It's reasonable to phrase the working of a wing either in terms of momentum or in terms of a different in pressure between the top and bottom. What's incorrect is when trying to explain the action through bernouilli it's often asserted that the air above the wing must take the same time to transit the wing as the air on the bottom. Not only is this completely unjustified to assume when trying to solve the problem, it's also false in practice: in general air above and below will not pass the wing in the same time, even though the air over the top is travelling faster.

What effect do wolves have on wild hog population?
This sounds exactly how my sense of chronology works. I have to find time markers and work my way from those to arrive at when a related memory occurred. I'll frequently reference photos that I happen to know has some obscure clue in it like a shirt a family member was wearing because I knew they had that shirt when I went to X event, which I still have a ticket stub memento for, therefor it was Y date.

I always attributed this to being home schooled (really just kind of free-range unschooled) until I was 14. I feel like I'm missing a lot of date-significant markers like passing from one grade to the next that most people have.

Why should we even pay? There's no constitutional right to be able to leave your livestock basically unprotected on vast tracts of land where they're vulnerable to predators.

The argument would go: the government does not want the rancher to actually protect his cattle because that would involve shooting the wolves. That's why the wolves on the list in the first place.

If don't want cattle put in a barn all day, then you get cattle out in the fields.
Reintroduction and protection of large predators has diffuse benefits and concentrated damages. It affects the average rancher orders of magnitude more (and importantly, more negatively) than it affects the average non-rancher.

So you have a group with common interests who are ready to act as an obstruction to the greater social good because it's going to financially harm them. You _can_ tell them to shove it, but that has political consequences and might backfire and undo your whole conservation effort. Or you can help them out financially while they transition to doing business in this new normal where wolves still get to exist.

> have a hidden implication that "other choices" really means no reputable choice would take their material,

I don't know if it's...super hidden. Isn't that the entire point of the marketplace of ideas?

You're free to espouse anything, free from government intervention. But if all reputable members of society decide not to associate with an idea...it's losing in the marketplace.

Free speech isn't the right to have everyone listen to every idea. It's the freedom to enter the idea into the marketplace of ideas. But the marketplace of ideas is as cutthroat a business as any other marketplace.

I _can_ understand the complaint from an anti-monopoly point of view: arguing that Facebook and Twitter have too strong a hold on that marketplace, and their influence over it should be reduced. But that strikes me more as an anti-monopoly stance that should be directed at particular actors.

(Too paywalled didn’t read.)

Not sure how they measured, but I’ve definitely been working weirder hours but probably less. In my personal experience having no commute was crossed with having no childcare. This created a dynamic with me and my wife where we worked essentially split shifts which may have appeared to be more hours, but with significant gaps dedicated to watching the kids. Normally the commute also included a commute to daycare/school which was sort of dual purpose commute and child supervision.
Is there any reason to believe that cheating is something that started recently?
Is there any reason to believe that the ROM loaded on every single original Donkey Kong cabinet is exactly the same?
Is there any reason to believe that the components on every single original Donkey Kong cabinet perform the same?

If you look at the sports world you have, more or less, the acceptance that cheating happens, the components change, training regimens change, etc. Professional baseball has comprehensive statistics dating back to the 1860s and the result is that people have divided the sport into eras, and when you compare players in different eras you don't look at the stats alone, you compare how they performed relative to their peers, etc.

A "high score" list that ignores the reality of change is worthless.
Low level differences between emulators and the physical hardware could make a big difference to the high score/speedrun in theory, especially when developers take advantage of esoteric or undocumented features.
> On the other hand I think it is a common mistake to attribute economic success to politics. Sure, they lay the framework, but that doesn't mean they are responsible for success or failure.

I agree that it is a common mistake. It is difficult to draw direct lines to individual ups and downs to policies and that trying to do that is usually a tool used to swing voters more than what is actually happening. But I think it can’t be overstated the effect political decisions have, in the aggregate, of shaping the economic situation. Internally, look at the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, and the resulting construction of 50,000ish miles of highway over the next 2 decades. While it is a bit harder to draw a direct line from all that to the rapid growth of Walmart and their newfound ability to transport large amounts of goods faster and to more places than rail, it is easy to say that that political decision had a profound effect on how the country operated over the last 60 years. The country would look very different in almost every facet had that not happened.

Externally, look at the trade agreements and foreign policy decision in the post WWII cold war era. If the US had not decided to embrace Japan as a trading partner and had not imposed strict controls on their post WWII government on military spending, the money from the Marshal Plan, the Japanese government’s decision to rebuild the economy through the central planning of the MITI, would they have exploded into the technological powerhouse they became? Maybe, but I can’t imagine it would have looked anything like what they did end up with.

