Last time I checked overall private flying was about 8 times more dangerous than a car, and right on par with a motorcycle.

~~However, something like 35% of the accidents are running out of fuel, and of the remaining accidents, 35% of those were in poor weather.~~

So if it is a clear day and you remember to put fuel in the airplane it gets you ahead of a motorcycle and not as safe as a car.

It really depends on if you look at just fatal accidents or all accidents.

Edit:

Looking at 2019 it appears 38 of 109 fatal accidents were weather and fuel related.

So if you fill up with gas and fly on a nice day you are definitely still worse than a car and maybe twice as safe as a motorcycle? (statistically speaking of course)

Could you not argue the same thing about progressives? They are very big on the emphasis of so-called "social progress" even when they don't do it themselves. Most famously I could argue that this entire push for climate change by the progressives has done nearly nothing to stop the actual producers of it (the 1%) and instead puts yet another burden on the everyman. These limousine liberals are the party-equivalent of the very people you are saying exist exclusively in the conservative parties.

Both dogmas have their place. The problem we have isn't that the two exist, it's that there's now a gap between them you can measure in AUs. Some ideas are better expressed by conservatism. That is, keeping the status quo. Some ideas are best expressed with progressivism. Right now the two parties are being turned in tribes by the media (twitter especially in this example) which benefits absolutely no one but the people who actually hold the power. As for democrats and republicans, it's my opinion they play on the same team.

Your reply strikes me as sitting further on the edges of the horseshoe than you might realize.

Interestingly, It's becoming much more common for young people to use obscured phrases for advertiser-unfriendly but non-profane terms. For example, using un-aliving instead of commit suicide. It's not an ironic usage, but an actual usage to avoid getting agorithim'd on social media websites, but it leaks out into domains where advertiser unfriendliness isn't actually a problem (like HN for example) and gets used in the same way. It's a real time example of the intersection of marketing and technology shaping language and it's kind of fascinating.
By doing that, you are also signalling demand to the market for heavier cars, which makes it more dangerous for your children when they cross the street as this article points out.

Do not over complicate your stack.

It will happen on its own.

Building product is part product and part distribution (customer acquisition).

The more established or boring tech you use, the more time you have to understand the problem and needs and iterate more often and quicker. Often just using what you know isn’t as bad idea. It will shed a light on where you wanna be with your final tech stack anyways. Customers generally don’t care what you have coded their solution in.

Your goal is more to build a flexible feature testing system / experimentation engine that can bill for money (presume the billing part).

The context of what problem you’re solving is secondary because it will change and evolve.

Today I would consider starting with:

- TryCelery - no presales, no demand

- Tailwind UI wireframe or PoC in HTML. Meant to be disposable. Shuffle.dev is a handy tool.

- Flutter to recreate and build the prototype, aloha and mvp to have one code hit to hit all platforms including web. Forget is generally newer and next green collated to it’s contemporaries.

Don’t work with tailwind or flutter? Hire a product designer and dev to not build it for you but teach you both via screen shares from UPWork, etc. If they can teach you how they can probably build it vs saying they can.
Does anyone know how the validity of a linear extrapolation is determined? I mean is there a standard way of measuring an extrapolation, like sigma? The only way I can think of is to take the ratio of the sample with the population. For instance, if sample = 24 and population = 200 billion, their ratio is 0.00000012. How do we know if this is a valid linear extrapolation? In this case, sample is the number of galaxies Hubble observed in 1929 for his famous paper and the population is the number of known galaxies. Is there a rigorous way to evaluate an extrapolation in statistics?

Also in the ~10 years Julia coders have been arguing Julia is inevitable, I haven’t seen a killer demo that shows something miles better than pandas, pyspark, PyTorch etc. In the same timespan if you look at Rust and Go they were able to capture large market share from compelling OSS projects that made people want to learn the language. Probably the missing piece for the Julia community is to create some library that does something innovative that makes people want to switch just to try it.

1% of 365 days is less than four days a year. So you say me you buy and drive an expensive, heavy and polluting vehicle that consumes a lot year long because you barely need it four days in the whole year.

> you do not perceive the trillions of years that could pass in between two moments occurring, nor do you have any way to realize you are perceiving moments out of order or that other possibilities of realities exist

This is intriguing. But how does cause and effect work? If there is no “external state”, say I burn my hand by spilling hot coffee on it. There’s a burn in my skin. Trillions of years pass and I experience the next moment… with burned skin?

> Cloud provider's best trick was to convince everyone that network calls are better than function calls.

Not really. Cloud providers did convince everyone that if you hit a resource limit in one of your boxes then your best strategy is being able to add more boxes, and not move everything and the kitchen sink to a larger box.

Also, not everything sits in the hot path of anything. Sometimes all you want is a long-running job to run somewhere.
Men and women are different. Can’t change that fact. Anyone who has children notices immediately that there are innate differences between the two (although if your memory is even fractionally good you should remember your own childhood).

Why do gladiator sports (MMA, American football, boxing) remain popular? Men enjoy beating the shit out of each other. It’s not to say women can’t do the same, it’s just that on average men like beating each other up more.

If you start extrapolating, there are all manner of differences between the genders. But this is somehow professional suicide to mention any of them if you work in elite industries.

This “revelation” that men and boys need help, and specific types of help, is only shocking to the Brookings institution set and the types of people who get their news from elite sources. If you live among the hoi poloi this is not controversial whatsoever.

Where's the analysis, though? Why is the educational system geared towards a disadvantage for boys?

I get it that the implication is puberty, which typically occurs later in boys. But that proposed change would only pull it from, say, 6th grade to 5th. That alone cannot be it, can it? So what's the cause of the problem?

I haven’t heard that rhetoric, only that memory safety is a really good thing. If I can pay up front with some static analysis and eliminate entire classes of bugs, that’s just such a great thing, even if it doesn’t solve everything.

It sounds to me like you want THC. I don't know what side of the law that is, where you're at.

I'd find a way to dose sublingually or something that you are okay with. You want to be able to reliably dose an amount that gets you the mellowness, so edibles are a bad idea (unreliable).

You can vape it. It's not smoky, and the smell only lasts a few seconds. Easy not to go too hard, since results are near-instant.

It won't last too long (especially if you build any tolerance)--a couple hours max, usually.

Combine with music.

I have many things I do to feel good, many of which are mentioned here. The only things that have ever given me a true buzz are alcohol and THC. I have not explored any other chemicals besides caffeine, but I have tried a great many things like sleep patterns, dietary changes, meditation, running, music, etc.

Caffeine is probably next-closest, and working out can give a real "glow" sometimes. I can also get a bit of a euphoric feeling just being present in some situations--family gatherings and concerts come to mind--but not on command.

> (Also 1-based indexing is almost as obnoxious as the 24/7 Julia shill brigade.)

You had me at 1-based indexing. This is sadly an anti-feature of Julia as far as I'm concerned.

I know that 1-based indexing is used in Fortran, MATLAB and Lua (and other places) -- but I just find 0-based indexing more natural to me. If I grew up using 1-based indexing I'd probably be saying the opposite but this is what I prefer now.

Julia is probably a more cleaner system overall. But then so is Deno compared to Node. The problem is that the alternative needs to be many times better not merely better. The "network" effort is quite strong in Python scientific computing this is still outweighing some of the real benefits of Julia.

It is always good to have alternatives. The quality of GCC improved when Clang came along. Julia's presence will keep Python on its toes. Both platforms will keep improving.

But, once again, Julia's 1-based indexing is something that adds unnecessary friction, for me at least.

Also, using steel as opposed to advanced, lighter and more expensive materials, the larger crumple zones (safety features) weigh more.
