What's your threshold for packing "too much"? Do you believe that everybody should be able to get by with an under-seat bag? Or are you pretending that the overhead bins are large enough for everyone to bring a standard piece of carry-on luggage?

Either way, it's still possible to check smaller pieces of luggage, and if most passengers could do that economically then loading and unloading the plane would be a lot quicker, saving the airlines non-trivial costs.
Another relevant paper on low MLP in this case shared-memory graph algorithms (http://www.scottbeamer.net/pubs/beamer-iiswc2015.pdf). It would be interesting to see whether Cimple can significantly improve performance for graph algorithms (the paper does mention it as a potential use-case).

For anyone curious, I'm not affiliated with the authors of the paper. It's scheduled to appear at PACT'19. AFAIK the code is not publicly available yet.

Too low a thrust?

I thought that on airliners pilots input runway length, altitude and wind strength and direction, and the computer optimized the thrust accordingly?
I don't really care what's in my luggage or how much it cost to check a bag but they the delays to get back my checked bags are killing me (when they don't loose them)... much quicker to keep everything with me.
We need more of this. People think privacy is not an issue because “they got nothing to hide”. But the real privacy problem is that data about you that falls into the wrong hands is very dangerous.

And it’s not only identity theft. It’s making burglary easier if someone knows when I’m on vacation. It’s making kidnapping easier if someone knows where my kids go to school. It’s easier to lure me into some scam if someone knows What I am into...
Because you can't just wave a magic wand and cure all of someone's problems, and because being a heroin addict with a reliable, legal, relatively safe supply is probably a lot less bad than being a heroin addict without that.

And why are you assuming that these people are not getting any other help? The two aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, not having to deal with all of the risks and stresses of scoring illicit drugs probably makes it significantly easier to make improvements in other areas of your life (which, as well as being a good thing in itself, might in turn make it easier for you to kick the addiction).

Absent convincing evidence to the contrary, it's entirely plausible that this approach is doing a good job of getting people off heroin, as well as improving the lives of those who stay on it. The fact that some people remain addicted doesn't undermine that.
I actually did this back in 2008 with two (1u Dell servers). It actually worked pretty well.
Let's go a fit further. We know that power corrupts and therefore the powerful often cannot be trusted.

So the power a person/institution has should be be inversely proportional to the amount of privacy they enjoy. We can start by only voting in politicians that wear personal cameras a la 'The Circle'. (Some police already do this while on duty.)

Of course the irony is it would take a kind of power to make this happen.
Ward Mundy's nerdvittles blog had a recent overview of the SIP/VoIP market. [0] Looks like he currently recommends Vitelity, VoIP.ms, or CallCentric.

Ward's PBX in a Flash projects (business class features on a raspberry pi or in the cloud) are also fun if you really want to go down a rabbit hole.

The flight attendants don't clean the toilets during the flight. They may do some tidying up but it depend on the carrier. Probably something to do with the hygiene during the flight because they are also serving the food.

Maybe they could switch clothes and scrub themselves well, but it seems that it's not just done.
I think it's not appropriate to generalize. How many such incidents happen?
Require companies that sell online to offer an open API so it's easy to aggregate? Sounds nuts, but not that different from open banking (PSD2) in the EU.
Lol they are both true; that’s my point. The market is securing an agreeable outcome for both parties. It’s literally a win-win scenario. The airlines are finding ways to carve out more value for their customers in exchange for their business. This is eminently desirable!

I think your real issue is against the increased cost of air travel and the inconvenience it poses for travelers who are unwilling or unable to compromise by trading off luggage for price. It sucks, but it’s not “greedy corporations”; it’s just economic reality.

I don't quite know what the purpose of the spammers using neighbor spoofing is, because generally if you actually respond to those calls, they hang up on the other end. Maybe it's fishing for potential victims that they'll target with another method?

The nature of the scam spam though probably relies on the ability of the victim to call back, so those numbers are not spoofed.
Same here, I have had severe anxiety and depression for quite some time. I was prescribed a few SSRI's bet, but my doctor was a dick and pretty much state I need to just get out and do more, get my mind off shit.

So on trying to improve my mental health I started taking nootropics. Some of them people SWARE BY, yet I never experienced any noticeable effect. But by chance I ordered a batch of Magnesium L-Threonate and it was absolutely exhilarating. I can honestly say I've been dosing for about 6 months now and it's completely turned my around. I don't suggest anyone experiment with supplements and/or medications without professional assistance. Because this was more like one of those one shot wonders, where you just chance it till you find whatever works.

