In the lighter end of GA there are plenty of aircraft which have gone from having initially poor safety records to having some fo the best in the fleet.

The Mitsubishi MU2 is a good example, it had some interesting control quirks due to having a tiny wing for its weight. After a number of reviews a training package was designed which almost completely solved its safety problems.

The Cirrus SR22 was also in a similar category, despite having a whole-frame parachute. Their problems were solved by insurance companies demanding more training and their owners group pushing the mantra "if in doubt, pull the chute".

I'm sure there are better examples from the commercial air transport end of the scale but I knew those from the top of my head.
War does not happen because of any cold, calculating, sinister motive, it happens because of (fear of) boredom. Peace is boring, war is exciting, and gives people a sense of purpose (do you know that suicide rate is way down during war time?) and a chance to be part of something eternal. This is why history is to such a large extent the history of wars. Because that's what capture our morbid interest. This is why war, conflict and violence dominate movies and TVs and fiction.

The effect of boredom on a large scale in history is often underestimated. It is the main cause of war, revolutions, electoral surprises, etc.

> Ikea's site has all that product information and more for most of the products in the search listing - but you do have to hover over things to see it.

My issue is with completeness. Not every product has the basic information I'd need to decide whether to purchase it or not. Which means I don't purchase those products. Which means lost revenue for Ikea.
You'd still expect recycled material to be used in preference to virgin materials for cheap products, if recycled material is actually more efficient.
Create a list of the people who know the most on the topic and what they are saying / what position they have. For ex. If I want to learn about what Lidar is I start with What does Elon Musk think and then try to find all the people who have the opposing view and learn what they think about the topic. Once you have two or three parties on both sides of a topic you can start to formulate your own next-step questions /research topics.

I did a search earlier today on Google for "north face glacier" - turns out that the company North Face has a Glacier product so as far as I can tell that's all the search results contain.

Searching for "north face glaciation" did help as the first page of search results did have one entry on the topic I was actually searching on!

Maybe they should have a "I'm not buying anything" flag!

Google's claim that the algorithm is generic is demonstrably false. Type in "hillary clinton e" and there is no suggestion for "email", type "donald trump e" and email is the first suggestion. Given the news content that we know is out there, that can only be the result of adjusting the results for clinton specifically (if anything, we would not expect "email" to be autocompleted for trump). This is not research that tells us what exactly Google is doing, but you cannot deny the example.

Presumably because people are less likely to think a PIN "secure" and "unguessable", and ironically are more likely to protect it (and actually remember it without writing it down). In general, people are really bad at passwords and password security. Microsoft here are taking the stance that the only good password is no password at all. There is a (weird) psychological difference between passwords and PINs.

(Also, it doesn't have to be a PIN, it can be biometrics if you prefer.)
I am fascinated by the steps that lead to such decisions. When someone initially mentioned this idea, no one in the chain objected? Like, no one took 10 seconds to pause and say, this is not right? If they did, they got overruled?

Most of those products don't make money by themselves, they exist to keep people in the ecosystem, providing more data for the real moneymaker.

The biggest blow to Google wouldn't be to break it up into lots of small companies, you just need to separate the advertising business from everything else and you've effectively neutered the monopoly. Google's genius isn't in hiring the best engineers to providing a ton of services, it's in convincing people that they're not an advertising company, and that is where Facebook has been falling out of favor recently (I'm guessing that's why they bought Instagram, and why Google bought YouTube).
I kinda hope all of the Legos exist and just need to be snapped together in the right way!

When you install or activate Windows 10 there is a step during the process where they ask you what of the telemetry to enable or disable. Everyone, outside corp environments where the corp decides, goes through this process. The settings are available to change later, oo.

About the Heckblende. Yes, there's actualy a term for when cars have a light bar on the back covering the entire width of the car.

Interestingly enough, the article doesn't even mention one of the most prominent uses of Heckblende: almost every single Toyota introduced in the early '90s had one. Americans who were around then will remember the Camry and the Corolla having one, but if you look at the wide variety of JDM Toyotas from that era... they all had Heckblende.

Apple's suite of "office"-type apps is wonderfully lightweight, yet pretty full-featured. Reminds me of using some of the lighter Open/Libreoffice alternatives on Linux, like Gnumeric, except, you know, nicer looking, easier to use, more featureful, less buggy, and with much better templates and such.

Apple's supporting apps generally are a big part of what keeps me on the platform. They're consistently more resource (including battery) friendly than any alternative with a comparable featureset, rarely or never crash[0], work seamlessly with my mobile devices, et c. Hell Preview alone would be hard to give up. What a gem of a program.

