You don't need a satellite to know that it's 90%+ China/India. Nothing will be done.
They generally are ahead of the USA in most areas of medicine on average, whereas the USA probably has peak research and medical capabilities IF you have the money to pay for it like when Trump had the disease.
What? This is totally a thing in Chinese, and at least mentioned in primary school/ middle school.

This is real world data (more relevant than any study) from Victoria where a mandatory mask mandate for anyone outside their home was abruptly introduced, it's the orange and red stripes toward then end of July. You can can see a very clear reduction with the reproduction rate of the virus shortly after the mandate was introduced. The full effect of masks is probably greater than shown because we were in lockdown at the time, so not a lot of people on public transport.

They certainly aren't a magic barrier, but they do help.
Doing that would mean acting in bad faith (obviously) but also breaking WTO Rules, i.e. international law, which can come with a big price tag if your caught (potentially unlikely in such a scenario and depends on the WTO being accepted by the US, which is also not very likely). That is on top of being sued by Boeing in Court for wrongfully denying the recertification. So I'm not sure whether that would really be a consideration.
I live in a former communist country... holy fuck is that hard to explain to some people. Back then, everybody was poor, and some party members were less poor. Now, everybody has a lot more compared to then, but because someone else has even more than that (huge house, a bmw,...), they blame capitalism. They literally stood in line to buy cabbages, and now they complain that strawberries are expensive (in december!).

Only thing worse ae the pensioners, who complain that there's "too much choice" in the stores... how they used to have one chocolate (which didn't have enough cocoa to actually be a chocolate), and now theres 3/4 of an aisle of just chocolates... the chocolate they used to buy is still there, but it's shitty compared to other stuff, then they buy a milka and complain that Lindt is too expensive...

I was about to ask if TiltBrush relied on this. Thanks for confirming. It's hard to buy anything made by Google that hasn't been around for close to a decade, unless you don't care whether or not that product stays around.
The DC-10 recovered. It was grounded, returned to service, crashed again. Eventually, it became safe. And eventually the public forgot about the issues.

The bigger problem is that you have a company that decided that a single sensor driving a safety-critical system was sufficient, even though they have two (and even that is not enough, such systems should have three).

For a new system that was introduced and not explained to pilots, because that was the goal. It even made the "AOA disagree" warning _an optional feature_. Or, more specifically, it made the AOA indicator an optional feature, and the AOA disagree feature was tied to that. They knew about it, but didn't inform anyone. Including the FAA.

So now we trust that same company to make the plane safe. Why?
Well, not just countries but whole industries/sectors are going to collapse. It's not like we're going to retrain an oil driller to be software engineer.

Yes, the ecological benefits shine. But we need to prepare for the sociopolitical and socioeconomic fallout. Given how prepared we've (not) been for addressing climate change, it's difficult to imagine we'll be prepared for the unintended consequences of renewables. What leader or elected official is going to be that messenger?
These categories originate from Chinese. Specifically these are a subset of the 六书 which are not taught generally in the Chinese educational system (but are common enough that most people will have heard of some of these categories), but will be taught at any undergraduate level Classical Chinese course at a Chinese university (which is basically a prerequisite for a lot of literature/history-based degrees).

OT - due to a desktop failure I recently handed my MacBook over to my wife and took my PBP off the shelf. The default OS is now Manjaro. And it’s great! The original default (Debian) was pretty janky. If you’re like me and relegated yours to occasional toy duties, spend an hour and get it upgraded. It’s a whole new experience.

Edit: on topic - the community support is generally quite good. I got great forum and Twitter response. I do think that the retail option will provide some incentive to polish up the product a bit. Can’t imagine giving one of these to my mom yet.

Using lithium ion batteries, that solar would cost $81-$140/MWh, which is pretty much the same price as coal (compare the final slide to the first slide):

https://www.lazard.com/perspective/lcoe2020

But batteries get cheaper every year, so check back in 2021 for even cheaper prices. Most observers expect lithium ion storage to be cheaper than natural gas within a decade. And when you amortize the nighttime storage costs with the cheap daytime solar, natural gas is barely holding on in some markets. If we had a carbon tax that came close to internalizing the externalities, I don't think NG would be running for much longer.
So SF salaries went down I presume?
That only applies if those particular numbers are somehow significant. The chance of picking last week's numbers are the same as picking any other combination.

Especially when you have so many antiscience/luddites/antivaxxers in the USA. We will probably need at least 70% of the population to get the vaccine if it's really 95% successful before we can start going back to normal. That's going to be a hard thing to do before the end of 2021.
Correct. Flight 427 to Pittsburgh. My wife’s father was on the flight.

