I often also listen to New Books Network, but my hope that the discussion will focus on the most important and original part of a book sometimes takes a beating. The interviewer often starts with a "Tell us about yourself" inquiry and follows with, "Why did you decide to write this book?" The answer to that question is almost always too long and rarely gives any significant knowledge about the content of the work. Add another 5 or 10 minutes near the end of the interview for, "What are you working on now?" Then you have a couple of ads or promos from the podcast site, introductions, closes, so even if the interviewer has read the book and is a very skilled questioner and the writer is also a very skilled conversationalist, the salience ratio of an hour podcast rarely exceeds 50%. YMMV.
You're not hijacking it, just adding some contextual information, namely: "Strength requirements are specified in terms of limit loads (the maximum loads to be expected in service) and ultimate loads (limit loads multiplied by prescribed factors of safety). Unless otherwise provided, prescribed loads are limit loads."

Yeah, I'm skeptical too, but I still think it's a worthwhile investment to see what comes out. Probably nothing, but we need as much investing as possible in climate-friendly power sources. This bet might not pay off, but you do enough of them, one might pay off big.
I don’t think it’s extremely cynical. Depending on the culture of the company it would be quite possibly that there was pressure - subtle, or less so - put on employees.

SF feels a lot like every other major city to me. Do you think New York, Chicago, and LA have low costs of living? They're expensive too.

What surprises me about the Bay Area, though, is how expensive the suburbs are. I remember seeing apartments in downtown Mountain View that were $3000/month for one bedroom. Now that's insane and I don't think that happens anywhere else in the world.

Still it means world ex-China went from being 30% poor to 10% poor (1050M out of 3400M in 1980 and 640M out of 6400M now). Great achievement nonetheless. While yes, most spectacular in China. That's what happens when you scrap Communism and manage to not break everything else in the process (and yes, also hack your way there quite a bit, creating quite a few long-term liabilities that will backfire soon).

The reason you're seeing it all the time is probably because roboticists are very excited about using external magnetic fields to create smaller designs that don't require carrying a power source, without worrying whether those are still "robots".

For example, the best paper award at the Robotics: Science and Systems conference this year was won by a magnetic jellyfish: http://www.roboticsproceedings.org/rss15/p13.pdf

Maybe the magnet should be counted as part of the robot, with the moving parts being analogous to a gripper.
> Harvard and MIT would have also been 100% fine if they simply didn't take money from a child rapist. The fact they did and knowingly looked the other way is what is appalling.

Refusing to take money from someone is a form of ostracism. Therefore, this statement:

> What people are upset about is not that he was insufficiently ostracized.

is false. They are literally logical contradictions of each other.

I tried forced-mode DoH in Firefox 68 and 69, on Debian 9 and 10. In all cases, it worked for a while then stopped to work after a few hours (at random it seems). The only way for me to make it work again was to disable DoH.

I guess a more long term solution is to have a local proxy dns-to-doh, but we are falling back in the solution that only a technical user can setup :

https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/dns-over-https/clo...

And it means setting up firewall routing and filters, as some softwares don't have settings to add DNS proxy, or even bypass them (Google Chrome for example)

Barcelona has some of the best cheap fine dining options, on the other hand. And the quality of meats and things you'd put in a sandwich available in the supermarket is much better for my tastes; I say this as a weekend tripper to Barcelona, I live in London.

I don't eat sandwiches from stores, last time I did that was 12 years ago. A sandwich is a last, desperate choice. I get my lunch from one of the stalls at a street food market, between £6 and £7.50 every day.

London is good for Asian food; some of my co-workers who have Asian wives don't think much of the food in Paris for this reason. I, on the other hand, don't care much for Asian food apart from occasional Korean fried chicken as a fast food snack.

When comparing things like sandwiches, I think it's important to normalise for sandwich eating as part of the culture.

Is that 0.1% for non-snapshotted data? I'm under the impression that if you snapshot your data, EBS can recover some failures from the S3-backed snapshot transparently, increasing durability.

