> Thanks for the reply. How much do the athletes you train practice?

Some 30 hours a week in the off-season. Additionally, many have off-season jobs to make ends meet. Pro sports isn't all what it's cracked up to be. Not all of them play on TV.

> Do you think the exclusive focus helps their performance at their sport?

Likely.

> Do you think competition selects for people with mental health problems, or causes mental health problems?

Yes.

> Is there a noticeable difference between athletes who burn out in a few years vs. the ones who have long careers?

Genetic ability first, preparation second. If you are an extremist, you might get preparation to exceed your genetic lottery ticket. But I've only seen that happen once.
Catalogues. Toy shops. Newspapers. Libraries. The visual and structural meaning of these would be highly more enveloping of the imagination and the only source for curiosity. Definitely different times.

Interesting idea, not sure whether there's any similar anthropology theory.
Since I don't use it often enough to have it memorized, I have a little printout of the NATO phonetic alphabet that I grab when I need to spell something over the phone.

One of my best friends, the best man at my wedding, nearly had this happen to him. He was born and raised in Australia but had dual citizenship with Denmark. During a gap year after school before university, he travelled to Denmark for 12 months. He was surprised to find that he was being conscripted but managed to avoid this due to not being fluent in Danish. It seems that if this had of happened in South Korea then he would have been out of luck.

For some weird reason Suse sees a lot of use in European countries with less English influence, but I haven’t seen any exact numbers in years.

In my country (Denmark), most enterprise runs Redhat, but my personal opinion is that Suse would make more sense after the IBM purchase, especially for public sector usage.
There is a long list of errors and omissions, which contributed to these accidents, but the bottom line seems to be software development malpractice. MCAS system was designed by Boeing and certified by FAA to keep operating with wildly diverging data from two AOA (angle of attack) sensors. Reports indicate that AOA was the only sensor type MCAS was using. There have to be at least 3 AOA sensors to have some level of reliability in case of a single sensor failure. MCAS should turn itself off in case of large difference between two AOA sensors readings. Whoever wrote and certified that code bears at least some level of responsibility.

Takeaways from Apple and Qualcomm's big patent fight
when you have immutable data structures by default you get the additional assurance that other places in the code that previously used an input to a function can continue to work with their data without needing to worry that it might have been changed by its use by a function elsewhere, since that function cannot modify the data, only return a new 'version' (through structural-sharing)
People, even dual citizens, are often under the mistaken impression that having another citizenship is a "get out of jail free" card for the obligations of the other one. This is very much not the case.
I don’t follow anything that isn’t people I know and meet at least semi-regularly in the real world. I’ve actively unfollowed a few of them (shhh), but my feed can go a few days with no updates from the 90 people I’m down to.

But of course that’s my anecdotal view. I just never saw the point in following a company or a news paper on a social media.
My I ask what you studied and where?

I'm curious because I did a Master's (CS) at a Dutch university (Eindhoven) and my experience was the total opposite. Lots of students were involved in extracurricular activities, there was time for study and time for fun, people generally seemed mostly relaxed.

I'll concur that the program was a bit of an industry mismatch in that they don't teach software engineering but academic theoretical computer science, which has at most 10% overlap with what programmers in industry do. But I suspect that holds for most Master's programs out there (doesn't make it less ridiculous of course).
of course, if you prefer the 'anything could happen!' universe, have it at! And good luck to you

The common way these are "cracked" is that the C&C server - which observes payments and hands over keys - is itself compromised.

There are a lot of news articles I read about people "cracking ransomware encryption" and, aside from some early versions that had basic crypto bugs, I'm extremely suspicious of anyone claiming to do so. There are a number of companies I'm aware simply pay the ransom, then charge a huge markup to claim they "cracked the encryption", so it's better for their business to support the view there are elite hackers somehow breaking RSA every time ransomware uses it.

Happy you've been happy.

I'll add another thing to my experience in Australia. As an immigrant, I'm not covered by national health care. Taxed at a higher rate, plus paying for a visa, and a small fortune if I apply for a PR... and they do nothing to cover me during this time period. Employers don't cover people here, so all I can get is private insurance.

But... private insurance doesn't really cover anything for a year after you pay for the tier you want. So you can get like just emergency coverage -- things like simple ER visits, but things like minor surgery, or anything they can deem is a "pre-existing" condition will take a least a year of paying premiums before you're eligible for benefits. Things like an appendicitis are not covered, there's a cap of like $5k or something on everything in the first year. Luckily I didn't need much coverage... but I'm the best plan I can find here, and if you get seriously ill the first year you're over here you're really just fucked. There's medical screening before your visa can be accepted, but they don't at all cover you if you get in trouble here.

An American friend needed hernia surgery, and he had to pay entirely out of pocket because his insurance wouldn't cover it. Health care... not like it's a regular service you can price compare when you need treatment. You just say, "Fix it!" and I think it cost him something like $18k to have the surgery. Mind you he had health insurance, but, again, it doesn't cover anything the first year you have it.

