First, lets be clear, I dont agree/support violence and this is an intellectual exercise.

But thinking about it it could be quite useful as an intimidation tactic.

If your rival biker clubhouse got hit by an RPG followed by the message 'we have a few more', it could really make people think about committing acts of attack on a group when another RPG is their likely reply.

That said, using against a police station like these guys considered seems stupid. Something like that would never make the police back off, and only throw ever more resource against these people.

The other use would be straight terrorism. One of those into a crowd or building would be horrific. And could be amplified if the group did one then said more are coming type thing.

Anyway, amazing the army didn't have greater control on these. At least fire them at their end of their shelf life for practice as these things cant be cheap. I imagine controls are significantly increased today.

> I think the issue is that where GPS is available it can definitely put that plane down. Maybe it's not the world's greatest landing due to GPS inaccuracy, not right on the centre line, ...

I wonder how this will change when the L2, L5, and L1C signals start becoming used from the GPS III satellites.

Also, in the US, non-GPS/Navstar signals cannot officially be used for anything, though I think Galileo was recently (finally) approved by the FCC:

* https://www.gsa.europa.eu/newsroom/news/fcc-approves-use-gal...

(The issue was something like: once officially approved, the frequencies in questions cannot be used for anything else, and are protected.)
Yes- intellectual dishonesty is at the root of this. When I was raised, the integrity of a "man's" word was a measure of the "goodness" of the person. Now, we hear things like "he said what he had to say" and a basic acceptance of lies if the person is on our side of the debate.

It's depressing.

> we assumed ... that there is no correlation between genetic
factors and the shared environment

I'm no expert, but that seems like the biggest issue. I mean the study says that income is heritable, which by its very nature would affect the environment that right?
Kind of weird how anti-climate change-consensus AfD and other right wing parties are.

German polls suggest that the population is very supportive of the energy transition, so it seems oddly anti-populist to take such a position.

Which suggests they're probably getting funded by fossil fuel interests and/or Russia.
As a Frenchman who greatly benefited from free Universities I was about to verbally tear you a new asshole, but I don't actually disagree as much as I thought with what you wrote and I appreciate the time you put in writing a nuanced take.

Point 3 I think is a given, social aids should be given proportionally to the financial needs of each student. The fact that I paid almost the same as a child from a poor family as some of my friends did while being bankrolled by their parents is not normal.

Point 1 I agree but with caveats. The issue is that ROI is hard to estimate. If you just use "money" as the metric then you end up with only shallow education system where only the rich can afford to study the classics and everybody else has to be a good little drone. Money doesn't quantify social good, and an educated population is a good thing to have even if not everybody is an engineer. Maybe a set of scholarships should be set aside for the students willing to sacrifice themselves to fill that need, and the rest of the available funds be divided among people who have a career plan? It might cut down on the number of kids going into biology, psychology or business administration as a place holder until they figured out their life.

Point 2 is even harder because I was a barely passing high school student, but I now have a PhD in computer science and I teach in a Russell Group university in England - high school performance is a piss poor indicator of academic ambition, and should not be used as a proxy for it. My personal opinion is that conditioning funding on effort, rather than results, would be a better thing - show up to classes and do the work and the funding will keep coming even if you have a few setbacks here and there. That's already in place in our current funding system in France, but the administrative cost means that there is often a one year lag between the student completely slacking off and the CROUS cutting off their stipend.

Curiously, he still has 'center core' issues even at this scale.

His rocket is '3 tubes' each with their own motor. The motors produce large thrust, so much that the energy is more than enough to break the three tubes apart if not applied in a very coordinated manner. To make 3 rockets into 1 rocket is a central issue of this design! Just like the big ones.
But Catalonia would still help them via European Union. And in general money is not that relevant on this topic, at least on the catalan side, as it was just a few years ago.
> I would go further and always recommend manual DI - that is passing the objects and creating them in code rather than depending on some magic framework to do the job.

That is so weird. The reason why we have DI and DI frameworks is because we are asked in requirements to make things configurable out-of-code (and at runtime), because someone wants to use a pretty UI or a config file of sorts to set up which behaviour is used to do $thing.

> The apple store always distribute apps under a proprietary license. So even if the code is open-source, if you install it on your device through the apple store you are still installing proprietary software.

There is something to the saying that FOSS advocates are never satisfied. The alternative here isn’t a FOSS-distributed iOS app, it’s no iOS app at all.
No, if you are listening to angry hate boys, yes if you actually look into it.

The binary needs to be signed off but Apple does not require a review to sign your binary, only to distribute it through App Store.

So to run your code you create an account, the free version has a shorter validity time frame I believe which means you will have to re-install the app once it ends, set up your signing profile on your developer tools and you are good to install and run any code you want.

