Not to take a position in this debate as a whole, but I just want to interject that there is research suggesting that you actually are more likely to be affected if you are aware of the other person's conflict of interest. (Can'

The point I was making by comparing to a pilot, which I realise I could have expressed a lot more clearly, is that it is perfectly possible to mitigate risks through proper training and procedures even if it's not possible technically.

So here is the thing: It was presumably relatively easy for you to come up with that scenario, which you called "not-unlikely". Then what you do is you put that scenario into your risk analysis when you're designing the authe

It's not tethered to the ground. It's a group of rotating "wings" tethered to each other in the centre, wherein the centrifugal force of the rotation give structural stability. That way they get away with using less stru

You're right that the feet deform significantly when you stand on them. For that reason you usually measure them load-bearing (i.e. you stand up with even weight distribution on your feet). I think it's more likely that it's

That method is actually used by many shoemakers when you order a pair of bespoke shoes (in combination with a series of tape measurements). It's not accurate enough to produce a fitting shoe in a single attempt, however, so what usuall

It's still very relevant for a couple of reasons. Perhaps most obviously, you just can't try a shoe on if you buy online. You can if you buy five pairs and return four, as some do, but it's a lot of hassle and a waste of reso

Not only are there technologies that could be used for this, there are working products in the market that do it already. I work for one of the technology providers in this area. Having x-ray images or such would actually be somewhat helpfu

Several well-known brands are working on this in various ways. Adidas has a cooperation with Carbon 3D to produce individualised soles for shoes you order, as one example[1]. Robotic knitting is another area I know some players are working

Technologies for mass scale customisation is being developed by several big players in the market. However, also consider that there are already hundreds of thousands of different shoe styles in the market, so finding a pair of perfectly fi

Well, you should have "avoid eating meat" on that safety list anyway, so that is almost helpful.

That is not a very helpful comment. Anyway, the quote from the article I was responding to above was talking about using swap to handle a situation where you have insufficient RAM, so you're off mark.

From the article: GDPR applies to all companies storing information on EU citizens. Those citizens should be allowed to know what data is held, where it is being stored and who has access to it. This is not correct, as far as I am aware.

The irradiance is determined by the aperture, which is measured relative to the focal length. So with e.g. f/2 you get the same heating of a given area of the sensor regardless of the focal length (i.e. "zoom"). Put different

My "most" claim was more generic, in that they are situational, triggered by emotions (and lack of emotional control), and most often between people that know each other. Him making a pass at her is merely my conjecture of how tha

Most likely for the same reasons almost all crimes of this sort happen. He made a pass on her that wasn't well received, things got out of hand, emotions took over and at some point he either injured or killed her in the heat of the mo

If you want to understand the reasonings the Go maintainers have about generics, there is a GitHub issue[1] on it that is probably a better place to start than to argue with me. The thread references both recent academic research as well as

But Go does have polymorphism. It is achieved through the "interface" concept, which allows dynamic binding of any statically typed objects that match a given set of function signatures. In my experience, with the way it's be

The Go people don't have an aversion for generics, just a very conservative approach to adding language features. To quote their FAQ: "Generics may well be added at some point. We don't feel an urgency for them, although we u

I would assume that there is otherwise generally information asymmetry in the labour market, in the sense that employers usually have more knowledge of salaries than employees. Making good information openly available to both parties should
