People argue it here all the time but I'm certainly skeptical. The hardest intellectual work of my life, my undergrad at MIT, I spent far more than 8 hours a day, 4 days a week on. The idea that all the undergrads there burning the midnight oil are just being foolish and don't they know they could get all their work done in less time doesn't pass the smell test for me.
Not a contradiction. Surgery is a skill honed by repetition and experience over many years. A cognitive task like mathematical theorem proving can be mastered by a bright teenager in much, much less time.

I suspect as you age your Bayesian priors become stronger and stronger so all new data only mildly updates your priors. Young people have very weak priors, so new data can easily affect their thinking.

Anecdotally, my mom has had a smart phone for more than 5 years but she still has just memorized certain functions she knows how to do like texting and placing a call. Ask her to do anything else and she throws up her hands. My 2 year old daughter, while not able to text or place calls, has a much more intuitive grasp of how the phone works and has been able to learn a lot of functionality on her own.

Or another example is that I've noticed from my (albeit limited) experience that all the surgeons I've worked with who used robotic surgical systems were younger (30s-40s). Anecdotally but I think there's a pattern there. Younger people tend to be more open to learning something radically new.

So while virtually all skills benefit from repetition and experience, some skills require more cognitive flexibility (ability to forget what you already know and start fresh) and demand frequent learning and re-learning.
Another type of demonetization like you pointed out.

>I'd be surprised if Tesla didn't tell people when they were handed the keys that they were getting extras to "try out".

I've seen this happen with apps and SaaS services and I find it so annoying that I actively try to downgrade immediately where possible. Sadly this isn't always possible. Evaluation is subjective, and pain points are often only obvious once you run into them (i.e. passengers complain about cold seats).

>it wasn't common to test drive the same exact configuration you were ordering anyway since everything is custom built.

You're right that's common practice, not just for cars.

IIRC one of the reasons XMPP has fallen out of favor with even the federation movements is that it's original core is so small, and optional extensions (XEPs) so many, that no service could reliably interoperate with all the features users came to expect.

It was also not designed with high latency and battery requirements in mind, such as mobile phones have. Apparently Matrix is trying to pick up where XMPP has failed.

You need a band-filter. In the simplest case, the antenna is one. I haven't looked into it in more detail, but I would guess that they exploit the higher harmonics of the square wave to actually reach the 1.5GHz.
A local brewery complied with this by having a sign that said they would serve pizza, but it was something like from Dominoes and would cost 150$ if you ordered it.
Strange that they can call it a standard yet continue to include non-agreed-upon extensions. At some point it becomes false advertising, unless they fork it under a new MIME type

They clearly seem to be scaling back the servers for their hosted Skype for Business through Office 365. I agree call quality and reliability has been on a solidly downward trend over 2019.

Teams isn't really up to feature parity yet, and the UI is awful; multitasking is completely impossible. Of course, the target isn't replacing SfB, actually, because Teams is really Microsoft Slack.

I think things were at their best in the Lync 2010 iteration, to be honest. The most egregious thing was when they bought Skype, rebranded Lync as Skype for Business, and clearly just did a light reskin of the client with Skype colors and logos - it was over a year before the About dialog showed a minor revision bump, or stopped calling itself Lync 2013.
True, but he discovered that had he written a new version from scratch, the new version would have been erased and replaced. It was detecting the question set - he would have been required to put the questions into his version too.

Hmm. I think you are over-selling genomics as a tool for significant future advances in personalized medicine because it is only useful in a limited number of straightforward cases (as you say: easy phenotypes). After all, an individual's DNA contains only most basic information. I think a more likely source for advances in personalized medicine is from live snapshots of an individual's proteome. Genomics is like reading the source code and proteomics is more like a debugger.
> Would you consider this to be age discrimination (from a moral perspective; let's ignore legal considerations since those are incredibly vague and convoluted)?