I obviously don't know the technical details, but it seems plausible to me that with a proper implementation snapshots could provide additional durability by reducing the amount of low-redundancy data that is "in danger" during disk failure recovery.
Robert Kegan developed a theory of adult development. He identifies five stages. Stage 3 can be described as communal, stage 4 as systematic and stage 5 as metasystematic. These are modes of thinking and describe how you relate to others, how you make sense of the world, etc. He says that most adult people belong to stage 3, some to stage 4 and very few to stage 5. He also holds that higher stages include the capacity to think in lower stages and are really better, in the sense that they increase your capacity to make sense of the world.

I believe that the three groups mentioned in the article map pretty nicely onto this framework and that, while you may not be able to choose your (maximum) stage, you can over time progress into higher stages.

Google must give a paywall filter in my opinion. I totally agree that a lot of times there is no intent for the Google user to see paywalled content when looking for information.
> False equivalence and straw man. Refusing to associate a private educational institution with a person does not disenfranchise them from participating in government. He should be able to vote with respect to governments, and upstanding private institutions should also ostracize him. There's no logical conflict.

It's not a false equivalence. There is an equivalence: social sanctions extending beyond the sanction of the courts. And I didn't say that there was a logical contradiction, I was highlighting the moral nuance of this point. The view that social ostracism is ok, but disenfranchisement or employment application questions is not is a very fine needle to thread, in my view.

And to be clear, i'm not saying that that needle can't be threaded. Just that I don't think the moral subtlety here is getting the attention it deserves, because Epstein is a popular enemy.
The supermarkets in UK are very poor for good food, and it seems with Brexit approaching, selection is declining by the week. To find good meat, you need to go to a butcher (Ginger Pig is my closest); good cheese, a cheesemonger (La Fromagerie). For good cold meat, a deli. Etc. It's quite labour intensive to get a decent spread of tasty stuff.

If you're testing it up to the limit then no, it is not expected.

But if you're pushing it beyond the design limit then yes, it is expected to break.

Some wing tests are done beyond the limit, some are done below the limit (non-destructive tests cost less, that's why they're preferred, but for a new design they might just push it beyond the limit to see when does it effectively fail)

Allah would neither speak, nor would He absolve them
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) observed: Three (are the persons) with whom Allah would neither speak, nor would He absolve them on the Day of Resurrection. Abu Mu'awiyahh (RA)h (RA) added: He would not look at them and there is grievous torment for them: the aged adulterer, the liar king and the proud destitute.

And anybody who has driven a Porsche knows what an immaculate steering and transmission feels like. I seriously doubt Porsche would release something that was not up to the standard of the regular vehicles.
I wouldn't criticize them so roundly. 1) People want to be slow to accuse 2) People want to believe that most people are good -- that Epstein is a huge outlier and not that he had lots of willing accomplices, co-conspirators, and legitimizers, and 3) People want to believe that MIT, which is held in very high regard in most places, does not harbor such filth.

Coke No Sugar and Coke Zero are different formulas, at least in Australia. It was a big enough deal that major supermarkets refused to carry Coke No Sugar when it launched here next to Zero [1], and Dominos Pizza switched their contract from Coke to Pepsi over it. [2]

Personally I was a fan & regular drinker of Coke Zero. But I tried Coke No Sugar & didn't like it as much, and I switched all my spending to Pepsi Max once Coke Zero was discontinued. Interestingly, in Australia, Pepsi Max is owned by Asahi and is the #1 diet cola, even above the Coca-Cola brands.

As an avid fan and long time user of the Fisher Space Pen which I carry on me at all times, I've heard this anecdote many times.

The urban legend defence of the space pen is that the Russian's didn't realise that graphite in pencils conducts electricity and so unwittingly sent their cosmonauts up with a means of short circuiting mission-critical circuitry aboard the spacecraft. Pencils give off filings and need to be sharpened after all.

In other words, it was a Soviet expediency that, not unlike Chernobyl, ended up being an epic fail.

