TBF, that single mention is just a tangential remark for characterisation; IMO that doesn't count as the article as a whole or in itself being "Trump-related."

It's more like, in any story where they want to point out that the subject is a sleazeball, they say he has "mob connections." That doesn't make it a story about the mafia.

(Yeah, that this was the example that came to mind does say something. More about Trump than about me, I think.)

Sorry I misunderstood.

Yes, those who have Ham radios and don't know the protocols will cause interference because they don't understand how emergency communications occur.

It's a strict protocol called a "Net", used to minimize Errors, which can be life threatening under emergency conditions.

I've seen it happen during minor earthquakes and tsunami alerts, they become a problem, and in no way are contributing to the solution.

Too much Noise, not enough Signal, interferes with emergency communications.

Ham radio isn't a panacea, it's not going to help you unless you know how to use the "tool" properly.

You already needed a corporation just to create a regular, but state of the art general purpose processor. You're not going to do what Intel or Samsung does in your garage. Sure, with something like RISC-V you can design a processor and implement it in an FPGA, but that's going to run a lot slower than a processor that is a full-custom design.

There are some smallish competitors in the AI accelerator space (Groq and Graphcore come to mind) that are trying to innovate architecturally, but I suspect the door is closing for these companies for the reasons you suggest. The ones with some good ideas will likely be bought out by the likes of Google and Microsoft.

Programming may be romantic. After all, much like in the spiritual life, programmers also work towards an ideal. And isn't this working towards an ideal just a love affair? One might claim that programming is logic-intensive compared to the spiritual life and other disciplines like poetry. Ellen Ullman in Close to the Machine: Technophilia and its Discontents writes, "...the computer is... a projection of a very slim part of ourselves: that portion devoted to logic, order, rule, and clarity." Another form of the author's question might then be this: How can you not be romantic about logic, order, rule, and clarity?

I'll have to say your experience is an anecdote and not data. I've met parents that were regretful of having children, but I have meet people who's only regret is they did not have more children than they did.

You may live in an environment where you have a limited set differing world experiences, keep that in mind when making any important decisions.
Ah maybe that's a US specific thing. Business radio licensees here in Europe have access to the same strong encryption that the government use.

I was surprised to learn that Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income was a big Pokemon card nerd and recently came out with a channel about Pokemon Cards. He says he was inspired by marketer Gary Vee, who has apparently been hustling Pokemon Cards for a while now. I think Pokemon Cards are just the "in" thing right now.

Yeah, the great irony here is that recycling is what sends the trash to Asia were it's then tossed in the ocean.

Cash is what you want to be sitting on when discounted opportunities abound. The people that lack cash at such critical times, suffer enormously for that error.

How nice was it to have plentiful cash after the real-estate implosion? They were practically giving homes and condos away in markets like Nevada or Florida, condos that were going for $250,000 during the bubble were being given away for $35k-$50k at the bottom of the implosion and there were few takers, entire buildings were sitting empty in formerly hot markets in Florida.

How nice was it to have a lot of opportunity cash at the ready as the S&P 500 collapsed in late 2008 / early 2009 (or March 2020 for that matter), while everybody else was getting mauled, worried about margin calls, fleeing the market in fear. You wanted to be buying from those people as they were dumping nice assets for $0.25 on the dollar. To do that you needed cash on hand.

The time period after steep asset declines or crashes, is when the majority of investors lack for cash the most, they're always pinned, scared by the hits they took, and can't seize the opportunities that become available; and that's when you make the biggest killing, that's when you take up your greatest potential return positions, not during rah rah times (that's when you cash out your prior opportunistic positioning and build cash, rinse & repeat).

That's not to suggest you should always be holding nothing but cash, that isn't the point. The notion that it never makes sense to hold cash is way off the mark however. At a minimum you want some opportunity cash on hand at nearly all times, and you can increase or decrease how much that is depending on the context of the economy/market/personal/etc.

Good riddance. The comments on that call were disgusting and they all deserved to be sacked. Unfortunately I think the outcome is not going to be any meaningful change for school children, it’ll just be a temporary increased awareness by public officials that digital communications are easy to accidentally leak.
Why site-to-site VPNs and not a single client-to-cloud TLS connection? Real customers that want a site-to-site VPN to the cloud (and are able to set it up), somehow tend to often use hundreds of resources in that cloud, not only your service.
AFAIK, nixos isn't about just rollbacks...Things like ability to declare the state of your system (with all your apps) in a single file and possibility of having two different build of the same program in the system seems very futuristic and productive to me...I mean, this thing frees us from docker/vbox.

I think even the Linux kernel would be a component of NixOS and could be substituted with something else.

The whole idea is just an enterprise-proposal away from getting polished around the edges.

There's also the fact that the more often you look at your portfolio, the less likely you are to see it go up (assuming typical returns and volatility). Something like ~51% if you look at it every hour vs ~70% if you look every month. Taleb uses that example in Fooled by Randomness.

