I’m not convinced sensor redundancy is the issue. The plane has two sensors; for some reason, however, the package that includes the AoA disagreement light costs extra.

It seems that lack of training and documentation was the reason these planes crashed though. The pilots didn’t know how to recognize the issue or resolve it.
If you look inside a persons mind, an ironic racist says racist things simply to make fun of people who get too easily offended by racism. Someone who is actually racist says those things and also believes them.

Ten years ago, in white suburbia, saying “nigger” was worse than murdering someone. It was clear that a social feedback system had developed where the least racist person was considered most virtuous, leading to people doing all kinds of rediculous things in order to be least racist, the denial of common sense and logic and true statistics became like a thorn in the mind of anyone who was not swayed by herd mentality.

It was in this atmosphere of deadly seriousness about racism that it became outrageously funny to say racist things. Just like every other anti-racism effort by white affluent people, it only made everything worse and made racism funny. I guarantee that without this atmosphere of hyper-anti-racism, people would not have been saying “nigger” on early 4chan.

As 4chan got more popular the average iq went down and the proportion of people that really meant it increased.
Are you saying those three things are unhealthy?
One thing to note is that this performance tradeoff is actually the reverse of what it was ~20 years ago. This is because CPU speeds have improved dramatically more than RAM speeds over a similar period.

Open addressing does do more comparisons than chaining. It used to save time to traverse the linked list rather than to spend CPU cycles on those additional comparisons. Now, because CPU cycles are relatively cheaper, the opposite is true.

The reason the Qt and Java hashtables use chaining is simply that the code in question was initially written back when the tradeoff ran the other way.
So for a counter factual example, what if you could legally download all of Renaissance Technologies source code? How much would your company be worth?

You still need to hire a team, implement the hardware, understand the nuances, and also build up datasets of trade history, etc. What once in theory sounds easy, might not be as simple as you think.

Facebook and Twitter have the users, old content and built social networks. They have data on user patterns, relationships with advertisers, etc. I don’t think it would be as simple as you think.

For a wireless-focused distro, there's also pentoo[1].

I prefer customizing a general purpose distribution to my own liking vs. using a dedicated "hacking" distro, so maybe I'll always miss it but: what's the point of this? The author concludes their review with the following:

> Bottom line, an SDR toolset is a must have tool for both the hacker looking to penetrate targets and for the security conscious sysadmin who performs their own security audits.

But, as I see it, they undermine this point in the paragraph immediately preceding it:

> The only drawback is the lack of classic WiFi hacking tools (aircrack, reaver, wifite, kismet, …) that would allow us to have a definitive workstation to own all of the airwaves.

The tools which are highlighted to make SigintOS stand out against something like pentoo (easy-button IMSI catcher, GPS spoofing) seem significantly less useful for 99% of engagements than something that makes dealing with WiFi "easy." I'd love to know the application of these things in engagements if anyone has feedback. Are they cool? Sure! Whether they're generally useful is less clear.

I've witnessed something similar, and I later discovered the person was developing schizophrenia. It seemed like the drugs were setting him on a bad path, but I believe he took them to self medicate in retrospect. I suspect that's fairly common now.

He's still very intelligent, but all of his mental resources are wasted on fighting his illness so to speak. To some it might seem like he ruined his brain with drugs but I sincerely doubt the drugs did much damage at all.
And listings like that are... what percentage of the total listings? 0.00001%? I bet there are more shared rooms on Craigslist than there are on Airbnb.
Your problem is that you don't have an American passport, you have a United States passport. It would be pretty nice if American passports would exist.

I think you mean sui iuris (legally autonomous) not sui generis (a unique case).
I think the confusion on charging comes in with the case - you "charge" the airpods by keeping them together in the case. You charge the case by plugging it in. The case has about 24 hours of battery, so I charge the case about once every two weeks with around 2 hours a day of conference calls/podcast listening. I generally hate having a wire attached from my laptop to my ears because it inevitably will get snagged at least once a week.

Also for my use case (calls) you can charge while listening by using only one bud at a time.

