Obviously Cassini is in orbit around Saturn, so even before and after the dive the rings should have appeared concave.

My previous office where I worked is one of the best ever.

- office rooms (usually 1 team or half a team per room, about 3-4ppl)

- electric tables for everyone (so you can work either seated or standing)

- very nice kitchen, 2 * cooking facilities, 3 fridges, espresso machine

- sauna + showers + lockers and towels

- laundry facilities

- music room with bass, guitars, eletric drums, keyboards. also combined as VR room

- games lounge with big ass screen and some consoles and PC with proper "rally setup"

- big library with sofas

- quiet room with 2 beds

Additionally:

- occupational nurse comes to the office once a month

- physiotherapist comes to the office once a week for
some exercise

- Monday morning starts with a common breakfast

and of course some very smart people!
it uses less fuel per passenger to ensure that every flight is jam packed. It's more efficient and everybody wins. There are almost no examples of situations that overbooking + auctions doesn't solve.

I think you don't understand the law as it currently exists, because what happened on that united flight was in clear violation of that law.

They didn't deny the man boarding, they deplaned him. This isn't something the airline is allowed to do for economic reasons, ever.

Thanks for looking it up. I think Wikipedia has the variable costs? If I remember right, the article I got the shocking estimates from amortized the fixed costs of developing the space shuttle over the entire life of the program---and since they did much fewer missions than planned originally, you get the crazy overrun.

Anyway, even your figures are crazy.

Part of the reason SpaceX can be cheaper is not because they are smarter---but because they don't have to source parts from each and every congressional district.

It could be much more than one dollar. Those were my made up numbers to demonstrate the principle, not any kind of indication of the magnitude of the real numbers.

It's not necessarily a problem. Flyers can choose between certainty of flying and other nice things that cost money. Most appear to choose having other nice things instead. Southwest is banking on flyers choosing the other way. There may well be space for both approaches in the market.

There is no such entity as a business.

I was amazed to learn that the Linux kernel supports 1,400 distinct 32-bit ARM targets!

That's ... a scary amount, and it's easy to see that automated testing might be a good thing, there.

I think the combinatorial explosion happens at least in part because even though there's a limited number of actual ARM cores, the peripherals which Linux needs to support are often vendor-defined and thus different for each system-on-a-chip (or at least different for each device series from a particular manufacturer). I didn't dig through the sources to verify this, but I've heard of the problem before, ARM doesn't define a standard way for the CPU core to learn about its peripherals at run-time.

"The essential characteristic of the Argument from Intimidation is its appeal to moral self-doubt and its reliance on the fear, guilt or ignorance of the victim. It is used in the form of an ultimatum demanding that the victim renounce a given idea without discussion, under threat of being considered morally unworthy. The pattern is always: “Only those who are evil (dishonest, heartless, insensitive, ignorant, etc.) can hold such an idea.”"

Anarcho-capitalism cannot be the final goal for our society. If businesses try to circumvent important regulations that were implemented to protect employees, they need to be stopped. Burnout and depression is on the rise in first-world nations and the constant stress doesn't help there.
Without regulations the airlines will just put a "we reserve the right to uniterally terminate this contract with a full refund" clause in their contracts.

Status quo: offer increasingly higher flight vouchers until you hit the federally mandated rate of 400% ticket price cash rebate, capped to $1350.

"Smart Photos" are fascinating. I travel frequently, and depending on the country that I'm in, within 24 hours, a new smart photo will filter to the top.

I'd love to see research into this - revealing which cultures / countries / societies place importance on which elements.

For example:

- France, Italy: Suit and tie selfie springs to the top, constantly. Means that french / Italian women are more looks focused?

- Australia, Spain: Outdoor / adventure photo, straight to the top. Probably no surprise, Australians tend to be more outdoorsy.

- Asia: Presentable smart casual goes to the top. Looking more for 'cute' or 'presentable' ?

It'd be very interesting to apply the same profile to all countries to see what floated to the top.
Southwest's procedures made more sense when they only did at-gate checkin. You boarded the plane in the same order as arriving at the gate, and your boarding pass was just a reusable plastic card with a number on it.

They had to abandon this when the TSA started requiring a boarding pass to get through security, which made gate-side check in impossible.
Hi Brian, I'm a happy Backblaze customer. Thanks for commenting.

