Don't trust anyone over 27. How many years ago was that? "Hope i die before I get old" was 1965 (the who)

Maybe what I am trying to say is, we've been here, or very close to here before.

Also the kind of orthodoxy being attacked is quite different to the kind of orthodoxy being defended. Disrupt everything and shout down opposition is 1968 cultural revolution, and it stems from many things including bad leadership in a crisis.

Maybe the underlying problems (cost of housing, jobs fears, climate change) aren't being handled well?

No, because if you want to live forever, you can't trash the planet.

And? Having children isn't the sole determinant of our well being/happiness nor do they necessarily actually determine happiness.

Moreover, it's a reflection of current society, not a society of immortals. People for the most part considered immortality a foolish dream or actively hostile to the idea, driven by cultural inertia and active cultural reinforcement.
Sure, that’s fair, I’m just saying the biggest single reason for losing power was gas plant failures. I’m refuting the idea that that was a particular failure of renewables. I would agree supply continuity means renewables are not usually a complete solution, but that’s a very different argument and not relevant to this incident.
Ethereum is used as a computer, but it can also be a way to transfer value. So I don't agree on using that as a that metric.

It would seem that Bitcoin is more popular amongst those who don't use cryptocurrencies, and Ethereum is more popular amongst those who are. Just a thought.
Counterpoint: Epigenetics is a thing, which is influenced by the parents life style.

>Other studies have looked at the effect of famine. When mothers were exposed to famine during pregnancy, as was the case in Holland in 1944 and 1945, their children had a higher incidence of obesity and coronary disease compared to mothers not exposed to famine. The higher risks were traced to reduced DNA methylation of a gene producing an insulin-like growth factor. Such epigenetic effects can be inherited over several generations.
>Exposure of parents to cocaine may affect memory.

I can't find evidence of it, but it seems reasonable to extrapolate that long term life style choices will also affect epigenetics for the better.

I think the reason mathematicians use single letter variables is because mathematics is about the way that people think about patterns, understand patterns, and the relationship between them. Therefore the letter is used to help our brain understand the connection between abstract concepts (Categories).

As opposed to programming languages, where the goal is to do something practical, in pure mathematics, our goal is to create a language capable of helping our brains understand the infinite complexities of nature.

You stay close to land as much as possible. For example, LA to Tokyo, you basically fly up the west coast, give Canada's west coast a high five, and then come around below Alaska. It's less direct than it could be, but it's much safer in the event of an emergency.
Being able to uninstall something with more than file is enough reason for deb packaging for end user software. Server software isn’t as relevant as the shift to containerized work loads as made server configurations “build once and toss”.

I remember significant outages of S3, Gmail, and Heroku last year. So to me, it looks like they also don't reach five nines uptime.. .

Also, I'm not convinced that it's needed for a normal product. When my work Gmail was offline, I just had lunch early and then later it worked again.

A single founder offering higher availability than Gmail sounds like a masochist to me.
> I would like to begin by stressing how deeply miserable I am to be back on this beat. [...] Since people seem to love pointing out that Neoreaction a Basilisk does not actually talk about Scott Siskind, aka Scott Alexander, here’s another goddamn essay.

The author certainly didn’t owe anyone another article, but it would be nice if there was a point to it beyond pointing out Scott’s obvious and consistent reluctance to reach falsifiable conclusions or express more than weakly held opinions.

Isn’t all philosophical writing, good or bad, vague?

Part of my job is administering a system for detecting unauthorized sharing, exporting, or printing. It has thresholds and a rules-based engine for specifying what behavior should trigger alerts. Google's system is probably custom but there are definitely products on the market for this sort of thing.
Unless it had a strategy to counteract piracy and other illegal content, it would become a target for law enforcement as soon as it grew big enough to be relevant.

For example, one attack could be to start legal processes against key people in order to bankrupt them, or possibly jail them. This would be function as a deterrence to most people committing resources to the network.
The loss of control in that accident was caused by slat asymmetry. Removing an engine, by itself, wouldn’t be enough to induce loss of control.
Yes, please do! The SCM space is horrible right now. I would love to see prior art.
My goodness, that had all the authenticity and intellectual heft that I’ve come to expect of the NY Post. I especially appreciate his quote from “the great American philosopher Kanye West” and “having a contrarian edge is usually a sign of critical thinking.” Really a quality bit of work there, buckaroo.

