Great write up. I loved the computation time estimates based on the target hardware. I have designed a number of CMOS chips during the last 20 years and I have always been amused that the 4 month fabrication time is quicker than the time required to do full chip simulations, assuming they were even possible. I like to refer to chip prototypes as custom real-time simulators.
I appreciate the response but it does not help at all one bit, it's a rehash of everything I've already read. In all of these 737 MAX discussions I'm one of the first to have brought up FAR 25.173(c) (although that whole section is relevant).

I do not see how software augmentation can be permitted to compensate for a deviation from FAR 26.173. That section is titled: Static longitudinal stability. Software augmentation cannot cause an airplane that lacks positive static stability to have positive static stability.

You have to understand that what you're proposing represents such a magnificent perversion of FARs, if true, that it is not conceivable to me that this is not a big f'n deal in the aviation community. It would be the elephant in the room, that somehow Boeing and the FAA permitted an airplane that in fact does not have certifiable positive static stability in one or more axis, to have been certified because of a software routine; let alone a software routine with no redundancy and is easily disabled in flight with no documentation on the consequences.

Let me put another fine point on it: I do not care if there are 50 AoA sensors and 100 independent computers on this airplane to compensate for a FAR 25.173 deficiency (or pick any of the other axis for that matter). You cannot use a goddamn computer to make an airplane statically stable when aerodynamically it is not statically stable. At least not without changing the FARs. As they are written, transport category airplanes must comply with FAR 25, and I see nothing in FAR 25 that permits computers papering over aerodynamic requirements.

Reflections are caused by changes in impedance, not direction. The impedance at a 90° corner changes because there is more area which increases capacitance.
> Right now, I'd say definitely not. She is overworked, and outside of work she is going through a lot with a crazy family situation right now. She recently told me she cried twice in her office one day, but then refused to talk to me about it because "it's too stressful to talk about." That was another issue that made me feel like I'm on the outside and her job is on the inside.

It looks like your wife is in a crisis now. It would only make sense for you to be supportive, by picking up a disproportionate part of chores or whatever, so that she can get her back on her feet. However, if this situation persists for a long time, I'd say you two should have a talk about her being in constant crisis mode (with stress, crying etc.) being bad for both of you, and what can you do to change it.

Already happening for me and a bunch of people I know. I was happy paying for 1 service a month (Netflix) and having everything there. Then the studios started pulling their content for their own streaming services. I'm not signing up for a handful of subpar streaming services just because the studios got greedy. Netflix worked and worked really well.

So I got a Usenet subscription and a couple 6TB hard drives. Setup Plex/Radarr/Sonarr/SabNZBD and grabbed all the seasons of the shows I like to watch. For future episodes it is all completely automated. I just select shows I want to watch and the system finds them as soon as they're available every week, downloads, imports into Plex, and sends me a Slack notification. Some tech challenged family members have even come to me requesting a duplicate setup, a clear sign that this fragmented nonsense is not good.

Good info. Thank you.

And in keeping with recent revelations on Google's manipulation of search results, I think they have really gone beyond the pale. I un-archived my old iPhone two days ago and went back to iOS after the James O'Keefe/Project Veritas revelations. I now cannot, in good conscience, use anything Google. I always knew about the tracking and all that because, after all, they are an ad company. I'm now in the process of moving all of my domains over to Fastmail, which I've used since 2002. I'm using Qwant, Startpage, and DDG for search. FF for browser with many about:config tweaks and several add-ons.
Nearly every single pcb designer uses square pads with 90° corners.
If that's the only option being offered, I'd take it of course, however, part of the benefit of a 4 day work week is not having to endure the commute (both a personal and environmental benefit) or prep for work, which this schedule doesn't have. What's the rationale behind proposing this schedule?

[EDIT] Also, how would this interact with flex time (if flex time is a benefit your business offers)?
I believe that's a "feature" they added a while back, auto-signing you into chrome as soon as you was logged into gmail.
Unfortunately, the answer is (basically) all of them. Combined with CloudFlare, even websites that aren't explicitly making that decision are still opting their users into both CloudFlare and Google's tracking.

I use Tor fairly regularly and it's a complete nightmare. I sometimes spend 5-15 minutes solving reCAPTCHA (since your Tor circuit changes every 10 minutes this can result in having to solve the reCAPTCHA several times).
Same here. I have a good set of headphone that are not wireless. I use an SE at work as an iPod touch (hotspot with my 7). I like being able to charge the phone and still be able to listen to stuff on my headphones. I like my AirPods at the gym and gym only.
What is most odd is I get 0.7 on iOS Safari which I use for 100% of my purposeful mobile browsing, but I get .9 on iOS Chrome, which is only used when I accidentally click on links from gmail (so very, very rarely).

