I don't see how this is unsalvagable, unless there's some other issue with the planes that hasn't leaked yet.

Maybe stuff a third AoA sensor somewhere and add sensor voting. At least read both sensors and complain. But, most importantly, clearly indicate when MCAS is activating and allow the pilots to disable it without disabling electric trim, and train the pilots.
> I only kind of "got it" when I did something nobody would recommend anymore, and learned QBasic, and wrote a bunch of ghastly code with goto's all over the place and practically everything being a global.

An aside: It's okay to learn that way, when you're 10.

A lot of my own big programming revelations have come from ignoring best practices and accidentally trying to implement or construct them from first principles once my problem becomes unmanageable.

"Doing it wrong" is an even better teacher than "doing it right all of the time", because the mistakes you make can lead you to a deeper understanding of why things are done a certain way.
Salmon don’t climb water jumps just because they feel like it, like hamsters using wheels. They migrate; and sometimes rivers are how they migrate.

To raise “buff” salmon, you’d need something that looks less like a fishery, and more like a private river with the upstream pointed in the right direction for their migratory instincts. And, since they wouldn’t want to turn around at the end, you’d need to pick them all up and haul them back to the beginning so that they would swim it again.
If you actually take the SAT, you realize that the content is very easy. Instead, its just a test taking strategy test. Who had the better tutor. It doesn't test any 'real' skills, only how well they can bubble answer sheets.
> It seems it's a much safer/cheaper/simpler/reliable option to purchase a vehicle designed from the ground up for an electric drivetrain and all of the nuances that go along with that.

Cheaper? Have you seen what electric cars retail for? How are you comparing this to the price of conversion?
Hey that's a first... a motor that is actually a motor.
There's solutions out there but it's a chicken and egg problem. They're more expensive because of low quantities because nobody wants to commit to them, but if the industry as a whole would switch them you'd have economy of scale to make it competitive. There's also multiple solutions so it's a question of which one to go with. This would also be a good initiative to subsidize but instead we give those for sugar products and gas.

> Er, wasn't the one-word cause of the American Revolution "taxation" ?

No, “disenfranchisement”. Read the Declaration, it was about usurpations of the right of the people to govern themselves. “No...without representation” is the key part, not “taxation”.

That's been inverted for propaganda purposes by modern anti-tax activists.

But, in a any case, “slavery” would have to be the Civil War, the Texas Revolution, or—indirectly, by way of the previous item—the Mexican-American War.
I think there are a lot cynics here, but they should take the test before you really understand why SAT/ACT is stupid as an admission req.

A a paraphrase of a kind of self-deprecating but insightful comment from a ML prof I heard: There’s a lot of hype around machine learning, but it can’t really do that much. If you want to see what it’s capable of, check your Amazon recommendations. Sort of works some of the time, and other times offers you complete nonsense. Amazon has very smart engineers and the best algorithms and tons of data. This is about the limit of what you can currently do.
Pretty upsetting that it's used to mulch. We're intentionally putting and think it's a great idea at the same time, go figure.
The jargon term is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purinergic_signalling.

Personally, I find “Cell Danger Response” useful as a term to specifically reference one type of purinergic signalling. One which, yes, the author you link to is investigating, and invented the “Cell Danger Response” term for; but one which was already known as a type of purinergic signal (and an interesting, unique response to said signal) before their work. Their contribution is mostly in the disease linkages, not in providing evidence that the purine signal+response they call “Cell Danger Response” happens.

So, in other words, even if they’re P-hacking, the worst setback science might see is that these syndromes don’t turn out to be ameliorated by CDR-inhibiting enzymes after all.

However, I would note at least one distributed experiment by another “author”: the nootropics community has adopted https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulforaphane as a seemingly-effective treatment for the symptoms of autistic spectrum disorders (to the point that, with only their interest, it has become a common supplement with many available brands.) While we don’t understand sulforaphane very well, various journal papers suggest it has a role in modulating purine metabolism; and so the amateur biologists of the Internet have hypothesized that it is likely “cleaning” purinergic signalling molecules out of affected tissue for long enough for the cells to “relax” and stop screaming at one-another.

Neat. But still going to require a bunch of custom machining to adapt to the existing drivetrain and engine mount, and will need a custom box for battery, designed around the car chassis; plus DC-DC converter, charger, and computer systems.
It’s not worth worrying about. If there is no such thing as free will, there is no point in trying to do anything (such as carefully choosing words to be consistent with the non-existence of free will). For simplicity, might as well live my life and post on internet forums as if there is free will.
They evolve but often are still constrained. USB has evolved but it still forced a type-c connector that still has limited adoption in the market. ATX has evolved, but it is still largely the same form factor it was 20 years ago. The more interesting form factors for computers (like intel's NUC) are eschewing the standard form factors.

