Unfortunately, while human trials might in some perfect world be a workable idea, under capitalism we have a perpetual underclass of people who are kept at wages low enough that they would be willing to do almost anything to get a bit more money. So paying people to sacrifice their health turns into another form of abuse that poor people will endure.
The last time I tried bzflag online I got beaten non-stop. It was honestly a little disheartening, the skill level of the human opponents seemed comically good. Lots of practice I guess

I love bzflag though, I used to play locally with friends, sometimes all night when I was a teen. Good times :)
> Summary: Texas's energy market does not incentivise capacity planning

Market doesn't need to incentivize anything. Rather than state screwing with fake incentive stuff (which is exactly how they got in this situation) they should cancel all existing subsidies.
I personally think it’s due to how the internet is designed, where applications are an afterthought.
It’s after all easy to just get html pages published online, but anything beyond that is a hack.

With a better protocol and set of primitives it shouldn’t be as complicated (even though the challenges of scale can be unique to server software)

I like Total War Three Kingdoms, it has one of the best AI and campaign dynamics I've ever seen.
The problem is that every app developer is starting to believe the same thing, so we just end up with more and more bloat. Computer hardware has never been more powerful but because of bloated apps actual performance feels -- to this user -- the same as it was in 2010.
Pokémon cards (and any kind of collectible card) are practically the opposite of a Veblen good.

They're an item that follows supply and demand to a tee, the ones that are in high circulation are cheap, and the ones that are no longer in circulation and are had to come across are expensive.

This is what I love about OpenBSD (as an observer, and being adjacent via NetBSD) - in surprising ways, when they want something, they leap on it. Forefront of wireless chips, accelerated gfx (perplexing to me, but happily so), and now this? Keep it up, OpenBSD. This is impressive.
> This has already led to bizzare laws, driven by old media and conversative politicians.

No, on the political side it's not driven by conservative politics. It has bipartisan support. In fact is has the the support of Australian's left most party too: the Greens. As far as I can tell, it has every politicians support.

It may be true the conservative's are supporting it to get favourable publicity from Murdock - sounds plausible. That could be Labor's reason too, but it may be the journalists union is putting a fair amount of pressure on them. A lot of journalists are going to lose their jobs. The world doesn't need 100 people re-writing the same story. Sadly for them will lose their hobs regardless of what Labor champions politically.

It's harder to understand the Greens position as they don't count Murdock among their friends. At best they are don't actually understand what's driving all this and how inevitable it all is (oh, how I pine for Scott Ludlam). At worst they are following their "all giant overseas corporates are bad" instincts. Whether that's true or not, it nothing to do with what's happening to the newspapers. Their fate was sealed when the internet became a thing, and anybody could publish a news story. Extending the dinosaurs death throes with forced cross subsidies helps no-one

Don't underestimate the weakness of the tech giants political position here, or the fight they have ahead of them. If they come out of this with their bank accounts mostly intact, it will be ample demonstration of the truth of how much "hard" power they actually wield. They will have squashed the entire Australian political establishment.

Eclipse isn't portable, somebody has to compile it for Linux, it just comes down to whether you want that done by the Eclipse Foundation or Debian people.

But this introduces at least one more premise before we get to Aquinas' conclusion: the premise that "physics cannot in principle capture all there is to physical reality".

And that is not enough, as even if it could be sustained, Feser is still arguing from a generality to a specific. Physics might fail to capture all there is to physical reality while it also being the case that atomic decay is acausal.

Furthermore, when Feser writes: "In short, anyone who claims that quantum mechanics undermines Scholastic metaphysical claims about causality owes us an alternative worked-out metaphysical picture before we should take him seriously", he is just attempting to shift the burden of proof away from those on whom it properly rests: those who say that they can prove there's a God.

Then there's the straw man "If the critic, like the early Russell, denies that there is any causality at all..." that we need not waste any time on.

- And that's all just from the short quote you have provided!

What Feder is not delivering here is an argument that the decay of an atom had a specific cause that operated at a specific time.

Aquinas at least has the virtue of being straightforward, but there's still the independent issue of the unstated assumption that I raised earlier.
Nvidia is another big player, as is Tesla. One nice thing about California law is that employees can freely move to another company and work on similar things (no strong non compete enforcement, IANAL). So they can work at Google and design the good stuff and then move to other places and keep going. Tesla’s chip designer came from Apple for example.
Yes. The US used to be quite strict about this. It still is if you acquire US citizenship by naturalization.

"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen"

The deal for people who are already US citizens is easier.

