For sure. When the book was written income inequality wasn't extreme as it is now.

Also the whole idea of a government / multinational divide gets a bit blurry, doesn't it, when you look at the longstanding U.S. government relationship with companies like G.E. , A&T, etc, and, I'm sure in one form or another, today with Google and Amazon.

I mean government-funded research created the tech giants.

Lastly, as much as people love to knock government, ideally it's how people organize to do stuff, and, has an accountability mechanism (elections).

I'm kind of riffing off of what you are saying but yeah. Power comes in many forms and can be abused in many forms.
yeah, looking at the size of their aircraft and their proposed "vertiports", they're not suggesting that hundreds of thousands of people can move to san rafael and commute to sf, they're talking about more like 12 people. and tbh they could probably find a dozen people in the bay area with a $36k/year commuting budget
Maybe. To me, the cost is a bigger factor. If you can show helicopters have the same fatality rate, but has the same price of an Uber, I'm sure a ton of people would use it.

It seems to me price is the larger barrier for most people when it comes to air travel.
He did, with the drone wars and such. Yeah - presidential power tends to accrue.

It wasn't the first time this con has been pulled. Greentech Auto did this with an electric car plant in Mississippi.
It was, but the rest of the world had caught up quite a bit by then. Recall that when 10.4 was in its prime your options were Windows XP pre-service pack 2, aka, Swiss cheese Windows. The ecosystem of available operating systems really put 10.4 well above the competition.
These hypothetical people are getting fired because their words cause real harm to people. They encourage others to act in ways that result in (not at all hypothetical) physical, emotional and economic harm, usually to underrepresented groups who are least able to weather it.

You'd get fired if you punched a coworker, getting fired for speech that encourages others to do the punching seems like fair game. If you're in a position of influence you must measure your words carefully if you care at all about not harming people.

If you want to explore radical, potentially harmful ideas, find a safe space of like minded people to do it in rather than forcing it on random people on the internet unconsensually.
60k is about 4% of all CS related engineering students in India. So, the generalisation is accurate.

One clue is that almost everyone here posts anonymously.

Under people's own names, many would be much more careful and conformist.

How do you know this to be true? I find it to be patently false.

The government prefers to pick on the defenseless. Easier to keep Fox happy than prevent another smaller organization from gaining hold.

What was the joke one?

Lycoming/clones with fuel injection, you typically only mess with mixture when starting and stoping them.

What if votes are still being counted? What if so many votes are lost because of screwups that it's hard to know who won in certain counties? What if Trump lies, as he does, and says he won in places where he didn't?

Also I'd like to point out that the orders to create concentration camps for immigrants which Trump issued to ICE may very well have been illegal. Federal agencies receive orders all the time from various folks and sometimes those orders are later acknowledged as illegal.

You’re getting too hung up on the word “game.” In this context it just means the rules of the model.
Adopted and second children still represent different environments. If the adopted child wasn't adopted at birth, their formative years would greatly impact what is perceived as nature. Its a meme that parents are generally more cavalier and relaxed with later children than they are with the first, and that is a significant environmental variable.

Nature definitely hardwires in some baseline chemistry, but those first couple of years have a huge impact on how a child will deal with that chemistry.
It would compel that speech in the same way that you are compelled to call me "Joshua" and not "asshole" when we are engaging in a conversation at work.

True. This kind of technology would be a game changer for poorer rural communities with limited infrastructure and vast distances. Places like Greenland or East Congo. But this article did not mention this benefit at all. All they seem to care about is getting rich people between places they already can.
Forensics can sometimes prove "X happened", but not "Y didn't happen".

That's why sometimes companies will make statements like "we have no evidence that the hackers did Y1, Y2 or Y3". It doesn't mean anything really.

That is to say, once Garmin becomes communicative again, they may be prescriptive in answering questions like yours head-on, or due to lack of concrete proof, punt and obfuscate.

Suffice to say, it appears they've been owned through-and-through, so you may want to err on the side of caution.
Maybe I'm crazy but wondering if your engine is gonna overheat, field modifying tracks and swapping a gearbox in the middle of nowhere in -40 weather sounds like a fun time.
You paint it to in a overly negative light, in my opinion. Much of the processes and procedures in place are not just functional, but behavioral training and conditioning to enable the pilot to troubleshoot mid-flight problems. It's like a highly capable human runtime exception debugger that will save the lives of everyone on board.

Some FAA regs and procedures are written in blood, but most are written in a way to prevent blood in the future.

I also like to echo the products Garmin is incorporating to increase the UX in the cockpit. They address some of the things you outline.

Remember, aviators aren't engineers, they are operators. The license requirement is there to ensure that pilots can do basic things like triage, malfunction diagnostic, ad hoc solution generation, energy management, communicate, etc.
Thanks for that. I think fear of messing up! Probably not great advice.

There is a distinction but it's not the one you were originally making. Which seems important in a discussion about kinds of harms. Firing someone is not assault.

If someone is wearing press credentials, or is being followed by a huge news camera, or is clearly speaking into said camera with a microphone, then I find it unreasonable that any officer can't assume that person is a journalist.

