They're not a conditional construct. They are by definition universal. When something is a human right, we consider it to be an inalienable right that no party has a right to violate.

And 'social contract' is double speak. It's an attempt to misappropriate the concept of a contract to confer moral legitimacy to majority dictates.
Landing, there is hardly any disturbed air behind the engines. While modern engines don't produce all that much smoke they do produce lots of heat when running at full power, leaving a tell-tale trail of visibly disturbed air and exhaust gases behind them. No such trail is visible here so the engines are at a low power setting (idle or close to it).
Mesh nodes or landing guidance devices for drones is my estimated guess.
People get flipped by the front brake because it is more powerful, they are not used to the stopping power. You have to brace against the handlebars.

It is more powerful because as the bike rocks forward the wheel is pushed into the ground and has more friction with the surface. The rear brake will loose grip under braking because it rises up from the ground. Aggressive braking in the rear is more dangerous because the wheel can lock up and skid, which can send you over the handlebars. The back brake tends to be setup to be more relaxed to stop people doing this. Maybe that is why people think it is safer.

With a bit of practice you can get much better braking force from a front brake. Try it out on some grass, and see how far you take it before the back wheel starts to rise. You will find that you can stop much faster, which will make you safer. Just try it and see.
I have a question for those that require multiple monitors.

I wonder if the difference was that airlines took "thinking on the margin" to an extreme?

They all know that the cost of filling one more seat is practically zero, so even if that flyer is only paying $50, it's a win. This leads to variable pricing which leads to price shopping which leads to price competition, which has absolutely slaughtered airlines, especially with price aggregators.

For what a profitable airline business looks like, look at Southwest and what they do. They have variable pricing, but its predictable based on only a few factors, and they don't allow listing in aggregators. Filling seats is important, but they keep an eye on the big picture.

Cereal, on the other hand, has some non-zero incremental cost that, while small, can't be ignored. You can still think on the margin, but cannot ignore the overall economics.

I mean it's been the primary campaign issue in 2010, 2012, 2014, and the non-presidential 2016 races. Not repealing Obamacare would be a political catastrophe for them. If you haven't noticed, it's also the very first item on the docket of the new legislature too. It's very, very important to them.
I'm impressed that this question is so difficult. I presumed that, for an aviation expert, a quick glance at any photo of a similarly situated aircraft was enough to make a determination.

TIL.
Perhaps this should not be a surprising takeaway.

I hear the same arguments all the time about protecting people from themselves. The argument typically goes "well it doesn't just affect you; your decisions could impact people who depend on you, so we'll add a 'protection' that may prevent you from harming yourself and your dependents." If it is acknowledged that it is indeed the decisions of the actor which affects his dependents, not the dangers of the world that may tempt the actor, and you want to protect his family from his own ineptitude through government force, then it sounds like you would have to make it illegal for that actor to make mistakes/get conned.

But of course, the whole 'protect people from themselves' argument is flawed long before that point, because it assumes that the government can and should try to create a world without risk. This is clearly impossible and subjective, and for the government to even come close, it would have to become so oppressive as to reduce freedoms to nothing. The same exact logic is used for keeping marijuana illegal, which I would speculate many of the dissidents on this thread do not support.

So in our current system, for example, we have rich people who get to use hedge funds (of which some very very low percentage turn out to be a Bernie Madoff-type of a scheme) and poor people who are protected from themselves and get to enjoy the Fed's ultra-low interest rates as inflation eats away at their savings. Clearly not a very good solution.

Maybe a better system would allow all people to use hedge funds, and instead we could focus on preventing/prosecuting fraud.
Unrelated to PowerShell, that sounds like information wasn't making it to the right people if the limit - 2 administrative connections were being used like that for regular terminal services access, or like it would have made sense to split services across more systems if you had multiple people routinely doing simultaneous system changes on single servers.

Adding further to the comedy of the switch, airlines in the US are now very profitable and doing tremendous thanks to a reduction in competition / consolidation. In the history of US aviation, airlines have never been so profitable as they are right now.

Munger was wrong because he left out critical qualifiers. A 'pure' commodity can be wildly profitable, if you have a restriction on competition - a cartel or otherwise - that prevents a race to the bottom on price. You don't necessarily have to shift the ratio to the extreme either, there's a line where if you lower the competition beneath that, the profitability becomes significant while still retaining a modest amount of competition. Munger should have known better than to say that, oil is the most obvious demonstration, but there are countless others. Airlines today are nicely profitable for exactly the same reason AT&T and Verizon can still print large profits in a commodity wireless business (even with T-Mobile doing a great job chomping at their heels).

