That's a completely different question. You're doing pancakes/waffles.
Even if that were true, so what? ICE's violence and overreach are unacceptable and its culture is rotten to the core. The agency needs to be abolished. If there are functions they're performing that we actually need, move those functions elsewhere, but as an agency ICE is irredeemable.
They're talking about the period of time that followed reunification. Going from there to where Germany is today isn't inevitable.
Animations make me crazy. Computers used to respond at the speed of thought, and now we've deliberately slowed them down for no good reason. Just show me the thing!
I used to be able to whip through 3-4 keyboard shortcuts in a fraction of a second and the computer would keep up. This was on an 80 MHz machine, by the way. Now I have a supercomputer and I have to wait for a quarter-to-half-second zoom/pan/slide/whatever with nearly every single interaction. It's maddening.

It doesn't end there. It ends when you've investigated how this happened, identified the causes, and changed your procedures, systems, and/or culture to make sure it doesn't happen again.
The "blameless" in "blameless post-mortem" isn't meant to absolve anyone of gross negligence. Even airline pilots can get fired after an NTSB investigation if it finds evidence of negligence.
They've known about this RCE for two years.
TIL PHP has a security team.
I presume that leaving an "anyone can run any command on over 40% of the web servers in the world" hole in PHP for 14 years means the entire team has been relieved of their responsibilities.
In the US, photographing and recording police are first amendment-protected activities.
Likewise, the fourth amendement doesn't forbid a police officer from recording someone in public, because there's no expectation of privacy when out in public.
The courts have found that legally, one officer recording one person is no different from a large-scale, automated surveillance system recording everyone.
Well, that argument goes both ways. If the scale and automation don't make a difference, they don't make a difference.
Altitude doesn't change (much) at the point where an orbit raising maneuver is performed. It increases the altitude of the
rest of the orbit, with the greatest change ~180 degrees later.
If you'll excuse some poor ASCII art:

You've got 30-45 minutes with the candidate. Is this question the best use of that time?
What's hard to understand about it? It's just
x = initial
for y in collection:
x = f(y, x)
Walmart used to be (and maybe still is?) known for doing this. They would get companies to produce lower-quality versions of products under the same name as the standard versions available elsewhere. They could sell them for cheaper and consumers were none the wiser - or so the theory went, anyway. Obviously people caught on.
I don't know the specific items that were called out here but I can tell you, as a flight instructor, that the failure to capture the glideslope was already enough to require a go-around. The late flap settings were too. So was the high airspeed. At no point did they have a stabilized approach. There were multiple unequivocal mandatory go-around conditions before they got to the runway.
Turbofans being slow to spool up is jets 101.
Time was, if you didn't understand how to use VORs, you couldn't really fly. We used them as primary en route nav, as well as for approaches, for many decades. As a CFI I think most of the confusion around VORs these days comes down to poor or inadequate training.
> sustaining human lifeNot really. Drone ships are very much a thing these days.
It's unfortunately misleading shorthand for what actually happens: space becomes time
like. It doesn't become
time. All this means is that once you cross the event horizon, you can only ever move toward the center of the black hole, in the same way that outside of a black hole, you can only ever move toward the future. You might not take a direct route to the center, but no matter which way you move, you will be following a track that ends at the center.
The reason this phenomenon has a spooky-sounding name is that it also affects whether two objects can be causally connected. If you can only ever move closer to the center of the black hole, then there are (conceivably) other objects inside the event horizon that you can never have a causal relationship with.
But it doesn't mean that space and time literally switch places.
> If the sky was clear, as the article states, then lack of GPS is not a good enough excuse for a trained pilot to crash into a mountain, unless the cockpit has no windows.I have thousands of hours as pilot in command and have worked as a professional pilot.
Unlit terrain is invisible at night. The moon was new. They did not see, and could not have seen, the mountains.
The "skill issue" is that they chose to press on instead of returning to base. Yes, the jamming was a factor, but making a decision to fly a visual into field surrounded by mountains at night is a bad call.
I'm sorry, what? Pilot error is absolutely a factor in contemporary accidents. It's the most common one, in fact, because we've rooted out almost all the other risks.
Not true. You also need an accurate altimeter to fly the intermediate segment, as well as the missed approach segment. There are mountains under the obstacle clearance surfaces on both segments. That is why this ILS procedure is explicitly not authorized when the local altimeter setting isn't available.
It would not be safe at this airport, and the ILS procedure there explicitly forbids it. In the remarks at the top of the approach plate you'll see "When local altimeter setting not received, procedure NA." (NA = Not Authorized.) Here's the plate:
https://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/2607/06922IL24.PDFThe reason you need an accurate altimeter for this ILS is that the obstacle clearance surface for the intermediate segment - the part where you're flying straight and level without a glideslope - lies atop the very mountains these pilots crashed into. Vertical guidance on the missed approach is also barometric, and there are mountains in that direction too.
Lack of GPS was one factor here, but poor judgment was the real killer. Flying a visual approach at night into a field surrounded by unlit mountains is suicidal.
There's a saying among medevac pilots when it comes to making go/no-go decisions: don't turn one tragedy into five.
I do think cancel is a poor example because it's conceptually very near "go back" - but it doesn't actually mean that. It means "I've changed my mind".
Implementing cancel with a URL is an implementation detail. That's one way to do it, but it's far from the only way. Cancel could also be implemented by hiding a UI element, for example.
Turns out immigration in other countries isn't a cakewalk either.
And in a truly twisted move, ad tech companies were also using Do Not Track as part of browser fingerprinting.
This industry is a paperclip maximizer, and it needs to be dealt with accordingly.
I can't find the source now but an idea that really stuck with me is that evolution happens on the margins. If a 0.0001% increase in the height of a giraffe makes it 0.0001% more likely that the giraffe will survive and reproduce, then in 1 million years giraffes as a species will become taller.
As for humans: I mean, duh? The selective pressures faced by humans have changed radically in the time we've been around.
Because that isn't what evolution does. Evolution is the process whereby traits that make reproduction more likely under selective pressures become more common. There is nothing in that process that necessarily implies a lack of harm to each other or the environment.
No, they're actually the same thing: making an honest assessment of reality. In the first case you're doing so to prevent self-delusion. In the second you're doing so to prevent others from clouding your judgment.
