Clickbait, contrived nonsense. If housing is taken care of, the real minimum-viable wage for San Francisco is $35k/year. Anything beyond that is either exorbitant discretional living beyond one's means and/or overpaying. Housing is insane in most of SF with rooms approaching $6k/month, which would necessitate an income of around $200k/year. There's no need to live in SF, and it maybe untenable and illogical to do so without commensurate income for the majority of people. Live elsewhere and save money, don't just bid into a bidding war because everyone else is.

Whale blubber and mammal livers are high in vitamin c and considering primates lost the function of the GULO (L-gulonolactone oxidase) gene, one could surmise from megafauna extinctions that hunting was essential to most nomadic hominids.

Also, GULO is one of many interesting genes to contemplate resurrecting.

There's no technical panacea to this undesirable behavior. Sanctions against party elites would be a start by preventing them from banking or traveling freely.

China is far, far worse with the sex ratio being incredibly imbalanced due to the past one child policy. There's a number of documentaries about the craziness and competitiveness of dating in China. People not having sex, not having families (if they so desire) and not making enough money to be comfortable anywhere is a national emergency.

American men of any sort can just go to Brazil, Mexico, Ukraine or the Czech Republic... where an endless supply of objectively-attractive women are willing to hookup with foreigners for very little or no relative cost. (Prague 10's for 60€/hour.) Rent a huge villa for cheap for a few weeks in Central and South America, the girls beat down your door like they're meeting a celebrity... they will bring their girlfriends if you ask them for a good old hellraising.

LDOW (older women) from the US visit Jamaica, Haiti, Costa Rica and parts of Africa for sex tourism, formally or informally, because of the abundance of fit men.

I think frustrated dudes need a shift in attitude, a more open-mind and make an effort for their own sake. A more pleasing personality, better social adroitness and improved awareness goes a long ways to many things in life.

Hedges mentioned that when capitalism is in doubt, the panacea "answer" that often turns into a wedge-issue is whether to replace the previous socioeconomic order with more fascism or more socialism. Anomie and angst get channeled into convulsions leading towards yet another civil war along these lines; dividing-and-conquering on the similar issues and concerns as almost a century prior. Paraphrasing what someone once said: history is doomed to repeat itself about every 90 years. I feel like we're repeating the late 1920's, to a degree, with growing nationalism and hate directed at minorities.. which inevitably leads to World War if not civil war.

This doesn't go far enough. As reported by Al Jazeera in 2010, critical structural elements of the 737 NG that were supposed to be CNC'ed were handmade and grossly out-of-spec, leading to at least three deaths when 737 NG's broke apart in several sections on runway overruns, while in the past airframes held together intact in such events, protecting passengers. Boeing then covered up and scuttled its own investigation panel after management didn't like its conclusions.

tl;dr: 737 NG and MAX aircraft are fundamentally unsafe because of systemic lapses in regulatory oversight. These aircraft cannot be made safe economically due to Boeing's regulatory capture of the FAA, so it's best to never fly on them.

In my mind, Boeing as a passenger transport company is, or should be, finished. How they acted regarding the 737 NG and MAX are criminally-unforgivable.

People don't seem to get: the world isn't anywhere close to this lie of meritocracy they've been sold. There's a small fraction of society with the right pedigree who don't have to work hard and have everything handed to them because of who their parents are. This fraction is the predominant constituent of Ivy League universities, whereas merit students who worked hard are a tiny minority.

Regardless of acquisition price point, this is almost always what happens when employees take these third-rate shares.

The solution is employees need to insist on the exact same class of shares as founders. Furthermore, more startup workplaces need to closer to co-ops than these pseudo-meritocratic corporations out to exploit labor with impunity. Maybe it wouldn't have helped in this instance, but that's not the point... the point is being treated fairly regardless of exit outcome.

That processor is really old 6th gen and underpowered. I got a faster and newer quad core 8550U in a Lenovo T480 with 9 hours of battery life in dual batteries. Plus, I have a 1 TiB Samsung 970 Pro. Sure, they do better on firmware tracing and privacy, but if it's not a competitive and good value, it's risking not being a survivable business model. The PC business is competitive and runs on slim margins, so if they shirk or shrug at keeping up, their business is going to die.

Dude ran a drug trafficking platform and allegedly took out six (6) assassination contracts, therefore the dude is a dangerous criminal. Trying to portray him as some "innocent civilian" is patently dishonest. He should rot in prison for life for what he's done.

Nawh, it's definitely Nabiru ;) Thanks for the heads-up.

Corollary to Dunning-Kruger perhaps: the productive view themselves as inadequate, leading to a number of insecurities, while the boorish liabilities view themselves as masterful, omnipotent polyglots.

