Kant would say the only way to be free in this situation is to wear a mask and fulfill your moral duty to yourself and others. But this kind of thinking is way above the heads of the idiots currently not wearing masks. I doubt they even understand the meaning of "moral" and "duty" individually, let alone when used as a phrase. People are incredibly stupid by default. The ones wearing masks never changed their default settings.
MCAS is needed to meet certification requirements. [0][1]
Your understanding is common, but wrong, because the media commonly misunderstood what it was for. It's not a anti-stall system. It's not required to behave exactly like the old one. It is required that the stick forces monotonically increase until the plane stalls, which it does not without MCAS.

And it's required because they couldn't rip out all the old control system and replace it with a fly by wire system.

IMHO: Boeing should give up on the 737, it's a lost cause. Write it off and repurpose the facilities and people to working on an electric plane. Smaller capacity, more personalized and environmentally friendly. It just seems like they are clinging to the past. Maybe they need to make a bold step into the future instead ?
I can try to guess a few:

- Bloat... Both are extremely heavy dependencies if you want "the real deal" vs a stripped down version that looks like Python or JavaScript.

- Performance too. Python is slow. JavaScript too, unless you use the modern JITs.

- Licensing perhaps?

- Lack of support for that use case?

- Painful interop? No idea.
Just some examples:

- First-class modules don't feel very first class, with how clunky it is to use modules at the value level

- Records are very clunky and hacky to use

- Generative functors are a hack

- Special language-level equality magic is awful (although SML also has this problem)

- Special `let` forms (whether via ppx or integrated into the language) feel really hacky

- GADTs require too much handholding of the typechecker

- All the "Objective" parts have very few redeeming qualities and should probably never have existed

- The way infix operators work is really half-assed

I don't think OCaml is a _bad_ language - it's very practically useful. It's just not simple or elegant.
> It’s probably easier to buy the whole thing than to buy 30% of it. ‘Cause I say how do you do 30%? Who’s going to get the name? The name is hot, the brand is hot. And who’s going to get the name? How do you do that if it’s owned by two different companies? So, my personal opinion was, you are probably better off buying the whole thing rather than buying 30% of it. I think buying 30% is complicated.

... I did say that if you buy it, whatever the price is, that goes to whoever owns it, because I guess it’s China, essentially, but more than anything else, I said a very substantial portion of that price is going to have to come into the Treasury of the United States. Because we’re making it possible for this deal to happen. Right now they don’t have any rights, unless we give it to ’em. So if we’re going to give them the rights, then it has to come into, it has to come into this country.

It’s a little bit like the landlord-tenant [relationship]. Uh, without a lease, the tenant has nothing. So they pay what is called “key money” or they pay something. But the United States should be reimbursed, or should be paid a substantial amount of money because without the United States they don’t have anything, at least having to do with the 30%.

This could also be interpreted as something akin to extortion.
Tonal variation, speech cadence, hand gestures, and facial expressions sometimes communicate as much as what you actually say. That is probably important in a court environment. I would love to see your idea tested though.
While I strongly disagree with my country's preference to not sign up to international treaties on the basis that it might find itself on trial, as I pointed out, this doesn't even fall under the case of such a treaty.

If you disagree with me, please cite precisely which clause of which treaty prohibits the use of depleted uranium in weapons.
OK.

Maybe we're not so different after all!
Let's be real - Successor ML is never happening. I just don't think there's enough interest.
I think it's just marketing bullshit.

More "G's" have to be better. so 5 "G's" are clearly better than 4. It's kinda like that great scene in the movie This is Spinal Tap. The amp "numbers all go to eleven". When pressed, the obvious advantage is "These go to eleven".

The average person couldn't explain what either LTE or 5G are.

I just ran a Speedtest on my phone and with a relatively weak signal I'm getting 10 Mbps download via LTE. Isn't that good enough for the latest cat GIF?

I think the industry wants 5G to deal with improved cell service in densely occupied places such as football stadiums. Well, that obviously won't be a priority for the next few years!
I absolutely do. I try to wear a mask as much as possible, though it can't be 100% when dining. Some 30% of NYC renters haven't paid rent since March and may face eviction. If I can help restaurant staff do that, that's a help. And plus, infection rates are low and stable in NY.

In an ideal world, we all go to sleep until a vaccine arrives, but we live in a world far from ideal.

> It's all pixels on a screen. Any design asset you can whip up, with whatever animations and effects, can be rendered identically on a web, or native mobile/desktop app.

The issue is that no one bothers to do all the OS integrations you get for free when you make a native app.

Also, every web app I've used that pretends to be a desktop app has issues that make it feel off. Using Discord as an example; I have to focus the title bar before I can use the minimize/maximize window buttons - unlike every native macOS app. I run into this almost every day.

I'm not denying that web applications are useful, but if you want something really high quality, native is the only solution in my opinion.

I was hopeful that web applications could offer a really great way to make cross-platform applications. After trying some frameworks out, and following the web standards more closely, I'm pretty pessimistic. The complexity of web browsers is out of control and I don't think they'll ever be comparable to native apps.
But none of this has anything to do with poor distribution.

