The video shows it using kart tyres, and I would be interested to see what it would do with proper drag radials, since they change shape quite a lot during a launch: https://www.caranddriver.com/features/columns/a26089565/drag...

>The massive torque channeled through the rear axle shifts the load of the car rearward and tries to twist the tire on its 16-inch beadlock rim. The sidewalls wrinkle as the tire—generally running between 6.0 and 10.0 psi of pressure—shrinks in radius by more than six inches and the tread effectively balls up at the front of the contact patch. That compression of the tire expands the contact patch to almost 250 square inches—larger than two side-by-side sheets of 8.5-by-11-inch paper. The compression of the tire also means that the final-drive ratio is effectively shortened for a harder launch. By the time the tire has released the torque stored in its wrinkled sidewalls and tread and grown back to its original size, the Top Fueler is already pulling more than 4.00 g's of acceleration.

>After the car launches, inertia grows the tire to as much as 38 inches in diameter, simultaneously lengthening and narrowing the contact patch. This effectively lets the final-drive ratio grow taller for higher speeds and reduces rolling resistance as the vehicle hits terminal velocity.

Effectively a big CVT with no moving parts.
If you're talking pure iron, then yes - it's very ductile and malleable. However, the low end of carbon allowed while still calling something steel is .3%, so with a few exceptions (wrought iron, which is arguably very soft steel), it's rare to run across it.

There are of course ways to treat cast iron so it's decently durable (ductile iron), but it's still pretty brittle compared to 99% of steel in the real world.
There seems to be a misunderstanding here. If we view our governments the same way we do HR as the above comment suggests, as in they have another group controlling their interests over our own, then democracy does not exist within this structure.

Those programs are universally designed to buy votes, rather than firearms.

They are wasting public funds to further their narrative that gun violence is an entirely natural phenomenon - sort of like a hurricane - where people people involved in it are universally victims of the circumstance and have no agency in the matter.

You are already making up for lazy workers without a union. It's just that they're your bosses, not your co-workers.

You are working harder than you need to so more money goes to shareholders and executives can hire less and delegate less.

A union doesn't solve or make that problem worse, it just gives you more power in the relationship.

This is standard contract law. With a contract in place, companies are required to adhere to the language of the contract, any any change needs to be negotiated (or the contract needs to expire).

Adding a benefit or removing it without going through a contract causes all kinds of legal liabilities (employees may assume it as a permanent perk). Union leadership also don't typically want perks granted that they didn't negotiate for (why would people "choose" to pay for a union otherwise).

I'd say the two fields are very different. In the case of NLP - they watched very successful therapists in the 1970s, noticed some common themes, and extracted out a model. So for example, Milton Erickson would tell artfully vague stories to his clients, which were clever metaphors for healing, tailored to the individual. It's difficult to run scientific experiments to prove the efficacy of this - it depends on the skill of the practitioner and every client will need something different, so flexibility is key, not replicability of a technique which can be codified and taught.

CBT on the other hand, definitely ticks all the evidential boxes.

I think the two can be complementary - CBT has strong evidence for success, but maybe, the codified, procedural nature of it limits it somehow.

An NLP practitioner could try something completely different outside of any rule book if the client wasn't responding to something.

Anyway, I don't have a horse in this race, just a very curious lay-person with a few favourite classic books on these subjects.

My coworkers and I were all illegally fired in retaliation for forming a union a few years ago. The federal agency that investigates violations of labor law found the employer to be obviously at fault, and we settled for cash.

As part of the federal investigation it came out that the employer had drawn up a list of employees they wanted to keep if at all possible. I was on that short list; but once it became clear I was pro-union, they fired me anyway.

Contrast that with the actual union contracts coverings software devs being bargained at places like the New York Times or Kickstarter. I'll take my peers' idea of a fair process over the employer's any day.
"7. Using Eigenvalues to Estimate Conditioning"

Putting this out to invoke Cunningham's Law... my intuition says that while the article may be right about matrices in the real numbers, using the eigenvalues to check for closeness to singularity may be more valid on the floats, because probably what you're testing for isn't "closeness to singularity" but how close you are to having floating point failures, and that seems at least likely to be heavily correlated.

