Thanks for the heads up! It should be back up now
The native alphabet for most Southern Slavs would be Glagolitic - indeed, Croatians still occasionally used that in religious contexts as late as 19th century. Cyrillic alphabet is more or less Glagolitic with new and distinct letter shapes replaced by Greek ones, so it is in an of itself a product of the same process that you are complaining about; it just happened a few centuries earlier than the transition to Latin, so you're accustomed to its outcome being the normal.

I should also note that it's not like Cyrillic doesn't have its share of digraphs - that's what combinations like нь effectively are, since they signify a single phoneme. And, conversely, it's pretty obvious that you can have a Latin-based orthography with no digraphs at all, just diacritics.

This whole situation has to do with legacy encodings and not much else.
My South African colleague tells me he is happy that you have adopted him.
My opinion from analyzing the 37signals cloud offboard case is that it shouldn't have been done.

They didn't save a whole lot of money from it (they aren't spending a whole lot on it anyway), and now their business ever so slightly loses focus. Not to mention, as you said, the quality aspects. Cloud gives you many things "for free" (like local disk RAID, network and power redundancy, datacenter compliance, in-transit and on-disk encryption, optimized OS images, overall network security, controls around what their employees can do - that $5/month lowendbox provider from Romania is almost certainly logging into your VM and going through your files) which you lose when going to a "pre-cloud" provider.
With the Falcon 9 they're already at over 100 launches this year. It's multiple rockets, but the turn around is pretty quick and getting quicker every year. They're designing starship from the start with same day turnaround in mind. I wouldn't bet against it I guess.
People don't really do deep policy research in any country, but, to continue the example of Germany, I think most people have at least a vague idea of what each party stands for, something like:

* CDU - center-right, active everywhere except Bavaria

* CSU - permanent ally of CDU, active only in Bavaria

* SDP - center-left

* Greens - center, ecology

* FDP - pro-business, what Europeans call "liberal" and Americans would call something like "fiscally conservative" or "moderate libertarian"

* AfD - right-wing populist, socially conservative, anti-immigration (closest analogue to Trump)

* die Linke - Left (originally evolved from the totalitarian ruling party in East Germany, has since become much more moderate and accepted democracy)

* BSW - Left on economic issues, conservative on social/cultural issues

* SSW - Tiny regional party, irrelevant at the national level

The current governing coalition is SPD - Greens - FDP although there are severe tensions between them currently and they will probably break up soon.

I think it's relatively easy for most people to understand at this level of detail, and if the US had a working democratic system where getting X% of the vote roughly translates to getting X% of the influence and power, we probably would have at least the following:

* "Trump party" - Right-wing populist, skeptical or openly hostile to democratic norms

* anti-Trump right - Bush, etc.

* Centrist mainstream liberals - Biden, etc.

* Left-wing - Bernie, AOC, etc. Possibly split into two parties, one that cares more about economic issues and one that cares more about progressive social issues.

* Maybe some random minor parties like "Texas independence party" or similar.

In such a system I really doubt that the "Trump party" would get more than 30% of the vote.

So I think it's unfair to say that "Americans wanted Trump" when under a fairer political system he would not come close to a majority.

> Given that every Republican can't seem to beat him there must be some odd bias in the phone books you have.

No Republican has ever run against Trump in a fair democratic election. They ran against him in the partisan Republican primary, whose voters do not come close to reflecting "Americans" in general. I very strongly suspect that e.g. Nikki Haley could have beaten Trump in a head-to-head nationwide general election.
If you were going to give an example, Switzerland would have been a good one. But they have elements of exactly what I'm talking about, considering there are French, Italian, German quarters of the country.

Nordics have only recently become democracies, <100 years ago.

To clarify, the context of the discussion was the resiliency of democracy, not some dick measuring contest of which country is presently more democratic.
It always amazes me that a country that cares so much about being the 'best', cares so little about what people think of them.

Voting in this guy, and his policies reduces the legitimacy of the US. If Trump withdraws from Nato, then members may not pay so much to US for weapons any more. Protection money only works while you get Protection. Maybe the Visa and Mastercard tribute taxes we all pay back to the US will be less welcome.

Maybe, in the new protectionist world, tax dodging US tech companies will be less welcome too.
maybe I should call it petty theft instead of theft.
Every time I go to chatgpt.com I type chat into the address bar and it autocompletes to the correct site. Also when talking to my coworkers it's taken the same status as "googling" something. We just call it "chat". So yes, I also feel it's odd to see chat.com go to chatgpt but it's the shorthand some people are already using.

Examples of what my coworkers and I say at the office:

"What does chat have to say about x?"
"Did you ask chat"
"Did chat find the answer?"
"Yeah, chat scripted that one."
Your clinging to the idea that there is anyone at all who has said and meant, literally, that Kamala Harris was providing vasectomies to anyone is the kind of shrill idiocy that led her to lose this election.

