Apple employees/people from other NDA obsessed firms have nothing on the cleared workers. Yea they can be cagey but their products eventually ship and they can talk about them. When you're in defense, once your project ships it stays on orbit for a decade or two.

They're part of that ecosystem as well. In my experience they're all miserable places to work though, LM in particular.

It ropes you into that ecosystem and that ecosystem only. Most consumer/web tech companies won't understand a resume that's just "I did a thing, can't talk about it".

If you think that's a perk you don't belong doing that work. It's not the james bond life you think it is and the people who think of it that way are insufferable.

Try living in a windowless box for 8 hours a day and having no resume.

Fight might be a strong word...

I should at least provide a little source material though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUUU-C-7o98 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gdn0465zE4o

They have spoilers which do allow a fairly steep angle, combined with other techniques can get you down very quickly, though not quite 45 dergees IIRC.

Some transport aircraft like the C-17 can deploy thrust reverses in flight to achieve those attitudes. I'm told the people riding in back don't enjoy it though.

I would argue both sides do attempt "literature surveys" but they're often tainted by the desire to justify their goals. It turns out you can twist numbers to mean whatever you want and both sides are guilty of this to some extent, though at the moment the pants-on-fire award seems to go to the right. If taken far enough, however, one gets to the level of trying to debate truth itself and "what is objective fact" which gets hairy...

Yea, I don't think it's really accurate even if it's sometimes the unintentional result. It's frustrating because I really appreciate the rest of the perspective they're offering.

I think that is the point that OP is making, and though I think the overall post is rather salient there might be a better direction for them to take that argument...

Perhaps a better way to look at that particular note is while that's how the right views the left (depending on the camp) the issue within the left is the rampant infighting. Sort of like https://xkcd.com/1095/ . None of these are hard rules obviously but there are a lot of cliques within just LGBT where bi people are hated/excluded from lesbian/gay circles, trans people are excluded from all of the above. Stuff like vegans vs vegetarians, environmentalists vs those focused on social issues, and on and on.

I think the saying "the left fights while the right falls in line" is something that needs to be really driven home.

Careful with this one. He's really stretching a lot of facts here. 3% infection -> immunity isn't insane but it's not something that can be relied upon and it's way too early to be sure this is the end. We're still seeing repeat infections as well.

The group thing is real. Some people just really need the motivation from others being present or their perceived judgement to show up regularly. It's not a failing on their part, whatever gets you to the gym and keeps you going, but maybe work on your individual workouts during the pandemic?

Pander to people acting in bad faith because they act in bad faith...

Seems like a good strategy.

We need the postal service to be a gov entity because the alternative is having UPS control our elections.

Osmand has full offline navigational functionality for free and uses as well as contributes to the open street maps data set instead of a proprietary one. I've used it to save my bacon a few times when I tried to start navigation well away from cell coverage.

I wonder if softbank sees the writing on the wall here. Yea they want cash but ARM is rapidly coming under fire from the open source RISC-V architecture. ARM's licencing model in particular is steering people away from their offerings in new designs and I think they're pretty much at peak value right now with Apple's adoption of their architecture.

I know there aren't tons of news articles about new high performance chips being offered but where I work we are seeing a ridiculous level of interest from other companies particularly given our industry...

That only really holds water at a cursory glance though... Nvidia owns ALL of video and then some, AMD only owns a (growing) tiny fraction of CPU and happens to have a couple cards. It's not just about markets but market share.

Yea, it seems like the whole off-road community has been drooling over the bronco as a possible jeep alternative. They seem to have finally figured out that there are some wide open markets out there.

I think the issue is that in the moral sense if something is inadmissible but is used to obtain admissible evidence, everything derived should also be inadmissible (GPL style). In this case the officer in perjuring himself by trying to pass off inadmissible evidence as admissible but this is more of a play on words than actual legal doctrine if I understand it correctly. What I think OP is saying is that it should be perjury and I totally agree.