> I had a complete different interpretation. I understood it as prompt to reflect on everything you do with an examination if it furthers partisan goals.

I think it is both. To snap you out of the idea that politics is just those big talking point issues that politicians and voters focus on (or that politicians convince voters to focus on). That it is a lot of everyday things that you may rarely think about being connected to “politics” and partisan actions.
Agreed. The way how I see it, it's not a core competency of a notebook though (it's important to keep the medium itself versatile enough), but of an extension. As you mentioned, there are some startups working exactly on this (thus very likely a much better job than a notebook), so it's probably a problem of a missing link (like a nice API for UI extension).

Speaking on behalf of Deepnote, there's no such an API yet, but it's something that I'd definitely like to see and build.

IMO, that’s a completely reasonable stance. Cheaters often retroactively lose trophies even if they might not have cheated in that instance. It’s simply better for the community to have such standards.

That’s arguably a much harsher stance.

>I'm sorry but I'm not in favor of that argument. I'm not saying you're saying this but other people who have expressed that often, in my opinion, have a hidden implication that "other choices" really means no reputable choice would take their material, so they have to pick a disreputable choice, at which point people point to them and say "See, they have to go to a disreputable choice; they must be disreputable too."

> What they've added is a rule to shut out QAnon.

This is true, but it overlooks the fact that it can be used to shut out a lot more than QAnon.

> Which is the responsible thing to do.

That is a matter of opinion, not fact. What QAnon "is", is a matter of opinion, and each individual opinion is based on what the individual knows about QAnon. Based on my experiences, most people's perception of QAnon is derived from reading stories about QAnon in the media, and most every story I've ever read in the media seems far more like propaganda [1] than reporting well researched evidence. This might not be so bad if people realized that this is the case, but from what I read on forums, most people seem to believe that these stories are ~purely factual (I imagine this is what they believe because it seems that way, because each new story is cognitively evaluated within the context of current knowledge, which is of course based on the prior consumption of such stories).

[1] Example: QAnon "is" [X], "QAnoners" "believe(!)" [X, Y, Z, etc], etc. These are estimates, at best, due to the fundamental of the organization/phenomenon (actually, such statements are always estimates, it's just particularly difficult with things like QAnon, conspiracy theorists, supporters of a political party, etc - and also, there is psychological motive (often not even consciously realized) for framing reality in a certain way). What QAnon/QAnoners is/are, precisely/comprehensively, is not known. The human mind often seems to not willingly accept the notion of unknowness, particular on certain classes of topics [2], which makes this sort of propaganda particularly potent.

[2] Replace QAnon in the above with "Jews" or "Black people", and observe whether your mind processes the examples differently. I find thought experiments like this to be quite an effective tool for checking whether one is biased when reading the news - I would think that if politicians and the media really cared about "fake news" as much as they breathlessly proclaim, we would have seen some organized public initiative for actually teaching the critical thinking skills we're constantly told are needed. But what we actually see is the notion of critical thinking being used as a psychological talking point in the overall, unseen meme war. But then, has this not always been more or less the case throughout history?

Maybe only if it is "actually satirical in tone" as opposed to the "being sincere and pretending it is a joke" style. And maybe because moderation at scale often misses legitimage nuance because it is unthinking by definition.

In Norway we pay ranchers for sheep which are taken by wolves. They still really hate wolves.

Demo: How to track/manage work you're getting feedback on
I've been a product manager at companies like Microsoft to smaller startups like Zocdoc. I spent so much of my time wrangling stakeholders instead of creating. That's why we're building Opul (www.getopul.com) to let you get better & faster project feedback from stakeholders. We also automate the annoying parts of collaboration, like the endless follow up messages. And we bring comments that people are leaving across different tools into place.

Would love to hear your feedback on our latest demo video.
Well the core "issue" is they Vega ,as far as I understand it, isn't a format in the same sense as SVG is

So you're creating a hard dependency on having to embed a JS run time. There is no other rendering backend. If you have your problem space all speced out then maybe that's alright, but that generally leaves me a bit uncomfortable. The dependency graph is huge vs geom.

With geom I started my project with using batik, then moved to svgslamander when I needed to draw updates a bit faster and then when I had a bit more time to write my own renderer I changed to cljfx/javafx.

If I'm not happy with the vega renderer then I'm kinda stuck - while geom is all a digestible size

The "renderer" as such is here

I basically massage geom's svg hiccup into cljfx maps. The formats are almost one to one

> It was a good effort, but I don't think Steam Machines will happen unless they can go toe to toe with the consoles. They don't need to, though, because people who want to run Linux are happy installing it on kit they already have.

