That is not characteristic of why they wear masks. And at least a lot of other less crowded parts of Asia are just meme-ing Japn, as they do for a lot of other stuff as well.

I was on a short trip there and caught a cold, and an okder businessman gave me one of his masks because he saw I was struggling to contain my coughs with just my hands.

It gets very crowded in Tokyo, so these masks are essential during cold and flu season.

Laddering a Chimney (Fred Dibnah)
I haven't heard of anything like that. I think it is inevitable eventually but it's really antithetical to the culture at the moment. Everything is done really cooperatively so the idea of being alone working at home would probably incite a few heart attacks :-)

What's really interesting to me on the opposite side is that I've never heard of pair programming in Japan. I really should go on the speaker circuit here because it seems like the perfect Japanese technique.

Anyway, if someone wants to start a risky startup for the Japanese market, some kind of software that enables collaborative work while telecommuting is probably necessary. It could probably make a lot of money eventually, but risky in the short term until something like that is accepted.
Southwest has 750+ 737's. Giving them a reason to look at Airbus could have been risky.
> But it's functional no different than police bodycam footage.

Perfect example, but not of what you're claiming. Police bodycam footage is frequently released in partial, edited form as propaganda. When it doesn't appear to exonerate the cops, police departments often fight its release.
It's more boring than you'd probably expect. Boring is simple, reliable and cheap. The less opportunities for things to go wrong, the better.
It's all Trump's fault, eh?

Except that isn't even remotely true. Anyways, all this climate science stuff is a giant scam for scientists to get grants to study and review each other's work and have a huge echo chamber and be used by the Marxists to promote yet more collectivism which ultimately leads to mass starvation and mass death.

But for the sake of the argument, why not come to the Midwest and see what a travesty our cities are? Also, you have really no idea the distances involved out here or you would not be promoting such nonsense.
You'd think that argument would apply to physics, which is knowledge that exists in the mind and is nothing like everyday experience, but nobody has trouble writing that down. The most likely explanation is that nothing about this person's "enlightenment" can be written down because nothing substantial is there. In this case it's especially easy to realize that, because apparently his idea of enlightenment was to realize that his teachings were pointless...

Cult leaders, bad politicians and the dark side of enterprise software sales all run on the same principle: big false promises ("you will become God"), combined with a teaspoon of truth to make it believable to some ("you do not have control of your autonomic nervous system"), backed up by personal charisma of the salsesman (see: his description in the article).

Trying to extract the "nugget of truth," which was put in there just to make the false parts believable, is one of the worst possible ways to find truth. It's like looking for cheese in a mousetrap.
>Was it so much worse than that of regular jet?

A "regular jet" has turbofan engines where the center section of the jet, the part that actually compresses air and burns fuel, is used to spin a big fan which supplies a good chunk of the thrust. The fan is relatively quiet compared to the actual fuel burning section of engine because it is exhausting gas at much lower pressure, think popping a balloon vs popping a tire. For a variety of reasons that you can google high bypass turbofan engines are not used on supersonic aircraft. This means all that thrust is coming from the actual engine itself.

Per unit of thrust an aircraft that doesn't use turbofans is just going to be louder.

So Concorde is just going to be louder than a "regular jet" but nothing special compared to any other jet making the same amount of thrust from similar engines. For acoustic purposes you can think of the Concorde as basically being two heavy fighter aircraft.

Edit: Running the numbers based on Wikipedia specs for thrust with afterburners the Concorde is making about the same amount of thrust as four F18s. So throttle on the firewall Concorde should make about as much noise as the Blue Angels. That said, lighting the burners over a populated area would be a great way to wind up looking for a new job.

I didn’t think about segregation on planning phase, thanks for the insight.

Answering your question: yes, I believe not being able to afford housing categorizes a person as poor.

“Provide everyone fairly” is a touchy subject and depends on how limited do you want your goverment to be. I’d rather choose where to live myself, based on my own means.
Do people use that publish-subsribe model within a process rather than between processes? Any time I've encountered the 'event bus' model it's been for 'enterprise' (for lack of a better term) scale integration (i.e. gluing together applications across an organisation).

Some issues I've had is that:

But overall pretty good.
This video shows traditional techniques to attach a ladder to a tall chimney. It comes in two parts. I'm not sure when this was filmed, but some time in the 1990s would be about right.

I'm glad these traditional techniques have been preserved in film, especially with commentary from the expert. But I'm also glad that we don't use these techniques anymore and are much safer.
Surgical masks don't protect you against airborne viruses

Ask HN: Why are 95% of messages on LinkedIn trash?
I recently started looking for a new job and updated my LinkedIn status.
In the first sentence I write that I only look for REMOTE and FREELANCE (caps used as on my profile) positions. Still 95% of messages I receive are either permanent or on-site.
Sometimes also the required skill is completely off but this doesn't happen too often.

So, I wonder, is it only the minority (hopefully) of bad recruiters just sending out mass/spam messages which I get to my inbox or don't I understand how recruiters work on online platforms like LinkedIn. I'm also not searching in some niche area I guess, Golang + Cloud should have some demand.
You folks have the same experience?
What do recruiters say to this?
> Something somewhere seems not quite thought through.

