Oh this is absolutely another problem for supersonic time savings.

Supersonic flight over the continents is problematic, but not everyone lives on a coast. So many customers will have to take slow planes to aggregation hubs, which can easily add hours to an itinerary. Edit: And the aggregation hubs may not all serve the same destinations. Could easily see SF residents having to fly commercial to NYC to catch a Boom to London, even though there might be a Boom that flies SF-Tokyo.

Once you add up the fixed time costs of getting to the airport, security, flying to a supersonic hub, the percentage of time that can potentially be shaved off the itinerary dwindles.
2 out of 3 sponsors are Republican, and not the kind that typically cross the aisle.
Boom did buy a current jet engine for the demonstrator, the GE J85. That engine is used on the T-38/F-5 so there are thousands of them on the market. The demonstrator is actually bad for Boom from a business analysis perspective because it is such an easy project that they have not been able to realize after hundreds of millions of dollars.

The "small supersonic aircraft" which is what the XB-1 is, is a solved problem. "Advanced composites" is irrelevant, any aerospace firm can make a supersonic-capable aircraft out of "advanced composites". Scaled Composites build SpaceShipOne in three years with about a hundred people in a hangar.

But Boom hasn't gotten the XB-1 into the air after five years and tons more cash.

Building a new supersonic airframe: easy

Building a new supersonic jet engine: hard

Literally and actually with no exceptions every single modest-sized aerospace firm can build a supersonic airframe. That problem is solved. Tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of supersonic aircraft have been built and many of them are capable of carrying passengers.

This is not an exaggeration. My employer isn't even in the supersonic aircraft business and we could build and fly a supersonic aircraft if some executive got a wild hair up his butt, in less time and money than Boom. Tiny and embargoed firms in a variety of foreign countries with small or non-existent aerospace industrial bases have done it.

The research into the aerodynamics and stresses on supersonic airframes is done.

Engines are hard. There are only a handful of companies with the expertise and cash needed to develop a supersonic jet engine, especially one that can super cruise.

Boom is saying "yah we're gonna build a supersonic passenger jet, uhhh, don't worry about the engine we'll figure that out later, give cash please".

What Boom is doing is functionally equivalent to an EV startup saying "Yeah we're going to design a car that can go 300mph (easy, individuals {Bob Dauernheim, for one} in garages have done it) that is powered by electric motors (hard) that don't exist yet and that someone else will design" and then getting hundreds of millions of dollars to design the chassis while negotiating with motor and battery suppliers to do the R&D into the hard bit at their own risk with the promise of profits from future sales to all of the people who want a 300mph EV.
This is exactly what people said about covid. You completely missed the point.

I've seen the word "cobain" being used in English as a translation to the Portuguese word "cobaia". It means an animal that is used in scientific experiments.
I must be a Scheme "snot", because the definition of "lambda" in C++ (and other languages) is not semantically what lambda in Scheme is.

(There's a different definition of closure than in Scheme, with different implications as a result.)

The democratic president incapable of passing non budget related laws due to the senate filibuster rules and has an adversarial Supreme Court controlled by the opposing party reducing his executive authority is threatening to regulate social media to death? That doesn't seem very likely.
Celery supports solar scheduling, though it's not obvious how you would do +/- some time from the solar event. You would probably need to extend their implementation, but I don't think that would be too hard.

I thought I had that desire most of my life and recently figured out that was far more about my major anxiety to be able to provide quality "service" (as the article calls it) in all relationships, from casual conversation to romantic. Obviously, there are still times I want to be alone, but I'm more aware if it's due to anxiety and try to deal with that feeling if it is. That's just what I figured out for myself, not trying to speak for anyone else.
See the "died with" thing is where you lost me. It was obvious that there was an illness killing lots of people. But then you had people who didn't want to admit it, blamed co-morbidities, said doctors were deliberately inflating the numbers to make money, etc. Those people poisoned the well of discourse.

"Died with" was not a meaningful distinction at the time and falls under the "bad faith" category for me.

Our goal is to make it powerful enough to support a range of modeling and calculation needs, from a financial modeling to building a recipe (e.g. https://dev.decipad.com/n/The-Saturday-White-Bread%3A9JQMbgK...)! We wrote our formula language to support a broad range of modeling use cases. We’re currently testing that language with a small group. Is there any particular use case you would be interested in using a more powerful formula language for?
They definitely know, keep silent till they are on meta's payroll. Once they resign their moral compass suddenly aligns correctly and they start speaking out about how fb is bad blah blah. Quite pathetic to be honest.
It's generally engineer -> engineering manager (10 people) -> group engineering manager (100 people) -> VP -> fancy VP -> CEO.

