Braid, not knit. The first sentence gets it right:

Bertha (pictured above) is an automated braiding machine.

But the title and later in the article, the author uses "knit", which is an entirely different structure with different manufacturing approaches and engineering properties.

Sadly, one of the most spectacular videos of a high-end modern carbon fibre braiding machine I've ever seen ... was an incorrectly posted internal video (iirc, from Toyota), and was taken down. The big modern machines like the ones cited here inherit from, but significantly evolve, braiding machines as developed early in the Industrial Revolution. Better tension control, braid formation management, and the ability to perfectly handle ribbon-like materials are among the improvements.

> Further, in the wireless business, it's a common industry practice for SEP holders to collect royalties at the end of the supply chain, ie end-device makers, for simplicity and maximum monetization; and this custom has been embraced and practiced for the past two decades.

That seems like a weak argument given how slowly courts and regulators move on things like this. By the time they get around to telling you to stop doing something you're already claiming that it's an established practice.

And there is no simplicity there because there are more end device makers than chip makers, so "maximum monetization" is precisely the issue -- they're claiming more than they brought to the table using a manifestly unreasonable practice.

Surely Qualcomm is not entitled to the same percentage of a $1M house that a wireless router is installed in as they are of the $100 wireless router to begin with, or the same percentage of a $100M commercial jetliner when it has in-flight wireless. They are not responsible for any of the difference in value between a $100K house and a $1M house, what reasonably entitles them to a percentage of the difference?

If one iPhone is worth $300 more than another because it has a bigger screen and faster processor but the exact same wireless capability, why should Qualcomm receive any of the additional money?
Well, it probably is Qualcomm; they're likely ARM's biggest licensee in the mobile CPU space other than Apple -- and may be bigger than Apple by volume, when you consider how many Snapdragons there are out there.

Which is what makes the FB internal position on Instagram's growth so silly. If users are moving off of your old thing onto something else, you WANT to own that new thing! Otherwise someone else does, and your business slowly dies.

The only alternative to this is for people to keep using FB forever and ever, but that ship sailed a very long time ago due to many decisions they made over the years.

Basically, they made one of the best acquisitions in tech history and then got upset that it worked so well. Madness.

I'm not sure if you maybe meant this for some other post, but if you did mean this, there aren't that many other atmospheres in the solar system where there is A: a surface that B: any sort of machine can be on (sorry Venus) and C: has a charged massive object moving. (I don't list atmosphere explicitly but C essentially requires it; it's not going to happen in a vacuum.) We're down to Mars and Titan, basically.

Mars is an interesting question; how charged are those sand storms? It might pose the opposite problem of excessive power density!

Titan I just don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised there's some sort of charge flowing around, it's just a question of how much. Charge is pretty fundamental to mass, after all, and when things get moving it's not that hard to end up with static electricity to at least some degree.

Only for the first payment. But the first payment might be later than the user signing up to the SaaS. "Examples where the first charge is delayed until a later date are free trials, metered billing, and $0 plans."

If you charge the same amount every month, then there is an extra step for the initial payment but no distraction later.

Yes. And simply maintaining good following distance gives you a buffer that can absorb this sudden change and prevent the tailback. This is one of the reasons that I long for the day that humans don't pilot cars on the highway.

It wasn't too bad. If you look up the Mathematica GraphTheory primitives for building diagrams it is pretty simple.

To give an example of a diagram showing love interests you create a variable for each person and set is equal to a picture of them.

Then, you simply create a map that represents each of the relationships like Jerry <-> Alice to show that Jerry and Alice like each other, Jerry->Samantha to show Jerry likes Samantha, but it isn't returned and so forth.

At the end, wrap it all in the command to create the diagram (there are lots of them) and you're done.
I think the rhetorical term is apophasis. It's the same sort of deniable invocation as declaring "I won't stoop to talking about my opponent's sordid affair". A rhetoric teacher might say that it's just another way to persuasively make a point, but it seems hard to deny some manipulation or dishonesty when the "I won't say" element is intentionally false.

