> A Southwest Airlines flight landed safely in Philadelphia Tuesday after the jet violently depressurized when a piece of an engine flew into and broke a window, according to passenger accounts

Violent is relative.

> The plane descended by more than 3,000 feet per minute until the pilots leveled out around 10,000 feet.

3000 fpm is nothing crazy, especially for an emergency descent with a depressurized cabin. I'm glad they included the following line:

> Arthur Wolk, an aviation expert, said that is a modest rate of descent and indicated that the pilot had control of the aircraft.

The plane was never "going down" as one passenger is quoted saying.

Part of what makes Russell's book good (or at least useful) was that it connected philosophical developments to later historical events. With that in mind, I think it would be really hard to have an equivalent for 20th century philosophy - we don't have enough historical perspective yet. And that's without even getting into whether you could find a writer capable of understanding and fairly treating both sides of the analytic/Continental divide.

But if I'm wrong and someone does know of a useful work like this, I would also love to see it.

The leap was that now we have a plan for how to tackle these problems, we have tools that will actually work. Seemingly overnight those tools appeared and we realized their potential. However, we still need to learn how to best use these new tools and perfect them. Just because we can do something doesn't mean we can do it good enough, yet.
In retrospect, the best book I should have read was Shaila Catherine(spelling?)'s "Wisdom Wide and Deep", which sets out a full practice program based on the (Theravada) Buddhist texts Abhidamma and VishuddiMagga. This is about as hard core a book as you can find. Richard Shankman's "The Experience of Samadhi" is a much more lightweight alternative on just Jhana (and not Vipassana iirc), nowhere as deep but an easier read.

In reality, I had to piece together 'algorithms' from random sources and test them out. The basic instructions for jhana and vipassana meditations I ended up with match with those in SK's book, though her path involves getting into extremely deep states of jhana before switching to Vipassana, wheras I developed both skills in parallel (which is a valid method and used by other Buddhist schools)

I used to meditate 2 to 4 hours a day (more on self set 'retreats'). These days I meditate about an hour to 90 minutes per day. I'm not interested in going beyond basic jhana and vipassana and did not do 'skeleton meditation' , 'corpse meditation' etc, because at that point, - about the middle of Shaila's book - the meditations begin to seriously embody Buddhist dogma about the nature of reality and purpose of life etc, specifically ways to 'shake loose' your identification with your body, and so on. I have no wish to be 'liberated' from 'samsara', or otherwise be a full time Buddhist monk or the equivalent, so I stopped with achieving the ability to do either Jhana or Vipassana meditations for a few hours at a time.

I use these purely in a non religious fashion, as 'weight training for my mind' and am happy with my limited achievements.

Even at this relatively minor level of practice, things begin to get funky at the edges, as Steven's paper illustrates.

Well, it depends on what you want to do.

A really minimal XP with minlogon is around 10 Mb (actually around 20 MB that on NTFS compressed volumes are around 10), of which quite a bit is things that could be removed or greatly reduced in size recompiling the programs/dll's if the source was available, that won't do much, while with a decent amount of base tools it comes out at 30-40 MB or so.

Worth noting that this is a rough description of how IEC 62304 looks at the problem, but adherence to that standard is not required by many regulatory bodies (including FDA, although there is guidance). It's a good approach to this, but there are others.

More generally, the regulatory body will be looking for you to have a formal engineering process in place and be able to demonstrate its efficacy. Part of that will be looking for how you do hazard and risk analysis, how you handle CAPA (corrective and preventative actions in FDA-speak), how you do system trace, design history file generation, etc. etc. That you have a software development plan and can demonstrate how you follow it.

So they aren't really interested in code reviews per se, but they are very interested in how you view code reviews, how you perform them when you do, what gets documented, how you perform trace an V&V etc.

>violently depressurized

If we get to use this when a plane's window breaks, what do we say about the Byford Dolphin incident?

> Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the 60 centimetres (24 in) diameter opening created by the jammed interior trunk door by escaping air and violently dismembered, including bisection of his thoracoabdominal cavity, which further resulted in expulsion of all of the internal organs of his chest and abdomen, except the trachea and a section of small intestine, and of the thoracic spine. These were projected some distance, one section later being found 10 metres (30 ft) vertically above the exterior pressure door.

We're nearing the ceiling of available acronyms with "violent." I guess "catastrophic" could apply?

So the rules are there is a highlighted word above the bottom 4. Type a word you think is semantically related to that highlighted word. Then the game will sort all words by its relation function. If the word you supplied is in the highest 4 (sorts to the bottom 4) then it explodes and you get a new word near the top of the list.

The words in the box are irrelevant once you explode a word because they are sorted by the old semantic relationship.

The highlighted word is light blue and all the other words are a medium grey. That's why I thought you might have a vision issue.
This is going to sound stupid, but every time I flush a toilet on a plane I have the visceral feeling of the plane being depressurized and rather dislike it. I know the plane is safe and it's a fine mechanism, but still...

Flexing these types of social muscles can be an amazing experience. One of my biggest confidence boosters came from asking out a woman whom I'd just met, and then getting turned down.

We were at a pet store, and happened to chat briefly about our dogs. I asked if she'd like to grab coffee, and she said she had a boyfriend. We chatted a bit more about our dogs, and went our separate ways.

It was amazing to see that this type of experience doesn't need to be scary, and can feel extremely normal. I don't know many others who have experienced either side of that type of interaction, so it's encouraging to see this professor is encouraging it in her students.
I haven't read enough D + L to comment, but I don't really understand what relation Foucault has to Heidegger. They're very different.

