Exactly this. Government employees should have some official channel that any constituent can use to communicate with them, but it doesn’t have to be every (or any) social media network. The ability to reply on social media networks is larg

I’m happy about this, but I’m going to continue using the App Store unless they censor an app that I like. It’s a very personal decision, but I like iPhone/iOS because it feels like a device, not like a computer. Android still geeked

Now if only they could either modernize the ATC system or get out of the way and let the airlines do it.

I have been a user of Proton since shortly after crowdfunding. I kick myself regularly for not buying a lifetime subscription. I’m a Proton fan mainly for one reason - assuming that they aren’t a CIA company with back doors, my government

Where are the microcode patches persistently stored and loaded from? The article didn’t go into much depth there.

A large part of learning to sail a boat is learning the terminology. Everything has a name and none of the names coincide with non-nautical experience. For instance, a “rope” on a sailboat refers to the metal part of a line usually used to

No government employee will get fired for enforcing the status quo or coming up with a new regulation that seems to improve safety. However there is huge career risk to reducing regulation, easing up on "safety" rules, etc. And a

I know you’re being sarcastic but you’re inadvertently correct. Very quickly “no security airlines” would go out of business as no one would want to risk their life needlessly, especially if the lack of security led to an incident. However

Partial privatization is often (always?) worse than no privatization. Privatization works only because of market incentives. When you take away some of those incentives then you have the illusion of a free market but free market controls c

In the early 1990s I was very late for a flight. My friend dropped me off at the departure area; I got out of the car 5 minutes before departure time. I ran through the airport to security, let them know what flight I was on, and then ran

If an employee has been malicious during their tenure then other systems should have detected and caught that. That scenario can be decoupled from the termination scenario. Think about making a 2x2 matrix (nod to Pascal’s wager): Across th

I can confirm based on my experience that at Microsoft, depending on a lot of factors like your level, role, information you have access to, and where you’re going, that they may terminate immediately as soon as you give them notice. Amazon

I interpreted the statement differently than you did. I translate “world makes sense” to mean that people act in accordance with their motivations. If people are acting in a way that seems irrational to you or at odds with their stated mo

I must admit, I read this headline and wondered why I should care which email editor they used. I read half the article and still don’t know what Elm is but I’m guessing it’s a language?

My wife is from Thailand. My father in law is a rice farmer. I’m unclear about the definition of “subsistence”, because you need more than rice to live, but he grows more than they need to eat and sells the rest to eke out a living. The que

Software needs to be used by users. It’s unlikely your developers are so innately talented that everything a user wants to do is obvious and intuitive. So docs, etc matter. Other teams like marketing need to make schedules because they spe

It might be worse. You can’t just dial up and dial down production and processing of fuels. And the regulatory climate is very hostile. So it’s a reasonable business decision to shut down a capital intensive coal mine when demand drops,

You really only need to compute one eighth of a circle segment (so, zero to pi/4), everything else you can do by symmetry by switching signs and flipping x, y. (And if you supported a larger range, you’d waste precision). In high sch

Who gets to designate “adversaries”? This bill is a huge transfer of power from the legislature to the executive. That means that for 4-year blocks, one party gets to control all the interpretations of the various vagaries and ambiguities i

Read Seeger (the decision you linked to). Here's an analysis [1]. The decision is specifically about expansion of "religion" to not require belief in a supreme being. Seeger supports my position. Again, they're not t

Courts have pretty much ignored trying to define religion and instead treat any strongly held moral-based belief as a religion. If you think about it, having the courts try to decide what is nor is not a religion is a big part of what the
