> I have always detested the "don't hate the player, hate the game" ethos. It's a total shirking of responsibility that inadvertently praises being able to game any existing system regardless of the purpose for which the system exists in the first place

Hm, I've always taken that phrase to mean, "don't be prejudiced against a whole person: people are complex and you can probably find something to agree on with anyone."

So, I often try to say I don't like certain a thing about a person rather than saying I hate them. Hating everything about a person just feels a bit too simple and wrong. Perhaps that is too PC for these days, but, that's how I take it. Even Hitler had a mom- that sort of thing.

If there is fog you do not fly by hand. You use an automated landing system (ILS) in that case.
They do. They have different lighting systems/colours etc. to differentiate them.

Taxiways generally have green lights along the centerline to guide aircraft rolling on the ground, but runways usually have white (bright) lights along the edges. There are times when even THAT causes confusion, because sometimes the taxiway centreline lights can look like the edge lights of the runway - especially if the light is refracting off a wet windscreen.

So, in the end the problem is generally avoidable, but if you are on finals at a really busy airport after a gruelling 20 hours trans oceanic flight, at night, in the rain, and the tower is trying to hurry you up to expedite traffic, you can make mistakes.
Just installed OpenBSD 6.1 on an old Lenovo Thinkpad T500, and everything works. Suspend/Resume when closed/opened, Intel wireless card, wired ethernet port, sound, trackpad, function keys for adjusting screen brightness, all work. Well, the fingerprint reader won't work, actually, but that's about it.

Would definitely recommend this setup for folks not needing anything fancy (not for gaming/3d apps), but for your average web developer, it'll do the trick.

The caveat is that a T500 isn't exactly "modern" (c. 2006), but it's got a Core 2 Duo @ 2Ghz and 8G of ram, which is plenty for my admittedly modest needs.
Assuming the liveatc audio in the article has not been edited, it sounds like there's about 10 seconds between ATC giving go around and the United pilot saying they flew right over. With instructions given to Air Canada in between so it might have been seconds earlier.

Based on that, it was seconds away from a collision. It seems like a near miss when considering aviation safety margins.
Here's a night approach on 28R at SFO.[1] Same approach during the day.[2] The taxiway is on the right. It's a straight-in approach over the bay. The runway, like all runways at major airports worldwide, has the standardized lighting that makes it very distinctive at night, including the long line of lights out into the bay. This was in clear conditions. WTF? Looking forward to reading the investigation results.

The planes on the taxiway are facing incoming aircraft as they wait for the turn onto the runway and takeoff. So they saw the Air Canada plane coming right at them. That must have been scary.

I'm a private pilot who has flown into SFO once, and flies over SFO on a regular basis (I'm based at Palo Alto airport). This is not being overblown. If you listen to the audio tape, the tower orders the go-around at the 33 second mark, and United 1 reports that "Air Canada flew directly over us" 16 seconds later. That is a breathtakingly close call.

Safety margins are wide when pilots don't screw up. But this one did. Royally.
What if the airport was fogged out and the Air Canada pilot was doing a instrument landing?
I just love Legos. I spend countless hours in my childhood building whole cities in my room... I was so excited when we got our baby boy that I bought a brand new Lego police station right away, which I've stored in the basement of ourhoise. He's now 2... we'll get there.

That said, I have the feeling that when I was a kid there was a bigger variety of "joinable" toy systems. Lego has gotten so big that all of them vanished by now. However, that's just ust based on my gut feeling, I don't have real data for that
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USAir_Flight_1493

Though air traffic was not heavy at Los Angeles airport, the local controller was distracted as Flight 1493 was on final approach by a series of abnormalities, including an aircraft that inadvertently switched off the tower frequency and a misplaced flight progress strip, which resulted in the SkyWest flight being told to taxi into takeoff position while the USAir flight was landing on the same runway without the Metroliner ever being given a takeoff clearance.

Upon landing, the 737 collided with the twin-engine turboprop, continued down the runway with the turboprop crushed beneath it, exited the runway, and caught fire. All 12 people aboard the smaller plane were killed, as well as an eventual total of 23 out of the 89 passengers on the Boeing.
Ya, you're not getting it. First, a transcript of your communication is not desirable to many (if you find this puzzling, it's because you're old :P). Second, FB Messenger or any chat client you have to manage the groups (forget it).
Play around at domainr.com, a brainstorming tool some friends and I made a few years ago. It supports all the new generic TLDs.
When did that happen?
Was you ignored once in a while or systematically no matter how you change the way you communicate with group? That makes difference. I was in situation when I was treated differently and in situations when I was treated equally. It is night and day difference.

