I’m never liked oatmeal generally prepared in the US. Then I flew to Australia and on quantas they served Muesli which is essentially rolled oats and milk with fruit which was delicious. So it turns out I liked oatmeal just not cooked down into mush. In the states I found bobs red mill which is my standard choice and I get the gluten free one not because I am avoiding gluten it just tastes better than their regular one.

> There are strict limits on what repairs you can do yourself without involving a licensed A&P mechanic.

Sure, you're right that this plane was clearly violating a myriad of maintenance violations. But maintenance violations aren't going to get you thrown in jail. They might get your license taken away and would definitely yield some fines, but not thrown in jail.

I am assuming of course this is on a personal GA plane (like the youtuber was using to fly himself). Skipping maintenance and/or doing it himself would have gotten him a few relatively small fines. He probably wouldn't have lost his license and certainly wouldn't have been thrown in jail for these.

Of course the rules would change significantly if this was a charter plane like Part 135, then things are more serious. He would have lost his license then, and maybe gotten some jailtime. Skipping or fraudulent maintenance on a part 121 (scheduled commercial airlines like United or Delta) would certainly yield jailtime.

I would argue that basically every human context includes the possibility of physical violence, usually for sufficient transgression the boundaries of others.

Exactly - if your API makes a mistake somewhere, someone is depending on that mistake. So even if the API says “returns the number of chickens” and now correctly returns 5 when there are 5 instead of saying 4; that may break something.

Australia needs to consider global perspectives to weed out online deception
There were a couple of weird things in this otherwise reasonable piece (italics added):

"Despite the era of traditional media information monopoly being over, there was a view that we could create a monopoly on quality information, over quantity and speed."

"We each have individual responsibility to disable the ad blockers, reject web cookies, and encourage our communities to be alert and alarmed by the digital infodemic."
haha what a nit-pick
This is a valid point. And it is a valid (and very important) question, for a scientist. However, there is an obvious answer that needs a ton of investigation. The "container" of a vitamin C pill vs a citrus fruit (or any vitamin C rich vegetable) vastly different. And in both cases, they are interacting with a system that has a mind-numbing number of variables, most of which are only poorly understood if even accounted for at all.

But ignoring all those microbiome + immune/endocrine system + (human) cellular metabolism variables, I pose this question in response:

The ammonium nitrate in human urine and TNT explosives is chemically the same. Why would it have any different effect regardless of the form?

Do you have any more information about this? It would explain the challenge I've been experiencing as I enter my early 40s with a family history of hypertension; my blood pressure has been going up, which makes sense, but my ADHD has also been getting harder to manage, which doesn't.

You're missing the point; it did indeed succeed and is now embedded in our digital infrastructure because it got there first. But it does not follow that launching something else today using the same model will be able to get the same uptake, because there are many competing offerings.
Those numbers were about the same throughout the USA:

For example, in 2021, 95k died were 85+, 110k died were 75-84, another 110k from 65-74. But that rate of death for 85+ was 1.6%, and then .6% (75-84), .3% (65-74), .1% (55-64), .09% (45-54), .03% (45-54).
To take a different argument, it’s another party that’s less well known that you have to trust. The more parties you trust, the less secure things become. Whether that additional risk is something you want to take on is a personal decision. MITM SSL traffic would make me uncomfortable.

Ask HN: What are your strategies for plugging the holes in TS?
I am a TS fanatic, but I still find it daunting to handle a codebase that imports libraries that may not have its own typings, or poor typings, or colleagues using `as` casts, etc. What defenses do you have in place to keep sane and healthy typesafe applications?
Also, pros: world-class architecture, fun music scene, great museums and of course The Art Institute, top universities and everything that comes with that, great restaurants from every cuisine under the sun, very immigrant-friendly city, lovely tree-lined streets with block parties, I could go on and on. Oh, and living is affordable and people are Midwest Nice.

Cons: it's the great flatness - you have to drive for hours to see hills. Tech industry is ok but very b2b and fintech focused and not a lot of consumer or entertainment stuff. Also as a very liberal city it's a favorite target of culture warrior types.

Tie: winter. Yeah, it gets cold and snowy. But also, it's "just weather". It's the same every year and people deal with it pretty easily.

