You’ll need to provide evidence that 3rd party messaging clients (Messenger, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Instagram, Snapchat etc.) are actually harmed by this. Frankly, I don’t buy your argument at all, nor does it have anything to do with the issue of Beeper.

As a user I don’t want these other apps getting access to my incoming SMS messages. I’m fine with one app getting all the messages. It really doesn’t make any difference whether my messages have green or blue bubbles (and people complaining about that are really stretching).

As for the argument that 3rd parties should be allowed access to the iMessage network. When are all those other apps coming aboard that plan? When can I write my own app for Messenger instead using Meta’s?
I don’t think Ford, Volvo, Porsche, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes, even VW are “completely” failing. Stellantis, Mazda, and Subaru, yes. Toyota, yes and no — they didn’t really try with the BZ4X, but their plug-in hybrids sell as fast as they claim they can make them.
I was just looking at and considering buying "A First Course in Network Science" by Menczer, Fortunato, and Davis. Has anyone gone through that? I'd love to hear a review.
Spot on, sims build all the technical knowledge but the physical feedback isn't there; it's the somatogravitic illusion that normally sends you into the ground if you aren't prepared to recognise and disregard it.
I love that you call "from the river to the sea" a creative misinterpretation... then push something that's way more of a creative interpretation of "genocide".

Why is "Amalek" a call to genocide (remove the others from our land) but "from the rivers to the sea" (remove the others form our land) isn't?

Trying to take you at face value, I looked into what Amalek is and tried to find something more unbiased than you seem to be.

"I recently asked one of his advisers to gauge for me the depth of Mr. Netanyahu’s anxiety about Iran. His answer: “Think Amalek.” “Amalek,” in essence, is Hebrew for “existential threat.” Tradition holds that the Amalekites are the undying enemy of the Jews. They appear in Deuteronomy, attacking the rear columns of the Israelites on their escape from Egypt. The rabbis teach that successive generations of Jews have been forced to confront the Amalekites: Nebuchadnezzar, the Crusaders, Torquemada, Hitler and Stalin are all manifestations of Amalek’s malevolent spirit."

So Netty says that hamAss is an existential threat? no shit. hamAss needs to be removed? Definitely. No peace as long as hamAss exists. Can't have peace with terrorists.

But is Netty saying to remove ALL Palestinians? remember... Net (as well as others) have tried to negotiate peace with "Palestinians" and have been denied over the years (since recreation of Israel). So Israel has been willing to negotiate while "Palestine" has only been open to solutions that are "from the river to the sea" (read: Genocide).

Infitada and Sea comments are absolutely, unequivocally and undeniably calls to remove Jews from the area.

I love the parallels from 2009 to today... the "overreaction" (read: disproportionate reaction by Israel to a terrorist action of oct 7th) in response to an "existential threat" caused by terrorists killing innocents, hiding like cowards and using human shields.

But I digress. Don't be expected to be taken seriously in your attack on "genocidal" Israel while downplaying and ignoring genocidal hamAss. The war sucks but was started by terrorists and Israel has the right to defend itself from existential threats. No peace as long as hamAss exists.
His very next words are "I’m kidding". What a waste of all our time it was to read this comment.
Having owned a pretty "old" tesla, a MCU 2 model S, the screen always felt responsive to be. All the MCU 1 cars were pretty laggy but they were also Tesla's very first screen attempt and I think they did pretty good for a car designed in 2009 or so

Bayesian statistics, the way Andrew Gelman practices it, comes naturally when you are interested in generative models of data. You can still use maximum likelihood estimates, but these become fragile when you have hierarchical / multilevel models.

Multilevel models are fantastic to address a problem that is often ignored by frequentist approaches, the need for shrinkage and information sharing. This pops up all the time in modern statistics. For example, if you test 1000 hypotheses, calculating p-values and adjusting these with some multiplicity correction scheme is not sufficient.

You should borrow information across random variables with a multilevel model to avoid estimating exaggerated effects in tests whose outcome is deemed to be significant. Andrew Gelman's post is concerned with this topic.

Another point is that Gelman et al. use weakly informative hyperpriors. These are not really subjective. If anything, they usually regularize solutions by pushing effects towards zero. Plus, on multilevel models, priors are only needed on hyperparameters.
I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t see the point of non-competes.

Non-solicitation agreements cover not stealing clients or employees after you leave. Non-disclosure agreements cover not sharing non-public information. IP assignment agreements cover assignment of all IP created while being employed.

Why do non-competes need to exist given the above CYA mechanisms that companies already have?

(Edit: the only exception is noted elsewhere in this thread - if you sell your company to another, you shouldn’t be able to turn around and create a competitor right away, but that’s an edge case)

> It’s funny how so many Apple users insist their Apple device does everything they want, until Apple releases a new update that does something more that other devices have had for years, and then they’re not just using it all the time but boasting about it.

Isn't that normally the case? You have a device that does X you're happy with, and they add a new feature. You didn't know how useful it would be, so you're excited and show it off.

