>Anyone can throw together a 3D rendering of a jet with extra wings //

Seems not as the first image either has the wings/wing tips on upside down or is missing the upward facing winglets. I've seen aircraft with upward, both down- and up-ward, but never just downward facing winglets.

This sort of engine arrangement seems likely to suffer with centre of gravity problems? The side scoops feed the rear engine so the top engine could be occluded by the fuselage?
The solar panels are only reflecting light during the 'moving up to orbit' phase of the launch. After a few weeks the solar panels will be tilted in a different direction, no longer casting bright streaks in the night sky.

Why downvote?

It's really frustrating to see people downvote a factual statement (as opposed to opinion) without giving any sort of correction to that information. If I'm wrong - show me! I don't need this sort of crap after working all day at a job I hate where my voice is basically worthless and a legitimate debate can't take place.
Wow. The fact that my Sandy Bridge laptop from 2011 does it in only 1:41 is pretty indicative of how badly processor improvements stalled out last decade. My processor (like yours, 4c8t): https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/52219/i...

There are plenty of stories where this would be relevant. "Many refugees are landing in suburbs of Paris, one of the most densely populated..." "...rural Korean population is flocking to Seoul, one of the most..."

Anyway it's clear that Gaza is a densely populated area. I still consider the highly selective use of the "one of the most" phrasing curious. For the record I think it's bad to drop bombs onto (or fire rockets into) civilian areas even if they are only sparsely populated, for what it's worth.

When watching the WC games, I've seen it happen that a move wasn't considered as a top move by the engine, but once played the engine realizes it's actually crushing. Something about the heuristics used to prune the vast search space can make it miss sacrifices or seemingly sub-optimal moves that temporarily weakens the perceived position but has a huge payoff in the end. But humans find them. Of course, given enough time and depth the engine will eventually circle back and try the move. But it has no intuition.

Also, an engine without an endgame tablebase can be pretty stupid. There are certain rules one can deduct when there are few pieces left, but a min/max engine will search forever, not knowing the patterns.
Super cool work! Those bits are worth working to recover! Unlike the bits about disk/disc ;)
Suppose for a moment this was not a lab leak. What kind of evidence would be sufficient to be convincing? Or are we looking for investigation after investigation until the end of time?

What this letter fails to establish is a success criterion. Nobody is going to invest in a "proper investigation", much less one tinged with politics, without even knowing something will come out of it.

Do you have anything concrete to say about this technology?
Anyone can build a bot that automatically watches any submissions to any subreddit, and bans those users from their subreddit. Like it or hate it, reddit is very hands-off with how subreddits are moderated beyond maintaining overall site rules.

Most larger subreddits are managed pretty poorly.

My own view - reused passwords come from leaks - should be a penalty of $100 per leaked password - come on, salt and hash them! This would at least put some pressure on that side. Class actions allowed. This would push more towards oauth etc.

Then for targeted attacks, allow non-sms two factor with multiple keys and recovery codes. I'm non SMS two factor on google with recovery codes in a drawer. Have never changed my password and actually have it memorized (and I only use it for google). Same password for 15+ years or so now. Feel totally secure.

>Instead of building hardware that can efficiently play FLAC, they created their own format in order to promote harder lock in to their walled garden.

I don't follow how ALAC promotes a harder lock into their walled garden. If you have a file in ALAC (not a streaming instance, an actual file), it can be converted losslessly to FLAC. Moreover, ALAC has been open source for almost 10 years. Android plays it fine, as does linux.

iPhones have supported FLAC natively since 2017. There's apps that play back FLAC files in the App Store.

So, overall, I don't see what's sad about it. Apple Music is a subscription service that's streaming DRM protected music. Whether it's FLAC or ALAC doesn't make a difference to the user.

I did a blind test with a friend once, 192/320/lossless, and we both could definitely hear which file was 192 - but not which was 320/lossless.

Most of the compression in 320 mp3s is also in areas humans can't hear. I once created a 320 mp3 with a 16kHz cutoff instead of the 20kHz lame uses by default, and to me there was no audible difference - even inverting one and listening to the difference didn't produce anything audible (to me).

