I am not sure how consumers would react to a service like this. The real question to me is how much people value a brand. If Porsche and Cadillac weren't successful in this, why would Canoo be? Because they have an electric van? What if Tesla tried the same thing? I can't help but feel that without a major brand behind it any project like this is doomed to fail.

There is also something to be said with the fragmentation of costs with car ownership and the effect it has on the mind. It doesn't seem so bad when your insurance and gas are divided into 2 bills, but when you get the same cost in one bill it seems worse. Not sure if that's just me though.

If I had more time I would look into car ownership studies. It would not be good if human ego was opposed to your business model. A service as an inferior good (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_good) could mean that your company would be incentivised to lower economic prosperity.

tl;dr - Canoo has no big brand behind it. Is cost bundling or fragmentation better? Do people want to own cars? If people who can't afford cars are the only ones using Canoo are they incentivized to prevent them from affording cars in the future?

I don't think this is a fair characterization.

The runaway trim condition is not arcane knowledge. It's a standard part of pilot training and easily something the vast majority of pilots are well prepared to handle.

The issue with MCAS was that, while it was ultimately a runaway trim issue, it didn't look like it from the pilot's seat. The MCAS trim inputs were intermittent and came with no indication that the MCAS system was providing them. You also had throttle inputs and a whole slew of cabin warnings. The fact that the AoA disagree indicator was not standard shows just how little consideration was made to communicate to pilots.

Even with improved pilot training, I think a major crash was inevitable due to the nature of how the malfunction presents itself. More training doesn't make up for the obscure operation of MCAS or the fact that this failure occurs with very little time to react.

I'm in strong agreement that blaming the pilots is unconscionable. The pilots' action disabling the trim with the cutout switch, and then re-enabling it in a desperate bid to regain control of a badly-out-of-trim and overspeed aircraft speaks volumes. They were quickly put into a nearly-impossible situation and behaved reasonably, if ultimately incorrectly.

I find the latency of these things to be really bad, and the "wide-angle" view is never wide enough (and what is with all of the parking guide lines they draw that never seem correct?)

...but then most modern cars seem to have abysmal visibility through the back windows anyway. The rear view from a 20 year old Micra I often drive is excellent, much better than any of the more modern cars I have hired.

That is a good point, and I agree and would add cars, hammers, sodas, and bread mold. But acrylamide studies are all based on rat models to date. Human studies have not shown the same impact.

Welcome to the second golden age of jailbreaking.
not OP but I've seen preference given to candidates familiar with a particular technology only used by a single government office built exclusively for them.

Must be certified in (X) where certification courses are only available to government employees of a single government office.

Must hold clearances is by far the most common though and the only reason/way to get clearance is to already be working for the government.

I'd say by far the number one thing that keeps the cycle of nepotism going in government though is access to information.

Sure, an agency might be required to publicly post an RFP, but there are like 50 undisclosed qualifications considered and timing and whether you have a personal relationship with a particular individual within the agency plays a huge role. Often the only way around this is to bid so ridiculously low on your proposal that the agency head would be called out for not going with your proposal. This leads to a race to the bottom where people are climbing over each other to provide the lowest quality service to the government often overpromising and under delivering just to get a foot in the door.
How many advisory shares should I get?
My background: Was a c-level exec at a company that I was very early stage at. We exited for 700 million+, grew from 1 to 1000+ employees, raised 50 million+ in funding. I was already a millionaire from before, but I gained additional millions after the deal.

I've been advising a founder and helping him close a deal with my former company using the expertise I have and the insider knowledge I've built. The company has raised $20k at a 500k valuation when it was an idea. Since then they've made some revenue and partnerships but nothing significant. Founders have Duke and Northwestern graduate degrees and many years of experience.

I agreed to a monthly call/sit-down.

I'm asking for advisory shares and they want me on board, but I have no idea what's fair and makes sense.

Any good articles on this subject. Anyone out there who have advisory shares?
Thanks. I couldnt agree more. It would make sense if the bar was higher for adding control software than training pilots. To me it seems like the type cert problem was backwards.
I've said it before, but it's worth repeating: stallman isn't a pedant. he just uses the tool of pedantry to evade, play defense, or dodge critique; his goal doesn't seem to be clarity, but moving the goalposts when someone calls him out.