> Starship can land on the Moon and return, but it needs a fleet of tankers to refuel it for each trip. A specialised crew transfer vessel (no heat shield, no aero surfaces, no landing legs) would be able to head directly from LEO to LLO and transfer crew without having to be refuelled in a highly elliptical orbit around Earth first

SpaceX is already talking about a few different variants of Starship (Crew, Cargo, Tanker, Lunar Landing). There's no reason why they couldn't come up with a special "Lunar Transfer Starship" variant to meet the use case you describe
If you have a mainstream motherboard, you'll likely have Realtek Ethernet drivers.

These do not reliably work in OpenBSD and will hang if you try to use it as a NAS.
Space is important, and NASA is important. Human space exploration (which the Lunar Gateway is part of), however, doesn't seem to have much use and eats up a large part of NASA's budget. It's likely that we'd get much more bang for our buck having NASA focus those resources on other projects.

It's strange that many people will happily discuss wasteful NASA programs like the Space Shuttle or the SLS years after the decision is made, but there's so much resistance to even considering that the currently proposed programs might end in a similar fashion.

>"AAAAAAAAAAAAA PLANE ON FIRE IN THE SKY, RUN!!!"

I grew up about 5 miles from an airport and for many years I had a recurring dream that I was looking out the window at an airliner that looked odd somehow or other, until I realized with growing horror it was going to crash in the back yard.

I never saw anything like it in real life, nor was it ever a concern for me whether I was in a flight path when deciding where to live, but evidently my subconscious had a "to do" list that included "be prepared for planes dropping out of the sky".

Strangely, I didn't have nightmares ever that I can remember about being on a plane in distress. Even though as I got older I got more anxious about flying.
> For example I think back to all the drama with the early days of Ubuntu and how many in the Debian community were vehemently against the idea that someone make a distro that's easier for people to use.

That is disingenuous.

As much as I am annoyed by Debian gatekeeping, I am also gratefull that there still exist one Linux distribution that's serious about their users rights, aka software freedom, and that is able to properly discern, for instance, that Ubuntu was not going to be easier for newbies to install on their computers than it was going to be easier for Ubuntu to force, say, amazon crapware on newbies computers.

I hate Debian gatekeeping yet one have to admit that's the last line of defense against appstores everywhere and the last living example of what user empowerment can be.
I’m reminded of Accidental Citizens:

Essentially, being born in the U. S while living elsewhere is a financial burden. As in, you haven’t been here since birth, but you are expected to pay for citizenry.
What expertise is it that ATC folks build up in all of those years of training? Is it knowledge of plane behavior by model, familiarity with the region, radar behavior? Or is the majority of it the less tangible “getting a feel for the flow of traffic to instinctively pick out unusual behavior”?
I almost agree, but I thought being NEW excluded self-awareness, as that’s more of a Gish gallop (as mentioned in TFA). The problem with taking one of those on earnestly is as I mentioned in the neighbor.
Yes, nowadays it is very common for software to pin its version. This practice strikes me as questionable. One danger is that dependencies are not getting updated regularly and one day one find oneself depending on a very old version of a dependency. The other is that it may not always be possible/practical for other people to be at the that exact version. Some libraries can depend on system libraries that cannot be easily upgraded. E.g., numpy depends on underlying system libraries and it is not always possible to choose whatever version. GUI-libraries ultimateley depend on system GUI-libraries which also, practically speaking, cannot be updated to any random version.

It sure is a pain that occasionally a dependency breaks. One question that one can ask, though, is whether one wants to experience that pain sooner or later. I am thinking of https://martinfowler.com/bliki/FrequencyReducesDifficulty.ht... here.

Running an alternative OS "natively" on a Mac doesn't seem very appealing to me. It's almost guaranteed you will never fully get Wi-Fi, audio, graphics acceleration, the trackpad, etc. working flawlessly, especially on the M1 where almost every component is Apple proprietary and it's not a matter of loading, say, some common Intel graphics driver.

On the other hand, virtualization _already_ lets you run whatever arm64 BSD, Linux, or Windows that you want. The trackpad and everything else will work flawlessly thanks to guest additions. Yes, you make some tradeoffs -- you sacrifice a core, a few GB of RAM, some disk space for an OS you don't _really_ want to be running. But I'm skeptical that these are not better tradeoffs than constantly using a hacked-together and half-broken OS.

To me the ideal solution is not that Corellium or Marcan or whoever reverse engineers the drivers to a sufficient degree. I'd rather see Apple (or the Hackintosh types) release a tiny variant of macOS that contains hardware drivers and Hypervisor.framework and not much else. It could be the next generation of Boot Camp and it would probably take less engineering effort for them to maintain while satisfying the small segment of customers interested in running other operating systems.

That’s dependent on the rock. An metallic asteroid would be something like 80% Iron which is 7,873 kilograms to the cubic meter.

However, the limitation is mass not volume so while an asteroid 1/3 that density might be chosen it’s still going to be fairly compact.