What you're describing is certainly better than no encryption, but couldn't the system be designed so that unencrypted customer data is never accessible by Backblaze? That the decryption occurs only when a user enters the password locally?
Eh, lets consult the oracle? Seriously- one never knows, because its the future- so asking the question is kind of pointless.
Surely it's a black box in a much deeper sense than that. We're nowhere near being able to prove that a given net implements a particular transformation approximately correctly. So for example, if you were to train a net to reconstruct 3D geometry with apparent success, there would be no way to validate that except by testing it on lots of examples. Similarly, we would not know how to give a precise characterisation of which images the network could analyse correctly.

Why would Eric Yip be publicising his strategy?

I suggest that it is because by encouraging others to short or sell their holdings in CBMX 6, after he has already shorted it, the value will go down and he will gain. People jumping on his bandwagon will gain less, or possibly even loose after he has cashed his position and the CBMX 6 goes up again. The mall thing is just a story to make people interested in shorting CBMX 6 - the malls themselves are not that important to the index.

In Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space series, there was a colonisation attempt before the main one in that series where fertilized embryoes were sent on ships with all they needed to rebuild civilisation. Turned out some fraction of the people born thusly became psychopaths and killed off all the rest, dooming the entire thing, so in the books all that is left is artifacts. I always found it a very nice touch and highly plausible that such an attempt failed spectacularly.

State-Run Health Insurance Exchange Passes Illinois House Committee – Birmil.com
I don't know about Tinder, but the (telecom) software development company I work for holds internal hackathons twice a year (one in May, one in November). We've been doing this for about 6 years, with over 150 attendees each time from offices around the UK. We normally have teams of 3-5, with a focus on innovation (e.g. bots, IoT, AI). Each runs for 24 hours from 17:00 on Thursday through to 17:00 on Friday when pitching/demos start (2 minutes each) followed by prizes and food/drinks/party. Any work produced belongs to the company (bear in mind this is mostly during work time) although we look at most innovative ideas for patent angles, and we get bonuses for patents that get filed as a result. Prizes are relatively token, but prestigious. Participation hasn't actively had to be encouraged - most engineers who are available attend. The main motivation for the hackathons are innovation and morale (everyone seems to enjoy them), but other benefits are education (learning new skills, languages, APIs, etc.), working with new people/teams and personal development (e.g. it's not unusual for new employees to take on technical lead roles that they wouldn't have normally).

We also hold "vacathons", which are hackathons just for the interns in the summer. There are about 50 attendees, and because they haven't always done too much software development beforehand, these are 3 days long and people are less likely to work through the night (although we lay on food in the evening, and people often stay until 10ish). The theme for these is more general - anything loosely to do with communication is accepted. As with the full hackathons, teams form and generate ideas themselves, but we also assign a mentor (a full-time employee) to each team to help them with any technical problems as well as planning/working as a team.

Hope that's informative!

No. Pilots become pilots because they love flying and because it pays well (mostly the former). Haven't heard of any pilot who chose the job because it's important for the economy.
I'd a big fan of Blindsight. That said I'm not averse to long books and I love worldbuilding (e.g. I really liked Anathem, and The January Dancer). Though I think I do also like to have a conventional plot to hold onto - a quest that our viewpoint characters are trying to accomplish - maybe that's what was missing from Three Body Problem for me.
One aspect of this that's interesting is the extent to which factors like the sound and pulse of the mother's heart, her movement, and sounds from the outside world affect fetal development.

For example, this system is pumpless, while the rest of the system evolved in the presence of a pump. In mammals the vascular system is continuously monitoring and optimizing blood-vessel diameter as a function of the waves of blood flowing through them. You don't get that if you have an artificial heart.

I bet movement also plays a role in fetal brain development too.

Therefore ideally the bag should be hung from a robot arm programmed to move like a sheep moves (maybe from recordings of an actual sheep), including sleeping at night etc. And the bag should gently pulse as though there's a heart and lungs. Also the miserable factory where these clones develop should play sounds of open pasture and birds, sheep bleating etc. That way they will be properly developed lambs ready to go to the abattoir. (edit: sorry for the sad ending)
That seems like a bad idea. But don't computers have the upper because they can do both simultaneously and weight the inputs appropriately?
Industry costs magically cut while Bezos is almost the richest person on the planet. And Amazon is a behemoth doing incredibly well. Very competitive industry. Costs must be cut. Let's talk about the metrics. Employees live to work, if they are not working what's the point on their existence? /s To me all of this points to the need for unions to return. Without the threat of communism there is nothing to keep this class of people from abusing workers, just to show the world they are not just about money, and creating good working conditions and good jobs. To them it's like a game, like a simulation, an RTS, the people don't matter. Their lives don't matter. Only thing that matters is the bottom line. I personally prefer Bezos was a mere millionaire, his company wasn't doing that well, and that his workers had relatively good jobs. How about you?