> Can I get a raise of hands for folks who think "Dream Machines" is the #1 book on software? How about for those who believe that Engelbart's Augmenting Human Intellect is a driving force for humanity? And that software is a radical embodiment of that all? I think we can get a modest show of hands; I've seen enough confirming points of view from about. (Would that I have a memex to highlight all the mentions I've seen, all the other endorsements!)

Me, about an hour ago[1], in the "How can you not be romantic about software?" discussion. Amusing to see Doug echoed back on HN so quickly. Small world!

It's in reply to one of the most critical pieces of the thread, to me. The overarching article is somewhat fetishistic, just in to the wizardry of it all, the power, the skill. I was replying specifically to someone promoting the use of personal knowledge systems, to capture everything you are learning, to build a log & indexes. This, really, is the heart of what I find so romantic: this augmentative, compounding nature of software, of informatics. To gain heightened view points, and to make ourselves steersmen[2].

That thread included a shout out to Karli Coss, who has done more than anyone I've seen to draw together all the streams, to gather & create views of his own existence as it forms across the digital[2]. He's brought a wide range of software- from ebook readers to music players to web browsers- into his own domain, to build his extended brain. Karli has augmented his intellect far further than anyone else.

There's a lot of compelling things about software, a lot of ways to have fun. But of the ways to be romantic about programming, Augmenting Human Intellect is the most profound & resounding romantic notions that I have ever encountered. I see so many people engaged in software, but this seems like the core of where almost all real true meaning lives, and we should reshape our focus, abandon so much software, to chase an integrative, augmentative vision of computing in pursuit of this romance. We should be inspired, as Doug was.

I am going to make a counter point, albeit one that I don't like:

Advising kids to lean away from modern life and push back on the progress of distracting technologies will actually be a more anti-social move than not.

What I mean is that to exist and live in the modern world increasingly requires adept skills at managing bespoke technological platforms. To be a social being in the 21st century is largely about navigating these platforms and being 'plugged in'. Disconnect, and you'll miss out on the flow of humanity.

I mention I don't like this because frankly, I miss the idea of small towns with supportive communities that had inherent dependencies on each other. The baker, the butcher, the doctor, the pastor, etc, everyone had a feeling of purpose and a connectivity to their community. Of course this ideological view of society is long gone so there's just no sense trying to push back. Accept that today's child is a highly connected, distracted, techno-proficient being and let that be that.
> For the majority of languages with a `let` keyword, it creates a binding which can’t be reassigned. JS is the only major language I’m aware of that breaks this expectation

The whole BASIC family, including the VB subfamily, also breaks it, though in some (including VB) LET is an optional noise keyword and not required.
Yes. I programmed in Turbo Pascal and (later on) Delphi. I am not unfamiliar with these systems.
WRT the debris video: personally, I would be paying more attention to looking for anything falling in my direction. The debris may flutter like falling paper, but they are much more substantial.
As an European living in Japan, I totally agree with you. And obviously Western countries (including AU and NZ) have much more in common with each other than with Asian/African/whatever countries.

Video – Flight from Denver has serious engine failure
That quoted ground observer. Do they work for the NTSB or something?

I am 110% certain that if I saw a plane on fire in the sky, I would not have the presence of mind to remember the term "cloud deck", let alone the rest of those details.

Ground observer: "Good sir, I do say that the cloud deck was quite low so I didn't get a good look, but the engine was mildly louder than usual, and possibly had smoke, but perhaps not, and appeared to be under control the whole time."

Me, probably: "AAAAAAAAAAAAA PLANE ON FIRE IN THE SKY, RUN!!!"
That's crazy, in the Netherlands today there was another flight that dropped engine parts (much smaller though, they're said to have been turbine blades) that hit cars and people. It was also an airliner (747-400).

Considering how rare an occurrence is, it's really weird to have both happen on the exact same day.

https://www.airlive.net/breaking-turbine-blades-of-a-boeing-...

By the way I'm surprised that fire keeps going on the B772. I assume the fuel was cut off, especially as the turbine seems to be just spinning in the wind. I'd imagine the remaining fuel would burn off quickly?

This would really be scary being a passenger (especially when you know the wing it's hanging under is full of fuel).
My only question is, why were they even allowed to resign? They should have been instantly fired.
No. Bad philosophical writing is vague. Sometimes even good philosophical writing is difficult or murky, because the author is grappling with concepts novel enough that it's hard to find ways to express them. But the best is quite clear. As an example, read Frankfurt's "On Bullshit", which takes an under-examined topic and adds significant clarity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bullshit

And there's definitely a point beyond what you claim. It's that Siskind is intentionally obscure because he's hiding something: low quality arguments leading to disturbing conclusions. And Siskind is quite aware that's he's intentionally hiding what he's up to. He's even admitted it privately: https://twitter.com/ArsonAtDennys/status/1362153191102677001
Sometimes they are. (But that's not what I mean originally. You seem to object to the word design?)
With this said, the world is very small, but space is very large. Immorality would make the exploration of space and extra solar planets a workable idea.

