Titanium is quite expensive. I don't know if it makes sense to compare it to mild steel and not compare it to fancier steel selections which are still much less expensive than titanium and also much easier to work.

AR500 has a HRC of 47, modulus of 220 GPa, and tensile strength of 1740 MPa. Ti-6Al-4V is 37, 113.8 GPa, and 880 MPa respectively. The AR500 costs less than half as much as the Ti, and is much easier to work (though obviously working will degrade the properties).

The titanium is super really light, however... so the choice of material will depend on how relatively important weight is vs size and how simple your geometry is such that the added difficulty in working with Ti doesn't add problems.

Obviously there are also other grades of Ti too, but I think the comparison generally holds: If you don't care about weight/mass there is a steel selection which will be stronger, cheaper, and easier to form.

If you do care a lot about weight, an aluminum alloy often comes out the winner unless you just don't care much about costs or have fatigue concerns.
Yep, self-determination is a really really big deal.

But figuring out how to incentivize people to self-determine their way into doing 100% of the things an organization needs to do is a real trick! Some work that still needs to be done just isn't great.

The typical approach is to use a combination of money and "skin in the game" (ownership) to cover those cases. And I think that's essentially the right approach, but this simply won't work for everyone.

And the thing is that it's super tough to separate out less fulfilling work into a distinct job role that can be more highly compensated and done by people who find that more motivating.

I think the best I've seen it work is for managers, who people already expect to be more financially compensated, to fill in these kinds of cracks. If there's something their team needs to do that just isn't getting done without them directing one of their reports to do it, can they do it themselves instead? (And maybe while they're doing it, they can be thinking about whether there is a way someone could build a tool to make it trivial to do the next time it comes up, and then they can probably get their team more excited about building that tool.)

At one time teletype switching was done in centers where the incoming line was connected to a tape punch. The operator tore the tape off the punch, read the destination address punched at the beginning of the tape, and put the tape on a tape reader connected to an outgoing line to another center closer to the destination. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_relay

We used to have a Bolt, and it had some whine. My '19 P3D had a lot of whine at full tilt, and my '23 3LR has a good bit as well. My guess is all EVs have it to some extent.

No, the reason many meat products are "rather tasteless" is due to the low-fat movement of the 1970's, when animals started being bred for more muscle and less fat -- particularly chickens (absurdly large chicken breasts) and pigs (pork chops used to be fatty and marbled like a ribeye, now they're dry and flavorless).

You can still get a fantastically flavorful pork chop anywhere in Japan, for example, where they didn't adopt the low-fat pig breeds. Chicken is far juicier as well. It's still just as industrialized, though.

Meat in the wild is generally gamier, which isn't what most people usually mean when they say more flavorful -- gamy flavors can be off-puttingly strong to a lot of people. I personally love those flavors occasionally, but not as an everyday thing. (Sometimes the "flavor" doesn't leave your breath/body for hours/days, it's so strong.)

The thing is that Syria is, de facto, not one country. Striking targets in different locations requires completely different capabilities, and the US usually targets eastern Syria, while Israel usually targets western Syria or (as of recently) Lebanon.

Just the other day US Air Force has allegedly done a bombing run on some Iran-supported forces - but with ADS-B enabled! I mean what we do know for sure is that there was a bombing run, and at the same time there were appropriate USAF aircraft in the air with ADS-B visible on flightradar24 and other such websites.
One thing I've seen brought up in the past when air superiority roles are being discussed. If it can take out its opponents before they even know it is there, then it doesn't matter if it's better in a dogfight. And that's quite possible at the moment.
Capitalism 'just' creates strong incentives for participation in zero-sum, or negative-sum games, without any in-system ability to check it. It 'just' creates strong incentives and imperatives for consolidation of wealth and power. It 'just' trends towards winners winning more.

Under it, a dollar is a dollar, regardless of whether earning it improved the world, left it about the same, or made it worse. Unless you make your dollars have colour[1], it falls into the traps described above.

Fortunately, all capitalist societies, to some extent, assign their dollars colour, through the process called 'regulation'. Unfortunately, the process through which it is produced is called politics, for which we have no good solutions for, and a slew of bad ones.

