Now I understand why Capital One pushes their chrome extension [0] so hard every time I login my account.

Just took a peak at the TOS for the extension [1] and yep, they're collecting a selling price data. It's crazy that by installing the chrome extension, "you are authorizing and directing [Capital One]" to scrape pricing data yet nothing about that is mentioned on the chrome extension page.

It's cool to have a virtual tour of open gallery space, but it would be orders of magnitude cooler to have a virtual tour of the works in a museum's collection that are not on view.

Most museums are only able to show a few dozen or hundred works in their galleries at a time, but store thousands of works in their collection. In an effort to accommodate this reality, many museums publish a freely available database of their collection. There isn't really a standard practice for creating, maintaining, and publishing these databases, so it really depends on each museum's collections team to do that work; and it will always be a relatively low priority. Digital exhibitions could radically change that.

No. The ability to pull more G's is seldom the deciding factor in air combat. The most important thing is detecting the adversary aircraft first (possibly via data link) so that you can dictate the terms of the engagement. Then once the shooting starts missile quality, defensive systems, and energy state (speed + altitude) make a huge difference. Even if the AI aircraft can pull 10 G's or more for a few seconds that won't necessarily be sufficient to cause a miss.
Having things "just work" can be really appealing. I once had an issue where my Linux distro of choice was having a tough time with my monitor orientation. I got quite a few linux gurus involved and none could figure it out. I'm sure it eventually would have worked, but that's not an experience I'm particularly fond of.

And then software that does exist will often have bugs for Linux that are overlooked due to how small the market is.

I feel the same way. It's interesting how someone new to something tackle issues compared to yourself that has been doing things a certain way for so long. I've definitely picked up new skills just by watching less experienced developers use their own way to handle issues, and I make sure to let them know when they've inspired or led to my own gain in knowledge. I think it's a positive feedback loop that strengthens a team.
Well, it's never random, is it? It's only random when all is equal, otherwise it's biased. That's why it works.

Consider birds. There was a good article a few days back, on why only non-toothed birds survived. Until the meteor-strike, 65M years ago, all was equal and they survived along-side. Until they were the only survivors.

The evidence that you claim is missing for genetic mutations increasing complexity over long-time frames is simply not supported by the wealth of evidence from multi different disciplines. I'm sure Dr. John Sanford is quite persuasive, but the words of one individual do not refute the decades and centuries of evidence that dispute this.

It is indeed thought terminating to continue to hold a belief if it is not supported by evidence. The idea that organisms were formed more or less as they are, and that natural selection is only capable of minor adjustments is something that is empirically testable by observing genetic lineage, and the fossil record. But the hypothesis fails under the weight of our observations. It does really appear that organisms have a direct lineage all the way back to the most primitive forms of life. In light of this, we must reject the hypothesis and accept what the evidence tells us. To do otherwise is allow dogma to cloud our judgement.

I know I said this already, but I'd like to repeat my opinion on the intersection between religion and science: I do not believe that the creator of the universe would want us to reject the tools that they have given us to understand their universe. To do so would be to dismiss and condescend their achievement. So why do you choose to do this with evolution? Despite it being one of the most well-supported scientific theories we have? As you mentioned, you accept natural selection, so clearly you accept aspects of the theory despite it contradicting your theology. I'm sure your beliefs contradict your theology all the time across many aspects of your life. Surely you accept that a text from the bronze-age written by fallible humans and influenced by the ideas of the very specific culture that produced it is not literally 100% true?
When the analog signal enters the CRT, there are nanoseconds of lag before that signal causes the phosphor to be lit up on the other side. That is different to how a typical digital display works (with buffering) and that is where you get the zero input lag of CRT.

> presumably you have some sort of digital to analog converter box

Yes the CRT will display the output of that DAC in real-time. No additional buffering/latency after that conversion.

The Atari 2600 video hardware had no framebuffer and the code running on the CPU was racing the electron beam, updating the graphics mid-scanline in real-time while the electron beam was scanning that line on the display. That was about as raw and zero lag as it gets. The other 8 bit and 16 bit consoles also did not have framebuffers.

Another guy has commented here saying that in theory you could do the same with digital displays. In practice they buffer the input and add latency.
Isn't asking this kind of like asking "why can't you just stand by and watch everything get worse like everyone else?"

I've learned to do this as well,
and as a consultant it's become part of my job,
so I've picked up a couple of extra tricks.

One kind of WTF that isn't usually obvious from looking is when doing what looks like a simple thing takes excessive time and effort.
Sometimes, after a couple of weeks, you can see something that has been in progress but not completed for no clear reason.
Oftentimes these extra effort things don't show up because the team avoids doing them unless absolutely necessary.
It's worth asking a team member for a tour around something you know from past experience in similar situations should be easy and quick.
A big tell is when the response to your request for a demonstration or explanation involves a need for someone to block out extra time or involve a specific individual who knows it best.

To use the World-Check datafile, you need decent tooling to go with it. You can either build your own, or use theirs. That said, it’s only as good as the analysts using the tools as well as the consultants configuring it. It’s a hard problem.

I'm not sure how this is a counter-point to the allegation that Tim Cook isn't really an engineer.
Those are all great points and these companies need to really be called out for open washing
Another example from another context: I have a friend who became a solo consultant. Specifically, she is great at diagnosing and fixing dysfunctional relationships between executives that can tank productivity for a whole company.