It happens: I was on an London - USA flight that detoured to Iceland some years ago. (Fortunately nothing was seriously broken, burning, etc., but there was a warning indication of some kind that the pilot wanted to have checked.)

The view coming in to Keflavik, with whales swimming in the ocean below, was pretty cool.
Newsmax and OAN are notorious for extremely slanted coverage.

The Guardian has a slant, but nearly every news outlet will have some slant, either by coverage or through omission. But it's certainly a lot worse at Newsmax and OAN.

EDIT: accidentally said "doesn't have"
It's kind of poorly worded. Hitting V1 means you are committed to taking off, single engine failure or not - but you HAVE to reach V2 to safely climb on one engine.

This should happen within moments of hitting Vr, but being single-engine after V1 means you went from hitting Vr halfway down the runway to potentially doing so at the ass-end of your minimum runway length. This means you have basically no room for any pilot error or other failures, and why engine failure on take-off is routinely rehearsed.
A lot is made about how regulation makes it easier to determine who can and cannot use substances, but not much is made about the amount of people willing to try something based on its legality or otherwise.

I can guarantee you more college students under the drinking age want to try alcohol than want to try marijuana or psychedelics, and that's because the former is legal and thus a mainstay in our cultural lexicon. Alcohol ads are the most prominent in the most watched television event every year in the US (Super Bowl). Alcohol-fueled parties are seen as quintessentially college.

Marijuana is gaining such a cultural status now (has been for the past 2 decades). Psychedelics will gain such a status as well, and that will lead to more people wanting to use them.

Don't take this as an argument for or against legalization, but do consider why this isn't mentioned much in the discussions surrounding this topic.
A Board is often an elected body in the US and can’t technically be “fired”.
In a lot of cases, it seems the root cause is disregard for others and greed. People wouldn’t knowingly poison babies if they didn’t stand to make money or they felt sympathy. Unfortunately it seems Hollywood for the past decade or so has glorified nihilism and Machiavellianism because they sell, which has trickled into all facets of American life to the extreme detriment of our society. That’s just my take.
Look at what is happening and you see real data and most of the times it makes a lot of sense. Hear people talk about it, explaining their "reasons" and it's suddenly all gibberish.

One of the first things the founders did was to pass the Sedition Act of 1798, so whatever the moral component of the First Amendment is, it wasn't as clear as it's made out to be today.
"Mayday" is the internationally agreed code, so that's one reason to use that - but US accident investigators also noticed a pattern that American pilots are often too reluctant to declare emergency status when it's appropriate as it is here, because they feel it's "not that bad" yet. Having them say it's an emergency without saying "Mayday" is good enough and might mean a few more cases that should have been emergencies are declared as such.

I might look for the link later, but there's an incident with a Youtube reconstruction where a private pilot is nearly out of fuel, the weather is poor, and he's approaching a USAF base en route to his last hope landing site. Airbases are military facilities, closed to civilian traffic. He asks the controller if he can land there. She says he can't... unless it's an emergency.

He should say "Yes, this is an emergency, I'm on fumes here and the weather is much worse than I expected". She'd turn on the airfield's powerful landing lights, and maybe he'd spend the evening explaining his screw up and apologising to a base commander or at worst spend the night in a cell. Nobody dies. Instead he pressed on, and his dire situation only became clear to her when it was too late and he was already doomed.

People seem to have a strange way of 'investing'. For me, it falls into 2 categories:

1) Long term investements which I almost never look at. Regular scheduled deposits going into an index fund.

2) Bets. Fun little side gambles which I always do for one purpose - aquiring something in the real world. Example: I want a new M1 macbook, but rather than drop $1k, I gamble $3k bitcoin. If it makes enough profit for the macbook, I sell immediately, and buy. If it drops, I just hang onto it until it goes up. But ultimately, this category of investment is never anything other than a bet, which I am OK losing. And, it's always a means to and end. I have a product in mind, and I justify gambling some money (which is fun) as a means to acquiring said product.
> “We deeply regret the earlier comments that were made in the meeting of the Board of Education earlier this week,” a joint statement by now ex-board members Kim Beede, Erica Ippolito and Richie Masadas says. “As trustees, we realize it is our responsibility to model the conduct that we expect of our students and staff, and it is our obligation to build confidence in district leadership; our comments failed you in both regards, and for this we offer our sincerest apology.”

We deeply regret being caught.

It's a fine case of being punished not for what one has done, but for being caught doing so.

No doubt that it goes on everywhere, and that many of the outragees do it too in their own private meetings.
Political rules can't be enforced anymore than religious rules. Only laws can be enforced. It is much easier to switch political parties than for some people to switch their religions.
Speech, nor thoughts, should be outlawed. Unless it is directly interfering with your work, you should not be fired for your speech, but your thoughts. Whether those thoughts are political or religious.
What is that leads you to say that?
