Ah, socialism. Who wants a non-totalitarian state when you can just enslave the people like all the utopian socialist societies.

It's not a secret that the industry uses software for modeling. But it still has skilled staff operating that software.

When people emphasize the artistry and craftsmanship of mechanical timepieces at this price point, they're talking about two facts:

1. Most such watches are designed in-house according to rigorous specifications and long R&D cycles, with the majority of tooling and manufacturing processing being wholly original and unique to the firm,

2. The watches are assembled and serviced entirely by hand with a sophisticated precision that takes watchmakers years to learn.

On the upper end of the spectrum you have independent watchmakers like F.P. Journe who singlehandedly design and build entirely new systems in their movements.

There's a lot of difference between "there are some things we cannot know" and "all systems of belief rest on axioms that must be taken on faith".

To me, the latter is an encouragement to rationally evaluate existing belief systems against each other, since it reduces all of them to a level playing field. From there, one can apply a simple twofold truth test to each system: correspondence to reality and internal consistency.

Proximity flying is just inherently dangerous. Even with power, many people have died. Sparky Imeson, who wrote the "bible" of mountain flying, died from flying too close to terrain. The strange thing is that he was actually flying back to somewhere that he had had an accident in the past (the first time he just got seriously injured, the second time he died). If you look at the accident location, there is a valley at right-angles to the valley they're flying up, possibly causing katabatic downdrafts or something similar.

Steve Fossett apparently died flying too close to terrain at high density altitude with forecast winds possibly resulting in downdrafts.

Both of those people were extremely experienced pilots, but they just cut the margin for error too low. The main problem seems to be that winds are somewhat unpredictable, and if you're flying too close to terrain you might not have a chance to recover if you hit a sudden downdraft. I can't imagine doing this with a powered aircraft, never mind a wingsuit.

These pilots who died were 100-300ft from terrain, never mind a few feet like these unpowered wingsuit pilots. If you stall from 100ft you're dead in almost any type of aircraft as there isn't enough altitude to recover. (I don't know how many of these wingsuit deaths were caused by stalls. It seems equally likely that they just misjudged things or a small change in wind just pushed them into terrain).

There's gotta be safer ways to get an adrenaline rush.

In missle theory greater accuracy means having to fire fewer and smaller warheads to destroy a target. So greater accuracy probably means fewer civilians hit in a given exchange. But then MAD theory suggests such reductions could result in a greater willingness to start a war.
Interesting how long it took the article to get to reporting what was supposedly "unfair" about the competition. And then it was pretty vague -- i.e. Spanish wine doesn't have to be grown by French rules.

Presumably readers are supposed to assume the French rules are somehow necessary. But Spain and many other countries seem capable of producing good wine at different price points. Maybe the French just have the wrong rules?

Along the lines you suggest, a while ago I took IMDB's ratings and used their emperical cumulative distribution function to "flatten" them into something more useful, percentile scores:

http://blog.moertel.com/posts/2006-01-17-mining-gold-from-th...

I am a newcomer (started around 6 months ago), and it was not a smooth ride, but that was simply because of a lack of documentation.

It has changed a lot since then - more people are writing about it, the Reason homepage itself has got a facelift with a bunch of new content, there are great error messages, there is always someone in the Discord channel to help you out, there are more and more bindings coming out every month, `ReasonReact` is seeing active improvement, and there is excellent IDE and tooling support.

I can see a clear increase in momentum as more people join, and I think it'll only get better as the new syntax is released (which is very similar to Javascript than the typical space-delimited auto-curried FP syntax).

Flying is not natural for humans. Our instincts are wrong, and our senses misinform us. This is well known among pilots, and why one has to fly regularly to keep the license, and why a large part of pilot training focuses on trusting the instruments rather than your body.
you are re-arguing my own point

let me restate: if there is a disaster and you are well-supplied with emergency provisions, in America you should expect to protect yourself, your family, and your provisions. in other nations it may be different, here people possess guns, and they aren't all nice

you cannot separate self-sufficiency and self-protection

it sounds like you are already following this mindset so there is no dispute. the way I originally made my point was poorly worded.

in California there is a public service campaign that tells people to be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours...which also means by implication you should expect 911 doesn't work for 72 hours

Nowhere near that close for me and a lot more soft, but still one of these “oh shit” moments was when I decided to go swimming when waves were bigger than usual due to a coming storm. It was all fun until I realized I wasn’t able to swim back to the shore to where I can stand. Every time I tried, a wave knocked me further into the ocean and my leftover stamina kept dropping. I was freaking out and had no idea how to get out of there.

Luckily the waves went smaller for some time and I was able to swim back to where I was able to feel the ground and pushed from there.

I knew that in the worst case the coastguard or other swimmers would have jumped in but still.

That makes the camera work at at least 1000 fps, and it needs to take picture of 100 lava lamps.

Virtually zero or really zero?
> Circular Error Probable: ? Poor.

In a paper from a defense think tank, I read that when nuclear weapons were developed, at least one major tactical reason was that the accuracy of all munitions at the time was similarly poor (long before modern precision weapons); remember it could take waves of bombers and hundreds of bombs to destroy one building in WWII. The blast radius of nuclear weapons was a solution to that problem.

They also said that precision weapons could, in that way, replace nuclear weapons. If your weapon is accurate enough to hit a building reliably, you need a much smaller blast radius, and destroying the entire city doesn't have a military benefit. For awhile, and maybe still, the U.S. was considering a system called Prompt Global Strike with that application in mind.

I think you're overlooking a huge difference in your argument against "the myth of the founder-hero": Lyft benefited tremendously from Uber pushing into new markets / cities first. Uber and tk had a huge impact on making ride share legal, and Lyft never had to deal with that (or not nearly as much).

Also, how would Lyft ever buy Uber? Even if Uber and Lyft get 50/50 market share, which I think is impossible, you need to be way larger to buy out another company.

I was drawn to it because it doesn't use systemd. (There seem to be a lot of people who dislike systemd.) Void uses runit instead of systemd. This has made it (for me at least) easier to use than Arch/systemd.

The main downside for me is I have to manually install browsers. Void's packages for desktop software is sometimes out-of-date. But, I'm willing to overlook it because of all the other positives.

Storing cookies isn't the trigger for the warning; no notification is required for cookies that are essential for the basic navigation and operation of the website.

So how would the browser differentiate those cookies from ones which are being used for data collection and tracking, which do require the warning message? It would require some sort of intent-signalling protocol between the website and the browser, which is probably more complicated than just requiring the site operator to include a bit of HTML.
My first full time job was for CAD 70k at Research In Motion. I knew other local employers (e.g. Google, Sortable) were paying more to new grad but I didn't care because I got to write C code and was hoping to sidestep onto the security team.

My next job I took a full-stack webdev role for GBP 41k (got a raise to GBP 43k the next year). That was around CAD 7k less than another offer I got in Vancouver. But I wanted to travel a bit, plus I knew that company paid their Sillicon Valley employees twice that.
