IMHO the fact that Asians have been consuming it in huge amounts for over a century, and yet there hasn't been any common health problems linked to it, should be enough of a clue that it's not really harmful...

I've found that restaurants in China in general tend to use a lot more MSG and other glutamate products than North America, enough to give me a little bit of a "high". It would not surprise me that someone not used to it would probably not like the experience. I once went to a "no MSG" one (they exist over there too, because the "chemicals are bad" line of thought is just as prevalent) without being aware of it, and found the food rather bland --- only upon leaving did I notice the signage.

Yes, a lot louder. I lived well outside London, and I'd say Concorde flying over Reading (by which point it was _high_) was louder than the memorable time a C-5 decided to take off from Greenham Common right over my house.

For any meaningful elastic deployment at scale, Linux's (or rather any OS) TCP/IP stack will have to be bypassed through user-space programs: It has all of the upsides and few of the downsides.

Not just the datacenters, but even 5G deployments, which would be exclusively IPv6 based, would sport user-space processing of packets and flows.

You asked “reddit search” and there’s substantial amount of porn on reddit.

The majority of NSFW results in DDG comes from karmadecay.com, it’s a reverse image search engine.

Google doesn’t like that domain, you won’t get images from there even if you’ll search for the domain name. Google will only show result from that domain if you limit search to that domain with “site:karmadecay.com”

Have no idea why Google’s doing that. Could be google breaking antitrust laws (they have a reverse image search as well), or could be purely technical reasons.

Personally, I prefer DDG’s approach. If you’re using DDG in work environment and don’t want NSFW result, just set the safe search preference. Google appears to censor the results even if you explicitly asked not to.
I still own my copy, and highly recommend reading it in conjunction with a more conventional text on operating systems design. It’s quite illuminating.

Source? Every piece of data I see shows that the top quintile is running away with almost all of the income and wealth growth (especially the top decile), and that economic opportunities are being concentrated in certain urban areas resulting in higher rents and property prices, all the while home ownership and stable careers are in decline.

Having a bigger room and smart phone does little in the face of higher variance of one’s future security. The compounding nature of the game’s fruits are clearly evident now, and people rightfully are afraid of permanently falling behind.
I think specialization can be a good thing. With tools, specialization can make you faster and more effective for a variety of reasons. It is, however, a tradeoff with flexibility as you've pointed out. I think the balance we strike here is very personal and might have a lot to do with ones daily workload.

Ruby 2.7 – Numbered Parameters
MSG is most likely safe to eat, judging by the copious amount poured into each and every dish ever, in each and every Chinese restaurant that I've been to.

It tasted great when I was only eating in restaurants once in a while. I soon got pretty sick of it after eating out a few times a week for a few months.

There's probably a judicious amount that could enliven a dish without overpowering the food. Alas, the amounts Chinese restaurants are using just make everything taste the same sickeningly savory taste.
Yeah, my bad. I guess my memory is failing me.
No worries - would have done the same. Just found the naming a bit ironic :)
So even in the best case you list (which I share your skepticism of), you are 1,000x more likely to win the MegaMillions or Powerball jackpot than pick the perfect winning grid.

To put the odds of picking a perfect grid by hand in rough perspective, it would be like winning the lottery, boarding a plane that crashes into the ocean, being the only survivor floating in the ocean, but then are struck by lightning 3 times and yet you live, only to then be eaten by a shark, all in a single day.

