The Monino Airfield [1], north of Moscow, has a Tu-144 [2] on display. You can walk right up to it, but can't physically get in it.

Monino is one of the more amazing aviation museums I have seen. There are some extremely rare aircraft on display, including my favorite, a Mil V-12 [3]

You can hire a former pilot who was stationed at the base to give you a tour. They can speak some English, but if you speak a little bit of Russian the stories become a lot more interesting!

People play games not because of the medium, but the content. So just making a game would seem pointless, it has to be a very engaging game, and frankly speaking this one looks pretty bland. Is the idea that kids should play this on their free time, just for fun, or as part of their studies?

Agreed. When things get bad, there's going to huge pressure on politicians to do something, and at that point there's probably not going to be any good answers. Geoengineering is risky, especially if it's rushed, but it's within the means of many of the countries that will be worst affected by climate change. Even if it has a very low chance of working and a high chance of worsening the situation for everyone, I'm sure at least one political leader is going to pull the trigger when they've got an angry mob beating down their door demanding action.

It's important to read the limitations section if you are wondering why your doctor wont proscribe it just yet. With 50 people in each randomized group and 3 people hospitalized in total its possible that the groups weren't identical.

> A limitation of this study would be that the compliance of the patients has not been monitored and drug plasma concentration was not measured. Moreover, we did not collect follow-up information from patients on the potential use of self-medications that might have interfered with the outcomes. It is also worth mentioning that these subjects undertook the PCR test not because they had any symptoms but rather because they had a suspicion that they may have come in contact with a SARS-CoV-2-positive subject. Typically, in Lebanon, subjects who come in contact with a suspected SARS-CoV-2-positive individual refer to the laboratory for a PCR test within 4–7 days. Hence, while it is impossible to confirm when exactly they may have had exposure to the virus, the test is usually taken within the early phase of the potential infection.

I always find myself looking at the uber successful and thinking: "society is discounting the possibility of them being frauds"

In the end only them know if they broke the laws or not, but for sure it's not the 0% which society implies.

Trump has been mentioned and the consensus around him is pretty high that he committed white collar crimes, but at the same time I think that the intelligencia pricing Obama's possibility of white collar crimes at 0% is too low.

Same goes for the elite of the elite in business:

Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin...only them know what they did, and if something about them emerges it should be received as a surprise ....but not that huge of a surprise if you get what I mean.

Musk we know that he has repeatedly violated securities laws, but for sure there is much more brewing below the surface that we don't know of.
csh's initial release was 2 years after emacs.
Some of the numbers in the tables seem strange to me. Looking at the participants, it is hard to understand how the mean and sd of the ages and age distributions can be exactly the same. Moreover, apparently the odds of being hospitalized are 160-times greater for vaccinated vs unvaccinated second infection individuals. Perhaps the dramatic differences are due to very low numbers - I did not see the raw numbers for symptomatic infection and hospitalization. But if I were reviewing this paper, I would wonder how they got their age distributions to match so closely.
What response did it give? Where does the anecdote come from?
Why? Prison contracts are big business. I've seen even small prisons with giant x-ray body scanners (the kind that were removed from airports, actually not those but more serious ones where you stand on a conveyor belt and your exposure is a full 3-5 seconds).

A mass spectrometer of the type they use at airports for explosives, can be used for drugs and easily acquired by any prison.
I one hundred percent concur with you. Look at how many DIA 1Gbps symmetric customers you can fit in one 10GbE transport circuit around a city, before the daily sine wave traffic chart starts peaking at 7Gbps. Hint: it's a hell of a lot more than ten.

Congrats to the author.
This is not a valid comparison because you're using the case fatality rate (1.8%), and case means symptomatic illness (a majority of infections are not symptomatic). A fair comparison would use the infection fatality rate (IFR), which is the risk of death after being infected.

Recent meta analyses estimate a global average IFR of ~0.15% [1], which is extremely biased by age. All age stratified IFRs show risk that decreases by orders of magnitude with age. We're talking IFRs below 0.003% for healthy young adults and children [2][3].

I'm not advocating against vaccination, just illustrating that the risk-reward profile is different for everyone based on their age and health. If you want to derive useful probabilistic risk estimates, there are many complex factors to consider.

The CFR (case fatality rate) is based on the number of reported cases, which falls short of the total number of incident cases.

