  1. It makes sense to me that a place with slavery would be somewhat unpleasant to live in. And in US history more people willingly migrated to the North than the South, so the game as is makes some sense, but they have to fix that SOL spiral problem I talked about.

  2. I'd say just make migration attraction seperate for each IG. Or just an additional modifier each IG applies to a base migration attraction for a state. You could say the people with more liberal interests migrated out while those with reactionary interests stayed or moved in. A state with lots of farms and farmland would be more attractive to the Rural Folk. A state with slaves or peasants, landowners.

  3. Mods improve this. The Ultra Historical mods balance it so the stats of late game military is 50x+ that of the absolute lowest. With many mobilization options in between to slowly close that gap.

  4. That is pretty much what happened even between early ironclads - Ironclads were, after all, fighting with the same weapons that man o'wars or ships of the line were fighting with, their armour was the main innovation. In the early days this noticeably led to ironclads attempting to ram eachother due to mutual inability to penetrate eachother's armour.

  5. Yep, everyone made armor enough to deflect man'o'wars, but no one made weapons to penetrate ironclads because no one else had them initially. Then they did and now it was a problem.

  6. Just curious, are they actually air tools or does it just pull back a hammer that hits the nail? I know it says airstrike but it is battery powered

  7. You kinda hit the nail on the head with both of those. It electrically drives a piston which compresses a chamber of air that then releases into the nail. It's an on demand compressor enough for a nail.

  8. I get how RPCS3 performance is great because it uses AVX512 that intel has disabled. But the Switch emulator specifically states it depends on single threaded performance, yet the 7800X3D comes out on top. I guess Passmark isn't really indicative of anything.

  9. Emulators say they depend on single thread performance because getting a larger cache CPU wasn't really an option until recently. Not to mention any CPU with higher single thread performance, probably also has more cache with it.

  10. I liberalized immediately with all laws on as egalitarian as possible, without colonization. I'm struggling a little now but I'm afraid it's too late for colonization now. Thanks for the suggestion though haha, it'll probably be a non-mc game

  11. Shouldn't your migration attraction be pretty high then? Can't you buff that more and get pops that way?

  12. It should be pretty high, but I'm a horrible player lmao. I have Cultural Exclusion, Migration Controls, and the highest attraction non-UK in Europe, but I'm getting very little for some reason, hopefully will figure it out soon

  13. Migration only happens between states in the same market. So try and get poor places with pops you don't discriminate into your market and you should get an influx.

  14. People certainly say it, I've seen it said too. But they just don't know. llamas are okay for small predators, like foxes. If coyotes aren't persistent, because they have plenty of natural food sources, then they might work for them too, but no one with serious experience would use llamas as guardian animals in wolf territory. Wolves in the US mainly eat Elk and they're nearly as big as a horse.

  15. Eh, lots of predators kill more than their own weight. It comes with the advantage of the ambush strategy most take. Killing an Elk isn't that hard when you take it by surprise. And that's also the point. Surprised animals don't fight back very well. The chance of injury is minor for a predator.

  16. LLamas are 100% used as guard animals (at least, against smaller predators?) and I am pretty sure they will actually attack predators.

  17. Yeah, while most predators, and especially wolves, can kill large animals, its usually as a matter of opportunity. An alert and aggressive large animal is usually not worth the threat of death for a single meal. Most predators realize that. Usually those cases where they get highly aggressive are when their children are involved, not hunting but defending. It's why they ambush and wound rather than announce and charge.

  18. You sure the colonization function isn't being affected by the addition of new buildings and pops? You sure the function isn't evaluating whether it should build new buildings every single tick, and having to run through a profit analysis of every single building before doing so? This still isn't proper at all, but it can still be caused by your mod changes.

  19. Yep, this is my run. Loving it. Already know where I screwed up a couple places and can do it better. But now a zulu run sounds interesting.

  20. Care to explain how it would to the ‘destruction of the attackers’? Seems made up. Also no mention of the ETH network being more secure as it would cost more to attack

  21. For one, the network can always fork to a completely new algorithm. Many have been experimented with and perform as good as Bitcoins. It's an easy replace that would completely make useless all existing miner hardware for the coin, except any coin that shares mining algorithms with bitcoin.

  22. To be fair I think part of why some people might be getting this wrong is that the idea of his briefcase changing sizes sounds somewhat nonsensical for modern business or governmental employees whereas in 1999 that would still likely have been the primary way information like that was transferred from place to place.

  23. Almost as if people forgot paper existed and cyber security completely non-existent. The effective equivalent of a gate with no fence. Extremely important and critical information was kept on paper and never into a computer except a very secured one. It certainly was rarely transferred over a network. Especially governments who were rightfully paranoid of it and just slow adjusting in the first place.

  24. Always how it goes. Same thing with the market. Everything responds to everything else, considering mostly everyone involved is a human who can analyze and react to it. It's an entirely dynamic system where the only main driver that causes changes is information asymmetry or sheer lack of it.

  25. I thought about this for a while, and I really like it: more concentrated industry and less local production = more revenue for traders and the transportation industry.

  26. Keystone jacks are ethernet connectors. Don't terminate solid core onto a plug.

  27. You can terminate solid on a plug. You just need the right plugs. Not all have the proper teeth to handle solid. You want V shaped or triple teeth, V'd prongs on the heads. Otherwise the kinds made for just stranded cable deflects off the solid core. Not always though, but it's inconsistent enough to be an issue.

