> Moreover, the culture is far less collaborative (in my experience) with a lot more competition. The thing I loved about particle physics was that everyone helps. Mathematicians give talks thanking others honestly for their contributions, and name-dropping people who helped in odd ways. That's very alien to the "We ran this clinical trial" talk I hear a lot of in my world.

That’s probably because physicists and mathematicians have less to lose by openly talking about their results and methods, while in bio research, there is a lot of proprietary secrets about lab techniques and hard-earned experiment data, which many researchers see as competitive advantage they justly reap in exchange for the labor they put into obtaining it.

I mostly use an M1 iPad Pro for personal use. I can get 90% of my personal work done on it, but not everything (e.g. I had to use my laptop for some tax filing work).

GitHub Codespaces works well enough to work on my blog but it’s not a replacement for the full dev environment I have on my laptop.

If you just had to pick one, I would go for the MacBook Air.
Tis why scientists and historians when presented with a single "fact" throw up their arms and exclaim "Well that proves it!" No point in looking for collaborating or conflicting evidence. Or, to reexamine when new technology or techniques arise.
As an un-vaccinated person, I wholeheartedly agree. Speaking for every single un-vaccinated person I know, we never expected anyone to keep wear masks or whatever because of us.
True, but such permissions don't have means to prevent a specific transaction, and this is my whole point.

i've seen variants of the article posted on HN multiple times (with no engagement). This isn't news, this is just a direction that's being proposed to be explored. Since it solves no problems (except perhaps to boost some ego?) it will not be done, so breathless articles about this are pointless.
Yeah I don't know why people persist in claiming covid is comparable to the flu when a modicum of research immediately rejects that notion. Moreover there are long-term impacts even if someone recovers from covid. It can do permanent life shortening damage in ways that getting the flu does not.

If i had to choose between getting the flu and getting covid i will choose the flu every time. Would anyone choose differently?

A Western University, teaching mostly Western students a concept created by Western persons, is not allowed to use the well-known 'Alice' and 'Bob' actors in a security context because it's 'too Western'?

They aren't claiming it's racist, nor could it be interpreted as such in the least favourable interpretation. Their 'problem' is that it's 'too Western', i.e. too White. Decolonization appears to just be the removal of White people... I don't know how I can frame that as anything other than cultural genocide.

Is there seriously any ethnic minority people who see Western names used in a security example context and honestly believe they are being oppressed by it? I can't imagine anybody doing so in good faith.

There is also the wider issue of restricted and compelled speech on University campuses - the exact places we expect to have the most intellectual freedom to explore modern issues. In the UK lecturers are forced to do "systematic bias" tests where they are given a split second to make some association, and 100% of the time the test concludes you are discriminating against a group (even if you shut your eyes and complete it randomly).

How on earth can we expect academics to come to good conclusions if we restrict their words, thoughts and ideas?
And is that wage theft as in a local manager literally stealing wages, or wage theft as in general management chronically underpaying and having explicit policies to prevent workers from using their rights, deny them health coverage, ... ?

This must vary a lot worldwide. I've always seen them with the wall the map is placed on representing 'up', which makes sense when you are looking at in a hallway, because then 'left' on the map is also left in actuality (and 'right' obviously right).
> Perhaps the root cause is an issue in the weight-on-wheel sensor inputs that the computers use to transition. The computers need to use redundant sensors so they don't all rely on the same faulty sensor, but maybe the sensors are not appropriately cross-fed or the sensor input combination logic is too different between the computers.

This would indeed explain the discrepancies between COM/MON which is what they called asynchronicity (which is a bit different from where my mind went when I read that word the first time). There was no particular fault found in the computers.

Maybe wet runway factored in a bit (or some other issue with the runway itself), but this is a common occurence around the world and this was a first on the whole 330/340 family.

> The problem with not disconnecting a computer in this situation is that bad inputs from that computer may also cause a crash. But maybe if no other computer is available to take its place the logic should be different, at least during takeoff/landing.

Yes, only thing I would add is that they failed in cascade within one second of each other, 3 seconds after main gear touching (and before the nose gear touched down):

> Three seconds after the main gear touched down, autobrake system fault was recorded on FDR. One second later, PRIM1/PRIM2/PRIM3 faults were recorded at the same time and the spoilers retracted, as the ground spoiler function was lost.

