A good man?

He was a far right nationalist, japan war crime negationist and inserted revisionist propaganda in history school manuals.
He was generally anti foreigners, anti equal rights. He was a member of the crazy nationalist cult Nippon Kaigai that wants a return to prewar status of the godly emperor and profess Japanese Yamato pure race superiority. Look that up.

Wikipedia :

"Shinzo Abe [0] was affiliated with the openly ultranationalist organization Nippon Kaigi (Japan Conference). He was considered a right-wing populist and ultra-conservative within the LDP, and some media and books referred to him as a far-right politician. According to Professor Dominique Tasevski, his legacy can be defined by nationalism, historical revisionism, and a deterioration in Japan-South Korea relations."

"Nippon Kaigi [1] believes that "Japan should be applauded for liberating much of East Asia from Western colonial powers; that the 1946–1948 Tokyo War Crimes tribunals were illegitimate; and that killings by Imperial Japanese troops during the 1937 Nanjing Massacre were exaggerated or fabricated". The group vigorously defends Japan's claim in its territorial dispute over the Senkaku Islands with China, and denies that Japan forced the "comfort women" during World War II. Nippon Kaigi is opposed to feminism, LGBT rights, and the 1999 Gender Equality Law."

I'm saying that the formerly most famous tweeter (trump) fluted rules that would have gotten my account banned. Twitter didn't ban trump until after Jan 6th; so Twitter doesn't have any way to legally justify banning Elon unless he does something equally egregious. That's why Elon didn't get banned for the pedo claims or the multiple SEC violations. He is such a notable figure that Twitter can't ban him (without violating the terms of the acquisition) without stupendously egregious evidence that Elon violated their terms.

If Twitter banned Elon's account for a minor TOC violation now, they would likely expose themselves to legal retaliation. Sucks, but it seems we both agree that there are separate rules for the ultra-wealthy.

Edit: I can't swing any stocks with my tweets; whereas Musk can. That is the difference, is who has the platform.
Around 1991 we shared text lists of IPs of FTP servers. Nameservers hadn't arrived in Germany.

You've given me a lot to think about. The overarching goal is to have and maintain a strict objective criteria for these badges of approval. As it stands, the current criteria as outlined in the website is met by 0 companies - the one's you see now are still the best available however as they have in-house production and full control over their supply chain. Eg. Your point stands as Some have CoA's whilst missing label ingredient info.
> he gets short-squeezed in Tesla stock

What?
I upgraded my notebook to a disconnected iPad Mini with great results. The iPad is my read and write device. It's not for work or media consumption. It does not get notifications.

You're right, having just you and a blank page is a great way to work. I try to start the day with just coffee and my iPad. No internet.
I kinda wish I had one of these I could deploy to AWS using Lambda and DynamoDB for cheapness.

Cognito is okay, but quite expensive if you want to make something popular and run it out of your own pocket.

I could watch this for hours. :)
In a way, Twitter played Musk's ego to perfection and he didn't see it until its too late. In fact I'm not sure he even admits it to himself yet.
He doesn't have $200,000,000,000 in cash.. he has stock, the value of which is exclusively depended on buyers exchanging their $ for it. There's nothing stopping any publicly traded stock from collapsing in value to the physical assets of the company minus any debts or liabilities.

According to this thing I found on the internet[1], if I read it correctly, Tesla is worth $31B if it were stripped and sold.

Most of Elon's wealth is Tesla stock... far more than the actual value of the company, by a factor of more than 5. If he has any debts against his stock, those could be his downfall.

I was explaining the shape of traditional rail wheels.

BART's since adopted a very-slightly-beveled wheel design pictured here:

Note that that's as of 2016, six years ago.

The hunting phenomenon is real and has some interesting consequences. For freight trains, empty boxcars have a lower speed limit than fully-laden ones, as the hunting behaviour is greater with less weight.

High-speed rail systems required understanding and managing hunting action. Getting a case of the wobblies at 300 kph is an exciting but short ride.
> The other side that people seem to be missing here is that it explicitly establishes a boundary past which it's perfectly fine to film the police.

> I don't see a problem with the law.

How can you possibly say this? It means the police can completely stop you from filming, simply by having cop walk up to you.

Heck, a cop can walk up behind you filming, when you can't see him, and simply arrest you. "You were ten feet away from them, but here I am behind you, off to jail for a year!"

> it was still voted on and passed by a majority of the legislative body.

So were plenty of evil, immoral things. This statement is a signpost - when people say that, it means, "Morality is not an issue that concerns me."
I don't agree with the Bill gates part but you are fundamentally right.

Elon signed this deal before the biggest stock market crash for about 15 years. The deal is extremely expensive for him right now in terms of tesla shares.

He is just buying time and hoping tesla shares increase in the meantime.

He KNOWS he HAS to complete this deal legally.

That's it. It's not complicated.
I get the principle of how it works - though it seems imperfect bc it would vary depending on the weight/load. But why favor such a mechanism to just independent wheels?

