Source for any of this? The notion of Canada accepting the plane on looser conditions than FAA is laughable.

You claim 1 is debunked but you’re replying to a quote from GP indicating Canada will accept the plane as per 1?

If you can back up the claim that 1 is debunked with a credible source, I suggest shorting Boeing stock because it means the 737 max is a complete failure, the line will likely be killed as it won’t be able to compete with the Neo, and stock price going to plummet through the floor.

Disrupting the control signal doesn’t force a landing. Even on super locked down DJI drones you can program several actions, including continuing a waypoint mission.

Jammers are a moronic idea for this task. They cause an unpredictable response and increase risk.

Excuse me, but what "rare earth minerals" are you talking about? There are none in solar panels

Having read your link 2 and 3, I see they also don't support the point you are making (the first describes how to recycle turbine blades into concrete and is looking for more applications, the second says solar panels are 90% recyclable

The 90% recyclable figure refers to the materials that can be used in low grade applications. The remaining 10% are the rare earth minerals that actually make the panel work and need to be mined.

You’re not talking about recycling, you’re talking about downcycling to a nearly worthless product. It will be cheaper just to send the old panels to landfill. How are these power sources renewable if they are only possible if we keep mining our dwindling natural resources?

Hahaha that actually sounds plausible

Unethical doesn’t ring true for you even as fb faces a multi billion dollar lawsuit over targeted manipulation of individuals in concert with Cambridge Analytica?

You are literally as wrong as it is possible to be wrong.

You don’t see how a gpu accelerated numeric array would speed up ray tracing?

Understood.

I do suggest you seriously benchmark against clickhouse, because where single node performance is concerned, it is the tool to beat outside arcane proprietary stuff like kdb+ and brytlytdb. I have used single-node clickhouse and seen interactive query times where an >10 node spark cluster was recommended by supposed experts.

Clickhouse is not a mainstream tool (and I have discussed its limitations in other threads) but it is certainly rising in popularity, and in my view it comes pretty close to 1st place for general purpose perf short of Google scale datasets.

I upvoted the gp post just so it and your reply can be kept visible.

This dismissive attitude towards the slow but steady incremental erosion of privacy and authoritarian creep terrifies me. It's like people have completely forgotten about not-so-distant history, and are not just tolerating, but welcoming the mechanisms of oppression rolling out once again. In the name of catching a dozen or so criminals - just like every other time in the recorded history of oppressive regimes.

This has all happened before. For centuries. The same dismissive arguments have been used to defend the Gestapo and KGB. If there's a crime, why wouldn't you interrogate the family of everyone who was reported to be near the scene? Why wouldn't you force a confession and tick off the case if none of the leads are working out?

It takes only a few minutes of empirical thought to realize that not every crime must be solved, especially when that doctrine creates an incentive to 'solve' crimes with easy targets rather than the real perpetrator. You hit diminishing returns really hard really fast by investing extra resources into solving crimes with statistically negligible incidence rates. The only entity that stands to benefit is the proto authoritarian regime and its ability to target arbitrary population segments and continue expanding.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. Benjamin Franklin knew better.

The ingest time is due to updating the merge tree. You don't need a merge tree for etl... It's like the worst backing store you could possibly choose. You're also comparing an intentionally horizontally distributed query to a purely vertical one on a single node. You can see just slightly below the same query takes 0.2 seconds on a single node.

I was hoping to see some serious consideration given to these kinds of benchmarks, considering Clickhouse is one of the most cost effective tools I've used in the real world and occasionally outperforms things like mapd.

I was expecting your solution to outperform Clickhouse at least in some aspects, and a benchmark showing where it wins. Instead you reveal ignorance of Clickhouse and even the benchmarks you linked.

Your comment comes off as incredibly arrogant and at the same time incredibly misinformed. Disappointing to see this attitude from the team.

I mean it has pretty full-featured sql support, so you can probably reproduce your current scenario with it?

How is the data coverage compared to flightradar?

It doesn't. Eye fatigue is caused by being focused on the same depth for prolonged periods of time. That fixed depth being slightly closer or further away changes very little.

Having a habit of regularly looking away from your monitor and focusing on a distant object negates it. When doing prolonged microscopy work, we were trained to take a break every 30 min and focus on something very close, then focus on something far, back and forth, several times.

My bad. HHV != HPV. I have been misreading the OP article.

I'd delete the above if it was within time limit.

Moreover, as the above makes clear, curing HPV is not necessary

There's a body of evidence that HPV might be a factor of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative conditions. If that turns out to be true, curing HPV will be very much necessary.

