He did suggest an alternative: order earlier.

Plane crashes are very rare, but train derailments are not. Unexpected bad weather closing off routes to trucks is not. Natural disasters closing roads and airports is not.

Some small percentage of shipments will be delayed, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. If you need something by a hard deadline, and it is going to be shipped other than perhaps locally, then you must order early enough that if it is delayed you have time to seek an alternative source that can still make the deadline.

If you use Prime two day shipping timed for delivery on your deadline, you will eventually be screwed because you won't find out about a shipment glitch until it is too late to switch to a backup other than picking up at a local store that stocks the item.

Money quote:

an FCC spokesperson said comments from the general public are “generally not substantive, so thus have no impact on a rulemaking.”

There you have it. So the number of comments is useful only when it helps make whatever point they're trying to make.
> Your comment is ableism at its finest.

No, it's an internal locus of control. If I went into the Disability Olympics I'm guaranteed at least the bronze. Believe you me when I say we could share some war stories about how the world is not set up to accommodate everyone.

That said, my point is that this is not the place to discuss that. It is not acceptable to go into a thread about people who did die in a way they could not have foreseen, and try to force the discussion onto people who could have died. Especially when your scenario hinges on poor planning and reliance on a known unreliable service for critical needs.

You're claiming ableism and saying that the world does not accommodate you, while callously downplaying the lives that were lost by people who were trying to do exactly that. If Amazon deliveries are what you rely on to survive, how can you brush off the deaths of those working to bring you those goods?

I suspect she was mainly talking about "no one pedal driving" as novice mode -- and I think it's a mistake to turn that off for novices, because it's something that drivers quickly adapt to having. And then love.
Note that I said nothing about morals or being morally elevated. Just that what you said could have been a line from Silence of the Lambs.

I think it's our automatic defensiveness about having our morals questioned that leads to all these strange, weak arguments (e.g. "powerful psychological effect to eating meat").

Instead of doubling down on our position to mentally justify our possible transgressions, one alternate possibility is to recognize the real negative impacts of our actions and work towards limiting our meat consumption and promoting substitutes.

As an aside, based off of what you said about falafels and shiitake mushrooms, it sounds like you maybe haven't tried a lot of common meat substitutes that are already difficult to distinguish from processed meats (things like Morning Star Grillers Original that I've gotten from a bunch of grocery stores).

Narcissists are a danger to everybody, but the consensus seems to be that narcissists themselves would be happier if they were treated. It's a pathology, so I don't think there's any problem with pathologizing it. How to treat it seems to be a largely unsolved problem, though.
Anybody have a recommendation for an A/B testing service?

We've talked to Optimizely but their pricing was going to come in at the same ballpark as our AWS spend (into the six-figure range), which seems absurd. They charge based on monthly users, but a lot of our traffic consists of organic search bounces.

For now we just want to run ~5 experiments per month, want to record events server-side so we can be sure not to lose any, and are wary about implementing it ourselves since there are so many ways to screw it up without realizing it.
I'm not sure what the big deal of this is. I've been using a password manager for many years now, and have no idea how many total passwords I have, nor do I care. I don't ever look at the full list (only search it), and there's really no cost to having lots.

In fact, many times, I've gone to a site for what I thought was the first time, and was surprised to see I had an account already. If I had done a purge, I probably would have deleted a bunch of sites like this. My account would still be there, but inaccessible.

I also use a unique email for every site (via a catch-all subdomain), and in the past couple years, also started making random usernames for any sites where I don't care about the username (eg, no social component). This helps protect me from compromised sites, because I can block the email address if I get spammed by it. I think I've only done that once in the past 15+ years, though spam filters also really make this a non issue for me the days.
I'm just starting to look at Tree-sitter; that might qualify as a state of the art parser that could use a few tricks.

While true, it's worth noting that mandatory auto-rotation training is due to the fact that helicopters are inherently unstable aircraft whose turbine engines have the habit of stalling at the worst possible moment.

> "The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces and controls working in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying immediately and disastrously. There is no such thing as a gliding helicopter. This is why being a helicopter pilot is so different from being an airplane pilot and why, in general, airplane pilots are open, clear eyed, buoyant extroverts, and helicopter pilots are brooders, introspective anticipators of trouble. They know that if something bad has not happened, it is about to."

