Also, I'm not defending the plane. Obviously it has many problems, I'm merely pointing out that its use profile is different than the F22, and the notion that the F35 was ever intended to replace the F22 is an oversimplification of the DOD air dominance strategy. The F35 was meant to be a multirole fighter, but especially good at ground attack. The F22 RFP was sent out in 1986, when the country was still in the midst of the Cold War. The F22 was originally designed a response to the development new soviet fighters, which could out maneuver and out-hide F15s. The F35 was designed to replace aging fleets of multirole and ground attack fighters.

This isn't "revisionist BS." If you actually go back you'll find that the two planes were designed for different uses. The DOD may have dug themselves a hole while trying to sell the plane to taxpayers by saying it will do everything better than any other jet. That was not the original intent.
WW2 made Europeans and east Asians anti war -- the people in whose countries the wars were fought. It's only Americans and Canadians who view WW2 as the "good" war. Our countries got to play the hero role and beat the super villain, we were largely untouched (relative to what other countries suffered), and at the end there was years of economic prosperity. What's not to like?

> Free trade being a good idea is uncontroversial among academic economists.

Yes, with the caveat that the theoretical argument in favour of free trade (say, in a Heckscher-Olin 2 countries, 2 goods, 2 factors model) depends on compensation to the losers of trade, i.e. redistribution, transfer payments.

That's what turns it (theoretically) into a Pareto improvement: you go from no trade to free trade, then compensate the losers in both countries, and then still have cloth and wine left to distribute at will.

Also, less naive and more realistic models make it all much more ambiguous and complicated.

At any rate, even the simple Econ 101 model says: free trade is unambiguously good, if you tax the winners and give to the losers... and that second part is often conveniently forgotten by some, because "free markets" and all.

Request to guide an arts inclined Post Grad Creative
Hi!

I know HN is not the right place to make such a request but I am doing it here as I have not landed on the right place through search engine links.
I am a Journalism & Comm. PG with an inclination for creative arts seeking guidance for a PHD or a specialisation in Multimedia Arts. I am a self taught Designer, Sound enthuaiast & have recently started learning Python on an Ubuntu machine. I am looking for links that offers scholarships to universities/institutions or inexpensive mentorships/internships in the field of my interest/s. I have checked google links, Linkedin groups, but have mostly returned without anything fruitful.
All comments would be highly appreciated. Thank you!
I came across evolutionary theory in an Anthropology class. I am not asking anyone to take my word for it, but maybe at least inspire some to double check the information provided. I get a lot out of HN comments and this is just my attempt to give back.

There's this association of Eastern countries with

I'm reminded of Feynman's anecdote from Surely You're Joking where he visits Japan with a colleague and it transpires that a woman (a hotel staff member, iirc) happens to see him naked as he emerges from the bathroom, and surprisingly little "drama" ensues. He remarks that if it were the USA, there would have been a lot of "little shrieks", and his colleague exclaims, "God, are we uncivilized!"

It strikes me as counterproductive for the Post-Futurist cause to immediately beneath its statement of values reproduce for comparison the infinitely aesthetically superior Futurist Manifesto:

2. The essential elements of our poetry will be irony, tenderness and rebellion."

vs.

"1. We intend to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and fearlessness.

2. Courage, audacity, and revolt will be essential elements of our poetry."

Decades ago, as part of the CalTech freshman experience (Page House), I was required to buy a set of lock picks, learn their use and pick three designated locks within a time limit. Penalty for failure was being tossed in the showers by sophomores.

The language is a little ambiguous. It seems it's meant to suggest that having a folding pocket knife with a blade less than 3 inches is allowed, but that is not actually said, only implied by contrast to the explicit statement that folding blades longer than 3" are prohibited. In a regulatory environment like the current UK, I don't like those kinds of rights being only ambiguously implied.

The guidelines go on to say that butter knives with no cutting edge and no points are considered prohibited blades under the law, which is ridiculous, and that folding pocket knives with blades less than 3" are not considered folding if they lock open (because they are not "immediately foldable"), and are therefore prohibited. Which is, again, ridiculous, and also undoubtedly​ leads to many unnecessary injuries as unlocking blades close on the fingers of their users.

Not impressed with this policy's risk assessment.

Locks are sometimes symbolic - "Don't go here!". If somebody does break a lock, then the insurance folks will take that as evidence of forced entry and pay damages (if something was stolen). Some symbolic locks are even make of plastic - like circuit panel tags and locks.
There is a precedent in regulating these isps, regarding the phone lines. There is also greater public interest - the public helped many of the isp's lay those lines.