I have many pairs of headphones, wired and wireless, but I just ordered a new set of AirPods because they are simply the most convenient headphone I've ever used (Presuming you use primarily Apple products.) Far from the best sounding - but I've found for a general use headphone they are more than adequate.
Fair enough. I clarified because the days of editing code in some dependency of yours are over; it's not easily exposed for that purpose (but you can do it ;).
Is your question rhetorical? In case it's not:

1) Web applications make it easy to require monthly subscriptions, which many people don't like but is great for companies

2) Web applications can be more easily monetized through ads

3) Web applications can be updated for everyone more easily than a bunch of native installs, potentially reducing support costs

4) Web apps are a solution (not the only solution, but probably the easiest solution) to cross-platform development
Different people's brains process information in different ways. Others are better at absorbing information through text, and yet others need hands-on experience to learn something. There's a reason for the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words".
> I like the Debian solution to this, which permits freeform textual suffixes, so that in the hypothetical scenario above, you can release v1.2.3bigco1, v1.2.3bigco2, ...

Go also allows freeform textual suffixes, it just needs a `+` in there: v1.2.3+bigco1, v1.2.3+bigco2.
Does anybody really prefer that?
Is there actually any software compelling enough to make the hardware worth the expense? After the wave of interest that followed the release of the original Rift petered out, most developers seem to have dropped VR like a hot rock...
That is a pretty poor definition of hotel. Just because someone is renting out their second home/vacation home/in-law apartment/whatever doesn't mean they're corporately controlled. Many normal people in America own multiple pieces of property, especially in rural areas.

If we're only talking about cities, I totally agree though. I've stayed at a couple of apartments that were bought solely for airbnb use, and managed along a dozen other ones by the owner.
I'll check this out, thanks, this gets to the granularity, though I still wonder if our languages, to date, are primitive, and blocking us off from thinking of categories different from 'system'?

That's a great point about the demo. I'm hoping to put up a more polished demo in the near future (with the help of more a talented video editor than I), and I'll definitely include the audio.

Some form of mandatory alternative civilian service may be of use here in the US. Hypothetically, 'cutting the apron strings' may improve physical fitness, national identity, common understanding, and widen the shared views of the conscripts. Here in the US, the Vietnam war was the most recent event where nearly every family and citizen was affected and were forced to interact with each other.

Anecdotally, vets on campus tended to be more 'serious' than ones that were not drafted. That said, most vets would have elected not to have undergone the experience regardless of their level of involvement in the war.

Also, the costs of such programs are very high. If you look at military conscription today, it is limited to countries with small populations or ones that are actively threatened. Mobilizing, feeding, housing, and caring for nearly 450,000 people is not an easy task. The net benefit of this conscription is ambiguous as well. Denmark used to use their conscripts in the care of the elderly and in wildland firefighting, but has since degraded that from their service. Doing so here in the US may be of benefit, but not at the costs that would be sustained. Such work is better left to the professionals, typically.

I'm not even close to an expert in this field, but a cursory look at it suggests that the cost/benefit ratio is not close. However, the same can be said of nearly any educational endeavor, yet we know that on a decadeal timeline it pays for itself many times over.

Do you mean one of those cases that wrap on the outside of the original? If so, how much bulkier are those? Thinking of getting one since I have a mostly unused Qi charger on my workdesk.
Increasing the number of housing units doesn't solve the problem though. What is to stop people with money from buying those up and then Airbnbing them out?

Those "landlords/property investors" have enough cashflow and collateral to continue to expand their portfolios and get lines of credit to do so, which puts 'normal people' looking for housing at a disadvantage.

In high-demand housing areas, there needs to be more housing regulation to balance the businesses vs. individuals. It's good that there are cool places that encourage visitors to temporarily stay and spend locally, but there are also people wanting to live there that would also spend locally. The property businesses are making such a $/day killing on Airbnbs that they would rather keep that system than rent units for people to live there (and have to adhere to all the landlord laws).

Airbnb is a convenient loophole that offers more money with less effort as long as demand is high.
Google isn't a single person. They're already more likely violate some laws and regulations just because they're so big. You can't double dip by treating every small infraction like it's a huge company-wide problem.
No, they have to lead. In some of the worst cases there is more than a full second between pressing a key and hearing a sound. For fast music that can be several beats.

