If trump tries to trim down the monopolies it will only be in his favor.

I still won't mind because Microsoft faced a pretty big case over IE. It could do that behavior now and no one would stop them. Sure Firefox would care but I don't use their software anymore.

Breaking up Google would be a great start; then tackle the print giants and TV giants (oh and radio if it still exists)

Sinclair however makes trump happy so they are the first I'd like to see broken up.

Things you should never say when interviewing for a developer role
That's ironic to me. I swore off Sony products in the early 2000s after being burned on their early digital cameras and voice recorders, which were decent hardware but ran only on proprietary software and storage formats (e.g. the inferior and overpriced Memory Stick [0]). But the great quality of their mirrorless cameras converted me into a fan. The PS4 is also pretty solid. That said, I don't think I trust Sony enough yet to buy anything of theirs that isn't a camera or game system.

"Last time I interacted with Magento, one of their customer service people"

That sounds to me more like they were dealing with the Meganto support portal rather than the Magento ecommerce software itself - a quick peek right now suggests that's Zen Desk. I don't know if ZenDesk admins have access to cleartext user passwords, or if Magento's ZenDesk agents regularly ask people for passwords and have a means of verifying them - but it's not a good look either way.
Question about the basics. They say:

> And it gets weirder: Measuring which slit such a particle goes through will invariably indicate it only goes through one—but then the wavelike interference (the “quantumness,” if you will) vanishes. The very act of measurement seems to “collapse” the superposition. “We know something fishy is going on in a superposition,” says physicist Avshalom Elitzur of the Israeli Institute for Advanced Research. “But you’re not allowed to measure it. This is what makes quantum mechanics so diabolical.”

But (afaik) measuring means disturbing, because you have to exchange some energy with the system in order to perform the measurement.

So in the above quote, if you replace "measuring" by "disturbing", then all of a sudden, the whole paragraph doesn't make any sense ... Can anyone clarify this?

So is there a way we can have those two sides hash things out in a more controlled manner? As well as the people not represented by either group? Right now we get the jobs, and we get the neighborhood protections and development restrictions, and in some ways everybody else loses.

Cities that can grow outwards, like Houston or Dallas, can punt on this problem for a lot longer than LA or SF or NY can, but I'm very interested in seeing what that looks like long-term. Maybe Dallas hits a continuing density-vs-sprawl equilibrium that results in mostly-reasonable prices w/ mostly-reasonable commute lengths (people seem pretty tolerant up to 45-min one direction, IME) just over a wider and wider footprint without ever needing to densify - not many natural barriers for a while. But maybe it doesn't.

I wasn't even considering if it is good or bad. My point was just about the password: if the new model is passwordless, well, making me (an user) type some password in the own site, or in an app, or in the facebook site, well... It has passwords. Perhaps good for the IT of ebay if they can say to someone that now they don't have to worry about passwords. I will still type some password, somewhere.
Sorry -- that was a mistake.

As sailplane pilots point out, TINSFS (There is no substitute for span.)

By far, for wings of reasonable aspect ratio, induced drag is much larger than parasitic drag contributions for a wing. It's really only when you get down into the relatively soupy flow around hobby RC sailplanes that you're meaningfully constrained by skin friction. Let me explain.

The coefficients of lift and drag for wing sections are idealized, resulting from wind tunnel tests where the section spans the tunnel. This makes them effectively infinite in span, since there are no spanwise differences in the flow characteristics; All flow proceeds from the upstream direction, laterally parallel, over (and under) the section, and then down the end of the tunnel.

Real wings, however, are finite in length. While there are a number of ways to think about what happens at the wing tip, not the worst is to say that high pressure air from under the wing leaks onto the low pressure side above the wing. (It's an oversimplification, but it mostly works.) This finite wing effect is associated only with the tip of a long wing; Flow around sections of a wide span wing near the root behaves a lot more like ideal wing section flow than flow close to the tips.

