It's not 10-11MW heat out for 1MW electricity in. It's "500 MW plasma from 50 MW of injected thermal power" which would need 300 MW electrical input. After conversion back to electricity, it might give as much electricity out as is put in!

How do you feel about the reliability of this setup? I currently use a Dual GPS for (VFR) navigation and am wanting to get ADS-B in, but I want to reduce the risk of distraction caused by a failing receiver (or backup AHRS) in flight. Has the Stratux proven as reliable as more integrated solutions like a Sentry Mini?

I also have a dell monitor - I downloaded all the pdf manuals including one that said:

"Statement of Volatility – Dell U3219Q Monitor

The purpose of this document is to certify that the Dell
U3219Q monitor will not save, retain, or reproduce a signal
to any internal or external component after power has been
removed and reapplied to the unit.

The Dell U3219Q monitor contains both volatile and
non-volatile (NV) memory ICs. Volatile memory(s) lose their
data immediately upon removal of power. Non-volatile memory
ICs continue to retain their data even after the power has
been removed. However, no input video data is written into
these memory ICs during operation.

List below contains volatile and non volatile memory ICs
used in the Dell U3219Q monitor."

Then it had a table for each storage chip within the monitor
with its purpose and characteristics including:

- system eeprom
- hdmi edid eeprom
- system flash rom
- usb hub eeprom
- pd controller flash rom

It's just a strange way to conceptualize the process. The whole concept of a ballot proposition is to give voters the final say on policy questions - if legislators could easily overturn propositions, what would be the point?

I've noticed that even suggesting it in conversations online. It's not just young children who are scared of the dark.

I'm not sure if it can be used to help solve the problem, but I've seen that when places try reduced lighting, the people who live there love the result long-term and do not want to go back. I have family in Sedona, which places strong limits on almost all fixed outdoor lighting, and Boulder, which has removed street lighting in many areas, and those rules are overwhelmingly popular.

This is actually a different thing, though. This is pruning a working piece down to a smaller one. Kind of like gardening by only weeding. It works, but only if you have a full set of crops naturally.

This idea seems more to be about planting crops in such a way that you can remove them easily from a garden.

The article leads with 'I wanted to meet a mate and have a baby without wasting time’.

It also reads as if the people in the article optimized their lives for money and then realized in mid life that they neglected the core parts of forming deep personal romantic connections. It casts the forming of deep romantic bonds as "wasting time" and as something that can be purchased later on.
I think it's really important to dissociate supporting decriminalisation of possession and use from being "pro drugs". They are very much not the same thing.
My codebases can be difficult to maintain (I know, because I'm the one that has to maintain most of them).

It's not because the code is bad. Quite the opposite, really. It's well-structured, and incredibly well-documented.

It's because I tend to do some fairly ambitious things, and write in a modular, layered fashion that can distribute functionality throughout the stack.

I also tend to write in a fairly asynchronous fashion (would you call it "reactive"? I dunno. I've been writing code like that since long before "reactive" was an official buzzword).

Can be hard to grok.

I appreciate the comment. But if those were enough deterrent for everyone, why do we have any drug addicts at all?

This is an incremental lowering of the barriers to people getting involved with hard drugs, and I cannot imagine that it will not produce some incremental outcome of people getting addicted compared to before.

Does Knowing God Just Take Practice?
This is a great question...When I was in college in the 2000s RFID was going to be a game changer. The ability to track everything...the ability to just push your cart out and pay without scanning your items. Technology is there, but my only guess is somehow it's cheaper to have stolen items and less accurate counts.
The Blub Paradox is flat-out wrong. To see why, just look at Haskell and Lisp.

When a Lisp user looks at Haskell, they are sure they're looking down, because Haskell doesn't have macros. But when a Haskell type (pun intended) looks at Lisp, they are also sure that they're looking down, because Lisp doesn't have a decent (Hindley-Milner) type system.

This situation - two languages, each sure that they're above the other - shows the problem. You cannot rank languages on a one-dimensional axis called power.

Another way of getting there is to ask: Power? Power for what? For writing programs. What kind of programs? General programs? I've never written a general program in my life. I've written a bunch of specific ones, though. What I care about is power to write this program - the one I'm currently trying to write. (Why do I care about a language's power to write a program that I'm not trying to write?)

Instead, think in terms of yak shaving. What are the yak shaving aspects of the program I'm trying to write? Think of that as a vector in a multi-dimensional space. Think of languages as branches on a tree. Which branch extends farthest in the direction of the yak-shaving vector? Use that language.

But you have to have kind of an expanded idea of what "yak shaving" means. In particular, if you pick a "non standard" language, training your team becomes part of the yak shaving.
Not necessarily. Code that has been extended heavily is often the hardest code to delete. The extension itself becomes the "ball of mud" that was meant to be avoided.
Would love to hear at which point you think that is? Like, in which cases do you feel a corporations best interest outweighs the publics? Do you have some examples?
Discogs started as an electronic music database, so it's not surprising.

