It’s a bit different from the states, rather than big deductibles and no caps, you have small deductibles and lowish caps. So if you break a leg, things are very affordable, but you are quickly on your own if you get cancer.

eFlyer 2 has a shorter wingspan, though, more like a traditional GA aircraft.

Pipistrel's aircraft can actually soar in thermals it has such a long wingspan (I think).

But yeah, I like the eFlyer and I'm looking forward to the 4 person one which you could theoretically use for passenger service.

I don’t really understand how Blackrock “wins big” for their work with the Fed. If I’m reading the article correctly, they’d be making 3 mil a year and are giving fee rebates to the Fed for the shares bought by them. As for the increased investor demand in the ETFs, sure, it’s nice to hold the very thing the Fed is propping up, but that is also true for all investor-grade bonds and some who have lost their investor-grade rating since the pandemic.

For all I care, the article could have been “Fed props up economy, retail investors buy QQQ and its ETF manager wins big.”

I think some nuances are missing from the video. Some teams use a system to detect torque on the wheel gun[0]. When it reaches a certain level, it means the wheel is attached securely. If this happens with all the wheels, then the pit stop is complete and green light can be shown to the driver.

Needless to say, I have witnessed "sensor errors" botch up a perfectly fine pit stop.

> I don’t think it’s stupid at all, it just shows you had a not so great manager.

No, it was epically stupid. The manager was actually very good at their job for reporting that a key team member was planning on leaving and the process for replacement and knowledge transfer needed to begin ASAP.

What both you and the GP haven't figured out is your manager is not your friend, their duty is to the company and you can be friendly but you can't ever let yourself forget you're both their for a paycheck.

If either of you slip information to the other that jeopardizes that person's paycheck you've done them a disservice and force them to choose between financial stability and perceived loyalty to you.

The most pernicious propaganda I've seen in startups and small companies is that _we're a family_ and you can come to me at any time about anything. That's absolute dogshit and you need to put the coolaid down, family doesn't negotiate pay raises and equity, families don't quit or fire each other.
Chinese elderly have pensions, and they do cover health care etc. But the extremely rapid economic growth in the past decades means they have no chance to cover living cost today.
It's definitely executive overreach, but looking at how reasonable it is is the wrong approach. Trump regularly makes overreaching, token executive actions because they excite his base and distract the media from a larger scandal.
I'm black, although not American. I don't wake up every morning thinking about "how deeply racist the word 'master' is". I'm not stupid, I understand that words can have different meaning depending on the context. All these things have absolutely nothing to do with me or my race, it's just a tiny clique of people who get off asserting power on others, nothing more.

Unfortunately, IT and open source orgs do pander to these people, something they will ultimately regret because these people pushing identity politics everywhere are not reasonable and they will always find something to get outraged at, at the expense of the org itself.

I found the approach taken by pol.is to be interesting, it is used in various places to develop rough consensus in multi-stakeholder situations. https://pol.is/ https://github.com/pol-is/

Is that your legal opinion? I mean the executive order does reference:

Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,

Anybody have reference to a good legal analysis relative to those laws?
I don't have any inside knowledge, but as a developer using Swift (that followed the Swift web frameworks closely):

I think Kitura only existed as a long shot for kicking off their cloud offering. They were hoping iOS developers would code their backends in Swift/Kitura and host on IBMs cloud.

But that never happened - so Kitura was killed. Swift on the server is still niche. And the companies that used a Swift backend overwhelmingly went with https://vapor.codes instead. It is faster, and has a nicer API.

Treating foreign businesses on equal footing to domestic ones is a recent phenomena. Historically the US has leveraged trade policy to block foreign enterprise through the use of tariffs during periods of instability ( reconstruction ) and to protect early industries ( Pennsylvania steel industry in the mid-1800s ).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff_in_United_States_histor...

In the event that a country lacks a comparative advantage sufficient to balance trade and maintain local employment and economic growth; Then some degree of trade restriction is useful to ensure both stability and future growth. At 15-20% local unemployment, losing the perceived future growth engine(s) of the economy to foreign competition would not be politically acceptable to a majority of Americans.

How this plays out in the digital age is interesting. Tariffs are largely ineffective due to the nature of services. China has successfully grown a domestic tech industry from 0 - FANG equivalent by blocking all foreign competitors. It will be interesting if the EU seeks a similar strategy to grow its tech sector.
But the rig he made was meant to simulate the actual test of having a long thin tube of water sitting over a tiny section of the fabric. It introduces a lot more widespread stretching than the real test would, inflating the fabric like a balloon (not just simply applying pressure). I bet this affects the water resistance of the fabrics quite a lot, beyond what you'd normally apply to it. Do you stretch your knee fabric like a balloon when you apply pressure onto it to the ground?

Did appreciate the breathability test though.
How to lose weight in one month?
That's likely true now, but we have a problem if the harm (pollution) accumulates each year and doesn't go away. Eventually it may exceed the good.
Back in the mid 90's I worked on a concrete crew for a few months. It was a big outfit building tip up buildings like box store type, maybe 50 guys on site.