Regarding monopolies de jur, while it is technically different in practice many isps are legally the only incumbents because you cannot dig to lay more lines, and the municipalities have signed agreements to that effect barring anyone, including themselves, from offering replacement.

I think it's completely disengenious to compare Facebook to my isp. I use Facebook rarely and it alone makes up a tiny portion of my digital life, with no access to to my search history, emails, bank portal, video watching history, etc. The market power there is of a different kind alone, and there is enormous friction to switching an isp. People have no problem sending photos over Snapchat these days and completely bypassing Facebook. People have no viable alternative to their isp.

This is all to say, I'm not against more privacy regulations for Google and Facebook. But it doesn't factor in when comparing it to an ISP for me: they should not be called competitors, because it would not at all be a competition for data. The ISP just has all of it.

This is not some slippery slope to socalizing everything with market power. This is fixing a clearly and presently broken system.

Thanks for the comment, sorry for the slow reply. You're right that radiators should effectively circulate warm air on their own by drawing in cool air, accelerating it up with a chimney effect and then expelling the warmth out into the room via a warm buoyant plume and so set up a cyclic convection current in the room. This should cause a nice, even heat profile through the room with minimal thermal stratification. Back when we had single glazing there was an extra benefit as the radiator provided a thermal curtain/buffer from cold air falling in from the window and the cool air falling in, mixing with the warm air would divert the buoyant plume and help destratify the room (hence why radiators are typically under windows).

Now that we have double glazing the latter doesn't happen and the circulating convection current that the former is supposed to set up never really materialises as most rooms have obstructions that stop the full circulation of warm air and simply cause the warm air to rise to the ceiling and stay there (we've seen 10degC floor to ceiling temperature differences but the typical is around 4/5 degC).

The Radfan helps set up that warm air circulation/cyclic convection current by essentially giving the radiator a little top up to get the air moving. It also reduces heat loss through the window by about 35% by diverting the flow of air away from the window a bit.

The testing we have done is twofold, field trials with 10 housing associations to see what the behavioral impact is but more importantly we have had controlled and independent testing carried out by the Salford University Energy House (http://www.salford.ac.uk/research/best/research-groups/appli...) that corroborated our own in house testing that showed the Radfan acted as a destratifier (temperature at the ceiling decreased and the temperature at sofa height increased by the same amount), reduced the heat lost through the window, allowed the central heating to turn off sooner (providing a small energy saving that more than offsets the running cost) and most importantly didn't introduce any forced convection on the radiator so the central heating wasn't working harder as there was no extra energy being extracted from the radiator (just a redistribution of the thermal energy already in the room).

The data shows that a Radfan will typically decrease the temperature at the ceiling by 1 to 2 degC and increase the temperature at the vertical mid point by a corresponding amount. It varies from home to home and in a very small percentage (less than 0.5%) it has minimal impact, hence we offer the warmer home guarantee so that if a home is in that small 0.5% (which we are unable to define as homes vary so much) then you can return for a full refund - we only want people living with a Radfan if they feel the benefit.

Conjecture: economic growth is correlated with social mobility.

https://www.brookings.edu/opinions/the-economic-case-for-soc...

Growth and social mobility are the things Salt Lake and San Jose have in common.

The economic engine of San Jose relies on recruiting immigrants to drive a young, skilled labor force. In Salt Lake they manufacture their own youthful workforce by having the highest fertility rate in the land.

Think of the baby boom -- the last time both growth and mobility were high in the US.

The mechanism is irrelevant, but I'll point out that both Salt Lake and San Jose are running pyramid schemes. Eventually you run out of places to put people and then your population ages and then you have a problem. See Japan. Also, the bill is coming due for San Jose sooner and for Salt Lake later but that's another story.

Oh, and I completely reject that Mormon institutions (while perfectly admirable) and lack of ethnic diversity (questionable at best) have anything to do with Utah's recent economic pop.

> It's a nice hope, but the people initiating the wars are not the ones who fight the wars

True enough, but wars tend not to last long after they lose public support (or the population 'suffers from low morale'). Having veterans speak out and seeing flag-draped coffins on the front pages tends to do that (see Vietnam), which is why modern governments try to control the war narrative ("embedded" journalism, psy-ops, etc)

>"The key observation from my perspective is that they seem to have done the resequencing before any resistance selection. Why would the indel frequencies rise only in the CRISPR-treated cells during drug-free growth?"

Because in cells that contain the target sequence (the complement to the guide RNA), Cas9 is damaging the DNA, leading to cell death and growth arrest. The small percentage of cells that already contained indels (thus reducing affinity for the guide RNA) are "immune", so they preferentially survive and divide to take over the population.
Because this is gross mismanagement and because not all projects are mismanaged.
