The problem isn’t the airport. It’s the lateral separation requirements for IFR aircraft on the ILS. Most airliners can land in 0-0, but you can’t do 0-0 landings on parallel runways with the ILS because of lateral separation requirements.

There is also flow control that is from the FAA — under IFR the acceptance rates are reduced.

The short answer isn’t that SFO isn’t “upgraded” but the rate of aircraft acceptance is reduced under low visibility conditions per the FAA — and for good reason, separation of aircraft.

So we need an easy toggle, and option to do this via email reply.. and option to change notifications from each message into twice per day or once an hour or other options.. I think that would satisfy most people.

I hated emails from fbk and turned them all off long ago, but some people seem to like that kind of thing, so we might need options, and options for those who want a reminder but not a bunch of reminders everyday.
Carpooled with a friend to the pharmacy. His family and I were all exposed to influenza A, and for different reasons all decided to take Tamiflu.

My cost was 10 times his. His whole family for less than half the cost of just myself. My initial suspicion was he got generic and I didn't. Nope, same box. He's said before he has 'good insurance' but it's almost always just talk. Guess it wasn't in this case.
Nope, I'm not accusing you of saying that isn't a problem. I'm merely demonstrating that a problem starts at some number of keywords. I understand that your argument is that the problem starts at two keywords (in this case) not one. Correct?

Would you care to respond to why you think users will know to type "exixir" when they search for "lumen", or why you think that "lumen" is a good marketing term? All you've done is misuderstood one small part of what I said: you haven't actually responded to the other 3/4 of what I said.
>See my sibling comment about Stellaris. Please elaborate!

Basically, it's a game emphasizing and focusing on roleplay. The early game is absolutely brilliant. But it has way too strict rules and there aren't many meaningful (combat or diplomatic) interactions with the AI past mid-game once you've exhausted most events * .

The war AI is a joke once you've grown enough, and diplomacy offers very few options - maybe the latest DLC will help with that.

So you are left with either slowly conquering the galaxy (because the wargoal system is stupid, I'll get to that), or basically doing very little - diplo is only slightly more fleshed out than MoO, Federations only make sense for some Empires and don't do much yet - and waiting until the Crisis, which is bugged enough that it's no longer that much of a threat.

There are also the drastic performance issues some players have mid-late game, or how the economy revamp (a good idea in theory, tiles needed to go) didn't reduce micromanagement, but arguably increased it. Again, early game Stellaris is awesome, but later... not so much.

---

As for the wargoal system, unless you're playing a genocidal (FP/DE) race which almost removes diplomacy, you're limited to wars with very limited goals with 10-year ceasefires * . There's no way to break those ceasefires, despite it not making any roleplay sense.

By comparison, in MoO sometimes an AI race will attack one of your planets without declaring war, and sometimes I just have to take in the chin, because I'm nowhere near strong enough to fight. At which point I might begin methodically planning revenge while being nice-nice diplomatically.

This is actually something that can also happen the other way around, with the player being the aggressor. AFAIK, there are no fixed rules in the MoO code for that - this is just an emergent property.

Stellaris, despite the large number of fixed events and mechanics can't support that kind of interaction, because the mechanics are implemented way too strictly, and you can't just send out ships without formally declaring war with fixed pre-set goals limited by Influence and if you did have a war, you'd always have the large diplomatic malus with the faction and no good way to try to appease the AI.

* Events are basically fixed storylines choices written by Paradox, where every choice makes a small difference. Compare GalCiv which also had that mechanic, but GalCiv's choices are far less detailed and GalCiv had a moral scale mechanic which wouldn't have been a good fit for Stellaris

* Well, there's the Vasselize-Annex method, which is almost as slow because it costs a lot of Influence.
Maybe someone here can help with this. Back in the late 80s in the days of BBSing games of Trade Wars and Tele-Arena... I have a faint recollection of playing an entirely text-based space adventure game with my brother.

The first computer my brother and I ever had access to was a Wang, I have no idea what operating system it ran. I was 6 or 7 at the time. I'm pretty sure that's the machine we used to play this game, as well as our own instance of Trade Wars, when we weren't logged into Argus BBS over the 1200 baud.

OK, so this game we played. It was like a explore and conquer game, there was a list of worlds I think they were named Alpha, Beta, Gamma, etc. You could choose to send different types of ships to try to capture and control the various worlds, in which case it would contribute to your overall production. I recall there was a way to send spies as well, that would relay information about what kind of units were present on an enemy territory. I recall it being similar in some ways to Galactic Empire, except it was purely turn based, there was no real time component.