Whether all three should be allowed to be failed within one second then default back to direct law (manual) is a hard question to solve, in this precise case it seems like try again would have maybe worked? Would it always be safe to do a retry? I don't know. This is a super critical phase of flight so retrying doesn't sound safe.

Apparently they would have needed 2 functional for full autobrake:

> Ground spoilers function requires at least one functional FCPC, arming autobrake requires at least two functional FCPCs, deployment of thrust reversers require unlock signal from either FCPC1 or FCPC3

IME it's no longer an addictive kind of craving at that point, it's just a thought that went through my head. For example, "I haven't had pizza in a while, it might be nice to try a couple slices and put the rest away. I can go back to eating healthy tomorrow."

If a relapse happens, it's because I had a good experience and kept going down that train of thought but with other foods. "Hey, that reminds me, I haven't had chocolate in a while, wonder what that's like..."
Well, sort of.

Body-weight fitness, walking, jogging, running, hiking, swimming are all "free" to perform, but gear can be super expensive - take skiing, biking, water sports for example.

I recently went to a local bike shop (two in fact) and the average cost of a new modern bike is around ~$5,000.

There was one bike that I was looking at that was $15,000

I did miss it, thanks. I avoid Twitter, so browsing it on a phone makes it easy (for me) to miss how they stacked the images.

But that doesn't change much about this story: what does it matter that they note features-- already on Google's roadmap-- when they then, as their stated reason for actually buying YouTube, is as a defensive move?

Basically:
"YouTube has some nice features but we're already building them and just want the company so Yahoo can't have them."

That doesn't make this picture look any better for Google.
In Russia quad rollers (with suspension like skate's one) are almost unheard of. And rollerblades (in-line) is very popular in big cities, with schools, clubs, etc.
These two data sets were collected using completely different metrics. Therefore, they are not comparable. What's your point again?
I am a particle physicist and would like to say that Fermilab (where I'm working on one of the experiments there) and CERN don't compete. One of the best examples is the construction of DUNE which is a new experiment which will be the largest neutrino experiment so far is done between CERN and fermilab closely. The prototype is even there. Fermilab main focus is different a little bit from CERN. Also Fermilab is part of every CERN collaboration (except maybe small experiments here or there). Usually in particle physic we tend to confirm results with different experiments and sometimes different techniques and because of the nature of statistics and probabilities involved, this always encouraged collaboration and people trying to help each other. I understand that this is completely different from the competition in other fields.

Apologies, I didn't mean to suggest that the two concepts are related.

For SR, I'm looking for an answer to "why?" that only has same satisfying flavor as the sphere question. I want the same "aha!" feeling.

For example, if I stand up from the sofa and walk across the room and come back and sit down next to my friend, I want a deep intuitive sense that of course it must be the case that less time has passed for me than the amount of time that my friend has experienced. Why does this happen?

An answer like "t'=t/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) describes what happens", while correct, is not satisfying.

Similarly, if I wave my hand in front of my face, I want it to seem obvious to me that less time must have passed for my hand than for the rest of my body.

Given your experience writing the book, you must have developed an intuitive sense for the behavior of the effects of relativity and why they happen, so I am wondering how you would translate that into words for a general audience.

Imagine the context where a random person with a minimal math background at a party was to ask you why less time passes in the sofa scenario, using an actual sofa to demonstrate it.

They stand up and walk away from you and return and sit back down next to you and they want you to explain to them why less time has passed for them. They want you to explain why the room around them got shorter in the direction that they were walking.

These are effects that, while undetectably small, really happened.

They want to know why.

How would you answer their question?
Uk banks offer a wide range of mortgages. Interest rates used to be set by the government rather than the Bank of England and were a political tool until the late 90s. That added to uncertainty and pushed people to fixed mortgages. Then the era of low interest rates arrived and people were locked in to high fixed rate mortgages which had a fee to get out of.

Now there are Australian type mortgages, basically repay as quick as you can, that are variable rate plus X. Or fixed and floating, or pure fixed. It generally depends on your personal position.
Current understanding of math - that is, math taught in the tradition of Western colonial thought - is itself extremely horrific and problematic. Derrida proved that concepts such as “one”, “two”, and “addition” are inherently unstable and thus stating that 1 + 1 = 2 is not only fascist but ignores alternative schools of math developed outside of Western imperialism.
If the past is something you cannot have back, and the future is something that has not yet been given to you, then you are now - nothing more, and nothing less. You should therefore, not allow the past to discolour your now any more than you should allow fear of what may come to influence your judgement, your thoughts, and your actions.

