Your response to my comment was flagged, but you seem to be laboring under some misconceptions here. While biology is what it is, the mapping from biology and other factors to social categories is determined purely socially. Categories and labels are not true or false, they are socio-political processes that can uplift or oppress minorities just like other such processes.

I would recommend reading "THE CATEGORIES WERE MADE FOR MAN, NOT MAN FOR THE CATEGORIES": https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/11/21/the-categories-were-ma...
Honestly, every sensible business tries to limit the data it has that cannot be monetized or inform business decisions. And in this respect, big companies are opposed to governmental covert collection since it limits the company's portfolio of clients, probably hurts their own security, and requires them to do shit that don't turn a profit.
> Anyone can increase their lifestyle to meet their income, pile up debts and then claim they just have to do whatever bossman says because otherwise it'll all unravel.

And anyone can go from doing well to living in their car.

When I was younger, I was doing well for myself. I wasn't in debt, I rented (no mortgage), happily newly married. And then the economy dropped out from under me and I lost everything. My job, all my savings, etc. We had less than a month of (cheap) rent left in the bank. Eventually, my wife and I had to move so she could take a job further away. She was still in grad school and had to travel 90 minutes each way to meet with people at the school. That was because I couldn't find a job that would support us (after over a year of looking). We didn't have to compromise our morals, but we did have to make a decision that sucked for us. Because shitty things happen.

My family and I are back in a good place now. But I recognize that somethings things fall apart no matter how well you plan, and I don't judge people based on the decisions that felt they had to make at such times. I may disagree with their decisions, but I don't believe they are bad people because of them.

If you get a chance, watch The Wave. It's a good example of how sometimes even normal "not bad" people can wind up making bad decisions.

>That is Apple lying about what they are doing.

That is a ludicrous interpretation of that statement, in my opinion. Apple is being told by the government of a nation they're operating under that the law has been broken and that those things happened. What is Apple supposed to do in this case? Tell China "we don't believe you" and then what? You think China is going to change its tune? Or do you think Apple can get away with saying "Ok, fine! We're not going to do business here!" with zero repercussions?

This is not Apple lying. This is Apple making public what they were told by the Chinese government. Apple is not the bad guy here. China is.

My mother had a knitting machine interfaced with a BBC Model B over a serial connection.

It had four colours of wool, and the knitting area was about a metre wide.

It was like this (video), but the program in the machine would automatically raise and lower the needles according to the wool colour required for each line.

The result is the first computer program I ever used, age 2 or so, was the knitting pattern editor. I think it was the simplest drawing/colouring program, since you just had a large grid with 4 colours.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aEzZ6TdpcQ (I think this is a cheaper machine. My mum's could change the wool colour automatically: it would beep when this was required, and you dragged the thing (shuttle?) to the far side, where some mechanical clicking would happen and the wool in use would be swapped.)
No, they'll delete the data and say they have none.
Has to stem from the rise of the individual. My sense is that in the east, the collective takes precedent. Individual liberty is not sacred in that world, so freedom isn’t either.
Probably not, but are emotional responses the correct criteria for rational decision-making?
If an airplane, even one like a Cessna, is trimmed for straight and level, if you add full power without retrimming, you can definitely stall the airplane. Power-on stalls are a thing, in fact responding to them correctly is a fundamental training task taught in the earliest days of flight training.

If I take a Cessna Turbo 206 in the landing configuration and apply full power with no other input, you can stall or even spin the airplane. Critical factors include the position of the center of gravity.

The point is that you might be misunderstanding one of the critical rules of aviation — a stall is independent of speed or power, but entirely dependent on the exceeding the critical angle of attack. A stall can occur at any speed and any power setting.

I guess we have different concepts of "center of attention". Having to report back and justify yourself once a week is definitely too much for me.

My favorite is the complexity of having an in-tree changelog that lists (shortlog) commits under appropriate tag headings - checked in under appropriate tags.

It roughly amounts to:

1) commit fix (git commit -m "fixes #foo bug"

2) get hash/shortlog, add to changelog

3) commit changelog referencing commit in 1)

4) tag hash in 3) with new minor version 1.1.2 to 1.1.3

5) realize you forgot that 1) warranted a bump in minor version, edit changelog to reflect new minor version

6) commit new changelog

7) move tag from 4) to 6) - hope you didn't push yet...

And people say RCS $Id:$ was a hack...

Now,the real issue is actually to find a nice way to tag actual releases, with current tag and hash. I realize this is mostly tricky when a project is "checkout and run" - without a build step (eg ruby on rails project). It's still somewhat painful to make sure there's an up to date global variable that correctly reflects the running version.
Apple seems to love doing this too. It's just great when it decides to update iMovie and iTunes, huge apps which I have never used, when your battery is at 30% and you're on a terrible WiFi connection. It's hard to tell that the update is in progress at all, and seemingly impossible to stop.

