Sure. If I'm reading, I ask myself what I expect the author to suggest or I ask myself specific questions I think the chapter could answer. Then, as I read, I update my priors.

If I'm taking notes, I'll do it by hand (which leads to better retention of information than typing), and I do it in cursive (which involves deeper processing than printing). In the past I tried taking notes in another language, but that was too slow.

If I'm learning a language, I'll try to spend more time listening to audio instead of watching video. When working on pronunciation, instead of just trying to say a phrase "correctly", I'll try to say it like a specific actor in the way they would with the same pacing and the same facial expressions.

If I'm learning a web framework, I'll take breaks from reading guides or docs to rewrite something I've previously written in an older framework. Then I'll go back to the guide.
If these fees are so consumer-unfriendly (I agree they are deceptive!), instead of getting angry at the chains, why don’t the major aggregators (Expedia, HotelTonight) just decide to roll resort fees into the displayed nightly rates?
We tried it for many centuries and are still paying the price for that approach today.

Can you elaborate on this? I'm not aware of centuries-old landfills clogging up the landscape and (to any meaningful extent) impinging upon the availability of land.
"8.2 Countering malleability gadget attacks" in the efail paper says: "The S/MIME standard does not provide any effective security measures countering our attacks" and "Although CMS defines an AuthenticatedData
type [29], S/MIME’s current specification does not."

If the S/MIME spec does not enforce (and it seems it doesn't even allow, not just does't enforce) Authenticated Encryption, then it violates "the cryptographic doom principle" and should not be used for anything except CTFs and cryptopals exercises.
Thanks for the explanation. I was confused about the meaning of "repeat". It's a missed opportunity that ODS doesn't store formulas as ASTs in the first place.
Obviously redundancy is better. But some allowance can be made for pilot skill to work around a problem. For example, a loss of airspeed at cruise should not cause a disaster. The pilot can select a know good thrust/pitch setting and use other data (such as engine performance). There will always be this kind of failure that needs a workaround rather than complete redundancy. The risk is possibly in how pilots interpret and respond to that information.
How are you going to "remove the tipping option"? Are you going to chase me down the sidewalk to return the cash I leave on the table for your employee? You'll look awfully foolish doing that, and I don't think your employee will thank you.

Well, assuming the probe is even going to carry an imager of any sort. Not much to photograph at 1000 AU. Anyway, 1000 AU equals about 138 light-hours, or 5.7 light-days, so that's how long sunlight would have taken to reach the probe at that distance.
I'm trying to understand why there's f(a) and f(b), why is b being subtracted from x, why it's divided by a-b, why there's a similar thing for f(a), why the two are being added, why the zero values are important, and what the whole thing actually means.

MCAS uses AoA (angle of attack) not Pitot Tube.

There are two AoA on the 737 Max, MCAS only used a single one (but switched every time you started the aircraft). Reporting in Seattle Times suggests that it was originally designed to use one AoA combined with a G-Sensor[0]. The two in combination would trigger MCAS to make a small adjustment.

The problem is that the aircraft's actual design was failing to be "common type" compatible (i.e. no re-training). So they kept on expanding MCAS's usage to compensate. For low speed the G-Sensor didn't work, so was removed, and flight authority was increased.

More from the article:

> This original version of MCAS, according to two people familiar with the details, was activated only if two distinct sensors indicated such an extreme maneuver: a high angle of attack and a high G-force. [...] About a third of the way through flight testing in 2016, as first reported by The Seattle Times in March, Boeing made substantial changes to MCAS.

> The flight-test pilots had found another problem: The same lack of smooth stick forces was also occurring in certain low-speed flight conditions. To cover that issue too, engineers decided to expand the scope and power of MCAS.

> Because at low speed a control surface must be deflected more to have the same effect, engineers increased the power of the system at low speed from 0.6 degrees of stabilizer nose-down deflection to 2.5 degrees each time it was activated.

> On the stabilizer, maximum nose down is about 4.7 degrees away from level flight. So with the new increased authority to move the stabilizer, just a couple of iterations of the system could push it to that maximum.

> Because there are no excessive G-forces at low speed, the engineers removed the G-force factor as a trigger. But that meant MCAS was now activated by a single angle-of-attack sensor.

> One of the people familiar with MCAS’s evolution said the system designers didn’t see any need to add an additional sensor or redundancy because the hazard assessment had determined that an MCAS failure in normal flight would only qualify in the “major” category for which the single sensor is the norm.

We really shot ourselves in the foot with this whole pointless "recycling paper and plastic" thing huh?

The convenience of throwing something away is a triumph of modern civilization and one of life's little pleasures, and we had to ruin it by acting like it's wrong when it's actually not.

