Fists ain't cheap.

Slaves are capital, and, like all capital, acquiring and maintaining them has nonzero cost.

In the antebellum American South, some tasks like ditch-digging were sufficiently hazardous that a plantation owner would rather not risk their investment in their slaves, and so would hire Irish ditch-diggers by the day, as the plantation owner would be out less money if they died while digging the ditch.

AFAIK writing misinformation so it will spread falls into the realm of fake news.
Ah, but the backend system already exists; it's what is talked to by the registers the cashiers were using. Likewise, the registers themselves are already running software 90% equivalent to the kiosk's software—same view controllers, different views.
Because it's no longer beneficial for them to do so.

The main news cycle window is over, the shock effect has passed, news outlets don't run stories 24/7 about some poor millennial with an unfortunate skin complexion stuck at an airport.

Nothing to gain from a PR standpoint and everything to lose from a political one with the current administration.

Neither of these companies really makes decisions based on morality they do it based on calculated risks and benefits.

They need to administration to ease on h1b restrictions and don't make it harder for them to store money offshore and use it as a credit line without officially repatriating it.

So standing up for one kind of brown people takes a back seat so they can import another kind.

There are some interesting lessons to learn from history here that I'm not seeing brought up.

Looking across multiple cultures and economies that had slavery, slavery has a negative impact on both slaves and slaveholders.

Of course, nobody cared about the impact on slaveholders while there were actual humans being enslaved, but as we move to a robotic society? This is going to be a huge deal. Slaveholders and multi-generation slaveholding families have a fundamentally different way of looking at themselves and their culture than people who do not own slaves. Once we enter an era where every person is effectively coddled by multiple robotic "slaves" that do their every whim, we're going to be hacking into the human social ecosystem in ways never anticipated before.

In the past I've found writing games scratches the same itch as playing them. That solved this problem for me for a long time. Then I realised it isn't actually a problem, and if my projects take longer because I'm engrossed in a great game that's fine.

Although, as a caveat to that, I should point out that none of my side projects have ever amounted to anything. I hope that's just a correlation.
xargs is a remarkable time saver. jq for JSON parsing and selecting at the CLI. ^X^E at the shell to edit command in $EDITOR. for loops at the shell. until at the shell. atd for "run this in two hours".

In my experience (particularly on Emirates) they generally turn the seatbelt sign on before the turbulence because they can generally predict it on radar.

It is a little annoying when you have 20-30 minute seatbelt periods with barely any actual turbulence but there you go.
I have the opposite experience. We have a quite storage-heavy service (video delivery, multiple versions of each), and we recently had to upgrade our SAN to a) a newer system and b) more capacity.

As part of this process, we looked into AWS and similar products, and with a naive 1:1 move it would be 3 times more expensive than getting a hardware deal with ramp-up (make a deal for X, buy 20% * X upfront, then buy the rest as needed). Implement some better scaling up and down might have decreased the cost to only a 2x multiplier.

Having your own hardware is not a walk in the part, and you need at least one experienced sysadmin to help with server setup, but I feel that for a steady company the cost benefit alone is worth it. We still use a CDN on top of our setup to alleviate pressure to our servers, but otherwise everything runs on our own hardware.

Another point related to its size: the 747 has thrust reversers on all four engines. The A380 only has them on the two innermost engines, because the wingspan is so wide those engines aren't always over the runway and have a higher chance of kicking up debris with reverse thrust.

The idea is usually to allow committing partially completed or deployed features, which are hidden by config flags until you're ready to activate them. When the feature is fully baked and effectively always on in production, you just remove the flag to make it permanent.

Using feature flags can increase a team's productivity by encouraging multiple commits a day, every day. It can also make rollbacks faster.

On the other side of the spectrum, I recently did a mini review of available F/OSS options for full-text indexers /search tools. Requirements: natively compiled, one-shot/single-process per search, no long-running containers so EL, SOLR, and anything else based on mighty Lucene and Java was out of scope.

The reviewed tools were: clucene, Apache Lucy, Indri/Lemur, Xapian, and Zettair. Of those, only Xapian and Zettair could be made to return useful search results within time constraints. Sadly, I didn't get Apache Lucy to build, which along with Xapian is the only option still being maintained. clucene could be built, but delivered erratic results (it found "impeachment" but not "indictment" in the US constitution text), and was too difficult to extend into a full stand-alone app (though it apparently is being used in Informix still).

most obvious reason: gusts. wind is rarely stable in intensity and direction.

a secondary point: checkout any landing strip https://i.imgur.com/n99YiM5.png

a plane can't pinpoint the landing to absolute precision, even on autopilot. the dark patch should give you an idea on how much ahead/behind a large plane may land under real world condition - all the test they give in the papers are using small planes or even fighters, those can manage precise landing, a 737 not so much

the plane will have to follow the turn until it touches down, and as it follows the turn it'll change it's direction relative to crosswind, with all the implication it entails. few degrees on landing are already enough to need a significant correction.

> Looking across multiple cultures and economies that had slavery, slavery has a negative impact on both slaves and slaveholders.

Luckily, we have conveniently solved the ethic dilemma by defining work under slave conditions as better than no work at all ("think of the children!") and moving the exploitation sites far away.
To be fair:

1. The nautical mile is an SI derived unit, now fixed at 1852 meters.

2. It's a more useful unit than the kilometer for long-distance navigation due to its historical definition in terms of arc along a line of latitude making it easy to work with on charts.

