I knew some people who worked near this specialty in aerospace.

From what I remember, it's highly guarded and sensitive due to the rarity of skills and knowledge required.

The problem is highly nonlinear from both an aerodynamics and structural perspective. The fabric changes shape, can only really support a load in tension, and updates of the geometry then feed back into aerodynamics.

I'm trying to imagine how they deal with vibrations/flutter related issues (they may not even be called that on flexible fabric, I haven't checked) where everything has to be solved in the time domain to get Real Answers. We're talking modern day supercomputers and constantly having to reduce time step size to keep solutions faster than the Nyquist frequency on a huge problem set where you have to save a lot of the intermediate results somewhere. Then there are all kinds of other things to worry about that someone more experienced with compressible flow can talk about, and its associated nondimensional simulation parameters and issues...

It's hard enough with incompressible liquids in confined spaces with metals that can only bend and deflect so much. That is an area I'm more familiar with, and know where to look in handbooks to get initial solutions.

But parachutes? Whew. Complex.

Of course it is. But it's not the European companies getting outcompeted, it's the individual laborers.

So it's equally as fair for those laborers (voters) to say "no more importing cheap competition". The UK already has. It's incredibly difficult to bring in foreign employees.

Edit, addendum, ignore the part about companies, though you'd said European firms.
Lose Weight Quickly
Lose 5 pounds in one week! It's a trope we see everywhere. And while it’s possible that someone can lose that much (if not more) in that time period, it really depends on your metabolism and loads of other factors, including physical activity and body composition, all of which are entirely unique to you.

Weight loss ultimately comes back to the concept of calories in, calories out: Eat less than you burn and you’ll lose weight. And while it’s possible to lose water weight quickly on a low-carb diet, I certainly wouldn’t advocate for it. The diet itself can trick you into thinking that this eating style is working — when really, you might gain back what you lost as soon as you eat carbs again. That can feel incredibly dispiriting if you want results that last longer than a week.

Based on my experience in nutrition counseling, most of us tend to snack on foods that aren’t nutrient-dense, but are high in calories. For example, skipping sugary beverages is often the easiest way to lose weight faster. You don’t feel full from drinks — even the ones that do contain calories — so swapping those out for sparkling water or unsweetened tea and coffee is the best place to start. Other major culprits often come in refined grains like cereals, chips, crackers, and cookies.Click here>>> https://cutt.ly/oe0uQ8E
The Democracy Index rankings are non-transparent measures by a less than objective organization that places significant weight on a country's openness to multinational corporations.

Singapore specifically is an example people use to illustrate the inherent flaws of the Democracy Index rating system. This is a country with low press freedom, one ruling party that sues the opposition into bankruptcy for "defamation" to prevent any loss of power, and oh, they execute people for carrying drugs.
In Netherlands that is probably subsidized.

This is the very long tail of non-metric conversion that drives me insane.

This date format is unforgivable:

(2) DDMMYY This is unnecessarily "difficult" for a human and a computer to sort and parse. Using ALL the same number of digits and following ISO 8601 already solves this (and with the padding 00's you don't need to touch this part of the software for 7900 more years!)

This can only be a holdover from a pre-PC era.

Some industries move at a glacial pace when updating standards and tools. The risk to lives because of screwups (i.e. a faulty radar at Air Traffic Control) is too great to do without sufficient study and experimentation. But this can only be an unwillingness to change.

Interesting, you're right. I wonder why - They're just `iframe`s from Google Sheets - no custom rendering or html.

I'll do some research, thanks for pointing it out.