You can have a torrent client or app that messes around with private API or whatever. Your code is signed locally, Apple wouldn't know what you are up to.

Apple needs to pay off the influencers to spread the word I guess :) At least, I think they need to take some effort to break the "greedy Apple corporation vs the generaous Google charity" narrative.
LETS KILL SOME TREES!!
Maybe a coincidence, but Cirrus Aircraft announced their SafeReturn Emergency Autoland on their Vision Jet series today as well [0]. Looks pretty impressive. A passenger can just press one button on the roof behind the pilot, and the aircraft will send a distress signal, re-route and autoland the aircraft at the nearest airport (including terrain and weather avoidance) and also convert all screens on board to inform the passengers how to use the radio for comms etc.

Not the OP, but yes I imagine that's what they did. But Mail would probably be created further up (probably at the top level in the main function), and passed to send_alerts, rather than created inline.

I use this approach in all my Haskell/Scala code, and it works really nicely. I have never once felt the need for some magicy DI framework. I just pass the dependencies via function arguments. If it becomes too bloated, I group dependencies, or rethink my design.
>but what happens when...

You handle those things manually by setting proper inputs to the normal non-emergency autopilot or flying without autopilot like you would in any other aircraft equipped with an autopilot that is capable of landing. I assume "one off" approaches are a non issue because they are using a database of supported airports with the necessary approach details since they change slowly and the list is short enough. That's traditionally how this kind of thing is handled.

This is not a replacement for a pilot and is not portrayed as such.

I'm not really sure this is 100% true. I recently got a fight confirmation email and immediately started getting "things to see in LOCATION" push notifications from Google maps. I'm not sure of course that they really read my email, but it did convince me to look at alternatives.

These kinds of statement make me question whether you have ever worked with any framework that is not under your control.
If you think his associates were fucking children or involved in the prostitution ring, just say so.

If you don't think that, well then we do have to hem and haw about how much guilt by association they carry. Because for a lot of people, business connections or rubbing elbows for money with bad people doesn't get much blowback. Just look at Tim Cook gladhanding dictators of nations where homosexuality is outlawed. Or manufacturing in countries with ethnic concentration camps.
A house IS a simple thing - it is not the case that you only have a few companies in the world that make a "good one."

To me the thing that separates rail from cars or other vehicles is that they have the advantage of having railroads, and so I would think that they can make additional assumptions that cars can't. They don't need the steering column for example, or make too much fuss about differentials.

And yet, the fact that cars are commoditized, but there are only a few good rolling stock companies in the whole world makes me wonder what I am missing. Maybe the demand/volume is just so low that there is no opportunity to commoditize or create a huge market.

>"...the share of variance of lifetime earnings explained by education is clearly less than a tenth (in our data). This comparison suggests that the variation in lifetime earnings that can be attributed to genetic variation is not negligible and warrants attention. The results of our auxiliary analyses also suggest - but do not conclusively show -that removing the effects of education on the lifetime earnings of the cohorts we study does not change these heritability estimates."
I am hopeful that between MS's financial commitment to the suite, improved JS performance in the browsers, and a set of practices coming around, it will reach parity in the next few years. I run Linux and while I miss features, I can do my job in an O365 org rather than having to have a mac or run a windows client for office suite.
I think that part of the problem may be that people are richer in ways that don't make them happy or give them meaning, and poorer in ways that do.

Most notably, it seems to me that owning your own house and land would bring a much greater sense of autonomy, accomplishment, control, etc. than more consumeristic things like TVs, video games, fancy food, etc. (not that its bad that those things exist).
Marc Bloch has been a hero of mine since I first encountered him in my late teens. He was an early practitioner of a movement away from the “great man” view of history, studying everyday medieval life and then teasing from that surprisingly significant insights.

Then with war brewing he engaged in the resistance, as what is the point of the study of history if you don’t learn from it and act?

His writing on contemporaneous events towards the untimely end of his life was so sympathetic just as his historical work had been.

The marketing videos say the airport needs to have a published GPS approach.
Only in part as the victim said he spent over 400K restoring he place.
Yeah, we would notice it, but that's not the point of re-running these kinds of experiments.

Just look what humanity was able to do in the Space Race with "computers" less powerful than an ordinary standard wristwatch of today: going to the moon, surviving there and coming back. Today? If it were not for SpaceX, the US would not have a path to access to its own manned transfer capability.

If we do not use abilities, we lose them. Knowledge gets forgotten, data bit-rots, machinery rusts apart.
> I like Protonmail more, better, cleaner webUI, focus on privacy, nice app... but it's really really expensive.

