Private business has much longer term perspective than government.

Typically, governments are run to make things look good by the next election. That's a planning horizon of 2 years on average, assuming 4 year terms.

I often used to leave the Netflix app open when I left my TV idle, because it was interesting, not too distracting, and I could start something from it quickly later. But with autoplay, I quickly stopped doing that because it was too distracting. I rush through the app now only after I have something in mind to watch already.

While I'm ranting about Netflix, I absolutely hate the feature where if you leave a show paused for more than five seconds, it starts showing spoilers (the episode description). I often open Netflix before I eat a meal, get it to the start of the next episode of a show I'm watching, and pause it until I'm ready to watch. And then I carefully avoid looking at the screen to avoid the episode description/spoilers. The descriptions are only useful after I've watched the show and want to find a specific episode. I don't want to see them before I've watched the episode!

The Netflix app just seems so actively hostile. I'm used to apps being unpleasant because of bugs, but being unpleasant because of features is unusual.
No, it's anecdata. A lot of stuff I see tends to have a large amount of 5s and 1s. There is often 2-4s, but the amount is very often less than 5s or 1s.

It's mostly just looking at trends. A few things I've purchased from Amazon come with a little advertising slip that says "if this product is anything less than 5 stars, let us know what we can do to make it better!" I've seen plenty of stories from people complaining that their less than 5 star reviews got removed for X reason (often because it's "dishonest").

Maybe that'll be my next learning exercise: scraping the count of reviews from Amazon to support this hypothesis.

Years of hardcore individual and group therapy in my 20s, 30s and 40s helped to dispel any lofty perceptions I had of my self. It was very painful at the time but necessary. I continue that program to this day with a loving wife who calls me out on my shit as needed.
Still beats going out in a bed plus all the burial, cremation etc.
Doesn't that depend on the testing schedule?

If the schedule called for simulations to be run in parallel with the live test, then it's an expected outcome. It should be _expected_ that every test will find a problem. Since this was uncrewed, there was no risk (other than to the uncompleted tests possibly requiring a second flight) to running them in parallel and porting across fixes for any problems that were found.

It was a schedule compression attempt with a cost of second test flight risk if it failed.
> I think they're a waste of money.

This is a valid opinion, but it would be better presented with some evidence to support it.

When someone says "A therapist really helped me." then their opinion carries its own evidence. They are a living evidential proof of their claim. (At least, to the degree that you accept that the commenter is honest and able to correctly measure their own quality of life.)

But when you say "therapists are a waste of money", your claim shows only absence of evidence, not evidence of absense. It may be that therapists aren't good for you, or that you haven't had a good one, or simply that you have no experience with them at all.
The small group - if they work at least on related things - can be valuable. Those huge areas of desk next to desk as in modern "startup" (in quotes since it includes Facebook etc.) open offices are a way different story, though.

Years and years ago when qi was available on the Google Nexus phones the wireless charging was pretty annoyingly over-sensitive to alignment.

E.g. you put the phone down but it was 0.5mm too far to the left or 1 degree rotated wrong and it would not charge, meaning you'd wake up in the morning and the battery was flat. Often the phone vibrating knocked it out of alignment even if you got it right the first time.

So instead of just plugging the phone in, you had to delicately place the phone in just-the-right-place - repeat 4 or 5 times before you got it right etc. Good riddance frankly - it was a shit user experience. I think the high-priced OEM docks relied on really strong magnets to force alignment.

Has it got better yet?
What would you have him do, though? Voluntarily posting about it to try to improve seems like the best choice. If he hadn't posted at all and just continued being a narcissist, that'd also have been wrong. It's not right to set up a judgement system where someone has no correct action at all.
Yeah, I love OSMAnd for that reason. With it, you can add POIs and for more complicated edits that need a bigger screen etc. it's easy to add OSM Notes (which other mappers can then follow up on). Notes I find particularly good when I'm travelling and don't have time or enough knowledge of the area to actually edit the map, but want to help others do so.
Imagine growing your platform to a size, where its frontpage news when you add a setting :)

Not a big problem.
Yeah I'm super surprised it took this long. I mean even an "audio off on dashboard previews" setting would have sufficed. It's the single most irritating "feature" of any of my TV apps.
All current user ratings systems for movies are terrible because new users can bury a great movie.

