> Did Descartes really think?

For the purposes of his proof, yes:

Dubito ergo cogito ergo sum.

The witness of a doubt is the witness of a thought is the witness of a thing, hence a thing must exist.

Descartes at that point in his argument doesn’t make any assertion to the nature of reality, merely that each of us can be sure that something exists, even if our interpretation is completely wrong: the very act of doubting existence is witness to existence.

People project their own model of self into those terms, but it’s merely trying to make a broadening categorical argument and not a particular interpretation of what the objects normally represented by those terms are or how they behave (eg, times exists).

A static Descartes with the experience of currently doubting is sufficient witness for the proof, which Descartes would have himself experienced directly — the cogito is a witness to that experience of Descartes.

> reading the manual

Runaway stabilizer is a memory item, there should be no reading of the manual involved.

Unfortunately the design of MCAS defeated the checklist of this particular memory item when in lower flight altitudes - which goes back to the argument that the 737 MAX never should have been given the same type rating as the older models.
Audio can be controlled via the wheels on the steering wheel. Suspension height is remembered and adjusted automatically in accordance with your car's location. There's no vroom vroom to worry about in an EV yet the torque is always instant. A/C is automatic -you probably want it around 72F/21C, just let the car automatically figure out the best way to get to that level.

Model 3 supports CCS - in Europe natively, in the US via an adapter. While I agree about the self-driving goal shifting they're doing, it's still the best driver assist out there and you can simply opt out of buying it.

So, I don't get it.
Germany has a lot of electric and chemical engineering talent - you might have heard of Bosch and BASF. These companies are already involved in the car manufacturing supply chain. "Working in silos" allows engineers to specialize and get in-depth knowledge.
I switched from strong-side to alternating late in my training (17, had been swimming for 10 years). It was awkward for a few weeks, but became comfortable. My times improved through this period.

Let me get you up to date:

"The deal — four years after the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers nearly brought down the financial system — was criticized at the time, raising concerns about whether some banks had grown too big to face criminal indictment."

"Citing anonymous officials close to the case, the New York Times reports that federal prosecutors spent months debating whether to issue criminal indictments for money laundering. Authorities eventually ruled it out as such charges could ultimately cost HSBC its charter to operate in the US, seriously undermining the country’s fragile economic recovery."

Public transportation does not mean owned by the public, but generally accessible to the public. Many trains are privately owned, including most trains in Japan (maybe all post 1987, when the national railways were privatized). These are still considered public transportation.
> Boeing chose to have the indicators that show the trim is on as a separate add on, not as a default feature (i.e. an indicator showing the trim is enabled).

This is nonsense. The optional light was just an AoA disagree sensor. It doesn't provide any information about trim.
Yes, that makes sense. The SDCard port on the pi seems to be slower than the USB bus.

I will say that I think your estimate for the USB bus on the pi is probably too high. In practice, I don't think it can do more than 250 or so.
No, the wheel has an extendable crank handle and is meant for manual use precisely when the electronic stabilizer trim is cutout.

But aerodynamic forces can conspire to make it very hard or physically impossible for human force to rotate it if the elevator is being used to combat the stabilizer at high speeds. See here for more discussion of the physics behind it: https://www.satcom.guru/2019/04/stabilizer-trim-loads-and-ra...
Its possible and I think it was demonstrated in one of Mentour Pilot's videos that both pilots can work together to manually trim. Boeing put notes in the manual that this may be needed and it would not break the manual trim system to apply that much force to the trim wheels.
It cuts out any electronic input, namely autopilot influence and the electric trim control present on the yoke. The trim wheel is not electric, and is the intended control when electric stabilizer control is either unavailable or intentionally disabled.

> Not only do ICE car companies not issue OTA software updates

Not true. In fact Jeep did this. And many of the same people who praised Tesla were saying "OMG, vulnerability vector" when it was Jeep.
I'm not dismissing the tech itself, I'm dismissing it's capabilities relevant to competitors as being insufficient to make those competitors rely on a competing manufacturer for a core component of their car. And also that upcoming competitor vehicles are poised to capture the lower end market before Tesla gets there. Once Tesla gets there they'll have quality associated with their brand to carry them some way, but it may be an uphill battle against competitors who've been entrenched for a few years.

