If we start by cutting services to the public, the tax hikes on the rich are 100% guaranteed to never happen. And then after several years the economy declines, and inequality increases, and tax revenues go down, rinse, repeat and eventually you end up where we are now.

Why is making the public suffer considered fair game but making the super wealthy pay their share politically inconceivable?
I am more cynical. Congress is controlled by lobbyists which are controlled by oligarchs. Voters are controlled by the media which is controlled by oligarchs. I don't see us raising taxes significantly. Wishful thinking.

I also think we should try to cut spending BEFORE raising taxes. What seems better? Less waste and less tax or more waste and more tax? What is better for the economy (for the organization of labor and capital) in the long run? What will attract foreign investment? What will allow accrual of consumer savings?

DOGE is positive because we need a wrecking ball to come in and cut spending because the system is rotten and Congress and the media don't serve the people anymore. They plumb won't do it. I honestly couldn't think of a better personality profile than an idealistic 25 year old engineer who is young enough to hate the government and resent being born 100k in debt as much as I do. Who hates housing prices and health care and the MIC. Someone relentlessly logical whose raison d'entre is optimizing complex systems. At least they'll do something about all of this. Waiting on Congress to do something against the will of their masters is a losing game.

> Powerhouses of the cell

Will we ever get away from this cliche? I loathe it because it's not only a cliche but I don't believe it actually helps the lay person understand the role of mitochondria. It's not completely inaccurate since they're effectively refining energy substrates (fat, glucose) into ATP by converting ADP in the TCA cycle; ATP becomes ADP again from energy expenditure and the cycle repeats, to oversimplify things. Are we adequately teaching people that mitochondria don't create or release (utilizable) energy? I kind of doubt it. But maybe I'm just annoyed from hearing that descriptor a bajillion times starting from middle school.
You're not being very charitable, have you considered that you may be letting your biases have an undue influence on your judgement here?

> If there's a war, and you need ship matériel to the war zone, do you think commercial ships will enter it?

Yes, I think so. In wartime, a government can order them to do so. For example (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Mauretania_(1906)#First_Wo...):

“Mauretania was planned to replace the Lusitania on the Transatlantic run after the Lusitania was sunk, but she was ordered by the British government to serve as a troop ship to carry British soldiers during the Gallipoli campaign.”
The conventional wisdom around here is that Lisp (and Smalltalk) are looked upon so fondly because they were so far ahead of what else we had back then, both in terms of the language and development environments, but other languages have caught up over the years.

Do you think there is a modern non-Lisp language and environment that gives you something close to the productivity you had with Common Lisp back then?
I actually think we are talking about different things.

I don't dispute that you are coming from a sincere POV, but my point is that you haven't thought about the 2nd order consequences.

Liquidations are always messy, and usually wipe out value, and result in real losses of jobs and of customers. Have you thought about what happens when a trained operator is moved aside, by a vote of activist staff, to a charlatan (AKA "politician")?

Or, what about the tax consequences to the employees who get the awards ? What cash do they use to pay for the award ? Now employees are forced to sell to have liquidity. Who buys from them? A vicious CEO partnered with a vulture PE? Or maybe a competitor sitting on a pile of cash, with the well connected CEO's hidden knowledge about a founder competitor's health issues, and eagerly anticipating a monopoly upon death?

There's a million ways this goes literal off the rails. No company, no jobs, complete wealth destruction. There is another name for this action, when done without "regulation" support: its called confiscation or nationalization, and its usually done by despots or tyranical govts without respect to human flourising. That tells you all you need to know about this sort of tax.

An immoral action that is not illegal, its still immoral.

I mean that's what they teach 8th graders but it's reductive. Congress makes plenty of laws that restrict how the executive performs its functions (including how they allow people within the executive to do so), and it's an open question over how much power the executive has to create departments and appoint people to run them.

At the moment though, what they're doing is very much illegal. They just have a bunch of collaborators in the DOJ who won't bring charges or arrest anyone, because they're co-conspirators.
Your last sentence is basically my disagreement and push, here? Systems can be made so that they can be rolled back. More, systems that oversee life and death situations often have to act faster than a human can respond to them.

I'm all for trying to get personal accountability to lead to a personal liability as much as we want. That, just isn't going to happen.

So, if you want to change the manual page in question to be that systems should be reversible or "fixable", for whatever that means, sure. But "management decisions" are usually among the most reversible choices any company will ever make.

