I believe he's referring to the the high pressure acting against the aft-facing region of the inlet compression centerbody. Kelly Johnson famously claimed that at cruise, the inlet contributed more to thrust than the engines did. That was a bit of a deliberately provocative statement, made with an element of jest, and based on the accounting conventions one uses for for thrust. The pressure distribution necessary to achieve these results would not be possible without the engine serving as a pump for the inlet-captured mass flow, and providing the high-pressure boundary condition at the outlet of the inlet.
Seveneves was the book that reminded me why I really enjoyed Stephenson's writing.
The headline looks like another entry in the endless "x is good for you / x is bad for you" genre of science journalism, but the article is actually a valuable object lesson in the complexities of trying to control for variables in any study. It's also a timely reminder of how socioeconomic factors remain one of the biggest predictors of health outcomes.

Do you have some more commentary to add about this to make it relevant to the discussion? You just threw out a sort of related quote without any connecting context to the question at hand.
While good marketing leverages statistics, usually the marketing personnel themselves do not understand statistics. They'd turn to the engineers to design a landing page for them and to the data analysts to do the statistical modeling for them. They won't think of writing a script to work for them or build a program to handle their reporting.

In my understanding, a growth hacker should basically be able to do all that themselves in addition to having the more traditional marketing skills.
If your choices will remove support for functions which have been essential to Firefox since v2, then you need to make a better choice.

Unless you enjoy walking or walk to stay healthy. Then two pounds more or less matter. A lot. For your health, go light, and take fewer taxis.

I know what some of you are thinking: "carrying extra weight will be even healthier" - but also unpleasant enough that you won't actually walk much if you weigh yourself down that much.
They tend to follow their wider userbase quite closely.

I thought they were talking about healthcare data too when I first read it but seeing as this is Facebook I realized they are talking about server health not human health.

It's really a shame that openCL doesn't have the market share that CUDA does (or kudos are awaiting NVidia's marketing and foresight to invest so heavily in the tooling around its hardware...) because the raw compute performance of AMD hardware is superior to that of AMD and often cheaper.
huh... Have been waiting for this comment.
Replacement technologies for XUL do not support the same extensions than XUL.

So there is no way to port addons if Mozilla doesn't add more technical capabilities.
"alt" is what's read out by screen readers, or shown when an image fails to load (you'd see this a lot in a high latency connection).

Is it not obvious to you that a 7 year old having sex with a 50 year old is torturous for the child?
I believe one of the key reasons for dropping XUL extensions is because they don't work very well with e10s (multiprocess Firefox). I recently had occasion to use a fresh Firefox without any e10s-incompatible extensions installed, and it really felt much faster, so I think Firefox-future may also qualify as "fast browser".
Second this. This use case is exactly what Kinesis was built for in the first place.

> I think a less contentious interpretation is that this data simply supports the theory that intelligence is mostly hereditary. And that a predisposition for intelligence can account for both the parents' as well as their offspring's high earning potential.

As someone with kids in kindergarden and grade school, it's rather visible that 99% of the advantage 1% parents give kids is simply the will to do anything at all. In most kids, there is no such impulse present at all, and it is painfully obvious what the results will be, barring huge behavioral changes. Or at least this is rather obvious in kids whose parents are doctors or lawyers, something along those lines. Less so for kids with manager parents, but still, I do think I see a difference in attitude.

It's not intelligence that's hereditary, it's the 1% more effort (usually more like 100% more effort), that when sustained over 10 years will completely overwhelm any innate intelligence advantage that may be present.

Yes rich parents also give kids more means to accomplish things and that certainly also helps. No student debt, maybe even a house to live in ... certainly helps (frankly, a way to opt out of our financial "services" industry is what makes the difference). But this advantage is useless unless the extra effort is also present.
Not just as easily, since it's virtually impossible for any laptop made today to trip a properly working and average in every way circuit.
> I find the unbridled optimism just unfathomable.

Agreed. This is due to fawning "enthusiast" type reporters with little understanding of the technical issues or the history. But then, which field is free of this phenomenon when reported by non-specialist press? Even specialist press (e.g., Aviation Week) tends to be overly credulous. The big publications that captured my imagination growing up, like Popular Mechanics and Popular Science, are really not any better.

The people with the longest head start and most interesting technology are the Aerion crowd, and they have been gestating for years without a lot of hardware to show for it. Boom, Spike, and others are receiving too little skepticism, IMO.

I don't know about that one but I've recently become pretty active the in the Screeps community (https://screeps.com/) and many of the players are first-time JavaScript programmers. In fact, one of the players in the top 20 for the game told me he had only been programming for ~40 hours before starting the game.