The countries with the lowest CFR consistently report about 0.1% CFR. These countries also have the best surveillance, and this is likely near the actual IFR (incidence fatality rate).

The adjusted difference is closer to a 100x benefit for vaccination than a 1,000x. Both are of course immense improvements over no vaccination, at minimal risk.
This presumably doesn't apply to the web app, which is the only way I've used Zoom.
FTA:

"Since the turn of the millennium, the prosecution of white-collar crime has plummeted—but this should not imply a surge in moralism among our leading capitalists. After the attacks of September 11th, the F.B.I. began to shift resources toward counterterrorism. Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers cut the budget of the Internal Revenue Service so sharply that it had the same number of special agents in 2017 as it had half a century earlier, even though the national population has grown by two-thirds."
> Not all history is important to keep alive. You don't see people firing up coal fire steam engines in their back yard.

Actually, people do! I'm pretty grateful that people keep old steam engines going. The context of where we've been and how we've gotten here is important.
> The people responsible for the failed design and build should be blacklisted from future projects of this kind, that is where most injustice usually manifests in failures like this.

...no, they should be jailed, likely for life, because they knew exactly what they were doing.

Capitalism apologists prove they know no bounds, time and time again. Really exited to get to watch the incoming century of collapsing skyscrapers because of skirted regulations. Deaths will pile high and no consequences will be had.
That is a wholly other set of language features, for a different purpose, and is thus no substitute.

No it doesn't. There are O(100) deaths from O(1 billion) vaccinations. That's about 100000x lower risk than from Covid itself, not just 10-25x.

Somewhat related. While Concorde flew supersonic, the air which entered the engine needed to enter at subsonic speeds. They needed to slow the air using flaps in a very short distance. This was done by the Air Intake Control Units (AICU). Originally Concorde used an analogue computer in the prototypes. The analogue computer wasn't accurate enough for smooth flight. In the end, a fully digital solution was created at short notice by the rather grandly named "Guided Weapons Division" of the "Electronics and Space Systems Group" at BAC. Here's a pic of the unit:

All done in the early 70s. These units started to fail in the 90s and they had to bring folks out of retirement to produce new units.

The Soviets struggled to crack this aspect and apparently approached UK Gov to license the tech. Unsurprisingly UK Gov said no as the tech was classified as it could be used by military aircraft too.

> The AP pegs the average mortality rate at 1.8% for COVID-19, or 1 out of 55 cases.

This is nowhere near correct. The global median IFR for Covid-19 is somewhere around 0.3%. It varies substantially by region, but 1.8% is far higher than even the highest legitimate estimate.

I think getting killed is a serious risk in every prison in America. Even in the minimum security facilities where people serve sentences for non-violent crimes.
Key phrase: "at this point".
I’m hoping peer pressure from Google will push Apple to find the “courage” to undo its mistake[1] and restore the headphone jack on new models.

[1]: Removing the headphone jack was a mistake because:

1) Every smartphone has built in speakers and a microphone so the components have always been there to support a headphone jack. Restoring it is a wiring change.

2) Removing the jack required another set of components (DAC, ADC, amplifiers) to use wired or wireless headphones.

3) Wired headphones usable with a jackless phone require those components to be embedded in the cable, rendering those headphones useless for other audio devices.

4) Supporting traditional headphones requires an easily misplaced adapter dongle to host those components.

5) Embedding such components in the cable seems like a bad idea because cables tend to wear out before the devices they connect.

4) If the Lightning, micro USB, or USB-C port is used for headphones, it can’t be used to charge or sync at the same time without yet another adapter (or inductive charging, yay more complexity).

5) The headphone jack is the simplest audio connector. Removing it didn’t solve any problems, it just created new ones.
Sounds easily gamed. Can't you just use cash at the casino?

I suppose I'm assuming rational actors though - downrating people for having casino payments on their card might still make statistical sense.

One of the reasons why this happens is money and specifically money from pension funds. The largest pension funds nearly all have "morality clauses" with them and won't invest with an entity that goes against that.

