I'm similarly impressed with the captain here, but I disagree with your interpretation of what the approach controller was saying in this case.

Pilot: Southwest 1380, we'd like to turn - to start turning inbound.

Approach: Southwest 1380, turn, just start turning southbound there. There's a Southwest 737 on a four-mile final. You'll be turning southbound. Start looking for the airport, it's off to your right and slightly behind you there, and altitude is your discretion. Use caution for the downtown area. Maintain, advise you maintain at or above 2200 per the MVA.

I believe this is the point, 34 minutes into the flight, at which the pilot then turns southbound toward the airport, passing almost directly over downtown Philadelphia:

https://flightaware.com/live/flight/SWA1380/history/20180417...

https://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Minimum_Vectoring_Altitu...

"The minimum vectoring altitude in each sector provides 1000 ft above the highest obstruction in non-mountainous areas and 2000 ft above the highest obstacle in designated mountainous areas. The MVA is the lowest altitude that meets obstacle clearance requirements in the airspace specified. "

In this the MVA appeared to refer to the controller's instructions for the altitude required to pass 1000 feet above the tallest buildings in the downtown area. Again, the "caution" related to downtown was mentioned in between the controller's statement that the pilot could use her discretion for the altitude and the statement that he "advise[s]" her to "maintain at or above 2200 [feet] for the MVA" in that region.

So in context, I believe the controller was just advising the pilot to attempt to maintain enough altitude to pass safely above the downtown buildings, rather than to avoid flying over the downtown area at all. Again, it appears that she did fly over the downtown area as part of her approach. At the time of its southbound turn, the plane was at an elevation of about 3300 feet and then it passed over downtown at an elevation near 2600 feet or so.

[Edit: I saw another transcript that said "per the MVA" instead of "for the MVA", and I've corrected my transcript above. This makes me even more convinced that the "caution for the downtown area" refers to an established precaution, although other aircraft might not have a reason to come as close to the downtown buildings on a typical approach.]

Chances are you'd be growing a whole mix of cow parts at first and have to figure out how to differentiate them for the vats, so I doubt it'd be a problem. By the time vat meat works properly, you'd probably have the right knowledge and tech to grow cow hide by the mile simultaneously.
I don't get it. Why is "climate chsnge" needed as a justification? Isn't it enough of a reason that it can cool temparatures in the surrounding area 10 degrees if it helps reduce AC costs?

Our countries deal with dissent and criticism in a different way. By discrediting it as fake news, propaganda or any other made up ruse and self censorship by the media who are owned by entrenched interests and ambitious journalists not keen to jeopardize their careers.

RT is attacked and demonized here, Snowden and Assange are still stranded, Poitras, Greenwald and other dissenters are routinely harassed by authorities and whistle blowers continue to be prosecuted and sent to jail. [1]

If RT is propaganda then so is the BBC, CNN and the rest of our media who far from providing checks and balances are notorious for toeing the government line and have a history on cheering on every dubious decision including fabricated evidence for wars, and warmongering just a week ago again on completely fabricated evidence.

Taiwanese and Korean voters (and voters in a lot of other parts of Asia and Europe) believe that providing high-quality infrastructure and public transit is a basic duty of government. If the transit situation got bad there, the politicians would be worried about losing the next election, so they don't let things get bad.

American voters just have lower standards. This is true in a lot of other areas, especially education. If American politicians believed they would lose re-election because of bad infrastructure, the money and commitment necessary to fix the problem would suddenly, magically appear.
I'm going to be a little harsh, as language learning is something I feel needs to be done right and with a bit of care. Teaching the wrong things, especially through trying to automate translations in some fashion, leaves people worse off. It's good that you started off with a few Core listings for some languages - as it gives some content for people to test/use.

I would suggest presenting words then testing on them - as otherwise the chances of a user stumbling across a word they know is very slim. Having to go through the entire course (it seems like?) to possibly see a word again means it does a poor job of teaching new words. This is where copying other SRS programs like Anki or Memrise might come into play, but you'd have to sell people on more than what Anki/Memrise offers.

