You cannot prove a general claim, such as 'requesting evidence never harms an argument', with a single example that provides support for it.

One class of bad-faith demands for evidence is the rhetorical ploy of trying to suggest that an argument is lacking evidence by demanding absolute proof where 'only' strong scientific evidence exists - see climate-change denial and anti-vaxxing for examples.

PJON Is done to leverage of whatever form of connectivity (wires, light pulses, radio waves, other protocols) even the internet. For now people implementing a PJON network generally hops through the internet when required.

Although, I have a great trust in the maker's and open-source community worldwide. As you can see a lot of people experimenting with electronics and building stuff have unveiled the truth behind the scams that we now call "consumer electronics products" and they are starting to build and buy open-hardware that runs open-software.

A privately built and maintained network infrastructure where communication is free and if required anonymous will be the next demand.

There is a large movement worldwide, many are doing so already, there is just a lack of standards and protocols designed around those requirements. PJON is an attempt to fill this gap.
Their report merely states that a simulator was available, and that the crew did not train it it. It even includes the fact that Boeing did not consider such training necessary.

How is it untrustworthy to report these uncontested facts? You are drawing a conclusion that the article does not make, namely that the lack of simulator use was the singular cause of the accident.

It takes some gall to accuse the Times of a false conclusion that happens entirely in your head.
I once looked into cracking the DRM on Amazon ebooks (that I had bought legitimately). It worked, but was a PITA.
The question you need to ask is what % of the workforce considers their potential extra wealth (for most people, small) worth working for. The more people who choose not to work, the more expensive labor is. The more expensive labor is, the higher prices are, the less effective your basic income is, the more your wealth inequality increases, the more jobs move to China, the more the economy shrinks.

Tesla shares tank after quarterly figures 'substantially worse' than expected
To get the most out of a native app, I would want to do client-side encryption/hashing (right now the server sees plaintext for a millisecond, just like most servers treat passwords), and use mobile notifications instead of email, for the communication mechanism. Not saying a PWA wouldn't fit the bill, but unfortunately it's a bit beyond just wrapping it in a WebView and packaging as an app. I suppose as an MVP maybe? Just go get on the stores?
It seems to me that it's not just a conflict of interest, but the interest of the agency is actually diametrically opposed to the interest of the talent. By keeping the pay of the talent they purportedly represent as low as possible, they make the overall 'package' easier to sell to a studio (which is how they actually make money).
Spelling it sike is leet.
Because their lives by global standard are actually very very good?
The endless interruptions of adverts every 5 minutes does tend to encourage me that the experience of US television is worse.

Some of the actual content is much better, but the experience of watching television in the US is drastically worse.
I believe the US army has created an EPA superfund site out of one of its rifle ranges due to the sheer volume of lead that built up into the earthen berms where privates learned how to shoot. Just because the kinetic energy has been taken out of the bullet doesn’t mean you can just ignore them. A similar effect has happened in former battle grounds, leaving the locals exposed to all of the known consequences of early life lead exposure including (ironically) an increased propensity for violence.

For these reasons the Army has expressed an interest in developing a non-toxic rifle bullet that’s cheap enough for their usages. Swaged copper bullets exist, but at ~$1 a pop they’re appropriate for hunters and not for an army that goes through billions of bullets.

Unfortunately many people on the webs are upset about this, perhaps out of the misguided opinion that we’re not being cruel enough in our foreign wars. In reality it’s well within US interests to reduce lead exposure to soldiers and combat zone civilians, especially to ensure that those zones transition better to peace once the fighting is over.
> I got a perfect multilingual console

No, you didn't. If it was using Unifont, there are many scripts and languages that it was unable to display correctly because they require "shaping" that Unifont cannot support; it lacks the necessary glyphs, let alone the OpenType (or equivalent) tables to control the rendering.

Displaying one nominal glyph per Unicode character does not result in readable text for many languages. Just because it seems adequate for Western alphabets or for CJK doesn't mean it is sufficient for true multilingual support.

He’s right. The problem is the incentive for “popularity” running amok.

If Linus’s angry emails are on a distribution list, the exposure is minimal and the damage is contained.

His same excess in social media is reproduced and exploited for various reasons, positive and negative and overflows into unrelated circles where unrelated people have input into something containment would prevent them from being exposed.

This state of total diffusion without commensurate dilution is the problem. Everyone is a perpetrator and everyone is a victim.

An analogue in biology might be tumors. The individual cells might not be bad but them running unstopped can have negative consequences.