It's straightforward (disparate impact) age discrimination from a legal perspective. The law in this area isn't that vague and convoluted.

There's no reason to "resolve" it. It's just a name, not a gettable resource.
> Also, thousands of Chinese ex-pat students have been expelled from US schools.

Very hard to draw any conclusions about this...

From the article: "About 8,000 Chinese students were expelled from American schools in the past year... Most were expelled because of a low grade point average (GPA)"

Another source quoting the same research says:

"A 54-page report released this week says that schools in the United States have expelled 1,657 Chinese since the 2012-2013 school year, mainly for “academic dishonesty or low academic performances,” but a company representative now says the number might be as high as 8,000 students. “A lot of students tend to keep silent or go back to their country,” says Andrew Chen, chief development officer at WholeRen." [1] (also, note that your source is wrong, as this is over the 3 year period from 2012 - 2015, not over the year 2015)

So it's 1657 over 3 years, but "might be as high as as high as 8000" according to a company representative? And over half of that was for poor performance, not cheating. So we can say that between 800 and 4000 students were expelled for academic dishonesty over 3 years.

How does that compare to the general population? Not sure, but according to these statistics, over 100,000 students were expelled in 2006 from public schools in the US. [2] They don't break this down by reason, but that's a pretty big number compared to 200 - 1300 in a year for Chinese students, especially considering the US hosts a quarter million Chinese students each year [1].

What do you mean they are the same? Hiring an immigrant who is legally authorized to work in the country is different than figuring out the target country's tax laws. It's the same reason American companies tend to disallow remote work from places they don't have a physical presence.

While the spacer.gif made me really nostalgic, this is one of the things I don't miss.

However, layoutwise HTML is at the moment much like it had been in 1999: The basic structure with banner, nav, main, footer is much like the standard frameset, if there had only been role/landmark-markup for frames, and CSS-grid in its basic form is much like table-layout (less those Daliesque "poles" for positioning). Where there had been those fancy CMS templates with modular components, there are now frameworks… (However, JS is "a bit" more powerful and has grown out of `document.write()`.)

That said,landmarks and aria-markup are really a great deal when it comes to accessibility and are probably the most underrated additions to HTML.
To this day, HomeSite was my favorite HTML editor. The Allaire ColdFusion Studio variant, my favorite IDE for a language. Everything went downhill when Macromedia purchased Allaire, and we got Dreamweaver.
An iPhone can do a lot without any apps installed besides the stock apps. Pictures, calling, texting, web browsing, many many services online with a web interface like banking tinder facebook and many other popular platforms. The limitations of the original iPhone had some issues but Apple has slowly integrated the best features. That brings me to another point, many features apple copied from jailbreakers and you can also jailbreak some versions of ios and run all sorts of apps not in the app store.
Because those companies have never released stolen material from offices they bugged.

Microsoft's telemetry data is like sending the teacher a note that you viewed the material. Huawei hides a camera in your home steals your homework and beats you out of that college placement with your own material.
Also I wanted to note that the image you linked to compares an iPhone's ads with Xiaomi's (if I am correct) and the image doesn't mention Huawei.
for all we know Tesla want to make on demand style manufacturing of vehicles possible.
Google knows the affected regions and probably has very fine grained data around this. I mean, they can even tell you metrics about your instances, they don't have monitoring on their own infrastructure to determine impact radius?

People bought lots of iPhones before the App Store existed. Before Cydia even existed. They were pretty good. You could send SMS messages, browse the web, take photos, and play it like an iPod even.
On the contrary, I think we’re learning that consumers do care if they feel like they have some basic knowledge and control of their personal data.

We would be very skeptical because the Chinese government is very untrustworthy. If the BBC reported that a British tech company found out Samsung was spying on it, I doubt anyone (except maybe Samsung and the South Korean government) would dismiss the accusation out of hand.
I don't have an aerospace degree, but I will nonetheless comment on a few of your comments:

Engine cooling: diesel engines need substantially less cooling than petrol engines, hp-for-hp.