I can't for the life of me remember the name of the game. I'm half convinced I dreamed the whole thing up. Any chance this rings a bell for anyone?
Actual definition (Merriam Webster)

Rhetoric: Noun: Verbal communication : Discourse

In politics rhetoric refers to the arguments communicated, not the views themselves. People you agree with also have rhetoric.

To the extent it has a negative connotation, that is because many arguments (even for good policies) are terrible.
Rust (the game) uses EAC and has a Linux native client. At least it did last time I played it on OpenSUSE. I haven't played it in a while. The lead developer has expressed regret for supporting Linux.

Oh yeah, 7 Days to Die also uses EAC on Linux.

For C: both platform have been EXTREMELY compatible over the years. They probably both treat breakage as bug. This is a must given the fundamental APIs are defined in term of C headers, and must remain compatible.

Even for C++: gcc has been mostly compatible, but not unreasonably so. MSVC was traditionally not at all, but has recently been for 2 or 3 major versions in a row. I think MSVC will eventually break it again though, but at least they break it way less often than before (and breaking can also have advantages).

The DOS version is available at various abandonware sites and that's probably the easiest way to play it.

I have a couple of books that are something between self-help and neuroscience/psychology that I can recommend. They are a more scientific and evidence-based lens on many of the same themes as self-help books (resilience, confidence, acceptance, etc), and they contain concrete exercises and summaries. They might appeal to people who are allergic to woo:

Consider the following from personal experience: If you rank highly on Google search as I once did you may become the target of malicious actors trying to leach from your ranking.

In my case this leaching appeared to Google as if /we/ were trying to game the system with link farms (we were not). Google penalized us in 2011 and we've yet to recover.

The point: when you use Google search you're often served sub-standard results, as over time generations of ranking penalties has lead to lower quality sites ranking higher.

I bought a domain for a blogger blog ages ago. At the time google had no domain registry so they partnered with some company.

Years later and google starts hammering me with "hey your credit card is expired we're not going to renew your domain" ...

Fine right?

"Hey go update your payment information on admin.google.com"

Wait. I don't have a g-suite account... and on my personal account my payment info is up to date, so I figure maybe they migrated my email address or emailed me about it but nope.

Then comes circular system where if you forgot X you need Y and if you don't have Y you need X and links on pages that always lead to admin.google.com...

There was no place to find / get help from google. Blogger seems like the information there is wrong / hasn't been updated / abandoned. Just links that ran in circles.

I found the old registrar they partnered with and got them to help.

With Google as far as I could tell there was no way to resolve the issue in a situation where I"m even trying to give them money (granted a nominal amount).

Spoofing GPS position is also surprisingly trivial, it can be done with cheap SDR.
You have to deal with the registry directly. Otherwise it's kind of pointless if registrar itself can lock/unlock it.

I have registry lock. I just asked my national domain registry to lock the domain. All that was needed was a strong proof of identity. (not just a photo of an ID, but doing a physical verification in person somewhere, like on the post office or sending a notarized letter) It was free.

But this is a national domain, where I have a high trust in the registry itself (registry manager makes the Turris router, btw, and some key software like knot dns server, etc), and that's also the reason why all my important stuff is linked to this domain.
The only proxy we have for measuring self-awareness is "responds in a way that maps to human behaviour in X scenario"—e.g. things like the mirror test—which, while it's the best we've got, isn't very compelling given the diversity we observe even in primates.

Without any convincing evidence in either direction, I find it perplexing that people seem to default to asumming the negative (i.e. the more convenient assumption)

Google’s Version of AirDrop for Android
Well, isn't that special.

Let's try this a different way.

1) "As soon as a player can’t perform at a high level anymore, they’re gone."

Who defines what "high level" means?

Most jobs are a mix of skills. Someone just starting may be good at cranking code. Someone with more experience may be good at avoiding dead ends, and providing advice to get those beginners up to speed. Someone with more leadership skills may be good at management. Someone with more people skills may be a low performer by most labor measurements, but great at building team cohesiveness - a catalyst, to use a chemistry term.

2) "Then there are the companies which let older employees linger due to seniority instead of phasing them out as their performance drops."

This is the Silicon Valley disease. Let someone else train people, pay them a lot, burn them out, then get rid of them like the worn down parts they are.

Again, how is "performance" measured?

