CF prices have come down rapidly in the past 20 years and it's becoming the standard structural material for original airframes. It's more workable and less exotic than it was before. I think most, if not all, aviation startups are using it, like the Icon A5.
Concurrency is one of those core features which is hard to add after-the-fact, and so the initial design strongly determines the course of the language's life. It requires re-opening such fundamentals as what does it mean to call a function, or assign to a variable.

"Nobody is using Ruby for multithreading" is both cause and effect.

That's why I'm not terribly optimistic about projects like this (or the proposed Swift 6). That's not how these things work. Can you imagine a language which features good concurrency support today (like Erlang or Clojure) having been launched without it, and then announcing 5 (or 25) years later "We're going to address concurrency now"?
Much easier since you can slowly morph an elephant or pidgin into a mammoth or passenger pigeon (DNA methylation etc. )
I believe it's "eXperimental Boom - 1" but I doubt they mind the coincidence.
Poland is a big enough country, and so a lot of the traveling is going to be domestic, or from other EU countries with which the borders are opened as the curve flattens in them, too. The authorities know that the weather is getting warmer and some people are going to travel for leisure and they can't really stop that. But also, a town’s accommodation options will be used by business travelers, or by people visiting family who, for whatever reason, cannot stay at those relatives’ homes, and that represents money coming into a local community which might really need it now.
This is probably a dumb question, but if the wings are now closed forever, how does one do maintenance or inspection of the mechanical flight control systems composed of cables and pulleys? Is the expectation that the XB-1 is going to be used in flight for far less than the design life of those mechanical systems?

The same argument could apply when you take plants or animals from one continent to another when those continents haven't been connected for tens of millions of years.

Yet somehow camels or kangaroos seem to have no trouble living in each others environments.

In fact, you see a bit of the reverse - Banana skin rapidly decomposes in tropical forests where bananas grow, but take one to frigid Norway and drop a banana skin in a forest and you'll still be able to find it in 5 years, while local stuff is decomposing around it.

Let me get this straight... people whose businesses rely on the existence of the .io TLD are donating to a campaign group that wants the TLD's raison d'être to be abolished? Smart.

I mean, consider a hypothetical. Let's say there's a whole swathe of businesses that have no connection to the American South, but for whatever hipster reasons occurred briefly in their subculture, all have brand logos that feature the confederate flag. At some point, someone points out that this flag represents the fight to defend slavery and lots of African-Americans and their supporters are still very upset that justice has not been done. Do the hipster business owners say to themselves: oh dear, I don't like this ugly historical incident that is indicated by a significant part of our branding, and neither do my customers more to that matter, so I'd better stop using that flag and rebrand to something else? Or do they say, actually I think the flag is really pretty and it makes my organisation look modern and cool, so how about I assuage my guilt by donating to a support group that just happens to be also campaigning for the abolition of that flag that I want to continue to use?

If you don't think the BIOT should exist, don't stake your business on its continuing existence. And good luck invading Diego Garcia, it's much more heavily defended than the Falklands were.
Certainly something we're looking into!

Consumer psychology and the problem of fine-print fraud
There’s still a long way to go in that case.

Yes. Stanford's recent study says 2-4% of the population of Santa Clara County has been infected. Those are probably reasonable bounds. Herd immunity is around 80% for this. So about 20 to 40 times as many people need to die before it's over.

That test needs to be repeated weekly to get the growth rate. (Preferably not with the scheme from Verity, which requires that you sign up for a Google account.[1])
Now that California hospital admissions and deaths for COVID-19 have flattened, growth should be linear for a while. But the rate of increase is still not really known.

Still, we're probably looking at a year and a million deaths in the US, within a factor of 2 either way.

I can't speak to the conditions at Amazon warehouses since I don't know anyone who works there, but warehouse jobs are hard physical labor. Add on top shitty management and I can see why they'd look for alternatives.

