Has the same kind of training. It is interesting to see the difference in culture between ultralight and general aviation flying.

In general aviation, the focus tends to be about doing things right: proper procedures, precise flying, etc... Ultralight tends to be more about getting prepared in case things go wrong. In fact, more than half of my training was about dealing with engine failures.

I think the difference in training comes from the fact that crashes are more frequent with ultralight aircraft but they are also more survivable. A big part of it is that ultralight aircraft are lighter (duh) and can fly slow, which mean mush less energy to dissipate, and it matters a lot if you are going to crash into a forest.
I suppose it would be nice to know we can worry less about how we impact things, but I don't see what the point is in wishful thinking.

I find the don't-consider-syntax-highlighting-at-all argument odd. It's like arguing traffic lights shouldn't use colors to indicate stop-and-go because some people either cannot perceive the color difference or choose to wear glasses that negate the color difference.

(Analogies here suck. Instead, consider that the vast majority of programmers read code that has been syntax highlighted. To completely discount that experience at all would be odd.)

I'm just glad I got to read this comment before r/vegan showed up and downvoted it into oblivion. Such is the current state of discourse around this subject on HN.

We need to eat less meat, we need to look after animals better and we need to do it in a much more eco-friendly and sustainable manner. We don't all need to go vegan. Going from one extreme to another is never the answer.
No? It says Amazon is cutting back on the "Sold by Amazon.com" items and pushing those items onto the marketplace, and only sticking to directly selling items from large manufacturers.
> it's whether or not they _should_

I personally don't think they should be shut down. (Fines and potentially criminal proceedings, under contempt laws, for Zuckerberg and Sandberg would make more sense.) But they should face some consequences. Keeping all lawful options on the table is a good negotiating strategy.

With respect to metastasisation, that is a concern. But fortunately there isn't a rich history of lawful companies blowing off multiple countries' Parliaments. The one-offness of the situation isn't in countries reacting, but in how complacent they've been with it all.

No one ever talks about eBay anymore....but when are we going to collectively realize that they are the best of the "big tech" companies?

They've stayed remarkable true to their mission, haven't entered politics (ironic given previous CEO), and continued to offer a good service.

Since the commingling of inventory is now so prevalent at Amazon, I find myself using eBay more and more.
When everyone learns just who the Natives of North and South America. Then Americus Empire would get back Recognition to what is Fact. Americus Empire was already Recognized as a Nation and as world citizens as far back as 422b.c. These are recorded facts that sits in archives one being in central park of N.Y.C. When the linguistics are followed and read in the ancient first Coptic language, Renegade laws will stop assuming jurisdiction in North and South America. May I add, "there" (white tribes, Royals of UK):have exact and total jurisdiction because those ways and customs are theirs. Americus Empire is The Camels Eye Treaty under cosus omasus law. Newcomers and Government refer and may be better familiar with The Eye of Isis Treaty. I bet everyone that would love to believe that I am mistaken does not even know your Treaty just like the rest of First Nations people that are classified as prisoners of war under international law. Treason is what domestic Renegade laws of North America are in violation of. Assumed Jurisdiction continues because The Indian doesn't even know who they are and that's just what the royal proclamation intended. Spirit and intent was to destroy my race and have power over Mother Earth's land.
One of my past employers, a major Adnet with whom I only worked 6 months, employed a lawyer company full time just to just scoop and snoop their employees social media posts.

In Houston, the bus and rails lines have stops about every 200m (2 blocks). Many of the lines have big gaps between stops (in the multiples of KMs), typically going to a transit center.
No. Amazon is pushing smaller sellers into their marketplace platform which is ride with counterfeits, thieves, and garbage products with fake reviews purchased on Facebook. My wife and I stopped going to Amazon because product quality started getting so bad. It's to the point that I trust Alibaba or eBay over Amazon, which is a shame. I suspect there's a lot of less vocal people in the same boat who've started exploring other merchants.
Kind of funny you have zero citations of your own other than a single story (not a study) about how some plants are grown somewhere.

>And from ecological, to health and ethical considerations, most pro-vegan arguments (not all) are bullshit.

As an expert in one of these three fields, I can say with certainty that you're just making up these claims from whole cloth to fit your narrative.