And if that's seriously the standard they want to hold others to, then I think it's reaonsable to assume a random person in camo without any law enforcement ID on them trying to shove me into a van is a kidnapper and I should be legally protected in using violent force against them to defend myself.
While true in a sense, that's not the best way of looking at it.

VAT is charged on the sale price of every intermediary, however businesses can claim back VAT on their purchases. In your example, Apple Inter Co. would sell the iPhone to Apple Finland for $499 + $119.76 (VAT in Finland is 24%). Apple Finland would pay $618.76, claim back $119.76, and sell the phone for $500 + $120 to the consumer, charging the consumer $620 and giving $120 to the government.

So yes, Apple Finland will have given effectively about 20 cents to the government, but the total $120 of VAT will still be paid and calculated on the end sale price, not the profit margin.
A lot of these protesters seem to be willingly acting as shields for the brick-throwers.

How many times have we seen a black-clad (thus like the 'secret police' unidentifiable and unaccountable) brick thrower seek shelter in the crowd of "peaceful" protesters?
A long time ago, I bought Half-Life 1 in a regular store. I tried to play with a friend online but it said my CD-key was already being used.
Turned out my friend had bought the game, came without a CD-key printed on the box, so the store opened a random box and gave him that CD-key. I bought that exact same box.

In the end, my friend sent a picture of the box to Valve and got a fresh CD-key, and we could finally play together.
Textbooks are actually a bad example, now that an awful lot of them have one-time codes linked to online materials (homework, etc.). Sure, the contents of the book may not be "used up", but that doesn't mean it's necessarily "good-as-new".

Kind of agree in concept, although as the comment below it really is sales tax, not "revenue" tax.

And in reality when I said something similar to those that support "revenue tax" ( Whatever that means ) their counter argument are:

>Apple is not paying VAT, the consumer are paying for it.

>VAT is VAT, it is different. Apple needs to paid revenue tax.

If you think these are some random people comments, I have had a journalist at a reputable newspaper gave me roughly similar response as above....
> I could imagine that's the sort of number of reviews that restaurants' family and friends could be leaving when a restaurant opens.

I'm truly astonished when I see businesses with 0-4 reviews on Yelp or Google Maps, but they're everywhere. Maybe some business owners just aren't paying any attention to online reviews? Seems trivial to get 4 people to write a review.
> The first is that any process for deciding which ideas to ban is bound to make mistakes. All the more so because no one intelligent wants to undertake that kind of work, so it ends up being done by the stupid.

Especially the people who enforce the laws. Law enforcement police officers have to follow orders without question. People who don't question things are inherently stupid.
Why are you talking about my emotion? Because I said I have a mood disorder?

>If they said a heating pad could help me fix my muscle strain, does that mean they are saying that I caused a muscle strain by not using a heating pad? That's absurd of course.

If you look at the rest of this thread that is how everyone is interpreting it. read them and talk to them. I am not doing that, doctors do it.

I ask primarily because, this sounds a little too close to "Downloading roms you don't own is legal as long you delete them within 24 hours." ;)
I believe there is a bias towards the outsourcing, at least judging by the comments.

Let me tell you my side of the story. We are a software development company based in Macedonia - Emit Knowledge

From personal experience, we've refactored/rewritten code that was developed by development teams from USA, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, UK where the hourly rate is sky high compared to ours.

According to me the problem is not in the outsourcing itself, but rather in the company size and culture. Bigger companies tend to have stronger sales teams, getting whatever is in their way, closing deals without having expertise and know-how. The only driving factor is how to maximize profit. Hire less experience devs, leave the SRS so you can charge CRs and that kind of doctrine.

On the other hand, I can tell that we as a company have better processes than bigger companies:
- having our own framework: https://signals.emitknowledge.com/ soon to be open sourced;
- having multiple products, which you will find as rarity when it comes to agencies;
- having an research and development;
- before we start working with a client, the agreement is that it is a two sides stick, the client needs to be part of the development if success is expected;
- regular communication is a must;
- we discuss with the clients to reduce scopes if we identify that it will increase costs without providing a business value at the end;

The difference is in the culture. As a CEO I would like my client's business to succeed so we can work together as partners, long terms, instead of getting money from CRs and playing "you haven't specified this".

Be transparent guys. Stop playing games with your clients.

You need to give in order to get.

For the most part I do not buy anything other than media from Amazon any more - books, Kindle, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, games, and of course streaming. One notable exception is the Amazon Basics range of cables where I tend to go a little nuts. Again, for the most part, these are the things they were originally good for in the 90s and early noughties; these are the things they're still good for now. Everything else is Russian roulette.

In the late noughties/early onesies I went through this period where I realised I could just buy anything I wanted that wasn't food from Amazon, and it was briefly great. However, they have had a huge problem with counterfeit, poor quality, seconds, and reconditioned goods for a number of years now. If you need thing X you're much better buying it from a specialist retailer, direct from the manufacturer or - depending on what it is - even from eBay, Gumtree (or its US equivalent Craigslist), particularly for used items.

