Go to https://backpacking.net and check out their "Tips" page and other content and I highly recommend you go to https://backpacking.net/bbs.html and sign up for their forums.

That site has a lot of top notch info and the forum members collective experience is a great resource for those looking to get started and those who've been backpacking for years.

Go there before you start buying gear and you'll save a ton of money and have better gear. And you'll be lugging a lot less weight.

To be fair, it's not clear that the time someone would spend flying a Cessna between their 200-1500 hours in the US is actually helping them become a better 737 first officer..
I've noticed an interesting thing in terms of "youtube rabbit holes" towards extreme content. I'm what American society would generally consider "liberal", and I watch a lot of videos about fixing climate change, medicare for all, etc. Interestingly, I don't usually get "liberal" recommendations on my home page.

However, if I watch a video from a conservative angle, even just one or two videos, I almost immediately get extreme right wing content in my recommendations. Stuff like PragerU, ReasonTV, NRATV, etc. Even watching videos that I wouldn't consider right wing, just critical of certain left wing sects, like h3h3 for example, tend to almost immediately lead me into videos like "DUMB FEMINISTS GET OWNED - COMPILATION".

It's strange the rabbit holes almost always take me deep into right wing territory, but never really into left wing territory.
Whenever I went to YouTube I would get suggested videos that were either interesting and related to stuff I had watched, or not interesting to me, but no problem. The algorithm just didn’t quite judge what I might be interested in as well as it could.

Occasionally I would try dismissing one of the suggestions in the hope I wouldn’t see similar again, but then I’d still see it’s kind repeated and was just disappointed it wasn’t taking my request into account.

Suggestions are hard though. No problem.

One day, though, I made the mistake of following a link to YouTube which turned out to be to a video of an American political figure (not even sure if he is a politician) whose views were of the sort that court controversy - on purpose, I guessed.

What I didn’t expect was that YouTube would then offer me videos featuring the same person - or people with similar ultra-polarising messages - every time I returned to YouTube.

I hadn’t realised that not only does YT take into account what you have watched a _lot_ of, it also seems to massively favour what you have watched once - if that is something especially controversial or perhaps otherwise ‘special’.

While I don’t mind pointless suggestions I will ignore, it’s very concerning that without ‘liking’ or repeatedly watching such material, people are being suggested it time after time, even when they ask to have it taken away.
At one point I understood the distinction of `"Free as in Freedom", as opposed to "Free as in beer"`, but I have since forgot.

This is a little off topic, but I watched a Jordan Peterson video once and now my recommendations are fairly extremely right-wing. I'm center-left and the views Peterson espouses aren't politically extreme (although I've heard some are pretty bizarre) at 'worst' he is a moderate conservative (I say "worst" only because at the current cultural moment "conservative = bad" is the prevailing meme). So I'm not sure exactly how YouTube works, but it feels to me to be trying very hard to push me in a particular direction. To be clear, I don't think YouTube has a RW political agenda, but perhaps it has an economic interest in pushing people to the fringes (maybe people at the extremes click more ads or something). Or perhaps they have a left-wing agenda and they want me to associate moderate-RW views with extremist views (seems unlikely, but then again lots of prominent media companies are pushing a similar agenda).

You would also be fine with LGBT or leftist "hate speech" being banned? Lets say china or saudi arabia tells youtube to remove content they find "hateful", would you support it?

Youtube can censor since it is a private company. But we are talking about the liberal cultural love of free speech, not a legal one. Especially in the US where we have defended speech for nearly 250 years. Now, we have a strong leftist authoritarian push to censor which I find abhorrent and dangerous.

What ever happened to the american ( and western? ) ideal of if you don't like it, don't consume it? As a person of color, I find people like you extremely dangerous and a threat to the american way of life.

And it's ridiculous that you claim "they are not censored in any way". They are by definition, being censored. Not by government, but by monopoly tech companies. Do you really want to live in a world where a handful of companies decide what we can see, hear and watch?

I can't stand the insane contradictory leftist rhetoric. On the one had, you claim tech companies are too powerful and evil and shouldn't be trusted. On the other hand, you want to give tech companies power to censor.

