It's a nice way of scoring some group to see how cult-like it is.
I guess some people enjoy sharing their opinion. Not everybody does, some people just hang up.
My great aunt wrote some of the original scholarship on this type of marginalia: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5064937-images-in-the-ma...

It's a shame that she is not mentioned. In answer to one of the other posters wondering about Monty Python, the answer is yes. She told me that Eric Idle or possibly Terry Jones (?) at one point had a fascination with these illustrations and I believe they corresponded. In any case, it wasn't just the rabbit sketch - some of the interstitial animations between skits are taken directly from tropes in these drawings.
Is it really possible for Boeing to fix this problem with out making changes that will require pilots to recertify anyway? If not then it seems like the training costs are a wash.
Maybe, just maybe, when you're in a plane that does not respond to your commands, you want to have a look at the most likely possibility: the autopilot did not disengage, or the autopilot malfunctionned and prevents you to get full control of the airplane. IF hte pilots knew about MCAS, they would likely have checked that instead, but they did not.

Most pilots are rationnal and pretty smart people. Implying that two of them are stupid enough to "play" with the autopilot in this situation is pretty insulting.

This kind of reactions are interesting though. I might tour facebook, twitter and reddit to see if it's widespread.
> Any law that’s important gets used and enforced regularly

The third amendment is an important law, but active enforcement is...rare. Even in criminal law, arguably, the ideal is that the existence of the law itself acts as a deterrent—an infrequently enforced law isn't necessarily unimportant, it may just be successful.
I guess this goes into definitions of consciousness, which I don't have the background nor inclination to do. But if we define it, as the grandparent does, as "first person experience of reality", then there is something special about this particular illusion. Usually, one would reject the interpretation of an experience, not the experience itself. For instance, this could go as follows: "yes, from your vantage point, the experience was that a rabbit was pulled from an empty hat, BUT what actually occurred was that the rabbit was pulled from a hole in the table below."

With consciousness, "the experience of the trick" and "the trick" are one and the same: if I have a "first person experience of reality" (which I have), then I struggle to see how it can be viewed as a trick. Due to the property of consciousness being a subjective state, it seems that eliminative materialists claim that even the EXPERIENCE of the rabbit being pulled from the empty hat is an illusion, which to me is just nonsensical (but I assume that with suitable definitions you can work around that).
The whole idea of people being paid different amount of money for their work is how much they produce. It's nonsensical to say low skilled workers should be paid as much as high skilled workers.

Yes everyone benefits from everyone elses hard work. We transfer value through money. People participate in a voluntary system where the prices are controlled by supply and demand.
>See, now the whole story has taken a turn. You’ve maybe forgotten everything I wrote before. You’re horrified; you want to know more. I’ve told you these things because I didn’t want you to think I was weak or timid, or apologetic about some of the uncomfortable truths. Now I can’t take them back.

That is a pretty hard turn but maybe a good lesson too about how in this day and age there is so little room for understanding that we struggle to think of anything else once we hear things that are objectionable.
This entire analysis is predicated on a super trend of human population increase.

There is an increase in demand for housing, consumption goods etc as the population increases.

I doubt if this paradigm will succeed in an ageing world and a world in which climate change might introduce massive stress to the population growth continuum.

It would be interesting to see how this played out during medieval era during black death era.
I thought it was a thing that looked like a big deer.
> for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and strike missions (wikipedia)

for the strike part, wouldn't it be better to use a satellite-based system, I would think it could reach any place on earth much faster given the initial velocity of being in orbit.

e.g. missiles/drones would be launched from a satellite at 8000m/s (17000 mph, 3/4 times faster than the SR-72), and they could be distributed globally. I'm just unsure about the descent phase but sounds like it would work out.
Genocide seems a likelier solution than pretending you can invent a 'non-capitalist' economic solution that somehow supports 7 billion plus people without causing massive ecological damage.
You know, if Brick & Mortars entered some sort of alliance, they could ship same day deliveries to an equally large chunk of the population.
The surveyors may not want to represent/hear about the interests of people too bothered to do things that take time without pay (e.g. voting or vaccination, which should also be paid imo).
The warning light might matter for squawk reporting (pilot to maintenance bug report, if you will).