Update: added a fallback to images using:

```
const iOS = /iPad|iPhone|iPod/.test(navigator.userAgent) && !window.MSStream;

// iOS doesn't load google sheets embeds for some reason :/
if(iOS){
const toReplace = document.querySelectorAll('.aa-image');
for(const image of toReplace){
const imageUrl = image.id;
image.outerHTML = `{% include image.html file="${imageUrl}" alt="${imageUrl}" %}`
}
}

Perfection comes not when you have nothing more to add but when you have nothing left to take away.
There seems to be more than one index. There is the index of scanned file content, an index for apps, and maybe another one for help. There is also a query timeout. If you start searching after a boot on a slow laptop you get a subset of results dependent on which index is loaded before the query times out. Kill the start menu and try again. And again. And then it works smoothly. It's quite poor.

It is also worthwhile noting that putting a monetary value to nature permits us to pollute, to buy permits to pollute, to shrug off cleanups citing such actions to be expensive. Many things can’t be valued by a human ascribed price alone.

This kind of thing can be dangerous in the wrong sort of organization, be careful about stepping on other people's toes. What you call Bad engineering is adaptive behavior in an organization like this.

Bad organizations incentivize bad behavior and punish good behavior.
I'm thinking it would apply to the CTO and similar high-level employees? It wouldn't make sense to punish random leaf-node engineers; they don't know the full state/readiness of the system and aren't the one making the go/no go decision anyway.

That's what I experience at the Computer History Museum (near Google). A high percentage of the items behind the glass were part of my daily life decades ago (punchcards, the earliest TI and HP calculators, etc.) I feel like the Highlander walking through that museum.
It depends on where in the city the building was built. 1908 is just a few years after the great quake of 1906. Houses and buildings were built very quickly during an era of non-existent building codes.

I lived in one in the Tenderloin for a few years. It needed a lot of TLC and was horribly maintained. Nobody wanted no spend the money to keep it looking nice. That's one of the downsides to the architecture of the era. The building was gorgeous, but even just properly cleaning it took an extra effort the landlord wasn't willing to pay for.

I've played around putting USB connectors directly on PCBs, and USB-A is way more lenient than USB-C. With USB-A, you can use basically any PCB thickness between the standard 1.6mm and 2.2mm, and it'll work well enough.

USB-C's midplate is specified at 0.7mm, and all of the cheap chinese PCB manufacturers only offer 0.6mm and 0.8mm. 0.6mm is too thin to make reliable contact with most of the cables I've tried: I haven't gotten around to ordering another batch at 0.8mm, but plugging the corner of a 0.8mm M.2 SSD into a USB-C cable, it's pretty (i.e. probably slightly too) snug. Thin PCBs are also extremely flexible, which isn't great for brittle solder joints, ceramic capacitors, etc.

This BuzzFeed listicle has only seven items. Hell, let me come up with one of these:

1. Privacy concerns

Amazon, and Google will continue changing what we think of as acceptable levels of privacy.

2. Content creationism

Christian podcasts will continue to rise, though ASMR and relaxation segment will be growing as well.

3. Wearables re-revolution

Wearable tech will be able to provide more unique experiences thanks to Bluetooth 5.0.

4. Current currency

As BitCoin continues it’s decline, innovative uses for blockchain technology will emerge.

5. Office anywhere

Thanks to faster internet speeds, tech workers will be able to work in even more places.

6. Self driving innovation

Advances in machine learning will mean that ML scientists and engineers will be able to be more productive.

7. New media formats

New and worse formats for self indulgent articles full of empty platitudes will continue to be discovered.
For this one, we know what the answer is since this was the "departure" location, which we know is KPHL. When decoded in assuming it's some odd DD mm.m concatenation and assuming the 8 indicates a negative, it results in being a point on runway 27R/9L of the departure airport.

There absolutely is. I'm not sure why so many here seem to think that the only options are: BA startup, FAANG, Fortune 500 megacorp.
It's both or all 3.

1. Corporate interests want to reduce hemp use for oil and material to help their dino oil products

2. People buyin that its bad

3. Politicians use it as a way to think people are bad

4. One generation later and the reason is whatever is most expediant.

I believe that 80+% of politicians today that oppose legalization do so genuinely because they grew up being told it was bad and a gateway drug. And they're too ignorant to consider the Nixon quote or that their government has always been bought and paid for to maintain a status quo
This is a nice result for the single-scalar case, but it is not immediately obvious to me how it would scale to support SIMD, given its use of per-element indexing and a periodic conditional fallback to a slowpath which does not trigger at the same time for all lanes. Extending Kahan summation (or similar techniques) to take advantage of SIMD, however, is completely straightforward. In the age of AVX-512, the speedups from SIMD are hard to ignore even for 64-bit precision arithmetic.
> But no, you want more. You want luxury life, you want to keep the rest of the world underneath you.

Why does wanting more imply having people underneath you?

Your comment is full of frustration, hatred and anger, it doesn't have any argument in it. I hope you can see that.