I'm not discounting their chances, I'm just saying it's very, very far from an automatic win for them. Far from a pivot to OEM, I'd be more inclined to bet that one of the big manufacturers that is lagging on EV's acquires them.
Yeah, that looks pretty good! I've been "saving" it, so to speak - I'll watch it someday as a treat. =)

By the way, I met Amy Howard (American voice of Yuki/Nova) some years ago and she's a very sweet and friendly lady. Also shared an airport shuttle with Ken Messerol (Kodai/Wildstar) and said hello, but declined to pester him beyond that out of respect. Didn't want to bug him.
Probably because China has a problem with authoritarianism is every region.

Tienanmen Square happened because the Chinese government claimed there was "unrest" and "crime" when there was just protests about human rights.
shooting on a pop up range is cool, but without the basic marksmanship fundamentals it's missing something.

It's not a "platonic ideal", basic marksmanship is the foundation of all shooting. If you can't do it, you shouldn't be on a pop up range or any other.

I'm not claiming that shooting with an acog is bad, and they're used plenty in training -- but an acog is a crutch if you don't know how to shoot. Anybody can shoot well with a scope, it takes real work to get hits at 500 yards with iron sights. Your fundamentals must be perfect, and that's the standard the USMC has always held.
Actually, the Moveable Feast Machine is a "Robust First" asynchronous distributed fault tolerant cellular-automata-like computer architecture that DOES reason about what might happen if computers randomly explode in mid-program!

(One of my favorite topics, that I've written about in other threads!)

And here's a robust, self-healing membrane, that tolerates random failures (like tiny little exploding computers):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq0uvF4mm7Y

>To demonstrate the robustness of three membrane implementations in the MFM, an instance of each was placed side by side and subjected to a failure probability of 5e-5 per site per EPS. That is, each site is erased, on average, every 20,000 event cycles.

Intercellular Transport also demonstrates some robust chemical and biological programming metaphors:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YucCpYCWpY

>Two cells are interconnected by self-healing wire. The magenta substance is being passed from the cell in the west to the cell in the east. The black particles are an ectoplasm, allowing the membrane to identify sites outside of the cell. Similarly, the yellow and blue particles are an endoplasm specific to the cell in which they reside, allowing the membrane to identify sites inside of it.

Demon Horde Sort exemplifies the Robust First approach:

Into functional programming? Here's a demo of programming the Movable Feast Machine with λ-Codons:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DauJ51CTIq8

>λ-Codons provide a mechanism for describing arbitrary computations in the Movable Feast Machine (MFM). A collection of λ-Codon molecules describe the computation by a series of primitive functions. Evaluator particles carry along a stack of memory (which initially contains the input to the program) and visit the λ-Codons, which they interpret as functions and apply to their stacks. When the program completes, they transmute into output particles and carry the answer to the output terminals (left).
Not OP, but perhaps minor skeletal deformities. Or serious injuries. For example:

> By using a combination of 3D printing and adult stem cells, Dr. John Szivek hopes this will help injured combat veterans, cancer patients, and victims of serious injuries.

> "We developed the idea that maybe we could put in a scaffold that regenerates bone very quickly by adding stem cells from the patient, their own stem cells and by adding some calcium particles and using a pattern that would cause the bone to grow really quickly," he says.

> The 3D plastic bone shaped frames called scaffolds are locked in place with two screws and a rod that can all be easily removed when bone forms over the scaffold.

> "After about six months your body tends to give up producing new bone and starts producing scar tissue so if we can cause healing to occur really quickly we can save the patient from having that problem," Szivek explains.

Couldn't you apply standard tail call optimization and turn it into a trampoline?
They never had the altitude to do that...
First off, have you served? In the USMC? If not, you don't get an opinion. If you have, then your opinion is just that. I personally have had tech items fail where iron sights were better. If Marines get used to the ACOG and never use the iron sights, this is a massive problem. You fall to your lowest level of training. Train like you fight, yes, but learn to master both all the time. If the ACOG fails, you should be able to detach and change your dope in less than 10 seconds. If not, you need more training.
This brings back memories. I remember going through the course many years ago, but I got busy with other projects and quit about 25% through. I'm glad it is still out there and still considered a good source.

They manufacture cells WITH Panasonic and they have their unique chemistry, as seen in the more durable cells manufactured for Powerwall/Powerpack.