I guess we can say that all these crowdsourced music databases have obvious priority or bias, despite they are appeared to, or want to, be a comprehensive one, which isn't very realistic just due to the sheer amount of the music produced. In Discogs' case, even though it gradually expanded to "everything", its strength is still at its core (where it started): electronic, hip-hop, rock, jazz, (in this order, named in the article), but probably not pop.

One probably would have much better luck looking for something in one than the other, totally depending on the genre. Like, if I'm looking for game music, I definitely will check VGMDB first.

Of course, it's not limited to music either. It can happen in much, much smaller fields. One particular case I want to mention is that there used to be three wikis for a single game, Dota 2, and each have their own strengths (there are still two today!).
I have had an unrelated similar problem with Chase before, local interaction was all positive in sorting out a cross border issue, about a week later someone from a different office closed the account without notification, information or recourse.

Local branch manager was frustrated but couldn't get any more information. The timing really made my life difficult for a few months, completely unnecessarily.

That was the last time I banked with Chase. A few colleagues told me they proactively left after also, due to the way it was handled - who knows if that was true.
No matter how you feel about AB5, allowing an industry to write laws and then coerce its workers into acting as campaign volunteers whether they agree with the law or not is a horrible precedent. This is not how our laws should be made, and we will come to regret this.
Thanks Dan, looking into this now!

ADSB and Opensky are the big ones. IIRC one of them censors aircraft on the owners' request but because they're lower profile lots of planes that are blocked on Flightaware are still visible. One of them also has an API that returns "interesting" aircraft (military, government, owned by celebrities etc) which is fun to look at

Edit: I think it's Opensky that filters their data. Not many planes are filtered but their coverage also isn't as comprehensive as ADSBExchange. For one specific usecase I did find Opensky's API easier to work with

"Rich tech workers" live everywhere in the city, and all the most expensive neighborhoods (Pac Heights, Presidio, Russian Hill, Nob Hill, Ashbury) actually all voted no.

My takeaway is that neighborhoods without access to public transit and where people still need to commute to work voted yes.

> I don’t understand the point you’re making here. Surely your second sentence contradicts the first?

I rarely have a point to make. I started off thinking I disagree with the parent comment but as I started typing I realized I agree with them more than not. It is more of a thinking out loud. It helps me a lot because I have very simplistic opinions that are sometimes VERY incorrect so when I think out loud, people can correct me. I guess where I thought I differed from the parent is that when you "believe" in something, you will dig into your position given contrary evidence. I like to believe this is not true with scientists.

Offf, as some one coming from the UK, thrush vs redwing is not even in the difficult category... Try little brown birds of which there are many, they are basically indistinguishable, they love to hide, so notorious they even get their own wikipedia page[1]; or gulls, also many species, as well as several variations of adolescent plumage; or raptors which in the UK you pretty only see as a silhouette while they are hundreds of feet up in the air, and seen so rarely you never learn to distinguish them by their outline.

Currently I have a similar setup but the data is sent to FlightRadar24 and you get a $499.99/year Business subscription for free for doing exactly this (but sending the data to them).

So, the question I wanted to bring up (and might be controversial) is to know what the differences between the two are? Taking a quick look around it does feel like FlightAware has a lot more openness to it than FR24, which is interesting for me, but I am interested in other opinions on this?

I mean, getting the subscription for pushing the data is always a nice bonus, kinda tempted to just push data to both, and have another Pi sitting in my loft!

Personally, I love just being nosey and seeing the flights around my area, but I am just a bit strange like that ;)

Thank you! I have been running one of those FlightFeeders for over a year now. Antenna mounted on the roof at 11m above ground. As an EE I can say those feeders have much better hardware than average Pi+RTL-SDR+wire. Thanks to a very good GNSS receiver inside I can also now tell exactly where my house is at any time ;). Have you also tried to use the data from GPS network for any other purpose than flight tracking (seismology, atmospheric studies)?
Mechanical complexity. A collective pitch helicopter requires a bunch of expensive moving parts and linkages to run the swash plate. The most traditional design requires 3 relatively powerful linear actuators of some sort as well as a spherical bearing at the swash plate, then 2 linkages to the rotor head and 2 more bearings on the rotor head itself. A quadcopter requires brushless motors (usually with 2-3 typical sealed ball bearings each) and props. Less moving parts, broadly generalizing, means fewer ways to fail.
Clearly we have differences in what is intuitive and what is not.

I think OP is trying to say that people who interpret Case 1 and Case 2 in terms of absolute difference in number of heads rather than the ratio of heads to tails have questionable foundations in probability.

I probably won't be able to change your intuition, but let me try to show why thinking in terms of difference in log-odds is grounded on nice mathematical properties.

When thinking about how to compare two probabilities (i.e. a function that takes two numbers between 0 and 1, and outputting a real number), one thing that is nice to have is the function outputting opposite numbers for the complementary event.

