When I joined GE 10 years ago, Six Sigma was on the way out. There was a brief time period, a few years ago, at the end of Immelt's era IIRC, when the Lean Startup seemed to be the new favorite methodology, but I have not seen it really used in projects, most people still don't know what a MVP is.

More recently, Larry Culp seems to want to focus more on Lean (which is already heavily used in manufacturing across GE).

Take that with a pinch of salt, since GE is still rather big, experiences may vary.
Wow. Thanks for making this! As an analog photographer, this is what I've been looking for. I've bookmarked it for future reference.

Here are some points I noticed (no dealbreakers):

- On the landing page, it would be nice to be able to simply scroll down to see some content. Now the call-to-action button is there but why not show the main content below the "hero" image?

- On the page with the film rolls: would be nice to have the specs of the film rolls on this page if you hover over a particular roll. E.g. replace the image of the roll with the technical specs. If not the technical specs, then at least the short description that you have on their individual pages.

- The pages for a specific film roll are tagged (e.g. "street", "General purpose", etc.) but they are not clickable. It would be nice to click on the tags and see what other film rolls are available with that tag.

- For the example images: add arrow-key navigation (I noticed Esc key works, which is nice)

- Not all pictures scale to full screen (e.g. the first image here https://filmtypes.com/films/ilford-delta-100). Is the resolution too low of the original image?

- I realize you want feedback, but the chatbox in the lower left (edit: lower right) annoys me a bit. It is easy to dismiss with a large X to close, so it boils down to personal preference. Have you gotten good feedback from it? If not, maybe consider making your feedback email address more prominent.

edit to add:

- Consider making an "info" icon and place it next to "Specs" on each individual film roll page. When clicked, a small pop-up can be shown that explains what you mean by contrast, color tone etc.

I agree with you this is a very important issue. But it's far too easy to underestimate the "stubborness" of people to keep living fine!

There's a bit more analysis over at the SpaceX subreddit [1]. Basically it seems that they are dodging one of the Starlink satellites that's going through deorbit testing. Some speculation over there as to why but likely it just seems the two companies have different risk appetite.

No, the point is that different chemicals have different impact on the atmosphere (e.g. CO2, CH4 (emitted by cows), NOx (emitted by diesel cars and coal burning), ...)
You are likely underestimating the effect food has on the digestive system. Especially wrt to what lives there. Add fecal transplants to your research. If what bacteria live in the gut can sometimes cure depression, we should be paying far more attention to what we feed our gut bacteria. It's our second brain and science is just now starting to discover how it all works.
Yeah, you can feel the bad blood behind the press release.

Basically ESA nicely asked SpaceX to maneuver their sat and shorten its lifetime - they don't have a legal basis or enforcement mechanism anyway. SpaceX pretended not to hear until it was too late and ESA went ahead with their contingency plan of burning their own sat's fuel and lifetime instead.
Morris traversal of a binary tree is fairly straightforward once you clue into the fact that the child nodes left and right pointers are being used to reference the predecessor node and successor node respectively. That's it. Simple idea with big implications. I'll have a look at XOR Linked Lists. I've heard of them before but the implementation always looked awkward enough for it to not really be worth it imo.

The rise in per-capita energy consumption is such a strong trend that no lifestyle change will ever have a significant effect. Environmentalists regularly beat this dead horse, and I see that as a significant error, because it diverts effort from our only viable chance: technological evolution towards sustainable energy sources.

I once saw a chart with estimated per-capita energy use on a 3000 year timeline. That's when I formed this opinion. Per capita energy use never went down in human history. Unfortunately, I can't find the same chart. Here's a 60 year trend, as a poor substitute: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE

We are lucky. Solar power is viable, and is economically at a point where it is very competitive. The end is still open, but we _may_ still avoid doom.
There's a good chance that such a machine may accept DC just fine without even knowing it. Assuming the inverter/VFD has a simple full-bridge as its first stage, the DC would just flow through the same half of the bridge all the time.