A few minor nitpicks:

1. Allow a short trial use to funnel into signing up for an account, no need to track the not well/well/good for users who aren't signed in - but they can still "test" on cards.

2. If a user gets an error the styles get a little ugly on the signup form

3. The Getty Image embeds are probably meant to help as mnemonics but I found them distracting and often quite unrelated to the word being presented

I don't get it - they broke the computer didn't they? So why is this Apple's problem to fix it?

He asks 'how the fuck does that even work?' well they just don't offer that service. If they don't want to provide a service when there is no contract, then they don't want to end of story. You can't just demand someone does a job for you that they don't want to.
I read it as small telecoms. Not WISPs (Wireless Internet Service Providers). So companies which provide cell phone service. I don't think Ubiquiti is in the cell phone service market.

Hmmm, I don't think I've heard anyone else express this razor, so, yeah, sure, you can call it after me, though it does seem vain of me to say that you should, so let's let you call it whatever you want.

As to the HN-has-little-humor phenomenon, well, some people seem to think that dry == authoritative. That's BS, of course, but I don't know what to call that. I'll think about it.
They fixed the big ones but there are still a bunch of edge cases where you have to log out, like one account is from US and one is from Canada.
See "How does this compare to the Facebook Container extension?": https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...

It is also my understanding that Chrome Profiles are per-window, while Firefox containers are per-tab.
Neat. Is this your app? The tabs on the top of mailtrain.org seem to want me to log in, which is confusing or possibly broken?

How would you compare it to Sendy and EmailOctopus?

I send a lot of email newsletters and I've always wanted to do this general approach (decouple list management & analytics from SMTP & deliverability) but found existing solutions pretty far from what we'd require.
How long it has been hot seems irrelevant to the question of "will this make it less hot?". _IF_ this makes it less hot, it still _might_ be a waste of money, but it all depends on how much less hot.
I agree with this. I worked with some Chinese lecturers as part of a course and we (European members of the group) joked about things being read which at the time came across as insensitive as they had issues with this before.

I don't think it has put me on a list though - well maybe to the same extent as reading 4chan...
Most likely, that is exactly why they are pursuing actions like this one. They're worried that if they don't, they'll lose control over the name, not that this app itself is costing them anything.
The valid sha ties this block to the exact point in time at which the solution was found. We can't know exactly what time in hh:mm:ss that was, but we do know the chain height, and the height is how "blockchain time" is told.

The fact that the block time (i.e. height) is when the conforming SHA was found is indisputable. Also that no other block happened at this same point in time.

You're getting your money back and a bit of everyone else's who has to use cash. Visa is splitting the ill-gotten gains from its market power with you so that you'll help keep the system going. It's mildly unethical to use credit over debit. That 3% skim isn't from doing something socially positive, it's completely zero-sum.
This is bad news, for sure. But it's no surprise, in the current environment. I mean, when it's the feds vs Microsoft, Congress can just change the laws. And the EU is moving in the same direction. Also China and Russia, obviously.

So anyway, the only option for those who want protection against warrants is to hide. Sure, go with providers in places that are more privacy friendly. But that can't be the only defense. At this point, I believe that the best option is local encryption, plus network connectivity through nested VPN chains plus Tor.

I think that the perceived stiffness of analytic philosphy is really just the true limitations of philosophy made obvious.

>that really only shows the limitations of whatever language you’re using for discourse.

It's not entirely clear that natural languages are more powerful than formal ones (in terms of stating true facts,) but what is easy to see is that English makes it far easier to appear to prove something you haven't. That gives it an illusion of power.

Ironically Neitzsche had something to say about this: you've got the small claims that seem pedantic and insignificant, and the grand claims that explain the meaning of it all, but in the end the small claims can be made so much more certain than the grand ones that they're what you want to base everything off of. Viscosity of water vs. angels on the head of a pin.
The WISP in my area is all Ubiquiti.
Not always. It's just difficult for them to do the right thing when it's so easy to pretend you have the law on your side that that makes it OK to take the 800 lb gorilla you work for and then go sit it on some nobody. And too many executives can't bring themselves to tell the lawyers to worry about legal things and let the executives make the business decisions. I've seen this time and again. Inexperienced or just lame executives often let the lawyers force their decisions.
It's interesting to see how manual the process still is.