You make an interesting point about the recent/online deployment of it. Most examples of apophasis are about bringing up familiar topics without owning that action, as with invoking rumors or ad hominems in a debate. But I increasingly see the version you're describe, where it's used as a way to present a very specific statement without needing to defend it. A lot of old uses of the technique only work as a full sentence, specifically to avoid being quoted as saying the inappropriate thing directly. But the new ones do the opposite, very specifically accommodating misleading pull quotes. "As a recent Guardian article about critical thinking courses said, 'Fox News promotes "fake news"...'" The phrase comes into existence, soundbite ready, without anyone needing to actually defend it.

Perhaps this isn't the most extreme example, since the author might readily defend the "fake news" claim, but it still serves to associate the college course with rejecting Fox when that's expressly not the point.

I use the Things app. It allows you to have Projects Area with project inside (collapsible). The checklists inside can have sub-checklists. The sub-checklists can be marked “done” with a check mark or marked “not needed” with a cross.
projects have headings so you can organize different tasks in that project.

Things only stores checklists. Doesn’t share them.

With the context you've provided here, this is still an estimate-able task.

The steps to do this task are enumerable and would be similar across similar tasks.

I believe that the conclusion "software estimation can't be reliably done" comes from a standpoint that claims tasks like these ("reverse engineer X-Y-Z...") are somehow completely novel each time we encounter them. In my experience, they are not... even "soft tasks" like "design a Thing" and tasks with unknown details like "reverse engineer X-Y-Z..." -- when you do them more than once -- will be seen for the predictable beasts that they are.

But only if you approach them with the attitude that they aren't these novel beasts. That almost all of the work of the working practitioner is NOT like that of the researcher on the bleeding edge of some novel discovery.
The best way to organize things is to not have so many things to organize.

People certainly are busier now, but they seem to be a lot less focused on important things.

Kids playing used to be spontaneously organized by the kids, or even organized in advance by the kids. The amount of available greenspace in a neighborhood seems to be a lot less now, and play appears to be monetized and organized by adults and organizations.
Good checklist design is not trivial, however. I use checklists professionally, and the list rapidly accumulates cruft for problems that have been solved by design. E.g., suppose one time someone forgot to sign your software release. "Verify release has been signed" is added to the checklist. However a bright soul also integrates signing into the release build. Thus the problem is essentially solved once and for all, but the item will remain on the checklist in perpetuity, which adds overhead & decreases confidence in the checklist process.

I think they make sense for infrequently exercised routines of moderate complexity that are 100% execution. A complex but limited scope machine like a plane is really an ideal example. I guess preparing for a vacation could be another, although I get caught up because packing is totally different every time. I suppose I checklist myself when I rappel or go skiing ("Skins, skis, boots, ... working up the body")
> The SAT when combined with the high school GPA (HSGPA) has an adjusted correlation correlation coefficient of 0.56 with first-year GPA, meaning the combined measurement accurately predicts how a potential college applicant will perform in their first year of college 56% of the time.

"Strong states do as they will; weak states do as they must" and "The enemy of my enemy is my friend"?

There's this trend in all tribal politics where the tribes that are geographically nearest to you are the biggest threat, because everybody else would need to go through them to get to you. If you are a weak state bordered by a nearby strong state, your existence as a state is threatened daily. It makes a lot of sense to ally with a stronger but more distant partner to gain leverage over your nearby rivals. The U.S. is a very convenient ally for this because with an ocean on both sides of us, it's difficult for us to directly invade the countries in question without being invited in. At the same time, we have an industrial & military might that's a very useful counterbalance to potential regional aggression.

The same dynamic plays out both in other regions (Taiwan & Japan ally with the U.S. as a check on China; Saudi Arabia allies with the U.S. as a check on Iran; Africa allies with China as a check on the U.S; Cuba allies with Russia as a check on the U.S.); within racial groups in the historical U.S. (black slaves allied with Northern abolitionists against Southern planters); and within social classes in contemporary U.S. politics (minorities ally with urban liberals against the white working class; the white working class allies with old-line business owners against urban liberals; urban liberals ally with technocrats against old-line business owners).

