"One thing" has never been very well defined - basically every common Linux shell tool could be said to do more than one thing. GNU `grep` supports four different pattern styles (fixed strings, basic regex, extended regex and Perl regex), has lots of options for output formatting (counting, line numbers, whether to display file names, etc.) and has a bunch of rarely-used (but useful!) options for various corner cases, such as line buffering. Even GNU `cat`, the canonical "do one thing" tool, has several formatting options. If `grep` returned match objects rather than a semantically void binary stream it would be really easy to hand over formatting to another tool, but that just isn't how *nix tools work yet.

No, it's not. It's not always clear what is illegal, what is not, what is infringement, what is not.

Rather than having a totalitarian authority create, divide and control IP etc. we have adversarial law and companies can file suit and work it out in court.

When there isn't overt corruption in the system, it works reasonably well.

I'm roughly the size you described and my 14-ish hour flight to China was the closest thing to torture I've ever experienced. The last few hours were pure physical and mental agony. Too tired to do anything productive, too uncomfortable to sleep, and sick of every form of in-flight entertainment.

Maybe frequent flyers get used to it or know how to prepare better for long fights, but I'll be making sure I have a layover from now on.
>The city has no responsibility to counteroffer
>gamblor956

Everyday lobbyists are making proposals to congressmen, founders are pitching to VCs, people applying for jobs and asking for salaries, and there is usually a middleground that these two parties can land at.

Perhaps the mechanism in like you suggest, simply to reject the offer OR perhaps more beneficially, the city should reject the offer and ask for what it wants at the same time, and play the negotiation game.

edit: I read your profile, and I get you're a lawyer, and that you're technically right that it has no `legal` responsibility to counter ... That mentality doesn't get either party anywhere.

Like the unshootable Nighthawk stealth bomber in Belgrade that was taken out by a SAM. Of course the f-22 has no equal but I wonder just how much this stealth edge is going to last.

Somewhere someone is sitting on a slush fund to figure out (or have figured out already) how to detect stealth and counter measures.

I guess it depends on where you fly. The routes I fly to Europe and South America are typically 5-7K although I have seen less. It also depends on what type of business class seat you want. If you are fine with the older style reclining business class seat you cloud fly Copa for $3500 or even less sometimes. If you want a modern lie-flat product like Delta One or United Polaris than you are going to pay a bit more. I typically can book in advance though.
Air New Zealand already offers the Skycouch, in which an additional portion of the seat folds up to make them wider and you can lay across all three seats: https://www.airnewzealand.com/economy-skycouch

I've flown on it once. It's not as nice as a real bed, you can't fully stretch out without sticking your legs into the aisle, but it's a heck of a lot nicer than trying to recline in a normal economy seat.

I don't know exactly how much it cost, since someone else had bought the tickets for me, and may have used frequent flyer benefits to offset the costs. I think you basically pay the cost of each extra seat, so it's not cheap, but cheaper than upgrading all the way to business class to get seats that recline all the way to flat. If you have someone you're comfortable sharing with, then you only pay for one extra seat for the two of you.
I’ve been really into the nRF52832 lately, a newer chip from the same company as the nRF24LE1 mentioned in the article. It has BLE, and you can find dev boards with all of the IO pins exposed for $5 (sometimes $2.50 on sale) on AliExpress, or impossibly tiny ones with chip antennas (six fit on a dime!) for closer to $15.

I just realized that the ones I have sitting around have roughly 64x the RAM, 32x the storage, and are (VERY roughly, I had trouble finding compatible numbers) 2,000 times as powerful processors. There’s so much more they could be doing!
> It's the exact opposite of YAGNI. It's attempting to build the ultimate end-all be-all up front. No wonder tunnel building is expensive, and all the projects wind up huge and bloated.

The cost of making an incremental change to software is not appreciably different from incorporating the change in the first place. The same does not hold true for infrastructure; even a minor retrofit can end up being very expensive, especially if there was no provisioning for it. Look at the impact of the Rosslyn station on the DC Metro: the only practical solution to the capacity issue is to bore new Blue Line tunnels and a new underground station, which can't be had for less than ~$1 billion. Provisioning to solve this at the original system construction would have cost somewhere in the region of $300 million or so (there are other, much cheaper alternatives that can't be built with the current track geometry).

By saving $300 million, you're ultimately setting yourself to spend 3 times that much in the future.

> If a larger tunnel to Dodger stadium is needed, why couldn't it be dug below, with the old tunnel used to carry infrastructure for the new tunnel? That seems a solvable technical feat.

