In practice, in recent battles, the US quickly gains air superiority and US fighter pilots face little if any challenge or danger. I'm not sure it's much of prevention.

Before manned US fighters enter a war zone, cruise missile attacks, HARM missiles, and stealth bombers usually take out the air defense system and bomb runways. The US really hasn't faced a challenge to air superiority in decades.

I'd prefer we find other ways to keep out of war rather than a few hundred pilots at negligible risk.
> Sadly for Denmark we pissed of SAAB

Do you have any info? I can only find basic press releases about SAAB not bidding because they did not expect to win against a plane that Denmark helped develop.

Is there more history? Sounds interesting.
I like the part where he mentions why using a traditional GUI tool is more difficult than using an expressive language with basic syntax.

"But in photoshop, I instead am relying on the problem being solved externally ("ok, how can I find the right menu that deals with this kind of operation? what's the word the designers of photoshop used to describe this... I hope if I google it in plain text it might link to a forum post or something of someone with the same problem?")."

This is valid for most cases when GUIs are harder to use than a CLI with syntax.
But Uber doesn't represent that shift, since taxi drivers were already considered contractors and paid by the ride.
Yes, that's why using a blockchain is only feasible for applications that do not generate too much data. With one transaction being 500 bytes in size, a billion transactions occupy 500 GB, which is still managable by an average PC. Once Bitcoin reaches Visa-level transactions rates (100 million per day), there's 500 TB of transaction data per year. That would be a problem for today's network, but it is still in the realm of feasibility as long as the professionalization continues.
That doesn't make any sense. Energy is fungible. Just sell your power back to the grid if it's worth more than BC. If it's worth less that BC then buy from the grid.

"Assigning" your solar cells to BC is meaningless.
For me the only way I can make wave-particle duality and associated observations believable is to think that light and similar entities always travel as a wave, but sometimes interact like particles.

This understanding is in line with this experiment without believing that future affects the past. It's just that atom is never a particle until it reaches detector at the end. Only there it displays ability to exchange momentum with one other single atom as if two billiard balls hit. Throughout the whole experiment it travels as a wave, both paths, grating or no grating. It just either interferes if there was second grating or not if there was no second grating.

How is Uber in any way different in terms of "job security" and "getting paid only when they are useful" than taxis?

Taxi drivers were already mostly contractors, who had to pay to work (renting a medallion from one of the rich guys who owned them, renting the car, paying for gas) and then got paid per ride.

I dislike Uber as a company in general, but I don't get this idea that they represent some worsening of the work conditions, as if previous workers were employed with benefits.

for day to day usage not all the data needs to be kept. for example, you could keep just the unspent outputs (instead of all previous transactions).

The fact that you're commenting on this site most likely means you're not in a position to make this judgement call. Perhaps you don't work at a job where you're expendable, where the management looks down upon you because you're "white trash" or an "uppity black", where telling your boss that you were unfairly arrested doesn't get you any sympathies(unpaid leave, or fired), and the bank supplying your mortgage certainly isn't sympathetic to your appeal that you lost all your money because you had to go and defend yourself in court instead of actually working.

The problem isn't me being pulled over and questioned. I can brush it off as an unfortunate side-effect of an otherwise beneficial solution. Those people that live day by day and have no allowance to deal with this shit literally have their lives ruined by such an interaction.
If you decide to got to war with Russia (- or more likely Russia decides to go to war with you) is exactly when the F-35 would prove the most useless being incapable of actually standing up to the newest Russian jets.

The Norwegians planning to buy F-35s as well. This risks leaving the whole of Northern Europe exposed to a Russian strike. (Actually considering the existing F-16s are outdated the exposure is already there but it looks like the new investment will make it worse.)

People that don't believe that a US company whose business model is based solely on breaking the law in other countries and compromising passenger safety aren't idiots.

And let's be clear in many countries taxi drivers are far more rigorously screened and of course have security cameras. Both of which Uber has been a bit lax at.
That's because once again the government were targeting those least able to afford it, while leaving the rich to do whatever they want.
That's assuming that the simulation is running on classical computers. The simulation could be running on quantum computers or who-knows-what. Quantum computers might not be so inconvenient to build to make in the host world's physics.
It's pretty damn evil against taxi services.

