> why airplanes have to dump fuel when emergency/unplanned (e.g. due to medical emergency) landing

Though perhaps that's not the best example - for a really urgent medical emergency where every minute matters, an overweight landing would certainly be considered ahead of wasting precious time dumping fuel. Equally, there are a few more other types of emergencies where you'd want to get back onto the ground ASAP even if that means exceeding the maximum landing weight.

> While the passengers may survive a full weight landing, the plane will incur heavy damage.

At least these days, all aircraft certified under Part 25 must be able to land at maximum take-off weight with a descent rate of 6 ft/s (360 ft/min), which is already at the border towards what would be considered a hard landing (at maximum landing weight, planes need to allow a landing with 10 ft/s / 600 ft/min without structural damage).

So of course you still need to consider whether the changed performance characteristics (approach speed, required runway length, climb gradient for go-arounds, etc.) at MTOW will still allow you to land safely in that specific situation, but fear of "heavy damage" is not something you need to consider.
You might want to bring the plane down a little even more careful than usual, the brakes certainly have to work harder and maybe the plane needs to be inspected afterwards just to be sure, but otherwise you should be fine.
Jumping UP an entire FIFTH is hardly the same as dropping DOWN a single NOTE then dropping down another single note. In what world are these two even remotely similar?

> This doesn't even make sense. It's like saying that referring to a 18th century invention to invalidate a 2019 patent is a red herring. Music is music.

Point out even one classical music piece were any instrument is used even remotely similarly to how this piece ties together the song. It does not exist. Trimming out a few similar notes used in an entirely different manner for an entirely different effect is like saying Picasso and Rembrandt are similar because they use similar lines and curves.

> No, it only indicates that these persons have a limited repertoire.

Copyright exists for the general public (as stated in the US constitution). If you need an expert to tell you two pieces of music seem to be similar, but actually are not, then there's probably something wrong.
Providing parking is expensive - perhaps developers will create units that are more affordable if they are not required to spend the extra money to provide parking.
The worst factor in the "Spanish" Flu was likely conditions in the battlefields of World War I rather than the pathogen itself. Hogs and chickens were kept close to troops so their mess could feed them under the tight land constraints of trench warfare, and those troops were cramped together, wet, cold, and undernourished. They then suddenly got redistributed into the general European population after hostilities ceased. But I digress.

If someone wants to take a juicier tomato and a tomato with more flavor and combine them to make a hybrid tomato, I don't so much care about a genetically modified tomato that could have eventually been hybridized in the greenhouse. As things get further from that, I have more reservations and I think we should look a little closer. Across species is a little more concerning. Across families moreso still, and so on as we talk about bigger and bigger jumps.

You make a good case about our own genetics specifically, too. Things that alter our DNA or the DNA of things we already share diseases with (other primates, horses, hogs, for example) should probably get more attention to possible risks and side effects.

These sites are quite varied, I do agree. One small thing I noticed. Some sites could have improved tab navigation, for example https://www.memberstack.io/. The site, without any interaction, is buttery smooth 60fps. When I start tabbing through the "What others are saying..." carousel, though, it destroys the animation frame rate (Chrome, Mac OS, 32 GB RAM).

Pretty much just as unsuited. Even if a van has 3 times the area available to solar panels it's still a negligible amount of energy...

By the way, the best book and/or course I've read for building intuition for these kinds of questions is "Physics for Future Presidents" by Richard Muller. He used to teach it as a course at CMU and I believe the lecture series is still available to watch or listen to online. Very worthwhile.
Define better.

Our housing is spiraling out of control, we have no unity between provinces (Alberta vs BC, Alberta vs East), we get screwed on just about ANY service (we pay insane amounts for flights and telecom for instance) and we get paid a bunch less (as in x times less) than our counterparts in the US. Our dollar is far lower than USD making most products far more expansive. Best jobs in Canada are public sector.

Healthcare is better than the US - I am not going to be bankrupted by a broken wrist. But I do have to wait many months before I can see a specialist (I had to wait 1+ years for a surgery for instance).