Everything coldtea said was factually correct. I personally don't have a problem with it because I'm American and it's to my benefit to have citizenship in a geopolitically strong nation. But your response is conflating "that which is true" vs. "that which is convenient for me". You can acknowledge geopolitical realism without passing judgment on it.

I get that there are middle-aged career officers, but I don't see why guys in their 20s are having kids before they get out.
Agreed, the book was very well written and the audiobook had a great narrator.

Because of that book, I'm not surprised that the checklist reduced deaths, but its a bit shocking that its by a third. Then again, the base rate was very low to begin with, showing that surgery teams were already doing a seemingly good job:

"The death rate fell to 0.46 per 100 procedures between 2000 and 2014, analysis of 6.8m operations showed."

Still, over 6.8 million operations, is that 15,000 survivals? Wow.

By stopping participating in discussions about facts vs "facts". The above publications don't have a particularly stellar record of clearly differentiating between the two in a way that those who lack excellent critical reading skills are able to leave with an accurate perception of what is proven vs alleged. But this is a matter of opinion of course, the level of criticality one applies when reading the news typically varies according to the political topic.
Do any of these let you re-use your checklists, though? Planner at least is pretty useless for this, as I don't think there is a 'reset all items to un-checked' feature, or even basic stuff like re-arranging your list.

>There is strong contradiction between these statements. You are either Russian or you have been strongly (perhaps without your own knowledge) influenced by the Russian propaganda.

Or you know, I could have independently formed my own opinion, and know the facts of that, much more closer to me, corner of the world than somebody in NY or Colorado reading the mainstream news.

It's like somebody following the CNN, the NYT, the Time, the Economist, etc, and their own country's government, experts, and pundit opinions about global affairs

-- without them ever having read people like Chomsky, Zinn, or anybody local on the places they read about (e.g. Eduardo Galeano) that's not an ally chose for interview by said media --

and thinking theirs is the only possible version of history and world affairs, and anything else is X propaganda (or, another term people are conditioned to use, "conspiracy theory").

>If you do not believe this then ask yourself, why were the countries near the Russian border so desperate to join NATO?

The same reason some of those countries liked the Nazis as well in WWII. Because they had beefs with Russia as USSR (which fucked some of them over royally), and now fear it as a powerful player that could do them damage for its interests. That's in many cases the popular sentiment. In other cases, and especially where ethnic Russia populations are concerned is more Russian friendly.

But add some foreign funding to candidates and parties promoting a rift with Russia, constant hammering of "independent" organizations, diplomatic pressure, some lures like loans, investments and aid if they go NATO, and it's a no brainer.

That said, not all of the where that "desperate to join the NATO", and not all at the same degree. Some understandingly, wanted to keep ties with Russia and play both sides, by cheap resources, do business etc. Those players were also undermined (e.g. by "orange revolutions") in favor of more hardcore lackeys (to the detriment of their country's interests too).
If anything that sounds like a great reason for a doctor to use an industry standard checklist. "See exhibit A, documenting that my client followed the proper procedures". Not that that necessarily sounds great for patients with legitimate suits but for doctors it sounds useful.

The truth is that personality traits aren't really considered disorders until they affect your ability to lead a normal life, the chief aspect being to "hold down a job".

So we lauded her when these traits helped her be exceptional in her field, but now that she's used that up and didn't pivot it into some more lasting form of wealth, she's left to the shitty support structure.
FWIW I've always heard it described as a thundering herd. Though, your description is spot on, according to Wikipedia [1]. The problem the article discusses is called a cache stampede or dog pile [2].

I wouldn't fault anyone for getting these similar names mixed up though.
In a vacuum, what you're saying sounds eminently reasonable and fair.

However, being familiar with other academic fields, it's my observation that these shifts toward "rigor over relevance" are generally less driven by the supposed pursuit of intellectual- or self-fulfillment and moreso by perverse career incentives in academia.

To be clear, this phenomenon is by no means limited to academia though.
Apparently, a significant difference between American and French firefighters is that the latter prefer to fight the fire from the inside (e.g.: avoid the heat and steam to accumulate inside).
