Mine don't, and my car is pretty new.
The problem is: I leave my wipers on almost all the time, rain or shine. With automatic wipers, there's little reason to turn them off, so I end up just leaving them on most of the time, and then when I get splashed by a passing vehicle going through a puddle or something, the wipers will automatically clear the windshield.

You wouldn't want the headlights to turn on all the time when wipers are on automatic mode. Now why they don't turn on for regular modes, I'm not sure, but probably consistency: if you don't turn them on for automatic mode, but you do for regular mode, then that's going to be too confusing for the driver. Maybe they should come on when the wipers are activated in any mode and stay on for a certain number of seconds (by "stay on", I mean actively clearing the windshield, not just waiting for water to appear). But this might be too unreliable in practice?
To each his own. I took it as him admitting his failure at "doing a good job," and his son's mental health struggles as just being a kid.

You are conflating quite a few different things here and leaving out some key players at the same time.

NASA & ESA are not the same as Boeing & Airbus

Launch vehicles are not the same field as "space travel"

Spinning up entities like JPL is a non trivial matter in either civilian or commercial domains.

Spreading the engineering challenges across a wider array of organisations would not expedite their solution imho. Just thin out the available resources.
Before OCR'ing it converts to black-and-white using a brightness threshold. Keeping an evenly lit background is particularly important, because otherwise a shadow area can easily fall under the threshold of all-black.

A license or ID will almost certainly have medium-contrast elements in the background that will show up as dark. But if you were able to manipulate the contrast/brightness appropriately in advance, you could probably get it to work.
Thanks for the feedback. Do you mean the code syntax highlighting colors, or the dark blue UI colors overall, or both?

What tech stack I used to launch a successful product as a solo developer
Here's a pretty good tutorial [1] (albeit a bit old) on how to price credit default swaps using a typical Bloomberg function. This kind of esoteric fixed income calculator is what makes Bloomberg so dominant. Otherwise, you'd have to write all of this crap in Excel just to price a relatively simple product like a swap.

Best way to see what the terminal looks like to look up help and documentation for it. Google things like "Bloomberg SWPM tutorial"

A cynic would say that quite a few of the books on the non-fiction best-seller lists are never read, and so cannot deteriorate through use. I can pick out four or five at least on the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times_Non-Fiction... that I doubt may purchasers or recipient have read past page 50. Should it be forbidden to resell them?
Not a hint of attribution to new-media clickbait farms, the head of which is Buzzfeed, who've eviscerated attention spans, long-form journalism and its funding, and pumped the internet full of low-effort, divisive content merely created to generate outrage for ad-clicks.

>What you think doesn’t count very much anymore. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Most people with power try to take advantage of people like yourself. The people running the country don’t really care what happens to you. You’re left out of things going on around you.

All of the above will increase with more exposure to what is going on in the world, which is provided by the internet, and all of which will further inclined to be agreed with by journalists reporting on it in a biased manner done for the purpose of generating ad-revenue from outrage driven clicks.

You can argue that the new digital era has alienated people simply by existing, but the new media is the ultimate culprit after having spent the last decade stoking tension in atomizing society based on uncontrollable, biologically determined factors and creating a sense of victimhood and entitlement amongst each of their subdivisions.

That's not how markets and pricing work. Prices can go up for any number of reasons, demand is high, demand is too low, past pricing was too aggressive. Amazon has historically been operated with very low profits, maybe Bezos wants to change that?

I'm not sure why you feel offended or deserve a certain price point. Go with some other cloud provider, and if it's too much work, well then there you have it: Amazon has just justified their RDS pricing.

Sure, backdoors will slip under security audits, until one day they're revealed and you find out you've been pwnt all along.

I don't think the US is innocent either, of course tech that we use internally and export is probably backdoored out the wazoo.

I would rather assume almost everything I use is backdoored one way or another, and operate that assumption, rather than assume the opposite to be true and be wrong.

It's not a dramatic headline. Governments spying on each other and their citizens is the boring default state of the things.
Not OP, it was a bit of caricature I believe. But there are stark differences he also mentioned - many times in US I couldn't walk to a store, unless walking on the road and risking getting hit / stopped by police. Some shops I wanted to visit simply didn't have pedestrian access at all. Or stuff like the need to walk 45 minutes in a big U shape to store that is 1km away. Replace store with any other destination.

This reflects a bit different reality in US. You might not even see it anymore, but for many Europeans its a bit shocking when first encountered.

> The capsule blew up while firing the abort motors.

To be clear, it blew up when pressurizing those motors' systems, not during firing. As you note, that makes it unlikely to have happened in orbit, but it's still a major concern for future crew - it's a step that'd happen in every launch. Hence the redesign.
> Yet, in all cases, after hedging, the airline will still either win or lose depending upon the change in oil price. No certainty has been gained.

