B, C, and D for small airliners are Airbus, Bombardier and Comac - EU, Canada and China. Yes, there will be some substitution, but it'll still hurt the US economy to lose those sales overseas.

EDIT: Also, "0.6% Of GDP growth" typically means 0.6% as relative to total GDP, not to whatever growth was expected to be. Yes it's stupid, but it's also the standard nomenclature.

And the direct quote from the article is "By one estimate, a production halt would shave about six-tenths of a percent off the gross domestic product growth rate, the financial equivalent of a prolonged government shutdown or a significant natural disaster", which clearly intends for 0.6% to be relative to GDP and not GDP growth.
I could argue that even people who genuinely feel emotions have, unconsciously, learned to feel them through their interactions with other people. Who can prove to me that emotions are something fundamental to humans and not acquired through culture? In a sense, everyone may as well be faking it.
If you have a clear and convincing argument about the point that you find believable, you'll be able to communicate it.
Most recent story of Tesla's profitability was built around Musk's manufacturing innovations, that will make Model 3 much cheaper to produce. Experts disagreed, got fired, and alien dreadnought continued. It was such a huge failure, that to this day, portion of Model 3 production is happening a tent. With forklifts, leaking roof and space-heaters.

Tesla now has new profitability story - Musk's innovations in FSD, will make them a lot of money, and make cars appreciating assets. Experts disagreed, got fired, and FSD continues. Wonder how will that end?
Tesla CTO JB Straubel Is Stepping Down
> To reiterate the price of blueberries isn't based on their costs, it is based on how much people are willing to pay for blueberries.

The price of everything is based on its cost, in the sense that nobody is going to lose money in order to get them to you.

> You do realize that 75% of US workers make more than $15/hr right? And that the bottom 25% makes the smallest impact on the economy due to making the least right?

It's the group of people right above minimum wage who are harmed the most, because they won't see any proportional raise. Of course, even if they did, it'd just amplify the negative effects. If we did have some proportional wage adjustment mechanism, it'd almost be better to just scale it _down_, instead.... but a steady state at the very least allows natural price discovery to have a chance to adjust everything back to natural levels.

The continual raising of the minimum wage (among other factors, of course) contributes to distortions in pricing that will eventually resolve themselves, but once they do, advocates will get right back out there and ask for $20, $25...

> So if we halved the minimum wage my cost of living will go down by half?

Obviously not, it's a nonlinear relationship, but just because it's not a simple or well defined function presently doesn't mean the relationship is not there. It's absolutely the case that some things would get cheaper for you, yes. Probably not luxury goods, but a lot of your staples would - and these are things that all of us need.

> You have put zero effort to show that this is a true statement yet you keep repeating it.

I've put in a lot of effort commenting all around this thread. No need to result to this kind of rhetoric. If you don't understand price discovery, that's fine; it's a natural phenomenon that happens whether you do anything or even believe in it or not.
The population has more than doubled since while overall efficiency has increased. This has nothing to do with unions or otherwise. It´s just a matter of the pie not growing as fast as the population is in some sense.

Also, society looked very different back then. Women´s work force participation alone renders any comparison between the two ages rather difficult to make to begin with so assuming right off the bat that the 1950s were better (while disregarding all the advancements in medicine, etc.) is unfair at best.

note: I understand that you said "possibly" but this is a claim that I hear rather often and I don´t know how people can actually make that comparison so easily.
> I went through Stanford CS at the peak of the 1980s expert system boom. Back then, people there were way too much into asking questions like this. "Does a rock have intentions?" was an exam question. The "AI winter" followed. AI finally got unstuck 20 years later when the machine learning people and their "shut up and calculate" approach started working.

Isn't it the other way round, though?

They were twiddling their thumbs back then because they had no other option. There was no way to do machine learning back then. I've played with perceptrons on '90s hardware and it was basically just a toy.

And then Moore's law opened the flood gates some decades later.

If quantum physics theories are correct than there's always some amount of pure randomness in the game, making it impossible to create perfectly deterministic and repeatable system of any significant complexity.

I'm aware the burger is a facile example for it. It's supposed to make people realize that these razor thin margins exist everywhere, and will all be disrupted.
I think that's a great analysis; but then the discussion should be around that issue "why is the public paying for this service" rather than whether it's ethical to make it harder to jump the turnstile.

Tangentially related to UI - reading those pre-formatted lists is incredibly difficult on mobile.
There's no pool of 90+ million lazy people that could start working. I wasn't even aware this is a myth, but an old Politifact page addresses it, so it must be an old talking point.

It says the "working age population" which is everybody over 16, was 243 million in 2013, while the labor force was 156 million, leaving 87 million or about 36%.