There are classic, important, society-changing movies from the previous century that were highly praised by contemporary critics and won scads of awards. But then people today watch them with zero context or understanding of what was happening or what the world was like and give them bad ratings because they can only compare them to the latest shoot-em-up sequel of a sequel of a sequel.

It's one of the reasons Rotten Tomatoes is worthless for anything more than 20 years old, and why the voices of movie critics are needed so badly today.

> Fixed wing planes have remarkable aerodynamic stability and I don't understand why 737 MAX cannot be piloted in a fly by wire manner with all computer aids disabled

It can be. MCAS can be disabled by disabling the electric stability trim system. The problem is that if you do that in a situation where MCAS has already adjusted the trim far enough from where it should be, it can be mechanically impossible to put the trim back where it belongs without using the electric trim system. So you have to first use the electric trim system to put the trim back where it belongs, then disable it so MCAS can't mess it up again.
There are other selection effects, as well. If you have a large population of young, single males with poor employment prospects, there's not much to keep them attached to their home country. If all they have to do is walk across a border (which they can probably muster the resources to attempt, as opposed to a transcontinental voyage), then there's a huge pull to immigrate to the US. In a circumstance like this, there would be a selection effect for the least capable young men (since more capable young men with better prospects would stay behind).

In my opinion, this is probably what explains the vast divergence between the professions that immigrants from Latin American end up in vs. the professions that immigrants from Asia end up in.

> How do you do find someone good that you trust? How do you find someone worth the time?

In my experience the best way to find someone is through recommendations. Find someone with a good therapist, and contact the therapist for recommendations. They usually know other people in the field that work with a similar approach.

I feel CBT only works with simple issues. For trauma and deep running issues I would suggest finding someone who looks into the root of issues and doesn't just try to change behaviours. See psychotherapy for example.

Otherwise it depends on where you live as well.

In Australia, and definitely for NSW:

- look for a psychiatrist instead of a psychologist. With a psychologist you get 10 sessions for free by the government, but then you have to pay the full fee yourself. This ends up being around $150-$250 per session from what I have seen. With a psychiatrist the medicare safety net kicks in, and after $2000 of out of pocket expenses you get 85% of the session fees back. In my case I end up paying ~$40 for my $350 therapy sessions which makes a huge difference when therapy can be going for years.

Happy to help out with recommendations in the NSW Australia area.
Intel seem to be paying a hefty price lately for some security shortcuts they made in hardware compared to AMD (who paid the opportunity cost; security measures don't happen by accident, and they do slow you down).

Good security is getting rarer all the time, and therefore expensive; I think a lot of people would be interested in having a small truly secure system (say, for storing your cryptocurrency keys), and as I wrote, I sincerely don't know where to practically begin with this.

Is it commercially available? Concretely speaking, what can I buy, and what software should I run on it?
> Most airlines won't tell you your aircraft when you book a ticket

I don't think this is remotely true. I just checked Delta and British Airways; both show the aircraft type in "details". (Pick the 747 flights from BA while you still can!)

> even if they do, they seem allowed to change it at the last minute

Airlines shuffle aircraft occasionally, but usually the aircraft type for a particular flight is predictable. If airline A flies the 737 Max and airline B flies the A320 on the same route, people will flock to airline B.
I used to think this was true, until I got older and realized just how bad I am at writing, and how not everything is just math and science.
Thank you so much, you are one of the very few people I have met online who acknowledges that "meditation" is not a single practice.