Of course nobody uses mp3 anymore, not even iTunes, they encode as 256 aac, which is a far superior codec and near lossless. I doubt anybody can hear the difference between the lossless file and the iTunes file.

You could theoretically convert two pawns to bishops and have three black bishops. Nobody would do that as it is usual to convert pawns to queens, but it is within the rules for you to choose.

So if you plan to write chess engine it would be pretty stupid of you to not prepare it to face multiple black bishops. If I knew that it would give me a lot of advantage.
"Also, current plans are to expand worldwide collaboration on risky virus research sixfold, through the $1.2 billion Global Virome Project. Shouldn’t we figure out if this research sparked the pandemic before drastically expanding it?"

Agree that ugly is subjective. But adjusting spaces when things get refactored is bad, not because it's tedious but because it pollutes history. Changing whitespace on surrounding lines to my change makes eg `git blame` less informative. It's the same reason I believe in trailing commas.

I'm sympathetic to this view, but the flip side of it is we don't do much about currently identified pandemic vector risks such as swine CAFO operations; why would we expect new information (if any) affect our behavior any more than that?

If it's expensive to mitigate and hard to quantify, it's always going to be an uphill battle.

There has been a lot of work using OWL and RDF to represent laws and contracts and to use it for compliance checking.

For more information see:

- https://bankontology.com/ : Semantic bank compliance

- https://www.smartlogic.com/home : I think this company uses semantic technologies and AI to do legal compliance checking

ontologies (PhD thesis on the topic)

- https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=sema... : search google scholar for semantic legal compliance

I know there are more companies doing it, just don't know their names right now.

The benefits of this is:

- Don't need yet another DSL, RDF works fine, and it's already being widely used.

- A lot of the world is already modelled in OWL (e.g. Organizational Ontology, Provenance Ontology, literally too many to list)

- Already have a good query language with inference support (SPARQL)

> Lawyers aren't seeking these tools for it doesn't provide them value, it only takes away billable hours away.

All billable hours aren't created equally. If I can automate the work that I currently hire fresh grads to do - the work of actually drafting up contract agreements for review and wills - but price my services just under the prices offered by other firms then I can make a killing.

You can purchase a hand carved wooden table for your living room and some people still actively manufacture these "bespoke" items, however most folks shop at IKEA and chose between one of a dozen styles available for a dining room table. These two products are mostly functionally identical in terms of supporting food and weathering the years (if you go by depreciation the IKEA table probably loses value slower than a hand carved table - and you can replace it pretty much at will). There will likely always be contract lawyers around to sort out large M&A agreements and other high priced transactions, but wills and simple employment contracts - delivering these in a correct format (i.e. not just a download a sample contract and fill in names possibly resulting in something unenforceable) will be a game changer.

Taxes are extremely complicated - but they got that way by design. The US Tax code is the result of one of the most insane applications of regulatory capture in the world and it's there to allow Intuit to continue printing money at the expense of the tax payer - simplifying those (like for real - not the 2017 version) might not end up happening for decades as there is a ton of money entrenched - so that seems like an incredibly poor part of the market to initially target.

Contract law though, it's not simple but it's so utterly clear and actually codifying it would likely greatly aide law makers in discovering and resolving any existing loopholes and might even provide some useful insight into how the US could better handle the question of employee vs. contractor by enumerating rights and privileges in a clearer format.

And wills, pretty much everyone seeks independent legal council to write one of these at some point - it is highly advisable depending on where you live (in Canada a lack of a clear will causes assets to be tied up by the government for an extended period of time) so you could make a lot of money edging the market out there in particular.

> Exotic alignment such as trying to align equal signs on different lines together doesn't make sense

It makes a lot of sense in some situations and makes the code much more readable. A long list of declarations, configuration options, or a pattern matching block with many short cases can look a lot less chaotic when you align them. Of course it should be done in moderation. And as someone already mentioned, for things like block selection and editing it makes quite a difference.
One position I've heard is that cultural concepts that are used in legislation or contracts ("reasonable effort", "reasonably foreseeable", "undue risk") may always be assessed subjectively by humans, but that the logical structure of rules and conditions ("any of the following", "none of the following", "two or more of the following") may not be.

