That was the only complete airframe missing, but couldn't there be lost repair parts?

Container ships lose something like 10000 containers at sea annually. Some of those break open and spill their contents. I'd guess that most major airlines stock repair parts in their maintenance centers, and so such parts are shipped across the oceans, and so could get lost at sea.

If, say, Air New Zealand ordered some 777 flaperons to stock their maintenance center, and those got lost in the Indian Ocean, would Air New Zealand just file an insurance claim and order more flaperons from Boeing, and everyone would generally forget about the lost flaperons drifting about in the area?

Or is there some registry or database or some such that tracks these things so that people looking for lost aircraft can check it and find what kind of lost parts they need to be careful to watch out for so that those parts won't mislead their search?

That is an extremely weird idea for me. How can that possibly make financial sense for the employer, in the 21st century? I can see it working out a couple generations ago when people used to stick with one or two jobs for their entire career, but seriously, I've had three jobs in my career that barely lasted more than 50 weeks start to finish, and in only one case - a job I had for seven years - does it seem at all likely that the company could have amortized out the cost of a year-long vacation and still come out ahead.

Amortized across an entire society, sure, it could work, but unless I'm totally misunderstanding the way Canada's system is set up, it seems like it's really bad luck for whichever employer gets stuck with the hot potato when someone decides to have a kid.
Who else do you put in this category?
2.) looking things up.

Well, shit. Is this even possible in web development these days? With the exception of jQuery, there hasn't been a single JS or backend framework that I've used from one year to the next.
You get the benefit of children in 30-40 years when you retire and those children pay your Social Security and Medicare (or whatever government programs might be equivalent wherever you are; and all this after decades of hard work by the parents), and you get the benefit of parental leave right now by not having to deal with sleep-deprived, angry zombies in your workspace. ;)

On balance, you're coming out ahead, not the new parents.
you're right, I never thought about it actually, funding is always helpful I guess, on can use money for ads and marketing expenses which can accelerate the growth process.
But sometimes the availability of funding leads to uncontrolled spending and waste.
My advice goes one step further: Don't do user generated content without an ejection plan, a means to extract all the money and shut the doors instantly should you catch the eye of the mpaa or their ilk.
I'm a child free person as well. I would really love to see tech companies offer short sabbatical periods. Knowing the people in the tech community, that time would almost certainly be put to good use: learning new skills, and finishing up backlogged personal projects.

Sabbatical could be a benefit that kicks in after several years, and any parental leave before that time would just be subtracted.

recap: http://keccak.noekeon.org/fips202final.html
It's worth what it's worth. Salaries are high enough that it's not hard to contribute the max. I'd LOVE to have a 401k match, because I'm already maxed out. 100% match would be $9,000 per year straight into my pocket. (Well, minus taxes, I suppose, since that particular $9,000 would now be taxed).
> * But pick a major that will pay for itself, and try not to rack up $50k in student loans

I think this is a societal issue rather than an education issue.

We're so quick to encourage people to achieve a degree in whatever makes them happy, even say Art History or Medieval European History, knowing full well that the prospects of gaining a decent paying job after school is practically zero.

How does that Art History major repay a $30K student loan when they can realistically only get a $30K a year salaried job?

Should't we as a society encourage people to major in things that will pay off in the end? Or instead deny loans to degree programs that statistically are turning out far too many candidates for a very small field (leading to massive unemployment for that degree program)?
If it doesn't change behavior it's not incentivizing, that simple.
2000 people earn over $10m a year because capital gains aren't considered income. If you consider capital gains income, that number changes significantly. Also, why would you use $100m per person? It should be 90% of earnings over $1m and 95% of earnings over $4m.

Your comments are typical drivel that go on top of a meme. You should consider applying to work in Fox News' statistic department

> Correct me if I'm wrong, but when people talk about restoring income equality, at least in this country, they're unintentionally pining for the days when the United States middle class earned more, at the expense of the rest of the working world.

You are wrong. I'm not talking about restoring anything back to the 1950s. I'm talking about real solutions to the problems we face today, like ensuring education is affordable and available to everyone. Ensuring that every citizen has the right to have access to our healthcare system. etc. etc.

It's not about having the middle class earn more, it's about the poor not being treated like complete shit in the US. The proper measure for a society is how we treat those who cannot provide for themselves. We're failing bigtime in America.
What doesn't make sense to me about that line of thinking is why even keep working? Why not work for a year, save money, and then live in your van wherever just doing whatever?

If you could save $75k of the $135k salary, you could go a very long time living in a van in somewhere like South Dakota.
Tools, man. Where do you keep your table saw when you're living in a van?
That's not allowable under law. The max is $18k (unless you're subject to the catch-up provisions over age 50 or 55 or whatever it is).

Dude, there are Bluetooth mice that are incompatible with current versions of OS X.

Let that sink in.

Apple screwed up their Bluetooth stack so badly that it is incompatible with a mouse. Something which has been in the Bluetooth standard forever. Something which is solely dependent upon their software because they use the same chip as everybody else.

