Arguing for defunding science is about as asinine a mindset as one can possess. I doubt he has any figures to back that up. The article cited shows how the self-policing nature of science is improving.
Honestly, i'm tired of Hearing this. I am a Scientist and i work in science. On HN i feel a breeze of Anti-science sentiments which are only dwarfed by the Anti-Vax Community. I Don't Like my Profession being called a fraud, i also do not call a programmer, a Typewriter Monkies.
No, the first technique describes the basic way they already operate, DMA, but giving access to userspace directly because it's a zerocopy buffer. This is handled by the OS.
RDMA is directly from bus-to-bus, bypassing all the software.
I'd imagine it's hyperbole. A tbsp is likely enough to just snort and not have (too many) issues. People do drown in surprisingly shallow waters, however.
It’s not hyperbole. It requires prior incapacitation, but if you’re unconscious then even a tiny amount of water can kill you.
Similarly, intoxication vastly degrades the instincts that would otherwise keep you alive. I will never understand how people think getting drunk is _fun_.
Re: intoxication, I don’t really like drinking either, but I can kindof understand the appeal. It makes me overthink everything less, so I can be more unfiltered. That can be fun, especially for dancing/stuff like that — if you feel self-conscious while dancing I’d recommend trying a couple drinks first. But I’m not a perfect person, and usually I want some filter, I rarely drink
The same thing happened to me, I nearly drowned when I performed poorly on a single wave, and the repeating nature of them kept me under the water for so long I thought I was going to die. I went up to the nearest lifeguard, about 10 feet laterally and 20 feet above the pool, and went "what the fuck?" They were confused. Probably will never go in one again.
Haha, thanks. People have a myopic view and think that "American made" automatically equates to sales. I have a friend that makes in the US toys, but the markup is over 200% more of something similar that you'd find in the store; they're entirely custom. These are sold exclusively in the US. Tons of complaints on price too and how they aren't cheap enough. Best part, she can't even pay her bills with what she does sell. Every single person peddling this narrative will never put their money where their mouth is. It will result in massive loses and stagnation of innovation in the industry.
What special quality do "western" countries have that makes it a moral obligation to purchase from them over others? Why is it a moral good to keep value from the others?
> Purchasing products made under autocratic regimes strengthens those regimes and gives them more power on the world stage.
you wouldnt be able to export anything if other people took this stance, so how would anyone make any money?
The West lives under semi-democracy (partial oligarchy) and exports autocracy.[1] It’s fine for us to prefer to live here (I do; well it’s what I know) but we can’t claim the moral highground (not that anyone in this thread has done that necessarily).
[1]: Why are these countries “autocracies”? To better resist foreign intervention.
It's not about that; Taiwan is West-aligned anyway. It's for maintaining some level of self-reliance. Also, basic economics says that trade helps the country's overall economy, but that ignores how it's not applied equally. US manufacturing towns have been hollowed out over the years.
It's funny that they call it planning for the unplannable when the NWS have given extremely specific instructions on what to do in all sorts of inclement situations. This passage was just baffling.
