I think you are both right to a certain extent. As the comment thread demonstrates, some people think the literal definition of used is exploitative. This begs the question of why people thank the literal definition is different. I think a reasonable hypothesis is that American English speakers communicate less with non-native speakers who have learned a textbook definition.
I have seen such chains at Amazon. IC -> Manager -> Sr Manager -> Director -> VP -> SVP -> CEO of AWS -> CEO of Amazon.

That's only 7, but some links repeat. For example, I have seen Sr Manager report to another Sr Manager. Likewise, a VP report to another VP, and a Director report to another one.
While that's certainly possible, in my very limited experience, the more dangerous things are the more professional the response.

Sure there's the initial surprise, sure there's the post-mortem release of emotional energy, but after the initial surprise it's all business. The pilots are communicating with each other, there's a lot of information, and tasks, to keep them occupied.

Relentless training for situations that "never happen" means that professionals go into a low-emotion state, and rely on memorized behaviours and checklists, coupled with intense intellectual evaluation.

See the audio from sullys Hudson landing. It's all simple communication, coupled with drilled responses (restart engine, start apu etc) being driven from cool analytical data processing - what will work, what won't etc.

Training the emotion (panic, fear etc) out of you is the very goal of training for extremely intense, life threatening, situations.

If the cockpit recordings are released it'll be interesting to know if I'm right, but the level of professionalism displayed by the FedEx crew suggests to me that they are both highly trained, and worthy of that training. Congratulations to them and their trainers.
We’ve just had a 15 year boom market. Layoffs are a distant memory
Hmm, wish this had been built as a PocketPy -> LLVM compiler. While the compiler might not have been lightweight, the final emitted binaries would have been superfast.
It is not a big deal. Ioannidis has been peddling basically the same study for years now. He put his reputation on the line in the early weeks of the pandemic by making some very badly thought out predictions. He believed the pandemic would kill a total of 10k people in the US, and basically ridiculed the people who thought it would be even as serious as the flu. That particular prediction was made when there were a hundred dead; his threshold of 10k was reached three weeks later.

But John wasn't discouraged! He then predicted that there would be at most 40k dead, and that it was imperative for there to be no measures that could hurt the economy. That number was exceeded 10 days after his prediction.

Since then, he has been trying to convince people that he really was right all along, and basically nobody died just like he predicted.
How is this the first time I heard about this!? Thanks
200yd for a regular M&M, you'd have to run down and back (600yd) for a peanut M&M.

You'd have to walk roughly 2.5 miles to burn off a bag of either since there are fewer peanut ones in a bag.
GSoC was a great experience. It was my first time planning a major contribution to an open source project. It would have been much more challenging for me without the help of my mentor and the other core contributors, so it is important to have a good support system for any involved.

My projects were focused on user interface improvements, so I also spent a lot of time gathering feedback from users. It was really valuable for me to learn how to get feedback at different stages of the development cycle, and also to learn how to filter the good from the bad feedback.

I hope Gitea is accepted!
In this particular Youtube video, they mentioned that the object that hit Earth was 500km or roughly 38 times larger than the one that killed the dinosaurs. I could believe that the Earth was sterilized from an impact that large.
Moons ago, Thunderf00t had a video on the topic.

People who think they're going to lose any significant weight by exercising are likely deluding themselves.

I would:

- GLP-1 agonist

- Metformin

- Throw out most of the carbs and oils

- Only buy foods with low caloric density

Effective and low-risk exercise is good for its own many purposes. Almost no one makes effective use of time and effort in the gym because they would need to understand muscle fiber types, biomechanics, risks to joints, appropriate exercises with form, what the data says to do in a given scenario, have that enormous data set interpreted by sports medicine data scientists, and chart progression of sets. An approximate template of general recommendations based on older data is available in the convenient form of a book called "Body by Science."
Who cares about the trademark? The tech community has a meaning for the term. Everyone has understood what it meant for decades. Why would you try to deliberately take away the meaning?

