Libertarian here.

How did I feel? Step out of the box, and imagine for a second that business and profit are not inherently evil. This is what we are told, every day by people like Warren. I believe profit is a reward for providing something people want for a lower price - and absolutely necessary to be in business. Profit is a function of efficiency.

The question rests in the in the notion that Government, (not motivated by the ability to make something people want for a lower price) will be able to do a better job than the free market in making tech policy decisions. It seems silly that a small team of government hired employees would know better than tens of thousands of Google, Amazon or Facebook experts.

Libertarians could view this small group of government employees as corrupt. Using their personal politics and authoritarian power to pick winners and losers - rather than let the free people pick real winners and losers.

So it depends on your perspective. Do you personally believe the Government can do a better job than the people?

Wow, your search engine project sounds really neat! What a cool idea.

Thanks for the tips re: Shakespeare and Hopkins. I'll definitely dig in there. One of the tricky things with poets like Shakespeare is that many of his sonnets' lines I personally wouldn't consider to be iambic pentameter. Take the first line of Sonnet 29 for example: if I were reading that without affectation I'd put emphasis on "When" and "men's," while iambic requires that those be unstressed.

I don't know if speech patterns were different enough in Shakespeare's day that it sounded more natural with different stresses than we'd use today, but if I were evaluating that poem blind and didn't know it was Shakespeare I'd give it low marks for requiring a relatively forced inflection. Just my opinion, though!
I would like even the bottom 0.1% of pilots to be able to recover the plane from a common hardware failure.

Rust actually benefits a lot from more threads once you have a couple of dependencies. A personal project using amethyst/nalgebra dropped its compile time for a fresh release build from 20 minutes to 2 when I upgraded from a i5-4670k to a r9 3900x.

There's plenty of people with the necessary skills outside of the private sector or outside of the SF/SV tech bubble. The key will be how they select the experts, if it's a revolving door from FAANG then we know it was all a sham.

I’m increasingly of the opinion that nuclear for space should be mined and built in space. Just launch the infrastructure needed to bootstrap the process.
I think they made a very outlandish leap and that resulted in hundreds of lives being lost. There is no room for assumptions when it comes to flight procedures.
Climate strike and AWS EC2: Using isitfit to improve our environmental footprint
isitfit is the fastest AWS EC2 usage analyser.

It's a command-line tool that runs locally without sharing any of your data. As of version 0.7, isitfit can:

- connect to AWS Cloudwatch and Datadog
- calculate the cost-weighted average utilization
- calculate recommended size changes of EC2 instances to better match with the actual past utilization
- dump tags in tabular format to a CSV file
- suggest tags based on identified keywords in instance names

These features make it easier for users to drill down in their heap of AWS EC2 instances and identify underused or even idle servers. Rightsizing these servers means that the same service can run for less cost and less electric energy.

To download isitfit, simply execute `pip3 install isitfit` from any python-enabled terminal, and then execute the isitfit command as follows:

- To calculate cost-weighted average utilization: isitfit
- To find underused instances: isitfit --optimize
- To dump tags to CSV: isitfit tags dump
- To get tag suggestions: isitfit tags suggest

For more details, check https://isitfit.autofitcloud.com
I'm troubled by it, but I'm troubled by a lot of things both parties have done, happens to be I agree with most of the objectives of the republican party over the objectives and platform of the democrats.

There goes my private data; thanks doordash for the leak
In my years long experience of looking into and building quiet PC's, going for a nice spacious case with a high-end semi passive power supply and putting in some smooth low rpm air-cooling in a nice open airflow path beats trying to go completely fan-less or god-forbid a water-cooled solution.

TDP would be useful if we standardized how it is measured, and at a whole systems level on standardized representative workloads.

Google has great customer service if you're regularly dropping $10M on ad buys - you get a personal sales rep who takes you out to expensive dinners and does all the normal wining & dining of high-end business. I've heard GitHub is similar if you purchase their on-prem Enterprise product.

That's my point about moving up-market: it's not that the self-serve product has good customer service, it's that they create a division within the company with all the customary trappings of B2B sales & support and then leverage their consumer product as free marketing & engineering.
Okay, but you're only looking at the (very minor) difference in user experience, without looking at all you're giving up. How easy is it to repair your A/C? If you can't or don't want to repair it yourself, can you hire someone other than Tesla to do it? Is not having to turn a knob worth having your car collect a bunch of personal data on you?

In accordance with Parkinson's Law of Triviality[1], the only discussion my post has generated has been about the experience of touch screens versus knobs, without talking about the more complicated repairability and security issues. My impression of Tesla is that they understand Parkinson's Law very well, and are working hard to get the color of the metaphorical bike shed just right. That's not to say that they're getting the nuclear reactor completely wrong, it's just to say that everyone's talking about the bike shed when the nuclear reactor is way more important.

At the end of the day, what I said was ultimately my preference, and your preference is your preference, and there aren't an objective arguments we can make that will change each other's subjective preferences. I'm just frustrated that the direction the industry seems to be going will cater to what you want, and not to what I want.