> Your area may have gotten above freezing every day in 2011

Yeah, my area and most of the rest of the state. And pretty much every major population center. That's a massive difference.

You're pointing to one of the smaller/midsize cities that isn't even a part of ERCOT. It really shows how much you don't understand about the situation if you're arguing the state of Texas' grid and using weather data from El Paso to back your argument. El Paso is one of the coldest cities in Texas in the winter. Its not indicative of most of the state. And its not connected anyways. You should have picked Amarillo if you wanted to single out a cold city for an imbalanced data point, at least it would have been connected to ERCOT.

2021 was way colder for the entire state. That makes a massive difference.

I worked on ISDN drivers and firmware at a job back in the late 1990s. One of the optimizations I implemented eliminated a memory copy by the 68302 which improved ping times from ~30ms to ~16ms. The good old 68000 is not exactly the fastest at memory copies...

You are replying to someone else, but it occurs to me that countries that feel threatened would be inclined to buy US equipment even if it is not the best as a way to try to encourage the US to deploy troops in their countries as a deterrent toward foreign aggression. They could easily say "hey, we have the same equipment, so your guys will be at home working with our guys if things go south".
I think maybe you just got lucky. My first Model 3 was sort of quiet (just wind noise, Model 3s and Ys are quite loud compared to other similar cars). My current model 3 (a 2023 model) has a whistle at highway speeds that I haven't been able to isolate. Along with a fluttering sound, which may be related, and sounds like it's coming from the passenger side mirror area.

The next Model 3 ("Highland") uses laminated glass in the rear windows, whereas the current one just uses it for the front. Should be the quietest yet.
If it was made based on de-compiled MS Word code? Yes.

That's a very important distinction.

I am sure there is. But it's buried very well under layers upon layers of deep integration with windows and .NET, the attempt to shoehorn a character-based shell into working with objects somehow, and a syntax that rivals enterprise java in its verbosity.

> nd specifically the help system is categorically better

Is it? Why? Man pages, infopages, and `apropos` all exist. Individual man pages may be bad, but the system as a whole is solid. It also isn't dependent on the shell. All these mechanisms are just normal programs that can be executed by any shell.

Science doesn't really fund itself and "the public" is regularly questioning the expenses for it. The best example of what is wrong with this is the communication about Human made Global Warming and how it's possible that there are still people which deny it. Or take more crude examples like Vaccination skeptics or flat earthers. Results and methods are rarely published in understandable language.

Actually the Funding for studying the Higgs Boson famously got secured by making a really simple explanation.

The blender team has done amazing work on the ui. But it was not some "complete rewrite to make it more accessible" It was closer to "We have a good UI but it has a reputation for being weird and hard. so make the color scheme darker add a drop down menu and most importantly get rid of the undeserved bad reputation by telling everyone we rewrote the whole thing" That is, it was sort of exactly the same thing as this darktable drama, more marketing than actual change. However in blenders case it was for good as people then gave it a try and discovered thet blenders workflow is actually pretty good.

The specific example you gave was the workspaces. That did not sound correct to me so I checked my 2.3 reference manual(the big book they sold right after going opensource) and it has workspaces. I want to say they were one of the big things added for the 2.0 release But I don't really remember that well and am too lazy to actually try and install old releases to find out.

I don't use a lot of 3d software so I am not a huge authority but sometimes it almost is like the opposite has happened. The commercial 3d editors have been copying some of the features blender introduced. stacked windowing system, single window editing, put all the controls up front instead of hiding them behind menus, modal editing. This is a two way stream of ideas as the various editors copy each others good ideas.
The main reason often cited for China’s downfall is demographic collapse.

It’s potentially possible that automation can solve this problem but China’s economy has relied on relatively cheap labour for growth and the shift from will be rather alarmingly sudden.

Geotechnical engineering is all about taking samples and using wide enough safety margins. And in the vast majority of cases, the end result is a building that doesn't fall down.

Sure, you might have been really unlucky that all your test samples of soil and rock were really strong granite, but the exact spot you put the main structural pile, unknown to you, was all mud and silt... But the chances are so vanishingly unlikely we accept it.
I personally use Trakt.tv to see popular and trending content. Then you don’t have to pilfer through each individual app or service.

