This made the news only because of Boeing's current troubles with the MAX9. They richly deserve the scrutiny for that blunder, but cracked windshields on aircraft are not all that uncommon. A step above anecdotal, but if you go to the Aviation Herald and search for "cracked windshield"[1], the first page of results covers about a year and has sixty-something entries. About half are Boeing aircraft, but again, this is not rigorous, because Avherald doesn't cover everything (but please, support them if you can; they are a great resource.)

The way the project was structured, it was in the interest of everyone to succeed since everyone paid for their own development cost and only made money when the planes were sold. Not the easiest client to work for mind you - I've been told that many companies flat out refuse to work with them, but again, thinking back, I think that's what made the project a success, although extremely stressful.
Being overly cautious can also cause crashes.

There are cases that if you hesitate (for example stopping because you think you cannot clear the intersection on time), you surely gonna cause accident.

My sibling was a much more careful and law abiding young driver compared to me. The crash tally says otherwise.
Wait, what?

Are you talking about your original statement of new growth post-crisis, or about living through the death of a civilization's collapse, or about what 'civilization' means, or about companies being created and its employees?

I meant to point out that this kind of fee is finally just making it costlier to fly for everyone at SFO. It barely affects Uber or any of their drivers. It's effectively another hidden fee that airlines and airports are so fond of.
I'm not a structural engineer or anything, but I don't see how a single missing bolt would allow this to happen. It would have to be at least the two upper retaining bolts, neither of which were particularly picky about torque and both of which had cotter pins on castle nuts, ideally.

In my humble, ignorant opinion, this. You heard it here on the Internet. :)

Last I heard, though, none of the 4 main bolts were recovered, and they were going to do lab tests to try to determine if they were present to begin with.

Hire a driving instructor. Young people usually learn from their parents, but at your age maybe that's not practical.

Probably the main difference is overthinking. At 16 people assume they can learn anything with a little practice, but at 40 you might ask about "brain plasticity" and imagine driving is harder to learn than it is.
The artistic record is going to be stunning. “Now you can see an explosion in craftsmanship and diversity of perspectives from the Renaissance, when art became professionally viable outside of the patronage of religious/political institutions, to about 2020, when a new technology made it totally unviable for anyone to dedicate their life to developing artistic works. But hobbyist artists kept making it in their free time, so this is what we’re left with!”

Brilliant.

I think that's far from guaranteed. It could very well be the case that the oldest, most established, solutions would dominate the top, for instance.

Freedium: Paywall Breakthrough for Medium
Actually there's more crossover than you might think, but at an earlier point in the education process.

One of my coworkers at the first startup I worked at out of college was an MIT-trained aeronautical engineer. He was re-training as a software engineer for quant hedge funds (at a salary lower than what I got), because aeronautical engineering didn't pay enough to support a family in the Boston area. Jumped ship for an actual quant hedge fund during my tenure there, for 3x the pay. Then the financial crisis hit and I have no idea what became of him.

I think this is a pretty common story for the personality type that goes on to become software engineers. If it were the 70s/80s, when both defense and commercial aviation were hot, they would've gone into aviation. Many actually do go into aviation as their second career, eg. John Carmack, Phil Greenspun, or Sebastian Thrun. But the money has been in software from 2000-2020, and so that is where the smart engineers go.
I'm okay with recharging my phone, thanks.
I rearranged the clauses for clarity here:

"The problem is ... with expectations that it’s part of the job ... that academic leaders should have a 'foreign policy'"

> administrators should shut up and do their job

I read that with an implied "while performing duties of said job", not "at all times no matter what". In other words "Do not implement or promote said foreign policy on the job" as that (in their opinion) is not part of their job, but a personal matter to be tended to on personal time.

Stripped of context I can see why someone would take issue with that quote as the implication is dependent on that context, but in context he's clearly talking about performing their duties on the job. Afterall, the implication you're operating off of is that this person is expected to be on the job 24/7 and/or as such should never ever do anything ever that's not relevant to the job or in line with company policies, which is frankly absurd. It's why context is important and while a single line/quote can anchor an entire discussion or position, it rarely can fully embody or express it.

TL;DR: Needs context.

My impression is that Metal was a massive that succeeded because it was limited in scope to Apple platforms. It then put a bunch of pressure on Kronos to push out Vulkan. Prior to Metal, we thought that the future of OpenGL was newer versions of OpenGL.

I get a headache even thinking about projects that affect, like, three different teams within my own company. I can’t imagine the kind of migraine I’d get from trying to push a completely new standard out to multiple CPU architectures, operating systems, and GPU vendors across multiple companies.
Battery swapping didn’t make sense for electric cars because the battery itself constituted so much of the cost of an electric car.

It’s cheaper to buy two electric cars than to buy one + a spare battery, taking into account the labour cost of performing frequent battery swaps.

I’d guess similar economics applies to electric planes, although I admittedly don’t have a strong source to cite.

There are many of examples of educators being penalized for taking positions perceived to to be "anti-Israel":

* US professors suspended, probed over Gaza war comments: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-professors-suspended-pro...

* UM disciplines prof over Israel letter controversy: https://eu.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2018/10...

In the Salaita affair donors made it clear that donations would stop if they hired him. And the university complied. It would have been a nothingburger if his tweets were about Russia. Similarly, many US universities have divested from Russia, but all have consistently refused calls to divest from Israel.

