That's exactly the problem. There's a ton of single-purpose and "relatively dumb" systems that need to be enabled and disabled as needed.

Plenty of accidents follow similar patters: pilots forgot to enable some warning system, or ignored a warning because it came up in the wrong context, or where overwhelmed by the amount of checklists they had to do or by multiple alarms coming up at the same time.

There is no monitoring system that is aware of the full context, including the state of the plane, the history of previous warnings or malfunctions and the intentions of the pilots.

These stats sorta disprove the OPs comment, but I think these stats kinda bury how a lot of personal flight time is also for currency and flight training, as a lot of pilots schedule personal trips to maintain their currency.

Also to note is that a lot of General Aviation is a pipeline for airline pilots and in countries where there is not such a strong general aviation industry there are higher accident rates.

Worth watching this interview too 'Paul McCartney Breaks Down His Most Iconic Songs' - https://youtu.be/u97_inloBmY?t=74

Paul McCartney says one day he woke up and had the melody to Yesterday in his head.

He says that some musicians dream about music but don't remember it when they wake up. For him he was able to remember and block out chords.

For me that is what a musician does - 'dreaming awake'.

Very interesting work, thanks for the link! We actually missed it among the references in our paper [1] and will correct this in the journal version. Regarding the differences, lsh has an interactive mode but not sshell. On the other hand, sshell compile to native (to support massively parallel calls), and IPCs between such calls (thanks to the DSO layer).

Reading up on the Rust spec and concepts is fairly trivial compared to letting a lot of devices and their drivers interface each other. I don't think Rust inclusion will change that however. Time will tell, but your response is rather childish.

The fundamental problem is that there is no separation of powers between the government and the judiciary as you might find in most (all?) modern democracies. The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) acts as the governments lawyers and the prosecution service. Most of the accusers in the trial of Alex Salmond, for which he was acquitted on all charges, are close associates of the leadership of the Scottish National Party which are currently in power in the devolved parliament. The risks are clear and obvious.
Yeah that judgement was crazy. It has been spun as being about protecting the identity of victims of sexual offences, but I don't believe that for a moment because the judgement contained a detailed account of how you could find the accusers from Murray's articles. So I personally had no idea who they were when I read his article originally, but it was easy to figure out from the judgement. If what they cared about was protecting the identities, the judgement would never have been written that way.
The best way I’ve found to spend less time on YouTube is realizing that the vast majority of content is pure garbage and just stay the hell away from it. These days I only visit it when I need something specific (a tutorial on how to do a particular thing, a video the kid wants to watch, etc). And of course uBlock origin is enabled to spare me from the “unskippable ads that are longer than the video itself” experience.

It's a small market with a few big very successful companies leading the way and then the smaller companies imitating as many of their practices as possible. In Sweden the biggest one of them would be Spotify and Klarna both have had IQ tests as part of standard hiring for some time, not so sure Spotify still do but definitely a few years back and there's a lag before the medium sized companies pick up on the changes.

For the record, hiring is hard, no company seems to have got it right. Think IQ tests probably says more than someone being forced to nervously scribble down bubble sort on blackboard or estimating how many water melons there are in pakistan. None of these obviously says anything compared to working with someone for a week.

edit: People are different, if it was as simple as evaluating a conversation it wouldn't be a very hard problem.

Agree. I think this is thanks to many journalists who don't even need to explain or justify their thought process anymore.

This article offers a highly accessible and simplified construct that allows anyone without the need for causality to feel "informed" and formulate an opinion.

This same country almost just passed a cannabis legalization referendum.

It brings to mind episode 8 from season 2 of Silicon Valley:

> When Jian Yang nonchalantly reveals Monica’s smoker status to one of her co-workers, Erlich scolds him. “This is Palo Alto,” he begins. “People are lunatics about smoking! We do not have the freedoms you have in China!” Sure enough, Laurie corners Monica at the end of the day to perform an “anti-smoking intervention” complete with stuffed animals and the now-immortal line, “No one ever died from secondhand heroin.”

I thought it was bad but it is actually worse. Maybe accessibility is the argument to make, because my prayers always fell upon deaf ears.
There's a difference between a phone call, and an emergency phone call. The documentation for the ACTION_CALL intent even says that emergency calls won't work for the intent.

Android already differentiates between normal calls and emergency calls. Normal will be intercepted, emergency shouldn't be. And an emergency call is required to still work even if a SIM card is not present in your device.

It's not really pro-competition. It's pro-competitors-who-maximize-employment-and-tax-revenue.

"We will back your participation in this "competition" only as long as your participation furthers our preconceived objectives about how the world and society and economy should work."

It stems from the idea that being an FTE at one place for a long time (and not really having any class mobility) is a good and decent thing to encourage for most of your society. Stability above upside.

It's the root cause of why the USA has a startup culture and Europe does not.

It's fine if that is your belief, but to pretend that it's "competition" when they have their thumb on the scale tilting it toward a specific social ideology is a bit disingenuous.
"Red flags" and all - the world is in a total state of disarray right now.

Companies are insular enviroments (reflected in another popular thread today) that operate by dogma and will happily march to their deaths while not achieving real change to how things are done internally.

