Housing can be very affordable if living in a dense metropolitan area is not a requirement. There are also some efficiency gains happening with design automation and prefabrication that are very slowly creeping into the industry.

I think an immediate option with real benefits would be to provide a small tax advantage for businesses to allow remote/hybrid work. Obviously not everyone can do this, but for those that can, they could live where they can afford to and stop spending hours a day driving to and from an office. Personally, I work at an AEC firm that requires physical presence; however, I have had nearly zero productive in-person interactions in the office. The design team is in another state. Meetings are on MS Teams even when everyone is a few feet aeay from each other. If I talk to anyone, it's purely for the relief of the distraction it provides. I spend no less than 10hr a week commuting.

In the US.

And you're actually raising a good point here: Only US citizens get to vote on the US federal government, which controls FAA, yet many countries indirectly rely on the FAA as the primary regulator for Boeing, as far as I understand.

Maybe the regulators of a few large industrial nations or the EU have the size/staffing/funding and leverage necessary to make a difference (and that's still a few steps removed from the FAA!). Others (Ethiopa and Indonesia come to mind) are effectively at the mercy of the FAA.

This is all due to the ongoing attempt to convert FOSS into an obligation. The original idea behind FOSS was to code to scratch your itch and then leave it out there for anyone to find, modify and use. Instead we now treat FOSS code like commercial projects with performance goals and expectations.

Why? My guess is that this new culture is promoted to extract free labor from hobby developers. Take for example, Github. It has a bot to close stale issues after a given interval of inactivity. But what if the issue was valid and unresolved? What's the problem in leaving it open for someone interested to take it up? But what GH wants to promote is a culture where open issues are considered as bad performance on the maintainer's side. It indirectly prompts the maintainers to take open issues too seriously.

Yes, LLVM has many bugs that Clang either doesn’t hit or has actively worked around, sometimes for years. There was never a huge push to fix that situation, which made using LLVM for other languages a disappointing experience. Rust has uncovered many of those bugs over time, and it seems like Rust is an important enough customer that those do get fixed now. Slowly.

For example, I remember that for many years, Rust would have to throw away part of its aliasing analysis because its annotations were too precise and would confuse LLVM’s optimizer. And so on. But it’s getting better.
I am guessing many consumers considers aviation safety a broader topic than "fatal accidents" which this article focuses on.
In the old days it was probably possible to actually detect a TV based on the intermediate frequency. There's no transmitter but neither are they TEMPEST-rated equipment, there would be leaks. But that only detects that there's an operating receiver, not what it is receiving. Originally, live was the only option--but not any more.
If you break the build they’ll notice
Elon Musk says Russia 'will certainly gain more land' in Ukraine
It also should be considered that accidents depend on chance. It is completely fine to point out that aviation has gained an enormous standard of safety, which is the result of around of a hundred years of constant vigilance and self improvement of the industry.
Nevertheless a commercial airliner, recently produced, lost a door mid flight. Under less fortunate circumstances that could have been a major disaster and the statistic would look very different.

I think the worry people have is that safety standards are slipping, when it comes to building airplanes, specifically Boeing building airplanes. This is not something that would be noticeable in an accident statistic while it is actually happening, yet it is an extremely serious matter for the safety of aviation in the future.

Well, I think you forgot a lot of things.

- The current central government's conviction rate is 2%. In 98% of cases accused are released.

- The current central government uses ED and other investigation agencies to force other commercial companies to "donate" money through electoral bonds.

- The main accuser in this case donated a huge amount to the central government party and then he became the witness against the Delhi CM. Not only that "Delhi liquor policy case: Accused-turned-approver’s father gets Lok Sabha ticket from BJP ally [1] "

- One of the Delhi Government's ministers Sisodia was arrested one year ago, and he is still in jail and the ED hasn't been able to prove his case.

- 95% of cases filed by the Indian Investigators Agency known as ED are against the opposition party members.

- If the accused opposition party members join the central government party, all cases are dropped against them.

True in some contexts but right now the BBC CEO is concerned that they can't afford expensive dramas like Netflix or Prime can.
Regarding bias, commentators on both left and right claim bias in the other direction. This does not imply the BBC is neutral - to (dis)prove that would require study.