When I walk up to some wastebins holding a papery-plasticky object with a bit of food stuck to it, my heart sinks. Now I have to think about classifying it into one of 2-4 inconsistent-looking bins, and I feel guilty that the classification isn't perfect - which would be okay if it was for a good cause, but the whole concept of recycling paper and plastic was a net-negative to begin with.

Recycling is one of those things that feels like it solves a problem but doesn't at all - like hybrid cars, US-style airport security, or donating cans of food.
> The whole shady passing-fees-to-willing-consumers thing is just business.

Advertising one price and charging another looks like textbook fraud to me...

Edit: I guess we could take free market ideas to their limit, and allow companies to differentiate themselves on whether they conduct fraud and other crimes as well.
>> My point was that reacting to noxious stimuli does not a priori require the conscious experience of pain (which includes a suffering component).

Like Retric says, this leaves open the question of how noxious stimuli (thanks) lead to avoidance behaviours, if they are not unpleasant.

My explanation is that the unpleasant sensation of pain makes the animal try and avoid the stimulus that causes the pain. What is the alternative?

Edit: also, why most animals but not insects? What is different about insects?
You've basically described Qubes OS, with K8S a less OS-y choice than Xen.
Some machine-level implementation convenience is the smallest advantage. Zero based would be better even if it cost more at the machine level. Of course it doesn't cost more because the advantages are relevant at the implementation level also.

> For example February is the 2. month, so if you have a list of the names of the months, you would expect month_names[2] to be February.

That's not 1-based indexing being good; that's conforming to (or reflecting) an externally imposed 1-based system that is itself questionable.

Should the seconds of a minute go from 1 to 60 instead of 0 to 59? Dates and times are full of poorly chosen conventions, including ones that don't match people's intuitions. For instance, many people celebrated the new millennium in January 2000. People also want decades to go from 0 to 9; the "eighties" are years matching the pattern 198?, not 1981 to 1990. Yet the 20th century goes from 1901 to 2000.

In many situations when 1 based numbering is used, it's just symbols in a sequence. It could be replaced by Gray code, greek letters, or Japanese kana in i-ro-ha order.

When the arithmetic properties of the index matter to the point that it's involved in multiplication (not merely successor/predecessor relationship), it is advantageous to make the origin zero.

If month_name[1] must be "January", I'm okay with wasting month_name[0]; that's better than supporting a one-based array (let alone making that default).

> As for music theory, a third is called so because it spans three half-notes.

No it doesn't; in that very same music theory, a "major second" interval is also known as "one step" or a "whole step"! A third is "two steps"; that's what it spans. (I don't know what you mean by "half-notes"; I sense confusion.) This nonsense was devised centuries ago by innumerates, just like various aspects of the calendar.
That would need regulation - customers will prefer the cheaper price in general, so nobody wants to inflate the price shown beyond requirements.
That's like saying if a doorbell is made of atoms, we've made atoms a useless term. A doorbell either has consciousness or it does not have consciousness. (I might agree that if a doorbell has agency we might be making agency a useless term.)

Consciousness as we understand it is defined in an ineffable way. We have individual experiences which we call 'consciousness' which roughly coincides with our subjective experience. As it stands, the term is fairly useless. Where we use it, we generally make the assumption that it applies or doesn't apply; almost exclusively in a self-serving way.

If a doorbell is conscious and we can prove it, we will necessarily have a much greater understanding of consciousness and will have refined the term consciousness, making it more useful.

Right. I think therefore the thing is, to be conscious about the purpose of those games, ask questions about what kind of value they bring to their players and the society at large.

The MCAS subsystem in the active Flight Control Computer was only taking input from the AoA vane on that FCC's side of the plane, and not cross-checking with the other instrument.

The triple redundancy only comes into play with systems with a severity of failure rated as catastrophic.

The MCAS system as originally designed was rated as merely hazardous. Which doesn't require redundancy. The decision to feed off of only one vane was intentional to avoid having to have pilots undergo level D simulator training as part of their type certification. Multi-sensor systems generally require Level D training.

See the 737 MAX Expose by 60 minutes, where the whistleblower testimony is first presented.
Better not give consumers the choice though, just in case.
The main site[0] has some more information.

It's still considered alpha-quality, but claims to be rapidly evolving. From the screenshots, it looks like it's already fairly capable. I wonder if it could be a useful alternative to Kdenlive.

> so you need to address the argument that the public is given: that illicit drugs are so dangerous that the enforcement is worth it

Some people see the problem in the fact that Americans are and have historically been very comfortable benefiting from injustice and from things that are enforced 'on other people'.

Middle class young hippies were shocked when the system showed its teeth and banned a substance so that the movement could be targeted by the repression systems put in place... while that was the norm done toward people in bad neighborhoods.

