That's wildly imaginative. But no.

Train routes don't exist. Outside commuter routes long distance rail basically don't exist in the US, outside a few connectors between major cities.

Keep in mind the scale here... see that small-looking gap between Flagstaff and Tucson? That's 400km... you could fit most European countries in there.
That doesn't explain the US military consistently having encounters with aircraft that they don't understand the physics of.

Perhaps they're dogfooding the product and seeing if their own pilots can catch it. So far, no one has been able to.
The good ones eventually end up in SV or work for the international offices of SV or work at local superstars like flipkart and such because of the pay differential. %40 of SV staff being some form of 'asian' is a testament to that.

It's almost certainly a misstatement. Reid is a believer and would certainly speculate. If he had hard evidence he would have been keeping it secret or shouting from the rooftops, not casually slipping it into one conversation.
Usually, no. Emulation generally goes through a JIT that couldn't really care less; there are some processor features that can be difficult to emulate sometimes but often even on a similar ISA you cannot just "use your processor directly".

> shuttle service

Shuttle service is not adequate. Most people do more than just visit a hotel or ski resort. I think the "easy" US-side solution to this problem would be for there to exist a better, more competent car rental service that doesn't require lining up or saying "no" 10 times to humans trying to offer you add-ons, is available 24 hours, is guaranteed, and is located within a 10 minute walk of wherever the Lilian drops you off.

Kind of like ZipCar, but ZipCar has zero cars in Tahoe, 2 cars for the entirety of Fresno (wtf), and cost twice as much as Enterprise for a daily rental despite the fact that they don't have to hire as many humans, which is backwards. ZipCar should be costing half as much as a place with brick-and-mortar and human agents.
I don’t think the dependence for manufacturing is sufficient to explain all the pressure Apple faces in China. Even if they were to move all manufacturing (not just final assembly) out of China they would still want to sell iPhones to the Chinese.

The cynic in me would suppose that the move is merely in case there is a backlash against anything “made in China” by western consumers/governments, but maybe Apple really are trying to reduce dependence on China or just cut costs.

In China I expect Apple to be just as craven as ever.

While SCCs are not technically prohibited, any company handing over personal information (be it of customers or employees) in many cases can't in good faith enter in such an agreement.

I recall people doing this but just putting a NIC in there and returning it to Best Buy. The Geek Squad employee would open the box to verify a card was in there, but wouldn’t know what it should look like and would accept a $15 NIC in place of a $200 video card.
FYI, it's usually worth checking the headline that shows up after submission. Sometimes things get altered (sometimes capitalization is changed, words may be removed, etc.). Often the alterations are fine, but sometimes they change it in more ways than you expected. If you edit the submission within the first hour (?) the edited title should remain (unless a moderator comes by later and changes it again).

Heres a fun Firefox fact. Firefox handles audio/media files differently than chrome. Since it has a small market share, it becomes a rather annoying lose-lose: either spend a bunch of time to support Firefox for the ~20 people that will access your site using Firefox, or you don't support Firefox.
Here's an idea:

There is talk. But the cost to build rail is so stupid in the US. You spend billions... connect two cities.. and then what? You can't get around in many cities without a car, so you are still stuck.

Kind of a lot of problems on top of each other from construction costs to land ownership to right of way to city layouts that make trains rough to work in the US. (which stinks, I LOVE trains. had a nice train commute in Chicago, but those are rare in the US)

> One essay written by one graduate...

This "one essay" is part of a larger, official project: https://slavery.princeton.edu/about/overview

The author's bio reads:

> Joseph Yannielli received his PhD from Yale and was the Perkins Postdoctoral Fellow in the Princeton Humanities Council. He is an expert on the history of slavery and abolition, with a special focus on America, West Africa, and the wider world during the nineteenth century. His other areas of interest include political and social movements, missionaries and religion, capitalism and globalization, and the United States in the world. At present, he is completing a book about the Mendi Mission and the role of Africa in the American abolition of slavery. He is the founding manager and lead developer of the Princeton & Slavery Project website and several other digital history projects.

There are four other individuals involved at an organizational level for this project, and over 50 other students, advisors, and organizations involved in creating it.

It is absolutely an official statement from the institution of Princeton University.