Reading through a couple of the descriptions it looks like they have a state-wide database for searching face images against FL driver's licence photos. Since all the departments are signed onto the system, they all get the symbol but there may be other reasons/more invasive systems mixed in with the clutter so take that for what it's worth.

I have so much stuff I'm working on/want to work on but I have no time due to my 9-5. We don't need 100k/yr UBI, we need barely enough to cover basic rent and food so that people can survive working part time while starting businesses or furthering the arts and sciences.

Yea, a lot of people who aren't into that stuff would languish but it's not like they AREN'T languishing right now. How much value does making someone else rich bring to your life if you're pissing it away behind a KFC register?

You're not wrong at all, and there is. It's just surprisingly easy to filter it out. If something new or non-standard is happening (ATC gave you an unusual approach, there's a traffic conflict, etc) you WILL start filtering out the less important information such as the screech of a gear horn or some other in-your-face indicator right through touchdown.

The thing about flying an aircraft is while it's 90% boring monotony, takeoff, approach and landing are all extremely time sensitive operations. It's easy to become cognitively saturated or to "get behind the aircraft". You can only go forward and you're going really fast so everything has a deadline.

The best description would be like when you were learning to drive and you merged onto a highway the first time. Lots going on, can't slow down, just have to commit and try to keep up.

The important difference here is China has claimed territorial waters from other sovereign and non-cooperative countries.

If they had gone to the nurses it would have saved a lot of lives. There have been about 300 medical personnel deaths due to covid already.

And that peak was probably also aspirational at best. The SP500 has basically become the stock price manipulation hall of fame.

I think this kinda bends the meaning of the argument a bit.

To put it differently, if we have to go with outsourcing, China was a mistake and we should redirect as much of what was offshored as possible to Mexico.

Obviously the billionaire class needs to pay for what has been done. I'm absolutely not against that.

While tangential, it should be noted that creating jobs in Mexico and Canada will probably always be a net good for the US even if it means some net loss of jobs in the near term. Being closely connected with populous neighbors whom you can enrich such that they can buy your stuff will vastly strengthen the US's position as well as the NA bloc. We want manufacturing in mexico because we're connected by literal rail lines and can ship products back and forth far more readily and in an environmentally friendly way. Further we have mutual interests in terms of policy and defense.

This may sound controversial but it's likely the only way forward for the US to compete with China long term. Trying to ostracize our neighbors and go it alone against a country 4x our size is not a geopolitically sound move.

Traditionally that was the case, however there's been an increase in incidents where they have been responding with far more gear and weapons than could possibly be reasonable. In short, they're actively looking for excuses to play dress-up and it's getting worse.

It's interesting trolling that side of the youtube algorithm. It's abundantly clear that we've shifted from cops just being a mix of individuals who want to help and a substantial number of not-so-ex-high-school-bullies to full on military LARPers.

The DHS funding being pumped into the forces have resulted in police being better battle-equipped than the average country's military and this has become a recruiting tool. Don't want to sign many years of your life away and probably get shipped out to a -stan where you have to deal with constant misery just to live out a military fantasy? Just go to a police academy for a couple months and you can cosplay all you want while with all the same toys in a "target rich environment".

The end result is we've created a recruiting pull that only finds the worst possible people for the job. It would be like HR only hiring people for a software company who picked computer science entirely because they heard it was high paying but somehow far far deadlier.

172s are typically MORE expensive for what you get. The training commonality causes their price to go up on the resale market and the new ones cessna still makes are ludicrously expensive.

Just about any other aircraft in its class will be just as good or better but cost substantially less.

I should also add, the 172 is terrible for just about every mission set outside of training. They can barely only carry 3 people safely (2 with bags) but are very slow, heavy, and expensive to operate compared to a dedicated 2 seater. If you want 3+ seating and bags go buy a 182 or something :)

This is real. It's used a lot in defense applications.

No JTAG, not interested. JTAG is essential for being able to properly utilize chips like these. They need to pin it out.