Edit: I want to edit this to make clear I'm not just making a claim to authority and saying everyone should believe me. This response was mainly out of frustration at outright nonsense like "meat keeps us healthy" that no health organization in the world is going to subscribe to. I hope people in general are aware enough of some of these issues to detect the problems in the post I replied to and look into some of these questions for themselves.

If nothing more is done than shut them down then yes, the market's incentives wouldn't change. If those incentives are changed, however, lasting effects can be produced.

If Facebook were pursued under antitrust laws, as some are suggesting [1], it would set an precedent. Similarly, laws like GDPR (one among many options) could change the incentives around hoarding data and using it to target users with exploitative ads.

There are solutions. But they require debate. That requires Facebook's senior leadership show up to summons.

If the app developer is not aware of what the code they ship is collecting from their customers, the app developer should not be including that code.

More over: why are you using an analytics system that involves sending your user's data to an arbitrary third party? Someone who is using your app has agreed to a relationship with you, not with facebook, or google, or what have you.

Roger McNamee might not be an idiot but ample evidences have shown that competence in one field doesn't translate well into other fields. It's just hubris to assume one is expert in everything.
I worked at RadioShack in the late 90's. We had to ask for name, address, and phone number. It was just part of the transaction flow on the point of sale. If we got resistance, we could just put it under a "CASH CASH" customer. I vaguely remember telling customers "it's so they can send you our catalog". RadioShack sent out nice heavy catalogs each year, which many people liked. Sometimes if we were busy or just lazy, we'd just do that anyway. While my understanding was that it was primarily for marketing purposes, it was also useful in that we could pull up receipts by phone number (in case you lost yours), verify warranty/extended warranty status, etc.
Large projects are complex. The JVM is designed to be a platform for developing general purpose software, which is why it provides options for tuning and whatnot. golang only comes with a low latency GC, which basically means you cannot use golang if you're looking for high throughput.
I often test the latest Linux distros on crappy old hardware (and new hardware) just to see how compatible they are.

> There's no hint in that expression that it's anything other than a method call.

Compared with `fut.await`...

> There's no hint in that expression that it's anything other than a field access.

At least there is precedence for functions to have magical compiler-ness for 'doing stuff', instead of overloading field access which is one of the simplest operations you can have.

> ... requires knowing the type of `fut` ...

tbh, you don't need to know how await works. It goes and does stuff and returns a value. If you need to know what it does, you're looking up the types and seeing, 'oh its a future' and looking at that.

Contrast with the field access one and you don't even know its something else entirely.

I guess I just don't buy that it can't be a method. Like, formally, yea, it isn't a well-defined, safe Rust method. But make the impl

fn await(self: Self) -> Self::Target {
intrinsic::await(self)
}

Now its a method defined on the `Future` trait, it's discoverable, it's clearly magic, it's ergonomic... In my opinion, it beats the field access one in every conceivable metric.

It's just frustrating, I guess.
At the end of dismantling the original claims:

> MAA calls itself as a non-profit, but make no mistake: This outfit is a supplement-pushing e-commerce company that collects and sells consumer data. By MAA’s own admission, it gets a commission on sales of supplements from other affiliates -- and none of the bogus products it pushes have been evaluated or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration or any other governmental authority.
If you grew up watching subtitled cinema, it becomes second nature. You manage to hear the original audio, watch the actors' faces, and read the subtitles, all without missing a beat. Believe me, it trumps the alternative, which is dubbing. Where I come from, dubbing is for kids' movies ;)

The Global Policy Director of FB, with the head of Canadian public policy in tow, actually made this statement. It insults the intelligence of everyone at that hearing.

At this point, one can only assume that these absurd excuses are fully intentional. They are counting on Western governments's fears of being branded "censors" being too great for them to take any action besides "well, we tried".
> Important to note that this "purge" is only for wholesale suppliers, not for marketplace sellers like the title implies.

Yes, but I avoid the marketplace sellers. I've been burned too often with those -- if I'm going to roll the dice on that sort of thing, I'm better off with eBay.

Creating a custom OS from scratch that's somehow more secure than a system that's 40 years old will be a real interesting feat.

If they base it on Linux (didn't see evidence of that but didn't get that far in to the article) then that'll give them some head start.
They are in the business of lecturing and assessing, not teaching you how to learn. In college, you are expected to teach yourself. It's why they have libraries, it's why you might only have classes for 10 hours a week.