That said, I am not sure I understand what you mean when you say "cravings and aversion come from how you react to things you may find desirable or undesirable". It seems kinda meaningless, like yeah, I feel aversion when I don't want things to happen and yes, things I don't want to happen are undesirable to me. And yes, desirableness and undesirableness are, of course, connected to me, it is me who decides which things are desirable or undesirable to me.

Like, lets say I fall into sewage treatment tank. Drowning in shit is an undesirable thing and I feel a great aversion to it. And yes, it is me, personally, who finds drowning in shit undesirable, the undesirableness of this outcome is connected to me very directly. But I do not see how meditation might help me.
Newer satellites usually have a fuel budget to de-orbit or at least go into a parking orbit.

> as long as employees (and especially those in tech) do not collectively demand some changes

If my employer has a procedure that reduces the productivity of everybody that they hire, why should I care? It does not reduce my competitivity, and my salary is set by the market, not by any single employer.
Yeah, I'll second what others have said that designing (good) telescopes is not a quick/easy thing. Also, any telescope that is easy to slap together is probably so many orders of magnitudes worse that existing ones that you don't get any usable data from it.

I'll throw a couple examples out for you:

DESI[1] has 5000 individually movable fiber optic cables. It's also sitting on a 4m mirror. It is a massive engineering project, but also would make anything with similar goals that a handful of people could hack together for a few million dollars obsolete. It can get 5000 spectra every 15 mins and a small, slit based telescope can maybe do a handful per night. Large scale projects like "mapping the night sky" are going to be dominated by massive projects. See also GAIA [6]

Space based makes things way harder. Let's take JWST[2] as an example. Someone else has mentioned the tolerances on the mirror. You also need to keep everything cold (7 kelvin!). You need to be able to control this, keep it pointed in the right direction with stunning accuracy, etc, etc. And all this needs to work in space, after being shaken around through a rocket launch.
You also need a really compelling reason to go to space for a telescope. Those reasons include, observing things that you can't see from the ground (X-rays for example). You need really good seeing (no atmosphere). You need really low noise observations. I'd be surprised if those were what a small operation needed. Especially when it makes all the other things (control, servicing, etc) so much harder.

In fact, there are gaps where pretty simple ground based hardware can do good scientific work. Though, it is usually for pretty specific goals. [3] is a bunch of DSLRs that is one of the best instruments for finding really diffuse galaxies which are really interesting systems at the moment.

On the ML techniques, those are definitely being used in astronomy. One recent example [4] but go to ADS and look for things with ML in the title and you'll get a lot.

> I've heard a story where a therapist got upset with their client because the client said, during a therapy session, they were going to find someone else.

That would be a clear sign of a bad therapist. There very much has to be room to discuss seeing someone else, and whether the therapy relationship is working.
Humility is always a good characteristic in people but its something that in order to be genuine it has to be learnt and practiced. My advice is go do some volunteer work for people who are seriously under-privileged in some way, especially ways you cannot fix. Sit with them, hear their stories, feel the frustration you cannot do a damn thing to 'solve their problem', and just try and 'be present' for them in that moment. Do it over a long period of time - this is not a one-hit wonder - and regularly. Helping out in an old-folks home, working with quadraplegics, UNHCR immigrants are all things available to most of us close to home. Even helping at a pet shelter will help somewhat. Do it for a year or two. The most important is to do it regularly and without ego or opinion. And usually the only cost is your time and transport.

Cash flow from operations was negative 3 billion excluding the "cash held by insurer" and capex was 0.5 billion. This puts unlevered free cash flow at closer to negative $3.5B.

The way they are breaking out segments seems to imply that theres heavy losses in non-North America so of they were to shut off the rest of world stuff maybe it looks better.
I think this is generally true until you discover Windows Defender or the Logitech Updater or whatever has lost its mind and been spinning on CPU for the past three hours and now your battery is dead. I have a surface with pretty great battery life, but it's also rather fickle and you can lose hours of runtime because it slept on a pea.
It's not really the same with doctors.

