"These days" suggests that this is something new. Tabloids and magazines have been doing bunk journalism for decades. Now they are motivated by getting clicks to inflate ad costs instead of getting sales to inflate ad costs. The only thing that has changed is the delivery method. The reliable sources of journalism are unchanged as well. There are plenty of new online tabloids and "e-zines" but journalism still comes from the same places.
At 05:40:30 you can see that the trim did change in response to pilot inputs at roughly the same speed. It should have been able to respond when they re-enabled electric trim unless there was some other failure. It will be interesting to see the full report with more detail about what the pilots did and why.
Sweet thanks for that. I like it, very straightforward and to the point. I'm considering how I can "subdivide" Thoughter into little special purpose utilities like for breaking up, hooking up, etc. Maybe I just need to make hashtags more standardized, with a dropdown or something. Much appreciated.
I seem to remember reading somewhere the transport channel used to be nightly FTP of these files in a cron job. Is that still true, and if so, how do they manage to secure something like that?
The problem is, it depends on what you mean by "shell". I agree that most Tesla vehicles are fairly spartan from an interior standpoint, but I don't see that to be a drawback. I guess I'm not the target market for a "luxury" car, even though I've got a 3, and I'm also on my 2nd BMW. I simply don't care about butt massagers and cooled seats and chilled glove boxes or whatever we're supposed to mean by "luxury".

I want a quiet, comfortable car. It doesn't need the 7000 buttons that come in a new S-Class today.

But I don't want BMW to take a Model S drivetrain, and put their horrible nav system on it, their keyfobs, their UI. Part of what's so great about the Tesla is that I just walk up to it and get in, and it works. They've rethought enough of the car experience that it's hard for me to draw the line at what I'd want BMW to do.

I guess I'd want BMW... seats? and maybe interior finishes/colors? Maybe? A bit more thought into finishing the trunk? But certainly not just a BMW with a tesla battery and motor.
Her share of Amazon is still worth $35.6 billion, making her something like the #25 richest person in the world. It seems reasonable, but my intuition sucks when it comes to money piles that big. She could start her own rocket company, with enough left over to buy an Elon Musk (#41).
An energy based comparison of waste plastic processing technologies
> you don't contribute nearly as much to destroying the climate or causing asthma and emphysema in children.

Slow down there.

Not everyone cares about climate change.

The _only_ reason I got a Tesla was for the acceleration and social status. With the Model 3, status has been diluted. Is climate change happening and being accelerated by humans? Yes. Do I care? No. I'm actually selling my P3D and switching to a Porsche 911 because of the Tesla brand dilution.

TLDR Waste plastic can replace coal in many industrial processes, yielding more energy per ton and producing 30% less CO2

EDIT: It seems like this might fix the plastics recycling issue in the US.

I not intimately familiar with ARPA-E and EERE funding programs, but if the follow the common model of selection of funding to a expert tech evaluators, they are a bit different from what I was musing about. They aren't bad, just far too constrained for what we need.

Instead, I'm for transferring funding decisions under the program to a much more open set of actors to originate investment loans (much like mortgage brokers). The investment performances are evaluated on their successes/feasibility, the loans purchased from their originators with high feasibility (i.e. we're scaling known limits), as well as opening up higher origination limits (if they prove out better carbon negative/netural tech). It's more of a financial tooling solution than a tech centered solution. This increases the possibility of failures, but provides a regulated scale out needed with a optimization criteria to keep scaling along successful lines with more organizations rewarded who make successful carbon investments. Experts like ARPA-E could definitely be involved in assessment, but the scale would be completely different then what has gone on before.
Well, yes, paying for externalities is not profitable. That's the whole reason that people have to be forced to pay for them.

I think zero-zero ejection seats are a good point of comparison here. These are the state-of-the-art ejection seats used by US fighters and bombers, designed to function from a dead stop on a runway. That's what you'd need for this to be useful in the flight regime most accidents occur in.

Unfortunately, ejection seats suck to use. Like, mild chance of killing you, very high chance of breaking bones, almost certain to make you a few inches shorter from compressing your spine levels of suck. This is assuming that you don't hit anything on the way out, of course - and don't land in the fireball. And that's with trained, fit pilots who are expecting the ejection. Can you imagine what happens to Grandma who's started to lose bone density? Or the baby on their mother's lap? And that's before you start considering the issues with having that many parachutes and rockets in close proximity, or the weight.

