Balance trade? Trade isn't a single ledger that needs to be in balance. If you read that article about Haas automation, they say that they import cast iron and PCBs, presumably they import some chips and use some domestic chips, they

Whatever your hopes and dreams around domestic manufacturing, blanket tariffs capriciously imposed at random are unlikely to get any dream closer to reality, except perhaps the dream of total devastation of all manufacturing. Let's loo

Oracle is in the small family of companies that have a business model of "you give us money and we solve _all_ your problems." So it's likely that, for a specific task, the oracle solution is crap, but oracle has crap for ev

The first Wizardry[1] was built on the P system. My dad spent a small fortune buying an IBM PC with 544k of memory and an external Davong hard drive that emulated an enormous floppy drive. He also put UCSD P system on this beast, along wit

ssh and rsh used to cause you to rsh/ssh to the name of the file... so I had, in my home directory ~me/bin/snoopy and if I wanted to log into snoopy, I'd just type $ snoopy and it'd rsh me into snoopy. Hilarity was

You may in fact decide to explicitly never monetize it, which is a perfectly reasonable decision. You may also find that there are ways of setting the thing up so that you aren't paid (at least not right now if it's not conven

I'm suggesting that starting a project like this should involve consulting with an attorney and possibly an accountant. It is important, generically, to be friends or at least have a relationship of some sort, with an attorney. This i

This seems like a really cool project. Some observations... First I'd get some legal advice for how to convert this idea / product into a thing that you own and have a stake in, but that's distinct from you. This means you&#

Haas automation started in the early 1980s and was primarily successful because it leveraged the (new at the time) microprocessors to drive machine tools. I was there in the early 1990s, right when this silly article said that machine tool

This is weird. There was a huge disruption to lots of industries between the 1950s and the 1990s. Lots of established machine tool companies (bridgeport and such) didn't modernize and went out of business or otherwise shrank. But at t

Are these people in your realm being picked up off the street by the police, drugged, put into an airplane, and then being dropped into the ocean over international waters? Or are these people having the things they've said repeated wi

I think you're missing the basic distinction between private parties and government. Private parties (including companies) largely have freedom of association. There are (theoretically) protections in "commerce" against a co

Unix predates DNS; the nsswitch.conf tells the c libraries how to convert names to IP addresses. This behavior is actually dependent on which libc you're using... To resolve names, you can ask /etc/hosts for the name /

It's almost like how many hours a week a person can work on a thing depends on their ownership of the thing, their domestic situation, and their financial state.

My point is that Putin wants to live; he's unlikely to survive Moscow getting glassed, regardless of who does the glassing. So he's unlikely to convert all of Ukraine to a moonscape. And anything _less_ than glassing Ukraine is u

Horseshit. Making sure every country on earth has nukes is way more likely to cause nukes to be used than beating the russian army out of Ukraine. First -- Do his nukes even work? Or have they been replaced with cardboard "Nuke Go Her

Well, we're going to find out, soon, what it's like to have Germany with nukes, with Sweden with nukes, with Finalnd with nukes, with Poland with nukes. If you're the PM of Estonia, the only thing keeping you safe is either a

I'm not sure if "unilateral disarmament" is "peace". Russia's got a long history of mulching their subjects, I'm pretty sure "peace" is the peace of the grave, for many souls currently living in

Hilariously lots of "logging" (lucene based) tools explicitly require storing JSON docs and fall over if the schema's not quite right[1]. I regularly deal with situations where devs "log" by sending "json"

I'm certainly worried about the health of those people in the bigger part of the airplane. If the people in the cockpit are incapacitated, though, it's a problem for everyone on the plane. The oil has nasty stuff that kills the p

Not cooked -- poisoned. As far as I understand, the people in the cabin or the cockpit will breath the oil that's now been aerosolized -- in the cockpit it's really hazardous because it's such a small air volume. The oil&#x

Money at this point has value because we all agree it has value. You walk into a store, pick up a box of eggs, bonk your rock on another rock, the other rock makes a happy beep or turns green, and you walk out. There's no scarcity or d

Money is only trusted if everyone agrees that "a number in a ledger" is money. Ultimately, wealth, beyond what you physically control, is only real if everyone else agrees that it's real. Otherwise you're just tapping a

Whatever was broken in 2008 (and a lot was broken in 2008) regarding how people win or lose in the markets, it's nothing compared to if the markets are simply no longer actually following accounting rules. https://www.newsbr

This whole thing puzzles me. These dingos are wealthy because they've got money in banks and stocks in brokerages. If the US dollar is managed like the 1980s iraqi dinar, and the stock market is regulated as strictly as the 1980s baghd
