The fact that they do not need to is true, but the typical law rests on a body of data and some of that data will be supplied with the bill depending on what the material is about.

This is because most laws are created with specific goals and purposes in mind, they're not born finished and ready to be voted on derived from first principles, they usually exist to address something quite specific.
I want to congratulate you for taking that decision.
There's a joke about asking skydivers why they'd jump out of a perfectly good airplane and the punch line is that there is no such thing as a perfectly good airplane.

Every single plane has things that are broken, things that are inoperative, things that behave slightly out of tolerance. This is true for commercial aircraft the whole way down to single engine trainers. 172s are notorious for having fuel gauges that are basically only good for telling you how many fuel tanks you have and not anything related to quantity of fuel on the plane.
Boeing may think they fly above it all (get it?) but I can assure you despite my largely unwavering confidence in the air travel industry, I will not travel on a Boeing aircraft in the near future. I will see to it that I fly Airbus or not at all, which I'm perfectly fine with should it spare my life. This type of large-scale and continued negligence can only be defined as a company that thinks they're too big to fail. I would rather see the US's airplane manufacturing capabilities decrease than allow such heinous acts of negligence to continue. Shame on Boeing. You'd have thought that the previous 787 and MCAS problems would've straightened them up, but you'd of course be wrong. Let them bleed; dry if need be. This is no way to operate in such an important industry with deadly consequences.
Thanks for taking your time to comment!

I think there was a little misunderstanding in our tool. Our tool does not (yet) generate leads, it rather takes leads and outreaches to them in order to convert them to bookings in your calendar.

(We only provide leads ourselves if specifically asked to us)

With that being said, we did think of doing a profit share model at first where we would take only 20% of all profits made by our clients on the deals that Sarah helped them get. However, there are various underlying issues with this business model:

- you’re getting paid based on the client’s ability of closing a deal, not on the actual service you’re providing. (sarah books the meeting, humans have to close them!)

- you have to go after clients and make sure they are indeed paying the right % of profits and not lying about them (excessive hassle)

- by paying a fixed price per lead (which is also really low compared to standard appointment setting prices) you are actually saving money because no matter how many clients you close, the price is always the same!

I hope I was clear enough, let me know if you still have some doubts!

Had a similar experience. Long ago when I was younger and poorer I offered IT support on my country's equivalent of Craigslist.

Fairly well-off elderly chap wanted me to fix his laptop - was an underpowered machine that somehow got Vista installed on it (but no graphics drivers, so everything was in 640x480) so was unusably slow.

Now the proper answer to that would be to just tell him to buy a new computer, but I didn't want to let him down so I figured this machine might be salvageable with a lightweight Linux distro.

Couple months pass by and then I get a call. He's asking why videos aren't working. I ask him what website it was - "double-you double-you double-you... dot... x... hamster... dot com".

Now I didn't particularly care about his extracurricular activities, got him to curl|bash a script I wrote on the spot to get SSH access and installed the Flash player I forgot and sent him on his way. I was surprised he'd just openly admit to it though.
On a long enough timeline? All of them.
It would be far more surprising if it wasn't.
I did! Thanks.
As an indie dev, I feel like the greater risk is that you aren't able to release an MVP and find PMF at all, so I'd always err on getting something working on fewer platforms first so you can move quickly. Having the option to go multi-platform later is a good problem to have, but isn't guaranteed, so don't tackle it early on.

Trying to build for multiple platforms is a lot of overhead, not to mention UI paradigms don't always map one-to-one. Even building for both Mac and iOS (versus just iOS, for instance), for me, can be challenging since there are enough to differences between the two platforms in terms of UX that I have to take extra care to nail both experiences faithfully.

Rebasing is nothing more than doing operations on a graph of snapshots, most notably cherry-picking (which is defined in terms of a given commit and its parent). Snapshots are not "how git stores the data", it's not a technical detail; they are the central data structure you're operating on conceptually - also when what you end up with is a calculated diff (which you can easily calculate between any two commits, even those topologically unrelated).