Everyone (I think) did meth except me and one other guy, a Native American. It was expected. The pace was set by meth. Lunch was about 10 minutes. Often we would get to work like 3AM for pours. I lasted like 3 months and couldn't handle it any more.

After awhile guys would burn out and not show up. No big deal, replace them with another guy. I saw my supervisor later at a restaurant. He told me how he had tried at one point tried to commit suicide. The resulting impacts on the former employees lives (and the lives of their families and associates) wasn't the companies problem so long as the building went up fast.

That company is still around too. No, not going to name and shame.

While I'm generally in favor of people being allowed to put whatever they want in their bodies there is significant moral hazard and danger. Particularly with drugs like meth and heroin.
> Do people here know that even this 60-day grace window was only put into place relatively recently by the Obama administration?

This is what happens when the people making the laws for unique experiences have never been even in the proximity of those experiences. (Well, in this case it's more likely just cruelty.) You get lawmakers who lived a standard life of an upper-class person and don't realize that finding a job isn't as easy as it may seem or as easy as it was 60 years ago. All that talk about "just go in, do a firm handshake and talk to the owner" might seem funny when it's loons on Facebook saying it but when it's what people base their perception of the world and their lawmaking on... that gets disturbing.
Going along with the firearm analogy, it's only fully useful and powerful tool once you've removed it from its case and removed the trigger lock. Any given firearm may have additional safety features such as interlocks, but they're only effective if they stay out of the way when you intend to shoot. You avoid accidentally shooting yourself and others through training, practice and discipline: treat any firearm as if it were loaded, keep your finger off the trigger until you intend to shoot, etc.

When setting up a build system for multiple people to use, it's important to agree on a general approach and some rules to follow in order to keep the system from turning into a mess. It's code like anything else, and benefits from training, practice and discipline. Using a language that most folk already know is almost always better than using an obscure one out of a sense that the obscurity makes it safer.

When building up a build system, I suggest focusing on designing abstractions to make 90% of use cases trivial for other developers to use. Spitting out libraries and linking them into binaries, existing autocoding scripts, etc. The other 10% of cases that other folk run into, loudly volunteer to make yourself available to help them work through it. Most of the time, there's a way to do what they need that isn't horrendous, or you can take the opportunity to improve your abstractions.

If your problem is that other developers you work with just go in with a hatchet and make a mess without informing anyone, perhaps it's time to adobt some processes to address that, such as better version control hygiene and code reviews.

Big disagree there. 2019 was already starting to see a trend towards an economic bubble bursting with a big near miss in the market that was somewhat corrected by government overreach, and people were already overextended before mass layoffs nation-wide. Many of these jobs are not coming back, and people's perspective on what matters to them has changed dramatically.

It will take a generation to see things recover.
I was just listening to Darknet diaries about some sellers getting caught. What a colossal waste of resources all of this cat and mouse game is.
I still cannot comprehend the significance of Moore's law. Although the hardware keeps getting more sophisticated, I cannot perceive that today's computer is 100x faster or more than 20-30 years ago. Perhaps the software has been getting bloated to counteract or the speed increase is not real.

For AI chip, will we fall into the same situation? will AI algorithm still focus on efficiency?
The Executive Branch of the USA has always held the power to direct the nation’s relationships with foreign powers.

China's response wasn't just "a full lockdown for a few weeks" - they've repeatedly imposed new full lockdowns in areas across the country where cases are detected. I can't find recent news, but as of last month millions of Chinese citizens were still under full lockdown.
Same can be said about the victim hood mentality regarding native Americans and slavery here in the states.
To clarify the CCP control of companies:

1) The CCP has to have a representative on the board. The ccp say it's like a union rep(!) since they are communists. But they don't have a veto, just a vote like other board members.

2) This condition is only for companies over a certain size.

3) This also applies to large foreign companies not just domestic.
The numbers from those performance tests aren't all good news for AMD.

>Against the x86 competition, Tiger Lake leaves AMD’s Zen2-based Renoir in the dust when it comes to single-threaded performance.

>[In multicore] AMD’s platform scales incredibly well in execution-bound workloads as it fully takes advantage of double the core count. In more memory-heavy workloads, the Zen2 cores here seem to be lacking sufficient resources and scale below the performance of Intel’s 4-core designs in some workloads.

We'll have to see what the testing figures look like after Zen3 and Apple Silicon ship.

I would need to give you a very deep dive into how europa and germany especially handle this so you can understand it ... I often forget how different the way people think about regulations is in the USA. On the surface: There is a joint initiative of the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) and the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) which work with domain experts to define the abstract standards for critical infrastructure. There are more specialized sets where the German Hospital Federation (DKGeV) has more influence in how to make it happen for hospitals in particular. The whole regulation is set up to focus on continuous improvement, risk management, escalation processes, investigation of breaches and the like. It is related to ISO27001, but goes beyond that.

