Boeing just didn’t care about them. The risk of having to re-certify pilots was considered greater than the risk to the passenger’s lives, at least from Boeing’s perspective.
> Equating slavery with forced labour belittles the gravity and awfulness of what actual slavery is (or was).

It makes no difference, both are the same in being the most exemplary form of class warfare, and are equally terrible.

Trying to draw a line in between them is a very petty attempt to claim that one is somehow less worse, or even somehow more legitimate than other.
No one who thinks video games are to blame for violence is going to be convinced by a study of any length. People form their beliefs on COVID, vaccines, video games, and anything else in an irrational way. We need to pierce information silo's and echo chambers so these studies actually affect the ignorant who feel they are right with bad evidence and their misfounded opinions.
Immunity is not binary. Introducing the spike protien to our immune systems now will prime us for a stronger fight later, even if we are not fully immune.
The only dupes at this point are the useful idiots who still support WikiLeaks. It has long since passed from being anything useful into being an cult of personality built around Assange.

A library is not a DSL, despite what the learned authors may claim. In fact, there are a couple of examples of "successful" DSLs in the data world - you could argue that Talend and DBT are visual programming tools for ETL pipelines. Defintely Zapier- which is just for integrating services that have well-defined REST APIs.
I do not think addiction cam be classified as a disease state. Rather, addiction is a set of maladaptive learned behaviors which may be found in conjunction with other neuronal dysfunction and viewing it as such should aid in effective treatment.

It’s funny to see the old media panic over Substack. Authors can go directly to their audience without their intermediation and institutional decrepitude, it must be dangerous.

Don’t they have another piece to write about how Trump is a crazy dictator?
I guess at that point you just need to start doing it. I have a lot of outdoorsy types in my family and we've been doing long, multi-day backpacking trips most summers since 1998. On my first trip I bought a cheap sleeping bag, pad, and backpack and relied on the more experienced people in the group for everything else. The shoes I wore were terrible and by the time we got back to the car on the end of the 4th day I could barely walk my feet were so blistered. For the next summer I saved up and bought a really nice pair of boots which I still have. They're the most expensive footwear I've purchased in my life and worth every penny.

I can't recommend enough finding a group of experienced people to start with. You'll make plenty of mistakes and they'll help keep it from turning into a catastrophe. You'll pick up a lot from them while also figuring out what does/doesn't work for you. Probably five years after starting backpacking with my family I was the 'experienced one' leading a group of friends on a hike through the Smokey Mountains on the Appalachian Trail.
Yeah, a common general-purpose solution for this is to just put hotspots over all the non-speech-bubble text that you mouse over (or tap) to reveal localized text for. It really sucks, but there's no obvious general solution since the size gap between japanese and english text can be huge. Naturally, those hotspots aren't an option in print or pdf editions...

Why the downvotes? Too close to the truth?
Fred Brooks suggests in 1986 that future productivity improvements focus more on:

>Exploiting the mass market to avoid constructing
what can be bought

In 2020 danluu says that:

>In 1986, there would have been no comparable language, but more importantly, I wouldn't have been able to trivially find, download, and compile the appropriate libraries and would've had to write all of the parsing code by hand, turning a task that took a few minutes into a task that I'd be lucky to get done in an hour.

IME this demonstrates remarkable prescience by Brooks. The only real difference between Brooks' hypothetical future where software is assembled from bought components and the one danluu lives in is that the components are, in this case, free.

Package managers might seem obvious and necessary today, but I don't think they were at all obvious in 1986 (or even in 1996). Fuck, golang didn't even think they were necessary in 2009.

Also:

>Looking at the specifics with the benefit of hindsight, we can see that Brooks' 1986 claim that we've basically captured all the productivity gains

I don't believe that this was his claim. He claimed that productivity gains from improved programming language design would be incremental rather than game changing (hence: no silver bullet).

