This sounds to me like a case of fundamental attribution bias. We have no idea what was going through his head at the time. We're all human, and we all make mistakes sometimes. It's easy to just assume that the pilot is an incompetent decision maker, but it's way more likely that he or she just overreacted (or maybe wasn't given all the data needed to make a good decision)

"Wygrałoś" (You-neutral have won) is made from "wygrało" (It have won) in the same way "wygrałaś"(You-female have won) is made from "wygrała"(She have won), or "Wygrałeś"(You-male have won) is made from "wygrał"(he have won). In Polish kid is neutral gender, so you theorethically could use "wygrałoś" when speaking with a kid. But nobody uses that, so it sounds strange ven for native speakers. I don't remember ever hearing it.
I agree that it is my responsibility, I've choosen to handle it by saying "No" in most cases. But I'm a bit of an appaholic -- I download new apps all of the time, and don't have the time to figure out what chatter a particular app is going to bother me with.

I'm on my work Windows 7 laptop right now, and I've been bothered by the following since 7:30 when I came in:

- SCCM has some updates for me that must be installed in 7 days

- AV is slowing down my computer, for my safety.

- Some printer is unavailable

People at home get bombarded with Java, Adobe, and other apps whining about updates or whatever. Microsoft recognized this as a serious enough problem that it basically hides most toolbar icons automatically. (I have 19 on the work laptop, with 4 visible)

If houses cost 100-200K where I lived (NY area), a 75K income would be fine. My friend circle is getting decimated as friends are moving south :(

My wife and I have considered moving back to the Bay area (professional growth and general quality of life) but likely won't because of housing costs (I don't think buying a starter home for 600K in Sunnyvale is a responsible thing for us to do).

I can't speak for Verizon, but in Canada I know we're looking at Carrier grade NAT since Cellular is requiring additional IP space and is still a massive growth area.

We already use NAT for cellular users, but as the network grows, public IP space is still needed for network equipment, for the NAT gateways, etc.
The author mentions a bunch of programs that offer similar functionality but states that "the way they're designed doesn't work for me." I'd be curious what about them doesn't work.

I use TotalFinder primarily for this functionality, and their split-pane looks almost identical to what he has set up in the screenshot, with the added benefit that it is more efficient (e.g. you can move the window around and resize it and the panes stay together, you can adjust the size of each pane relative to the other just by dragging the single middle bar, etc.).

This Week in Type #8 
Well, well, if it isn’t Friday again, sneaking up on us with its expectant look, like a preview to the weekend. But what happened this week? Let’s see! Typographically speaking, it happened that we came across plenty of inspiring new projects. Airports started appreciating embroidered typography, while experiments in texture and typography left us in awe. Typography-based designs are no breaking news, but we’re still excited when we come across smart examples. Let’s not forget fossilized typography, dishonest typography and other alphabets. Well, you’ll see what we’re talking about. Read on!

I'm pretty sure the exchange price of Bitcoins is driven by the marginal supply and demand. So I think it's got to be what you call "investors" almost entirely (note that not all people buying in have to be speculators: if lots of people suddenly decided they'd rather have some Bitcoins because they want to use them, that would suffice).

So the question is how are the marginal supply and demand determined? The marginal demand is subject to spikes in interest, media coverage, the Cyprus crisis (I really doubt the latter is meaningful but perhaps it makes people everywhere think they want to move out of bank deposits. People certainly attribute things to it). The marginal supply is based on (1) mining, which happens at a fixed rate and (2) people who wish to exit Bitcoin, which is subject to lots of whims.

Lots of evidence shows that most Bitcoins are hoarded, so it's possible that what we see is just a supply crunch - nobody wants to sell their Bitcoins and some people want to buy. I suppose the natural way to answer that is to go look at historical exchange volume across all the exchanges (or, as a first-cut proxy, just Mt. Gox).

Yes, if you pick 4 attributes (almost any attributes) then they'll correlate to something.

Myers-Briggs tends to emphasise classification, which implies bimodal distributions. In reality, the traits it measures are more normally distributed.

Also, every attribute but introversion seems pretty meaningless. If it were a scientific model, the traits would be open to debate. But people treat it like an astrology chart that's been handed down through the ages. It's not the initial attempt at creating a framework which I'm critical of, but the way it's so uncritically accepted.

Well it does not _really_ change the polarity.