>"this is what's known as a lie for propaganda"

No one is outright lying, but you are certainly being dishonest by insisting someone else was not speaking figuratively when they obviously were.

>"your(sic) forgot to explain what the problem is."

The problem is that it is weird and off putting to most Americans that there is a clinic offering sterilization procedures to supporters of a politician at their rally.
> Moving to the center wins you votes.

I'm confused. No one moved further from the center than Trump and it worked fantastically for hm.
Some of SpaceX's first stages are getting close to the individual Shuttles' launch counts, with substantially less turnaround time and cost than Shuttle ever had.

Starship has work to do, but it's hard to argue they're not at least on the right path.
IMO the fact that Harris is a black woman meant this was always going to be an extremely uphill battle. Someone like Harris winning would be completely unprecedented. I'm not surprised she lost, but I am disappointed.
Yeah, I've noticed over the years a lot of articles about oldest, tallest, <maximum other dimension> trees and they're always in the US. Strikes me that there's a likely bias there - the biggest results occur where you're doing the most looking
I like the long-term thinking, but what about other trends? Texas was quietly (it seems to me) getting less red up until this election. America is getting more diverse and more educated, and Boomers are slowly dying off while younger people have been overwhelmingly against Trumpism. So shouldn't the Trump / Republican base start shrinking? Maybe e.g. Texas +4 isn't necessarily horrendous for Democrats.
Stupid? Nah.
Ignorant? Yes, when it comes to technicalities of economics.
Not shocking.
If you hold down the start button while booting a DS game then the 3DS will render it with 1:1 pixels instead of ugly scaling, but then you're not using the whole display so a DSi XL is still better.
May be they will just think that the UI is updated and start sexting with chatgpt
Regardless of the causes, Harris should have acknowledged that things have been bad for a lot of people, and presented a plan for how to make it better.

Instead, she insisted the economy was doing great, and the millions of people whose wages have not risen enough to offset inflation just didn't know what they were talking about.

The economy has been doing great for some people, but not for the voters who ended up mattering to the election outcome.
> But it turns out that if you IPC 1TB of video per second on AWS it can result in enormous bills when done inefficiently.

that’s surprising to.. almost no one? 1TBPS is nothing to scoff at
Russia wants a few years of respite, ideally without sanctions and with the Ukraine military stripped to the studs, so that its own military can regroup and finish the job in a few years. Once that happens, the rest of Eastern Europe will be next and the Ukrainians will be first in the meat wave attacks, just like their compatriots from Eastern Donbass in 2022 (it has been occupied by Russia since 2014 and by now the towns there are nearly void of male population).
Real income (i.e. inflation-adjusted) actually increased the most for the lowest-percentile households from 2022 to 2023. https://www.whitehouse.gov/cea/written-materials/2024/09/10/...
Ok, but she won the primaries and was denied the nomination. What's the use of complaining that in 2016 she only got it because "it was her turn"? As if being denied what she rightfully won eight years earlier was somehow fair.
Are you serious? The entire nation was fully captivated this election cycle.
More reasonable would be to explain the grocery prices will likely never come back down but we can increase workers' wages through certain policies. Biden's policy of opening the border to undocumented labor is not a policy that I believe will help increase the wages of those concerned about the cost of groceries.
Telco, and I'm sure other industries, are adopting hybrid. Many things core to the business are being yanked out of the cloud.
Interesting, yup, looks like it was blocked by the network PiHole.
Still refusing to listen to us plebeians. I can't afford groceries. I'm not looking for a scholar-bureaucrat reframe of my problem. I'm looking for a solution.
Generally that isn't done for a vehicle in orbit, since the distribution of debris in orbits used by other spacecraft would be significant.

A Starship second stage stranded in orbit would be a problem because detonation would cause a bunch of orbital debris, but simply waiting for natural re-entry would result in an unpredictable landing location that could result in large debris reaching populated areas.

Reliable, controlled re-entry to a targeted location is very important for Starship to be an operational launch system.
Sticker prices don’t come down. Deflation is the boogeyman of economists.
Needs tend to develop once the means are there.

200 years ago, there was no need to use electricity. 100 years ago, there was no need to use a programming language. 30 years ago, there was no need for gigabit wireless Internet.
Certainly not limited to white men
Arizona and Nevada both voted for abortions rights even though they voted republican. The left and right aren't a boolean option, a left candidate who says the system isn't working may do just as well as a right candidate who says the same because they get more of "the grocery prices are broken" crowd even if their overall policies are less palatable.
SpaceX is doing well despite the RWNJ at the top.
>This sounds more like a scare people who don't know better from trying to enforce their rights, though I do think things like that should have some level of punishment.