The touchscreen allows for amazing software updates and looks cleaner. The most important functions are on the steering wheel and the - pretty great - voice control available via a press of one of the wheels on the steering wheel.
I think this is totally reasonable at certain times. E.g how long will it take to add feature x with scope y to our existing product is a decent thing to estimate (and estimate only) for stakeholders to prioritise appropriately.

I think most problems people have with estimates is when they are applied to things too large, or too small, to reasonably estimate. E.g How long will it take to build this product from scratch with a laundry list of features. Or more commonly, to micromanage. Why does anyone care whether this task will take 2 days as opposed to 3? That’s not meanginful information unless you’re mistakently expecting the individual user story estimates to add up to a reliable assembly line of work.

I’m happy to estimate when it has some business purpose. If not, it’s meaningless busy work or worse.
> In order for the document to help me, I clearly needed to find the four error parameters that used to be displayed with the blue screen on older versions of Windows. Windows 10 hides all the information by default, but I discovered that it’s possible to re-enable display of the extra error information by adding an entry to your registry.

I hate stuff like this. What's the point of hiding the parameters, instead of tucking them away in the corner of the screen or something? It just makes things needlessly difficult.

I know the answer is going to be "but it makes the UI look beautiful and most users don't know what the parameters mean anyway!" Error UIs don't need to be beautiful, they need to be functional. Definitely have a nice, clear user-friendly error message, but keep the overall screen technically informative. I can imagine that the only thing more infuriating than having a computer that won't boot, is having one that won't tell you the problem unless you change registry settings (which you can't, because it can't boot). Leaving the extra information there does not harm, and it give people something to Google if they do run into a problem.
> unlike Python that only has built-in control structures, here any function can look like if/for/while if it takes a lambda body

That's absolutely fantastic. I've had to do a lot more Python programming for work, and I've been thoroughly disappointed by Python's lack of support for custom blocks/structures like that (contrast with Ruby or Elixir, where any function can take a do ... end, or with Tcl where "blocks" are just strings).
All our societies have a long track record of censoring "obviously objectionable" things. Historically, that has meant pretty much anything, from communism and race mixing, to public kissing and D&D. I think at this point the onus is on those who want such vague definitions to prove that they won't be applied outside of the very narrow scope that's advertised when selling them - and by "prove" I mean "show me how the checks and balances will work", not "I pinky swear we'll never ever use this anti-terrorist law to target political activists".
> Is there no way to trim the horizontal stabilizer electrically without also enabling MCAS?

Correct. One wonders if this is a consequence of trying to maintain the type rating and therefore not being able to introduce any pilot training about the MCAS feature, and therefore not being able to introduce any control features for it.
I think most people these days highly undervalue a system of roads that allows anyone to go to one place to another for the low cost of road construction/maintenance. Before paved roads and trucking, railroads basically charged monopoly rates to farmers, business, etc and extracted all extra money from the system. Unless water transportation was available. In that case competition kept railroad rates in check.

That said, I would say that congestion pricing could be a good thing for road building as it gives a value on building new ones. Hopefully the Boring Company can have some success and get tunneling prices down. Then with some idea of how much people will pay to not sit in traffic, we can get some tunnels built and start enjoying life again instead of sitting on congested freeways.

With enough high-speed tunnels one could convert all surface roads to max 25 mph mixed use and return the earth to the people like all those anti-car people dream of. Work for the win-win outcome.
About six years ago I updated a laptop to 16gb of RAM that only officially supported 8gb, and I remember thinking "the greedy manufacturers lied! It works fine!" However, I was running Linux, and now upon reading this I wonder if I would have had the same issues if I had tried booting into Windows.
I don't remember where I read it, but my understanding is that the MAX simulator does NOT simulate MCAS behavior.

Ok, but only if we can also stop saying React and Vue in the same breath. React is the spearhead of a galaxy of the biggest, heaviest, enterprisiest solutions in it's class, and it has it's place, but Vue is at it's best in lighter applications. You can do quite robust SPA development with Vue, but I'd argue it's even better when it's sprinkled lightly into a project, as a drop-in replacement for the ajaxing and updating we used to use jQuery for.
SQL has a lot to recommend it; we've basically built a company around the effectiveness of SQL as a way to interact with data. I will say that it's pretty bad at code re-use, and `with` clauses are pretty awkward for breaking down a complicated analysis into small stages.

