If REM and U2 are your big bands, we're in the same generation, and my high school classmates today are sending pictures from Rolling Stones concerts they're going to on Insta. I'm not saying I like the Rolling Stones more (though: I probably like them more than U2).

I listen to Murmur like every other week. I listen to a Rolling Stones album every other decade. I listen to The Stone Roses more than the Stones. I'm not advocating for Mick Jagger, I'm just saying, he's more relevant to the culture than Michael Stipe.

It feels inappropriate that progressives have decided that it's okay to use Nazi as a generic insult for mainstream right wing parties. It waters down the true horrors of the Nazi party.

Sorry, but I think that statement is an incorrect perception that you're falling victim to due to a statistical blip in high publicity aircraft incidents in the last ~2 months.

We live in the safest era of commercial airline travel in history. The rate of serious aircraft accidents is so low that safety researchers almost don't have real life incidents to study for new issues to fix. That is why the recent few incidents seem like such an anomaly.

Certain things still need to be improved of course, and the DCA crash brings to attention ATC staffing, etc. But to say that you're sick and tired of aircraft incidents like they're happening every month is a bit ridiculous.

> I'd say, my own emotions aside, she made a pragmatic mistake here - first delivering a quite powerful bomb that she explicitly acknowledges we need to trust her about (as it's an excerpt of a private conversation, not possible to independently verify), only to tell us - also explicitly - that the video was sponsored by a company. This is the kind of stuff you find in late-stage capitalism jokes, or movies about corporate utopia where this juxtaposition is exaggerated for effect. I did not see it coming, and I struggle to understand why it did.

I agree here. I would say historically this was a more common view. What I observe is that more people are disregarding this and it is in part due to feedback loops between the very large audiences that web platforms provide today and the creator. If you message connects with a large enough group of people with enough loyalty/trust(that say weird sponsor messages do not effect there viewership) you can safely disregard the rest of audience to a large degree. Delivering with emotions, "delivering a quite powerful bomb"s, etc help build that loyal group of followers but also lead to a feedback cycle that can make things more one side/hyperbolic/etc.

This has a knock on effect in people, at least those like me, who now devalue many similar emotional pleas without evidence for both good and ill. After all if people are incentivized to be delivering impassioned speeches and "bomb"s, statistically there are going to be more people who do so inappropriately, sometimes it seems somewhat normalized just due to how much I see it. To me the message she delivered had little to no impact on me because it was not delivered with either reasonable evidence or at least a start of a plan or solution to the issue she is describing. This knock on effect just makes things worst to some extent though since creators already in that feedback loop have even less incentive to reach out to someone like me because they have to overcome the additional barrier, and would not when the same level of loyalty even if they did.

> But if I'm right, then this is directly on-topic and I believe it's right to bring it up, to the extent the creator/speaker is asking the audience to take them on trust. Aka. on authority. Which means it applies doubly so to the experts - their choice of what and how they advertise matters more, because they're lending their credibility to both the message and the ad that pays for it.

I agree it is on topic and relevant, but it did not register to me at all in this video because the trust was lost when there was only the impassioned deliver without hard evidence or an action plan to help address the issue. It likely also does not register to those in the loyal impassioned group of followers either.

Independent of potential regulation, creating more high trust, potentially collaborative, sources of information seems like like a partial way to counter balance some of this.
Thanks. This seems like any change would take months, if not years, to play out. That's why I wasn't quite following the logic of _recent_ cuts having such an immediate impact.

The problem is for sure much deeper: chronic underfunding meets up with a surge in demand. That is the story of the National Parks since 2020.

When I visited Glacier in 2019, rangers there told me the park was nearly at capacity. The parking lot at Logan Pass was full by 8am every day. They were hoping to convert Going To The Sun Road to bus-only, the way Zion did. But I took the bus one day and the wait was over an hour. Not enough buses and not enough drivers. And that was before the post-COVID surge in visitors.

Or institute a mandatory reservation system, the way RMNP did. I used the reservation system at RMNP in 2023 and it worked fine. But even with reservations, the parking lot at Bear Lake was full before 7:30am on weekdays. Yosemite had a reservation system last summer… they cancelled for this year. It takes more staff to run.

The operational capacity of NPS was already in the red in popular parks; reducing staff in a haphazard way right now is not a smart solution to the well-known problems the parks are facing. It’s one of many hints that the team up top might be more interested in saying “we did something!” than actually understanding and addressing challenges.

You're right about traffic being crucial. MVP-It saves you time by having everything ready in one platform - no need to cobble together different tools for your landing page, analytics, and feedback collection.

Then it's up to you to run the outreach: finding potential users on X, Reddit, or relevant communities and sharing your landing page with them. This targeted approach often works better than ads for validation.
> so poor regulation could possibly be implicated.

This has to be one of the dumbest takes out there. Try to work out what could have been cut on the US regulation side that would have caused a crash in Canada such a short time later.

Do you think maybe delta just stopped following the law and let some children fly the plane? Or maybe decided to stop doing maintenance?

Seriously, what is the model here that makes any sense at all?
The field has had 40 years of maturing. Experimentation on QC started in the 1980's. At what point are we going to be factoring numbers or (more realistically) simulating chemical interactions?

Real progress in this field is very easy to measure. It's based on number of effective qbits of computation. That is just a metric where QC is failing to deliver so badly that everyone in the field wants to deny its existence.

Unfortunately, the level of investment in QC is very much outsized compared to the level of progress. These things should rise at the same time. More promising areas of science can get the investment that is otherwise being sucked into QC.

> Having an effect outside the research community is essentially a Heaviside function.

