I guess a cultural willingness to complain could also have a feedback effect on the 'actual' happiness.

Of course there is a difference. And if you did some kind of scoring exercise you may be able to say that one entity is objectively worse than the other. But so what? That score does not justify the killing of innocent people by either s

Or this brings power and prestige to the country that hosts it. And it gives clout precisely because it is seemingly wasteful. Finding the energy is a problem for the civilian government who either go "drill baby drill" or thro

A lot of people will be using this data at work where BitTorrent is a non-starter.

So that is hardly a real solution at all. And many Israeli people clearly don't want to coexist either. But a peace process might give people a few years of peace. And peace is the best starting point we have for further peace.

The best way to teach history would be to make politicians dig slit trenches and then shell them for a few days. Anything less than that people will always end up regurgitating ethno nationalist bullshit or "geopolitics".

The US seems to be dominated by different right wing meme factions now. A choice between different strains of Maga all of whom would kill thousands in Gaza just to spite the left.

There isn't a real solution. Just an opportunity for a few years of peace where people can do the important things in life. That is no small thing though. The danger is in chasing some quixotic nationalist dream. That is never ever

But in that primitive power/confidence dynamics could a monarch be useful?

Ultimate power lies with people who can use violence. Its the military and police. Without continued compliance from those groups the status of politicians or royalty could become very tenuous. And we are specifically talking about an eme

British tradition does have more teeth though. For example whilst the Monarch may not use that power normally they still have it. With support of the Privy council the King absolutely could remove a malicious but democratic government. T

And that might work if there is a linear relationship between apparently unnecessary engineering work and deaths. My argument is that such a relationship does not exist, or is not something we can model. As this is HN I assume you have some

The challenge though is how to hit safety levels with a high level of accuracy. And we keep rediscovering how tough that can be. The space shuttle and 737 max are examples of that.

At least with Drax the combustion is managed by professionals, can have treatment to remove some emissions, and shoots the pollution high into the atmosphere. Its probably safer to live near Drax than a village full of recreational wood bu

And probably getting far more use of wood burners in areas like the Wasatch Front than Miami.

Maybe some kind of captcha like system could be devised that could be considered a security measure under the DMCA and not allowed to be circumvented. Make the same content available under a licence fee through an API.

And by just trying to reproduce something we are not offering any antidote to the issues incumbent with cloud systems. IMHO the best place to start is by offering something that can provide authentication/authorisation/ZeroTrust

Maybe part of a bailout should be IP release for free to American companies. And the same would be true about a bailout of Boeing (for example). Make it easier for other companies to compete and eventually reduce the risk.

Surely hardware has much more of an economic moat than software, services, and payment services. And the manufacturing of that is dominated by China and to a lesser extent Korea and Taiwan. All of whom have an interest in seeing hardware

It is possible that people knew that animals flew South for winter and just become unknowable. But then scholars tried to apply a new conceptual framework to that. Asking the question was a step forward, even if the hypothesised answer wa

Maybe large industrial or commercial units would be the ideal place for inprovised bases now.

Not sure if ever made a lot of sense to land harrier in an unprepared location though. Lots of risk of foreign object damage to the engines. And logistically more difficult for refueling/rearming. Much better to use it on short but

For many businesses the situation is that technology has dramatically underperformed in doing the most basic tasks. Millions of people are working around things like defective ERP systems. A modest improvement in productivity in building

I think bats can be particularly vulnerable to new development due to their commuting habits and slow rate of reproduction. Although, the engineering solution here does seem crazy. I am far more angry about the unnecessary tunnelling for

The bribes are looking much worse for overhead lines. Just giving people money (off their bill) for doing no work and making no real sacrifice. People will either be insulted by the low amount or insulted at the bribe. It will change no

If we could only deliver 1/12 relative to Switzerland it would still be a huge improvement on the current baseline.

I think they are offering $10 per user given that 3.45 billion is a widely reported user estimate.

Yeah agreed. And some of these products can be configured to be more specific in whitelisting users to particular service. But only if they are actually configured to do that.

I work at a corporate that uses FortiNet. Not just VPN but for AV and web filtering. It aggregates traffic together, increases the attack surface and makes us vulnerable to zero day attacks. All to protect sensitive data that is almost e
