From article:

From boeing.com:

90% of 160 is 144. The math checks out.

I watched a lot of old Time Team episodes lately and this looks like more of the same from the era. Really nice, complex looking work but overall what can be expected for the time period. Cool that it's so well preserved though and hasn't suffered from having a plow or seismic event turn it into a puzzle.
the CDC advice on not wearing masks early on was pure BS. pure BS and misinformation spread to cover lack of resources.

Check out the history of the Rabies vaccine, where the virus was weakened through aging:

> derived from the spinal cord of an inoculated rabbit which had died of rabies 15 days earlier.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabies_vaccine#History

> A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inactivated_vaccine

> The virus is killed using a method such as heat or formaldehyde.

> Whole virus vaccines use the entire virus particle, fully destroyed using heat, chemicals, or radiation.

> Split virus vaccines are produced by using a detergent to disrupt the virus.

> Subunit vaccines are produced by purifying out the antigens that best stimulate the immune system to mount a response to the virus, while removing other components necessary for the virus to replicate or survive or that can cause adverse reactions

I intended to imply causation. I deeply enjoyed your not-at-all condescending lecture about how gullible, biased, and imprecise I am, though. In return, I will advise you not to be presumptuous about internet strangers' intelligence.

> something no one is able to know

Untrue. What if you just asked voters, "Why did you vote for Trump?" Or what if you asked them, "What issues are important to you?"

Some of the best predictors of Trump support were:

- support for building a wall to prevent undocumented immigration from Mexico[1][2]

- anxiety about immigration in general[1]

- a belief that the US is, was, and must remain a white, Christian nation[3]

In fact, a majority of Republicans see immigrants (legal or not) in general as being a net-negative on society[4].

There is a reason Trump's rallying cry was "build the wall". There is a reason he is the candidate of choicee for white nationalists (which is not to say that I'm claiming that all of his supporters are white nationalists). Most Americans agree with me, though[5].

I'd actually like infrastructure to be at home. When I was in college, my "infrastructure" consisted of a PC running Linux in my dorm room, a good bit slower than a Raspberry Pi. It was fine for managing my documents, email, etc.

For some context they certified the Dragan capsule with a LOC (loss of crew) rating of 1 in 270, which is more than double what the shuttle had (IIRC it ranged from 1 in 10 for the first shuttle flight to 1 in 90 towards the end of the career)

Random detail, but "Maximator" is a type of beer (a Starkbier/Doppelbock) brewed by the the very popular Augustiner brewery, not a brand in itself. In fact, it's a Bavarian tradition for the names of Doppelbocks to generally end in "-ator": Celebrator, Optimator, Animator...

Realtime is definitely our strongest feature so right now. We started Supabase to solve a problem at our previous startup, where we built a chat application using Firebase. Within a few months we discovered our customers were receiving their chats out-of-order and it took another few more days to figure out it was due to some Firebase quirks.

We migrated to Postgres and started with Triggers/NOTIFY. But that also has some limitations (8000 byte payload limit), so we implemented the Elixir server: https://github.com/supabase/realtime

Interesting. I wonder who thought to add this test into the contract. It's a simple but brilliant strategy.
One area where curation will fail is in "fancy bias". As in, the same bias that keeps crowd pleasing entertainment from winning awards.

People who are in the curation business (critics, reviewers, etc.) tend to favor things that make themselves look good to other people in the curation business. That is often opposite what the "unwashed masses" of people enjoy.

Prime example - Michael Bay movies. Michael Bay makes big, loud, entertaining movies with lots of explosions, bright lights, shiny objects, violence, and sex appeal. A "curator" is usually too snooty to recommend a movie like that.

An algorithm doesn't much care if a movie is artfully crafted, it only cares if people watch what is recommended. In the long run, an algo is more likely to give people what they want than a curator is.

