It feels like you are responding to a point I didn’t make.

It’s not so much that the metaphors break down under scrutiny, it’s that they didn’t really make much sense to me in the first place.
Or Google and Facebook turn off their sites with an explanatory message, starting worldwide riots and revolutions.

Their use of the data is subject to section 4.3 of the ODBL. The language there demands a notice "reasonably calculated" to make the user "aware" of the data source. It doesn't demand on map attribution.

Attribution on the map is a clear, easy way to meet that bar (and acknowledges the many OSM contributors that see a prominent notice as being necessary to meet the license), but it isn't clear that the court tested bar will be so high.

Note that I'm not drawing "We'll see you in court" as a good way for a company to act towards a community, just commenting on where and how their obligations are defined.

While the drama that happened there can't be denied, it is tiresome to see Romania in 2020 still presented in this light.

I've been browsing hn.algolia.com for articles posted in the past year about various countries and I think Romania wins hands down on bad image. Is Romania the bogeyman of civilisation? Well, supposedly Dracula comes from here too!

Just a side comment.
They absolutely can clear someone to land while traffic is still taking off on the runway. Generally they will have the landing traffic go around if they can’t get the taking off traffic off fast enough. I believe somewhere they can also land traffic with traffic still on the runway if they have three thousand feet of clearance.
>(1) Use only 5GHz for Wi-Fi. Turn off 2.4GHz WiFi - it's an overloaded, noisy spectrum band.

This is an extremely bad idea in some countries, or if you’re not careful which channel you select. In nearly all countries some of the 5ghz channels are shared with RADAR and require DFS. In some countries (eg Germany) all of the channels do.

The idea behind DFS is to detect radar pulses and then shut down the network for a period of time, this can be triggered by radar or interference.

The naive approach if you're a developer who knows React is to use React for everything.
My (admittedly) conspiracy theory fear is that a regulated facebook is a facebook tightly embedded in government ("It's ok to require a facebook account to sign up for xyz public service, it's regulated by the government!").
I assume people think the answer to private corporations “framing the debate” is for government to pass laws. The same government that is trying to enforce backdoors to encryption and is already using facial recognition to harass people who “fit the description”.
It looks like an auto-generated PCB to me. Cool stuff.
If you disagree, you should at least articulate why.
The "Southern way of life" is a palimpsest and a shibboleth. I wouldn't put that much stock in it. What's supposed to be unique about it is only typical of any largely rural, largely working-class region. Cities in the South are the same as cities anywhere else in the US. Twenty years ago I might have added "with a bit more income inequality", but these days I think that's getting to be also pretty much the same all over.

Focusing on the South in a discussion of what's wrong with white people in this country is a mistake. It's a ubiquitous mistake and a deliberate one, because making it all about someone else is an easy way to let yourself off the hook. But it's still a mistake.

Partly it's a mistake because of the resentment it elicits from the people you place in the role of your sin eaters. That's the sort of thing that would make anyone unwilling even for a moment to consider abandoning their heroes, no matter how ill served they may be to preserve them.

But mainly it's a mistake because it gives you an excuse not to think about, or even notice, the part of the problem that you yourself are being, that the white people around you are being.

White people in the South have had a hundred and fifty years of hearing from everybody else white in the country how terrible they are. I know; I grew up there. Imagine my surprise when, on leaving home to make a life for myself somewhere with better prospects, I discovered that no one anywhere else is any better. Imagine my surprise when I discovered there were people who'd assume from my origins and my way of speaking that, in me, they had at last found someone with whom they could air their real feelings. Imagine my surprise when I realized that I'd been wrong all those years to think, as so many were so anxious to convince us all, that there was something uniquely wrong with the South.

Well, I was oblivious to a lot of things, growing up. But, as my back and my knees let me know every morning, that was a long time ago. To remain oblivious now, despite the historical moment unfolding all around us - I don't know what that would take.

A lot of effort, I imagine. I have family who to this day won't speak the name of William Sherman without a curse - not that I blame them; my family is one of many who still bear the scars of his attempt to make a point - and even some of them are starting to think thoughts new to them. It bewilders me to imagine how anyone, in the current moment, could avoid new ways of thinking.

If we're going to try to figure out anything here, why don't we make it that?
Precession and torque are uniquely important to understand in tailwheel aircraft where you are pitching the plane up and down while the wheels remain on the ground. The thing that always bothers me about the explanations personally is how rarely it is explained that precession is a function of the change in angle, torque the change in power, slipstream absolute torque, and p-factor absolute angle.

I don't know what reduction is enough.
Clarity is only useful when the variable scope is complicated, which it isn’t here. The problem COULD be that the ultra-short variable names make an unclear external API… but given the function is internal, the context of its use would make it rather obvious it’s constructing HTML elements.