Being safer in general isn't. Being safer while also being a psychologically acceptable substitute for smokers - this is the achievement.
While it's been a really long time since I had a Keurig, I seem to remember that they used around 200°F water, and when I had one of the little "use your own grounds" containers for it, if I got the water-to-coffee ratio right it it was...decent. While it brews fast, it brews under just a little pressure, kind of like an Aeropress.

That was before Keurig had been bought by Green Mountain, though, and it seemed like they were trying to manage as good coffee as they could out of K-Cups. They were contracting mostly with specialty coffee roasters, and the K-Cups were filled with nitrogen to try and preserve the flavor. There were a couple I found that I did actually like, although I don't know if I would if I tried them again. :) My impression is that Keurig's quality control has gone down over the years, certainly with the machines, and one suspects the coffee.

I've heard of Sudden before -- positively, from people who really care about coffee -- but haven't tried them. I probably should. I've taken a few trips to places where the nearest good coffee was quite a distance away. :)

>"[local powerful family shoots guns to celebrate, police let them do it because that family runs the region, OP hypothesizes it is a 'cultural thing']"

I don't know if it's cultural in the sense of "the collective members of our society feel it is customary to have a BBQ on July 4th", but I think even the USA has similar power dynamics.

For example, a lot of our cops in the USA can get away with speeding, with being rude, with giving out harsh tickets for relatively harmless offenses. It happens because a certain few individuals control the power centers of American society, and they are unopposed.

It's not that Americans have a cultural belief in praising or supporting or tolerating this kind of behavior. It's that 99.99999% of Americans have no power to change it.

So, like, in summary:

Cultural thing = Middle Easterners like couscous and shawarma and Adnan music.

The counterfactual to your argument is just as appalling, "You don't deserve to live here because you aren't from here". You had to be born somewhere, and some of us had the misfortune of being born in a place where they no longer want to stay.

"If you remove rent control without having more housing being built already, the people who have been living there since before the tech boom will have their rents raised astronomically, to the point where they will become homeless"

There is no empirical evidence to support this position. This is one of the few points that the economic profession has come to a consensus on. Rent control creates far more problems than it solves. Both people can live in the city if the market functions properly. The supply of housing exists, you are just choosing to not utilize it effectively by enacting rent control.

I know I am unlikely to change your mind based on the facts that I have presented. I don't want to belittle or ridicule you. I sincerely believe that you want to do what is right for the public at large. If this is indeed the case, I hope you can do some more reading on the subject and will believe that you come to the same conclusion that many others have. I am not denying that some people will be negatively impacted, but if you look at the net impact you will see that more people will benefit regardless of their income level by the repeal of rent control.
Sustaining the Underfunded (open source labour not supported)
Toilet use is definitely linear in respect to time in my experience. 9 hour flight is very different from 12 hours. Many people want to 'hold it' but longer the flight less of them will.
As a non-technical user, if it were to be simplified like Nutritional Information, I would expect broad categories risk that receive either a check or no-check for the possibility of exposure. IE:

X Authentication
X Financial
X Communications
X Property

Or such, so I can be aware at-a-glance that my user name, password, credit card information, private messages, or personal documents may have been compromised. I wouldn't be over-informed into oblivion, or at least not as likely to be, if the information available were suitably informative-yet-terse. Like a nutrition label.

However, that's just my pie-in-the-sky desire!

Pragmatically, as a technical person, I'd personally be happy with regular release notes of product revisions, including SaaS products, and which are paired with a technical-oriented blog that details the notes in further clarity for the technically adept. The role of journalists can step in here, and appropriately severe information will spread much as it does now.

The upshot is that technical folks like us may learn a thing or two via such an open communication. If everyone did it then there would be less fear to do it and there would be more information avaialable about common risks and their mitigations.
I have had a similar experience. Magnesium lowered my anxiety and made me feel 10 years younger. My sleep is better too. And it's so cheap, yet none of the doctors mentioned it. I only discovered it by chance, when I bought a tube of effervescent pills to sweeten water while travelling (didn't trust the taste of water where I was going). So many schooled doctors, and yet none of them made such a simple suggestion!

Another wonder mineral is Calcium. It relieves my back pain. I have learned when I need Mg or Ca by the way I feel, so now I am OK without abusing them. I just pop one when needed.
That was kind of a selling point, and what I'm essentially suggesting is it should be the case to some extent, out of concern for public health benefits. You shouldn't be able to vape everywhere, but e-cigs shouldn't also be more banned than regular cigs.

(No conflict of interest here; I'm not, and never was a smoker.)

How Yan Lianke Became China's Most Controversial Satirist
I agree with you entirely.

