There’s no such thing as a “bank card” you talk about. It’s called “debit card” and is the exact same thing, with the exact same baseline security.

What is confusing you is probably that European banks push 3D Secure really hard, so most online transactions are further verified, and that chip&pin cards and online readers are prevalent - the same thing Americans call “Apple Pay is supported”.

All that works on debit OR credit cards.
"exported to China ... to avoid ... Chinese car taxes"

If you want to avoid Chinese car taxes, exporting a car to China doesn't seem like a good start.

It's common for consumption taxes to be paid where the item is consumed. So if these exports 'avoid BC luxury vehicle tax' as you say, this makes total sense.

But those cars would be subject to tax when imported into China.

If you're a car manufacturer that sells your cars at higher pre-tax prices in China than in the rest of the world (i.e. most car manufacturers) then you don't want people to do this.
People carry their luggage because they know it will take years before they get reimbursed, and often they remain stranded in the foreign city with no passport. You need to ensure there is no incentive to keep your luggage, otherwise people will do it no matter the fine.

McCarthy: 'Recursive Functions of Symbolic Expressions and Their Computation by Machine':

'In this article, we first describe a formalism for defining functions recursively. We believe this formalism has advantages both as a programming language and as a vehicle for developing a theory of computation'

There is a lot of fluff in the Wolfram article:

'To be fair, the Wolfram Language is the sole example that exists of a full-scale computational language. But one gets a sense of magnitude from it. While the core of a standard programming language typically has perhaps a few tens of primitive functions built in, the Wolfram Language has more than 5600—with many of those individually representing major pieces of computational intelligence. And in its effort to be able to talk about the real world, the Wolfram Language also has millions of entities of all sorts built into it. And, yes, the Wolfram Language has had more than three decades of energetic, continuous development put into it.'

Just like other attempts in making vast amounts of world knowledge available for computation. See for example Cyc of Cycorp.
And for PoC pick one with more memory - e.g. you can find chip (like stm32f0x1) with same pinout, peripherals - you can optimize that later, and don't worry about it while using fat libraries.
> why use a mac when WSL2 is out and Linux desktops are getting traction?

This is applicable only for devs. Mac is not going anywhere for people in a lot of industries - writers, photographers, business, smb etc. WSL changes nothing for them and Linux was not in consideration anyways.

Even for devs, I can argue that Mac/Windows are preferable over Linux. Don't get me wrong, I love Linux but only on the server. Using Mac/Windows adds significant QoL improvements which are just not there on Linux.
I can't imagine why any pilot would have trouble landing the plane full of fuel. The issue with landing heavy is the potential for damage to the landing gear and tires, a perfectly acceptable trade off in an emergency.
A better way of improving housing equality is by adding a new renter tax. Every time a property is rented out, the landlord would need to pay a one-time tax. Landlords will be incentivized to keep tenants in their homes longer, as increasing the rent and forcing someone out will look less attractive if they have to pay a tax for a new renter.
It's a total trash article, just sensationally-hysterical crying.

"It’s not clear at this point if the plane was on fire before it landed"

It is totally clear, just read more official sources. Plane was not on fire before landing. You can see it even on videos.

"While a deadly fire raged around them, witnesses say people were nonetheless stopping to collect their carry-ons, clogging the aisles and slowing the evacuation"

It's a lie. One of the survivors, who left the plane last (not first), witnessed there was no such issue, path was clear and evacuation was quick.

Engines didn't stop - they were working as blust furs, accelerating fire, so people behind the wings died in about 20 seconds. 2 people survived after row 12, just because they started running before the fire started.

Such an awful example of "sensational" journalism.

there's also a major shift in relative worth of the hand luggage. what was small value electronic and underwear is now thousand dollars worth in devices with various leases and terms attached that represent a significant value for the owner.

this is not exculpating the behavior of course, but highlights something has changed in this area at least.

it's likely that this will result in the overhead containers having locks that are engaged for as long as the slides are armed.
Yes, it is too much, because I lost count how many luggages I had to replace du to careless handling by ground crews and that is assuming that we actually get it back.
This person did not bother to read anything about the incident but is quick to blame "people's stupidity". There were plenty of details available before this was posted on May 9th, including the Wikipedia article.

> If indeed lightning touched off a fire aboard Aeroflot 1492, this would be highly unusual

No, the lightning did not set off a fire. There was no fire until it landed. See Wikipedia Aeroflot 1492.

> there’s evidence that the death toll was higher than it should have been, thanks to the selfish actions of a number of passengers

Fails to reference any of this evidence. All eyewitness accounts I've read (see below) say the passengers with bags were business class and they did not interfere with the evacuation. The state news said 4 days ago the evacuation was completed in 55 seconds (last link at the bottom). Sure, they are lying and this guy has better sources but he failed to mention where he got his "evidence" from.