Imagine if we did that with software generally.

Every time there's a data breach, an agency would investigate with the same thoroughness they do in aviation.

Then, National Geographic could have a spin off show called Data Breach Investigation (their aviation show is called Air Crash Investigation in the UK, I think it's called different things in different Countries.)

Aptana.org Hacked?
This is nearly 20 years ago. Were CGI and PHP really up for the tasks of serving up the type of dynamic pages at scale 2 decades ago? The "content" (articles) might be largely static but the pages are not, with dynamic ads, weather reports, showtimes etc. Not to mention getting non-technical people to adopt the language easily, transitioning from print publishing workflows. Do you not believe them when they say existing language and solutions weren't working?

String manipulation is notoriously slow in the BEAM, mostly implementation reasons.

Message passing is somehow slow as well, slower than go(Lang) of you want a comparison.

But on those systems, the one that you design on the BEAM, velocity is usually not a problem. What you usually try to do is to reach a design that does not have a single bottle neck or failure point so that pretty much whatever happen you can just add machines.

This turn out to be a great way to design multi{processes, cores} and multi nodes system.

What you usually get on a BEAM under load is an 100% of CPU usage, even on multi core, but to be honest those core are not used as efficiently as you could.

It is a matter of tradeoffs, I can quickly write multi process software that can easily scale, but I will leave on the table some raw performance number.

Again it turns out that just raw numbers are not as important as they are simple to measure.

Only if the real ATC really, really drops the ball.

It's happened a few times, and leads to an immediate "who the fuck was that on this frequency?", and that's likely to result in the pilots in the area treating it like a comms outage.

We would be limited to 20 pieces of software that were very reliable.

Since order and ingredient category does matter for some cocktails, you could really geek out on this a lot farther, and take it way off the deep end... categorize by liquor base, by mixers, by sweet or savory flavorings, by solidity, by acidity, by temperature, by water/ice content, by garnishes, etc., etc., and then use edit distance on trees rather that on sets.

There are tech shops that use these sorts of techniques for every major incident, and for collections of related near-misses. If you want to improve past 4 9s reliability, or if you're considering taking traffic that could wreck a life if it availability or secrecy fail, that only seems appropriate.
My take on it is that it just boils down to what your highest insights are about what is important in life. If you believe that the maximum we can hope for is just to be sophisticated animals, acting in a sophisticated jungle, aiming for more sophisticated forms of animal goals (gain the most power, impregnate the most females etc.) then through that particular filter, indeed honesty doesn't necessarily pay off and dishonesty can be just another good tool in the toolbox to achieve king of the pack status.

There are however those who aren't content with just being sophisticated animals. They want to to dive into the depths that no animal can reach, and that requires self-honesty, and uncompromising honesty at that. And there is no way you can truly be honest with yourself while being dishonest with others, for reasons which become evident once you walk this path. This path (if traveled to its full extent) pays way more dividends than any benefit gained from prizes given by the sophisticated jungle. So, whether honesty pays or not, really depends on what sort of existence you seek.

Faking fires: Get better incident management with practise
That's an interesting response, and one that would make sense from a vegetarian. But you ignore the main point of my reply: I eat meat with the ramifications of my actions in full view, and you eat meat even though you find the thought of the animals previous life and death comparable to the musings of a serial killer. Then, having made that comparison, you suggest that you weren't discussing morals.

What, pray tell, was the point of comparing my motivations to those of a serial killer, if not to make a suggestion as to the morality of my reasoning? I welcome a discussion of morality; I'd hold that it's key to the matter of eating animals.

(As to your aside, I've tried a number of those products, and they are just fine. So is homemade seitan. But they provide a different experience from meat, for the "strange, weak" reason I related above.)
By judging all the strings in the client frontend, their help website, and my interactions with the support team, Discord is being run by some rather immature people.

To raise chickens you need a hen. Add a rooster and you're now the proud owner of a chicken farm. Seriously. Ideally you'd setup a roosting spot for them. And you can tweak their diet to increase their production, growth, etc but chickens 'free ranging' with very minimal support is how they were cultivated for millennia. The one and only problem you run into is that roosters are very loud. The point is that anybody can start raising chickens with very little cost.