Adopting the assumptions of the original comment, Boeing have managed to kill people despite the FAA, although as you point out it wasn’t in 2023.
People often complain about designers making changes to websites/software that simplify the ui and display less information for the sake of improving clarity, but I do think that it might be the right answer here.

Do people really want a clock on every kitchen appliance in 2024? I usually will just turn off the clock where possible now and just use my phone for time. Having no clock isn't a problem but having a clock showing the wrong time is a problem.

By sheer luck. Loosing a door mid flight could have ended very differently.
Yahweh was originally a weather god, not unlike Zeus, well before being interwoven with El during proto-Judaism [1]. Any "Greek period" of the eventual Jewish faith, to which you refer, ended certainly by their complete adoption of monotheism. Judaism came "pre-Greeked".

That particular Council affirmed that Christianity's God is triune by expressly rejecting Arianism. God sending God to do things God could already do is heavily a consequence of the trinity [2], hence why Nicaea was a big deal theologically.

Whether a monotheistic God is unary, binary, trinary, etc has implications that seem sufficiently fundamental that no major religion will abandon its chosen view.

"I cancelled my TV licence 2 years ago after checking with them that I did not need a TV licence to watch such as Iplayer etc, as I found I was watching very little TV due to work and then when I did nothing I watched was live - or at the broadcast time."

Sharon, barnsley UK

Sharon was mistaken. You do need a licence to watch iPlayer. You need a licence to watch satellite and cable. You need a licence to watch streaming services like Netflix or Prime. You don't have to be watching it live, you need a licence to record or timeshift. I think you don't need a licence to watch pre-recorded material on VHS/DVD/Blueray.

The vans do exist (or at least they did - I haven't seen one since the 70s). I'm pretty certain they were bogus. There's a lot of bullshit in those comments; I assume some of it is from the TV Licensing Authority.

There's a comment there saying that the TVLA doesn't have the power to investigate and prosecute under the Police And Criminal Evidence Act; that is false. The TVLA has the same prosecuting powers as the Post Office, currently notorious for the Horizon Scandal.

At the very bottom of TFA, there's a date: the article is from 2011. Maybe that should be appended to the HN title.

TV licensing is absurd. You're expected to fund the BBC via the licence, even if you don't watch BBC. And in funding the BBC, you are funding the World Service, a government propaganda operation controlled by the Foreign Office. The Director General of the BBC is appointed directly by the government, so arguably the BBC is a government operation, and should be funded from taxes. If it were funded from taxes, we might not have 4 (four!) BBC TV channels, in addition to the panoply of TV channels broadcast by companies that are not the BBC, but in which the BBC is a majority shareholder and provides much of the content (e.g. Dave).

End it, already.

That is also a difficult problem - how do you know beforehand, that a problem is worthwhile? That someone else thinks it is important? Or how high is "ambitious" if you never tried to do a thing? There is a lot of luck in that system.

Y'all unfairly flagged my comment. It was a totally valid thread of conversation.

I didn't read to the end of the blog post to see the closing remarks about AI because there was no context about what Pepper and Carrot is/was.

You'd think someone who liberally licenses their work and encourages reuse would be happy that remixing is available to lots more people. I don't understand how you want your work to be reused, but only by people who spent decades learning pen and paper techniques. That's gatekeeping.

Regardless of what these people feel, Gen AI will make creation more accessible to lots of people. It's just as computers and smartphones have done. You don't have to be a mathematician with decades of experience using punch cards. Or a medieval priest with access to books before the printing press.

> On Another hand, I don't have anything against AI tools themself, Generative Art or Neural Networks algorythm. If you know my work, I even offered more than once my art to train neural network for scientific paper and research. I just want the tools to be built on ethical datasets based on scrapping only Public Domain and CC-0 resources before using them (or the work of artists who consent).

Doesn't seem so anti-AI to me.
> That is a legitimate strategy

Yeah, definitely. Sorry if my post came across as saying anything else. The word "crude" simply referred to the facts that it's not complicated (which is good, one of the technique's strong suites tbh), and it's not complicated in a way that throws away parameters you might actually care about and which a more advanced strategy could consider (e.g., if you have one really big customer then you have to amend the sharding strategy).

