1. It would have to be much higher than 80%. Airlines aren't software companies; their margins are horrible ;-)

2. "whatever it costs to actually operate the flight" is... well, good luck negotiating that bill :)

NB: they are not flying empty because no one wants a seat! They would be able to sell some seats! Even at previously-prevailing market rates! And of course could fill the plane if they sold the seats at any price!

They are flying empty because they can't sell enough seats at a high enough price to justify the fixed cost of the number of cabin staff required if there are customers on the flight.

It's about cabin staff regs, not about literally no one wanting to fly.

So... that 20% does matter.
Twitter isn’t bound by the first amendment, the government is. The government telling Twitter to turn over account details because a user filed a fraudulent DMCA claim does have 1A implications. Twitter being bad and inconsistent at moderating doesn’t have anything to do with the 1A.

The anonymous user in question screenshotted and then posted public IG pics vaguely implying that the IG user was in a relationship with a private equity manager. The woman who posted those pics then sold their rights to a shell company who is now suing that anonymous user to unmask their identity. They have no defamation or libel claim, which would give them the right to unmask the user — so they’re abusing copyright law to achieve the same ends.

Twitters moderation policy and 230 immunity have nothing to do with this case.
It is still very much hyper-exaggerating, even if you can claim that you’re technically within the realm of plausibility.

In my opinion, your post would have been more engaging and less polarizing had you omitted that section altogether: the fantastical hypotheticals draw the reader’s attention away, and do not seem to add anything that more staid examples would not have offered while avoiding reducing the salience of your main argument.

That quote is talking about the first movie. The original one. Neo’s story is a cleverly hidden but also extremely thin metaphor about a trans woman finding herself. That scene with the red and blue pills is literally Neo choosing estrogen over antidepressants. “Mr. Anderson” with that iconic over the top emphasis on the mister is Neo getting deadnamed. Neo has this feeling that the world is wrong (gender dysphoria) and finds the truth in online chat rooms and in a bar full of people who wear full leather outfits (a crude stand-in for the LGBT community).

I could keep doing this for every part of the movie but you get the picture. And it’s all canon.
I can relate to what the author is saying. I stopped my PhD program after having completed all coursework, and right as I was beginning the work on my dissertation. I had a great pair of professors as my main advisors, who frankly asked "Why? Why are you pursuing this PhD?". My answer was that I felt that I would enjoy and thrive doing "pure research". Their feedback was very honest and frank: "but we hardly ever get to do any pure research". They went on about faculty politics, hours spent writing grant proposals, hustling to get published, ..., and how teaching students is actually a pain (if one really wanted to do research) after a relatively short time.

That was 1993, and the exploding new world of opportunities in working on _actual_ distributed systems (my dissertation topic area) in the newly forming "Internet Era" were real and exciting. Those opportunities, juxtaposed with my advisors' depictions of academia, made the choice easier. I felt very grateful to get such honest insight. For years I wondered/worried if I would regret abandoning all the work I had done, and it felt uncomfortable having not finished a goal I had set. By 10 years after, though, I had no regrets or worries remaining.
This is only somewhat true, to get hired to a tenure track position you generally have to propose a body of research to the other faculty members during your job talk, so it has to be research they find compelling AND that they think will pull down grant money, so . . . generally not absolute freedom there.

Also when you work as an academic you are underpaid and working the equivalent of three jobs, 1) research and begging for grant money, 2) teaching, 3) bureaucratic nonsense, committees, student advising, etc. So I think 42% to do your research is a very generous estimate.

I left academia after my PhD and wish I would've left sooner. It's a house of cards built on the illusion "prestige" and indentured servant wages.

AIER denies climate change, thinks herd immunity is a good response to COVID, and has been dismissed by public health experts. In the context of a conversation about citing credible sources to become more informed about covid, citing them is about as self-discrediting as it gets.