And it's next to impossible to get anything around mental health covered, even with the top tier private insurance here. Want to maintain your prescription of Adderall? Good luck finding a doctor here who will give you a script. It's all pretty shitty. On top of that... it's all a digitized system, where the government gets full access to your records. There's a question on the visa applications if you've ever seen a psychiatrist. The lawyers strongly caution you not to answer yes on it, as it supposedly makes it harder to get a visa approved... but since it's all data the state has access too... pretty hard to keep any of it a secret.

Anyway look, is the US perfect? No, and I've never been through immigration in the US. But the Australian system is pretty far from perfect. Take people, put them a billion miles away from their friend and family, and then penalize them for getting homesick and seeking mental health... that's insane. (=

I've ranted enough, but a lot of this strikes home for me. I've come to the other side of the world so I can score my long-term medication, medication that something like 10% of the people in the US are on, illegally from prep school kids. That's my experience with the Australian system.
Thanks, apparently this has been one of my less popular comments. I saw quite a few people in the comments before i posted asking if their charge/apple/whatever monitor was accurate and it's likely better to manually check heart rate to see if it's accurate, as opposed to going off random internet data on whether a device is trustworthy.

Monitors tend to be potentially less accurate than manual apical pulse when there is an arrhythmia present, the gold standard for any cardiac is auscultation, aka stethoscope, for a full minute by trained professional.

Medicine is really complex is the short version. Also Sinus Arrythmia is not uncommon.

The overall best glass is probably fused silica. I doubt you can find it for anything other than high-end lab gear.

The best glass for shatter resistance is the stuff used for large telescope mirrors, but that too would be expensive and I think somewhat easy to scratch. The scratch resistance would dramatically improve with a sapphire coating, as is done on the laser scanner windows in supermarket checkout lanes.

Metal doesn't really qualify if you want something transparent. I've noticed that it is very difficult to find stainless steel that is polished on the inside. The outside is normally polished, but I'm seldom trying to clean food off of the outside.

Stop Using `rm` in Bash. Use `del`
We’ve all had our fair share of accidentally removing files. Instead of

rm my_file.txt

or

rm -rf my_folder

we do

del my_file.txt

or

del my_folder

where you can define your Bash alias for `del` in ~/.custom_aliases as

function del() {
mv $* ~/.Trash
}

which simply moves your files/folders to the trash such that you can recover them easily later.

What’s your alternative?
This was a Data Science program by TU/e and Tilburg hosted in Den Bosch. To be very honest I saw friends at TU/e relating well with their program and even manging trips to Spain while the folks in my program very occupied with mostly procedural assignments and struggled to find time to go out for drinks. This could very well be a one off thing because my program had a huge number of drop-outs through the first and second semester.
You need to heat the air in winter and cool it in summer. Some office building operators simply minimize the air exchange to show saving to their superiors.

Same goes for buses in my city in summer. Drivers get a bonus for savings on gas so the aircon is turned down to bare minimum and it is suffocating inside especially as bus gets crowded. And opening windows is prohibited.

Electric trams on the other hand have aircon to the max so it is freezer temperatures.

One of the reasons I bike.
For a pilot ignorant of MCAS, what he'd see is uncommanded stabilizer trim movement. The training says to stop that by throwing the stab trim cutoff switches. They're prominently located on the center console.

The pilot of the same airplane on the prior flight to the Lion Air crash did just that.
> It's missing the fact that the 0.01% are so ridiculously wealthy already because they control fabulously profitable enterprises, and they keep the produced value of those enterprises with insufficient distribution to everyone else.

What do you consider "fabulously profitable"? Take a peek here for a reality check:

https://insight.factset.com/sp-500-reporting-record-high-net...

A "record high" average profit margin only equals to around 10% and at least theoretically that needs to balance out the bad years.

> Absent cheap-money, they'd still be in a inequitable position that wouldn't correct itself on its own.

Of course inequity will remain, even if everyone lost 90% of their paper wealth, the ratios remain the same. However, you're implying there is a problem with inequity, I submit to you that you need inequity.

If all the money were to be expropriated and spread out to all the people, there is nothing left for investment. Individually, the money just doesn't amount to much and it would likely be consumed right away, or used to pay off debt. Over time, that money would accumulate at the top again, but in the meantime, you would have an economic disaster.

Of course you could have the government do all the investment, but that just means you shifted all that inequity from private individuals (who at least in theory will use their money somewhat wisely) to a bureaucracy which has no incentive to be efficient.