But even if the pilot notices the warning, if they don't know about MCAS, then they don't know about "MCAS upset" which can result when MCAS acts on bogus AoA information. And this particular variety of "MCAS upset" quickly induces a mistrim, and high airspeed. So I'm unconvinced the indicator is a "safety" feature in-flight that will result in any different behavior on the part of pilots in an "MCAS upset" situation.

It is a mistake to think that trim is only about attitude (nose up or down relative to the horizon), it also implies an airspeed. Nose down trim effectively translates into a higher airspeed, all other things being equal. If you reduce power, the plane will nose down (this is a function of positive static stability, a FAR 25 certification requirement for transport category airplanes), and the plane will stabilize to maintain the airspeed implied by that trim. Add power and it will climb, to maintain the airspeed implied by the trim.

The central problem is still that the pilots weren't trained about MCAS in either it's intended working condition, or "MCAS upset", or how the airplane behaves with autotrim disabled and therefore without the benefit of MCAS. The pilot not being aware of these three of these behaviors is just flat out wrong. It's bad enough they weren't also required to demonstrate competency (knowledge and practical test) for all three.
Different countries have different standards of safety, and different budgets. Boeing got more $$$ from airlines in the US by making planes in Ethiopia and Indonesia less safe. Yay capitalism.
Yeah I'm definitely gonna quit. Just kinda scared of closing doors by not having something lined up before I quit. But maybe I'm just being paranoid
All: This article is not about souls. It's about elephants, humans, how we relate to elephants, how they relate to us, how humans relate to non-humans. It is erudite and beautiful. It uses the astonishing literature about elephants to ask about ourselves, them, and the world. "Soul" here is a trope for aspects of humanness that we may or may not have in common.

Usually we just edit titles that are triggering people. If I were to do that here, I might rename it "Elephants and Anthropomorphism". But when an article is this rich, moving, even profound, taking away its title would maim it. It bears a much better discussion than the thread has given it so far, so please let's talk about what's interesting.
Have you ever used Qubes?
I never understood comparing r and g. r represents the fixed investment income for the rentier. g represents the growth in income for the laborer. Comparing these two numbers, is like comparing velocity vs acceleration.

Example: Let's take r=0.1, g=0.03. Consider a Rentier with a real investment income of $100,000/year (ie, off a $1M endowment), and a Worker with wages of $100,000/year. For simplification, let's assume both individuals spend their entire $100,000 income every year.

If you follow the r>>g hypothesis, you might assume that after a period of time, the Rentier will be far better off than the Worker. But that's not the case. After 20 years, the Rentier's real income will still be $100,000/year, off the same $1M endowment. Whereas the Worker's wages will now be $100,000 * 1.03^20 ~= $180,000

Clearly a higher r will be to the Rentier's advantage, especially if he supplements his investment income with wages as well, and keeps growing his endowment further. But this is going to be true even for r<g. There's nothing special that occurs when r overtakes g, since they are comparing totally different things.
Back in the mid 80s, I attended a Heaven's Gate presentation. The ideology was preposterous, but they were interesting people. And very into computers and stuff.

One of our friends joined, notwithstanding our advice. We remained off-and-on in touch, and he seemed happy, and up to cool stuff. But then he was one of the 1997 suicides.
My phones so bad that I have the do not disturb night mode feature enabled full time only allowing people in my contacts to ring.

It really annoys me that there isn’t a way of filtering calls based on country. 99% of my junk calls come from Australian numbers, so if I could just block Australia...

> I feel like if FCC/Telephone providers don't fix this soon, traditional cell phones will become unreliable and we will need to adopt a new system or just use existing framework (facetime, whatsapp, etc.).

They do not intend to fix anything.