From what I've read, seniority systems can arise when it's hard to figure out who is good or bad. Is there a 10x commercial airline pilot? If 99+% of flights are routine, and trained for, then how do you tell who those 10x pilots are?

3) "There must be no doubt in anyone’s mind that performance is what is valued throughout the organization."

Again, how is "performance" measured?

4) "If you’re the GM or CEO, this cultural message needs to [... be ...] People are paid on the value of their performance, nothing else-full stop."

Which backfires in the face of hypocrisy. How many millions did the ex-CEO of Boeing get paid upon leaving the company after this recent fiasco?

How is the CEO's performance measured, and why is that measurement different than how the rest of the employees are measured?

5) "This also means that there will be a large discrepancy in salaries, bonuses, options and rewards."

You know, I've got no problem with that. I just want all that information - yes, including salary and income for each employee - to be public data.

6) "no one should care if you’re the biggest asshole on the planet."

Except for jobs where team cohesiveness is an important factor. I don't want to work with asshole, I'm good enough at what I do that I can quit if I'm forced to work with an unrepentant asshole.

7) "like putting down a once-prized stallion that can no longer stud"

We are all but meat widgets to the all-important corporation. Hail capitalism!

8) "implement a stack rank and tell me what happens?"

The company goes to the crapper, a la "Microsoft's Lost Decade"? - https://www.vanityfair.com/news/business/2012/08/microsoft-l...

That's behind a paywall. Alternatives at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/microsoft-throws-employee-sta...

> Going forward, the system would focus on how employees collaborated with each other. Performance reviews wouldn’t just be focused on how well the employee did, but how they engaged with their peers around them.

> The use of stack ranking, which has been almost ubiquitous at large companies for years, has recently plummeted, since many companies now realize it can actually hurt performance.
The answer depends on how you want to test for self-awareness. For a long time it was defined via the mirror test [0], but there is a lot of evidence that the test isn't a great test for many animals (eg where vision isn't one of their primary senses). As far as I know, no "food" animals have passed the mirror test; a number of aquatic mammals, primates, and birds (none of which are eaten commonly in the US) have, and one species of fish.

Personally, I am of the opinion that testing for self awareness is very difficult and its not clear why that's the cut off for where we stop eating things to begin with. Clearly the animals we farm and eat are capable of feeling pain, and many of them are very intelligent. Pretending that we would respond to the news that eg pigs had passed the mirror test by no longer eating them seems farcical to me.

I'd suppose that goes both ways. If someone does find a way to steal a domain that's managed by Google, who are you going to contact to get it back?

It doesn't literally go against the constitution, but there are no open forums anymore as they've all resorted to deplatforming because they keep pushing this message you support, that they know better than the lowly masses. Even 4chan has been heavily mitigated. You are wrong if you think the people running mass media outlets have your best interests in mind when they decide which content is kosher and which is not.

Not to put words in OP's mouth, but I'd guess the weirdness is in a couple of things:

1) Jimmy can go deep on some extremely obscure corners of the industry (e.g. interactive fiction movements that maybe only a few dozen academic acolytes are even aware of).

2) The occasional deep tangent. For example, I don't think a month-long mini-biography of Edward Mannock was really necessary to appreciate the Amiga game _Wings_. But then again, I loved that tangent, so it's the kind of weirdness that I can personally embrace. I'm guessing the Analog Antiquarian is going to end up ultimately absorbing that energy anyway.
There are quite a few, and you can create a list of categories you consider as fundamentals for the nature of your work. As an example, I would think Algorithms and Data Structures is a fundamental subject. These are the easiest to practice.

You could for example pick something as simple as a HashTable, and implement it from scratch. Then, you could add more complexity to it, like HTs that won't fit in memory, expanding and shrinking HTs efficiently etc.

Or, you could use one of the several practice websites like LeetCode to practice Algorithms/DS problems.

Once you start building a habit, you will also become better at organizing your practice routine and finding out more about what to work on, and where to look for study/practice materials. But mind you, this is a slow process, which you want to build as a habit. There is no end goal here (like cracking Google interview or such), this is a process to get better at the fundamental skills in your field.
Or, and hear me out here, they’re saying this wasn’t just a random overnight change but one that’s been tested and has shown positive feedback on mobile over a long stretch of time.

It sounds like you just hate Google and put a negative spin on anything you read now. It would be healthy for you to step away and explore other options if the company being responsive to customer feedback is this agitating for you.

I, for one, like the changes so your whole aggressive take is trying to speak for me when you aren’t.
