That page describes Southwest's obligations after "controllable cancellations." When a cancellation is outside their control, Southwest only offers to "seek to arrange a discount" on accommodations. They list "weather" and "FAA-required crew duty limitations" as elements outside their control.
Yes and no. You can still record the original music again, but with a brand new orchestra. Is it materially different then? From a legal standpoint? From an individual standpoint?
That's OK, but it should always be treated as a last resort, lest perverse incentives creep in. Ideally, state programs would not see any cost reduction from losing someone to (state-assisted) suicide to avoid such incentives - perhaps they should be forced to continue paying the same amount they would have payed to the living person into some other fund or something of the same kind.

No one should be confronted with the choice of whether to take their own life to make things simpler for others - living for your own sake, no matter how much of a burden you may be on others, is a basic right that assisted suicide programs can easily start infringing if not implemented very carefully.
It feels like social security should be split into two things: disability for workers pre-retirement, and a Trust fund for retired workers. They are using the first as a justification to plunder the second.

If it was just a retirement trust fund it would be ludicrous for the government to handle it in the way they do.
I wonder if this will be in the french, german, italian newspapers and where.
And if it gets tv time.

In Bruxelles, this will be discussed and qhile they arent elected directly, they cannot pass any crap whatsoever there, there is always oposition on everything there.

Trademarks should be limited to providing identification for a business, not something that applies to products or cultural elements.

You shouldn't be able to hold a trademark on "Star Wars" or "iPhone," but should be able to for LucasFilm or Apple. All product names should be effectively generic.

Copyright and patents should just be straight up abolished, or at least severely scaled back and limited to 1-3 years.
I don't know if it's that simple. If you deliberately search for the shadowbanned content, you are going to find it. The action being taken is to not serve it in algorithmically driven feeds to users who aren't necessarily looking for it. There are so many variables at play, it can be hard to know if something is truly being shadowbanned.
It's nightmarish in India too right now. The spam is relentless, but they now target Whatsapp messages. Older people in India treat Whatsapp as the gospel and believe that anything that pops up on Whatsapp is "official".

I've got my parents to essentially keep just the bare minimum in their bank accounts, to cancel all debit cards, and keep all extra funds in fixed deposits that you can't withdraw from online (have to visit the branch).
The F150 Lightning has been terrible so far as a truck replacement. If you treat it as an oversized car it works (and many Americans do), but put any load on it and the range plummets to useless outside of small city runs.
EU is implementing their own version of ESTA in 2023. US citizens will have to register online and pay a fee to enter Europe starting sometime next year, and their biometrics will be collected.
Looks like that goes to a dead cite but I can find similar numbers from the aluminum trade organization. They don't have an actual methodology that I can see but it's probably safe to assume they're cherry picking numbers. The most likely way is that they're comparing energy used in ore at the factory vs scrap at the factory. That will heavily favor scrap because it excludes all the energy taken to transport it.

>This seems to line up with the fact that you can actually get paid for aluminum cans, the metal used aluminum cans are made of has enough value that it actually makes economic sense to pay people to recycle them.

It's not economically viable to send trucks to pick up people's recycling like most cities do. As an example, my city charged $120 per residence to do that.

You've got to account for everything that goes into the typical single stream recycling we do. The emissions of the trucks, the sorting plants, and the cost to pay people to do this. I've not see an analysis that tracks the carbon emissions of all these to see if it outweighs what we get from recycling. But looking at the dollar flow it seems basically impossible that it's a net positive. You just can't charge $120 a year to haul away $30 of scrap (or less) and end up with a carbon savings.
What blows my mind is scammers can spoof real people's phone numbers... Like shouldn't that be a top priority to shut down ?
Ha, I wonder if that structure provides any more insights into pH.
The primary hurdle is the number of "activity types" practice can come from. Simply reviewing material isn't sufficient for learning and so we need more engaging practice as well. Also, similar to how "all students are different", topics encompass a large number of subskills that need to be trained and not all activity types target those skills. Also, "learning" something is quite complex - is simple repetition of the fact sufficient, or do we need the ability to apply the skill?

