> That is available to almost every American if they just put in the work.

Some people "just" never had the opportunity of an education like yours. And through no fault of their own. It's easy to think they should have "just" put in some more work from where you are standing. But the deck was already stacked against them when they were born. It's very arrogant to think that you would have prevailed if you'd started out in their spot. It's incredibly unfair to justify your position on your hard work when this same path was just not available to other people. When it would have been much harder for them.

I'm using the statistical "you" for the person that lives a privileged life. That person comes from a privileged position to start with, statistically speaking. Maybe you the individual poster are an outlier, but that doesn't change the picture.

I can't think of any innovation the US has created recently, other than new various ways of undermining its own citizens.

>I think this is a great thing, and is why America is where most of the innovation, cultural, and political power is.

No, that's just a byproduct of being wealthy -- which is a byproduct of starting with looting a huge plot of land, not being left devastated by 2 world wars (420K Americans died in WWII, for contrast millions of people died in European countries each with 1/5 to 1/20th the population of the US), not having any serious enemies within near borders, succeeding a couple of declining (due to national uprisings) colonial powers and so on.

When the US was not as wealthy, but still as much if not more individualistic, most innovations were coming from Europe (Watt, Volta, Faraday, Maxwell, Bell, Marconi, Siemens, Lumiere, Kelvin, and so on).

And a heck of a lot of innovations today (and increasingly more in the future) come from the hardly individualistic China, which, -like the hardly individualistic- Japan in the 70s and US in the 20th century, has gone over it's "copy cat" stage -- take DJI leading in drones, to Huawei P30 Pro leading in low light mobile photography as examples).

> You can't possibly know instantly all the exceptions to handle for a function (given it calls other functions w/ exceptions), whereas, if it returns a fixed bunch of error codes, then you can know why that specific function failed and handle appropriately.

presume that, despite not being able to know all exceptions to handle in advance, you somehow have knowledge of all error conditions in the event that you're using error codes?
Well, they can only make so many cars. If 10000 are in transit, then that's 10000 they can't book as sold. It is interesting though that they can't count these as sales, as many companies do many things with deferring sales, I would think if they are in transit, they are (sold). If they are sending 10k cars there without them actually being sold, that would be something else entirely. Perhaps general acceptable accounting rules don't allow for booking sales before delivery, but I'd find that crazy to be the case.
While true, that was not driven by natural native growth whereas in Asia it was. Not only that but the base pop was already very large, so a trebbling is significant.

For instance Belize tripling its pop now is no big deal, Bangladesh tripling its pop is a huge problem, maybe catrastrophic.
Not in this experiment, which is what I was talking about.
I don't really get why you worry about toxins in weaponry used to kill people TBH.
It’s basically the list the master process keeps of the worker processes it has spun up. The workers can report back some stats that the master tracks about each. Apparently something in that report back process could be exploited to run arbitrary code.
is there any evidence they still have a backlog?? Seems like the only backlog left is countries they just began delivering to or haven't started deliveries there yet..no one knows how big that backlog is
I use postgres on my raspberry Pi 3B as my development server (along with PostgREST and Nginx) and it has served me faithfully for more than a year. Many people are surprised to see the setup and how fast it is to spin up a backend server. The response time is also pretty good and it's amazing to see such a tiny machine pull off such a feat.
I think the "know" is meant to be the symmetrical kind.
But when the electric trim is completely shut down, manually restoring a sane trim position takes a very long time and time can be limited while close to the ground.

I think that what they would have needed was an intermediate mode, "disable the decisionmaking, but keep the power-assist". But that would only make the checklists even more complicated, at the cost of valuable time and more possibilities for user error.
The Canadian & Venezuelan oil sands have about 4 trillion barrels of "Original Oil in Place". At current oil prices and level of technological development, only about 10% of this oil is considered recoverable and as such counted as reserves. But technology marches on, and if we start running out of oil from other sources, so will oil prices. So really, the world has hundreds of years worth of reserves.

Much more concerning is that we have to keep ~80% of those 52 years worth of oil in the ground to keep climate change under the 2 degree goal...
I have a hard time seeing your point. The things you say are good are all far more available to Europeans. If your claim is that Americans apply themselves more, then that means they get less for their effort. It seems like you have fallen into the trap of thinking exceptions are an indication of success, when it is really the opposite. In successful environments success is normal.
That's called luck and it's one of the reasons we have shared healthcare in (most of?) the EU.

There's many things that can happen in one's life (and where one doesn't necessarily have control over) which would swing the pendulum from "a better future for you and your family" to "fucked for life". In the US if bad luck hits you there's less chance of getting back on track.

And people are getting back at you with "predictable lines" because apparently you've been in your stubborn perspective for a looong time.

