It is an interesting vulnerablity.

But the one advantage of ILS against such attacks is that each site is separate and to try this at scale would require lots of co-conspirators. It's not similar to a GPS or other system-wide exploit. Also, I guess you would need a highly directional antenna setup to be able to track a plane and overwhelm the legitimate ILS signal (i.e. why is that weird van parked here).

Attempt this at even one airport and you'd have law enforcement / FAA on you very quickly with a penalty of getting sent to federal ass-pounding prison for tampering with life-critical navigation systems.

> The growing confrontation between the West and China seems to me to boil down to a philosophical problem ... Should free markets/societies/cultural entities allow participation by all actors, even those which (in their own spaces) obviously don't play by the rules of the entered market/society culture?

You're missing one of the major points: freedom. The issue is not just weighing the utilitarian pros/cons of allowing diversity of thought. In the U.S. (and generally the west), the ability to think and do what you want is valued as an important individual right that each person is entitled to, regardless of whether it's good or bad for society as whole.

True, and a clear sigh that it was chosen by misinterpreting the data sheet [1].

The way the author trims the output voltage is also wrong: these small modules come by default with the trimmer feature enabled, that is, if you need a voltage different from those written near the pads just leave the pads alone and use the trimmer.
But if you need one of the fixed voltages available, then before soldering the corresponding pads, the re's a thin track that needs to be cut in order to disable the trimmer so that a vibration or touching it by mistake won't affect the output (small trimmers like that one are the weakest point in every cheapo module). The thin track is just left of the "ADJ" pad; if you look closely it closes the trimmer pad to make the board adjustable by default so it has to be cut to use fixed voltages.

Also, the chip used in the regulator module is a MP2315 whose safe input voltage can be between 4.5 and 24V, which is ok for a 12V input like in the photos, just to add some data since it wasn't specified.

[1] Never, ever, ever, ever base any project on the absolute maximum ratings of any part. Especially when they're completely misleading as in this case: the 2A which the 1n4148 should sustain (it can't) are related to a peak surge of 1 microsecond, and not even close to the continuous current which is a fraction of what a Raspberry PI can draw.

Charging $3 dollars will mean you $2 of profit with 50% of your customers, and $0 with the rest (as they won't buy it). The coupon strategy will make you $3 with 50% and $1 with the rest. The cost of issuing the coupons themselves is small.

Not only is the coupon strategy twice as profitable for you, more customers are walking out of your store paying a price they were happy with, so you've likely got higher consumer satisfaction.

Hence why price discrimination is somewhat win-win.

I do think there is something hypocritical in us pointing fingers to Brazil for destroying the Amazon forest. In Europe, most forests have been destroyed in the past centuries, all for economic gain. If we are so concerned, why not rebuild those forests. Apparently we are not that concerned, we still make the same choice for economic gain, just like Brazil does.

Because most real world value systems amount, in practice, to rule-bounded utilitarianism, rather than purely non-utilitarian deontology.

> Legislation, by and large and particularly in the United States, is driven first and foremost by principle, rather than utilitarian objectives.

Utilitarian objectives are a set of principles, and while they are usually qualified rather than pure, they are very widespread set of principles and virtually every advocacy campaign appeals to them for that reason.

You are simply wrong if you think most public support for or opposition to legislation, in general or in the US specifically, is based on moral principles that are completely divorced from perception of utilitarian consequences.
A core is just nuclear fuel with enough other parts that it can be handled. Of course there needs to be a control mechanism for adjusting the output, you just can't use that for eliminating heat output. Once the core has been turned on there is decaying fission products producing heat, that is why you can't turn off a nuclear power plant in an instant, and why you might want to get rid of the core. Unused cores can be stored with few special precautions as the unspent fuel decay too slowly to be a major hazard.

The ship would carry one small nuclear reactor, and several tons of coolant/propellant. The only way the cooling system is actually going to keep up is by ejecting the hot coolant into space, which is also what creates thrust. You can't recycle the coolant as there is no efficient way to cool the coolant.

In effect, if you don't want to dispose of the core you have to keep the engine on consuming coolant/propellant, depending on a lot of factors that may or may not be viable.
While the basic message is probably true the way the article is so economical with the facts that it rightly belongs in the trash.

The one example it cites is for a species of moth from the Balkans. Last time I checked the Balkans were still part of Europe so this species of leaf-mining moth could be expected to colonise more northerly parts of the continent as the climate warmed. So no real surprises there. It's probably happened in the past and yet we still have horse chestnut trees.