Right, the standard centos system binaries are used to provision services and manage hardware.

The internal services linking against the runtime libs you mention, are actually linking against about 2000 built from source packages, and are essentially a separate distro (with a distro in this sense being an ABI compatible set of libs running on a kernel)

Is it your assertion that Boeing is currently operated by competent people? They're getting crushed by SpaceX at rockets. How much more of this incompetence will it take before someone does the same to them with airliners? Relying on being "too big to fail" isn't a viable long term strategy. It only lowers the barrier to entry for competitors.

Not just according to them.

Burning fat and sugars is essentially the same as what happens when you burn wood, or when you car burns its fuel. Where does the wood go as it burns? Gasses, mainly CO2 (though there is some residue left in the form of ashes; much much less than the initial amount of wood). Where does the fuel from your fuel tank go when you drive? Again, gasses out of the exhaust, except for a small amount of soot and other small particulate matter.

Weight loss is burning the fat reserves in the body, very similar to burning wood or fuel (but in a more controlled manner; there are no flames). The CO2 leaves your boy through mouth and nose by breathing. Burning sugars is good too: burning it before it gets converted to fat prevents it from contributing to the fat reserves.

Pooping makes no difference: poop is simply the non-digestible portion of your food that. It will make its way out of your body, but never contributes to fat and sugar reserves in the body.

Neither does sweating, by itself: you loose water, which needs to be replenished (it will result in short term lower weight, until the water is replenished; doesn't help against overweight, but is used in boxing and judo etc. to get in as low a weight class as possible). Again, doesn't affect fat and sugar. But when sweating is the result of physical activity, that physical activity does help loose weight.

When doing physical exercise, you'll notice you have to breath deeper and/or faster. That's to provide more O2 to your body, and to release the CO2 that is produced. Even during rest the body continually burns some fat and/or sugar, with the produced CO2 being expelled the same way. So yes, you lose weight by breathing it out. But that breathing out more CO2 has to be triggered by a higher metabolism, such as can be achieved through physical exercise.
Indeed! Japan’s system is very efficient, and he has lived there for some time, so he should be familiar.

Similarly, it took the US forever to implement an instant payment system (commercial banks built Zelle via Early Warning Systems and RTP via The Clearinghouse, and the Fed finally built FedNow after Congress directed them to in order to ensure universal access) while India and Brazil rapidly rolled out their implementations (UPI and Pix, respectively).

These are intentional choices.

I think the "paperclip maximizer" is actually a better metaphor. The autofacs have goals that are completely orthogonal to those of the humans around them. In contrast to the paperclip maximizer, however, the autofacs' goals are ostensibly good for humanity, whereas making as many paperclips as possible sounds benign at worst, until you dig deeply into the implications of it.

Physical bookstores are on the complete other end of the Signal:Noise ratio spectrum, you've got such an enormous cost of publishing that even quality isn't enough (and this is the old problem of book publishing) you won't get a physical book produced unless (a) you have a track record, (b) you publish it yourself or )c) you're a celebrity who is using their celebrity to sell books or (d) you're great and you sign a usurious deal with a book publisher.

In the same way that the noise floor is becoming too high for eBooks, the quality threshold is too high for real books - (d) basically doesn't happen because you have to be so great and sign such a bad deal. Not least because publishers have consolidated into an effective monopoly.
Alena Tensor and Its Applications in Quantum Theory and Unification Theories
"The Alena Tensor is a recently discovered class of stress-energy tensors that, as previous publications have shown, has extremely useful properties. In curved spacetime, this tensor reproduces Einstein Field Equations and in flat Minkowski spacetime, it describes a physical system with fields that can be widely configured. The use of the discussed tensor may significantly simplify Quantum Field Theory equations and it also provides canonical, generalized four-momentum with vanishing four-divergence that satisfies Klein-Gordon equation. This article discusses the perspectives of applications of Alena Tensor in Quantum Field Theory and unification theories against the background of existing research directions." - From the abstract.
Although I can sympathize with the story, this particular aircraft had been in their hands just a couple months. Its first commercial flight was just a couple weeks back. Maintenance isn't the issue here, clearly.