Depth of org in a company is logN(number of employees) where N is the number of reports a manager has. At Microsoft there's order of 100K full time employees and N is about 10, so depth is about 6. This seems fairly unremarkable to me, though obviously there are other ways to do it.

I can't remember the last time I saw a non-iroinic reference to 1984.

Have you read the book? It's nothing at all like how we live today, and (as far as I can tell) this would do nothing towards making our lives more like how the lives of Winston and Julia were in the novel.
That small group of people is in fact connected to the rest of the world's population by a chain of progress that eventually leads everyone through the same level of prosperity. By turning the head and thus the direction of progress downwards you are committing the rest of the population to at the very least never achieving any level of prosperity greater than that. In the middle you're dooming them to stagnation at their current level and at the worst you're causing all of us to regress to a lower level of prosperity AND an increase in our impact on the climate due to the inefficiencies that come along with that.
Here in Korea, almost every household has heated blankets and mattress toppers. Most are heated with wires, but some have elaborate hot water tubes running through them. They come with their own thermostats and timers. Different parts of the bed can be heated to different temperatures to accommodate each person's preferences. Welcome to the future!
Are you discussing the cause and effect chain or the policy solution?

From what I've seen, the data is compelling: burning coal is contributing to climate change.

The policy solution, however, is much more challenging, and that's where I see the most groupthink occurring.
The rest of that quote is, "...[according to judges] still did not suffice to establish that the plaintiffs were censored on social media due to government action." Pretty misleading to cut that out.

Edit: TFA goes on to contrast those cases with a different case, Missouri v. Biden, which I didn't mention because it's the entire topic of the article I'm charitably assuming we've all at least skimmed before coming here to argue about, but I'm adding it now due to naasking's uno reverse card.

Dear Americans,

Not everything in this world revolves around you.
I wonder if any small insects have learned to hitch a ride in the feathers of these birds in order to reach far away lands. I guess their lifespan wouldn’t allow for such a long journey unless perhaps they went into some kind of hibernation.
There are no minimum requirements for how many stalls there should be per charging stations, nor is there a mandatory maximum downtime that a stall can be down for any reason (be it payment or charging related)

How "fast" that charger charges, is a distant third in the worries a non-Tesla driver faces. And my google-fu has not provided me any info whether the Biden Admin's Alternative Fuel Corridor sets any minimum requirements in this regard.

Tesla is winning not because it has many charging stations, but because there are multiple stalls (at minimum 6, I recall), with minimum downtime, and payment being a non-issue, since it is not linked to the stall in any way.

So you are very likely to find a functional stall and charge at a good rate.

- metrics

- litefs

- perhaps, the imminent overhaul of the orchestration layer (?)

If all you’re going to do is walk the happy path the marketing necessity makes sense; you’re a bit player in a crowded cottage industry. Your startup probably doesn’t need to exist as 9 others are doing similar enough data crunching.

Real talk; open source ML is on the way that will end digital content creation jobs. Intelligent deployment of infra is here and will get better; bye devops/secops.

If you’re suckling at the teet of the past you’re missing out on a lot of cool projects. Stable diffusion is just the start of smart open source software. I’d reconsider your path altogether if you’re envisioning a long career in software and avoiding cross training.

I think they're intentionally going for confusion, at this point. I can't pinpoint which gen really pushed things in a bad direction, but it existed in the 3000 series, and an LTT video from yesterday even put it on full display, claiming a laptop has hardware that it doesn't have.

Elasticsearch and ZincSearch both are general purpose search engines based on inverted indexes that can be used for app search as well as log search. In my stint at AWS I found that most companies used elasticsearch and anecdotally 90%+ users used it for log search. Log search was also the use case that I had in my mind when I built ZincSearch for my own needs and I found ES to be lacking. Here is a blog that I wrote on my motivation around building ZincSearch - https://prabhatsharma.in/blog/in-search-of-a-search-engine-b...

Btw my post was asking what the air force is using it for. I know they do a variety of things that’s why I asked.