Gearbox certification: you are generalizing from one example. Every turboprop has a gearbox. Most helicopters have a "complex" gearbox, coupling two (and sometimes three) engines.

Long propeller shaft: Not really a hard problem. Helicopter tail shafts seem more difficult.

Pusher efficiency: The propeller efficiency will be a bit lower for the reasons you mention, however the overall aerodynamic efficiency is likely to be higher. There are plenty of citations for this.

Pusher noise: Again, you are generalizing from one example (Avanti, in which the source of the noise is largely the turbine exhaust interacting with the propeller blades).

Forward visibility: I suspect they intend to use a camera. Other solutions are possible also. WW2 fighters had no forward visibility on landing.

Landing gear and door, tail strikes: yes, probably "prototype" stage engineering

Coffin corner: The potential problems are a consequence of specific airplane design. They are easy to avoid, though admittedly by sacrificing a smidgin of performance.

High altitude flight: I can't see that thing getting to 65,000 feet with that propeller and those wings... the number was taken from the patent, it seems, and may not have real world significance with the current design.

Overall, I think it is great to see a bit of innovation and experimentation happening in aviation again.

Yes, the Pi only has digital pins. I didn't really watch the video but I assume any antenna is connected to another board and that board is controlled through the Pi pins.

Actually, looking at the photo of the internals, it looks like the only thing connected to GPIO is the GPS board, all the radio hardware is connected to USB ports.

This reminds me of the OJ Simpson murder trials, one criminal and one civil. But two different outcomes.

Harvey Weinstein is facing both a judicial and public trial of sorts. Yet in that case there appear to be more public accusers, and some with nothing to gain and much to lose. (Which I think makes their statements more convincing, if more difficult to produce an independent jury for any judicial trial.)

EDIT: typo
The Great Lakes in Africa are close to the equator.
How is range determined by software? Isn't that purely a function of how many amp hours of battery you have?

Absolutely. Unless you're working on a greenfield project or refactoring code for extreme performance, understanding the operational side of the business will get you more points towards the mythical 10x programmer status than algorithms.

I can't count the times I've seen scope creep and deadline slippage because the developer didn't really understand the need & use case and built something other than what was required.

There is one consumer push for a mesh-networking phone that was in the news recently, Volk Fi.

Some pessimism surrounds them though.

> The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit did not agree. In a ruling this year supporting CareFusion, it stated that recruiting practices that have the effect of screening out older applicants — what is known in legal terms as having a “disparate impact” — did not violate the law.

I am not a lawyer, but it appears to me that the law is convoluted enough for the 7th court of appeals to offer an alternate decision.

Android has over half a dozen settings that must be disabled before the OS actually stops tracking your location and they are spread out to different menus. This is to say nothing of built-in apps like Google maps that have their own location tracking settings which, if changed, return all of the OS settings to their default activated setting. Manufacturers can have their own location services on top of Android’s. Updating Android or firmware means having to find all of the hidden settings again to turn off any that have been reset.

Apple’s policy is in no way unique and iOS settings cannot be implicitly overridden by app settings. The global settings are app-specific. I have location settings on and disabled for every app except Apple Maps, other apps still need explicit permission when they try to use my location.

The Story of Yankeesfans.gif
Nothing that visionary or even self aware, but imagine a giant sphere, sealed with an inside vacuum and also coated on the inside with IC's connected via copper for power and basic communication but each IC also had a nodule/transceiver that could communicate with every other IC via the light spectrum, because every IC had line of sight to the others, all submerged in liquid nitrogen or some other coolant. The premise was a giant campus like a school that users would be able to carry near-dumb terminals around, like smartphones with very little power but if they needed computational power all they had to do to tap into the sphere, by being in visible range of receptacles all around the campus both inside and out. And the sphere could borrow processing power from unused devices if they were available. So light was the practical connection for users, but also used inside the sphere.
