Nope, nope, nope... politicians do not get to pass off responsibility for their actions simply because a plurality of denizens in a geographic area voted them into office.
You're right, there is a lot more going on. The point I was trying to make is that this happens even for athletes coming from a "healthy" environment, and that the way her story unfolded after her career is not all that surprising to me.

Personally I wish that there was more guidance and help available for retired athletes, but on the other hand I also realize most athletes on this level are too stubborn to get that help anyway..

I think that's less a thing than we maybe think. I think the medium crafts the message and even the messenger. There are certainly YouTube like "patterns" and I see a lot of channels eventually devolve into them. Time and again over time I see something I like and then they ever so slightly creep towards the YouTube drama stuff, and before you know it they're doing "reaction videos" and even if their other content is still active it just doesn't feel as authentic anymore.

Not to say I entirely disagree, but I do think the medium has a great deal of influence and IMO that impacts "authenticity" and etc.
It isn't that easy for a university. There is always the danger that more students accept their offer then expected and your classrooms are not big enough for the larger class. There are enough universities around that statistically we can expect if they all just increased their offers made rate some would get too many students attending the next fall every year.

The author sort of casually dismisses foreign enrollment but then also focuses on UC which seems like cherry-picking. There are 6500 foreign nationals enrolled at UCB alone in 2018. That is up by 600% in the last 15 years alone. The entire UC system has 45k foreign nationals enrolled, up from only 8k in 1999.

Early 90s, applied to just one university (the one closest to where I was living) and got in. Only later did I realize how lucky I got (a good public university with a low acceptance rate) since I was very naive and my parents were of very little help.
Many procedures in hospitals are checklist-driven. Peter Pronovost had an early, high-impact publication on the topic of bloodstream infection prevention with checklists: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa061115
The Air Force wants fighter pilots to end up as generals. In order to do that and compete in the promotion system that is in place in the Air Force, they need to do more than just fly. The fact is that the Air Force wants officers first and pilots second. Perhaps the answer is that pilots should just be warrant officers like in the Army. They can fly their entire career and do just that and nothing else. There would be really good pilots. However, the Air Force wouldn't have fighter pilot generals. The training now takes so long and is so expensive that it seems like a huge waste for a pilot to go through all that and do other things most of the time.
I suggest that 'calling bullshit' on just about everything pushed by corporate news is a good idea, including the Guardian.
'Question everything' is a good approach to assessing information from all sources. Just because an entity presents itself as a 'news source' doesn't mean that information is accurate or unbiased.
'Who benefits' and finding out the facts are key to navigating our information choked world in my opinion...particularly the facts that aren't 'reported'...

That is not a web standard.
The Army also has a pilot shortage, but they've done a little better than the Air Force due to allowing warrant officers to fly. Many pilots just want to fly, they don't want to deal with all the other management responsibilities and staff assignments that come with being a commissioned officer. When the Air Force split off from the Army they decided they only wanted commissioned officers as pilots and eliminated WO ranks.
Yes, this is right.

For one thing, it simply isn't possible to have truly "objective" criteria for admissions.

If it were only based on standardized test scores, the bulk of the students that got in to the most elite schools would be ones who went to elite private high schools and perhaps had extra highly-paid tutoring or those who enjoyed the obsessive life-long dedication of a tiger-mom. That would skew the population to students from a narrow demographic along with a very small number of unicorns. Forget about late-bloomers, promising students that went to crappy high-schools, forget about making up for decades of exclusionary practices. And after all that, guess what, the children of the uber-rich would STILL get in because a pile of money big enough to pay for a building will ALWAYS bend reality.

The most elite schools will always have their admissions under a magnifying glass, but there's a lot of excellent universities out there which offer a superb education and don't have outrageous admissions requirements. A student who got top-scores and excellent grades can still go to their pick of a large number of these other fine schools if they get rejected from Harvard/Yale/Princeton/Stanford/MIT/Caltech because of losing out to some intangible criteria.
Why would Yale exist under your proposal?
Yeah, revenue of $80B/year can cover a lot of failed growth projects, even multibillion dollar ones.

I think the only point that I disagree with in the OP is the idea that there is declining revenue in the "legacy CPU" market. It seems like there is still a long trajectory of slow growth there at worst.
In the aviation industry pilots rarely get sued personally. IMO, the issue is more about legal system than it is about the medical one.

Military spacecraft are almost always ahead of scientific ones, and a 100m foldable dish might be an engineering marvel, but it's a bit different from a 100m telescope. An actual telescope needs to guarantee that your data are correct within certain tolerance, and not just good enough to get a good SNR from another spacecraft.

Besides, as another poster noted, VLBAs need extremely precise positioning which is just another rabbit hole. Spektr-R orbit determination was really tricky for its baseline of 300000+ km.

<script>
let arr = new Float64Array(32000000);
let sum = new Float64Array(1);
sum[0] = 0;
let l = arr.length, i, el;
// Initialize with radom values
for (i=0; i<l; i++) arr[i] = Math.random();

// Sum
let st = performance.now();
for (i=0; i<l; i++) sum[0] += arr[i] * arr[i];
let en = performance.now();
console.log(en - st, sum[0]);

Using a temporary value for arr[i] is definitely slower.

GTSAM [1] packs a lot of functionality for robotics projects, including Kalman filters [2]. A product of GTech (Frank Dellaert), a pro is there are many cool projects built on top of it [3], in C++ and Python. A con is GTSAM is not the cleanest, well-architected codebase (although far better than most products of academic labs).

When Fluent formats translations, it returns simple strings (in the sense of primitive computer types).