The other portion of this is the hassle of dealing with the adult industry in terms of politics. You can Google to see how the news articles came out claiming PornHub was being used for pornographic material related to children. Visa & Mastercard from public pressure revoked their ability to process any payments on that site. Canadian House of Commons Ethics Committee did hearings against the company. Nobody wants that kind of attention.
Irrelevant. What appeared to work temporarily in Slovakia last year has no bearing on management of the more contagious Delta variant. Community transmission in most countries is so widespread now that there's simply no practical way to isolate so many people. It's just too late for that to work.
I've found myself accomplishing "referential accessibility" for ebooks by simply picking out a few words from the start of a sentence and asking someone to search for it. Unlike page numbers, they are consistent across multiple printings, and can point to a specific location much more easily (second sentence in the third paragraph on page 231 is terrible). Overall, it seems to work reasonably well.
> It being obvious that people wouldn't want tickets because it's unpleasant (1), and operating being expensive because it's unreliable(2) were contributing factors in it being uneconomical.

Summary of the studies mentioned in the article:

- An experiment to look at the effects of walking on creative thinking done by Marilyn Oppezzo, a Stanford University psychologist and her Ph.D. advisor: A group of Stanford students were asked to list as many creative uses for common objects as they could. A Frisbee, for example, can be used as a dog toy, but it can also be used as a hat, a plate, a bird bath, or a small shovel. The more novel uses a student listed, the higher the creativity score. Half the students sat for an hour before they were given their test. The others walked on a treadmill. The results were staggering. Creativity scores improved by 60 percent after a walk.

- Michelle Voss, a University of Iowa psychology professor, studied the effects of walking on brain connectivity. She recruited 65 couch-potato volunteers aged 55 to 80 and imaged their brains in an MRI machine. For the next year, half of her volunteers took 40-minute walks three times a week. The other participants kept spending their days watching Golden Girls reruns and only participated in stretching exercises as a control. After a year, Voss put everyone back in the MRI machine and imaged their brains again. Not much had happened to the control group, but the walkers had significantly improved connectivity in regions of the brain understood to play an important role in our ability to think creatively.

- Jennifer Weuve of Boston University’s School of Public Health studied the relationship between walking and cognitive decline in 18,766 women aged 70 to 81. Her team asked them to name as many animals as they could in one minute. Those who walked regularly recalled more penguins, pandas, and pangolins than the women who were less mobile. Weuve then read a series of numbers and asked the women to repeat them in reverse order. Those who walked regularly performed the task much better than those who didn’t.

The author notes at the end that correlation does not equal causation. He says that perhaps the arrow of causality was pointing in the wrong direction. Maybe mentally active people were simply more likely to go for a walk. Researchers had to dive deeper.

> 2) Cold emails which obviously were sent to thousands with a canned message or a pitch completely foreign to your competence.

Just out of curiosity, especially in UK there seem to be companies that scrape CVs from job web sites, feed all the addresses into databases, and send these indiscriminate emails if a few keywords match. And if one responds, they ask for a telephone call and might call dozens of times.

At some point, I was actually wondering whether it would be possible to automatically get phone numbers of that kind of people into said CV data bases (with an obviously useless auto-generated CV that however has matching keywords).
Possibly - if you survive it.

Some people become police after failing to qualify for the military. Salary can't be their only motivation.
There are limitations there though. E.g. if a broad warrant to reconstruct all your messages were issued, Apple would refuse to honor it, if only due to technical infeasibility. It's one thing to execute a warrant for "data of suspect A" and another thing to execute a warrant for "access the iCloud backups of every single person who has it enabled, decrypt their backed up messages, and return any message that was received from or sent to suspect A".

On the other hand the government could certainly find a specific individual they know you've messaged with, and execute a warrant specifically for their conversations with you.
No problem. The US also has antitrust legislation that applies to US companies operating in foreign countries, as well as a myriad of antitrust treaties and agreements with other nations. It might be worth it to also report it to the government of the country you reside in, as well.
I kinda see the point though. State management is bundled with frontend development in such a way that even for simple projects it almost seems like necessity for most people.

Don't use things that you are not hundred percent sure you need. Blockchain is a robust solution for high complex state management issues but most people will never end up using it for its full potential. Even if you did there often are alternatives that performs much better for your need.

People will try to bend their projects to meet the blockchain need rather than just use it when you need to use it.

I watched it a while ago and I'm not motivated to re-watch it, but I remember the idea that Starlink needs to launch tens of thousands of satellites upfront. They don't. They can wait until they have demonstrated customer demand, then incrementally launch just enough satellites to service that demand. This dramatically reduces the financial risk of the system.
