I've had relationships where I just liked spending time with the person, even when just sitting and not talking, but I've also sat around on my phone not talking to people, and it's not at all the same. When you're on your phone, you're in your own little world trying to ignore everyone. When you're such close friends with someone that you even like sitting around and not talking, it's because you want to spend time with them so much that you want to just be around them even if there's no real "excuse" to hang out.

The problem with the government is that the internet breaks assumptions that the government really doesn't want to break.

Let's take court cases as an example. Imagine your jurisdiction always let people look up cases that they had a case number for, but didn't let them search for all cases involving a specific person to protect the innocent. This worked fine when looking up a case involved taking a trip to the court, scheduling an appointment, giving the case number to an employee and waiting the for the documents to be brought into the reading room.

Then, somebody got the bright idea to move all that to the internet, making life easier for both the people who needed access to cases and the employees who used to provide it. There's one problem, however, a computer system won't stop an unsavory company from the Maldives from querying all the case numbers and building an index of all the cases and their participants, letting people search for all cases involving a specific person, something which the government specifically wanted to avoid. Captchas are the only real way to stop this.

...three flight controllers ... two different sets of sensors ... independently compute the desired actions to take, and vote on what to do. Each ... has its own power source, backup battery, networking hardware, and set of critical sensors.

You didn't mention activators. Do all the redundant components you mentioned connect to a single voting system, and single set of actuators? How do you avoid your voting system and actuators being another single point of failure?

Or does each redundant system have it's own set of actuators, and enough of them to tolerate failure of one set? (e.g. three sets sized such that two working ones can overpower one erroneous one)

> very little comedy is truly timeless

This depends almost entirely on the type of comedy. Things like reference, satire, or shock are obviously dependent on the specific context of time in which they were made and of course become less meaningful as times change.

But comedy is not inherently less "timeless" than any other art. Who's on First is genuinely still funny almost a century later.

The little bits of surviving ancient comedy may seem trite but being simple does not make the jokes less "timeless".

I think that was his point. To calculate if you are going to stall in a final, you need to know your weight and flap setting to see if you will exceed the critical angle of attack when doing the turn, exactly because the speed isn’t constant.
I recommend trying out Quiche Browser on iOS, or Orion from Kagi- both will support Kagi as a search option. Spotlight search still goes to Google, but I find that acceptable.

Nothing is ever going to happen. Google, Apple etc are the US's international economic arm that ensures competing countries never develop a threatening IT sector. They're very happy to let any foreign startup be gobbled up, for example. Negative consequences on the domestic market are just an unfortunate byproduct.
This is not really true. The about:config flag you mentioned does add a button in the Settings page allowing the addition of custom search engines, but that's only because the intended method for adding search engines is different. The normal way doesn't require setting anything in about:config, but it might be a little hidden (still found it on my own though, so I dunno).

The regular way is to visit the homepage for the search engine you want to add and click the URL bar. This will show the usual search drop-down with the "This time, search with:" row at the bottom. If you're on the homepage for a search engine which hasn't been added to Firefox, there will be an additional button on that row allowing you to add the site as a search engine, which will make it accessible from the regular settings page like every other search engine.
Also... the definition of the Python language changes every two years so older examples will eventually not work with modern implementations of the language.

How hot does it get where you live?

In Texas no one I know has ever had their tomatoes survive into August. Blight and the heat kill the plants usually by mid July. You can plant new ones around this time for a fall harvest if you want, but most home gardeners I talk to are pretty burnt out by this time of the season. The heat contributes to that too I'm sure :-)

As a reformed bee-keeper, I've come to understand that it is the native pollinators that really matter. Monarchs and other native pollinators do most of the work. Except in exceptional (and artificial) situations (like almonds in Ca), domesticate bees mostly get in the way.

