I'm not necessarily advocating for the state. The circuit I mentioned is very popular especially among europeans. I would recommend going in September or early October if possible.

I would personally move back to New Mexico, but I wouldn't paint a rosy picture of it. I like the culture, I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea. I definitely grew up around a lot of animosity from family members about New Yorkers moving to Rio Rancho, so it's nothing new:

That said, New Mexico has been able to east/west coast gentrification to a minimum (Luckily most people end up going to Phoenix or Vegas instead)

On tourism - tourism is pretty much destroying the world, probably thanks to instagram. The west is susceptible but much of it is protected by virtue that many interesting parts are more than 3 hours from a major domestic or international airport. August is fucked though, partially because of the long European holiday, never do anything in August.
I'm confused by this, how do you avoid commercials. From watching the off NFL game there's even like pre-commercial commercials. "Brought to you by <some american car company> and <drink> the official drink of <whatever> and McDonalds - I'm loving it".
Incidentally, I was just checking the Lion Air report for something else and noticed that Boeing helpfully suggest neutralising stick forces using the manual electric trim before activating the trim cutout switches.
What misinformation. Germany just had the fewest crimes in 2018 since 1992, and generally has much fewer violent crime than the US.

Some actual sources which are not from a far-right 'think tank':

That's one exception to the rule. A big one, being the most important election that happens every 4 year, but that doesn't negate the importance of money in campaigning.
So you are saying this was probably not spec'd for this criticality? I guess I'm curious for more information on this. Obviously don't blame the sensor manufacturer without cause but why are these things so buggy?
I somewhat agree, though I would note that determining what constitutes a "legitimate" interpretation is a whole other can of worms.

I think the current tendency to give self-identified victims more weight is simply a result of a pendulum swing after a long period where victims were given little to no consideration. That is to say, I think this is normal and will again swing the other way before too long. Obviously, the preferred state would be equilibrium, but I think we've got a ways to go before we reach that.
i mean yeah, they are literally viral
I don't know anything about France except that they are a good case study in nuclear power and they are currently rioting in the streets.

Maybe? I mean, rioting on the streets could be linked to high costs of living and I wouldn't be surprised, or it could be something else entirely.

Anyway, the point is you can't just compare life expectancy and have it mean something. It is completely plausible that life expectancy could be higher even if the medical system is worse.
> Is there anyone on the Earth who believes, e.g., British television is better as a whole than US television?

Well, I do. Although my interest is more in science/nature TV than dramas. In the past Discovery Channel would be about.. discovery. Science. Nature. Then it became a reality show. Just as one example. I don't find anything to watch. British television has always been, and still is way above anything anywhere when it comes to science and nature. And to be honest I prefer the British crime dramas over the US ones too.
One thing that I find interesting is that Sweden, a country at the high-end when it comes to taxes and social safety, scores pretty high on innovation:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-01-22/south-kor...

Apparently Stockholm is second to Silicon Valley when it comes to “unicorns” per capita. Makes me wonder why the rest of Europe isn’t at the same level? Is it the weather?
Yet this would then increase spoilage significantly would it not?
Everybody knew this was coming: one month of deliveries on the boat to Europe, the availability of the 3 outside of North America affecting demand for the S & X outside of North America, and news of the Y Osborne'ing the X. The numbers for S/X are worse than expected, but I'm sure it's within the bounds of Tesla's planning scenarios.
Except Popper was saying that we cannot tolerate violence, not that we cannot tolerate words. Everyone misrepresents the paradox of tolerance.
> Americans don’t travel. If we did, we wouldn’t buy the myth of American exceptionalism.

That’s some serious middle school wisdom.

I’ve travelled a fair amount, and I find the myth of American exceptionalism to be no more prevalent that the myths of French, Moroccan, Swiss and Japanese exceptionalism. The thing about the belief in American exceptionalism, is that it’s not exceptional at all.

When you travel and you get to know people all over it’s eye opening to discover that no single country has a monopoly on ignorance and chauvinism. I’m most familiar with it in the US, cause that’s where I’m from, but it’s certainly not unique to the US.
He should but every person definition on what life one want are different.

For example, someone want to just work on project according what his style and if other people feeling get hurt by this, as long as this project owner happy and fine by the situation then the logical action he should take is to just ignore the them.