If I am treated equally and they are dicks, they are dicks against new dudes around too.

That is how I tell them apart - there are enough groups who treat me equally to see difference agains those who do not.

The other difference is that I was flat out told that women can't code or "guys are too good in it" and it was not meant as a joke - in one case it was meant to inspire me to change major. I know it is not just in my head.
I have a hunch that these kind of news had been circulated before, officials threw a few sacrificial lambs in to reach the quota, then the headlines fade slowly into background.
why? Cuz they're racist. Did you expect a logical reason?

Well, the article starts with them and the chart starts with them! But the whole article would be better off without them.
Seems like a very good argument for autopilot landings.
Yes, autolanding, or if the pilot was using ILS (Instrument Landing System), then this problem would almost never happen, as they would be aware there was a problem.

However, most pilots eschew automation especially on short finals, and prefer the 'hand fly' the aircraft in so that they can maintain complete control over the aircraft. Not a bad thing, and pilots want to actually fly the plane at crucial times.

When hand flying on final approach, your eyes and senses are 75% outside the aircraft. All you are worried about is your airspeed, your rate of descent and whether the runway is remaining visible at all times. Your eyes are darting from your primary instruments in front of you to the runway outside, and your arms and legs are busy working the throttles, control stick and rudder pedals.

Maps and charts are well stowed away at this point. In fact, once you enter the main airport traffic pattern, they are put away as all the details should be memorised by then. At best, the pilot will have the approach plate on his/her control column. But this just gives the instrument approach paths and radio frequencies etc. and not really a detailed topography of the runways/taxiways.

Ironically, AFTER the plane is on the ground, the non commanding pilot will usually pull out the airport plate which details all the taxiways and routes to gates etc., especially if they are unfamiliar with the airport and have to find their way around.

It's a matter of scale. Even on a modern HSI, the difference in distance between the runway and the parallel taxiway is probably the width of the indicator icon. Very hard to see on instruments. Much easier to see by looking out the windscreen.
She says "it's not that bad" and then goes on to explain that abusive behavior happens because of the capital raising dynamics.

So in fact the abuse is happening...

It's understandable for a woman to come out and say "look it's not that bad", because it's true that in a majority of cases, women in tech are treated fine and the media shouldn't make the tech environment look like it's a giant college dorm.

But, at the same time, it is true that some pockets of college dorm culture still exist. And because the tech culture is so homogenous (geeky male college grads) and isolated, extreme and abusive behavior towards those outside the culture arise more easily.

Media attention is necessary so that the people who evolve in that culture day in day out can have a reality check.
GFW does not just inspect traffic, it actively probes server IP:ports looking for its responses, can replay packets you sent legitimately, and can impersonate IP addr behind GFW.

Are you sure you're not thinking of TCAS?

(ACARS is used for delivering clearances and other routine operational/maintenance messages. Basically text messaging for airplanes.)
When flying visually (VFR), taxiway lighting and runway lighting are visually very different. Taxiway lighting is almost always blue, whereas runway lighting is white (with any displaced threshold marked with red lights). In daylight, the markings on the runway are unmistakably different.

I'm not instrument rated but my understanding is that with ILS, instrument approaches can handle multiple parallel runways precisely and therefore the pilot has the tools necessary to distinguish between a runway and taxiway when in instrument conditions. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Let the investigation happen, but from the reported facts, this seems to be a pretty clear case of pilot error.

And I think you meant to say "raises the question" rather than "begs the question."
Show HN: Jwt.show – show the payload of a jwt token
In Seattle, there have been taxiway landings in 2005 and 2015 because the taxiway looks similar to the runways. Presumably the ILS system should align them with the correct runway, but I guess that in these cases, ILS is not being used. Even it it were, the runways are the same heading and just a few hundred yards apart, so the mistake would not be realized until short final.

