Raytheon does make missiles (and other war-related stuff), Girls Who Code has partnered up with Raytheon, the title doesn’t mention anything about Girls Who Code doing anything with missiles. That doesn’t make it any less egregious, to the contrary, as it helps normalize companies that are in the business of killing people and it also leaves a very sour taste about an organization (Girls Who Code) which was supposed to make the world just a little better.

> It's too bad there isn't a way of recovering some of that energy when descending, similar to how electric cars recover energy when braking.

A descent is a pretty efficient conversion between potential energy (altitude) and kinetic energy (speed/horizontal distance) so you get it back. Your RPM difference between cruise and descent is a proxy for your recovered energy. An engine out glide/landing is the extreme demonstration of this.
When I worked retail a long time ago, one of the assistant managers flew every weekend.

He wasn’t rich. Now he’s making a good living flying for Southwest iirc.
Thank god, this is decades overdue. Seeing the white powder left on my fingers after I spilled some gas while sumping (to check for impurities, before every flight) always made me cringe.

I think the issue with Instagram is the “follow the money” mentality from a lot of its users. I follow around 600 accounts, many of which are artists and brands, and I definitely saw a drastic shift towards video content.

A 40$ cable with 5 dongles is a great argument that USB is fine.

As to wireless, an iPhone 13 pro max can do 15W wireless vs up to 27W with the right USB charger or 2W USB if you happen to plug into the wrong charger without thinking about it. In practice I only charge overnight or while driving so it’s hard to see a practical difference.

What do you mean by "works"? Yes, grey markets will pop up, but if Portugal banned AirBnB style renting that the market for that housing wouldn't shrink?

It seems to me that prohibition might be a useful tool in a more comprehensive set of policies to address the problem.

Substrait (substrait.io) is trying to be a backend independent plan representation.

In practice, SQL dialects consist of a collection of functions in addition to standard operators. These functions have varying naming, functionality, and edge case behavior -- often conflicting. Papering over this is a difficult problem.

From a SQL database point of view, the SQL interface is well tested and required by end users. Adding an additional, rarely used interface to get to expose the same functionality is of questionable value. Using SQL as the plan serialization works pretty well.

> The cheapest way to lower your risk of lead exposure is to install an RO filter

That’s much more expensive than the average NSF-listed filter. I believe most of them work by ion exchange, and they are a lot simpler and cheaper than RO.

Get RO if you have serious hardness issues or taste issues that are not mitigated by a good NSF-listed filter with a carbon stage.

70% efficiency requires 43% more power, your article says “47% more power than a cable” at the top which is a little worse but wait “In general, the propped-up design helped align the coils without much fiddling, but it still used an average of 19.8 Wh, or 39% more power, to charge the phone than cables.” that’s better than 70% efficiency. So ~70% efficiency is spot on.

Wireless charging can do 15+W depending on the phone.

As to the scare quote about 3.5 Billion phones, the charger they mentioned consumes 0.25W when the phone isn’t attached or 6Wh per day that’s the same energy it wastes charging a battery 12Wh per day. You can find many wired wall chargers that waste more than 0.5W when the phone isn’t charging so using one would actually take more energy than using that wireless charger for a single phone.

Given that rental laws in Germany can't even be broken if you buy a property for your own use ("in theory" yes but in practice...) it is not surprising why the traditional rental market is the last place someone will want to have their property

Tenant protection is good, but it breaks down in high-demand situations. And of course the better solution is to solve this on the supply side
I disagree with their premise that Reels is "performative" while TikTok is "authentic". They could have cherry picked other sample posts to demonstrate the exact opposite.

They're both equally performative & inauthentic.
I like that they asked actual users, and provided actual examples; it's something I've always felt off about Instagram's Reels vs TikTok. However the takeaway is that your TikTok feed is curated by hand by artisan robots vs Instagram is curated by lizards who only care about data.

Both companies are completely data driven with some amazing engineers; but why is the Reels product boring, while TikTok is engaging has to be something other than TikTok pulled the "wholesome" lever. (There was a ~month where I was getting incredibly depressing sideshows, so I don't think tiktok is 100% wholesome).

My theory has been that people have been conditioned out of posting to Instagram (if you don't have a literally perfect life, then why post) and as a result Instagram just has less content to draw upon. I think this effort to chase TikTok isn't going to pan out because "regular" people aren't posting to Instagram.

> But they do not discriminate against who issued it. Valid? All good. Just like it with email.

Ahaha of course they do! Try paying online with a credit card issued by a bank from Uganda, or by a bank that allows customers to prepay their credit card bills, or with a "privacy.com" type virtual card, and you will very quickly see that payment processors most certainly do not treat all cards the same, even if they are valid.