Language is useful.
Last year Google showed COVID misinformation in its "suggested answers" above actual results, so this may not be worse than the status quo.

Who is saying that procedures allow one plane to take off when one is "3 miles out" or 65 seconds out at a very conservative estimate of a reasonable speed. This isn't a lack of attention or coordination. He literally decided that one plane could take off in that space and repeatedly confirmed this decision.
> DEI statements are absolutely viewpoint statements,

No, they aren’t. They are “how have/would/will you achieve specific goals” statements. Some actual prompts (with institution names removed as a distraction here, if included) [0]:

“Applicants should submit a statement explaining how their teaching at the College will contribute to a culture of inclusion and campus diversity.”

“A description of how the applicant would contribute to the development of a diverse and inclusive learning community at <institution> through her/his teaching, research, and/or service.”

“[…] discuss how the candidate would help achieve <institution>’s goal to attract and graduate more women, Hispanic, and students from other underrepresented groups.”

“Qualified candidates should submit […] a diversity statement (describing how you incorporate diversity into your teaching, research, and/or service)”

“Pursuant to the college’s vision for cultivating a diverse and inclusive community, the search committee will ask all applicants to address how their past and/or potential contributions might serve to advance <institution>’s commitment to teaching and mentoring young people from a variety of personal experiences, values, and worldviews that arise from differences of culture and circumstance.”

> If a public school’s “organization goals” have extended into the realm of advancing DEI political ideology,

Diversity is well-established (in cases both supporting and striking down particular diversity policies) as a compelling government interest under; promotion of diversity is not outside the remit of public universities, and, therefore, neither is asking prospective employees both their track record on advancing, and their plans going forward to advance, that interest in their work.

For whatever reason the ARM version of Transmission does not work well on my M2 laptop - it downloads quickly at first and then drops off to zero, and had some other bugs (the x86 version always worked flawlessly). I tried playing around with different settings, running their nightly builds, etc, and nothing fixed it for me. In the end I searched for other clients and found them all filled with ads and bloatware, and decided to use this excellent open source command line client instead:

https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent

It has a few frontends built on top of it (linked in the project readme), but I just run `torrent download <magnet link>` and it downloads at full speed / with no issues.
According to "No Rules Rules", letting a person not a great fit go makes the team more robust. I believe honesty is essential. How about explaining the differences between expectations and outcomes clearly and helping the person find a job that fits?

I'm not saying this specific problem doesn't exist in a lot of western democracies, but the nature of how and why your retirement nest egg is drained and at what rate varies.

Basically, altzheimers is awful, and it drains anyone's nest egg but exactly when, and why, and at what rate and to what end-outcome is highly specific to where you are. It works out different in Japan, Australia, Argentina, the USA.

The messaging in Australia around "how much is enough" in our equivalent of the 401(k) is quite complex. If you have more than $500,000 (this is fermi-number correct, the literal amount is different) for instance, you can't qualify for state pension but can maybe get a seniors health card.

"a comfortable income" for retired people is said (again in Australia) to be $60,000 or less. This is significantly smaller than many people think. It depends on owning your own home. it depends on your expectations of mortality: a secondary problem is that people are terrified of drawing down on capital even though retirement funding models in many economies is PREDICATED on doing this. (we even have a stipulated 4% withdrawal rate minimum to try and ensure people reduce their capital) So, instead people massively over-achieve, to live off income only, and leave a huge estate to their kids.

"it's complicated"
Oh for sure. I wasn't suggesting there's no need for torrents anymore. Like I said, I still torrent, just a lot less than I used to. And I was speculating that this is due, at least in part, to the increased availability of video content on streaming platforms. It used to be that the only way I could see a certain show or movie was by torrenting it.

Well, yes. Allowing people to work from home has massive societal benefits, and we shouldn’t ditch those just to massage some managers ego.
Hello

I want to make the move from development into consultancy and would appreciate hearing how you did it.