I think if Valve built out their game streaming tech (stream from your PC in the background or stream from our cloud), offered a gamepass-like subscription, and make proton work for 100% of their games and tested all of them for compatibility, they would have the best offering. From the sales, usability, features, and catalog they'd be able to be competitive. With what Microsoft is doing, in a few years steam will be in a very bad spot.

Well, that view is correct, and I agree with it having said, "there is no free speech on the Internet", it being a peer system where people carry your speech for their reasons whatever they are, here and elsewhere many times.

Earlier on, competition was robust.

Today however...

We are at a point where the big players overlap with the public interest.

There needs to be a protected public square, and it needs to be relevant.

The private houses garnered the public trust and are leveraging it for money. I am not speaking to that other than the public appears to find that equitable.

Now, these moves to censor and manage the political dialog have broken that trust, and with that goes the loss of perception of equity, or value. That could be a very costly and litigious change of opinion.

And here we are today, beginning to see that change play out.

Frankly, being a product vs a platform is a part of that discussion.

Partisan politics is another concern. People are talking about how say, FB aligns with the right, Twitter with the left, and so on.

I submit that won't work and either we make it work and honor the Constitution and the idea of free speech, or we lose that idea and or see growing conflict that adds value to no one.

You are trying to draw a bright line that doesn't exist. Individuals can (and do) use mailchimp to expand their reach to a broader audience, and moneyed interests can (and do) use platforms like twitter to push their message. There is no policy you can write that takes into account the ulterior motives of platform usage. The motive is always "reach an audience".

Suing is only a jerk move if he's wrong, which can only be decided in the eye of each beholder.

Billy Mitchell built his life and career around this effort. Whether he is right or wrong in his claims, it matters.

Looking at the code briefly, it doesn't seem like it's actually an accurate conversion. The core of the conversion algorithm appears to be based on doing a series of floating-point multiplies, which of course will tend to trash the last few bits. Using volatile to try to avoid reassociation here. But there's no comments indicating why the rounding is going to be correct in the range provided, and my gut is that it's not going to be correct. (Especially since the double-to-int conversion is truncating, and I'd naïvely expect half the rounding error to round down, which means the last digit is off by one).

Here in Wisconsin the wolf argument is a wealthy vs poor issue. Specifically, it is mostly the southern wealthy urbanites and suburbanites dictating to the poorer northern half of the state that they must put up with the re-introduction of wolves.

It would be much less of an issue if the wolves were also introduced into the county forests and state parks in the southern half of the state where the wealthy urbanites and suburbanites live. However, the southern Wisconsinites like the idea of having a wolf population but do not want to actually have to deal with the risks and hardships that come with them.
We seemed to manage quite well before Medium. It's not a portal in the sense that YouTube is. I got to YouTube to find content. I end up on Medium because I found content via some other means.

Personal websites are great and I’ve been trying to put more content on my own personal website (I made nine decent-size posts this month, and I’m happy with that). HOWEVER,

Running a personal website is a time sink and it can become a real pain as time goes on. It’s not a problem to create a personal website and shove a few HTML files on there, or set up a Wordpress installation, or create something with Jekyll. That’s easy enough.

The problem is that 10 years later, your HTML files are sprawling, or you rely on Wordpress plugins that are no longer maintained, or you’re fighting against your generator for whatever reason.

I’ve somehow managed to get my personal website into a state where posting a new article is little more than adding a file to a Git repo and then running a command to deploy it, but I always feel like I need to modify the scripts, and I always want to revisit choices I made when building the website.

This is a great followup question.

I don't have an opinion on technical books. I buy them. I have ebooks from Amazon to iBooks, to Manning, Apress, Pragprog ....

I don't have something against paying. I have something against subscription paywall. I pay this month and I read something. Then next month if I want to read my subscription needs to be valid.

A book once bought I can read it anytime I want.

Also my main thing is not even with paywall.

It is a trend I saw which I think it makes the path of self-through beginner harder. Also Medium started to appear from time to time higher than other resources.

I am working with some people who are trying to switch to IT and I usually need to explain to them either how to open Medium to read the article or how to go to next resources. I am pretty sure some of them are spending time navigating information. Yes, maybe the solution is to say: go and make a subscription to Medium, but it just raises the bar of entering the IT.

Then my second thing is this: what happens with all that content when Medium decides to go away (pivot, close ...)? It will vanish like many other great content online.
