> I was mourning the fact that despite all the mind share, all the talented developers, they didn't manage to produce an OS that just works (tm).

We have ~10-15 major active contributors, and with that, we can basically compete with "Desktop Linux" in terms of functionality. Not everything works or is polished to the degree we'd like ... but it's nearly there.

So then who is the one wasting the "mind share" -- the Linux DE space, with its hundreds of developers spread across dozens of projects, or us, who can do basically the same thing with a fraction of the time and resources?

> Politics however have so many other, non-solution/problem based variables, that are very, very hard to overcome. While I agree with Bruce, we first need to recapture our politics for the people in the country, not politicians.

The main way to do that is for you to get involved. If you do not, someone else who might not see that as a problem will, and the problem you despise will continue.

Edit: It's not even hard to do, if you're dreading to meet people. There's an app out there that (exclusively) helps conservatives organize grassroots movements and increase their voter turnout. Last I checked there still wasn't any liberal or libertarian equivalent. If you're into either of the latter, you can get involved and help your favorite political flavor build an equivalent app.

I think it's fair to expect people to think morally. It should be the default way of thinking, not something you spend energy on.
Podman and Buildah have registry push/pull built in, so technically you don't need Skopeo except in CI. (Honestly I'm still a little unsure what Skopeo's ideal use case is.) Podman also has a `build` subcommand that takes a Dockerfile, so I'd argue if you're on a development workstation where you only use Dockerfiles to build containers, all you need is Podman. (Buildah supports more interesting build pipelines that can be driven without a Dockerfile.)
I think this perspective might be your own personal biases at work... this pattern of adversarial business relationships seems to be fairly evenly distributed across the globe. I would go as far as to say it is likely just a fundamental human behavioral tendency when it comes to dealing with scarce resources.

What's the reasoning here? I've tried to talk landlords down by less than a month's rent when taken over the course of a typical year lease, been told to shove off, only to watch the unit go unrented for months until they finally drop the price.
exposed to 70dB, which is well below the threshold for damage.

70 dBA is at the threshold for hearing damage (65-70 dBA range). It's below the OSHA limit of 85 dBA, but that is not the threshold for hearing damage, it's the threshold for acceptable [0] hearing damage.

[0] where "acceptable" means that a person exposed to 85 dBA for an average of 40-hrs per week for 10 years can still understand conversational speech in an ideal environment.
My understanding is water in US is generally very safe. I've been drinking tap my whole life. My understanding is human body can filter out or otherwise deal with small amounts of metals and other stuff, and that most city water systems are sufficient.

> I suspect their work optimizes around a relatively narrow band of supported hardware.

Not by design, but just by circumstance -- we developers optimize for the hardware we have and use, and not many others tend to submit patches, so that's the way it goes.

> asked to push a button any time they feel the urge.

Still completely inconsequential choice. Nothing is going to change in lives of these people based on this choice. This is not a "free will"-type of choice people usually think about.

I think this all started with Sam Harris using this argument in his crusade against free will, and some people just picked it up without giving it a second thought.

The argument is that if the choice is unconsequential (like thinking of a random city or pushing one of equally meaningless buttons), Sam sees that as somehow being the "most free of a choice you could think of". But it is the complete opposite to how the real world and real life works!

I would argue that choosing which school to go to, which career to pursue, which food to eat, which person to spend time with - those are real choices, that's where the free will is used. In choices which have consequences. Choices that matter. Choices that require using the consciousness, not appropriating its gargantual power as being a glorified random number generator. Not in a choice that requires no effort, and can be forgotten the moment it is made, because it will have no consequences whatsoever.

Good luck making those real choices being predictable by a computer. When a computer can predict what career I am going to choose or who am going to hire (given real viable choices) - then we can come back and talk about free will. Of course at that point, by definition, we have Strong AI which can predict almost anything and the world will be completely different, beyond our wildest imaginations because we can't see it behind the veil of technological singularity.

These experiments say nothing about free will. (Of course the papers themselves don't pretend to either, just the sensationalist journalists weakly versed in popular philosophy.)

They should ground all 737 Max (350 have been built so far) until investigators understand fully what caused these two crashes and a fix is implemented (if it is proven that there was fault in the plane itself).

It's highly unusual for a plane that has been in operation for only 3 years to have two crashes shortly after takeoff.

I certainly won't be taking any flights in them until a thorough explanation emerges of what happened on these two flights.

And Boeing PR should stop saying that the planes are safe (they recently put out a statement affirming it's safety). At best, they should say "we don't yet know, and are investigating".

I'd argue we are full of memory.

When I was younger, around 19 or so, I contemplated death for the first time. I grew up religious, Catholic, and always believed that you go on after death. This was the first time I imagined the truth.

It stunned me. I couldn’t sleep. I could NOT imagine non-existence. It terrofied me.

In the next few years I learned more about the world and grew far more comfortable with my place in it. I don’t feel nearly as puzzled about nonexistence as I used to.