Maybe, or maybe we just haven't adapted to 48fps yet. Something I heard a lot about The Hobbit was that the outdoor scenes looked great whereas the indoor seens looked like film sets - which, well, they were film sets, and making a set that looks "natural" will require new techniques. Everyone hates early stereo mixes (e.g. The Beatles), not because stereo sound inherently sounds bad but because production takes time to adapt to new technology.
> Own plane, own land and a filed flight path should satisfy the FAA's requirements, though you may also need to take active measures to ensure your private land is clear of things that could be harmed.

If he had a private air field/airport and "landed" (crashed) the plane on his air field, then that could be argued, but there's still the fact that he bailed out of the airplane and left it in an uncontrolled state, in which case there's probably some kind of 'reckless' charge that could be thrown at him.

I don't think that's the way it works out in practice. The fact of the matter is that deadlines are missed all the time. In many cases, there is no such thing as 100% certainty that you'll hit a "deadline"--there are always circumstances outside your control (global pandemics anyone?). There's just some implicit confidence threshold or other assumptions lurking around that probably need to be communicated. Do you want three 9s of confidence? Five 9s? Those things are very different and the cost to actually achieve the latter can often be prohibitive. Everyone benefits if we make explicit our pre-conceived idea of precisely what "cannot exceed" means.
SF for 10 years

In this reporter's humble opinion, it's wild how dissonant the narrative about this city is with the reality on the ground. If you ask our relatives who watch too much cable news, they think we live in doom loop hellscape on the verge of total collapse. Yet when we go out and walk around different parts of the city… it's mostly nice. There's plenty of people out and about; it feels like things have recovered from pandemic-era decline.

Of course there are problem areas that do look like the Bell Riots might pop off at any moment, and I really do hope we find a way to address those problems. But the truth is, that makes up a small part of the city, and even in the sketchiest parts of SOMA, the homeless population et al will for the most part leave you alone; it's not particularly unsafe.

Pros: Lots to do. You can walk most places you'd want to go. Weather is always great. If you're in tech, it's the center of the universe, and the place you're most likely to maximize your career options. Plenty of meetups/events for every niche where you can meet people, network, etc.

Cons: Expensive, but that's why the salaries are higher. I'm told that if you're single, the dating scene is a nightmare. Not exactly an easy place for families either unless you've already won the startup lottery. I don't really see this discussed, and maybe it's a little uncomfortable to admit, but there is definitely a degree of having to be able to "make it", and not everyone can.

`static is actually the superlifetime of all lifetimes, but & is contravariant in its lifetime parameter (and covariant in its type parameter).
All the comments above have made valid points related to IP geolocation APIs. There are already various free and paid IP-to-address APIs available in the market.

Some are expensive because of the effort their team has put into continuously monitoring the accuracy of their service and keeping the data up-to-date. It is one thing to build an API layer on top of the free data sources and provide for low cost, but keeping the operation running with high up-time, improving data accuracy daily, adding new data sources and handling ambiguity with location data is quite challenging and requires a proper dedicated team.

If you are a single person building this service, it can certainly take a toll on you. Nevertheless, there are many free APIs available which is just a wrapper on top of Maxmind's free data source.

But if you can build a niche group of people who willingly pay to use your service, it is possible and as you mentioned be able to offset the running cost.
Teenage kids will likely want to play video games or watch their own thing.

Many young people live by themselves and can't afford a "huge" TV. Meanwhile VR will give them a virtual TV as big as they like.

Another potential future technology that might obsolete the current 55-85 inch typical TV sizes is "OLED wallpaper", or something similar that would allow wall-sized televisions.

Even before the 2030s I expect something like quantum nanorods to replace OLED panels, potentially allowing up to 10,000 nits in an affordable panel that doesn't suffer from burn-in.

On another front, I've noticed a lot more people watching something like TikTok, YouTube, or Netflix on their hand-held devices instead of traditional TV. I can picture a future super-thin, super-light Apple iPad with an OLED HDR display becoming very popular, especially for people on a budget that can't afford a huge TV.

> Right now one party wants to:

> Remove the SEC, the FBI, defund the IRS and the DOJ.

There is negligible chance of actually eliminating these federal agencies, and even if that was the position of the entire party, you're just talking about a policy position.

If you brought in James Madison and he said that we shouldn't have a federal IRS because the government programs it funds are the role of the states, that wouldn't be any evidence that he is opposed to institutions, it's just a question of which institution should serve that role.

