>> Following this serious incident, the operator introduced a daily check to ensure adult females were referred to as Ms on the relevant documentation, with a secondary check by Operations staff against passenger loads. A more formal system of checks was introduced on 24 July 2020.

Surely the solution is to fix the software? Miss is the 'appropriate' title for an unmarried woman or girl. Why not have a person select 'adult' or 'child' when booking (I'm pretty sure most airlines I fly with do this already).
Geez this sounds exactly like my job.

Senior SE at a large southern university. Nice and slow, but underpaid.
I don't think anyone is confusing a 737 with a 737 Max. The issue here is that bad check-in software caused a serious incident.

Mine (a TP-Link RE-200) can do anything you want with it. If you add it to a OneMesh network, these settings are (sensibly) disabled and synced from the root node (the router).
Ha, I totally agree with this. I have seen so many of those big empty buses with just 1 or 2 people in them. Perhaps self-driving cars and autonomous vehicles will be the solution to this.
> If ◻P means "P is a proposition that is formally provable within some implicit formal system" (perhaps there should be a subscripted letter to show which formal system because there are an infinite number of them)

It doesn't mean that. The formal system is explicit: it's the system we're using to write statements like `◻P` (it's a form of modal logic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_logic ).
Anecdote: When I was in a history graduate program, part of our training was a "written exam" based on a list of 200+ required books (and several hundred more recommended ones). There literally was not time to read every book, so we all got a crash course in how academics read -- get the author's argument from the intro/conclusion, then get the structure/evidence/case studies by skimming the chapter list. By the end, I was able to "read" a book in about 30 minutes, but there was no way I could actually _read_ the book. The goal was to spend as much time as possible reading primary sources, not books, because that was the "value-add" for an academic historian.
In bed before going to sleep.

No distractions, comfortable position (obviously you would need some pillows), and it helps wind down your brain. In the weekend you can also pick up the book again in the morning if you wish. The benefit: you sleep there every day, so you can read a bit every day.

I don't use a smartphone, so no computer in bed means no incoming messages or time-sinks available at the touch of a button; I would recommend leaving the smartphone in another room or having a set routine of placing it in some kind of zero disturbance (or call only) night setting. Whatever works to stop you from grabbing it for some more mindless scrolling in bed. The time you use for reading must come from somewhere, so cut down on the low-value entertainment (this may be hard, I don't know).

Going to bed is something to look forward to when your book is there waiting for you once it is part of your routine. A good book beats starting another episode on Netflix once you've found the genres or writers that work for you.
Yes, but T-cells learn to distinguish self from non-self in the thymus, and I don't believe this treatment alters the hemoglobin gene sequence in the thymal epithelial cells. Of course, the thymus, like the rest of the body, will be served by red blood cells containing the new hemoglobin gene, but I'm not sure if this alone is sufficient for immature T-cells in the thymus to learn it as a self protein.
Why do you think they are downvoted? To me, it comes across as pretentious grandstanding, but I also understand the sentiment. I've not been using hacker news for very long, so I'm not familiar with what was posted 5+ years ago
What is a state-given name?
That's not what censorship means. Actual censorship, which was seen in Eastern and Central Europe and some other places during communism meant that you're literally not allowed to say certain things. You'd be prosecuted by the government if someone reported you or the government found out in any way that you were spreading certain kind of "forbidden" ideas. It didn't matter where you said it, when you said it, to how many people you said it, and if you used your own platform to say it or someone else's. It was simply not allowed.

What Americans call censorship is not that. Anyone who is banned from a particular platform still has freedom of speech. They can say whatever they want to whoever they want without the fear of government prosecution. If Twitter bans someone, it doesn't mean that the banned person can't speak somewhere else. Everyone has a right to moderate their private property which includes digital space. Although banned from Twitter and some other platforms, Trump didn't lose his freedom of speech. He can say whatever he wants. It's just that he will need an alternative way to reach a big audience because major companies specializing in providing big audiences don't want to provide him their services.
Swap out a few nouns in the comment and you have a comment describing why the left shouldn’t be allowed to engage in public discourse either due to all of the support given to the BLM riots over the summer.

The fact that people seem to be honestly blind to how dangerous this line of reasoning is legitimately astonishes me.
Don't forget GA - Dems won full control, and will now have at least some ability to legislate. So Twitter et al need to be thinking about how to get ahead of the complaints that the left has against section 230 (the left hates it because they are not forced to aggressively moderate, the right hates it because they are allowed to moderate at all). This was not looking likely to be something they had to worry about until the surprise sweep in Georgia, so I'd argue that may have played as big a role as the craziness in DC.
The biggest Mastodon federation instance is now Gab (far-right social media platform).
Courts have looked at this a few times. Some of the cases were dismissed for lack of evidence, not pure procedural matters.

At least one case was even dismissed due to lack of concrete allegations.

Their belief that nobody will listen to their evidence is just another part of their fantasy, another part of the complex of lies.
There's a bot (https://twitter.com/TrumpsAlert) which was intended to track Trump unfollows and it appears around 6% of ~500 people Rudy Giuliani follows had their accounts suspended today. I was surprised to see Ben Garrison on that list since I'm old enough to remember when the left liked his cartoons. It's like that scene where Catelyn Stark talks about what will happen if Robb fails.
>Was a survey performed as people were entering the grounds?

