Your numbers are not quite right.

> jet fuel's USEFUL specific energy is more like 10-15MJ/kg due to needing to be burned.

New turbofans have efficiencies close to 50%, so it's more like 20 MJ/kg. Also, you need to take into account the prop efficiency for electric planes. Beyond Mach 0.5, the efficiency degrades very rapidly. So it's not just electric motor vs jet engine.

> more glider-like L/D of 25-35 (the best gliders can do 70).

This is not limited to electric planes. The reason no one has done it so far is the aeroelastic divergence.

> improved modern materials means you can just have most of your take-off mass be battery, compensating for the poorer specific energy

Again, this can be done for any aircraft, not just the electric ones.

Do you really believe there is a market for 1200km hops at Mach 0.5. We already have ATR 72 and Bombardier Q400. Why no one is using them for long haul flight?

Yes, but NTP as a time service (client/server mode) is safe. A request has a single response and their lengths are symmetric (that's actually a requirement for accurate synchronization). The problem with amplification is in the optional monitoring/control modes of the protocol (modes 6 and 7 as used by the ntpq and ntpdc utilities respectively), which should be disabled on public servers. Unfortunately, there are still some old misconfigured servers causing problems for a lot of people.

In PTP the problem is in the synchronization protocol itself. A master in the unicast mode is basically a programmable packet generator. It sends sync/announce messages at a rate and duration specified by its slaves, and the address can be spoofed.

The fact that critics, a very insular group of people, liked the movie doesn't mean it is good or will please the public at large. Booksmart is a prime example of the « Get woke, go broke » adage.

I think we should consider whether the American movie theater experience is really the best way to share video entertainment in a communal fashion.

One anecdote to consider:

Back in 2005 I went to India on business. While there in the city of Hyderabad, a local contractor that I was working with invited me to visit the village where his grandparents lived. We went to the village which was several hours drive from Hyderabad (something like 8 hours or more ... I don't remember exactly). The village was a completely different environment than Hyderabad ... very humid, but green and beautiful. And very few people spoke English there (which is relevant as you'll see).

In that village there was a kind of communal video hall run by a local entrepreneur. He basically had computer projector (I think it was 720p resolution ... nothing fancy) connected to a computer and a rudimentary PA system.

Starting at around 6pm or so, after people in the village had had their supper, he would start showing films. It was whatever he felt like showing or whatever people paid him to play.

My host was kind of a big man in the village, since he was from the city, and much more well to do. He was shown a lot of deference. My host asked the theater owner to play a movie that I would enjoy ... and the theater owner decided to play Rambo.

It was very clear that everyone in the village had seen the movie before ... probably many times before.

People talked with each other during the film. Some of the men were smoking (which I wasn't a fan of). And it was hot and humid.

But god damn if it wasn't the best action movie screening of my life. Everyone was commenting and cheering for Stallone ... and nobody knew what the hell Stallone was saying directly ... but there was kind of a really bad audio running in Telugu on top of the English audio ... which I can only assume was a local translation recorded over the original audio.

At one point Stallone has a bow and arrow and shoots a guy with a grenade tip ... and the guy explodes. Not something I'd want my kid to see ... but there were kids from 5 to 15 cheering and hollering like he'd scored a goal in a tournament or something.

Really an enjoyable experience.

Maybe we just need smaller, nearer, more locally tailored theaters.

Not only that: you burn the fuel, so for the second half of the flight you only need to carry half the fuel. But you have to carry the full battery mass (modulo E=mc^2) all the way.

Yes, planes for ages jettisoned any fuel before landing because of the weight. Keeping the landing weight down to a minimum does wonders for the airframe design.

Nowadays they just do a better job of loading only the fuel necessary, and circle pointlessly to burn excess fuel before landing. It's still an issue, they just don't dump the fuel on the neighborhood below like they used to.

No, they didn't make it clear that it would do anything to ad-blocking extensions, only in their current for would they have to make changes which are actually supposed to speed up adblocking. Poor developers had to make some changes because Chromium wanted to improve things. They didn't backtrack due to the outrage either. They are still moving forward with the improvements and Firefox crowd is still lying about what is actually going on. Guess they are looking for new users to exploit with their 0days.
If you're gathering data through multiple sensors data from one end, and pushing it out to network from another, the performance of the 4-core ARM CPU should be the least of your concerns. You are never going to reach 100% CPU utilization unless you're doing something very wrong. Contemporary sensor protocols are slow, to say the least. Same for the network end. You'll saturate atleast one of those two ends before running out of CPU power. Use Python. It is easy, fast and has a ton of library support for numerical analysis. Stop buying into the hype please.

> But as a society our measures are mostly external. If someone succeeds, that's all we see.

The notion of external measures or what is readily apparent, is also why 'luck' feels like a simplistic and incorrect explanation for success, in my experience. A lot of people who are successful create their own luck (or rather, increase the probability for their personal successes). They set themselves up to be successful despite variability and randomness, and despite differences in natural talent relative to competition. They focus on the right things, they push themselves harder than others think possible, etc.

Put another way, they make trade-offs in life that result in success. As to what they give up...it depends on the person and their circumstances, but very often they are giving up peace of mind, free time (leisure), relationships, happiness, and sometimes even their health. But delayed gratification and long-term focus (long-term trading-off) seem like key elements to success. I don't view that as just luck.

The anecdote of the fund manager who was less successful in China from the article stood out to me as logically flawed. This later failure in a different time, a different market, does not mean the person's prior success was due to mere luck. The world has changed a lot (for example advent of the Internet and digital trading) and China is also a very different place. It could be simply that this person was no longer in a position where they've made the right trade-offs to be relatively competitive in the new set of circumstances years after their "prime". And it might even be a conscious choice - it is easier to make some trade-offs when you are younger (better health, more energy, lack of familial obligations, etc.) and as we get older and our priorities change, we're less likely to make some of those trade-offs (not always, but typically). But I don't think it makes logical sense to cast prior success as luck due to later failure - the causality there is spurious, at best.