As far as I understand, it uses general STT (which tries to transcribe everything, unlike say Picovoice which limits interpretation to only a few commands) + intent recognition. It probably can't interpret an utterance "stop" as anything other than its matching intent (even a bag of words classifier can) and since the STT's still the same, it probably won't change a thing.
Don't forget rent and energy. They like to gripe about the cost of labour and labour regulations, but the biggest share of operating expenses is rent, then energy.
>Palestine only exists today because Israel gave them land that they (Israel) won from wars that neighboring countries started.

The internationally accepted borders of Israel are based on the 1949 armistice. Israel did not "give" Gaza or the West Bank to Palestine, those are simply the borders. Israel started the 6-day war in 1967 that led to the present occupation.

we produced a connection card game in a couple of months end-to-end using AI. text is a true mixture of our ideas and GPT's 'ideas'. we gave GPT the vibe we wanted, let it generate tons of new stuff, then we heavily curated and remixed it.

art is created and curated by various AI tools. it does not rely on any particular artist's style. we bootstrapped the game using our own money, and this was only possible because we were able to produce our own visual assets.

AI is a tool in our kit just like figma and photoshop. people consistently have fun with the game in our playtest, and we're bringing our first print run to the world soon.

While working on my website again I've collected some of my favorite personal blogs in a short article.

I'm curious: What are your favorite personal websites and blogs?
The other comments are just wrong, clearly.
Your interpretation of my comments is negative. I’m not saying you can’t change your opportunity in life, I’m saying that if luck has anything to do with your success or failure, then it’s all based on luck, and nothing to do with what opportunities you create.

It may will be that I do everything wrong in life and limit my opportunities, and still win the lottery because I tripped and fell on my face and lo and behold there was a winning lottery ticket that someone misplaced.

What I am saying over and over again is increasing your odds of success. Does not change your luck. Just like you cannot change the fact if a coin lands on heads or tails. You have zero agency in that outcome.

A lot of other professions produce essentially solely economic value. Art and journalism are sort of inverted: people happen to be willing to pay for it which allows it to be produced, but the real value to society is external to that transaction. Thus: museums and archives.

It doesn’t make sense to preserve analogous records for most other professions.

The article makes it clear that isn’t the case. Anyway, the issue is much broader than just porn. Every additional constraint you add on a job means the people leftover are somewhat less competent at their actual job.

Google for example is stuck with worse programmers due to their hazing stile interviews meaning many of the best either don’t apply or get falsely rejected. For companies this this isn’t such a big deal, but it helps explain why political parties rarely pick candidates that people really want to vote for.

This is a weird claim. How are the bombs selectively targeting women? Are the bombs sexist?

“Allowed money”? Gaza has been self governing for years. Do you want Israel to intervene in politics in Palestine or not? You can’t have it both ways - either they pull out and let Gaza self govern, or they meddle in political affairs and make sure money is spent in a way they like. What would you have them do?

I agree with your main points - the loss of civilian life seems like an avoidable tragedy. (As were the Israeli civilian deaths a few months ago). But the strange points you make at the start of your comment weaken the overall message.

For extra clarity:

> Nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers are powered by onboard nuclear reactors. Atoms in the nuclear reactor split, which releases energy as heat. This heat is used to create high-pressured steam. The steam turns propulsion turbines that provide the power to turn the propeller. Additional turbines also make electricity for the ship. As the steam cools and condenses back into water, the water is directed back through the system, and the process starts again.

From https://arrow.apache.org/faq/ :

> How does Arrow relate to Flatbuffers?

> Flatbuffers is a low-level building block for binary data serialization. It is not adapted to the representation of large, structured, homogenous data, and does not sit at the right abstraction layer for data analysis tasks.

> Arrow is a data layer aimed directly at the needs of data analysis, providing a comprehensive collection of data types required to analytics, built-in support for “null” values (representing missing data), and an expanding toolbox of I/O and computing facilities.

> The Arrow file format does use Flatbuffers under the hood to serialize schemas and other metadata needed to implement the Arrow binary IPC protocol, but the Arrow data format uses its own representation for optimal access and computation

The problem is that the line is very arbitrary and capricious.

I work for a government entity, and am subject to a variety of ethics laws that dictate certain aspects of my behavior outside of work. It’s onerous and heavy handed, but at least there are rules and case law to provide some level of due process and fairness. It still sucks - I actually have a social life, and I have to be very careful about who I’m around and that there is no problematic perceptions.

With private sector employers, especially entities that aren’t publicly traded, you don’t always know where you stand and the rules are subject to the whims of people whom you may not even know.

If you aren’t in a public facing role authoritatively representing the company or using the company to promote your outside activity, it should be a non issue. How many gays were drummed out and persecuted before the law protected them?

>If you don't want these rug pulls and employment laws to keep getting watered down, instead of asking about 4 day work weeks, start voting for candidates and parties that have better employment laws at the top of their policies.

What would "better employment laws" look like for you? After all, the parent's theory was that she was fired because she was on the verge of getting additional employment protection, and her performance was mediocre, so rather than risk being saddled with an underperforming employee they fired her just to be safe. Stronger laws against termination would make this problem worse, either by causing companies to be even more aggressive to fire people before their probationary period ends, or try to mitigate risk earlier in the hiring pipeline.
What a stupid comment. Being gay is not a choice, creating an OnlyFans certainly is.