The main issue stems from the fact that Europeans have a different lifestyle, therefore, moving forward for them implies having actually higher wages, not lower ones, in order to have at the end of the month some free days of vacation, health insurance for the family, etc etc.

The comment you are answering to says exactly that. It didn't mention anything like "let's send them back" or whatever it is, as you seem to imply with your words. It was an honest observation (backed up by economists, by the way, just google that) about the fact that by giving more work to people who get less money won't do anything else than lowering the salaries for the entire sector. Of course, it will give people from other countries a possibility to work and make it, however, as a local citizen wishing to improve my country and the average income, why would I care about people coming from other countries? I mean, what do I get in return?
I might be exaggerating, but I feel like I'm not.

Most parents I know pay almost 600 for rent (amenities not included, so add another 100, and quite a bit more if it's a colder winter). Fun to note that the minimum wage is currently around 500 euro, AirBnB is a hell of a drug.
Add to that up to 400 for childcare a month, per young child.

Tax rate is near 40% at that income level, so let's say it's a net 30k out of the 50k. So that's 2.5k a month.

I will spare a list of the other required monthly expenses but it shouldn't be hard to see that it's hard to save up enough to ever buy property or to be safe against any event that costs any significant amount of money.
> Yes, spend a couple of moments reading up on the EC. The rules haven't changed in a long time. Even if you don't like it, that's only how the president is elected. Federal representatives for the state are elected by getting the most votes in a district.

So... it makes what the gp is saying true? It means the government is indeed by the people? I don't follow.

Again, how is that supposed to make gp's statement true?

It is necessary to have multiple solutions. There needn’t be just one.

We need to restore forest cover for reasons I’ve responded to you on in another thread.

We need to have low carbon energy - I’m one of those coming around to Nuclear energy.

We need to stop pollution via plastics.

We need to stop greenhouse gas emissions and figure out solutions to address those gases that we’ve already released.

Your reminder about the wild fires dumping half the years CO2 into the air the the span of a few days is a sobering thought. But, your general message (despite your clarifications) seems to suggest that we might just as well get rid of all trees and artificially supply ourselves with oxygen.
Do you truly believe that libertarians, of which there are millions in the US, want to return to a feudal society? This is what you actually think? It’s completely absurd
The two parent comments seem correct.

The 8 is a negative. i.e. it turns N into S, and E into W.

The last 5 digits are in DDM format, the first two being degrees, and the last 3 being XX.X minutes.

You can verify this using https://www.pgc.umn.edu/apps/convert and plugging in the departure and arrival airport coordinates. The arrival long/lat matches up with the exact coordinates for AMS airport in the same format. This isn't true if you interpret the coordinates in another standard way from what I can see.

Edit: Your interpretation would suggest that PHL airport is in the Indian Ocean.
Then deduct the cost from your next month's rent. That's certainly a better idea than doing nothing as "at least half a dozen" of your packages are stolen.
From TFA:

"One effect of the changes to the draft, reviewed by Reuters in a comparison with the published report, was the removal of multiple scientists' conclusions that their studies had found no link between glyphosate and cancer in laboratory animals. In one instance, a fresh statistical analysis was inserted - effectively reversing the original finding of a study being reviewed by IARC."

This seems a lot stronger than just editing. Although not perfectly clear, it sounds to me like the report was a composite of multiple distinct studies, and they excised some studies that differed from their desired outcome. That's basically the same thing as dropping experimental evidence that doesn't agree with a study's goals.

If you're not fully acknowledging anything that might contradict your conclusion, then you're sciencing wrong.

If you read The Design of Everyday Things, you'd gladly remember that to each user-unfriendly design, the author sarcastically added "but it won a lot of design awards". Which implied that the givers of those awards had one-track mind. And since the book's author co-wrote the article that we discuss, aesthetics at the cost of usability is a major sin for him.

On the other hand, since (insert obligatory joke about $1000 monitor stands), losing customers is no longer their worry.
There's a small hardcover book I found while rummaging through books taken out of circulation at a public library called "Bombs over Bikini" which documents the nuclear tests done over these islands and how the US deceived the Marshallese people.

Its size and format is targeted at children, and contains many photos from the era. It's a very surreal book to page through, leaving me speechless and curious why it would be taken out of circulation. I ended up buying it with a $1 "donation".

For instance, every airplane made by the Russians is explicitly dual-use between civilian and military purposes. That is why they all have removable nose cones; so that the nose cone can be removed and packed with the military avionics needed at a moment's notice. While in the USA this is not done.