A lot of PSUs can do this too; I just bought a Mean Well RSP-1500-48 which specifies its input voltage as AC 90-264V, or DC 127-370V. This means I can run it straight from the traction battery in my car (200V DC) if I care to...

Upvote for referencing "Total Recall".

My favorite line in the film was actually a clever aside, when Quaid is being solicited by one of the mutant clairvoyants with an offer to tell him his future, his sardonic rejoinder is, "how about the past?".
I read mostly non fiction but mystery novels are the one fiction genre I never mind reading. I read it like a (roundabout) lesson on the character of a time and place. I'd previously read London's Sherlock, Belgium's Poirot (written by the English Agatha Christie), LA's Philip Marlowe and France's Lupin (good reads, but the translations are poor quality).

I picked up Pietr the Latvian recently in a search for more Continental novels in the 18th and 19th century. I've started another Maigret novel since. Georges Simenon is a pretty incredible author given his serial output. Likewise the translators mentioned in the article did excellent work. I highly recommend these translated Maigret novels for both the plot and the wordsmithing.
”I live in SF and can get door-to-door to a friend's house in San Diego in 3 hours. I can do similar things for LA, Vegas, Portland, and Seattle if I like”

Takes about a half hour from SF to SFO by car or BART. You need to get to the airport an hour before boarding. Boarding takes half an hour. That’s two hours. Flight time to SAN is about 1.5 hours. So now we’re at 3.5 hours, without counting commute time to your friend’s house.

And that’s pretty much optimal, in my experience. Maybe you can shave a half hour off, but unless you live next to the airport, you’ll miss as many flights as you catch if you try it regularly.

”Even when I fly cross-country...the flight back is just three hours after adjusting for time-zone change.”

Now you’re just making things up. Quick google tells me that’s a five-hour flight, not counting the lead time, taxi, etc.

I am not a financial planner, but investing in riskier bonds because safe ones pay little interest has burned many investors over the years. If you do that you need to be ready to move quickly (quicker than many pro houses with billions invested in tech) if those riskier companies start going belly up. Personally, in this climate I keep short term cash in checking and use TIPS or similar if I wanted bonds. Whatever is invested I view as potentially untouchable for 10+ years. Just my 2c.

This appears to be complete mismanagement of pension funds.

When people manage their private funds they reduce their exposure to risky investments like stocks as they reach retirement age. Public pension funds should behave identically and eat a small yield loss in exchange for lower risk.
Perhaps (I'm not a native speaker) but that doesn't mesh with my understanding of the word.

Wikipedia's entry on Flavor [1] says:

A "flavorant" is defined as a substance that gives another substance flavor, altering the characteristics of the solute, causing it to become sweet, sour, tangy, etc. A flavor is a quality of something that affects the sense of taste.

So they claim that "sweet" is a flavor, which to me makes it obvious that Sucralose, being a sweetener, is acting as flavoring.

As a question answerer, that’s why I prefer Reddit. It’s much less formal, more conversational and you can actually have a discussion.

No one "sets" bond yields. They are determined by supply and demand in the market. Buying pressure pushes up bond prices (which reduces their yield).

The book "Elephant In The Brain" devotes an entire chapter to how the education system is effectively one large, expensive signaling mechanism. It was an interesting read that I'd recommend checking out. For the record I completely agree with you and I'm saying this as someone with a STEM degree. The "signaling" aspects of our education system completely break down in tech. I would personally need a lot more info than whether someone is an MIT or Stanford grad to want to work with them.

How to use MIDI for web: in short
While short term interest rates are strongly affected by the operation of the Federal Reserve, which can choose to buy or sell to achieve policy goals, long term interest rates are set by the market. If the government offered bonds with a coupon at 3 times the going rate, it would sell at auction at a price that would cause it to yield the going rate. Essentially, the market is not excited about the prospects for equities and has been bidding up the price (reducing yield) of bonds.

N.B., inflation (CPI-U) averaged 1.5% per year over the last 5 years, if my calculation is correct.