Its actually research we're doing at NC State. At present, we understand spaced, deliberate practice is beneficial [1] but students will largely reject AI recommendations to complete lower-level practice [2]. So our current methods are to develop a system that maintains an "instructor in the loop" to create tailored training regimens (my terminology for it), similar to how a coach builds regimens for athletes. The hope is that if we can analyze how instructors made their recommendations, we could then design AI to mirror the decisions.

It's the spike protein that would mutate so as not to be attached by antibodies, but it would still attach to cell receptors (probably different ones).

Yes, new mRNA vaccines could be produced and distributed, thereby generating even more tolerance as this article shows and making things even worse for people's immune systems if so. The point is these vaccines are generating resistance to the virus but at the same time, unlike traditional ones, they are making the immune systems tolerant of the virus. The infection is incompletely suppressed, symptoms are mild or imperceptible, but the virus is getting passed on despite being partly suppressed.

The emergence of new strains is favored when there is a large medium (the reservoir population of people, tolerant but infected and shedding) where the virus can proliferate (thus plenty of viral code copying, where mutations happen) and where there is selective pressure (i.e., an advantage to the new strain such as being able to enter cells even more effectively because of the lack of interference compared to the current strain) for a mutated virus to thrive.

It would be harder to tackle because it would be even more infective than the current strain (given the tolerance that has been introduced in the population) but at the same time more aggressive (because more cells being entered would mean more damage to the body) and maybe with different kinds of damage (because it could trigger autoimmune responses, they say, although I'm not sure how that argument goes).

I'm not an expert on this so I cannot elaborate further, but that's the idea as far as I grasp it. We'll see, I guess.
That’s pretty fancy insurance. Check out healthcare.gov and you’ll find many plans where the premium plus deductible are much lower than $20k.
> would not have any access to private data due to encryption

It's pretty difficult to fully scrub yourself of the metadata involved in making a connection to a server. For sure it can be minimized, like Signal does. But this has inherent UX tradeoffs that most people are not willing to make, like requiring you share your phone number to use the service, and not having server-based backup (yet, at least).

I don't really think things are going to get THAT bleak just because I understand this to be at the discretion of individual doctors and it just feels a bit like a slippery slope fallacious argument. But the way things are NOW is pretty bleak, I mean they're definitely looking at it in a utilitarian money saving way.

I've always been a supporter of medically assisted dying but you have to be so incredibly careful in implementing it. I don't think this is a great example of a fantastic implementation when you have people who are already on the edge of treatable mental illness crisis situations who simply aren't getting the best treatment they could be getting, publicly considering suicide with their friends. Like it just isn't what I would call the kind of society I'd like to live in, just hearing that is beyond stressful bullshit. I've already lost enough people to that. It just makes the general mental health climate feel soured. There's TV commercials promoting it and shit, and it just sends off huge NO bells in my mind. [1] I mean sure if you have cancer and everything didn't work and it's just excrutiating pain? Dementia and you are on the verge of aspiration pneumonia because you forgot how to eat? There's tons of conditions I have it in mind for but mental health problems is not the business...

Anyways I am on my way to the tropics again for sunshine and happiness haha

As a leader of software teams at various points of my career, I have to completely reject this notion.

In a poorly managed project, yes, the last 10% of a project is 90% of the work. A healthy project puts 90% of the work at the front: the work of planning, narrowing scope, thinking creatively about what could go wrong, leaving oneself off-ramps in case of unexpected situations. The speed or cadence of a project should only increase as you near release; momentum should build. There should be a natural period of "dust settling" before production, rather than scrambling to pull the system into a healthy state.

If an engineer repeatedly says they're "close," but cannot quantify such a statement, I find they're (generally speaking) completely full of it.

Perhaps Tesla's situation is unique (or perhaps not). Musk has repeatedly said it's difficult to gauge completion date because no one has built this software before, so there is no benchmark. Having just sold my Tesla in favor of a competitor, I suppose I won't be there for the release anyway!
I agree with "evil" being melodromatic of a term. I was just using it for consistency.

