Yes. That works great. There are however two troubles: 1. it would definitely be a different aircraft with different training 2. the more-difficult flight behavior is prohibited for commercial passenger planes

Is there something special about reversing a binary tree? AFAIK, you could swap the child pointers and do that recursively for the child nodes. You could also do things O(1) by just changing the comparison function, perhaps by wrapping it t

Think about why an investment property might sit empty. At first glance, that seems absurd. An investor wants to earn money, and rent would be one way to get that. As high as rents might be, they are clearly not enough to put these properti

None of that is essential. For menstruation, you can do free bleeding. For defecation, you can use a bidet, or go old-style with corn cobs. You can use an odd number of stones, as specified by Muhammad. The same goes for shampoo (don't

Yes, exactly so.

It's neither. Erosion and sea level changes are not at all the problem here. The problem is that keeping the lowest point dry causes subsurface water to be removed from the area. Also, that water doesn't get replenished. Things te

Leaders in the USA don't openly threaten or incite murder. It was a Bernie Sanders campaign worker who shot at Steve Scalise and other congressional republicans.

It's not just a matter of toxicity. All food coloring is fraud. Even in the obvious uses like candy, where you can readily identify that coloring is in use, it is yanking on instincts that we evolved to obtain nutrition.

The CIA hires them. If you want to actually take part in something political, like a political assassination, that would be the way to do it and even get paid. Heh. Maybe that is his real job. He wouldn't tell us, would he?

This is what you see even if you follow nothing or if you only follow stuff clearly associated with the right. When you follow stuff associated with the right, it often gets unfollowed. This was very noticeable with the movie Unplanned. Bas

Directly, it isn't much. Indirectly, it could be much more. You can fire the rocket from a different location on Earth. Switching to a different orbital plane is expensive. There are other benefits. Launch windows are usually limited d

Launches are very often cancelled due to weather, and launch windows are usually limited due to the physical location of the launch pad. Stratolaunch solves both those problems.

I'm bummed that there don't seem to be universities offering this without the specific religious affiliation. You can get it in Roman Catholic form at Ave Maria, or typical protestant form at Bob Jones, but you can't get it p

I'm not saying it does today. I'm saying it could do so, while still having bias. The existence of bias doesn't make the computer worse than humans.

The computer vision systems could still beat real human vision systems. This could be by absolute numbers crashed into, or by having less bias than humans, or by both. It's not even a bias problem. It's a lighting, contrast, and c

I'm a man and I am ignorant of this alleged man-only social network that supposedly helps me get notice of job openings. Doesn't that suggest that it doesn't exist? If it does exist yet I'm ignorant of it, doesn't t

Cool. Let the EU have their own little mini-Internet in complete denial of the existence of wrongthink.

I would hope so, but Wikipedia seems large enough to have servers over there. If the EU can get away with this, what about North Korea and Saudi Arabia? Imagine a Wikipedia that can only say good things about Kim Jong-Un and doesn't co

How is archive.org not exempt? They are outside of EU jurisdiction unless they made the mistake of opening an office over there, which would be trivially fixable by shutting it down.

You're right that we "don't see anyone scrutinizing public commit counts when it's a man in a similar context". Well of course! The media never promotes an inflated story of a man's accomplishments due to him b

Your "lobbying for our new hire of managing director to be a woman" is fuel for rage and even return fire. I hope you can see how it might be used to justify discrimination in the other direction. You aren't being fair.

Do you think a man in a similar position would be elevated on a pedestal, to the exclusion of the algorithm designer (Mareki Honma) and the primary software author (Andrew Chael)?

Pantone is not CMYK and can not even be represented by CMYK. From Wikipedia: "However, most of the Pantone system's 1,114 spot colors cannot be simulated with CMYK but with 13 base pigments (14 including black) mixed in specified

Suppose it is just harmless to the computer, but it uses the USB port to power something else. It could contain a microphone and a transmitter. A more evil device, for assassination, could contain explosives or nerve gas. Plugging in the de

It's sad to see Gimp giving in to the CMYK myth. I suppose it was simply too difficult to educate all the users who were somehow convinced of the need to work in CMYK space. Some of us remember when Microsoft Word document formatting w

Would you severely limit the time? If you don't, and you don't charge a fee, then the costs become insane. You see, this isn't just a data connection. Somebody must be paid to observe the video, making sure that it isn't

So, to get the aircraft back flying again, we just need to mandate some physical strength standards for air crews.

A good rule would be to keep MCAS active, choosing to use the sensor that produces the less-extreme adjustment.

All aircraft with podded engines under low-mounted wings have that tendency to pitch up when accelerating. This is nothing new. The 737 MAX additionally has a tendency to pitch up when pitching up. The more you pitch the aircraft up, the mo