Learning an organ means you need to learn to trust the instrument (not easy when it is a mechanical beast with many parts that can fail) and feel what the music will be not react to what it is.
Nope. I just launched ubuntu.exe running Ubuntu 18.04 WSL on Windows 10 Pro latest stable release and it was the fastest terminal I ever used besides xterm on native Linux.

I do have Windows defender disabled. I'm not sure if it scans every key press though, but it will bring WSL's output to a grinding halt.

I use WSL / wsltty / tmux / terminal Vim (in WSL) as my primary dev environment. It's really solid, even with 1.5mb to 5mb markdown files. Vim uses about 8mb of RAM and a few % of CPU when typing. VSCode used 800MB of RAM and 50%+ of my CPU to open and idle in the same markdown file with 65%+ CPU load when typing.
I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree about most people thinking critically. I don't have anything other than personal experience to justify my position and a quick Google search wasn't able to turn up any convincing studies.

Group cognition (from a quick skim of a Wikipedia article about it) doesn't seem to justify lack of individual critical thinking though. It seems to be more like a term to describe a process, like "memes" and "idea viruses". It doesn't substitute for individual critical thinking.
You don't eat 3.5oz of bacon in one sitting? Casual. (/s)
Good point. This is something I bet most non-pilots don't know. A pilot can actually damage or destroy an airplane through control inputs alone. In fact there was a case of a pilot intentionally destroying his airliner by rapidly slamming the rudder back and forth, but I can't find the flight reference now. And there are other examples, such as AA flight 587 where the large control inputs were causal in the crash that killed all aboard.
I wanted to like the Rift given their more comfortable hardware, but the Vive was so much better (I had both briefly).

- Full scale walk around the room support

- Touch controls (at the time the oculus was still using xbox, though I've heard their new controllers are better)

- Oculus headset intentionally leaks light through the nose

- Vive had an external facing camera (not a huge feature, but nice to have)

Has the oculus improved at all? This wasn't even considering the Vive Pro.
92.7m+ tags!! How did they annotate the images? Was it done manually by humans or a neural network?
The argument is that propagation (and consumption) encourages those who generate such things to keep on going since they see there is a market for them. I guess kind of similar to banning sales of ivory to kill the market, and in turn, reduce or wipeout the incentive for the hunters.
What are your concerns? Are you aying that your values are subect to change, or am misunderstanding you?
No, you don't need to fork/replace everything in the chain. A `replace` in the top-level `go.mod` applies in all places where that package is used.

Doing a fork/replace on everything in the chain will have no affect; `replace` is only obeyed for the top-level `go.mod`, `replace` in dependencies is ignored.
As a current Rift owner, this seems like a bit of a lateral upgrade:
- IPD is fixed.
- LCD display
- Can't track hands behind you
- Narrower FoV

It seems this is comparable to the many WMR headsets already in the market. I would hope that the simpler design helps bring down the price though, I could see this overall being cheaper to manufacturer.

It would be nice if they would start waiving import tariffs for electronics
Kind of amusing they hide it that way, seems like a good way to get AROUND any local zoning or anyone to identify folks who are buying up units wholesale to rent them out.
> skeptical of the amount of automation the big manufacturers are pushing

We need to come to terms with automation as a civilization, lots of things that had a human in the loop will no longer have that person in 0-15 years. We don't realize how important these people are, esp their inaction and delay are very important at damping oscillations. As these automated systems start interacting they will have similar results as the MCAS but without pilot agency.

Look at the panic stops built into financial markets, what systems should have similar that currently do not?
> Organ players have to deal with that kind of latency on their instrument[1], but it's a hard skill to learn, and limits the music that can be performed on the instrument. Say, following a drummer is out of the question.

Field musicians (marching band, drum & bugle corps, etc.) have a similar issue because of the sheer size of the "stage"; the distances between performers is large enough that the speed of sound actually causes notes to be off-beat to the audience if they're "on-beat" to the performer.