That is beyond a bug. That's contempt for the end user.
Not countering your point (since it speaks to the loss of an employee for time), but a primary difference between Canada and the US is who pays. I think that is a point many articles fail to mention when comparing, and they put too much focus on the loss of time.

In Canada the parental leave money comes from the government. For Microsoft and in the US, the company is paying 100% of it. If the government pulls the plug on this benefit in Canada, I predict you'd see significantly fewer parental benefits offered by the companies.
Fine advice for experts, surely. Those who recognize they are blind should copy. Copying Tufte seems like a reasonable way to open their eyes and save everyone else's.
You're absolutely right on all counts.

The first use of carbon composites for commercial aircraft structures was the A310/A320 vertical tail. The A320's horizontal tails also used carbon composites. The A320 Neo uses carbon composites to an even higher degree to try to reduce weight and improve fuel economy.
That's strange I'm Dutch, living in Germany and don't have these issues with my Dutch Visa card. You do know you can change your country/App Store country? I can even hop between country store and use different visas per store.
"This is scary, as the higher-precision guidance and adjustable lower yields make it more likely to be used"

Nuclear weapons with much, much smaller yields have been in the US arsenal for a long time (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W54 for an example of one with a yield of 10 tons of TNT, as compared to the 300 ton minimum claimed in the article for the B61-12) and we haven't used them in war, so I don't see how this one is any different in that respect.

Furthermore, the "high-precision" argument is also not convincing. You can make an argument -- dubious, but it can be made -- that existing precision conventional weapons are more likely to be used because it's possible to destroy an enemy target even if it's located right next door to noncombatants. But even at its lowest setting, the B61-12 would completely destroy dozens of square blocks and cause additional damage dozens farther out; there's no way that wouldn't lead to massive civilian casualties if it was used in a city.

> This article (and book) seems pre-occupied with trying to tell you that everything we've learned up to this point is entirely wrong

Not at all. It's trying to communicate that everything we've learned has/had been completely ignored in general education. That is, the book is ambitiously trying to summarize much of several decades of scientific research that had not been very accessible, and was mostly unknown to the general public. It does an excellent job at providing an overview of what is known.
That sounds great dang, thanks for continuing to work on it even if there was a backlash.

Hi dang,

Sorry about that. I'm curious, though, if you see a lot of user flags on the initial submissions I made for this article. I suspect that there are users here who will flag every story that discusses climate change, thus preventing HN users from ever discussing the topic. The initial submissions got 10+ points in less than 30 minutes, far more than other stories on the front page - but they never made it to even page 3 of HN. I'm wondering why.

Sorry again, and thanks.

ICANN has been hacked
Reset ICANN.org Website Login Password
05 August 2015

We are writing to inform you that ICANN has reason to believe that within the last week, usernames/email addresses and encrypted passwords for profile accounts created on the ICANN.org public website were obtained by an unauthorized person.

These profile accounts contain your user preferences for the website, public bio, interests, newsletter subscriptions, etc. There is no evidence that any profile accounts were accessed or that any internal ICANN systems were accessed without authorization. While investigations are ongoing, the encrypted passwords appear to have been obtained as a result of unauthorized access to an external service provider.

You are receiving this notice because your email address/username and encrypted password for ICANN.org may have been compromised. The encrypted password is not easy to reverse, but as a precaution we are requiring that you reset your password. When you next visit our site, go to the login page and click the forgot password link: https://www.icann.org/users/password/new - to create your new password.

Most importantly, if you have used the same password on other websites or services, you should change it immediately on those other websites or services. As a general matter, you should avoid reusing passwords across multiple sites.

No operational information, financial data or IANA systems were involved.

If you would like further assistance or information, you may contact us at - icannorg-support@icann.org.
This notice was not delayed as a result of a law enforcement investigation.

Thank you for your attention to this. Again, we deeply apologize for any inconvenience or concern this incident may cause you.

It might have a bearing on whether or not they want to work at MS and have kids. Too easy for engineers to just go over to another company. Policies like this give MS a leg up over the likes of Amazon.
No, those posts weren't affected by flags at all. There is a penalty on rollingstone.com by default, though, as is the case with many sites that produce occasional substantive articles along with a lot of fluff. We review most of those and take the penalty off on the substantive ones.
It doesn't really work like that. Total Stock Market index funds are fine investments, which hold around 4000 US stocks. And since they are usually market-cap weighted, your exposure to each small-cap stock is small, so pump and dump isn't a real concern.
Hmm okay good question -

1. We wanted to keep it simple (1 login vs 2)
2. We thought that in general people care more about their facebook friends than their linkedin friends (contacts?) so we chose fb instead of linkedin.
3. LinkedIn also locked down their api so you can't get contacts unless they are also on the app.
I had one article up on the front page for a while, and I am pretty sure no one else cared to submitted because it's on a really obscure subject, and I didn't bother getting my "vote ring" involved in it :) Though I am pretty sure that having lot's of friends in SF with HN accounts would help get up on the first page. I wonder if HN monitors for this and ignores up votes if they notice a distinct pattern.
It keeps on being strange that Steve, just one man, had so much influence on quality control. I find it mind boggling.

