I'm sorry but famine help is a good thing, not saving millions of people because it might potentially overthrow a government 'somehow' isn't a great plan. One can argue FDR later embrace of Soviets was way to early and a

You can be technically 'right' by some definition and an intervention still not being a good thing. The Southern regime was incredibly corrupt and dominated by land owners. Look at the Philippines for an example of what happens to

I bet most people associate IPhones more with the US then China.

Of course but that isn't part of government to government cooperation. I'm not saying no supply chains reach to other countries.

Except its not actually obvious. The US achieved most when they worked mostly by themselves. And the recent explosion in US activity, specially SpaceX is also highly separated from Europe. There is a very credible argument to be made that e

Yeah the world piece like all the wars in the middle east, Vietnam, proxy conflicts all over the world and so on and so on. I'm not blaming the US for all of these wars but they also didn't prevent them. And the US did overthrow m

What nonsense, most Europeans who are not politically super active might watch some US movies and consume things from the US like IPhones, but that doesn't mean obsessed. Most people are just mildly amused by US politics. You have seri

Just because you invest in it doesn't mean you end up with hugely cheap and scalable launch. Europe has already invested far more in rocket then SpaceX did and isn't close. If your capital efficiency is far lower, it might not be

I can't find the library that I was referring to, yes Datascript is what they used to build it on. I just now using Datahike in a hobby project, but I don't think incremental queries are relevant for me in that case.

Controversial opinion I know but we should design things that can kill potentially 100s of people in the same way as consumers electronics.

Electric engines well known for requiring repair, unlikely jet engines who are known for being easy to maintain.

Wow cool, commenting so I remember. There was a team that did something like this, I saw a talk about it once. But I think they did in JS with Datomic in browser that somebody wrote. I might update this comment later with the relevant links

The point with RISC-V is that you can first pick the architecture and then have many potential providers and you are sure to never be stuck with one provider. Its not the cost that is the major change, its the business model. Granted ARM po

Its funny because Bryan has spend a good part of the last decades walking around and telling people that they should have VM layer. And this criticism can credibly made against his company. Interestingly he has mentioned that in the podcast

Can you give me source on that Intel story, I haven't heard of that. Intel generally reject anybody trying to do their own thing. Sun also wanted to work with them SPARC. Acorn eventually worked with VSLI Technologies, and that seems s

They couldn't compete because the company was horrible run. They basically relied on chips designs from the early 1980s until 1992. They did almost nothing to improve the product line while their CEO earn a huge amount. They fired the

They want to push the 'all electric range' angle, but the people who buy it know what it can do.

I think it was the case where the second chip was done by the HP team?

Jupiter was just a PDP-10, I don't think killing Jupiter was bad. The VAX was insanely successful and adopted by a large amount of people. And Jupiter was a very expensive project and it basically failed to do what it wanted to do and

I really liked the PA-RISC design sad they didn't try to compete and became Intel Partner.

You over focus on Hong Kong. Lots of stuff was in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia. Many things had supply chains over many places.

Can you link me to a rack you can buy from them, I couldn't find any. Are they it conventional servers? What's the software base?

Thanks for the Source, Brain.

You prevent speeding by structuring the road environment so to make speeding less. Comfortable, you narrow roads, you impact the visual field, you have speed bumps, raised cross walks, automatic cameras that hand out tickets when you speed,

It depends on the OS, some OS have some way to do IO that gets around that. iouring or things like that. I don't know how Hurd does IO. Most microkernals have methods to do IO in a different way. If they don't then likely they wou

Yes, you want to do more IPC, its basically linear with the increase in performance. So the amount of overhead stays the same basically. At least in IPC benchmarks and those tend to be important. Making that fast is fundamental to any OS.

Capex for countries isn't really that big of a problem. You can raise lots of capital for long term, a proper investment should increase land values (or property values). Generally societies that invest a lot of capex in high capacity