Some people probably will argue that there is a 10x difference in language productivity due to language but I don't think that is the case. In fact, I think there's a class of people who keep getting proved wrong and wrong again about the relative importance of package management ecosystems over "game changing" language features like non nullable types that are incrementally better, but not an order of magnitude better.
I have a PowerMac G4 1.25 DP that boots Mac OS 9.2.2 natively from an SSD (using a SATA to PATA converter board.)

It absolutely screams (Photoshop 5.5 cold launches in about 1.5 seconds), and I'm not sure how much of this is pure nostalgia, but the look and feel of classic Platinum Mac OS is friendly in a way that's really hard to describe.

Of course this machine is only useful for opening all my old documents from the '90s, but I plan on keeping it in a working state for many years to come, if for no other reason than to let the nerds of the future get a taste of what computing was like before the internet destroyed everything.
> in reality the industry is deeply dependent on alcoholics.

What business wouldn't adapt to the fact that their customers' purchases follow a Pareto distribution? Many (most?) do. I'm not saying that they're not shady, but this isn't evidence of that.
Economic data may predict antimicrobial resistance levels in different countries
In practice it's likely that we'll do both. That is, all the doses will be used, and none reserved, as they arrive according to a priority schedule (ICU staff, care home staff, care home residents first, etc).

Then when it's time for the second dose, the high priority targets will get their second dose immediately as new doses arrive while lower priority targets may have their second dose delayed as a first dose is given to those even further down the priority list.

The result being that those at highest risk get the double dose ASAP while the twenty year olds get their first dose at the expense of the forty year olds having to wait a little longer for their second dose. This is because even a first dose while not fully protective is protective against serious covid-19 outcomes which is a big deal in itself.

According to this scheme twenty year olds will be getting their second dose sometime in their thirties. :)
Yes.

This is a great question! I think other commenters miss the basic point that mobile is frictionless and can be used anywhere.

I think OP is thinking along the following lines: I’m on the bus / in the loo / waiting for my lunch to heat in the microwave. How can I use these moments to produce creatively? I already have a great tool that I know can deliver content efficiently and accessibly to me in these situations—I use my phone here already. But are there any ways to change my behavior to not flick through another feed, but actually advance my own creative goals?

Successfully being a creative person isn’t a matter of ‘tear it all down and start from scratch.’ It’s important to use the resources that are already available to us!

For my part, I wish it was easier to write long form quickly. Writing this on an iPad keyboard just now sucked—light years less efficient than on my computer keyboard. And my phone is even worse! But I often want to journal in bed or write fiction away from my desk. Are there better ways to input lots of text quickly?
I am a proponent of ESG but (to me at least) it doesn’t appear there is a standardized method of calculation for metrics and things like forced labor (Nike, Apple) or pandering to a govt by censoring (NBA, Google) aren’t being captured. I could be off as I haven’t studied it that much. Everyone can agree what GAAP net income is but calculating ESG metrics is much more subjective.
> Feels like suggesting lowering the speed limit to 55mph because it causes fewer deaths than 65mph.

Actually, the 55mph speed limit was enacted as an energy conservation measure, not as a public safety measure.

Could this vendor beat Firefox and Chromium by disregarding legacy and edge cases? Examples from thin air: parser can be far simpler if it fails on any syntax errors in HTML, CSS and JS; hrow a fit if certain layouts or JS are resource hungry, execute preshipped Spidermonkey bytecode directly instead of parsing JS.
I'm curious if that's true in all countries. UK with its pub culture. Japan with its izakaya culture. Muslim countries where drinking is forbidden
It only applies to criminals and others whose biometrics has been collected by the police. The point of the section of the agreement to which this excerpt is attached is to:

"establish reciprocal cooperation between the competent law enforcement authorities of the United Kingdom [...] and the Member States [...] on the automated transfer of DNA profiles, dactyloscopic data and certain domestic vehicle registration data"

This already happens under existing arrangements between EU Member States, and all this does is continue those mutual arrangements with the UK.
I can tell you, as someone with quite severe ADHD, it affects gaming as well. What I mean is, I can focus just as little when I am playing games and just get distracted by my smartphone. It's been like this as a kid too, the game isn't really that enjoyable when you can't focus and pretty much miss the story.

