You'd lose that bet. The wings would fail long before people blacked out. They're only required to withstand 2.5g positive. Blacking out takes more like 6. We can see from various crashes that that sort of G load does in fact cause most wings to fail.

Aircraft have to be built light for the sake of efficiency (or even, just, being able to get off the ground.

There are certainly factors of safety... but not 3x+. Probably closer to 1.5.
This might be a cynical view of things, but I think it's planned, rather than a happenstance result of dysfunction. Gosh gee Willikers, the fellers in congress just can't get anything done ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's no coincidence that Republicans simultaneously obstruct congress AND have a well-oiled machine to get their political allies on the bench. The playbook is like this:

- The Federalist Society establishes a pipeline of ideologically consistent judges. From law school to the supreme court.

- Congress blocks anything and everything on the legislative, so that any actual new change to the laws of the land come from new interpretations by the courts.

- This bloc in the lower courts works to bubble up good cases when they come, to get them before the higher courts.

- Every time there is a Republican in the executive, they appoint as many judges as they possibly can from this ideological bloc [1]. This ensures that a good case, when it comes, has a clear path from the bottom (local) courts to the top (supreme) court. The merits of appointees do not matter in the selection process - only a pledge of ideological fealty.

This project has been actively working for decades to change policy. There is nothing like this on the other side of the aisle. These are lifetime appointments. You cannot win on "good faith" against tactics like this. "Good faith" is insisting that the Judicial is "not political," it's not stepping down when it's politically opportune to do so.

[1] "At the 2018 Federalist Society gala, Orrin Hatch, the former Republican senator from Utah, declared, to the crowd’s delight, “Some have accused President Trump of outsourcing his judicial selection process to the Federalist Society.

I've never tried Soylent but in 2019 I started eating Huel and since August 2020 every single calorie I have ingested, except when eating with friends, has been from Huel.

In that time my high blood pressure has disappeared, my elevated cholesterol has disappeared, I have gone from pre-diabetic to normal, every single result in every single blood test it is possible for a general practitioner to order is exactly, not almost but actually exactly, in the middle of the normal range. That was NOT the case before.

My teeth haven't fallen out, in fact because I ingest practically no sugar my teeth are spectacular. I don't longingly pine for a steak or salad, and I haven't withered away into nothing on a diet of ground-up plants and such.

The three or so times per week I eat "typical" foods with friends I laugh and chat and peck at my food and then go back to what works for me.

On top of all that I feel fantastic and have hours more time every day-- except unlike most lifehackers I use my extra time to relax and do nothing.

If that's a delusion call me Don fucking Quixote.
The standard does not have to support nesting.

But if I was writing a similar standard today and someone was pressuring me that I really had to make some kind of mechanism for nesting, I'd use something that transforms the field to remove the need for escaping, in a big and obvious way. Probably base64. That prevents most of the implementation issues you see with CSV.
Aren't all of the branches of government supposed to represent the public interest? What makes the executive uniquely qualified to do so? I would think that there are few people who would say that the past two administrations have both represented the public interest. People tend to think that their favored administration was serving the public interest, and the disfavored one was tearing down the progress of his predecessor.

> Faced with the ability to legally incarcerate nearly 600,000 people, states likely won't hesitate to do just that without a second thought.

Prisoners cost ~ $40k a year annually in taxes. It's actually cheaper to house them - so I don't think states are going to be gung-ho about doing either.
It is a bit of a chicken and egg problem here. If those characters were used then at least for CSV support better text editors would find a way to handle them. Since they aren't nobody wants to try to use them in a CSV like file.
If plane wings were hinged (allowing a wing to flop down, but not up), then even the worst turbulence couldn't cause negative G in the cabin. That would pretty much eliminate injuries.

Obviously the wings need to lock into place for landing, and many structural elements of the craft would need to be redesigned.
by 1974 presumably plenty of recordings of the language could have been made, and apparently that was the case.

Supreme Court casts doubt on Jan 6 cases
There are some issues that are bad, but most of these issues with the _certificates_ are minor.

The problem is that to be a CA in the root stores you agree to (and entrust voted in support of) a pile of rules, and entrust demonstrated a complete disinterest in complying with those rules.

The reason for removing trust is not the severity of the original errors, it's the the severity of errors in the response.

1. The BRs requires revocation of invalid certificates with 5 days unless there is an exceptional reason not to. Entrust did not.

2. In the event a CA discovers that they are mis-issuing certificates they are required to stop issuing until they have resolved the error. In this case not only did entrust not do this, but they explicitly stated - after the issues were raised, and they were already told they were failing to revoke certs in the required time frame - that they were intentionally continuing to mis-issue

3. They repeatedly made errors in the past, promised to correct them, and then kept making the same errors

4. They made claims they were trying to get customers to prepare for revocation in the require 5 day window, but then it turned out they were telling customers that they had 30+ days (which was only discovered when one of the relevant customers forwarded info to someone else)

5. When a CA discovers miss issuance they are required to file an incident report, and provide detailed information about how it occurred, why it was not caught, what remediating steps are being taken, and what mechanisms are being introduced to ensure a similar failure cannot occur in future. None of Entrust's responses came close to this, until the chrome root store rep came in to say "this is unacceptable", and even then their "improved" reports were incomplete and lacked sufficient detail.

