I once had a representative from Vanguard call me, and the first thing he asks me for is my security questions. I responded with "I can't be certain you're actually from Vanguard" and he got really annoyed. He was legit, I called them and got him on the line and we went from there, but it was obvious from the exchange most people just happily oblige their info.

This wasn't a toy drone like a DJI Mavic or similar. Assuming they haven't changed hardware, it cost ~$125,000, takes a team of two to operate, and weighs 2.4kg (5.2lbs).[1]

This is the damage done to the airplane.[2] It will require body work and an engine tear-down (prop struck the drone). If the drone had been a bit higher, it could have done major damage to the prop or worse the windscreen and possibly pilot.

Apparently they had a telemetry setting they added a while back which they called "security" which they renamed a year or so ago to "Diagnostic Data Off" to better encompass what it is:

The "Diagnostic Data Off" — formerly Security — should be exactly that, as Microsoft has long defined the option as "only the diagnostic data info that is required to keep Windows devices ... protected with the latest security updates." The company admits to some collecting — OS, device ID, device class — but the option waives all user content and data that might finger the user, including company name.[1]

I think that option is only available in the Enterprise edition though, so if you want to pay them for it, it might be a bit pricey compared to other options, at ~$84/year (if you can even buy it for a single account, I have no idea).

Here are some psychological tricks that will help you ace a job interview.

Tailor your answers to the interviewer's age.
Generation Y interviewers (between 20 and 30): Bring along visual samples of your work and highlight your ability to multitask.
Generation X interviewers (between 30 and 50): Emphasize your creativity and mention how work/life balance contributes to your success.
Baby Boomer interviewers (between 50 and 70): Show that you work hard and demonstrate respect for what they've achieved.

--

Are you kidding me? Maybe insert a joke about 'millennials' if you get interviewed by a boomer, am I right? Really tailor your material for the crowd.
> The good news is, as others have already suggested, this level of education is now very accessible by e.g. YouTube channels:

With the caveat that you must work on on every problem set you are confronted with.

An essential part of a physics education is struggling over extremely hard problem sets. (I'm assuming/hoping these channels offer decently hard problem sets.) This more than lectures teaches you how to flail about in unknown areas of physics and to gauge your own understanding. This I think is a physicist's superpower.

> then you would say "Skiing is a personal choice that everyone deserves to make, and I have no problem with my tax and insurance dollars paying for skiers"?

Yes, because that's the principle the system is built on.

I mean, I think lots of people somewhat consciously make lots of terrible decisions all the time, and the consequences of their decisions do cost giant sums of money that I have to pay lots of taxes for and that cannot be used for people who face truly accidental hardship (think extreme skiing vs walking and a suitcase dropping from a plane).

But we've generally decided that that's totally fine, and I've accepted that and I pay taxes to make sure they don't have to face the consequences of their decisions. We cannot say "that's fine for everything, but not here" if we operate on a principle. It's either "you're on your own" or it's not, but it has to be consistent.

It would be plausible to imagine that the average black person commits say, three times the crime the average white person commits. (Plausible, but probably not true.)

I know many people aren't happy with Corsair

You're talking to one of them. Disappointing failures of both mouse and keyboard resulting in returning hundreds of pounds worth of supposedly high-end products within months of purchase. At least one of the problems I had was also getting reported by others by the time I sent that product back, so it also looks like a design flaw and not just bad luck. I think you also need to install their resource-hungry, crash-prone software to make use of most of the special features too, though that's hardly relevant if keys are falling off and buttons aren't registering presses anyway.

I wouldn't even consider buying more peripherals from Corsair for a while. The quality isn't there and they don't work properly in a you-had-one-job kind of way. Worst of a bad bunch in my experience.

Spending money keeping people alive is a more productive use of that money than spending money to make people dead.

MMT doesn't change this equation. In fact, it points out explicitly that increased money supply MUST be used to increase productivity. The exact opposite of what happens when you spend money to bomb people.

No, the business goal is to lie, trick, cheat and steal, to fuck a potential customer over so they part with their money.

That the customer may not be satisfied afterwards doesn't matter - there are plenty of mitigation strategies, such as lock-in effects, playing off sunk cost fallacy, or drowning negative feedback on third-party sites with bought ratings, reviews and social media likes.

Seeing a site like this should light an immediate warning site in your head, telling you that you don't want to be on the business end of their business goals.

LA has the best everyday food. Other cities surely have better fine dining.
You don't want to spend too much time, but you have to spend some amount of time and effort to validate it. I think it scales with the ambition of your idea, but something like 3 months of full time work on well-executed, but non-groundbreaking service sounds pretty reasonable.

The problem with landing pages, waitlists, etc is that they'll give you very little - until people are using your product everything they say is suspect. They need to be using your product, be vested in it, care about it, have opinions about it, etc. Landing pages will only get you a "huh, that's interesting, I might try it out"

To validate it, find several dozen people that will use and love it and give you real feedback. This is a highly manual process and it should be.
Governments the world over have made repeated, clear statements that if someone tests positive for COVID, and then dies within 28 days for any reason, the death is counted as a COVID death.

That is the end of any validity in test-derived deaths data.

> The Hyperloop, is something Musk spent over a calendar year and numerous engineering assets working on before he decided to give up and open-source their work. If any of his projects was an unreserved failure, it was the hyperloop.

Can you provide me with a source on that? During that time he was full time for Tesla and SpaceX and they were very busy during that time with other projects. So I can't see how this much engineering was put into it.

Also, not doing a project is not the same as failing at doing something.