Of those 87 million,
- 9 million were probably in high school
- 21 million were in college
- 40 million were over 65
- 2+ million were incarcerated
- ~20 million were disabled and cannot work (estimated 8% of the population)

That adds up to 92 million; obviously some of those older and younger people are in fact working.

See: https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2013/jul...

I spent quite a bit of time implementing the medicines management parts of this for a product that I don't think ever shipped (I, and the majority of the dev team left at around the same time due to concerns around management direction). I definitely thought that side of things seemed well thought out, and there was a lot of value in having consistent display of medication details and dosing across systems to try to make it as clear as possible for the users.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
> It was designed by engineers and deemed sufficient. Several people signed off on it.

In a company with failing engineering quality, what typically happens is that, of all the engineers qualified to sign off, management over time tend to choose the ones who are more willing to sign off. The more careful engineers who refuse to sign off, or attempt to negotiate harder for safety before signing off, are not promoted over the less careful engineers. The result is that the engineers in a position to sign off increasingly comprise the less careful ones.

Who is to blame in this case: the management who drive the process that selects the less careful engineers, or the less careful engineers?

If so, this would be backed by a great many ancient sources on this topic.

If so, it also creates great need to ponder how consciousness(es) are made to respond to their effects on others. If consciousness IS as wisdom traditions state, also what is needed is not empiricism, but plain commitment to respecting each other.

After all, saying "okay - if I exist regardless, what gives?" Others do too, and might also some reason or actual thing which makes this possible - and to honor that possibility is actually to behave safer, have more pleasant dealings, and ultimately concern ourselves with best practices in getting the most of what we get in addition to our bare consciousness.

If it can exist without any particular structure, it can be placed in other circumstances less desireable.

I.e. every cultural tradition regarding virtue and karma, and G-d.

I see evidence that the scientifically minded would be thrilled to know the makings of this, even if it would be n=1 revelation. I feel like the traditions given us are sensibly concerned with preserving awareness of these lately-arriving observations of upper dimensional/physics-derived approximations of how our selves are maintained in this projection by [previously unseen/ allegorically hinted in tradition] structures which are indeed real.

yadda yadda.. the wisest people always say this, and they themselves often got there the hard way, and yet report good and thankful circumstances from choosing respectful behavior.

So its somewhat able to be "controlled-for." The least-empirical and most curious, agenda-less, all say: do right, there is a supporting element that deserves respect, and since we do exist "hereafter" by some model in many different ways, its always worth not EXCLUDING this.

If we ARE, then what currently we are is only a portion. That creates curiosity and investigation - I do it. I discover what I didn't expect. Now I hope others do, and do better at getting this idea to those who refuse its possibility.

If so - if we are - that is to say, we exist regardless - it also means there's much to concern regarding not combating factors that will otherwise never preserve us. Instead, preserving mutual respect is greatest beneath whatever preserves all - because there would be no way free of the "other" if forever allowed for any result.
Users reuse passwords. The main reason of not having your passwords in clear text is to protect them from that. At least when (not if as you noticed) your site is hacked (the same day this attacker download your password database probably), it has no other impact for your users that whatever can happen on your site (the attacker might be able to use the hashed passwords to log on your site but at this point you probably have bigger problems, given that someone is able to download your password database, and you are probably going to reset all those passwords anyway).
On a long enough time horizon, the chance of recession is 100%. Warren is sounding the alarm here on some specific issues; whether or not those are the contributing factors to the next recession remains to be seen.

At this level of international politics, sure.

Airbus just had an excessive pitch problem in the A321neo, nearly the same as the 737-MAX troubles. https://simpleflying.com/airbus-a321neo-pitch-problem/ Suddenly, the FAA might take aggressive action to ban that aircraft. Maybe the EASA doesn't really object to the 737-MAX as much as they thought they did.

CAAC would like smooth approvals for Chinese aircraft. Huawei is also having issues. Things could suddenly change after a day of golf at Mar-a-Lago. Lots of things could change, some quietly and some publicly.

A bit different from Cosmonium or SpaceEngine, but I've been building a FOSS space simulator called Spacekit.js:

https://typpo.github.io/spacekit/

It's mostly focused on modeling orbits rather than beautiful free-camera renderings, but the visuals aren't terrible and it can model our solar system, exoplanets, render shapes and textures of asteroids, planets, etc.

It's based on the engine I used to build this meteor showers simulation, which has appeared on HN before: https://www.meteorshowers.org/

Not my commute (I cycle), but friends get subsidized public transport, there a scheme to buy a bicycle and pay off later (not even the full 100%), locked bicycle parking obviously, company bike for running errands. The company has two reserved parking places for cars but only one person owns a car. In previous companies we had showers for those jogging to work (or during lunch break).