- Read-Do vs. Do-Confirm
- 5--9 items
- Only killer items
- No clutter and unnecessary colors
- Wording simple and exact
- Use language of the profession
- Fit on one page
- Has to be tested in the real world
- Also don’t forget Communication checks

It is pragmatic in execution. Taking active steps to understand and manage the way your mind works, deal with reality without bias or judgment, and relieve yourself of attachments and desires that cause suffering is about as pragmatic as you can get.
I kind of imagine that the targets folks are looking for would likely be wearing body armor a significant percentage of the time as a precaution. I wonder if this always requires the chest as a target area or if you could also focus on other exposed areas like the neck to calculate this...

People feel cheated when you request them to wait, but they can get better outcomes by redialing. It violates the trust between the call center and the dialer. Leaving people to wait forever is a bad, bad, bad move.

Alternative scenario: Someone figures out the best way of dealing with LIFO is spamming requests until one gets through and you end up with several multitudes of queuing work.
I hate the v3 reCAPTCHA. On FF, I usually KNOW I am answering correctly and it says I failed. I always have to go through it multiple times. It's maddening. It often leaves me second guessing myself... is that sliver of car counted? is a crossing signal a street light? What about those streetlights way off in the distance, do I select those two in addition to the ones front and center? That RV looks sort of like a bus, should I select that too?
That has nothing to do with its topical application. Drugs that perform well via one route are often ineffective via the other. According to the study I linked, that appears to be case here.

'"White males are privileged" is a reasonable statement to make with plenty of evidence to support it.'

Good clarification. Listen -> evaluate -> act is a solid approach.
Firefox mobile w/ ublock: 0.9
An interesting variation of this idea: a crowdsourced website that performs an incredibly vigorous and intellectually honest evaluations of discrete situations, encompassing as many possible perspectives as possible.

Resulting in something like:

"From perspective <x>, this group could be considered unfairly disadvantaged by <quantity X>."

"From perspective <y> this group could be considered unfairly disadvantaged by <quantity Y>."

"Unfairly", and all other terms, would require very strict definitions.

The crowd sourcing part would come in by people pointing out logical flaws or missing perspectives.

I wonder if this might improve people's ability to more "correctly" evaluate reality, as well as make the boundary between matters of fact and matters of opinion more obvious, rather than all opinions being little more than a mishmash of subconscious heuristics based on personal experiences and a partial understanding (likely unbalanced) of the relevant facts.

I would consider this an attempt at finally applying the same academic rigor (that has yielded such success) in the hard sciences to the far more complicated soft sciences. Does anyone know of any undertaking that does this in any way?

Frackers Go Electric as Negative Gas Prices Spur Switch
I’m still using my trusty 6s. About a month ago I took my phone in to get the battery replaced. Curious, I asked the Apple rep about a 10s and after some hemming and getting $200 trade-in for my 6s I made the switch.

I regretted it immediately. I was stuck in the Apple store for over an hour trying to setup the new phone while it slowly downloaded an update before I could even finish getting it into a minimal user state, meaning I couldn’t go home and continue setting up later.

The faceid was interesting at first but really annoying pretty quickly. TouchID is really useful since I don’t always want to have to look into the phone.

ApplePay as a convenience is ruined by the lack of a TouchID sensor. With FaceId you have to look at the phone and then double press a button on the side of the phone. My brain boggled at how they’ve ruined the entire ApplePay usage process.

Final straw was the lack of a headphone jack, which has been my primary holdout reason. Turns out, the dongle is just annoying.

Combined with my immediate experience and second thoughts, I went back into the store (since I was still stuck there setting up the new one) and got my old phone back and paid the difference. It was a bit unusual for the Apple staff but they were super nice and got my 6s back.

At that point I left with both phones since I wanted to try the new one over night to give it a shot. Next day, I had enough and went back to the store and returned the 10.

I’m still quite happy with my 6s and honestly may have to consider an Android phone when this one dies.

I’ve been a loyal Apple customer for over 30 years and have just been disappointed with them for the choices they’ve been making in the last few years. At work I returned the 2018 MacBook Pro and got a 2015 one because of the terrible oversized trackpad and useless Touch Bar.

