To be honest with you, I'm quite amused by our exchange because you obviously enjoy programing a lot and so seems to have difficulty even fathoming that someone could just dislike the craft which is the point I am trying to make.

I don't doubt you get a lot better with experience. I was working with a lot of fourth and fifth something engineers and learnt a lot from most of them. The fact remains. I don't find programming or debugging infuriating. I find it mostly uninteresting, dull, devoid of joy and dispiriting.

My very first paid job as an intern during my engineering degree was working on a static analyzer written in Ocaml. There was very little bug. I didn't enjoy it at all. At the time, I thought it was because of the context and that I had to keep at it. It never became better.
Why is it concerning? Is someone gonna get hurt?
> As well as two demonstrations that the aircraft meets the design specification that even a catastrophic failure in the worst stage of flight is easily recoverable.

But in that type of failure, you can't control where the pieces go.

If anyone else is wondering what ZIMMR means in this context, it is a specific feature of the Denver airport: https://ja.flightaware.com/resources/airport/DEN/DP/ZIMMR+TW...
do cigarette lighter makers, (the gas ones) WD-40, pressurised hairspray, kerosine (for cleaning) or even wall-wart chargers do this?

you've identified a risk. Its not actually different to a lot of other consumer risks. Maybe there is a vicarious liability to the original vendor, but I bet that dell battery had warning signs on it, the IBM ones I'm sitting on, definitely have yellow hazard markings and disposal information and the paper I got on delivery (and throw away unread) probably told me about a risk which I ignored. Kinda (I am saying) like you.

You were told about this. Its been a "thing" long enough, there are signs in airports about packing Lithium batteries.

Its a "thing" long enough that the 787 battery fire is a "thing"

"I hung onto a potentially explosive battery long enough, it actually caught fire, despite having been told it, when I got it" isn't a good basis for an insurance obligation if you ask me.
I had read it before, and I skimmed it again just now. I think this is just Feser redefining cause so that its meaning is so broad as to have practically no content, and to make the claim that everything must have a cause trivially correct. The cause for the decay of the atom is now whatever made the atom, or inherent in the atom’s existence or nature.

This does nothing to change my description of the decay event as being an uncaused event, for more interesting notions of “cause”. And I believe that it does throw a wrench into the argument for the necessity of a first cause. In short, what Feser lacks in brevity he fails to make up for in persuasiveness.
It was pandas, unfortunately. R had the stats/ML crowd for a long time, and data frames are super hard to abandon. Python had a library for them, and was perceived as being simple so it won.

R still has most of the tribal knowledge about stats/modelling though, so many really good DS's end up having to learn python to communicate with software engineers.

Biodegrading plastic releases CO2, landfill-buried plastic does not.

Apart from that, what problem are you trying to solve with this innovation?
Probably for the best, but I'm not sure what it means. I would think Utah would be unusually difficult to get alcohol, since (most) kids couldn't just raid their parents' liquor cabinets. Not sure how Utah's rather unique culture would affect availability of LSD.
That's not correct, plenty of countries don't have space for landfill and instead burn off trash in incinerators.
This is the low cost version of the ARM program that funding was chosen for. It is kind of marginal because there are literally only 3 near earth asteroids with little enough spin that this design would work.

As an aside, one of my favorite phrases to use when making fun of someone's idea is 'all-surpassing patience.' I've forgotten where I've first read that phrase.

When I saw the the headline I immediately remember that I read this when I was in high school (2002-5) and that the phrase came from here. Thank you for making me remember again.

Point taken that some people had mistaken ideas about twin-engine airplanes, but those mistakes are most straightforwardly resolved by the redundancy consideration alone, which dominates other issues.

> If they needed to go faster, they could do that with a single larger engine if they wanted to (which they may have to develop.)

Plus a significantly different airframe and perhaps engine intakes to deal with the transonic issue that I also mentioned. It is an idea that bubbles up perennially [1], but so far, the economics have ensured that it doesn't go much beyond the concept stage.