No, honestly, it was pretty much dreck, comparable to the spew from Canada’s other “great” opinion writers, like the bloviating Rex Murphy, the criminal Conrad Black, the hateful Margaret Wente, the equally hateful Barbara Kay, or the moron named JJ McCullough.

Long story short, don’t read Canada’s opinion columnists. They are dreadful.
> I'm curious if you're able to think of one non-selfish reason to have childrena?

I enjoy being alive and experiencing things. I think this is true for most people. Therefore having children is moral.
"Where, where on earth did I go wrong?"

Try Firemonkey from Delphi. It will allow you to write cross-platform applications, though for iOS/Mac you'd still need XCode, but at least you'll compile in seconds a small/medium application.
I think the answer is don't watch TV news if you can help it. If 100% of their revenue comes from ads, then their incentives are clear: keep you watching no matter what.

The way I see it, written news at least has a wider range of options, and the subscription model means they have slightly less incentive to be so manipulative.
No. Why not value an achievement as is. "AI"/Computer assisted chip design is great.

You just don't need that in software when most of the industry is low consequence. It's only losing money at most tech companies, not killing your coworkers. This hasn't happened to me personally, but it's not cool when Rob the test pilot, whose family you've hung out with and that you've gone on hikes with, literally dies next day in a fiery crash. But that's the risk any test pilot accepts.
In my family, we see it in our food bills. Due to COVID, most other expenses are down, as we drive less, and don't go out to our normal activities (everything from coffee, to restaurants, movies, even just stopping in a corner store on the drive home). However, our food bills are almost double what they were a few years ago. The worst part is that packages of standard food items keep getting smaller which hides this effect in some of the inflation indices - just look at the weight of a package of cookies, or the cost of a pound of beef. But, hey, at least the increase in housing prices is hidden by ridiculously low interest rates.
The process involves dissolving the plastics in ethanol at almost double its boiling point. So this requires pressure and presumably a batch process. That adds to the cost quite substantially.

Agreed. A new language will not solve garbage in, garbage out problems. A lot of times even when a BA tries to untangle the mess of business practices by carefully documenting it and proving that a better way exists, some stakeholders can still find it challenging adapting to a well intended change.
I was expecting something that looked more like Python rather than C without (explicit) types.
These are not solving land impact of human. We must have fewer human or live in smal space like in Tokyo and others city like it. Most human no have desire to do this. Batery take resources like lithium more than we have. Maybe Dyson swarm eating star energy output cause climate change of its own, fewer energy reaching earth surface. There is always impacts that human create. We only can for truly mitigate climate change with reducing human numbers. One action we take for to reduce impact create impact again in one other place. We swalow spider to catch fly and continue on each and again. One child policy is the forebest way for to accomplish.

Shelly Kagan wrote a great introduction to the philosophy of death [1]. It directly addresses many of the OP's arguments, and, it persuaded me that it's not a black and white issue (ie. immortality = ultimate good)

What do they do that is damaging? I think that's what they were asking. Do they just clog the airwaves with noise?
It doesn't. Python would need to add support for it.

The built-in scripting languages do, PowerShell enters constrained language mode and IIRC something also happens to VBScript/JScript, haven't even looked at those.
EMERGENCY- A distress or an urgency condition.

DISTRESS (MAYDAY)- A condition of being threatened by serious and/or imminent danger and of requiring immediate assistance.

URGENCY (PAN-PAN)- A condition of being concerned about safety and of requiring timely but not immediate assistance; a potential distress condition.
Even better than that, it also runs natively on Raspberry Pi, so you can go down at bare metal on embedded projects.

Cool site. Some UX feedback:

1. 'Double click to close' is very non-standard web UX, I'd recommend not trying to innovate on UX and simply supporting the back button as sites always have. Double click also breaks text highlighting. It's really only worth breaking the rules once you've mastered them AND have a use case where breaking it opens up a new opportunity.