Better? I'm not so sure. For a tech worker US is a far better place IMO.
Illuminating discussion about jar files
All money is debt which is to be repaid with interest. Therefore, in order to do business you must experience growth else you can't pay the interest on your debt. New technology and research and development depends on promises of greater fortunes in the future therefore you invest a significant amount with a certain amount of risk to get a certain return in the future. If things were constant but risk still existed, you would lose money each time you took on any risk. Therefore, progress would no longer happen.
I don't know why you're downvoted.

AFAIK you are correct.
Housing may be a little harder to accomplish usefully for the people that would live there for this idea, but business would likely work well. The problem with housing (if it encompasses a large area and not just small subsets of the available area) is that some people functionally need a car for their job or life. Cutting off large amounts of housing from those that commute or those that need to make semi-regular long trips for other reasons (maybe picking up children weekly for a custody agreement, or taking care of a relative that is semi-dependent).

Maybe paid dedicated parking separate from the housing and only allowed to people that live in the area (with an increase in price for a second car for a household) would suffice, as long as it was planned well. But that's the problem, poor planning (or changes over time) could cause problems again.
This is not a silver bullet, but a small step in the right direction. I think it causes problems in the short run, but helps strengthen public transit in the long run.

More productively, if you are worried about this sort of thing, you can recover this amount of energy most likely today if you Google the term "hypermiling", read up, think, and then don't do anything stupid but tweak your driving style with what you read. Bonus, you can do this with any type of car, including whatever it is you are driving now.

This will cut your energy usage by wildly more than anything this solar panel can do.

However, please let me re-iterate, don't do anything stupid. That term will lead you to some stupid things to save trivial amounts of energy.
The order in which they were mentioned made Qt the lumbering wheelbarrow.
Ask any lawyer and they will tell you not to talk to the police. This has been universal advice since long before the internet. Social media has made people more aware of their rights and potential pitfalls by making it easy to share videos like this one:

And syntax highlighting. Coders really only solve their own problems well. Everyone else gets "built to the spec".
Out of curiosity: how does piracy for a single play or local multiplayer game from the '90s and '00s compare to today? Things like legitimate sources for digital distribution and regular sales could have an impact on piracy without requiring Internet connectivity for DRM.
That was quite a bad move indeed. I personally watched the debates as well and was quite disappointed to see a totally different "winner". Still the solution was a compromise and this is what really defines the EU. I'm not sure how much the televised campaign mattered as the head of EC was voted by the European Parliament not by people back home but yeah more transparency would be welcome.

Now let's review another twist of democracy. How is that a "remainer"(May) become the person to deliver the victory of the "leave" campaign? There wasn't much televised campaign either if I recall correctly.

Would a direct election of the EC make EU more democratic? Should the UK elect the PM that way as well? Not many voted for Boris either, right?
At least stop using official twitter apps and the site. If you can get a third party twitter client like tweetbot that makes a huge difference. I'm not sure why anyone uses twitter's official apps since they started messing with ordering, throwing in ads. Is it because they also became more restrictive with API access for third party apps? My tweetbot works like a charm still.
Theaters generally pay the distributor per showtime, not per ticket sold (IIRC). So a distributor makes the same amount for an empty showtime as a full one. Theaters then price tickets to optimize towards fully covering the amount they paid to air the film, making their profits on concessions.

So while you're right that most of the costs of a ticket go to the distributor, that's not related to number of tickets sold, it's that tickets are priced to cover the costs already paid.

If someone knows more about this and has a source confirming, clarifying, or correcting me, please share, as I've been interested in this for a long time.
The cap doesn't really matter. What matters is the shape of the population pyramid that social programs require. You will need to have more younger people than older people and the population growth in the developed world simply isn't enough. Removing the caps simply kicks the can down the road. European countries have the same issue and that's why many of them have been increasing the retirement age but also removing some benefits from future generations (eg Italy).
I think its largely due to globalization. Lots of the blue collar jobs went overseas. Thinking back I can recall all the transitions my employers did to adapt to globalization.
They are nice to see some new things MSFT is doing, but literally 50% ads, including a glued on fake cover ad.
Shudder. A world of difference between these tools and source control.
10-30% doesn't even seem excessive if there is no product today.