They could have partnered with logistics and sold it themselves via Online. But even that is not done. They didn't bother partnering with Telecoms or Retail.

Basically, judging purely from current evidence and outside perspective, Google is a company that

1. Doesn't know how to make partnership

2. Doesn't know anything other than selling ads.

3. Doesn't know how to do support.

The whole company is not structure for this. And very likely their Phone department is so small within the giant Google circle there are absolutely zero synergy within it.

I get the criticism, want, and need...but comparing a $120K+ Porsche to a $20K average car isn't exactly a fair comparison, even when it comes to headlights. The replacement cost on that headlight is probably astronomical, where I can replace a bulb for $40. I don't even know if the Boxster which is around ~$60K comes with these headlights. A quick lookup and those Porsche headlights cost ~$2K EACH.

a lot of telecoms are kind of ignoring 4g/lte deadspots in favor of just putting new NSA 5G cells

That just emphasizes what marketing bullshit 5G is. Telecoms won't properly build out infrastructure to avoid LTE deadspots, and yet are pushing 5G. But ... people say that proper 5G needs many many more cells than LTE!
I'm a manager of a team of 8. I've set a rule that you are free to skip or escape any meeting. We even use the nickname "the 2 feet rule : if your time is better spent someplace else use your 2 feet and leave.

I rarely see someone skip a meeting, and exceptionally seen someone leave one ; and almost every time they justify why. This is despite renewing the statement almost every meeting. And the meetings I'm in, despite having value most of the time, are NOT perfect in any regards, NOT useful or enjoyable to everyone, and do not require everyone in.

I'm regularly sending anonymous surveys on topics. One had questions around meetings, cadences and masses. About half the team doesn't mind the meetings and saw value in them, the other figures we have too many. The reasons why people are not leaving were majorly 1. peer pressure and fear of looking bad and 2. FOMO. And I consistently get good reviews as a manager...

I'm balancing between limiting the attendance (but ego / disappointment of not being invited?), reversing the default (why are you here?) or simply cancelling/forbidding them and trying to replace by other media (online collaboration?).

But the fact is that in a team with a lax manager on the topic who keeps repeating "not mandatory, get out if you want, no hard feelings", peer pressure is enough to keep people in.
>but the character of his output had changed to the extent that it was not published in technical journals as it had been

Grothendieck didn't publish much in journals at all, ever. He was famous for writing books, not technical articles, such as the EGA and SGA series. His later work was the same, and the resulting manuscripts were widely sought because they were really good stuff.

Before he died he also claimed to have many tens of thousands of pages more that would never see the light of day, and people have sought those documents ever since.

I'm quite familiar with his output because my PhD is in algebraic geometry, and I've worked through his (known) writings extensively.

Here [1] is his complete list of publications. You'll notice by far his output is books and lecture notes, with very few papers at any point in his career.

If there is a vastly overpaid asshole in the group, they could throw others off their scent by adding a really small, or even negative value. Then when the overall sum is revealed, they would be able to calculate the correct value for themselves, while everyone else stays gruntled.
Most nicer headlights are shaped[1] in a way that the drivers side beam is shorter than the passenger side beam. You don’t want to blind drivers and it gives the passenger side more visibility. They also adapt to turns. Matrix headlights do the same and much more. High beams illuminate the whole road and not just the ground in the same lane as the car.

It is way more expensive because it is way more functional. A PCR machine simply changes the temperature of an aluminum block quickly (and programmably). Their qPCR machine includes a spectrofluorimeter with digital output for measuring the amounts of material present at each PCR cycle. Commercial qPCR instruments cost 5 - 10X (or more) a PCR instrument.

>What do you mean by "the risk is low"?

Covid may spread very easily but for majority of people its either asymptotic, means they never get sick or they only have mild symptom.

As far as long term consequences, of course, covid like any other diseases in existence can have long term consequences for some people.

>I personally don't have any of the factors that would put me at higher risk of death"?

There is always some risk with anything if you keep looking , at some point people has to accept the risk.

You think Lockdown doesn't have risk ? it cause damage and people suffering too. At this point the damage is way more than the covid itself.

I'd say there are probably two things your trainer can't currently do, that you can. (Of course, if your trainer was interested and put in the effort, he probably could).

One is: have a good intuition/model for what will need to be changed. (What will need to be changed and what effect that might have).

Another is: confidence that he'll be able to resolve any problem he might get into.

(That's not even considering that programming, I think, gets an aura of nerdy/hard, when a lot of it is very accessible).
As someone who is a strong worker but a bit of a pushover, and whose job description has nothing to do with haggling, I strongly disagree with this. The company benefits if all of their best workers can afford rent, and they gain little by paying effective bargainers a larger slice of the pie.
Without free will you've never made a decision. Try telling anyone they didn't decide what they do or like or wear and you'll see that (for now) identity is tightly tied to free will in most peoples minds.
Forgive me, but this sounds like the same perspective of the famous quote "640K is more memory than anyone will ever need on a computer" (no idea if Gates actually said it). People will always fill the bandwidth with something (just like memory), perhaps with something we don't even use today at all. Though note that the new usage pattern will only emerge after usage is ubiquitous, which is usually due to decent pricing.
I don’t see any reason to think that all engineers contribute the same amount of value (and therefore paying different amounts is entirely reasonable).