Maybe comparing it to MilSpec makes it understandable to citizens of the USA: we want our hospitals IT infrastructure to be like the navy wants its warships: made out of steel, with redundant systems and sane compartmentalization so it can withstand most attacks. And we are willing to invest billions of tax money to get our existing hospitals up to these standards, because many are like viking longboats: they stay afloat and cure disease, but they are not protected against torpedoes. A hospital looses most of its infrastructure to a some ransomware? There is an investigation by the supervisory body into the technical and organizational details of the specific security incident and they really don't care about certifications printed by some private company that claims to have audited the hospital. The expected result is a "how this hospital intents to prevent this type of incident in the future" document. These standards are not about certifications of industry sector mediocrity waved around to shift blame and win liability cases in court. Also I don't think liability cases work that way over here, but i am not a lawyer.
> "My grandparents were labor leaders and I'm pretty certain they'd be ashamed I can't or haven't done more to rectify this.

Unfortunately tech unions are typically the ones railing against H1Bs entirely. The mere presence of H1B workers fundamentally increases worker supply (by definition). In fact it was the "US Tech Workers Union" that championed recent actions against H1B workers. And let's be honest they were not fighting to make our lives easier (by making H1B less draconion), only theirs, by reducing the supply of workers.

And while some of them will sugar coat this by pretending to care about H1B worker's conditions and all that, the truth is that as long as the US continues to be a more desirable place to live compared to many other countries, and as long as you need a job to live here, foreign workers will always tilt the equilibrium a bit towards lower wages compared to a domestic worker supply. The true solution would be if you made the path to permanent residence easy for skilled individuals so that they don't need to take these employment decision under duress.
Another thing worth noting, however insensitive, is that many (most?) restaurants are just not great businesses. Many of them have mediocre product. Many of them are barely profitable and have no working capital. Many of them are just undifferentiated franchises that anyone can step in and run poorly. It shouldn't be a huge surprise that already-shaky businesses are the first to go when a rare bad event happens. Warren Buffet: “You only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out.“
I think it's easy to say the ban doesn't make sense when it is perhaps a preventative measure. We have seen social networks take over others many times in terms of popularity.

If TikTok and WeChat's usage becomes more widespread in the voting population of the US, they would have a lot of influence by controlling what kind of content its users sees; e.g., FB has been criticized many times for this, namely performing psychological experiments on its users

I recall this quote by former KGB informant Yuri Bezmenov:

> The main emphasis of the KGB is not in the area of intelligence at all. Only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage and such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion or active measures ... or psychological warfare

The difference between TikTok and WeChat and FB/Google/Twitter is obvious: the former are to some degree controlled by China and the latter are private entities.

I understand there are services part of WeChat that are essential to users, so I would hope there is a good compromise here. I don't see why the communication component of the app can't continue to exist but WeChat is a lot more than a chat app.

There absolutely is a case. I was not meaning to imply that there wasn't. I was meaning specifically to address the idea that the rights of a sovereign nation can be invoked to decide whether any particular action legal under the laws of the United States.

As long as the USA remains a country that is bound by rule of law rather than rule of dictate, one can't reasonably argue with due process simply by invoking the fact that the USA is a sovereign nation, because the US government is comprised of more than just its executive leadership. The executive branch is bound by laws as drafted by the legislative branch and interpreted by the judicial branch.
There is no suckless "philosophy". The official page explaining it makes a few solid points about simplicity vs. complexity [0] but for the most part its just thinly-veiled programmer rage and elitism. This is reinforced by the community's purity tests which include enforcing arbitrary limits on the lines of code in a given project (about as dumb and wrong as dogmatically asserting that more lines of code in a commit is better - complexity is about abstraction). That's not even getting into the racial purity tests [1].

Aside from that, suckless software just sucks. Software is more than just source code; it's the user experience, it's the community, it's what comes out of that software. The Blender source code certainly wouldn't fulfill the suckless vision (in sofar as one even exists) and yet it's infinitely more important and useful than any piece of suckless software. Showing off your minimalist desktop on /r/unixporn or /g/ is fun and all but eventually you're going to want to do real work with your computer and realize how much time you've wasted recompiling C code to make basic configuration changes.

Yes of course, no one wants that the refugee camps be permanent, but as we can see, the camps are used at least for 5 to 10 years, and this is a long period so the sewage network is one of the most important needs to have in these camps that the people could have a safe life there.

In addition, this project could be also used for any type of camp.

Indeed. IBM could have done a lot more for Power than they are, but they don't understand how. They only understand how to make overpriced hardware for the enterprise. They don't understand how to build a grassroots developer community or the consumer friendly hardware needed for that. This has been a problem for nearly twenty years, as that problem is also the reason Apple switched away from Power.

Power and RISC V should look a lot more attractive because of the Nvidia/ARM deal, and Power has a lot of advantages over RISC V, with proven high performance designs and apparently really good Linux ecosystem support for ppc64le. But with IBM as the captain of Power, I highly doubt Power can capitalize on that at all.
