Aircraft model is set in advance (has to be, the airline needs to know how many seats available to sell) but late model substitutions sometimes do happen.

And if you want delivery year of the aircraft with an airline operating multiple aircraft of that type, you're probably going to have to know serial/tail number which might not be possible to determine until very late on.

How dangerous are microplastics?
Unless you're buying it with an explicit purpose to sell it off and avoid the import taxes that way it's absolutely not fraud. You are legally allowed to buy something for yourself while abroad and bring it back.

That's why you get certain allowances of how much you are allowed to bring back with you - say up to 200 cartons of cigarettes are free to bring over and that's clearly not something that you brought with you.
In the grand scheme of things censorship is the more dangerous thing though. People often don't care about censorship until it affects them, but once it does, they care a lot. There's a reason why the first amendment protects speech. It's the building block for an improving society.

Well I would actually prefer if ads were relevant. Relevant to whatever it is they're next to though, not necessarily relevant to me (because frankly that's no-ones business).

Same with youtube's recommendations. At this point over half the recommendations are almost entirely irrelevant to what I'm watching, and usually only have a vague connection to something I once watched, except for the ones I'd actually already watched.
This drives me crazy!

Not entirely. A lot of lifestyle magazine articles are essentially targeted ads for vetted products (see wedding or parenting magazines)—something that’s understood on both sides of the communication. It lends to serve the purpose of saving time for the reader in finding what they’re looking for to serve a specific need.

The unwanted side effect of that is probably the little greedy voice inside people that causes them to buy even more things they don’t need because all of the dressing up made it sound appealing.
Go, you mentioned, does not require package to be installed. It compiles to a single, native binary.
As the article is already 2 weeks old, in the meantime the test has been performed successfully. The problem with the old spillway was, that it was just put on top of the soil. Over the decades, the soil got eroded away by water in some places, destabilizing the spillway. The other part of the disaster, after the main spillway failed, was, that the emergency spillway basically didn't work, so they had to use the main spillway even if it was completely destroyed.

Rebuilding the main spillway was very thorough work, they removed all soil completely from the bedrock and filled the space up with concrete. On top of that they built the new spillway, up to modern standards and much thicker than the original one. There is all reason to assume that this new spillway will hold up much longer than the old one, which did work for 50 years. Also, they are completely rebuilding the emergency spillway so it can be used by adding massive amounts of concrete.

A great source for in-depth information about the failure of the old and the rebuilding effort is the blancolirio-channel on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/user/blancolirio/videos)
You don't know anything about what information the instructors received, only that the organisers of the protest are described as "cautious" and "patient" in their attempts to discuss the issue with DataCamp.

From that description you then invent a "mob" that demands someone should be fired and also dismiss the sexual harassment, the only actions described that could count as crime, by declaring what the "real crime" is.

If it is fraud, then at what point is it not? If I used it for a day/week/month before bringing it, is it ok? Intent matters I suppose, but how do you prove intent to circumvent import duties, versus just bringing my stuff? I genuinely don't know, seems like a lot of gray area.
Fair point, although:

It's too late. Obama has been canonized into sainthood long ago. Comparisons are always inadequate, his role in scandals (which apparently don't exist) is always far removed.

This is clearly not true. Advertisers are not pouring cash into big piles and setting those piles on fire. If everyone on the planet tuned out ads and what is shown was irrelevant no matter how relevant it is then they would stop advertising in that way.

"In the interests of pluralism (not relativism)"

Honestly asking as I hadn't seen anyone side-stepping the moral absolutism/relativism question in this way before - where is the line between 'pluralism' and 'relativism'? At what point does 'accepting' an alternative set of morals become 'condoning' them? (again I'm not arguing a side here and I'm not asking in an attempt to tease out a standpoint I can attack - I'm interested in arguments from both sides)

You are an exception to the rule, if you are actually honest here (and I have some doubts). Nobody I know, IT or not, likes ads anywhere - TV, radio, side road, internet, whatever.

They actively decrease the experience of everything one does (block the view around the road, forces loud delays into movies, takes space and are absolute nuisance almost anywhere on the web).

I don't hate them, just actively ignore them even if there would be a genuine new porsche being offered for $1. If you want to reach me anyhow, ads are the worst possible way. And I am not alone.

Wouldn't it be more sensible to give a range instead of a fixed date? I know it's not going to happen, but I think it would be more informative and honest.

That way you could communicate better of how certain you are. There's a difference between telling something will be completed in, for example, 6 month +- 2 weeks. Or something will be finished in 6 months +- 1.5 months. The estimated time is the same but communicates the level of certainty more clearly.

Or just use between, for example, 4-6 months if you don't want to use +- notation.

I always wondered why, and I came to following conclusion:
1. Orgs outsourcing projects are optimising on costs.
2. Outsourcing IT companies are optimising on margins(nearly the same thing).

If orgs outsourcing projects start optimising on quality of deliverables or security, or speed of delivery, we will see drastic change in behaviour of these IT companies.

IT companies will be better incentivised to hire smart graduates, invest in trainings etc.