Thought experiment: if you were going to form a startup and needed two other engineers, would you know across your history which ones to pick from and which ones to avoid?

When meetings become a systemic problem, having some forcing mechanisms to reduce their number and protect time can be a useful tool.

The problem you're mentioning is solvable by defining office hours across the team to make people constraints the same for everyone.
That video is not correct, Marcel incorrectly assumes his relationship is still exponential, but it's an unbiased random walk now, which has an expected quadratic solve time.

sure, you bargained. But your job isn't to bargain for salary. That's not the value you provide to a company.

And so the dumb part, the unfair part, about salary discrepancies is that it is divorced from performance. It is divorced from value.

Which doesn't mean that you, on an individual level, shouldn't negotiate.

But it does imply that salary negotiation generally leads to results that (very) (incredibly) (if at all) loosely correlate with what the job is.

And all of this assumes that any two people walking into the same negotiations with the same skillset, exp, etc. will have the same experience. Which is, you know…not how it works.

"Global Catastrophic Risk Survey", 2008 [pdf]

http://www.global-catastrophic-risks.com/docs/2008-1.pdf

Includes discussion of a "biggest natural pandemic".

Posted to HN, if not discussed, on Oct 2, 2016.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12623582

The question of GCR has been raised numerous other times on HN, though admittedly more recently of late:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Infectious disease features prominantly among discussions of GCR:

Even software executives have suggested concern, this example from 5 years ago:

I'm accounting for the OP because it's not correct to say that 'height' is what matters, it's relative height, among gender.
I feel like these no-code companies are a bit ahead of their time and focusing on the wrong audience. Instead of focusing on end user/business user, they should focus on developers. Please create tools (code or not) that make it really easy and fast to create CRUD apps for developers. There hasn't been good ones available. Empower developers first. Last time I check, no business user would want to create an app no matter how easy it is.
> The logic the Netherlands used to counter the "only can help" argument is that wearing cloth masks can lull people into a false sense of security

That line of reasoning makes no sense because it leaves out the fact that the conclusion is drawn from the comparison between a) wearing a mask in public and b) stay locked down indoors while avoiding all social interaction.

The conclusion was never drawn from a comparison between a) wearing a facemask in public, and b) not wearing a facemask in public.

Additionally, during the onset of the covid19 pandemic there were indeed some health officials that argued against mass adoption of facemasks and other personal protection equipment such as latex gloves. However, their rationale was that this would increase demand so radically that it could jeopardize their availability to frontline workers.
>>This isn't correct. The figures are not founded in reality.

I don't have time to look at this link right now, but it's a broad set of metrics that have dramatically improved over the last 30 years, including nutrition, infant mortality, wages, percentage of people with running water, percentage of people with permanent dwellings, etc.

This rejection of the established Economics is no less superstitious/anti-scientific than the rejection of the established findings of epidemiologists on the efficacy of vaccine. It has the same layman's fallacies, and conspiracy theories about the scientific discipline bringing out these findings.
I usually think this, but then I'll see some random piece of advice from thousands of years ago, e.g. Seneca, Sun Tzu, Jesus, Plato and it seems very relevant.

We've got a lot more bells and whistles these days, but maybe the absence of reddit, imgur, youtube and the general dopamine hamster-wheel allowed them to have a better understanding of human nature.

Counter-point is that we are more likely to live longer and have to fight fewer threats of disease, famine, predators and war, so maybe we have more time to contemplate higher thoughts.
Thanks for noting this.

I enjoyed Exhalation but was not aware of the other collection.
A few of them are untrue (I pointed out one claim in my sibling comment), or at the very least, written in such a way as to give an impression that is not true.

The downvoting here is, I assume, largely because it's sanctimonious whataboutism. And in general, you're combining two logical fallacies (both the sanctimonious part and the whataboutism), and many such lists can tend to delve into "I'm cherry-picking only the evidence that I want to see and ignoring anything that disagrees with my viewpoint."

It is amusing to me what is not on this list. I'm surprised there's no mention of Smedley Butler's War is a Racket, or Noah Chomsky's well-known views on the Vietnam War and the US media's involvement with it. I'm especially bemused by the lack of any mention to the drone assassination program, most tied to Obama--perhaps because every media mention of it inevitably criticizes it, so it doesn't work well as a "your government is doing evil stuff that you don't know about" example?

I told Facebook doesn't know "I'm disabled" that's all, To imply I got selected meritoriously.

Obviously everything about my Startup was part of my application details, since my application was hosted on Facebook platform(messenger app) it knew the statistics as well and I believe that's the reason it got selected.

Then again, its Facebook we are talking about here, it might even know what I had for breakfast the day I applied.

But I believe you made that comment out of concern of my well-being, I appreciate that and I apologise if my sentence formation caused unnecessary confusion.
