It was cutting edge and in a way the Franco-British Apollo program in terms of engineering. I mean not only in terms of speed, but engines, material, fly by wire, anti skid (aka abs), carbon brakes, CoG adjustment to reduce drag, even the now common Airbus flight stick was tested on Concorde...

I remember reading a book by an engineer from the Concorde program (he's from the UK) who got invited by the Americans working on the B-1 bomber (which was initially supposed to be a M2.2 thing).

They wanted to exchange about air intakes problems such as efficiency, surges, and all. The author was not impressed at all by what had been developed and tested on the B-1. And he thought what they had on Concorde was so much more advanced (he might have been totally biased of course).

Because as people say, Concorde was not tested, it was developed (hence the many prototypes, pre-production and first production models) because a lot of the technology had to be created and if it didn't, it had to be modified to be usable on a civilian aircraft.

A classic example is pulling the throttle all the way back while at full speed: on most fighter jets of the era, you'd completely trash the turbine if you did that. So they had to create a plane which did the right thing for pilots who weren't trained like fighter pilots...

It was also a case of doing all the wrong thing in terms of management. Like assembling two of the same things on each side of the Channel to please respective governments...
What atual proof have you seen that it's state sponsored besides the media and government telling you it is?
I agree with you on the part of the regulators allowing certain entities to exist in a determinate way. But I also feel the need to be responsible towards what Amazon does, if it is making employees pee in a bottle, it is making me pee in a bottle because I am part of this society. If its truck to transport stuff around are destroying the roads and not contributing back with taxes, it is destroying MY roads.

So I make the choice to dodge anything that is even slightly related to that company, and it is a choice that doesn't take bravery, it is not that they are the only source of water and I can't live without it.

I think we as individuals need to make the choices to detach ourselves from certain entities, without expecting third party to make the choice for us or protect us, which if it happens is good, and we should vote for it, but if it doesn't we are still responsible to hold ourselves accountable for our own choices and what those choice enable to exist

And I would put the responsibility of certain things to exist on the individual, because it is the individual that makes these entities to exist and evolve, each one has to be true to its values and do things it feel are worthy to be true to itself

Team makeup and drafts are different. In leagues with a fairly static line-up of teams and relative ease for players moving between teams season-to-season, they're designed to prevent the league from rapidly sorting into permanent winners and permanent losers (like, the kind that gets shut out and embarrassed by mid-tier teams routinely, not that just loses more than half the time), the latter of which will tend to wither and die. It's basically a risk reduction scheme for all parties spending money on the teams (the owners; cities that build stadiums).

I did account for it

I don't believe you. I think if you originally accounted for it, you would have known that your original value of 27% was misleading and you would have expanded on it.

If you did account for it, you wouldn't only now be saying 35%.

The alternative is to believe that you DID know, and you deliberately misled; I think that's not the case though. I don't think you're a deliberate liar; I think you've got an ego. Got one myself and sometimes I do the same thing.

You have NOW accounted for it, yes.
The optimistic timeline may have been based on "if we get the money and customers we expect, and they don't have any special requirements". When the above isn't true you're likely to see a slower rollout.

There is no one uniform experience, but there are some consistent problems.

Severely underpaid teachers and a focus on testing leads to formulaic memorization of (what a lot of us thought) was drivel, just things to know and forget after the test. High school for me started very early (about 6:45/7 to catch the bus), so it was miserable. I did have some classes that were the exception, but for me all school did was try and beat the drive to learn out of me. In middle school I got punished for reading ahead in our assigned literature. We also had to deal with a powertripping principal for years.

And that's to say nothing of the completely whitewashed US "history" we learned.

I actually was homeschooled for a few years, so I have experience with both systems. The issues I had with homeschooling were the overly religious program my parents used, and the lack of socialization.

I will never put my kid in a public or private school system, provided that I find a community for us to engage socially in, that we find a good curriculum that's not religious, and that either myself or my partner engages in it full-time.
1. There's a lot of irony in your statement, since Jewish people were slaughtered and horribly mistreated in those other countries simply for being Jewish. So how have they not been ethno-states... or at least "anti-specific-ethno states"?

2. There are plenty of countries that are dominated by Islam, and yet their right to exist isn't generally questioned.
I have, and it still goes bad. I've done quarts and those still go bad. Pints might work but at that point it's just annoying because I have to head out for milk often. Soy milk works fine for me. I hate the idea of wasting/spoiling food and I've never had soy milk go bad.

How do they use rituals and symbols to forge a common worldview?