'Meat substitutes' are going to be grown in fairly sophisticated labs and sourced from artificially reproduced or otherwise obtained cells. And it's not going to taste like e.g. chicken once the cells are grown. The taste you know from various meats is a product of that animal's physiology and diet. The meat will also not have the same texture. So once you grow your cells in a lab you then need to artificially flavor them and then artificially generate a meat-like texture. The upfront costs for this will all not only be very expensive but there will also be a minefield of intellectual property, patent, and other such barriers all throughout the field. This is why the first artificial meat companies are working on is hamburger -- you can simply grind up the cells and then dump in lots of flavoring.

I expect we'll see the same thing happen to meat that happened with genetically engineered plants. The entire industry will be rapidly monopolized. And our new 'Meatsanto' will undoubtedly lobby the government for favorable treatment which at the minimum will include them being able to label these artificially flavored and textured cells as simply 'chicken'. Add in artificial undercutting of prices and other incentives and you'll see Meatsanto gain more and more marketshare, perhaps including licensing their technology to ranchers now put out of business. And it's at that point, once the monopoly and dependence is established, that they begin to squeeze their new monopoly and start printing billions.

I think there's a pretty simple rule of thumb. Centralization leads to wealth inequality, decentralization leads to more equitable wealth distribution. When you add barriers to entry, you create centralization. As an example of this consider shoes. At one time shoes were an industry that used to support countless thousands (millions?) of cobblers, apprentices, and their local market interrelations. It's now been replaced by a small handful of multinational corporations that produce billions of shoes worldwide at immense profit margins. Of course in exchange shoes are undoubtedly now higher quality than they've ever been, and you can pick up a reasonable pair of shoes for a few hours of minimum wage, but I do not think more affordable shoes positively affects wealth inequality as much as removing immense number of jobs and redirecting all proceeds to a handful of companies does to negatively affect it.
The problem with this analysis is lack of depth. Changing any step of the recipe (the ingredients, measurements, temperatures, cooking vessels, order of operations, even presentation) can result in vastly different products.

Firstly, you need similar measurements. Second, replacing one ingredient for another affects the chemical composition that directly influences the perceived flavor (sweet, bitter, sour, salt, fat). Third, the physical acts of stirring vs shaking affect texture, temperature, and dilution all at once.

All this would need to be added to the model to begin to approximate actually similar cocktails, and not just a comparison like "Hey, you can take the sugar and eggs out of cake and make bread!"

(The fact that the author conflates sweet and dry vermouth is also not great; that's like confusing a Riesling with Extra Brut Champagne)

Incidentally, Amazon does this. Particularly, they've adopted into the culture the concept of "good intentions don't work, mechanisms do." A decent summary can be found at this link:

http://nickfoy.com/blog/2018/4/7/good-intentions-dont-work

For example, if an admin bungles a copy/paste shell command and it causes an outage, instead of punishing the admin for not wanting hard enough to do it correctly, they'll change the process so it doesn't rely on admins copy/pasting shell commands.
So we don't actually need passwords. For many services magic links are better (imho)

I've seen a press release where Amazon replace all packages when a small van got into an accident 15 years ago. Since the plane crash is national news they'll likely track the shipment tracking numbers and resend replacement packages free of charge.
The FAA has a tendency to punish deliberate acts or serious lack of judgement, i.e. "I'll fly under this bridge, it'll be awesome."

When mistakes happen by accident, they tend to give people lots of slack to encourage honest accounts so that they and the rest of the community can learn from the mistake. This is the reason behind things like the NASA form, which is sometimes seen as a "get out of jail free" card. You write a detailed account of what happened after certain kinds of accidents/incidents, and if they conclude that you weren't being too stupid, or it wasn't a repeat issue that you should have learned from, they'll skip certain minor enforcement actions against you.
While 5M concurrent chat users is definitly a massive feat, it seems to me that it's kinda this tech (Erlang) very sweet spot and not being able to do so would have been disapointing. Or am I missing something ?
I prefer the crowd-sourcing safety of a completely open channel. Everyone is listening to everyone and can intercede if something weird is happening, including other pilots. Having a completely private channel but stolen credentials (we are all aware this happens all the time) means that you have to completely trust the voice on the other line.
