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.
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.
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.

Those trim cutout switches were actually first put in place long ago to cutout the electric trim on the yokes for situations when they get stuck or otherwise runaway.
So really what’s needed now is a different set of MCAS disable switches.
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.
Except preservation on its own is not very useful. You need some sort of understanding of the data on many levels hence "archeology" (that may not be the best term but I think it gets the point across).
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. ;)
Will Smith's contrary view is that fame is great. You get treated better everywhere and people listen to your mundane opinions on anything. The pain of being ignored or rejected is vastly reduced, whether it's in your personal life, career etc.
I think some people are extroverted enough, and arrogant enough to love this sort of fame. I don't mean this comment to be negative, but I'm not sure how else to describe the trait. Have you ever walked into a room and thought "These hundred or so people should really be listening to me." Maybe not verbatim, but I suspect Will Smith has had that thought in one form or another.
Since HN is titled so heavily towards introverted logical (logical as opposed to emotional) thinkers, it's no surprise that the perspective of a celebrity would be hard for the community to grasp.
I hadn't heard that was his POV. I'm surprised. I've always thought fame would be terrible. You can't walk down the street in peace. You can't shop in peace. You can't eat at a restaurant in peace.
Money seems to have all the benefits of fame and few of the disadvantages. Having $100m in the bank confers all those advantages without being harassed on the street.
Well, with fame, you walk into a fancy restaurant, you get a table. With money, you're still another anonymous schmuck.
I guess if you have that much money you can hire someone to call ahead and say "This man's net worth is this much, and he would like to have a table in half an hour.". Or to be less crass, they can rattle off your impressive CV/portfolio and the restaurant would get the idea.
You never been out for a meal with a rich person huh? Guarantee you a rich person (where rich is $50m+)can get that table faster than the b-list sitcom actor who is in front of her in the queue. She dosnt need a CV, just needs her wallet.
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
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.