The other plus side is that this is content that people are actually watching (via marking as watched for tracking or scrobbling) so you also get the positive benefit of seeing what people are watching, not just things that Netflix or other providers want you to watch or who has paid the top dollar for your eyeballs.
Yet they keep pushing the F-35 as a platform for that role. Furthermore, CAS is just one example. Feel free to find your own.
With Plex there's a way to set this up without too much headache if you're technically inclined. Bonus for Plex doing the same thing for TV show and movies.
To change modules order in Darktable, you have to know what to do. By default, the module order is correctly arranged and no intervention is required. Changing the order is an option that you can use only if you want to. No user will ever change a module's order by mistake (and in the remote case that one did, fixing that is a click away).

We have Lightroom, we have Capture One. Let one software for more technically-inclined photographers exist, where you have options and power over the pipeline. Darktable does not aim to be a Lightroom replacement.

For a lot of data science/analytics, what you really want is "cat" of the data.

The database can't always do the data reduction and analysis you want to do quickly, and even in many of the cases where it can, trying to tell it about them in SQL and stored procedures can be pretty gross.

I say this as a huge proponent of SQL, stored procedures, and doing lots of work in the database.

I don’t think all the problems that cause lack of reproducibility come from small sample sizes. For example, P-hacking is a thing (intentionally or not) and larger sample sizes don’t solve that. Experiment registration can help so you can track negative results but that doesn’t help if there’s no reproduction attempt (ie you could just have gotten lucky). There’s also straight up fraud you have to deal with.

The point is, op is right that it’s expensive. The computer industry that we’re in claims to be data driven but I’ve observed numerous poor quality studies being done to drive decisions that I’m pretty jaded (no reproduction, poor sample sizes, skewed sample sizes where it’s employees, etc etc). And these are smart people where the decisions being made can impact the financial outcome.

Copying this comment directly from a previous discussion:

The F-35 has a much faster response time than the A-10--and, more importantly, survivability. In a contested environment, "suboptimal" CAS from an F-35 dropping precision munitions is much better than none at all (A-10 would get shot out of the sky by any near-peer before it could approach the theater).
The A-10 also has high maintenance costs and a relatively low loiter time. For fighting terrorists in flipflops, something like a super-tucano does its job for a tenth of the operating cost.
Fundamentally, the A-10 was not built for CAS. It was built as a last-ditch, suicide strafer of Soviet convoys during a land war in Europe. Very few were projected to survive past the first week.
> I can't imagine anyone who truly understands the current replication failure rates thinking that a single non-replicated study is valuable for anything other than informing what replications should be attempted.

I work in biology. At a panel of biology startup founders I heard one mention that she got a lot of her research ideas from papers studying bacteria which were published nearly a hundred years ago.

In biology you first seek to extend published results. Only if the extension attempt fails would you spend effort trying to replicate it (assuming you just don't abandon the pathway entirely).
Also because some of the code was supposed to be open source I guess ? Trust the code ?

Sure, and in asymmetric conflicts where the enemy has no modern air defenses you can keep using F-16s (which are still in production) and save on the maintenance requirements. The F-35 can mount external stores and haul about as many bombs as the F-16 if it needs to. It's true the Ukraine conflict is the only symmetric conflict in recent history, but the military's job is to remain prepared for symmetric conflicts.
From wikipedia:

>Corruption is a form of dishonesty or a criminal offense which is undertaken by a person or an organization which is entrusted in a position of authority, in order to acquire illicit benefits or abuse power for one's personal gain.

>In politics, lobbying or advocacy, is the act of lawfully attempting to influence the actions, policies, or decisions of government officials, most often legislators or members of regulatory agencies, but also judges of the judiciary.

From those descriptions, it seems pretty clear that corruption is a bad thing, but it's not really clear that lobbying is a bad thing. Sure, trying to influence people could involve corruption, but at the same time don't you want your representatives to be responsive to their constituents? Is a hypothetical world where politicians can't officially be influenced at all really better?