Social media needs to attenuate virality. But that’s at odds with their current economic model. So in the meantime they implement useless ineffectual bandaids they know don’t address the problem head on but gives them a plausible “we’re trying” or “shikata ga nai” 仕方がない
Regulations. Plain and simple.

Your employees aren't allowed to work their asses off. They're going to expect to be able to get to work at 10, and be home by 5.
Non-native speaker. I loved the writing and find it engrossing!
Religious beliefs are a funny thing: both apparently absurd and great metaphors of spiritual life.
Much in the same way as a floppy disk icon on your PC is absurd (you are NOT clicking a floppy disk) and incredibly useful.
So I think it's better to refrain to refer to religious beliefs as wrong.
Disclaimer: I'm not religious.

> but shouldn't planes always be controllable by the column so long as the plane is mechanically OK?

The problem is that you can easily exceed the aircraft flight specifications if you enable unlimited control. If you pull the stick back at max power you can seriously risk the creation of a stall, which is why MCAS exists in the first place. The whole goal Boeing had was to create a safe plane by letting software ensure it was always flying within the safe envelope for mechanical stress.

> That is: a pilot in panic at low altitude should never be required to do anything more than he basically can with hands on throttle and stick, to avoid disaster?

You would hope this, but what makes the determination that the pilot is at a low altitude? The altimeter tells you where you are in relation to sea level, not the nearest distance to terrain. You could be 10,000 feet above sea level but only 1,000 above a mountain. There's a lot of sensor data you'd have to take into account if you were to try to enable a higher degree of control based on how safe/dangerous it is to give that control.
Multiple-Cursor Magic in VSCode – 3 Approaches
Came here to say this. I am a minority but never found myself misplaced in the USA. The country I came without much to offer but honest work and positive/open mind.

Whereas in Europe I've been victim of physical abuse just because I am not white and the immigration path is also completely broken.

There is suffering everywhere I lived Canada, USA, France, Denmark, Japan, Brazil. Some places take care better of the unprivileged indeed.

...yeah the health care has become a big problem but it is for the Americans to solve it their own way.
Given that the MCAS operates in intervals and does not provide constant input, it doesn't really stand that it's similar to a stick pusher as far as maintaining constant response. It seems as though it will make an evaluation and push the nose down regardless of how much stick input there is.

If the MCAS was constantly variable, like a mechanical stick pusher, then what you're saying would make sense. IMO, as reported, it seems like an 'anti-stall device' that automatically adjusts the plane's pitch regardless of stick input. Depending on conditions, this presumably could be little to no stick input.
I think you're misunderstanding both my role as a UI developer and as an artist...

It takes critical time and energy to reduce the complexity of a products' features to something a layperson can use, and a layperson is usually barely paying attention.

As to your second point, I wasn't a developer, I was an artist, attempting to ask real questions about privacy and spark real discussions and possibly getting myself in trouble to start a conversation.
Yes of course. Please tell me if it doesn’t bother you, why do you prefer local storage to cloud storage?
Europe is not a country, nor is it third world xD.

Pretty much all Americans and Canadians who came to Germany loved it all and above, stayed here, and build their companies and family around.
Well, Berlin is a special case for a capital city. The rest of Germany probably sees the people living there just as you, haha.
Not sure where you got that from but of course Europe has cold brew coffee, at least large parts of it.
Most people aren’t marketers. The most common jobs are waiters, cashiers, retails, food prep, etc.

We need those people to do those jobs. Why would they?
To add some anecdata to the void: I have been receiving a form of basic income (veteran's disability compensation) for the past 8 years. It's an amazing "privilege" that has allowed me to live fearlessly, take risks, and has kept me afloat through rough times.

I have, in no particular order:

- Dropped everything and moved to a different state with no job lined up (multiple times)

- Taken a big pay cut to spend a few years working in the non-profit sector

- Co-founded my own non-profit (it failed)

- Joined a friend's company to help rebuild/scale it (it was acquired)

- Pursued different goals in different schools (currently working toward an MS in CS)

As someone who has lived in poverty most of their life, knowing that my basic necessities can be paid for no-matter my circumstances is a game changer. I would not have done most of the above without knowing that I could scrape by irregardless of it working out. My path would be far more linear and safer.

I feel free. To be clear, I threw out the American Citizen Instruction Booklet (do well in high school -> go to college -> get a job) at age 17 for the military anyway. But more broadly I feel that I don't have to participate in the rat race out of necessity. I have the freedom to experiment with my life and to try whatever I want to without (much) worry. I don't look forward to the contraction of my free monthly deposit. It will come at some point.