I didn't say there are no data visualization libraries for native development. What I said is there is no equivalent to D3.js. I recommend taking a look at D3. It is not a charting library. There are charting libraries built on top of D3, but D3 is not your average charting package like MS chart control.
A consideration not listed on the OP is that Air Force pilots are required to conduct partial-flap landings on a continuing basis to maintain qualification. This could explain why the flaps do not appear to be in landing configuration. Normally, this training is conducted in the simulator, but if the president is not onboard and and the aircraft is inbound for maintenance at Boeing Field this would be plausible.

Partial flap landing distance is dependent on the aircraft, but 4,000+ feet as the position suggests would be very reasonable. The pilot could have also intentionally landed long to expedite taxi to parking.

All that said I still have no idea if the aircraft is arriving or departing.
Show me a programming language that lets you manipulate raw pointers while providing the same safety guarantees as safe Rust code (i.e. have your cake and eat it too) and I'll accept this as a valid criticism of Rust. Until then, I"m going to keep thinking that Rust provides a reasonable, practical compromise.

For about a year, I've been regularly using Rust to write real software that I actually use, and I've never had to write unsafe code. I'm trusting other people to do it, which is never not the case, no matter what programming language I'm using.
Chains might not be what they used to be but the multi-geared sprockets with tight tolerances definitely aren't. It's cheaper to change the chains sooner than to wait until they wear out your sprockets badly enough that you can't fit a new chain on it and need to change both.

2 years of life out of chains sounds reasonable to me if you drive a lot. Exposure to dirt, salt (from de-icing), moisture, etc can shorten the life of your chains. Keeping them clean and well oiled will make them last longer. And using quality chains in the first place, your bike might have come with cheapo chains.
More clickbait bullshit from the Washington Post.

Took a study about MIT graduates: some stayed doing research after graduation and others went into finance. So yes not all MIT graduates go into finance. Misleading and inaccurate study of MIT students and what finance is and whatever "really smart" might mean.

Article says zero about job(s) that smart people avoid.

Whatever smart people are doing they are not at the Washington Post. But their boss Jeffy Bezos is a Wall St guy, and smart. His strategy of turning the WashPo into the HuffPo Insider but with a better rolodex and even less ethics seems to be going solid from a biz standpoint.
> Why is everything not just entangled with everything else up and up the chain until the entire universe is in superposition?

It is.

I'm going hazard a guess that your next question is going to be: why do I not perceive myself to be in a superposition of states? And the answer is that you are not what you think you are. You think you are a human being, a classical physical object made of atoms, but you aren't. This is a very good approximation to the truth, but it is not the truth. The truth is that you (the thing engaged in this conversation) are a software process running on a human brain. You are a classical computing process, i.e. a process that can be emulated by a classical computing model like a Turing machine. The reason for this is that the kinds of things you do necessarily involves copying information (e.g. the process of reading this comment involves copying information from your computer into your brain) and quantum information cannot be copied. Only classical information can be copied. Your conscious awareness of the existence of physical processes is an emergent phenomenon of accumulating memories, i.e. copying information. Because of this you cannot become consciously aware of your quantum nature, and because of that you cannot demonstrate the quantum nature of any system (to yourself) unless it is isolated from you. You could in principle demonstrate the quantum nature of the rest of the universe if you could somehow isolate yourself from it, but that presents insurmountable practical difficulties.

> The problem of where the quantum world ends and the classical world begins is still unanswered.

Because the question tacitly makes the false assumption that there is a hard boundary between the two. There isn't.
It depends; finding work is usually the biggest problem, but it's easier when you work in tech than in other fields. I know several people who done the same but work remotely
I use dual 27" 4K monitors, which I think is the perfect compromise.
While I sympathize heavily with the rallying cry for freedom and accessibility, I rather like that the gaming industry is helping to drive demand for powerful, cost-efficient hardware.

Development of GPGPU has been transformative for some areas of science and technology, but that development arguably has been paid for and made feasible only as a side effect of building what is mostly entertainment systems.

Also, I prefer desktop PC:s to laptops and (by incredibly wide margin) to those glitzy slates the general population seems to be poking for their limited computing need the last decade, so I'm actually pretty happy about incentives to keep desktop PC:s available and more or less affordable, at least in rich countries.
My experience has been the opposite, and more in line with the article. High IQs go to research, high EQs go to banking and the others consult.
There is a relatively organized "opposition." See PLoS, etc.

But it's difficult–generally, advancing your career enough to actually stay in academia requires that you publish in non open-access journals. Doubly so in medicine.

Vimium just doesn't work as well as Vimperator, which is why I use Firefox and not Chromium for my primary browser.