Have you considered something like Mailbox.org instead? It's also privacy-focused, European-based, allows custom domains, and starts at 1€ / month without any yearly commitments. Also, no proprietary stuff and much less marketing crap.
And all of this is unfortunately actually hate speech in Denmark because you can’t have stats on races.

In the case of the mountain, the avionics have a terrain database built in, so it can follow an LPV WAAS approach from a fix above the terrain.

I don't know if this can deal with the engine out, but in theory there isn't any reason it couldn't. There is an IPad app called "Xavion". With an engine out, Xavion will calculate an approach for you follow to a suitable airport, based on the aircraft's best glide speed + required runway length. Interestingly it doesn't use the published best glide speed and stopping distances, the app uses your flight history to figure out the aircraft's actual best glide and stopping distance.

That's right. You can never target just one of a police force. When you attack one of them, you're attacking all of them. So often overlooked by criminals.
Depending on the country, there are significant requirements on the "box" regarding how much it compresses end-to-end in case of accidents. "Crush" requirements are in the range of hundreds of thousands of pounds of force, IIRC. They are especially high for passenger cars operating on the same tracks as freight.
Question: how close are we to totally self-flying planes? I feel like we could easily get there before we got self-driving cars, if we wanted to.

Would the costs for short hops be comparable to a commercial airplane ticket? Because it would be awesome to charter small flights from an app to jump to a nearby city.
I'm a 1000x more productive when I have a support group that I spend time lots of time with. Usually that support group comes from being at the office with co-workers. If I retired and didn't find a support group I'm pretty confident I would not stay motivated.

It's not just having people around either, it's shared goals and shared responsibilities. I'm more productive when I know others need my work. We could be collaborating on a game at a game jam where the game designer needs me to add some new settings they can tweak and the artist needs a way to get some new data in the game and iterate. That pressure is very motivating for me.

But, for me at least, it's both the feeling of wanting to provide solutions for other team members, the feeling of a shared goal, and the feeling of camaraderie I get from actually being with people (vs being remote)

I've been lucky the majority of projects I worked on were things I wanted to work on and see succeed. I can imagine lots of projects where I wouldn't feel that.
Often excludes official action like the police.
So, I'd left out some details that I thought were not relevant to the main point, but apparently that lack of detail is distracting. I'll add it back in.

The institution in question is a small private university. Not one of the ones you've heard of, but they are at least somewhat comparable to that tier in an academic sense. E.g. I know people who turned down an MIT or equivalent to attend, and they often compete with that tier for grants. The class in question was normally a third- or fourth-year class (the school was pretty flexible with that sort of thing), with fewer than a dozen students and a professor I did not previously know.

The social engagement was not a frat party or something. I would not have gone to something like that the night before an exam. Further, I didn't drink in those years anyway, despite being of legal age. It was (I know I'm dating myself) an old friend's last night at home before being deployed in the Iraq war. I drove home, and a bunch of us got together to send him off. I drank soda.

Finally, on the question of fairness, the professor did acknowledge this. My score on the make-up was capped to a maximum still less than that earned by anyone else in the class.

Even with all of those caveats, it still was something I would not have thought to ask for. I apparently also taught the professor something that day, and he said that going forward he would tell his students up front that he's willing to work with them on that sort of thing.
It's more fair to say it rarely happens and when it does it makes the news.
This video by Vsauce really put it in a way that made it stick for me.

I think "panic" is a segment between realising you're in danger and responding, eg "running". Panic is when you know you need to respond quickly and come to a conclusion as to the best action, but you know you can't wait for your thought process to play through.

Once you decide to move, run (if that wasn't an instinctive response), then panic is over and action has ensued.

It's the "beachball of doom" bit that happens when the you spot the lion. Do I fight, or hide, or run, ... {computing best response, please wait} ... it's the wait in that parenthetical bit where your supervisory control systems say "argh, this is taking too long, in going to get eaten".

Surely?

The dictionary.com definition has it as "overwhelming fear that causes a sudden hysterical or irrational behaviour". Running from a predator is rational, or instinctive.

I still stand by my original comment, it would have been nice to have the type of plant studied included in the article and or in the synopsis of the paid article.

"The plants used in this study are Arabidopsis thaliana" was this information in the story and I just missed it? Or are you making that assumption due to that being a "very commonly used model organism in plant biology"?
The plant image used at the top of the article looks nothing like rock cres but instead more like some sort of hosta or lilly pad, I wonder if the image plant is shaped that way to catch and funnel water away from its roots? Just as a palm does the opposite?
Anyways I could go on, just wish they had included the species in the article.
It almost certainly is explained in good part via IQ. IQ is strongly heritable and explains quite a bit of earnings variance.

Not sure what's racist about that though. It's just reality, facts about humans.