There are lots of drafting disputes about things where someone wrote something like

> a and b or c

leading lawyers to argue about whether this should be read as ((a and b) or c) or (a and (b or c)).

There's no reason that this kind of ambiguity should have been permitted to exist in the first place.

I think my understanding of this is related to my understanding of Lojban, which tries to avoid all syntactic ambiguities but explicitly says that it's a non-goal to avoid ambiguities related to the cultural meaning of words and concepts. Like if you say something is "medieval" or "fun" or "convenient" or "beautiful" or "fair" or "postmodern", Lojban doesn't try to make the truth-conditions for your statement objective with regard to what these concepts do or don't refer to. But to the extent that that's agreed between two people, they should then agree on what a particular sentence using these concepts means or doesn't mean.

Though I do envision that when people use better tools for avoiding parsing ambiguities in legal texts, they will still argue (and there will be many legal philosophers insisting) that they should still be permitted to argue that something was still a drafting error, because the (only permitted) interpretation under the drafting formalism is manifestly unfair or unreasonable and could not have captured their true intention.
I am the co-author of a very similar application (CoCalc for LaTeX) and our landing page https://cocalc.com/doc/latex-editor.html lists many of the reasons people use it. A number of the reasons apply also to JupyterLab LaTeX, or will soon. A quick summary: realtime collaboration, having the paper you're writing and the data you're computing in the same place, having a very high-resolution history of edits, using latex in course management, using a Chromebook or other lightweight client, and zero configuration support for PythonTex and R (knitr). Note that some of these reasons for using JupyterLab or CoCalc are things that https://www.overleaf.com/ doesn't provide.
Yes, by Chinese citizens. Not by foreigners.
>“Our goal is to make money, and not creating problems for society,”

I think the issue is people read that then add their own meaning to it, and then react to that instead of what was actually said. What they didn't say that people add of their own volition seems to be "and we're not evil", "and we're not criminals", "and we're the good guys". They didn't say those things. Their goal is to make money. That doesn't mean they think they're doing good in the world or innocent.

And 'apolitical' just means they're not choosing targets for political reasons, not that they're paragons of virtue or anything.

And to be clear, I'm not defending them, just observing the reactions to this. People seem desperate for there to be black and white morality decisions when everything is a shade of grey.

The second and third lines have a single tab to do a lexical indent. Then the third line uses spaces to align the "that" with "this".

Not that I see any reason to format code this way; IME it makes code much less predictable when reading and thus more cognitive load to read and understand.

Personally I find indexing all my notes by time completely useless. What does it matter to me if I learned a software concept on Apr. 2 2017 or Sep. 8 2020? What is important for me is the ontology - the hierarchal structure of knowledge. If I have a sociology note (or question), I know where to look. Same with biology or physics or software. Knowledge in my head is not indexed by time; neither should my notes.
Hehe. You jest but MHz is the range of ultrasound and is pretty useless in air.
For the same reason we, as a society, place wage floors, etc.

While that at a glance looks likr a thorough source, you might want to mention that most of that aid was a result of the after math of the 1973 war, which led to a stabilization of the Suez region militarily, friendly relations between Egypt (which also got annual aid from the deal) and U.S., the Camp David Accords, and an enduring peace that's nearing half a century between Egypt and Israel.

If I recall, someone mentioned this was probably because the majority of IDEs come pre-configured to use spaces for indentation over tabs. Therefore, the study is skewed as most people don't update their IDE settings unless they're particular about them (IME this sounds like it's true).

I used to be an active mod on a somewhat active subreddit, not going to say which one. I can say that it was rather suspicious to get pinged to an AHS thread made about a post that was less than 7 minutes old. There's a report button under every post, so the idea that this person couldn't have just used that instead of posting a big dramatic post makes me highly suspicious of AHS.
It sounds like the tax software you used screwed something up and did not account for your cost basis correctly. I would just pay an accountant who has experience with crypto trades to file it for you properly. The IRS is pretty reasonable if you provide documentation correcting mistakes.