Instead, each performer has to basically ignore one's own ears (at least for rhythm; one should by all means use one's ears for matching pitch, though in theory a sufficiently-fast-moving performer might need to pitch up/down relative to what one hears to account for Doppler shifts) and watch someone up front (e.g. a drum major). Even in non-marching settings (e.g. your typical orchestra or symphonic band or even rock/jazz/etc. band), the percussion section is typically positioned rear-most on the stage for this exact reason (and in this case, it is okay to listen for the beat, since the sound of said beat would be coming from behind you).

So for an organ player (organist?), your best bet would be to place the drummer behind the organ, then give the organist a mirror to watch the drummer's sticks and keep time with the visual beat. That way, by the time the organ's sound actually comes out, the drummer's sound will have arrived and they'll be in sync (assuming you have the distance right between the drums and organ; this is something you'll probably have to tune for every stage, given air-pressure-related differences in the speed of sound).
That was the idea, just to reciprocate what Brazilian (or Latin American citizens in general) have to do to get a visa for the USA.
If Trump had the power to censor bad websites, think about how much effort he would currently be putting into censoring any website that talked about him badly.

You don't even have to buy, you can throw down a security deposit, drop $1000 at ikea, and airbnb all month and make rent and more. You don't even have to ever step foot in the unit or meet a single guest; there are interior decorators and cleaning services that specialize in Airbnbs and you can stick the key in a lock box and change the password between stays.

>If it were easy to report abuses to Airbnb directly

They have made plenty clear that they don't really care about how people near the rental unit are affected. They will never make this happen unless "NIMBY impulses" put enough pressure on them to do so.
A lot of good comments. I just wanted to point out that the last line in this article states 'Why do investors fail to learn the harsh lessons about risk, even though the consequences of them still remain so fresh?' Speaking about the past market problems, if no one is held accountable why should change occur?

In fact, companies generally apply extremely difficult filters before hiring engineers and go to great lengths to keep engineering headcount as low as they can. Nobody is handing out tons of jobs to people out of bootcamps with no previous formal training.

I know both these statements to be categorically false because I know a number of recent bootcamp "graduates" in the LA that were offered jobs straight out of graduation. As in, pretty much all of them. Most of these guys wouldn't have cut it as junior programmers before the "scarcity crisis" but right now they're making $75k/year coding React apps.

The recruiter spam you are receiving for coding jobs that don’t apply to you is not evidence of much besides the widely known inefficiency of tech recruiters. They’ll spam out recruitment emails to just about anyone, but ultimately won’t actually present you for the roles.

The coding jobs do apply to me, in the sense that they're for roles I would have qualified for and possibly considered back when I was still coding. Moreover, they aren't "recruiter spam," they're contacts from when I used to program.

In general in tech there is a huge, huge surplus of applicants (especially in my field of machine learning).

Ah. This is the problem. We're both talking about different fields, so our experiences are going to be different. For developers, there's a scarcity crisis and a lot of companies (though not all) will hire almost anyone. For ML, it appears there's the opposite--possibly because ML was oversold to graduates as the next big thing.
There was a control cheese, at least.
These are great points. My two cents: I think there's potentially a lot more behind this product than just the face value of game streaming. Amazon is growing their compute power with aws, and other people are paying for this. Google needs something similar to grow their compute resources, and to lower risk by also having others pay for it. It's an arms race for compute power. With stadia Google will have an advantage over Amazon in gpu resources. Amazon could grow gpu resources by getting into the video rendering business with massive shows like Lord of The Rings to finance it. The other big win for Google imo is having this be a passion project for good engineers to pour their energy into
Visa reciprocity requires the agreement of both countries who are prepared to address the implications for visa-free travel between both countries.

Unilateral waivers for visas from certain countries are generally in a bid to increase foreign tourism and business travel and retain domestic tourism, while negating the need for complex negotiations and bilateral considerations.

I don't think you can make this an argument against people who are coming to this from the perspective of animal rights or animals having feelings, because without other considerations the logic "it's better for an individual animal to be born for the purpose of being slaughtered than for it to not be born at all" would seem to apply to homo sapiens as well.
Sure, but the satisfactory resolution would be that the airbnb host gets the guests to shut up quickly (say within 10 minutes): that's not possible without extra costs and hassle that makes people give up on renting out altogether.