This all happened at 320km, which is way below the Starlink constellation operating elevation. So the satellite in question is either one that is undergoing de-orbit testing, or is not functioning correctly which likely means SpaceX couldn't move it if they wanted to.

Very, very misleading to say the ESA had to dodge the "mega constellation".

>Nobody's forced to read SO questions.

Yes, you're absolutely correct. However, you're not realizing that the truth you stated (free-will volunteer vs conscript/slave) is actually the reason why users are not getting mandatory comments from downvoters.

Because StackOverflow can't force desirable expert answerers like Jon Skeet to look at SO questions, they have to keep some social mechanisms in place to keep the site attractive and tolerable for him and his peers. (E.g. Jon Skeet doesn't want to leave mandatory comments for every downvote and many of his expert peers agree with him. So far, StackOverflow & Jeff Atwood also agrees with them: make downvotes easier not harder.)

>Optimizing the site to maximize the probability that users feel stupid is not IMO the best choice.

It's certainly possible to believe SO's philosophy is fundamentally flawed and the rules need to be changed to favor the question asker over the answerers and if Jon Skeet doesn't like it he can fuck off. Well, I don't think SO has determined that the "brain drain" is worth it.

Look at the Skeet's profile[1]. He's probably the top C# and Java expert on that site. One of his most-upvoted answers is to the question, "Why is subtracting these two times (in 1927) giving a strange result?" The very tiny number of C# programmers with the expert skills to answer that question are outnumbered by the masses of people that ask stupid questions.

It doesn't seem like your suggested changes take into account the asymmetry of the bad overwhelming the good. The resource constraints of Q&A site are the minority of experts capable of answering the questions with quality answers. SO noticed that resource constraint in 2010 and that's why it prioritizes highly valuable contributors like Jon Skeet over random people who can ask any bad question.

Pension funds != savings

Pension funds are intended to be large pools of money invested wisely, ensuring that retirees from a certain employer can be paid what they were promised.

Changing interest rates would affect how the fund managers invested the money (in theory). It's unlikely that pension fund managers can recession-proof their investments, partly because recessions by definition are harmful to almost everyone who is holding securities when they begin.

Many likely already do exactly that. It's similar to computer power supplies, which can often (at least if they don't claim active PFC) just take DC at 320 V if set to 230 V AC, because the current handling on the bridge rectifier is specified for 115/120V, which results in a their current rating only being half-used at 230 V.
Which reminds me to check a modern server power supply for whether it could just be switched over to a battery bank at a suitable voltage on power loss. Most load should be easy to shed in a couple seconds by triggering suspend-to-RAM, and UPS are wastefully expensive if they only exist to tank full load for a moment and standby/idle for long enough to handle manual filling and starting of a generator.
Getting people to accept increased food prices, higher cost of imported goods and higher taxes in order to focus on infrastructure is complex. To make a comparison, universal healthcare is a rather minor governmental change.

To put down some numbers, Americans spend just 6.4% of their household income on food. Around 1950 they spent about 20%. It not that Americans eat one fifth as much as they used to (if anything the claim is that people eat more today), so the life style change is both that people need to pay more and eat less.

Similar if we talk about railway budget, the US government spend today about 0.00156% in proportion to the budget of 1950. It basically stopped investing into the railway infrastructure. Naturally the proportion of the population (and industry) that use the railway system has also gone down, through not as extreme as the budget.

The root of the problem is that people don't want to pay more to get less, and then also consume less at the same time. They also don't want to pay more taxes in order to invest heavily in infrastructure that take half a century before people see the benefits.
It's not really a bait and switch.

> Do people actually invest in these bonds?

Absolutely

> Why would they not put it in a safer, positive returning, investment like US bonds?

At a minimum you are exposed to the exchange rate with your domestic currency, and FX can be volatile - developed market currencies can easily move a few percent in one week - compare that to the Treasury yield of c.2%/year. PLus you are exposed to US macro-environment and interest rates which may be totally unrelated or risk-additive with respect to your investment strategy.

Even +ve yielding bonds are losing money in real terms. People buy german bunds and swiss govvies at negative yields as they are a save haven.