Or are you saying the whole setup actually tilts the carriage into the turn - helping to prevent it from tipping?
Why you think absolute number make more sense ?
Note that 'mean absolute jerk' can also be described as 'total variation of acceleration over time'. That implies it does not depend on how fast the acceleration changes, only about the difference between minimum and maximum (as long as the acceleration increases/decreases monotonically to/from the maximum). This may or may not be what you want.
> The company sank 25+ Billion in A380 development and cant even cover the cost of manufacture so they shut it down

Yes, and then they quickly pivoted to building the A320neo, and that one just flies without issues, because apparently they know how to build planes that conform to modern safety standards.

If Boeing does go down, the US government would very quickly copy the French playbook of building massive state-backed enterprises that was also used to create Airbus. No serious competition for Airbus wouldn't be good for anyone, but it wouldn't come to that. That should not be the reason why Boeing is allowed to continue.
Yes, I agree with you and I should have worded my comment better.

To keep with the murder example, intent is what separates 3v2, in most states. Yes, a crime was committed but was the intent to cause bodily harm vs actions causing bodily harm, without intent.

> Yet, they choose not to do so and allowed their enemies to develop nuclear weapons on their own.

If they had a choice to not allow them develop lethal weapons, they would by all means. McCarthyism executed a few, incarcerated several & targeted scores on charges of defense espionage, over a decade, including Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb. Not a great example. If the world has misunderstood this grandiosity, US should be willing to let Iranians & Koreans build their nuclear weapons, no?

> The US has been an incredible force of good in the world for the most part.

Reference needed to make such "exceptional" statement. The natural status quo would have inadvertently kept some power balance with or without US. International policing has just made the waters murkier. AFAIK US has meddled with politics of dozens of countries for political & economic gains. Count almost the whole of Latin America in it. Confessions of an economic hitman is a good read (it exaggerated several claims but the theme is consistent & accepted to be major US policies) Middle East is a quagmire, and hard to comment in this post - but what was the rationale of pitting Pakistan against India militarily for decades & now India against China. This is setting up a war of attrition on someone else's expense. As an Indian by birth, I know the numbers run into thousands of soldiers & civilians killed in conflict, mostly funded by arms & assistance to Pakistan over 80s & 90s. Could you forget Nixon sent 7th Fleet to Arabian sea with an intention to nuke India if IndoPak war persisted to favor a dictator in Pakistan [1,1a, 1b]? Not to forget Taliban was propped up by US [2] & ISIS was created in the vacuum of lawlessness left behind after Opn. Iraqi Freedom [3].

> I don't believe the "American way of life" is keeping anyone down other than those that wish to oppress others.

Space is a constraint for a full scale diatribe, but the Hispanic part of the world would like to have a word about it at least. Trade protectionism & political bullying has affected Latin American countries for several decades. Hispanic workers suffer lower wages in general than Americans, although working harder on most menial jobs [4]

Quanta is fundamental to Quantum Field Theory so it can't be the deviding factor. I would say we are biased to think in terms of particles because our brains and senses have evolved to perceive macro objects as having a precise location and definite boundaries, thus we have a tendency to project that macro structure onto everything we want to describe.

if you have an edge case you know you want, you could add the description into the input of the AI.

If you are afraid of unintended matches, that's a different problem, which you might also get writing the regex yourself!

The solution, i reckon, is to create (may be even via the same AI?) a large list of matches, and you manually look thru to see if there's unintended matches.
I'm kind of torn about this, personally.

For the most part, the defaults are fine, however in an enterprise setting I also find myself benefitting from fonts that are readable at smaller sizes.

Some fonts out there are just more compact vertically and more readable at smaller sizes, like Cousine/Liberation Mono.

There’s also the 1600mm Irish gauge which historically was down to picking a compromise between two standards used in lines built in the 19th Century. Some Irish rail engineers brought it with them to places like Australia and Brazil.
It probably depends on how much you need to think about it. If you have a minion to whom you can say "I'd like to buy Twitter, go figure it out, then let me know where to sign", there's a lot of room for being impulsive.
In terms of contents, I think the "next Wikipedia" might be an encyclopedia of projects. Each project would have its own standardized dedicated presentation page.

The purpose would be for project teams to be visible on a place of reference, so they could find supporters, participants, and resources. Reciprocally visitors could find interesting projects sorted by categories and places, for example near their home, and try to reach project teams. With such a worldwide project mapping, other applications could be done.

In fact I am very much attracted to this specific idea, to the point I try to create such a platform. But I still have a big remaining doubt: would this global platform add value for us, since there are already a lot of specialized websites presenting projects on the web (ex: video games projects on steampowered.com; ecological projects on solarimpulse.com/solutions-explorer; startup projects on... etc)?

> Would a non-savvy user realize "venmoforward@gmail.com" is not a reasonable source address for a message that otherwise looks like it comes from Venmo?

In many cases, no. They simply see that it has Venmo (or whatever) in it and assume it must be legit.

