It depends on the sensor. Some sensors 'fail safe' in that they either give a valid result or an out of range result that the system using the measurement can identify.
Most sensors do not, unless they have been explicitly designed that way.
The one failure in 100,000 seems very lax for allowing non redundant operation. It something can break and kill everyone once every 100,000 flights, wouldn't we notice? I suspect that wasn't described very well in TFS.
In life critical applications (in this case automotive), I always went for triplicated sensors and once had to threaten to resign, rather than sign off on a single sensor design that the bosses preferred because it's cheaper. This was in Europe, where I would have been personally responsible when that sensor failed and killed the driver.
"superior" to all others. --> Judged by the criteria I stated.
Nicer clothes aren't nicer when they aren't actually available in a size that fits.
I could waste my time finding trousers from some name brand with a waist to fit, but then it would be only available in either too-long or too-short and I'd have to go and get them adjusted.
Not sure where you got "wanting expensive clothes" from that. Do you always infer false things from things that say nothing of the sort? It may be a identifiable condition - like SlashdotMoronItis.
Amazon's men's clothes - for normal clothes, like trousers and t-shirts are simply superior to non Amazon alternatives. They're constructed fine, but more importantly, they have all the sizes and leg lengths available. This is not true for pretty munch any other brand. Either they don't make it or they don't have the combinations for whatever size you need, unless you land right in the middle of the population distribution.
Key size doesn't help with public key crypto. Shor's attack is a logarithmic speed up. Key size helps with the Grover attack for symmetric crypto since it's a square root speed up, but that wasn't the topic of TFA.

Jesus, H. I fit their demographic, but there's no way I would sign up to that sort of misery party. There's nothing new in tech, they just keep moving the deck chairs in ever smaller circles.
I've been led to thinking that it will never be feasible. We don't know yet, but there are good reasons to think it might not pan out - for breaking crypto.
E.G. The energy required to cool a volume of space for an n-qbit machine to temps that will maintain entanglement between the qbits will scale with 2^n. So you spend just as much energy doing it in parallel on a quantum computer as you would in a classical computer serially. This isn't known to be true, but try plotting the size of fridge against n for existing quantum computers and see what the curve looks like.

You can't achieve the isolation from the surrounding universe (which is kind of the same thing).

Where I work, they send out fake phishing emails and provide a 'report phish' button in Outlook. Reporting real ones trains the system on what to filter and failing to report fake ones trains I.T. on who needs training.
It isn't the same either. In the US, we've had a parade of bad 'UK TV' streaming services and channels. BBC America on cable was the worst - known primarily for showing the middle 4 of an 8 show series and non-British shows.
Britbox is the latex on Netflix. There were others. They tend to host one or two shite blockbusters (Downton Effing Abbey and Baking competitions) and very little else of value.
None of them give the 'BBC experience' as is is/was in the UK, with the regular cadence of the 9 o-clock news, the shipping report to tell you you should be in bed by now, the occasional nudity after 9.00pm and other minutiae. Not one of the services has ever offered the 9 o-clock news, which is arguably, the central product of the BBC.
>After that comes the modern paedagogicak science and starts selling various snake oils, like teaching and learning styles, nurture, etc.. which is false.
Nope. A lot of the recent science was fine and the bad stuff is easily identified. There are good and bad ways to teach and we know better what they are than we did in renaissance times. It is known how to teach people across the social spectrum. I described a situation where my wife succeeded with the supposedly most 'unteachable' demographic. What didn't happen is any of it getting deployed in a consistent fashion by states, school districts or even schools.
It's simple stuff too. Kids learn from each other more than from the teacher. If the teacher facilitates that learning and teaches enough to maximize the learning rate between kids, maximum learning is done.
If children are stratified into age groups and ability group, the inter-child learning is minimized.
If the teacher loses control of the class, or controls so tightly that all they do is interact with the teacher, then it'll be the same old distribution of the lucky ones with the opportunities outside school doing the best and everyone else struggling.
If procedure is taught over understanding, then students hit a brick wall at college.
Yet we see the uninformed confusing the confirmation-bias of selected 'better' children doing better for better teaching. It isn't. They just have easy kids to teach.
We see schools continuing to ability group - under pressure from parents who want to carve out an isolated 'better' group for their special snowflakes to be in. In fact that was a central result from my wife's research - that placement of children in ability streams was almost always determined by other things than the child's intrinsic abilities - a teacher or parent pushing that child and pushing the school to place them highly. Here's an explanatory paper derived from the same research. http://groundedtheoryreview.co... . I know the statistics in the thesis are sound because I checked it and I wrote the R code.
The ci-co=weight delta, that does not show the arrows of causation.
What changes CI? Hunger. What changes hunger? Exercise, Hormones, superoxide satiety signalling from the reverse electron transport at the mitochondrial boundary when processing saturated fats.
What changes hormones? The diet composition of carbs, protein, different fat types, different sugar types, sunlight,
What changes CO? Exercise using calories, hormones driving body temperature, hormones signaling muscle building etc.
So exercise alone isn't enough. It increases CO and CI. So doesn't help much. You must also change your diet to change hormones and satiety signals so CI reduces and CO increases.
Did anyone review the actual coursework to determine which set of professors were grading more fairly?
They could have both graded fairly. According to the summary, the students felt less motivated and didn't work as hard in the "fixed-mindset" classes. So they may have gotten worse grades because they failed to learn as much and actually deserved worse grades.
The importance of teachers and parents on student achievement, independent of a student's supposed intrinsic intelligence, is confirmed by a whole generation of education research. Education researchers are not common on Slashdot, but my wife was one, after being a math teacher and has a PhD in mathematics education. One trick she pulled while doing research in a central Oregon reservation was to stand in for a pregnant teacher for a term (she was there and still had her teaching license, so why not?). The class which for all time had hit a 100% failure fate (to pass standardized exams), magically attained a 100% pass rate for that term and fell back to a 100% fail rate after she left.
Pedagogy research has been done. The results tell how teaching should happen. If you know the research and apply the conclusions, students will succeed. A problem is that this is consistently not done in most schools. Schools still get bogged down in stupid stuff like ability tracking and age delineation. They clearly are broadly ignorant of the results of education research.
Slashdot Mirror
Are you taking into account all the meteors that would have flown by a flat earth if they encountered it edge-on?
The reptile overlords would never send edge on meteors, since they can't be seen at the horizon and so would serve no purpose in fooling the populace.

I'd be concerned if the plane I was in was climbing vertically.
Did you read my words? Clearly not. I didn't blame the doctor at all. I blamed Kaiser.
Naw, Kaiser Permanente is a great system. Lower cost but with good care and preventative medicine.
I have a family member who worked for Kaiser and quit in disgust at their unsafe care practices.
It's Kaiser Permanente. What did you expect? Resources wasted seeing a patient in person, when they were going to quit paying fees in a few days anyway?
