(Woof, sorry for the long comment) A little thought experiment, and I want to be clear, its apparent Boeing screwed up big time, but I also expect my airline to make every effort to incorporate all safety features. Since it’s a bit of an ethical gray area where cutting edge or expensive safety features are knowingly foregone, I haven’t seen the fact discussed concerning these airlines’ culpability for choosing to acquire aircraft without safety features to save money (aka, to make more money), just like Boeing marks up the cost of these features to make money. I realize that the AoA disagree is a safety feature that would have informed pilot of a bad Boeing design, but are there other sensors and features that could have been offered by Boeing, but aren’t available or aren’t purchased for similar reasons. If it was an option on the order sheet, and they had technical consulting to assist with specificying the plane, then they made an active decision not to beef up on safety.

I’m sure there are better examples that have a higher probability of improving safety, but for some fun examples, where are the massive, inflatable, roofmounted airfoils that inflate like big airbag parachutes in the event of an impending crash. What about 5 pt harnesses for all passenger? Where are the uniformed armed security squad on every flight to deter hostage situations? What about full situational awareness mesh network radar comms a la the F-35? What about no carryons allowed in the cabin to reduce flammability and airborne objects during crashes? Each of these things offers a potential, incrementally-increasing level of safety for passengers, that are not taken up by the market.

For an analogy, If my cabby didn’t buy curtain airbags from the Ford, and I get my head smashed in a wreck caused by a malfunctioning component elsewhere in the car, doesn’t the cab company still have some culpability for skimping in passenger safety? If not in that scenario, what about a poor level of maintenance (but still technically compliant) of the vehicle? At some point, for contracts of carriage, it’s up to the carrier to establish an expected, acceptable level of safety for its customers.

Again, it sounds like Boeing bears the lead blame, and it wasn’t clear the features as sold offered valuable data to the pilot in the event of an emergency, but I also expect my airline/carrier to provide as much safety is commercially reasonable. Just like when reviewing legal contracts or lines of code, if a line item is added with no obvious reason for existing, one must ask “why is this item here?”

I would guess it's a simple cooling off period, which some states in the US have. It gives you 72 hours to recend the agreement. This allow you to escape the social pressures of the room where the contract is being signed. Allows you to escape the pressures of salesmanship and techniques. Allows you to consult with friends and family.

I understand arguments for and against these cooling off periods. However, I think for individual consumers they do more good than harm.
In Rust you can probably get away with not speculating and thus having "imprecise exceptions" for overflow and maybe array reads (if you don't care about side channels), since panic essentially destroys all non-Mutex-protected accessible memory anyway and Mutex-protected memory is made inaccessible via poisoning (as long as they don't get moved through things like library calls and atomic ops).

It would require a minor compatibility break, significant checking work and changes to unsafe code to make it work, but it should be doable.

Array writes do need precise checking though, since otherwise you can write to arbitrary memory.
Raising the cost per plane is not so simple of a solution in some markets, and may make it very difficult to stay competitive, putting you out of business there entirely. Also, not all planes might be purchased for passenger travel, maybe a plane is used for package delivery and doesn’t need to come with so much extra safety. Who knows.
Gigantic EU research programme takes shape
> How does prenatal test affect someone after they've gone through puberty

The test doesn't affect them. Hormone levels during development are the primary way the body controls development, so even small alterations in hormone levels in utero would be expected to have large physiological consequences.

> Is that not a far reaching statement to associate the two

Luckily, the field of statistics gives us ways to reason about whether or not to believe an observed effect.

In this case[1], the researchers used data on 100% of Norwegian births from 1967-1978 (n=728,842) including 13,800 twins. From these large n's the researchers are able to get the statistical power to measure these effects at the level of precision they did. The p-values for all the reported effects are presented in the appendix [2] and ranged from <.001 to .054 for the outcomes reported to be different.

It's worth noting that many of these differences had already been observed in multiple previous studies. The difference in marriage rates, for example, already appeared in a study analyzing records of 18th and 19th century (1734–1888) Finns [3].

So, in summary, while these statements are interesting, they're in no way an overreach, given the amount of data analyzed.

Sure thing, but if you look at the first example I found regarding meat consumption by type [1], what you claim seems disconnected the reality, because only 1.1 percent of all meat consumed is lamb or mutton. And I'm sure most of it is produced in ways that pay off (that is big scale operations, same as with all the other meat on the market).

Instead of building more housing, build more narrow-gauge electrified commuter railway lines and stations--with large multistory parking garages adjacent in the US, and maybe bike lockers attached in the EU.

If you make everywhere effectively closer to everywhere else, there is more competition for "good location", and landowners can't charge as much for any specific spot. Or at least they can't until demand goes up again.
Well yes, your own home is certainly one thing. But I'm pretty sure in the UK you can totally order alcohol for your own kid at a restaurant and it's not illegal as long as the parent gives permission. In some other places it's illegal for someone to sell alcohol knowing that it will be consumed by a minor - so that scenario couldn't happen.