  28. Its physically possible. I suggest its not best practice. I imagine you'd have seen the results of plugging and unplugging solid core repeatedly.

  29. 100%. Cameras are the only places I've done it and would ever do it. Mainly outdoor cameras and outdoor cable. And still with a preference of biscuit and patch cord anywhere possible.

  30. Thanks, thats what the seller told me. I edited my main comment to include that :

  31. There are so many 42U racks out there that there are just crazy deals to be had. Supply and demand, and there's a lot of supply

  32. And no demand. Almost no one is buying 42u's and the ones that are buy them in massive bulk orders. Devices on-site are increasingly shrinking, if not disappearing all together in the rack except for networking. Which fits in a much shorter depth rack.

  33. 42u racks regularly go for free. No one really wants them quickly enough to sell it for anything. Everything on site is generally downsizing. Most places only have 2 posts. Shorter racks are in higher demand due to the home lab user market and can actually command a price. 42us are a chunk of money just to dump and take up tons of space.

  34. I agree with the sentiment but cutting cost that much on a bridge is kinda scary…

  35. That kind of thinking is also what causes super inflated budgets on these things though. People operating more on what they "feel" it should cost, rather than what it actually will cost. And construction companies take heavy advantage of that. Among the lobbying and schmoozing they do.

  36. Yeah I wouldn't expect it to be much of a problem with the current equipment, fans could be a good idea just to circulate the air behind a little more.

  37. It seems like it would be super easy to install top fans in the back of that closet. That'd provide more than enough airflow for most network rack sized things. As long as he isn't installing a full depth server.

  38. Yeah, just say no and start saying "money" a lot. There's lot of solutions. All of them cost a ton of money to manage 1 million users. All of them cost a good chunk just to be scalable to that.

  39. So he's a POS who can't function in society and would have ended up in prison if not for the protection of the military and the police, got it

  40. Well yeah, high school bullies or losers who were bullied in high school and rather than make something of themselves, decided to bully others as a job. Continuing and perpetuating the cycle of hate

  41. He’s contradicting himself saying the cop did nothing wrong at all and didn’t break the law and did not commit any crime at all then ytf did he get fired if that’s the case ??? Makes no sense and sounds like damage control to me

  42. You don't need to break the law to get fired from any job.

  43. But it's not, it's a full fledged programming language that is primarily used for advanced scripting, but that doesn't make it a scripting language. It can be compiled into very quick and reliable code.

  44. there's plenty of server rental services operating in countries that are hard to get police warrants for that cater to criminal's needs. Privacy focused companies taking payments in crypto and operating out of countries unlikely to cooperate with a given nation's authorities. I doubt a Russian company would give two shits about a Mexican police warrant to sieze the server.

  45. The worst thing a human can do is imbue sentience onto something that didn’t ask for it

  46. This isn’t true in regard to the specific dangers that Signal could face. A government entity could technically force AWS to do all sorts of things. I believe Signal is mostly safe from any sort of local attacks because of the application design, but it’s still possible and it’s certainly more possible and easier with virtual infrastructure when you don’t control the hardware.

  47. Yes people downvoting me imply that Amazon is invincible from a warrant. From what I know - every virtualization technology, including encrypted ones, can be decrypted by the machine running them with enough patience and effort. Not that hackers are going to hack AWS, but to say that the government doesn’t have a back door in AWS or couldn’t get a warrant to search a virtual service is probably a little naive in my opinion. This can be somewhat negated by running the software in ram on a collocated server.

  48. Signal uses AES-256 as part of it's end-to-end encryption. That is considered unbreakable except by a perfectly energy efficient computer (by Landauer's principle), the size of the universe, and about 1040 years (give or take a couple magnitudes) to crack a single AES-256 key. It takes a 6,681 qubit quantum computer 2.29*1032 years to break it.

  49. Signal is End-to-End encrypted. There is no method in which any middleman attacker should be able to read your data. Control of Signal servers or not. They do not decrypt your data at any point in the path, they send it to the end device which decrypts it locally, after it was encrypted by you locally.

  50. A basic wiremap/continuity tester would have told you it's open and the length. Or lack thereof. You don't need both sides for a tester to work. It can tell you it's currently connected to something ethernet on the far-end without needing a far-end remote.

  51. Yes. Those are awesome, on the rare chance you company will spring for one.

  52. You don't need a qualifier or a certifier, the expensive ones, you just need a tester. The Klein's Scout Pro 3 is $90. There's many that are cheaper and still provide capacitive length. Noyafa NF-308 does so for $30, and works "fine", because the kind of stuff a basic tester does is hardly complex. Again, this sort of troubleshooting doesn't need a qualifier or certifier, just a tester. Big differences between all of those.

  53. The least they could do would be to make the lines straight and set it level in the grout.

  54. These are scientists testing it to work at all. It's a science journal publication. This is a science news article. None of this is commercialized yet. It's not meant to sell anything to you. It's meant to announce and inform about it. Not show off vanity. There's no company yet to sell you it, at all.

  55. It's not though and it's obvious you've read nothing of the article. There's a huge difference between a bunch of white painted tiles or roofs and what these ceramics are. The entire article you linked is just about random roofs that have reflectivity more than nothing.