However, I will add all the "helpful pest control contractors" who want to kill every insect on my property probably don't help.
Not who you replied to, but we do this with our kids. The only things are you need are a milkweed patch (there are many varieties besides the big ugly broad-leaf ones you see everywhere) and and a mesh enclosure off Amazon for a few bucks. The process is:

You go out, look for the tiny eggs on the milkweed, bring the milkweed leaves in, wait for them to hatch, and bring in fresh milkweed leaves for food once a day. We put them in a paper-towel-lined baking pan so that they have something soft to crawl on if they wander off to taste-test new leaf. They start out rather tiny and grow to into big fat caterpillars. Eventually they stop eating to go on walkabout and anchor themselves somewhere near the top of the enclosure. (Sometimes they are dumb and you have to relocate them with pins or tape.) Once they emerge as butterflies, set them free.

We do black swallowtails too. They like dill and parsely.

We never get tired of it. We have had 20-something butterflies at a time in a 2-sqft enclosure.
Explain the disconnect please.

When you are young, saving anything, even $50-100 monthly ends up being significant for retirement. If you can get employer matching, it's even better.

Then, over a 40+ year career, you are wanting me to believe/accept that it isn't the individual's fault they are still living paycheck to paycheck and cannot save for retirement? Like I said, you have to try to not save at that point in your career. I don't know of a single career that earns a paycheck but doesn't offer retirement plans... I know lots of jobs that don't, but not careers. People working jobs for 40+ years are indeed messing up...

Saving for retirement is perhaps the easiest financial thing you will ever do. It requires filing out a form for your employer, and then you can forget about it if you want.

Instead, some people want to act helpless and then expect others to carry them in retirement. Seems fair...

Regardless it's a growing and worrying trend. Especially as they target and exploit the most vulnerable like mobile home parks and nursing homes.

At first glance, the core counts appear competitive, but of course, comparing Intel "E cores" to "cores" is not at all fair. The comment made me curious about performance though.

Here is an example of the 144 "E"core Sierra Forest matching performance of the 60 core Sapphire Rapids 8490H in the phoronix benchmark suite:
https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-xeon-6700e-ampere-altr...

Sierra Forest does better if perf/watt (or energy consumed per run) is the metric, but still loses to the 64 core Epyc Siena in those same benchmarks.

I would guess there are some very efficiently parallel workloads where tons of "E" cores win in performance, but the current Intel CPUs do not seem to be competitive in my non-expert opinion.
I do believe that’s a factor (and mentioned it further down) but there are shockingly few companies that build planes.

The regulatory cost is amortized over the number of planes built. If people bought planes the way they buy cars, they’d cost far less. Hence the chicken/egg problem I mentioned.
Tech is changing- where are we going?
It’s an exclusive deal that prevents anyone else from offering a similar deal. Of course it reduces competition. The only question is whether it also violates the monopoly law.

I’d encourage you to read the decision, I just pulled two paragraphs from a pretty exhaustive document.
I saw a cargo flight going from LAX to Ontario, California which looks like ~80km/50mi distance, which seems crazy to me.

I don't live in Europe, but I was there earlier this year going from Amsterdam to Paris. That's 430km/260mi direct from what I can find. I took the train, it took 3.5 hours, direct from central Amsterdam to central Paris, and no security theatre. And I had leg room!

In the 1980s, I once boarded a Republic flight from Detroit to Houston. Unfortunately, the flight I paid for from Detroit to Houston was a different (and direct) one.

In Detroit, there was confusion on the plane as someone else had the same seat assignment but they found me another seat. They finally figured out I was on the wrong plane when we landed in Memphis. I was bounced off a full flight and had to wait 8 hours for the next plane to Houston.

Only one of the flight attendants seemed to pay attention to the flight number on my boarding pass.

I was also on a flight once to San Jose, California that had a passenger who was supposed to go to San Jose, Costa Rica.

If you are new make sure to contact your local beekeeper club (if available) to learn about bee diseases. From parasites like varroa mites, to fungi, to viruses: They can get really sick and if you accidentally produce an unhealthy hive it can be bad for other hives nearby.

I get the idea... but what happens when a pitot tube is blocked or an aoa sensor gets stuck or ... ?

With "traditional" controls and an autopilot failure, you still have control over all the control surfaces.

With your solution, you don't have enough hand axis to fall back to manual flying? How can the computer possibly guarantee safe flight in all conditions?

