"Plan continuation bias", or as the (powered) aviation community colloquially refers to it, "get-there-itis". It's definitely a common factor in commercial aviation incidents too (though more often 'should we land here or divert' than 'should we take off').

I've never been hang gliding, but I get the sense from the article there there's another factor at play here that may be less applicable to powered pilots that should have a good understanding of the risks from their required training and pre-flight planning. An important element in the essay seems to be that hang glider pilots don't have a good understanding of the risks - due to the way crashes are perceived in the community - and that is a prerequisite for doing a competent risk analysis and formulating a safe plan in the first place. They're blind to the risks they're taking, and consider the sport safe, even when they are frequently crashing.

The teaching point of the essay to me, is more that if something can be 'safely' accomplished 99% of the time, but 1% of the time it is deadly, it is extremely unsafe, but due to confirmation bias from 'always' being successful, won't be seen as risky, and in those situations we humans need to be very deliberate about our decision making.
LSP. The Language Server Protocol. Entirely changed my life for the better this year, once I took the time to get it integrated into Emacs and get the various backends I needed installed.

Easily has saved me hundreds of hours so far, being able to view function prototypes quickly, pull up documentation as an overlay on the code, jumping to the next error, and even down to getting simple things like enumerated 'case' labels inside of a switch statement.
Flip it round. If the Trump White House had ordered social media to suppress reports about their involvement with russia, would that be "ho hum that just happens?"

Here in Europe farmers get generous reparations from the state when wolves or bears kill their livestock. Many wolves (and also eagles and hawks) are illegally killed anyway, probably because hunters and farmers consider them enemies.
I revisited rails this past week for the first time in nearly 10 years. So much easier to quickly develop an app on than what I have been doing. I feel done with the whole SPA thing unless there's no other way to build the app.

But now I'm looking at performance, and memory usage, and phoenix looks very appealing from that side.

Now I think I should try pheonix, since both rails and phoenix are new to me, so I can compare.
It's usually rare enough (winter only, certain days only) that it's not worth bothering; but if you really cared you could easily get a trash can in yellow or something https://www.uline.com/BL_445/Uline-Trash-Cans-with-Wheels

My local UPS has no problem leaving things on the steps (nothing has ever gone missing) but FedEx always backs down my (shortish) driveway and tries to hide it behind a trash can.

Even assuming the trash can above was somehow porch pirate secure, you're looking at 10.4 billion dollars to outfit each house with one, interestingly enough.

How exactly would you break up Wells Fargo into a subset of businesses that had a chance of surviving on their own?

This is especially bad for a bank. Customers would freak out and leave. I can't find a single historical example of a bank breakup that didn't result in the destruction of the entire business.
I wonder how well a simple package bin with lid would work, for a home? It would have to be large enough to take in a couple packages. No lock, either, for ease of delivery.

This way porch thefts must take the action of looking into something, and possibly be disappointed, if empty. I'm curious if that specific action would change the thieves' mental process, along the lines of "out of sight, out of mind".
You could use a credit union.
Question: if she purchased the ticket under her own name and she held a valid ticket upon entry to the venue, would it be fraud if one doesn’t get access to the event? Even more so if she doesn’t get a full refund?

One would presume that there would be measures in place during checkout that would inhibit transactions that go against their policies to not go through.

bash_completion: I can imagine life without it. It's got a pretty nasty api to set it up if you have to but most things are done for you.

If you create your own clis in the format

appname mainoperation flags args/files

writing bash_completion scripts is easier.

I believe git, yum, apt clis are popular for this reason.

I can't imagine the amount of time wasted if bash_completion didn't exist. I would have probably wasted 10000 hours writing guis.

Static IP is most difficult, if you got that, you're good to go...

I don't think people realize how quickly EM radiation falls off with distance, and how large the scale of "transmitters" would need be before we could detect.

Today we can finally, barely detect massive planets occluding suns, and we can only do this in our neighborhood of this galaxy.