This is flatly wrong. The only aerodynamically unstable planes are experimental and some fighter jets.

No passenger plane can be certified if it can't be proven that it is aerodynamically stable.

It is interesting how Western and Japanese computer RPGs both take inspiration from D&D, but how they went in completely opposite directions.

Western RPGs focused on the player character aspect, offering a lot of freedom and very little characterization. You are the adventurer and this is your story. The downside, compared to tabletop RPGs is that the story is limited as computers can't react to every situation like human GMs can.

Japanese RPGs focused on the storytelling aspect. Trading freedom for a much better developed story. You are not a player character anymore, you follow another character in a story.

What they have in common is the combat and XP system, though the D&D connection is usually made more obvious in the Western RPGs. For example dice rolls are often made explicit, whereas in Japanese RPGs, you may only see the final result of your actions.
Just speaking from the US side of things, there aren't any 20/30/40/80/120mm AA rounds being produced in mass quantity and it is more of a scaling issue. Systems like CIWS are also incredibly bulky, requiring a few semi trucks worth of equipment to operate.

There are some German AA guns that have been used for counter UAS, but their export laws are a fucking nightmare to deal with if you ever want to sell, give or trade those systems later on.

Right. And not only is the general approach the same (which one could credibly blame on a sort of "parallel evolution" driven by the changing economics of transistors vs. pins in chip manufacturing), but in some cases the relevant standards literally incorporate parts of Fibre Channel by reference. It was seeing the DisplayPort spec cite the ANSI Fibre Channel PHY standard to define its specific 8b10b code (there have been several, due to the inherent redundancy of that type of code; cf. the choice of the 2 "extra" symbols in base64) that started me down the rabbit hole.
> systems that are many times smaller (maybe many orders of magnitude smaller) than today's biggest systems.

This is a dangerous and misleading metric. You're right that different scale needs different techniques, but comparing sizes of actually existing systems in this way it's very easy to conclude your strongest designers who successfully wrangled a large problem into a simple system are your weakest designers because what they designed is so small.

I had that realization with another habit, in first person. My hands can do so many things yet I choose to do this repeatedly.

That said, these habits don't usually develop as a choice, they're a sort of shield protecting us from deeper issues, formed during difficult times in our lives.

For example, there's girls who gain a lot of weight after being sexually abused, because being seen as less attractive makes them feel safer.

Just Enough FP: Argument Order
> It pre-assumes the amount owed is correct (in both the calculated and the policy sense) and sets the expectation that you probably owe whatever the pre-calculated amount is.

Considering the penalties for getting it wrong. Simply no. You assume it is correct if it matches the data you have, not by default.

What it does do is stop you from having to calculate the nitty whitty parts of the statements when the data from the tax agency matches the ones you got from the bank, your employer etc and you have the partial coverage of having been provided wrong data. You are still wrong but -most likely- you can amend if there are discrepancies outside of your control.

You get an extra point of reference, not a -get out of filing for free card-. Since the system I'm part of also forces companies to provide specialized summaries it's a lot easier to get the right data as well. Correctly filing (which includes ALL deductables) should never be so complicated you require a special degree or a leeching company to do it for you.

Willpower is effective as one component among many. Which means you're not relying on willpower alone. Much like you don't build a table with a single leg.
I don't understand why you're making this argument. It seems to basically be about the semantics of "deterministic" (or not) when composing different systems, which isn't really relevant to the original point.

Just because some macro systems can be non-deterministic doesn't mean they all are. If you have non-deterministic binary inputs to an AND gate, do you really mean to say the AND gate is not deterministic?