She found herself with too many clients, too much work, not enough sleep, and was frustrated that sometimes people didn’t even listen to her advice. She was happy as a solo practitioner and didn’t want to manage people.

My advice to her was to raise her rates…a lot. (Somehow that hadn’t occurred to her.) Now she’s happy with her time commitment, still well-compensated, and people pay attention because they’re paying more!

Bottom line: don’t assume you have to grow, but you do need to keep searching for the optimum setup for the size you want to be.
What if you’re a new grad that does have drive? You might still end up in a situation where all the experienced people want to work from home, and half of them are offshore anyway.

Because to turn at higher g would require a larger wing to grab more air, which is heavier, which would require more wing, which is heavier. The limitation is the density of modern aircraft construction.
Not by much. Building airframes that can handle higher G forces than a human comes at a huge weight penalty which impacts cost, range, and payload. Plus, it becomes really tough to avoid compressor stall when the flight envelope gets into high AoA plus high speed. The engineers end up having to do funky things with the inlet that increase drag and radar signature.

I can't comment on Chicago, and don't disagree about Boston, but your perception of NYC seems pretty off-base. NYC is extremely diverse. According to Wikipedia, "New York contains the highest total Asian population of any U.S. city proper." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asians_in_New_York_City

Likewise for the greater New York metropolitan area -- for example Jersey City is considered the most diverse city in the United States, and Bergen County has the largest percentage Korean population of any US county.

That's not surprising. There are plenty of suspicious things that aren't illegal. Moving $10k in cash around can often be legal, but could trigger a SAR. SARs aren't just supposed to catch illegal things. They catch suspicious things, and illegal things will be a small subset of those.

KYC checks have in the past resulted in me being unable to open a bank account due to a "discrepancy" between my SSN and my DOB (due to me being an immigrant).

The flip side of your comment is that 1 in 60 (including minors) people in the USA are on a watch list for financial crime.

I think more worrying as a society is not the risk to prosecution of financial crimes (this list being uncovered does not erase evidence of previous or current financial crimes in progress) is how those 1 in 60 people got to be on such a list in the first place.
> There was a lot of research into statistical models of slips – in particular boudler movement and how they break up – which didn't really work.

You remembered me history from Harrington Emerson (The twelve principles of efficiency).

As railroad worker, he frequently seen rails flooded by rain. Exist at least two solutions.

First, to build Embankment, so rails will be much over water level, which will cost at least few millions dollars. And sure, suffer all problems with slips in future.

Second, to dig trench near rails (in most cases it is obvious, where to dig) and just constantly pump out water from it, so all water from rain will be pumped out - it will cost few hundred dollars for digging and less than thousand dollars per year to support (100 years ago, now, sure more). No slips at all, because when ground is dry, no slip happen.

Guess, what usually chose management and why? :)

You of course run into pretty big problems with both Gabor Mate, an admirer of Hamas, and Noam Chomsky, who among other things is infamous for denying the genocide in Cambodia on campist grounds. About the whole cursed situation you can distill out a through-line, of people starting their analyses with the axiom that an alliance of western capitalist world powers is responsible on a daily basis for all the ills of the world, and extrapolating from there.

I don't know what I think about JVP other than that they're not a mainstream organization. I went down a grim rabbit hole of reading about their advocacy to evangelical churches and the whole "Zionism Unsettled" thing. Look, there's nothing wrong with being resolutely leftist. It's just that it's not reasonable to argue that a resolutely leftist organization is representative of American Jewish people, or that it can insulate other activists from charges of antisemitism when it itself is continuously subjected to those same charges.

About ADL, I probably mostly agree with you, that they haven't navigated the distinctions between anti-Zionism and antisemitism well, and, like other antiracist activist organizations, diluted their credibility with mission creep and capture. Like Rationalwiki, I read ADL things for the receipts they bring and disregard the analysis.

This thread, too, is deeply cursed, and I don't mean to try to "win" any arguments here; there's no such thing, especially on this topic. I'm just clarifying what I dropped in here to say.

You're right in a sense. But I wonder, what does it mean to say "we have enough resources to provide for all humans" when human nature itself makes it impossible to provide for all humans with the resources we have now. Possibly with any amount of resources.

It's not a resource issue, but it's not an external factor either.
It feels like there is a whole lot more cronyism and nepotism than I remember 20 years ago.

I am observing a lot of people in high paying jobs who don't have a clue how to do even the basics of their job (like being able to type proficiently in a job that requires written documentation).

What are you meant to do with one? Am I understanding correctly it's a daughterboard?
Possible, yes, but I know of a stretch of road that sounds identical to the one from the article. Single lane each way and the natural curve upward completely obscures your visibility of the opposing lane. There's "no passing" signage but I still see drivers continually pulling exactly the same maneuver going uphill and it's the most dangerous driving situation I can imagine.
In fairness to Amazon, Google was also doing that - by scanning everyone's receipts in gmail. I recall that coming up a few years (a decade?) ago, and was why companies like amazon no longer include useful information directly in emails - it's so great when a critical communication service is operated by an advertising company.

The data goes stale after a while. The real value of World-Check, is that it’s constantly updated, and if you’re using LSEG’s KYC screening platform, you get notified in real time as soon as anybody you’ve screened gets a new hit or update in the datafile. That covers you when good customers turn bad.