I'd imagine there are plenty of examples of his with Android, or your favourite car brand or all sorts of things.
> I’m disagreeing with the premise that making conscious choices about what I purchase can be reduced to “voting with my wallet”, or that we can conclude it “doesn’t help much” based only on a limited outlook on what helps i.e. there are many more reasons to do it that may never have a meaningful monetary impact on the system.

The problem is that capitalism, like the internet, is a system designed to route around problems. From the position of the system, any node acting “incorrectly” and not maximizing its profit is doing it wrong.

If you refuse to eat beef, you are only making it cheaper for the people who will still eat beef. And they will eat more of it. The system routes around the error.

The only way to reliably effect large-scale changes in these economic patterns is to change the rules of the game. Which is why that is so fiercely contested, and why there’s so much effort to push the blame back down on individual behavior.
That's absolutely wild and tragic. If not from video games, then from where? I can't see the 2nd article but the first mentions that he had no formal training! Did he mean to crash at the end? Was it some elaborate "going out with a bang"? I have so many questions after reading that, the story is like every idle and intrusive thought come to life at once.
XP12 is better, not least because it can be certified for logging "real world" flight hours.

flight sims in general have come a long way in the last 20 years, VR and XR have completely changed the dynamic, there are even EASA approved VR helicopter sims now (that are actually used for certified training)
removal of content is really like 10% of the cases. the most worrisome type of suppression of speech is what they call "shadow banning" which is really "reach limiting". to the extent people now refrain from using the word "Palestine" to avoid metas algirithms. I experienced this myself. We have a draft law in parliament concerning boyocott of israel. I posted a status about the law (notice it's unrelated to war or anything in the news rights now) and it got almost zero reach. it's not subtil. It's like two orders of magnitude less reach. I know it because I'm a political activist and I always comment on draft
laws.
I wonder if it's harder to find skilled people to work on EVs.

Like, Ubuntu just works. I love it. It's great. But so many of the most knowledgeable and most skilled people are over on Arch.

Maybe they're working on stuff ICEs already solved, but the ICE people who know about those solutions are still working on ICE?

Maybe it's too different to.just directly copy and paste, and what they really need is to get the same people who solved the problem the first time?

Deeply blue states like New York and California don't face a serious threat from Republicans. So what happens? They turn on themselves with sectarian infighting. And there's nothing Democrats in general and New York Democrats in particular hate more progressive candidates.

In a district Biden won by 8 in 2020, George Santos was elected in 2022 when Republicans nationally underperformed. And this is a guy who would've been exposed by a $500 background check. Over $100 million was spent to lose to Lindsey Graham by 10 while nothing was spent on Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin who lost by a mere 20,000 votes.

I mention all of this as context because Democrats are beholden to the same corporate interests. Their goal isn't to make progressive change. It's not even to win elections. It's really just to fund raise off of how terrible the other side is without the responsibility of having to do anything.

My position on noncompetes is a fairly simple one: when you quit, the employer has the option to enforce their noncompete. If they do for whatever the agreed upon period is they pay you 150% of your highest annual total compensation (not just salary) including benefits over the previous 5 years. for that period. Or they can not. It's all or nothing. Failure to pay at any point in that period removes the noncompete from the employer but doesn't discharge the liability. That is, once a noncompete is exercised the employer is on the hook for the entire amount and needs to keep papying on time to keep that noncompete enforced.

Does that sound harsh (on the employer)? It's meant to be. Don't want to pay a noncompete? Then don't enforce it.
> If Rust doesn't give you more and better support in doing that than C does, then it's not really making a difference.

It does and if you've been missing that you've misunderstood this whole discussion. Rust allows you to wrap up some unsafe code in a safe abstraction. You use the type checker to enforce your invariants, such that the unsafe code can be reviewed in isolation.

Rust gives you exactly what you're saying you want. Steve is describing Rust as it is.

Part of that effort was to reframe the reasons why the Confederacy was “founded,” at least in part as a way of saving face (which is very important in southern culture).

Their narrative glossed over slavery, and focused on the other aspects of the conflict: the industrialized north, with its big banks and big corporations, versus the agrarian south. Do you remember the scene in Hamilton where they negotiate about where to put the capital? And the Hamilton says something along the lines of “let the south have the capital, we’ll have the bank where the real power will be.” It’s not hard to make the south look like the good guys if you ignore the Confederate elites’ actual reasons for the war.
Apparently Microsoft Flight Simulator was used preparing for 9/11 as well. Not a testimonial they are slapping on the box art though.

I've been on a ride in a jet trainer. It took minimal instruction to do an aileron roll, and it was easy enough to fly. My skepticism comes from motion sickness. You can do all the aerobatics you want in a flight sim, but it doesn't prepare you for the world shifting in ways you don't expect, even when you're the one behind the stick.
I'm a Lexus/Toyota stan but a lot of what makes a german car unrealiable is deferred maintenance. Lexus and Toyota build cars so you can treat them like shit and they'll still run and Germans build cars that are meant to be maintained then they will run well.

They're really two different approaches to car design. Why they do it this way really comes down to national culture.