There's a union vote up for the relationship between the WGA and the big 4 agencies, and he is on the WGA council. So this is him giving a stump speech for voting for the restrictions on agencies. Here's an article on the subject:

> You can't possibly know instantly all the exceptions to handle for a function (given it calls other functions w/ exceptions),

You also can't possibly know all error codes to handle for a function if it calls other functions returning error codes, unless a type system enforces that for you. In which case you should compare to a language where the type system enforces that all exceptions are handled.

This is one of the most obvious things that really were lost in the advent of the big social media sites. Those weird little forums that have their own communities, with the sites having their own little eccentricities.

With how everything is just in one platform, it becomes impersonal as well. I heard about mastodon which feels like it sort of is taking this 'little communities' concept again, but I really wish forums would have a comeback.
Not really, fighter pilots can do 2 or 3 of those and then have to retire due to compressive damage on their spines. The Gs involved are not benign, since it needs to also cover the case of pilot ejecting on land quickly.
I only read the title; but I'm expecting performance generally to be abysmal.

I/O is quite poor on rPIs and that's what PostgreSQL needs more than anything. More than memory or CPU for sure.

The best thing you can ever do for your database is (in this order):

1) Have enough ram to fit your entire dataset (mostly due to joins)

2) Have the best raid card money can buy.

--

An SD card is shocking enough but on the rPI it's going over a USB bridge which takes CPU cycles too!

Still probably performs better than postgresql on WSL; since the I/O is the major bottleneck there too.
>As we have now learned, switching to the manual control is useless when the aircraft is in this condition (high speed, stab down, elevator up).

That wasn't the position the Lion Air flight was in.

I don't think there is much debate that the Lion Air flight was recoverable since the pilots on the previous flight recovered from the same issue:

>As the Lion Air crew fought to control their diving Boeing Co. 737 Max 8, they got help from an unexpected source: an off-duty pilot who happened to be riding in the cockpit.

>That extra pilot, who was seated in the cockpit jumpseat, correctly diagnosed the problem and told the crew how to disable a malfunctioning flight-control system and save the plane, according to two people familiar with Indonesia’s investigation.

>The next day, under command of a different crew facing what investigators said was an identical malfunction, the jetliner crashed into the Java Sea killing all 189 aboard.

That was tongue in cheek, perhaps? Torvalds is Finnish. Of the Swedish minority in Finland. He lives in the US now (he moved to the US when he got a job in Transmeta), but that doesn't make him American.
Indeed, the classic American valuation of life is measure by how many possessions one is able to acquire, leading to larger houses, cars, etc. to store said possessions in. Those of us who value free time (i.e. for hobbies) more than the latest technologies and products are out of luck in the workaholic American lifestyle.
Dress Up Your Blog: 10 Best WordPress Plugins for a Fashion/Lifestyle Blog
Its mostly because of two things. The primer that detonates and starts the powder burn is made up of lead and other metals. Thats great and getting in the air.

Second, the copper jacket on rounds like the cheap stuff you train with tend not cover the back of the round leaving exposed lead - so a lot of lead fouling gets generated by the hot gases atomizing the lead on the tail of the bullet. That makes it into the air, ground, and surroundings when you fire. So you breath some in before the range ventilation ever has a chance. I feel that's probably especially bad at indoor ranges because you've got partitions on either side of you. lead's also great at sticking to shoes, clothes, etc and going home with you. So - de-leading soap ftw!

Some rifles make this worst (especially if shooting suppressed or if you're a lefty) because the gas is much closer and much more in your face).

Most indoor ranges also have subpar ventilation. So if shoot at the indoor range i try to limit my time, ask to be on a range with less other active shooters, use fully enclosed metal jacketed round's, use de-leading wipes when I'm done, and don't bring my shoes into the house when I get home. Really, I just stick to outdoor ranges where I can snag a big private bay. Even then, I still use de-leading wipes on all the things.
The internet of the past was not useful for family/friend communications. I don't want the world to see pictures of my kids (even though nobody cares it still isn't a good idea), but I do want my parents to see them. Social media solves this problem. The interesting things you list were too public and so didn't.

Don't get me wrong, I do miss the forums of the past, but there is also some good in what we have today.

I've all but dropped off Facebook but made an Instagram account earlier this year and am enjoying it. The photo-centric nature seems to eliminate 99% of the toxicity of Facebook. I've subscribed to the accounts of friends, architecture/design centers, Archillect, and accounts that post pictures of owls and otters. None of this promotes deep thinking or meaningful discussion, but it's a nice five-minute addition to my day. Plus it gives me a place to post my own photography where friends and others will see it.

That said, I'm hardly a Facebook/Zuckerberg fan and will jump ship the moment another platform becomes viable.

One downside of using laptops is that it can create a barrier between dj and crowd, I've seen lots of people who only learned djing on a laptop not mastering their performance anxiety and instead burying their face in the screen as much as possible. I always enjoyed when djs made an effort to be 'with the crowd' and always tried to do so myself - not having a screen around for every gig can help learning not to play like a turtle.
I believe he's right. The whole system is game-ified to maximize time spent. You get nothing but small carefully timed dopamine hits that keep you hooked and your productivity/life balance goes out of the window.