I would've thought for something like manufacturing glass, you would be able to make the process more or less entirely automated.
Evidence that Huawei has deep ties to the Ministry of State Security and Third People's Liberation Army - the CIA and NSA respectively for China - is public and well documented [1][2][3][4]. The argument goes, that if widely adopted in the US, Huawei/ZTE would pose a national security risk. As a result, the US wants to put barriers to the adoption of their technology in the US.

It's worth having the debate about the merits of this argument, and resulting stances/actions taken by the USG.

Some (not all) car seats are also rated for use in aircraft, and they have some notes about that on the label. We planned for it, so both of ours were, even though they were enormous. I humped them into and out of every flight when our two kids were small. The flight crews never complained.

Its basically the difference between seat belts that work, and seat belts that don't work. There's plenty of space in between perfect landings and crashes that kill everyone onboard. Seat belts matter in that in-between space, as today's incident shows. For us, the peace of mind was totally worth it.

It's unclear from your comment, so I wanted to clarify for other people who may not know: skyscrapers are intentionally built such that they sway, as that helps to disperse the energy more than a rigid structure.

I am curious how GPL2 will intersect with "You can't reimplement our API in your own project."
I agree completely. Programming is not some special skill that deviates from the norm. It helps a lot to master one language before moving on to another. This is not to say that trying new languages is not a good idea, just that the focus should be deep not shallow. Unfortunately, a lot of this industry is all about shallowness when it comes to hiring. It's almost like having experience is looked down upon, but knowing the framework of the day is a critical criteria for hiring. I think part of this is because the industry is dominated by incredibly short lived, incredibly buggy, incredibly low quality software: aka what every startup anywhere develops when it sees itself not as a sustainable business, but one with an exit a couple of years down the road.

identity is tied to society, unless we are to become reclusive hermits

Ah, but the reclusive hermit is a response to the society - an active rejection - such that the hermit is one of the lifestyles most consumed with society's affects!

Similarly the "hipster" has a finely refined vane on popular culture. Calling a hermit/hipster disconnected from society It's like calling an antihistamine disconnected from pollen.
Entropy never comes into it because we are not talking about a closed system. So long as a creature can eat food, or synthesize it from the sun's rays, they are an open system taking in substances that give it fresh energy.

You could model this a few ways. You could say a creature exports its entropy by eating food, or you could say, more accurately, that the entropy was created when the energy was stored in chemical form in whatever substances the creature eats.

If there was some ultimate limit on the ability of creatures to communicate information forward then the aging process would apply to the entire species, to life itself, rather than to individual organisms.

You can think of yourself as an organism that was created a few years ago by your mother and father, but as a chemical process, you are 4 billion years old, give or take a few hundred million years. There has not been a single second, in the last 4 billion years, when the chemical reaction that is you was not working to propagate itself forward. If entropy applied to you, then surely you would not have lasted 4 billion years?
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. Our kids always flew in their car seats. The airplane's lap belt goes over the car seat in slots that are designed for this purpose, and the kid is strapped into the car seat's 5-point harness. The whole thing works great, aside from having to haul the car seat down the airplane aisle during boarding and deplaning.
Quite concerning. IIRC Telegram is based in Russia. And Russia has been trying to ban the app. Maybe they just decided to shut down the company itself. It's within the state's power anyway.

It seems like your criticizing his analogous use of "identity", but not the underlying idea.

Perhaps the idea is more clear if it's framed in terms of votes rather than identities. Mining on top of a particular fork can be viewed as voting for that fork. Each participant's number of votes is proportional to their hash power. Double voting is impossible since the same hardware can't mine on more than one fork without splitting its hash power.
Let the speculation about Russian involvement begin!

It doesn't do that - we compile the Ruby interpreter to native, not the Ruby application.

It's a little bit more complex than that in that we can run a Ruby application ahead of time up to a certain point where we compile it, and then when you run the application that state when it was compiled is restored. So we load the core library during compilation for example.
