In Toronto, the 427 is ~100m from the edge of 24R.

You're making an assumption that the outcome would have been different if that wall wasn't there. You're wrong. 50m past that wall is another wall, 5m after that is a highway.

The wall is a red herring. The plane landed halfway down the runway at high speed. Something bad is going to happen if you do that at any runway on earth. In SFO you'll end up in the bay or hit the terminal depending on the orientation

Canadians who visit any major American city for a day think we're basically the same. Canadians who visit for a year think we are totally different.

I believe the speaker, when saying that physicists have stopped asking "what is matter", means that physicists have focused themselves on questions about the rules that govern matter and energy, and not on the question of what mea

We need to ban the word "conscious" until people can agree on what it means. That being said, its obvious to me that many animals have similar emotional complexity to humans, and many outperform humans on some cognitive tasks. Hum

I suspect this is a reference to a famous privacy-related module in the facebook codebase circa 2010ish, which had a docstring something like "DO NOT TOUCH. YOU WILL BE FIRED". Could be a cultural holdover from when react was an i

Silicon Valley culture encourages lying and some of its leaders are the biggest liars. I am more willing to believe that SBF is an earnest product of this culture who got in over his head and caused damage, than that he is some kind of medi

Sam is a crook, no doubt, but even now I find him a funny figure. His trial defence was awful. He sincerely believes he was trying to do the right thing, so spent his time on the stand defending his actions at length, instead of keeping his

Yes. The bet is still that the airlines can find viable routes to fly with a vehicle that creates sonic booms.

I say this all as a YIMBY who is very happy to see 20k new units added to vancouver: something feels off about the plans for the Jericho lands but I can't describe it. I feel like when you have these mega developments where 10 condos g

Over what time period did you get 57 sales? If it was in a month or two, that's still excellent growth starting from zero. Do you have any insights about the type of people who paid money for it? I would start from that image of your c

It's clear that OpenAI has become something that it wasn't intended to be at it's founding. Maybe that change happened for good reasons, but the fact that there was a change is not in doubt.

This is true in a sense but also it isn't. Our institutions spend a lot of resources on preventing things from happening, are successful, and the people who work in these institutions get a paycheque every month. One could frame the en

There’s no conflict between the facts that married people as a population are happier, and also that allowing people to leave marriages also makes them happier.

I was with you until chinese contested amphibious landing in occupied gaza. China’s big picture strategy is to grow while not being drained by small conflicts the way the US is. This would be totally against that strategy.

The RCMP is an extremely troubled police force (like many). There was a mass shooting event in 2020 in rural Nova Scotia, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the RCMP response made Uvalde look good in comparison. RCMP officers attacke

But did they ever even cover their costs? If a business is stable for its current size, and then VCs push you to grow and that kills the company, then yes, that company was killed by VC pressures. However, AFAIK, ello never made much money

Regardless where they get their weapons, Ansar Allah is a battle-hardened, professional fighting force. They have fought the powerful Saudi military to a stalemate. Not a group we should be underestimating.