As compact-ish explanation: A "standard" wideband RF system in an EW or RF reconnaissance platform covers between 0-18 GHz (DC up to the Ku band), or at least as much of it as possible (and Ka/mmW becoming common on new systems); and they have challenging requirements compared to a communication system. Communication systems are simpler to design since both sides of the link cooperate and filter out a wide swath of potentially interfering signals, but a military system wants to see as many signals as possible so they can be collected or jammed. It has not been advantageous to use an integrated RFSoC in the past given the requirements. If a company were spending millions of dollars designing a complicated front end, they might as well pick a separate ADC/DAC that maximizes the performance they cared about, rather than go with the "easy" integrated RFSoC option that might not have the absolute best performance. Now the industry is just getting to the point that a system like a direct sampling ADC/DAC integrated into a Versal might be able to process massive bandwidths at high enough bit rates that they can do useful things for military applications; it may actually be worth it now because you can push to really high data rates, and the additional processing might make up for a small loss in ADC/DAC performance. Give it a couple years for these to make it into new designs and get fielded.

So I guess the tl;dr, is that it is not because defense doesn't like integrated packages, they just haven't been worth it considering the design goals. Defense does move slow, but this is more about being able to field "military-grade" solutions that work well in challenging RF environments, and once that is possible the government will start to pay for it.
Been gaming since forever and in the last 5 years I started getting nausated 70% of games I have played (also old once that were fine) and generally this is also what is working for me -- just a little bit here and there it gets a lot better.

I understand the article talks against this, but I am grateful that I am able to do this, but I wouldn't recommend it for everyone.
That only applies to US funds, but not in the UK ones which continue to be significantly more expensive...
FWIW, I've tried everything suggested in the replies to you so far, and nothing's worked. I've just given up trying to play any first-person POV games, sadly.
> Inflation or deflation, by definition, doesn't impact how much someone can buy in real terms. Because wages and goods are theoretically changing at the same rate.

From your earlier post:
> Frankly I suspect that if prices go down all else equal most people will be better off and able to afford more stuff. Wild take, I know.

As you mention above, this isn't likely to actually be that different.

But:

>In practice though inflation policy is typically masking money printing projects or policies that destroy wealth

Inflation rewards moving money into goods, and deflation rewards moving money out of goods. Generally, an economy where money moves around is better than one where it sits idle. Yes, it does penalize saving cash (), which offends many puritan mindsets (including mine), but it rewards risk-taking and committing your currency towards capital, both of which tend to make the economy more productive.

() - So, if your 'wealth' is in currency, then inflation does devalue your wealth. But if your wealth is in capital, that capital should fluctuate with the currency, and inflation doesn't devalue that.
This is a relatively recent feature. And yes, it is almost certainly because the images are awful quality before zooming in, so they want to limit how obvious this is.

I’ve purchased and evaluated a number of AR glasses and have come to the conclusion that the Vuzix Z100s are the most practical and functional, I actually wear them pretty often just for the convenience of notifications in my vision, because even watch glancing is distracting in comparison.

other I have are Viture’s, Frame, Everysight, and ActiveLook. All of those have downsides to wearing as glasses over Vuzix’s Z100. People just find you a big big frame geeky and don’t necessarily notice them as smart glasses unless they are particularly observant type.

Everysight Maverick are runner ups and work for summer outdoors situations as they are basically sunglasses.
I had a similar problem with sonnet.io (some articles taking weeks to get done).

So, I started untested (https://untested.sonnet.io) where for 111 days no matter what I'd share a post per day. Here's the first post: https://untested.sonnet.io/notes/111

Consistency really helps - there are posts that I had spent weeks on and barely anyone read them in the first place. Then, once I started posting smaller, messier notes almost daily, both the traffic (not that important to me) and the amount of interesting interactions with people (very important to me) went up by 100x.

Another way in which I avoided yak shaving/scope creep was to ditch my own site and rely on Obsidian Publish (I went back to my own solution after a year, as a reward for mostly sticking to the plan)

>[4]: I will probably never beat HL2 again

Only a handful of games I've played make me motion sick, but Half-Life 2 is really bad. I don't think I ever felt sick playing CS:GO, though, so it must be something specific to HL2 and not the whole Source engine.

Most recent game to make me sick was Metroid Prime, played in the PrimeHack Dolphin fork. I actually got full-on vertigo for possibly the first time in my life. When I went to bed that night the whole room was spinning when I got into bed. I don't drink alcohol, but stories of being way too drunk are what came to mind from that. Such a foreign feeling.

I bravely tried to play Metroid Prime again a day or two later. Increased the FoV as high as I could without causing glitches (there's a warning about the highest safe value), also tweaked horizontal camera speed, as I had felt like it wasn't turning fast enough and that maybe that was part of it. I think it was okay after that, but I'm still a bit scared of the game and haven't played it much.

The worst part of the motion sickness for me is that I seem to have to sleep it off, it doesn't go away on its own the same day, so as soon as it hits me, my day is genuinely ruined.
