Just don't book a round trip, don't check a bag, don't do it too often. Also you're gambling that they don't cancel your flight and book you on a new one to the city you don't actually want to go to (that no longer connects via the hidden city). You can get half price tickets sometimes with this trick.

what politically needs to happen is there to be real, fundamental steps towards a european defence union to safeguard its nuclear stockpile and thus its sovereignty.

The last couple of months have shown that the world is moving back into a multilateral order, in which individual european nations are far too small individually, in which they would be used as pawns on the geopolitical chessboard by nations with far larger economies and populations.
i would rather have to discuss the use of defensive materiel with a Frenchman then an American, considering the latter has two oceans between it and any major threats.

> Instead, they are hacked because some did not install updates of some component on the webserver, password authentication was used, the same passwords are used on different servers, etc. or some bug in some overly complex Microsoft infrastructure part.

Last I checked (a few months ago) 8 out of 10 breaches were due to human error.

As far as reducing breaches go, you'll get more bang for your buck by ensuring employees are up to date on their routine security awareness training.

Your employees are much much easier to hack than your computers. "Choice of language" is a blip in the stats.
This misses the point of isospin. Isospin is an approximate SU(2) symmetry due to the fact that the up and down quarks (the "light" quarks) have very similar masses compared to the rest of the quarks, so they can be approximated as two different eigenstates of the same particle. It's mathematically identical to the SU(2) symmetry of a spin-half particle. The reason it doesn't include the other quarks is because they are so much more massive.
That, “we need to maintain the ability to pester the user again” pattern is really annoying. Apple should add a screen at initial setup that allows the user to default every permission that it’s possible to use that pattern with to “no” and skip the one time dialog just to screw with apps that do it.

Signing up for stuff. Pretty much every online retailer will pay you via discount for your email address.

I set up a specific junk email address for this purpose and give to every retailer I shop with for their initial x% discount, and I receive coupon codes going forward.

From what I can tell, this is the best way to get discounts. Retailers are generous with people they know a lot about. The flip side is that you're going to be a target for their tricks. If you click on a link or add something to your cart, they are going to send you reminders and even more discounts to get you to buy that item.

Personally, I've been happy with this setup. I only see the promo spam when I want to. And my email becomes a personalized coupon code search engine that contains much better deals than you could get by using retailmenot or similar sites.
This seems like a very expensive way to govern. Prison is not cheap.
supabase has the most schizoid brand. They should just embrace the fact that mobile devs don't want to do backend for their crud app rather than trying to be the "everything backend".

why are they releasing a web component library when React Native doesn't even have a decent UI library? Like who are supabase's customers again??
The concept is out there -- different players would have different tendencies that would require slightly different adjustments.

This will make the team owners either do their own analysis, or come up with yet more excuses to hide the fact that while they could afford it, they won't.

> Surely the real burden would be remembering all those billions of lives with only your paltry human mind to bear it.

the being going through this in the story is not a human. a tiny part of them dips its finger into the universe created by the narrator and what is experienced is a human life, but the being experiencing those lives is not human. the human is the lower dimensional representation of the higher-dimensional being that the narrator is speaking to.

if I touch a sheet of paper, part of me exists in the same plane as the paper, but I am not a piece of paper, I am a much more complex being. It is the same for the narrator and the person who just died and believed until this conversation that they were "merely" a human. the humanity of this being is the interface between them and their past selves. once they graduate/hatch from this egg, they are much larger than the sum of all the lives that they have lived. they contain all of those experiences, and will remember them all.
> I'm pretty sure you could "vibe code" a Jira or Jenkins clone in a couple of days and at least pass the PoC sniff test.

oh man, just think of the security implications of a "vibe coded" CI system, holy shit I'm going to have to get into consulting because there is going to be SO MUCH MONEY to be made digging organizations out of self-created holes like this one.

Jira too, considering the importance of RBAC there, if you tried to replace that in a couple of days, inevitably that's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

That's why in Europe there are strict laws regarding lax security of customer data and companies can be fined with a percentage of their turnover - which in the case of Oracle could hurt a bit.
Training is massive for our senses. I’ve been learning the piano lately and I’m starting to notice I’m getting more information from listening to music. It’s really weird - like, I’ll play an old piece I’ve listened to a thousand times. But now I can separate out the different parts of the song in my head now. It’s obvious - how could I not have heard it before?

I think foodies are like that. I knew one girl years ago from a foodie family. Anything she ate, she could list out all the ingredients and tell you how it was prepared. It was uncanny. I don’t think she had a special mouth. Just, she came from a family which bonds through cooking. Their family goes on hikes where everyone cooks a fancy gourmet meal one night for the camp. She’s been training her palate since she was a toddler. It shows. The difference is insane.
Oh boy, here we go…
These counterfactual comparisons are a slippery slope and not as helpful as you think. I hardly think that you, I, or most others have an intuitive understanding for what happens when a 1 gram meteor hits earth. Have you ever witnessed that?

