> A report by the The Economist Intelligence Unit, released today, reveals a host of unsettling statistics about the scope of democracy around the globe.

One such fact — that for the first time ever, the United States is no longer considered a “full democracy,” but rather a “flawed democracy”...

The US designation as a “flawed democracy” is really more nominal than anything, simply meaning that the country’s Democracy Index — which is based off of five categories related to governance — has fallen below eight out of 10.

They are a respected company with many respected products, despite your personal feelings towards them. They did screw up big time with the 737 MAX, but they still have a huge portfolio of well engineered products and will surely launch more well respected products in the future.
You're not wrong, but the big difference is who the oligarchs answer to. For instance most big French news outlet belong to various rich people, but they're all somewhat independent and are not watchdogs for the authorities. That might still cause significant conflicts of interest but it's not directly on the government's leash.

Meanwhile if you look at, say, the Echo of Moscow, a popular Russian radio, the main shareholder is Gazprom, the natural gaz company that's state-owned and has extremely close ties with the political power.

That's always the problem with this "whataboutism", it's true that there are many problems with western democracy and freedom of information but it's dishonest to say that it's the same thing. It's really not. I've been learning Russian for a few years and I read (slowly) quite a lot of Russian news and it's really unlike anything I've seen in France or the USA for instance.
For small 4-6 seater general aviation aircraft it's hard (relative to a normal landing), but not at all unheard of. A modern 4 lane highway is more than wide enough, and very probably has a long enough straight section within range, to make for a relatively uneventful landing if you can get traffic to cooperate.

You're absolutely correct though when it comes to larger aircraft. I rather doubt there are any examples of an off airport landing of a 737 without significant damage to the aircraft.
"Four quadrants" are frequently a bad smell. They often are structurally wrong, such as

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn%27s_taxonomy

which has three real entities in it (a triangle) and one non-entity. The Nolan chart gets into trouble in a different way:

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Nolan_chart

That demonstrates a libertarian position that some people like to talk about but does not get traction when you try to implement it in politics. Like the green party you get maybe 2% of the vote if that. There is a very strong force that comes from the axioms of social choice theory that pushes politics into one dimension and you cannot wish it away by drawing a square.

Then there is that Gartner Magic Quadrant where they are just getting high on their own supply.

Deep Learning with Python (Chollet) and Hands-On Machine Learning (Géron) may be a bit redundant currently. With 2.x versions of Tensorflow, Keras (which is what Deep Learning with Python covers) has been completely integrated into into the Tensorflow API (which is covered in Hands-On Machine Learning). Both books are good, but the newest edition of Hands-On Machine Learning is updated for Tensorflow 2.0, and so it is probably the more relevant of the two.

As I understand it, "democracy" can be used narrowly to mean a direct democracy, more broadly to mean a range of democratic political systems (e.g. constitutional republics, constitutional monarchies, etc.), or even more broadly to mean the overall philosophy and approach to government associated with liberal democracy.

It's sort of like how functional programming can just mean "programming with pure, mathematical style functions" or more broadly it can mean the techniques associated with functional programming like pattern matching, currying, etc.

In this case, it seems to me that the intention was to use the most broad sense of democracy.

TLDR: it's pretty debatable
The legitimate concerns and justified anger tend to be characterized by long-term (multiple years), consistent pressure. People exerting it can listen to opposing views (without angry screams) and justify their own.

What we see today are angry flashes that can change direction on a whim. Flash mobs of statue tear-downs, coronavirus mask/no-mask outrages, etc. are in my view more of a symptom of pent-up aggression fanned by pre-election opportunism, not of legitimate concerns. My 2c.
It depends on the country, probably.

Calling someone a terrible reporter didn’t shut anything down, and it is an attack (on a person not even an action).

Don’t answer the question, or call it out as a poor question.

There are many sources of news and media.

Name calling and attacks are not coming from just one side, but this doesn’t seem like an honest appraisal of how roles are being filled so much as just tribal finger pointing.

Where is the alternative or proposed solution? The person who possesses one of the biggest platforms and with the most reach in the world cannot articulate anything more substantive than complaining of persecution?

From my cursory glance at the doc, the part in question is inside the bleed-air cutoff system. This is a flapper valve (a bit like in your toilet) that takes air from the engine and uses it for other systems in the plane (air conditioning, cooling, starting other engines, etc).
When it's in use, the movement of the parts will prevent rust from building up in one spot. A little rust might accumulate, but it will be rubbed/wiped off when it's next used. The problem occurs when enough rust builds up that the flapper cannot move anymore.

I wholeheartedly second "Deep Learning with Python" by François Chollet!

It's an excellent 'zero-to-hero' text for understanding deep neural networks, some common architectures, and the code (and theory) to get them to work.

One thing missing is how to prepare data for deep learning -- but that's just standard ETL you learn elsewhere.