I cannot DM you, but if you have the time to type a small paragraph, I'm all ears.

If you don't want to make that public, you can directly email me (<HN-username>@gmail.com)

> I read this to also mean that the risks to adolescents did not warrant school closures

I'm not saying there's an easy answer, but arguments to keep schools open because adolescents (the students) may be in a lower risk pool tend to gloss over the fact that teachers and administrators are often older adults, who are more at risk.
I used to be really involved in RuneScape private server development in the early to mid 2010’s. It is to this day some of the most enjoyable programming I’ve done. The challenge presented by reverse engineering an obfuscated client and building a server framework off of that works almost like a puzzle game.

There were a lot of really talented developers in the space, but unfortunately the predatory donation systems and toxic culture between different servers/projects generally caused the good developers to move away from the community(or be just outright banned from community forums for no sane reason). It’s really nice to see a project in this space building a strong community with good open source culture.

I didn’t see on the website anywhere, but I’m curious if Jagex has given them any kind of permission for distributing the copyrighted assets/client? They may not care since it is focused on very old versions that Jagex themselves don’t even have or intend to profit from ever, but it would be cool to see them actually endorse a community project like this.

This is completely correct. One of the first sentences in the 7110.65 (the FAA document governing ATC rules in the US, often referred to as "the book" by controllers) is "the primary purpose of the ATC system is to prevent a collision involving aircraft operating in the system." Loss of adequate separation between aircraft (called a "deal") is much worse for a controller's career than being inefficient.
> Why cannot descending plane lay a claim on a runway in some computer system and a cabin in Southwest - blare a horn for pilots trying to steer into a claimed runway?

Because you have unions protecting the manual, error-prone job of human operators.
I think it can work in a binary-additive way — the class file gets a new attribute for nullness information, while missing it (older class files) default to “unspecified”. That can be safely consumed by new code, which will get the updated syntax with a new option (specified on a module/package/class basis) where ‘T’ means ‘T!’ and that should be a proper subset of previously compiling code, so I don’t think anything would break that way. Similarly to how generics and unchecked warnings were rolled out.
At that point, December 5th, 2022, they were still a somewhat regular Azure user. The $10 billion deal from Microsoft came a month later, January 10th, 2023.
At least one of the planes in this situation was equipped with the system that lands the plane automatically in almost zero visibility. It’s not a stretch of imagination to see how that can extend to the system that tracks planes on approach to the airport and steering on the ground and extrapolates their trajectories at least for the typical braking/abort time forward. These are not general aviation, these are planes carrying tons of cargo and hundreds of people.
They were already under competitive pressure. I bought a candy bar Sony phone with built-in MP3 player app before the iPhone.

Which is true, but they're much less prominent overall. Mobile Safari is quirky to say the least and is truly the IE of the present day.
Could the Fedex plane have caused wake turbulence for the other plane in this scenario?
This thing doesn't have nearly enough power nor battery on board to run even the smallest stable diffusion model at all, not even talking about the nightmare that would be doing it in realtime.

If you want, you could do it offboard but there's a reason wireless VR headsets don't work, and it's latency.
Interestingly, that address is blurred on Google Street view.

The roads to access the property (Summit Wood as well as Rhus Ridge and especially Bassett Lane) are at most a car and a half wide in some places. Quadrupling the number of cars that come and go is going to be catastrophicly hilarious for those of us who don't live there.

Probably a little less funny when a wildfire rips through there.
very interesting times. a few months back, i started contributing to a mobile browser app (OPEN-SOURCE) that has an integrated wallet. I think browsers are going to have many more usecases than just browsing the web.

Payments is going to be a key enabler - web2 or web3.