The result of the investigation was clearly, I think its a good idea but I have no time to do it. Maybe somebody else will.

I think he still hopes to eventually put a Hyperloop type system into a boring tunnel, but he thinks shorter range solution are more important and tunneling technology needs to improve to make it viable.

> SolarCity

I agree it could have been a failure, but also don't know that for sure.

> I don't get why you're so upset about this. I didn't say Musk was horrible. I just pointed out a lot of his projects tend to fail.

I am not upset, I just pointed out for the most part his projects do not fail. You pointed to one project they didn't actually do more then a initial technical evaluation on. And on project that could have failed, but actually didn't.

I think objectively if any person said 'I'm gone do X project' (that was considered incredibly difficult), I can't think of many that would have more credibility then Musk (ie Tesla, SpaceX or a new company).

A humanoid robot is a risky project for sure and it does not seem to be the same level of importance as batteries or reusable rockets, so maybe they will abandoned it at some point.
Different person but chiming in

> He has also been posting rambling rants to Facebook that attack his accusers.

I've always found it unsettling that the best course of action is complete silence. Like basically the whole population has already made a conclusion based on their own prior experiences, and verbally defending yourself is not capable of vindication while it can only be used as ammunition to the accusing party. Even though to some people that would support you, the silence could harm their view of you as well.

I'm definitely on the side of complete silence and lawyer up. But the initial blowback and lack of support is offputting.

Anybody have any thoughts on that?

Frameworks like bootstrap have one big advantage: less creative surface, more get things done surface. They are getting lost not because they don’t know css. They don’t know what was on your mind when you wrote it, and they usually have neither a clue, nor clear documentation, no comments, no common practice guide. Nothing. It is just a wall of fragile definitions already crippled by some previous maintainer to the level when any change explodes into a refactoring of a 20-page interdependent mess. Any negative effect of a framework is heavily offset by the fact that any handcrafted css is eventually fucked up (if not right away), and it is not even negative if a framework helps avoiding it.

You are right that we need local bike shops but I don't think we need more major chain shops. Admittedly a chain shop is better than NO shop at all if that's what you're dealing with in your area. In Philly, the Performance bike shop went out of business while many of the smaller independent shops have survived.

The good news is that bicycle fashion has tended towards more "city bikes" in the last decade or so. These have fewer frills and thus are simpler (== more durable) and also more maintainable by someone who is willing to learn the basics. The "basics" would be lube, fixing flats, brake maintenance and simple shifter adjustments. I think that's better than the earlier trends of "mountain bikes" with too many parts and stuff that's too hard to adjust for people without enough tools.

I m not sure what level of pricee you expect, also. But LA is really far and hispano-american to be truly neutral culinarily.

I'm french and therefore a bit food snob. I live in Hong Kong, a place where the local food is 3 USD a meal, and the meat dicey while most nationalities, French especially, are represented at all price levels. It's still going to be skewed toward Asian taste (where are the Camembert sushi, a staple of parisian cheap sushi restaurant!?)

I dont know american food scene but it's probably horrendous: a memory of a 2 week stay in NYC when I was 16 scarred me: people in the US call "fat" "food", they cant actually comprehend taste. Just like my indian friends are so burned by spice they cant see the difference between different types of steaks (and tbh, like I find all type of spice just tasteless fire and cant distinguish them).

It's not bias you have, it's complete ignorance, I humbly assert :D I hope at least you're not the kind of american who think fortune cookies are traditional chinese culinary culture (it s an american invention)...

But if you speak of ultra luxury chefs and their distribution vs Tokyo or Barcelona you may be right, but it hardly matters: that's not real food either.
Very economically diverse. Racially, nothing near NYC. LA is a country and all the different areas are states/provinces. I lived there for 25 years, moving every 5, and it was amazing. Venice, Silver Lake, West Side, Downtown, Mt. Wash.

What the author does not acknowledge, is that the traffic keeps you home on weekends. I always say about LA: more to do than anywhere, but you do less of it.
I have a local bike shop that I would like to support, but they stock only the cheapest no-name parts and charge way more than the premium parts on Amazon.

I went to get a replacement inner tube--nothing special, just a 26x1.95 with a Schrader valve--and all they had was some Chinese brand (Hilong or something like that?) for $35. I want to support local businesses, but come on. The only thing they offered over Amazon is that they would install it for you for a modest $50 in labor.

They also basically don't stock anything under $800 if you are looking to buy a bike, and even those are Giant brand mountain bikes with trash tier hardware. I went looking for something I could commute to work on every day and they were trying to sell so much fragile carbon fiber stuff that was miles outside of my budget range. I don't need to shave 5/10ths off of my commute, I want low maintenance, comfort, and ruggedness. Apparently that's totally uncool and biking is all about ultralight and ultrahard--feel every crack in the pavement through the hard plastic saddle! I wasn't impressed with the line about "it's more comfortable because you use less energy to get there".
Same, literally laughed out loud.

Not really, we can test a drug on a large population and determine it to be effective on 5% of all people. With no further info you know you have about a 5% chance of getting better. With more research we may determine that for people with a specific variant in their DNA the succes rate is 60%, so you can be part of two groups. We can keep making it better, maybe never 100% but very from “a gamble”.

One trick could be to run the program in a "lazy" way. E.g. don't run a statement like "a=b+c", but evaluate it only when a is needed. This would require a complete and automatic rewrite at the assembly level, but you wouldn't be doing anything that you don't need. Then from this you could determine the "hot" paths, and optimize those for speed (translate back into non-lazy form).