This captured FCC would rather everyone use the internet to communicate, since they deregulated that, than telephones which they cannot deregulate. The game is, make money as fast as possible in deregulated industries until people complain of lousy service and the government steps in.

Bonus points if the captured FCC can convince you that they care about these robocalls.

EDIT: Please explain downvotes. You feel the current FCC are saints and would never do such a thing?
Sure we were. I have video games that were pressed to CDs with no possibility of updates and they still run to this day. On a complete play through of many of them you wouldn't notice a single bug.

It's (almost?) wilful. If ever there was a suitable time for using a military acronym such as FUBAR, this is it.

In my own view, leadership should be held criminally responsible for the loss of lives. Of course it will never happen, but that's what ought to happen.

Hopefully they'll at least be responsible for liability in a lawsuit by the victims' families. They deserve being taken to the cleaners, well and proper.

The only real hard constraints on long term population growth are, food insecurity, war, and pandemic.

A secondary cause that is relevant for the aging population example you cited is gentrification, there seems to be an inverse population curve in respect to wealth - meaning the more money you have (or your society has) the fewer children you'll have - this is something that can be overcome thru public policy if deemed a priority by a society.

Because of this, I see no reason why population will not continue to grow world wide - climate change is most likely to change where and what kind of food can be grown, not how much of it we can grow.
I think the jury is still out as to who will win this terrible war of Man Against Nature. One thing is sure though: if Man does win, and Nature becomes completely subjugated, then life is simply not worth living...

It does what is the no fly list in the us exactly. Many people have got a low score of having a Muslim name or of being an aquantaince with suspected criminal to be put on the no fly list. Or having criticised some us agency all this get you a low score and stop you from flying. This system just doesn't have scores but it is the same damn thing.

Comparing Different Ways of Transpiling ES6 Class to ES5
I started with an experiment about a year back and now I've practically stopped answering phone calls. My phone responses are now async. Just like an email, I look up the missed calls list once a while and call back if I know someone or was expecting a call from a particular number.

The phone is kept silent at all times and is on DND mode from the first minute of the day to the last.

The only call that passes through are the ones in the favorites, which will never exceed 10. Even they won't ring but vibrate. (My wife knows how to make my phone ring via Find my Phone.)

Best advice, bite the bullet,stay and make sure you have a job before you quit. While it might be easy to find a job once you quit there's a big possibility that you can fall into a situation where it's easy to not get a job for a long time or you can't get a new one. If you hate the job you have then use that as motivation to get a better job. Also make sure you are really in the career that you like. What you describe in your job is not out of the ordinary when it comes to having a programming job. Work is work that's why they pay you instead of you paying or you doing it for free.

> You literally said it was designed to do just that:

> > The autopilot systems cannot cope with AoA disagree, that's why MCAS came into play.

He meant "The autopilot systems cannot cope with AoA disagree, thus the autopilot automatically disengaged when AoA measurements disagreed, that's why MCAS became active.", not "The autopilot systems cannot cope with AoA disagree, that's what MCAS was designed to handle."
The doors are always open for great talent, modern skills in demand and professional experienced engineers.

If you want to go on your own path that is fine and normally the best path if you want to have more control over your time and freedom for the short and long term.
I share the same concern. Worse, if we are right, then R > G will only be true for growth, but R < G when growth is negative (in other words, R is more extreme in both directions).

If I’m right about that, then the years after reaching a global population maximum could be rough - possibly really rough, bordering on disaster.
Maybe you should specify “aerospace”...

Nah, just start interviewing, and spend more time getting offers to find a company you might actually like.

Avoid starting something until you see what doing it correctly looks like.

You can always start your thing on the side, and transition when it becomes more than a side project. Plus, it is 100% easier to do while you have a salary.

Slightly off topic (of the OP, not parent comment)

Are you referring to this? [0] I was googling because I was interested. Looking at this the data seems fishy. Under total respondents they have answers for the age group, but not under any of the democratic/democratic leaning responses. So it looks like they only interviewed republicans under 50 and both groups 50+. There's some more fishy patterns like that with repubs <$50k.