So that's why planes don't have features to save these people.
Sounds like you let people do your thinking for you.
Sure, personally I think it's worth increasing taxes nearly any amount to keep public roads freely available to everyone.

Rather than charging everyone and giving some people waivers, increase the taxes with a progressive tax rate, where low-wage people pay less.

If you want to take them out and force everyone to use public transportation that's one thing - But if they exist they ought to be subsidized to ensure everyone can use them.

We need more economic equality, not less, particularly when to comes to such important things as basic infrastructure.
What i would prefer, is to take a step back and look at all major interest partys involved, who will deform the development process. If management puts to much pressure on, a good process would give tech and the customer more chances to counter said pressure, to avoid tech debt and badly implemented features.

I want a process that reacts to the situation, in favour of the product, in favour of longterm goals - who actively resists people who try to gamble it for whatever reason. Agile is not that.
> makes you specify the joins

It not.

SELECT * FROM "document", "line";

Is valid. "But what it do?"

A CROSS JOIN. ie: a Cartesian product. That is not what most of the time you want.

Why cartesian? Because this is the most fundamental join of all. Is like "fold" in functional languages (ie: You implement map, filter, etc on top of fold).

Consider the JOIN clause a extra help. Not was always present:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25161747/how-to-implemen...

When using old fox pro, JOIN was not available.

----

Ok, but why not infer that if I join FROM "document", "line", it use the PKs??? That could be nice, but SQL is kind of EXPLICIT with not many implicit exceptions. And you don't wanna that behavior all the time.

This is in contrast to OO. Where you can only use a kind of "join", but lack the capabilities to do much more without extra work.

In fact, put JOINs not bother much. It fit well. Other aspect of the syntax of SQL are more annoying.

----

> If the answer is performance... SQL is not high-level

So, if you are on python, and use a generator to pipe several inputs instead of materialize each step in a big list and pass to the other, because I'm aware that is not memory efficient, suddenly is not high-level?

> I basically see SQL as an exercise in complexity, resulting from the constraints prevalent in the seventies. Please prove me wrong!

I say is the TOTAL OPPOSITE. Sql is TOO SIMPLE!

You are correct about it to be a product of the era. More exactly, the original plan was use SQL for the END USER to interface with the database. To write "off-shots" queries, not to be a proper programming interface.

That is why, SELECT come first, instead of Last. Also, why SQL can't be composed, you don't have variables, can't express loops or recursive functions, and many many other really annoying stuff. SQL is alike CSS. Too simple. Not even lisp-like capable.

P.D: Of course, exist a lot of extensions to cover for it (including WITH clauses), but the fact is, sql was not made for be a proper database language and it show.

Why is this relevant? Because SQL with a bit more power could be abstract and allowed to fix any small shortcoming more naturally.

----

I'm in the hunt to build a relational language, not tied to a particular RDBMS, with full programming power. Not follow the SQL syntax, but more the LINQ style:

http://tablam.org

Still in research/alpha, and looking for help!
It's the unreasonable effectiveness of a language and an approach that has some real mathematical backing behind it (relational algebra).

Lisps are unreasonably effective because they have lambda calculus behind them. The Hindley-Milner type system and linear types, both mathematically sound, are a large part of Rust's effectiveness and success, in my eyes.

I still would like that SQL read a bit more set-theoretic, if less English-like. It would make it less quirky and more composable.

https://info.legalzoom.com/can-married-men-legally-separated...

> In some states, adultery is a crime, although it is rarely prosecuted. In states that still recognize fault-based divorces, adultery has more of an impact. If a man begins dating during a legal separation in one of these states, and if his wife can prove that the relationship is sexual in nature, she can usually file for divorce on grounds of adultery. This can affect issues of property distribution and alimony. However, some states, such as North Carolina, make a legal distinction between dating during separation and dating while living together as man and wife.

So MCAS put them in a hard to recover position which required electric trim to recover, and as soon as they turned on the electric trim MCAS turned on again and forced them into a crash?

Then this is much worse than initially suggested, it means a pilot can be aware of MCAS and still be put in a extremely dangerous position due to the extreme control authority of the module.
People post contradictory evidence to journalism they don't like all the time. Their "evidence" is usually conspiracy theory crap that can't pass even logic checking, much less fact checking.

