> "Airlines are allowed to oversell flights. When they do, they typically offer travel vouchers to encourage some people to give up their seats. They can also bump passengers - force them off the flight - but there are rules and necessary compensation."
> "Dao, who lost teeth and suffered a broken nose and a concussion."

I don't understand why we still allow overbooking when we regulate so much else in the flight industry.

Also, even with allowed overbooking, why is it not the responsibility of the airline — who initially offered travel vouchers per policy — to continually offer more until the offer is accepted? Why are they allowed to determine 'x' amount as justifiable, then forcefully remove people when the passengers disagree? Paying generously should be a penalty of overbooking, at the least.

I downvoted you because you made baseless accusations of industrial scale racism not only at Musk but at all of Western Civilization. I'm not saying there are no issues with racism, but to say "hiring lots of white people and not using Indian contractors" is equal to "white supremacy", then you are WAY off base.

Take a deb and run "ar -xv" on it

You will get out a control.tar.gz, data.tar.gz, and debian-binary file which is a text document with a version for something in it. (Not the package version. Maybe DPKG api version.) Now, just look at how simple this structure is and marvel at how quickly you can demystify debs!

If you wanted to run "pip install" you could do it in the postinst, a part of control.tar.gz, but this is not the traditional way in a deb. No reason you couldn't do it. Traditionally you should list those pip dependencies as dependencies in control and let debuild or your preferred deb building tool pack it up this way for you, then they can be frozen and will be reproducible through only the package mirrors. (The dependencies are listed as dependencies, and they are also packaged into debs.)

I am looking at my heroku_3.99.4_all.deb that I happened to find first, and data.tar.gz contains a single empty directory usr/local/heroku/ for the place that postinst will dump things into (postinst does a wget to some path at https://cli-assets.heroku.com, and moves a few things around after that.)

IMHO this is a terrible deb, because if heroku goes away it will completely bomb out and fail to install.

(Then again if heroku does go away, what do you need the heroku client for exactly?)

Your suggestion of doing pip install has the same problem, but what's worse? I am a rubyist and I would never question whether you should use bundler to manage your dependencies. Absolutely you should, the package versions in stable distros are atrocious and usually horrifically outdated, and you almost certainly don't want to use anything but a stable distro in production.

So, to recap, yes you can but it is not usually done this way.

Yeah. I saw an ad last night during a late night comedy talk show. Said, "boy, sounds like someone didn't see this same exact movie two decades ago, Flatliners."

Turned out, no, that's exactly what happened. They remade the exact same movie with different actors. Why bother??? How stupid. What a waste.

> Ho served with Mash and another Taser consultant on a 19-member task force that prepared an influential 2009 white paper on excited delirium for the American College of Emergency Physicians, representing 31,000 doctors. The paper described the condition as “a real syndrome of uncertain etiology,” or cause.

This is some special kind of evil. They not only have coroners and police departments in their pockets. But also invented a whole new disease and funded a "white paper" about it. They fully expected for this to end up in court from day one, as they know exactly what their product does to people. So they inoculated themselves by generating "scientific research" to shove in front of juries during a trial. "Oh look science! Victim was suffering from a case of excited delirium when officer Jones pressed the trigger. Here is a paper on it".

After serving on a jury, I believe this would totally fly there. Juries are not allowed to research or study the facts about the case on their own. Once "evidence" is shown or an expert is declared "an expert in <blah>" then you are told to base your judgment on what they present.

Doug Creutz, a media analyst at Cowen and Company, wrote of the film in a research note, “Our high expectations appear to have been crushed by a 19 Rotten Tomatoes score.”

Well yes. If your film is terrible, the reviews on sites like Rotten Tomatoes and the overall scores generated from them will reflect that. And if that's the case, people won't watch the movie.

The system works. You put out a terrible film, it got rightly bashed to pieces and people decided it wasn't worth watching as a result. That's all it comes down to; if you want to make money here, you should ideally release a decent product.

The same thing applies to anything really, if you try to "shard" (partition, or simply do multi tenancy) based on files, MySQL tables, MongoDB collections, and of course elasticsearch indexes.

And you have to plan ahead and start with a large number of shards, to be able to scale your ES cluster.

Yet it's much better than trying to get some kind of SQL based cluster going, because those require knowledge of a lot of subtle internal details.

That has been my experience as well. Maybe you and I are unusually fussy, or maybe the fact that "fresh" just means "worth seeing" leads to inflated scores.
And that is the problem, politicians were keen on building a TV.

You couldn't just build a TV there would be a great design competition and then a design will be selected.

The selection will be political which means that designs were not selected by market forces which favor merit but rather the whim of a corrupt and inefficient political machine.

The pricing also was an issue, economics in the USSR were screwed it was socialism bubble in a capitalistic world.

Everything had a price but the price was completely detached from the cost and the value of the product (the designers themselves could not gauge the true costs of their designs, and quite often the design that would keep as many people
employed would be favored which would cause even more inherent inefficiency)

When your TV was priced at 50$ but cost 500$ to make there will be shortages.