2. Right now when you press back when looking at a book, you return to the home page rather than the page you were just on (subject area, e.g. Sci Tech), which is also unexpected.

3. If your book info overviews are super short, you may want to consider opening them accordion-style within the subject view, so you can continue to browse/scroll without further navigation.

4. You may want to consider using a standard CSS framework like Bootstrap or Tailwind until you're more comfortable with frontend design. There's an order of magnitude more complexity and nuance to frontend design/dev than engineers typically are aware of and these frameworks get you far, fast.
To a first approximation, if it takes X thrust to stay aloft, the engines produce a combined total of more than 2X, and there is a speed above which the rudder produces enough aerodynamic force to maintain directional control.

If you want to get into the nitty gritty, look up multiengine airplane type certification requirements.
Of course military aircraft have different requirements (and many have just one engine in the tail). Certainly I'm not enough of an aero/astro engineer to know if, positing a perfectly reliable engine, you'd mount just one somewhere on the fuselage.

No, this is not a story of the evil capitalist overlord oppressing the little guy. Save the hero narrative. Even the broke bands (which is most of them) want people to pay them for their work. The good news is there are actually a lot of them who don’t, and that’s their personal decision. You’re allowed to take it for free if they set their price at zero, but you’re not allowed to set their price at zero for them.
I assume you mean Digital Modes?

And it's not the same, because anyone can "read" the digital message with the same codec, encription can't be, unless one has the key.
Steve Jobs died, didn't you hear?

And with him, the "mean" management style that demanded things should actually work correctly. Apple is dead.
I think there's a very real possibility that trying to do that I would dissolve from the embarrassment like the witch in The Wizard of Oz.
Probably a dumb question, but why don't the pilots cut the fuel to the right engine after they know it's on fire?

Care to tell me an example of one we have now? That Delphi (spiritual successor of Pascal) is not just as elegant? Because I can't think of one.
Just dropping by to say that you're right. You can absolutely _load_ dynamic libraries from Rust. I've done this. But of course, the executable is not dynamically _linked_ to the requested libraries. E.g., running `ldd` on my executable won't show which shared libraries it is or should be linked against. Rather, it will just fail with an error if the requested library is not there. There are crates for loading dynamic libraries that use `dlopen` under the hood.
This is honestly one of the reasons I stopped investing in my twenties. I cashed out everything and put it all towards paying down debt because I was absolutely obsessed with the stock market...but after doing the math the guaranteed returns on debt payment were a better focus than the up and down nature of the stock market.

I invest now but I have to be conscious of obsession mitigation techniques otherwise I will constantly be watching fluctuations and wondering if I need to sell, buy something else, etc. Instead I buy big boring companies that pay a dividend...and never sell. Just watch for whatever looks like the best deal at the time when I have new money to invest.

Croatia is part of the European Union, and allows US citizens and other third-country nationals (non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens) in, very easily. This includes during the coronavirus pandemic.

They also have a digital nomad visa, and they allow you to have the national health insurance, like Croatian citizens and EU/EEA/Swiss citizens, are allowed to have.

It is quite a good deal: Croatia basically costs about the same as the US, worst case scenario, and is often much cheaper. It is very nice in Croatia. Also, the people are extremely friendly and accommodating.

Also, coffee and cafes are a huge part of our culture. It is a place to gather and meet with people. We spend a lot of time in cafes. We are also a country where sports is a huge deal.

We all speak English, too.

Anyways, I am a dual US|EU (Croatian) citizen living in Croatia (Zagreb, at the moment). I am culturally American, and have lived in the US almost all of my life.

Split is also an amazing big city in Croatia.

If you want to experience what the "old Mediterranean" was like, you should absolutely spend time on the island of Vis. It is one of the most preserved islands in the Mediterranean. From post-World War II to around 1994, you could only visit the island if you had family there, as it had a Yugoslav military base on it.

Besides having an very rich history, it is just unbelievably pretty. There is a mountain on the island called Hum. There is also a famous blue cave nearby.

