The closer to the equator, the better. Also ideally you have several hundred miles of open ocean eastward for crashes/retrievals/landings/etc. That doesn’t leave a ton of options in the continental US - Florida and southern T

I’m assuming that sanctions like these are intended to bite over the long term. The real test for China (and U.S. foreign policy) will be in 30 or 40 years - are they competitive with Western technology in 2065? Or will they stay stuck in t

The article is exploring the idea of moving away from large, multi-year, multi-billion platforms (like aircraft carriers). And it is doing so from the lens of most-effective warfighting capabilities, not from a budget reduction mindset.

We homeschool our four children, are religious, most of our friends homeschool, and this is nonsense. We love the schedule flexibility of homeschooling, the ability to let our kids explore their own interests more, and most of all - we just

I’m not familiar with the Ancient Greek objections here, but I remember Renaissance scientists being hung up on this same thing. They had measured the visible diameter of stars and without any parallax, would’ve also meant that the stars we

“Militarily crippled” makes it sound like the US campaign was getting easier. It was not. Military casualties were getting higher every single fight. Civilian casualties were jaw dropping. Japanese civilians were committing mass suicide or

I believe so - most (all?) string functions have an mb_ equivalent, for working on multibyte strings. Regular PHP strings are actually pretty great, since you can treat them like byte arrays. Fun fact: PHPs streaming API has an “in-memory”

I’ve got four kids (ages 2 - 10) so I’m likely prime target demographic for Disney. Didn’t take my kids to see any of these, haven’t streamed them. Before 2020 we probably saw every Disney and Pixar animation movie since 2012 with our kids.

There’s a list of people I won’t work with alright- a list of people who throw down sweeping ultimatums and try to control others behavior and speech through fear. No thank you.

If you want the real-politick answer then “yeah, absolutely”. What’s your point? But the U.S empire has been pretty amazing for a pretty amazing number of people across the globe, and it is shockingly easy to stay on the good side of U.S. f

“Mono world order” is a fun euphemism for “boo hoo we’re not allowed to run around the planet conquering other people”. You’re free to “divest” as you put it… But you’re still expected to behave & play nicely with your neighbors.

If this is the best message that anti-royalists can offer up, then the monarchy will undoubtedly endure another millennia.

I’ll happily read an HN debate on the monarchy all day long. But I don’t see Dang censoring a robust, thoughtful discussion of abolishing the monarchy here. He shut down a cheap, childish comment that was followed by an even cheaper, vulgar

Great list, and TLDR, there’s no silver bullet. You need to engage across the whole platform. I would only disagree about avoiding right-sizing, though. I made some instance-type adjustments on our batch compute platform thar saved millions