A pedant won't cleave to his own private definitions when they suit him ("You said drm, which I call digital restrictions management"), common language definitions when they suit him ("when someone says sexual assault, we hear assault and think violence"), and technical jargon when they suit him ("it's GNU/linux"). There's no seeking of understanding there, just someone being pushy with definitions however it suits them.
It's interesting you call out the three entities of employee, customer, and owner. I was just listening to a podcast about the failures of meritocracy[0], which mentions these discrete roles and how we've continued to neglect employees and their economic wellbeing.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding the map correctly:

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (literally the top of the list alphabetized by first name) spent $1.5 million on 9,576 ads, garnering 60 million impressions, mostly for fundraising, and it all started after she assumed office? And the ads are spread out across the country with California edging out her home state of New York?

What a weird coincidence - both Ocasio Cortez and Cory Booker placed more ads in California than their home states (New York and New Jersey), but Kamala Harris put more ads in New York than her home state California.

I don't know what this data means, I'm uncomfortable with Facebook getting heat when other tech companies aren't (because people think Facebook helped Trump), but this is a really interesting data set if you start to play around with it.
Probably all of the above.

We know microplastics are in the air, we know they are in aquifers, we know any plastic material municipal water is going through could result in micro plastic contamination just from wear, potentially from the filters they are running the water through before bottling and any plastic fittings or piping on that fill the bottles. It's wholly plausible it's a contamination of any/all of them in any given sample.

This makes it incredibly easy for me to deploy Elm web apps (which are all static). For a while now, my side-project's backend (Rust) was deployed in a Cloudflare worker and the frontend (Elm) was a Github Page (using Cloudflare for DNS).

Today I moved my frontend over to a Worker, and deleted my GitHub page repo. This is much simpler. Now I don't have to worry about cache rules, and I can use the same deployment tooling for the backend and frontend.

(I am a Cloudflare employee on a totally different team, and the project is a plaintext screenplay renderer https://screenplay.page)

Ads we see can already be increasingly targeted to a very narrow group of people, which is spun as "making the adds more relevant to you". Is it different when it's a slightly larger group size than one?
I had a feeling. No worries, happy Friday :)
I seem to recall that pg first posted a poll asking users whether they wanted to keep comment scores. Most said yes, and then he got rid of them anyway. That sticks in my mind because (a) I voted yes and (b) it was a striking example of following something other than immediate user feedback.
Well, I just opened the link and Facebook started showing ads related to "Marrying my partner", "Initiate sex", funny thing because I'm single
> Federal government employees try not to be overtly political, but they have a world view that is not necessarily representative of the country as a whole.

There's also the simple incentives argument: Why don't people trust lobbyists? Because they're paid by people/companies/organizations/etc who have (at the very least arguably) a vested interest in a given outcome, so it's hard to trust their motives. Wouldn't the same be true of a government office of "experts"? Wouldn't they have the same incentives to advance the agenda of those who keep them employed?
Right, I'm curious is some of the outliers at the high end were from older bottles that had been on the shelf longer.
Right, but again, what is "political"? A research group trying to sell their new whitepaper which just happens to have a provocative title and abstract? Commercial, surely? Any such definition will be worked around.

In at least a couple of European countries it is well known that unless your city has specific problems tap water is better than bottled water.

The reason being that (except some cases of corruption...) legal limit are much stricter for tap water.

Better in impurities at the very least, the taste is usually quite worse.
I'm very uncomfortable with this level of personal shaming. There's a reason most serious tech companies have adopted a "blameless post-mortem" culture. When you individually vilify people for mistakes, you create a culture of fear and kill initiative and risk-taking. Maybe you think everything worthwhile has already been invented, but I don't.
It's not "stolen", it's "copied". Biometric identifiers are a conceptually ass-backwards thing.
Yeah, I was under the impression they only came in glass so the fact that they have the lowest amount of plastic could implicate the bottle itself as the primary source.

Perhaps the low amount in SP is from that seal in the bottle cap?

> And what mistakes did ET302 pilots make other than trusting electric trim being reenabled wouldn't immediately try to murder them?

Like I told you before: overspeeding the plane, preventing them from restoring the trim condition with the trim wheel.

I get that if you're not climbing as much as you'd like, it's tempting to have a ton of power in. But the maximum airspeed of the plane is chosen because there are undesirable handling characteristics -- like not being able to manually retrim, or even worse things like aileron reversal-- above it. At some point you need to pull back power.

If you're out of trim because of electric trim misbehaving, turning electric trim back on may not be the smartest thing, too.

And then I can't even understand what happens next: if you touch the trim switch, MCAS can't do stuff for awhile. If they're going to re-enable electric trim, why didn't they then fully fix trim with the trim switch? How is MCAS able to actuate and worsen the existing out of trim condition?

