While I agree, I think it’s worth teasing apart the “They” in this line of thinking. The conspiracy/Illuminati narratives imply a singular, unified cabal of power, which is a very difficult thing to achieve. But I think is more likely, is a loosely coupled system of mutual benefit with many players and imperfect knowledge, but all of whom are incentivized to (or selected for) not rocking the boat too much.

Elizabeth Warren’s quote comes to mind: “The first rule of DC is that insiders don’t criticize other insiders.” I suspect the kernel of truth to conspiracy theories is that various private cabals, from fraternities to Skull & Bones to Bilderberg, act as trust and secrecy filters, selecting for those who know where their bread is buttered, and therefore can be trusted by various elites, who have common interests despite being in direct competition for power, influence, and resources (“honor among thieves”). There need not be a singular group of robed masterminds; just the amorally ambitious pursuing their own interests.
In English too, you can retain something to have it, but you can technically also retain to mean "withhold," in the sense that you are keeping it secure or intact and refusing to divulge it.

It's not a very common usage in English though.

One thing about light weight drones is that they do struggle with wind.
They're useful structural elements even in the presence of oxygen. In fact they're better than steel because they form their own protective coating that doesn't flake off and expose fresh metal underneath.

The moon has other challenges, like the slow day/night cycle, radiation, and the damn dust.

Not at all! My job as a skilled manager is to look beyond people who are outgoing and help people who are shy get comfortable during the interview. I've become very good at this and have trained other managers to do the same.

A casual conversation where someone is purposefully trying to put you at ease is going to be more effective at seeing someone's true skill over a whiteboard every time.

There are also a bunch of very senior people that won't play interview games at all. Especially when they're an internal referral. If I refer someone to get hired, I make absolute sure that they are not put through a technical hazing ringer. I've seen senior people who were heavily recruited walk the instant they're put into "the process" under the very sound logic of: "You wanted me to work here, so why are you making this difficult?"

I like an analysis that includes operations and logistics, which is how long or large campaigns are won or lost.

>It is hard to avoid the conclusion that while Spartan tactics may have been modestly better than most other Greek states, Spartan operations were dismal, placing severe limits on how effectively the Spartan army could be utilized. You may have the best soldiers – and again, Sparta does not appear to have always had the best soldiers – but they are of no use if you cannot get them to the fight, with the equipment (e.g. siege tools, ships) they need to win the fight.

I think it's great you are working to better lives and applaud that. It's not for lack of effort by the truly good people that things are like this. It's not a failure of yours and those like you. The failure is of the selfish, greedy, narcissistic, unempathetic, etc and the system they built. Nothing is going to change in my lifetime, let alone the actual, short, practical time I have coming up to effect any change. The hope is gone and that's why rants are all that's left and even those get snuffed out when they can with arguments and voting. I hope you change the world with your efforts...I really do.
Hell, I'm glad Symbiflow[0] exists. Once the toolchain is a little more mature, a library of modules with OSHW licenses is bound to pop up, perhaps even integrated into some sort of IDE.

It was probably less a coincidence and more of SOP. The guards probably have to do rounds at set times (every hour, for example) and then post up somewhere between those times and most likely fall asleep, or do a crossword puzzle or whatever to pass the time.

As for electronic failure, I would say it's probably common as well. Just search for "Prison conditions in the united states" or "deterioration of prisons". Our prions are overcrowded and under funded. These things are usually reported in regards to the terrible conditions for prisoners (heating constantly failing, mice/bug infestations, leaking roofs, etc), but this also applies to equipment used by guards. We are talking about facilities running old facilities and equipment with minimum maintenance. Even if the camera's didn't fail (I am not up to date on the story, but I assume they both did?), I would be surprised if the quality of the footage was usable (or if it was even recorded).
Now im confused.
Did they order github to take it down, or make sure its not deleted.

