> The Southwest Airline Pilots Association (SWAPA), the union representing pilots at the airline, similarly denied there was a job action — official or otherwise.

I gotta admit, when I first heard these denials I assumed that the union was cautiously not confessing to a sick-out.

But instead it seems as if disinformation is spinning current events to change perception about the Executive's new policy. Sadly, even after it's fact-checked - people won't remember the fact that it was bogus nor will they count it as a strike against the source that reported it.
Who compares against fossil plants nowadays? Except wanting to put a carbon tax on them to account for that issue you mention.

Truly, it's new built nuclear compared compared to renewables, storage and long-distance distance transmission. Spatial and temporal arbitrage of energy.
>>Seems to me like you are losing to better players and are willing to install invasive software to protect your feelings.

I mean, the personal angle is completely unnecessary here. Nowadays I only occasionally play Apex(small baby, don't have time for more) and I'd say there's cheaters in 1/10 games that I play. It's so blatant - you watch the killer's cam and the guy is clearly aiming through the wall at a target they can't see, pulling a perfect headshot the second it's possible. Like, maybe I'm not good at these games but for me, 10% of games with cheaters is "rampant".

> "there is nothing that says it can't be as accessible as you want it to be."

And there is nothing that says that it should be accessible. Which is exactly why a terminal, going by the very definition you yourself provide, is very difficult to work with from an accessibility perspective. There are simply too many degrees of freedom, allowing you to represent data in too many different ways, making it very difficult for something like a screen reader to "parse" the buffer (which can contain anything, not just text) and convert it to something meaningful.

Using a terminal, one can implement a progress bar in hundreds of different ways - and it would be impossible for a screen reader to handle all such use-cases.
> In my experience it takes will power initially, but after I reached escape velocity I no longer needed much will power.

That one hits the nail on the head. It comes down to what you consider normal. Once you get rid of a bad habit to the point it seems obnoxious both on conscious AND subconscious level it becomes very easy not to indulge.

It works more or less the same way for good habits too, I think.
And would be trivial for google, with all their content id tech
They'd have to issue a denial even if it were true. A sick-out would contravene federal labour relations law, and it would expose the pilot's association to legal penalties.

The denial by Southwest management is more interesting, since they don't have that kind of legal incentive.
Thanks for sharing! I setup a quarterly donation. This is important work.
I’ve been using SuperMemo for almost 16 years, every single day. I can’t think of a better way to guarantee that I will retain stuff outside of using some kind of algorithm to tell me when to refresh desired information. I think of it more as “computer augmented memory” rather than “I’m letting the computer think for me.” I use it in the morning to review my cards but other than that I have little interaction with it (until I add more cards, which happens during periods of down time)

I don't know if it applies in this specific instance, but I've heard in other cases that employees are not allowed to participate in official strikes without approval from their union first.

If it's not an "official" strike then no union negotiation is needed.
I flew Southwest yesterday (in California, not Florida). My flight was delayed 30 minutes, but I heard other Southwest flights at the same airport had been canceled.

This morning, Southwest sent me a customer satisfaction survey email with questions specific to flight delays. Seems like they are testing how much their brand was impacted by these problems, perhaps anticipating the delays will continue from worker action (that every denies)? If the problems truly were caused by some temporary issues that have been resolved, why would they bother surveying customers about it?
I was thinking about making a video tutorial on how to convert a React app to jQuery as a sort of satire piece but I was afraid the result might be good enough that it wouldn't come across as a joke in the end.
The question then becomes, when did things start to become this way? Was this culture always a US way of thinking or was there a time when the government and people in charge did focus on the long term benefit of its citizens?

If corruption and incompetence was the path the whole time, how do you explain the US system becoming #1 in the world? Was it a fluke and that now that we have gotten 100 years of lucky wins the luck has run out and now we have the grim reality of the US system actually being trash?

You look at FDR and how close the US population supposedly almost came to eating the elites. Around that time we finally got breadcrumbs in the form of Medicare and Social Security. Now we are seeing moves to even get rid of those programs so we are left with nothing. You can't have a society where a certain percentage is playing by the rules while everyone else is picking whatever they can on the dying carcass.
So you have a large dump that must remain secure for 200k years.

You cannot do that. There is no place on Earth that we can be sure is geologically stable over that time period.

What a selfish thing to do: Make future generations pay for our current consumption for millennia.

Theater and/or ego. Same reason for the President to fly out to an aircraft carrier just off the US coast and pose for a bunch of photos while wearing a flight suit, before giving the infamous MISSION ACCOMPLISHED speech. Or for a different world leader to ensure that photos of him shirtless on horseback make it to the media from time to time.
You know what I would love to see? The mechanical keyboard community get a hold of this.

