You're not wrong, but probably applying a critique which is irrelevant to the product under discussion. I don't think potential owners of 'robotic pets' will be making purchases based on maximising payload capacity, or practical real-world applications.
> There's been discussions where the "next" airport should go in the Seattle region, and the consensus is that nobody wants it. The State Legislature created a commission to try and identify some potential sites, but the public backlash was so great that they ended up submitting it's final report with no actual recommendation.

The commission was hampered by rules that stated they couldn't look into increasing the existing airports capacity.

"Survey responses also conveyed members’ views on what kind of options the Legislature permitted them to consider — the 2019 legislation prohibited considering sites in King County, or those near military bases. Some members noted that those constraints hindered their search efforts, with some doubting whether it’s possible to have a new airport operational by 2040." https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/state...

The "next" airport is basically just expanding SeaTac. There's plans to add a second terminal in SAMP
https://www.portseattle.org/sites/default/files/2018-06/1805...
And then even WSDOT's project for the new 509 extension is to allow freight traffic to reach the seatac airport.

Outside of that the other regional airport to be used is king county international airport -- even back in 2005 southwest looked into using it.

Paine field, while it has the capacity is not where the demand is for passengers. Secondly, I don't think many people realize the bottleneck for SeaTac airport is not just passenger traffic but freight traffic. It's why the airport commission keeps choosing sites south of Seattle aka Pierce County or Thurston County because it's close to the port of tacoma. They aren't going to choose Paine field.
There's nothing wrong with people finding sonic booms annoying. Even Boom conceded this by naming itself after its worst externality, and pretending (in its early startup phase) that it was pursuing technology to make supersonic flight less loud.
I would agree that the big three didn't think they could make it work, be that for technical reasons, money reasons, limited market reasons, etc. the end result is the same.

Where I would disagree is that Boom can make it work. The amount of specialized knowledge you need in design and analysis as well as test and manufacturing facilities makes it near impossible for an outsider get in the game. Which is why there aren't any in the commercial jet engine space. GE, PW, RR and I guess Safran is pretty much it. You can't just decide you are going to do the R&D yourself and pop out a new engine in 5 years.

FWIW, according to Estonian news, this is apparently information provided by TASS, the Russian state-owned news agency.
1) incomplete statement - When the bank creates new money (its liability to you) it does so because it agreed a loan contract with you (its asset).

The consequences of this are wide ranging, but relevant to this thread, it means a bank does not get richer when creating money, it gets richer when you pay interest in excess of its costs of providing you with money. Although the bank created the loan money from nothing, it still ends up with significant costs to provide that money, for example through capitalisation regulations on the asset.

Another relevant consequence of this is that a bank is not incentivised to have a huge balance sheet - which it would have if it only made loans. Instead these loans made are securitised and removed from the bank’s assets. This means interest paid on the loan no longer goes to the bank but to whoever bought the loan.

Really? You think it's wise to "not anthropomorphize" a computer program designed to create the most effective neural network to model massive amounts of anthropomorphic data as accurately as possible?

That's an interesting choice, and might leave you confused as to why Anthropic's system message for the SotA model at the moment talks about it being 'happy' to do tasks (a prompt strategy I was mentioning months ago here on HN).

The data is anthropomorphic. We should expect anthropomorphic behavior and modeling from the LLMs if they do a halfway decent job and expect even more of it as they do a better job.
But it may scale -- that's science in progress
Agreed, but I’m free to curate the tools I use based on whatever criteria I want.

> The existence of business class flights proves this wrong

I don't see how it does. Wanting a more comfortable experience than being crammed into a narrow seat for hours when travel/physical presence is actually necessary doesn't somehow translate into necessary travel being underserved.

(Specifying necessary travel because that's the GP's point - just because there are people who want to take 10 minute hops between neighbouring cities or to fly out for meetings that could have been conducted perfectly well over a call doesn't mean that the world should cater to their whims.)
Not much on Diesel.