Maybe timing was also an issue, the A320 reengine was (supposed to be) a fairly quick program. A whole new airplane for Boeing presumably would’ve taken a lot longer. For a lot of customers looking to replace 737s in the near future maybe too long to wait. So

* A320neo sooner beats $NewBoeing later

* 737MAX same time beats A320neo for existing 737 operators

* 737MAX and A320neo a toss up for other scenarios

Edit: and if you’re a 737 operator waiting for a new plane is a very risky proposition with delays, etc. It would be less risky if you’re going to have to retrain your pilots to buy the 320.

The ZX Spectrum's “Ant Attack” as an FPS (Tech Demo)
> The short answer to your first sentence is that MCAS was needed in order to make the MAX so similar to the NG versions that it could be claimed that no additional training was needed.

I think that places the emphasis in the wrong place in a tabloid headline kind of way. The reason for MCAS is so that the 737 Max passes the certification requirement that the pitch controls cannot get lighter on the approach to a stall. It's correct in that clearly the previous 737 were certified as meeting this standard, but it's wrong in that even if the pervious 737 didn't exist this would still be a requirement of certification.

> If you struggle to prep food for cooking, you're going to be slower and probably less effective than the master chef who doesn't even have to think about how to dice.

This analogy is not good in that prepping is a major part of the complete task. To fix the analogy, consider the same scenario, but prepping now takes only 2 minutes per complete meal and can be cut down to 30 seconds given years of training.
> it's important to note that the reason for all three of those improvements is billions in subsidies + exploited drivers

First, they're not exploited drivers. You could claim any worker is exploited at any and all times. It's not a statement with any grounding to it in this case. They are not being held hostage by Uber, this is the best labor market in two decades. You could claim all workers at every big and small company are all universally exploited. The person making $15 / hour should be making $30; the person making $30 / hour should be making $60.

Second, almost every major tech company you can name exists due to initial venture capital or investor subsidies (including Apple, Amazon, Google, Salesforce, Workday, etc). Amazon bled a lot of red ink before they turned seriously profitable (not nearly so much as Uber granted), because they were investing massively to achieve scale. It was venture capital and investor money broadly that subsidized that build out and enabled them to have low prices. So what? It was widely claimed for 20 years that they couldn't generate a substantial profit, and now they are thanks to opportunities they grabbed hold of (perhaps Uber Eats will be that for Uber, or any number of other things).
Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and many more cities that are not New York or San Francisco are still filled with trucks and SUVs carrying no passengers and no cargo. Urban economies in the US are largely commuter-based and parking a large vehicle is not a problem for those who go back and forth between a driveway and a parking garage.

For most of my searches, debugging a few specific strings, I really just need grep. It’s too much for one person to crawl the web. But a good distributed network could.

From memory, about 50% of the users visible in Matrix are on the matrix.org server, which is one of about 30K deployments total that we're aware of, directly or indirectly. This will likely change in the near future as the French deployment expands, which should dwarf the matrix.org server. In the medium/long term, we'd like to at least disable registration on the matrix.org server if not turn it off entirely (once decentralised accounts land).

The identity server is used ONLY for mapping email addresses and phone numbers to matrix IDs, and is strictly optional, so I'm not sure it counts as centralisation. We are also hoping to remove it entirely from the mix in future (switching to storing 3pid->mxid mappings per room instead).
> US car manufacturers are doubling down on large trucks and SUVs

Manufacturers are building lots of SUVs because this is what people in the US prefer to buy. If manufacturers build tons of subcompacts instead they would have to drop prices and probably sell those subcompacts at a loss.

If you wanted to sell more small cars instead you should convince consumers to buy them (e.g., via end user incentives), which would make it profitable for car companies to build lots of them.
What’s the difference between something like this and tools like protobuf?

Edit: this provides a good explanation http://doc.kaitai.io/faq.html#_google_protocol_buffers_asn_1...
Sorry, but this is an intellectual lazy argument that undermines discourse.

Highlighting a close personal relationship like a marriage that spans cultures isn’t the same as the “some of my best friends are black” trope. It’s a useful context that implies a deeper understanding of differences between cultures and thinking.

I have nothing to add about restaurants, but I would illustrate this by my experience growing up in a traditional Irish Catholic family (2nd generation immigrants) and going to school with many first generation American born Chinese and Koreans. From my perspective, my classmates were cool and in alignment with the things that I cared about as an 80s kid, but at the same time reserved from an after school perspective.

As a grew older, I noticed some ways our families were similar, but the cultural differences were a big load on my friends. Many spoke no English at home and had to serve as universal translators for language and the cultural standards both ways. A few struggles with being an “outsider” in school and a decadent American in the eyes of extended family.

I bring this up because it’s easy to attribute to racism things that are better categorized as mutual misalignment of perspective and experience. Perhaps reflecting on how your implied characterization of the poster’s marriage would perhaps be hurtful or interpreted in a negative way would be a productive exercise.
The term belongs in the same bin as toxic masculinity, mainsplaining, manspreading and Patriarchy. Words people one on side of a political spectrum use since they think its descriptive, and the other side find that they only end discussions.