If anything, curators over the long term seem to make a living telling people what they aren't supposed to like (or have access to).
We've been doing curbside pick up for groceries for the past few months and fresh food and produce are definitely the biggest problem with the substitutions being the second. The substitutions would probably be better/less often in more normal times, but the fresh food selection problem is always going to be there. For now we do it because our health is more important than our fruit quality, but we won't continue it when things achieve some level of normalcy again.
Sounds like a blog. Maybe you should publish those notes. Most people won't find it useful. Some people might.
Additionally, there have been times when perishables like non pasteurized juice, and milk have gone bad when I had them delivered. I realized that I do a good job of picking those items last during a trip to the store, and I drive home immediately afterwards, while the picker/delivery person is probably not incentivized to do the same.
I should have said "In the US" because frustratingly there are often cars overseas which look rad and are priced well but never make an appearance here.

This one looks neat and the price/ speeds would work fine for me.
Imagine how inspiring it would be for modern folks today to see these mosaics in their own homes instead of... carpeting. Rugs are cool. Wall to wall carpeting is gross, and unimaginative. I am not a fan.

A few years ago I was in Fez, stayed in a 600 year old riad with original tile. And yes it was breathtaking and inspiring every day. A few days before, I was in Volubilis (وليلي)a long abandoned Roman town. Every home had these mosaic tiled floors.
"Allow substitutions" is the risky click of 2020.

> Demo-2 is the final major test for SpaceX’s human spaceflight system to be certified by NASA for operational crew missions to and from the International Space Station.

The two astronauts along with the Falcon 9 will be docking with the ISS and then returning home. No crew swap is happening, which seems like a waste of energy. I get that SpaceX isn't "operationally certified", but is a crew swap inherently more risky?

With production halted for indefinite time for the 737 MAX, and no new orders for other planes due to covid that seems reasonable.

Still, even if planes don't do well right now and they had a few setbacks in their space business (Starliner delayed, and Boeing's moon lander proposal losing to competitors), they are still one of the largest defense contractors. They will be just fine.
I will continue to refrain from looking at anything the Fed might be doing. I already have enough on my plate to worry about.

> most basic thing to do for science (a RCT) is not done.

Randomised Controlled Trials are the gold standard but not the "most basic thing". They are the ideal we'd like to have but often simply aren't an option.

One of the most obvious reasons we often can't do a trial is that we have good reason to believe it would be unreasonably dangerous, which is why these trials stopped.

The opposite scenario happens sometimes too. If all patients treated with Hydroxychloroquine magically got better they'd stop the trial and recommend immediately using it on similar patients.

There is a German Wikipedia page on the topic. I created an English one that paraphrases the German one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Maximator_(Spying_Allian...

The issue isn't so much high wind but wind shear. Namely when you pass through a sharp change in air direction there's a bending force applied to the rocket that's proportional to the vehicle speed and atmospheric density. This can get very high and risk destroying the rocket.
Playing devil's advocate: an enormous amount of food waste is caused by people simply refusing to buy ugly food. It's literally less wasteful to shave off most of a carrot so that it's a baby carrot, than to try to sell the same carrots as-is. There's nothing wrong with the ugly carrots--but they'll rot on the shelves.

Bruised apples are perfectly edible. Maybe you just don't like them, and that's fine--there's no accounting for taste. But I don't think it's outlandish for someone to give you a bruised apple.

Broken bones in chicken aren't harmful--the traditional way of preparing jerk chicken involves chopping the chicken with a knife that just cleaves through the bones. Again, your preference here is valid, but it's your preference, not something that's objectively better.

And these are some of the less extreme examples--being involved in my local CSA, I've heard people complain about potatoes with dirt on them, and literally heard someone refuse to buy eggs because they farmer got them from her own chickens. A lot of people's preferences around food aren't just arbitrary, they're downright illogical.

Substitutions and expired food are obviously problematic--there's lots of room for delivery services to do better. But I am not convinced that the average person does a much better job selecting their food based on "quality".
Think the biggest issue we have in the tech community is this belief that all content should be accessible to all people with no conditions. All things are equal.

Unfortunately, that is not the case. Ask any parent, and I would wager that they feel really strong about what content their kids should be able to access.

Yes, there are aways to bypass, but that doesn't mean we should not deploy some controls to help reduce, limit, its ease of access.

I'll add another non-technical reason: ML is a Google core-competency, and has been for some time now[1], but it is/was not central to Apple.

I don’t know how other states do it, but I’m assuming you’re given a “ballot ID” that your vote is associated with (instead of your name). So if someone opened your vote-by-mail ballot, all they’d have is your ballot ID, so they wouldn’t know who voted for who.