I don't disagree, but this reminds me SO much of when I bought my first Mac in 2002 (mind you, I was switching from Linux, not from Windows) and all the nay-sayers were claiming stupid stuff like "MAC doesn't have virus problems because who writes viruses for 2% of the market?" My basic attitude was "I'll enjoy what I've got while I have it."

I've only OWNED a Tesla for 6 months, but man it feels like the other manufacturers have been about to release a Tesla killer Real Soon Like Now for a whooole lot of years. I certainly don't think Tesla's lead is insurmountable, but it sure seems like the competition is doing its best to drop the ball.

If you had an external compiled library the consumed MyError or called caller, you just broke it, becuase you changed the type.

This isn't a realistic example at all because your MyError is simple enum that you changed to make it work. If you add another error, or have more than one level, or call it multiple locations, and don't eat the error then now you're changing many more functions, just as I said.

Didn't we see the exact same thing a decade ago with mammograms and breast cancer?

I remember there being two issues, one being computer aided detection in mammograms at the time was terrible for false positives compared to an experienced doctor (the the computer-aided was a selling/marketing point so people tended to opt for it).

The second was mammograms no longer being recommended for certain age groups, as they were shown in studies to just be ineffective. There was a backlash against such recommendations, under a kind of 'better safe than sorry' argument.
Competitiveness is the difference, not whether you're into the Philadelphia Eagles or the Periodic Table. Plenty of both, and it still skews towards the nerdier side of the spectrum (though its very game dependent - CoD players are mostly dudebros, Starcraft players are usually nerds).

For the professional level, performance matters, and good physical health gives better performance on measure (wide amount of exceptions of course). Thats the point about Yoga.
Thanks, it's mostly gotten negative feedback, which I understand as far as the pure styling (color, font, etc.), but I did spend a lot of time on the "structural" aspects of the layout so they work well on all devices without any real per-screen-size logic.

> MacKenzie said she was "happy" to be giving Jeff 75 percent of their stock in Amazon along with voting control of her shares. She also left Jeff with all of her interests in the Washington Post and Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos' aerospace company, according to the statement.

This makes a lot of sense. They probably both realize that the stock could be worth significantly less if he didn't maintain control of all three companies, given that the market was already reacting to that possible outcome.

> Jeff remains the richest man in the world, even after losing $35.6 billion in Amazon stock.

I wonder if part of this settlement was because he actually cares about being the richest person in the world and she was kind enough to make sure he stays that way?

This could be the most controversial thing comment I've posted on here, but...: Why are we even spending resources figuring out how to extend the lives of people who have smoked a pack a day, for 30 years, and are currently in old age? Even if we find cancer and save their lives now, will that prevent then from picking up smoking again? Will it prevent the heart disease they're going to encounter ten more years down the line? Dragging it out seems like a massive burden on the rest of society. I'm unsure how these studies are being funded but I just wonder if the money is better spent on helping people to stop smoking.
My parent made that stretch. I explicitly included other people’s freedom to do the same thing as they want to do in the list of freedoms that their freedom collides with. So call them out.

I agree with your more general point though: framing the entire matter in terms of freedom is detrimental to the debate. However, it’s almost always initially done by the side that wants to retain the status quo.
You may want to look at some of the arguments for "slack" in agile. Other agilists have thought about this from various angles, from scheduling it via WIP limits in kanban to dedicated 1-2 days at the end of a sprint. You're not "painting or surfing or whatever." At the same time, you can't capitalize that, and capitalization drives a large portion of IT.

The other noteworthy thing is that it does look like the angle of attack sensor failed catastrophically. It was reading 10ish degrees before immediately jumping to 75. Boeing really screwed the pooch here. A 75 degree AoA is obviously impossible and should be disregarded. Let alone a situation where it goes from 10 to 75 in seconds.
I think this takes away from the professionalism of these individuals. At a certain level, we are all doing things we want to be doing, otherwise we would be looking for ways to do other things. If you follow a lot of top eSports players in LoL challenger, for example, they all love the game, but you can tell the difference in professionalism even in their online personas towards the game. There's no doubt QTPie loves the game, but it's also no secret that the reason he isn't a top tier ADC anymore is because he doesn't want to deal with the grind and just wants to enjoy himself (and more power to him for it -- this isn't a character judgement, just pointing out the difference)

Most probably love the game, but having been a semi-professional CS player myself in the past, it very much feels like "work" sometimes.