Maybe, but having previously worked for a company that makes physical money, it's a healthy business they are in. There is more cash being printed now than ever before, the second derivative on the the amount of cash over time (d2Cash/dt2) is definitely positive.

My personal opinion is that there will always be a need for physical analog money. The power goes out in Puerto Rico (hurricanes) and Manhattan (ConEdison) sometimes (just recapping the stories covered on NPR during my drive to work this morning).

What about Project Veritas? People claim the statements by Google employed were taken out of context, but I've gone back, listened to them, looked at the videos, and it's hard to think in what context anything they said is acceptable.

Even if the specific engineers and managers in the video clips don't have the level of authority to make the changes they're talking about, it's still chilling that their attitude could be common in Google and they see political ends of their great power as being some kind of great responsibility; instead of respecting the idea of equal/diversity of opinion.

Devil's advocate:

Some argue (not necessarily me) that Google isn't necessarily purely optimizing for quality using that 20 year click-and-search log, that they're accepting some inefficiency by biasing for political (left-leaning) gain or "censorship by obscurity". If competitors could more easily build alternatives, which, say, didn't have those biases, then arguably that'd put more competitive pressure on Google to not use their monopoly for bad stuff.

I think this generally speaks to modern computer illiteracy: Kids today know almost nothing about how a PC functions basically. Using a computer effectively today is as essential as knowing how to do basic arithmetic, if not more so. There's no reason kids can't be PC experts by grade 6 or 7 or so.

Many of the major services also allow the conference do dial out to a regular phone number. Depending on the relationship with the client, it might be possible to just ask them to dial out to your phone.

On a normal day, across all of Chicago (large place) and all the cars owned in Chicago (lots of cars) they would have an average of ~62 car thefts per day.

Then one day Car2Go, a single car sharing service has 75 vehicles stolen in one day. That is 110% the amount of the entire city of Chicago from a single company with a fleet of a few hundred cars.

Keep in mind that Chicago likely still lost their average number of cars that day, but the car2go thefts more than doubled the number of thefts for the entire city.

That sounds abnormal to me.

The satellites themselves are most likely running some sort of proprietary or semi-proprietary RTOS for their C&DH computer (eg: VxWorks, QNX, Integrity, RTEMS...).

However, it's more than likely that there's a bunch of Windows machines on the ground segment side of the operation, since a lot of satellite fleet management software is Windows based.
Humans are naturally tribal, and tribes come with hierarchy. Human society developed hierarchical structures everywhere because with the way we evolved, hierarchy is the most effective method of organizing.

Thankfully I live in Seattle, so there are quite a few Vietnamese people. Generally once you get to know them they'll open up about how the war was (to repeat) a disgrace waged for no valid reasons, accomplishing nothing except ending the lives of millions of Vietnamese people.

Of course, if some random American comes up to them demanding their thoughts on the Vietnam war they might have a different answer.

You should consider re-examining your belief in domino theory.
`map` is strictly less "powerful" than a "loop", so I'd argue that's misleading.

Which I'd also argue is a good thing. Using the least powerful construct available both communicates to future readers of the code, and allows higher level optimization (eg, `map` is trivially parallelizable, an arbitrary loop is not)
In your case you could state that you strongly discourage the usage of that as it call quality is so poor that it is know to strongly negativity effect client outcomes.

Aluminium is the prime example of a material that's really worth recycling.

Yes, I'm not in land surveying myself, but my company builds georeferenced 3D models of buildings at high resolution and sub cm precision, and we never rely solely on GPS information. There's too many things that can go wrong with GPS to reliably fly a drone around a building for example.

Regardless of how big the dataset is, the image recognition algorithm is bound to get confused by the large differences in colour that exposure and sensitivity results in. It will likely look for the overall gray-to-blue gradient and estimate results from that; on the gray end of the things alone, the camera settings make a very, very big difference. You can't really tell the algorithm to ignore these and only determine the level of 'cloudiness.'

Another issue with this dataset is the overlay changing over time in text content, font, and colour. The algorithm might overfit and think e.g. yellow font presence means higher output simply because the output was higher during that period. You could strip away the text, but then you're introducing potential errors into the dataset yourself.

This often happens with articles that have really snappy title.

All animals in the universe are “hostage to threats from bad actors.” Most fights in the animal kingdom are avoided by a simple size comparison between two animals, after which the smaller animal submits.

This takes into consideration the benefits of more users, but not the cost. If the cost of adding one more test user is sufficiently small, it can be optimal to test with lots of them.
