Very cool & pretty, but I feel a little let down. There is a huge leap from the basics of 3d plotting & spheres to the crazy pattern you tease and then show at the end. I understand it as someone who kind of knows this stuff already

Yeah, but a nation state server farm can probably cut that down to minutes because their budget can buy a lot of processors. You only need a few hundred to really shrink it down to manageable numbers. And it turns out that nation starts are

Yes but it's a question of finding targets. Why was Ukraine able to decimate the Russian Air Force? Partly because they are all based out of big, well known bases. Even in wartime they have to be in a big base. A jet like the Gripen ca

Because then the bigtechs will buy them all and everyone else gets nothing.

Very fun. My only suggestion would be a small highlight when you submit your fish so you can easily see which fish is yours - at least for a few seconds.

Thats not what other people's kingdoms means. Basically all non-trivial apps are already built on VPSs. The other people's kingdoms refers to how people interact with your app. Take Zynga - they were not literally running on FB se

Or you spend 6 months + 1 day in your 0 tax state (possibly with some creative accounting) and the rest in high income tax state.

Cool site. Would be interesting to add a time dimension to track prices over time

It would be an interesting napkin problem to do. Yes it's relatively trivial, but multiply it by 1B smartphones running for many hours every day and how many cities worth of power are you wasting on extraneous shader cycles?

They owe way too much. The article actually touches on this - they have such little hope of paying back their debt that they are leaning into this so that they can get better renegotiation terms with bond holders

Quick google found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_(song) Never listened to this song though.

Also the practicality of this is that most of the UN funding will come from the US. When a situation like this where US is cutting funding arises you get the same problem. Almost all finding will dry up overnight and they won't have su

If you can get a discussion going with the maintainer, which is not a guarantee (cant speak to libre maintainers, but I know other projects like this), then you have to convince them that your change is both valuable and reasonable for them

Because why wouldn't they? Web crawlers are cheap (relatively). More data is good. No one is manually adding or reviewing sites, they just hoover up the whole Internet.

This sounds like how PMS sometimes tout the number of tickets per sprint. It's not a relevant metric, and it's easily gamed How many of those prs were small fixes? How many went to low used services, or services only used internal

For continuous you need to either go for a polar orbit or go very far in space. Most launch centers & providers are not well situation for polar orbits because its not a common use case, so you need to sacrifice launch mass. The same go

Tech workers tend to get paid very well. That limits incentivization for unionization. Also there is a stigma that unions tend to be for the middle of the road workers with modest salaries. All the senior leaders with big salaries are not u

Isn't that true for basically everything though? I'm not familiar with what other encrypted messaging systems security agencies use, but either (1) they store ciphertexts that can in theory be attacked later or (2) they delete the

They inadvertently sent the data to google via google analytics on their pages; they did not sell the data to google. I wonder if they will get slapped with HIPPA violations in the current environment.

IANAL, but my understanding is that you are incorrect. EULAs can be written such that there are irrevocable privacy rights even in the event of corporate actions. I think 23 & me is going through something like that now.

A fun side project I guess, but I would never trust this for anything. Why would I use this instead of an actual password manager that has password sharing functionality? That also would not save a pw in chat history and has the added benef

Isn't this also true for USA though? The US's fertility rate is only a bit higher than China's and also has an aging workforce. Plus, even if China has a lower birth rate, their sheer numbers will mean their workforce will re

Called the number, catchy 90s style jingle at the start and then immediately says "We're way too busy right now, please call back later" Lol, guess I should have expected that.