It's ridiculous. Google wants to keep users at its domain so much that it invents a whole technology to substitute address bar contents. This shows how harmful it is when a company has a significant market share in several different areas (browsers and search engines).

I hope at least Mozilla doesn't adopt this technology and will show the true URL.

This technology is complicated. Browser vendors have to implement all of this only to please Google.

A Hidden Order of Reality
I have the IEC (VIC20 bus) to parallel port cable from a few (10) years ago that I used to use to use under DOS to write images to my 1541. The 8050 and PET stuff is IEEE-488 connectors. I think I even have a C64 user port to IEEE-448 adapter. I have 4 C64 in various state of repair here that I am pulling apart to put in the C64 Reloaded MK2. The biggest issue is time. I have had the dang thing for 6 months now. I also have 2 x C128 I am trying to make a single working one from. I have replaced a number of the ROMs but still having issues. Need to desolder and replace the RAM now as that seems to be failing. I have a stacks of unopened 5-1/4 disk and boxed games. Issues is always time :)

Think about the logistics of getting a class of pilots from the training sites, simulators, classrooms, housing, etc. Not to mention the costs to keep all those places open. Pilots have 100s or more of hours in simulators before they even touch a plane. Now add the costs of training in the actual plane and related training missions bombs, fake targets, bombing ranges etc...
Can you show me some examples? I understand complexity, I also understand incidental complexity, but I’m not sure about it being accidental.
> KMT is pro-unification.

No, KMT is not pro-unification. When KMT's ex-chairman Hung Hsiu-chu openly supported the unification during her presidential campaign in 2015, 91% of KMT delegates at the party congress voted for replacing her as the KMT presidential candidate.

KMT's plan is always to keep the status quo and use "unification" as a bargaining chip to get more $ from the CCP.
This is probably part of the reason why the USAF is leaning so hard towards unmanned systems in the future, because it opens up a lot of doors here. Drone pilots can be put pretty much anywhere in the world so they don't need to be forward-deployed, which will probably help attract people. The physical standards can be strongly relaxed, no need to worry about eyesight or their ability to handle 8Gs, which increases the pool of possible pilots. You can to some degree "oversubscribe" and have fewer pilots than aircraft (alternatively, fewer pilots on shift, meaning pilots don't have to work as many hours), since not all of your planes will be in the air at once. Some of the more mundane tasks can be automated or distributed (maybe have air traffic controllers control taxiing, takeoff and landing directly?) like in-air refueling. It's not a panacea, and there are missions drones will not be able to do anytime soon, but I imagine it will help with the pilot shortfall.

The conventional wisdom is not true. They’ll get a boost but certainly can’t “breeze into” competitive places.
In my experience, for the best balance between compression speed and compression ratio, nothing beats 7zip with the right options:

-mmt=$(nproc) # use all available cores
-ms=off # disable solid archives (compress each file separately)
-m0=lzma2 # lzma2 has better threading than lzma1
-md=64m # dictionary size
-ma=0 # "fast" mode
-mmf=hc4 # hash chain match finder
-mfb=64 # number of "fast bits"
-mf=off # disable filters

The biggest gains are: 1) using all available cores, 2) setting the match finder (the binary tree match finders are terribly slow; I haven't played much with the newer patricia tree match finders), 3) disabling solid archives (this seems to cause 7zip to distribute the work more evenly between cores, though it still may only use a few cores if there are many small files), 4) using "fast" mode (whatever that is, it gives a noticeable performance boost and doesn't seem to affect compression ratio much).

Every few years I try zstd and others, and for the data I work with (primarily a mix of json and fixed-width-field binary data), lots of tools beat 7zip out of the box, but they fall short of 7zip with the above command-line options.
I have been following Taiwan politics on and off for the past three months since Han Kuo-yu came into power.

My observation:

1. Mazu is big in Taiwan.

2. DPP didn't have any political achievement in the past three years.

3. Taiwan has been stagnated for the past two decades due to ideology politics.

So yes Guo stands a (big?) chance.
No different than someone saying "God helped me make this accomplishment" or something like that.

A lot of it is allocation of fixed costs. It costs a fortune to operate training programs. Lots of buildings, runways, infrastructure, staff, maintenance, security, etc. So they take that annual cost and divide by the number of pilots trained every year.
Atul Gawande explains in great detail how simple checklists can have big impacts.

For example, why would you need everyone in the room to say their name and what they do?

Simple: everyone is wearing a mask and often surgical scrubs that are the same color. By having everyone say "Hello, my name is Dr. Jones and I'm the anaesthesiologist" you can quickly determine who is the person to direct questions to about the patient being under.

It gets even crazier when you hear stories about doctors going into the wrong operating room (especially at bigger hospitals where there are several ORs). A simple "State who you are and why you are here?" costs very little and helps avoid costly mistakes.

Another example: having a checklist allows a junior person (e.g. a nurse) to challenge more senior people when they make a mistake.

Example without checklist:

Nurse: Dr, I think you forgot to do X.

Dr: I know what I'm doing, don't question me.

Example WITH checklist:

Nurse: Dr, you missed step #4.

Dr: I'm sorry, you are correct. We all agreed that was a necessary step and I missed it.

As have others in sibling threads, highly recommend Gawande's Checklist Manifesto.

I think youtube and twitter are sort of interesting tools in this regard.

I see a lot of commentary about how they're tools of distraction, but I'm not sure that's quite right.

I think the better way to think about it is they're going to send you down rabbit holes that will magnify whatever habits you already have.

If you're into cat videos, youtube is going to send you down that rabbit hole,

If you're into physics lectures, youtube is going to send you down that rabbit hole,

youtube is magnifying the differences between what the people who are into cat videos and what the people who are into physics lectures know