Regardless of the veracity of this anecdote, Fisher's pen is an excellent item and a great gift. The ergonomics, ability to write upsidedown and the size of it make it a must-have IMHO.
This. And I already have to deal with smart appliances that try to contact their own DNS (I’m looking at you, Samsung) and that break if I force their requests through my own resolver.

It’s a nice idea and I’m glad to see it investigated, however the efficiency of kinetic energy generation from a regular turbine is always going to be greater.

Oscillation from vortex shedding behind a cylinder depends on separation of slow moving air and the subsequent imbalance in lift on either side. You’re using some of the kinetic energy of the flow to induce the vortex shedding.

A regular turbine on the other hand uses very efficient airfoils where you can at attempt to maintain laminar flow and maximise energy extraction.

I see this technology as being great for energy harvesting on existing infrastructure. Put vibrational energy harvesters on pylons and poles in windy areas and you could power traffic lights, street lights etc.
Nope. They didn't have that rule when I started.
If maintained properly and built from high quality materials, reinforced concrete buildings have lifespan much longer than 80 years.

I have a house from 1960s which was modified in 2000s and it is quite funny to see the parts originally built in 1960 are in a much better shape than the ones added around 2007. Actually nothing bad happens to the old parts, and if no hurricane, flood, fire or war happens I'm quite sure it will last for the next 100 years or more.
Sure but those costs are applied on top of both properties. I doubt you could get a buy to let mortgage on a Victorian house in London unless you had a 60% deposit.

No it doesn't "prove" it.

But if you look at his crimes, they are believed to include high target underage sex trafficking. Luring the rich and famous into compromising positions for the purposes of blackmail, or just simply supplying the rich and famous with the kind of degenerate and illegal things they desired.

So.. if you're a rich and famous or well connected person, and you are shown to have a relationship with a person like that, the only thing it can possibly lead to is a deeply disturbing insinuation.

Epstein was a monster, and he was supplying a huge network of monsters, we need to find out who they are and deal with them.

Its great what Mozilla is doing but I would like them to push for this to be made system wide and provide the tools to set it up rather then doing it in the Browser only, and I say that as a lifetime Firefox user.

In systemd there is currently only DNS over TLS and there is a security issue open about that. Also not sure if there forced setting has made it into stable.

The distinction of aesthetical merit and other notability works for me with movies. I watch a meh film if it's of special interest for me, but I know what I'm in for (unless I choose not to spoil it). Also I don't really need a ratings site for such works, since I'll hear of them anyway.

However, now that I think of it, more books are read for reasons other than entertainment and aesthetics. In fact, for nonfiction books I'd prefer a different rating: an inverse of bullshit-o-meter. Might still be doable with a critic-ratings aggregator, especially in highly subjective cases like ‘Atlas.’
I can’t help to think that there is some force to attack Boeing for some reason. I remember a few years ago, several malfunctions on airbus to the point we decided to no longer use it in our fleet.

Anyways, there the undeniable effect of climate change / extreme weather. Planes have to catch up to security standards so no lives are lost. Silly to point fingers at companies like it’s their fault. Industry needs to move as one towards safety.

> Pixel phones get Android version updates for at least 3 years from when the device first became available on the Google Store.

> Pixel 1/Pixel 1 XL: No guaranteed Android version updates after October 2018, no guaranteed security updates after October 2019.

https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705

but I've been running Android 10 for a couple months now, since the beta. Pixels (all of them) are the only phones that could be enrolled in the beta. In general, they get new features first, for example the offline voice recognition in Gboard https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/12/googles-new-voice-recognit...

The new Pixel 3a XL has only slightly better Geekbench scores than the Pixel 1 XL (347 vs 307 respectively), so at least there shouldn't be any performance reasons to not support this phone for another 3 years.

So, officially, not anymore. Unofficially, I'd baselessly speculate for another year? But you're right, I take back my recommendation. Security updates must be guaranteed.
