For the US, there's no such thing as private property rights to airspace, and all the laws controlling airspace are exclusively federal. There can be temporary and permanent flight restrictions for events or protected areas, and there are restrictions about flying too close to buildings when operating manned aircraft that don't apply to drones (the opposite, in fact, you can fly at higher altitudes if you are close to a building). Now you can get busted for flying in an unsafe manner, harassment, or any number of privacy violations, but not trespassing.

To make matters confusing, there are "air rights," but those have to do with zoning and how tall a building can be made. Nothing to do with flying.
This is one solid behavioral tactic. Good to have in the toolbox for most people. Lot more to it than this!
That's completely inaccurate. PCR tests were specific for only Covid. They were extremely good at covid identification. A recent "recall" of PCR testing protocol was to introduce a new test that could perform identification of both Covid and/or flu.

Snowden was far from the first to publicise NSA surveillance.

Snowden documented that surveillance in vastly more detail than had been done before, and deserves the thanks of citizens of the US and world for doing so.

Unlikely, but they probably could for under $10k. The expensive part is the long-distance high-bandwidth radio system. The aircraft itself is trivially easy, assuming it's a liquid-fueled fixed-wing craft.

You'll notice I used the word "basic" above to imply a starter or hobbyist capability.
I signed up within the first few hours of beta announcement. Still haven't got it.

I understand they want to get it "right" before opening up to the majority, but project management isn't something a business can sit and wait. People have to use some other tool in the mean time, and once having invested time and effort they won't switch back easily.
Okay lets talk big picture the way I see it.
Two companies that run Majority of the phones worldwide, wants to stiffle competition. There is an App which I want to use on iOS but since it doesn’t follow iOS design guidelines its not allowed on appstore, the dev submitted and appealed several times.
To be fair he cannot adhere to design guidelin because its a garmin glass cockilpit addon for flight simulator which is not an IOS design. Despite several appeals, he cant get thru the support. Sure big names get credit for supporting the BIG2, but what about the developers like this case?
like many others, delaying until Apple stops scanning my personal data, especially on the cpu I bought and paid for.

The article at your link is very old, and almost none of it is still correct today.

> Clearly people have some rights to the space over their property.

According to the federal government, they do not.

> Case law isn't well established but, outside of airport landing rights, the consensus seems to be something like 400 feet which is in general uncontrolled airspace

Incidentally, 400’ is the maximum height a UAS may fly under 14 USC 107 without special authorization.

> But if a drone starts poking around at low altitude over my property, it will definitely be skeet shooting practice time (on a rural property)

As “drones” are considered aircraft under federal law, shooting at them is a federal crime:

>If they killed someone every 1,000,000 miles well there would be piles of bodies from these systems.

If they killed someone every 10,000,000 miles, they would still be "drastically worse" than the average driver - virtually an order of magnitude.

But these are made up numbers. What data is there to work with? It seems like disengagement numbers from testing are on the order of 10-20K miles.

This article says that "everyone hates" these statistics and people claim they are easy to game:

https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/26/21142685/california-dmv-s...

But that doesn't matter, in my opinion, for our discussion, because even if they are gamed to the hilt, they provide a relevant upper bound of what is possible for self-driving in the best possible environments.

I don't know if you can see it my way, but I think switching to a safety driver, aka disengagements, are what we need to be comparing to fatal accidents, if the context is transporting people incapable of monitoring, let alone driving.

I am willing to estimate the worst habitual drunk drivers may well cause a fatal accident roughly every 100K miles. That's really bad!

But I seriously think that it would be foolhardy to plan on self-driving vehicles helping, when they punt about ten times as often as the worst drunks.

Sure, there is some uncertainty, not every disengagement has to be a fatality, but as a matter of public policy, nobody should be betting thousands of lives on that just because they would like it to be true.

Comparing fatalities of a self driving system combined with a safety driver, with fatalities of drunk drivers alone, is just not valid.

Unless you evaluate the drunks with a safety driver at dual controls as well.

Something I can't judge, and you will probably have an opinion on, is how much "low hanging fruit" remains with current approaches to self-driving. If we were to agree that it needs to be ten or a hundred times better to be better than the worst drunks, can that be done without a radical revolution in the technology, through incremental refinement? I'm skeptical, I think we probably are at least past the proverbial easy 80%, but don't have specific reasoning for that.

"Blue", "Not guilty" and e.g. "House Master" are ENTIRELY fundamentally different types of concepts and there's no reason to much compare them.