No. But an inventory of some of those who left the grounds in handcuffs was performed. And various types of weapons, police-style zip ties and molotov cocktails were found.

Dozens were injured, five people are dead, one of them beaten to death.

Offices were trashed, items stolen and the seat of our government was vandalized.

You don't need a crystal ball to draw conclusions from that.

I also wonder what it would be like to give more power to the states, and strip power from federal government so the states can have more power to manage themselves.
I think Google's results have become dramatically worse, and I've become better at DDG. I now often find it difficult or impossible to find what I want on Google, and straightforward on DDG. I also use the bangs all the time now, they're great.
Right, which makes it a deal-breaker for almost all use cases. Plus, I'd guess that it's almost always less effort to optimize the DOM-based approach than to (poorly) reimplement all of that browser functionality in canvas.
My guess, from ignorance: the volumes are way lower vs traditional tablets, thinning margins and driving retail price up.

Niche devices almost always cost more.

I explored this in a blog post that summarized a research article written by one James Montier:

http://thirtytwothousanddays.com/blog/2010/05/the-things-tha...

I wrote the following:

1. Exercise, connect with friends, have sex, sleep, and be grateful. A lot. Seriously, do all of these things as much as you can! (although perhaps not all at the same time :) )

2. Find work that you love and are good at, or are able to become good at. (This will almost certainly be aligned in some way with your inner purpose.)

3. Live in and enjoy the moment, and make nothing a means to an end. (A regular practice of meditation can you help do this.)

4. Take responsibility for your life, and set achievable goals.

5. Don’t worry too much about getting rich - more income and wealth don’t greatly increase your happiness level, once you have reached a basic level of comfort appropriate to the community around you.

None of it was really "OH MY GOD, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!" kind of stuff... but the reminder is useful sometimes when doing strategic life planning.

The original paper was found here [pdf] http://www.trendfollowing.com/whitepaper/happiness.pdf
Agreed. They could become an amazing conduit for innovation if they switched their pricing model to being subscription-based by account, or per-user within the account.

Either way, it needs to be a flat fee. The per-minute price point sucks because because for webapps, they would need to pass that cost on directly to the customers, and it would be variable, and customers would never pay it.

Imagine if your application was some sort of dialer app, and you wanted to use twilio for transcription. To connect, users click on a number in your app, twilio dials you, then dials the contact you are calling. That's cool, but if you have a customer doing that 10 hours a day all day, there's no way they would pay $.06/minute for that. No way.

Twilio, you listening? Get a subscription-based pricing model now and watch as the flood gates open!
Or litigate.
hi madmaze,

Yes, GV is great for consumers, but we built OpenVBX for businesses, and it's hackable so you can customize it fully. Check it out, would love feedback!

Wow, nice find - Was it intended ?
Apologies for the pedantry I display below, but your comment is so full of errors that I got riled up. Again, apologies, I'm sure you were just trying to add interesting information for other hackers.

'::' is not a punctuation symbol, at least not in English. It is two of the same symbol (colon) in succession.

Now in Hebrew, it may be considered a single symbol (though a cursory google makes me think Paamayim Nekudotayim might just be the Hebrew term for 'double-colon'). If Paamayim Nekudotayim were a single symbol in Hebrew, the term has certainly not migrated to English, at least outside the PHP community.

In programming languages, it is commonly used as a scope resolution operator, and dates back to C++ at least. In PHP, they often call it Paamayim Nekudotayim. But this does not mean that you would be correct to come across the syntax in a C++ source file and call it Paamayim Nekudotayim.

So to summarize:

- it is not a punctuation symbol
- if it were, it would not be called that in English
- it very likely isnt a single symbol in Hebrew
- it is the scope resolution operator is _some_ languages
- in those languages, it is not called Paamayim Nekudotayim, except in PHP.

(and after that rant, I fully expect to be proved wrong on some of those claims, which I will deserve).

... yeah literally changes nothing.

Bone stock vs track prepped literally makes no difference (for the record my car is as track prepped as it really needs to be for the events I run and my goals on consumables, coilovers, roll bar, upgraded intercooler, fuel injectors for E85, ultralight brake kit)

I mean subie bros are out there running race clutches in street cars for no reason other than to say they do (even if they’ll never admit that).

None of this has anything at all to do with the fact simulators let you practice _a lot_ of very important lessons.

Saying “nothing transfers” is 100% an ego play, because you’re really saying “oh yeah racing lines and all that textbook stuff is meaningless it’s all about if you can push it with the nerves of steel when you’ve got tens of thousands on the line in damages and possible injury”

... I mean there are people who unironically think that, but having those fundamentals that a sim can and will leapfrog you over someone starting from scratch.