This leakiness does a couple of bad things, and at least one not-so-horrible thing. First, it reduces the coefficient of lift for the span as compared to the wind tunnel flow. Second, it gives rise to induced drag, which is that rotationally energized flow leaving the wing tips (plus the fact that your reduced lift coefficient means you have to pitch higher, basically aiming more of your lift aft). Third, and the good(ish) bit, is that it mushes out the stall, at the expense of a lower stall angle of attack. (It's nice when stalls happen gradually, with warning, rather than suddenly.)

Those raised wing tips you see are a compromise between parking and performance. They are about 2/3 as effective as they would be if they were horizontal extensions of the wing.

Notice that I'm talking here about span, and not aspect ratio. Aspect ratio, pointedly, is not a substitute for span. If you doubled a wing's width, you would get no reduction in benefit from doubling its chord length as well, other than a possible weight penalty, or the skin friction drag to which I think you allude. As they say on Monty Python, "SPAN! SPAN! SPAN! SPAN!..."

The one exception to this is very light craft at very low wing loadings, like RC sailplanes. (So-called "floaters.") Down there, the lift, and therefore induced drag, is so low that the parasitic drag begins to dominate, and you can choose an "optimum" span for a given flight weight. I forget the paper where I saw the derivation of that.
No worries, it's an easy one to make.
In the "listening" mood I code with atmospheric black and post-black like Alcest, Agalloch, or Kauan. I find both "Sorni Nai" and "Pirut" by Kauan to be able to induce almost trance-like focus.

Otherwise, I put on my trusty 3M Peltor X5A with -37 dB rating, so most of Wework's office noises and sticky pop background tune down to a barely audible droning.
I mean that the airplane’s propulsion system is ultimately the power source behind those vortices, by forcing the wing through the stationary air.
Not really a great example, as much as I love VLC.

Boeing is part of a duopoly. If a Boeing plane falls out of the sky, most people would chalk it up to the inherent danger in air travel rather than to fault Boeing specifically.

OTOH, part of the reason the duopoly persists is because of heavy regulation, and specifically the strict safety regimen. From that angle Boeing has significant economic motivation to promote costly safety margins, particularly those which raise barriers to entry into their markets.

I understand the argument that Boeing employs countless conscientious, professional engineers. But in 2018, with American business culture having internalized decades of cynical, anti-social business practices, I'd be careful about overestimating the influence of the professional class.
Oh wow, that's another level entirely. I was not aware of this juicy detail either (see elsewhere in this thread for another whopper). That's more than just a little shady.

Though 'fake it until you make it' gets thrown around all the time here.
The planes crashed because their flap settings were incorrect. Not these winglets/wingtips. Just normal, everyday flaps. And the reference is poorly worded; these haven't flown yet, and the reference is referring to other jet airliners.

>> As I said, in Prolog you cannot nest loops. You cannot nest loops.

What do you mean here? My earlier comment was jokular, but you can definitely nest loops in Prolog:

...
deconstruct([L|Ls],Acc1,Bind):-
deconstruct(L,Acc1,Acc2)
,deconstruct(LS,Acc2,Bind).
...

etc. That's a nested loop, right there.

Do you mean it in the sense that it's still the same predicate rather than a consecutive change of scopes?

> you have to exchange some energy with the system in order to perform the measurement

That's true, but what matters is not the energy exchange so much as the resulting entanglement. It is entanglement, not measurement per se, that "destroys" the interference. See:

or the movie version:

for more details.
Span is actually the governing parameter. Aspect ratio is just a convenient parameter that grows with span if you conserve wing area. A wider wing with enough added planform area to have a lower aspect ratio would still outperform our theoretical shorter wing with higher aspect ratio.

eBay/PayPal bought and sold Magento before this. When a payment processor that could embed and make its' offerings the optimal experience within a heavily-used ecomm platform decides to ditch it, I think you have a dud.
They have actually had a partnership/integration for ~2 years. Basically it comes down to using AEM as the "Glass" in front of Magento. Basically just using Magento as an API and doing all of the front-end with AEM. I know there are a couple of big sites that have gone this direction, but I think the M2 API is still not feature rich enough to make it work easily.
That's a disturbing job requirement for a non-political public sector job.
It hasn't. Aviation is a hugely popular spectator hobby. Any time a new plane (not even a new model, just a new plane like a 737) rolls out of the factory, it makes the news in these circles. When a new model of plane (like the 777X) rolls out of the factory for the first time, it makes international, front page news. Doubly so when it actually takes it's first test flight.