Between the dwindling Netflix catalog and increasingly hostile subscription service experience on Spotify, I have found myself flying the black flag again. I still have subscriptions to both, but I will be cancelling them this year. I don't want their shitty analytics payloads, I don't want their shitty anti-adblocker tech. I don't want their shitty tactics of deleting random songs off my playlists. I just want the content I paid for.

It's not because I don't want to pay for the content, I'd happily pay 2-3x under the right circumstances. It's because no one wants to take my money and provide the content I want without bundling it with drm, ads, dark patterns, insane region segmentation, and manipulative cross-sell tactics.

Whatever arguments were made about piracy detracting from sales are laughable now. The copyright and ad lobbies are detracting from those sales, piracy is just a symptom of the cancer that they are.

Sonarr + Couchpotato + Plex + Subsonic is somehow a more consumer-friendly experience than their 'legitimate' counterparts. The fact that the premium subscription cost for those services is more than netflix+spotify, and yet people are willing to pay that much for their piracy, that should be pretty telling to any industry analyst.

Anyone who is messing around with convolutional networks is almost guaranteed to have anaconda installed. The convenience of a few less clicks in exchange for platform lock-in is exactly the devi's deal that the 3 major cloud providers have started doing.

Think really hard about the implications of enabling them. Do you want a future where Google® Colab™ is the primary way to work with data, where personal computing is dead and replaced by cloud? That's what they are striving for with this strategy.

I'd encourage everyone not to support colab or any other proprietary lock-in platforms. But do as you will.

Awesome work. Now make it emit keras/tf/torch code!

Is there any similar themed advice for managing same-seniority coworkers handballing their responsibilities?

Would you consider doing this for sony cameras? Shit, open a kickstarter for it and you'll get funded in a few days if the word gets out.

There were some initial promising efforts to build the equivalent of Magic Lantern for sony alpha cameras, but it seems to have quietly died.

The rule has nothing to do with the handedness of the traffic. The rule comes down to 'do not enter an intersection unless you are 100% sure you will clear it before the lights change'. If you enter an intersection so late that it's about to turn red while another car is waiting to turn, you're at fault, not the car in front of you for not turning sooner. The red light transition timing is set to allow one and only one car to exit the intersection before the other side has a green light to enter.

The rule exists to prevent intersections from getting blocked by idiot drivers who enter too late and get stuck, which if not immediately cleared will cause gridlock to begin forming.

I find it a bit hard to believe that such a rule doesn't exist in America.

I'm more often on the hiring side of the table than on the other. Probation periods exist specifically to address the issue of hiring false positives, and they work fine.

Your story is only possible if the interview process failed miserably. If your process sucks and results in a lot of false positives, that's your problem. Don't use it as justification for milking candidates for unpaid work towards actual deliverables.

Imagine being a carpenter applying for a job and being asked to make a small bedside table for free. So the employer can sample your skills before committing to a full purchase.

Absurd.

After all, only drug dealers and people too lazy to lift themselves up to bankable condition need cash. Right?

Even if we accept that line of fallacy, the sum threat of everything that could be done with illegal cash transactions is orders of magnitude smaller than the threat of a cyber attack or natural disaster disabling all exchange of money.

I don't think even the staunchest anti-cash proponents could seriously advocate for building a house of cards out of our monetary system and creating a much bigger problem than what anti-cash purports to solve.

The problem isn't about how difficult it may be to open an account. The problem is that banks become gatekeepers for the ability to exchange legal tender for goods and services.

I could write an entire essay on the problems this causes if cashless business becomes wideapread. But a few highlights include:

* A positive feedback loop will form due to less cash being accepted => less cash circulating => less reason for businesses to accept cash

* Banks able to de-platform individuals and lock them out from access to life necessities

* Governments likewise able to de-platform individuals as a neat new way to oppress dissidents and undesirables

* The telco backbone of a nation becomes a one stop shop for a decapitating attack. Telco is also one of the first utilities to fail during natural disasters

* Impossible to purchase goods/services without it being logged, surveilled, and used to manipulate you with individualised advertising

* Once cash circulation drops below a critical point, opening or operating a business will not be possible without accepting card payments. That's your plumber, the kid who walks your dog, anyone offering any goods/services. Banks are now in control of who can receive money in addition to who can spend it.

* Ditto for p2p transactions

Anything that threatens the universal acceptability of legal tender should be viewed as a national security threat.

Sounds like Catholicism with extra steps...