MentourPilot is a great channel... I subbed before the Max debacle. https://mentourpilot.com

It makes sense that even with two pilots trying to manually spin the trim wheels from a full nose down configuration would be nearly impossible due to aerodynamic loading. IIRC relatively unloaded manual trim wheel movement is difficult even with both pilots extending the trim wheel folding handles and spinning them with maximum effort. I would like to know if commercial simulators accurately simulate manual trim wheel difficulty under high aerodynamic loading such as full nose down trim and high speed.

I think the electric trim cutout switches should be repurposed as "automation trim cutout switches" so that pilots can continue to use the yoke trim switches under high aerodynamic forces where manual trim reversion isn't possible and electric power is still available... and pilots could still revert to trim wheels during electric power loss conditions. You wouldn't disable the brake booster in a car because cruise control went haywire.

It's analogous to police "searching" a homeless person by throwing, tearing up and destroying all of their property without even reasonable suspicion... they do it and get away with murdering people time-after-time because they can under a thinly-duplicitous cover of qualified immunity (at least in the US).

Although police at the borders don't have to have any reasonable suspicion for searches, racial profiling, secret watch lists and targeted intimidation are a likely consequent of an unfettered military-industrial complex that long since ceased to do more than security theater and carry water for the corporate elites. So it should come with zero surprise that such an empire's law enforcement acts with impunity however it pleases and only ensures to "serve and protect" the rich elites' and their property, effectively creating a socioeconomic apartheid of gated communities and post-apocalyptic anarchist favelas, both in terms of geography and public discrimination, that tears a society apart into a failed, third-world, backwards country.

"Digital archeology" isn't the right term, "digital preservation" falls under archival science, whether formally or informally.

From my measly perspective, fame suuucks... there's really no upside. Anonymous obscurity seems a better camouflage rather than people getting up in someone's personal business documenting their every move, criticizing their every breath, treating them differently, expecting to impose on their emotional reserves and time, or acting goofy/toadyingly around them. All people put on pants one leg at a time unless they're missing legs or wearing a kilt. ;)

There's something to be said for explicitly commuting the least distance (constrained by affordability) and not when everyone else is:

1. less time wasted -> a. more time to be productive in primary pursuits, b. more leisure time and c. if during business hours, more productivity accomplishing errands

2. less stress

The layout of the page appears to bunch on mobile Safari on iOS as one long, skinny column for the main text.

Edit: Written on an express bus that doesn't bunch, although yes normal buses bunch, including purposely for peak times where there's lots of passengers.

I wonder about the causal link/s. Speculating, maybe less stressed/anxious/depressed and healthier people have more fun, better genes or have more resources to have better healthcare? Also, less stressed mothers seem inherently more likely to bring a child to term than a stressed mom-to-be because IIRC stress induces both labor or spontaneous abortion. Maybe there's a MHC or other immune component that leads to stronger attraction and/or healthier babies? There was a dating startup in the late 90's that promised to match people on MHC, but I'm not sure how far they got on that.... maybe AI/deep learning trained on a big enough SNPs samples and qualitative mutual attractiveness rating could tackle it these days.

Let's see: America generally has terrible public transportation and purposely laid-out most modern cities to require private car use, yet the "solution" is to ban cars. In reality, the unintended consequences are the creation of an economic apartheid because the rich won't be as affected as a proportion of income and further, it will disproportionately tax on already struggling poor people.

Layout cities and do public transportation better, policy-makers shouldn't just tax what's vital to live and work just because they think it will go away... it's BandAid, panacea mentality.

I constantly get a kernal panic on multiple machines under heavy load of the sort of trying to interlock destroyed mutex from within, according to the backtrace, com.metakine.handsoff.driver. I'm wondering if it's exploitable.

Sweeping generalization fail. One rumor from one distro does not a trend make. Plus, there are many more conservative distros which won't succumb to pointless fashionablism churn. And it's relatively trivial, while labor-intensive, to roll your own distro or fork a FLOSS one. Have a look at LFS. Seems like a tempest in a teapot article to invent outrage clickbait.

Capitalism's hubris... co-op workplaces, organized labor and sharing salary info are musts. We don't need fascism nor communism to solve inequality, just a shift back to decency and earned respect through workplace action. Power concedes nothing without organized resistance. Violence carries water for the opposition, so only nonviolent disobedience will be strategically-successful.

Two distinct possibilities:

1. Conductors with different thermal expansion coefficients and/or cold solder joint/s. BGA chips (ie graphics) especially. Reballing BGAs is no simple procedure to prevent popcorning, thermal damage and cold joints.

2. Condensation - I have an A1278 non-Retina MBP that I'm donating that, for 5 years now, refuses to recognize the boot drive if it's warmed up too quickly. I suspect corrosion resistance and/or a short from condensation somewhere along the SATA path or a signal feeding a chip that provides it. I've tried using a pencil eraser on the male and female SATA connector contacts to no avail. I bet Louis Rossmann could fix it for $180-350 but I already bought a Lenovo T480.

Doesn't this duplicate the effort of HHVM?