Additionally the USSR had a horrible problem with skilled labor despite probably having one of the better educated workforce in history.
This was because again lack of meritocracy and a free market a rocket engineer would be making as much as an engineer working on bicycle gears.

Unless you were well connected politically you also had very little choice on where would you be assigned to work.

Because of this building skills in critical industries in the commercial and consumer sectors was very hard.
I haven't see TDT yet, so I can't speak to the quality of the movie, however, liking something is not the same as thinking it is good.

There are plenty of movies that I love watching, but in no way consider well made.

I look to RT to see what's a "must see" (high critic and audience scores) or "must avoid in theaters" (low critic and low audience). Anything in between I decide like a I usually would.

The bigger issue is that of course Hollywood hates RT. It's much easier to dismiss a review than it is to make a good movie. I've also found that reviews in general have gotten way more divided (everything seems to be great or awful, not much in the middle) which I believe can be attributed to fishing for clicks. It's all speculation, but I can see middle-of-the-road reviews getting glazed over while "you must see this movie!" or "this is trash!" reviews will get the most clicks/comments/shares.

giving the terms Taser uses in its own publishing - "neuromuscular incapacitation" and "electro muscular disruption" - it takes a non-trivial twist of mind (triggered for example by $20K+ expert fee) to attribute stop of heart to something else.

While with low probability (1 in 6000), there is specific conditions when Taser will almost for sure cause ventricular fibrillation - it is when dart hits 1cm2 patch right over the ventricle in people with heart located closer to skin (i guess usually it would mean smaller and/or thinner people, and there have been other studies that shown reverse correlation of [probability of] damage [and VF in particular] with body weight) :

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17355063

Basically each 6000 times Taser is deployed there can be expected a death.

I don't know. I definitely do even if I take them with a very large grain of salt. I'm usually watching them when they come out on DVD though so I also pre-filter a lot based on Oscar nominations as well as "Doesn't seem like the sort of movie I'd like."

I also watch few enough movies that I'll also tend to read the reviews of a couple major media critics before I rent/buy something.

This was only a matter of time. We can rotate credit card numbers, but sadly not a SSN. I wish I could rotate my US social security number when significant exposure happens (this would be the 4th or 5th time in 24 months my data has been exposed).

Assuming legislation passed that allowed you to cancel an exposed SSN and get a new one, what would it take for that to happen? Surely it's not just the one agency (SSA) that would need to make the change, but multiple agencies would need to coordinate the change?

(And of course, I would be personally responsible for informing my banks, brokerages, loan agencies, etc of my new SSN)

Does anyone have insight into how this could work?
Is it weird for me to want more than a journalist finding the most likeable victim/perpetrator and telling the story from his side before launching into their pitch about changing how rapes are dealt with?

How is that any different than relaying some horrifying tale of abuse that wasn't dealt with properly under the old system?

The only information it provides is telling us what the journalist wants us to think.

How about some stats? Some numbers? Some experts?

> It won't solve the publication bias people will still change the hypothesis or the test after measurements are done.

As a Psychology student, this is a well-known initiative: https://cos.io/prereg/

(Though I can't confirm or deny its widespread usage.)

The publication bias is harder, and pre-registration won't solve this. But I think this is a separate issue, and it's important to address each issue in its own right.

I've seen the proposal from TFA before and with my very limited knowledge, I'm still fairly certain it will never come to pass in Psychology, as nearly half of all modern studies have reproducibility issues (!). It would be beneficial to our field, in the way that a band-aid is beneficial to a gaping wound, but it would require a lot more rigor than has been evidently been displayed so far (and more rigor is more work, and time is limited).

So... Don't hold your breath.

(Sorry if my comment sounds pessimistic, I don't know much and I'm open to being corrected. I still have enough critical thought to be skeptical of some researchers' dedication to intellectual rigor.)

Again. Remember an early symbol countering the yellow journals was the Old Gray Lady.

And thorough, well researched, objective journalism has atrophied or gone underground in the wake of the digital readership monetization crisis.

And AFK, how many reporters are there now versus news readers? When you can buy your rhetoric and blurbs right from the think tanks in partnership with SocialCo(TM) and have anyone who looks the part read off the script, it makes sense not to spend the money on originality and depth.

It takes some mental acrobatics not to want to call that an ersatz representation or a fools interpretation of what journalism is.
I dunno, a financially disinterested third party that appoints an expert panel of inspectors could stop a poor decision from being made. Most of the time, the internal processes within these companies will work correctly.

What can happen is if suddenly there's a race to market that throws process off the rails or a risk factor that was dismissed because of particulars of the culture that is producing the vehicles. That's where an outside inspector and premarket approval really helps.
Thanks for the context. The other comments make it feel like this was extremely risky. Like "moving spacecrafts through closing doors".
