This still largely goes back to the sanitization and reffing IMO. The refs have made themselves into main characters. Techs get thrown out for almost nothing. The refs need to stop ruining moments like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_NxoC_LObU

If you want personality and style, you've got to let the players play, be emotional, and sometimes be assholes.

Luckily public transit is amazing there.

I haven’t met anyone my age who is disturbed by it. To me, anecdata seems to indicate that people who share my values, while not supporting murder, aren’t surprised about or aren’t opposed to instilling fear into the ruling class. Especially members of that class that participate in the killing of countless people through predatory business practices. Quel surprise

Because residential streets have people and kids on them. Lower speeds greatly increase the odds of survival in car collisions with pedestrians. Plus it just makes everything feel calmer and safer, especially for cyclists and pedestrians. Who doesn’t want more walkable neighborhoods? If you’ve ever lived anywhere with sane residential speed limits, this would be a no brainer.

And being able to go 25mph vs 20mph saves very little time on residential streets - you’re not traveling 10s of miles on them on any given trip. If you’re going 5 miles for example, that’s 12 vs 15 minutes, assuming you’re going exactly that speed the whole time, which you’re not, because there are stop signs and roundabouts everywhere. So it becomes pretty negligible.

In what way?

Skill issue.

20mph residential streets makes so much sense from literally every other perspective other than your own.

You’re not an engineer, so that comment isn’t relevant to you.

I loved this. It's really.. endearing and adorable? And it's what I wish the internet was used for more.

Thanks for the writeup!

Jeese louise being pedantic about the wording of a feeling is just completely lacking in compassion. This post isn’t about you. Good job making yourself feel better while belittling the struggles of someone else.

“I had it worse than you and figured it out” just ain’t it dude. Same with “just be happy”

For real. The concept of “you have to love yourself before you can love others” is cliché but.. bringing kids into the world, that are a massive responsibility, I think should be a decision made with a full understanding of the work and love needed to do it right.

How tf are you gonna have the emotional capacity for kids if you don’t have it even for yourself??

When I was in Tokyo, it was basically:

1) Go to / be pointed the nearest train station, then ask random people for help close by if still can't see the number somewhere or parse the names. People all over are super willing to help even with a language barrier. They'll usually point you up a few streets, at landmarks, or general direction. I'd often end up having to ask like 4 people on the way lol

2) If you're meeting with friends, you meet at the train station then go from there.

I don't know how anyone got around there before mapping software.

Yeah, that's going to come down to personal preference. I find using a Mac to be a much more productive / enjoyable experience, especially for creative work. There are apps to address all of those software issues (having to install noTunes is kind of annoying for sure). And I will say, I prefer my OS to _not_ jam ads and tracking down my throat.

But to each their own.

I think potentially breaking buildings is less important than definitely breaking the environment.

I mean I’ve gone through parts of my life where I’d have close to 10-12 beers a day over the course of the entire day… womp womp

Long distance binge drinking

I wish Chess960 was more popular for this exact reason. It’s super fun to watch and play compared to normal Chess… basically all I do with my friends

It's explicit, but it doesn't actually enforce the need to handle it. We've had this crop up in our code base before in accidental sneaky ways, esp. when it comes to named returns and just the sheer quantity of if err != nil checks.

For example:

  err := doSomething()
  if err != nil {
    return nil, err
  }

  err = doSomethingElse()
  if err != nil {
    return nil, err
  }

  // Oops unhandled
  err = doSomethingElseEntirely()
  
  // A bunch of other stuff..

  return nil, nil

Would much prefer "Either" with pattern matching, or something else that actually forces you to do something.

I mean the title says fastest camera drone, which that is decidedly not. Not to say that it's a necessarily accurate title, as other commenters have pointed out.

Thank you this is awesome. I find it so much quicker to read and understand things like this with examples.. and these are runnable / editable! Sick.

Gaia is orbiting around the L2 Lagrange point. As it traverses its orbit, the stars will appear to wiggle (relative to their previous recorded position) because of the stellar parallax effect. This (along with precisely knowing Gaia's orbit) enables scientists to accurately measure the distance to the star - if it wiggles more, it's closer. If it wiggles less, it's further away.

There is a limit to this method of measurement, based on the accuracy of the telescope. For Gaia:

> The European Space Agency's Gaia mission is expected to measure parallax angles to an accuracy of 10 microarcseconds for all moderately bright stars, thus mapping nearby stars (and potentially planets) up to a distance of tens of thousands of light-years from Earth.

The Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years wide. So it is able to accurately measure the distance for a _lot_ of stars around us in our galaxy.

This video probably explains it better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdy09y0A4t0

> Airbus being found at fault but acquitted of involuntary manslaughter by a Paris court last year for the AF447 crash (a 2009 mid air stall with a few MCAS parallels) passed without comment

“Company isn’t found criminally negligent in case where it pretty clearly wasn’t being criminally negligent” isn’t.. news.

I’d be _really_ curious to hear what you think the MCAS parallels are (besides both cases involving a sensor malfunction) if you think that’s news.

I wish they would just make the licensing requirement stricter for driving these behemoth vehicles. But this would have to happen on a state by state basis..

Except this isn’t a balanced perspective. That Ticketmaster can help cover the increased costs of touring is not really relevant to the discussion of “why isn’t there a replacement for Ticketmaster?”.

Why?

Livenation and Ticketmaster controls like 70+% of the market for shows (https://insights.som.yale.edu/insights/did-ticketmasters-mar...). They own fuck tons of venues and literally can’t be competed with in a lot of instances. Theres not a competitor because it turns out that acquiring vast numbers of venues is expensive and is only something that a market leader like Livenation could do.

If this were the 1920s, antitrust enforcement would come down with an iron fist. The consolidation and control of the market is insane. I hope we can see some government movement about this at some point..

SF needs to enforce its existing traffic laws first before introducing new ones. Drivers already run reds and stop signs at a prodigious rate.

Boursin's dairy-free cheese spread is a great alternative to cream cheese IMO (although you're kind of stuck with garlic & herbs flavor). Haven't quite found good alternatives to melty cheeses like cheddar though.

Yeah like maybe it was anti astroturfing, but I read that many people found themselves in the same exact buildings multiple times throughout the main quest and side quests… which is something Mass Effect did more than 10 years ago.

I cant think of why this article exists unless it’s an extremely naive reporter or an advertisement

> That’s a bit of a non sequitur, isn’t it?

That was kind of my point. The burgeoning middle class had nothing to do with rent control laws.

Anyways, most of the research I'm finding contradicts your assertions.

For example, a recent paper [0] about on the housing market in Helsinki found that "new market-rate construction loosens the housing market in middle- and low-income areas even in the short run".

About restrictive zoning _not_ being an issue, a graph from a paper [1] illustrates that Los Angeles is at 92% of its zoned capacity when it had a planned capacity in the 1960s that was more than double what its current actual capacity is. From the paper: "Areas with well-organized homeowner groups dramatically decreased density as a means of controlling population growth, thus directing the future growth of L.A. to predominately low-income, minority communities - communities least able to accommodate that growth due to overcrowded housing, under-performing schools, limited park space and, in many cases, poor transit access. In short, density was directed to the path of least political resistance, a social injustice that exacerbated spatial disparities between communities." The paper asserts that, beyond the racial disparities caused, restrictive zoning has caused rent to become unaffordable and has had a negative environmental impact.

On the topic of rent control generally, one paper [2] estimates that NYC rent controls caused a 20% misallocation of rental units. Another [3] about rent controls in SF found "that landlords whose properties were exogenously covered by rent control reduced their supply of available rental housing by 15%, by either converting to condos/TICs, selling to owner occupied, or redeveloping buildings. This led to a city-wide rent increase of 5.1% and caused $2.9 billion of total loss to renters."

And this general survey [4] found "that economic research quite consistently and predominantly frowns on rent control. [The] findings cover both theoretical and empirical research on many dimensions of the issue, including housing availability, maintenance and housing quality, rental rates, political and administrative costs, and redistribution." In short, “the economics profession has reached a rare consensus: Rent control creates many more problems than it solves.”

The 1950s were a good time to be a white American pretty much anywhere, not just New York City. So it’s definitely more complicated than that lol

Except that AoA vanes are not perfect and are speed sensitive.

> From the A330/A340 FCTM (Flight Crew Training Manual) section 8.110.4:

> The ADRs provide a number of outputs to many systems and a blockage of the pitot and/or static systems may also lead to the following:

> …

> Alpha floor activation (because AOA outputs from the sensors are corrected by speed inputs)

From what I can tell, these systems are all pretty complicated and have undergone significant real world testing to ensure that the expected protections actually work, assuming the flight computer is receiving accurate data. Which is precisely why they have Alternate Laws - if they can’t guarantee that these protections can work, then they won’t.
