I recall some WWII tank driver trainers were the tracks, engine and etc… and then seats for a driver and instructor, not much else.

Probably a lot easier to see the tracks next to you to get a feel for what the tracks were doing so you could build that mental model. Then move on to a full scale tank.
Who are some of the best/worst “tech” YouTubers/reviewers
At my last gig, we tried hiring contractors and got bit by this twice.

We’d interview a candidate over the phone or Skype and he’d be extremely knowledgeable, answering all our questions flawlessly. Then when he arrives to the office, he can barely speak English, has trouble turning the computer on, and can’t answer any of the questions he answered over the phone.

We learned to detect this very promptly and escort them out of the office immediately. They often demanded to be paid for their time and traveling expenses, despite attempting fraud.

Once Steve Huffman told me at a conference that the developer who developed Reddit Enchantment Suite(RES) worked at Reddit upon asking him why reddit user interface was so terrible when there were already things like RES to take inspiration from.

According to him the employees at reddit were not allowed to use RES so that they could strive to make reddit better rather than making Reddit with RES better.

We never saw reddit get better in terms of UI, it only got worse with new reddit UI they came up with. They might as well let their people use RES since improving the user experience was clearly not their priority.
There's a scene in the Australian show Mr Inbetween where the main character, a hitman, is being interviewed by someone writing a "true crime" book. She asks him if he feels remorse, if he has concern for those left behind by the hits: typically, the wives and children of the criminals he eliminates. The show to that point has made clear that his grievances are only with criminals/abusers/bullies.

He mentions that the interviewer knows his army history and he observes that no one asks about the families of people he's killed while a soldier. He was instead awarded medals for such behaviour.
>use QUERY instead because it's undefined

Nobody uses QUERY and it will thus have surprising consequences in no different amount than GET with a request. Firewalls will block you for "hacking". It's absolutely insane and idiotic that this is even a question. HTTP, which is a protocol that has no stated purpose, could have had no method at all and it would have made no difference. They could have just shoved whatever caching concern bullshit rationale which isn't sound either into more header lines. HTTP is a turing tarpit for protocols. Please close your websites, the users hate it and so do the engineers.

One of the principal reasons why we have democratic governments is that they are there for the protection of the citizenry.

The trouble is that by the time governments venture into these murky areas much damage has been done. Here, the problem is that no one has spelt out the details in advance —i.e.: what the ground rules are and the consequences if they are broken. Alas, governments are never proactive in many areas where they need to be.

There's just so much going on in modern life that we can't expect citizens to keep up with everything that's going on. We need short, actuate and informative one-liners that people can check before and or during any operation that they're involved in. This ought to be the role of government.

what megafauna did humans kill off, which you're referring to?

there are rumblings that the ~10k year ago megafauna die off was far too rapid to have been done by relatively unsophisticated humans and is likely to have been caused by a comet fragment impact or similar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas_impact_hypothesi...
IIRC that's how many diesel locomotives work, using electric transmission (generator+motor) instead of mechanical coupling.
Yes, that's what we always see, because megafauna are highly obvious in the fossil record. Tiny or especially soft-bodied invertebrates maybe not so much, and I'd hesitate to assume past mass extinctions provide too precise a model for one taking place in the present day. After all, there's nothing in the fossil record to suggest what a mass extinction might look like like in an environment containing modern humanity, too.

Freudian slip of the year
There are limits to how fast a virus can spread from person to person, and how quickly it can spread through a population. An intentional policy of inoculation is faster. That’s why vaccination works to reduce the incidence of even very contagious diseases like measles. Human logistics can pretty easily outrun the disease.

It’s also easier to control dosage with inoculation, and therefore control for side effects. A naturally reproducing virus, even one that begins benign, can infect different people with varying severity, and change via mutation over time.

The alternative is that all mega fauna survived a dozen ice ages over the last 5 million years, only for all of them to go extinct when fully modern humans finally invent agriculture by sheer coincidence.
> That doesn't say that CCS is better, it says that it's what the local auto industry demanded in an attempt to freeze out competition.

No, you have this exactly backwards. Common infrastructure standards are what enable competition. New manufacturers can enter the European EV market without wondering what plug to support. New charging networks can build out knowing that they can support all cars on the same plug.

Proprietary plugs freeze out competition by their very nature.

> CHAdeMO would have been the objectively better choice.

No, CHAdeMO 2.0 had no roadmap to 500 kW whereas CCS has for a long time. CHAdeMO also has no AC charging support and requires two separate inlets for DC and AC. CCS has AC by virtue of its combo design only needing the one combo inlet.

CHAdeMO 3.0 has changed the plug design to be a DC and AC combo like CCS, but with control pins in the DC part.

> it's worth noting that the market leader in Europe is still the company offering an integrated brand-specific charging system

No, Volkswagen is the EV market leader in Europe by quite some margin:

https://eu-evs.com/bestSellers/ALL/Groups/Year/2021

Volkswagen owns many automotive brands (VW, Audi, Skoda, SEAT, Porsche, etc.) so sales are split across more brands and models:

Yes. I'm 50, and grew up before the common use of car seats for children. Children of all ages would commonly ride in the front seat, or even in the back of pickup trucks. Even today, only about half the states have rules specifying that the carseats must be installed in the rear: https://saferide4kids.com/car-seat-laws-by-state/

As a fun anecdote, my father grew up prior to the time that most cars even came with factory seat belts. Before taking a family trip to Alaska in the 50's, his mother read about them and demanded that her husband install them in the station wagon before the trip. So he bought straps and buckles of some sort from a hardware store, and bolted them on so that all 6 kids would have "seatbelts" for the trip.