An Analysis of Pre-Installed Android Software
And that's very obvious once it's been pointed out, but how long would it take a beginner to figure that out?
Page 69:
Thanks to the openness of the Android ecosystem, mobile device vendors can build and sell smart phones and other mobile devices using their own custom versions of Android. Most of these custom versions deviate significantly from Google’s official Android Open Source Project (AOSP): in addition to various visual and functional changes to the base OS, vendors add proprietary applications (apps hereafter) to their firmware, and sometimes even add custom (often unknown) certificates to the system’s root certificate store. In fact, recent anecdotal evidence has revealed that pre-installed apps can put, intentionally or not, user’s privacy and security at risk. This is especially concerning for lesser-known brands producing lower-end devices for whom preserving user privacy might not be high on the priority list. In this extended abstract, we present our methodology to explore the complex and diverse ecosystem of Android pre-installed apps as well as our preliminary results.
What's Holding Smart Cities Back?
This exists, kinda:

There was a mainstream article written about the tech a while back, which had GIFs demonstrating simulations, but I failed to find it. Essentially, it would model what the players did versus what they should have done, optimally.
The short answer to your first sentence is that MCAS was needed to give acceptable handling characteristics at high angles of attack. the MAX was deemed similar enough to the NG, such that additional training was not thought necessary, only because of the difference MCAS made.

More details here: https://leehamnews.com/2019/02/15/bjorns-corner-pitch-stabil...

Stability is a more complicated issue than it might seem, for reasons such as aerodynamic stability being insufficiently damped, and the interaction between roll and yaw. An airplane that is statically stable could still be dynamically unstable, and go into a divergent series of oscillations if not corrected. It is very common for an airplane to be statically stable around all three axes, yet be prone to falling into a spiral dive if not corrected (this is probably what happened to JFK jr.) If you try to increase the stability to fix that, you get an airplane that is susceptible to an oscillation called dutch roll. Most swept-wing aircraft, including airliners, have gyroscopic yaw dampers that operate the rudder to counteract this.

Then there's helicopters... All I know about them is that its complicated.
I used to live near central London (NW6) and would be driven mad by Heathrow aircraft, because many late-night Asia-bound departures would overfly my house. It often seemed roof-shakingly loud, and was incredibly annoying when I was trying to get to sleep. (Although there was supposed to be an 11PM curfew, they would often depart late, sometimes after midnight.)

Right now I live in far west London (UB3), only a mile or so from Heathrow's northern runway. On the 6th floor. It's blissfully quiet. I can see the aircraft but not hear them. Turns out that aircraft coming in to land, even relatively close at low altitudes, are much less noisy than departing aircraft directly overhead.

If annunciators are eventually mandated, I wonder if we'll ever see a situation where MCAS legitimately intervenes, and a pilot in a panic turns it off while approaching stall.

Sounds far fetched, but this whole situation and how its been handled seriously undermines confidence in safety systems you shouldn't be worrying about in an emergency; and the right combination of issues certainly takes down planes, as seen with Lion Air

As the book says:

> There’s only one problem with a connectionless, stateless (file) system: it doesn’t work.

> Example #1: NFS is stateless, but many programs designed for Unix systems require record locking

> Example #3: If you delete a file in Unix that is still open, the file’s name is removed from its directory, but the disk blocks associated with the file are not deleted until the file is closed.

(Example #2 is a non-issue)

The security is still lacking, and the system still can't handle failures.

Yet, yes, it's faster, easier to set-up, and more widely supported than the alternatives.

> Boeing was toying with a new plane to replace the 737, launched in 1967, and had engineers working on the new plane concept. While many airlines liked the idea, existing 737 customers didn’t want to retrain their pilots at huge cost and so lobbied for an updated, more-efficient 737

> Then in 2011 Boeing learned that American Airlines, one of its best customers, had struck a tentative deal with Airbus for potentially hundreds of A320neo planes to renew its short-haul fleet.

American has 304 737s not including the Max.[0] So Boeing considered building a whole new plane, reconsidered when 737 customers wanted to avoid retraining, then did the Max when one of them started moving to a whole new plane anyway. Something somewhere seems not quite thought through.

I am completely on your side. Matrix did improve upon the state of XMPP in 2012. But XMPP improved too and therefore the problems we had 2012 are not relevant anymore today.

There is just one big problem with XMPP nowadays: Very few people are interested in XMPP as everybody wants to learn the new shit aka Matrix. And actually, that is the one thing I blame the Matrix devs for. Instead of improving an existing open IETF standard they decided to invent something new and split the community.