So it is hard to say if only young republicans answer their phones or the data set is (purposefully?) biased.

I HATE that grab shows drivers where you want to go. You end up never getting a ride. I once tried to book a trip somewhere and I spent an hour trying to find a driver that would take me.

Every single driver would cancel or just sit there and not move, waiting for me to cancel. It's such a crappy experience for passengers.
Exertion of control does not always imply manipulation; compliance can be enthusiastic and voluntary.

A weekend softball league might schedule games, which to a (yes, very minor) degree, is all about controlling who goes where and when for those who want to play softball.

Really, if an organization cannot expect voluntary compliance from its members on anything at all, is it even an organization? A single shared common belief is all it takes.
A lot of spam calls I get aren't in English. I'd like to filter voicemails by language.
it's a very important concept, but it's a far cry from having a (redundant) gage and introducing it into the scanning pattern. Air speed is generally a very good indicator of how far you're from stall, unless you're in the army doing crazy attitudes very close to the ground.

I'm pretty sure that small aerobatic planes don't have an angle of attack indicator, while the pilot would know everything there is to know about attitude control, having a number is not useful.
This may have better odds of getting around the Chicken Tax than imported diesel pickups. The Sprinter vans are imported knocked-down, then re-assembled. I’d like a flat-bed diesel Toyota like you can buy in Australia.

That's why they can cheat and lie as much as they do.
True, it does say that... Why would that be the case, though?

At any rate, having had that AoA disagree warning (limited to above 400 ft) would not have saved these planes, it seems to me. Having had an AoA disagree warning on the ground might have.
The bar for a new programming language is higher than ten years ago.

Introducing a language should now include "What are the cool new things in this language?" The short list where this shines, e.g., "Go - compiles really fast and no classes". "Rust - deep safety and a novel macro system". "Python - Batteries included and easy to write."

A language also needs to include some design philosophies. Sometimes its simple: "DRY"; sometimes its the tradeoffs ordered in Zen of Python. You need to say something.

So, what's this new language do again?
This is a great paper. Very long, but worth every bit of it. BTW, here is a recent blog post about the paper: http://duboue.net/blog27.html

One of the key insights I took away was the importance of using out-of-sample predictive accuracy as a metric for regression tasks in statistics—just like in ML. The standard best practices in STATS 101 is to compute R^2 coefficient (based on data of the sample), which is akin to reporting error estimates on your training data (in-sample predictive accuracy).

IMHO, statistics is one of the most fascinating and useful fields of study with countless applications. If only we could easily tell apart what is "legacy code" vs. what is fundamental... See this recent article https://www.gwern.net/Everything the points out the limitations of Null Statistical Hypothesis Testing (NHST), another one of the pillars of STATS 101.
I totally get the ecological argument but how would changing to a socialist system (which is what we're talking about here without saying the word) fix it?

The planet's woes are caused by bad human behavior. There's no rule that says one must be inherently bad in order to have a capitalist business, just like there's no rule that would make a socialist economy naturally non-polluting. Governments and militaries are terrible polluters and they don't have a profit motive.

People are people and collectivism won't change that. Hitler, too, wanted the "New Man." It's dangerous to suggest that letting others decide for us (statism) would be capable of bringing that about.

I've owned a Toyota, a Mazda, and two Hondas, and some Ford diesels, all with ICEs. All were over ten years old when I got them and beat to crap. None of these vehicles have ever needed engine repairs. But they all needed work on the suspension, brakes, and electrics. And I've never heard anyone talk about an actual engine breaking, apart from carbeurated motorcycle engines. If other people's experience is the same, I'm surprised that this particular EV marketing point makes it past the bullshit detector.

I'm also kind of disappointed that repairability isn't an EV marketing point, as electrical systems are easy to work on and diagnose compared to mechanical systems. Oh well, maybe the USA and China go to war then repairing and building becomes an American patriotic virtue