Any tough class I've had always had a few students get a near perfect score. They were given the exact same lectures, content, and resources as people who failed the class (myself included sometimes), but all they did was engage with it more thoroughly outside of class. The professors job isn't to hold your hand and pull you through college, like a high school teacher might, it's to just lay out what's expected of you to pass the class. Whether or not you go home and put in the work you personally need to comprehend it as well as some of your peers is entirely up to your own circumstances. It's not even the school's job to educate you. The school's job is to provide you with the resources you need to pass your classes. Whether or not you receive an education is entirely up to you.
It is entirely different. The residual amount on your food is orders of magnitude smaller than what you'd encounter working with a concentrated solution containing glyphosate.
It seems people want to eat their cake and have it too.

But you could make exactly the same point about Facebook (and Youtube, and Twitter). They want the protection from liability that comes from being a common carrier, like the phone company or the post office, but they also want to take positions on current affairs, like a newspaper or a TV station. They must be made to choose which one they want to be.
YouTube Gaming looked like a shot in the dark from the onset.
>"Except the records being broken are low temperature records. "

The last 5 years are the warmest 5 years in recorded history. Possibly the warmest in 110,000 years. It's also exactly how warm scientists predicted it would be with the emissions scenario that played out. I don't know what stupid blog you get your info from, but you should stop.

>"The magnetosphere protects Earth from space weather, which includes Cosmic radiation, Coronal holes, Coronal mass ejections, etc."

There is no evidence that cosmic or solar rays have any effect on climate. We have a good geologic record of the behavior of the magnetosphere. It doesn't correlate at all with climate data. This is from the psuedoscience blogosphere. Not actual science.

The sun affects climate, but it's variability isn't as strong as the forcing from co2 and none of the warming from the last 30 years can be from the sun since the sun has been in a cooling phase.
You would have to take some form of positive action, for example improve women's rights, to do so. But the problem is that this will reach only the more open minded parts of the population, which again will result in the other part (often religious fundamentalists or simply less educated parts of the population) inheriting the earth. It's a grim situation.

I'm wondering if the "shut down facebook" routine is a spoiler; it's so obviously not going to happen, but talking about it uses up time and energy that might be spent on actually fixing the problem.
federated alternatives to "Big media" already exist, in usable form for the average user. Signing onto Mastodon is barely any different than signing onto twitter. The only thing that's missing is a coordinated effort to actually move everyone out of the silos.

We can democratize discourse without having facebook in the loop who has the exact same incentives that big media has to monetize and curate what we say. Big Tech is no more democratic or acting in our interest than big media just because they've got a juicero machine in the office and a ping pong table in the lobby.
I'd say the Chinese are more capable of this than the US, if for no other reason than that's the place where almost all hardware and hardware components are already made.
At the end of their takedown of the claims, they point out that "MAA" sells BS supplements and "health products" that likely do nothing at all.

This comment really struck me. I've personally always found the anti-GMO crowd to be nonexistent by every metric I have available to me, but I've always assumed I'm just not seeing it wherever it is. The most extreme opinions I ever encounter on the subject are the occasional individual merely wondering out loud if GMOs are bad for you.
Totally! To clarify, by the "drop the ball" do you mean knowing when to call it quits if something is not working out? I recently wrote about my experience with that: https://www.derrickreimer.com/essays/2019/05/17/im-walking-a...

You'd be blown away by Linux Kernel development then. Multiple magnitudes above any measurement of an await syntax bikeshedding. /u/Perceptes puts it best than I ever could in this top voted comment on /r/rust [1]:

"...I personally don't care at all about the await syntax, and have been very unhappy with that bikeshed being such a focus of time and discussion. The real problems I have with the unstable async system are how difficult it is to reason about. Compiler errors are still largely indecipherable. impl Trait didn't really help here. Documentation is still sparse, so I spend a lot of time banging my head against the wall, trying many formulations of my programs to get just the right incantation of futures wrapped in futures wrapped in futures to get things to compile, only to get page-long type mismatch errors that are near impossible to read, and multiple closures/functions deep of nested futures being returned where any of them could be the culprit. I'm also very frustrated by the lack of progress on "abstract types" that are required for using async functions (and returning impl Trait) from trait methods. Traits are the cornerstone of Rust's type system and yet I haven't seen any activity on this for months. And now we're talking stabilization with this glaring hole. Async streams are another thing I've seen almost no progress on, aside from a blog post from withoutboats on how to deal with the ? operator within async for loops..."