The shorter the email the more believable it becomes that it was specifically written by a human directed at you, not a mass-used template. If you feel like you get an automatic email, you're not going to respond, because you don't want to talk to a computer. If, on the other hand, you can suspend your disbelief and entertain the fiction that someone named "Valerie" at E-Corp personally contacted you, you are infinitely more likely to respond.

Edit: "Welcome to ${service name}" is also a poor subject line if you expect an answer, because the subject line literally says "this is an automated email to let you know that your click on the register button has been indeed processed correctly. You probably have to click on the big colorful button in the body of this email to activate your account."
In my experience, clear and concise writing is usually better. My own consulting agreements are fit on just 1–2 pages.

I would say 90% of my US-based Facebook friends fall into one of two groups at any one time: posting things about how "we're not a democracy, we're a republic", and posting things about how we should suspend things in the Bill of Rights because we've been needing to exercise "emergency powers" continuously for the last 20 years.

Let's ask ourselves: what do you think is the probability a year from now that the US presidential election later this year will be contested by a significant portion of the country, regardless of the outcome?
I also wonder how much of this is that shorter emails look more like a real person. I have to deal with enough spam and try-my-product emails that I delete emails at the first sent of "sales".

I would be more inclined to the shorter email which looks more like a person actually typed it.
Even an independent press doesn't fare well against state assassins.

The benefits rapidly lose their value once you have kids. Free breakfast / dinner? Who is picking the kids up and cooking for them?

Onsite laundry? Have fun dragging the whole family’s dirty clothes around. Also, if you have room for kids, you probably also have room for a laundry machine.

On the other hand, kids take a ton of time, so losing time to a commute is brutal. You lose many hours of being able to think at home without someone constantly interrupting you. If the commute time is spent driving to an open plan office, it is doubly useless. Can I just work from my car or a coffee shop or something? There’s a reason most big tech companies saw their productivity skyrocket during the lockdown.

Also, there’s much more cleaning, cooking, etc to be done. With work from home, I can turn off my laptop, and read a paper and change the laundry without dozens of interruptions.

If I need to come into the office, screw the perks. Give me an office with opaque walls and a functional door.

Part time WFH and/or a real office are going to be at the top of my list of amenities the next time I look for a job.

> but I notice that they lay out all the ingredients for the thesis that one side of the culture wars is fueled by a desire to impose Christian moral authority upon the USA.

Well, it could be read [0] as advancing the thesis either that that is the case but that the established order has flipped from that side being the status quo incumbent to the opposition, or it could be read as advancing the thesis that the culture wars have moved past that, that technocratic secular (neo)liberal materialists have displaced Christianists as the conservative side of the culture wars and that the other side is now the progressive social justice set.

(Though I think both he and the authorities he appeals to—to borrow a term from George W Bush—misunderestimate the degree to which the broad opposition to what he calls the old “orthodox” side was driven by a strong belief in moral authority, most commonly with a religious source, with a vision of justice differing from that of the “orthodox” in it's content on the specific issues, and not technocratic rationalism, one which differs particularly in that it is more concerned that others align with it's substantive content of moral authority than it's concept of the source of that authority.)

Even the (by far) most dense borough of Berlin is only at 14,373/km²[1], though. That's considerably lower than almost all of the Parisian boroughs[2]. Even the whole city's average is 20,000/km². From the point of view of most American cities with some obvious exceptions, the difference is probably indeed not that noticeable though.

> I'm an atheist so I sort of know what you're saying but I don't like to call religious people irrational. They have a certain POV and I know of religious people who are rational (most of them really).

I am profoundly atheist, after being raised in a mildly religious atmosphere (religion the French way - not too strong, rather kind minded).

I think that people who are believers fall into one of the categories of "I have been doing it my whole life, I do not want to think about that", "I do not want to think about that because I am afraid of God's wrath, death, ..." and similar irrational ones.

I (seriously) understand these people - to some point having a strong belief is helpful and they may have an easier and more happy life. Probably less fear about the future and comforting state of mind about the "whys" of our existence.

What I cannot stand are scientists who believe in a god. I see that as a mental health issue where you are scientist form Mon to Sat, and suddenly forget everything on Sunday where you kneel in front of an imaginary friend (pick your favorite day of prayers). And find this normal.

To these people I become Pastafarian and a pain in the ass because I tell them how much these meat balls are important in my life of scientist, and how much it guides me on the path of illumination. People who claim being scientists and at the same time believe in nonsense are dangerous.

Yeah I agree with what you're saying, and I never meant that what you say in altered state is stripped of meaning completely, just that the further you go and the more barriers you loose the more meaning is lost, because you are being overwhelmed by those emotions.
Independent press does not exist:

- if the money comes from the state they're incentivized to speak good of the state
- if the money comes from ads they're bound to report what does not make to many waves
- if the money comes from readers, they're going to write articles for better retention / more new subscribers

Democracy does not need the press. It needs an informed population which has learned to think critically.
Larry Sanger is an idiot. There's a reason he was kicked out early in Wikipedia's history.
