Yes, and no. Trigonometry works if trees grow with a habit which matches the assumptions of a right triangle.

Before laser rangefinders were cheap and accessible, the method used (angle and an approximation of horizontal distance) would often grossly overestimate the height of the tree.

The modern sine method is much better, but still had problems with leaning trees, and will tend to underestimate height.

The most reliable method is to get someone up there and do a tape drop.

Hmmm. True that when you encounter a panic or a serious error, and you lack serious system/kernel/OS skills, it can be real trouble. But still less so than picking a new/developing filesytstem. There are so many eyes on ZFS that one would hope someone with the skills you lack is already looking at that serious issue or at least will do if you file a bug report.

As a personal experience, I have two ZFS based file servers being hammered by researchers pushing it in many weird IO patterns, bursts requests and so for about a year and half without ever hitting a serious error. I'm amazed by how rock solid the system is. One of them even has a Optane cache for NFS writes- just to give you an idea of feature richness.

well you're not wrong but a room tc superconductor would indeed enable us to cut down on transmission costs of power. I'm not sure if this is obvious but the only reason national powergrids are AC and not DC is because you can step down AC current and therefore have much lower heat dissipation through the transmission lines. So at the minimum you'd get cheaper power by eliminating all the resistive losses and stepper circuits . But also superconductors are used in MRI machines where right now they're kept below Tc using liquid nitrogen, which is hard to control (search MRI quenching). So room temp superconductors would make MRIs cheaper, which would be a boon to the developing world.

30s here, I spend teen and early adult years in various forms of anxieties culminating in a super crap decade. Considering that path, I extrapolated that life will be, at best, constantly shitty if I work to stay afloat.

But it's not. To a point I do feel like a 14 year old kid these days. And at times.. I even have flashes of child like happiness. Before when I used to remember good times, it would either feel like good+old or nostalgic+old. But what I'm talking about is more like good+present.. just like when I was a child. Some burst of careless and strong inspiration. It doesn't last more than a minute, but knowing that your mind can still have these feels like newfound oxygen.

The thing is that yes you do need IT people and there is an army of IT people hired by the cloud providers. But, you don’t have to pay the full cost to hire them. Between Managed Service Providers that allow you to outsource your support and the (excellent) business support plan of AWS you can get away with a lot fewer employees in the IT department and their job just becomes managing communications between the business and managing the relationship with the MSP and the cloud provider.

I'm not quite 40, but am happier now than when I was younger. A key part of that is financial. After 20 years of working I have a nice nest egg saved up. It is not enough enough that I can retire, but it is enough that I don't have to worry.

When I was younger, I was always stressed about how I would pay the bills. When layoffs would go around I would be super stressed , worrying about what if it happens to me. I'd also be stuck dealing with some asshole boss because I needed the money again causing more stress.

Right now there is a rumor going around that my company is not doing too well financially. In the past I would have been worried about it. Now my only thought is if I do get laid off, is where I do some traveling to. If it is during the summer, think I'll go spend some time in the Canadian Rockies.

> I'm sure there's more

How about this one:

> "The solution was to extend the engine up and well in front of the wing. However, doing so also meant that the centerline of the engine’s thrust changed. Now, when the pilots applied power to the engine, the aircraft would have a significant propensity to “pitch up,” or raise its nose."

The centerline of the engine’s thrust moves up, doesn't it (the constraint is the floor, bigger engine requires you to go higher, wings are in the way, so you go higher and forward), so presumably it moves closer to the centre of gravity, giving you a shorter lever, thus full throttle should give you less aircraft nose up momentum.

In reality, the issue is (as far as I understand) that the nacelles generate lift that is further out in front of the centre of gravity, giving you a longer lever, and that's what produces a stronger pitch up (under high AoA) than before.

EDIT to add:

The article mentions that later:

> "And the lift they produce is well ahead of the wing’s center of lift, meaning the nacelles will cause the 737 Max at a high angle of attack to go to a higher angle of attack."