Different cultures call different things blue, and some don't even have blue. Frequently subjective.

"Guilty," as you are likely using it -- is emphatically not an objective description of an event that happened in the real world. It is a description of a judge or jury's best evaluation of such given certain evidence. Again, also subjective.

The principle that I think you're invoking is something like "prescriptive" (as opposed to descriptive) language, which tends to be useless at best and a dangerous tool that keeps powerful people powerful at worst.
I use the NS approach too at the moment, it does feel like the natural way to do it with DNS. One downside is if your cloud provider charges per zone you end up paying for twice as many zones.

Oh yes, let's look at the modern company and how "peer recognition" works.

First 30 minutes of a meeting: CEO runs his mouth about random company shit, spits out the new workplace catchphrases he learned at whatever business leadership summer camp he went to, and pats everyone on their heads for being good girls and boys.

Next 20 minutes is awards time, sleezeball sales director stands in front of everyone and hands out awards with cash prizes to salespeople who have already been overcompensated for their work.

Maybe sprinkle in 5 minute segments in here and there, for managers and directors to pat their secretaries and underlings on the head for rising "above and beyond."

Meanwhile, the people who actually BUILT the product the company relies on to make money sit there, twiddling their thumbs, waiting for personal recognition that will never ever happen.

Fuck that. I can't eat recognition, it won't pay my medical bills, and it won't fund my kids' college tuition. Either pay me or shut the fuck up and stop wasting our time.

He told the tail something along the lines of "He's pulled over on the side of the road? He has meth shit in the back!"

Up until that day I had no idea what he was dealing, but he was obviously a drug dealer; every week a cadre of scummy looking people would meet him in the cafe and give him their burner phones, he'd toss the phones into his backpack and give them all new ones.

This story has way more ridiculousness to it, especially from that particular day... maybe for another time.

Healthcare workers in many U.S. states are required to have vaccines for a variety of infections, including hepatitis, influenza, MM&R, etc., as a condition of their presence (and employment) in healthcare facilities. [1] Social and financial penalties for refusal to accept vaccines are not a novel situation for healthcare professionals.

The only difference with COVID is that 375,000 people died last year in the U.S. because of it. It is a pandemic. There are three vaccines that have been granted authorization by the FDA for COVID that have also been shown in preliminary studies to be safe and efficacious.[2]

Further, why would the hypothetical doctor, whose "natural immunity is more protective than current, non-sterilizing intramuscular vaccines" additionally need the "upcoming nasal vaccine with sterilizing immunity"?

If you build a basic quadcopter yourself you can even include everything for $1000. This would buy you a fun hobbyist FPV rig, although it wouldn't have the range, speed, or endurance of the drone in the article. For that you'd have to pay more, but even then we're talking "serious hobbyist" money, not "nation-state" money.
The difference is that discrimination based on race is unjust, while discrimination based on vaccination status is just. I'll let you work out why.
Also known as "DNS challenge delegation".

I have this implemented (with help) for the libdns plugin for DuckDNS, which can be used with Caddy. https://github.com/caddy-dns/duckdns#challenge-delegation

So basically, you can use a free https://www.duckdns.org/ domain to solve DNS challenges, for your domain which may be managed by any other DNS provider.

I do this with my domain I have registered with Google Domains, because they have no API at all right now.
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.
Worked on an app for a manufacturing company. Took literally 3 hours to run. Brought it down to under 3 seconds, for the exact same thing. 3 seconds made them very, very, very happy with the UX. At 3 hours run time, it really f-cked up the assembly line, like, a lot.

The speedup happened on the exact same computer - same CPU, same memory, same hard drive. So it had zero to do with hardware, and everything to do with coding. And if you threw faster, better hardware at the problem, it would not change anything for shit.

So never depend on the false hope hardware will solve shitty software design issues. The whole idea that it is cheaper to code fast to get something out fast is bogus. It just takes knowledge on how to do it correctly in the first place. I don't think the coding that I did took any longer than the original coding. The original person just sucked ass.

So, whatever language you code in, you should start watching videos or reading articles on how to maximize your application's speed. It usually is not that difficult, if you spend some time. Most of it you can copy and paste. Do searches on "Top 5 ways to speed up x language". So easy.

That really drilled the lesson home on the importance of the approach to making real fast systems on the design side and not on the hardware side.
Interesting idea.

For myself it's a combination of morals as well as the fact that I've simply become so depressed due to my current place of work that I don't think I have the capability to engage in the prep work, never mind that particular type of interview itself.