Similar to those "not responsible for x" signs you see at stores, when they are 100% legally responsible for x, or those "stay back x distance" signs on large trucks on the highway to try and avoid responsibility for their unsecured loads causing damages.
> Inflation is increase in the cost of living.

This isn't entirely accurate, either. An increase in the cost of living occurs when real wages fall (in other words, when workers paid less, in real terms (adjusted for inflation), for the same amount of work). In principle, inflation doesn't necessarily lead to an increase in the cost of living, although in practice usually it does.
The polls did pretty well this election. They underestimated Trump, but by less than previously. Polls pretty overwhelmingly showed a 50/50 race in every swing state but those odds were always correlated since they're not independent events

People are looking at the popular vote and freaking out but lets not forget that there's still 7 million left to count in California and it's expected to net Harris almost 3 million votes
From 2022 to 2023 they got the biggest real income bump of any group: https://www.whitehouse.gov/cea/written-materials/2024/09/10/...
Is this really an AWS issue? Sounds like you were just burning CPU cycles, which is not AWS related. WebSockets makes it sound like it was a data transfer or API gateway cost.
Honestly right now Anthropic offer a better service, at least if you are a programmer, I don't really see the moat.
> Depending on how bad the hike is, maybe? You're essentially arguing that consumers are unresponsive to price increases which just isn't true.

I'm arguing there are items that are less elastic when it comes to prices:

* https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/priceelasticity.asp

Someone lives in the US, which is addicted to sprawling, car-centric suburbs. Car prices go up. What are they going to do? Walk? Bike? Take public transit? (Which is one of the arguments for (so-called) 15 minutes cities: it gives people more freedom to choose their mode of transportation instead of forcing one particular mode.)

Are you not going to buy a refrigerator when yours break down and food starts going bad?

While they can stretch out the depreciation/lifespan schedule, are business going to stop buying laptops and servers? If their (capex) costs go up, are the businesses going to eat that cost or pass it on to their customers?
They are presumably using the GPU for video encoding....

And the GPU for rendering...

So they should instead just be hooking into Chromium's GPU process and grabbing the pre-composited tiles from the LayerTreeHostImpl[1] and dealing with those.

You're probably right, but I think the popular vote stats tell a more realistic story of how the population actually sees things.
But what are you basing your personal judgment on? What would have been reasonable to you?

My comment was about how under the EU's framework, Apple's behavior is totally rational. If Apple complies more than necessary, it could cost them far more than the fine, so obviously they undershoot compliance, accept the fine, and then proceed with minimal compliance. If the commission were simply upfront with about specifics of compliance, it could all be avoided.
Can I ask, what do you think is likely to happen to inflation when you slap tariffs on imports?
>the US Supreme Court decided more or less exactly that presidents can break the law and get away with it

no, they did not. The court pointed out that the remedy (specified in the Constitution) for a president who breaks the law is impeachment and conviction by the house and senate. After which, that former president could be subject to prosecution.
As with most things in life, as long as both are consenting adults, great.
> Instead, 15% of all Black adults in that state are not allowed to vote. Similarly, in Florida, 10% of all adults cannot vote.

After some research it seems like this is due to felony convictions. I agree voting privileges should be restored upon completion of sentence, but dang I'm more concerned that 10% of all adults in Florida are convicted felons, what's up with that?
In the most left-wing jurisdiction in America by a DA that campaigned on "getting Trump", who was famous for reducing felonies to misdemeanors, but in the case of Trump raised a misdemeanor to a felony.
And this was for a charge for which there was no precedent, and nor was there any victim.
And the judges daughter had connections to the Democrat party too.
People arent stupid.
Yes, I understand that some people actually are worse off, and a much larger group of people incorrectly believe they are worse off.
The polls, in aggregate, were fairly accurate: 50/50 chance for the most part. The Selzer Iowa poll felt like false hope to me immediately.
The bigger one is the one with the 4 in it, obviously!
she didn't outperform 2020 biden in any county in the united states.
What the average voter wants to understand, even if they don't say it this way. "Why didn't my wages/pension/etc rise at the same inflation rate as my groceries?"
I admit it, I enjoy the FB videos for comments like this. It is hilarious. It never matters a bit whether the target is a good welder or not, guarantee a raft of people will swing by and tell them they suck.
Yes, voting for a bunch of corrupt billionaires and their friends will surely fix the wealth distribution issue. A sound plan, for sure!
Why Bad Code Exists
What you are doing has a name these days, they call it sanewashing. Had Harris or Biden said anything even close to trumps comments the maga crowd would have yelled bloody murder, but somehow for trump everything is excusable and can be explained away.
A laundry machine today could be a risky investment as you don't know how many years it will last.
My old flat had a machine that broke down (It was less than 6 months old) and there was a known problem with the model which was to do with the input pad to set the settings. Luckily it was under warranty, but even still the stop was fighting hard to replace it :/ (I think it was fisher and paykel, they used to be good but they moved the manufacturing base from New Zealand to overseas).