Modulated communication from a source not at planetary scale is currently impossible for us to detect.

We need something much much bigger than the Arecibo telescope (RIP).

Arrays of coherent antennas can achieve gains equal to their total aperture, but spacing them out far apart does not help for communication receiver gain G/T. That technique only gives better angular resolution for imaging.

What's annoying is that Amazon has started delivering with their own companies; it is relatively easy to tell UPS/FedEx/USPS to mark your address as "always signature/handoff required" and they'll not deliver if they can't contact you - the smaller companies are hit and miss.

This is in fact more practical than setting up face detection system, all you need to do is ID scanner and some simple OCR system to cross check the name on ID against blacklist, each person entering slaps ID against scanners (similar to how you do it with boarding passes at the airport or with public transit passes at gates), after one second either red or green light flashes. Shouldn’t take more than 5 seconds per person.
Thanks! It's definitely a short list at this point.
I had a few more items in mind but was too eager to share it.
I will add some of your suggestions in the coming days.
I didn't say millions in assets -- in fact, the way the system works is that those are the only people who come out with any of value to pass down to their heirs! The system is working for those people as intended; they benefit from lower costs (since everyone has to pay market price) and they are not penniless from it. The rest are drained of everything they spent their life building, and denied the opportunity to share that with their loved ones.

The thing is that death is a universal experience; Many, if not most of us, will end up needing some form of late-life care. Private insurance companies often won't cover what is ultimately inevitable. It would make sense for more of our public policy to aid in what is so common.

The average nursing home cost is $7k/mo. The average nursing home stay is 1-2 years. That's enough money to bankrupt most US families entirely yet comparatively little in the public budget. We spend _much_ more public money on incarceration every year.
A story from when I was in college:

My backpack got stolen and it had my checkbook in it. I went into Wells Fargo (I became their customer because they bought my regular bank) to figure out what to do. I was told that I had to close my account (connected to the checkbook) and open a new one. Kinda weird, but I went with it. They sent me a new checkbook and new ATM card. Landlord only took payment with checks so I wrote a check with my new checkbook; it bounced. It was really surprising because I thought I had the funds. I check with my balance with my new ATM card; plenty of money. I call customer service to figure out what was going on. It turns out that they had created two new accounts for me. One was connected to my checkbook and one to my ATM card. The one for my checkbook had a bunch of fines for the bounced check and fines for not paying the fines. The one for my ATM card had plenty. They tried several times to open another account to combine the two accounts together, which would have forced me to indirectly pay the fines that weren't my fault; I objected. In process of all of this they canceled my new ATM card accidentally.

I went into my local branch and withdrew all of my money and canceled all of my accounts (I had somehow ended up with 4). I ended up paying my tuition, rent, etc. with cash which was a huge pain.

It is the worst experience I've had with any bank and it was with many different employees.

The best quality traditional style adjustable wrenches I am aware of are made by Bahco. They are made with tighter tolerances than typical Home Depot grade stuff, which reduces slipping and damage caused by jaw movement.

https://www.bahco.com/int_en/products/wrenches/adjustable-wr...

However, I prefer the Knipex pliers wrenches mentioned by other commenters. They are also useful for many other gripping, pressing and bending tasks that the traditional adjustables cannot do.

Edit: For vise grip type tools, Grip-On is the best value/quality. They have a slightly different release mechanism than the Vise-Grip branded tools that improves the ergonomics of the tool significantly. They are (or were last time I checked) relabeled by some high end tool brands like Snap-on. For the most part, I consider them an inherently destructive but sometimes necessary tool that will mess up a fastener. However there are a wide variety of jaw styles (and removable covers) available that can mitigate this, depending on the task.
> value is a function of the labor to produce a good or service, is correct

That appears plainly wrong. Take any rare good where demand for the good exceeds supply - per my original example of silk.

More people want silk than there is supply of silk. The value of silk has nothing to do with it's labor cost. Even if tomorrow the labor of silk was entirely automated, silk would still be expensive.