The relevant property is not that the lift of the nacelles is ahead of the centre of lift, but ahead of the centre of gravity.
You are referring to thrust asymmetry, not dynamic stability. Thrust asymmetry is actually not that different between MAX 8 and NG. MAX 8 engines have more thrust, but they are also mounted higher (closer to the centerline), reducing torque.

Dynamic stability is a tendency of the plane that flies straight and level to maintain this straight and level flight. MAX 8 still has this property, MCAS or not.

Apple apps have nothing to do with iOS. You can use many apps. I'm using 4 different map apps and Apple maps is not among them.

Controls are opinionated indeed and I feel myself better in iOS world without that strange "back" button which can do anything. Not sure about animations, I think that there are settings in accessibility options for those, but I'm not sure, never was an issue for me.

It's not common, but it's dangerous. The technical term is suspension trauma. I climb solo quite often, and had to make my peace with the fact that if something comes down from above and knocks me unconscious, it could very likely be fatal.

I'm not sure it's accurate to say that hanging upside down is any better if a climber is incapacitated. As a practical matter, a saddle that was trying to continually flip you over would drive a climber crazy.

There's a bit of debate in the climbing community about the importance of suspension trauma, and how long you have before you need to worry about it during a rescue.

What exactly is meant here by secure? Windows in its default state contains spyware that you cannot disable or remove, or at the very least you cannot expect laymen to do. It is essentially covered in their terms of service and privacy statement. Then there is Intel ME, AMD PSP, etc.

Short answer is that you simply do not secure your Windows PC. You may eliminate some of the spyware, but it does not make it secure. Can you make anything fully secure? Perhaps only secure enough, but then you need to specify what is meant by enough.

In any case, for Windows 10: https://github.com/Nummer/Destroy-Windows-10-Spying

2. Credential Guard - Moves LSASS to an isolated VM (break's VMWare etc though, see 5 if this is a dealbreaker)
3. Application Guard (Enterprise Mode) - Transparently virtualises and isolates Microsoft Edge (same caveat as above)
4. Microsoft Defender MAPS and Block at First Site
5. Run LSASS as a protected process
6. Process creation auditing with commandline
7. Powershell script block logging

I have to barge in here and mention that doing totally reasonable things can result in getting malware installed on your systems.

The most glaring case was the early Windows XP era, when it was enough to plug in the Ethernet cable during installation to get malware. I had to download the service pack and install it offline before plugging in the network.

Today, I'd point out that ad networks' code is barely scrutinized, and they can hit unpatched vulnerabilities all right (sorry for not providing examples).
You should copy Magma's model but be open source and use support or web hosting (like cocalc does) to justify the price tag. Then you get users to give you their grant money.

I have a standard test for this based on a very simple hypothesis: Hate is hate regardless who is targeted. If someone write a hate speech about the Jewish people and rewrite every mentioning of Judaism to Islam, then it is still hate speech. The target of hate doesn't change the fact that it is hate.

So I apply the same to feminism and rewrite every mentioning of men to immigrants and women to nationalists. Simple word for word rewrite. Hate being hate, if the rewrite look like hate speech then the original text must also be hate speech.

If Facebook is not choosing sides then such test should work to determine if something is hate or not.
I've never used Bumble. I was responding to what you said:

Bumble-like, ie. the women can choose who sees them

It now sounds like Bumble does let men see women's profiles and even send a kind of "wave" to women who haven't given them the green flag. That's a lot different because it actually gives men who have just joined the site something to do rather than a blank page with no women (because nobody has allowed them to see anyone yet).
It's like China's unions, it's just titular to make it sound legitimate.

I know you meant this as a joke but there's some applicability here. Seeking happiness can produce a lot of negative emotions, as you become very aware that many other people are way happier than you (or at the very least, show off a high level of happiness while hiding the details). It's possible to get into this state where things are never happy enough in this pursuit of happiness.

But all the happy people I know have a deep appreciation for the little things in life, a gratitude for whatever good comes their way, no matter how slim it is. In that respect, they are optimizing for allowing all bits of happiness that comes their way to actually have an effect on them.