Some people think the the answer is to get people to be more self aware of their position, especially hypocritical positions based on emotion that hurt others, and hopefully be more empathetic.
I can understand your frustration about Rich's development process. But clojure is most definitely not closed source. The source is right here: https://github.com/clojure/clojure and the license that allows you to copy, modify, and redistribute that source is here: https://opensource.org/licenses/eclipse-1.0.php

Rich has a fairly strict development approach and wants to personally review and approve all changes to the core. There are complaints about that process, and that's fair. But as far as I have seen, most large, successful projects have similar personalities leading them (Stallman, Linus, Larry Wall, Guido...).

Finally, I should add -- if what you are looking for is software freedom... then you should absolutely consider using a Lisp like clojure. Lisp's give you the power to control your language through macros and non-core libraries. Unlike other languages, you do not need a core development team to make language changes for you. Perhaps this is why clojure is so powerful... because the core process issues you have heard about are not actually that important, and in fact the language itself enables substantially more software freedom than perhaps you are giving it credit for.

As someone with extreme dyslexia and dyscalculia, this is fascinating. Because numbers and words are images for me, my recall and then contextual association of them is very slow, building different frameworks to understand them is super important and I wish there was a greater emphasis on different memory styles in learning outside of rote.

Right. Split up by IP/subdomain if possible, preferably within one provider.

That said, you may be surprised by the number of large organizations that have a dozen or more services that send mail on their behalf, for various different purposes... it's not optimal, from a deliverability perspective, but it's also not usually going to cause deliverability issues by itself as long as everything else is in order.

Thank you for that insight, more people are quick to `outrage` against a person, fewer speak up for them based upon personal experience and for somebody to make such a positive impression that others will speak good of them. It's nice to see.

So not irrelevant, knowing the person and motives behind the words (if any), effects the words and with that, most positive and relevant I'd say. Thank you.
Accounting for Macro-Finance Trends [Noah Smith on Twitter: “Fairly Standard
But I'm not "poo-pooing" Kleitman's book! It's just that after reading the beginning I did not find it very engaging personally. It starts with numbers, and properties of real and complex numbers. The definite integral is not defined until half the book (while it is a simpler concept than the derivative). I prefer to start with calculus, and the relationship between integrals and derivatives right away. And then, much later, when you need some crucial property of real numbers, introduce it as required. You can do a great deal of calculus without needing to know the definition of real number!
I’ve wanted to make a keyboard, but I’m not sure it’s possible to make something materially better than the kinesis advantage. I switched to it 10 years after my hands would feel numb after typing.

I think I might have some problem other people don’t, but even for normal people, I find it hard to believe that a kinesis wouldn’t be better for them as well.

I’ve seen some split diy keyboards, but none of them have the great concave wells kinesis does. Also the kinesis has macros, key remapping, and easy switching between Dvorak and QWERTY. Being able to type your password with one button is super cool!

The screenshots look nice. This is a segment Open Source has traditionally lagged so it’s very cool to see new entrants.

I was really excited a while back for the OpenShot rewrite, but one thing I never liked was the new (iirc similar to the old) UI. I can’t exactly pinpoint what, it just had more of a “Windows Movie Maker” style UI, and it wasn’t my cup of tea. This UI, though, looks pretty nice imo.

I’m curious to dig in and see where this project is headed. Would be amazing to see an opensource NLE working towards hardware acceleration and supporting huge resolutions well, but I’ll also take an open source mid-tier video editing tool with a nice UI and be perfectly content.

From what I can tell, OEMs didn’t have to pay for Google apps or Google Play Services but they had to place Google apps prominently and had to have Google search as the default search engine. It was also an all or nothing thing.

That changed recently because of an EU consent decree. At least in the EU. Now OEMs have to pay up to $40 per device.
I find all of the negativity related to this very strange. Microsoft Word on Android is incredible (and the other MS Office apps for that matter). The ability to not only view, but even edit documents on my phone has come in handy many times. Google Docs is good for what it is, but it is not 100% compatible, and round tripping documents that contain complex formatting is risky.

Overall Microsoft's Android apps are of very high quality. I'm pretty certain that these 1 billion installs are not just bundling deals. The vast majority of businesses and governments rely upon Microsoft Office, so is it really that surprising that employees of these organizations would install these apps on their mobile devices?
If you're more interested in the “free” than the “open source” part, Davinci Resolve has a free version which seems very powerful, and Avid offer Media Composer First. I think the main restriction vs. the paid versions is maximum output resolution. I don't know a great deal about video editing but have used Davinci for a few tasks and once I got my head round the basics, was quite impressed.

Just thought I’d mention these as they might be useful alternatives for some people as they are widely used in the industry so there is a lot of tutorial content etc. available. This looks really cool and is an impressive open source project though!

Babies are very bad at remembering things. It might be that remembering isn't a big factor, but it's a pretty obvious basis for the idea.

So you're not only going to associate everyone that disagrees with you with racism, you're going to say it's "evidence-free" that babies are different from the default human?