Undermining a tunnel is the easiest way to do this, but it requires closing the old tunnel to do. Digging a new tunnel immediately underneath an old tunnel is going to introduce different stresses on the old tunnel, which is going to be more of an issue if you're boring a parallel tunnel rather than a cross tunnel. Furthermore, all of the access points now have to go deeper to reach the new tunnel, which could introduce passenger circulation issues. It will also have passenger circulation issues during construction.

Maintaining access to existing infrastructure during construction is complex after all.

In my mental image of this layout the plane has 1/2 seats and 1/2 bunks. People who want to sit take a seat. People who want to lay down take a bunk. I always imagined it as open ended boxes so you have to climb in kind of awkwardly, but you don't have all of the seatbelt issues. I also imagined a little curtain you could close to block out the light if you want.

Evacuation would be a problem though, especially for people crawling out of the bottom bunk. I've always assumed the evacuation problems were the reason this has never happened.
That seems to completely ignore market segment and organic trust, which many of the 'influencers' actually garner. That is if your a car youtuber, or paramotor youtuber or makeup instagrammer your audience is highly focused and the influencer not seen as compromised by big sponsorship appear more genuine, "if x wrenched on that tool that hard and it works for him it does for me". Maybe it doesn't matter how 'powerful' they are but where they wield their power... in that moment.
That seems reasonable, but the compensation ranges I've been seeing aren't 0.9-1.1 x a reference salary, they seem to range from 0.3x (crappy consulting) -3x (HFT) the compensation of a mid-range FAANG position. With that kind of variation, it's very possible that compensation differences could overwhelm a normal sized difference in culture quality.
> People typically need to be facing/laying along the axis of flight for the seatbelt to work. If you're laying at 90 degrees and there's a big (de/a)cceleration and you have a belt across your waist, you get folded in half hanging off the bed.

I thought airplane seatbelts during cruise were more about controlling vertical movement than horizontal movement. At least, the strongest sudden accelerations that I've experienced under those conditions, and the strongest ones that I've heard about, were vertical.

I am not talking about the redistribution of wealth per se. I'm talking about the footwork needed to get to the place where we can even begin talking about it. I'm acknowledging that it's difficult. That it needs some hard answers to wicked problems. Something a lot of people ignore in their "eat the rich" rhetoric.

And I'm not really advocating for any sort of change. I'm just saying if you want this, you need that first. If you want "a fair and rational distribution of wealth", you are first going to have to explain what that means to you, why it is fair, why it is rational, why it even needs to be done, and do it in a way that convinces me.

And to the point of fortune of birth, we're all affected by the circumstances of our birth. We're not all created equal in all aspects. Is that fair? Don't know, but it is how the world is. Some people are born taller, prettier, smarter, richer. When you get down to it, there is a large degree of our existence we didn't "earn" by the metric we judge inherited wealth.
Thanks for the detailed response! My wife and I are contemplating some large life changes and also feel like the way we've set up society is not actually the best way to live.

It's not low hanging fruit by any means. I'm guessing it would raise the Asian American population by 10s of % at all the top tier schools.

The set of students who are both poor and almost meets Ivy League standards is most likely very Asian. IIRC, universities have made the argument that financial affirmative action would not work for racial diversity (implicitly because few poor students who do well are black or Hispanic). Generally, this set is competing with the privileged black and Hispanic students who under perform compared to their socioeconomic background. Removing affirmative action would displace almost exclusively rich Hispanic and black elites with a mix of poor Asians and some rich Asian/white elites.

"Many jobs seem to have a net negative value for society - soda, highly processed food, credit cards, car dealerships, (most) sales people, etc."

Rubbish.

Soda taste great, I love it. Don't tell me what is 'good or bad for me' - I can figure that out.

'Processed Foods' feed the world. They're not fundamentally unhealthy, can can absolutely be part of a decent diet.

Credit Cards - are an amazing financial innovation. Consumer credit is a really big deal that helps grease the wheels. Wherever there is no good consumer credit system - the economy is crap.

Car Dealerships and Salespeople - they definitely serve a function and it's why they are among the highest paid. Most people still like to test cars. The car industry relies on the model of dealerships and Tesla riding without is just like a new airline entrant just running only the profitable routes, and not carrying the longer tail ones. Also society has changed a little bit so admittedly the model could adapt.

All of those thinks you mentioned could be improved, and can be risky, but without them we'd be much worse off.

Very active, very interesting times: lots of scientific breakthrough, development of recent theories, lots of experimentations, while a great part of science is still, and for the last time in history, rather accessible. Travel to the whole world is possible, if you can afford it, while exploration is still possible and a few discoveries are to be made.