Also, not much on steel. It's amazing that the steam-powered industrial revolution was built with iron, not steel. Early engines had very low operating pressures. Some even just condensed steam and ran below atmospheric pressure. Attempts to operate at higher pressures resulted in leaks at best and boiler explosions at worst. The materials were just not good enough. Otto's 1862 engine would run for only a few minutes before breaking itself. Some later engines used the power stroke to lift a heavy weight, and as the weight came back down, it powered the output through a ratchet. Using that big burst of power from the power stroke needed much better materials. Otto finally got a cylinder-crank-flywheel engine working in 1876. Here's a working Otto engine of that original design, cranking out 7 horsepower.[1] Note all the shiny machined steel parts. That design would not work in iron.

Today, crankshafts, main bearings, pistons, piston rods, and piston rings are solved problems. It took about half a century to get all those parts to work reliably, and a full century before engines outlasted the rest of the vehicle.

Internal combustion pressures are higher, and Diesels have far higher pressures than gasoline engines. The materials problems are tougher. Without strong steel, Diesels are hopeless.

No but Angular 17 is backwards compatible with @angular/material@16 so you can upgrade Angular without having to upgrade Material [1]. We currently run @angular/core@17.0.8 and @angular/material@16.2.12 in production without problems.

In the end this only buys you another 6 months but helped us get ready for Angular 18 in May.

I've actually shifted most of my personal dev to Rust now, and so this vtable hack has become less relevant. Rust makes it very easy to avoid virtual functions. If I had to redo this bit of code in Rust, a trait would boil any sort of update function down to its concrete type and give (I'd expect) great performance with all the convenience of virtual functions.
And it never destroys anything.

We deprecated legacy components in v15 to be removed in v17. Even though they’ll not be part of the Angular Material v17 package, you can still update your apps to Angular v17 and use the v16 Angular Material package. This will be an option until v18, after which Angular Material v16 will no longer be compatible with newer versions of Angular.

The thing is, limits like this are never, ever raised.

40 years ago Canada got rid of the $1000 and $500 note. In all that time, the idea of bringing the $500 back has never been floated.

Yet soon, $100 will be worth $20 back then. I already find myself using $100s all the time, I used to fill my car for $25 in the 80s, now it's $80. Groceries are the same, I used to buy $30 per week, now it's over $100.

As time progresses, you'll have to carry a briefcase to buy gas or groceries.

So 5000 may seem like a good limit, but in 20 years
you may not be able to buy groceries, or get gas, or buy a computer with cash or record keeping.

I always pay cash for my hardware. I don't need the store to link my serial number to my credit card number. I'm already using MAC addresses off of old ISA NIC cards.
> More than 90% of responding citizens spoke out against such a step.

It was a web survey with fairly low numbers: 30,317 in total, which is very little for all of the EU.[1]

And of course the results of this will be biased towards people who object to this. If there had been a meaningful number of respondents then it might be a signal of sorts, but as it stands with 28,784 people protesting this is completely meaningless. You can find those numbers on almost any proposal.

Never mind the responses are almost exclusively from France, Germany, and Austria. All of Ireland is represented by just 14 people. Netherlands 26. Etc.

> According to an ECB survey up to 10% of citizens use cash even for amounts greater than 10.000 € (e.g. buying cars)

I can't find this survey. I can find some ECB surveys about cash, but nothing that confirms this. The phrasing "up to" makes me suspicious, especially since the previous claim is already a misrepresentation.

Also note that buying a car is rarely anonymous as it is, because registration and/or insurance is usually mandatory. I don't think there are EU members where this is not the case?

That is often the experience already when using a big hub airport. Because by their very nature they draw people in from across a region. And that naturally leeds to congestion and inconvenience. Rail is a help but may not be fast if you don't live close to the right stations.

I think hubs are often setup to serve airlines running lots of connecting flight rather than the regional population. They would be happier flying out of a small local airport on a narrowbody and flying direct or connecting elsewhere.

> nonsensical conspiracy theories that match their ideological priors

People's lived experiences in many parts of the country don't match what they're being told. If macro trends go one way but microtrends all over the country go the other way, then the macrotrend analysis is functionally meaningless for millions of people. That's not a conspiracy theory, and hand-waving so many people's lived experiences away because it doesn't match YOUR ideological prior is not taking the discussion seriously and fundamentally and possibly wilfully misunderstanding the issue. Insisting that people everywhere saying life is harder than it was pre-pandemic or 10 years ago or whatever are wrong "because the charts say so" is silly.