The U.S. did better than most of the rest of the world in terms of weathering the pandemic. The stimulus money is the reason for that.
> Democrats, despite winning the popular vote in all but 2 elections since 1988, are pretty much completely out of power

It's almost as if they need a different platform that can get them a win instead of complaining that the majority of their voters live in a handful of states.

The election system is what it is.

If you want to win, you need to do something to win - not complain about the system.
> Let us know what you think!

Are you sure?
The previous flight was October 13, 2024, so while I can't speak to every day, one month turnaround is a reality.
he sat down on a podcast and talked for 3 hours about his policies
There are people who are economically literate, and who recognise that the massive money printing under trump to deal with the covid shut down of the economy contributed to inflation, as did the war in ukraine and supply chain disruptions, but that also, everything the dems did after that made the problem worse. By the time Biden took power, vaccines were getting rolled out, lockdowns were not warranted anymore, and the massive spending that Biden pushed was unnecessarily inflationary, as Manchin said at the time. And the fed kept printing money way after it should have stopped, most likely to support Biden's spending plan.

Car companies did make some compliance cars (I own one - Ford Focus 2017) and honestly it's a great city car. My wife prefers it to our more expensive SUV EV.

In addition to the spark EV, Fiat 500 EV, etc these are all no longer sold here. You might be able to pick one up used.
For South Africa, someone like Trump would be a huge improvement. Their governance is just abysmal, bad even for African standards. For example, you get much more reliable grid in Kenya than in SA.
How exactly?

Harris didn't run even a center-left campaign, she pushed center-right except on a few issues at the margins and it was late in the game on that front.

Americans generally favor more liberal policies economically, like stronger labor rights, universal healthcare, student debt cancellation etc. There was a lot to offer voters of all stripes there.

I think too many Democrats counted on a huge pro abortion turn out of women specifically and that translating into democratic votes, which, even to my surprise, it did not.
I think people keep saying crap like this: Prices can absolutely come down without killing the economy. It's done by doing smart things that republicans were making talking points:

* Drill for oil, lower the price of gas, prices at the store come down.

* Stop the wars that make for unstable access for gas.

* Create pipelines so that instead of "flaring" Natural gas, we transport it cheaply to be used for electricity generation

* Change the tariff structure so that American goods are worth something against Chinese imports that raises the value of the dollar which lowers the cost of goods

* Stop the insane energy policies that raise gas prices by 45 cents per gallon (in CA for example) for 0.0001% change in climate

NONE of these were democrat talking points.
The main benefit is that it's a no-compromise product. High single thread performance for games and there's more of those cores for productivity, it'd be the best workstation CPU and the best gaming CPU in one package.
The shuttle boosters required rebuilding / refueling (which is solid rocket goop) and the fuel tank was completely lost and required rebuilding. The head shield tiles were extremely fragile on the shuttle.

It was never a fully reusable design, just more reusable than before.

SpaceX plans to have no parts that are lost each flight and is working to make the tiles mostly standardized and less sensitive to faults.
Any other notable events that happened in the 30s that could have driven deflation? Could tariffs be linked to that event? (To be less coy, the great depression occurred in the 1930s. Counter tariffs led to less exports, which further hurt the economy. The arrow of causality is indirect, tariffs -> counter tariffs -> worse economy -> deflation) [1]

Recent example: Gas prices deflated during covid. Why? Massive reduction in driving and buying of gasoline.

[1] https://www.britannica.com/topic/Smoot-Hawley-Tariff-Act

"Smoot-Hawley contributed to the early loss of confidence on Wall Street and signaled U.S. isolationism. By raising the average tariff by some 20 percent, it also prompted retaliation from foreign governments, and many overseas banks began to fail. (Because the legislation set both specific and ad valorem tariff rates [i.e., rates based on the value of the product], determining the precise percentage increase in tariff levels is difficult and a subject of debate among economists.) Within two years some two dozen countries adopted similar “beggar-thy-neighbour” duties, making worse an already beleaguered world economy and reducing global trade. U.S. imports from and exports to Europe fell by some two-thirds between 1929 and 1932, while overall global trade declined by similar levels in the four years that the legislation was in effect."
Oh, it's gonna send inflation through the roof. Trump's economic policies are likely disastrous, and I am fretting about my 401k.

That said, I have been contending that people experience prices and talking about lowering inflation when prices have recently gone up is net negative for the incumbent administration.
We’ll have it fixed so good could mean the system will be fixed, as in rigged. You are sanewashing the words of an unstable man