I hope they change some things soon.

Google login does this but a password manager autocomplete seems to complete the whole process in a single stage. Dunno if it's cause of a hidden password field or something

If they looked for identifying information in cookies or browsing history people would be even more upset and spammers would just simulate it with browser bots... which is why I believe it takes a black box approach to each detection regardless of external state. Besides obviously the cookies set within the iframe of the recatcha.

This of course doesn’t help explain why Firefox is so heavily targeted by what’s supposed to be a neutral utility like Google Analytics...

One reason that Perl regex is relatively slow is because it isn't actually regular: it can't be implemented using DFAs or NFAs.
I understand, but no one has referenced the less-shiny, real world, imperfect experience in this thread; they have quoted the shiny and superficial Top Gear shtick, which I must admit was the first time I started to develop a considerable distaste for that show. Their attempt has introduced an unfair halo effect for Toyota that has deflected from their more relevant and modern day failings.
It can be made to work with password managers by using a hidden password field, they just.. didn’t.

I disagree. Adding Google's captcha is a 15 minute exercise. If i remember correctly, you copy/paste a snippet then add a callback in your own code. Whereas rolling your own captcha implementation would take much longer and be worse.

Yes, it would be nice if HN stopped just having a link to another site as the article, and instead had a little abstract of what you're going to see there. In the case of links to (un)popular sites (is there a version of 'infamous' for stuff that's popular but sucks?) enough text so that it's possible to search for alternative/original sources would be just swell.
I was under the impression sites using Google Analytics were included as a reCaptcha signal.

No. But then if you need a few hundred boards off a single clock I assume your phased array radar budget can handle the extra engineering.
Gas is the big elephant in the room as it's about 40% of the total, and a chunk of coal was replaced by gas thanks to rush to gas some years back. I think about 5 or 10% of gas is landfill recovery - small, but surprisingly noticeable. More than I would have guessed, anyway. The rest is a mix of other sources including hydro, pumped hydro, and the interconnects.

Biomass seems to get included whenever a piece, or Downing Street press release, wants to tout UK generation at over 50% renewable. Separate when it wants to point out that our biomass sources aren't ideal, or the real breakdown of progress. :)

This is a rather nice page that shows the decline of coal in recent years, how long since last used, with real time updates: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2019/...

Drax capacity is 2/3 biomass, 1/3 coal, but coal now seems to be used as generation of last resort to meet demand when other sources can't. Not sure how or why the subsidies are paid. Maybe some is to keep plants run ready but idle - but that's a complete guess, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find it's just free money for no good reason. I do know Drax got a subsidy to convert that last third to biomass when the total coal phase out comes...

It's all rather embarrassing for the UK. There is clear creative accounting. Progress since the coalition in 2010 has been more via (reluctantly) abiding EU targets and industry building renewables for simple economics than UK policy. The cross-party committees on climate change have been on the ball but that's not policy. Government tries to take full credit for all of course, but in truth is holding progress back.

Alexander had his Hephaestion. Look how far he went.
I don't know of any service that does this, but you could write a process that could analyze every line in a given repo. Weight for each line of code would have to be balanced against the number of lines previously written by that developer, as well as the date of the commit (more-recent commits weigh more) and perhaps the TFS work item associated with the changeset, and other details of the TFS work item/bug.

IMO, it seems a lot more work than the value can provide - a simple answer from one of the devs suffices, it's what the process has been for me.

True, but what if the pilot is having an emergency, or the copilot has decided to commit suicide while the pilot went to the bathroom? There should be a way of getting the door open quickly if enough people authorize it (perhaps at least 2 crewmembers).
I do this stuff manually in autohotkey for flows like tabbing to the MFA app window, clicking the right place to copy the code, tabbing back into the app I'm trying to log into, clicking the right space to get to the input fields, and entering the username/password/mfa. As well as for logging onto a website where I need to enter the username, hit tab, hit enter to select "log in with password", then enter the password and hit enter again. Saves a lot of time/dealing with typos in the unnecessarily complex passwords these systems require and it's cool to watch it do it.
This is nice. Exactly what I am looking for!
I agree that people should be able to use their actual identities and receive the same treatment, but it's worth noting that in the programming world most people create accounts that either simply don't show their identities or obscure them. That does seem to be changing rapidly, though, and I wonder why.

I mean, right now in this very thread the 3 commenters are "0815test", "detaro" and "pbhjpbhj". For most people I've worked with on OSS, I couldn't tell any personal details if I tried.