Interesting. I'm kinda down on Artemis overall, as it seems like the whole thing is getting bogged down in political maneuvering, as usual.

NASA keeps saying it's more than boots on the ground, but all the plans they announce seem to be boots on the ground or overly complicated paths to the surface meant to please contractors.

This gem of a line from this week's Orbital Index kinda sums up why I'm preparing for disappointment:

>"Meanwhile, contractors (cough Boeing? cough) are pushing for the Gateway plan to be nixed in favor of… The Exploration Upper Stage, a large interplanetary upper stage (launched on SLS Block 1B) in development by (wait for it) Boeing."

Boeing and the SLS have taken forever already, and the version that may launch soonish isn't even the "real" SLS.
So let's not do it because it's hard? I think it's a ridiculous attitude. It's an instance of where people that have the ability to change things don't have the incentives to do so because they aren't the ones bearing the cost. This is one example where the government could do some good by creating a spec for an instant money transfer system and say that they'll accept it at all government institutions by some time in the future. I think people would then do the rest.
I find it funny that a cybersecurity company doesn't adopt HTTPS for their website.

Because it is also your family's DNA. It is an action that affects not only yourself. You are infringing on the rights of all your relatives to NOT be included in a public database when you do this. Honestly, you _should_ need my permission to post a photo of me on Facebook. You are selling my face to an exploitative company in exchange for access to their platform. You are giving Facebook worldwide non-exclusive license to do anything they want with my face, from using it in advertisements to using it to train facial recognition algorithms, all without my consent. It is pretty terrible how ignorant most people are of the potential harm they do to others this way.

The only way to know is measuring.

Personally, I don't ever turn my desktop off unless I know I'm going away for at least a week. I've been burned in the past by weird flaky things happening with OS standby and hibernation, so it isn't worth messing with. The other danger is unanticipated OS updates (I have Windows boxes...); I prefer to keep those on my schedule, where I can deal with them, and any resulting fallout, at my leisure.

At the end of the day, running my desktop 24x7 costs me like two or three cups of coffee a month, so I just don't worry about it. It's well below the threshold of things I can spare the mental effort to concern myself about.
I didn't notice any mention. Just a guess though, I've seen S. Pellegrino in plastic so it's possible theirs were.

You're performing numerator analysis there. You're comparing deaths irrespective of number of users, never mind their duration/frequency of use. For smokers, this would be pack-years, which is the number of daily packs times the number of years. There's the sheer volume of smokers, probably 10x the number of vapers? Hard to say, I'm not well read on the literature.

In any case, comparing numerators here is not good epidemiology, as smokers are far more numerous and have used for far longer/heavier use.

> That’s because Europe has a different historical and political context than the US though? Many of those policies would be correctly described as white supremacist if advocated for within the US context because the US is historically a white supremacist country and has organized much of its politics along those lines.

That’s a weird bit of bootstrapping. France colonized Muslim countries in North Africa, and then when people came to France from those countries the French insisted they learn French, banned religious symbols like hijab, etc. French language and cultural purity absolutely is a sort of at least cultural supremacy.

Likewise the success of right wing parties in Europe. They’re putatively nationalistic, but the strong anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant sentiments make clear they rest heavily on cultural and ethnic supremacy.

> Historically, Democrats have supported charter schools, privatization, and kept in place corporate tax cuts passed by Republicans, so I’m not sure this bears scrutiny. While there is an emergent left flank of the Democratic party, it is deeply at odds with the party elite, their institutions, apparatuses, and is stymied by them at most turns.

Democrats have a strong “party of FDR” trend, which is an anti-market, pro-regulation viewpoint. I’d characterize Clinton and Obama as exceptions, with the “Green New Deal” being a return to the norm. Meanwhile, Canada, Australia, and the EU have pushed ahead with deregulation and privatization under both liberal and conservative governments.

Canada, for example, is basically an example of Clinton/Gingrich’s government trimming and “welfare to work” being applied for 30 years: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcTNKL...

Trudeau, a liberal, continues to promise corporate tax cuts and deregulation. Public transit in many european cities is opened up to competitive bidding. Stockholm’s subway is privately operated. I’m not aware of any privately operated subways in the US. France has extensive privatized water utilities. Europe continues to embrace markets and deregulation at a level Democrats have not done since Clinton.

While it was probably a legal decision, I actually liked how it worked on an artistic level. As a reader I was trying to piece it together myself.
