As far as points 1 and 2, the F-22 was designed to shoot down other planes. The F-35 was designed for a large variety of roles.
As far as point 3, that's a tough one. Nobody truly knows what detection technology will be like in 20 years. You may be right and the tech is obsolete quickly.
There’s a stronger need for CEOs to stop acting like mafia members and demanding 500 times what a standard employee earns. If you fleece the poorest, naturally you’re going to have people with no savings. CEOs will naturally pat themselves on the back and say “I deserve this”, but do their employees deserve to be living on the streets post retirement? It seems like people are no longer anything but a commodity to be used until broken and then discarded.

I had a recent brush with Daemontools in an embedded setting. Anyone who's messed with qmail back in the day knows who DJB is and what this super minimal thing is. It seems to be good at managing a pile of inter-related services, keeping them running as long as the electrons keep coming, but I don't see the tree concept, or dependency management, in them. They do one thing really well and really tiny.

In my experience very few people can say that. With all of the apps (games, line of business apps, audio visual apps) I've been involved with 90% of the sales/installs were iOS and 10% Android. IMO Android is rarely worth supporting for most apps. Not to mention huge piracy rates.
You're probably right about signalling, but I think there's a more sympathetic take. The story of the Buddha is of a prince who had all a person could ever want, only to discover old-age, disease and death. He realized that suffering is inescapable and universal and therefore requires a universal solution. I'm not rich or powerful by any means, but I'm doing comparatively well financially and in health. But it's never enough. Systems like Buddhism or stoicism answer the question: "I seem to be doing well in life, but why do I still feel so shitty?"

I thought that the argument being made is:

By doing formant synthesis, we can make speech sounds maximally contrastive. Part of what makes natural speech sound as it does is because the physical and linguistic process that generates it causes assimilation. The period of time during which a phoneme sounds also contains information about neighboring sounds.

So I was expecting something easy to listen to.
Nothing you are saying is explicitly wrong. Yeah life is easier when you have self discipline. But you're presenting what you're saying as a counter to what the other person is saying, which is that having all of those extra environmental factors (personal chef, housekeeping, etc) make it way easier. What you're saying is self discipline for the common folk is easier when they work on it vs if they don't. That doesn't negate that while them working/focusing on self discipline is easier by, say, a factor of 25% (numbers are just for explanation purposes), having to not worry about doing the dishes, planning your meals, etc makes it easier by 85 or 90%.

Everything is a matter of self discipline, sure, but that's one factor out of a billion. You seem to be arguing that losing weight or getting your life together can be as easy as it is for the rich and powerful if you want it bad enough and take some vitamin D. That makes it easier, but not as easy as it is for, say, Jeff Bezos to exercise every day.

That is how lift is created. Air currents are not consistent over the plane. Sometimes they could more downward which would require a pitch up of the wings to catch and create lift. This is not the same as perpendicular to gravity which is easily measured in the plane. This is an entirely different animal.

Socialism isn’t the problem, it’s decency. If you look at corporations, we’ve had a very strong socialistic corporate culture for some time. People who make almost nothing are the least capable of avoiding taxes that do exist, even if they are lessened. Large corporate entities on the other hand, are often given negative tax bills for reasons I can not begin to fathom.

But a similar quote about the young is completely real -- just not by Socrates (who after all wrote nothing), but rather by Aristotle -- Book II, Part 12 of his "Rhetoric" has him complaining about young people -- it's a long passage, but some gems "They have exalted notions, because they have not yet been humbled by life or learnt its necessary limitations; moreover, their hopeful disposition makes them think themselves equal to great things-and that means having exalted notions. They would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones: their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning."
So you DO mean right to place by address, when pressed about it. That's a pretty nativist impulse.
MA studied the doctrines of Stoic philosopher Epictetus. His surviving works are his discourses and the Handbook, which is an executive summary of his teachings. You may read it entirely in no time and understand the context.

They did increase the length of the nose landing gear, which helped a bit. But increasing the length of the main landing gear would have required moving the gear further outboard, as there was no space to extend the gear in an inboard direction when it's stowed. You can't move the gear a lot further out, or it ends up behind the engines. See this picture someone else on this thread posted: https://i.stack.imgur.com/GFzcj.jpg And you really don't want to move the engines further out, because that's going to affect the engine-out behaviour, and require a larger vertical stabilizer to handle asymmetric thrust.

There is a certain hipster Stoicism out there yes.
But Stoicism is also a valid response to the chaos and overwhelming hedonic treadmill of the 21st century. Look at the book below for how Stoiscim can help [1]:

"Anton shows how today's consumerist lifestyles distort and trivialize the need for self-worth, and he argues that each person faces the genuinely heroic tasks of contributing to the world's beauty, harmony, and resources; of forgiving the cosmos for self-conscious finitude; and of gratefully accepting the ambiguity of life's gifts."

I have found a stoic attitude a great method by which to weather the ups and downs of life.

https://developer.apple.com/support/app-store/

80% of all iOS devices are on iOS 12. An additional 12% are on iOS 11. Any device that can run iOS 11 can also run iOS 12.

By not supporting older devices, you are missing out on at most 8% of the iOS population. But even some percentage of those are able to update to iOS 12.

To target anything older than the 5s means you also have to target 32 bit processors. How much time are you going to spend targeting such a small user base?

Besides, if you have an older version already in the App Store, they can download “the last compatible version”.

> Man in the middle only involves encryption.

This doesn't feel right to me, so I would like to explore it if you are willing to help me understand. I've grabbed a couple of sources below which appear to contradict your assertion, but I'll admit I'm not expert on this topic so if I'm misunderstanding things, I'd appreciate being put right.