This is something that people like to say but is never true. Impact on the outside world for new technologies is almost always a sigmoid function, not a heavyside function. You should see some residual beneficial effects at the leading edge if you have something real.

None of that maintenance regulation went away with the cuts and even if airlines started to cut corners on maintenance under the assumption they could get away with it, it’s not going to show up 2 days later.

Implicating the recent cuts for this crash makes absolutely no sense.

Again, and tediously, with my rule of thumb about privacy technology guides:

Here's a concrete example: Let's say your friend just told you they moved their communications from SMS to Signal. This is something to celebrate! Your friend just improved their data privacy a lot by deciding to start using Signal instead of SMS. It is absolutely not the time to tell your friend things like "Okay, but you're not even using Firefox!

If a privacy source suggests that Firefox is an absolute improvement over other browsers without actually laying out the security tradeoffs you'd be making by adopting it, you should trust that source less.

I would personally go much farther with this analysis; I have categorical opinions about the relative security of browsers. But you don't have to follow me that far down the path to see the merit of the rule, because if you think "just use Firefox" is an uncomplicatedly strong recommendation, you're simply not paying attention to browser security at all, in which case: why are you making recommendations?

Most privacy and security guides are LARPs.

If you said between every two reals there's one rational (and between every two rational there's one real), I'd assume you meant exactly one (i.e. in the conversational sense), and then there's an equal number of them. But you said at least one, so it could be two or three, so now I'm not sure. And if there are infinitely many of them... but infinity is not even a number, so who knows?!
It's probably preferable to have the wing break off than for it to apply sufficient stress to the fuselage that the fuselage disintegrates - you're going to lose the wing either way and if you're in the air that's going to be bad, but if you're on or near the ground it's probably preferable to have an intact fuselage?

That's actually exactly what the author of NES86 did at first: he ported Lunix to the NES - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVqN_FixG0M (repo https://github.com/decrazyo/lng-fds).

But then he received a lot of comments saying that it's not real Linux, so he made NES86 to run ELKS and made another video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OooHTDMUSGY. It's a bit funny since ELKS does not consider itself Linux anymore, just a "Linux-like OS", so maybe we'll have a third iteration of this project eventually ;)

I genuinely do have at least one memory from the age of two, because it was a completely banal event that no one told stories about (my grandmother moved to a new office, lol), nor certainly photographed, that I (because I remembered it) assumed had taken place when I was three. Turns out (crowd-sourced family chronology agreed, and documentary proof later corroborated) took place either 5 or 6 months after I turned two. (Memories differed as to the exact month, and the earliest letter we had was from the corroboratory year, but from a couple of months after when she would have moved.)

The matter came up because some time when I was in my twenties I said, apro pos of something or other, "[grandma] moved to [office] in year X", and they said "No, it was year X-1", and I said "well how come I remember [mundane sense-memory detail], if I was only two?" And they said, "yeah, [detail] is correct, but it was definitely year X-1", rinse-repeat, until they set out to prove me wrong about the year, which it turned out I was, which was a win for them, but then both I and my aunt with PhD in child-development were forced to conclude that I had a memory from when I was two.

Yeah. It blew my mind, too. I didn't think human memory worked like that, either.

Per the referenced link, of the 35 serious incidents between 1983 and 2017, there were 3,823 aircraft occupants. In that group, if you either survived or died from smoke/fire, there is a 7.2% chance you died from smoke/fire.

I can't fine tune that number to determine you survived the crash, but then died from smoke or fire, since it did not easily differentiate pre-crash and post-crash fires.

I am not sure I would agree or disagree that it is usual to die from smoke inhalation after surviving a plane crash given the reason that people took too long to evacuate. It just feels like the upper limit of how many people die that way can't be that large since many of those smoke/fire deaths would not be attributable to that cause.

There absolutely are cameras recording the entire airport surface. The people in charge of them don't usually have "I should post this to the internet" as their first thought. Some airports do stream them though.
Smaller planes fly more often, and there's a lot more of them, so statistically they're more likely to be involved in any incident.

The DC collision was an accident waiting to happen, but that airport only serves single-aisle jets and runway 33 can only be used by the smallest of those - like the CRJ and Embraer model.

And in this case, it remains to be seen what caused the unexpected roll.
This is from a few years back, but etched in my memory. I am an introvert in social situations. I can present to a room, sorta, and I can manage public speech with some prep, but I just listen when there is a party going on. No talk, no intervention on jokes, just listen. My brain just works too slow to butt in to people's conversation, and over time you get the tag of introvert or whatever. I can understand conversation well, but I need an extra second to respond and that does not fit into most conversations.

But then a few years back, we had a sendoff for a colleague, a bunch of us got together, and right across from me, or adjacent, was another colleague who was sci fi fan. We had discussed some series before in office, and this was an opportunity to continue. Bit by bit our conversation went deep, and at one point of time I recall a pointed comment from the host (the person who organized the sendoff), hey what happened to kshacker :) because I think we were talking loud and non-stop. And I realized that too, it was an unusual setup.

Since then, I left the team, that dude left the company, so I havent seen him for a few years, this was definitely pre-covid, but this discussion somehow made me think of a 2% moment, if not a 2%er.
You raise good points about the tradeoffs! Pushlytic is designed for different use cases than APNS - it's for real-time data streaming when your app is active.

For background notifications, APNS/FCM are absolutely the right tools. I'd recommend using both: APNS for background notifications to bring users back to your app, and Pushlytic for real-time data streaming while they're actively using it.

The battery impact is minimized since the SDK use gRPC, but you're right that any persistent connection will have some battery cost. That's why the library tries to handle connection management carefully - the connection will close when the app is backgrounded and reopen upon foregrounding. You can also close the stream at any point.