I don't think the (drifted) meanings of "lynch" and "witch hunt" are at all the same. The former applies in cases of "that guy is bad and we need to punish him"; the latter in cases of "there are bad people out there and we need to find them".
In this case, move. Or "Move" with a P.O. box / friends address to a small town where you can be fully remote.
Even better is `git gui`, it lets you stage individual line changes.
You can't win debates with such people, about biking or walking; there's always another reason why they (and all other good and upstanding Americans) can't possibly walk or bike. When they run out of their own made up reasons, it's "well what about disabled people!"

Like yeah, they maybe can't, are you disabled? No? Well then.
I'd go further and say that SEO has not only ruined search, but the internet itself.

There's so much crappy content around, generated webpages that aim to match every search query.
I just looked for "four times five" and there's a huge ton of matches, including pages dedicated to "4x5" [0], which I think do more damage to the web than help.

I feel the web is broken. It was modeled around documents and slowly features started creeping in, like adding images, gifs, audio, video, applications (flash, java), 3D, making the document closer to a program. At every step it felt like an improvement, but it seems that we ended up with another C++.
There's probably a law around creating a platform so popular that it'll organically get features until the accidental design is realized to be awful so people start coming up with their ideal subset that works reasonably well because they can't really leave such platform as they became hostages of their investment into it.

As someone who is not familiar with finding medical literature, I would appreciate if you could link to those earlier claims by the author.
Good reason to not get boosted. I'm glad I had the foresight to think "Yeah...I don't need this and I'm more concerned of the side effects than the actual virus."
Yeah, streaming has become such a mess. In the beginning, it felt liberating to cut the cord and the promise was, at least in theory, that you could get just what you wanted with a couple streaming services. But now you have to have 5 or 6 and when combined they are more than cable used to be! Even if those services are available where you live, you might not want to subscribe to yet another streaming service just to catch one episode or one show, especially since a many of the streaming services aren't exactly filled with tons of great content that justifies the permanent subscription.

I hadn't heard of Airflow, thanks for the link. Out of curiosity, if my TV is already AirPlay-enabled, what does Airflow do for me that I can't get by just clicking on my Mac to watch on that screen (although I often just end up connecting my Mac via HDMI because that seems more reliable, at least on my TV)?

Right. We need to stop them from making this a required shot for our children to attend school. The "emergency" is long-gone, and it was never an emergency for kids.
Just saying, it has happened before [1]. Except this time they’d have the perfect cover of “no collusion, the economy is doing bad”. The CEOs of these large companies talk all the time. As do board members. Heck, some even share board members. It’s not that hard at this level to generate collusion that’s hard to prove.

Now I’m not saying this is what’s happened. I’m a big fan of Occam’s razor. But at the same time I wouldn’t dismiss it. Oh and the “massively illegal coordination”? Why don’t you look at what the outcome was of the DOJ prosecution of that case.

[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust...
Couldn’t agree more. Our interests as employees is far different from management and the C-suite. Don’t forget that board members currently have a legal obligation to provide value to investors and no obligation to do the same for their employees.

It’s one of the reasons we see layoffs during a time of record profits. It’s easy to turn humans out to boost the profit margin and the stock value.

I assume that means there are not many iOS users in your area. Luckily Android is easier to provide backward compatibility with Androidx, and there are more users with older devices (maybe 2-3 yrs old) even in the North American market make it more worth the effort.

I'm not telling you how things ought to be (though I have my opinions there, too). I'm telling you how they are. You should avoid using the word "lynch" the way you are. It's a poor rhetorical strategy that will get you into long skinny threads like this more often than you want to be. But, you do you!
>How are you going to sell ads to that?

I'm reluctant to type this, but there's definitely a few ways they can monetize the experience. Just look at how some other companies have monetized their users:

- Roll a video ad inside of a modal popup before showing you the result of your query/question.

- Give users a number of free queries/day, then prompt them to pay a subscription fee for "unlimited" queries.

I'm sure they'll find a way. You might not like it, but they'll figure it out.