Took me a while to figure out how to remove the apps I never intend to use and disable auto-updates for the ones I do use. It can be disabled yeah, but the auto-update is the default, and I have a feeling it will get mysteriously turned back on at some point, and I won't notice until it kills my battery at an awkward time again.
Hopefully it takes less than ~50 years which the airline industry took to get to that point. Seems that this would need to become a popular opinion before becoming reality.
I won't claim you are doing this intentionally, but I find it strange that you care so much about being (in my opinion) rather pedantic in this way? Don't you think it's perfectly reasonable - as a bystander and not a member of the legal profession - to apply your imagination over what ought to be and not the semantics of what is? And to engage in a debate on that basis? Do you really think that whether or not judges are free to ignore precedent has any effect on how Catalans and Spaniards feel about this decision? Or am I missing the point of your comment?
A wonderful and informative read, thankyou!

I'm reminded that I need to read his Catalonian book.
We have a clearly observed and measured rapid global warming in the last decades. So whatever mechanism might counteract global warming, it obviously allowed the rapid warming to happen and unless anyone can present a plausible model why the counteraction should get stronger than any further warming, it won't prevent further warming.
I would be very surprised if Chinese leadership isn't extremely cognizant of the necessarily short term thinking forced upon corporations (quarterly/annual earnings progression) and politicians (re-election) in Western democracies, and putting a massive amount of strategic thinking into how to best exploit this without attracting too much attention. Neither the corporations or politicians are going to be particularly motivated to draw attention to it, and public concerns on individual issues like this are typically ineffectual, I think they will be able to get an absolute massive amount of mileage out of this weakness.

Honestly, I think the West's best defense is young otherwise powerless people on the internet making memes mocking the irresponsible behavior of people in power.
What are you actually defending here? A version of capitalism that is imploding under the weight of usurious debt, that considers widespread homelessness around the bases of empty "investment" apartment towers a feature and not a bug, that bankrupts half a million families a year because of health insurance sharking, that is regularly implicated in unquestionably immoral scandals and corruption (Boeing, opioid sales, Enron, S&L...), that is linked to violent wars and oppressive regimes around the world, and has also been the single biggest driver of climate change, and climate change denial, in the last century?

Do you really think these are somehow justifiable with a glib "But socialism!"

Anyway - the Scandi countries do a nice line is social democracy, which includes policies that seem to be considered outright socialist extremism by US standards.

This exact thing happens when someone undertakes a refactoring without a clear concept of which factor is being separated. I now avoid the word refactoring and say I'm factoring 'thing'. If you'd factored it right the first time you wouldn't have to refactor it. That's not quite true sometimes things can factor further or choose a different factor first. Deduplication isn't factoring unless it's named and salient.
Just on your specific point; the US is a bit of an outlier on coal due to protectionist practices around the coal industry.

If you look at Europe on the other hand coal is in rapid decline (9% decrease 2017-2018 for example[1]) with many countries now being coal free.

In the UK we measure coal free time in weeks now. I expect us to be coal free for good in only a couple of years.

In some countries this is a straight switch to renewables but but often I think it's a staged switch through natural gas.

That would be great, but it would suck and everyone would hate it. Also, you have merely traded the big corporation devil for the government devil. The best compromise is to have the market decide on the platform (for quality control) with some government oversight (to keep abuse in check).
The rate of change isn't unprecedented. In fact, most of the times the earth has come out of ice ages, similar to now, there have been rates of change in temperature similar to ours now.
I've been very specific in what I was saying - and I have been clear on the definition of stability.

That said I accept your comment and would happily be corrected, but everything I have seen has stated that there is no inherent instability in the design of the 737 Max.

What I have seen (and is widely reported) is that low speed high AoA may have increased the possibility of stall compared to how previous gen 737's behaved, but we're again not talking about stability as I've been clear to define it. That increase in the possibility of stall appears to be the reason why MCAS became more powerful and operated at these critical phases of flight.

It would obviously make no sense for Boeing to design an aircraft that was unbalanced. That would increase drag and reduce fuel efficiency. It's also understandable that the large and more powerful engines, plus their slightly further forward positioning, would create a slightly higher nose up pitch when compared to the previous 737's under certain phases of flight/flight configurations. That's not to say it made the aircraft unstable or unflyable, but it would suggest a reason why MCAS might be shoved into action there, in another attempt to recreate the same handling characteristics as the previous generations.

That seems far more likely to be where the greater authority for MCAS came from (it would need greater authority under that flight configuration/phase of flight).

It's also far more likely that there was a simple screw-up and MCAS was given too much authority and too little breadth of input.

Every bit of evidence so far suggests a fight for compromise over retaining type certification and use of MCAS. Nothing suggests inherent instability.
They may not have had access to them, other than what would be in the ROMs.

There weren't standard digital art tools in the early 80's. Things may have been physically drawn on graph paper, manually converted to binary, and then the drawings disposed of or otherwise inaccessible due to things like contracting situations, etc.
I have one of these, but honestly haven't used it enough to assess it. It seems well made and bright enough to make a difference without being intolerable. I think it draws 14 watts.

As has been proven by other companies recently, so long as there is a "catchall" clause in the terms, anything you do has the potential to be against their terms.

All you can ever really do is hope to not be caught up in something Google (or its bots) considers "bad".

Is there a name for this type of argument? I've seen it a lot with certain types of people, one that ignores any logic from the discussion and uses a sort of trap that makes you appear insensitive if you try to argue it? Is it appeal to pity?
No, it doesn't. Slightly less than half of the discretionary portion of the budget goes to defense programs. The discretionary portion is only about 33% of the total budget, meaning defense programs take about 16% of the total budget.