You are a being.

Wearable computers were going to be a thing several times - look at the progression of Prof. Steve Mann's wearables[1], around the late 1990s when the Twiddler chording keyboard he's using became available and the hardware was small and light enough to be more like a big walkie talkie than a freakshow. Again with Timex Datalink watches, and things like PDAs and Palm Treos, again with Google Glass, again with early smartwatches. They were basically all wiped out by smartphones. Maybe smartwatches are in fashion again now, but maybe not.

Netbooks - the idea of a low power device which can hardly do anything. From the Asus EEE to the WebOS tablet to the One Laptop Per Child to the Chromebook. You could say the Chromebook did become the next big thing, but it's kinda been trumped by the Macbook M1 which has smallness, battery life and none of the web-only restrictions, and competing on price was always a struggle between the low-end Windows laptops and the high prices of decent Chromebook hardware. On the low-price end, Raspberry Pi came out.

Airships, they were going to be the great military air power of the WWI era but too many crashed, they were going to be the long-distance passenger and freight vehicles of the pre-WWII era, but the Hindenburg and other accidents happened, they have been going to be reinvented by Airlander (2001), Techsphere (2003), DARPA / Aeroscraft /Lockheed Martin (2009), similar work by Google Loon (2011 - 2021), Airlander with Graphene (2016), Airship do Brasil (2017), Buoyant.aero (YC 2019?), SkyCat, among others. Their intersection of cost to build and certify, lifting power or freight capacity, weather dependence, size, safety, profitable use cases despite low speed, is quite small.

Segway.

Yeah, I might know a little bit about that, but I was focusing on how bless() helped me initially learn how OO worked at all. (I was after all one of the first power users of Moose, am the original author of Moo and Role::Tiny, and (re)wrote several chunks of the Mojo::Base OO system at various points as well ;)

I'm pretty glad we've mostly standardised on the M* style these days, and Object::Pad (the cpan module that will likely eventually become the template for core OO) is still pretty familiar to users of that as well.

(the days before M* style became the default were ... "fun" ... though at least it meant we got native C3 MRO support added to the perl5 VM to support my decision to use a C3 based component model when I wrote DBIx::Class)

The joke to me seemed to be poking fun at correlation and causation.

In a literal sense, people get pets for different reasons. A lot of people get cats because they're more independent where dog owners cite "having a companion" because dogs have a closer relationship to humans through domestication.

Animals are still animals, domesticated or not. They'll get fearful or angry based on correlation of past experience just like you and I will. The only difference is that they can't explain themselves like you and I can. Anecdotally, I know my dog is terrified of fireworks, but I also know she's not gun-shy. I also know she doesn't like full face masks (like motorcycle helmets), and that she's ready to defend the house if there's a knock at the door. All of which sound relatively terrifying to the average person when she reacts to them, however, when she is actually confronted with the person on the other side of the door, the person behind the mask, or seeing the fireworks that go "bang" she'll flop on her back and ask for belly rubs.
I find that drinking after a long run or hike results in much less of a hangover the next day for the same amount of alcohol. No idea why that is.
No, it just tells you that somebody will fire the rifle at some point. This increases tension but does not really tell you much about what is going to happen except it is going to get dangerous and violent.

> A maximum of 8 pawns (4 white and 4 black, for example) can possibly be advanced over the course of the game to the opposite side (6 squares ahead from their home square).

Not so! Pawns move diagonally via capturing, which theoretically could allow white to promote all 8 pawns just in the d column, and black to promote all 8 in the e column (at the expense of various other pieces).

edit: of course, you'd run out of pieces first, but you can accomplish something similar by using multiple columns.

Sample game start that accomplishes a subset of this (2 pawns promoted from each side, 6 pawns remaining from each side):

> Thee people who camped out in Zuccoti Park in NYC during Occupy Wall Street were not rural whites.

Rural whites don’t protest. But the group of people who oppose Wall Street and the WTO and private equity are rural whites and young urbanites. If you’re trying to build a coalition to oppose those things those are the people you need to pull together (which Obama did in 2008). A study showed that over half the people who fit the profile of a “Trump Republican” (versus a Romney Republican) actually voted Democrat before 2016.