Or is everyone confused because a critical meaning is lost in translation.
> There's definitely lessons their [sic] for the rest of Europe

Have oil, join EU. Got it.
I'm not sure. This feels a little like 49cc scooters (most states have 50cc license/registration requirements). The DMV in many states will look at you funny if you try to go register one to get a plate. It's literally 1cc under, purposefully, because it's "not a motor vehicle" - despite it having a motor and being a vehicle. Using the same logic, I'd argue this "isn't a UAV/drone", despite by all other metrics it looking just like one.

But I could see people going either way.
I still find the licensing requirement for hair-cutters to be absurd and hilarious. You need a license and very expensive schooling to _cut hair_.

Yes, the principle of European social policy is that you get out what you put in. The principle of UK/US social policy is that you have an entitlement to a small amount of money because you are a citizen (univeralism).

Because you seem to not understand some part of this: in Europe, if you make $100k/year and you lose your job the state will pay you a percentage of your previous income for a fixed period of time (and you then get nothing or put onto a long-term unemployed program). For example, 75% so you will get pro rata $75k/year. In the UK/US, if you lose your job you will get $x/year, regardless of your previous job and what you contributed to the system (i.e. it is redistributive...some people pay a lot into the system and get nothing, people who pay nothing in get the most...insurance doesn't work this way).

The history isn't worth going into but the European welfare state was invented by Conservatives. The US/UK welfare state was invented by Socialists. Practically, what most people think about the European system is almost 100% wrong: the US/UK welfare system is intended to intervene in the market, the European welfare system is not (and the Nordic countries are usually most strident about not interfering in the market, particularly Denmark which has very high rates of job creation/destruction).

Just to be totally clear: what most Americans are being sold by Democrats is a total fiction. There is no alternative to the market. Every country that has had politicians that tried to outsmart the market has failed (the Nordic countries did this in the 80s, they were bankrupt by the early 90s). The US already has the most heavily redistributive social policy anywhere. If it isn't working, that doesn't mean you need to go further.

And yes, that is why I suggested you read about it yourself. This is seminal - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Worlds_of_Welfare_Ca... - but social policy is perhaps one of the biggest areas in comparative politics (because the importance of context/history is so evident).
Developers, developers, developers? Maybe that was just Ballmer's kink?
After reading the first one, "on spartan schooling" I'm a little sad. I understand the point of casting a more clear light on the alien and brutal practices of ancient civilizations, but the distaste and condemnation that the author uses evokes British colonizers talking about their subjects, combined with a tinge of social justice history revisionism. One of the central concepts of anthropology (and I think, by extension, history) is that you don't judge other people disjoint from you in space and time with your cultural norms.

History has been awful and brutal every year since we began writing it down, and well before that, too. I think it's wrong that this means we shouldn't admire the more interesting parts of history.

That's actually a surprisingly great price.

Only thing I'd be worried about a bit is if they have the potential to go the same way as GoPro. DJI reminds me a lot of how GoPro was a few years ago.
That makes a lot more sense thanks.

I moved from the country to a city. Its been four years I still feel like this!

Out in the country I was five minutes walk from lochs and l forests. I used to be able to leave the house and walk for twenty plus miles and maybe see a handful of people. Just me, the outside and hours of alone time.

You dont realise how much you miss that! Now in a city with no car and its so hard to get away from everything. Jusy to get away and clear my head.

Yeah, I live alone but sitting inside my house unable to get out and away from life can feel so trapping.

One day ill get back.
I’m going to have to disagree. Anyone in pharma or med devices can tell you that major innovation is basically outsourced to venture capitalists, where if successful through clinical trials (always a big if), it can become acquired. This is not a method for radical innovation, e.g. a device to stop a hazardous insulin metabolic response to digestion versus the current insulin-pump market.
I'm trying to understand the logical contortions involved in justifying that headline. Clearly they're not the unqualified "biggest market in the US", they're not the biggest market of travelers, I guess they're the biggest group of solo travelers when divided by gender? So a more accurate headline might be "slightly more women travel solo than men"?

The USAF is able to deal with latency issues when controlling and targeting drones on the opposite side of the planet, though I do believe they use local people with line of sight connections to handle takeoffs and landings.

