If you want to attach a spinning object to a stationary one you need bearings, which means friction, which means torque. Nowhere near the torque of a normal helicopter, but something. I take it the double fins in the back (at the end of a long lever) can more than handle that. Or at least, as long as the bearings don’t fail.

Gyroscopic precession, though... Is that enough tail or do you have to be gentle changing directions in this thing?

Well, yes, but quantity has a quality of its own. Train it with lots of data for emergent behaviour.

I manage 30 people, but I review only 10 of them and the rest are reviewed by my team-leads.

We use KPIs and 360 feedback. These are not perfect measures, and I acknowledge that often, but are good enough for some purposes.

Performance reviews are easy for all sides if there is nothing new in them. If you either side is surprised during a performance review they are not talk to each other nearly enough during the reviewed period.

If I had the opportunity to evaluate I would experiment with more frequent feedback - like monthly sessions, small forms focusing on a very few key items.
Do people find success learning from video? As a class lecture along with a pros I find it ok but not as well as a book. I am not sure if I am old or an outliner. Most youtube/videos lessons seem to move to fast and gloss over details.

Who harassed more journalist and whistle blowers during their time in office, Trump or Obama. Neither was great but the prior administration set new standards for threatening those who would make government justify its actions.

Weird, I've done it quite recently on a Debian system and it reformatted & removed everything it doesn't know from the XML. If you Google this, it's a common issue and apparently the reason why the top-level "metadata" tag was added, because that metadata-tag is carried around as DOM, so doesn't get purged.
I think the analysis is so granular (and sometimes desperate for signal) that individual movers can have plenty of influence.

Also, the volume of non-retail trades is low which amplifies larger trades.

I think if you believe the America portrayed on the news you may come to believe that. But social enforcement whatever you mean by that is much different than being thrown in jail for protesting the government while in the us they've been rioting for 90 days almost without repercussion.

The real world difference is huge no matter how you try to portray it.
I agree with OP in some general sense in a closed political ecosystem because WWI/II didn't happen in a closed ecosystem. The extremes were just enough that it couldn't be easily contained within their perspective domains or countries. I wasn't aware of apt analogies before reading this thread but I just called it the Champion's Paradox, that with enough wins a fighter generally becomes less vigilant, "decadent" if you will, and I'd wager that the same holds true for larger domains as well given that all other things being equal.
The author seems to suggest that most folks have some kind of ethical/moral dilemma around how to best look out for their personal well being by spending their money to make themselves as comfortable as possible. Pretty sure normal people don't think this way.
I was thinking about the same thing! Although the original QR code spec did allow binary payloads[1], smartphones and cameras weren't ubiquitous in mid 90s. But they are now. Transmitting computer virus or malware within the QR code binary payload might just be as easy as pointing your camera lens to the QR code. Since the QR code image is only machine readable not human readable, it would be indistinguishable, neither any digital signature to prevent it from being altered.

The German V2 rockets also used hydrogen peroxide and a catalyst (sodium or possibly potassium permanganate) to drive their turbopumps (which pumped LOx and alcohol into the engine.)

This is also a problem with paid educational content e.g. Pluralsight.

You want 101 tier material? They have it in droves, for every language/framework/concept.

You want high level system design/architecture? Team management training? Project scheduling/estimation? Or other software engineering topics: Good luck with that.

Strongly disagree we’re (the US) in decline at all.

If you think we are, you’d have to agree that the EU is post-decline. The UK, France (the list goes on) are all countries that are past their peak of power, influence and prestige.

But I would argue those EU countries haven’t declined in a negative sense. They’ve just evolved into something other than a global superpower.
Not everyone insists on daemonizing, and not everyone nails their services to whatever popular environment there is. Make it a standard then complain. My point is that doing that also is "learning something new", as opposed to "being a luddite disrespecting our systemd". I'm using systemd and other service managers on all linux instances that I have and with all self-written services, btw, it's just this cool kid stance that bothers.

Also I just downloaded the recent sources of sshd and it does daemon(0, 0) under the hood, unless -D is passed. ssh.service just runs it with -D, so what's the deal? Does one function call for the case when systemd is not there break some religion?

This question almost always needs further qualification, to determine what the goal is. Learning to program is different from preparing for a new career. You get the drift.

That said, for "pure" learning to program, I like the DrRacket IDE and the course book "How to Design Programs" ( http://htdp.org/ ) because it teaches problem solving with programming. And that's what it's about. Should give a newb a sense of whether this is something they want to spend their time doing.