There are so many startups that post on this board with an open-ended title similar to "Looking for an engineer to build our product", then you go to their website and they're offering 0.5% equity. It's almost insulting.

I like Adam Neely, but Leonard French is an actual copyright attorney. He meanders a bit, but does a good job explaining the law here, including why this decision is narrower and more defensible than a lot of musicians might think.
This.

It doesn't make much sense for a $400/hr attorney to play around with scripts and such or otherwise do much of anything with document production (that is what staff is for).

If an attorney knows coding from a previous career, it can be helpful in a few cases, but for a non-technical attorney to try to pick up enough coding to do anything useful is a stretch.
Just exactly what it says: that the assertion in the article is disputed by 8chan.

Have your IT team enforce it? If you don't have centralized management of your computers then you're probably small enough to go around to everybody and say, "install this".
I think it's because there are fewer potential substrings to check for matches, since most of the characters you add to a regex to make it longer also add to the minimum length of the expressions that it can find

Even the idiots on YouTube are mostly smart enough to pack it in once they get too much attention. An installed device does not have that luxury-- nor, under your argument, should it need it.

If your claim is that you could stand outside a restaurant blowing a bullhorn at patrons and passers-by for long enough to get caught doing it and that there would be no repercussions, I think you're mad.
Gov'ts can do 3 things - encourage something, do nothing, or discourage something. Parking minimums encourage people to drive cars. This is LA taking a small step towards picking winners (cars...) just little bit less.
I find that line wrapping frequently prevents me from getting complete coverage though. So it works for some cases, not for others.

But I do love auto-formatters. (I'm doing web dev at the moment, so Prettier.) It is freeing to not worry about spacing, line breaks, parens, etc.

And yet the effects of BPA have actually been studied, and it should not pose such a wide health hazard. But, due to the public outcry over potential dangers, the industry has been moving on to other bisphenol compounds that are less well understood. I think there could be a whole host of synthetics that contribute to the problem.
Yes, I occasionally spend time at our cabin north of Iron River. Cell coverage is not great except near the "bigger" towns like Houghton (Michigan Tech) and Marquette (Northern Michigan). But I love the UP and its remote northwoods wilderness.

Actually tons of classical pieces depend on a key motif by a particular instrument...

The US constitution is wrong: copyright as it stands exists for fat company executives.
It's like Go, good for microservices. Standalone decoupled app that does heavy lifting of a specific task. It's not good at all for full stack. ORM is barebones, authn/authz story almost non-existent other than throwing around tokens. If it's a pretty standard enterprise app that's CRUD heavy and requires RBAC then use Django/Rails/.NET/maybe Node? for your main app and use Rust only for the CPU-bound stuff unless you are prepared to reinvent a lot of wheels.

Take a look at this it you want an idea of what your codebase would look like:

https://gitlab.com/bloom42/bloom/tree/dev/server
Currently, any changes made without the extension won't be tracked. For some services, we will eventually be able to capture the delta anyways, if they have API access to their own configuration. This, however, is still sub-optimal because you lose out on the commit message and the opportunity to capture the intent behind the change at the time that it's being made.

Our hope is that much like policies around code review, where often you can commit to master, but by policy you don't and request a review first, your coworkers will see the value in everyone contributing so that everyone is kept aware and the log is maintained.
If they don’t want to fix their shit and you don’t want to deal with their shit, then that outcome seems best for everyone involved.
Given the historical frequency of war, I'd say what looks like stability probably isn't as stable as one might like to assume.

Interesting. Thanks
This thing is very much a marketing gimmick, but the idea is not horrible.

