Not really. Data from two sensors is not sufficient to determine a value. It can be sufficient to decide whether to use the information at all. That decision can be automated or manual (e.g. requiring the pilots to decide). In this case it wasn't automated. The fact that the indicator (AoA disagree) necessary for pilots to have the information was sold as an option is pretty terrible, though.

Not sure we need to go full House of Un-American Activities for a threat that's largely subsided before the time of internet platforms. Your last sentence is phrased as some sort of absolute truth, but I wonder when you say: "they are allowed", I can't help but ask: "by whom"?

Why do scale and reach matter?
Are you sure this is what the pilots think?

For me, the overall message is so flattering for the airplane that it sounds more as the result of lots of press training or at least as pilots being very careful in what they say because publicly critiquing this airplane is not good for one’s career prospects.

Setting up a simple cluster without relying on addons, or having to worry about which server in the cluster your writes are going to (bisected application configurations)
I'm not a network engineer so I'm unfamiliar with how problems scale by bandwidth. I do know that solving NP hard problems is difficult, so I respect Uber engineers for that at least.
I read the actual speech:

https://www.vox.com/2017/8/15/16154028/trump-press-conferenc...

It says, black on white: "You had people and i'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists. They should be condemned totally. You had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.". I conclude that if he says "I am not talking about neo-Nazis and white nationalists" that means he is not talking about neo-Nazis and white nationalists. You call it "tortured, senseless interpretation". I sincerely hope I never, ever will be in a position where you would review code that I need to get into production. Because I can only imagine what you'd see in a moderately complex code if you can't understand a simple phrase like "I'm not talking about X".
That depends. When you say 'Keep Poland Polish', what exactly do you mean?
Quit apologizing and just make a machine that is built with reasonable engineering instead of thin above all else.
Surely you'd refer to this as a "sexless" voice. Even if you believe that gender and sex are unrelated, voice is a product of your physical body and determined by sex. It's not affected by gender. In my opinion all this does is highlight that the "he or she" mindset is an unavoidable part of our reality, which is presumably the opposite of the intention.
How confident are my fellow American citizens that the American government doesn't effectively have the same power? I mean if someone showed up at your house in a black Suburban with an official-looking letter that seemed like a court order that you provide them with a backdoor and threatening you with all manner of charges if you go public. How confident are you you could walk away cleanly from that any other way?
Fireside Chat: Ben Uretsky, Founder of DigitalOcean [video]
The whole point of an anonymous complaint system is to allow accusers who might be intimidated by the idea of confronting you to have a way to get their concerns met.

Which means that anyone who has created an anonymous complaint system has traded off your right to confront an accuser with the accuser's right to not be intimidated and decided in favor of the accuser.

However there is usually another counterbalance, such as having the accusation silently disappear unless a neutral third party thinks that there is a point to the accusation.
> Given that I'm 22, and have spent the majority of my internship/working career in China

i assume this is a typo? otherwise i'm a little concerned about a culture where a 22-year-old has that much work experience, haha.

curious if you could talk a little more about the experience of finding a job in china, and what differences there might be from applying for jobs in the west.

and not sure if you have any experience with this - there's quite a bit in this thread about it being difficult if you're not ethnically chinese, but is there discrimination against overseas ethnic chinese who are not familiar with the language or culture?

for context - i'm thinking about working in china for a few years, primarily to build fluency and an understanding of the culture. i'm western-born; my mandarin is 'pretty good' but it's obvious from my accent and the way i put together sentences that i'm not native. i'm concerned that i might not be afforded the same leniency in misunderstanding the language or cultural norms that non-chinese westerners might receive.
By the time and effort spent going to vote, I bet nobody will just cast a null vote.

Compulsory voting is more democratic. The USA should make voting compulsory!

Ditto with the brexit referendum! If only they made it compulsory, brexit would have probably not passed (presumably many people just didn't expect brexit to win, and so didn't bother going to vote).
You can also - and this has worked very well for me - do a little affirmation in your head before you fall asleep. Just say to yourself a few times: "I'm going to remember (all) my dreams". This is super easy and very effective. After a few days/weeks I was able to remember several dreams that I had that night. The cheating you mentioned also works very well and you can actually do it a few times with each nap being 10-20 minutes.
biggest headaches I ever saw with it, was when Azure had several regions down (could happen with any cloud)... when it came up, it was spotty and the cluster itself never really recovered. Fortunately it was replicated read data from another source and in the end it was faster to stand up a new cluster. It could have been much more painful that it was for my own experience.
Because the safety of society at large, especially if we look at the perception of it rather than the real goals, can translate directly into oppression of those who are perceived to be a threat. The whole "build the wall" thing is pitched as being about safety of society, for example. There are people in this country - including prominent elected politicians representing party that dominates state legislatures, and that has broad popular support in most those states - who sincerely believe that BLM and CAIR are terrorist organizations. There's that whole "BDS is anti-Semitism" thing, and some countries already have laws on the books that make it a felony to participate.