For me, I see myself as a cell in a greater body — humanity — and I see humanity as part of an even greater whole, the universe. Does a single cell worry about its fate after death? No. It merely does what it is supposed to do, does it well if it can, and then ends gracefully when its time has come.

I feel the same way about my own life. I am part of a whole, humanity at one level, the universe itself at another. I do my best with the limited time I have; I do my duty; and then I die.

I have grown quite comfortable with this view of life and death over the years. It gives nonexistence found at the end of life its appropriate meaning. It is the natural end of a temporal life.

Waymo Will Sell Its Short-Range Lidar, Challenging Industry Leader Velodyne
This isn't really a language issue. This is strictly at the level of browsers having a very complicated and ad-hoc concept of permissions deciding when a page should be allowed to make requests to, and to which, servers. We could have a richer permission model api exposed to whatever language we were using (so only certain white listed scripts tags would have the ability to make requests for example); but we don't. In any case, this is going to be at the DOM level, which isn't really part of javascript.

Pages could have more control (via a header manifest or something) over tracking and permissioning based on where particular scripts come from; but that's not the model we went with. All scripts get put into a single executor and namespace. Now, this isn't an irrevocable choice, but a browser still has to support existing pages that would still be vulnerable to fun XSS attacks.

Yeah it totally sucks when you were accustomed to externalizing your business costs onto others but now you have to pass those costs on to your customers. I mean sucks for the customers, not for you (you earn the same) or for the people no longer paying those costs (with their hearing loss).

Wasn’t that about perfectly healthy people being forced to die against their will?

The specific episode I referenced it wasn't so much about perfectly healthy people being forced to die against their will, since the character in question intimated quite heavily that their species had made a conscious decision that this is how their elderly would "pass on".

He repeatedly made it appear as if their species treated it as an honorable affair, and that it was a celebration.

Further in the episode, his daughter comes onboard the Enterprise and expresses that she does still love her father but is ashamed of him for defying a long standing tradition.
So I'm not sure if it's a matter of anyone being "forced" in this case to die before they may emotionally be ready to.

The episode kind of plays on this through the meta-narrative/"B Plot" of the character (Timicin is his name, by the way) working to revive a dying star and save his species, after the entire episode and all of the build up, his experiment ultimately fails, dooming the star to die anyway, his planet doomed to the same fate.

The episode routinely ruminates on the concept of death as a choice, only once do we see an instance of what could be called 'force' when Timicin's government demands he comes back and undergo the ritual suicide, but even they finally relent to his wishes and tell him that if he wishes to stay with the Enterprise and continue living, he may-they wont pursue him further, but he will effectively be disregarded by his society and his scientific achievements effectively destroyed.

The takeaway, I believe it was Picard who noted that sometimes death must come in whatever manifestation it comes, even if we feel it's something that can be stalled by wit, intuition or will-this happens during the scene we see the experiment fail and the cast comes to the realization that there may be nothing that can be done with current technology to save the local solar system.

Timicin ultimately makes peace with it, as does Counselor Troi's mother (who fell in love and didn't want to see him throw his life away), and realizes he can still die in peace and allow his contributions to flourish with younger generations of scientists who might be able to learn from his research and keep their local star from dying out for good.

Why would you assume that "Free Will" is something that can be proven/disproven? Something that is in the domain of science?

To clarify the question, what kind of scientific experiment would you even imagine that would even resemble something producing evidence for or against free will?

(These experiments talked about in this topic do not at all fit it: they just show that there are conscious and subconscious parts of our experience of life and our experience of the process of choice. In what world would that be related to the degree of "free-ness" of that choice is beyond me. I thought we all knew already that there are conscious and subconscious parts of the brain and that many of activities of "I" are subconscious.)
It could be that the interaction between the two factors (poor safety practices by an airline and the lack of disclosure by Boeing) increases the risk.

Suppose that steering in a new car model tends to drift from the straight line slightly more than usual.

Attentive drivers would easily correct for it, and would merely find it annoying. For them the accident rate would increase very little if at all.

OTOH, the accident rate might go up more noticeably for those who text while driving, since they often won't notice the drift until it's too late.

When you look at the accident reports where steering drift was a factor, you'll see that most of them involved distracted drivers.
"The system has been designed to ensure that voters' computers are not infected by any kind of malware that could change or block their vote."

I'm sure this cannot be subverted by an attacker with the resources of USA/China/India/.., or with access to the supply chain from the chip fab onward (don't forget about malware hidden in USB cables!), or or,...

And you'd have to be dead sure, because, unlike with physical votes, there will be few-to-none signs of subversion. You can vote physically, but what do a few physical votes matter when the attacker can change the vote of 30, 50, 70% of the population.

And how do you change the system, when all parties promising to do so can't get enough votes?

The cap ratio is based on base rent, rather than rent times occupancy. Especially if you have multiple properties, lowering the rent on any of them will negatively affect the rent on the others.

This is especially true in commercial real estate, where your other tenants (e.g. in the same mall) sometimes have a "most favored nation" provision - if anyone else gets lower rent, they do too.
But I understand in this case we are talking about a brand new aircraft.