Other weasel sentences such as "The study said 42% of the 454 tree species in Europe, which include some found elsewhere, could die out on the continent." So "some found elsewhere". What percentage are found elsewhere? Where exactly is elsewhere. Some species are probably very widespread indeed so losing a few at the edges of their range are inconsequential.

The real story here is Europe's fragmented habitats means that a lot of trees are going to have a hard time adjusting to climate change - there's nowhere to go. Pollution puts a lot of stress on trees - remember acid rain? While there is a real problem with imported insects, fungi, etc. none of that is mentioned.

Seems that the easy war with China is not that easy. So now the WH is resorting to other means to put pressure on China. This will backfire as the WH is trying really hard to make US less relevant. By actively using weapon that were previously seen as a huge deterrent, you make them a short term problem for China, but they will find a way around them and make them ineffective. The WH is fighting will almost all major economies (apart SA, Israel, and brexit Britain), and it's going to end pretty badly. I will be very surprised if we don't get a market crack before end of next year.

If you asked most people they'd rather be able to live without having to do their primary employment, even if they don't mind their job. I'd say that's being coerced too, and sex work just sounds like any other job by that definition.

I think you can assess people without a pass/fail bias and turn it into a preference type interview.

1.) In terms of a daily schedule, on a scale from 1-10 how much are you a creature of habit?

2.) If you need a quick answer from a person 20 ft. away, do you send an email or walk over?

3.) What strategies do you have for completing tasks you don't like doing?

From my perspective interviews can be super biased.

Skill set aside, I think we naturally want to hire someone who answers our questions in the same way we would.

Reviewing Managed k3s from Civo
The West bulldozed its way through the whole world and imposed rules that benefit it.

The issue here is much less cultural that you might think.

China has been weak in the past couple of centuries and was thus on the receiving end. But as they grow stronger the rules will have to change to take them and their interests into account.

This obviously does not mean that we should cave in to everything. It means that they should have an equal say in the rules.

At the moment it's the US fighting China more than the West as a whole. It makes sense because it's US dominance that is under threat. The question is whether the US want to fight a losing battle or work constructively for the long term.

> The growing confrontation between the West and China seems to me to boil down to a philosophical problem

It is not West VS China, it is mainly US VS China. EU and other Asian developed economies might disdain China ideologically, but I don't think they have the appetite to break the status quo this eagerly.

And it is nothing philosophical about it. It is geopolitical, and it is human nature. What you are saying are just intellectual seasoning, it may be necessary to intrigue the audience, but not for action.

China is a new world power that competes with US both militarily and economically. Post WWII, US had fought with Soviet/Japan on those fronts separately, but China looks like a combination of both, makes it even more threatening and hard to tolerate.
I tend to agree. There is a plausible hypothesis to explain it too. Namely, that many social scientists don't particularly like doing statistics or calculations or that they are not naturally very good at it or that they are not very conscientious. None of these factors contribute to reliable analyses. People mostly go into social sciences when they are more interesting in people than in statistics or calculations.

A study friend of mine who studied an exact science ended up working in the social science department where he also was asked to teach some research methods class. Suffice it to say that even PhD students are not very good at it. Even at things where you would suppose they would be closer to their core competency, i.e., they were not that good at avoiding the pitfall of putting leading questions in a questionaire.

A single tree can be an entire ecosystem in itself from all the fungi, lichens, insects, mammals, birds, etc. etc. A loss of tree species means a loss of others too. A lot of migrants birds and animals depend on seasonal fruits and nuts as they move south so the effects of species loss can be very far ranging indeed.

While the idea that planting more trees to ameliorate climate change is a good one there is a risk that simple, ignorant, solutions such as planting fast growing eucalyptus or pine species could be seen as the fast path to success. Instead focussing on native species, which are slow growing in comparison, would actually solve the much greater problem that comes with climate change - habitat degradation and generate ecosystems that are generally most robust and able to withstand stresses better.
There is already a replacement for ILS developed and in use at a couple of big US airports and some international ones.

It doesnt make the graph any clearer in my opinion. the graph uses 3 different styles of value indicators. the background colored areas, the bar itself and the "target indicator".
discarding the "target indicator" and using intuitively understandable colors (red/yellow/green) for the background colors might help, but othervise i dont see this as a easily readable graph style. especially it cannot be read without prior explanation.
If the graph is being used regularely within a company or group it may well be used.