Nor is this some kind of break of negotiating power. There is no seller/buyer relationship which changes the scarce nature of silk and thus can decrease it's value.
I think the probability of there being other life is much closer to 100%. There just has to be. Our universe offers way to much of the correct “stuff” that can create life that it just has to exist elsewhere.

Why haven’t we seen it? Well that is one of life’s great mysteries.

But the idea we are all alone in this giant thing called the universe… it just doesn’t feel right. The more we learn about things the more we realize humans aren’t really special and neither is our planet. Hell the idea that there are other galaxies is a concept that was only realized around a 100 years ago!

We humans think we know a lot but the truth is there is way, way more stuff we don’t know.

In every day life yes. maybe. Stanford already has that secretive, anonymous discrimination report form and has encouraged students and staff to make reports. So if I speak to my friends I think nothing will happen and daily language may not change.

But the secretive reporting system will make people paranoid and when dealing with administration commissars and academic boards, I imagine the rules will be used to weed out opponents and anyone they believe does not comply with their goals.

And yes it is stupid. There are even words I am surprised they did not include like "fat". Oops, I used the word stupid.

I've got two problems with Rails:

(1) IMHO they've flubbed the progressive typing. I'm spending some time learning Typescript and React. And it's amazing. The type system is flexible, powerful, and works well with an IDE. It's just way faster to write when code gets complexer. The fact that it's null and type safe is the cherry on the top. Amazing that Javascript with all of it's warts can be turned into this.

(2) They've never really got the front end story right. Coffeescript was a dead end, then Turbolinks was the thing, and now it's Hotwire. None of them are really right. Rails will always be a primary SSR paradigm. They just need an easy way to do basic dynamic things like show/hide fields and form error checking clientside. Ideally something written in Ruby and well integrated into the form builder.

A bonus for (3) is that the Rails UI is ugly out of the box. Wish they'd have more integrated UI components that are production ready.
The engineering answer is to test and measure the actual hardware that is being considered because implementations often vary from theory in significant ways due to the quality of components, the competence of the design team, the design priority of energy saving, the design budget, the generation of technology, and other factors that abide in meat-space.

I mean the display panel A might be 20% more efficient than display panel B, but connected to a power supply that is half as efficient as B's.

Good luck.

This reminds me of an incident that showed up in one of my college courses: A forklift driver who got fired for drinking Budweiser.

As a rancher in Texas, I have more problems with Cougars than wolves. Neither or an issue really. Wild pigs and coyotes are a problem and must be managed. Water and air quality (much improved since I was a child 40 years ago) and the depredations of apex predators (moronic politicians guided by ignorant electorate) are the real killers.

That said, there are places in N America where the reintroduction of wolves can be an issue if the numbers introduced are too zealous (too many for their natural food source).

>state should in general not compel individuals (or businesses) to do things they don't want to do.

This is a very easy thing to say as a member of majority groups, but American (and South African and European, and...) history has shown that this attitude leads to some of the most grotesque outcomes in history.

And where does it end? Should subsidies and variable tax rates be illegal (hope you're not a member of a church or a supporter of the arts!)? Those are control mechanisms the government uses to influence behaviors.

Should federal employment be illegal? I don't think most Soldiers would risk their lives if not for the paycheck/benefits.

I've encountered the term 'spade' in the fetish community in reference to interracial cuckolding fantasies. Maybe that's it.

Nice tools are nice because they use more resources.

A Milwaukee drill is physically heavier than a Ryobi of the same size - purely because of all of the upgraded components to make it more durable/longer-lasting.

But if you are only touching 5% of the expected lifespan of your tool, no need to have one that's over-engineered.
That doesn't really solve the problem because the simulation is (apparently) big enough to allow life to evolve. Why couldn't life evolve multiple times in a simulation?

Isn't the argument about simulation more about pondering the question "what is the fundamental nature of reality?", not "why is there life?". If you say that some beings are interfering with our simulation (either designing life, or preventing other life, etc...), that is just another word for god.