Eyewitnesses (a passenger and a flight attendant) say the back of the plane filled with thick smoke and started melting even before it stopped. The only people who survived in the rows 12+ were the two who rushed to the front while the plane was still moving. By the time the plane stopped people in rows 12+ were most likely already unconscious. Yet, TFA's author is smearing people as "stupid" and is 100% certain it was the stupid luggage people.

How many transactions per second can bitcoin really handle ? Theoretically.
I hope these cases could be added to flight safety manuals, when and where this accident happened, how many people died and most importantly, why.

This could be so much better than a simple "Don't bring your luggage during an emergency exit" sentence.
Yes you can make some lovecraftian horrors if you really want to, but SQL is one of those things where just a little bit of knowledge goes a long way.

I agree. At the same time a little bit of knowledge is incredibly dangerous.

That query, which worked so brilliantly on the test system during devlopment, suddenly grinds all of production to a halt.

The basic problem is that indexing and other physical performance boosters were not really rerquired when those queries were tested with 3'000 customers.

Being set-based that's quite different when you suddenly deal with 30'000'000 customers and a number of joins, which may not be supported by indexes, since that was never obvious in development.

That said: I'm not arguing against SQL. It's a great language for its purpose. What I do argue for is to have an SQL domain expert and an expert on how it phyisically maps to the underlying database engine for more complex projects.

Such a resource can be immensly valuable in assisting application developers to avoid major mistakes when they deal with the underlying database.

> If you just said "All Chromebooks will also be Linux laptops", it's reasonable to expect that existing Chromebooks will be made Linux-ready as well.

Adding "going forward" does not remove this ambiguity. You just happen to know the correct answer. I still assumed that existing ones would also be Linux-ready, until I read your comment.

> "Going forward" means "from now on, but not including the past".

No, it just means "from now on". It has the exact same meaning as the future tense.

Your comment confirms something I suspected: unnecessary linguistic mannerisms and corporate clichés are a symptom of confused thinking.

Going forward, I will add this to my list of arguments. But not in my past discussions.
Well, it might help raise awareness if the proceedings get significant news coverage.

>>Is it really too much to check the bags in and wait at the baggage carousel at the other end to retrieve them?

Yes, because the airlines I usually fly with have a single manned desk for check-ins, so whenever I fly with anything to check I literally have to add 60-90 minutes just for standing in a queue to check it in. It's obscene. So I'd rather travel "light" and fit everything I need in a bag that's allowed on board and go straight through departures. And then of course there are things I wouldn't ever check in - my laptop and camera - so they need to come with me on-board anyway.
They may have been planning for years but they also have been in denial for years. This is not more of the same for them: they have to change. Most of their existing production capacity is a liability rather than an asset. It's something they are going to have to get rid off/shut down (and that's not cheap) and it is starting to look like they'll be doing that years/decades ahead of what they hoped would be the timeline. Tesla is forcing their hands here by shipping in volume before everyone thought/hoped that was possible.

Their distribution network is a source of extra cost. Tesla eliminated that from the equation. There are no third party dealers. Dealers take a margin cut. With VW, that margin comes out of VWs pocket. Tesla doesn't have this.

The drive train VW has developed has to now prove itself in the real world. Early indications are that it is a combination of more expensive to make and not as performant as what Tesla has. Tesla has done well here and VW is catching up.

"In his new book, Assange points to a cable pertaining to US Ambassador William Roebuck, who served as the Political Counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Damascus between 2004-2007, about plans for overthrowing the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad at the time."

FWIW the first reaction across all russian language sources was exactly the same as on this thread. From what I understand (based on later reporting and comments by two survivors) there were no delays due to people grabbing bags or anything else. The maim issue seem to have been the rear escape door not working. It might be a good idea to wait for official results of the investigation before calling for all sort of action.
Maybe the overheads compartment should lock and remain locked in the event of an accident so that people are forced to leave some of their carry-ons on the plane.
The article raises a valid concern, but the last person who left the plane alive said in a recent interview that there was no congestion in this particular accident. [0]

Please, not this same old tired argument. I could say the exact same thing but in reverse, it would still be true for some definition of truth and we'd be none the wiser.

> My contention is that they could have instead replaced VolFs with a native WSL1 file system that uses a disk partition or VHD as its backend storage, thus eliminating the Windows I/O stack in the same way. They could then have implemented proper Linux file system semantics without any baggage.

But that would require them to implement a new file system from scratch wouldn't it? VolFs in WSL1 relied on NTFS to do the heavy lifting.

Far easier to just let the Linux kernel handle it.
Here's some reading since it seems many were interested in the topic: https://apps.americanbar.org/abastore/products/books/abstrac...