> > US's absurdly low income tax rates for the wealthy

The wealthy aren't so because of earnings (wages subject to income and payroll taxes), so its not so much low or high as a non-sequitur.

If you accept that computation is universal, then yes, you could definitely achieve human-like understanding through means that are completely different from the actual human wet-ware.

It might not be very efficient... but it's certainly possible. If the universe is isomorphic to a Turing machine, then the human brain certainly is. If that is so, then it is possible in principle to create a human-like machine with any other Turing-complete machine. It just might take you a billion years to simulate one second of human brain activity.
Could you elaborate? What struck me was the limitation to two levels of section/subsection. Perhaps I'm deluding myself, but I think I prefer my information in clearly layered abstractions, with the presentation following the contours of the abstractions.

Ask HN: US citizens, do you use an offshore account?
I realize this might be a strange question for HN but I also think there are a lot of intelligent people here who typically make pretty good money so I thought I'd throw it out there.

I've been researching opening up an offshore account as a way of breaking the "all of your eggs in one basket" situation a lot of us are currently in. After seeing what happened in Greece and getting a better understanding of just what our financial situation is as a country I would like to start putting some money away into an offshore account, possibly in a country that might be a retirement location. I am not looking to evade the IRS or hide money away, I just want to remove my current single point of failure if you will :)
In researching this topic it seems as if this has become quite difficult in recent years due to some regulations put in place making it less than beneficial for other countries to open up accounts for US citizens.

So my question is: if you are a US Citizen with an offshore account, have you had any issues with it? If so, has it been worth the trouble? Was it a hassle to setup (using a 3rd party, large initial deposit, etc)? Any alternatives outside of "hard goods" like silver or gold?

It seems most sites out on the web that discuss this topic want to sell you an e-book or a website subscription so any real-world experience would be great. And yes, I get that this is a great question for a financial advisor...

If you don't know where to look it can take a surprisingly long time to find things like: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/....

You're incorrect. Employers are allowed to contribute to an employee's 401K plan up to a $53,000 combined limit. The $18K limit applies only to employee contributions.
> The top 25% earn 67% of the income and pay 86% of the taxes.

That may be about right if you mean "the top 25% of people in terms of income subject to income tax" and "of the taxes" you mean "of income taxes", which aren't even the only tax on labor income (or even the most significant tax on labor income for a large proportion of the workforce.)

OTOH, the top 25% of income-subject-to-income-tax earners aren't even approximately what most people mean when they say "the rich", and the issues raised with the fairness of the tax system aren't limited to income tax, but to the structure of the tax system and what taxes things are subject to at all.
"Since then there has been a lot of movement on the web application front but none of those has resulted in an open protocol for more than one vendor (or open source projects) to implement."

I know of several RFCs that are in the process of being created/approved that specifically detail protocols over REST/JSON. Probably the most impressive is the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) [1].

In general I agree with the sentiment of the OP - that we should have more standardized protocols if HTTP is going to be the new TCP. I should also mention that HTML is a data specification for pages transported via HTTP, so there's definitely precedence.

Oh, okay. Thank you for the information on that, I was wondering why such a popular story was being so heavily penalised. Would you consider unpenalizing this submission with the correct link? The article is very high quality and well worth a discussion on HN. Thanks.
> However, giving a benefit to people who have kids without giving that same benefit to people without kids is not that different from the company saying that they want their employees to have kids.
/want/ their employees to have kids means that they desire it to some degree. I am sure MS doesn't desire it, but rather indifferent. But they do desire to be a more humanitarian company and want their employees to be happier.

> Why shouldn't we also keep people without kids happy? Everyone deserves time to pursue passions outside of work. Some people are passionate about their families.
Are you trying to say that because people with children have parental leave, people without children should have equivalent leaves too? That sounds a little ridiculous to me.

I would love to sleep at work but I am not allowed to (I work at a courthouse). Monday through Friday I work downtown, my gym is downtown, all my going out is downtown, I am and plan to be kid-free forever... if I could save the commuting time, which is minimal, and get an extra hour of sleep or stay out a little longer and socialize, I would be delighted. Heck, I would even do a little extra work if I could just recline on the couch and fall asleep.
The employer match does not count towards the $18k limit.
> If it's for general discussions about the "future of the project" or bigger-picture topics, I'd use Discourse. It's a really nice way to organize discussions that are one step removed from code-related issues.

This is what is appealing and Github offering a builtin-to-github solution for it, with linking to Github accounts, autoformatting etc (like in issues) and so on. There is so much potential.

The Japanese could certainly have delivered the bomb to US targets. They had aircraft carrying submarines. Near the end of the war an operation to attack on the Panama Canal was in the works before the subs were recalled to the home islands in order to make kamikaze attacks on American warships.
Wu users need to also accept responsibility. We handed over control to "Facebook, Twitter, GMail, Amazon, etc" as part of our Faustian bargain to get everything for free and put advertisers in the drivers seat. The invisible hand works for the customers, not the products.
Actually, employer contributions do not count towards the $18k maximum per year in contributions. This is the specific advantage of having a 401k match in the first place, as it allows employees to have more tax deferred savings than otherwise possible.