That’s the most industry shill perspective I’ve yet to read.
Man, I really feel for you. I am at the other end of the meat grinder, and am fortunate enough to have choices.

The industry is crazy competitive, right now. This is because of all the money to be made.

This has been both a blessing, and a curse.

One of the big reasons that I am not in a hurry to shack up with some company, is that it can easily make a joy into a horror show.

I would suggest that you learn discipline and structure, just on principle (since the industry doesn’t seem to value it). At least, you will be happy with the work you do, and that is worth more than you can imagine.
Now let's compare to secret of the incas...

You would need charts that show the different sector boundaries and their altitude or flight level stratums. Sectors can be combined, so you might be given a different frequency in the same area at different times of the day and/or days of the week.

With Approach, sector boundaries can also change depending on which runway(s) they're landing.

You could potentially call up the facility and ask for copies of the sector charts, but I don't know what kind of response you will get.

Right now due to COVID-19, facility tours are not allowed, otherwise you could see ATC in-person and ask to take a look at their charts then, as well as ask the Controllers any questions, workload-permitting.

The facilities that I've worked at (HCF Center and Houston Center) have been happy to give tours, but they have to be during normal business hours, and you have to be a United States citizen. For a tour, I suggest organizing a group of pilots or others interested in aviation, rather than just going by yourself.

The views expressed here are my own and not necessarily those of the FAA.
> IIRC there was another, more Apple-fan style commentary of "a free OS will never run on this bespoke Apple product, and shouldn't".

Drawing the line between private/public/government is kinda tricky. The way I understand CALT and CASTC is that they are government owned enterprises as opposed to a government agency like NASA. Maybe its a distinction without a difference, especially when their contracts are all government and presumably their "profits" go back to government as the owner?

>Wiener did not include peyote as one of the substances because of a shortage of the drug among indigenous practitioners, he said. Peyote is a sacred plant for many indigenous tribes, and at the behest of the native community, the bill will not decriminalize peyote, or mescaline when it is sourced from peyote.

That is really disappointing.

I love BSDs and try to use them personally because I like the experience, but as far as drivers go, I feel like Linux is generally on par with the BSDs. It's the userland which can be a PITA.

Basically, I'm not sure there's enough of a difference to warrant someone who can already do linux to use openbsd. Diminishing returns if you're interested in hosting a media server or NAS or whatever people wanna do with home servers.

That said, I highly recommend running either Open or NetBSD for a while just to get the experience. For me, running NetBSD as my only OS on my laptop through my late teens gave me a great foundation for my professional life up till now in my mid twenties. Really pleasant and simple OSes, great for learning OS problem solving too.
For All Mankind is an interesting fictional take on a parallel situation. The series itself is good, but the first fifteen minutes of the first episode are stunning (to me as an American).

I agree with your sentiment, but that isn't as serious as you say on, say, M1 Minis used as servers and that's probably where OpenBSD would shine.

Yup, its nickname ("Grauniad") may be about its historically awful proofreading but it's just as politically off-centre as say the Daily Telegraph ("Torygraph") which gets an explicit accusation of political bias right in the nickname.

Every publication is going to have at least editorial bias in what opinions get written, and what stories are covered, at all or in greater profile.

Private Eye - a famous British satirical magazine - has an entire section ("Street of Shame" referring to Fleet Street) about the worst of this (e.g. newspapers taking long term advertiser money and then conspicuously failing to mention grave problems at the advertised business), but it too has its share of blind spots, most famously it took Wakefield's side on the MMR vaccine claims long after mainstream opinion had shifted to focus on the apparent abuse and profiteering by Wakefield, and even after he was struck off it continued to slow walk any suggestion that its coverage had been wrong or misleading. Its coverage for the present pandemic has been... less than stellar also, except in the sense that it criticises the government for doing a bad job, an open goal sometimes missed at a few of the most right-wing papers.
"Declaring an emergency" isn't even correct in the US. The FAR/AIM only lists "mayday" and "pan pan". (Yes, it's oddly common here in the US for some reason. I think some pilots are afraid to say the "m" word.)

That said, controllers are human. As long as you get the message across somehow they'll do everything they can to help, even with non-standard phraseology.

Of course, the risk of non-standard phraseology is that you might be misunderstood - especially in countries where English isn't the primary language. It's still good to stick to standard ICAO phraseology whenever possible.
> Alexander's point is precisely that tolerance might be more complex then it appears.

That is a patently obvious claim for which anecdotes appearing to support that conclusion - but implying another - are provided.

Why do you think he chose those examples? How is tolerance more complex? What should be done to change how we approach it, if anything?

Put another way, it’s a valid rational argument against the status quo, but without any alternatives suggested, it is a purposeless one - we all know we could do better at anything.
