Yes, that bothered me. I think I’d want to add a rule that says the final order isn’t completely decided until all players have rolled.

I suspect all the other rules plus that one would make it unsolvable at least in some cases like probably in the case of 2. It also brings to mind distributed consensus of cryptocoins (pardon for mentioning crypto :)

Retroactive, but one thing that struck me since they were overweight for landing and their fuel dump was inoperative, why not turn on the leveling pump and pump fuel out the hole in the left tank anyway? It would have lowered weight and improved balance.

I got an impression from the text that pilots were not sure the fuel levelling line does not have a leak itself. Maybe they were afraid the line can leak fuel into fuselage somehow?

They got a warning that the fuel transfer system was damaged, so they decided not to use it, I think.

Difficulty in measuring since it was machined after installation?

The oversight was at the plant.

Yes, but there are levels of oversight and this kind of thing should not be possible to hide. Someone on the official side of this messed up as well.

Because that is even worse for what he wants to allow.

Which is what, exactly? As far as I can tell, it seems more about what he wants to not allow. At the end of the day I respect an author's choice whether to close source to something even if I disagree with it, but it feels a little euphemistic to describe that as "allowing" something.

Explain how that restriction is working in the face of NPs?

We are debating the attempt to restrict supply here as a counterargument to "everyone wants to share their skill", not the success or failure of such attempts.

Much of today’s world run on FOSS that says exactly the opposite. Gnu, emacs, Linux weren’t created for money.

"Always two, there are. No more. No less. A Master and an apprentice."

Sounds great, looking into it, maybe less great. Apparently from Star Wars, about the Sith :)

> The Rule of Two did away with Sith Academies. From your very first steps into the Dark Side, you work with your Master and only your Master. You are not responsible to other Dark Side users. You are not expected to delve into the secrets of the Dark Side and give that knowledge to Force-users other than your Master (or hide it from him). You're expected to do what you can to keep other potential Force-wielders from usurping your position, including kill them. You're expected to learn what your Master teaches you, but also to hide from him in order to overtake him.

Ideally your real-life experience with apprenticeship has been/will be slightly different than this!


risk aversion is driving wisdom.

Rule #1 - never go if you can’t see.

And apples are oranges.

Sorry they are completely different traits. They can go hand in hand or support each other in certain individual, or they can manifest similarly, but its far from being a general rule.


That’s how you start with emacs but as you need to do more complex actions emacs will be able to support you so your skills will grow if you keep using it.

Yeah, but before I am proficient in the more elaborate stuff, there is no reason to use emacs, so I never do it. And there is no tutorial for this.