Bad behavior being eventually codified into a standard because implementations were lax and it's impossible to go back on what everybody is now already doing is the story behind much of the modern web as it exists. HTML requiring closing tags for some elements, requiring a lack of closing tags for others, and leaving the closing tag still optional for yet others is a side effect of common browser behaviors.

You're right that many implementations with different wrongness smooths out the average in many cases, except when all those implementations are expected to behave the same way on the same bad data. Then they all converge to the same bad behavior, which then becomes the new standard. Perhaps that's organic and natural, but I still wish we had a world where HTML was strictly compatible with XML, or with any other structured and predictable format.
Looks extremely promising, cross-platform.
My top top pick is actually a youtube channel that does movie essays: https://www.youtube.com/@filmjoy

They are terrifically well researched with a bunch of easter eggs and production backstory and are put together in a high production value, thoughtful way.

They really made me love and appreciate film much more.

I think it's the same way as musicians appreciating music, right?

Non-musicians might say learning more about music theory, makes some music seem less magical in a 'knowing how it was done' sort of way.

But like a musician actively listening, watching film from a more critical viewpoint/lens is really fantastic. You start to think about things like 'who was the cinematographer?', 'Who did the music and score?' and enjoying finding things like how a certain director has a certain motif.

As for the film list:

- The lord of the rings trilogy, is I assume mandatory watching for all at this point.

- The Matrix trilogy, supplemented by the movie essay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0VnYcMHuDc

- Whiplash (2014) A J.K simmons masterpiece

- Sicario (2015) Cinematographer Roger Deakins doing some amazing work alongside Denis Villeneuve.

- Blade Runner 2049 sort of an obvious choice but beautifully made, better than the original in all ways except maybe soundtrack. The original Vangelis Blade Runner music is sort of genre defining.

- Black Hawk Down (2001) Absolutely stellar cast some of whom in their first role or wouldn't have their breakout role until several movies later.
Possibly one of the most well paced movies, it's extremely clear and coherent throughout. It's also tidy self and self contained, no one said lets make 10 sequels and a cinematic universe. Dealt with the morals and psychology of war that would be further touched on in Jarhead (2005) another great movie.

- The Hurt Locker (2008) If Jarhead is a claustrophobic look at how useless and powerless an average infantry soldier can feel during war, The Hurt Locker is a study of a soldier addicted to it. Through a lens of up close nihilism.

- The silence of the lambs (1991) Hannibal Lecter / Anthony Hopkins with a bunch of scenes that are so good they are studied in film schools. Genre best horror-thriller.
All that is great but out of date. For the bivalent booster, we have:

Does anyone under 40 right now seriously expect to be able to collect social security at retirement age? It just seems like a cruel joke at this point.
So many of these scam call center operators masquerade as honest businessmen, even winning local awards. Sickening.
Borg is very good. The V2 repository format will bring in a lot of improvements, particularly in cryptography.

At least in the UK and Australia where I have lived the majority of parcels come via the default carrier e.g. (royal mail or auspost).
Understandable position, but I think you should be aware that the US Government is capable of moving fast and decisively in rare but unpredictable circumstances. Only 44 days elapsed between 2001/9/11 and the passage of the Patriot Act on 2001/10/25.

Things usually don't change that fast, but nobody can truly predict the geopolitical landscape even half a year into the future.
And I miss the form factor of the iPhone 5. Does that mean Apple should be forced to make devices of that size indefinitely? I don’t think so.

You’re demanding that the government force people to make things that they no longer want to make, usually because the product is no longer profitable. Someone has to pay for the workers and factories needed to produce these products. Better it be you than the >99% of taxpayers who don’t want battery-powered wired headphones.
I'm wondering how long before we get to the part where you tell me you're a troll who has been misconstruing everything I say to keep me going to ultimately win by wasting my time after I claimed not to want to waste it?