What Happens to OO When Processors Are Free? (2015)
Have you tried an ultrawide? I have this one [1] at work, and it's a lot like having two monitors.

(It's wasted on me, though. I like looking straight ahead, so I keep everything visually centered, and I find that putting stuff in the margins is just distracting clutter. I've never understood the appeal of tiling window managers or of filling a screen with lots of noisy background activity. It's nice if you need to display something super wide, however, like a diff or some complex log output.)

That would only make sense if Schwinn was stealing them.
The one and only reason that stops me from using Vimperator is the smooth scrolling feature, which is built into Vimium. Does anybody know how to get the same behaviour into Vimperator?
Because it makes for better games.

To me the golden era of gaming was about 10 years ago. Game engines weren't designed to make Hollywood blockbusters (see the current Battlefield engine and series). They were easily moddable. Maybe not surprisingly from that era came Team Fortress Classic, Counter-Strike, Desert Combat (the precursor to Battlefield 2) and mods you've never heard of like Tribes Football which anticipated Rocket League by 2 decades.

In other words, almost everything that exists today existed a decade or more and probably had more features. The current business model favors locked-down engines that have semi-regular releases of DLC or an entirely new game every year or two. This is horrible for building communities and pushes publishers to neglect games.

A more open view of game development would avoid a lot of this constant reinvention of the wheel and should create better content.
xonsh looks interesting. My first question would be along the lines of "do you get command completion and nice syntax highlighting in the shell?" but I see in your link that it does have those, so that's a great start.

My other worry is that there's going to be some things it's hard to do _on windows_ for any shell that isn't created by microsoft. Which is not the fault of xonsh, or any other alternative shell, obviously- but which might make psh a better deal in some cases.

Can't think of an example though, to be honest :)

Not GP but same situation. Firefox isn't always great. Start-up time is really slow, hogs a lot of memory, unnecessarily slow and sluggish and most sites are primarily engineered for WebKit/Blink -based browser engines these days.

I agree with a focus on open tools. Luckily, there seems to be quite a few OSS game development tools out there, which is why Unity and Unreal now give away their full platforms for "free". That being said, I'm highly skeptical of the "openness" of those platforms, which is why I can't quite bring myself to abandon Blender as a game engine, even though it is somewhat inferior.

The problem is, now that Unreal and Unity are so readily accessible to anyone, a FOSS competitor is unlikely to spring up: from my experience, game developers and artists are paradoxically so willing to shackle themselves to proprietary software (and actively deride anyone who opts for the "inferior" open-source alternatives), whereas I can make a lot more money as a software engineer using FOSS languages, libraries, and platforms.
I agree Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, and other cities directly bordering Pacific beach were already expensive and rising steadily. But the cities I was talking are places like Westchester, El Segundo, and Culver City.

Detached house price in Culver City definitely doubled in 5 years.

Tech didn't drive the demand for all of Southern California but for local markets that I mentioned, it definitely did.
GDC made it so that games were mostly open like research and parent communities (without the encumbrance for the most part). Why not push for this instead so more and more knowledge and understanding is shared and the community improves.

Games greatly improved as people shared the effective techniques they used. The game engineers didn't really worry about this lost of proprietary info because they're showing techniques not code and because in a quid-pro-quo relationship they expect that people who learned from their technique at one gdc will be presenting 2 years later at a time that the original presenter is really digging in on their next game.

This happens internally at large companies like sony. For instance the facial mocap tech that backs Uncharted 4 went through early iterations at other studios as well. This works for big companies. I'm not sure if they talked about it at GDC.

Apparently a few things have harmed the information sharing at GDC. Studios might be getting more paranoid. The pure/deep technical talks aren't as popular as "monetization strategy" talks. Really you might need 100 people in the world in one of the deep technical talks.

Also games like overwatch play well on 10 year old computers and $50 graphics cards.

Devs spend millions even on a simple game. It's a lot of bespoke software.

Why is that paradoxical?
Not severely but you do feel less effective.
>> It wants to be a pseudo C# but without being C#.

Where did that come from? You can instantiate .Net classes from the command line in powershell, but otherwise it's got nothing to do with C#.

Pretty much the only relation between psh and C# that I can think of is that they are two of the three least un-microsofty pieces of software from Microsoft, and they're both really nice to use (the third one being Visual Studio). Other than that, they don't really have anything in common.

These aren't incompatible ideas.

You can drill into kids the idea of the lone genius fixing the world (Newton, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, political figures like Thomas Jefferson and FDR) ignoring the history and vast apparatus that supported them, and you can fail to teach them how to effectively work in teams.

As long as you don't grade these things directly (which would be extremely difficult anyways), you wouldn't expect a correlation between a student's opinion on individualism and their grade.