I don't see why something like their systems couldn't be applied here. Well, other than the fact that you'd need the resources (see: cash and massive satellite network) that the USAF has...
Considering the plethora of bullshit like news and podcasts I find littering my plex home screen, I agree with your point.

To understand how things work at Epstein levels of elite, look up and watch the interviews with whistle-blower Ronald Bernard by Cooperatie de Vrije Media. Be sure to watch the first two interviews in full.
Is Vespa working outside the rules/spirit of law of state DMVs by selling scooters that are 1cc under the requirement for motorcycle registration/tax/license? It seems like a pretty good analogy to me, with the main difference being a federal/state authority.

I'm really not sure; and I could see arguments either way.
The way the altitude limit is imposed is idiotic. It doesn't factor terrain height, so flying around mountains is impossible.

I've been flying various multicopters for a decade and the mavic pro was the last DJI product I'll ever purchase. Every software update for DJI products restricts their functionality to a subset of what they shipped with. This has been going on for years. People buy dedicated phones/tablets for their DJI product and keep them in airplane mode to prevent this. That's nuts.
That would be neat, and would come out somewhere similar to a Pi 4 (which are pretty awesome).

Note that the Pi 4 has ARM processor cores, but ARM doesn't make either the processor chip or the board. Broadcom design and make the BCM2711 SoC, and the Raspberry Pi Foundation designed and manufactures the board.

No doubt SiFive would be very happy to work with someone who wanted to make retail SoCs and/or SBCs using the U84, but as with ARM it's not really their business model to do that themselves.

SiFive has made several low-volume chips and boards for potential core IP customers to use for evaluation and development e.g. the $999 HiFive Unleashed. ARM similarly offers a $10000 dev board for the A72.
Yeah the shorter version of Ken "Popehat" White's thoughts are: middle class white people have no fucking idea how shitty the justice system is.

And it's true, based on the replies to this post. No one who says Epstein's suicide was a "practical impossibility" has been anywhere near the justice system. They definitely don't know anyone who has been on the prisoner side of it.
Just to make a note it seems that this one has two types of batteries one that weights 50g and one that weights 100g.

If you use the heavy battery you go over 249g I’m also not sure if their flight stats were measured with the heavy one or the light one I’ll bet that they are with the 100g battery.

This means that under most conditions you’ll likely have 8-10min of flight time with the light battery since the advertised max flight time is often 30-50% over real world scenarios with these drones.
I’m also very curious about this. I have several ideas for niche websites that I would love to build, but I want them to be sustainable without awful adware
I want to know how big the motors are going to be compared to the Mavic Pro. I've flown 5" race quads that were <250g and working against the wind can be a constant battle if you have gusts >10mph.

Traditionally DJI drones have had very underpowered motors so they can get those high flight time numbers; seeing the 30 minute flight time quote here doesn't give me much confidence that it will fly well with anything other than perfect wind conditions.

I can't wait to tear one apart and see what kinds of compromises/trade offs they've made compared to their larger drones.
> I suspect if we make cops accountable and change their training to quit fucking shooting people at the drop of the hat

That's called sensitivity training and its widely deployed in the richer areas... but poorly deployed in poor police departments.

Sensitivity training, Diversity training, De-escalation training, etc. etc. Police departments know about this style of training and have names for these programs. It costs money though, money that not all Police Departments have.

If you think your local Police don't have enough sensitivity training (or whatever), either talk to your local Mayor, or local Sheriff, or police commissioner, or board (every town's political structure is different), and try to push more of it. There's probably budgetary constraints involved, but I don't think anyone's really against the idea of good training for their local cops.
People who thought this were widely scorned as “conspiracy theorists”.
I didn't mean to restate your point. I think you did not understand me at all.

I was saying that the people you think want everything to be a meritocracy, do not. The minorities that want equality do not want equality at all and the system is starting to give them preferential treatment.