That said, my economic participation has been inconsistent. Those 22 year olds incentivized by the structure of our society to get into a safe and high-paying job ASAP and to stay there for the next 40 years will probably contribute quantitatively more $ into the system than I will.
A good option, but unfortunately technical, is to buy ebooks and strip the DRM so that you can keep them outside of the store's ecosystem, back them up, read them in your choice of reader, etc. This is also useful for library ebooks.
>for the same cost

It's a higher cost since you're now also paying the employed.
I agree with CaptainZapp’s comments next to this one.

The process you describe does happen, but IMO, clearly articulating the facts and assigning findings of probable cause (the latter is what you term pointing fingers) is an essential element of that improvement process.

The is a strong safety culture in aviation overall. It’s rare for one isolated mistake to result in a hull loss, but rather is usually a series of issues where the “holes in the Swiss cheese all line up”.

No doubt Boeing and others are going to improve technical and human factors elements from this crash. It doesn’t help anyone in this process to not assign probable cause, IMO.
They also don't have chicken wings served out of a bucket.
Interesting. It seems the only way to get a movie made that's not a studio-originating project, with people who _you_ want to work with, is 1) get your own financing (like DiCaprio schmoozing the 1MDB guy to fund Wolf of Wall Street), or 2) play tit-for-tat with something the studio really wants to make (like George Clooney giving them Ocean's 12 in exchange for them funding his Good Night, and Good Luck).
To be fair, everyone kind of already knew that "it's all about who you know", so to speak. So the fact that disenfranchised people tend to stay disenfranchised is not really news to most people who followed the inevitable implications of that adage.
> Every b̶r̶o̶w̶s̶e̶r̶, OS, a̶n̶d̶ E̶l̶e̶c̶t̶r̶o̶n̶ A̶p̶p̶ could bundle it.

Every browser and Electron app could bundle it, but this seems like the "wrong" place to implement this. I'd suggest that they could bundle it temporarily until OSes catch up.
I save all my photos and videos I take, I don't feel like it's that much, but still a good 700gb. I personally love having it, and look at it at least a couple of times a year. I just love having access to all this footage. Last week for example we were talking about how our backyard used to look like with my daughter. I was able to pull out old footage of our backyard, and even a video of a tractor cleaning up our backyard. It's nothing vital, but it was very nice for me to be able to look at it again. I'll keep organizing and keeping old photos and videos.

I do agree that mp3 and movies are a bit useless. I still have a 1TB or 500gb drive somewhere full of movies. I probably didn't boot it up in the past 5 years.

The one thing I regret not keeping, is all my projects since I was a kid. I programmed a lot of things between age 10-15. Video games, created art on paint and photoshop. All that is gone. I wish I could access it even if I know it wouldn't be good quality stuff.
Why does this sounds farcical? I’ve spent some time in Europe, lived a couple of different countries for a year or so each, and this comparison seems generally fair to me. And wouldn’t that be the expected outcome of more socialist economic policies?
we have to start somewhere. if we're unwilling to even budge on small things like carrying your own bag, do you think we're going to be able to stomach the large scale changes?

There are things I can control and there are things I can't. I can't control how much fossil fuels are used when flying a commercial airline. But if everyone makes daily changes in their lives, we can force the capitalists to make larger impact changes by sheer lifestyle.
THIS IS A TEAM EFFORT and you're on the team that loses the earth.
Unless NVidia skips 7nm altogether, AMD is more likely to take advantage since AMD is already releasing Navi on 7nm later this year.

It also remains to be seen what the yields are for 5nm. It might be the case that only small area chips like cell phone SoCs and laptop CPUs can be manufactured for a long time, as was the case with 12nm and 7nm. GPUs typically need as much area as they can get to fit more compute cores.
To each, his own, I suppose. I thought that was hilarious and didn't detract anything from the message. I can see why it would be off-putting though.
For a long time in the U.K. they didn't even beat match, because being a DJ was about song selection and arrangement.
If someone connected a big industrial stop switch to a solenoid and pointed that solenoid at the trigger of a rifle aimed at the person pressing the button I don't think you would expect anyone to look particularly hard at the person who manufactured the switch.

If it was indeed a bird strike which took out the sensor then they seem to be completely beyond all possible blame. Even if it wasn't I'm sure they could point at a host of documentation regarding the usual MTBF of their sensors and why this application was inappropriate.
>I planned on waking up early and revisiting said collection, but slept through my alarm, going from a planned 8 or so hours of sleep to almost 10.