I'm real tired of this larger thought that a job is anything but a place where I'm paid to do a task. I'm not there for friends - i already have ample, chosen through decades of careful selection - nor am I there for rituals or world views. I already have those.

Sometimes I feel like lonely/empty people find these things in their job and force it onto the rest of us while singing praises of team building or corp culture/community into their inner void.
> Your Disney, selling a child-sized “tattooed Polynesian skin” costume. (Why are all my examples about children?)

The people who got upset with the Maui costume strike me as the exact same type of people as the characters in the movie who got upset about the titular character's "cultural appropriation" of seafaring.
Everyone should know 10 years in advance to write nuanced posts.
this isn’t just criticizing israel. this is criticizing all jewish people as being war hawking hypocrites unable to remember history who don’t care about anyone but themselves. it’s clearly antisemitic. and if he wanted to make this about israel it should have been phrased “if i were an israeli” which still isn’t accurate cause not everyone in israel suppported this

maybe the lesson is if you are going to make sweeping, negative, generalizations about a population you are probably going to look like an idiot. and especially if you feel the need to publish them to the world

> A small, lean stdlib with pip and basic text, numbers and io support would make for a smaller and more easily distributable package

For what environments is the size of Python's stdlib actually an issue?

Certainly in embedded with MicroPython. But for anything else (even micro-containers), I don't see how the extra MBs can be meaningful.
Highly doubtful. Typically one agrees to the clawback. People tend to not know they can ask for this to be waived, but some smaller companies won't waive it.

Practically it may cost them more to get the money back than just letting it go if you refuse to pay. Also, typically, if you get fired early and the bonus was for relocation, the money doesn't unspend itself so I'm not sure what they expect.
I also didn't downvote your comment, I was explaining why I downvoted project2501b's. "Tax the living daylights" and "Put all that money" is absolutely the language of power-grabbing and money-grubbing. You may agree with them in theory, but in discourse they are absolutely making your side look bad.
> Theoretically, I guess, but it's really strange how the one tiny country in the whole world that has a Jewish-dominated society is so often a target for complete destruction.

Because it’s a colonial ethnostate, with massive support from the United States. Israel (the colonial ethnostate) should not exist. Palestine is not an ethnostate, it is the name for the multicultural, multi-ethnic state who rightfully controls the area occupied by Israel, before British colonialism and subsequent invasion and occupation of the territory.
> I start a project, I need it to use Ruby 2.7.x, OpenSSL 1.1, node 14.x because that's what the project is compatible with, and I need that to happen on both Darwin, Linux, on whatever cpu arch. Pinning the hashes of "whatever I built it with" won't work.

> Worse, some software such as e.g Ruby encodes their platform at build time (because it matters, because #ifdefs) so currently I'm on darwin20 but specifying "ruby" pulls in RUBY_PLATFORM==darwin17. Nix is currently helpless in face of that.

Right, right. That's a real problem. Gentoo Portage has mostly a big monorepo kinda like Nixpkgs, and in it you can find multiple versions of many pieces of software. Maybe the sensible future in the Nix world would be:

1. Our package attributes include version metadata, perhaps through something like ‘subflakes’ within the repo.

2. Nixpkgs includes multiple versions of major pieces of software.

3. Nixpkgs' top-level remains basically as it is now, in that for the most part only the latest version of something is used as a dependency. Alternatively, we use some kind of a ‘lock file’ that gets published with Nixpkgs. This way `nix profile install` still doesn't have to perform any dependency resolution for packages inside nixpkgs, so its behavior stays fast and predictable.

4. You can add version constraints in defining packages for use outside Nixpkgs, in `nix shell` environments, etc.

Does that seem like the way to go for you, or is your ideal picture something else?
I don't think the size of the airport made much difference: at LHR and JFK BA had a special lounge and other arrangements. You had to arrive 30 minutes before if taking luggage, otherwise just early enough to get through fast-track security.

Replace jew with 'israeli' in every occurance. Who's fault is it that israel intentionally tried to muddy the water and make the word confusing? I don't see any anti-semitism here. I see here concern that israel does not care about the humanity of their neighbors.

No offense, but that sounds pretty miserable. I'm on my forties, with two kids, and never had to subject myself to such things. Life is too short for that.
If this Twitter subscription offered freedom from ads and tracking, this would have been an instant buy. A subscription to add an undo button and change the app icon? Hard pass.
It's hard not to see this as ultimately a good thing for the world.

The market will not spend one dime more on security than is needed to maintain lines of business, and that includes things like perception of risk and mitigation.

