The F-117 had very limited requirements compared to the F-35. What's killing the F-35 is the extreme complexity of the program.

The requirements for the F-117 were basically that it had to be stealthy, and had to be able to carry a minimal payload a reasonable range. There was no radar, no vertical takeoff, no carrier landings, no air-to-air, no sensor fusion, no datalinks, no cooperative engagement, etc etc etc.

It's poorly understood how the combination of high performance requirements, complexity, and flexibility mix. Optimizing a system for performance generally requires cutting across domains. Subsystems need to be designed jointly to wring out performance. This means there are many dependencies between the subsystems, so if one thing changes on one subsystem, it may affect a number of other subsystems. If you then add flexibility to the mix -- you want a modular system like the F-35, all of this optimization work has to be done on every combination of parts. Now combine this with a complex set of mission requirements -- every change has to be optimized for multiple missions and multiple aircraft variants. Due to the optimized and complex nature of the aircraft, each change will also affect many subsystems.

Because the system is so complex, no person or even a small group of people can have the entire system in their head, so it's hard to know exactly what will be affected with a subsystem change. Subsystems affected by a change will furthermore not even be built by the same company. This all means that each change has to go through very slow formal processes to make sure it keeps working.

All of this is to say that layering on all of these categories of requirements has an exponential effect. If the F-35 didn't have to be high performance, or if it didn't have three variants, or if it didn't have to perform multiple missions, the project would have been much easier.

I believe the real political problem is that the city government all have cars and get unlimited free parking in the city, thanks to the placards they and other city workers give themselves (and their families/friends) and use completely unchecked[0].

If you are a cop/firefighter, or friends with one, you can drive around the city like a reckless asshole with almost complete immunity. If you are a cyclist that inconveniences a cop that has never traversed the city outside of a car (commutes from staten/long island to park on the sidewalk by the precinct and then hops in the squad car), you get a big fat ticket.

We spend 68 million dollars on the military per hour. An aircraft carrier group alone costs somewhere between 2-3 million per day to operate. We spend huge amounts on force projection, but argue over school funding and basic social services.

As a non-American I'm also curious about the mass necessity of opioid painkillers to begin with. From what I hear, people are prescribed opioids post surgery etc. which is bonkers to me as a foreigner. I'm a middle aged person and I have never seen anyone using opioid painkillers anywhere in my life. They give stuff to you when you are having surgery, and when you are in hospital's care, but something very extraordinary has to happen here to have access to those medications outside of a hospital setting. In the USA it seems to me like most people are prescribed these painkillers at least once in their life between 1-50 years but here, it is very exceptional and people are doing just fine.

1.If you rely on an ETL to automagically remove duplicates you are lying to yourself because you treat external symptoms, the illness is the underlying query and hiding this fact can only lead to more headaches later on.

2.Testing for duplicate is a SQL one-liner

Yeah sharding database is coming late to the game but ACID compliance is a killer feature. Code to manage inconsistencies in NoSQL is way less trivial as far as I know... unless it's ok to have an inconsistent database...
Guess it depend on use case but ACID seems nice for any important dataset.

What to Do About Population Growth (2019)
You’re getting all kinds of answers but a key one, for me, is that film is unavoidably slow and expensive. Digital cameras teach you that each frame is cheap and throwaway. That encourages some kinds of photographic/artful thinking while obscuring others.

Old masters of large format film photography have a workflow and thought process that’s vastly different from modern digicam shooting. When you have just one or two potential exposures and maybe only 15 minutes of perfect light to pull it off, you must research and plan and conceptualize deeply.

Ansel Adams is the grandmaster here. He has three books on exposure, shooting, and development which read like alien artifacts to someone who’s used to digital. They also convey amazing conceptual clarity.

Picking up an old film camera is a good way to get a little bit in touch with that ethos.
That's really impressive, given how few people are using film.

> I would expect the intensity of those signals to be constantly varying

The problem is mostly with the frequency band, because it's regulated (or should I say pre-allocated for certain purposes). It's just too easy to notice if someone is using satellite communication, how many and where.

> Satellites don't have enough fuel to constantly dodge specific countries

I'm not saying they should avoid certain countries. It's just about network policies - routing and filtering - which happen on software level.

> Probably not, but it will be one more means of global communication, with more coverage than anything we've seen before.

True. This is a progress. What I'm saying is that this is just one step, not a leap by itself.

I just can't stand people's indistinction b/w progress and paradigm shift, because it's the major source of hype. You know, it takes so many steps for technology to become magic, so why can't we just sit tight and watch, instead of going full frenzy every time something happens. I mean, that's how I see all those futurology stuffs.
I actually stopped using my DLSR entirely in the last year and picked up a pristine Canon EOS 3 for super cheap since I knew I'd be comfortable using it pretty quickly. I always found (now continued) kodachrome film to be incredibly beautiful, and when I realized there were still other color reversal films out there I took the plunge, and have been very happy with Fujiflim's Velvia[0]. and I end up putting much more thought into photos I take. It feels really different.