The warehouse I worked in doesn't sounds that different. I worked the night shift, so had the joy of working in temperatures of 100F because the tar roof would radiate heat all night and there was minimal ventilation. Dust gets everywhere so you have a nice coating of sweat and dirt after a shift. Once time the warehouse was flood, but product needed to go out, so it was 100F and 90% humidity.

Still a better job than the alternatives I had!

That's good to hear! I really wanted "hosted AD" from a cloud a few years ago, and Azure definitely did not offer this... or they marketed it so poorly I could not find it anywhere. :(

AWS has straight up guides for do's/dont's, and various ways to integrate their AD service with yours, including multiple scenarios such as running them as the masters of the forest, with read-only's on-site, and vice-versa.
But they are endorsing the products the creepy is the user rating not Mozilla's.
I wanted to give everyone a heads up here, this is genuinely a terrible site. I like the things mozilla does more generally. But this site...

These product listings are USER RATED! And they're sorted based on users ratings.

General users will vote for anything positive to indicate they like it, and anything negative to indicate they hate it. "Is this product good value?" "Yes." "Is this a luxury product?" "Yes." "Is this product affordable?" "Yes." All stand in's for good. So if you ask a general user if something is creepy, the answer you will get back is either "It's good" or "It's bad".

These aren't products that meet rigorous privacy guidelines, or are open source, or products from companies that go out of their way to keep their services zero-knowledge. This is a popularity contest page. This is not the place to get advice on privacy respecting products.

Take note on what guidelines Mozilla here seems to establish, one of them is hilariously: "Privacy Policy. Yes they have one"

Commercial application is the motivation behind patent law, and logical consistency is not the point, but rather legal consistency. When you patent an algorithm you do not patent the idea any more than you patent thermodynamics when you patent an engine. You patent a particular application of an idea that performs some function or functions. The algorithm -- or thermodynamics -- stay completely free for anyone to know, study and disseminate. In fact, patents are designed to make the knowledge public so that they could be studied and improved upon.

Whether or not it works is a separate question (and I completely agree that software patents do not perform their role), but patenting a device to predict stock prices is not patenting math, just as patenting a drug is not patenting chemistry.

Google gets worse all the time but its still better than everything else.

I use Google for security research. It tries so hard to protect users that its ruining its search results for anything technical.
Cure.fit seems to be the overarching brand name and Cult is the physical fitness part of it. And AFAIR, you could sign up with email.

No, or at least I haven't found one. I was recently forced to upgrade from 14.04 and tried the default configuration in 18.04 (clean install) for a while before I gave up and installed Unity -- which, thankfully, is in the package manager. That at least got me back to the point where I could configure things critical to my workflow like having a 3x3 workspace switcher. The system has fought me every step of the way though -- especially with things like global hotkeys which have about half a dozen different places they can be configured and it's completely inconsistent what works where.

I've literally spent weeks trying to get back to the level of usability I had on my 14.04 setup -- compiling old/patched versions of software from source because the "improved" versions removed features I depend on or otherwise fucked up the interface (I cannot understand why anyone thought removing typeahead from Nautilus was a good idea!), trying every damned thing I can think of to debug the global hotkey problems (still can't get IME switching to work right reliably... it works for a while after I fiddle with it then just stops working and I have no clue why), and just generally having a bad time.
My charger is an Apple product; it was the lowest-price charger they had available ($73 after tax). Two components:

>> Microsoft announced this past week that they are going to be releasing an app to help manage money, called Money in Excel. The new feature will be a part of Microsoft 365 and is going to mirror many of the features and qualities available in the tech giant’s Excel spreadsheets both in appearance and the way it works. With the new app, users will be able to sync their credit card and bank accounts to it in order to automatically keep track of purchases, deposits, and each accounts’ balance. Money in Excel will be able to help users identify trends and patterns in their spending along with several key components to keep users up-to-date on their accounts.

Help me out. I am naive about neural networks. I have skimmed the paper, read the abstract and he conclusion and looked at the examples.