Would you say that the political and judicial system of our societies is fair, or is it biased against minorities? If it's biased, why do you expect it to enforce any such "safety of society" laws in a way that is not similarly biased towards the groups that already are the beneficiaries of that society?

>The reason employers get hung up on this is because the economic returns to innovation are at an all-time high these days, and so developing that blockbuster new product or highly-efficient new process makes a lot of money.

Or how about this idea: The market is already saturated with (over)qualified candidates so employers have no reason to settle for someone without a PhD vs someone with a PhD (which certainly looks better, even though the benefits may be marginal).
He was really a mobility guy, ahead of his time that way. He loved to collect antique autos from the teens and twenties. He got started early too in the forties when they were available quite reasonably.

But he was passionate too about the Detroit streetcar and made certain I rode them as a wee lad the last week before they were removed.

Sadly in Michigan the politicians keep announcing transit plans - Howell to Ann Arbor and Ann Arbor to Detroit but nothing ever happens. Somehow I think it will take an entrepreneur if it ever happens.
"driven cross country without stopping for directions", "paid a toll without slowing down", "unlocked your front door with the sound of your voice", "attended a meeting in your bare feet", and "watched the movie you wanted, when you wanted" all turned out pretty spot on. I'd be willimg to give them "sent a fax from the beach" if an emailed PDF counts as a fax.
Luckily, in civilized societies we have a system of checks and balances in place to ensure that doesn't happen.
> I don't believe anyone actually thinks like that

You'd be surprised. The world is vast and gender roles are traditional in many cultures.
Learning to stick to the plan after getting crushed for weeks or months is something that can instill the worst doubt in the most confident of people.

Learning to separate the feeling of results (both highs and lows) from the act of playing was one of poker's toughest lessons.
At least since Facebook's current community standards were written, probably earlier:

We aim to prevent potential real-world harm that may be related to content on Facebook. [...] We remove content, disable accounts, and work with law enforcement when we believe there is a genuine risk of physical harm or direct threats to public safety.

In an effort to prevent and disrupt real-world harm, we do not allow any organizations or individuals that proclaim a violent mission or are engaged in violence, from having a presence on Facebook. This includes organizations or individuals involved in the following:

- Terrorist activity

- Organized hate

- Mass or serial murder

- Human trafficking

- Organized violence or criminal activity

We also remove content that expresses support or praise for groups, leaders, or individuals involved in these activities.

That seems like a pretty clear statement that people who are engaged in / advocating for / recruiting for groups that engage in mass killing will be censored.

It would surprise me if Facebook were the first internet platform with rules like this.
But being LGBT in China is much more accepted than in the west, so I don't see the point here...although not if they had sex tapes or is critiqued by the official media

See also the "minisec" from Arthur C. Clarke's Imperial Earth (1976):

Duncan Makenzie had a new minisec, and he was not quite sure how parts of it worked.

The 'Sec was the standard size of all such units, determined by what can fit comfortably in the human hand. At a quick glance, it did not differ greatly from one of the small electronic calculators that had started coming into general use at the end of the twentieth century. It was, however, infinitely more versatile, and Duncan could not imagine what life would be like without it.

Because of the finite size of clumsy human fingers, it had no more controls than that of its ancestor of three hundred years earlier. There were fifty neat little studs; each, however, had an unlimited number of functions, according to the mode of operation - for the character visible on each stud changed according to the mode.

I have two kinds of key problems with my MBP. The first is when pressing a key doesn't enter a character on screen. The second is when pressing a key enters two characters on screen.

Like you, I have found continued use to be a solution for the first problem. To speed up the process you can press down very hard on an affected key. My guess is that this eventually breaks apart any particles that were blocking the key from working.

I haven't found a solution to the second problem though.
We're in the context of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_v._Alabama right? If I understood correctly, Marsh didn't live in Chickasaw.

Here's a recent quote from Alan Dershowitz that's illustrative:

> I received off-the-record information that an order had come from the very top: CNN executive Jeff Zucker didn’t want me on CNN any more. My centrist, nuanced perspective was anathema to CNN’s emerging brand as the anti-Trump network.

That should make it clear that a very small number of media executives ultimately decide what we see on the news.

I’m just one data point, but I have definitely noticed that I procrastinate more when I haven’t slept as well.

>Isn't that what negotiation is about, when dealing with someone who won't effectively communicate their thoughts?

No, negotiation is the process that happens when you and the other party have decided you want to work out a mutually acceptable agreement. The other person in this situation has not decided to do that, and so the trick is how to get the him to that point. I think Zelphyr's approach would be a lot more likely than yours to have that effect.
Is this really a partisan issue or one that should be swept under the rug? The Carrington event would likely cause widespread disruption today.

