But why is Florida in quotes?

Your last sentence should become some kind of philosophy.

I’m pretty sure “because” isn’t a reason.

Someone needs to take his Sharpie away from him. He’s been sniffing it too much.

Yes, that’s why I said let’s ignore Boeing. I’m asking for the “correct” solution to this problem.

The more I think about it, I think the adversarial nature of auditing must come from the Government side. Which is precisely why Boeing became an issue.

There is an option where independent teams of auditors review the product, and the team with the most findings gets a bonus. Perhaps this could be considered. But again, who’s job is it to ensure this overall program is safe for the public? That’s not the manufacturer, especially a corporation. We already know the courts have ruled corpos only responsibility is to current stock holders and short term gains.

Let’s ignore Boeing for a second, because this is an interesting problem. Our society rewards production and accepting that, I’m not sure getting planes “out the door” is inherently bad.

It seems to me the issue lies in how to reward the auditors. I think we’d all agree this responsibility should ultimately be a Gov’t function.. but internal quality assurance is a thing too. So, how does a company reward this team of auditors? E.x., Finding more errors naively seems like the correct metric. However, their bonus would then go down with program effectiveness- that is, fewer errors/faults based on adversarial competition between the production team and the auditing team would lead to fewer findings (presumably).

Management bonuses is a whole other issue. Then, who should oversee this entire program of rewards to ensure it’s systematically safe for the public? Assuming we accept the premise that rewards are desired.

I’m sorry, where do you get your facts? Or are you simply assuming because they are military they did not vote, or did not vote for Harris?

I’m not sure if the “this interpretation” reference is about the “preemptive defederation as a last resort” or the “lying” bit, but the first doesn’t need an interpretation because it was stated in the post:

Defederation should only be considered as a last resort. However, based on their comments and behavior, no positive outcomes can be expected. We made the decision to preemptively defederate from Hexbear for these reasons.

The “lying” bit.. I’m not sure where that comes from. It’s not the best “informed rhetoric,” that’s for sure.

Yes, thinking is boring when it’s difficult I suppose.

Holy shit dude. I read context fine. Let me spell it out for you with crayons:

  • [In the future] “It may not reach them” (This implies a possibility of failure)

  • [in the future] “it can not be stopped” (This implies an absolute probability of success)

These don’t fucking match.

  • “but it will be committed to a point where” can be replaced with “in the future”

Unless you actually meant “can not” instead of the proper “cannot”. I assumed it was a typo, but could have been a very idiotic and convoluted way to say it can [possibly] not be done.. in which case I guess you got me.

Edit: I reviewed your comment history. You’re an obvious troll or idiot. The problem is, you wouldn’t be perceptive enough to know the truth.

Your starting premise and final conclusion do not agree. There is a reason I left the middle of the sentence out: because it is irrelevant to that fact.

Maybe.. read what you wrote again? And stop using offense as your first defense.

Edit2: I’ll save you a read of my post. There is s much better article here with the needed detail why Maui was chosen: https://www.fws.gov/project/alala-project

While ‘io research continues on Hawai‘i Island, simultaneously the ‘Alalā Project is planning a pilot release on Maui to evaluate whether ‘alalā can survive and breed in wet forest habitat on east Maui—where ‘alalā or a similar crow species lived historically and there is no ‘alalā predation threat from ‘io (‘io are only present on Hawai‘i Island).

——-Original post——-

This article is [mostly] fine for a press release, but terribly lacking in details or links for more information.

Thirty of the birds were reintroduced between 2016 and 2020 in the Big Island’s Puu Makaala Natural Forest Reserve. After several successful years, alala numbers began to decline and reintroduction efforts were paused, officials said. The remaining alala were returned to human care.

(Very last paragraph)

How will Maui be different? My assumption is because Maui is a less developed island, scientists anticipate a larger quantity of compatible habitat to support a stable population.

Edit:

I found this search result from Reddit (sorry, I’m not cheating!):

Maui has more sandy beaches, is more verdant, and has both remote hiking opportunities and enormous resorts. BI is larger (duh!), is much less developed, definitely has more of a "chill" feel to it, has active volcanoes, high arid plains, and large cattle ranches as well the lush, tropical forests that you'll also find on Maui.

So.. I have no idea now.

Trump Takes Lead in 538 Simulations (projects.fivethirtyeight.com)
submitted 1 month ago by credo to c/politics
 

For the first time since 538 published our presidential election forecast for Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, Trump has taken the lead (if a very small one) over Harris. As of 3 p.m. Eastern on Oct. 18, our model gives Trump a 52-in-100 chance of winning the majority of Electoral College votes. The model gives Harris a 48-in-100 chance.

 

It’s kinda how you read the name, innit?
