> living in Asia, can charge 50-100$ per hour, which comparatively to the US, would be 100$+-500$ per hour. And that is happening a lot now.
Numbers please.. you mean only now due to the WFH move upper management realised they don't need to watch butts in chairs and can hire anyone from all over the world and look at that economic advantage, though that had been always possible before, and was even often attempted with varying success, but now no concerns anymore? Doubts..
I think the big change is that companies are now hiring more or less directly 1:1 (often with a employer of record for convenience). Previously companies contracted with outsourcing firms and had no real say over the quality of individuals. At least in my narrow experience the new model works well - there are great people in India, Pakistan, Kenya and Nigeria etc. who are just as good as on-site people and can probably live very well on their salary compared to local living costs.
You sure? iirc they were just "stackless" threads with true cooperative switching (so like a true context switch by changing PC but not having to switch SP and keep multiple stacks).
If you would be right I could stop being salty about something I have ever been salty since 15 years or so: I "invented" (no not really, people did this before, but in the context of the raising meshed tiny sensor network hype at that time) in my thesis, then a researcher with connections to SICS took that with him and to this group, and half a year later Contiki appeared with the same approach (just more polished and a much better PR to contend with the much uglier TinyOS).
As an ex smoker, I found quitting smoking one of the easiest things to do, just knew and decided it is time to stop now.. so I'm always surprised why is that.
Also recently just going interval fasting for first time in my life because becoming a bit fat, not any problem, at all strangely.
I wonder why that is, I wouldn't think I have a super strong will or just cannot be addicted, if I consider gaming or other procrastination habits..
But what definitely please shouldn't be done here is to put it into a category of "the most addictive thing" where really just heroine, true aclohol addiction, and similar drugs belong. Heroine/alcohol is nearly impossible to fight through with just own willpower. Objectively!
I quit drinking and smoking. Of those drinking was probably harder but neither was very hard for me.
The key is to avoid situations that trigger your addiction. Don’t buy any of the products. Don’t hang around people that use them. Don’t go to places where people use them. And so on. This might mean you need to get new friends. It’s unfortunately the way it is.
That’s why it’s harder to quit more ubiquitous things (like eating sugar). And it probably varies from person to person
Now, perhaps, imagine for one second, your experience is not like other people's.
Objectively, based on actual studies, smoking is incredibly hard to quit.
Please don't try and undermine that because you sit at the edge of the distribution curve. I'm glad that you do, but you are an outlier, and don't get to condemn all the other evidence on the basis of that.
HN is not about giving just destructive feedback, but yeah, reading that question just made me full face palm. Why, .. on so many levels. Please stop, and go speculating with yourself a bit.
(What would be funny if this is an AI trying to get learning material (: )
Hmm.. I'm a vegatarian, once vegan, since let me count.. oh why does that matter at all?
Taste like meat? Not at all, likely, don't remember, but I usually find them taste just nice, pea protein with spices, so what's the problem? Also what does thst have to do with how regular?
I hope they don't go out of business, being concerned for animals and environment I think every alternative that some people enjoy is great.
Hmm, can someone just paint me that path into Google Maps?
Washington National has no 18, but only a 19, and I guess everyone takes off southwards as directly north is the White House? Also the river is like parallel to the runway and then the natural extension of it, so "follow the river" there is super clear, no turn needed?
Depending on how long ago this happened that could be the same runway. There was an article that made the front page here in the last month or so about how the movement of the magnetic poles requires runway names to be adjusted periodically. This isn't that same article, I didn't feel like digging through my history, but it explains the same topic.
Thanks for all and that link, but yeah I was assuming 18==19 already and meant to understand runway numbers, maybe should have left out that detail.
Actual question still sticks: Takeoff on 18 southwards basically makes you follow the river immediately. Where did this guy encounter his left/right decision, to get back towards white house? he must have made almost a uturn then?
And even assuming the article is a bit inaccurate and he took of northwards (thanks for pointing out the patterns pilots have to fly if doing that @ others): I still cannot imagine how that plane flew and where it matches the description of: "When I reached 1500 feet I looked down. I was crossing the river. It went right and left."
I always find it funny how shortly after CGPGrey posts about a thing (or John Oliver does a segment on LWT), a large number of commenters will speak on it as experts at the next available opportunity. It's obvious how many of us watch the same channels.
You’re correct. I live near DC and travel there for photography (much like the novice pilot in the OP).
If you’re flying near DC, or anywhere really, you should at least have a broad understanding of where you cannot fly. That is your responsibility; nobody in your ear will say “remember, don’t go to the restricted airspace.”
The pilot never claims to be the victim here, either. They screwed up and learned their lesson.
I used to sit nearby on my lunch break, and on a clear day you could watch planes after takeoff clearly follow the course of the river N/NW until completely out of sight, which would probably have been close the DC/Maryland border. They would be going in and out every few minutes and they all took the exact same flight path.
Not sure how it is in the UK, but in Germany, where there is also a lot of outcry and hate towarfs them, the protestors (once you dig through) actually have very few and most simple demands: partly even promises that have been given for years by politicians, it is borderline ridiculous. They would be quite easy to fulfill even. Still, nothing happens.
Given that the issue of climate change is so profound and long existant (I mean, against it any crisis like Vietnam or tofay's pandemic just pale) I can only sympathize with them - and imo it's hugely unfair to blame the state becoming more deep state on them, don't do that.
It is on our all's huge lethargic laziness I really feel more and more guilty for, both deep state and climate change nonaction.
> We don't know if it will be enough or not...
Strong disagree, the way you envision what we can only do we know definitely it will not be enough. Period. Sorry to agree to your last paragraph, but that is almost climate change denial ;)
Ha, resonates completely with me. I think it takes time and experience to hate on complexity... and maybe also just age because your brain cache becomes worse and smaller, and you have seen enough "smart" things fail, also your own ones.
And that..
> Maybe I'm lazy, but I'd sit there and think of half a dozen other ways to do it before settling on changing the module itself.
Yeah, one aatribute of good engineers is that they are lazy in the right way ;)