6. Once they were finally doing the basic steps they were meant to have done the moment they learned of the miss-issuance they repeatedly failed to produce an accurate set of the impacted certificates (as in the provided a list and people outside of Entrust were able to immediately turn around and say "but these certs are also broken, why aren't you listing those details")

and so on and so forth.

I was going to comment this as well. Somehow we as a country managed to get by before 1984.
> Specifically, Congress specified in law that "authorizes the government to require trained, professional observers on regulated fishing vessels". But their law did not specify who would pay for these observers. So under Chevron, the agency got to decide. And, shocker! They decided they did not have to pay for it.

Isn't that just the default assumption of all regulatory law? e.g. when the FDA adds an ingredient labeling requirement, there's no expectation that the FDA has to pay for the costs of adding the labels. When the EPA says "hey you can't dump your waste in this river" they don't have to pay the cost of getting rid of it in a compliant way. This doesn't strike me as an abuse at all.
Early computers didn't have screens. Their output was via typewriters called teletypes.
We identified and solved for 2 key problems with generating data using GPT:
1. Duplicate/similar data points - we solve this by adding deduplication to our pipeline.
2. Incorrect question-answers - we check for correctness and context relevance. Filter out incorrect rows of data.

Apart from this, we generate a diverse set of questions including complex reasoning and chain of thought.

We also generate domain specific unsafe questions - questions that violate TnC of the particular LLM to test the model guardrails.
As I understand it modern US airlines (Delta in specific) employ a meteorology team tasked to predict turbulence and they also run complex turbulence tracking systems that allow one plane that detects turbulence to communicate to a centralized system that allows other planes to change altitude or heading to avoid turbulent areas when possible.

Therefore both can be true at the same time: turbulence events are increasing, but we are also getting better at predicting, avoiding, and dealing with these events.

> It makes it, not just de facto, but de jure illegal to be poor.

Wha? No, that's literally not true: Taking a de facto situation and making it more intense doesn't magically transmute it into de jure.

If it is truly de-jure illegal to be poor now, you'd be able to point at a law on the books which says that.
Software developers say that we have issues in the software that needs to be fixed or updated. Managment, who has never seen one line of code in their life says "no, make new features". And then the software starts to fall.
My son believes this.
We had agencies writing regulations well prior to 1984.

The first: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Commerce_Commission

Chevron was a failed attempt at knocking that setup down.

There's plenty of political support across the US to imprison people, no matter how much it costs. There's almost none to build people housing, even if it's cheap. People are illogical like that.
>Simply because you're not a fan of the outcomes doesn't mean that the appointments of justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett were illegitimate.

I agree; just because I don't like their made-up and pre-determined justifications doesn't make their appointments illegitimate; that would be Mitch McConnell's blatant disregard for the timely execution of his responsibilities basically without recent precedent and certainly inconsistent between the times he did actually fulfill his duties.
Maybe I missed something in the article, but it goes through the companies office finding companies based on the names of key Reform UK members.

Thats great and all. But if congress wants that power to be delegated to those agencies, then they should write a law to do so.

Thats all people here want. Whatever power it is that you think that agencies should have, try to pass a law to do that first.

OneCoin appeared in 2014 and was essentially a multi-level marketing scam with crypto at the core.

How old school.

New school is "stable coins" with unverified backing.

Most crypto fans don't really care about the backing (or lack thereof) as long as they keep getting a cut of the proceeds.

The problem is the fine line between the scammer and the scam-ee is kinda vague.
> Andrew James Bridgen[2] (born 28 October 1964) is a British politician and businessman who has served as Member of Parliament (MP) for North West Leicestershire since 2010. He was a member of the Conservative Party until his expulsion in April 2023, having had the whip suspended in January after criticising the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines and claiming that an Israeli cardiologist told him it constitutes "the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust".

…

> On 29 February 2024, Bridgen referenced capital punishment as an appropriate response to "crimes against humanity" regarding the vaccine rollout.[87]

Is he not?
There's healthy skepticism about vaccine side effects, and then there are these antics:

> On 11 January 2023, Bridgen had the Conservative whip suspended after tweeting about COVID-19 vaccines: "As one consultant cardiologist said to me, this is the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust." Bridgen claimed the tweet had been moderated by staff members, which was denied by a Conservative Party spokesman.[84] Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called the comparison "utterly unacceptable".[5] Two days later, Bridgen issued a statement saying his tweet was not antisemitic, and apologised "for any offence caused". He said he was taking legal advice about action against those who had labelled him as antisemitic. Bridgen further contended that he asked "reasonable questions" about the side-effects of mRNA vaccines, and had "received huge support from ordinary people, medical workers [and] those who have experienced vaccine harms themselves".[85]

I mean, isn't the possibility of any of the major cloud vendors getting 'hacked', or cryptolocked, one of the biggest threads to any country?