The average failure state of a battery is not similar to detonating a handful of TNT on an airplane, which is a more instantaneous explosion. Sure, some battery failure states are violent and would unquestionably be a cause for an airplane to call a mayday and land, but something like puncturing a soft-cell battery is still a slower release than TNT.

We should just expect people to get better at understanding useful units — I'd prefer someone learns Wh since it is indeed a useful metric—kWh is the usual major unit of energy at home, and Wh is just smaller than that.
Copilot is the only authorized AI at my company (50K FTE).
I would be cautious to make any assumptions about how well anyone is doing in the AI space without some real numbers. My cynical opinion on enterprise software sales is that procurement decisions have absolutely nothing to do with product cost, performance, or value.

The terrain is sort of difficult in the Canadian Shield, but it gets easy in the prairies, and then very difficult as you head west into the Rockies. I think the bigger problem going north and west of the Quebec City/Toronto corridor is the sparse population.

With a single line, you would also need to choose between serving Edmonton (like the CN mainline) or Calgary (like the CP mainline). VIA rail currently skips Calgary even though it's the bigger/faster growing city.

Really, you need at least 3 lines because you also have to go both north and south of Lake Huron. And that's not even getting into Atlantic Canada.

So it turns out the numbers are all valid. With or without AI they just misinterpreted the data. But indeed 2.9 billion records were stolen, whoever wrote this just clearly misunderstood that an individual could have more than 1 record associated to their person.

Im glad this landed here so I can ask:

Physics nerds, would a “larger contact area” give the baseball more velocity?

I’ve been speculating that moving the mass lower effectively increases bat speed because its a “shorter bat”, but all of the commentary is acting like the larger barrel is “more power”.

I’d expect larger barrel increases odds of contact, not increased power transfer?

(But I also think of a car with bike diameter wheels and that could obviously change the power transfer)

He wasn't loyal enough to the brand to not eject. The top brass in the F-35 project didn't like that. They needed to blame the pilot rather than the faulty machine in order to protect Lockheed Martin's and their own reputation.
> trade school, while potentially viable for a single person to fix their own situation, is not the answer to the overall problem at a societal level

Isn't it? Isn't being realistic about your skills in relation to the rest of the world in the current time and place (as opposed to some idealistic past that may or may not have ever existed) a way to "fix this" at a societal level?

Whether or not it's easy or even possible to live a middle-class without starting a business or getting a college degree is irrelevant to whether or not we should be giving college degrees to people who submit this as an answer to a final exam:

The wealthy are not trying to maintain the status quo though, they are actively trying to dismantle the remnants of the social/welfare state. I would argue that it is exactly that social system that allowed them to become wealthy, and they want to hold and hoard the wealth, stifling economic mobility and increasing the divide. This is stupid though as it increases social tensions and IMO puts them even more at risk of losing their wealth.

The reactionary propaganda does come from the top. Case in point: Elons “X the everything app” and him promoting afd - one has to wonder why he cares so much about immigrants. The answer seems simple, if they are not the target, he is.
Learning to ride a bicycle is also hard work. :-)
I find the road cycling arms race really fascinating too, especially for tech focused on measurement rather than performance.

Hi Ken,

Nice article. While reading I remembered that I watched some time ago the Oral History of Gary Davidian and he was quite bit involved with microcoding. And if I were you I would try asking him if he could be able to give you some ideas where to get more information about microcode workings and development.

Here are links to that interview, if you have time to watch it. It's in two parts.

Garry Nolan: Aliens – The Case They're Here [video]
For a single user I would start pricing at $5/m on an annual subscription or $9 for monthly. Getting customers in the door and retaining them through the early product evolution cycles is the major hurdle in the early stages.

Beyond that, I would create an offering with 1-2 features tuned towards business customers. This kind of tool is a great knowledge management addition, and knowledge sharing is hugely valuable for business customers.

I'd price it the same per seat at the start ($5/m annual vs 9$/m monthly) and sell multiple seats at a time this way. If this works well, you will have found an existence proof of a highly lucrative customer group.
A million Americans take a drug called Exenatide for diabetes.

Exenatide exists because government-funded VA researchers were isolating compounds from Gila monster venom to see what they did.

They were fooling around with random reptile venom because other government researchers at the NIH were exposing test animals to Gila monster spit to see how it worked and they noticed effects on the pancreas.

The wider medical community thought it was absurd that a molecule derived from Gila monster spit could treat diabetes and it took several years of the VA scientist going to conferences and repeatedly presenting his findings before a single (relatively small, at the time) company decided to take a risk and license the discovery.

Exenatide was one of the first drugs to target the GLP-1 receptor. During trials and subsequent approval it was noted that some people lost weight while taking it.

This led to further research by pharmaceutical companies, with Lilly, being part one of the partners in an alliance to manufacture Exenatide, finally developing tirzepatide.

Mounjaro and Zepbound exist because a small team of government-funded scientists were playing around with lizard spit in the 1980s.

Certain people are completely incapable of understanding how seemingly useless research can lead to advances.

Either that, or they hate the fact that it happens and want to destroy it.