Medication could have that effect but I experience quite the opposite. It almost makes me feel "bad" that I am playing a game and doing something more productive. That's generally how these meds work, they "stress" you into doing tour work, so you don't do it the day before you have to turn it in.

But I guess it's different for a professional gamer. It maybe doesn't feel unproductive when it's your main source of income.

Another thing is, the H in ADHD stands for hyperactivity. To play a game however, you have to sit still.

I do still play some games, but only those that are non competitive and casual. For example, I really like playing Stardew Valley, it's very calming and because it is open ended, there is no FOMO.
Haha! That's a good one. She heard what she wanted to hear, or she was testing out lying. Kids all test out lying around the pre-school age, some of them find it useful and keep doing it.
”Can not express this data structure"? It can of course, there's not much to express. Go and write a (slow) tensor library yourself in pure Python.

To be fair, there's even a standard library `array` module that is a direct wrapper around C arrays, and NumPy shares some functionality with it (namely in regards to buffers, memoryviews, data type encoding etc).

Edit: there's also a built-in buffer type that supports multi-dimensional strides, suboffsets and all that (which, again both `array` and `numpy` make use of in establishing a standardized buffer api).
That approach is called heterologous prime-boost, and it's likely being tested for the Oxford/AstraZeneca + Pfizer combo and the Oxford/AstraZeneca + Sputnik V combo to try to increase potency (not to increase supply). It's not being tested for the combo of the two mRNA vaccines (Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna) though.

> When the lock-down was in full effect it dawned on me: bitcoin is indeed utterly useless when things go haywire. What's the point of wealth if you can't do anything with it, won't do anything with it, or have no one to share it with.

During his journey home, Bilbo gifts a portion of his treasure to the King of the Wood Elves. This generosity is juxtaposed with Thorin, who

A) Roped his 12 buddies and Bilbo into a speculative venture (with ZERO plan to realistically defeat Smaug),
B) obsessed over the Arkenstone to an unhealthy degree,
C) refused to share the spoils with Lake Town or the Wood Elves, and
D) locked himself away in the mountain.

The moral of Bilbo's gesture was to demonstrate that wealth should be shared. Rather than hoarded in "Erebor, the Lonely Mountain".
It's the issue with using China manufacturing at all, although, even if Apple moved production to the US, chances are they'd still be facing forced labor allegations since they'd still need to get shipments from China for parts that can't be made in the US.
Better question, why was it not written so it could be updated by security experts without requiring new legislation.

I think that even if there are negative consequences, there are just as many benefits of putting kids into the systems with rules and structure to learn and improve.
Even with a 10 year study, there will still be groups/collectives soliciting political posture and donations on the back of fighting all this with the usual "think of the children" trope to push it along.

Simple fact is we have far more evidence to prove the Earth is not flat and yet there are those that still insist in going against all the evidence in the World. This will be no different.
The onigiri/jelly donut thing is not particularly uncommon if you try to shove complex text or dialogue through Google Translate and similar MTL systems, because they are trained heavily on existing text. If the japanese string you plug in is uncommon enough you may get back imageboard slang, text from video game wikis, or racial slurs.
Lobbyists are the ones who are reading and vetting it.

Lawmakers are not and can never be experts in your preferred subject, so they talk to people who are - either by retaining them as bureaucrats, or by asking lobby groups as-needed. I've not seen armies of programmers clamour for the former, so honestly, what on Earth do you want?

This is also true of: (recreational) sports, reading, social interaction, and probably the majority of recreational activities. The entire point is to have fun, because having fun is important.