I've tried to explain this exact thing a few times. Not even sure I managed to get them to understand that a big company wouldn't use Gmail, but rather their own domain.

When my now-adult son was in high school, he had a summer job working as a moving man for a friend's dad's company. The company had a contract with the local constable's office. One of my son's and his friend's assignments was to drive a truck around to the offices of a very-big shopping mall and to meet a constable to collect a seven-figure court judgment that hadn't been paid. The constable, my son, and his friend walked into the management office; the constable presented the writ of execution of the judgment, and my son and his friend started unplugging and loading up office equipment and furniture to be hauled off and sold at auction. The manager said "Wait, wait"; a hour later, a cashier's check arrived for the amount of the judgment.
>As golang has no instanceof or typeof keyword, you practically you cannot use a method that uses multiple types as arguments without having to use the reflect API

You don't have to use reflection, there are typecasts:

You can also switch on a type. How is it different from instanceof in practice?

With depressing regularity I encounter people from democratic countries denounce not just journalism and institutions but the fundamental system of government, calling for an overthrow (not another election, because they think elections are rigged).

Cynicism so extreme it crosses into naivety.

While I can see who may be benefitting from it, I suspect a significant part of it is people moving up the Maslow’s hierarchy combined with deep-seated mental issues (some likely left over/inherited from much more financially insecure times).

Oh, have you never dealt with lawyers? There are usually multiple valid interpretations of a contract, depending on what side you are on. I didn't claim to be an oracle of truth, I'm not even tangentially related to this case (as I suspect 99% of the commenter here are).

This is a legal matter, and often it comes down to which side argues their case better. It isn't code where there is only the factual interpretation as seen by the compiler; law takes into account the fuzzy human interpretations that often frustrate programmers. Ultimately, this contract will be enforced by the courts in whichever side makes a better case.

Note that this may mean that even if Elon is in the wrong by canceling, the court may find in his favor simply due to the potential economic fallout. Sucks, but if law was a cut and dried thing we would have eliminated lawyers long ago.
Toxic squash syndrome
My gut reaction:

- states and local governments may not hire any police officers unless they fully fund the pension obligations ahead of time.

If we can force the USPS to do this, I'd say we can force state and local governments to do this as well. Problem is, I think this will lead to local governments privatizing the police force, getting rid of pension obligations completely, which will be an even worse outcome. Private, for profit companies with qualified immunity...
Any sources for this estimation? I've read nothing even remotely close to that prediction. At its peak, people in Fukushima city were only receiving ~0.06 mSv/day of radiation. This only lasted a couple of days. The vast majority of people didn't even face that since they were evacuated.

In contrast, a transatlantic flight results in about 0.1 mSv of radiation. Someone getting a single abdomen x-ray would get over 0.2 mSv.

> Tesla and SpaceX success is depending on the public opinion of Musk

No it does not, SpaceX results speak for themselves, they have no competition.

There is nothing professional about what Musk has done. That is like saying Bernie Madoff was just being professional.
It is celebrated by quite a lot of people in China, Korea, and even in Japan. Yes, Japan. For many Japanese people, the Abenomics did not really revive the economy, and their lives haven't really improved. If you understand Japanese, you will find that the comments from ordinary Japanese people commonly refer to his death as 自業自得, which means that he deserved that.

In East Asia, this assassination has another angle. The attacker, Yamagami Tetsuya confessed that his mother is a scam victim of a religious group, and Abe Shinzo had a close relationship with the leader of the group. Yamagami attacked Abe in broad daylight to revenge for his mother. In East Asian culture, this is so dramatic, almost like those legendary assassins in the old tales who fearlessly stood against the kings or emperors to defend their beliefs or families, and yet were gentle enough not to hurt anyone else. In Japanese forums, the heroization of Yamagami has already begun.

There's a difference between that and correctly guessing that a specific address belongs to a scammer. Also fake letters from the IRS etc. are a thing and people still fall for it.

not a physicist, but afaik MWI doesn't work like that.

iirc, particles are actually excitations in a quantum field. the more particle-y an electron looks - the closer you bound its position - the more waves are needed to constructively/destructively interfere to make a peak there.

it's like a Fourier transform - if you want a perfect square wave you need infinite sine waves. in this analogy that's momentum space expanding out.

also, like, you're not really seeing individual electrons. you're seeing macroscopic phenomena, like your sensor or photomultiplier tube or whatever. you're seeing the interaction, not the particle. understanding that as your lab equipment, retina and brain entering the state space caused by resolving a wave to a spike makes more sense to me than some decoherence mechanism.

It does not apply to the person who is subject to police action. It does furthermore not apply to other occupants of a vehicle (as long as they do not interfere otherwise). And it allows to make videos in a "closed structure" on private property from closer than 8ft unless the person is interfering otherwise or the entire area is deemed unsafe.

And it's only a misdemeanor after the police already warned you and you continue to take video from closer than 8ft.