Some other people who do care about other people feeling then sure, they should listen to them.

These 2 people are different so too differ on what life they want and what makes them happy.

There are no right or wrong from any this.
> One reason that Europe has very few innovative new companies created in the last 25 years is that everyone is at the coffee shop writing poetry.

I rather think a central reason (at least in Germany) lies in the complicated laws regarding founding companies (including taxes etc.).

Another reason is that Europe is no unified culture but a multitude of countries - each with its own language, law tradition etc. . Compare the federal states of Germany with the states of the USA and Germany with the USA and in each point of this comparison, you have similar level of culture similarity. The level of culture similarity in Europe should rather be compared to the level of culture similarity in North and South America together.
I think he puts Twitter there because he doesn't use it. If you follow the right people it actually promotes intelligent discourse.
> Beat mixing is only a very small part of DJing and is not a creative part of the process. It's a technical skill - nothing more.

This. I spent years djing at clubs and opened for some of the biggest names in the world and know tons of djs and producers. Nobody talks about beatmatching except people just getting started. A lot of people learned it because it was the only way to mix records for a long time, but to me, it's an utterly pointless skill to have any more.
My word this is some interesting writing.

>Do you need more “indicators”? Are you one of those people that needs “statistics” to tell you what is true about you are already living? Very well.

>Where does this insane, bizarre, upside down illogic come from? I’ll answer that in just a moment. First let me spell it out a little more clearly at root, and then its roots will naturally reveal themselves

He just seems like he writes out a flow of conciousness.
There is zero structure to his writing or arguments.
Like Switzerland and Sweden? What are you talking about?
> This is not that nuanced argument. I can assure you no one that is trans "pretends" to be a woman for sports records. That comment (as well as the word choice of "disgusting") shows a severe lack of understanding of trans people.

They may not view their own activity as "pretending" to be women, but the position of people like Kay Cole James (and many others, on both the left and right) is that they are simply not women. Whether or not they believe it about themselves is irrelevant.
I thought that shared hosting is not a thing anymore in age of clouds
Huh? You can be an employee and have a side project independent of your boss.
They have outlier models, but look at the probabilities associated with them (should be >90%, i.e., <10% probability for those lines). A better statement on my behalf would have been that their probabilistic distributions have been historically very accurate.

They are also updated very diligently to account for new phenomena. I don't work for the UN, but they take population growth very seriously.
Heh, no it wasn’t. I’m honestly curious what people think, and your points seems like potential explanations to me, so I don’t know why you’re being downvoted,
But everybody has better rights in the EU. So, the coffee shop worker has lots of vacation, sick days, good healthcare, free college, no worries about going bankrupt from medical expenses.
Most Americans enjoy a level of live that Most Europeans can only dream of. Large cars, very large houses, every product they buy is at least 20 to 30% cheaper, they have access to the latest technologies... the list goes on and on.

Hobbies do not make up for the lack of opportunities.
The main benefit of FPTP, for third parties, is that they can hijack elections by acting as "anti-tiebreaker" (Threatening to turn their nearest ally into a lose by joining the election, unless that nearest ally adopts their platform). This is why third parties generally (and openly) advocate for FPTP.

Of course, the simple and well-tested solution is to reduce the power of the Executive, move power to Parliament, and assign power proportionally to parties.
Ask HN: Most progress a new company has made in 12 months?
Many startups are a grind, and I'm not trying to reinforce unrealistic expectations of overnight success. But I'm curious: are there examples of startups going from tiny to extremely successful in pretty short timeframes?
I always highly welcome accessibility topics. The conclusion sums up the problem quite well:

"The ideas and solutions we’ve discussed are never going to replace the need for real humans to write standards for accessibility, to do manual testing, and to educate developers and content editors on how to create accessible and semantic code"

ML could improve the (quite poor) automated a11y testing rate, but never get to the 100% imo. The biggest problem to solve accessibility with ML is the subjectivity of some topics. For example, it's quite subjective whether some content is understandable to the user or not.
It seems to me that Approval Voting might have the unintended negative consequence of electing a joke candidate, since you do not rank your choices nor are you limited to how many you can choose. Unfortunately, many voters would not give a second thought to ticking "Mickey Mouse" or similar in addition to their main choice and alternates, since there is no tradeoff involved. Under IRV or Ranked Choice, few voters would likely rank the joke candidate high.
> Americans don’t travel. If we did, we wouldn’t buy the myth of American exceptionalism.