People posting their PI on their own in public is however not something the GDPR really covers and so would not affect a forum operator. Leaking users email addresses is another thing of course, but was undesirable before there was GDPR. (Though it might be totally possible to run a forum without requiring email if one is really worried)

You are not wrong though that running forums or any website with user generated content is becoming increasingly difficult for individuals, though the real culprits here on EU level are the recent copyright reform which requires you to remove infringing content quickly and the upcoming Anti-Terror regulation which requires removing content in one hour. Though it might be true, that many of these laws might be toothless against individuals or non-profits, even though they do not specially exclude them. But it really seems lawmakers don't think much of the internet beyond facebook, twitter and google.

You should NEVER upgrade to a new android release before the mandatory 6 months of bug fixes.

>Can someone here enlighten me how a default can be "contagious"?

1 persons income is another person's spending. Why would evergrande default anyway? Did they over lever? Definitely, but also their underlying revenues dried up. The war with china is feeling it's effects now.

Now that evergrande has defaulted, it means others who needed their money to pay their debts also can't. Afterall, many of them also will be feeling the pain that evergrande is feeling. The war with china didn't target evergrande, they are just the most levered and large enough to realize the pain.

The irony of it all, this is capitalist china that's hurting, but China needs capitalist china. If you excluded taiwan, HK, and the other capitalist china zones, china is far worse than greece. They'd have to cut so much that the peasants suddenly are living much worse. Peasant revolt incoming.

China's government is significantly more autocratic, though, which lets them do things like unilaterally pay out all of the creditors of a failed company using printed money.

Or alternately, order strategic companies to not fail and in fact be successful.

I'm not saying that's necessarily the best option but with that fine grained control over their economy, plus statistically some of the smartest humans who ever lived on the planet playing on their team, I'd be surprised if China's current power structure doesn't ride this out.

This is a very simplistic view. I live in Austria. Believe me - houses are built very differently here. There are strict and severe regulations, governing the safety of the building, low energy consumption. Therefore houses are expensive. But they are built to last for generations. And I am not talking about the requirement of building a sturdier structure because of more cold weather conditions.

This is in stark contrast to the private houses I know of the US which may be even hauled from A to B and in my perception are more of cardboard-quality.

Can you provide any citation to the contrary?

Well, I guess there's the issue. You think there's very little value in it. I think there's much more than you do, though I agree it's certainly a subjective measure. I say that any of the 3 archetypes that you might "test out" as would give a potential manager some measure of useful context in predicting how you will respond/react to various situations and people, despite criticism of the accuracy of the system.

> 20%-30% of the sector is now pricing in default

This is tame compared to contagion in market economies. It’s limited to a sector, and it’s limited to their dollar bonds. The banks are unscathed. There is no systemic credit crunch, nor any signs such a thing is imminent.

> One firm defaults, all their investors lose a bit of money. Now that they've lost a bit of money, they will have less money to lend to other firms.

There's a lot more to it than that. You have to take into account 1) We have a fractional reserve banking system. When banks start individually calling in loans, there isn't enough "money" in the system for everyone to repay them. 2) Asset market prices (e.g., equities) reflect the present discounted values of expected future earnings. When everyone suddenly expects those future earnings to be less, the prices of those assets fall precipitously. That's not an issue in and of itself, except that those assets may have been purchased on margin (a loan) which depends on the value of those assets and may suddenly be called in for payment, forcing a liquidation of the underlying assets and further price falls. 3) As businesses scramble to pay loans that have been called and to adjust to a market where credit is difficult to come by (and businesses run on credit not cash) they reduce costs and often do so by laying off workers. This causes a reduction in aggregate demand (worker income) across the economy which further exacerbates the problem.

There is inherent instability in the system and all sorts of positive feedback loops that can amplify an initial shock. Suggest reading Irving Fisher and Hyman Minsky to understand more.
Would you say this math is reasonable?

- 3 companies/year (3y on average at a company)
- 2 teams/company (1.5y on average in a team)
- max 10 members/team
- add a 5x factor meaning you will BOND!!! (closely enough to dream of working again with you) with 50 other people outside of your team, which is crazy if you ask me, but I'm playing along

3x2x60 = 360 people. That's your entire network in 10 years, pure acquaintances, not people that you bonded with.

My humble view is that maybe you bond with 2 team members and maybe another 5 people outside of the team. 3x2x7 = 42 people. Which is actually not far from Dunbar's number of 50 friends and 150 meaningful contacts.

42. That's how many people would actually vouch for you within a 10 year period.

My network is not my problem. Everyone is wonderful and supportive. But you know very well that recommending someone isn't everything. You make it sound like if someone recommends you, then you shortcircuit the interview process and the stars align and you should just say thanks for having a job, any job.

The same argument could be made about diplomats. Would you be in favor if abolishing diplomatic immunity?

If anything journalists need better protection. Of course they can be criminals, in which case they should be prosecuted. In countries without rule of law authorities can already arrest and imprison journalists for no good reason, so it doesn't make a difference. But in more civilized places, it should be made more difficult for police to detain journalists without court order. And we need programs that encourage more independent journalism. News media is in a serious reliability crisis.
Thank you, that indeed made it start!