Actually, what would be kinda cool and a bit more "practical" (in a since, at least) would be an option without any keyboard at all (plain aluminum or like plexiglass or acrylic or something) so I can use my own keyboard. I know from experience my Planck or Atreus fit on top of a normal laptop keyboard footprint, but I always feel so weird putting a mechanical keyboard on top of a laptop keyboard, damaging something or another.

Actually, I'm off to go through that into the community forum

As far as the US goes, this part isn't very true.
From my experience playing DotA 2, it does help, but it's not a magic bullet. You will have a lot less people griefing/throwing, but you'll still have a hyper-competitive atmosphere where people will shit on each other for fucking up. So trolling is rarer, griefing is rarer, but flaming is still pretty common.
Rewrites don't have to be done by sole Magpies.

I've seen a semi-large project been rewritten 4 times at G, by the whole team.

When I came I literally couldn't propose a single thing to improve (there were only things that could be traded off for something else). It was very self-respecting to work on that project (though I didn't do any of those rewrites). And I respected managers there for giving resources for it to happen.
based on description (famous, 100 years old, pooling financial assets but no proselytizing so it amounts to a tontine with a dualist story attached) sounds like the Shakers or some offshoot.
Better than having then unencrypted (unless you set a passphrase) on the filesystem for every rogue process to grab. The issue with password managers is the key is then most likely still accessible from other processes while the password manager is unlocked. On linux for example by poking around in /dev/mem or /dev/kmem. There are way that help with that like memfd_secret. A secure enclave or similar side processor avoids this issue by running within its own isolated memory and this processor also handles all key operations, so the key never enters the main memory.

I've only skimmed the memo, but it seems to be written as pure politically-motivated flame bait as opposed to a real attempt at debating anything worthwhile. Yes, D&I training is badly politically slanted but it's not like anyone was unaware of this before, all I see is the author flogging a dead horse. This is nowhere near as interesting as the Damore case was - that one was all about carefully collected evidence of how political slants were harming D&I goals, which is a much more readily actionable point.
Copenhagen Consensus
>Weather in Florida impacted flights in Las Vegas and San Diego?

The article addresses this point. Up to 50% of Southwest's lines pass through Florida:

“The big issue is that Florida is roughly 15% of our trips, but on any given day, upwards of 50% of our aircraft lines flow through Florida,” Jordan told TPG. “You’ve got all those lines that just stopped in Florida, so you’ve got a lot of aircraft caught up in that,” he said.
People on this board love the idea that anyone who isn't an engineer is an idiot and everything that everyone else does that isn't writing code is somehow worthless. In broad strokes, they think that all people who do people-facing work are charlatans that are constantly trying to hide how worthless they are because talking to people, etc. can't possibly provide value. Then, they (like so), ask you to break down your arguments so they can pin the tail on the donkey that is the logical fallacy that they will use to discount your (almost certainly correct and informed) opinion.

Unsurprisingly, those people are wrong and marketing works.
Yeah, listed some random hits for you below.

I don't personally play either game, but from what I've come across on the subject over the years, publishers seem to be a lot less difficult about it today compared to a few years ago. I recall reading about them denying a ban was due to mod use when they were wrong, being ridiculously vague about what modding was and what wasn't allowed, refusing to fully restore a player's character even after a ban was rescinded, etc.

There's a difference between repeal and reform.

Multiple executives at Facebook, including Zuckerberg, have appealed to the public and directly to Congress to reform Section 230.

Specifically, what they want is for Congress to add regulations to the CDA to clarify how they should police user speech without losing their immunity. That way they both 1) avoid liability both for their users' speech and their "speech" (a.k.a. moderation or censorship) 2) create a regulatory moat from which they can dominate their space.

This reform is something Facebook desperately needs, as they are increasingly being thrust in the middle of conflicts between their users and the government. They have been quite clear about this, so the author of this piece is being dishonest.

They have not and will never ask to repeal it.

Repealing the CDA (a.k.a "Section 230") would absolutely "stop" AND "hurt" Facebook. In fact, that's an understatement; it would destroy Facebook. It would expose them and most large internet companies to an avalanche of lawsuits and wipe out the three-sided business model of selling eyeballs to advertisers that currently powers the 'net.

Whether or not that's good for users is an open question. I don't think we know what a post-CDA internet would look like. We do know that it's possible, because there was a pre-CDA internet.