Personally I avoid profanity in my writing, because I don't think it would add anything. But this essay illustrates that it can add quite a lot, if you know how to use it. Deployed with expert timing and creativity, in the context of other effective rhetoric, it conveys the depth of Simon's outrage and disgust. I still don't think I would achieve anything by peppering my comments with f-bombs, but I think he has earned them.
>You know what the poor need most? A marketable skill. A good job

I thought freedom to play and study as kids. A full belly. A supporting family. Family connections. Not fearing for tomorrow (eviction, money trouble, muggings, etc). Money for college. Not having to work to support anybody but themselves.

You know, the kinds of things it would be statistically (if not entirely) safe to presume you had as a child, or that most successful (e.g. college wise) kids have, and most unsuccessful kids lacked.

https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/the-wireless/373065/the-penci...

But yeah, lacking all that, a marketable skill and a support program will do.

And they might even be able to make it, if they work doubly as hard, and manage twice as many hardships as those who had all of above provided for them from birth.

I really disagree with your perspective, what you need to recognise is that people in the West effectively have a system of wage-slavery over other places, and it's based on chance not some deep system of justice. I love nature and animals and extinction fills me with existential sadness but at the same time if someone wants to kill Komodo dragons and the alternative is making 5k a year by being worked to death with no security, my aesthetic sadness about declining beauty feels a bit smug, and I certainly can't be moral about it. Until the world has anything approaching rough equality, fair enough go massacre white rhinos if that's what it takes to get a fraction of the freedom I was born with.
How many Americans have enough capital to comfortably risk a startup and or and survive the fallout? If they fail, what protections do they have to not live their days on the streets?

I don't think having a higher quality of life deincentivizes creating new valuable startups. If anything, it has a positive effect because those individuals are able to take more calculated risks towards a project and fail gracefully.

If you're working paycheck to paycheck and in debt up to your eyeballs, that American dream of success carrot may look awfully appetizing but it's far too risky. It's significantly different if you're wagering that capital you saved up to build a pool or new garage vs. the finances for next months rent/food.

Those are the types of decisions many Americans have to make.

Frankly, I don't understand how some can slave tirelessly climbing the corporate ladders for small gains. I'll do only what I need to and focus on my private life. I work to live, I don't live to work.

If I do live to work I would seriously consider starting a business because that's the only way I could dedicate that commitment of my limited time on Earth. Slaving 60-80 hours so shareholders n-degrees separated from me can get another Yacht isn't motivation. I'd much rather become your competitor. The problem is, industries are becoming more and more capital intensive to enter, so becoming the competition just isn't feasible for many cases, not without heavy outside investment or an absolutely brilliant idea that competitors can't simply clone or capture you before you get momentum to compete.
This has some points of merit. The issue with the American system is what happens when you get rocked by no fault of your own despite hard work and initiative. This becomes somewhat more apparent when you are older. Did you randomly pick a career path out of the hat in your 20s which dead ends in a dying sector twenty years later due to shifts unforeseeable two decades earlier? I'm not sure how old you are but there is a path dependency in life and particularly when you have family obligations in both generational directions (caring for children and aging parents) it isn't so easy to just totally change career course halfway through your life. Not impossible - but pretty darn difficult.

Then you need to fear for feeding your family and providing them with medicine. Did you or a loved one get really sick along the way? Tough for you.
I really like the idea of a cryptographically provable signature for a set of coordinates in space and time, but not sure how such a thing is possible.

The sibling comment says it better than I ever could. It's a mechanical device exposed to 500mph wind speeds and temperatures from 40c to -50c. It's a wonder that they work at all.

I don't think they are particularly prone to failure though. MCAS aside, having the stick shaker activate along with a host of other indications would probably be cause for a precautionary diversion by most pilots.

Having no autopilot and / or an unreliable altitude would most likely disqualify the aircraft from entering RVSM airspace which is where these aircraft would normally operate.

I see the asserted problem. I discount it, in this very specific sphere, because at present the protests of "but the logics!" is acting as a sinecure for shitheads.

Not empowering shitheads is more valuable to me than Emerson's foolish consistency.

When the situation on the ground changes--and it hasn't yet, don't @ me--I will reevaluate my position, because my brain works and I do not feel tethered to immutable positions (on topics like this, at least).
Yeah, man! Nothing will ever come close to modded phpBB forums with the light on dark themes. A well-moderated forum encouraged so much discussion and productivity.

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

Perhaps. Another way to say the same thing however is something along the lines of the following. If you behave... poorly within a relatively narrow community, given sufficient authority you can just get away with it. Maybe you drive people away but it's all pretty invisible to the broader world and those that remain just put up with it because that's the way things are.

Perhaps that's deemed acceptable.Perhaps not. But just because things happen behind relatively closed doors doesn't make them right.