The U.S. is huge, if you count travelling states (as you would with India or China), I don't think U.S. rates of travel are all that strange.
Dublin deregulated taxis so Uber and Lyft would be pointless. You can book a taxi from an app which is basically what uber and Lyft are anyways. We could do that long before Uber and Lyft became the household names they are today too.
I think it's pretty disgusting that you're still smearing the Lion Air Pilots despite all the facts that came to light after the Ethiopian crash.

Namely that Boeing didn't even bother to document MCAS, let alone deem it necessary to provide training for purely commercial reasons.

Turns out that their documented emergency procedure also isn't helpful once the plane becomes unstable due to their design fuck-up.

Way to go!
Please stop looking for racism in each and every aspect of public discourse, it does way more harm than it has the potential to do good. The harm lies in the ever larger focus on things which have the potential to divide people, be they race or sex or gender or religion or any other section. In this case there may have been a suggestion of the pilots having undergone less rigorous training and the aircraft being maintained at a lower standard than would be the case for 1st world airlines. These things may be true or they may not be, the airline safety records are among the potential ways to ascertain the veracity of such statements. This has nothing whatsoever to do with race so it does not make sense to try to draw this in as a factor unless someone made explicit claims in that direction. I have not seen any such claims, if you can point at them - and I do mean explicit claims, not so-called 'dog whistles' as those are subjective - please do so, otherwise keep race out of this discussion.
The ubi debate is surprisingly diverse.

You could line up knowledgeable opponents and proponents, and you would probably find their reasons vary wildly. They also come from all over the political map.

But I agree with you. It seems odd to me that people are worried about an income harming people on average, or even affecting employment. We already have plenty of people with passive incomes, and they don't generally become depressed bums. They're called rich people.
Giving everyone $10K/year would just inflate prices until $10K was the zero baseline for income.
I do think quality of food and dairy is a problem in the USA and it has been a difficult thing for me everytime i have travelled there. When i've been to europe i've found the quality and preparation to be very good and consistent everywhere (big cities and small towns) but not always a lot of variety.
And what's great about said form is the order is determined by draw of a hat. Literally.
It may be true in some broad sense but does he expect me to believe he is unable to find a quality croissant or coffee in New York? And just has to watch mindless reality television, instead of documentaries while in the states?
I can’t help but feel like history will look back at this time period and ask themselves: what the fuck were they thinking? A whole generation of smart engineers optimizing addiction.
I hate traveling.

I lift weights and going to Europe was the most physically draining experience. Going to a restaurant paying 12 Euros and getting 700 calories of carbs was awful. And having to pay for water... I felt physically terrible.

By the end of the trip, I'd order 6 tuna or egg sandwiches.

I don't travel because I find learning more interesting than looking at buildings.

Money is a deciding factor in shaping elections - the narratives, the length of the election season, what candidates decide to run, how policy choices look. By the time the general presidential election happens, 90% of the impact is already baked in.
Can I ask how you are accomplishing this? I am unfamiliar with this method of mitigation.
If I'm reading these statistics correctly the stabbing rate in Germany is now on par with the homocide rate in the US.

Of course not all stabbings are fatal.
> Now, from what I understand, appying nose-up electric trim should override MCAS, and so this course of action should be possible.

I'm not so sure. Will have to wait for the final report to be sure, but I feel like the Lion Air flight should have survived if the pilot's trim up commands took priority over MCAS's trim down commands. They were fighting it with trim up commands and they lost. I fail to see how they could have lost this fightunless MCAS takes probity.

I know MCAS activates in 5 second on, 10 second off cycles and I'm getting the impression that the pilots can only trim up during the 10 second gap.
About 10 years ago I got the same urge to find or make maps to visually detail humanities conditions. An ostentatious write-up of the idea survives here [1]

I imagined a wiki like effort to crowd source data that scores regions for 5 "Domains of Human Circumstance"

-------

Labour : opportunities, conditions, demands and rewards of productive endeavour

Food : calories, nutrition, contaminants, variety, taste

Material Environment : air & water quality, land quality (toxicity, civil engineering, architecture, ecology)

Social Environment : access to education, entertainment, arts, media, therapists, medicine

Private Environment (shelter,clothing) : allocation, facilities, privacy, preference, private architecture/furnishings, quantity

Physical Security : statistical hazard from criminal predation, military trauma, political/economic upheaval

-------

The category scores would be rendered in colored combinations on maps in a manner which importantly would not average out distributions, so that a region with many people living with low scores and others with high would not deceptively appear as equivalent to everyone with middle scores.