This has become rather silly, but it seques into a related issue: It seems to me that fan-blade failure incidents (or at least uncontained fan-blade failure incidents) have increased in frequency in the last few years. If so, maybe this is a sign that we are already pushing a bit too hard on the limits of current technology?

Deferring the problem. Roads get dug up and relaid, roads get abandoned, maybe a few years down the line, we won't be using roads. Mentally insert "Back to the Future 2" clip here. And so a few decades later, we return to the problem.

Sufficiently small non-charged blackholes would have minimal interaction cross sections with any matter. If such a thing was made with an accelerator, it as well as any material it interacted with would likely fly through the planet and out into interstellar space. Even managing to detect that it had been created would be a substantial challenge.
From a quick scan of just the first half, it looks to me like libzstd1 might be the most deserving of help. But I could see libreoffice there.
That's a pretty terrible argument. First of all 'believe' can not be measured, and the argument that Nixon believed more in government then Obama is more then questionable.

In fact it was Nixon who totally fucked up the manned space program, so your analysis makes no sense in that aspect.

It seems you are not addressing NASA or know much about it, you are just trotting out your hobby horse.

> The US right now is in the position of the barbarian tribes squatting in the former Roman Empire.

Another terrible argument.

> Using the infrastructure build before them, wearing togas and pretending to be Romans, constantly sniping each other over who is more virtuous, while everything rots and falls apart,

As somebody who a deep interest in roman history, it is incredibly clear that you have not studied, and just repeat boring old cliches that every single modern scholar of the roman empire would laugh at.

Everything has the potential to end up in the environment, so we have to consider the full cycle of the product. I think you might underestimate how much LEGO ends up in the bin.
That's good to hear. I always hate when they take a classic movie and remake it with an all female cast. Glad this won't just be a remake of apollo staring amy schumer.
Look into wool. Expensive, but super comfy and likely not bleached. Given the higher price some of the brands make it a point to detail the environmental and animal welfare impact.
As the page header suggests, this is the work of Steven Soderbergh. He went through a phase of doing several exercises along these lines and posting them to his blog. Intercutting the original Psycho with its remake. Recutting the famous flop Heaven's Gate entirely. He also recut 2001, but took it down at the request of the Kubrick estate.

Yes, the universe will ultimately end, but there is no reason to believe that travel beyond our solar system is impossible.

We have the technology to do it now, but it would be a suicide mission.
That isn't completely true. We don't know exactly, but the documented time between overhaul and the life of the airframe place upper bounds on those.

Some cheap airlines might ignore those rules, but none in the US. (Only the poorest, most corrup, countires in the world will ignore those limits)
> Good luck to you.

Not necessary. I'm living the dream, right now. I worked for many years, to get to where I am now.

The fact that I'm not valued, simply as a function of my age (I'm 58, BTW), is annoying; a bit hurtful, but not crippling, at all.

As a matter of fact (not theory -fact), I'm more productive that I've ever been in my life, I learn more quickly, and more holistically, than I ever have, I use tools more effectively than I ever have, and I am enjoying what I do, more than I ever have.

There's the most positive thing that ol' Freddy once said: "That which does not kill me, makes me stronger."

I had to go through the rejection and humiliation to reinforce and realize my own sense of confidence and self-reliance.

I can tell you that the folks I'm working with right now, are basically pinching themselves.
I'm curious to see what happens. Compared to twitter most free "speech platforms" that have existed end up just being extremist McDonald's without much else.

I really don't think most people are shopping for "other" ideas, and they're not concerned with free speech... just hearing their own ideas echoed back. Free speech for most folks only comes up when they don't hear an echo, or even just enough of an echo.

The level of tolerance for even just hearing other ideas seems ultra low these days.