Railway transportation everywhere in the most remote places, like mine. 3 times as many people and 10 times as many shops as now in such places. Not everyone packed in gigantic conurbations with abandoned places elsewhere.

Education, hygiene, medicine already pretty developed (not as much as now, and not as well spread, but much closer to now than to the middle ages).

Technical knowledge and devices available (or very soon to be) to ease hardest works.

Great times if you were wealthy. Shitty times if you were a miner, or one of many factory workers, or a peasant in the wrong place. Quite okay times otherwise.

(I have similar height and shoulder issues.) It may not seem like it at the back (economy class) but different aircraft are different, and sometimes airlines also lay them out differently from each other. For example look at the Boeing 777 initially released in 1995. At the time economy was laid out 3-3-3. Nowadays most airlines use 3-4-3. That is the difference between a 19 inch wide seat on Singapore Airlines, and a 17 inch wide seat on Emirates.

The aircraft to watch out for the most is the Boeing 787. With one minor exception, they all have one more seat in each economy class row than Boeing originally intended. In general the comment from those of above average height having been on one, is that they will never set foot in a 787 again! The Airbus A350 should be mostly alright on most carriers, but you will need to double check.

A weak rule of thumb is to favour Airbus over Boeing, as their cabin widths and historical choices have tended to result in wider seats in Airbus aircraft. In the US there are efforts to get regulation of seat sizing (under the guise of "safety"), and airlines are trying various things. But someone in the US who is ~1.9m is in the 95th height percentile. It is hard for airlines to cater for that last 5% without a negative economic impact.

I don't think Android is a good starting point for an operating system. And the big elephant in the room doesn't go away. If most Androids are Google Androids, and developers don't want to write their app three times, they're going to write it for iOS and Google Android, and not actually-open-Android. So either you aggressively do not maintain compatibility, to which developers still develop for Google's platform instead of yours, or you're stuck trying to maintain compatibility so devs release apps on your platform, which means you're still beholden to do whatever Google wants.

You might as well start clean with an OS designed for the modern era, Android's over a decade old now, and it shows. You're stuck with the app gap either way.

That's true - there are definitely verticals where what you're describing is really advantageous.
ISS travels at a very low orbit which the earth’s atmosphere does a great job of keeping clean. They occasionally manover around anything large enough to be a significant issue. On to of that space is huge and largely empty even at the speed they are traveling.

Micrometeoroid impacts happen fairly regularly, but they're usually not energetic enough to make a hole. For example, there was a instance in 2012 where one hit a window: http://www.spacesafetymagazine.com/space-debris/kessler-synd...

But as that incident shows, such impacts are often relatively benign - in that case, they didn't even need to replace the outer layer window.

The hull is reinforced with four or five layers of shielding - the above article has a nice diagram:
https://i2.wp.com/www.spacesafetymagazine.com/wp-content/upl...

This means the usual consequence of a micrometeroid impact is pitting of the outer layers that may not even be noticed.

For larger objects that present a serious danger, the US Space Surveillance Network attempts to track them and predict
"conjunctions" with a zone around the ISS which extends 2km above and below it, and 25 km in each direction on the orbital path. Anything that's expected to intersect with this zone is analyzed and may result in the station being moved to get out of the way. These are mostly due to space junk of human origin. In 2013, there were at least ~70 of these "conjunction notifications", although this results in only about one move of the station per year, on average.

There's a description of how these cases are handled at https://arstechnica.com/science/2013/07/how-nasa-steers-the-... :

> "Any object with between a 1-in-10,000 and 1-in-100,000 chance of colliding with the station meets the "yellow" threshold. Flight rules say that the station must be moved out of the way in response to a yellow threshold object unless such a move results in a mission impact—"Like, if we do the burn, we're going to miss an opportunity to launch a Soyuz, for instance," explains Parris. "Do we delay the Soyuz, or do we do the maneuver?" A "red" threshold is assigned to any collision with a likelihood of between 1 (in other words, absolutely certain) and 1-in-10,000. Flight rules are more strict for maneuvers in response to red threshold objects: the station is always moved for a red threshold object, regardless of mission impact, unless a maneuver represents more risk than not maneuvering (for example, if there's a piece of equipment that's damaged on the ISS and a maneuver would exacerbate that damage)."

This doesn't help in the case of meteor showers, where the Earth is travelling through a zone full of small debris, typically caused by the trail of a comet. In those cases, the station has to rely on its shielding, but the debris sizes in those cases are almost all within the limits that the shielding can handle.