But, please, continue to offhandedly dismiss things you don't like as lacking imagination and assume that other people simply lack the comprehension to understand the grand ideas in this essay. It's just such a compelling position to put yourself into, not having to defend bad ideas at all, because hey, only stupid people could think they'd be bad.
I'd love to know how people working on WebEx rate it because WebEx is the worst, the absolute worst, video and conference calling app I have to use at least semi-regularly. Every time I have to use it I know it's going to waste a huge amount of peoples' time: the first 5 minutes of any meeting are always a shitshow and the audio quality is always terrible throughout. Also, none of us needs to be interrupted by an automated announcement telling us that somebody has turned up 10 minutes late to the meeting - STFU and get out of the damn way of the conversation.

It gets trounced by Microsoft Teams. Teams! Think about that! The latecomer to the party that's actually turned into something pretty decent.

So I find it really hard to believe that anyone working on WebEx could possibly rate Cisco as a great place to work. A great place to sit around and do sweet F.A., maybe, whilst your userbase seethes and rages, but not a great place to work.
Dumb question - what if the early resturants with early bad reviews are simply bad and death spiral? I didn't see efforts to narrow down actual quality.

Granted would require controlled attempts of opening under different names at different locations to try to see if a somewhat random starting review really drives it or confidental information from a chain resturant's attempts to expand by the same leadership.

define often? You would have to know how often they visit to say they crash often. What if they have been operating here for thousands of years and we have a crash or two. Would that be often?

Stealth? How do you know anything we have can track them very well? What if they have to let us track them, or there are certain operating modes where they are susceptible to radar and other times they are totally invisible.

Making any conclusions about why they would not be tracked or wouldn't is pure speculation and worse based on our own capabilities. 'Stealth' from radar might be incredibly easy for them.
It's almost like... there's a demand for professional critics.

As if, all problems can't be solved by building websites connected to databases.

Strange.
Honest question: what skills should a data scientist possess to graduate out of “shit tier”? Should we have all of the skills of statisticians, ML engineers, data engineers, software engineers, visualization designers, and domain/communication experts? Can it not be valuable to have some but not all of the above skill sets? Does it matter that software engineers are often “shit-tier statisticians” that understand just enough ML lingo to dismiss it as marketing hype?

I’ve gone out of my way over the years to make learning data science skills as approachable as possible for uninitiated (giving trainings, providing customized learning paths based on someone’s background, offering encouragement), and yet this is almost never reciprocated by engineer types. It’s always just, “data scientists can’t write production quality code”, with no explanation of what production quality entail, or without consideration of the fact that notebook-based data science can have advantages over perfectly modularized code with a battery of tests. See the comment above: “I'm not even sure what to recommend for developing good software judgment and habits.“. It’s like a chess coach admonishing their subject to simply “think harder”. Not helpful.

When curious and open-minded data scientists and software engineers work together, it can be magic. When people snipe at others for their “shitty” skills, it creates a petty and toxic environment.

This comment comes off as a bit of an admonition, but I would greatly appreciate a list like TFA for data scientists looking to shore up their fundamental CS and software development skills.

I generally dont worry about inflation, I roll my eyes when certain financial people talk about the inflation boogieman that hasnt existed for 40 years.

however, we are in a unique situation that has the potential for causing hyper inflation. I say potential because I still think it's not a likely outcome. We are paying people not to work, but eventually someone has to produce something. We ALL can't wfh or be unemployed and collect checks as if we were employed and expect our Amazon deliveries and canned food to arrive; someone has to make and deliver it.

Eventually all the extra money laying around today will chase yesterday's production. I think this is why we often see hyper inflation scenarios stem from low inflation environments. it sounds counter intuitive at first.

This is why we have to be extremely careful when we try to pick and choose what is essential or not. Now we got situations were food is rotting on the vines and milk being dumped down the drain. I dont think we will enter hyper inflation, but we have to be careful about it.
> Did you know that everywhere in the world, except the U.S., you must prove that you are who you are before getting the ballot?

False. In Canada, a voter with ID can vouch for one other voter, whose name and address are recorded.

Also, you'd have a better point if voter ID laws were not combined with a well-documented campaign to make it more difficult for POC to get IDs. This is classic voter suppression - install a byzantine set of rules that unwanted demographics will have a harder time navigating.

Also, I may point out that disenfranchising eligible voters happens to be voter fraud - carried out by the state.
You can do better than that, Drew.
This seems very absolutist. If we assume the technology exists to make this safe, there are a number of factors that would make this obviously less risky:

4 people per aircraft reduce the number of lives at risk from any particular issue. That doesn't mean the FAA can be 100x as cavalier as they are with an A380, but it does mean the worst possible likely outcome is not as bad.

