I had an organ teacher that (gently) reprimanded me at a lesson after I exclaimed, "But it went great while I was practicing!" after making some mistakes while playing through a piece. Yes, I might have learned it to the point that I could play it well under no pressure, but I hadn't learned it to the point that I could do the same during a lesson—let alone a performance.

Even with pilots aware of the MCAS system, I don't see how anything short of simulator time can really make these planes safe.
> if you're arguing that restaurants that implement a ticketing system lead to a decline in quality or actual dining experience, then you'll have to provide some evidence.

I am not saying that this has happened, only that the pay-in-full-in-advance model removes one of the incentives that keeps it from happening. It may be that the removal of this incentive won't actually change anything, I don't know.

> These aren't one-off encounters

In the case of high-end restaurants, they often are. Not very many people can afford to be regulars at the French Laundry.

> If the food or atmosphere is bad, then a fine dining place won't last,

Maybe. But at the extreme high end, a restaurant can let things slide and coast on its reputation for a pretty long time.

Restaurants I book through OpenTable almost always call to confirm I'm coming

Very interesting. Perhaps it's regional. Based on the number of $100 credits I've gotten, I must have booked hundreds of times through OpenTable, and I've never once gotten a confirmation call.
You are creating an emotional burden on your recipients, that they need to satisfy your need for satisfaction. That's not a gift, that's an investment in your own ego.

Sure, you should learn what someone wants and try to target that. But denying someone what they know they want because you want credit for thinking of the gift idea, that's self-centered.

> But in the world of today, where all of those diseases are extremely rare--precisely because of such a huge fraction of the population getting vaccinated in the past--the probability of catching the disease if you aren't vaccinated is much lower. So now even a much lower probability of some kind of harm from the vaccine itself can justify not getting vaccinated.

I think this is also a good example of the exact opposite point, however, that there is a decline in authority.

What you describe here is a rational assessment of risks, but it is also a collective action problem: the individual risk of infection is low precisely because everyone else vaccinates their children.

A Nash equilibrium generates a suboptimal outcome, where disease prevalence increases to the point where the perceived risks are equal. Worse yet, this has negative externalities for others, such as those too young to take a vaccine or who are allergic, since they can no longer rely on herd immunity.

Collective action problems like this are usually resolved with some kind of coordinating authority. In some environments that authority can be normal social suasion, but in others it needs to be explicitly regulatory.

I've found PBS' scattershot streaming strategy really frustrating. There are a few new things I'd like access to, and some of the older programing that's still unmatched (pre-Elmo-takeover Sesame Street, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood) but it's hard to figure out where to get all of it. They have Passport but seem to go out of their way to make it hard to figure out WTF I'd actually get paying for that. Full back-catalog, no BS, PBS streaming would be an easy $Netflix/month from me.

Their day-to-day OTA schedule doesn't appeal to me very much, but streaming the handful of current things I want on my own schedule, and access to their killer back-catalog, would be a no-brainer addition to my monthly media spending.

I don't think I received an usually large amount of presents as a kid but probably around age 10 I stopped enjoying it mostly. I didn't want more stuff and I didn't want to get stuff I didn't want, but I had to pretend to show gratitude and act like I enjoyed it when I had zero interest in it.

As a child I didn't know how to tell the adults to stop giving me presents I didn't want.

As an adult with a child now, it's still hard to stop people from giving you (and the child) stuff. For some people gift giving is for them, not the receiver.

"Best practices" are not the best way to think about your output nor your (personal) development.

The term is flawed to start with in the sense that it invites you to think of practices as fixed or objective rather than contextual.

You should think of your development as striving to amass the experience/wisdom to recognize the practices that are likely to work better in each situation on the fly. And that just comes with hours and hours and hours of trying different stuff and seeing for yourself (consciously) what you like best and what works best and when. It's slower, but finding that stuff out through experience is really the only true way to learn. Knowledge is a commodity, wisdom is what matters.

And there's a lot more subjectivity to it than we normally treat it as. A given practice can be better along dimension X. But two (great) developers can disagree about whether X is the dimension to optimize vs. Y.

If what you need is a specific practice that is working for people in one specific context at one specific time, you can search the web. But even then, it's not a black and white "best" thing and without your own instinct to judge what you're reading or being told by someone, you're making at some level a guess.
You might be surprised how a simple two D grid of slides like reveal.js can work here. Like the Sony control bar, flow between groups which are sorted or rank is a very good model to show structured nested thinking.

I watched Larry lessig talk twice with something which looked like omnigraffle very like this. What it showed is that he probably did a metric tonne of thinking even with pen and paper to create the rational grid and then conducted a path through it.

I hate to be a nay sayer but it's possible an organisation using simpler tools (paper, pencils, whiteboard, lists, side by side lists, post-it notes) is how you think it, and then sort it, and then map it on to a sequence of sequences.
> If your kids want to watch new episodes of Sesame Street, you already have to pay an HBO tax (varies by geography).