The concept are transferable to other languages; the specific language skills not so much.

You don’t have to centralise podcasts to centralise comments, you could do something similar to disquss and use the ID/hash of the podcast episode then offer some iframe for various outlets to use (assuming they would want to use your service).

Even if no one uses your service you could just have a site where people go to comment.

Thank you for this correction. I guess there are in fact evidence for greater crop yield and more farmer profits with GMO crops.

However this doesn’t really take away from my point that GMO didn’t fix world hunger. Farmers can save money by using less pesticide and have better crop yield all they want but that still doesn’t fix food not going to where it is needed.

This—on its own—doesn’t even take away from my weaker claim that „I doubt GMO has raised the standard of living for the average person“. Sure it has raised the standard of living for the farmers that have the option of swapping to GMO crops that previously needed a lot of pesticide. But unless you believe in some trickle down economic theory that will not automatically raise the standard of living to anyone else.

That all said I do find it a little handy that the quoted study only talks about maize, soy, and cotton. One of these is not even a food crop. And the two food crops here are notorious for giant industrial scale farms where much of the yield isn’t even for human consumption, but turned into feed for the meat industry. See it’s a problem of distribution. The profits of more maize and soy yield grown with less pesticide will most likely stay with the farmer, and even if they reduce the price of their price product, the profit from the cheaper crops will more likely go to the cattle farmer up stream with the cheaper feed. The standard of living for the average person will just remain the same, or—at best—marginally improve.

That misinformation comes in different flavors. The NYT's reporting on "WMD" to legitimize the Iraq Invasion is a stain on their reputation, but I still consider them to be "as reliable as one could hope for".

That vs. Fox News, which was designed from the start as arm of the GOP and is a fount of intentional misinformation.

I think the path forward is curated collections of sources with trusted reviewers.

Edit: defenders can question my assertion of intention regarding Fox News, but its origin and goals are indisputable:

They are not totally wrong, though I would debate Tool with them. Even if you don't like the style or content Tool is really well done musically. Grunge was innovative and creative but wasn't that musically "serious." I can see classically trained musicians hating it. Same goes for punk.

There can be musically well crafted music and there can be creative music. Occasionally you get music that is both. My point was that post-late-90s pop is neither. It's churned out repetitive trash that relies heavily on cheap hooks and bass lines to be catchy and inspire superficial emotion.

The slide of music toward mindless manufactured repetitive pop started in the 80s, but it was in the late 90s that it became really obvious.

I had the same experience with this book. I set out as an intermediate C programmer and ended up just bored to tears with things I felt were obvious and frustrated that questions about “real” C code were not being answered. Also the exercises were... very involved for just trying to learn potentially simple points. I ended up giving up on the book for now, maybe I’ll pick it back up later or I’ll peruse your list.

This is hands down the most entertaining thing I’ve read today. SoftBank is responsible for the spike in gamma across the board, dumping massive amounts of money into OTM calls. Retail (WSB) speculators see unusual options flow, end up piling in on calls and amplify the effect. Market makers are forced to buy the underlying in order to delta hedge, and the price goes up even higher. Rinse and repeat...the positive feedback loop continues and stocks actually only go up.

The financial system is far more broken than people realize.

I’m guilty of taking advantage of this myself, but it’s basically been free money for the last several months. Up until yesterday at least...

1. Inform people to whom you want to transfer money that you're about to push the market up. They buy a wide range of tech stocks (or other derivatives that rely on tech stocks)

2. Make some insane trades that push up tech stocks for a few days

3. Your targets sell, taking a hefty profit

You've effectively transferred money out of your hedge fund to these other people; if the "area of effect" is large enough, it should be difficult to tell who was the target. Don't know if this is efficient or plausible.

You may want to refresh your knowledge of American history. All those things you flag have always existed. It’s no different now.

For those who are against this move, in general are you in favor of government journalism in general? Do you think the US would be better with more government journalism? Should there be a a US postal service newspaper, a bureau of land management newspaper, possibly a US Customs and immigration service newspaper? If not, what's so special about having a government-run military newspaper that you think it should exist, but not the others?

By the standard you set, nothing is a "viral world movement."

Any example you give (including ISIS, which is the context) can be dismissed as not global enough to be a "viral world movement" or too factitious to be considered a movement at all, like the French revolution.

That's what the "no true scotsman" rhetorical fallacy is. Since "viral world movement" is somewhat broad and imprecisely defined, you can always say that any example is not a true scotsman no matter how scottish she is.

The idea that French republicanism (or republicanism generally) was not political movement silly.