A Toyota Camry is 4.9 meters long and 1.8 meters wide. That’s almost 9m2, if they can cover ~2/3 of that with panels you’re talking around 6m2. You don’t get to tilt the panels, but you can put them on the sides which makes up for it.

Space is limited so using 30+% efficient panels is reasonable. That’s 1.8+ kw in full sun which is about 5.4 miles of range per hour. These numbers are appropriate, but when you start talking 40+ miles extra range per day that’s not worthless.

Use fewer lower efficiency panels and 20 miles per day should be cheap. This is well below that.
Am I missing something or does this depend on the company having a WiFi network that's connected to the company's normal internal network and its only authentication is an somewhat insecure Wifi password?

Because I would think that's a very uncommon case, everywhere I've worked either didn't have WiFi or the WiFi was a completely external network.
I definitely read these sentences too quickly: "Hyundai added that 30% to 60% of the car’s battery could be charged using the solar technology. With six hours of charge per day, the vehicle could increase travel distances by 1,300 kilometers per year."

I read those as charging 30-60% of the battery with six hours of charge per day, but I see now that it's six hours a day for 3.5 kilometers per day, and that 30-60% of the battery totally can be charged. Meaning that a car left in the sun for a long period of time can never exceed 30-60% charge.

My bad. Your breakdown makes it more clear that this car is in the same range as my Prius, just marketing the result differently.

Thanks for posting the article. Acknowledging that the owner, not founder, made the claims. As you say, one should take 8chan with a grain of salt. However it's still worthwhile to note the claim is disputed.
Hm, I almost feel like it's the spam problem all over again where the appropriate fixes involve tradeoffs that many (not me though) find unacceptable, and we need to adapt the famous spam solution forum letter:

The standard of "substantial similarity" in copyright law depends not on how an expert would see things, but on how a reasonable average person would see things. Juries are not perfect, but a jury of random people is probably the most qualified way to determine the question "would average people see these two things as substantially the same."

Leonard French—a YouTuber and actual copyright attorney—does a good job covering the legal standards and issues here: https://youtu.be/t-tsw6Z4eHc.
Thanks for pointing that out. Maybe this is moving the goalposts, but I'm still happy they're at least disclosing the issues and following the mandated procedure, instead of trying to hide it and save face.
I agree that markets can't solve everything, especially within the tight networks of externalities that exist in high-density cities. But with parking, I think the problem is the opposite: car owners create a negative externality (use of limited city-provided parking) that ends up costing non-car-owners because cities then require buildings to build parking.
I think you are overstating the case that the market will pass this saving through. In reality there is some market-clearing price for a dwelling without a parking space and there's nothing the developer can do to influence it. This is the same reason that it's actually not possible to "build affordable housing" as many people demand. Yes you can build the housing but there's nothing you can do about the price it then commands.
The real question is, how strong does the ramp that I'm going to drive two wheels up on to tip the roof to the sun need to be? Can I build it out of 2x4s and 3/4" plywood and how far apart do the offsets need to be? Is it OK to leave a car parked for long periods at a 30 degree angle?
Ban the use of highways because hackers use highways.
Are they? It's always seemed to me that frequent stops, circuitous routes and long travel distances are the reason the buses are slow relative to cars. After all, cars have to deal with other cars as well. And for comparison, to the south, San Diego has much better traffic than LA, but the buses are still quite slow (e.g. I recently considered taking the bus rather than a 15-minute drive in San Diego, but it would have been over an hour by bus).

String search algorithms can cleverly skip forward when they don't find a match. They can skip forward more for longer "needle" strings.

That said grep is pretty fast period, so probably doesn't make a huge difference in practice, especially if you're IO-bound, which is common.
The apps function correctly, it's the UI that is the problem.

It's modern looking, but obviously not native and doesn't respect some platform idioms or shortcuts, so all in all it's a subpar experience. This is completely related to Electron and would not happen for a native app, where the framework takes care of the look & feel and integration.

If every app were written like this, we'd end up with scores of slightly inconsistent apps, all of them trying to be unique and cool and resulting in a mediocre platform. i.e. Windows.