Interestingly this was all in the curriculum for my high school chemistry class.
If space is the issue, let's note that one human requires 1-2 hectares of agricultural land, in production every year, to meet basic food and material requirements. Rail, air and ship transport can correct imbalances in food production and demand on a global scale, but only to a limited extent, as it costs energy - fossil, solar, wind, nuclear, etc. - to transport goods from point A to point B on the globe in a timely manner.

If often think, when reading articles like this, that the philosophers, economists and other social scientists all need to take remedial courses in basic thermodynamics, as applicable to physics, chemistry, and biology.

In biological terms, it's also undeniable that widely accessible long-distance air/ship travel has scrambled human population genetics like nothing else in the history of the human species, which is certainly a significant effect as well, with all kinds of implications for the future.
Operating a receiver in a warzone is always going to be tricky, and operating a transmitter even more so because it might give your opponent targeting information (and that includes jammers, which you really don't want to leave sitting around for too long or artillery will find them for sure).

The fact is: the Russians have to date been unsuccessful in suppressing Starlink signals, for a variety of reasons including some countermeasures.

But let's not pretend that the main cost is in that aspect of operating the service. The main cost is in making and launching the satellites and once those costs have been sunk further use of the system assuming the terminals are bought and paid for.

As time goes on and parties are getting more inventive likely there will be some more defenses against countermeasures. But a LEO based satellite system has a number of advantages over a GEO based one and those operate in war zones all the time. Hacks of Starlink satellites and terminals have - afaik - not happened.

GGGP claimed: "The expensive part is not the terminals, it is providing continuous reliable service in a hostile environment with a determined adversary." -> I see no evidence for that. It is a cost, but not the cost.

Note that Elon has a vested interest in making it appear as though he is spending a lot of money on keeping Starlink online in Ukraine, personally I would not put it past him to inflate those costs.

Different replier - no but they're incompetently handling the problem because these call centers haven't seemed to pop up elsewhere

Now before you say "well India has high English proficiency" countries like Nigeria, Kenya and the Philippines best India here with higher English proficiency and don't have the issue (Nigeria has a similar email one of course) They're quite a bit poorer as well.

There's some major policy failure here India needs to figure out. Of course they don't want rampant crime but everything points to how they're domestically handling that crime as the problem here.

I don't know if you've noticed, but the Supreme Court routinely flouts long-held interpretations of statute for nakedly ideological reasons. Rights don't mean anything if the government isn't willing to grant them, unfortunately. I would not bet on this court preserving a right to encryption as you describe it.

Is this fee widespread and becoming moreso, or is it merely buried in the taxes for five counties out of five hundred thousand? Is it a financial risk to Amazon that consumers would rebel against being charged fees per bag/box?
Laika was launched into orbit in 1957. At that time "Russia" was a member of the USSR (soviet union) called the "Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Soviet_Federative_Soci...). That government collapsed in 1991, and was replaced by the current "Russian Federation" government.

Which is relevant history to your question, because SOP for the USSR/RSFSR is very different from SOP for the current government. The current gov is corrupt and lies, but has entirely different motivations than the government that lied for 34 years about Laika.

"Living standards" is such a weaselly term here. Yeah maybe you can afford a dishwasher and a car and nice clothes, but what about when you step outside your door? Being in a city with interesting things to do is an intangible good that many people like, compared to being in a smaller town with fewer amenities (nevermind well-paid jobs). It used to be affordable, now it's expensive. That's a regression no matter how you slice it.

Most of the wage growth in big cities goes straight into landlords' pockets. It's no way to run a civilization.

And at any rate, you can't even live the 60s life if you wanted to. It's either impossible or illegal.
At the very least, you shouldn't be spending more on gatekeeping to prevent fraud than you'd lose to said fraud. I'm pretty sure that our system is way over that line.

They dropped radar, not lidar. But apparently are bringing back a new and improved version with higher range and resolution. Last I heard it was supposed to ship in cars produced in Jan. They already filed the related FCC paperwork.