I've lived on the west coast my whole life, so I don't know much about other types of cities. Suffice it to say, all the major cities on the west coast have a lot of empathy for the downtrodden, such as the homeless and drug-addicted and they don't want to treat people who have such problems as criminals. But you could argue that they've gone too far with empathy. You should look up this documentary "Seattle Is Dying" by a local Seattle news station (KOMO4). They've actually done 2 parts to it, several years apart. Really shows you what's going on the west coast and how excessive compassion can have unintended consequences.
Myself, lean left of center politically, but it's become very clear to me that liberal policies are just not working for the cities along the west coast (Seattle, Portland, SF, LA, etc). Now, this article talks about NYC, which is on the other side of the country. And we all know that Chicago, quite possibly the democrat-affiliated major city, has been infamous for its crime and corruption since the times of Al Capone. So it seems to me that there is a pattern of very left-leaning cities creating policies that come from a good place but end up having disastrous consequences.
The right engine was out and the pilot chose to do a left turn. Is the choice related?
Here's something to keep in mind that isn't super clear to newcomers, Linux != Debian. Linus Torvalds doesn't use Debian and nothing Debian does really impacts him or the core of Linux. Debian is just a highly opinionated take on Linux. You can totally dive in and be super productive with Linux without ever having to know about, use or, or care that Debian exists. (oh and Homebrew works great on Linux, give it a shot as it's a really easy way to move over from OSX).

Regarding the Debian package process, etc.--I'll be blunt and say that all of the pain you see is by design. It's not designed to be a super inclusive or friendly community for contributions. There are explicit gatekeeping checks in place to ensure everyone follows "the Debian way" (nevermind that there is no clear definition of "the Debian way" that anyone agrees on and it's only used to enforce power hierarchies in the project). It comes from an even older gatekeeping around "the Unix way". IMHO ignore all that rubbish.
That article spends its whole time talking about whether you can transfer the rights. From your source, for example:

You may copy, store, and burn iTunes Plus Products as reasonably necessary for personal, noncommercial use.

All of the agreements cited are pretty clear that you can copy and store the bytes for your own use.

I agree with the thrust that "purchasing" music is certainly weirder with these overreaching legal agreements (and I think it's more fraught when it comes to video or video games), but I disagree with the perspective that:

A) That this is a lease of the music

B) That that condition is justified because you didn't create an exclusive commission.

It seemed to me that, legality aside (and forgive me if I'm misunderstanding), you were asserting that customers have no business expecting indefinite access to an MP3 they paid for, and I... disagree, but if the recording industry wants that to be the case, they're welcome to yet another scenario where pirates have a better customer experience than paying customers.

Blech, an edit:
What I have seen that applied to is subscription-based music, where the license agreement around whether that song is available for subscription changes. Is there an example of this happening to a "purchased "song or album? I've never seen an effort by a publisher to reclaim hard-drive-bound songs that have been paid for (and I imagine spicy legal cases about expecting refunds).

Edit again: I realize I'm sort of meandering. My point is only that it's not unreasonable to expect that, I agree that licensing agreements for digital purchases of all kinds have surprising details about what you actually "own".
Maybe I am just cynical, but I don't believe we will stop polluting the oceans in my life time, so remediation technology is a necessary place to focus.

This is the most important concept of investing. You should never place an amount you wouldn’t be ok losing. If losing every cent of an investment could cause financial ruin, you’re investing too much.
If anyone is curious about what the books say, US Air Traffic Controllers use phraseology prescribed by FAA General Order 7110.65.

Also known as the 7110 or the point sixty-five, it includes rules that Air Traffic Controllers must follow to ensure safe and effective operations. So if you're a pilot and are wondering why you have a Hold For Release or are told "unable", you might find the reason in this document.

To understand California today requires psychedelics.
So here's just my understanding using basic physics: That kind of gravitational pull can't come from nowhere.

If you start from the smallest theoretically possible black hole of about 22 micrograms, it should have the gravitational pull of just that - 22 micrograms. Suppose it doesn't just immediately disappear, it won't even have gravitational pull to move a feather next to it.