The first time I ever saw live video teleconferencing was an AT&T device in the Epcot Center dome. I think it must have been around 1993.
On a somewhat related note:

The Apple Watch gave me a false positive for atrial fibrillation. I was having premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), which are _generally_ benign as long as your heart has no structural abnormalities. Basically, your left ventricle contracts spontaneously on its own in beteeen regular beats, which throws off the timing of the next beat. The end result is an irregular heart beat, similar to that of atrial fibrillation, but can be easily distinguished by human inspection of the EKG.

Needless to say, the result scared the crap out of me. I made an appointment at the cardiologist the next day, and I couldn’t sleep until I was finally able to see him. The stress from this actually made the PVCs more frequent...

The cardiologist took one look at the EKG strip from the watch and was able to identify the abnormalities as PVCs rather than afib. He still had me wear a holter monitor for 48 hours though. It turns out I had over 38,000 PVCs in two days, which is a large enough amount to cause concern about the risk of cardiomyopathy (“they” say under 10,000 per day is okay as long as they’re not bothering you).

So, at the end of the day, I’m glad I got the alert. I probably wouldn’t have gone to the doctor if not.

I do hope they improve the classification though so that it can distinguish between afib and PVCs.
I mean PhD might be a piece of paper but most people I know who do them in marketable fields don’t pay tuition and get paid assistantships
Another commenter recently posted a link to a lecture by Tim Pychyl [0] on another post about procrastination. I decided to watch it and came away feeling deeply informed about procrastination, why we do it, and how to solve it. It's a nuanced topic. Highly recommended if you have an hour to listen to this articulated lecture.

Do you think that a website like the daily stormer should be forced off the web? And should payment processors be required to allow them an account? (for server donations, etc).
Stated Problem:

"With plastics accounting for around 80 percent of marine litter"

Government:

"the EU rushed through deliberations on the planned restrictions in less than a year."

Solution:

"Ban the plastic that doesn't end up in the ocean".

Good job.

Maybe someone should have told them the plastic in the ocean comes from countries without trash service, and from fishing, maybe they could have funded some charity work or NGO's or something.

This ban isn't going to help a thing.

That's the point. Apple showed people what could be done with smartphone technology. Literally, Steve Jobs got on stage and played with music, maps, the web, etc. in front of people to introduce how the iPhone would be important to them. Everyone else was trying to find uses for the technology and they weren't coming up with anything compelling.

Smartphones (and PDAs) existed before the iPhone and people were trying to find that compelling combination and they were coming up with garbage like, "um, what about faxing?"

Yes, AT&T (and everyone else) didn't anticipate the iPhone, but everyone anticipated a good computer in your pocket powered all day long - they just couldn't make it a compelling experience. The iPhone is the meticulous design of applications, features, and affordances that make it a compelling user experience. Everyone kinda anticipated "internet on phones". The iPhone showed how the internet on phones could be a positive experience. Everyone anticipated music on phones. The iPhone showed how that could be the best music UI.

I don't think there's anything that the iPhone did that hadn't been done before, but poorly. The point is that a lot of it is bringing many different things together in a cohesive, compelling product. You could have bought a Windows Mobile device before the iPhone came out, but it was just crummy. Saying that it's because AT&T shows it faxing is a bit of a cop out. Microsoft had PocketPC devices for around 7 years before the iPhone. The name is literally a computer in your pocket. Everyone has been anticipating a computer in your pocket for a long time. Apple made it compelling.

It's possible that you don't remember all the talk about pocket computing, all the ads, all the failed products. They were there. Everyone was not only anticipating them, but trying to make them. They just didn't know what they were for, what the UI needed to be like, what affordances users wanted, etc.

Exactly, and I am surprised they don't know they should have a better process that is feels fairer to their customers. This seems to be treating customers too logistically, without enough regard to your own potential mistakes and biases.
I agree that this usually isn’t easy to accomplish, especially if bedtime procrastination is a serious issue for you. However, if you do decide to try and tackle this problem, this approach (identifying why you procrastinate and then tailoring a personal solution) is the way to go.

For example:

* If you can’t stop browsing social media before going to sleep, install an extension that cuts your access after a certain hour.

* If you feel too energetic to sleep, reduce caffeine intake/blue light exposure in the hours before bedtime.

* If you don’t feel motivated enough to go to sleep, use motivational techniques such as marking down streaks of days on which you successfully go to sleep on time.

Again, I'm not saying that it's easy, but if you’re willing to put in some effort, there are a lot of effective techniques you can use: https://solvingprocrastination.com/how-to-stop-procrastinati...
So make a specific account for research purposes like everyone else does.