You specified "new" so you're not wrong per se, but it's worth clarifying: new Sesame Street episodes are exclusive to HBO for six months[1], after which they become available on PBS.

I don't think this is a big deal. Sesame Street content isn't particularly timely, so why should a child care if he/she is six months behind? To be honest, I'm pretty surprised HBO agreed to it in the first place—it feels like they're getting the short end of the stick—although I of course don't know the financial details of the agreement.

Being frivolous, not answering the question, but for my money, the best dumb phone is the analog one we used to have, plugged into a socket in the wall.

It was often noisy, sound was crummy, it was unwieldy, and it cost a small fortune to run, but it was without perceptible delay, it was fully duplex, and it far better approximated real face to face conversation than the weird false starts and constant stuttering interrupts we have learned to take for granted these days.

Also, you could walk out the door and ignore it.

You have a double standard here. Newer iPhones are twice as big and have much higher display resolution. To be reasonably fair you'd need to compare that 55" flat screen TV to an 8K 120" HDR TV. Or flip it and compare the Original iPhone to the iPhone SE which is about half the cost of the original iPhone (when you consider the contract cost) and still has a much bigger/ better display.

That entirely depends on how you define "rich" and "poor", which is a nontrivial thing to decide. In 2019 in the US, the top 10% wealthiest households collectively have more than twice as much money as the bottom 90% collectively. But lots of people in the top 10% don't consider themselves "rich".
Have you? Did you read the article? What in god's name is phd514 arguing with?

No where in the damn fine article is the phrase "books of nature" mentioned. The article is describing the context in which modern scientific thought gained currency among the educated and the powerful, both in 17th century Europe and the 19th century Ottoman Empire, how that authority waned in the mid-20th century and today, and how we can work to use those historical examples to "break the whack-a-mole" machine rather than playing whack-a-mole with vaccine deniers, flat-earthers, and so forth.

Here is the context from the fine article the poster is upset with:

"Hanging in the Louvre Museum in Paris is an imposing painting, The Preaching of St Paul at Ephesus. In this 1649 work by Eustache Le Sueur, the fiery apostle lifts his right hand as if scolding the audience, while clutching a book of scripture in his left. Among the rapt or fearful listeners are people busily throwing books into a fire. Look carefully, and you see geometric images on some of the pages."

In the context of 1649, a painting that depicted the burning of geometry books had a very particular meaning. However, instead of noticing that the discussion is focused on Le Suer's painting, phd413 decided that his religion was being attacked.

Does this context make phd514's comment make any more sense? If not, in what context does it make sense?

The only context that I can see is that of a religious person who didn't read the fine article before getting upset and commenting.

As an aside, so what if the bible says those books were full of sorcery? So what if they were? I don't reckon at any time that burning books has been a considered a great idea by people who read, you know, books. (I might make an exception if you found an authentic functional Necronomicon.)

OK, but you're clear now that Tock is not actually premised on the idea that you have to pre-pay for all the restaurants you go to. To a consumer, it's just like OpenTable, except that it has better restaurants on it, including some that won't use OpenTable because their economics work better pre-paid.

I understand not going to Kyoten or Atelier Crenn because you don't want to pre-pay (also, because you don't want to pay $450/person before drinks). I don't understand not going to Roister or Petit Crenn Brunch, both of which are a la carte and neither pre-paid, simply because they're on Tock.
Since I keep seeing partially-informed comments about 737 pitch controls here's some notes and terms and links: It's not obvious, it's not simple, and other planes work in other ways - you can not just assume the 737MAX is like them.

The 737 horizontal tail externally looks like 3 moving parts:front-to-back (and large to small) is: Stabilizer : Elevator : Balance Tab.

see here: http://www.b737.org.uk/flightcontrols.htm#Pitch

Stabilizer moves in response to trim - this is what we are mostly looking at.

Elevator moves in response to the control column.

Balance tab has several modes depending on flaps and hydraulic system
health - but it mostly serves to offset aerodynamic force on the elevator in case the hydraulics fail and the elevator has to be controlled manually.

(there is one other pitch control, I learned - the spoilers on the wing can give some help in landing in case the elevator controls fail.)

There are many modes of operation and simple generalizations will not help.

I think that's the more minor part of the noise that the original comment was referring to. It's much easier to insulate one's detached house from suburban noise than it is to insulate one's apartment from noisy neighbors on the other side of a shared wall. It's also my experience that those noisy neighbors are a much bigger nuisance than the traffic noise in the first place.

On a tangential note, I'd be curious to know whether you have any links to back up the claim that urban environments are often less noisy. I don't disbelieve the claim outright, but it sure doesn't match my personal experience.