Yes, I agree that the justice system itself is the root cause. However, I think it's also okay to "paper over the problem", and to support that I would directly appeal to the jury-trial system. The government is taking people away from work to perform a government service, and they (rightly) forbid business from firing someone during that time. In the same way, arresting someone also conscripts a person, against their will, to do government service. The service, in this case, is very similar to jury service in that the arrestee's role is to help justice be done by the government. The only difference is that a juror is picked by a computer (and then a lawyer) but an arrestee is picked by a cop.
For someone who "float" types, that's an impressive speed.
I tried out the typing website that 's mentioned on the post, and it reminds me/makes me realise the potential flaw in these types of typing tests.

After trying it out for about 10 minutes, I get an average 40 WPM; but I see that it's because I pause for a few seconds after each round of words (probably my brain adjusting from the garbage that it just digested).

Typing, and fast typing, is a function of the brain being able to process either an auditory, mental or visual data source, and the hands converting it to keystrokes. If one thinks of the brain as a data buffer, the brain receives info and interprets it, and sends it to the hands. There's almost always some lag, and that lag is mainly how fast one types (my opinion of course).

When you're given a test that's got words that don't have much meaning, it takes some adjusting to process them, because I had to rely on reading them word-by-word (I learnt some speed-reading when I was younger, so I tend to process a lot more words at a time).
I noticed that I typed better when the words made sense, because the brain could buffer words, which I'd rely on not reading completely, but using my previous knowledge of how to spell them.

The test also doesn't account for the human mind self-correcting. It was only after about 3 minutes where I reduced the habit of backspacing to correct what I noticed to be a typo, but don't know if I get penalised for it.

Going back to the author's views on touch typing. I think if he/she spends more time on it, they could improve their speed. The micro/milliseconds that your 4 fingers spend moving would make a difference.

As usual the mention of astrology on HN summons forth the legions of trolls who have never studied the subject. Before dissing astrology so readily consider how many commonly used words have astrological roots. Re-read the last sentence for an example. Consider also the number of eminent thinkers throughout history, including the history of astronomy, who held astrology in high regard - Tycho Brahe, Claudius Ptolemy ("Tetrabiblos"), John Dee, William Lilly, Culpepper & Kepler to name but a few. Like Kepler, Galileo was also a "mathematicus" - a title which combined the three disciplines of maths, astronomy and astrology. The astrology of horoscopes and app-fillers, which you so readily ridicule, is nothing more than the invention of the newspaper journalist R.H.Naylor in 1930.

If you would care to step outside your mechanistic, "scientific" cage for a moment and look at the full moon once in a while ask yourself this - is it so far-fetched that man might impute siginificance to the fact that the lunation cycle divides the year into 12? 12 is no ordinary number. 11 would not have been significant, nor would 13. Then consider that there are 7 planets visible to the naked eye and meditate on the mathematical connection: 7 = 3 + 4 ; 12 = 3 x 4. Without any zodiac signs involved at this stage you already have a rational argument for the universe, or at least our bit of it, being non-random. The ancients had a lot less technology than we have but maybe they were wiser.

The model of gravity as distorting 4D spacetime helps this make sense; just as atomic clocks run slower in Earth's gravity well, an atomic clock placed near a black hole would also run much slower. Similarly light leaving the black hole has to move through curved spacetime to get out of the gravity well.

This also circumvents all the wave/particle questions; it doesn't matter which conceptualisation you choose for the light, it's the space the light is moving through that is distorted.

Anyway trying to convert people from twitter to mastodon is sorta hard. If I couldn’t get them to go from to IG to twitter there’s very little chance I’m going to get them to go from ig to mastodon.
Honestly curious: why did Bouman get the credit she did? According to Github, she didn't commit nearly as much code, 2.5k LOC vs 850k lines. I understand she migut have had a greater role in management etc.; my point is more that it was a team effort (which she reiterated). Is this a case of the media trying to "celebrate diversity" by unfairly cutting out the whole team which accomplished something incredible? Or is she just the public face and responsible for their media presence?

How to Increase Height

Height is necessary parameter to judge person’s overall personality and self confidence. Height is a parameter not the necessity to determine the capabilities of individual. Being short does not mean that person is incapable but short height shows the medical condition or deficiency in person. Short statured people not only suffer from lack of confidence, but also face certain difficulties in some aspects of their lives. Small height is considered as a sign of undeveloped body. Height becomes a problematic issue in many phase of life like in job, in marriage etc.

Every person wants to develop his height. It is fact that taller person have better looks as they have high confidence. Because of good height they got priorities in many areas of selection. E.g. they get preference in defense services. Even women give more favorable treatment in marriage proposals. Same case happens in the case of females also. Male with more height prefers women with good height. Now a day’s this mentality becomes so strong that person want to gain height at any cost like growth hormone injection or limb lengthening operation which have number of side effects in future. After knowing the facts about height the main question arise here that how to increase height without side effect.
Ok cool but if they have to deliver it, they’ll look like fools in the long run when they can’t, and in the end they’ll see you’re right? So it’s a win for your reputation in the long term I think?