To lend some credence to the former (the morals) - I have succeeded at leetcode hazefests in the past. I've worked at two mega-cap tech companies, and the last time I seriously interviewed (half a decade ago...) I was successful at multiple companies (all of which took each and every interview session from a page of leetcode, or if I was really "lucky", CtCI)

So I expect if I could get over the depression (not likely) I could probably prepare and maybe even succeed. But even then I don't think it's something I'm willing to give on, even though the rewards for myself would likely be substantial.

(Similarly, I also refuse to interview candidates at my current employer, as they insist on the same thing)

I believe that almost all floating point instructions on the Pentium Pro had the same performance whether you were using the x87 FPU in 32-bit, 64-bit or 80-bit mode, so it's probably more fair to compare ASCI Red against the fp64 performance of today's GPUs. NVIDIA usually doesn't let the consumer GeForce parts get anywhere near 1 TFLOPS for double-precision. You have to look at some of their Titan or datacenter GPUs to get that kind of double-precision performance.
Peer recognition is great for the things I do in my own time, but when I'm trading my time for money on a job, I expect to be paid with money, not kudos.
The parasites ivermectin treats don’t cause itching as far as I can tell. And the most common infection with the symptom, pinworm infection[0] isn’t treated with it. I’d also be careful with scaling medication just by weight. Just because that’s how it’s often done in humans, it doesn’t work across species, because it usually depends on some enzyme’s activity levels, and they can vastly differ. That’s why almonds kill dogs, for example.

Games in general suffer from the fact that more technology does not necessarily lead to better visual - or narrative - outcomes. There was a period of time where every game engine producer was very excited about their engine's ability to render hair and I dunno if there are many games where the quality of the hair rendering has been a factor in the graphics. "More realism" runs up against the hard truth that these games are being projected on a 2D screen and can't be realistic. And even if it was, there still needs to be a justification for why that is better - it isn't self evident that more realistic graphics is a batter outcome. The real world is pretty boring, that is why people are playing games.

Read Robert Boice (Advice for New Faculty) and take his research to heart.

I can't recommend workflows; they all depend on your personality and habits. To get my dissertation done I wrote a $25 check (don't laugh, on $18k/year that was real money) to the main political party not of my choice and promised everyone I'd send it on the day I didn't do a page of honest writing on the dissertation draft. Worked better than any of the tools above.

Whatever tools you use: start before you are ready, stop before you feel done, wait patiently, and reach out to get feedback early.
That would likely be a diversion from the actual culprits.

This whole article is too long. If you want to remember something while you read, the only advice is simply to take notes as you read. If you are on a paper book, you could take notes directly on the paper. For digital reading, use a wiki system or any kind of note taking tool to grab interesting points of what you read before you forget them. And re-read your notes on a regular basis.

Immunity acquired through vaccination or natural infection helps prevent severe illness, which is likely to reduce the risk of damage to areas of the brain responsible for smell and taste [1][2].

AFAIK, there is currently no scientific evidence supporting the idea that mRNA vaccines uniquely "treat or cure long COVID" through other mechanisms.

If one _must_ take a vaccine to satisfy a legal mandate, one would prefer a vaccine that provides sterilizing immunity, i.e. a permanent solution, rather than years of variant-specific booster shots with temporary, non-sterilizing immunity.

From a recent publication by UK SAGE, https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/long-term-evoluti...

> Whilst we feel that current vaccines are excellent for reducing the risk of hospital admission and disease, we propose that research be focused on vaccines that also induce high and durable levels of mucosal immunity in order to reduce infection of and transmission from vaccinated individuals. This could also reduce the possibility of variant selection in vaccinated individuals.

A short article on nasal vaccines, https://www.statnews.com/2021/08/10/covid-intranasal-vaccine...

> Vaccines that are injected into the arm have done a spectacular job at preventing severe disease and death. But they do not generate the kind of protection in the nasal passages that would be needed to block all infection. That’s called “sterilizing immunity.” The fact that the vaccines don’t block all infections and don’t prevent vaccinated people from transmitting isn’t a big surprise, said Kathryn Edwards, a vaccine expert at Vanderbilt School of Medicine.

The MMR vaccine is sterilizing, there are no booster subscription plans required. It is unfortunate that hundreds of millions of people now have category confusion where they mistakenly equate rushed, temporary, tactical vaccines (focused on symptom and mortality reduction) with proven vaccines (like MMR) that provide long-term immunity and have many years of safety data.
It usually happens automatically, but obviously not this time. That makes it very hard to think about it, because it mostly works.