Because it is so pretty, people call it the "Hrvatski Capri" (The Croatian island of Capri). You know, as in reference to the island of Capri in Italy.

Pictures and videos do not do justice to how pretty it is. If you want to see how pretty it is, the island of Vis is from 2:37 onward in this video: https://vimeo.com/199742323

Indeed. The scary part here isn’t the loss of (function in) one engine, it’s structural issues, fire and so on. A violent engine failure can give a whole range of problems beyond just the loss of the engine. It would likely have been ok even half way to Hawaii, but it would have been scary.
Will it even be possible for many people to give up smartphones in favour of a dumbphone any more?

Thanks to COVID, you may have to own an Apple or Android smartphone to do certain things. Several countries have announced that their vaccination certificate will exist mainly in digital form, with one official app that generates limited-time QR codes. For instance, I can’t find any information on what Israelis without a smartphone are supposed to do at restaurants etc., since the news is reporting that the QR code will be mandatory to enter such places.

Nearly all people entering Poland must now quarantine, and after you hand over your details at the border, the police send you an SMS saying “Installing our quarantine app from the Google Play store or Apple’s store is legally required”.

Then you already had the problem of some banks no longer offering code cards or SMS verification, and requiring you to use their app for 2FA for online banking.

From what I can tell, the change comes with motor vehicles, when people have to start monitoring the kids' every moment. Before motor vehicles arrive, you just set them out to play and other adults/older children take care of them.

After motor vehicles, there's a lot more risk to just letting them roam, and now you have to arrange an area where they can play and since there isn't a lot of people milling about outside that can watch them, the parents and other immediate family members shoulder more of the load.
Apple mentioned the secret x86 build of OS X during the keynote when they announced that transition [1], I think they alluded to it in one of last year’s keynotes too. That said, you would expect them to have booting, installation, and wiping as one of the first things built in the macOS-on-ARM porting process.

It looks like of of the fan blades detached and ripped cowling off. Such engine defects are usually not detectable during routine pre-flight inspection, for that you need to disassemble whole engine, check bearings, do x-ray inspection of turbine to look for metal fatigue or micro cracks etc.

Two years ago there was very similar incident, also Boeing 777 with PW4000 engine: http://aerossurance.com/safety-management/ndi-failures-b777-...
You can hear the fire alert going off before the mayday.

The fact that they requested a left turn at first it meant the controller knew the right engine was out and they'd need left turns to come in. Always find the level of training impressive and I'm glad they made it back safely.

Tell that to the people who invented laser or who developed the theory of evolution or who refined economics with behavior or who put experimental evidence in front of theory in psychology or who insist on using data to uphold sociological theories.

> Note that, as Diane has presumably already said in her paper, free will is definitely an illusion in the simulations. I guess it also is at the top-level, given that their universe is deterministic to the point that it can be simulated to the tiniest detail.

The top level could be very different to the first level simulation. The only part that actually needs to be similar is that the real universe and the first-level simulated one both create their own simulated universe.
I've used Tribler out of curiosity for a year or so and the 'token' thing popped up a while ago, but then was removed again because, from what I could see, the calculations weren't working - I went from being a few gigabytes in debt to being tens of terabytes in credit within a time frame that wasn't technically possible with my internet connection, even at full throughout, which it rarely reaches (pfsense tells me).

People will always find ways to get drugs one way or another, even just to experiment once or twice. It being illegal has an allure of its own. It's better if they can acquire it legally, and try it out with friends in a safe environment and don't have to hide it.

Making it legal also helps remove stigma, lowering the barrier for people to seek help and care.

I'm not, and I'm sorry that you struggle to see anything but black and white. I'm not complaining about paying artists. The ability to pay them is 100% unrelated to the complaint that enforcement technologies can harm the consumer. I'm sorry that you're not seeing that, but I'm not sure how much more explaining can possibly help here. If you can find a sentence from me that, anywhere, says or even implies "I shouldn't have to pay for music/tv/ebooks", I'll be shocked. I'm glad you came back after your nonsensical police parallel to make this comment, though.