How do you find a provider? Feel like sharing who you used and some details?
Years back, I use to cover Europe and had taken Latin at University. Was use to stumbling through a language as there were enough common roots that I could parse enough words to sort of make sense of things. Got a work project in Tokyo and jumped at the chance. I picked up a cheap translation book and attempted to order some sort of rice bowl with meat and a beer evening after evening on my first few trips out there. Every time, I got ... something. Never what I was actually thinking it was. It was very odd to not understand any written or spoken word. Folks were very kind but it was so very odd to not understand more than a few common phrases.

This was also a point in time where our shop started insisting on receipts for travel expenses. I always got something that had a number on it, but lord knows what it actually said. Was rather a snarky moment when I handed over the stack of receipts all in Japanese.

I really miss the travel...
Yes. Taking a 10-15 year timeframe from Boeing publicly signalling intention in 2011 that would mean the new aircraft would have gone to market in early to mid 2020s.

Perhaps no one in sufficient interests in Boeing read Irrational Exuberance [1] which covered in a decent amount of detail about downturns +/- 2 years of every decade, always the same root cause if different symptoms. Or perhaps they did but were 'maximising shareholder value' (with a 3 month window on the share price) and didn't care - "this time it's different" after all.

Where do you live that you pay $0.03/kWh?
If they are independent, then there should be a log-probability of it not happening per year though, right?
Like, if the chance for each year is the same and they are independent, then the log of the probability that it doesn’t happen in a given year,
If you multiply that that by the number of years, that will give the log of the probability that it doesn’t happen in any of the years.
This seems like it could serve many of the purposes that people are intuitively looking for when they think of “probability per year”. And if the different years aren’t independent, uh, maybe some terms could be added to adjust for that?
I think the point they are making (and you are proving) is that freedom of expression/speech/discussion as a value (not a law) is being diminished.
I’m also an immigrant.

It is true that the workers of rich countries are “bribed” with less exploitation to pit them against those in or from poor countries. But even their condition can be improved, so it’s possible to build solidarity. I’ve seen it myself.

Ultimately, all value is created by workers and that is where profits are extracted from. If we can foster solidarity with one another, we can force bosses to keep less of our labour as profits.

It’s individualism that is foolish, since it lets the bosses divide us. Collective action is much more effective.
China's social credit system is highly exaggerated, and not far too different from what already exists in most Western nations. People get fired here for the slightest social mistakes, right? On top of not being able to buy all sorts of things if they don't have enough credit.

As for the first question, it's not a problem for China specifically because their leaders seem competent. But more generally the problem of power transfer in case of poor results probably has lots of different solutions that haven't been tried in the past, especially now that we have more technology available. One interesting thing China does is have lots of surveys about local policies, which seems to me like something easier and more practical to have now that everyone is online.

In any case, that question is not too different of a problem than what to do when the government in a decentralized democracy such as ours has been taken over by all sorts of interests that are not aligned at all with the population's interests.

Decentralized systems like the one we have are very hard to fix incrementally precisely because they're optimized for stability in the face of constant growth, and we've reached a point of no growth, so the stability starts working against it as it makes the necessary changes harder to enact (since it's very decentralized). Like it or not, the most logical solution for this is more centralization of power. And this will likely happen in the coming decades. It's better that it happens willingly than unwillingly.

Who cares in the broader scheme of things? The toll it's taken on the economy is in the trillions, 10 billion to speed it up is literally almost nothing compared to that.

I would recommended just using the Nand2Tetris book Elements of Computing Systems and implement the computer on an FPGA. I went through the course using the original project’s simulation tools, and I am now circling back and implementing the Hack CPU on a Xilinx FPGA using VHDL.

Slack records a device id when you log in -- have you noticed that you get a notification saying that you've logged in from that device? And a lawyer won't care that it's your personal device. They'll want to see it because it shows up in an audit log from your employer. They'll want to check: have you saved any work content? Have you copy/pasted work messages elsewhere? Just about anything is fair game once the device is identified.
There might be some error in the randomization process that caused consecutive balls to be drawn.

HMS Sound Detection, a Brand-New and Easy-to-Use Security Paradigm
I find using an FPGA for this an ideal middle point. Building a functional computer from discrete components is fun but the result may not be worth the effort, to be honest. At the other extreme, modeling it in software may leave a weird feeling of not having achieved anything. With an FPGA, on the other hand, you can create something of a usable computer, even one you could run Linux on.
Zero-Sum Thinking
Not at all excusing what’s happened, but if Boeing and Airbus disappear, who’ll create the new jumbo jets? You can’t just kill a company like that. You can fine the living daylights out of them, sure, but don’t kill them.
It would be nice if an article complaining about not following the science would give some science to back up its central claim that the things it complains about have actually killed people. The article offers no evidence at all that rates of infection or death from COVID-19 were affected by any of the things it talks about.
I haven't used Tilt Brush enough, but does this mean that Tilt Brush also dead or are there other export options?
I spent about 2 months researching tents because I wanted to start camping with my daughter. I had a strict set of requirements and I didn't want to bite the bullet til I was sure I'd gotten the right one.