In any case, obviously Heidegger was influential. But I don't think it's possible to say he's the most influential. From an empirical perspective, Foucault is the most influential, since he has the greatest number of citations.

If you go over a citation ranking and look at each thinker in terms of schools of thought, the most influential would be marxism, structuralism, then critical theory, then probably phenomenology.

> It took 60 million years after trees evolved for microbes to evolve that could digest them

Go back further in time, and you'll discover that from the moment photosynthesis arrived on the scene and took over as an energy source, until a life-form evolved that could make use of the poisonous oxygen that was a byproduct of it, it took roughly 0.7 billion years[0]. Resulting in many, many cyanobacterial apocalypses in that time.

We may have to come up with new (old) material solutions to many things, but on the whole I think that plastic-eating microbes are probably more of an apocalypse-averting scenario than an apocalypse-causing one.

EDIT: to put that 0.7 billion years number into perspective, let's look at the age of life on Earth:

> The earliest time that life forms first appeared on Earth is unknown. They may have lived earlier than 3.77 billion years ago, possibly as early as 4.28 billion years ago, not long after the oceans formed 4.41 billion years ago, and not long after the formation of the Earth 4.54 billion years ago. The earliest direct evidence of life on Earth are fossils of microorganisms permineralized in 3.465-billion-year-old Australian Apex chert rocks.

Sticking to the confirmed existence of life, 0.7 billion years represents 20% of life's history on this planet. With conservative estimates 18%, and assuming it was there from very early on, 16%. Even if life has existed on this planet for as long as Earth itself has, then this still accounts for 15% of the history of life on this planet. Meanwhile, we likely split off from Chimpanzees around 12 million years ago, with modern humans not evolving until about 300-200 thousand years ago (which I still find mind-bogglingly recent), which is somewhere between 0.006 to 0.008%[3].

EDIT2: This makes me wonder if modern bacterial life-forms, if not all modern life-forms that we may consider simple and primitive, may not in fact be incredibly sophisticated compared to their ancestors of billions of years ago. I can imagine that they appear similar due to a particular solution already being stuck in a local optimum (say, shark body plans, or certain leaf shapes) but that on the genetic level the more recent life-forms might have evolved complicated systems of evolvability itself that lets them adapt much faster than before[4].

I believe the word "suck" was used correctly.

The distinction in use between 'blow' and 'suck' seems to be the direction of travel.

If items are moving away from some centralized point in random directions, we refer to them as being 'blown'. As in blown up.

If items are moving TOWARDS a single point, we refer to them as being sucked.

As all the items in the plane -- including the poor passenger -- were momentarily being impelled towards a single point (the window), the use of 'suck' is appropriate.

The point of the dating described in the article wasn't for the students to get laid, or to spend a lot of time or money. The point was to get them to show some backbone by asking someone out in person, spend maybe $10 on the date, and to have it last perhaps 90 minutes.

She was making the point that in current US culture, among college-age people, it's more common to ask someone out impersonally (e.g. via text message, Tinder, etc), and for the purpose of the "date" to be sex. It's less effort to do that than to make a real connection with someone else.

I guess you can say "this is one of the reasons" but the overwhelming motivator is turbulence and passenger control. I'd suggest the odds of getting hurt by exploding material are way more likely and dangerous than getting sucked out of a completely shattered window, regardless if you're wearing your seat belt. Getting hurt because the plane makes a sudden drop on the other hand can virtually be eliminated by wearing your belt.

Diversity rhetoric, in this context, refers to social constructivism.

The basic idea behind this kind of social constructivism is that society is "sinful" and it must be corrected through moralizing (ie: interpreting all social issues as moral issues), essentialism (ie: reducing people to superficial qualities like race and gender), and Utopian ideology (ie: striving for a perfect society free of sin).

"Examining" "diversity" is largely unrelated to providing health services.

But an installed signal handler is process-wide. There's no way for a thread to install a signal handler without potentially stepping on the toes of some other thread wanting to install its own handler. Contrast that with signal masks which are thread-local, permitting libraries to set and restore masks without disturbing global process state.

> I certainly believe that some individuals will be better informed and better able to translate that information into the best course of action for themselves given their goals than governments, especially "governments" as represented by a patchwork of laws and regulations the impact a complex thing like individual health.

Some individuals, sure. Most individuals, probably not.

I agree that government policy has inertia, and that overconfidence on uncertain issues can lead to imposing well-intentioned policy that ends up being harmful. But it's equally possible to make the opposite mistake, and hold off introducing policy changes for too long because of perceived uncertainty. E.g. car seatbelt laws and tobacco advertising laws should have been introduced earlier than they were. I don't think there's any general principle we can draw here; some government policymakers could do with more humility, others could do with more confidence, but all any one of them can do "from the inside" is try to figure out how strong the evidence actually is on a given issue, and use their own best judgement in determining whether there's a clear enough scientific/medical consensus to warrant policy changes, or not.
That is wrong. If you read the thread, you would immediately see that, as I give examples there of how issues that were in the middle of being tested by users were closed, and that were acknowledged as real issues by the developers days before.

The difference is that those old ways allowed for greater personal agency. Perusing old books requires selection and even a bit of curation on part of the buyer, whereas algorithmic recommendations make deciding fairly mindless.

You write as if the filters you lament are bad. I think, given the overabundance of mischaracterized crap that seems to clutter up 'algorithmically' filtered exchanges (YouTube, Netflix, etc) I will take human curation and filtration any day of the week, biases and all.

Pandora and Spotify still can't build or execute a playlist like a good DJ can. Netflix's recommendations still miss the mark way more than talking about movies/shows with friends.