So I'm really not even sure where to start. Perhaps I should start with the fact that, under the best possible interpretation, you're treating the conceptual nuance of prediction vs. statement of fact as if it completely discredits the ability if Health Feedback to accurately parse COVID research. That is totally out of proportion to what would actually be proved by that argument.

It's also, I believe a distinction that is basically without merit as a commentary on what does or doesn't count as misinformation. Predictions most definitely do contain misinformation, serve to spread misinformation, can be based on bad reasoning that it is appropriate to criticize well ahead of the events they are predicting. In this case, the WSJ prediction turned out to be false and it was perfectly appropriate to call it out for the misinformation it was, and seeking cover by litigating whether the misinformation was retrospective or forward looking without defending the accuracy or underlying reasoning is asinine.

>Regarding the particular claim advanced by health feedback here: it's a "fact check" based on a single paper, written by Neil Ferugson's group, that attempts to validate the predictions made by...Neil Ferguson's group.

And this is so unhinged I almost don't even know what to say. There's nothing untoward about doing research that weighs on other research you have done; it's in collaboration with other partners and peer reviewed. If something was actually wrong with the study you could come out and say so instead of making captain of the JV debate team insinuations about hypothetical possibility of impropriety.

Yeah, and sometimes you can lose meaning too. If I were implementing this, I would bleep out things like slurs, and words like 'shit' would be replaced with their (arbitrarily less crude) counterparts - 'crap' in this case.

There are existing software and methods to get around this problem of accidental censorship.

A ConvNet for the 2020s
> It gives a temperature reading for any pixel I select, but appears to be interpolating from a relatively limited number of real-world data points.

I think you are misinterpreting what Windy is showing. It's not trying to show the current temperature at the selected location, it's showing the current forecast for the temperature at that location according to a particular model. On the lower right, you can choose from different forecast models, and the "temperature" at the location you select will probably change. If you choose a finer grained model than the default (there are different third party models available for different locales) you might find one that does a better job of dealing with mountains. And on the lower left, you can change the "time" slider to show the forecast for the next few days according to the chosen model.

So yes, there is interpolation happening, but it's interpolation from a model that is already based on an artificial grid, and not based on interpolating from the actual temperatures as recorded on the ground. What I find useful about Windy is the ability to compare the output of different weather models, and thus get a idea of the uncertainty of the forecast. To access this, choose a location, and then click "Compare" on the bottom bar. If all 5 models available to me agree, it's probably a good guess. If one of them is radically different, one should be slightly skeptical. If they all disagree, probably best to assume that the forecast is inherently unpredictable.

Freedom 3 of the Free Software Definition:

> The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

One of the tests for the Debian Free Software Guidelines:

> "The Tentacles of Evil test". Imagine that the author is hired by a large evil corporation and, now in their thrall, attempts to do the worst to the users of the program: to make their lives miserable, to make them stop using the program, to expose them to legal liability, to make the program non-free, to discover their secrets, etc. The same can happen to a corporation bought out by a larger corporation bent on destroying free software in order to maintain its monopoly and extend its evil empire. To be free, the license cannot allow even the author to take away the required freedoms.

By these standards, if NPM could not do this (or could only do this by virtue of their TOS), then faker.js and colors.js would not qualify as free software.

Most free software definitions are focused on preserving the freedoms of the user first, other wishes of the author like "being paid" or "printing ascii American flags" are secondary

Those rules regarding property and ownership predate government. The government likes to pretend that only it can enforce those rules, when in fact it is the entity most responsible for violating them. You can't seriously claim to enforce property rights when you yourself are seizing a sizable chunk of everyone's income for your own use. Also, there is no reason at all that the rules need to be "centralized" or promulgated and enforced by some special class of rulers. Property and ownership and the justice of proportional punishment for violating them are all logical consequences of self-ownership and reciprocation. People are perfectly capable of arranging to enforce their own rights without depending on an overgrown, overpriced, centralized protection racket.
I've heard this one, yes. From my experience of learning about the God that I pray to, I highly doubt He's sending me commenters asking me one liners about seat belts and dialysis to convince me that the monk I admire was wrong, and that I should change my mindset to become more like the atheists I'm surrounded by.