Think about it this way:

You have two cards(A and B) - you and your friend pick one randomly. Until you look at yours, it's both A and B at the same time. It's the same with your friend's card. So you both own cards that are in a "mixed" A/B state.
And then, when you and your friend look at them, the state is "decided".

Therefore, you could send your friend and his card on a rocket million years away from Earth, and then look at the card. Then,you can tell with 100% guarantee which card your friend has. Is that information useful? No,not really. You were able to instantaneously find out the state of an object millions of light years away,but you can't use it to communicate.

Meatpacking remains labor intensive in a way that other forms of large-scale farming are not.

Even if there was labor parity, they're not usually done in the same places. Meatpacking is usually done near transportation hubs, and ranching is usually on land that's not suitable for agricultural purposes.
Per-route monopolies. It is clear what was meant.
Or was it collaboration in defense of their self-interest? After WWII Europe was in ruin, the USA and USSR had taken over as the world powers, and the sentiment "never again" clearly had not proven to strong enough in the past. Making the same mistakes as after WWI was not an option this time.

Furthermore, Western Europe found in the USSR a common and real enemy. As Germany was divided into four (later two) parts, the power balance between France and Germany favored France at that time. That allowed for the idea of a collaboration that would connect the re-development of Germany to the development of Western-Europe as a whole. As a result, so hoped the Europeanists, France and Germany would become co-dependent to that extent that a military solution would not be in the interest of either country. To keep that balance, however, neither country could afford to annex some of the smaller countries. That would make the European idea attractive to these smaller countries.

All idealism aside, all this can be explained from a Realpolitiker point of view.

PS It has been a while I since studied International Relations and Modern History, however, so take the above more as informed speculation than historical analysis.

Yeah, airlines have the inverse problem.

They are in a perfectly competitive environment which has driven industry profits extremely low which forces them to do everything as cheaply as possible.

The airline industry is the furthest you can be from a monopoly.

[added] of course there are other industries who are more commodity like real commodities, but air lines are the text book example (literally, not figuratively) for non-monopolistic competition. While the barriers appear high, they really aren't if you have the capital. If the airlines were profitable, almost anyone could get the capital to start one. In fact, upstart airlines appear consistently even though almost none of them make any money.

You're reading an awful lot into this that the article never claimed.

Nowhere is it claimed that they asked to "talk to the captain" much less that any "demanding to see the pilot" occurred.

From the source [1]:

---

"We asked if the captain has the authority to address this issue, but received no response. A few minutes later we asked for the captain's name (I failed to make note when he welcomed us on the PA system), and was told, by the purser, that we will have to ask him ourselves when we disembark.

Throughout these interactions the atmosphere was collegial, no voices were raised and no threats, implicit or explicit, of any kind were made. The flight continued without incident, while my wife and I engaged our children to divert their attention from the horrific scenes on the movie screens."

This is not meant to defend cruel people, I just want to raise a few points about farms.

While I have only been to small farms, I have definitely seen what some people would consider animal cruelty. But I think it's important to understand the mentality of people that work with these animals.

Animals on farms are seen as property, not a pet in any way. Most owners and workers of animals distance themselves from the animals to keep themselves mentally healthy as they will be putting these animals to slaughter to sell or eat. When distance yourself from an animal, you won't be treating it as nicely as you would your family dog.

When talking about farm help, they may hold a grudge against the animals they are working with. A friend would work his uncle's farm every saturday to help clean up after the pigs. His job was basically shoveling pig poop for 8 hours (or other equally not-fun jobs). It would take a day before he smelled normal again. Doing this kind of work can make some people resentful of the animals they work with.

Farmers and farm help see animals as money, so they won't do anything that could jeopardize being paid (won't damage the product).

When people are disconnected with the animals they are working with, it is easier for some people not to be so nice to those animals. This isn't to say that all people working with animals will be abusive towards them, but it creates an opening for those people that aren't as nice to take their anger out on the animals.

Many city-pairs are monopolistic because of the gate ownership and industry consolidation. Minneapolis was the poster child for this for many years -- you basically had to fly Northwest to go there.

Back in the pre-Reagan era, regulation forced airlines to maintain specific prices and deliver a certain level of service (think Bell System type regulation). Deregulation brought low cost carriers like Southwest, but also allowed the traditional carriers to engage in a price war that ultimately put most of the industry out of business and brought much misery to the flying public.

Can one not be "introverted" when he wants to be alone, and "extraverted" when he wants company?

