> better twin engine planes totally obviating a lot of hub-to-hub travel.

Yeah, but that was entirely predictable...

There were twin-engine jets from both Boeing and Airbus flying trans-Atlantic, the 737 was a very popular aircraft, and the ETOPS rules went into effect in 1985, years before the very first steps in A380 development. The future direction of air travel was out there for any well-informed individuals in the industry to see.

Your body covers the energy overhead to break down food into usable energy supply, ideally ending with a net positive. Warmer food presumably makes the digestion a little less costly. Cooked meat is definitely more rewarding (energy-wise) than raw meat (because it costs less to digest), so maybe warm food is a heuristic for cooked food as well.

There's nothing terroristic about killing civilians on a bridge. A bridge is a valid military target (esp. in this case), and so bombing the bridge is fine in a war. If civilians are on the bridge and die, too bad: that's what happens in a war.

Bombing a hospital or a school is terroristic and illegal according to the rules of war.

Usually when something is called "meta" it means that it is special and does not compose.

I had someone explaining D templates to me on an Idris meetup, but it's been a few years, so I might very well be wrong here and not remember correctly. I'm happy to be corrected.

There is no possibility of commercial quantities of lithium being extracted from seawater. It exists at concentrations of 0.1-0.2ppm. It will never happen. You have swallowed myths and fantasies of your own.

Also, a fuel cell is a battery. In fact, a lithium-air battery is a fuel cell. If you are bringing up lithium-air batteries, you are unwittingly admitting that hydrogen fuel cells are a viable technology for transportation purposes.

It is likely because about 25% of the country would not like a more liberal immigration policy.

There are merits to immigration but the politics around this has become toxic.

I do not know how the US gets back on this horse without having bipartisan legislation.

Such legislation looks pretty hard to be supported by a majority of the republic party’s primary voters. So, the question is what gives.

Any one sided policy moves on this by the Democratic Party would likely face risk to be reversed.

Thank you for bringing this up. This has been mentioned in another thread as well - I have created an issue and will be looking into this.
The A380-800 was vastly overbuilt, as it is, in essence, a shrink. Shrinks are always the least efficient airplanes in a family. Usually larger variants are more efficient, while smaller variants tend to be more capable (in terms of range, take off performance, etc.). 787-9/10 is a prime example of this, as the 787-10 is just a longer 787-9: the 787-10 can seat more and is quite a bit more efficient than the 787-9, but the 787-9 can fly a lot farther.

The A380 was optimized around a longer variant, the A380-900, with enough margins for an even longer version (an hypothetical A380-1000). Turns out even the A380-800 was too big, so the A380-900 was never built. But the A380-800 still had to carry most of the structure of the heavier variant, making it grossly over-built.

But that doesn't fully explain why the A380 is so bad for cargo compared to the 747-8F: that's due to the "floor" that is an integral part of the structure of the A380. An 747-8F is just an empty tube.
You just adapt, I can make great coffee with a 40 year old Italian Moka Pot that I can get for $5 at a second hand store and will last 200 years or more.

Good article, I also would advise running in HyperV or its 3rd party equivalent, having to re-OS is lame, and using your main OS leaves you open to UEFI attacks.
But it's terrible power for them because now they have to maintain that firmware, and that's very expensive, so they don't do a good job of it at all, and we can pretend it's OK right up until it's not.

I think it’s also that nobody advertises for computing stuff in magazines any more. It’s all internet based now.
How far and how fast was always debatable though.

Airbus was of the opinion that the composites and advances in material design that the 787 represented were not well-advised or going to work out, and they put their money where their mouth was.

Also, a lot of it was due to LCCs and ULCCs eating legacy carriers' lunch. (The former exclusively uses tiny twin engines and the latter are the only operators of the large, hub-to-hub aircraft.) That model has proved more durable than some predictions, and even then that model hasn't always done fantastically; no long-haul LCC has worked out, despite the aircraft for such an operation technically existing.

I learned about it at least a few years ago watching a history of video game speedrunning video (don't remember the specifics from the video or which video it is, sadly). At least 6 years ago, the speedrunning community used the mains hum to prove that a video was spliced together, rather than a continuous stream.

Also, clearly the creator of this page has been recording the mains hum for at least 6 years, so presumably they also knew about it.

I have a background in digital circuits and computer architecture, and I completely disagree with you that these SoC components should be run by the traditional CPU cores. Most of these cores have strict latency guarantees or security boundaries that are much harder to achieve when you are trying to share silicon with the general-purpose code running on the machine, and since the cores are so small, it does not meaningfully save silicon to use them.

OSes are generally terrible at providing strict latency guarantees. If you will crash the CPU if you don't do [X] every 10 microseconds, you should not be telling the operating system to do [X]. This is the case of audio systems, radio systems, PCIe, and almost every other complicated I/O function. These could all be done with hardware state machines, but it is better (cheaper) to use a small dedicated CPU instead.

When I refer to security boundaries, a lot of people think that "security through obscurity" is the idea. It is not. It is more similar to closing all the ports on a server and applying "API security" ideas to hardware. It is a lot easier to secure a function that has a simple queue interface to the main cores than to secure a function that shares the main cores - Spectre and Meltdown have showed us that it might be impossible. Yes, these secure enclaves are used for DRM crap and other nonsense, so I can see why you might not like the existence of that core, but even if you erase the DRM software from that core and make it work for the user completely, you still will want the boundary.

Not to mention that every modern motherboard these days has a board management controller, which cannot be part of the CPU, and controls power and resets.

From a hardware perspective, these SoCs and motherboards really need to be heterogeneous systems. It's up to the system software to work with that. Heterogeneous SoCs really have nothing to do with taking power away from the user. The user can program all of these cores, but we live with abstractions that make it very hard.

I think the main issue I have with it as a proposal is that the fiscal resources required to sustain such a program only exist at the federal level, and it's not ethical to embark on such an endeavor if there is no solid 60-vote bloc in the Senate and poor people are at risk of getting the rug from pulled out from under them.

I find it hard to imagine anything that qualifies as ‘lack of success’ in the context of Europe.

Do you have a house, a car, and children going to college/university? Then you are successful as far as Europe is concerned, and that’s basically everyone.

Of course, that’s been going down the drain in the past 10-20ish years for reasons I’m not sure about. Nobody can buy a €500k home on a median salary any more.

No I believe someone has ported the library to IPFS but it’s not reliant on it in any way.
At least read the article.
"But is there a dark side to decentralization? We often hear concerns about how peer-to-peer networks may be used by bad actors to support illegal activity. These concerns are important but sometimes overstated.

One area where IPFS improves on HTTP is in allowing comprehensive auditing of stored data. For example, thanks to its content-addressing functionality and, in particular, to the use of unique and permanent content identifiers, IPFS makes it easier to determine whether certain content is present on the network, and which nodes are storing it. Moreover, IPFS makes it trivial for users to decide what content they distribute and what content they stop distributing (by merely deleting it from their machines)."