Don’t forget the pilot of the previous LA607 flight was able to recover successfully. Other pilot crew had more flight time, thus more experience. Look at NTSB crash data, experienced crews have a higher chance of lower fatalities in an accident. Why? Because these pilots understand their vehicle like the back of their hand. A 5000+ hour pilot has deep knowledge, for instance, of the hydraulic system of the plane and will try to e.g drop flaps to squeak out extra fluid in an emergency. Is this a good thing? Maybe. Probably. Is it sustainable? Like managing a growing server farm manually, probably not.

Planes are going to get dumber, but there will be a lot more connected planes for remote troubleshooting/control

There is no "insane short interest" in Tesla. Just because Elon might want you to think that it is some nefarious conspiracy and not Tesla's incompetency in many aspects of making a car (pretty much anything pother than making the best available electric powertrain, really) and his personal douchebaggery that are causing problems. That canard about Tesla being the most shorted stock on the planet since the beginning of times has been debunked so many times it's not evenv interesting anymore.

I have no interest in discussing your intelligence, but but once you start bringing out "shortseller fud" your credibility goes straight out of the window. Even claiming that Elon is behaving like a jerk because he's hiding from hit squads hired by Saudi Aramco would be both more plausible and make more sense.

The good thing is that it's currently impossible to game things I think. My blog is mentioned in this article. I post all of my articles on HN and so far I haven't noticed any pattern that would help me predict which ones will do well. The algorithm seems pretty robust.
>You have a policing problem for sure

Oh yes, more so when 37% of the police in my area haven't been veteted and leak information to criminals more than we have rain. But this is London.

Sorry, i'm running on a tangent and slightly off-topic and respect and acknowledge what your saying. I'm just more aware of the aspect that those 10 people that get away with crime can impact more than one innocent found guilty. What with all the privacy and civil protection laws, criminals do know how to game and play the system better than those who control and run the systems.

As for DNA - it should be default no, but equally allow those who want to opt-in and allow their DNA to be used to help maybe identify some genetic relative of a crime. But like most things - no clear cut solution and when it swings so far one direction, you end up with a powerless system that struggles to fulfill it's remit due to being buried in red-tape.
I like the idea putting expiration dates on most government entities like this (at least the ones not spelled out by the Constitution). I'd even go as far as putting expiration dates on many laws, regulations to force politicians to reconsider their necessity.

Selecting and then using passive CPU coolers. I am saying both the bracket and socket are important when choosing a cooling.

For example, when introduced there was no aftermarket passive cooling available for the AM4 socket.

Really of the 5 considerations “Does it fit the mounting bracket?” is probably the least important. Fitting the motherboard and case are mandatory. Fitting the socket and TDP have a little wiggle room. However, with mounting brackets you can generally get something to work as long as you keep firm contact and it does not wiggle around it’s fine.

I think your experience is common. I never had any trouble "hearing" meter in poetry (though I'm completely oblivious to time signatures in music, which feels like it ought to be very closely related) but know plenty of people who do.

One other practical impact of this is trying to learn languages like Chinese where a stressed versus unstressed syllable is very often the difference between two completely unrelated words.
Pilot training is critical. But having said that, the system shouldn't rely on there always being zero human and technical error.

Have you actually read all the statements he posted publicly on his site?

This conversation isn’t really about solving engineering problems it’s about whether Boeing’s posture on the matter is in line with Engineering ethics. Many people believe there was one or more ethics breaches here.

Your position seems to be that it was a combination of innocent engineering mistakes and substandard behavior by the pilots.

"At the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Soviet patrol submarine B-59 almost launched a nuclear-tipped torpedo while under harassment by American naval forces. One of several vessels surrounded by American destroyers near Cuba, B-59 dove to avoid detection and was unable to communicate with Moscow for a number of days.[11] USS Beale began dropping practice depth charges to signal B-59 to surface, however the Soviet submarine took these to be real depth charges.[12] With low batteries affecting the submarine's life support systems and without orders from Moscow, the commander of B-59 believed that war may have already begun and ordered the use of a 10-kiloton nuclear torpedo against the American fleet. The submarine political officer agreed, but commander of the sub-flotilla Vasili Arkhipov persuaded the captain to surface and await orders."

Reddit is a collection of mini-fiefdoms, and they are all run according to some rando's personal preferences. Not surprising you may not want to engage with a system like that.

I'm banned from both that sub and /r/conservative, having never posted in either of them.

We could have been twins, when I was in graduate school :)

At times I had (still have?) a cynical look at scientific publishing, that it was a symptom of a larger problem: the Peter Principle writ large. Professors and researchers are selected for one thing (their scientific ability), but their major job duties are for something else (here, writing; but also teaching and leadership). Select for one trait, but the job description is for another, and the output is dismal.

To further extend my cynicism: why would a PI follow Cormac McCarthy's advice? Do we have evidence that better-written papers are more "successful," with more citations and shares? My argument (based only on my experiences) is for the opposite: the language is secondary. "Skip to the figures," as I have heard.
Thank you for this, it looks great! I cannot wait for the improvements! :)

I can't help but notice that in the first video, the sensor switches from aimed to the right, to being aimed to the left as it tracks the object. Then, at the peak of left facing azimuth, the object coincidentally zooms off to the left in the direction of what I assume is airflow around the sensor. That sure sounds consistent with a piece of debris stuck to the lens cover, but I'm lacking a lot of critical information.