There is a reason that we fight our battles with guns and bombs rather than swords and shields; removing the soldier from danger insofar as is feasible while maintaining combat superiority has been the aim of most all warfare technology developments since the dawn of time.

While you can most certainly argue against the ethics of war, if you're going to permit war as a reality of human existence, then I'd say it's quite unethical to insist on waging said war with technologies that put your soldiers at any further risk than necessary.

It's not like we aim to fight fair wars.
If one had to print tickets, that might be a problem. But with cellphones, you could just have everyone et their seating at the gate. And "dynamically" move people that are late, out of the way.

So, lets say a plane seat 100, 75 show up on time - seat them automatically when the show up at the gate according to preferences. Those that remain, get what remains when they arrive. Want your seat? Want to sit with your group? Be at the gate 10 minutes before boarding (or however long it takes people to line up).

There's no economy of scale for solar - just more and more panels, in contrast to more traditional power sources where running one big boiler / set of turbines can be more efficient. So I think solar gets worse off as electricity demand increases.
If people are losing money mining, they'll either stop mining or run out of money to pay their electricity bills. Either way, problem solves itself.
>what I think is the biggest dilemma is that users need to have a certain level of knowledge in order to understand what their devices are doing and control them; but many don't want to; they only see the advantages and don't care about how something works

This is why regulation is important. Most people don't care what their phone tattles about them to their provider. Similarly, most people don't read the ingredient list on their food.

But the ingredient list /has/ to be there, by regulation, and because it is, small numbers of people can post analysis that guides the entire population.

We need similar regulation over computerized devices, and that's everything from desktop computers through phones to self-driving cars and smart fire alarms.

Do you have a source for this "information leaking" concept. I remember hearing about an experiment confirming such an idea, but I can't recall what it was.
ASR will not help improve efficiency unless you don't care about the mistakes made by ASR (for example, close captioning of real-time audio). Why? Because transcribers will need to listen to audio again to be able to correct the mistakes made by ASR. Basically, once ASR listening to audio and then transcriber listening the audio again to correct mistakes made by ASR. Also, you will increase you cost as you will need costly "editors" to correct the ASR mistakes instead of cheaper "transcribers" to transcribe, reviewing and transcribing requires different skill set.

At one time I invested in a medical transcription business that experimented with voice-to-text technologies but couldn't generate any additional efficiency in transcription by using technology. What worked in improving efficiency was the transcriber's knowledge of medical terminology and medical field, matching the same transcriber with the same speaker as transcriber became acclimated with the nuances and tones of the speaker, and letting transcriber handle only certain type of transcription.

Transcription is a manual operation and Toyota Way is a good way to maximize efficiency.
I don't know about that.

Isn't the exact reason for such planes to be able to have a credible defense vs. Putin and his ilk, so as to not tempt Russia to make advances on Europe. AFAIK, Denmark is patrolling the skies of the Baltic nations vs. Russia right now. I don't think Denmark wants to do that in an obsolete 1970s fighter plane.

The F-35 looks like a disappointment, but we can be 100% sure it will be able to carry the newest weapons-systems for the foreseeable future. That begs the question; is it preferable to have ageing weapons on a nimble plane, or the newest weapons on a clumsy plane?

I don't feel Europe has the luxury of skipping the F-35 (or equivalents, which the Saab is not, AFAIK) for a successful successor, when Putin is going crazy with propaganda inside Russia.
This is exactly what Lewis Page (defence reporter @ The Reg) suggested, ditching the F35 order and buying in some Rafales or F-18 Hornets -http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/04/17/f35_carriers_plot_by...

Seems the UK have also ordered a shedload of F35s to replace a number of different roles in the RAF including the carrier launched Harrier jets. We've since sold the Harriers to the US which is quite telling really.
Eurofighter maybe, for the Rafale problem is it's not really an EU fighter jet in the sense that it was not conceived from a collaboration of EU countries.

Regardless of this choice, I would say that EU countries/companies should seriously collaborate on making a good UCAV, that's the future. Maybe the Neuron https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_nEUROn is a good first step, but it would be great if Germany and UK participated too, or on the next iteration of the project. On big projects like that EU needs to be united.