Avoid Amazon like the plague for non-media items.
Legal, finance, Shopify are all useless without a product to sell. Hence, costs.

Your business acumen is messed up. If your product is stagnant like most financial products, importance shifts to other things like marketing, cross-selling, etc. Don't get confused between the profit center and the cost center that occurs when products are stagnant.

Yes, some tech has improved things like better analytics and tracking for companies such as personalized car insurance or paperless but notice how this improves the core products features or cost.

"If you are using Shopify, that isn't a cost, it is an investment. It isn't like legal or finance, usually, because it is product-related and can be used to reduce prices/improve service."

No, just no. If I am Apple selling iPhones, no investment in Shopify or websites is going to help me make better iPhones.
Shopify is not product-related. What you mention is a Mandatory marketing expense which is also a cost center. You either have your marketing team or you hire an external marketing agency.

You mention distribution. Marketing without a product to sell is useless. Hence, costs.

Insurance and other financial companies need marketing to sell. It is a mandatory expense for them. It is not their product but their product is stagnant so it matters very little.

However for Facebook, marketing is their product, profit center. There are other orgs who sell marketing automation software. There it is a profit center.
I’m a really big fan of that company (interviewing.io), the platform, and the studies they do. They have a very interesting blog.
If the mayor of Portland joins them, and many of them just chant "fuck Ted Wheeler" at him, maybe they need to come to the table with solutions rather than just problem?
No. You're effectively in a liquid, and that liquid is moving very quickly up and down, left and right. You can see in the video you linked to, it's not all that effective, even while stationary in a boat. Plus, the drag penalty related to some extra appendage like this would be severe.

It would take a LOT to keep you precisely in the same 6-axis position - and there's no way a system could react quick enough because it would first need to detect the movement, accounting for normal wind-speed, etc. Any solution here would be heavy, induce drag, eat through batteries/fuel, and introduce a lot of new failure modes that don't exist with traditional aircraft and could be unrecoverable in the event of a failure (stuck appendage or azimuth thruster-like propeller in wrong direction, destroying lift).

Things are quite different just 1,000 feet off the ground, and even worse 5,000 ft or 10,000 feet. The wind speed can get extreme, averaging 100mph at 10,000 ft[1].

For people accustomed to flying in these small aircraft, you get used to it. But for people already nervous about flying, or not familiar with small aircraft, the sudden movement can be very disorienting and scary.

People often underestimate the aviation industry. It's incredibly safe, and very stable. A lot of innovations were paid for with blood during the early days of aviation, which led to it's maturity. Innovation, at this point in aviation's history, is very challenging and requires very deep understandings - even mature organizations like Boeing struggle with this from time-to-time, and they have a ton of experience in developing extremely reliable aircraft for not just transport, but combat and more.

Unfortunately, far too often, things like this startup's solution are dreamt up by people that don't understand the problem domain and don't have a lot of experience in the field. They look from afar, and confidently state they know a solution no one else has thought of or tried, and the entire industry is simply doing things so obviously wrong. Fortunately, they often find out why things are the way they are within a reasonable time frame and don't blow all of their investor's money or get people killed. Time will tell here.

Germany is silent as Hungary recently saved the German military industry by placing the largest order it ever received from outside. (Since WWII)

Russia is a friend of Orbán as the country pledged to spend 10% of its GDP for the next 25 years on Russian built nuclear power plants.

China likes Orbán as Hungarian taxpayers are paying for part of the new China-EU rail that goes through the country.

This scandal will fade away, but "illiberal" (quasi dictatorship) countries are more and more common. The new normal. As world leaders like to do business with them, they will stay.

Where did you try to outsource in the UK?

I can't imagine trying to find an outsourcing firm in the UK. London can absorb all the good developers between tech companies, banks and startups. There is little reason to work as a freelancer trying to compete with Eastern Europe.

My point was the irony. Damocles wanted to sit in the hot seat, until he found out just how hot it was.

Scott Alexander has been a semi-public figure (popular blog, shares pieces of personal information and parts of his name, his location, online) for a while.

Now Scott Alexander is in the hot seat (getting an NY Times article written about you).

So he hung his own sword of Damocles over his head. Certainly, as a psychiatrist, if anonymity is so important then I do wonder, unless he didn't understand the importance of it years ago, why he wasn't fully anonymous then?

IMHO there's a difference between Scott Alexander-level anonymity and Satoshi Nakamoto level anonymity.

Which raises a good question - is it in the public interest enough to, say, know the name of who created bitcoin, that, if the NY Times found out, it'd be appropriate for them to publish it?
>-- Using the non-standard 10,000 base comma system when expressing numbers, versus 1,000 standard

To be clear, India does not use a 10000 grouping system; that's China's and Japan's system. India's system is that the first group is three digits, and subsequent ones are two digits. eg 10^9 is 1,00,00,00,000
Specialization is a critical element of our modern economy. It doesn't make sense to expect that SQL and CSS experts should overlap and trade places now and then, and there are more divisions than that in any deployed application.