You're not wrong, but on the other hand this is far from the only thing suggesting a link between cardiovascular disease and depression. The "vascular depression" hypothesis has been around for a while, and post-stroke emotional changes are a well-established phenomenon.
I think we read different articles.

From the article:

> The Pentagon released the JEDI request for proposals nine months after Mr. Ubhi recused himself.

> Amazon has countered that the Pentagon identified 72 people substantially involved in developing the contract and its requirements, and that Mr. Ubhi worked on JEDI for only seven weeks, in the early stages.

Which one would you rather believe:

Some random noob, one of 72, works for 7 weeks, and magically has such a major impact that it's still felt 9 months later?

Or

Amazon, which has been the leader in Cloud for about a decade, is just the better (safer) option?
Yeah, it is optional, but it might indicate that their priorities lie in something other than making the best privacy focused browser. Time will tell.

Your ISP routes all your DNS lookups anyway, so they can see what they are even if you don't use the ISP's DNS server.

They get to see every single unique name you look up, they just don't get to see how often you do it if you use a caching resolver.

You'd need to VPN to somewhere else in order for your DNS queries not to be visible to your ISP.
Yeah, but Sweden is small. In the US, people routinely drive distances where you would be flying or using the train. The mountains make things a bit different, but I think in general it's true.
No, they don't follow the Gompertz sigmoid growth function so it's not the same thing.
OK, I totally get the argument that YAML is for data and not programming. But I'm not sure the line between them is always clear.

For example: I used to use YAML to define field mappings between external data and internal models in a Rails application.

like:

- src: fieldA
dest: field_a
filter: name_of_some_filter_function

Is this programming? Data? Really it's configuration for an import library, but I find the line blurry.

I thought this too while using a small provider, as my messages were frequently not delivered to Gmail or Office365.

Then I discovered my provider didn't set up SPF and DKIM correctly so emails were failing authentication.

There are many factors affecting email delivery beyond SPF and DKIM, and it can be difficult for a small provider to get everything right.

So if you're having delivery issues I'd start with that, not by assuming without evidence that the big guys are intentionally classifying spam just because it's from a small provider.
INI is the best config format imo since you can't do anything more complicated than assigning a value to a key in a namespace. The Dist::Zilla config file was a real eye-opener at what you can achieve with this kind of siimplicity.
I meant that they should have special syntax that isn't ambiguous (to a human reader). Just treating bare words as either strings or booleans depending on their value is what makes it confusing.
I don't think it ever fell out of use, it just isn't written.

I'm from the US south, I use both "them" and "'em" in everyday speech depending on context, but I never write "'em", even where I would use it in speech. This is partially because "'em" in written form ends up conveying a slightly different tone or meaning than I might intend. "Them" is just a word; "'em" has more nuance and is more easily misunderstood.

I've interpreted searches. Database searches, not web pages, but my problems should apply to web search too: For example, a user who types "märz 2019" with quotes might mean that string, in German, or might on the other hand mean that particular month and use the quotes to eliminate february 2019, march 2018, etc. And people enter the exact string they remember in the hope of avoiding a sea of mismatches, but then they either mistype or don't remember quite the right wording.

I tried the Amtrack against advice not to. I went from DC to NYC and then to Boston. The train was not luxurious but it was "fine". I took the cheapest option (which was not cheap given the train was slow and the distance is short). [I'm comparing prices to EU].

- The seats were large and comfortable enough. But I'm a small sized person.

- The trains were on time.

- The stations were not renovated or nice but functional. Boston station was good enough. NYC, a bit confusing.

- There was food on board. It was okay for 3-4 hours ride.

- Wifi didn't work. Data will disconnect near big buildings or under tunnels.

- It's not clear which station we are in. Maybe they could have a digital screen that shows some info?
I think that's a reasonable point for the 737/A320 coach window seat. That egg shape of the Embraer hull does afford more room. It seems negligible for 737 business class though, since the seat is quite wide.

> Who is downvoting this guy? Monopoly on use of force... that doesn't belong to the state. If you see a man raping a woman.. you can probably knock him out.

Read my grandparent post. I specifically addressed that. The state can authorize citizens to use violence in specific situations while maintaining absolute authority over who is allowed to use violence, just as a commercial monopoly can authorize other companies to manufacture their products while maintaining a monopoly.

The rest of your post...who do you think you're arguing with? No one said borders were immoral or mentioned anything about Mexico or Trump. It looks like you saw the word "borders" and went off on a tear.
The researchers never once use the term 'life success'. [1]

That a behavioral difference (marriage rate) seems to be influenced, in females, by in-utero exposure to testosterone (independent of any effect on fertility rate, at that) is certainly a scientifically relevant finding. Links between psychology and biology are still infrequent.

> post-stroke emotional changes are a well-established phenomenon.