I think standards are valuable but they definitely can stifle innovation.
I seem to recall an old text file on programming with just debug.exe - I thought it was an early phrack magazine article - but I can't seem to find it now. The idea was similar to 5a here:

I've ended up using neither tags nor "topic" folders (besides few folders in toolbar): for retrieval I rely on titles (names) and URLs alone. Every time I bookmark something I evaluate its title and URL, look for missing terms my future self could use, and then either reword the title or add raw "tags" in the end. Extraordinary bookmarks I supply with several * proportionally its extraordinarity (and make sure names contains no such sequence).

It serves me well: using native bookmarks search accelerator [1] in url bar * , keywords and 'rating system' allows me to for example quickly pull "best personal blogs of people writing about javascript":

* *** javascript guru

I understand your worries, IIRC there used to be bookmark "description" field that was just recently removed (I've used it maybe twice) and if tags are globally used like this description was, your concern could be quite relevant. If need arises, perhaps some sqlite-fu could transfer tags to titles, at least.

I used to work at a hatchery raising steelhead and coho salmon. The number of adults we could take from the river for spawning were limited both by how many we could find and by the department of fish and game. Importing genetics from other rivers would introduce those genes into the wild fish population, and should really be avoided. Most fish return to their home stream, and are specially adapted to those conditions. “Adding more genetic diversity” is something everyone wants but is not necessarily easy.
> That's a tad too nihilistic I think?

Not at all. At least not how I perceive it. I'd characterise it as existentialist rather than nihilistic thinking.

Knowing that death is inevitable for everyone, even god kings such as Gilgamesh, can serve is a constant reminder to try and create a legacy that transcends yourself.
I can’t speak for the author, but one reason not to use data for logic is that you’ll end up building a (difficult to use, buggy) programming language in your schema. And if you’re going to do that, why not just use a programming language, which is a lovely way to encode logic?

I would turn the question around on you: why would you put this in data? If you have too much boilerplate, just refactor your code.
Could that be because when inflammation cures disease you don't get to read about it because nobody even looks to a healthy person?
TBH, I haven't written any real games, and the simulation work I do is in finance, so if we have an account, it's really just an account. But securities and accounts and such are all well-defined abstractions that lend themselves very well to direct representation in code, so my experience is not representative.

Maybe it's possible to be less misleading, but I still think it's a mistake to try to write a tutorial that tries to present basic concepts in the fashion that production code is written. There's just so much stuff you do in prod that is not relevant to the concepts you're trying to convey.

> I only kind of "got it" when I did something nobody would recommend anymore, and learned QBasic, and wrote a bunch of ghastly code with goto's all over the place...

I learned on a C64 when I was a kid, too. I'd absolutely recommend learning structured imperative programming before OOP.

It is important to look at the overall body of research available on the matter.

What you have linked has no placebo-arm to compare to. In addition, only cells from 6 patients were tested. Furthermore, this is for extremely resistant CML patients who do not respond to imatinib (first line treatment).

However, the introduction of second generation TKI inhibitors is now the standard of care in imatinib resistant CML patients.

I haven’t referenced any particular pubmed entries since there are 6 or 7 second gen TKI’s, however, this reference by the American cancer society gives a good summary of available options.

Where? It's just not true that relatives are getting jobs unfairly that they may not have the skills to do. I don't think you understand what nepotism is.

> Foreigners are extorted and mistreated as a rule of thumb

If there's a tiny perceived wronging by a foreigner, the press is ready to blow it completely out of proportion and completely misrepresent companies who in the end decide to let it go instead of suing the press, for risk of looking even more like the bad guys in the eyes of people like you. Again, I think you've taken a headline or a TV piece out at face value and formed an unfair opinion on innocent business leaders.

How did you get to that number? The electrical load varies wildly depending on what you turn on and what you even have available on the particular car. The same car with the exact same electrical devices might have wildly different engines, down to the fuel used. How would that percentage apply to the whole range of combinations?

Just the seat heating would have a huge difference on the electrical load for 2 otherwise identical cars. The 10% can't be a constant.
I think the view of many of these supposed cynics is that the alternatives are even less consistent and are more conducive to biases and corruption than a standardized test, even if the test is not optimal in measuring someone's academic abilities. No one is saying they're perfect.