I've regretfully never made any progress on it.

We don't have Uber or Lyft here because Europeans in general regard their business model as being highly problematic.
It is nevertheless easy to hail a taxi in the cities, and you have the reassurance of knowing that the driver will be licensed and insured.
Fine. Not racism then.

Can we agree on xenophobic and bigoted?

The discussions here provide ample evidence for that.
This is dataviz done right. Gorgeous and useful.
Is that why people cannot afford insulin in America. This is something to be celebrated?
FWIW in this case I appreciate the rather appropriate reply. If such comments simply disappear, it sometimes feels like all that protects HN are the two or three Moderators doing their duty. I feel more reassured by knowing the wider community will not tolerate such behavior. And it also sends a stronger message, one where these people can not delude themselves into thinking they are representative of us, and/or “speaking truth to power”.
Even more excited for the midfield battle this year. The rookies (esp Norris) look great, McLaren "can fight", and adding Kimi and Ricciardo to the midfield is sure to shake things up.
Importantly, a digital watermark can also be used to track which citizens are reading subversive literature. I'll admit, the modern internet has so much tracking that this point is a bit moot. But, why add one more bit of tracking?
>No, not everyone in Europe gets to live white-collar worker dream of writing poetry at the coffee shop and coming in late. See the people working at the coffee shop, the construction workers, garbage men, etc.

Even those categories have it quite better in Europe.

>One thing I love about America is that people still get shit done here. One reason that Europe has very few innovative new companies created in the last 25 years is that everyone is at the coffee shop writing poetry.

Well, we have the companies we want to have.

As for the "innovative" companies, things like Facebook, Apple, Google, I increasingly hear that they were not that good for us to begin with, even less so BS like Instagram, Theranos, etc.
We don't have Uber in Germany either, instead we have labour and transportation safety laws that hinder a service like that.
While that might be a trade-off one could certainly argue about I'm not sure why that would present an argument purely for people having Uber leading an objectively better life. I'd certainly prefer having the above in place and enough money to pay for a cab if I need one, even if it's maybe a tad less convenient at the moment.
The article quotes: "If you cannot prove your identity, your crazy rant on some social-media platform shouldn't be visible", which I think G+ tried to do.

On mailing-lists, worst case there is "that guy", and you can filter them out. Maybe you'll meet at a conf eventually and work things out in person. On Twitter/Facebook, you have to spend a lot of time blocking people and trolls have full control of the platform.
Trim is much more important in a large jet than it is in a Cessna because of the speed range it operates over. At lower speeds with flaps up, you need a high angle of attack to maintain altitude. This entails a very high stick load in a manual aircraft like a 737 unless you trim nose-up for it. With flaps down, you need much less angle of attack, so less nose-up trim. At higher speeds, flaps up, you need a low angle of attack, so trimmed much further down. At higher speeds still, you start to get mach tuck, and need to trim up a little. So that's quite a large range of angle of attack, and so trimming needs to be very effective.

Now, at the same time, the airframe is not rated for aerobatics. So, you don't want to fit a huge elevator, because then it would be too easy to pull high-G maneouvers, and damage the airframe. It's all a compromise - very effective trim is a necessity in a large jet, and the elevator should be just large enough to give the control needed. The limitation then is that there may be parts of the flight envelope where the aircraft can be so far out of trim that the elevator struggles to overcome the trim. Normally well trained pilots would go nowhere near these parts of the flight envelope. This is why it's really not helpful when the automatics go awry, and put you there.
We definitely trust more than we should.

And it is worse that what you just found out. Did you think about all the software and dependencies that are installed just to get to the point where you can install Rails 6 (ex: Linux)?

What about your coworkers? Are you sure that you can trust all of them and nobody will not sneak anything in?

If you are too paranoid on who and what you can trust, you may end up tossing all your electronic devices and go living in a desert island.