This is not correct. From the perspective of the buyer long-term contracts limit liability for an extended period of time, which reduces variability in expenses and lowers overall cost. Not every buyer values the benefit equally but to say 'no one likes contracts' is simply inaccurate. It's a big deal especially in enterprise markets.

The single manipulator could be mounted with a gun/bayonet, which could also be turned around to provide a surface for a door breaching ram. The thought of such a thing is pretty terrifying.

Of course, this is just wholesale replacing a DOM subtree with another. But there's also probably some point where just parsing the new subtree is faster than attempting to create and apply a diff.

To clarify - tenant income from renting out one of the rooms of the place I'm trying to buy (not existing tenant income).

Basically the peninsula is unaffordable to own alone, but if I could get a two bedroom and rent out a room I could do it (alternative is having to buy in SF a one bedroom for 780-875k). Banks don't let you do this though and without this I'm priced out of two bedroom units.

I suspect you could create some new mortgage instrument that allows groups of friends to buy a house together since now we typically just do this via renting and splitting the cost for individual rooms (though I hesitate to suggest this since it would ultimately drive up prices even higher). It's also hard to find people willing to risk this, but I think a standard contract structure could go a long way to reducing the social risk.

Gravity is probably one of the smaller problems. I don't see the point of going to Mars until we have a lot of experience doing similar things on the Moon or just on Earth. We should also have done a lot of long-distance flights like going to an Asteroid or just orbiting Mars first.

Right now a Mars colony would be plain suicide.

Upgrading to managed switches, I had thought about making a bunch of VLANs in a similar manner. But I ended up settling on something much simpler.

There are essentially just two segments / types of switch ports (I may have stuck with the many-vlans thing if switch ports had RGB LEDs showing what zone they were in...). First, the "trusted" network, which does switch management, servers, reasonably-behaved hosts, etc.

Then, a second "access" segment. Ports in this segment are setup to not be able to talk to one another through the switching fabric at all - the only thing they can talk to is the router. Ports on the same switch are prohibited from talking by the switch's config, and different switches are given different associated VLANs. This is good for visitors, Android, Internet of Trash, etc.

For routing, the horizon seen by each device is controlled directly by its own macaddr on the router itself. Two hosts on the same segment can see drastically different routing tables and Internet connections. This isn't perfect, as it can be easily spoofed unless I start pushing the switchport-mac mapping out to the switches. But it works for now.

But I believe "sandboxing" in the original comment was talking about the machine itself, not network access. So PC gaming means being disciplined about getting another machine, or at least a second GPU for PCIE passthrough in a VM. In general I think we're in a time of decommodification. The easiest way to sandbox between security boundaries is separate machines, of which there is an inexpensive surplus of.

Former Epileptic (brain surgeries in '17) here. After I had two generalized seizures in my sleep (good thing I was living with someone at the time or I'd have never known) I met my local neurologist and was put on Depakote.

From there out I had complex partial seizures and would simply zone out for a minute, give or take. If I was around my girlfriend or coworkers I told them to let me know otherwise I'd have no idea that I'd had a seizure aside from occasionally peeing myself a bit. Incontinence regularly correlates with seizures.

I mentioned this elsewhere but there was one specific time that I was walking back down the street with coworkers, dropped my sandwich and kept walking. One of my buddies caught up to me, handed me my sandwich and that 30 sec. or so was just gone even though I kept walking down the sidewalk.

I was right temporal focal and have the pathology report on the hunks my surgeon cut out on my wall. The photo of my post op MRI with noticeably less brain on one side than the other is a great conversation starter.
I generally agree, but these networks are the conduit for so much speech that I'm sympathetic to the idea that it constitutes censorship, especially when we're not talking about "hateful views" but moderate views (e.g., advocating for tighter border control) which are deemed 'hateful' as an excuse to justify censoring/deplatforming/etc. Doubly so when bonafide hate speech ("cancel white men") goes unpunished altogether.