Does this not illustrate what is the fatal flaw in image recognition based approaches with neural networks, that their failure modes are inscrutable?

80% or 95% of the time they do well but the corner cases where they do poorly they fail in ways that are entirely unlike the was our brains' systems fail. Unpredictably. So they can be useful for non critical applications but not critical applications. Like self driving cars....

Stages of grief here... I was looking forward to my car with a cocktail cabinet that would drive me to parties and home again... I believed the hype five years ago. Is this why progress has stalled?
Nothing stops you hooking up a regular PC to do route validation and run the BGP protocol and stuff, and load validated routes into any router you choose.

Ultrasound inspection is very common for multi-layer composite construction. There are large machines which transmit the ultrasound through a water jet, for use in mapping the characteristics of curved surfaces. This water jet ultrasound non-destructive testing (NDT) is used in aerospace for carbon laminates.

That said, 'tapping' is an acoustic inspection technique, and can get good results.

I am not sure why they selected the manual option, but they probably have a reason.

Mint.com's budget feature let's you choose to roll over money.
I did an electrical estimate for an unnamed software company office buildout a few months ago. The light fixture package alone was $19/sqft, not including labor. Our entire scope is usually $15-18/sqft, which includes all labor, material, rentals, permits, and taxes.

I wasn’t sure if they just wanted to blow a bunch of money, or if the architects were taking them for a ride.

Except you can't really have such a thing as a large group of people have an equal say in control of anything, c.f. democracy. It is the mechanics that are the issue.

If you are talking about workers being "shareholders" then that's still capitalism.

The reason government comes into play in socialism is because you still need decision makers and decision makers concentrate power. You have a democracy today that is basically turning into an oligarchy, and the belief is that by some magic if we transferred control of "means of production" to workers this would change.

Ok, divide Amazon's shares across its workers. What have you changed? Who comes up with the list of options for them to choose from? What happens to their stock aka "control" once they leave the company? There are a million tiny details which when you work through show you why it is not workable and at best you end up back here today.

The fundamental problem we are dealing with is allocation of resources, and the masses not being sufficiently informed to make decisions. Until you solve that problem every system you put in place corrupts, some worse than others and some with few mechanisms for correction and recovery.
This page wasn't immediately clear to me.

Looking at this a first the fact they're organized from less creepy to most creepy was lost.

I had to enable a script hosted on mofoprod.com to get the smiling face to indicate that products were voted as creepy.
Also voiting options did show.

Text explaining that users are rating products and they are ordered by creppy rating could be helpful.
I don't think he is arguing against new ideas. He is arguing against a trend in UI design. In some cases, he's arguing against novelty for novelty's sake.

As for cultural change being a positive force: I agree. However, for a lot of people computers are mainly tools to achieve a goal, not a goal in themselves. Just like you would be annoyed if your screwdriver was deprecated, and instead all that was supported was a power screwdriver -- yes, it's useful sometimes, but don't test your newfangled ideas on me when all I needed was an old fashioned screwdriver.

My metaphor is flawed because physical screwdrivers don't deprecate themselves out of existence, but you get the idea: for most people, computers are just tools. Change to see "what sticks" is annoying and they don't want to become guinea pigs.

Particularly irritating is when the screwdriver manufacturer tells you that a- manual screwdrivers are no longer supported, and b- you were unscrewing screws the "wrong" way -- like desktop environment developers sometimes tell their users: "it's wrong to want icons on your desktop" ("but that's what I like and always did!" "Well, you're wrong, feature removed!")

True, and that 0.37% number is probably the number with adequate hospital resources. If everyone caught this at once, there will be triaging of patients and the overall mortality rate would be higher.

Krita matured nicely over the years and last time I found it quite easy to use.

UI is hard. It got replaced by "UX", but nobody agrees what that really is. So it boils down to whatever impracticality designers dream up. When UI was easy, there were real research, data backing up claims of improvements and laid down rules to enforce some consistency. This became "unfashionable" and was removed.