You’re not wrong about clarity; it wouldn’t hurt here at all, but it wouldn’t hinder without, so I imagine it’s to reduce cognitive load and make it abundantly clear the function is logicless glue.
Depends what qualifies as suitable. With enough engineering you could establish a colony practically anywhere with access to energy and matter. More near term, you could build self contained environments on or below the surface of planets and moons or in orbit. Longer term (slightly?), you could modify your biology to thrive in harsher conditions. Even further out, just bring your "planet" with you it would be a true wanderer then.
Wow! If you disagree with something, it's "offensive garbage."

Without regulations there is no advantage.
Yes, but so far it has been a unchecked power grab. The balance has tipped in the wrong direction, because both extremes are the wrong direction. That's how balance works. If we push back against the power grab and come up with a compromise, then we can call it a reevaluation and throw around the word "balance."

I also object to your wording around "bad guys" and "good guys." When Joe LEO wants to use the state surveillance apparatus to spy on his ex, is he a "good guy"? When the FBI mailed MLK Jr a suicide letter, was MLK the "bad guy"?
Open Society Foundations – How We Work
TLDR: the author is asking an honest question, not trying to say that non square matrices have little use in linear algebra.

As linear transformations of space into itself, a very frequent operation, are described by a square matrix those matrices do show up more frequently. But map X into Y of different dimensions and you get a non-square matrix
Well, browse to a FB page on mobile, and play "find the data source". When you lose that game, I'd say they did not "make the user aware".
Indeed! I swore off Web development a couple times because of the mess but now my whole party games platform is made with plain JS, no bundling, no post-processing, no big frameworks and it's pretty good. (Although I did recently augment it with some JSDoc types, for long-term maintainability)

At least three devs have asked why I wasn't using some reactive framework or big library. I know why: I'm much more productive without! Simple DOM helpers go a long way: https://jklm.fun/common/dom.js

It's very unclear how an ethical person is supposed to be behave. If we believe that this huge machine is destroying the planet, surely we should stop participating in it - and yet if we do that, we become unable to support ourselves.

I compensate by trying to consume as little in my personal life, and trying to get jobs that aren't unethical.
whats unsavory about sending messages from a popular profile and people finding that attention intriguing and less likely to ignore?

not "earning" the popularity the way anyone imagined? every form of valuable popularity requires capital and external help. it has the same affect with the populous. sycophants with romantic interest are predictable.
The main assumptions you need to be wary of data harvesting are:

1. (Some) people will act against your best interest for their own gain (most often to get money, but, sometimes, to undermine people or ideas they do not like)

2. There are always things that you believe/stand for (pro-abortion, pro-BLM, anti-vaccine, anti-pesticide, pro-house garden, etc.) that someone somewhere disagrees with. These are increasingly identifiable and actionable on.

3. There are always traits (skin color, medical disposition, height, IQ, etc.) that are identifiable and therefore actionable on.

4. Modern data collection is much less visible and obvious than it's ever been. This means the people doing this collection and the people acting on this data are subject to less societal and legal pushback than before, and receive this pushback much later along the line (meaning they can build more momentum behind whatever they're doing before getting called out, if they ever are)

5. Data is never secure indefinitely. Eventually, there's a good chance it's sold to the highest bidder, regardless of who that bidder is or what their intentions are.

With the above assumptions, we can see people are more empowered to discriminate against and take advantage of others. They are also more easily able to remove civil liberties without getting called out.

I think some people believe that the people who would do this kind of thing are few and far between, but it only takes one person with weird ideas and some clout getting this kind of capability to make life miserable for a group of people. And people probably underestimate the number of people with low empathy in the population.

I mostly agree but would say wired is a better technology than wireless in terms of safety, reliability and cost. I only use wireless for an occasional phone call usually on the road in case of car trouble, with my keyboards and with my Visonic home security system sensors.

I think you'd know if there were.

As far as I know (not a physicist), it takes infinite energy to reach FTL, so out of the question with modern science as you've said.

As a non scientist, I'm also confused with some of the relativistic implications of FTL. I think motion through space and motion through time add up to the speed of light. If so, time would freeze when hitting the speed of light, but does that happen to the traveler moving at C, or to the outside observer? Also, if traveling faster than light (FTL), do I go back in time? Again, is that from the traveler or outsiders perspective?

As far as getting FTL, you've probably heard of the Alcuberrie (spelling) drive which expands spacetime behind a ship and contracts in front of it to push a ship through spacetime via a bubble? Sounds great, but I think it requires exotic materials which don't exist. So we're stuck. I'm pointing this out in the chance you don't already know this.

My hope is that within the next century or millennia, our understanding of math and physics will advance to a point to where things like wormholes become possible, but it'll be long after I'm dead. What worries me is if we're nearing the end of what the human brain is capable of realistically uncovering. Like if my brain's network was significantly denser and able to think better, maybe we could come up with something? I don't think the solutions to the next problems will be a single equation like some physicists like to claim (note they're far more qualified than I to speculate on this). I just see things like the proof for Fermat's Last Theorem that is like 80 pages and one man took like a decade to figure out and other mathematicians took like a year to check. Someone like me has zero chance of intellectually following that. If we have indeed "picked all the low hanging fruit" we can expect very small marginal gains in the upcoming years even with legions of scientists.

