Not "Listen To Your Heart", but "It Must Have Been Love", which had been released as "Christmas for the Broken-Hearted", but since the film doesn't play around Christmas, they had to rename it.

The lyrics stayed the same except for "and it's a hard Christmas day" --> "and it's a hard winter's day"; for some reason the winter here didn't matter.

No need to set up an experiment, look outside of the U.S. at Rio de Janero. High rises aplenty for the middle and upper class, and the working class living in favelas straight out of the middle ages but with high voltage power lines. That being said, living in a favela is probably much more comfortable than what we deem acceptable for our economic underclass: living in a tent on the street.

Yep. Next time you fly, look through the cockpit door as you board for maintenance tag-outs -- usually red flags with 'INOP' labeling, most likely on the circuit breaker panels above the pilots. The Gimli Glider incident occurred partially because of a circuit breaker tag-out in the 767 fuel quantity indicator system.

Aircraft manufacturers and regulators produce a Minimum Equipment List which stipulates what is required for flight. If you get your hands on one for the plane you're on, you might be surprised to discover what _isn't_ on it and what is permitted to fail.

Stanford is not a good proxy bc the students were well funded before the loans poured fuel on the fire.

Loans help increase the cost of schools with lower social economic status (middle class) schools like state schools.

Loans allowed many schools to charge private costs for public education. Professor salaried have risen, cost structures are too high to support unloaned demand.

Alternatives if you don't want to risk missing some file that only gets loaded 10 minutes in:

1. Start with a small base image, e.g. for Python there's "python:3.7-slim". For Python I'm not a fan of Alpine, but for Go that gives you an extra small base image (see https://pythonspeed.com/articles/base-image-python-docker-im...).

2. Don't install unnecessary system packages (https://pythonspeed.com/articles/system-packages-docker/).

3. Multi-stage builds (in Python context, https://pythonspeed.com/articles/smaller-python-docker-image...).

You can find similar guides for non-Python as well. Basic idea being "don't install unnecessary stuff, and in final image only include the final build artifacts".
Maybe instead of continuing to build housing in uninhabitable places and having the taxpayers foot the bill when disaster strikes, we could build more housing in places which are habitable, like the west coast, the New York metro area, etc.

Heh, amateurs. Let me tell you guys a story from my country, from 90's. So in those years cell phones started to become the norm. You know, those Nokia brick types (which had like 1 week of battery in them before requiring charging) but the service was like this. You would call your contact then around 4 or 5 rings will give you plenty of time to close the call, and after that a voice mail message would inform you the contact was not answering and inviting you to leave a message. Problem was that if you went that far, then you'd pay for those seconds when the automated voice mail be initiated just like if your contact would've answered. So far so good. But one CEO of a cell company decided he wanted money. So randomly, he would enable the automated voice mail message to enter just after one ring. Now, individually that was not expensive, around few cents for each subscriber, but on the whole network this would mean for every hour this trick was pulled the company would win one million dollars (yes, you read that correctly).
This was my thought on seeing the regulation as well. Although it may have been better to mandate panels leaving room for expansion instead of mandating a 240v outlet.
I hate this line of reasoning so much. It completely ignores how trust works. As an organisation, you cannot simultaneously build a reputation for worthless anti-journalistic click bait, and serious real journalism at the same time.

I think one way to think about it is:

Almost anyone can turn $1 into $2. But if you want to turn $100,000,000 into $200,000,000 you can't just do the first thing one million times. Maybe it's easy to find 1 customer, but one million customers will require different approaches.

> Individual workers are in a weaker negotiating position than employers

Are they? In normal conditions (which seem to largely prevail in most parts of the U.S. labor market), the negotiating positions of both parties are fundamentally determined, not by either party, but by unrelated 3rd parties who are participating in the same labor market. Employers would like to pay as little as possible and employees would like to earn as much as possible. But the ability of both parties to achieve their desired outcome is dependent on their ability to walk away and obtain a better price (whether they're buying or selling labor).

If you compare spec for spec with actual server/workstation grade hardware, the price premium is small or non-existant.

Once you leave the consumer grade category, the prices go way up. Xeons, server motherboards and ECC are not cheap.

This is an actual pro level workstation for video and audio. It's not a consumer or even developer desktop. And relative to those markets, it's priced competitively. For example, a basic RED camera setup will run you at least $20-30k, easily.

Dye packs are used by banks which are insured by the government to make it easier for the government to catch criminals and recover their money through seizure/forfeiture (after which they can replace the dyed bills at low cost). The dye pack directly serves a victim of a bank robbery, i.e. the government.

A dye pack doesn't serve the victims of a break-in well. The owner's car and valuable gets splashed with dye and need expensive cleaning or replacement, and the owner's insurance doesn't have much practical opportunity to recover damages either.

What might be useful is a device that outputs arbitrary bluetooth codes and has a built-in tracker... although a police department might find it more cost-effective to just buy some real devices and install trackers on them.
Legitimate news organizations are neutral. Buzzfeed News wrote 65 positive stories about Obama, 35 neutral, and just 1 critical.

How a “legitimate” news organization only had a single critical article on Obama out of 100 articles written can’t be considered “legitimate.”

All legitimate news articles should be neutral and objective.

Well that's not exact, Bravo it's free.

Also Bravo doesn't generate any code at all, it's built with Swift and Kotlin, but it's a nocode platform, where you get the final packages (ipa and apk), but not the code.

Also Bravo allows to add all the backend and API logic from the same tool, so it's pretty fast to create a working app with API calls.

Twilio has a WhatsApp integration. It's paid per message, but it's pretty cheap if you're just forwarding a single user's messages. Probably a bit expensive to do at scale though.

There's no way that computers (which have only gotten cheaper over time) and networking is why it costs nearly 50k/year to go to a private university.

The only way to ensure the neighborhood doesn't change is to own the entire neighborhood. Otherwise this is just individuals using the government's power to control what others do with their property.
I just wonder sometimes about the rationale behind some of these tests like coronary artery calcium scoring, where it is relatively new and we don't as much data about how useful it is to measure year to year results as an accurate prognosis indicator. We do have data that it can be used for risk stratification for heart attack and stroke, but as far as I know there is a lot less data on getting serial examinations in a way that ends up being more useful than the initial one, but maybe that research is being done.

I found one commentary on a paper evaluating it:
https://www.reliasmedia.com/articles/139983-utility-of-seria...

It probably doesn't matter, but getting a CAC does involve a little extra radiation each year, so I kind of worry about what benefit you are getting: ie hypothetical benefit of monitoring risk vs hypothetical risk of radiation exposure.
This observation is incomplete. The problem is not the absence of more sensors. It's that, in order to quickly produce (and sell) the 737-MAX, it was changed so much that its behavior was fundamentally different than that of the 737.

The MCAS system, which was dependent on those two sensors, was developed to compensate for the degree to which the plane behaved differently. And Boeing underplayed how much the performance of the new plane had changed, and hid the existence of the MCAS system from commercial plane pilots, to the point where it wasn't even in their manuals.

Had Boeing behaved ethically, they would have told the FAA that the new 737 required pilot training. But that would have diminished sales and hurt Boeing's stock price. That's the managerial misbehavior that many of the commenters in this thread are remarking on.
