France is part of NATO. They backed out of the integrated command structure in the 60's (but still remained an treaty member) and rejoined in 2009. I think they still reserve the right to not put their nuclear arsenal under allied comm

I think the question is how does that escalate. If Putin is just taunting NATO with a few tanks crossing the border, and artillery takes out the tanks, that might be the end of it. But at want point does a broader escalation turn into a tot

Depends upon the default rate. It might still make sense even accounting for the losses. Especially if the upfront fees cover the marginal manufacturing costs.

What we need is better support "native hybrid" apps. For example, you can create "app" that is just a link to browser. There are plenty of action you don't want random web-apps to perform due to security/sandbo

Even in non-ML software engineering you still have architectural tradeoffs, that while you can in part make reasoned arguments about, you still are relying on the intuition of your technical leadership.

If your data is small enough, then sure, any number of well tested data platforms will work for you. The problem something like timescale tries to solve is dealing with "high cardinality." When you have many unique values the inde

We are so weird about this. We already have national "identifier" - the social security number. Pretty much everyone must use it because of both social security and taxes, but also due to private use cases. We should just admit th

This isn't relevant to the question you raise - but as an accounting matter - plenty of "keep the lights on" type engineering work is almost certainly identified as R&D in those figures. I suspect there is much smaller am

I suspect there is something about the social dynamics of a small community vs. a widely used public network. Social network platforms (used loosely) have had this issue for a long time - consider "eternal september" and usenet. R

Hoover was a dominant brand in the US, but never fully generalized. So when you say hoover, many people in the US (especially when used in context, like "I need to hoover the carpet") will probably get what you are saying. My wife

You are missing a third category: argument. That is to say a series of deductions starting from facts and sometimes values. The values might be opinions, but often attempts are made to use widely held opinions such that agreement can be ass

There are two parts to this 1) willingness to challenge the status quo 2) intellectual humility enough to seek to understand why the status quo exists. There is some conflation of these two concepts in the comment threads.

This is one of the things I love about open source software. When I want or need to, I can attempt to modify something to better suit the behavior I want. Some fraction of the time it ends up being too much effort, or I learn that my idea d

That is one my my complaints. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't also ensure competitive markets. But it isn't so much that the regulation is designed to protect the incumbent, it is: - the volume of regulations requires a c

So there are two levels of tradeoffs: 1) The requirements themselves. These are different for consumer vs employee type scenarios. So general, I'd prefer we err on the side of DRM free for things like media, but there are legitimate co

I read about some schools that offer hybrid physics+calculus classes for exactly that reason. Why even bother to separate the subjects. Other schools have experimented with this like project based learning - build a robot or whatever - and