My hope is that we're just in another phase waiting for another Newton or Einstein to come up with a single beautiful idea that revolutionizes the field and leads to an explosion of progress.
Do national myths need to be heroic? When we started virus measures (lasting two months), the government didn't invoke William Tell, instead leaning on the spirit of "Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno."

Two american songs that resonate most with my head-canon of the "American Dream" are:

"Coat of Many Colors" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYAdKXzGtcY

"This Land" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRnHx3yVuf4

neither of which are particularly statue-wise heroic. But it's been a long time since I've been in the States. What are some current national mythos songs there?
Honestly I wish health insurance companies would be more willing to use data for billing. Someone who works to stay fit should be rewarded vs a fat individual or someone doing extreme sports. I know some insurance pays for health monitoring watches and gives bonuses, but mine still doesn't.

I don't support insurance billing more for predisposition to disease, but that's already covered under the law so your point 1 is kind of irrelevant.
If the same act happened to any other 'rally', they (Trump supporters) would be branded as 'trolls' or 'internet trolling behaviour', which doesn't seem to be good on either side.

How the Economic Machine Works – Ray Dalio
There are many “Souths”. Since we are on the subject of James Baldwin, i would recommend his essay collection “Nobody Knows My Name”. The essay itself is insightful even today into the killing of Rayshard Brooks, the subsequent uprising, and the subsequent response of largely Black leadership in Atlanta. To quote (the essay was written in 1959):

“
On any night, in that other part of town, a policeman may beat up one Negro too many...And the island on which these Negroes have built their handsome houses will simply disappear“.

An anecdote that may complexify things a bit. My grandfather’s grandfather was a Black Civil War veteran who settled in Alabama near Opelika after the war. We believe one of son was lynched by the Klan. The founders of the Black Panther party grew up in the surrounding area. The South has many stories and perspectives.

>"It is hard to convince someone of facts when their identity depends on ignoring those facts."

is this a paraphrasing of the upton sinclair quotation? if so i think the upton sinclair quotation is more insightful - what people are really hidebound to is not identity but money.
It depends on what is being built. Pixel perfect on the first iteration is not a great idea. Because on the first iteration we are usually trying to figure out “does this even solve the problem” and show that to users. After many iterations you have a rough plan. Then you build a quirky mock with existing components you have. Then you let users play with it and find existing rough edges and smooth them out.

Then you build a much nicer version (perhaps pixel perfect) and then have a lot of users play with it, and then your analytics funnels tell you where the bottlenecks are. So you make even more iterations until you make something that solves the problem in a delightful manner and users are going bonkers about it.

The TLDR is, there is no point getting pixel perfect in the first iteration. Good software requires tons of iterations and the entire pm-design-eng-user workflow should be optimized for faster iterations and learning.

A good design system + mockups get your that.

That's great for techies like us, but terrible for the 1000x more people who want stuff to "just work".

As an example, Windows partially exposes that with my current setup and it's a right pain, when some apps (e.g. Zoom) decide they preferentially want to use some other bluetooth codec than the one I actually chose.

Most people really just want one thing which says "headphones" and for the software/hardware to Just Work.

The term was mainly introduced by Shoshana Zuboff in her book "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" [0]. She was describing the way in which organisations harvest personal data to fabricate prediction products than can be traded.

She isn't saying "if you aren't paying for a product then you are the product". She is saying that our clicks are the raw material from which Surveillance Capitalists create a product they can sell. E.g. Facebook use our interactions and meta data to build a rich social graph, and when an advertiser wants a list of people who meet certain criteria, Facebook can then provide them with a list.

This is different to the reasons that governments typically conduct surveillance.

They do save.

Its not in salary that you see the money. The savings are in training and legal costs.

The average tenure of an HB1 is much longer than a US citizen. Turnover is lower for obvious reasons.

Threats of litigation , etc are much lower too. I havent seen a single HB1 sue their employer. Similarly, i have seen multiple US citizens sue employers, and almost always without merit (often it was to stave off termination, retaliate, etc).

There is alson some risk in a US worker. There is a lot of entitlement even at the high end. I have seen many native engineers and even PMs hit bars every other afternoon...on a 3pm weekday.
These were people close to 200k year.

The HB1 is a shield against that risk (or poor hiring), and thats savings too

Oh. Thank you. This looks way more promising. But I see that it has few very hard to accept results like lack of objective vacuum or particles loosing meaning (which I'm ok with :-)). And I see how it still fails to include influence of particles generated by gravity. But it makes interesting predictions already.

I really think that's the way forward.