> The Supreme Court traces the roots of our Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination to the protections the English courts and Parliament
granted to those religious dissenters who were compelled to take oaths when called before the ecclesiastical courts, as well as the Court of High
Commission and the Star Chamber. These courts used the “oath ex officio” to force heretics from the Church of England to swear before God to truthfully answer all questions, even before the heretics even knew the nature of the accusations against them. By use of the oath in conducting their investigations of religious heresy, these courts left witnesses with the “cruel trilemma” of (1) refusing to take the oath, which constituted contempt and subjected the person to torture; (2) taking the oath and telling the truth about their religious beliefs, which, if heretical, was punishable by death; or (3) taking the oath and lying, which was also punishable by death. In other words, this inquisitorial system countenanced methods of interrogating persons designed to lead only to confessions.

> [...] Parliament eventually abolished the Court of High Commission and the Star Chamber and, in 1662, passed a law providing that “no man shall administer to any person whatsoever the oath usually called ex officio or any other oath whereby such persons may be charged or compelled to confess to any criminal matter.” By the late eighteenth century, as the English common law courts began to recognize the presumption of innocence, trial judges in criminal cases began to afford defendants the right not to incriminate themselves, establishing the privilege against self-incrimination as a fundamental rule of evidence.

Sorry, but grabbing your luggage during the evacuation of a plane due to fire is incredibly stupid.

All your shit can be replaced. Lifes, which depend on seconds because pathes are blocked by passengers grabbing their luggage or by dropped luggage, cannot.

> Windows Firewall worked on WSL Pico processes for example.

In WSL1 they share the same IP addresses and TCP/UDP port space, while WSL2 has an separated IP address. I suppose there is some NAT to make the network working in WSL2.

At the end of Q&A part they mentioned that sharing localhost, IP addresses, and port number space (which is a WSL1 feature) may be done in future, but they have no roadmap for it right now.
I've never been in a flight accident (thankfully), but from my experience in amateur kickboxing fights when you're in a stressful environment (in a ring) and everyone is screaming, I don't think I ever heard a thing my corner was yelling at me, even if they were only a few metres away, my brain just went into auto-pilot. So I wouldn't discount his story.
The SmartButton scenario is exactly the incentive we want, isn't it?

If you have made genuine improvements in versions 2-19, releasing version 1 shouldn't hurt too much. If, on the other hand, your versions 1 and 19 are still substantially similar, you shouldn't stop supporting version 1 to save a small cost and completely destroy the value of the product for your customers.
I think perhaps travelers need more training (at least the mental process of checking "what shall I do if we need to evacuate") and perhaps the luggage compartments need to be automatically locked when evacuating. It's hard to make people think the same way, though.

Aisles aren't going to become much wider - it's always a compromise of convenience and safety in the extremely unlikely event of evacuation vs. cost and also the now ever-more prevalent concern about co2 emissions cause by reduced number of seats.

Perhaps the first thing to do is have a LOUD intercom when evacuating: "do not take any luggage, just get out". This is already emphasized in the routine pre-flight security show, but people don't pay much attention.

:P I didn't say the real cost, I just said house prices. So I have a weaselly escape route on that one. Nevertheless...

You seem to be going to the real cost of housing; there are very complicated feedback loops and if there is a good argument for what should happen in theory I don't know it.

My personal belief is that if you reduce bank lending then they will discover they can't raise the interest rate enough to make up the losses from people borrowing less money. You might reasonably disagree.

Note that in practical terms the way a bank loan works is that a buyer can elect to jump to the front of the queue of buyers by promising some of their future earnings to the bank. Since all buyers have this option, the equilibrium is likely a bank extracts some portion of the future income from all the buyers without changing the ultimate order of the queue (the buyer with the most money is likely the one who can promise the best return to the bank to stay in front). It doesn't really cost the banks anything to create a loan, they just account the money into existence. That factors in.

Given that frame, it seems likely to me that reduced bank lending activity will be to the net benefit of the buyers at maybe some cost to the sellers. Exactly how it shakes out depends on the details of how lending activity is reduced.

"""
In moments of total disaster — plane crashes or terrorist attacks — something happens in our brains that affects the way we think. We behave differently, often irrationally.

...

Ripley searches for patterns in human behavior by interviewing hundreds of people who lived through catastrophes. Quick-witted survivors are surprisingly anomalous. One fellow who made it through a horrific aircraft disaster in 1977 happened to be sitting on the runway reading an in-flight safety instruction card when another plane crashed into his. He grabbed his wife, leapt through a hole in the fuselage, and turned to see his fellow passengers remaining docilely in their seats, immobile. Most of them died within minutes as fire swept through the wreckage.

...

The author concludes that all of us undergo a three-stage process when we find ourselves in mortal peril: denial, deliberation and the "decisive moment," during which the survivor buckles down and acts. The trick, she says, may be to understand our instincts, which, in a crisis, may betray us.