Fwiw, however, the top reddit commentor feels that this specific paper is bullshit science:

So, i'm currently reading through the paper (and i'll leave comments where appropriate), but the immediate thing I noticed when reading through the Methods section is that one of the antibiotics they used as a general comparator is ciprofloxacin (Cip), which is also a herbicide.

It's a dual herbicide/antibiotic, as it inhibits DNA gyrase activity in both plants and bacteria (we use it fairly often in our plant lab as a growth inhibitor).

I feel like, if not controlled for, this could mess with their results.

Edit: Whoa, that's a bit strange. In their Culturing Conditions section, they state they only used Cip with the bacteria and not the other antibiotics.

That is definitely going to mess with your results.

It's more complex than that. When every page out of given category (e.g. news, shopping) makes the same decisions, you don't have anything to say except not to use them at all. Not read the news (easy) and not participate in discussions your friends have about those news (harder), or not shop on-line (hard), etc. The situation persists because on day-to-day basis, our need to use a particular product or service is greater than our discomfort with it.
That sounds odd. The whole point of lockfiles is that they _do_ lock your transitive dependencies.

> And your first quote is a trick on how to extend one's intuition, not abandon it!

Can you elaborate on this? Do you mean that the point is 'to free up your intuition, abandon your hope of truly visualising this stuff, and make do with a hybrid of simplified visualisation and abstract thought'?
I am the main developer of the MathPiper CAS (http://mathpiper.org), and I forked it from the Yacas CAS in 2008. MathPiper is a rewriting system that is similar in design to Mathematica. Most CASs don't solve elementary algebra equations the way humans solve them by hand, so these systems can't show the steps they took in a form that is easily understandable by a human.

However, a few CASs do solve elementary algebra equations the way humans do, and the most famous of these is probably PRESS (Prolog Equation Solving System). The story of PRESS's development is an interesting one.

In the 1970s and 1980s, a group of artificial intelligence researchers led by Dr. Alan Bundy at Edinburgh University conducted research on how computers can be "taught" to solve elementary algebra equations the way humans do. The first thing they did was to try and figure out exactly how mathematicians do mathematics. They were surprised to learn that a significant number of the techniques that mathematicians used to perform mathematics were not written down anywhere. They were not in any textbooks, nor were they in any journals or research papers. As the researchers dug deeper, they discovered that the techniques did not have names, and they were not taught explicitly. The researchers concluded that mathematicians were using these techniques unconsciously. (Alan Bundy. The Computer Modelling of Mathematical Reasoning. Academic Press, 1983, p.164.)

Why were these researchers the first people in history to discover this information? I think it’s because computers were the first "students" in history that absolutely refused to learn any mathematics that was not taught explicitly. The researchers then devoted years of effort to discovering and naming the unwritten techniques that mathematicians used to perform mathematics. When they "taught" PRESS these techniques, it was able to perform mathematics similar to the way humans typically would.

The step-by-step solver I am building is based on PRESS, and here is an example of what I have working so far:

It's possibly even worse than that.

I read a comment on HN that they decided to use a random word like "banana" as the answer to a security question like "What's your mother's maiden name?" Within a couple of days, the bank called his house and spoke with a different relative to get the real answer.

Please. Spice Jet is perhaps second to only AI in sucking in all aspects of a good flight. They get delayed, their service is bad - you press the air hostess button, she comes after 5 minutes, then takes another 20 to get you that glass of water with a look that says they you're indebted to her. Food served is average at best and pathetic in almost all flights of theirs. Check-in counters filled with girls that talk too much and focus more on being pretty than being fast.

Ok... what information is required in the API? You can't possibly describe every possible differentiating characteristic of a product in an API... even for a specific case like airlines, there are countless differences. Plane type, baggage limits, weight limits on bags, leg room, in flight entertainment, Internet, food, drinks, etc. you want the law spelling out what needs to be included? What about other industries? New ones that are being created? What happens when new features are added that aren't in the api spec? Internet wasn't a thing on airplanes 10 years ago, so it wouldn't have made it in the spec, but now internet access is a huge differentiator for flights.
In my country such a database has existed for a long time. It's the national id database. It's controlled by national police. Everyone of us owns an eight digits number. As for me: identity is a right, not some secret that I want to hide.

Oriental philosophy has had a lot to say about names and their vacuity, but at the same time constructed its own extremely elaborate abstractions and conceptual systems. They don't give due credit to abstract and conceptual thinking though. It's not like we can understand the world any other way, we have to use names and abstractions, but apparently that comes in conflict with spiritual practice. I think the practice of stopping abstract thinking during meditation is a way to escape from reality into a self induced stated of peace, but it does nothing to help you solve practical problems, for which you would still have to engage in name based conceptual thinking.