Control systems are very important in the game (the high-level is almost as much a logistics game as it is a tactics game), but you don't get to think about those until you can successfully walk your units around and complete basic tasks.
Isn't another big reason because OpenCL is harder to program in?

While I think that's probably true to some degree, why don't we use this to justify banning any sort of media that people wish didn't exist about themselves? For example, secretly filmed or leaked sex videos or pictures containing adults would have a similar effect on the unwilling adult participant(s) but to my knowledge they are not illegal. Something being traumatic or embarrassing to someone is not generally sufficient reason to criminalize its possession.

In the last several weeks, I read all of the Harry Potter series. Because I wanted to fall into another world, where I knew things would end well. And I've been re-reading Laurie King's Mary Russell series, because I want to be surrounded by smart people.

In fact I'm doing a lot of re-reading. The world is full of so much uncertainty, these days, that I can't even cope with not knowing how a book ends.
That’s actually an interesting point you make there. I’m tentative to make an upfront declaration along the lines of “I’m a backend developer” since I really do want to cultivate as broad of a skillset as I can reasonably support, especially at my level of work experience.
Look, I didn't read the paper, and it's not the only one.
I've never drank before, so I'm a terrible person to comment about this: but what exactly is the supposed benefit of drinking? I go to dinner parties, clubs, etc. and it seems that alcohol is everywhere.

People mention that its social lubricant, but I just don't get it. I've had great times with groups that don't drink any alcohol: sometimes we just eat great food, play games, etc. I've had similar experiences with mixed groups of drinkers and nondrinkers.

Interestingly, when I'm in a group where everyone is drinking (except for myself) it seems like the entire interaction has moved to another dimension. Everyone just seems quiet.

---

I guess I should also clarify: when I say benefits, I mean in comparison to other beverages. For example, tea is arguably the healthiest thing you can drink in moderate quantities, short of water [1]. There are obviously more reasons to eat and drink other than health, but for a health minded person, is there any reason to start drinking?

There is gold in being a host family. $1800 a month. Or more. Paid by the School.

Host families are a secret way to make good money.

This crap is infuriating. Wealth. Is. Relative. It's your ability to buy other people's time. Nobody wants to get rich so that they can have a bigger fridge. The middle-upper class has essentially all materialistic wealth they could ever use. They want the prestige and spare time you get when you're rich.
Ah, so I guess it comes down to whether you consider the inlet and exhaust nozzles to be a part of the engine, or just a part of the air-frame.

Personally I'm of the mindset the inlet and exhaust nozzles are an integral part of the installed engine, particularly in this case given the rather unique intake/engine/exhaust design.
"People who want to leave an inheritance for their kids argue instead that access to resources should be predicated upon a) the value of their contributions rather than the amount of labor; and b) access to any excess resources should persist until they are fully exhausted by the owner's willful use, without regard to the amount of effort involved in earning it."

It's a very compelling argument, except that in practice it seems to evolve into access to resources being predicated on a) the ability to extract resources from the system via external factors rather than labor or contributions.
I am not denying it. But even for distribution the criminal is someone who produces, not someone who distributes or downloads. That is why it is impossible to prosecute someone for storing drugs or CP for personal use, reading or distributing leaked documents, and things like that.

Ban on distribution is a half measure that is justified by the lack of power to ban actual production as it usually takes places in some other part of the world. However, it should be reevaluated from time to time and taken down as soon as possible.
A lot of effort is in fact being placed in these areas. NASA has had the N+1, N+2, etc., programs. There is a lot of interest in distributed electric propulsion (see the ESAero work), and Europe is working on their Clean Sky programs which are actively trying to push what is now called "Open Rotor" propulsion technologies. What is missing is major civil airframer (i.e., Boeing, Airbus) commitment to take some risks with new concepts that go beyond traditional tube-and-wing. Unfortunately, the outsourcing disasters that happened with 787 have convinced Boeing management that they "took too much risk" with the 787, conflating programmatic and technical risk, and it's hard to be sanguine about Boeing prospects for going beyond traditional configurations.

The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin

“A child free from the guilt of ownership and the burden of economic competition will grow up with the will to do what needs doing and the capacity for joy in doing it. It is useless work that darkens the heart. The delight of the nursing mother, of the scholar, of the successful hunter, of the good cook, of the skilful maker, of anyone doing needed work and doing it well, - this durable joy is perhaps the deepest source of human affection and of sociality as a whole.”
That's not really true. Chrome is more secure because it's designed better, they have very good and mature sandboxing for the parts of the browser that work with data from the internet, and because they work very hard at improving their codebase. They have their own LLVM fork!

