But how can we support israel? /s

Date format in the blog has an error. D M Y doesn't have a comma.

Best gifts are sub $5 and from a thrift store, like a funny shirt or mug.

Yeah exactly. I've loaded up from tj's on sardines for many years and they were always fully stocked, until this year.

In US I haven't seen them for months at Trader Joe's. Usually they stock 3 different kinds.

Harm to the world. I seriously believe screen addiction is worse than obesity and opiates but it's so normalized, no one can imagine a world without it.

Humans also have prior world domain knowledge. A human driver seeing a guy running across the road behind an obstacle can infer that the human will probably pop out on the other side (and prepare accordingly). A human can see the silhouette of an object with 1 eye and still infer that it has depth because they know what objects are, which is why one-eyed people can drive legally everywhere in the US. This inference extends to everything, not just shapes but behaviors of anything in the road, animate and inanimate objects.

Seriously. I just remember as a kid seeing my school bus driver browsing the adult video section. I'm sure he did not want to find "community" there.

I swear it's the era of chesterton's fence. Boundaries in life, whether personal or professional, are largely protective for everyone. https://letter.palladiummag.com/p/new-article-how-i-learned-...

Google banned political conversations at work. Tech companies are learning from first principles why work/life separation, traditional office culture exist.

When I worked in flight test you realize how much pilots don't know anything. It's exactly like a car driver vs. automotive engineer.

That's not what your original comment says at all. You're pontificating on future aircraft configurations while you're just learning the ABC's of being an enduser of said products. Being a learning pilot confers zero expertise on conceptual design. It probably gives you less expertise than being a longtime aviation journalist like Bill Sweetman.

It's a lot like saying, "as someone 5 hours into driver's ed in my mom's honda civic, I believe that future stability control algorithms in self-driving cars..."

Or the difference between a (noob) software user and a software engineer.

Cities have banned billboards. Sao Paulo did it, so did parts of London: https://99percentinvisible.org/article/clean-city-law-secret...

Hard to quantify the benefits, but I think anyone other than advertisers would say it's a vast improvement. I cannot objectively prove that these cities, public spaces are more beautiful without ads, but all of us know that it is true. Then again you have places like times square where ads are integral to character of the place.

This is a massive improvement for airliners where margins are a few %. Tube and wing configuration is already highly optimized. This is a physical problem with a hard limit. Can you make a sphere "exponentially" rounder?

Toyota had the largest recall in history for the unintended acceleration debacle. Yes, lots of people were saying they'd never set foot in a toyota again. Now people don't even remember it.

can we not do this

One honest caveat worth flagging though.

Fair callout.

Wait where is that from? Googling just takes me back here.

Drones killing drones in the sky. Each side is just burning piles of money until one runs out. Imagine if that could be put towards something useful.

Is there a way to benchmark the accuracy, validity improvements in these successive benchmarks?

Chomsky said it was the only newspaper that told the truth.

Tax breaks for filming and it's not SF specific or even cities. Other planets too, like Stargate SG-1 being filmed around Squamish 1 hour away.

Chinese govt is a GPU. US is a CPU. Whether that's hereditary is a separate question, but culture exists.

You're right. It's only good for the superrich.

The US is very good if you're very rich. It's bad for everyone else. China appears to be somewhat bad or critical of the superrich, which is why they want to come to the US, but good if you're middle class or poor.

Read the headline - sounds like a therapy / anti-suicide advocacy app?

Clicked the link - ok looks like it's for ski touring, because it mentions avalanche stuff?

Checked the route catalog - wait, there's barely any ski tours here and it's a bunch of random hikes from around the country. Why is avalanche risk highlighted when 99% of hikers are probably gonna stay home if there's a big snowstorm? Is this by chance your personal hiking history? Why these hikes in particular?

Are avalanches the only way someone can die outdoors? What about snake bites, heat exhaustion, drowning etc.?

I am not sure what the app actually does vs gaia, alltrails, nwac app. The site only has one screenshot. What does this app add?