Kusto/Azure Data Explorer [1] is a really interesting new query language, focused on analytics. It fixes a lot of the things that are awkward about SQL. A simple example:

StormEvents
| where StartTime >= datetime(2007-11-01) and StartTime < datetime(2007-12-01)
| where State == "FLORIDA"
| count

I made a severe mistake trusting these credit repair companies after paying a monthly fee for 8 months and they could not delete a negative item from my report, the only thing they did successfully was to raise my credit score by 80 points though I was still struggling with my credit until I read a particular review on Journal times about a particular hacker named Derrick. I got his info off the site and I reached him via email DERRICKREPAIR@TECHIE.COM, +1 830 308 7397. In 5 working days, Derrick came through and also verified the changes. Email him now to be a witness and also a testifier to his good works, tell him Jerome referred you.
Thanks, that makes sense. When the report says that the pilots found manual trim impossible after STAB TRIM CUTOUT, do you think it's referring to an attempt at manual electric trim (expected to fail) or both pilots manually moving the trim wheels with the handle?

Agree wholeheartedly. I often feel like when reading the hooks docs that they are describing using them with an assumption that you already understand the problems facing the core team that led to them adding hooks. Articles like this give a lot of clarity to the why behind hooks. I totally get the benefit of not using classes but there is so much more you need to know and the docs assume you have gone through the burden of doing it all in classes and if you haven't, reading the hooks docs make statements that don't always made sense purely from "hooks allow you to avoid classes and their complications."

Or flying into windshear changes the angle of attack on you.
Maybe, when they started thinking about a plan B, they were anyway already much too fast to use flaps?

I guess that there is a max speed for flaps (maybe the computer even actively refuses to extend them if the airspeed is higher than X to avoid that wings are destroyed).
A lot of its ideas got folded into subsequent versions of ECMAscript, so in a way everyone uses it now. But for the actual "language" and runtime, it seemed from the start to have a built in expiry date, so I tried to avoid it as much as possible, mostly successfully.

Ultimately, if you want tomorrow's language features today, Babel feels like a better approach. You can choose your level of "buy-in" and then one day, certain things "just work" because they've been built into the runtime, and your code stays the same. Or at least, that's the hope. Making a new sub-language to get a handful of cool features/syntax involves a lot of pain for not enough gain, IMO.
It would be interesting to add a journo jargon extension to this website so you can understand what certain phrases could be referring to. Kind of like "a stranger"

"putting everything in a single touchscreen is a cost cutting measure being sold as trendy BS" this, I am amazed at number of people (mainly investors) who think this is a _feature_ and something other OEM's envy. Even the damn McKinsey report shows that OEM's have to do this cut about $1800 in costs which will help bring EV's to mainstream in the next decade.
How in the name of god is this issue still so bad in 2019?
This is a great question. I am not sure why it is not being asked more frequently.
Nope. (And arguably it shouldn't: a stall at low altitude is much worse than a stall at high altitude, because you lack recovery time. Most fatal stalls begin below 1000ft AGL, which is where this plane was. So your stall avoidance system shouldn't shutdown just because you're at low altitude: that's when you want to avoid stalls.)

Any explanation that denies everyday's experience might be fun but mostly useless. That we cannot give a clear explanation of our perception of time does not deny it. Electricy existed before humans could explain it.
Which rare earth are you talking about, and in which quantity?
I like the idea and genuinely hope that fact checking becomes more mainstream. Seriously, kudos to the author for building something. But what I'm not getting is why a news platform would use this, unless this is intending on becoming a news platform itself?

I think there is an underlying assumption that the general world cares about things like "primary sources" and "logical fallacies" enough to bother hovering over the text or viewing the content, and that there isn't an intentional manipulation of these things by media organizations to fit a narrative. Maybe if this was a browser plugin that came with <major browser> by default and automatically highlighted fact checked statements in exiting articles. That way folks wouldn't have to opt in, but as it is, whats the incentive for either the populace or the media to participate? Think of it this way- how did the fact checking in the examples get done? Someone spent 2 minutes on their favorite search engine. People willing to do that will do it if they have the time, and people not willing probably aren't interested in information that would contradict their opinions anyway - unless it comes from a source they already trust, like someone in their bubble. My own experience with this is that the folks who will care exist but are rare. Others, you can literally watch their eyes glaze over the moment you introduce a little cognitive dissonance.
Are there any airliners from any manufacturer where the pilot always has enough authority to override full trim?