I now sit back and wait for someone to explain why this is wrong while I act like this was an entirely unanticipated result of my post.
Interesting. I've had the opposite experience. On-call was never expected (for software engineers... for Ops people in the NOC, SREs, etc., it was an explicit job requirement) at the larger places I've been inside of, but it has been an expectation (typically unspoken, typically in-addition-to an on-call rotation) for the smaller places and startups I've worked at.

This is brilliant work and I think their soft-body model is pretty simple and understandable why it "works":

> The basic principles in short: TPE uses soft body physics, bodies are modelled as spheres connected by springs but the springs can be made stiff so that the bodies behave almost like rigid bodies, so you can simulate (fake) both soft and rigid physics. Environment in which bodies are placed is modelled by distance functions, i.e. you can in theory create any environment as long as you can create a function that for any point in space returns the closest point to the environment (functions for basic and some more complex shapes are included in TPE).
Getting prescribed meds was the single biggest game changer so that makes sense to me…though I guess everyone is different.

you say that like chrome hasn't had pdf vulnerabilities patched in their javascript viewer, but of course they have. This idea of just linking to PDFs and having people click on them seems like a bad idea.
I suspect they are getting confused with the NLRA Section 8(a)(1), which among other things prohibits employers from:

> Withhold changes in wages or benefits during a union organizing campaign that would have been made had the union not been on the scene, unless you make clear to employees that the change will occur whether or not they select the union, and that your sole purpose in postponing the change is to avoid any appearance of trying to influence the outcome of the election.

However, this is only relevant during the organizing campaign. Not after, as is the case here.

> Definitely the end of my Signal usage anyway. It's my main SMS app: my primary motivator is SMS UX, the ability to securely message a tiny subset of my friends is a very nice but ultimately non-vital bonus.

I think this is the crux of it. Your primary motivator may be for a better SMS UX. But Signal's primary motivator is to provide universal secure messaging, but your typical use of Signal doesn't do that. So it's no surprise that their plans mismatch your expectations.
Look, I don't agree with the parent's viewpoint either but this comment is entirely unhelpful and borderline a person attack. Can we not?
Many people have commented on why this is devastating news regarding future adoption of Signal. But there is a second part to the announcement that hasn't received a lot of attention yet:

> If you want to keep them, you’ll also need to export your SMS messages from Signal into that new app.

So that means my text messages will be removed from my Signal chat history? Put differently, considering how many of my contacts over the years switched between using Signal, not using Signal, and using Signal again, this means that parts of my conversations will suddenly be gone and conversations might suddenly be incoherent?

I have trouble expressing just how angry I am about this change.

You are not alone my friend.

The best I can recommend you would be to start dealing with handcrafting chores.

Try to avoid social media and news, reduce your internet usage in general and pay close attention to little things that you let go unnoticed in the past.

You know, things like how wind blows through trees and leaves, observe the sky, the birds, anything that can let your mind go free without thinking pretty much anything negative.

I have been doing this for a while now and have noticed tremendous difference; it could work with you too, why not?

== Right. I've been there in the business practices but I've never been a type-A black man trying to succeed against all odds in a racist nation. ==

This is exhausting. In your mind, one 75-year-old black man can speak for all of DEI, but actual Credit Union experts have no idea how to run Credit Unions. Meanwhile, the head of the CUs is a black man and also an expert in CUs. He succeeded against all odds in a racist nation, but you have completely de-valued his thoughts/experience because you dug in so deep.

== Right, and they also don't have anything to do with race quotas.==

Who mentioned quotas? This is the tactic you've shown over-and-over again in this discussion, continually throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. You move the conversation away from the actual topic to go down some rabbit hole.

In this market what counts is performance/watt ratio.

That was also excellent for Cherry Trail, with an SDP of 2 watts. When you have some time sit down and compare the benchmarks from a Cherry Trail tablet like the Surface 3 and its successor chips like the 4415Y. The 4415Y like the one in the Surface Go is three years newer, has a 60% higher TDP, a Recommended Customer Price over four times higher, and while its 3D chops are better it actually benchmarks lower than the Cherry Trail chip in PCMark.

Not really, high speed train lines do it all the time. They usually operate at 25 kV or 50 kV and often consume a few megawatts per train.

(At 50 kV, one megawatt is only 20 amps, which you can deliver on 12 AWG wire, theoretically.)