Seconded; I had a pair of rats until recently, and they made awesome pets: affectionate, smart enough to play with, and with distinct personalities while being pretty low maintenance (and willing to eat most of our food scraps). If my partner hadn't developed a skin allergy to them (which made handling them suck for her) we would for sure have acquired more when ours died.

The problem is very simple: the A330NEO is not selling well at all. It was supposed to be a cheap alternative to the 787: not quite as good, but much cheaper. The problem is that Boeing has managed to reduce the manufacturing cost of the 787 so much that you can essentially buy a 787-9 for the same price as an A330-900.

The A350 is also suffering from the cheap price of the 787: it is too expensive, so Airbus has to work hard to lower the manufacturing cost...

Think about it as an extension to e.g. K/Q's strengths. What if you would like to visualise certain aspects of quote/trade data? It could take a very long time to process the data in Python and it is difficult to visualise data from within kdb+. Seems to be a good match.

It's a little different for Dropbox, MEGA and similar services because they sync your machines. So long as you have at least one machine with those tools installed and running, you have a copy (unless someone finds an exploit in their servers and deletes all their customer data ... so yea .. still keep backups).
IMHO it will be more challenging than just building an orbital class rocket. You have most of the challenges of space flight in terms of exotic fuels etc. But you spend the entire flight in a hypersonic airflow, where any problem could escalate instantly. At least in orbit you have time to fix things.

And the vehicle needs to work at completely different altitudes and velocities. This could be very challenging in terms of structures, landing gear, braking etc. Particularly if the mass of the vehicle is constrained. Many component will need to be lighter and have orders of magntitude better performance than a traditional airliner.
> But in her late 20s Jacka managed to recover and stay well by focusing on her diet, exercise and sleep.

Depression is a relapsing and remitting illness so people get better and worse all the time as a normal part of the illness.

Depression is a word that covers a wide range of different forms of illness.

We have no idea if better sleep, exercise, and better food played any part in her recovery. We don't know if that is applicable to other people. We don't know how to tell who will experience recovery from depression from exercise (good evidence that it's not many people) or better food (not much evidence either way) ro sleep (good evidence that it's important).

With almost all of these we find that there's not much attempt to work out the causal direction. (Is Joe Soap depressed because he eats junk food, or does he eat junk food because he's depresed and can't shop or cook?).

Unsurprisingly, this person is selling a book, which is usually a sign of an oversold bit of research.

It's not like software development.

In fields like aviation and medical software, when engineers say something is done, there are usually documents to be signed.

Right now, I don't think I'd like to be the guys who signed off on anything at all to do with MCAS or AoA indicators. I suspect very strongly that we won't find the CEO's signature on those documents. I always implore engineers in FDA regulated medical software and any engineers in aviation to please, please, PLEASE think more like engineers who build bridges and skyscrapers. When you're signing those documents, please understand that it's legally binding. Never let a higher up pressure you into signing such a document if you have any reservations at all.
DDG if fine for some things, but I mainly use Startpage.com as a privacy focused Google alternative.
A very concrete example: I am trying to find a solution for a certain error / warning in AndroidStudio. I try finding it using DDG, not succeeding, while on Google I'd find the solution within the 3 first results. Happened to me already several times.
So it is satisfactory to me if the search leads to a solution or at least the right path to finding a solution to my query.
That doesn't explain the white/black background difference shown at the end.
I've been using DDG for so many years as my sole means of searching the internet (though I thought when I first started using it, it was proxing Google and not Bing) that I'm not sure if I'm getting satisfactory results back or not. It's not like I'm doing a head to head comparison with Google.

"You should think carefully about why you're so desperate to disingenuously downplay the effects of racism on modern attitudes"

After thinking carefully, shall I craft a letter of self-criticism and denounce myself? Or maybe denounce all white people? My family spent time in Chinese Communist re-education camps being "educated" on the latest in leftist intellectual fashion back in the 1960s because they weren't a favored "class" under the leftist intellectual fashion of the time. (They were land owners back when class enemies were defined by land ownership, not race, so Marxist justice theory said they were a criminal class who deserved to die, but the fact that they were too poor ever to commit the "crime" of giving someone a job working their land but were forced to work the land themselves qualified them, under the Maoist contributions to leftist justice theory, to be "re-educated" instead of being murdered. If they could just convince their political overseers that they hated themselves and the other members of their enemy class enough--like white people denouncing white people today in the West--their lives would be spared by the enlightened.)

How ironic to be accused of being "desperate to disingenuously downplay the effects of [white] racism [against the Chinese]" by the same kinds of leftist ideologues who put my [Chinese] family in the re-education camps for violations of the ephemeral leftist intellectual fashions of the day. Once again, leftist intellectual fashion may be ever-changing but--make no mistake--it's always right!

I must say how incredibly lucky it feels to have lived long enough for intellectual fashion, so ridiculously wrong about so many things again and again, to finally have landed on The Real Truth.