This is a perfect example of how corporate greed (and a political system that now mostly exists to support it) is ravishing the American people. After decades of obvious abuses, the company pushing OxyContin is finally being stopped, but no one is going to jail (see: https://www.npr.org/2019/09/19/762455218/as-drugmakers-face-...), and although the company is bankrupt, we're merely locking the barn door after the billions have escaped.
Police shouldn't engage in high speed chases if you're concerned for innocent's safety

Police in the US are responsible for about 1000 firearm deaths each year, and getting increasingly aggressive towards innocent Americans

Police militarization increases this aggression at no benefit to the public

If the police blew up my house and offered a snarky apology after escalating the situation far beyond what was necessary, I'd be angry. Your question isn't simple, it's leading.

It's too bad that we, as a society, haven't yet found any solution to this band of insane, armed madmen roaming around destroying whatever and whoever they want, stealing whatever they want, and generally doing whatever they want with no accountability whatsoever. And then there's also the guy holed up inside the house that's a minor issue. One day, we may join other civilized countries that can actually control their police rather than letting them run rampant, terrorizing the population.

> Consider the guy blindly opened fire on the police, things could have been a lot worse had he kept the boy.

Yeah - the boy could have been hit by a projectile, much like that 2-year-old in Georgia who was burned by a flash grenade thrown by cops into his crib. Just one more reason to avoid this kind of destructive approach except when absolutely necessary.

My (Chileanized) Castilian is pretty rusty but I thought your translation was in line with how I read it. Instead of "withhold" I would say "hold onto for myself" ; as in "Retener mis derechos". The broader context seemed to imply preserve the records as in don't delete anything as we investigate, but I can see how it could be taken the other way. In the sentence as written what word would you use in place of retener if you meant to be clear to stop dissemination or publication of the content?

Edit: In place of "la retención".
The third graph showing the % of trips by foot, bike and car is amazing. Almost 50% of trips .6 - 1.6 miles in NL are by bike and the percent falls fairly gradually for longer trips. I wish I could see this data for other countries.
It is a country of about 5.5 million people. Most of the people are of same race and culturally quite similar. With enough government income they can certainly do and in fact doing a lot of societal good.

This is not possible for either countries with low income or large cultural or racial diversity because there is big difference of opinion on what is good for society
If it's just one company doing the mining, there's no reason to crash the market. Hold 100x the world's annual demand for platinum and sell off 1% per year for 100 years. 20 Billion times 100 years isn't so bad.
From what I've read, the two broken cameras story is just that "two of the many cameras in the area" were broken. At least one camera was actively recording the area outside his cell and they have the footage and it doesn't show anything interesting.

Sure, you can, but pricing laws won't change the fact that there is more demand than supply. If anything, it will make things worse.

There has to be some selection. With free market, the selection is about how much you can or are willing to pay. Cap the rents and other criteria will be used. In many cases, more or less legal froms of bribery will make up for the gap in value.

Another common thing that happens when rents are capped is that landlords are going to make sure that they are only renting to the rich, because the rich are less likely to default. How are they going to know that you are rich? Obvious ones are to look at your bank account (privacy?), but unfair criteria like race can also be used.

You can also become communist, have the state take all housing and redistribute them "fairly". I think it is an area where communism actually works, but it probably won't be well received in the US...

Not being familiar with this author, the biggest reason I dismissed it is because I didn't see any kind of honest discussion that, well, maybe fundamental particle physics is just harder now, in that that next step of what can be probed by experiments isn't actually possible by humans, now or really ever (e.g. requiring a particle accelerator with the radius of Pluto's orbit, etc.)

So instead you get all this hand-wringing about the process, about how theorists come up with elegant math that isn't testable, yada yada, without at least an honest statement that "It is at least possible that the universe's final secrets will never be amenable to human inquiry."
It would be interesting to split out the results between regular bikes and electric ones, now that they are becoming very popular. On an electric bike, distance is much less of threshold for choosing bike over car, and e.g. weather or ‘amount of stuff to take with you’ become the main deciding factors. Maybe electric bikes could bring opportunities for US cities where everything is far apart?
