I have very limited interactions with Uighur or Tibetan so I said I'm not expert on the issue.

This guy has traveled in the Xinjiang/Xizang area and might give you some basic idea what that region is like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5t2sLWuYyc
(the first video of his travel within China videos, there's no playlist I think)

If you know enough Mandarin, you can probably find some Uighur Tibetan people on Chinese social media like douban.com

Also some westerners live in the Lijiang / Dali region where there are many Tibetans

This isn't uncommon. Twitter is another prime example. Their "rules" state that you cannot (since 2009) make a three letter handle in your username, and yet @AOC was able to acquire hers. I don't have any problem with this but it does bring up the fact that there seems to be certain people able to skirt the rules because of "who they are". What about famous people getting verified on Twitter when the verification program was supposedly halted? It goes on and on, but the fact of the matter is "money talks".
This shouldn't be marked as a dupe since it's the actual report.

It sounds like they did everything right. There are two fateful moments:

>At 05:41:46, the Captain asked the First-Officer if the trim is functional. The First-Officer has replied
that the trim was not working and asked if he could try it manually. The Captain told him to try. At
05:41:54, the First-Officer replied that it is not working

At this point they were in stable flight and the trim wasn't that extreme. An inability to manually adjust trim is a huge design flaw unless it was pilot error.

>At 05:43:11, about 32 seconds before the end of the recording, at approximately 13,4002 ft, two
momentary manual electric trim inputs are recorded in the ANU direction. The stabilizer moved in
the ANU direction from 2.1 units to 2.3 units.
>At 05:43:20, approximately five seconds after the last manual electric trim input, an AND automatic
trim command occurred and the stabilizer moved in the AND direction from 2.3 to 1.0 unit in
approximately 5 seconds. The aircraft began pitching nose down. Additional simultaneous aft
column force was applied, but the nose down pitch continues, eventually reaching 40° nose down.
The stabilizer position varied between 1.1 and 0.8 units for the remainder of the recording.

They re-activated electric trim control but only slightly adjusted it. MCAS kicks in to send them nose down. There's no further pilot correction recorded. Again, unclear here if there is an airplane issue preventing them from adjusting trim or a pilot error.
They are the same. I believe it's deliberately written this way to make the comparison with monad more obvious.

The report came out in August of 2016, so the data must be from before then. The next question would be, what has happened to Uber ridership levels over that same timeframe?

According to this article [1], combined Uber and Lyft ridership in NYC was about 200,000/day in July 2016 (the most recent possible date for the original data). By July 2018, daily ridership was almost 600,000.

Is possible that Uber/Lyft lower congestion when first introduced, but worsen it over the long-run?

The FinCEN (FBAR etc.) stuff is the troublesome stuff, the IRS is actually very easy to work with and the forms are not difficult to file once you know what you're doing (you can go to a cross-border professional filer the first time around to get a handle on it, and then just follow the memos about changes to the procedure each year).

As a Canada-U.S. dual citizen I used to find it very difficult to file both, but I think it's just a knowledge gap.

The IRS has obligations to you which you'd be laughed out of the room for attempting to exercise with the CRA, so there are positives, even if the tax codes and anti-money-laundering procedures are somewhat onerous.

Americans are (in my opinion, excessively) concerned about money laundering and "dark money", so the result is that money is accounted for when Americans control it abroad. The procedures stem from that desire to account for holdings and transactions of Americans abroad: reporting any transactions with other U.S. persons abroad, reporting bank accounts which exceeded 10,000 USD at a credible exchange rate (the IRS posts their own) for the time during which it exceeded 10,000 USD, etc.

Evevn here in this thread, you see people concerned that somebody who gets rich in Canada, using Canadian infrastructure and capital, may not be paying "their fair share" of U.S. taxes, which is pretty ridiculous if you imagine the injustice of double taxation that entails. I might make enough money one of these coming years that I have no prudent choice except to become resident in the U.S. to avoid these tax peculiarities.
I'd be skeptical about this. The extreme/rare event is Tesla got hundreds of thousands of people to put a down payment on a car with zero marketing costs. Unfortunately, Solar-city and taking on convertible debt vs. equity have shrunk down their runway. Had they not done the related party transaction and issued equity, I think they could ramp production at a slower rate without the quality issues you hear about. I don't think Elon's episodes have helped his case either the last year. An interesting question though is whether there was anyone else in the world who could have created a car company in the 21st century, and gotten it to as far as he has?
Not sure how you're seeing that.

From the article it says the incremental reporting (every 60 seconds) were:

> progress: 540.0 s, 171.8 tps, lat 55.105 ms stddev 946.851

> progress: 600.0 s, 24.6 tps, lat 435.693 ms stddev 2945.727

> progress: 660.0 s, 405.8 tps, lat 24.108 ms stddev 134.692

So they were getting between 24.6 and 405.8 transactions per second.