That’s not really true. You’re locking in the price that you’re going to pay - that’s the certainty. You might however not be getting the best price at that point in time. From a financial forecasting perspective it probably worthwhile trade off though as you’re fixing one of your costs for that time period and that’s useful even when sub optimal.

There used to be this neat little extension called Read It Later that let you do just that. Bookmark and save it so you could read it when you were offline or the page disappeared.

I am an academic mathematician, on winter break. I did some research this morning. Why? No wishy-washy reasons here, the reason is as you said: I like it. I will do more today.

I do not believe that my work comes at someone else's expense. My position does -- there are only so many slots for tenured professors -- but not my actual work.

What experience? Never naming a file in "something else than ascii characters"?

It might be true for programmers. Users, which 99.9% of them are not programmers, do it ALL THE TIME in any country in the world.

And why shouldn't they? Should they learn english just to name files, or use transliterations of their language names for the contents of the file?

> Legislating salary transparency would be quite awesome actually.

I've heard they do this in one or more Scandinavian countries. Essentially, you can go online and see what your coworkers and neighbors earn.

I have a feeling that's why salaries in these countries, especially when you include state defined insurance and pension plans, are so normalized. It's probably also why more innovation tends to take place in the US (subjectively).

For many of us in the US, I think this would actually be a net negative, myself included. There is so much division in this country, eventually employers will simply be forced to dish out nearly identical salaries for everyone in order to avoid lawsuits and government penalties, even when talent and performance is radically different between employees.

For example, Employee X has a BS in CS from a great engineering school which took a lot of effort to obtain. He was hacking away at code on his own as a teenager and is passionate about tech, and is often working on open source projects on weekends and evenings.

Another employee comes in - she got a watered-down "Information Systems" degree from some mediocre pay-to-play online school, and her previous knowledge of technology is her IPhone and Facebook. She pays her tutition fees, does the minimum to graduate, and now has her BS, too.

She discovers the talented guy make 50% more than her, even though he's the guy leading the development projects, ensuring standards are met, cleaning up the garbage produced by other junior coders, etc. We all know that many teams form this dynamic, especially in typical contracting and enterprise shops.

Well of course she'll complain. They both have similar 'credentials' on paper, both work 40 hours, both are in their 30s. Management won't care that one dev is worth 5x the other, they want to avoid lawsuits and government penalties. So his salary is lowered, hers is raised. Because he knows he won't get paid what he's worth anywhere else since it's the same everywhere, he just stop performing at work, the whole project suffers.

And yes, this has happened in my work place several times in the last few years as salaries have become more transparent and there are more complaints from groups who feel that they're being discriminated against, regardless of their performance and experience.

Boeing's military aircraft, with the exception of the V-22 with Bell, are primarily warmed over versions of the old McDonnell Douglas designs, still produced in the same plants.

The military could very cleanly nationalise the Defense division and leave Boeing Commercial to flap in the wind.

I like to live near cool hangouts in the city where people regularly walk by, not because I leave the house that often, but because as a classic introvert I feed on other people's happy vibes.

One thing that wasn't mentioned so far is that you may want to use garbage collection only for a portion of your program.

I was just about to write something similar - the reason nasa projects fail is because they refuse to allow for iteration. Every flight from the first flight must be flawless.

And now when it’s starting to become real... oops...

To me, the most obvious cause is women’s increased participation in the workforce. With women no longer free to volunteer and socialize throughout the day, a lot of these community organizations would see a decline in membership.

Even the simple decline in people who identify their neighbour as a friend can be explained by a lack of women living and socializing in the neighbourhood during the daytime. The increased use of paid childcare would similarly reduce the amount of children living and playing in the neighbourhood during the day.

Overall, this would contribute to the feeling that the suburbs are ghost towns during the day, and families arriving home from school/work would rush inside to eat dinner before chauffeuring the kids to all of their extracurriculars.
> The proposition in St. Louis does have a runoff. Seems like a lot of expense.

Honestly, I think there's too much focus on expense nowadays. We shouldn't feel forced to pursue the best cheapest system, or feel limited only to systems that are no more costly than the ones we have today.

If an idea results in a more trusted and effective electoral system, I think it would be worth it even if it costs significantly more.
This is odd from my perspective (in Canada). Sweetened peanut butter is there for people who have a taste for it. You can usually find unsweetened right next to it for the same price at any store. Salt is surely added for flavour and preservation. It doesn't cover sweetness.

There's still no certainty. For an airline, your prices have to be competitive. If you've locked in an oil price, and it turns out to be a high one, then your fares will be more expensive than your competitors (assuming that they didn't hedge in the same way). So the only certainty there is failure.

In all situations, hedging and non hedging, the oil price will determine whether you win or lose. There is no magical combination of derivatives that will ensure success. In fact, for every financial product you buy, you're paying a cost due to the margin that the bank/market charged you.

Hedging might make sense for some accounting/tax situations, but that's another issue entirely.