> And a member of congress is refusing to appoint any leaders of our military. Ostensibly due to a disagreement over abortion, but many believe it is retaliation for the military refusing to support an attempted coup a few years ago.

Which wouldn't work. If you were trying to retaliate against some specific military leaders, you can't do it by refusing to appoint some entirely different ones. If you were trying to retaliate against a bureaucracy as a whole, the way to do it is to reduce their budget.

Meanwhile we have the obvious motive that opportunistic politicians will do anything they think will get them on television regardless of whether it otherwise makes any sense or serves any purpose.

> Also there is discrediting all trust in voting and democracy itself after losing a national election (even though the administration's own Attorney General could find no meaningful evidence supporting it following his own nationwide investigation).

For this to fit your argument they would have had to do this with the purpose of discrediting the voting system. The most obvious motive for that would be to bolster support for their proposals for in-person voting requirements and voter ID etc.

Maybe they have an ulterior motive for wanting these things, but it's hard to argue that they wouldn't increase trust in the voting system. Election security experts broadly agree that optical scan paper ballots are more secure than purely electronic voting systems.

> And then there is the meme of the deep state, namely shorthand than anyone who is a civil servant and not a political appointee is not to be trusted.

This is fundamentally an argument about democracy.

Local governments commonly have separate elected offices for the board of education, the constabulary, the comptroller, even the dogcatcher. Because the US federal government was envisioned to be small and limited in scope, the only elected positions are the general legislature and the Presidential ticket.

Leaving the entirety of the administrative state to unelected officials was never the intention and it's hardly an unreasonable position to be critical of the consequences.

> But to say that both sides/parties are against trust in American society in my opinion is either a false argument, or tunnel vision in news sources.

In general if you think that one party is dramatically worse than the other, it's because of your news sources. The parties agree with each other on almost everything and most of the points of contention are drenched with hyperbole.

These are not angels and demons, they're human politicians representing different constituencies.
I honestly think that the problem lies in the amount of working hours.

The last sentence is extremely true and good advice.

In general, "the market" is extremely efficient: all "bona fide good" (i.e. you, your mother, your 5 closest friends, your manager, your college roommate would unanimously agree that it's "good") living situations are really expensive.

To find situations that are affordable, you have to trade off on a couple of those bona fides (dishwasher, W/D access, square footage, daytime/nighttime noise, distance from trendy neighborhoods... ambient incidence rate of violent crime).

All that being said, if I were new to the city and under 30, I wouldn't discount bunking up with randos in LES/East Village/Nolita (trendier neighborhoods) for the first year. You're not going to know which neighborhood is your neighborhood until you've seen what's around, and you might as well enjoy the first year. Will you be financially responsible? Eventually. For now, have a good time.

Another thing to remember is some of the really older disks will have larger magnetic areas as platter density wasn't nearly as much. As densities increased the amount of total charge per bit decreased as there's just less magnetic material available. Just one of the many factors of how likely you are to experience any issues.

Refreshing every five years for magnetic storage is probably overly cautious to me from my own personal experiences. But FWIW if it's data I really care about it doesn't spend years sitting around on just magnetic media. For my own personal risk tolerance putting important data on say an external hard drive and sticking it on a shelf isn't a great way to archive data. I might do it with data I'm OK with eventually maybe losing, but if it's something I know I'll want in 20+ years it gets a few copies with one being on some highly reliable optical media like M-DISC.

Your hard drive might go a long, long time without losing a bit. And maybe if you do lose some data, it's a couple of typos in some help file. Maybe it's some rare code path in an executable that almost never gets called. Maybe it's some b-frame in a video that you'd never even notice. Maybe it's some important bits of the last photo you had of a loved one. Maybe it's some important field a database. Maybe it was empty space. Who knows.
I agree with you of course but I wonder how wise it is for governments to follow the strategy of felonies being irrevocable black marks?

That is to say if we rely on the permanent reputation taint as a deterrent then once you’ve been tainted are you not now much more likely to go do more harmful, felonious things?

I don’t know much about felonies though — perhaps they can be expunged after X years of good behaviour?

I think it is a mistake for programs that have SSL traffic to not have an option for a user-defined non-secure proxy (usually this would be for a proxy running on the local computer, rather than a remote proxy).