The real problem is that we have a monetary policy that protects poor investment. There is no need for private individuals to manage their wealth properly, to make informed investments, etc. All they need to do is put their money into diversified stocks and real estate, because they can rely on the governments bailing them out if things go south.
In the case of runaway stab trim, this is not correct. Runaway stab trim is trained for, should be obvious, and the corrective action is in the manual and pilots are trained to handle it.
> the program was a bit of an industry mismatch in that they don't teach software engineering but academic theoretical computer science, which has at most 10% overlap with what programmers in industry do

The important thing to remember is that the goal of an university is not to prepare you for what you do in industry, but to teach you fundamental knowledge about a topic that helps you adapt to new challenges (also in industry) and even more important university should teach you how to approach and understand new complex concepts by yourself.

If you want job preparation the best thing is an apprenticeship program (i.e. learning on the job) or maybe a specialiced practice focused college/trade school.

Granted, I think most day to day programmers don't need a CS degree.
I only accept CS papers about it, do you have one at hand against Java favouring some random FP language instead?

Yup. We use it as well. Quite reliable, easy to upgrade without issues (unlike Ubuntu), easy to configure with yast. I was missing some packages we use for deployment and backup and openSuSE build service came in handy for creating a custom repo. The only issues we had were with old HP hardware. LEAP 15 even has a system that lets you rollback updates but it only works with btrfs (uses fs snapshots) which we don't use out of caution.

"Few companies have changed hands as often as Suse and yet remained strong players in their business."

"Strong players"? What quantitative evidence exists demonstrating that SuSE has any more than a marginal and insignificant share of server or desktop installs?
Actually it does, it prepares the public for the notion that more drastic measures are needed than chin-stroking over the problem another few decades. People going like "oh it will be fine", are losing credibility year by year. Specifically, anything involving burning coal and fuel is rapidly becoming unpopular and is likely to become heavily taxed. This has already happened to the point where it is happening even in places where that would have been considered the least likely to happen not so long ago.

7 billion people won't individually be able to fix this but they can be nudged the right way collectively. Articles like this may be thin on facts but they do help. Admittedly, the Guardian is preaching to choir here of course. Their readership doesn't need a lot of convincing.

Anyway, whether you are a believer or not, buying real estate on the coast requires a bit of risk assessment these days. Places like Florida are mostly within the risk zone. So Republican state or not, they are going to have some issues there and the necessary infrastructure (e.g. dykes) won't build itself.
* Winter Wakes Up Your Mind--and Warm Weather Makes it Harder to Think Straight - Scientific American || https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/warm-weather-make...

"Despite this minimal deviation in temperature, the researchers found remarkable differences in cognitive functioning. In one lab study, participants were asked to proofread an article while they were in either a warm (77°) or a cool (67°) room. Participants in warm rooms performed significantly worse than those in cool rooms, failing to identify almost half of the spelling and grammatical errors (those in cool rooms, on the hand, only missed a quarter of the mistakes). These results suggest that even simple cognitive tasks can be adversely affected by excessive ambient warmth."
Agree. Not having 3 sensors is an objectively bad decision.

Why did they keep the system on with diverging data?

It will be nice to know what are the risks when MCAS is off. Maybe x% of pilots used to the old 737 consistently stall the plane on the simulator.

I don't believe these people are 'cracking the encryption'.

Any virus writer is going to know how to use public-private crypto to encrypt the files in a non-reversible way. Only an amateur would use a basic XOR key or reverseable encryption with the key embedded in the binary.

Another commenter suggested the C&C server gets broken into. I doubt that too, since the criminals private key can sit entirely offline - all they have to do is periodically check for cryptocurrency payments and then publish the keys for the users who have paid to somewhere like pastebin, IPFS, etc. No real way to track the computer doing that, let alone break into it.

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Buy some sunglasses. Make sure they have polarizing lenses.

2. Get a computer monitor.

3. Holding the glasses in front of the screen, rotate them until the angle is such that the screen appears black when looking through the lenses.

4. Make a note of the angle. In this configuration, the combination of the glasses and the screen serves as a homemade polarimeter.

5. Throw all that shit in the garbage.

6. Just look at the glassware edgewise, if it's greenish it's soda-lime.
The system does not necessarily need triple voting. Many aerospace systems are only primary and redundant. There are two highly trained human pilots aboard who can detect and isolate faulty equipment. And my guess is that these high level software requirements originated with an aerospace systems engineer, not a software engineer. Clearly that high level requirement was flawed (especially in a human factors sense), but we need to remember that passenger planes are not designed to be fully autonomous.

It seems only one AOA sensor is currently used by software. The update will change that.

"The company said it will change the MCAS software to give the system input from more than one AOA sensor. It will limit how much MCAS can move the horizontal tail in response to an erroneous AOA signal. And when activated, the system will kick in only for one cycle, rather than multiple times."

The 707 issue you mention is not relevant to this. The yaw damper is, and was put in to correct dutch roll instability. I believe all jet airliners have such a device installed.

Airplane design is constantly changed throughout production. This is normal, and Boeing knows how to do these things. Re-engining, altering wing shapes, doing stretch versions, all are routine. All airplanes have instability issues, and there is no indication that the crash was caused by an unknown aerodynamic instability.