We're talking about massive passenger jets that are manufactured in the middle of a major metro area in a facility where they give public tours and is watched day and night by hobby and professional photographers alike. These aren't things that they go and "test fly" in secret, even if they wanted to (which they don't, because the 777X's first flight would be such a massive PR event that they would be insane to keep it secret).

But that's not the question. The question is who decides, and how, what speech should have (negative) consequences. If I am reading you correctly, you are saying that you will provide consequences to those who you deem to be calling for something you do not agree with.

Another one of the most important aspect of the free society is the rule of law. Not vigilante justice.
I think you're attributing malice when maybe there is just inconsistent and/or competing policies written by multiple competing/overlapping bureaucracies. See this other [1] DW documentary I watched on EU ag. policies (which I'd bet are very similar to US). Jist of it is they are heavily subsidizing (with price floors) domestic (German) production while trying to spur production (with more subsidization) in the donee country that are unable to compete.

SLEEK COPPERPLATE HIGHLIGHTING PALETTE AND GOLDEN LOOK
> OTOH, part of the reason the duopoly persists is because of heavy regulation

Also because Boeing was ultimately more successful than the third competitor in the market. Boeing sold many aircraft during a period in time when the DC-10's reliability was deeply questionable in its early years, due to some aircraft design/engineering related fatalities that killed hundreds of people. There have been a shitload of fatal Boeing accidents including things like the 747-vs-747 crash in the canary islands, a Japanese airline 747 that flew into a mountain, etc, but those were all caused by human factors.

There have been very few large fatality crashes that can be directly traced back to an inherent design flaw in a Boeing plane.
> That's not simpler at all - it's basically the same

Oh, you mean like how you have rvalues, lvalues, xvalues, glvalues and prvalues[1]. In Rust you have value, ref and mut ref.

You also don't specify ownership of passed pointers. So you need to encode that into your function documentation, as opposed to Rust where only value types can change ownership.

> And just like in C++ you have types in Rust that look like stack allocations but aren't, like Vec.

Never said anything about that, we're just talking about parameter types here, of course you can have value types take ownership of stack allocations(Box<T>, std::unique_ptr and their variants).

> And you need to specify in your function if it's taking ownership or not in addition to whether or not it's pass-by-value or pass-by-reference.

Not in the case of Rust, value types are the only thing that can take ownership(even Arc/Rc return value types when you clone()). Refs just allow temporary access in a mutable/const way for the lifecycle of the function.

> Rust got to break backwards compatibility which allowed it to remove a lot of C/C++'s old mistakes

Thanks for proving my point. I've never seen a C++ codebase that didn't use some of C++'s mistakes.

In case you're not aware, you're being downvoted for "Jap". Perhaps you were just abbreviating "Japanese", but it's considered offensive.
There are no test models of the 777X flying yet. And the source material specifically says "flaps", which are not at all the same type of "foldable wingtip" that is being referred to. They refer to very specifically different things.

The planes they are referring to are any other passenger jet, such as Spanair 5022, that crashed due to improper flap deployment.

The conventional locking mechanism that I've seen documented is like the lock on a bank vault: several pins, aligned with the hinge, which slide parallel to it, locking inboard and outboard sections in place. This locking mechanism means that the number of pins and their dimensions can be scaled to handle arbitrary loads, and there's no single point of failure.
I don’t agree. All laws are up for interpretation. That’s why we have the judiciary. Law makers draft laws, courts decide where those laws fit into the wider body of law.

