No, the NTSB said that Boeing hadn't provided them with the records, not that orders for the reinstallation hadn't been made. Boeing is now trying to blame the lack of records to follow-up on on employees, even though none of the work should have been possible without the records existing in the first place.

Boeing absolutely shouldn't be trying to get out ahead of the NTSB investigation with their own deflecting interpretation of what the NTSB has uncovered and shared with Boeing, which is probably along the lines of the anonymous whistleblower from a few months ago who detailed failings in the record keeping process before the senate hearings revealed that Boeing hadn't provided the NTSB with the records (which according to the anonymous whistleblower didn't exist because they were never created)

No, terrible record keeping is exactly what caused this, according to the anonymous whistleblower: warranty work on the door was performed without any records being created for it due to boeing keeping two record keeping systems, one that was the system of record and one that was used as visibility for management.

Research puts dollar figure on climate savings from electric school buses | A substantial portion of the half-million school buses in the United States are “highly polluting old diesel vehicles” ( wapo.st )

Replacing the average diesel bus would generate a benefit of $84,200 per bus, split nearly evenly between health and climate effects. Such a replacement would cut 181 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per bus and reduce childhood deaths and asthma cases from diesel emissions, the researchers conclude....

Those numbers are colossally lower than what NYC and London came up with for transit buses ages ago (about $1.2 million/£1.7 million). I haven't looked at the article yet but it's probably due to the lower use and lower population density.

My non-adderall prescription has been on backorder for weeks.

hissingmeerkat ,

New?! This is the original area in which China excelled at producing electric vehicles. London's early electric buses were European licensed production of BYD buses (or more likely BYD licensed powertrains)

Is China even allowing electric buses to be exported yet? The last time I looked it was still going to take over a decade to replace all the buses in China, but a chunk of a decade has passed since then.

There's an old report from New York City putting the value of an electric bus at about $1.2 million, mostly the health benefits from no emissions not fuel savings. At the time there was no way for New York City to buy them because there's no way to fund transit out of healthcare when the state pays for one but not the other, there were no non-Chinese manufacturers, and then shortly after they couldn't compete with London that valued an electric bus at £1.7 million if I remember correctly, and the UK could justify funding buses based on healthcare. I think those first buses were about €600k. At the same time kneeling electric transit buses in China were about $90k, and small electric buses were $30-$40k.

We haven't deviated from the 9C path from the now ancient models.

That's not true.

It's not embroidery. It's cross stitch.

No. This is the alternate history of energy. We could have been building primarily molten salt solar plants for the last 40 years. They had similar costs to coal, fuel plants, could be built with no semiconductor manufacturing bottlenecks, provided more consistent base generation than wind, had no fuel dependencies, combustion emissions. Now photovoltaics and battery storage are cheaper, more efficient, don't require water and cooling, and work with wind as well as solar, and aren't really bottlenecked by manufacturing.

That makes as much sense as saying trans, non-binary people only need to have a satisfying, meaningful life without a vision of masculinity, femininity, or gender Identity.

hissingmeerkat ,

No. Gender Identity isn't zero sum. Things can be positive without other things being negative.

hissingmeerkat ,

I hate gender roles and assigning anything to them. But everybody deserves a positive view of the traits and ideals they identify with and everybody deserves positive examples of how to express/demonstrate the traits and ideals they identify with.

Noticing more smells and colors and flavors and sounds and being able to listen to more complicated music are all skills that we gain over our life. Identifying and identifying with traits you have or aspire to is almost certainly the same, and even if it isn't I have no place to say that someone else shouldn't think about themselves primarily as being a reproductive male (which may be devastating if that's not something they can do), and since that is a common way to see oneself, due to the importance of reproduction or due to culture or due to some aesthetic like which flavors go together, then people identifying with masculinity deserve positive views of it, and positive examples of how to express it.

Silly. The limit should be 0. You can take no gas that you don't pay for. You can vent/leak no methane except for emergencies, some tiny fraction of leak/well or pipe distance. If you flare gas you have to pay for both the gas you took and the lost utility of the gas to other users.

And that's not even getting to addressing climate issues.

Before you drive up to Minneapolis, there's nothing to do there either. Walk/bike along/over the river is probably the best thing, and you can do that in Rochester too.

It's not a literature review. It's a case report on a specific patient. It's impossible to imagine writing a discussion of your own patient in this way, or to accept an approximately 5 page article without reading it.

The journal Radiology Case Reports is refereed by an editorial board led by University of Washington professors, associate professors, and doctors of medicine.

Radiology Case Reports is an open-access journal publishing exclusively case reports that feature diagnostic imaging. Categories in which case reports can be placed include the musculoskeletal system, spine, central nervous system, head and neck, cardiovascular, chest, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, multisystem, pediatric, emergency, women's imaging, oncologic, normal variants, medical devices, foreign bodies, interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, molecular imaging, ultrasonography, imaging artifacts, forensic, anthropological, and medical-legal. Articles must be well-documented and include a review of the appropriate literature.

I don't think HIPPA applies in Jerusalem.

Everyone I've ever seen open carry a handgun has been publically abusive of the people they were with (spouse/children) and it was obvious that the open carry handgun was to make sure nobody intervened in their abuse.

What are the dangly bits under the shovel hydraulics?

Only the real cardinallity must. The integer cardinallity could have them spaced out enough that they won't collapse.

For you to do this trolley problem you'd need to be outside the real track black hole so the question becomes: do you let a trolley go into a black hole or do you switch it to an infinite track that kills an infinite number of people?

Edit: in which case the black hole must be infinitely far away and you don't even know about it. So: do you pull the switch to cause a trolley to start killing a seemingly infinite number of people? Which based on the other replies in this thread the answer is a resounding "yes"

hissingmeerkat ,

No. In any interval of the real numbers there's an uncountable infinity of real numbers. No matter how much you stretch the track any neighborhood, no matter how small, will need an infinite number of people in it.

hissingmeerkat ,

No. If you put them in order one after another you are not talking about the real numbers. There is no "next" real number and no possible way to visit them all one at a time like with the rationals.

Universal basic income and universal healthcare so I (and everybody else) don't have to worry about a job, being able to work, retirement, disability, and employers will have to offer meaning, increased quality of life, and actual respect to attract employees.