On the server, he's seeing:

> progress: 60.0 s, 9192.5 tps, lat 1.088 ms stddev 0.924

So the server is doing 9192.5 transactions per second. The test wasn't run as long, but the server is showing much lower latency and standard deviation, as well.

It seems to me SQL is, paradoxically, too low level, much like assembly language, in the sense that it makes you specify the joins. Over and over and over again. Why doesn't it infer them from the structure of the database (the relations between tables)? If the answer is performance, well, that means we are in agreement, and SQL is not high-level..

In summary I think a QL should produce a table from a database when provided with 1) the set of field names desired, and 2) the set of constraints on the desired rows. Anything that goes beyond this is in need of justification.

It is for this impedance mismatch (of understanding) that I have an aversion against SQL (therefore I am not well-versed). I basically see SQL as an exercise in complexity, resulting from the constraints prevalent in the seventies. Please prove me wrong!
> Congestion pricing doesn't actually fix any of that, it just squeezes even harder on the people who the lack of alternatives

Every other city's experience with congestion pricing shows decreased car use in favor of alternatives. Effects on local grocery prices were minimal. And in the end, revenues paled in comparison to the health, infrastructure, policing, quality of life and economic costs of traffic congestion.
Back in 1999 or so, I was doing undergraduate research for a math professor. My job was to make interactive visualizations with GL (not Open-, but Iris-). Among other things, he had a way of computing, if I recall correctly, the vertices of a dodecahedral tiling on a 3-sphere and projecting them into the Euclidean coordinate system used by GL. (If my math terminology is wrong there, it's because I don't fully understand it now nor did I then.) Anyway, these visuals bring back memories of that time. Some day, I hope to understand what on earth he was talking about.

I like ebooks.

I like being able to resize fonts, I like looking up words immediately, I like carrying around dozens on a phone and/or kindle.

I like the sales. I follow reddit's fantasy and printsf subreddits, and there isn't a week that goes by without a book on sale for $1.99. Pricing could be more advantageous (lower for ebooks) but at the same time, I just bought a few of Greg Egan's books to fill out my collection (Diaspora and Quarantine) and they are right now on the US Store at least, $2.99 ebook versus $12.99 paperback. And, the ebook versions are loanable.

Yeah I could use my library more, and I use it plenty, but it turns out I LIKE AND WANT TO funnel cash towards authors I enjoy. That's how they make their living.

Physical books still offer better random access to content (flipping around from chapter to chapter) but ebooks won me over for technical books as well - simply because I can have them in multiple places (home, work, travel) without lugging them around. Yes I have a physical copies of certain key books but the convenience of having them all over wins out, for me.
Just because something has flaws doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea to do it.

The single thing that bugged me the most this year was on my state taxes. I got this nice W2, with copies for the federal tax filing, the state tax filing, and my own copy. But my state doesn't want me to send them the W2. No, they want me to print out their own special little additional form, and transcribe the numbers from the W2 onto that. Seriously, WTF?

I actually thought about civil disobedience on this - just staple the state copy of the W2 there and let them deal with it. Maybe next year...

To top it off with more extreme anecdata, our Mercedes Sprinter-based RV gets 15 mpg, similar to your Cayman, but fully-loaded it weighs 11,000 lbs. (source: truck stop scale).

Weight or axles, but fuel tax isn't the way to do this. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to come up with the sedan MPG necessary to beat a 40,000 lbs. semi that gets, say, 3 MPG. (And, BTW, semis haven't done as poorly as 3mpg for a long time.)

How to Choose a Nearshore Software Partner
I've offered to give many interviewers access to my private github repos so they could review my code and see how I've worked. I have ~5 relatively large projects, full tested, where I was the sole, full-stack dev. 1 out of 20+ took me up on the offer and I work there now.
Eeeeh, yea that was terribly worded, my bad.
> I think they were more arguing that the cost algorithm is wonky for those roads

The cost algorithm is wonky because the value algorithm is wonky. Actually, there IS no value algorithm. Even if the data were available (and it wasn't Big Brotherly for the gov to collect and keep it) there's no way to calculate the individual value extracted per person, it's NP-ish yeah?
This is bad advice. The IRS will fine you if you adjust your withholding to be significantly less than the tax owed. You can’t just hold onto the money until April 15.

The best strategy for withholding that conforms to the law is to use the IRS online withholding calculator to set your exemptions and aim for a payment/refund of around $0
> I think society's glorification of extreme exercise does more harm than good.

Which society? What glorification? According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_body_mass..., society has clearly moved in the complete opposite direction, with approximately 30% of the world population considered obese. I am aware that BMI doesn't take into account muscle mass, but really, most people who are obese by BMI standards aren't there due to powerlifting. They are simply obese.

It is possible to work out too much, for sure. Most serious exercise programs have "easy weeks" specifically to give the body time to rebuild and recover. I've done many triathlons and sure, there is glorification of the IronMan distance tri; but it should be something that is glorified. It's an incredibly challenging event and worthy of praise.