A comparison function that fulfills this property (and other nice properties) is the difference in the log-odds.

For example, using this comparison for p1=0.002, p2=0.001 gives about 0.694. What's nice is that when p1=(1-0.002) and p2=(1-0.001) you get -0.694. So indeed this comparison function is giving expected results.

Using this comparison function to look at 0.500 and 0.499 gives 0.004, which is less than 0.694. This suggests that using this mathematical framework to compare probablities, (0.500, 0.499) is similar while (0.002, 0.001) is more different.

Indeed if you take the extreme case of 0.001 and 0 (I made a typo above) you see that the comparison function outputs infinity. This also makes sense when making decisions because when comparing an event that is impossible compared to an event that is merely improbable, the actual probability no longer matters for the latter event (think of your coin flipping case again with p1=0, and letting the other p2 be any number between 0 and 1).
Who, besides the lonely and the weird, wants to talk to pollsters? Maybe the very passionate voter who believes the "other" side is deeply, and fundamentally evil. So for me, it comes back to the vilification of the "other" by media and educated elites that there is an insurmountable leftist bias in polling. If half of what Trump is accused of were true, this wouldn't have been close.

Baader-Meinhof phenomenon?
There are just as many examples of “I just wanted you to inherit the family business / uphold our traditional mores / have a simple life like we do”. It’s a very contentious topic and in many ways it was not even considered on a large scale until the 1960s, the default assumption being that someone born in a family of X should accept he is a X too, and the duty of their family was to raise them to be that X. This was even enforced legally, with aristocracy, slavery, castes, etc. Personal wishes and individual psychological wellbeing were just not a thing.

Still today, the degree of conformity enforced on kids, that you see in many cultures, makes it extremely difficult to find a common definition of “good parenting”. Would a “good parent” force you to fast from sunrise to sunset for a month, or encourage you to join an organization that requires permanent celibacy? What about pushing you to prominently display your faith in everyday situations, despite the real possibility of physical violence against you? Or inviting you to mate inside the same ethnic community as your parents, “to keep traditions alive”? Or even just pushing you to follow fitness regimes, because “healthy”, even though you hate sports and exercise? Is that good or bad? These are very big questions and I don’t think we’re anywhere near finding common answers for them.

It's possible there is only mink-to-human transmission and not human-to-human. This was the case for MERS, which was contained in part by culling chickens.
But everyone who's drinking alcohol is doing it at least in part for the effect. Non-alcoholic beer is a thing and there are plenty of wine replacements and mocktails, but they're nowhere near as popular as the real thing. Obviously there's a difference in a glass of wine with dinner and being roaring drunk, but that's true of any drug. You can micro-dose LSD, or you can take it until you're seeing pink elephants on the ceiling.
Yeah, it's a bit tricky ... like saying "Turing Machines are going to be able to do everything, but we'll need quite a few conceptual breakthroughs." Hard to say what percent of progress we've made since 1936 toward artificial general intelligence (whatever that means).
You can feed FlightAware and FlightRadar24 and ADS-B Exchange all at the same time.
Yes but they're few (source: 5 kids, 1 district).

The worst example I can think of is one teacher who's poor judgment resulted in decisions that were indistinguishable from abuse.
Origin of kindergarten is in German 5 years old being alone whole day on the streets while both parents work 12 hours a day in factory. Or while moms worked as nannies for someone else. That was whole day job too, meaning there are two kids not having attention of parents.

The 10 years old kids who also used to work in factories were not "raised" by any contemporary meaning of word.

Back to small villages and families with many kids, all adults had to work very hard to just create necessities for everyone. Once the kids were past toddler plus a bit stage, adults simply could not tweak them individually people do with kids now.

Aristocratic kids were routinely sent to boarding schools.

I could continue on and on as I go through time periods, but kids spent a lot of time literally raising themselves. They also died a lot and were beaten a lot.

> we put so much less effort [...] See how many people are baffled by what to do when they actually have to be around their kids for most of the day because of the pandemic.

This is definitely not true. And yeah, I found out during pandemic that school teacher is significantly better teacher then me. Triple so while I cant send the kid just outside to play alone as was completely normal generations ago (with exception of isolated periods).

Not soft power. Military/political/financial power ( pax americana ). NZ is part of the vassal/ally network we have all around the world.

The US has tons of soft power in china, russia, etc, but no real influence in either because we have no political/military dominion over them. At least not yet.

Canada is a prime example. Canada has "soft power" in china but still their "citizens/spies" are arrested and they have to beg the US/EU to help free their "citizens/spies" in china. And for all the mocking of Trump that canada loves to do, when trump cracks the whip and tells them to arrest a chinese executive, they do it. It wasn't Trump's "soft power" that made canada jump, that's for sure. It isn't trump's "soft power" that make sweden, britain, etc side with him over china either.

Neither pax americana, pax romana, pax mongolica, etc were built around soft power. Actually the dependence on "soft power" probably signaled the end of pax romana, pax mongolica, etc.