In the analogy, I don’t think you could “literally go to any other” rocket science job or whatever. Even within my field, which is pretty broad in tech, it’s not that easy to switch jobs and I’ve had non-competes meaningfully interfere with new prospects because of the subject matter of the new opportunity.
Intel had the margin and volume to be the exception to the rule, meanwhile Qualcomm, Broadcom, and a ton of other fabless design firms were making good money unencumbered by the risk of investing in a fab division, and with the ability to switch to the best fab for each chip at a given time.
It sounded extremely improbable to me, so tried googling and I wasn't able to find anything that would back up such claims. Can you provide a source for the information that MicroSD cards have more than e.g. double total physical capacity?

Just flying a plane isn't that hard, and just landing it not that harder. Doing it well per specs is hard and requires butt in the seat time. You just can't feel everything in the sim, like the gust of winds as you approach the runway, or the sudden acceleration in falling as you lose too much airspeed when trying to land, or the balloon near the runway. It'll all be simulated and you can see it with your eyes, but that's a long shot from being able to do it all in real life when all your senses are involved.

I'm sure given enough sim practice you can get most of the way there but probably with exponentially more repetition.
Skyking!

He eventually intentionally crashed the plane in an uninhabited area. Apparently at other times he considered crashing into inhabited areas.
It helped me know more about the basics of flight, so I found it helpful. That and reading flight training books.

Did it reduce the amount of actual flight hours I needed to get my license? Probably not.

I think it's more help when studying for your IFR.
In that case, the landlord could rent for a lower rent than the bank is okay with, and supplement the missing amount himself. That would be cheaper that leaving it empty and paying all the rent himself.

> since it teaches new students bad habits, like keeping their heads down and focusing on instruments.

I'm very much not an expert on this, but I thought that most of the time, at least for recreational flying, the opposite was the problem: things like running out of fuel or doing that thing where you slowly loose altitude over the ocean without realising and then crash into the water because you're not paying attention to the instruments.

My experience with flight sims is that they weren't useful, but a big part of it was that I had no skin in the game. I could always walk away from a mistake, so I got sloppy.
Looks like it might just have a canbus fault somewhere. Maybe someone forgot a terminating resistor or curb the wire or crimped the terminal incorrectly. It also could just be poor error handling on the can network and being super sensitive to can faults.

The very first example in the report is "river to the sea" which is arguably a dog whistle for genocide. Parts of liberal Europe have banned this slogan.

True Lies was shot by cinematographer Russell Carpenter (Titanic, Avatar: The Way of Water) on 35 mm photochemical film (in Super-35 “common top” format, with Eastman EXR 50D 5245, EXR 200T 5293, EXR 500T 5296 stocks) using Arriflex 35 BL4, 35 IIC, and 35-III as well as Moviecam Compact cameras, along with Zeiss Standard Speed, Super Speed, and Cooke Varotal lenses. Visual effects were also filmed in VistaVision format. The film was then finished photochemically in the 2.39:1 aspect ratio for theaters (which included 35 mm anamorphic blow-up release prints, as well as 70 mm blow-ups).

For its release on Ultra HD, Lightstorm, working with Park Road Post, has built a new 4K Digital Intermediate using recent 4K scans of the original camera negative (confirmed per Lightstorm). This footage has been “optimized” by Park Road’s proprietary deep-learning algorithms. Photochemical grain has been greatly reduced, though not eliminated entirely, while fine detail has been “enhanced” algorithmically. There are also occasional shots throughout the film that appear to have had a bit of old-school noise reduction applied, but it’s hard to be sure if it’s actual DNR or simply just that the Park Road process has been a little too heavy-handed in places.
Two things:

* Abstention from voting or refusing to vote are a form of political expression. Mandating that everyone must vote is an attack on freedom of speech and expression and will not fly.

* Ranked Choice and all the other alternatives often floated run afoul of the most basic criteria: They are complicated. The people either will not or cannot understand and consequently will not tolerate complicated voting schemes. Anything more complicated than "<XYZ> gets my vote." is impractically useless. FPTP remains popular because it is fucking simple enough that anyone can understand it, that it's also generally beneficial to the political parties is merely a side effect.
Substack's claim and argument is about free speech, though. Not "free speech, but".
I think it depends on the restaurant. I've seen plenty with old non-NFC POS terminals and bespoke Windows 3x/9x-like UIs like you've mentioned that continue to work day after day. And I've also seen more modern restaurants using nice wireless Square terminals with clean associate facing interfaces. Probably just comes down to cost/benefit/training/setup etc.
If you provided the sources it would help to atleast have a productive discussion of the merits of that point of view. Without the sources it just sounds like you don't like right-wing politicians.
Yes.

I say that with 100% certainty based on my own experience. I was using Flight Simulator in the late 80s.

I used it for 10 years, and it inspired me to become a pilot. I ended getting various ratings (private, instrument, high-performance, commecial ...).

I knew how to fly an ILS before I had my introductory flight in a Cessna 172. I knew what I was looking at and not bewildered by all of the unfamiliar gauges.

It's not going to help you land a small plane when the winds are 160/17G25 and it's a crosswind. That you have to experience. But I could fly to the nearest VOR on the first day.
Sounds like they didnt do a great job with error handling on the canbus network and all the individual boxes are posting communication failures and then just completely crapping out.