The kind of law making you’re implicitly advocating is tantamount to despotism. Drafting a law that outlaws islam might well be clear in it’s wording, but it needs to be tested against the law that allows freedom of religion, freedom from persecution, and a ton of other laws no doubt. The claritiy of language with which a ban on islam is articulated is all for nought if it’s contradicted by, and incompatible with other laws.

Although, GDPR has been explained very clearly. And we’ve been given a loooong time to digest, understand, implement, and question it. I don’t think any reasoable person can make a compelling case against GDPR. But unreasonable people can, and as we’re seeing, they will.

It's supposed to be a nonsensical statement: I guess what I was trying to say is that we have come to culturally "accept" a certain number of fatalities each year in commonplace activities, like walking down the street, using a bathtub, driving a car, etc.

These are not remarked upon outside of local news. Three people die in an experimental category airplane crash, makes the local news. If three people were to die in a spacecraft accident, national media would freak the fuck out.

progressive taxation for a safety net is great. let's just apply it equally across income/wealth bands. why should our laws give a few lucky poor people hugely valuable rental subsidies and give many other equally poor people nothing. why should some capital owners (property) pay for the above and while other types of capital (large financial and corporate assets) can pay nothing.

narrow rent control law is a capricious policy in general, not just for property owners. a bunch of semi-corrupt political lotteries don't make a good government or just society.
And what if majority of society believes that those who own property are more capable of the burden of the poor, and thus, they should shoulder it instead of the entirety of society?

The folks who test cars at CR are Expert drivers, I was impressed by some YT footage I have seen; if they are saying the brakes are inconsistent then that has nothing to do with the brakes being cooked by hot lapping. Rather it means that lifting off the throttle at the same speed and applying the brakes with the same force, and at the same place on back to back runs will yeild different results. As a racer I can tell you that makes the car Dangerous and no fun at all to drive; if can't trust the car to do the same thing time after time--it's worthless from a pure driving perspective.
Sony has built a new app (for iOS and Android) that lets users port over documents to read, notate, or sign on the CP1.

IMHO this is the worst part: this "appification"(?) of devices, essentially using proprietary interfaces, is a hideous affront to interoperability and easy data exchange. Why does every device manufacturer feel like it has to put in effort to develop a bespoke application just to interface with its own devices, when there are plenty of standard interfaces they could use? USB mass storage, or if you want to be fancy, MTP, is an ideal way of transferring files between devices --- and it's a shame that it hasn't become more popular. Instead we see more of this proprietary shit, and even "cloud based" devices that somehow need to reach out into the Internet in order to communicate and exchange files with your PC sitting less than a metre away... if I buy something like this I don't want to install an app, register an account for a service (no doubt accompanied by some long and not-very-privacy-reassuring ToS), or even need an Internet connection --- I want to take it out of the box, turn it on, draw on it, then plug it into my PC and start copying files to/from it.

On the other hand, once the Chinese start making clones of these, I wouldn't be surprised if they did use standard UMS or MTP, like all their existing eBook readers and media players/recorders.

We could keep doing this back and forth, and I'd encourage you to do so, because you're just proving mu original point: rent control and rent stabilization are terrible at serving their stated purpose of providing affordable rent for people of modest means.
> why is so much of our economic policy centered around new and higher paying jobs in a certain area

There are certainly hot spots in places like NY and SF, but it's not just one area. Lots of cities are growing. And it's not all due to evil corporations running amok, at a certain level it's just capitalism itself that requires growth - the GDP has to keep growing year over year, and the population probably has to grow slightly to provide for that growth. Immigrants move in, and children grow up and need somewhere to live. Add in the generational effect of baby boomers, i.e. that older people retiring and staying in their homes mean that we need more housing for the same number of jobs.

Specific booms like tech in SF may exacerbate the problem even more, but fundamentally our way of life just requires continual growth. This is at odds with the NIMBY attitude that I have a right for not just my home, but every building in my neighborhood, to stay exactly the same as the day I moved in. It's not at odds with affordable market rate housing, that just requires supply keeping up with demand.