I would be very cautious about going on a forum called Hacker News to ask strangers for a URL where I put in my credit card number. Or anywhere else, really.
it's not that simple, if it was that simple to build assembly plant operating corporations, everyone would do it, but it's hard business with very low margins. There are a few big companies capable of providing apple with enough manpower/production capabilities. And even though it's a low skill work, workers still has to be trained, and more importantly have to have high work discipline(which could be considered a part of a skill set) Most countries don't have that at least in large enough numbers for companies like apple(and its contractors) to use.

There’s actually a lot of variety in the priority order. Other than healthcare workers the following groups will be prioritized above age 65+ in Massachusetts

2. Nursing home residents

3. Homeless

4. Incarcerated

5. 2+ comorbidities

6. Top priority essential workers

7. Teachers

8. One comorbidity

There is genocide going on against Muslims, and the US would typically denounce religious genocide. The current president seems more concerned with watching Fox and pardoning his friends than handling Muslim rights issues.
> Perhaps in the case of some individuals

Sure, but that’s my problem with this whole thing.

Some idiots and media claimed there was some obvious links to violence and video games to use as reasoning for increased government control... and now the push back is NO NEVER HAPPENS!

But in some people yes, of course it hurts. There are definitely some people who are unstable and seeing hyper-graphic depictions of violent mutilation is not healthy. There are some people in the opposite.

These studies always end with a DEFINITE correlation or lack of. The truth is obviously it’s a scale. And while the result is yes, some people might be negatively effected that doesn’t mean the population at large needs to be “protected” with censorship.

I really hate the black and white of this.

If you have a phone with a pen (e.g., Galaxy Note), sketching is rather fun. FWIW, I use Adobe Sketch, for which I get a license through work.

>When you build a pipeline, it's good for exactly one thing. An LNG pipeline won't do for anything else, not even other types of oil products. But building a railroad on the other hand, that's good for just about anything from transporting bulk grain to truck frames to solid rocket motors.

But doesn't that only make sense if there's going to be demand in the near future? Unused rail lines get abandoned all the time because they have maintenance costs, so it's not like we can build it, stop using it, and then resume using it a few decades later when demand picks up.
So we shouldnt shame the richest company on earth for using slave labor because its about "china"?

If anyone has leverage, its Apple, so actually yes its a way to start fixing the problem.

There's a simple way to keep slave labor out of your supply chain, stop doing business with people who are fine with that, not "performing audits to find out they are using slave labor again so we switched!"
You are correct that American wines are much more likely to be labeled with their varietal, and European wines with their place of origin. However, those places of origin are so closely tied to specific wine styles that it’s really one and the same. Red Burgundy is always going to be Pinot Noir- unless it’s labeled Beaujolais, which is always Gamay. Sure, there are some outliers (white Burgundy is almost always Chardonnay, but there are some bottling a of Aligote and Pinot Blanc) but generally you know what grape/blend you’re going to get from each of these places. New Word winemakers aren’t as tied to tradition (and hundreds of years of trial and error) in what they plant, so you’re more likely to see unusual choices.

Not going to get into terroir other than to say that to reduce it solely to the soil type is the wrong way to look at it. It’s more of a holistic view of the entire growing microclimate, including soil, topography, water table, general climate conditions, etc.

I’m a sommelier and own a wine shop, for what it’s worth.

This submission, on the other hand, is a link to some kind of gaming news website, which links to an abstract for an article in a Cyberpsychology (?) journal which costs $60 to access, and there is widespread and uncritical agreement with its supposed conclusion.

Cyber Collapse in a GPT-3 World
The difference is between companies depending on collectors or aficionados, and companies depending on addicts. Assuming that one doesn’t have issues with firearm ownership in general, then there doesn’t seem to be anything fundamentally wrong with someone collecting a large number of firearms. You might find it odd, but there doesn’t seem to be a social level difference between someone owning a handgun and someone collecting them. (Correct me if someone can show a link between number of guns owned and violence).

There is a major difference between someone averaging a drink every other day or so, and someone having 10 drinks a day. The latter group is unquestionably addicted, with extremely negative personal and social consequences for that addiction.