The Wikipedia article you linked to includes the following section:

> A notable non-cryptographic MITM attack was perpetrated by a Belkin wireless network router in 2003. Periodically, it would take over an HTTP connection being routed through it: this would fail to pass the traffic on to destination, but instead itself responded as the intended server. The reply it sent, in place of the web page the user had requested, was an advertisement for another Belkin product.

OWASP's definition uses plaintext HTTP as its primary example of a MITM attack:

https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Man-in-the-middle_attack

> For example, in an http transaction the target is the TCP connection between client and server. Using different techniques, the attacker splits the original TCP connection into 2 new connections, one between the client and the attacker and the other between the attacker and the server, as shown in figure 1. Once the TCP connection is intercepted, the attacker acts as a proxy, being able to read, insert and modify the data in the intercepted communication.

> The MITM attack is very effective because of the nature of the http protocol and data transfer which are all ASCII based
> The better team in <sport> wins the game.

In response, I give you this snippet from "The Drunkard's Walk" by Leonard Mlodinow:

> ...if one team is good enough to warrant beating another in 55% of its games, the weaker team will nevertheless win a 7-game series about 4 times out of 10. And if the superior team could beat its opponent, on average, 2 out of 3 times they meet, the inferior team will still win a 7-game series about once every 5 match-ups. There is really no way for a sports league to change this. In the lopsided 2/3-probability case, for example, you’d have to play a series consisting of at minimum the best of 23 games to determine the winner with what is called statistical significance, meaning the weaker team would be crowned champion 5 percent or less of the time. And in the case of one team’s having only a 55-45 edge, the shortest significant “world series” would be the best of 269 games... (p. 70-71)

And that's the case of repeated games which would lower the effect of variance on the outcome. The saying "that's why they play the game" applies. You can get around it by defining the better team as the winner of the game but then "the better team wins the game" is tautological.

This reminds me of The Slow Winter by James Mickens [0]

> "John was terrified by the collapse of the parallelism bubble, and he quickly discarded his plans for a 743-core processor that was dubbed The Hydra of Destiny and whose abstract Platonic ideal was briefly the third-best chess player in Gary, Indiana. Clutching a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a shotgun in the other, John scoured the research literature for ideas that might save his dreams of infinite scaling. He discovered several papers that described software-assisted hardware recovery. The basic idea was simple: if hardware suffers more transient failures as it gets smaller, why not allow software to detect erroneous computations and re-execute them? This idea seemed promising until John realized THAT IT WAS THE WORST IDEA EVER. Modern software barely works when the hardware is correct, so relying on software to correct hardware errors is like asking Godzilla to prevent Mega-Godzilla from terrorizing Japan. THIS DOES NOT LEAD TO RISING PROPERTY VALUES IN TOKYO. It’s better to stop scaling your transistors and avoid playing with monsters in the first place, instead of devising an elaborate series of monster checks-and-balances and then hoping that the monsters don’t do what monsters are always going to do because if they didn’t do those things, they’d be called dandelions or puppy hugs."

Look at the long wake of professionals and businesses left by Trump alone, who could out litigate most to get a cheap (or outright unpaid) bill. There are countless reasons to shift trust to a programmatic contract. Plus there are projects like Agrello which seek to implement the smart contract in a way that is also legally binding. Programmable money is here to stay, and there is a sea of social, economic, and technical benefit to be had from it.
To put it another way: the basic features of human life are universal.

Stress, betrayal, love, trust, anger, loneliness, etc.

It doesnt really matter how pretty your rooms are or how much you own, the fundamentals don't change in their existence, only in their proportion.

A poor person's life may be more stressful, but very plausibly, less lonely than a rich persons.

Stoicism is a universal solution to a universal problem: the vicissitudes of life.

Yes! But even if you have 2 out of 3 vote you can still have two sensors that can fail, say due to a bird strike or something else and MCAS would have to be disabled which means pilots need to learn to fly the plane w/o MCAS.

The one part of the narrative that Boeing has tried to Jedi Mind Trick away is that even if the pilots knew to disable MCAS by pulling the fuse, they're still left with having to fly a plane which no longer flies as the previous generation that they were trained on -- which is what MCAS was designed to do. So you still have a safety issue.

> Waking up early for purposes of pure self-maintenance, like meditation or high-end exercise, and getting to work very early, are often examples of this. It superficially feels like an accomplishment...

There is nothing superficial about those things. By doing those things you gain wealth that is not measurable by any amount of money.

> Less privileged folks may have to get up early just to barely make it to a shit job because of a 90 minute commute or a bunch of child care (or elder care) duties they have to perform. They may eat poorly or miss exercising because of all the obligations they cannot financially afford to offload.

Less privileged folk also tend to stay up late and fill their minds with mindless media streams (television, social media etc.), drink alcohol to relieve stress to name a few stress relief activities. Daily stress should not be relieved by mind numbing crap, but by taking care of ones mental and physical health or seeking psychological help from professionals. Yes people tend to have too many obligations in which case people should re-assess their values and make sacrifices to not burn themselves out and die early.

Life is complicated but we also tend to over complicate it.
I'd say there's a big difference between someone consciously thinking in a certain way, and building associations, many of which they don't notice. In fact, it's been one of the principal aims of psychology, sociology and economics to uncover how people act on such opinions without knowing they actually hold them.
I like your spirit, but there's another conclusion we can draw: very few of us outside of a few special areas in embedded are "engineers". We tinker with bits and bytes to make business systems. Sometimes we bump up against some general engineering fundamentals. But we're just technicians meeting business goals.