Or anything that takes more than a year or two (the above was a 40+ year process) to come to fruition is difficult to comprehend.

One of the major reasons the US is rich is that a relatively small trickle of government scientific research funding turns into a great tsunami of profit after decades and decades of profitless slow burning.
It's strength, size and technique of multiple people working together.

You'd think it'd be easy to watch game footage and just replicate what the Eagles do, but other teams haven't been able to get the formula right.

This is the reason that banning it is controversial. Why make it illegal when most teams can't make work well?
I genuinely can't understand the thought process of a Yankees fan. If it's just a tradition thing, then sure whatever. But someone who watches them play and goes "yeah that's my team" is just mindblowing. They'll have a batting lineup that costs more than the opponents entire field, knowing full well they are all just hired guns who will be gone the moment the contract is up, and then you watch them in the playoffs against regular teams and it's just visually hilarious at this point. Like watching a bunch of NFL linebackers playing teeball.
Formula 1 is supposed to be like that except without the drugs. It’s a competition for both the racers and the manufacturers.
Rush hour is over in the Bay Area. Welcome to the era of permanent traffic
One additional wrinkle to the tush push is that it WAS illegal until the mid-2000s. Sort of like the 3 point line in basketball, it has taken many years for a team to take advantage of the new rule to its fullest extent.

I think people generally take the perspective of "it used to be illegal, so it's reasonable to make it illegal again" in a way they don't when a team is just doing something new.
Sounds great, thanks for all the good work!

By the way, if this would make things simpler, perhaps you can implement chamfering as a post-processing step. This makes it maybe less general, but it would still be super useful.
If you're happy with that then great! That's wonderful.

But for me there's just no going back - it's that big of a difference. I'll happily pay any price to have a wire-free experience. It's just magical, especially as someone who lives in a city and walks a lot / takes the subway / plays sports / spends time in the gym / etc.

I haven't been using Windows as my main OS for a few years now but at least when i used it with Windows 10 it didn't detect "everything as a virus". In fact i can't even remember a single time i had issues with Windows Defender.

Unless you refer to Windows SmartScreen? That is a different thing - really about how popular some program is (though Microsoft did put it under Windows Defender at some point so it can be confusing) - and isn't about the antivirus (which is what i was referring to).
this is also the reason why french nuclear doctrine is so offensive.
the force de dissuasion specifically allows for a nuclear "warning shot". A small nuclear warhead which is to be used against conventional forces to show the enemy france means bussiness and this is the last and final warning prior to Armageddon.

It also forces all major nuclear powers to act in some way if it is ever used. It allows france to wield a far larger stick compared to its nuclear arsenal.
i'm jealous. Hope your kitchen setup brings you much joy.
> You see something similar going on in football, right now, with a play known as the "tush push".

No, I don't on its face. However, it will get me to ask them additional questions trying to determine if their ethical/moral sensibilities are aligned with the questionable company or not.
ATProtocol (the thing Bluesky is building that changes the social media game) enables anyone to create custom feeds (algorithms) and moderation services.

>I don't think even free-speech absolutists apply it to a general right to share any arbitrary information, such as... intimate recordings of people taken without consent

Does sharing a non-intimate recording of someone count as speech? Can the government make it illegal for me to share a photo that a government official thinks makes them look ugly? What about a photo of an official committing a crime? What if that photo was taken somewhere private and without their consent? Or what if it was actually an "intimate recordings of people taken without consent", but one of the people involved was the president and they were recorded in a drug fueled fling with a prostitute? Should publishing that be illegal?

How can you define speech so that it can be applied consistently to specific questions like this? Odds are you'll end up with a definition so full of nuances and caveats that the "absolutist" part of the term is rendered meaningless.

Tech feels like it’s been hijacked by enterprise-minded tinkerers obsessed with uptime and type safety, yet utterly allergic to soul. No one’s making beautiful or weird things anymore, just pipelines and SDKs for more pipelines. It’s like watching jazz musicians only play scales. So tired of this industry.
They've recruited the players necessary to pull it off effectively. That's not a simple thing to remedy for other teams.
>This seems too cynical to me. I think child protection services (by whatever name in whatever country) do genuinely care about kids' welfare.

Individuals who work for such an agency may care about kids. They are human after all, humans often care (though not always). But an agency is a different beast, and is at best apathetic. They can be certainly be cruel, but never really kind. They can be hateful, but never loving. Agencies would cease to exist if they could express virtue, but they often thrive when expressing vice. This is not cynicism, just an understanding of the dynamics of groups of people. Virtue is maladaptive at those scales, it does not provide survival advantage.
This is interesting to me—are you an app developer that does this pattern for that reason? I definitely figured it was exclusively because they can request repeatedly for the fake prompt, and only “use” their prompt when the user is inclined to accept. There are times where I’ll accept the first prompt and reject the second prompt when apps are spammy about it.
It's not full circle. It's using built-in browser capabilities instead of a special sideloaded runtime granted by a browser extension.

An example of full circle would be if wasm apps needed a browser extension so that they could access APIs not allowed by the browser.