But it's a moot point. The threat of annihilation of Google, Facebook, and Twitter is exactly why the CDA will never be repealed by anything resembling the current Congress. They're too "big to fail."
Your point is excellent, but ironically (of all vehicles to pick on) Ford is coming out with an all-electric F150 next year. Which kind of makes an even more profound point: we don't need to give up our luxuries, but we do need our luxuries to become more efficient. If you switch to an electric water heater, you can enjoy your long, hot showers without worrying about carbon pricing driving up your bill.
That would be the Christian interpretation. I'm guessing the Jewish one is a little different. What Jesus actually believed on the matter (or whether it was relevant to him) is unknown. Paul thought this way. Whether Peter and James thought the same way back in Jerusalem is also unknown. It is known that the second century Jewish Christians called the Ebionities did not view Paul favorably. But the proto-orthodox believed Paul was legitimate, and they won out, in part because converting gentiles meant a lot more followers.
Deflation benefits the rich. They have lots of money that gets to appreciate. You're just turning money into housing or Bitcoin. Something the rich speculate with to the detriment of the less wealthy.
These were the bits I found the most interesting which led to issues.

> “Flight delays and cancellations occurred for a few hours Friday afternoon due to widespread severe weather, military training, and limited staffing in one area of the Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center,”

> “The big issue is that Florida is roughly 15% of our trips, but on any given day, upwards of 50% of our aircraft lines flow through Florida,” Jordan told TPG. “You’ve got all those lines that just stopped in Florida, so you’ve got a lot of aircraft caught up in that,”

> “We’re not hub and spoke, and we do very little out-and-back,” Jordan said. “So when you stop a line, you’re stopping a line where the aircraft is attempting to flow across the country.”
I'm never certain whether I'm just imagining this, but you look out the window of an airplane at 30,000+ feet, and the sky isn't as blue as it is at ground level. And even standing on top of the kind of mountain an average person can climb - I made it to the crater plateau, but not the summit of Kilimanjaro (altitude issues) - and realizing that every breath you take has only half as much air in it as you're used to - makes you realize just how thin this atmosphere is.

France has just made an offer to build 4-6 such reactors in Poland. I really hope our government takes the deal, cause we need nuclear power. Even if it also ends up over-budget and over-schedule that's still good thing to have such modern reactors.
The union is denying there is an official action... and my understanding is it would be illegal for the union members to organize a walkout like this since it jeopardizes the public.

My take is that both Musk and Bezos are megalomaniacs. However, Musk at least _appears_ to genuinely care about space travel and it's implications for the future of humanity.

For Bezos, it's just a dick measuring contest (and apparently influences his phallic rocket ship designs).

Anecdotally I don't know a single licensed pilot who is antivaccine. They generally all have a high degree of respect for science and engineering. The idea that masses of southwest pilots suddenly decided to "sick out" to protest a vaccine mandate is laughable. I would bet good money that the vaccination rate among Southwest pilots is probably 85%+.
Areas around coal power plants can exceed radioactivity limits for nuclear power plants, due to trace elements in the soot landing back down. Never mind all the other stuff.

If you interact with some top tier wealthy people, 0.9% wealthy to the 0.01%, you really quickly see that they have very little understanding of a number of issues that "middle-class" people face (let's ignore that "middle-class" is insanely broad, for the sake of the uber-wealthy, middle class is basically the 1% and poorer).

They often have a hyper inflated sense of individual accomplishment; they're usually "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" people (while unaware of the true meaning of that phrase) and they usually despise any attack on their sense of control, including the narrative that they are "self-made".

They generally have a remarkably homogeneous set of values and promote the same sets of policies and programs on a national scale. They use their influence to tip the scales on a very select group of issues and "personal interest" problems, but they also espouse broadly libertarian approaches to their holdings and wealth, all while insisting they are remaining apolitical.

What they do for PR stunts is usually belied by large scale tax evasion, extremely intensive lobbying, aggressive litigation, and monopolistic capture of whole markets if need be to protect their wealth. Many of which is of questionable legality, but perhaps of even more questionable morality and ethics.

One thing to keep in mind is that there's a fundamental difference between gambling and speculating on assets, cryptocurrency or otherwise. With gambling, the payout odds and real odds of a game are known, and you have to pay per play, which means a guaranteed loss rate. With speculation, no money is actually lost in the process, only when you've decided to end it, and "turns" do not have defined terms.

This might sound like a trivial difference but it is not. You actually can make money speculating.

Many of the behavioral patterns though are the same. People do get addicted to speculating and trading, and mostly with negative consequences, particularly if they do not learn as they go and rely on pseudo superstitious beliefs and truisms, which most traders do.