This person and their DHH (dear honorary husband?) obviously don't have any kids. I'm starting to see where her idealized view of life in Europe is coming from. I've been to Europe many times and she is clearly living in some sort of upper class bubble. Why don't upper class Europeans understand how unrealistic their lives are?
I just know one person in my peer group who watches "classic" television.

Most people just switched to online on-demand streaming services.
I can claim that for the list if you want. Torvalds is American and lives in Oregon; most of the major Linux contributors were sponsored by American companies if I recall correctly. Red Hats and IBMs of the world.

America must be doing something right.
The "hard work pays off" delusion is woven into the identity of America, making it extremely difficult for the individual to shake off despite all evidence to the contrary. It's convenient for those who benefit from the hard work of others. They can expect hard work, without actually providing much incentive.
Like you, I'm not convinced this wouldn't turn into a spiral of lazyness. I would add though, that if this is implemented properly you should always be getting more money with work than without. So even if the taxes rise there should always be an incentive to work.

Currently in Germany for example there are a lot of people on long-term unemployment that have enough children and low demand for their skills that if they worked they would earn less. This in principle is one of the advantages of UBI. That if everybody gets it, you don't have to take it away as soon as somebody earns money. So everything you earn, will be beneficial to you.

Of course if UBI is set too high it might not be attractive to work for only a little more, but right now you have people that would earn less if they worked.
He learned about this "packaging" crap back in 2002.
What took him so long?
I think it's a matter of ongoing debate.

Some people think UBI should be enough for emergency rations only, similar to food stamps now. Some people think it should be enough for a very-low-income but working person's expenses now. Some people think it should be enough for a few basic treats as well.

For example, the Living Wage Foundation uses the Rowntree Foundation's Minimum Income Standard to set their 'living wage', which does include luxuries such as eating in restaurants and even an annual holiday (I struggle to afford that!), so what they think is 'minimum' clearly isn't literally just enough to just 'live' on.

People have the same attitude towards what UBI should be.

Would you set UBI to below what Rowntree thinks is the 'minimum to live on'?
There's also https://www.google.com/get/noto/ which is what Ubuntu uses for emoji and is proportional and colored.
I noticed people having this problem. Not sure what to do about it. :( Going to look into it more.
I remember watching a video in which it said how most current engineering jobs these days are really just destructive jobs.

They basically take an existing natural resource from the environment and turn it into another form of resource that human could make use of. But this in turn destroys that very same environment we human also live in, effectively wiping out ourselves in the process.

Those engineering jobs basically only convert one form of resource/energy into another, but they actually didn't create anything new out of thin air themselves.
It doesn't require capital. You can do it without involving other people. You don't need profit motivation. You can complete projects without the requirement that they produce enough income for you to survive off of. No deadlines. Less responsibilities. Quitting doesn't hurt other people. If you enjoy writing poetry you're also saving the money you would have spent paying for dopamine.

Edit: It's very difficult to move ideas towards better ideas if the only feedback is silent negativity. Was the question I responded to supposed to be rhetorical?
Much the same as saying, “If you were unemployed and homeless, you’d know how amazing this job in an Amazon warehouse is.

Look at how many people would rather work here than starve!”

Very true. And yet, there are better jobs with better working conditions. This is not to say that the USA is the Amazon Warehouse of developed countries, but you need to compare jobs to jobs, and developed countries to developed countries.
If you are seeing commercials, you are doing it wrong.
One could argue there is merit in building a large, meaningful network

Another quote extracted from the text:

Socorro sucks. I'd be jaded if I had to live there. My parents pushed me to go there NM Tech, but I had been going to high school in Utah and would rather go there for college. NM Tech actually said in their brochures at the time (2003) that "students often live on campus or in one of the many affordable trailer parts nearby" or something to that effect.

If it's any indication, I did move back to Albuquerque in 2009 to try to find a job after graduating with a degree in Physics - because I did miss the culture and the place, even though I loved Utah too, but I couldn't make it work at the height of the recession. Utah wasn't much better - I had to take a part time mobile app QA position, but more of my adult friends were there.

There are pure science jobs available at Los Alamos but they can be a bit hard to come by, I would consider moving back to Santa Fe for the right position.

I would also say that Albuquerque does have my favorite weather. Winter shows up but it's not obnoxious, same with summer. September is the best month for a nice trip
I think they have us beat on the reality cooking show front- British Bakeoff is an oddly positive show while the judges are still providing a valuable critique of the contestants skills. Compare this to to Chopped, which just feels rushed and intensely competitive and cutthroat.