WebExtensions can still read all your data on all websites and inject whatever they want into all websites. Not a lot of security there. That is OK though, I am fine trusting Google and Gorhill instead of just Google.
That is a very interesting book.

Two things I remember: the statement that by the end of the engineering effort "everyone was exhausted and nobody was really in control" (paraphrasing slightly from memory)

and a curious interview with a (British) engineer who was very concerned about keeping technologies proprietary at the national level--he seemed to be happy for UK firms to share know-how (as I believe is traditional, up to a point, in engineering culture) but god forbid it should be shared with another country's engineers. Shades of the Brexit mentality.

How do you explain psychedelics? Alcohol is a terrible drug as those go, but it is legal, so you might as well try once.
Not sure what your point is here. You've never tried it, so you don't know why people enjoy it? So why don't you try it and find out? There's a reason drinking is a popular activity all over the world. It's a lot of fun.

US aid killed Israel's indigenous fighter jet program.

If Israel could get drones from the US it would've eventually killed the Isreaeli drone industry.

Overall what Israel gets on aid they don't make and can't sell.

US aid also comes with a leash Israeli arm sales have congressional oversight ever since the Phalcon deal with China.

Without US aid the Lavi would not have been canned and Israeli Mirage clones like the Nesher and the Kfir are considered one of the best airframes of the time even today.
True, but about that same guy, the author later says:

Alcoholic drinks taste great (some), but the important bit is alcohol makes you feel really good. Temporarily.

The psychology of why we're irrationally more scared of terrorism than guns
Yes, you can do that, but you're fighting the way it is designed.

You mentioned the uploads directory, but there are very common plugins that need write access to other files. Almost every caching plugin for wordpress, as one example.

You also have to replicate the functionality to do upgrades for plugins, themes, and core WP, including ones that need database upgrades.

It's just a risk management decision. In my case, all the hoops to make the filesystem read-only aren't worth it. Retaining the built-in upgrade functionality is of higher value. We have offsite backups and file integrity scanning, and will fall back if needed. If the sites were, say, e-commerce sites, I would have made a different decision.
Can confirm. Being the only nondrinket at a party sucks. Everyone becomes a strange kind of boring where the stupidest things entertain them and you just can't see it.

Happens to me a lot because I don't like wine and beer and it seems that in the US people really really don't like to drink spirits socially. Or even to mix their own cocktails.

Sometimes I miss parties with my slavic friends where we go through bottles of gin and vodka and such things. Def don't miss the next day hangover tho :D

And yes it IS a social lubricant. Lowers inhibitions.

Edit: on second thought, maybe avoiding spirits at parties isn't a US thing. Maybe I'm just getting older and people around me no longer enjoy getting smashed
the way most python web apps work is they don't do the TCP handshake & http parsing, and leave that up to the front-end web server (nginx/apache/etc). Python only comes in via a fastcgi or wsgi proxy.
Well also, "bourgeoisie" denoted a 19th-century "middle" class who were above the proletarians (owned means of production) but below the aristocracy (did not necessarily own land or have the power to tax anyone). Nowadays we have very few aristocrats, and those who retain great power and wealth do so as burghers (owners of the means of production) and land rentiers rather than as aristocrats, per se. So the class system has actually changed to put the bourgeoisie on top, where they were once the upper-middle, while also merging them with the landowning caste of the aristocracy.

So I do think it's appropriate to change terminology.
It is, but it's a good read because it reminds you to avoid the reductionist "eat this, don't eat that" thinking. Just because you find a little less cardiovascular disease or something, it doesn't mean that the overall effects on health are positive, and your correlation might be specious anyway.

I would take the opportunity to build something yourself. If you're young and in school chances are you don't have any big financial concerns. This is a great time to try to build and sell your own products, something which becomes much more difficult when you have to pay rent. I'm speaking from experience too as it was in high school that I started selling my own software and my services as a freelancer. I didn't make a huge amount of money (although it seemed huge as my reference was a £50pw supermarket job) but I had a lot of fun, much more than I've ever had working at a company, and continued it for a few years after high school. This also gives you the freedom to make mistakes, tackle problems you're interested in/expand your knowledge in areas where you are weak, and it looks great on your CV when you do actually need a job (despite 'average' skills I was able to get very well paid dev jobs without a college degree).

Secondary to the above it gives you some basic business and marketing/sales skills which always come in handy.