If there is enough pain, whatever level of baseline security is needed to protect most orgs against these attacks will become the new standard.

And then this threat will be replaced by a new one.
Plenty of time... the totalitarian principle of QM notwithstanding, not everything not forbidden is compulsory at a macro level; academia is not a deterministic machine for yielding studies given the appearance of a phenomenon.

I believe you, but too many people use the line, I'm not antisemitic, I'm just criticizing the government as a scapegoat to excuse obvious antisemitic behavior.
Interesting. I wasn't sure about blacks' position relative to jews on the oppression stack. I guess jews are actually above them (i.e. blacks cannot criticize jews the way they can whites)? Was this always the case? As I recall, Louis Farrakhan gets away with worse.

In 1998 I was running around Italy telling people that Joseph Smith translated magic transdimensional golden plates that a disembodied Native American spirit materialized for him.

Six years later I became an atheist. I've been an atheist for 17 years now.

As someone who has personally undergone an extreme change in disposition on something so fundamental with respect to how one views the cosmos, what you did or said 14 years ago is only relevant to me insofar as what your transformation story has been.

More than anything though, I want to know what person you have become today. Bonus points if you used to think the opposite of what you think today, because you've managed to really grok that state of mind and figured out how to get out of it.
The domain name is a human-readable address to digital content. It also has some added value in that purpose if it's shorter, easier to remember, etc. An NFT is not an address, any link is purely abstract. The NFT could go away and not impact anything it's supposed to be linked to. In fact sometimes people make a point to purposely destroy the thing abstractly linked to the NFT.

Those seem very different to me. In fact even if you wanted to use an NFT to be the address of a piece of digital content, you couldn't easily do that: You would need to build something like DNS on top of NFT's in order to make them human usable in that way.
What do you mean when?
NFTs bring the willfull ignorance of the anti-crypto crowd into stark relief. I had a roommate 10 years ago who was a video artist. She would do gallery showings and sell videos for hundreds of thousands of dollars. She had been doing it since the 90's. Her videos could be downloaded from her website, so what was she selling? Certificates of authenticity, that certified that the holder owned the art.

All criticisms of NFTs could just as easily be applied to the way that all digital artists have always sold their art. Where were you, ten years ago? Why weren't you yelling at my roommate for being a scammer?
> NFTs are sort of originals

There is no such thing as an original digital media asset. The digital media attached to an NFT is by definition a copy.
Keisler wrote a monograph to accompany the textbook:

https://people.math.wisc.edu/~keisler/foundations.html

It's a bit more than an instructor's manual. It covers the construction of the hyperreals in two ways: One (in section 1E) is relatively short, and is like the compactness theorem approach Abraham Robinson originally used in his book ("Non-standard Analysis", Princeton U. Press).

The second construction uses ultraproducts (in Chapter 1*). Keisler gives a quick introduction to the logic needed to understand the ultraproduct construction, beginning with formal languages and sentential logic. So the prerequisites are there, and explained concisely but clearly. The ultraproduct construction comes up elsewhere; for applications to other areas of math, see Martin Davis's book "Applied Nonstandard Analysis" (Dover Publications). (There's a review of the books by Keisler, Davis, and Stroyan and Luxemburg: https://www.ams.org/journals/bull/1978-84-01/S0002-9904-1978...).

The rest of Keisler's monograph contains mostly nonstandard proofs of many of the results in the textbook. I like it a lot, and anyone who's interested in this stuff should grab the PDF.

Another book that is short and moderately elementary is "Infinitesimal Calculus" by James Henle and Eugene Kleinberg, also published by Dover [which also publishes a paper version of Keisler's text, and is generally a great publishing company].

When Keisler's book came out, someone decided that it would be reviewed for the Bulletin of the AMS by Errett Bishop, who (as I recall) was a noted constructivist. You can read the review here: https://www.ams.org/journals/bull/1977-83-02/S0002-9904-1977... Having a constructivist review a calc textbook that uses nonstandard analysis was probably not a great idea. The review ends with: "Now we have a calculus text that can be used to confirm their experience of mathematics as an esoteric and meaningless exercise in technique." I believe Keisler wrote a reply in a subsequent issue of BAMS, but I can't find it.

I don't think so.

There's plenty of states with ongoing ethnic strife, and they do face a lot of deserved criticism. However I can't really recall popular, internationally supported calls for their abolition altogether.

The age of state again has not much to with it: for example Lebanon is younger than Israel and has a rich history of ethnic/sectarian conflict. Now there must be people who want to abolish Lebanon, but somehow you never hear them.