My dad asked my wife what to get me for a birthday present. She knew I was tent shopping so he got me one. I don't want to sound ungrateful because it was a lovely gesture, but I also could have just picked the first one on Amazon that looked good. I didn't do that because I wanted a specific thing.

I don't want to return the tent because it's a present, I don't have space to store 2 tents and I don't want to use the one he got because it doesn't have any of the features I wanted in a tent.

Anyway, now I don't tell anybody when I'm planning on buying something like that.

These concerns are unlikely to surface in ways that are important enough to overcome the advantages of automated long-haul trucking.

Network coverage? On most big interstates it's perfectly fine, even through mountain ranges, and it's known in advance which highways don't have it. But even then, you can just use satellite systems such as Starlink as a backup.

Questionable economics for keeping people on-call? No, it's quite economic, because one on-call person can provide coverage for a wide area.

Criminals? This is an unserious idea that's always brought up in these discussions. Why not break into containers at ports? Why not break into dry vans stored at the back of warehouses overnight? If the idea is just that criminals will break into unattended cargo vans, there are manifold opportunities to do this already, and the small amounts of property crime isn't a serious issue.

Anyway, it's covered by insurance.

Conversely, the advantages are numerous:
* Much faster cross-country freight. No sleeping, no work-rules, no need for team drivers.
* A safety profile that may even be better (no falling asleep).
* Lower costs.
* Better availability. At times, it is very difficult to schedule a truck to arrive, depending on how tight the market is. It's easier to flex equipment availability up and down than truckers.

Many large shippers will see this as an important area to focus on and money is being poured into this today.

Which is why REST APIs should just accept that the only two error codes that matter are 400 Your Fault and 500 My Fault. Too much ambiguity when you try to shoehorn meaning into responses like 401 and 404.
"PHP from a local script does math just fine"

I suspect they meant the kind of heavy math that the PHP 8.x JIT is trying to improve performance for.
> Maybe they should have bit the bullet and fully redesigned the 737

That's EXACTLY what they didn't want to do.

Airbus was able to do the 320Neo without a redesign. They essentially slapped new engines on it and made tiny adjustments. Boom, fuel savings.

Boeing wanted to do the same. Their design didn't accommodate the bigger, more efficient engines they wanted. So they created a workaround.

Redesigning essentially means creating an entirely new aircraft, even if it looks similar. Requires a new type certification, which is a very lengthy process in itself. Requires pilot training for the new type rating. Possibly new simulators, and simulator time. Not all airlines even own simulators.

Airlines like Southwest use all 737s exactly because that makes pilots interchangeable(simplifies logistics and maintenance too, but mostly it's about pilots).

If I'm an airline and now you tell me my pilots need training, including expensive simulators, it's no longer the same aircraft(as in, not the same type rating). If it is not the same aircraft, that means I could choose any other aircraft. Such as these new Airbus models I've been hearing about...

See the problem? MCAS wasn't such a bad solution on paper, it's just that the implementation sucked. It should have required some minimal training (which is much better than a new type rating) but Boeing didn't even want that.
Gack. How did you wade far enough into that pretentious twaddle to find that quote?
One major criticism of Firefox having its own roots was that it made life harder for rolling out custom roots in a corporate setting. You couldn't just use the OS provided means to distribute these roots, you had to use a Firefox specific way to add them. I guess this has similar implications for Chrome as well...

Overall I'm in favour of this change though. Especially on Linux, distros haven't really proven to be good guardians of the root store. See the cons section in the rustls-native-certs readme: https://github.com/ctz/rustls-native-certs#should-i-use-this...
It will be like any other country in the world. We should hardly feel sorry that they’ll no longer be ridiculously pampered and looked after by an underclass of mistreated immigrants. They have enormous opportunities, both in other available resources and in a capital overhang, to make their way.
I've heard widely varying things about different individual unions. But I think this is true of any power structure: whenever power is acquired, it can be abused by the few - be they politicians or CEOs or union leaders - or it can be held onto by the many and used for the general improvement of circumstances. There's always the risk of corruption. But speaking very broadly, the higher the number of different powerful parties competing with each other, the better.

In literal terms: I'd tend to think having union fat cats arguing with corporate fat cats is better than having only corporate fat cats, who are free to do whatever they please.

This is a bit of an urban myth that keeps flying around. The plane is perfectly stable without MCAS, but would have had different handling characteristics than the previous version. The purpose of MCAS was to modify the handling to match the previous plane, so pilots' type ratings would carry over with minimal retraining.
At its heart, it was a (poorly implemented) kludge in an attempt to sidestep a lot of paperwork.