> I don't really understand the point you're trying to make here.

By moving to the left on social issues Democrats make a deliberate choice to abandon parts of their coalition opposed to fighting wealth inequality—including racial wealth inequality—and replace them with groups that benefit from and perpetuate it.

Put differently, the people who actually control the levels of systemic racism, i.e. structural economic and social disparities, have a tremendous interest in keeping minorities focused on the individual racist attitudes of rural and working class white people.
The labels and general knowledge passed from trainer to trainee insist on the reprotoxicity of the flux, which as you point appears to be at exposure levels far below toxic levels. I wonder if the safe label of boric acid for feet is made looking only at the general toxicity of the product, leaving aside potential reproductive issues that might arise with repeated use of small quantities?
I sometimes wish all the energy spent on things that aren't actually offensive (e.g. naming hurricanes) would be spent on looking at actual problems that need fixing. For all this concern and "action", we still have no real changes on the reservations. I suspect other communities have the same damn problems. Words and writing are cheap and easy to soothe some guilt, action actually requires energy and time.
You may enjoy looking at peacock and understand why he looks the way he looks at the same time.
People may assume an action is unintentional but they still check by looking at the person who made the action. Other social animals probably have the same behavior.
Don't buy "healthy food". Buy basic food.

Get raw grains, get basic non-fancy non-organic veggies. Frozen or canned is fine.

If you eat meat, don't be shy about using cheaper cuts. Trimming meat is easy.

Trainers are great, but most people get trainers to help with motivation. You can also usually snag a free or very cheap single lesson with a trainer if you need particular things (nutrition, form) spot checked.

You really don't need to spend much.
Yes, it worked because there as a direct controller to fall back to. But worryingly because two things, it wasn’t a triple failure of the redundant flight computers, is seems to point to a singular failure of the monitoring logic.

The other thing is that the report notes that the aircraft came perilously close to a disaster because it calls out other specific factors could have easily eaten up runway margin leading to a disaster.
HN mods will remove this pretty soon or flagged to death
I wonder what would have happened if they tried to go around? The TO/GA is configured ahead of time in the FMS… so if the flight computers are out, I wonder if there’s some hard-coded performance targets for the engines in a go around situation.
In other words, it's more important to ensure they don't deploy when they shouldn't, than that they do deploy when requested.
You don't pay for the house. You pay for the mortgage. The mortgage is accounted for in the CPI and man gets this tiring. The housing component of the CPI has always been 3% for decades. It's one of the few things dragging it up to 2%.

If you have a higher interest mortgage the value of the house goes down but you still have the same monthly payment.
> The real problem in your original sentence "What have these 'script-kiddies' and 'hacktivists' achieved" is that you misused the word "these".

If you had read the Gizmodo article, you would find that they mentioned that '...trolls flooded the digital tip line with everything from Shrek porn to phony tips' and linked another previously reported article which again covers the methods used to attack and flood the website, before then detailing to others about another effective way to get GoDaddy to shut down the website for ToS violations.

These sort of flooding and attacks are what can be described as script-kiddie and hacktivist behaviour as I already said before. I assumed you have at least 'read' the Gizmodo article and its links. You clearly have not.

When asked to elaborate further on your original claim of '...misusing the terms "script-kiddies" and "hacktivists"' you couldn't substantiate anything. Now you retreat to attacking another 'argument' and thinking I misused the word 'these'.

So even after bringing up more relevant links and citations to support my own claims on top of what Gizmodo already mentioned, another person who also didn't read the article now says it makes sense and then you suggest I'm defending a strawman argument?

Have I just proved that both of you just read only the title of the Gizmodo article?
I downvoted because nowhere in the article did someone suggest that calling two personas Alice and Bob was racist or colonialist. That's an extrapolation you made on your own and makes no sense.

Suggesting other names than Alice and Bob is part of a drive to use more diverse examples. Security is not just for Alice and Bob, but also for Anita and Bilal, and many others.

When does competition become anti-competitive? If I see a promising startup in my space with challenges ahead, it seems reasonable to consider many different angles, including whether I can help them succeed and whether a competitor could also help them succeed (or they could help a competitor).

Given that Y! was considering buying YouTube, the probability that a similar set of emails was written on Yahoo’s end is approximately 1.

IMO, that’s because they were also competing with Google. Is everyone in that market acting anti-competitively? What would that even mean (absent collusion)?