Short flights - easily predictable weather patterns.

Elimination of pilot error - obviously replaced with computer error, but still.

And as I said elsewhere, the ability to test to destruction.
Twice-daily newsletter to start and end your days
We all have been dealing with the craziness of 2020 so far, and I realized that my daily routine of checking my emails wasn't motivating me in the morning or putting me to bed at night. I created Dawn + Dusk, a twice-daily newsletter where you receive tidbits of productive and wellness resources at Dawn and then again at Dusk.
Yes!

Rotax (Austrian company) actually builds great engines. They are heavily used in ultra-light airplanes with much more “relaxed” certification.

And you are right: in the ultra-light market, we see a giant boom because of lower certification hurdles and actually much safer systems: automated engine control, constant speed propellers, ballistic parachutes, etc. But Maximum Take-Off-Weight (MTOW) is 650 kg (Germany) that leaves you with a skinny wife/husband, some gas and light baggage...

Airplane engines are operating in tougher environments than car engines - hence bigger tolerances and less sophistication in some parts. They also must not fail. I mean, the engine has to be ok with starting up at 100 degrees F on the ground, climbing at maximum power to 10’000 ft, with below freezing temperatures within 15/20 min and descending down again with an urgy pilot pushing down the cylinder heat temperatures from 400 to 200 degrees fahrenheit within minutes (due to power reduction and increased speed cooling the engine).
Fish oil (natural!) has longer fatty acids (FA) than plants.
Must be processed from natural fish that feeds from algae (at least at some point in the food chain).

Regarding plant oils. Evening prime rose oil is good. Lots of gamma-linoleic acid.
The fact that there are businesses that specialize in engine data monitor analysis and training on mixture operation says a ton about where GA is on this topic. There has been very little movement from the manufacturers on this.

That said highly recommend any materials from Mike Busch on this topic. Super knowledgeable and has moved the needle in getting people to understand how engines operate.
Recruiting is a skillset.

> One in three renters failed to make their full payment in the first week of July...

This is pretty common. There are a lot of reasons why a huge portion of US renters can't manage to get the check into the landlord by the 5th of the month. Better to check how many are consistently x days (usually 30) behind on rent.
I agree, and I'd be upset as well. But it sounds more plausible than having advanced spacecraft crash in our backyard, so to speak.
It would honestly be so nice to just rate a bunch of restaurants (or anything, music would be really nice) and have it spit out recommendations like “people with really similar taste to yours also like x,y,z”
Data point: we once rented 800 sqm and fitted in the order of 60 people. This was not as crammed as typical SF startup space (it was in Europe and a large corporation), we had groups of 6 and in between meeting rooms, bathrooms, pantry etc. So that‘s more in the order of 130 sq ft per employee. According to your numbers that would translate to $10k/employee
Realestate Investing for Engineers
According to Bob Lazar (Google him), we recovered a crashed UFO that uses anti-gravity technology, but we can't figure it out. The theory is one reason they are releasing it is so that they want to see if we can at least make some scientific progress on it.
First, you can work for all these companies remotely in Canada without US work authorization. You have to come within one of the occupations (economist or engineer) and have the appropriate educational background. I would argue that your degree is appropriate for a data engineering position but USCIS and CBP typically take the narrow (irrational) view that the appropriate degree is one in engineering (or a related field).
If you run the big bang model far enough into the past, you arrive at a singularity. Near that point, relativity starts to break down, and we don't really know what physics looks like.

For unrelated reasons, we cannot see back past further than about 10^-6 seconds after the big-bang, because the universe prior to that point was so hot and dense that photons would be reabsorbed almost immedietly.

Once you avoid everything being in literally the same place, the problem just becomes having the photon move towards us faster than the expansion of the universe.

Does anyone know if "Shipped from and sold by Amazon.com" still guarantees not co-mingled inventory?

That's been my one line of defense against knockoffs after hearing in the past that was the case. Whereas an item that's "Sold by Sony and fulfilled by Amazon.com" will pay Sony for the sale but might actually use co-mingled inventory that came from a fraudulent seller.

I guess neither of them address the problem in the article though which is now a new source of issues I didn't know I needed to be looking out for, of getting a return which may have been tampered with or swapped out instead of a brand new product.