With doctors there are places everyone goes where you can sign up and get a doctor which is relatively easy to schedule. From there for routine stuff there's less variability, you just do your routine checkup, and you'll be referred to experts if necessary.

There's also a higher minimum standard to get an MD.

It's both way easier to find one and easier to determine they're qualified/actually know what they're talking about (though obviously there's still variance in quality just not as bad).

With therapists there's no clarity around any of this really.

> What MCAS actually did was not modifying the pilots inputs, but adjusting the stabilizer trim in certain scenarios.

But MCAS had enough control authority to override the pilots' inputs; the pilots of both crashed aircraft were desperately trying to pull the nose up, but couldn't because MCAS had put in so much nose down trim that they couldn't counteract it.

> The pilots do have direct control over the stabilizer trim, and have always had the ability to disable the electronic system in case of stabilizer trim runaway. This was not new to the MAX, and would have effectively disabled MCAS.

The ability to disable the automatic stabilizer trim system was not new to the MAX, yes.

What was new to the MAX was that, unlike previous 737s, disabling the automatic stabilizer trim system would also disable the manual electric stabilizer trim system, so that the only way to adjust the trim would be by using the mechanical trim wheel. And it was possible for MCAS to adjust the trim into a range where it was mechanically impossible to adjust it back using the mechanical trim wheel.

I'm sure there was a narrow window when you could stream seemingly every film, ancient and modern, legitimately. Then the studios twigged and had to kill it.

Remote work is still challenging though. The nature of not being able to get person-to-person time (regardless of how good video calls get) will always remain a challenge in its own right.

The space issue is fundamental: there just aren't that much space around cities as they stand today. The only pragmatic solutions are:

1) Build up. Everyone wants to live in these areas, so build as tall of buildings as possible and just spread out upwards. Doesn't solve the personal office problem though since Tokyo is super dense but I don't think anybody has a private office?

2) Build new cities. America is big, and there is still plenty of space left to build. But it looks to me like a combination of power-law economics, plus locale desirability, and political willingness to invest into infrastructure is pushing most ordinary people right back into the clutches of 1).

Like other disorders NPD lies on a spectrum.

From a clinical perspective (I'm not a clinician but have been treated by them btw) my understanding is that untreatable NPD presents as basically no remorse and no introspection at all. What would be called a "sociopath" which isn't itself a diagnosis.

So while yes I totally understand what you're talking about, that the attention seeking of the post itself could be considered narcissistic I am taking it at face value and saying there might be a possibility of some rehab. So my suggestion og talking with a mental health provider is the right option here.
Boeing took the "we'll do very rigorous engineering up front and prove everything on paper" approach, where SpaceX took the "we'll prove it works by actually launching it" approach (which isn't to say SpaceX isn't operating with engineering rigor).

In theory Boeing ran all their simulations over the past couple years, and this flight should have just been a formality. As it turns out, Boeing is running into a lot of issues when they actually test their hardware.
I'd settle for a "I don't ever want to see this movie, do not show it to me again" button. But of course, if we used it to winnow away the chaff, it would show in stark detail how sparse their catalog really is.
Same, and I called to cancel to let them know. For me though the autoplaying trailers were the last straw. The UI/declining quality of offerings, to the point where i would spend so much time looking for something new/interesting I'd get bored and close the app. I really dont think this alone will bring me back. Sad because I used to love Netflix, had subscribed back in the DVD days.
Stress, especially without robust coping mechanisms, can make you withdrawn.

That can show up as lack of empathy and selfishness. You can be selfish and not be a narcissist.

The oxygen mask rule applies here. You can’t take care of anyone else while you’re floundering. Counterintuively, making a conscious effort to take care of yourself may free up energy for helping others. Right now you might be choosing you by default. And since it’s undirected, the costs are higher and the benefits lower.