You could probably even start wadding the feather at it and it wouldn't do much to it, because I don't think that's enough force to even break it apart. If you put a grain of sand on a table you don't expect the gravitation of that grain of sand to break the table apart either.

Maybe it'll manage to take in some surrounding air? But in that case you'd have all the time in the world to build a vacuum chamber around it - if you're worried. Likely the black hole would need to be extremely lucky for any (air) molecule to come close enough that it can pull it in, since it'll be a tiny thing in a sea of mostly nothing.

In any case, I suppose that in reality the black hole would just dissipate quicker than it could take in mass - because black holes need a lot of new mass to keep going considering the amount of energy/mass they spit out. And only black holes made from a lot of matter (i.e. stars) appear to have the gravitational pull to feed themselves and stay alive, since that's all we can observe in nature.

Anyways, that's just using a lot of basic physics that maybe don't even apply to black holes in that way.
Indeed, for a 25-year-old airframe with the utilization it would have at a major carrier like United there's basically no way the engines hanging on it now could be the same engines it was delivered with.
I'd be interested to see the data on this, because I suspect occasional use (i.e. less than once every 2 weeks to one month) is not as damaging, if at all.

Occasional use is very different from the "wake and bake" style of using marijuana every hour or so. I fell into the former category, as did some friends of mine, but I knew many who were in the latter. The differences a few years on are quite profound.

I agree that there are always people whining, no matter which solution you might suggest (unfortunately). However, I'm invested in three companies that build electric trucks, and there are more and more renewables on the grid. Multiple companies are tackling the problem of energy storage as well. Change is happening.
> That said, return to classrooms has worked well in just about every other country, even during their lockdowns.

Those other countries have much lower community spread, public health care, and mask mandates that are actually enforceable. It's not a comparable situation.
Any tips for using anki?
Just anecdotal on my part.

I always thought the brain looked like it evolved by basically adding a new layer atop the other. The primitive ones are highly refined by evolution and do their jobs well (breathing, etc), but the higher level ones do more complex tasks, but need "interrupt" mechanisms on the lower ones.

The youngest layer that gives us consciousness has to contend with emotions, the subconscious, instincts, hormonal regulation, reflexes, and heartbeat/breathing rhythyms that all exist for very very very good reasons evolutionarily.

So our brain is basically being run, motivated, and directed by animal-level evolutionary structures a huge amount of the time, and the ability of the "human" part depends on it's horsepower in the various talents like EQ, IQ, "wisdom", and self-restraint.

I believe self-restraint has been correlated with intelligence.

I guess other evidence would be various studies that the human brain is still maturing into your 20s.

SpaceX is neither the first nor the last entity to build reusable rockets. It's the most successful one, by far, but now that's it's shown to be commercially doable every launch provider on the planet has a roadmap to (partial) reusability. It's going to be a very crowded space.

Yes plz. I'd be very interested to read about this (long time Debian user, but never packaged anything).

I know there is an install, postinstall, and remove scripts but don't have a clear idea of when exactly they will get called and what "interface" they must implement.

It would be really helpful to have a "package lifecycle" state diagram like this https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/instance.html#Lifecycle-Diagram that shows all the states and events that "fire" based on .deb scripts and metadata.
I had no idea about this. Thanks, I will try it out.
It is more.direct than it sounds though because the earth is round and so the shortest distance between two points curves.
I'm not sure what that proves? I wouldn't do any job that puts me near more than a handful of people without a vaccine.
As a nuclear engineering manager, I sometimes ask in interviews what far-out physics development would be most impactful for nuclear power. My personal answer would be to be able to select which fission products emerge from all fissions. If you could control this (with some kind of crazy laser in a cryogenic environment, or something), you could choose one several minute half-life delayed neutron precursor that makes the reactor easily controllable and something else that decays within minutes to another stable nuclide. That could alleviate radiological hazards nicely, especially if you could avoid creating minor actinides as well to avoid the long-lived nuclear waste source term.

This development here makes me wish even harder.

Still, physicists have told me to dream on.