Rowboats, helicopters etc. in a flood, prima facia, seem to be more in character as a deliverance from a natural disaster. My interpretation of that parable is that this man has a vainglorious hope to be saved via an undeniable miracle of mystical, luminous teleportation so he can point to it and go "Look, see! I was right all along".

> The specific misfeature is that when you use NPM to install a package, including a command-line tool, NPM selects the dependency versions according to the requirements listed in package.json

I thought in 2021 its well known that not using locked dependencies for npm is a no-go? Just people accidentally braking dependencies happens so often that in my experience not using a lock file is not an option.

> a package declares the minimum required version of each dependency, and that’s what the build uses

if that is how it works it IMHO sounds like a way worse choice for security.

Personally I prefer what cargo (rust) does, if there is no lock file, pick the newest compatible version and create a lock file. If there is a lock file use the version of the lockfile (if possible, i.e. if the semver requirements in the project file are not incompatible with the current lock file).

Then it's not a question of weather you use some command to create some freez/lock file or similar, but just weather you commit it. It also means that during local development your version will not magically bump (which would be horrible).

Similar you can tell cargo to bump dependencies in the lock file to the newest semver compatible version, or increase the minimal version number in the Cargo.toml file.

Similar you can use options to _only_ use dependencies in the lock file failing if it's not compatible with the current project definition.

Sure cargo still has a lot of ways it can improve in, but I still prefer it over more or less all alternatives I ever tried (I haven't tried all of them).
That's true, but rarely are kids thrown in the woodchipper for the survival of old people. And I worry that's what has happened to my toddler (infant when covid started) as a result of mask mandates and lessened social exposure during the most neuroplastic years of her life where speech and socialization starts forming. I do legitimately think some old/vulnerable lives were saved at the expense of suppressing childhoods, but it's certainly an anachronistic prioritization of life.
A lot of our common conceptions of the past are flat out wrong. Often deliberate fabrications for political ends.

Why wouldn't fathers, in general, be affectionate? The Bible (to take a very old book) if full of fatherly affection. Take the story of Abraham and his son to be sacrificed. The story has always been shocking because the reader knows the son was so wanted and loved and empathizes.

Even the prejudice isn't universal. Italians don't have this conception of cold fathers 100 years ago.

Could it be a protestant thing? Possibly except the Norwegians in this set are themselves Protestants.

I would chalk up the image of a cold, distant father, to the generational shock of 31 years of slaughter in Europe (1914-1945). Some blame Bismarck and his quest to make perfect soldiers through universal education (and the export of the Prussian model).

But, really, the past is not as bad as it is depicted. Life was tougher, but there was love, laughter, loyalty, beauty, and friendship. I suspect more so than today.
Assuming the dialog can be believed: they either had to participate in the reboot, or let WB reboot it without them.
You know this is disingenuous, right? All of the things you described are water saving measures - the rationale for them is almost completely divorced from the climate change argument made by GP.

I mean there's definitely a conversation to be had about the effectiveness of domestic water saving measures in comparison to industrial ones, but I'm not sure it's entirely relevant here.

I really don't like this new movie, but it doesn't impact my enjoyment of the ones that came before. If I really cared to, I can just pretend that this movie doesn't exist, as people are fond of doing to the original two sequels.

Even from a "cinematic universe" or "canon" perspective I don't recognize its ability to affect the previous story; we're living in a rapidly accelerating era of media where escapism commands huge money and nostalgia is king; who's to say five or ten years down the line someone else might not make a new Matrix property and retcon the story as told in this one? Would be funny if Lilly Wachowski was the one to do that.

If you want to criticize twitter’s behavior in this way, say “free speech protections”, not “1st amendment”.

Twitter is not bound by the 1st amendment.

It may be reasonable to criticize them on the grounds of not protecting speech as much as they should. But this should be a social and possibly moral criticism, not really a legal one.
