The big loser from this ruling is Mozilla. The Firefox search deal gives them a big chunk of their money and they are already financially not in great shape.

Without civil wars. Both experienced substantial street violence in the transition to democracy. And only Taiwan did it without US military forces in the country to influence the political process.

Nobody really knows what large scale combat between stealth fighters will look like, but that paradigm is completely valid for upgraded 4th gen planes.

Its hard to operate those weapons in the western pacific. Patriot launchers tend to sink in water.

Also F-35 was designed in the middle of the unipolar moment, when nobody really knew what future air combat would look like. Thus it was given the task of developing every technology in the kitchen sink (stealth! sensor fusion! VTOL! multir

At least with F-35 we are getting stealth fighters by the thousand for the western alliance at the end of all of it. Starliner has delivered only pain and sadness.

I don’t think this is really an emergency, the crew from starliner are all safely on the space station and can live there for a while with adequate supplies can’t they?

The concept of a drone with low RCS features is pretty sane by military tech standards, it would surprise me if they hadn’t been developing such a thing.

I hate with a burning passion having to manage packages myself. MATLAB comes preinstalled with everything and the kitchen sink.

I primarily use MATLAB and what stops me from using Julia is the package management. Also the VSCode extension has weird performance problems when trying to debug Julia code.

He basically described every rewards program ever. Before modern computers and data science that was the way businesses could get an idea of who wanted to buy what, and they give discounts if you sign up.

As long as population continues to increase, if you want the same living conditions as your parents on similar economic terms supply will need to increase.

Declining fertility happens to every country that industrializes. It’s a function of the pill. Not any of the other things people grouse about.

The two which I’ve read are concerning are using the ferromagnetic material in a sub to detect tiny variations in the magnetic field using supercooled sensors and just better computers and acoustic sensors to extract more signal from well b

SSBN stealth could be at risk by mid-century if current technologies continue to advance in surveillance and information processing. That would be enormously destabilizing from a grand strategic perspective but is still very much a future w

The claim seems to be that the microcode on the CPU is in certain circumstances requesting the wrong (presumably too high) voltage from the motherboard. If that is the case fixing the microcode will solve the issue going forward but won’t h

No matter who wins SpaceX will get plenty of govt business they are so far ahead of everyone else not only today but in the next decade. And that is completely ignoring the Starship shaped hammer about to break the cost curve for launching

Many investors have figured out that “letting Elon be Elon” has high expected value and are willing to ride the rollercoaster along the way I guess.

This is personal for him since his kid came out as trans a few years ago. That was when his political shift really started in earnest.

When the AI gets good enough to fly FPV drones with no datalink (which is sooner than you think) that will be the tipping point you are looking for.

Exactly. I’ve thought since ChatGPT first took the world by storm that the directional promises of AI were completely correct but the hardware isn’t at all there yet. The dot com bubble crashed yet the Internet is more important than ever t

I thought the main way of doing it today was exploiting the terrible HDCP spec to downgrade it to 1.4 which is irrecoverably broken, then rip it from that.

Mullvad and Proton at least have had their privacy claims tested by European courts, they really don't have much info on you. And conceptually it is obvious that a hosting provider could provide more information about a permanent activ

I was under the impression that for ordinary commercial stuff that won’t touch politics that Dubai at least was pretty tame? Or at least fairly low on the corruption index.

Wouldn’t seedboxes be far more dangerous? The provider absolutely can see what you are doing on the box and provide that to the authorities whereas a VPN provider that doesn’t log activity, well there’s no paper trail at least retroactively

Where does China’s unwillingness to launch east over the Pacific come from? Leftover Cold War paranoia of the Soviet Navy?

Corporate profits being taxed at a different rate than capital gains tax introduces some weird incentives to corporate investment decisions. But that isn’t saying it should be zero.

It didn't even get to the point this time where messenger apps threatened to leave. That was what ended up sinking the UK effort last year.

I did the math and even on current 13900k/14900k chips each E-core is roughly equivalent to a stock Skylake 6700k core.