Cars went to shit when they got ECUs. Idiots defend it and anything like it because "it saves lives" "saves the environment" or whatever, but they don't know anything and haven't looked at the details themselves for even one second. Prime example: Dieselgate, they thought something or someone was being saved, but absolutely nothing was. Even this stupid article says "X & Y saves lives". Fuck off. Actually, this reminds me how a city is just a bunch of roads designed for these trash technology for people who think they are wealthy to make use of, with no provisions for people who want to just walk places (e.g 3 mile long stretches of private property with no way to get through them without risking getting arrested).

Crisis Text Line (a service where people having mental health crises can text for support) had, for years, shared chat data with a private company (which it partially owns shares executives with) for use in developing customer service chatbots. They were always very open about this on their website. The company provided a little financial support to CTL in return. There have been no reported incidents of the data being shared or misused. They stopped sharing the data in 2020.

Politico ran an article a few days ago where they interviewed some people employed in privacy and ethics who all said that it seemed pretty weird to do that, and some volunteers for CTL agreed. CTL pretty much right away decided to ask the private company to delete the data (it's not clear if that's happened yet because there is some separation between the two entities) and promised they wouldn't share the data with private companies in the future. CTL continues to use internal data analysis tools to triage incoming texts. They will also continue to share data with academic researchers and other non-profits on a limited basis.

My two cents: this was a really weird arrangement between a non-profit and a private company. It was the right call on CTL's part to stop the data sharing, it should be a good learning for others, but in the end it's a "no harm no foul" situation. CTL has been and continues to be one of the best avenues for crisis support.

While the comments in some of the larger subreddits can be less than engaging, I think there's still a lot of value to be found in many of the more niche communities that are well moderated.

New reddit ('the redesign') is a disaster, and old.reddit.com + RES is what makes the site usable. It's going to be a tremendous loss if (when) they are no longer available.

"The Underground Express was a method of transportation employed by the native Argonians in Black Marsh. It involved travelers submerging themselves into a Rootworm's stomach through their breathing holes. The travelers could then leave the Underground Express via the breathing holes as well. The travelers would then travel inside a Rootworm's stomach during their migrations. Notable exits and entrances to the Underground Express during the winter could be found at Gideon and Hixinoag."

Not with gmail you can't.

Yes, this was on a paid account.
> We know for a fact that vaccines have long term effects. They wouldn't be useful otherwise. It would be nice if they could only have positive long term effects, but why would there be any guarantee of that?

Correct, but, and this is the important bit: the only lasting thing the vaccines do is leave your body primed to react to certain proteins (everything else they "do" leaves the body pretty quickly, you can think of this as a fairly limited api they're interacting with). This could be a bad thing, but if it is

1. Anyone who naturally caught covid would also suffer the same consequences

2. you'd expect to see the issues as soon as the immune system was primed, this takes days to weeks, not months.

So yes, there are all sorts of weird thins that could happen, but I'll reiterate: we know of know biological mechanisms that would make those things happen suddenly, without warning, months after the vaccine. We understand, very well, that such things can't really happen.

Just because you don't understand the human body very well doesn't mean the medical establishment also has equally no clue.

From GNU Make webpage:

> GNU Make is a tool which controls the generation of executables and other non-source files of a program from the program's source files.

What is idiosyncratic is to think Make is first a command runner, and only after a file generator, and complain that it is doing a poor job at the former when it clearly says it is focusing on the latter.

I read the "idiosyncrasies" section on the just README and they are all performance related targeting file generation. All of those can be learned in one minute, as part of "I'll always find Makefiles in the wild, it's good to know the basics".
I knew a hiring manager about a decade ago at a company that used a very intense interview practice. The sort of multi-day, tests, whiteboard coding, several rounds of panels interview. The worst employee they ever hired somehow made it through that entire gauntlet then showed up to work and it was like somebody had lobotomized him. He was no longer able to write code, simple SQL SELECT statements, anything. It was utterly bizarre and unlike anything I've ever seen. For months my friend vented about this employee's utter ineptitude and every conversation ended with "how the hell did he get through the interview process?"

They never did figure out what was going on, but did eventually have to terminate the employee.

edit I just asked me friend if they had any ideas what happened. They said they believe that a "recon" person interviewed before them and just recorded the interview questions so they could study and regurgitate answers. But that's the best theory that doesn't involve identical twins, clones or time travel.

Why is Africa, the place where humans have been the longest, teeming with megafauna relative to the rest of the world? Why did megafauna die out in regions where there was little to no human presence?

Maybe the environmental conditions that allowed for humans to invent agriculture also spelled doom for the megafauna. If the world of relevant scientists agree that this is an open problem, it doesn't make sense to just pretend like we know the answer because it suits us in whatever manner.

The fact is: We don't know what killed off the megafauna.