The use of the gun is perhaps 1% of the role of this fighter. The number of times a fighter has used a gun in air combat in the last 30 years is non-existent. For strafing, (generally out of favor for CAS due to non-combatant casualties) the gun is inaccurate. This will be updated with a software fix.

If you read the reports of pilots flying the aircraft during Red Flag and other exercises, the plane is excellent. But there's a continual axe grinding over this plane that is factually inaccurate.

I see this as an example where the ends can justify the means. The maximum loss those people could incur would be the sums exchanged. If those are restored to the damaged party I don't see how there's a good reason to protect the people who traded. They can still demand restoration from their partners after all. If they traded with crooks, they might get nothing back. Such is life.

To say this is the moral equivalence of extortion is a long shot.
I was careless with wording, but I don't mean that a bus-load of homeless people are ferried out to San Francisco. Instead that the weather, people, and connections has a drawn a lot of people with a very laissez-faire attitude towards life, and that invariably conflicts with raw capitalism in a way that can have negative outcomes.

This loose attitude on life pretty much defined San Francisco for a couple of decades.
> Finnish is an absolutely atrocious language to learn for most people

Things have changed a lot in recent years. In the 1970s, or even the 1990s, then sure, learning the language would have been very difficult due to the limited selection of learning material and dearth of social opportunities to practice (the Finns being so famously taciturn). Today, however, there are so many different textbooks for Finnish that a foreigner can find one that matches his or her particular approach to language-learning, and there are lots of meetups now in Helsinki for foreigners to practice.

I learned Finnish many years ago when things were rather more difficult, and I envy the opportunities that immigrants to Finland today have.

Cutting corporate taxes to zero does not necessarily mean trickle-down economics.

We could cut the corporate tax rate to zero, tax capital at a rate slightly higher than labor (in exchange for using a corporation as a tax-free investment vehicle). We could have a carbon tax and a VAT, with all the proceeds refunded equally to households, which would serve as a UBI.

Eliminating the corporate tax would remove all manner of distortions from our economy, and would free-up huge amounts of resources currently allocated towards avoiding taxation.

Instead of offering insidious tax credits/expenditures to support industries we want, we could offer an equivalent amount of subsidies, which would be on balance sheet, and much easier to judge their effectiveness.

There's no particular reason we must tax corporations, and there are a lot of reasons why it makes sense not to. But certainly we should not cut corporate taxes without capturing that revenue elsewhere in a progressive way.
If a union sells out to support the kleptocratic government's austerity, at the expense of the people, is it really that undemocratic to cut their power off?

I like doing landscape, architecture, and portrait photography with view cameras. Scanning backs are rare, expensive, and not suitable for anything that might move. Backs that work like film are even more expensive (likely more than I'd pay in a lifetime for film and development supplies) and they have a very low resolution.

It's useful to put the grouping columns so you can say

For a PC to use at home, I agree 100%. If you're the kind of person that's likely to upgrade RAM or components I wouldn't recommend this for personal use.

This is geared toward enterprise use. Think, corporate IT department that needs to support dozens of these. They want a service contract and they'll probably replace the lot of them in five years. Having some weird proprietary components in there isn't a problem. After all, if they need help troubleshooting they'll have direct access to an engineer at Lenovo.

There's a great documentary called "Side by Side" produced by Keanu Reeves where he goes through the history of the movie industry moving from film to digital. There are still a lot of major Hollywoo releases that are made on film. It's producer/director preference a lot of times.

In the past, stuff on film meant you could rescan the originals and remaster them in 4K, which you can't do with 1080p digital recordings (like Star Wars ep1 .. they used other digital techniques to upscale them). But there are limits to that. Trying to rescan old film at 8K often results in a lot of noise, and you don't gain much even after trying to clean it up .. so there are limits to the resolution of the analogue medium that we are just now surpassing with digital sensors.

> I've seen so many ...."Bernie's people are horrible" posts on the Yang subreddit which has turned me off the yang gang.

Do please remember that the subreddit is not a full expression of Yang's support, as in it is biased towards people who are active on Reddit. The number of anti-bernie posts on there are indeed very annoying, and the quality has indeed gone downhill as the number of subscribers has increased (which is a very common, often repeated pattern, e.g. eternal september)

> C. Many of us would support Yang if he were on top or higher than Bernie in polls. But we want a chance at winning, and Bernie has a strong grassroots.

This is exactly why we need Ranked Choice Voting (or another similar non-FPTP system like Approval Voting), so you can actually vote your true preference. An alternative voting system is a concept that I've personally supported for many years and is one of Andrew Yang's policies: https://www.yang2020.com/policies/rankedchoice/ which is one of the reason's that I support him.
Now you're right in that traditionally Epic has served larger healthcare systems and tertiary hospitals, (hell they have even been known to turn down customers), but I think there's potentially a bit of role reversal on the horizon. Some Epic deployments have been creeping into community groups through licensing agreements [1, 2]. Probably makes more sense if you want your clinic pop to have greater access to tertiary services. It's something I would keep my eye on within the EHR business space.

Also, my previous comment was in response to no one liking Epic though, so certainly on topic.