Social ostracism and censorship is harm. Shutting down businesses and arresting business owners who refused to comply was harm. Wrecking supply chains and printing egregious amounts of money was harm.

Yes, violence was largely avoided. But it was still an extremely harmful period of time.

The only "fact checkers" I have found to be useful are domain experts who get a burr up their ass and go incredibly deep-dive on whatever it is. And whatever they come up with usually pisses everyone off relatively equally, for some reason.

Of course the argument changes if herd immunity can’t be achieved, it directly and explicitly changes the speculative calculation of how much harm is caused by allowing Covid to spread quickly and how much relative harm is caused by lockdowns.

The argument isn’t over whether there is a total harm reduction goal, the argument is over which of several strategies actually leads to total harm reduction. The stated goal of lockdowns was exactly the same, to reduce total harm.
Well...

Not exactly new rules, but they're making sure this doesn't overwrite anything they already enacted "for the children".

Virus is gonna virus. You can’t stop it and you can’t contain it.
That's a really powerful self-discovery. Obviously some people are more introverted than others, but introversion has more to do with how we handle (over)stimulation than it does desire for social connection and acceptance. Humans are incredibly social creatures by nature. Even the most introverted people usually want connection.

Not to mention the 5th Ammendment violation.
I hate this. I don't think it's the right approach to improving search and discoverability in the app store. (My personal suggestion for instantly improving it 100% would be removing ads that eat up the first half-screen of search results on an iPhone.)

I also greatly dislike how iOS takes the backwards approach of offloading backward compatibility as a yearly support burden multiplied across every developer - rather than maintaining it in the OS.

Platforms are supposed to absorb developer pain for multiplicative benefit - not the other way around.
I find data compelling as well. That's not my argument at all.

I am just saying that there is no room for dissent both in academia, but as you said it is even more insane in the policy sphere.

I find any area in science that's strongly guarded in combination with media, corporations, governments and group think extremely problematic, no matter how uncomfortable it makes me.
That's really not true. It just conveniently played into an existing narrative that the liberal media was trying to shut down other views.

The fact that we are so well aware of all the disagreement and skepticism - the fact that many people still have erroneous beliefs about the virus - is a great sign that censorship wasn't effective.

Low-Tech Mag also recently advocated for hot water bottles: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2022/01/the-revenge-of-the...

I acquired and used hot water bottles for the first time in my life last winter and I highly recommend giving them a shot, especially when seated outdoors.

In terms of heat storage for a given volume, water seems very hard to beat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_specific_heat_capacit...

It seems likely that for containers of equal size, water will stay warmer longer than dry rice or any other common/inexpensive material.

EDIT: I occasionally hear of engineers working on materials that work better than water, but they don't seem to be catching on so far, perhaps because water works really well and is comparatively cheap: https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/130523-zeolite-thermal-s...
"Recalled" feels like the wrong term here given it can be fixed via an over-the-air software update. That is, there should be a distinction between a recall that must be completed by a technician and a software problem that can be fixed in the next the update.
Indeed alternative "channels" exist. I mentioned them in my post. However, their authors don't question the ideological side of things. As I mentioned they even include statements how this software is "evil" etc.

What does it matter, you may say, the software is available! Yes, it is, but because of the whole "please don't advertise non-guix non-free(by their definition) software" it is hard to find to new users. Additionally pretty much all support there is for guix is provided by maybe 5 people on the irc channel. If you go to nonguix that number shrinks to perhaps 3 or 2. It is not easy to get support when the whole community is few people.

By "forking without the ideology" I would like to see guix under a new name, the name new users would search and find an installer that used normal Linux Kernel that supports a lot of software,after installing they would find a (hopefully) large community that is helpful in how to package any kind of software. One where a user doesn't have to hide the fact their trying top package software with proprietary components to get help etc. The "pure" guix has a different mission and it can continue with its libre-kernel . As of now, the software things I mention (guix with normal Kernel) exist, but they are not popular, as a result they are not as up to date as they could be. Also the whole project popularity suffers as a result.

> statements from Psaki, President Biden, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas threatening them with regulatory or other legal action

As far as I can tell, this is a straight-up lie. The Tablet article links to two other articles[1][2] that don't support this at all. All of the language used to describe the Biden Administration's actions is "request" and "advise".

I can't find any direct quotes from any of the above people threatening anyone with legal action. The NY Times article even says that Facebook completed ignored basic requests from the administration without any consequences or threats.