Technologically, Matrix is neither better nor worse than XMPP, as far as I can tell, but splitting the community wasn't such a brilliant idea.

New Technique Helps Build Autonomous Agents That Beat Pommerman

Not from my experience. Many Windows users have anti-viruses installed, and they flag unsigned soft. I'm speaking from experience: it is cheaper to buy pricy certificate than loose big chunks of customers because of Windows Defender warnings.
This is especially problem if you have software with rapid development cycle. Like I do - we got daily builds going up every couple days or so.

Also, Windows "trust system" seemingly works also on unsigned binaries. If you don't disable bunch of security settings, you would be blocked similar to self-signed certificates on HTTPS. You can go around, by clicking tiny button. Is enough users do it, software getting flagged as OK.

Certificate solves that this should be done per certificate, not per binary.

The problem of XMPP is just lack of good clients on some platforms, most notably for iOS. For Android there is an excellent Conversations.im client [0] that I've successfully use with my non-technical family and friends. (There is also Quicksy [1] that uses phone numbers for onboarding but it's XMPP all the way down). Conversations doesn't use a lot of battery (anecdata but it's 1% on my phone) and just works.

[0]: https://conversations.im/

[1]: https://quicksy.im/

As for servers ejabberd is successfully used from small deployments to big MMORPGs. The team is extremely focused on performance and from what they say XML isn't actually a big performance problem. Prosody, another server, is in my opinion also high quality, even though it's developed in free time (AFAIK).

The "myriad of extensions" is mostly solved problem due to Compliance Suites and automated testers [2] (think SSLLabs) that people use to get their servers in shape.

[2]: https://compliance.conversations.im/

For the record I've used Matrix for work too and it's not bad, the clients are decent (I've used web client), but it's not a revolution especially if one's contacts can use Conversations, that, in my opinion, is just very good.
Really well put!
This would still use hydrogen, and liquid oxygen which are more difficult to handle than jet fuel. Having such fuels in close proximity to people could be pretty risky.

Also, it is not known what the take off or landing speed would be like. A hypersonic vehicle needs wings that are very swept back and would not generate a lot of lift at low altitude. That means higher speeds, longer runways, and more risk.
Nutritional psychiatry: can you eat yourself happier?
> max risk of hazardous (people injured)

Still, relying on a single sensor when failure could cause multiple injury is grossly negligent. I don't know what failure rates are mandated for this risk level but a single sensor probably doesn't meet that. When you coumpound that with the fact that they sold a "premium" redundant version of that system with proper alarms in case of disagreement between sensors, then it's not hard to conclude that they put their commercial interests first, and people's safety second.
Yeah, I switched to DDG, but it didn't give me satisfactory results, particularly for debugging searches. Moved to startpage, and am a happy user since two weeks now.
I think it's more about changing architecture and having up to date documentation.
For those searching a very simple to use XMPP client:

Quicksy.im: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=im.quicksy.cli...

It is a fork (same developers) of the popular Conversations client, which does not bother you with provider selection and such kind of technical decisions. If you just want to try XMPP or invite someone, it is probably the easiest way to start with.
A pilot that deals with a stall by pulling up has failed their training.

As I recall, we practiced low speed flight and recovering from a low speed stall either the 2nd or 3rd time I ever went up in a Cessna. Power on stalls were a few days later, they are quite different.

I never did get my license, mainly because I experienced moderate nausea / motion sickness which I thought would abate after a dozen flights or so, but never really got over it.

The problem isn’t that pilots can’t or shouldn’t be relied upon to detect and recover from stalls or near-stalls by increasing throttle and decreasing pitch.

The problem appears to be that a new system, added for the purpose of making a new plane with different handling / characteristics behave the same as an older one for training purposes, is malfunctioning.

The plane could be perfectly safe without MCAS but pilots would have had to be recertified.

> Funny thing, Matrix is still struggling (like every other federated network) to explain the concept of federation.

Are there any data on how federated is Matrix? I mean number of users on different servers.