I'm not arguing with you, I'm just looking for more information on this point - wouldn't it be hard to suss out the difference between the depression caused by the inflammation and the actual neurologically damaging event that is a stroke? And does inflammation occur after the stroke? I would assume it would be there leading up to it as well - after all aren't strokes mostly caused by plaque or clot build up which would be caused by inflammation? Does the same post-stroke emotional changes occur with hemorrhagic strokes?

Yes.

Plus various other, similar situations.

(I am in complete honesty unsure whether to regret it.)
Do you have an example of this not working?
Simple. Build molten salt reactors like Terrestrial Energy's IMSR, which have low capital costs and relatively short lifetimes for the reactor cores.

This is really hard in the U.S. because the NRC is very unfriendly to R&D, but T.E. has already gotten through the hardest part of Canada's licensing process and expects to have the first IMSR running by 2025 or so. Moltex and Elysium also have MSR projects in Canada.

Nuclear naturally looks bad if you compare today's nuclear to the future of wind/solar/storage.
It seems to lack the flexibility I was hoping for - lunch in this town, dinner in that. plus i suspect it entails excitingly expensive tickets and fun timetable management :-)
I was referring specifically to the rapid Moore's Law-type decreases we've seen in the panels themselves, but upon investigation it looks that the price of batteries is decreasing faster than I had realized. So I'll cede that point. Global output of LiPo batteries is still a pittance compared to what would be required to run the world on solar, but there are promising trends there.

I should clarify that I'm not against solar as an important part of the energy mix, but it seems incredibly wasteful when we consider the sheer amount of material required in panels + storage to replicate the sustained output of a single fission plant, not all of which can be easily recycled. Solar hasn't historically been widespread enough for us to experience the issues associated with widespread end-of-lifing of components, but one look at the electronics industry and the waste it produces should tell us that it could be a massive problem we're kicking down the road. The sheer amount of material required to run the world on solar energy is staggering. Nuclear waste is comparatively a tiny and easily tractable problem by comparison - all the world's nuclear waste over a 50 year period could probably fit in a single underground site of sufficient volume.

There has been plenty of work done on smaller, safer fission reactor designs over the last 50 years, but the regulatory burden to get new designs approved & operational is extremely limiting. There's no way to do it without the support of government as things currently stand, and it's a pity - nuclear could provide 50%+ of the global energy mix emission-free with a relatively small footprint compared to solar, and certainly with far less in the way of materials input between plant construction & fissionable material (the latter producing 24,000,000 kWh from a single KG of U-235).
>The company Cloudflare has a publicly accessible DNS at the address 1.1.1.1 that they claim is encrypted and secure.

For it to be "encrypted and secure", the client would have to be configured to use DNSSEC, yeah? As far as I'm aware, most clients don't come with DNSSEC enabled (in OOBE configurations), so isn't this a bit misleading?
Correct. But you don’t get the RL/ML/DL experience out of it.

I would rather see the original piece of reporting.
Undoubtedly there are cultural differences. However, you are attributing to cultural difference things that are more directly linked to geographical differences that have contributed to limited rail infrastructure and route availability.

First & foremost, US rail is minimal in terms of routes offered and significantly more expensive. Compared to planes, it's at least double the cost, and 4x to 5x the cost if you want a bed and shower throughout the multi-day trip.

Second, the US is also significantly larger, making train travel much less practical. The longest trip through Sweden is roughly 1,000 miles top to bottom. That's most of a full 24 hours day in a train. In the US, it's about 3x that from New York City to California.
> The paper do not give out any P values [...] for their primary findings. The relative effect is large, but I interpret that more like a warning flag.

Incorrect. The p-values -- all 85 of them -- are presented in the appendix[1], linked to in the first paragraph under the 'Results' heading, along with means, standard deviations, and number of observations. The article text[2] repeatedly references these tables when making each claim.

> The paper do not give out any [...] confidence intervals for their primary findings.

Incorrect. Confidence intervals are presented in 100% of the figures.

> The article does not explore if the effect [on marriage or employment] could be exclusively a result of lower education.

Incorrect. They explicitly consider the effect of educational attainment on future economic earnings.

"Behavioral changes downstream of prenatal testosterone exposure, such as any effect of disruptive behavior on schooling or educational attainment, are likely candidate pathways linking male co-twin exposure to later earnings. Consistent with this interpretation, conditioning on educational attainment in the earnings equation reduced the coefficient on opposite-sex from −0.086 (SE, 0.021) to −0.042 (SE, 0.014), suggesting that roughly 50% of intensive margin labor market effects could be explained by educational outcomes that are upstream of earnings.

> Those two numbers [H.s. dropout rate / college graduation rate] seems connected ... some relation seems implied.

These measures are already known to be strongly correlated, along with the correlations to the probability of inclusion within the labor force and lifetime earning potential. The paper makes no claims that these four measures are independent from one another.

The paper does explicitly make clear when findings of independence are relevant, particularly in usually-correlated variables. In this case I'm referring to their findings of a fertility rate effect independent from marriage rate.