Even just learning the track layout and markers is an incredible advantage that you can find in a realistic sim (and the friend I mentioned who treats racing much more like a science project than I have the time or funds to does this)

I mean, otherwise in what universe would someone be able to be compete in Spec Miata as their first door-to-door racing experience ever and not make a mess of literally everything:

It's a wonderful classic BASIC that even supports goodies like peek(), poke and call(), access to the serial port, graphics, pen input and more.

There were also C compilers (OnboardC), Forth implementations (Quartus Forth), a Scheme (LispMe) - all enabled by the robust text input capabilities of the device.

Yup can concur it is like that in Canada. I never understood it. The 10's are weird two. Onze, douze, treize, quatorze, quinze and seize for 11-16(sorry the spelling's likely wrong.) Then dix-sept, dix-huit, dix-neuf(10 7, 10 8 10 9) for 17-19. Then the 20's and up just the 10's column number style.
>Edit to add: HOSTNAME INCLUDES THE FULL SERIAL. I thought I'd take a second look at this and just pulled up the client info for the PW2 Gateway on my network, and hostname is 11XXXXX-00-J--S$(SERIAL). So no local physical access it required, the gateway itself just broadcasts the whole serial, which in light of this is an, interesting, decision. I can confirm that using the hostname with an added S at the front (so on mine serial was T[...], I used the password ST[...]) I was able to connect to the WiFi spot, and in turn to the management page described. Incredible.

this is staggeringly irresponsible design! thanks for the confirmation

Exactly. If the SSID was “Password=BSSID MAC” and the password _was_ the MAC address of the BSSID device, I suppose it would technically be unique. This is barely more secure than that, IMO.

sendfile() still requires CPU time - it just passes the job of sending the data over the socket to the kernel to finish up. The previous method would have been a select() loop or similar that ensured the data was sent out to the kernel, involving a bunch of system calls and context swtiches.
sendfile lets you hand the job off 100% to the kernel and have your thread move on.

But asking for a theory can help the situation, that was my point. Of course demanding a theory even in the face of repeated findings isn't helpful, but encouraging a theory, or giving "bonus points" for a theory is, I think, a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

Yes, this is in the article in question, after the interview of a bunch of Palestinian Middle-East Experts - unclear to me what that title stands for exactly - they also interview a Palestinian Health Ministry official at the very end of the article:

> The Palestinian Authority has not commented on the news. But up until the latest announcement, no vaccines had reached Palestinians except those living in East Jerusalem or working in the Palestinian hospitals there.

> Palestinians expect first large vaccine shipments in March

> The Palestinian Authority expects to receive its first shipments of independently-procured vaccines in March.

> Yasser Bouzia, a Palestinian Health Ministry official, told CNBC that the PA is currently finalizing a bilateral agreement with AstraZeneca for 2 million doses of its U.K.-developed vaccine. It expects to receive another 2 million vaccine doses through COVAX, a global scheme that was established to ensure equitable vaccine access globally.

> “That will cover almost the majority of the population. And after that we will look for other sources to have another almost 1 million people to be vaccinated, because we are aiming to vaccinate almost 5.2 million people,” Bouzia said.

> Until then, infections are still spreading, despite government-imposed restrictions.
>A single bitcoin transaction (amortized) uses as much electricity as an entire house uses (on average) in more than 2 days.

That could be true, but how much energy does the finance world consumes through all the quantitative easings and other shenanigans? I doubt it's even possible to burn that worth of energy in electricity.
Your concern is a small one, considering how bad it is to go anywhere near any Facebook product (which includes Instagram), or how irresponsible it is to let children do so.

Facebook is known to be consistently harmful to mental health and privacy, while providing no benefit whatsoever. It is a net negative to society. There's no defending it.

I have never successfully seen, or even seen attempted, a sell that the republic be superseded by a monarch, and the orator be put on the throne with special privileges.

Oh that's so sad. Personally I never used Pascal/Delphi because I was barred from using a computer (because my father thought I'd just play games instead of learning anything useful) until late into the 90s and I was not in a CS major, but my father used it extensively as he worked as Math-turned-CS professor in a University and Pascal was pretty popular at the time.

I also read the book about Borland vs Microsoft and kind of feeling sorry that Pascal/Delphi didn't make it.

Just a question, say I wanna develop a 2d map editor for Windows 10, does Delphi win over C# in the sense of RAD?
Nowadays, I mainly run Linux in a VM - being it WSL2 on Windows, or a plain old Ubuntu VM on macOS.

I do so because of the Linux ecosystem, not the operating system. For instance, the package managers are way better than anything that macOS and Windows currently offer, and Docker is nice for local development.

I really don’t care about the operating system itself. I just need a nice UNIX-like experience, and Linux seems to offer the best one.

As one of the locked up people in Italy, I don't think it is completely true. The media did quite a nice job at cherry picking the bad apples. But if we go by the number of fines levied for breaking the rules, it's around 45K (figure taken from a day). A drop in the bucket compared to the population that's staying at home.

And it's still not clear why the people were fined: were they breaking intentionally the rules, or were they not in possession of the required documents? (You have to go around with a piece of paper stating wh you're out of your house, and if not found truthful you risk a fine and an arrest).
You can do a lot online with the DMV, but not everything.