Even more than arbitrarily defining human beings into categories that don't necessarily have a scientific basis in reality, the "introvert/extravert" paradigm is one of several that negates the concept of free will, that we, as humans, ultimately have control over our own actions.
Directly from the article:

"In one incident (scroll down to find it) a family traveling from Denver to Baltimore with two sons, aged 4 and 8, asked if a monitor showing “Alex Cross,” which features some violent scenes, could be turned off or retracted, and was told no. They asked if the captain might be consulted. To do that, they were told, they’d have to wait until the plane landed. Then:"

[Added in response to comments below]
Critical reading lesson here, if you look at the quote from the article you will notice that it says "they were told, they’d have to wait until the plane landed." That is how you know they were asking to see the captain without it explicitly saying, "They demanded to see the captain."

I think it is pretty obvious that the article is sensational and is lacking the information to fill in the gap on why they diverted and had this guy taken off the plane. His request over the movie is ridiculous but his request to see the captain or have the flight attendant talk to the captain about it is completely ridiculous.

At the very least, he asked the flight attendant to have a conversation with the guy flying the plane about a movie being shown in the back of the plane. On what planet is that a reasonable request???

[also added] I shouldn't have made the critical reading quip, that was rude of me. That being said, we must assume that the author who wrote the article had the facts when he wrote it. If not, we can't rely on any piece of the article at all. At the very least, everyone can agree that the article does not have the full story. I hope we can also agree that it is likely sensationalized. We may not be able to agree that he asked to speak with the captain, but we should be able to agree that he did ask the flight attendant to speak with a pilot at the very least.

Additionally, I hope we can all agree that asking the flight attendant to speak with the captain about a movie playing is an unreasonable request. Even more so, we can agree that diverting the plane for a person not getting up from their seat and not yelling or making threats is probably the wrong decision.

One thing we don't know though, is whether he was up from his seat. If he was standing in the flight bridge asking to speak to the captain, that would make this situation much different than if he were sitting in his seat.

My West Highland Terrier is nearly 2 years old. We got him at 8 weeks and the first 6 months he took over our lives. When a pup he needed to go outside every hour, on the hour, 24 hours a day. Once he got past that stage it was time for puppy classes and training and constantly making sure he was behaving etc. We were exhausted for 6 months and this was the first 6 months of founding http://www.radfan.com. Now he is older he still needs lot of walking, playing with and generally looking after BUT I wouldn't have it any other way.

He is awesome, every day is the best day in the world for him. He's great to have around during the day and taking him for a walk and playing with him are the highlights of our day. He makes us laugh, he gives us something else to focus on apart from work and best of all he is free entertainment (if you exclude pet insurance, food and toys).

When you buy a puppy you are buying the potential of what that dog could be, it is down to you to train and instil the correct behaviours in him. I think dog training (done correctly, clicker training with treats and positive renforcement) aligns very well with a technical/science mindset as I have found it really fun trying to debug why my dog does X when he should do Y and how to modify that in some way.

If you can, adopt a dog though. It's rubbish that old dogs can't learn new tricks and so many dogs need new homes and more often than not, even with the most disobedient dog you can still skip the house training bit as that tends to be sorted unless they have had a horrific start in life.

When I first broke into the realm of professional computer programming, after graduation in the late 80s with a Computer Science degree, the teams I worked on were populated with just as many, if not more, women than men.

In total contrast to a Ruby conference I volunteered to help out a few years where the only woman in the conference presence was the SO of the conference founder.

Can only speculate on the sociological reasons for this shift, other than toss a personal observation that comparatively, it seems men were the more geeked out, enamored with technology than women who seemed to hold a more pragmatic outlook and confined "work" to working hours only.

> ""Businessmen" range from pure money grubbers who will do whatever makes the most, to people who are in business simply because the thing they want to build can only be embodied as a business."

True - but I don't think it's necessarily quite so polarized in this case. When Musk went off and screamed fraud at the New York Times for their review, one can reasonably explain it away as a passionate man protecting his dream company - an example of being on the latter end of the spectrum.

This is a bit different - and I think this Tesla financing brouhaha is proving that Musk has more of the former in him than we'd like to admit.

I for one am a bit disillusioned. We have heard the conveniently woven story many times - passionate individual starts a company to change the world for the better - but that's always overly simplistic. While I wouldn't describe Musk as a pure money grubber, I honestly do not believe Musk is as far down that spectrum as popularly believed.