It's not about what I want. It's the principle of getting rid of laws which are blatantly anti consumer. Your example does not have any relevance in this discussion.
A big reason for the huge price tag and many delays has to do with the very broken military acquisition process. It's a mess, a huge problem that not many people have much insight into and fewer posses the real motivation and capability to change.

Nobody wants to dogfight – the F-35 wasn't designed for it and modern strategy has nothing to do with it. You destroy the enemy with smart missiles long before either of you sees the other – F35 stealth is designed to delay detection as long as possible. This report takes the test completely out of context. It wasn't a wargame between A and B, it was a very specific situation under severe restrictions used to test the boundaries of the F-35's role. A real wargame would end with both sides never getting within miles. Not understanding the context of why the test was done leads to real misunderstanding.

----

As for drones - it is true they have a huge future, but they aren't the only solution. Modern air superiority battles are as much about stealth and electronic warfare as anything else. If your entire enemy is remote-controlled robots, your real target becomes the communications. There is very real value to having a human in the theater of battle – many of the strengths of the F-35 revolve around it as a platform for the interaction of many different communications, intelligence, and weapons assets ... the pilot is the command and control center for a whole network of activity which is much more resilient than remote control satellite RC planes and missiles.

Dog fighting only happens when absolutely everything else fails and both sides can bring each other into the stone age of point-and-shoot flying.

---

In a real war with a competent enemy, the first target (if we aren't all erased in a nuclear inferno) is going to be communications satellites.

Remember that a significant portion of how America fights battles is winning wars on paper so nobody ever thinks it's a good idea to start a real one, and by that I mean a war against a competent enemy playing at the same level – not regional conflicts and proxy wars like we've been fighting since WWII.

Hmm, I figure it's more the the optimizer depends on code not exhibiting undefined behavior, like in C. It's not really the case that it's lazily evaluated, just the the causality gets screwy when you try to observe things in an asynchronous system without any kind of coherent memory model.

I guess I need to elaborate on this answer.

Perhaps our observations are a result of existing within two gravitational space-time distortions, one trivial and one not. The trivial one being the Sun and the non-trivial being the galaxy which we inhabit.

If curvature of space-time theorized by General Relativity is accepted, then observing non-local energy will be affected by gravity in which the observation is being undertaken. Accounting for the Sun's influence has largely (if not completely) been addressed, but there lies a more difficult "elephant in the room" problem of determining what effect the gravitational curvature of the Milky Way has on any observations we can make.

According to the University of Oregon[1], the observable mass of the Milky Way is 200,000,000,000 Solar masses. The same material indicates that visible stars account for 30% of that. Throw in a bit for singularities and lets call it "less than 50%" for the sake of discussion. In any event, there exists enough mass in this galaxy to plausibly state that the space-time we inhabit is affected. Yet a non-trivial amount considered "unaccounted for."

Using the canonical 3d inverse-cone visualization of matter's effect on space-time, imagine our solar system exists on some point within the galaxy's gravitational cone yet not near its center. Making intra-galactic calculations may be influenced by compressed space-time instead of the presence of dark matter. And observations regarding other galaxies colliding (as mentioned in the article) migth be explained by gravitational phase shifting.

Though all of this likely will be rebuked, it is why I originally said "sure."

Base16 is probably what you want: https://github.com/chriskempson/base16

There is a related project called Base16-Builder: https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-builder

With Base16-Builder you can make a Yaml file of colours and it will build profiles for a zillion apps. It's pretty easy to hack to build other profiles as you just need to make an erb.

Base16 is organized in pretty much the same way as Solarized colours, so if you have gotten used to Solarized and just want to adjust the colours to something easier to see (I suffer from the same problem you do), then I think it is the way to go.

I hesitate to mention this because it isn't quite ready yet, but where I work we do a lot of remote pair programming over tmux. The problem is that everybody has their own idea of what colours look good. My buddy and I made a vim colorscheme that looks reasonable with many different palettes, called agnostic: https://github.com/ygt-mikekchar/agnostic

So if you ever need to pair program over tmux and one person wants a light background, but another person wants a dark backgroun, you can do it it. If you do that kind of thing a lot, then I recommend working with agnostic. Otherwise I think Base16 is probably the way to go.