I have taken both tests and while I clearly found them imperfect (as with virtually every test), I would also say that they're far from useless or "stupid" as a requirement.
The challenge is that the environment that is predisposed to produce teenagers with a well rounded educational foundation and well developed critical thinking and studying skills... tend to be affluent households that can afford to move to areas with great schools, and send their kids to a constant stream of extracurriculars.

That’s not to say it’s impossible to succeed in adverse conditions, but it’s inane to pretend conditions are on average not more adverse for certain populations.

There’s a fundamental question of identity some colleges are struggling with. To put it in exaggerated terms - do they want to be ivory tower institutes of learning, or do they want to be a kaleidoscope of all of the next generation who do not want to go on to trade work?

For people who want to go to college purely for rigorous academic study with the brightest young academic minds, this is going to be a shift. The populations will be formed less so based purely on that narrow selection criteria.

It’s a progression which has been happening for decades, but as it seems in many things, the rate of change is accelerating.

The article says it's top ranked schools but then gives a list of a lot of lesser known colleges, for profit mills like U. Phoenix, a whole bunch of theological schools, Yeshivas and Talmud institutes, trade colleges, and bottom tier state colleges (for example for new high school grads, CSU is test optional but UC is not).

Yes there's also a handful of colleges that are known.

Most the ones listed it's understandable they don't mandate the tests and rely on other criteria or are colleges that simply have very high acceptance rates. Also most of them, like all the theology and trade schools, have never mandated the tests so there's no real change there.

For academically rigorous schools just because the test is optional doesn't mean you won't need a stellar application and recommendations in order to be accepted if you choose not to send in test results. Also doesn't mean you won't completely lose out on very helpful scholarships that have standardized test cut off points.
The issue I've observed is that those on the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum are put at a disadvantage when these are given higher weighting. The teenager with wealthy parents can participate in (expensive) extracurricular activities like team sports or take summers off to volunteer... not because they're virtuous, but because someone along the way told them it's a good way to pad their admissions applications.

Meanwhile the brilliant high-school student without parents who can afford these things is less likely to participate in activities requiring investment in equipment or logistics of getting to/from events. Instead of being able to spend a summer volunteering on a hospital ship off the coast of Africa, they're working retail to save up spending money for the year or reduce their student loan burden.
What do you think happens to “social programs” aimed at families if the government defines a family as a man and a woman and not a gay couple? Or less than 50 years ago as a man and a woman of the same race?

These are the same “social programs” that treat drug abuse as a “disease” in rural America but as something to be at “War” with in the inner city. We can even go as far as the same people who hate “subsidies” when it applies to health care love it to prop up farmers.

Even the EPA is more concerned with protecting the affluent neighborhoods than Flint Michigan.

The government has proven time and again that it can’t be trusted to do anything fairly.
Not trying to convert you back to Buddhism, but if that's you only objection, I have to tell you Karma does not require rebirth.

In fact the Buddha refused to respond one way or another when asked what happens to us after death.¹

Karma can be seen as operating from moment to moment. It's easier to think of it as 'past conditions', i.e. the initial conditions that led to our current state.

This applies physically as well as psychologically.

I didn't mean to imply that the linux driver is of poor quality. It's just a matter of the kernel's inability to schedule "soft interrupt" handlers with low enough jitter to guarantee the hardware is serviced fast enough. The MCP2515 certainly doesn't make it easy as it only has two RX mailboxes without FIFO semantics. It's kind of funny because any old 8-bit MCU has plenty of oomph to reliably drive an MCP2515 but rediculously powerful 64-bit SoC boards can't handle it.
So that actually sounds like a way we can’t solve it.

I just redrew his SVG in Illustrator. 593 bytes. Then I ran it through ImageOptim, which is a frontend to a bunch of jpg/png optimizers and svgcleaner, and got back a 279-byte svg. His is 306. Mine includes the XML namespace his drops, and writes out the path definitions in a very different, more succinct format.

It helps that I know to uncheck "save with Illustrator compatibility" so it doesn't cram a whole text-encoded .AI file into the back of the SVG; I also drew one 5-pt polygon instead of a pair of 3-pt triangles.

Which does not invalidate his core point about "holy crap some machine-made files are stupidly huge". But hand-writing SVG is like trying to hand-write assembly for a modern CPU - collectively, the people who wrote the compiler probably know more clever tricks about optimizing code than you ever will.