There is a wrong assumption that factory has to cover those expenses. In reality this cost is often offloaded to government or another party.

That's interesting - I don't know if I've ever heard of someone going the other direction. As long as everything is bar coded, and you've got excellent industrial scanners (that's the key - not those crappy scanners that cashiers normally have to deal with) - Checkout via Kiosk is pretty effortless. In 12+ months of using them, I have not had a single bar code failure - which is pretty amazing.

About the only thing that's tricky is putting a large flat of eggs into the bag, and there's usually one person monitoring six kiosks who can swing by and give you a hand with the bag (it's kind of a two person job)

> With BotW you seem to have to do many house of side quests just to be able to take on the main one.

What? Why? I did almost no side quests until after doing all the divine beasts. There's some minor things to get into the relevant towns, and to get to the beast, but they were generally fun/interesting and part of the main quest. I don't see a reason you'd have to do any of the more boring ones.

I've noticed that BOTW which is different things to different people. I mean you could just run straight up to Ganon and finish the game in under 1 hour. Or you could play it linearly, only going where the quests take you.

Personally I just ran around finding shrines, and only finished the main quests after unlocking most of the world and many shrines.

And there are ofcourse better or worse bicycle helmets around. And the way you wear them is also important.

> (It would be ironic if you had no idea you were banned and this was how you found out.)

It's called shadow banning or stealth banning [1] and it's probably the most effective way to keep a community clean; explicit bans will anger the user and make them try and circumvent them by using proxies and multiple accounts, often to the point of just posting porn or other offensive stuff. Very hard to get that fixed. Shadow banning on the other hand hides the offensive content from the users, without the user doing it knowing - they can troll all they want, but shadow banning takes away their audience and thus the fun of it.

But yeah, telling people "ur banned" defeats the purpose and I'd really like people to stop doing that. The HN system isn't obvious though. Should have a help link if you can see hidden comments at least.

To be clear - any cyclist crazy enough to ride a bicycle on the same road as cars definitely needs all the protection they can get, I think that goes without saying. But now you've moved from the "extraordinary low risk of accident" that comes from cycling to the "Probably one of the most dangerous things I can do" risk factor.

And, pretty much 100% of the time I go snowboarding, I wear a helmet.

What I'm trying to surface (apparently poorly) is that life, to some degree, is about managing risks. And we often respond carte blanche scenarios with exactly the same response, regardless of whether it's proportionally required.

Cycling - on road, moving fast, around anything else moving fast, at all treacherous conditions - sure, yes wear a helmet. But, casual cycling on a nice day, protected path - probably not required.

Another area of proportional risk response - portable devices on planes. At one time, end of the world if you had one on during takeout (seriously, other passengers would freak out if they thought yours was on) - and then, all of a sudden - every airport/airline in the United States lets you read your kindle, play games on your phone. People realized their responses were not proportionate to the risk.
As an aside, modern aerobatic aircraft are often rigged 0,0,0 (wing incidence, tail incidence, dihedral), so level flight will need equal elevator deflection in the appropriate direction.

Less efficient - but makes for symmetrical performance.
The question is then - are there any systems that can ensure that two airraft aren't passing eachother at just 1000 feet if one of them is a behemoth? Will the corridors magically widen when an A380 enters it?

Will nearby aircraft be warned when crossing right under an A380 that they are basically on a collision course, while had it been a small aircraft it wouldn't be a problem?
I know someone who has sold content directly to them, so yes.
But a skateboard helmet doesn't work as well as a bicycle helmet when bicyckling. They are made for different falling types. They are better than nothing but not as good as the better bicycle helmets.

Will and Ariel Durant's Lessons of History. I particularly recommend the audio recording, which includes additional interviews and asides from the Durants. Short (~115 pages), but highly informative.

Vaclav Smil, Energy in World History. Arguably a far more significant basis for describing what has transpired. Manfred Weissenbacher's Sources of Power covers much the same topic, though at far greater length (not always relevance), and slightly unevenly. Daniel Yergin's The Prize addresses specifically oil's impact (and history), and was mind-opening for me.

Karl Polanyi, The Great Transformation. The Industrial Revolution and emergence of the modern technological world.

David Christian, Big History. This goes back somewhat before ancient times, to the Big Bang.

http://www.worldcat.org/title/big-history/oclc/940282526&ref...

Add to that a good overall outline. H.G. Wells, Outline of History is somewhat in the tradition of David Christian's (and Christian cites it as a prior version of Big History). It's dated and jingoistic, but serves itself to show that viewpoints and perspectives change with time. Arnold Toynbee's History of the World is another, though larger. The Durants' Story of Civilization another.

This is probably a nonstandard list, but it's a set I'm finding particularly useful in filling in what was missing from my own earlier understanding.

With a general outline, I find I'm diving into specific areas and aspects of history. Less the politics and big events, more the philosophy, technology, energy, and informational aspects. There's some particularly good specific research on times, places, and periods being written. And some amazing online resources, ranging from primary materials (the Internet Archive and Hathi Trust have scans of original texts, Project Gutenberg has those converted to print, Wikisource as well), to compilations -- the History of Information and Basics of Philosophy both strike me as quietly amazing.