Also, what stops someone from doing that with the current voting system? We have computers do the counting with little to no oversight; They could easily be programmed to report people who “voted the wrong way.”

With regards to your variation, that’s an inherent weakness of vote-by-mail, yes. There’s not much that can be done about that other than outlawing vote-by-mail.[^a]

[^a]: Due to the way the Constitution is written, the power to decide the method of voting is not with the federal government. As such, the Tenth Amendment delegates that power to the states. Meaning, the power to require “secret ballots” rests with the states, and many do not have such requirements in their Constitutions. It also means that the federal government can’t outlaw vote-by-mail without a Constitutional amendment.
This is not really true. The rich (patricians) formed entire houses and used combination of wealth and political influence to maintain their positions. Even if their number wasnt greater than few thousands, they de-facto owned the Italy during Roman Republic.

Relatively speaking, they were most numerous within Rome, but they also owned lands they had lower class people and slaves farm for them that they sometimes visited.
Yes, very close.

The way brands package, label, and market their goods is not compatible with online shopping. In the store, a person can quickly evaluate value and buy different options on sale that they enjoy less than another product, but are a good bargain. Online, however, that type of shopping is a rabbit hole of overthought. It takes too long. The only way to speed it up is to remove the idea of evaluating options for value. Make everything a good value. If you can't do that for some product, then let it go out of stock.

Online shopping needs consistent pricing. People want to order what they like, at a fair value, and at prices that could only change every 4 to 6 weeks. If you're in the supply chain, figure this out please.
It's both. They have a handle below the screen precisely for this reason. [1] You can grab it and press the buttons below/tap the lower part of the screen above with your thumb. This seems much more reasonable and pragmatic than the sci-fi looking mockup they originally presented. [2] Although my understanding is that it's probably not a huge problem, because Soyuz introduced the stick to push the buttons only in its later variants.

Also, judging from the photos, they seem to have their button covers supported by the frame. In 2003, there was an incident when a cosmonaut inadvertently fired RCS thrusters on the Soyuz attached to the station, simultaneously pushing several buttons with his foot while loading the spacecraft with cargo to be returned to Earth, crushing the protective caps that were pressing against the (relatively flimsy) case. The thrusters fired for quite some time until a ground operator noticed it and turned them off remotely. After that, the covers in Soyuz were redesigned to press against the frame. Seems like that incident has been learned from in Crew Dragon as well.

> go for a 2 hour drive on your own every day if you miss that commute

I have a fifteen minute commute door to door. Up until a couple years ago it was a five minute commute.

People's work situations are different. Just because you don't enjoy going to the office doesn't mean everyone feels the same.

I've been able to come to the office still through all of this and it's been a godsend. I have a wife and three young kids at home. Being around and trying to work is just an exercise in frustration for everyone.
Dress for the job you want still applies. Just don't over-do it or miss the mark so it looks like you're trying too hard but out of the loop.
I grew up in Farmington, this was my first thought, but also the rate of homelessness off the rez has always been very high (also with the same comorbidities), throw in the drop in oil price over the last 5 years, you have an area with additional economic depression.

Factors affecting attitudes toward migrants–An evolutionary approach
An AI degree that doesn't teach anything about learning about the real world from data (the stats that scientists get) seems really weird, even if that does seem to be the state of things. AI is about learning and decisionmaking, and the learning side is currently pretty heavy on the pattern recognition side, but why bake that into the education? You can't teach someone to automate learning without teaching them to learn the old fashioned way. There's a reason basic statistical inference and experimental design is such a foundation for every scientific field, but it's always missing in these AI progressions. It's sure as hell present in the jobs people going through these degrees will probably end up in.

> There is no amount of money that can be paid to someone where there is non-zero risk of dying or having long-lasting damages to your brain, heart or lungs.

Hard disagree based on experience. The clinical testing of many drug classes are entirely dependent on many people being too uneducated or desperate to consider those types of risks.
>is it suggested to just deploy [variolation] without testing?

Yes: the blog post by economist Robin Hanson suggested deploying it without waiting for the results of testing. (Of course, it would be good to test as fast and as much as possible concurrent with the deployment.)

"deploying it": making available to the public a variolation service or procedure designed by medical experts.