If anything, I think society needs to encourage, explicitly and with great zeal:

1. Hard exercise (long runs, swimming, lifting, rugby, cycling, etc.) at a bare minimum of 3 times per week for 1 hour or more.

2. The basic physiological fact of "Calories In, Calories out". A person is fat because they consume more calories than they burn (barring certain medical conditions/medications that cause weight gain). That's it.

3. Quality fuel. Ensuring people eat foods that provide the essential amino acids, necessary vitamins and minerals, and an even macro distribution of carbs, fats, and proteins.

Lastly, I would gladly trade [2, 3, 4] in exchange for living a fulfilling and healthy life spent exercising and accomplishing goals like completing an IronMan Triathlon or breaking into the thousand pound club for lifting. The other option is wasting my life eating chips on my couch and getting fat.

> google docs for chat is pretty ad hoc, which is fine at some level, but points to something (secrecy? ban-proof-ness? teenagers co-opting something where there might be a better solution, like irc or riot or various group chats?)

Google Docs for chat is no different than Wikipedia for discussion. The "Talk:" pages are group owned and visible to everyone. Google Docs has a realtime element, but otherwise works as a realtime wiki.

Plenty of internet discussion took place on the Wikis of old, not just Wikipedia but the original c2 WikiWikiWeb.

> How much is this discussion about centralization versus public versus private-facing communication?

This is tangential. People don't visit "vBulletin", they visit SomethingAwful. If you have a decentralized protocol (like vBulletin, PhpBB, Masteodon, or whatever), the laypeople generally don't care about that technological detail.

The typical web-user will be visiting "SomethingAwful", or "Digg". The webpage itself is associated with a community: a set of moderators.

Wikipedia and Wikia use similar software, but their communities are completely different. Federalized vs Centralized is a blip in the radar, its about policy, contributors and community.

This is more a communication standard than a complicated tech solution. A communication standard for fact checks from public primary sources.

Coding this wasn't actually that complicated, figuring out a design that enables readers to review the fact checking as easily as possible and enables fact checkers to collaborate easily took a lot of experimentation though. Although even that is still very much a work in progress.
Parking, whether on street or off-street doesn't relate to congestion pricing. Congestion pricing charges for the luxury of driving into one of the most densely populated and well-served areas of transit in the country.

Charging people to offset a negative externality they are entirely responsible for should not be conflated with penalization.
> I'm surprised FastCGI isn't more popular for that reason.

FastCGI is more faf to configure where mod_php is more likely to be configured out of the box. Most shared hosting environment are configured entirely out-of-the-box as the market is so saturated and margins so low there is no way to justify anything else. Potential customers who care much about security will most likely be looking for their own dedicated server or VM instead so there isn't really much of a market for a more secure shared host.

Also if packing as many users as possible into as little hardware as possible, which is the only way to make any margin in shared hosting these days, you'll find mod_php more efficient by this measure. You don't have a pool of processes that only specific users can take advantage of, taking up an amount of RAM (however small) each even when not actively in use.

So FastCGI tends to be used less. When I ran PHP I used it, usually as you suggest one pool per vhost, but I was only hosting my own projects and some bits for friends & family, so I didn't need to justify the setup effort against any "bottom line".
You missed the point. I'm not saying that the past is old and boring, or that teenagers even believe it is (not all of them do!). I'm saying that every generation produces outstanding media and art (somewhere among the clutter), and that it's ridiculous for older people or younger people to dismiss the art that does not belong to their generation.
I'd imagine the Prince's staff contacted Instagram to talk about having an account set up, and maybe suggested the name.

Instagram people were probably star struck, and salivating at the idea of _millions_ of eyeballs and media interest on the site, that they pretty much waived anything through.

I'd imagine a lot of the top brass at companies would do anything for a slice of celebrity/royal action, it's a gold mine and worth a lot more to them than some peon from Reading who just lurks.
Welch says, "but [can also] find cancers that were never
going to matter." That's because some cancers grow
slowly and never become dangerous, he says.

This exact same phenomenon is already occurring with breast cancer. Everybody is a "breast cancer survivor" these days, because they keep finding these turtle tumors that were never going to be a problem. If you look at mortality rates between those who screen early and those who don't, they are the same.

Mass sharing a scanned book, particularly one that was not OCRed, indeed usually takes too much work. EBooks, or rather most of them, are tiny epub files with little to no images, 5mb maximum. There are sources distributing ebooks at scale, libgen.io is a prime example, the ebooks channel on IRC highway and myanonamouse, a private ebook and audiobook torrent tracker that some people apparently use also exist. There are rumours of private collections spanning millions of titles that fit on a single, albeit large, hard drive.
The second-system effect is definitely real and is a trap most developers will fall into. I think gold plating introduces liability and it would be better to ship early. I am, however, conflating my own behavior and anecdotal observations to paint broad strokes.