The craziest was valet parking. I mean it cut the commute by a couple of minutes but the backstory was really the company didn't have enough parking and the city would've started issuing fines. Paying a valet parking company was apparently cheaper.

There's no way any reasonable person can believe for a minute that advertising doesn't have a tremendous impact on what news outlets will publish. You seem to be operating in some 1950s dream world where the news media is honest and operating in the public interest.

> Their goal is to inform, enlighten, provoke, etc. -- to serve their society.

No. Their goal is to get eyeballs looking at ads and turn those into conversions so that the paper can sell more ads. If tabloid content achieves that goal, then that's what you will get. If pushing a narrative accomplishes that, or is more profitable in other ways for the shareholders, then you'll get that instead.
I don't think it has to come too heavily from the top... if it does, then it starts to smell like already failed socialist experiments. Here's a few ideas that couldn't hurt though:

1. No more excessive corporate tax breaks.

2. No more offshore tax havens.

3. Equal footing for co-ops (subsidies, startup loans, etc.)

4. Teach alternatives to capitalism in schools, or least to think about capitalism more critically (this one's a stretch, it's already like a religion).

Other than that, I think it needs to come from the bottom. If worker co-ops really are better places to work then the word will get out once there's more of them.
The Future of ASMR
That's very well said. Consciousness isn't a "thing" to be discovered, it's a process. It's only visible when a variety of "things" are functioning in harmony. It's like asking which guitar string plays the G chord. It's _all_ of them and only when in tune.
I've heard that some of these places operate with covering a certain amount of gas, from point A to point B, and then if you spend more than they estimated (maybe you needed to take another route because of traffic jam), that's on you.

You then deduct that mileage. But again, that sounds like a massive hassle if you're doing these gigs 365 days a year, and need to collect all documentations.
You've been watching too much TV. Actual encryption primitives are often used with keys that would require a computer the size of the solarsystem to brute force. Bored hackers and nation states do not have such computers, no matter how well they are funded.
Boeing's 2018 revenue was ~0.5% of US GDP. Assuming that the 737 Max is a sizable percentage of that revenue, and that there's a decent GDP multiplier (Boeing pays employees who themselves spend money, etc) it could very easily be 0.6% of GDP, not of the growth rate.

Impacts to GDP growth are almost always measured relative to total GDP, not to expected growth.
I think people underestimate the quality of meat in fast food.

At least for McD's, for example, it's 100% beef and salt, no fillers or flavor science needed, just browning reactions from a hot griddle. The quality bar is actually pretty high for, say, a quarter pounder, and the flavor of the sandwich is predominantly the beef itself -- flavors like American cheese, raw onion, ketchup and bread are quite weak in comparison.

Taco Bell is a little different -- it's about 10% seasoning and 90% beef because that's what taco meat is supposed to be, but again the browned beef is the primary flavor component of the taco -- no amount of cumin will make up for it.

I'm not sure where people get the idea that fast food beef is somehow tasteless, low-quality, or engineered in any way that, say, home hamburgers aren't. It seems like it's just this urban myth that perpetuates itself because it's fun to believe.

If we want secure tools for democracy then that's going to mean a completely open and thus verifiable (audit-able) platform.

This needs to be from the PCB traces, all of the component tolerances, all of the chips, all of the firmware (even the ROMs that are actually baked in ROMs on the chips), the bootloader, OS, and entire userland.

This is required not just for the host system but also the human interfaces and peripherals.

I hope we will be able to reach that point with a RISKV system at some point; but the various proprietary interfaces that require licences for implementation/etc might make this problematic. I am for standards, preferably completely free, but FRAND and non-restrictive on meeting the above goals might be good enough. The platform has to be fully open-book, but some of that book can be covered by reproduction limitations for a limited time. (I'd prefer standard patent duration at most, as this stuff NEEDS to become the digital version of paper at some point; and within my lifetime would be nice.)
Many people would reject your definition of consciousness. You can easily imagine a universe where agents perform all the activities you listed, but without an experiential flavour to them. It would all be an "empty" process, much like a simulation in software except with more complex rules.

Yet our universe seems nothing like this. There is an experiential flavour to it which everyone has access to from a first person perspective.

For the vast majority of Indians - probably not.

For comparison the most popular of these mobile data plans (which also offer unlimited calls) come in at around 300-400rs per month. And there are enough Indians in this bracket for Netflix to carve out a good chunk of the market.

This is because in your country it is exceedingly unlikely the cops will receive a barrage of high powered assault rifle fire after knocking. The militarization of police in the US is a complicated problem that ultimately stems from our proliferation of guns which turn every interaction cops have into a potentially deadly one.