It introduced its own set of costs (those "you" problems you mentioned, like aggregation and billing), but I think it was the right choice.
Loved one is probably overselling it - she cut me loose for the man she would eventually marry and then passed away a few years later, but it certainly made it all seem even more pointless than before.

I’m mostly responding to all the advice I see about the benefits of marriage. My response tends to be something like, “so…?”. It occurs to me that no one of these people really talks about the benefits of dating, which seems like a pretty significant prerequisite. And again, I suspect there’s a lot of selection effects going into that data as well.

Not that I don’t appreciate your comments.
I think you and your parent comment are saying the same thing.

I think that our mortgage scheme generally, and treating real estate as an investment specifically, leads to competing incentives.

Controlling what other landowners can do with their land can always be financially advantageous, but I don't understand why you'd think this is a good way to run society.

Shall we not build anything anywhere that could result in a negative externality? No one is suggesting that they want to open 'Blood Plants' [0] or similar in your neighborhood.

That (subtly) misses my point. They mentioned min-plus algebra and linked it to "tropical semiring", but that only focuses on the mathematical concept, not the application. To give an analogy: it's akin to discussing "objective functions" and "derivatives" and how machine learning makes use of them (while linking to the "mathematical optimization" Wikipedia article), while failing to mention the keywords "gradient descent" and "loss function".
The minus sign might seem insignificant to a mathematician, but the discussion fails to communicate (or even acknowledge) that one of those terms is the canonical one that comes up in that field/application. This introduces a bit of an extra hurdle for those seeking more literature in the area.
I so believe the opposite of this IF you come at the right ones the right way?

Which is to say, once you read (or skimmed) enough of them, it's easy to get a sixth sense of the "intelligence" and "motivation" of the writer, and the sincere ones, even if not smart, are still pretty enjoyable if taken with many salt grains, and I'm a sucker for them (again, not in terms of following exactly what they say to do, but appreciating the motivation and good-intent of the author and possibly picking up something along the way.)

They'll have names like PSYCHO-CYBERNETICS and just be like "try to be nice to people and sit down and be quite a few times a day."

A sort of perfect example would be the fictional "The You You Are" from the TV Show Severance. I hope they actually write it, I know I'd LOVE it.

OMG the dark mode button
This hasn't been my experience. In my experience, the reason why your ops teams divest themselves from the marketing side is because marketing decides to contract some firm to design their site for them, and the firm decides to deploy to Vercel or WP-Engine or whatever. Then, Marketing comes to ops and says "hey, I need you to change this DNS thing" weeks/months into their engagement, with no understanding of the ramifications. Ops/product team pushes back, because the change would fundamentally break the application. Marketing gets defensive, "we've spent all this time and money on this, you just need to make it work", a broken halfway solution is implemented, and ops/product, in protest, divests themselves from the solution. Bingo bango, shadow IT is ratified, the kludgy hackjob lives in production forever, and no one thinks about it until the next time something breaks.

Reminds me of the time marketing decided to change the logo on the marketing site for the product team I was on without being aware that the site was scraped and redeployed on a different domain (by hand). When the logo changed, the CSS for the image element wasn't updated, truncating part of the logo, proudly displaying the word "ass" as a part of the logo in an unfortunate cropping incident.
I’m not an expert on this. if it ticks all the legal and other issues big companies need to deal with in a frictionless manner, then that’s good. If not, maybe a different solution is needed.

It's getting harder and harder to be anonymous on reddit. I used to rotate my accounts every year but now they keep shadowbanning me. So I had to jump through some hoops, and while one VPN was indeed instantly network blocked, another country/server from the same vendor was not.

So eventually I got my new account for 2024 sorted.

But now I'm afraid to login from my regular browser because I'm pretty sure they have it fingerprinted. The only reason I got this far with the account was through Firefox private mode, and creating the account at a friends place.

So I've upgraded Firefox now and hopefully that, and releasing my ISP DHCP IP, will be enough.