Right now almost everyone gets to vote ( basically if you are a citizen who is over 18 you get to vote in most democracies) but when you look at how the government actually functions a majority of these voters are strongly net beneficiaries of government (through direct and indirect transfers) and have almost no risk from any of their votes because the strongest argument you can make is their taxes may go up but their transfers will likely still cover it and those transfers may be in forms that are less optimal than whatever they were spending that cash on directly before it was taxed away and then transferred back. Its' a very weak claim to having any skin in the game. Even among the minority of people actually paying for all this and not getting it back as transfers, you can make an argument that a subset of those guys are also largely insulated because they are good at getting excess government subsidy for their businesses via lobbying. Overall, there's a very tiny group of people who are experiencing actual costs from the decisions made by voters, which is stupid. Most of the people making the decisions need to have some real exposure to their decisions. I would personally do it by requiring people put up 2 weeks salary as a bond that pays some nominal interest but is stuck for at least the period that that election is valid for and if the people elected run deficits then the deficit is paid for out of the posted salary first prorated so that everyone experiences the same percentage of the pain and has to post the same percentage again at the next election if they want to vote there. You could also solve this by limiting voting to the people actually paying but that's a really bad idea for abuse reasons. Better to keep the voter rolls as broad as possible and just ensure people get a taste of the results of their choices as above (or through some other method, I'm open to ideas).
My comment on this is that the statement "just build more homes" is not an effective solution to this problem. We have enough homes. The issue is that as homes are viewed as an investment, rather than as a necessity to live a decent life, they must maintain scarcity. If there is not a scarcity, then it will be created.

Interest rates have tripled, which should have dropped house prices. Construction is faster than it was before the 2007 Housing Crisis. Both of these factors should have drastically reduced housing costs, however, prices are still 40% higher than they were in 2020.

I'm not saying to confiscate homes. I'm not saying to force people to rent out their homes to homeless people.

>A large chunk of homeless people are drug addicts with serious mental health problems.

Only 26% of homeless people abuse drugs. A vast amount of homeless people are veterans who have complex mental health problems from their service in the military, elderly people who are trying to survive off of insufficient SSI payments, or LGBTQ youth who were kicked out of their homes.

This isn't a problem that can be solved with some witty one-sentence solution. This is a problem that takes layers of support systems ranging from health services, to public transportation, to subsidized housing, to job placement programs.
I think you are forgetting the commute isn't the only trip you take. outside commute hours transit schedules and coverage leave a lot to be desired. People would rather pay extra to have a car and be able to range all over the place on their own schedule, than wait 30 minutes for a Sunday frequency bus to show up at a grocery store assuming you can even land a grocery store on a single convenient bus line to your home without having to transfer and potentially wait another long headway. You are doing all of this exposed to the elements and limited to what you can physically schlep about. Clearly people are paid enough to afford this convenience as costly as it is. If they weren't paid enough to afford a car transit (and bike) use in nyc would probably be as high as somewhere in southeast asia where cars are out of reach for most people's wages.
The funny thing they were supposed to provide more equitible and fair decisions in issuing loans, but the exact opposite happened.

Neither does a trivial variation of CSV where quotes are not special and commas must be escaped in whatever way. The separator is completely immaterial, the resulting format is identical.
Up until the ACA, political platforms were accomplished by passing legislation. There was always ambiguity in that legislation to be resolved by courts, and nothing in today’s decision changes that. But prior to Obama’s administration, it was really rare the agencies would enforce policies with no basis in the law whatsoever.

That’s what Chevron deference is about. There is no law on the books that gives the FTC authorization to ban non-competes. They just argued that it kinda-sorta fell within the scope of their expertise and did it.

That is by and large how the government has been run for the last decade and a half. It is not how the government has run for most of the last 100 years as you claim. Most of that time period the agencies stuck to the letter of the law, only deviating in rare circumstances.
you can read in my other response but the short answer is: post a bond equal to X weeks salary to vote, bond is held for duration of those elected people's time and if they run a deficit the first hit comes off the posted bond before the country starts taking on debt. If you want to vote again next time post more money to top yourself up.
> build more homes mainly

Having effective and readily available mental health programs is a more critical step IMHO.
Citing a prior ruling that contains more precedence around the idea that federal agencies should have the right to interpret and enforce regulations is an interesting way to argue that it's a controversial topic. You cite a link that explicitly talks about deference and then claim that the concept didn't exist until 40 years later.

I'm also unsure how the political makeup of the court 80 years ago has anything to do with whether or not the court is more political now than ever, particularly in reference to something that actually is controversial - a justice and his family receiving significant compensation from politically motivated companies, including those that have a vested interest in decisions that he refuses to recuse himself from.
Today’s decision isn’t striking down the concept of regulatory agencies.
ISO 8859-1 did not exist back then.

Edit: Its 1983 predecessor that added accented characters was made for the VT220, and it used a buffer of 8 bit character codes, no way to combine.

Edit 2: I made an error before, the naked accents were not in the predecessor, they were even newer.