And yes, that's "just like with email". Because the majority of online services will outright reject addresses from anonymous/"temp mail" providers, even though they are perfectly valid and can receive mail. Many will additionally disallow +suffix addresses, because they can be used to create multiple accounts from the same mailbox, and also make it easier to automatically get rid of spam originating from the service provider. Service providers want the user's primary, personal email address. Exclusion rules exist to increase the likelihood that this address is in fact what the user has entered. The standard validation flow is clearly not sufficient, else service providers wouldn't bother with all the additional complexity.

I came in at the tail-end of the controversy and didn't get it either, but then I watched the initial comment Linus made on the stream that started it and it was really weird.

Never used an OSS frontend before. Any other open source frontends worth trying?
Duh, science is the interplay between observations and explanations. But that doesn’t change that what makes an explanation good or bad is whether it’s hard to vary.

I’ll use a David Deutsch example: let’s say a theory that eating 1kg of grass cures the common cold.

You could do an experiment and find it does not. But you could easily vary the theory and say actually it’s 1.1kg and so on.

But you wouldn’t actually need to do the experiment because there is no good, invariable explanation as to _why_ eating the grass cures a cold.

In that case, you wouldn’t need any data or observations at all. You could simply ask why eating exactly 1kg of grass cures the cold. What is the mechanism of action?

In this way you can see that empiricism is not sufficient in any case to give evidence to a theory. We need only a good explanation to judge whether a theory is worth considering to be true. From there, we can do further experiments/observations to rule it out. But never to prove it true.
Ooooohhh, the air-cooled vs. water-cooled argument is a great one. The mechanical simplicity of air-cooled engines is a very strong point in their favor, but it's arguably the only one. Water-cooled engines can be run leaner (i.e. more efficiently) because they don't need to run rich to keep cool, don't have uneven cooling issues, aren't susceptible to thermal shock when going to idle during a cruise descent, have better power-to-weight ratios, and don't have as big of a problem dealing with the dilemma of having the slowest/warmest airflow when the most engine power is needed (during takeoff and go-around conditions)--all for the relatively modest risk of a pump, radiator, or hose failure. In an alternate reality where we had seen the same amount of R&D go into general aviation piston engines as automotive ones, I wouldn't be surprised if nearly all light aircraft used hybrid-electric liquid-cooled engines with reduction gearboxes.
They would explode if you told them that this, too, was that "privilege" they like to go on about.
Yes there is a fair amount of truth in that.

I do think that experience helps here. I have a recipe for installing Python that works on most python projects most of the time.

git clone <project>
python3 -m venv ./venv
source ./venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
deactiviate # need to do this to include the correct command line tools in path (eg Jupyter)
source ./venv/bin/activate

Done.

On a Linux or Intel Mac system this works with pretty much every reasonable Python project.

On M1 Macs the situation isn't great at the moment, though.

I used to work for a company that did this. The amount of location data out there and how easily it is available is mind boggling. And turning off GPS location on your mobile phone doesn't save you. You can get location data from telecoms directly though it is coarser. If you have a mobile phone on you, you connect to a cell tower, and boom, your location is known to a few hundred feet. This is sometimes preferred because you can fake your GPS data but this comes from the cell towers so no way to fake it. If you repeatedly visit the same places, which most people do, with some ML models so you can localize it further down.

Every app that asks for location data sells it. That includes every single weather app. In some cases, it is a bigger revenue stream than the ads they show.

Primitive Technology: Making Iron from Sand [video]
"Boomers don't like immigrants/workers, therefore life is getting really expensive" mischaracterises my argument. In hindsight I should have left out superfluous phrases.

The fully elaborated argument is long and somewhat nuanced. If you want a soundbite, how's this: "Boomers own all the stuff (to a first approximation). Two other things: first, due to their wealth they can outbid Zoomers for real estate as it comes onto the market. (Having someone live in the proprty is entirely optional.) Second, boomers are adept at protecting their wealth by keeping real estate scarce and taxes on real estate negligible, as they have always been."

Or: people are not competing for houses, piles of money are. The bigger piles are winning.

Edit to add: Demographics comes into it because the Boomers are the first generation in history to be so economically significant in their old age.

Before the boomers, life expectancy was about the same as retirement age, or younger. Houses passed on to the next generation much sooner in their life cycle, often as they were just starting to have children of their own. Now, children can themselves be retired before parents die and leave them the house. Often, perhaps usually, are, these days.

The market weakness of new-household-forming adults (the 18-49 age group) is one consequence.

We are in uncharted territory, demographically, this century.

>But when the authoritarian emperors took over, you could say sayonara to "civil society".

Rome had Emperors for either 400 or 1500 years, depending on what you call Rome, while the Roman Republic lasted about 400 years at most, with a tiny percentage of the population having voting rights for most of it.

So blaming a lack of democracy is a huge stretch.