> low-speed

Not sure this is right. General aviation pilots often think of wing stalls as a consequence of low speed (their planes don't have AoA indicators!) but they can happen at any airspeed: they simply happen whenever the critical AoA is reached.

I think the idea is that the extra lift generated by the nacelles due to the engine position causes the plane to reach high AoA at e.g. full engine power, not just when flying slowly.

I think it's also the case that the plane does not actually become aerodynamically unstable, it just starts to handle differently (yoke pressure-wise) in a way that fails airworthiness requirements.

So it would only cause a stall if the pilots continued to pull back on the yoke into the stall while it's not fighting them as much as they're expecting it to.

Sales are never just the product. At the very least there are rules about scams, basic safety, radio interference... Sometimes it's okay to have legal requirements that lead to fewer problems down the line. You might not think this particular rule is worth it, but it's not out of line with existing rules. And a lot of people do think it's worth it.
Also consider the massive improvements in avionics since Vietnam. You don't have to close to visual range anymore to confirm the target is a jet fighter and not a passenger plane.
Once again - is the strategy boeing doing rational for them? Yes. So it's not mind boggling. We can call it dishonest, showing disregard, careless, whatever... but the fact that boeing are trying desperately to save the type certifications is not somehow beyond grasp of the human mind.

> the idea is not to remove the traditional hierarchical file system from the low level, but rather to remove trace of it from nearly all human interaction.

But that's the issue. You can make it easier to use tags, you can make it so that they are what most people use most of the time, but you still want everything to be able to use paths, in a way which is still as universal and intuitive as possible, so that it still works properly everywhere when you do have a good reason to use them instead.

> Consider instead the epub format. It too is one or more html files with images, css, etc. However unlike the traditional local static copy of a web page, all of those files are zipped together and stored as a single file (an epub is a glorified zip file with a special file extension. You can extract them with `unzip`.)

Here's something even better -- what macOS does with applications. You look in /Applications and see a bunch of programs. Those are really directories with the application's files in them, whose names are the names you see but with a .app extension. If you click on one, you don't see what's in the directory, you cause the application to open. But you still can see what's in there, by using the actual path with anything that accepts file paths, and that is still useful. Because sometimes there is a .plist file in there or something else you want to modify, or you just want to see what's really there.

This is better than a zip file because it's still native. You get the behavior you want, but if you want to see or modify what's in there, you don't need to use a special program or go through the extra steps to unzip the file and zip it again, you just access it using the real path. Windows at one point did somewhat the opposite and exposed the contents of .zip files as folders, but that doesn't seem to work as well, e.g. modifications are not permitted or are inefficient or have other issues because you have to repack the whole file with every write.
Am I just fortunate that it has been years since these types of complaints have been true with my teams? My recent (last 3-5 years) experience is that modern designers very clearly understand UX vs. UI, and design intuitive experiences to help their audience, not just make a pretty web site. Frankly, that fields has become so mature, with designers having deep understandings of UX to the point where I just sit back, let them soar, and code what they come up with.

The only place I still see poor design work is from coders (myself included), who jump from "I'm good at CSS" to "I'm a great designer"
100% right. Adding sixel support to more terminals would do more to broaden graphical support.

On linux, just adding sixel to gnome-terminal and libvte would go a long way.

FYI, I picked up sixel because it's the closest thing to a standard, and because technically I saw it as good enough for most cases.

3 letter agencies will kindly ask/force Facebook to share their face-detection data and algorithms, no need to do this themselves.

In fact I think the biggest co-conspirator of NSA and other agencies is Apple. First they put fingerprint sensor inside Home button, so you can't avoid using it, and have to share your fingerprints whether you like it or not. Now that they captured enough fingerprints they move to FaceID, which sensors are so conveniently placed that you cant avoid having your face scanned, even if you don't ever set up FaceID for your own use.

Well, you can take the analogy right back to where it came from, WWII and planes as an effective countermeasure to ships. Small cheap planes could carry armaments still very devastating to larger ships.[1]

It's not entirely analogous to the current discussion, because there's not really a commensurate difference in maneuverability of F-35 to the drones, but other similarities persist.