In the case of an e.g. air speed sensor failure, how do you get on the ground safely? Is the answer "Just BRS"? Or multiple sensors etc. ?

UNIX and the C programming language were first released before the agreement but continued to be worked on by the labs after the agreement was signed and took force. C++ had it's first commercial release in 1985 (agreement took force in 1985). Fiber optic transmission which powers the Internet also came from those labs. DSL technology is another one you might have heard of.

This reminded me of a previous time where I asked Claude what a confusing message meant and it told me it was a scam. Sure enough, it catches this one too (prompt is just "should this be priority, Y or N"):

N

This email should not be classified as priority. It appears to be a phishing attempt or scam email disguised as a Microsoft Office 365 renewal notice. There are several red flags:

1. The renewal date is far in the future (Aug 4th 2024), which is unusual for a legitimate renewal notice.

2. The phone number provided is not an official Microsoft support number.

3. The email lacks official Microsoft branding and formatting.

4. It creates a sense of urgency to get the user to click on a suspicious button or call an unverified number.

Users should be cautious of such emails and verify their subscription status directly through their official Microsoft account rather than responding to unsolicited emails.
Whoever is downvoting this: Stop. It's the key point here. Planes don't need to know their weight to produce a stall warning; AoA is a great metric, and GA planes not having an indicator or warning based on it is astonishing.

I figured this comment would get me in trouble :)

I recommend doing some instrument lessons if you haven't already. When I got my instrument rating I questioned whether the private requirements are actually enough. The skills that the instrument rating teaches in terms of preparation, workload management, and emergency weather scenarios make me question whether I was really ready to fly before I had it.

With the private or sport license you'll be fine in the majority of cases. I think my comment comes more from the edge and corner cases that more skills and experience help with, not your ability to work in the system at all.
I think it's a question of public support, political will, and stamina.

People think of freeways as vital, so it's ok if I-69 through southern Indiana takes over 30 years from initial studies to completion.

The ease of obtaining such sounds on the cheap makes it difficult to appreciate just how cutting-edge those sounds were in Kraftwerk’s time. Making electronic drums sound good requires a lot of processing, and they did all of that with analog equipment before we even had a complete idea of how electronic drums “should” sound. And that raises the bar for today’s musicians — doing “Kraftwerk” today requires pushing boundaries like they did, not just making the same sounds.
Sounds to me like you are looking for an artificial solution to a made up problem.

There will never be a magic pill or magic “mind shift” that will just make you enjoy whatever path you take.
Yep, and that's one of many parts of the supply issues in California. We bought our house 25 years ago. The house right next door is half the size of ours and just sold. Their property tax will be ~3x what ours is.

We might consider moving to a looser market, and therefore opening up one more house in a tight market, but we're retired and a large increase in property tax (plus potentially larger increases every year if it's outside California) is a serious disincentive for us.

Prop 13 is friction that resists the smoothing out of conditions across regions. It reduces market efficiency.

p.s. - It doesn't help the housing situation that we have access to incredible natural features all around us, but that's more about California's demand side.
Reminds me of some scenes from the first book of the three body problem.
I think that you are too naively wrong on this.

The wording of Google is very very ambiguous there avoid to say that they are sending it but says that they are encrypting your credentials so that Google can't know it.

I have found the following page that gives more details:

https://community.spiceworks.com/t/is-google-chromes-passwor...

So if what it says is true, they don't exactly send your password, but still quite a lot of data about your credentials, in addition with the fact that you are trying to connect to a website based on the fact that you are doing the request at this exact moment.

Again, in theory I don't have a problem with them providing that kind of service. Just not to suddenly enable it for users in secret, hide very well the way to disable that, and especially when you asked Google to not manage your passwords.

A good question to ask is why the option to disable that is not located near the parameters for password and password management in the browser?
yes I should have mentioned actuators as well. the actuators are internally redundant in terms of computation and power and will fail silent and not move if they disagree. Then, each control axis has 2 sets of these servos.

I say axis, rather than control surface, because for something like ailerons, we can have one go neutral in a fault case and the aileron on the other wing still operates with some reduced control authority. So even though each aileron has
one servo, the roll axis has 2 and it maintains redundancy