On the other hand, AM is simple and cheap and usable worldwide without significant investment.
Prediction: 2018 Toyota 4Runner Specs, Price, Release Date
they still use AM because higher powered transmitters (which will generally be the tower) can overpower weaker transmitters (planes). i'm given to understand aviation is enamored of that feature.

> Just imagine the economic damage that a single asshole can do with a high-powered transmitter near an airport.

the pilots could probably just pull their cell phones out and call the tower. there is much worse trouble single assholes could get up to.
New Study: Why People Support Trump (Visualized)
It is a very Silicon Valley thing to assume that everyone else is an idiot and needs to be disrupted, with not a thought given as to why things are the way they are. Sort of funny to watch it from the side

I assure you that there is a reason AM is used. The reason is that in the case that two stations are transmitting, everyone will be aware of it and the stronger signal may be heard. This is not something that FM can guarantee. And a digital protocol requires a much better signal (where old analog tv gave snowy picture digital TV gives nothing). Not to mention the insane costs that digital radio retofitting would require of every single plane in the sky.

Edit: parent seems to have deleted his post. It previously asked condescendingly why we still use AM for comms in the air.
Fantastic explanation, and the question on my mind the entire time is "but why??"! Surely the copilot can look at a map (when I say map I don't mean a piece of paper -- I mean a digital one with GPS and everything) and see their trajectory while the pilot is landing, right? Like I'm imagining there should be something on the plane that shows them their trajectory and the runway information. If there is, why isn't it telling them when they're going the wrong way? If there isn't, why not? Is the technology simply behind, or is there a safety reason or something?
Oh woops. I guess I misread that.

Half of what you mentioned doesn't come close to some of the research you see MSR publishing. The ones you mentioned are nice, but check out their papers. Some of their papers are so outlandish (for the lack of a better word), that I doubt they can even find a proper conference/publication to submit them to.

The most surprised I've been was when they started using P lang for drivers (which is also used for verification, so your last two points fall under a single point if I'm not wrong). This was the first time I've seen them using a new language/tool rather than make additions like the rest of the points you made. (Also FPGAs in their data centers but that's a different topic)

I'm not deriding their decision to do so, just an observation. Google's X does research which can possibly be an actual product, and I guess I expected Microsoft to do the same. Using such cutting-edge research and include it in their products might earn them cool points from HN, but I'd say the management is perfectly content with the numbers in front of them. OTOH, I doubt any manager is willing to take the blame if their initiative fails in a released product. Microsoft has enough bugs that people complain about as it is (refer to the front page submission about performance)
There is a very good technical reason we still use AM.

AM is not prone to capture effect, wherein the loudest signal captures the receiver. With AM, you can hear multiple people talking on top of each other at the same time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capture_effect

For uncontrolled radio situations where you have a number of unknown people who need to access a radio channel, neither digital nor encryption bring any wanted benefits.

As a note - the audio from this recording is very clear to me - I've heard far worse out of scratchy narrowband FM.. with AM the weaker the signal generally the quieter it is - but not generally that much noisier.

Why is there a dedicated 10GB partition for /usr/X11R6?
From my experience in China, it seems that the vast majority of Chinese citizens have no idea what a VPN is and or why they would use it. Friends of mine that are Chinese citizens that study abroad in the US make extensive use of VPNs to circumvent the GFW.

Every technology company that I've come across in China has invested a great deal of effort into establishing stable VPN connections. I have seen several "VPN microservices" that act to tunnel all foreign-bound traffic out of the country. In the vacuum of mature, western technologies many Chinese copycats have popped up. I have been hoping that we would start to see more and more Chinese technology companies exporting their technology [1]. With these new legislative actions, it seems like a step in the wrong direction.

I'm struggling to come to terms with the restrictive policies that the Chinese government continually struggles to hoist over their citizens. During the midst of one of the most dramatic periods of economic development in history, the Chinese government is moving to artificial isolate themselves from the developing global economy?

I can't tell if my expectations are just too high, but the impression I'm getting from all your answers is that pilots just don't have a dynamically updating (i.e. digital) map. It seems like everything is a bunch of numbers the poor pilots have to crunch or ticks that they have to count correctly or sheets of paper they have to pass to each other with diagrams. Why in the world is the system so ancient in 2017? Google Maps on my phone can show me where I am within 10 meters and where I'm going for the next 10 minutes, and it automatically zooms in and out at turning points... why can't an airplane have a display that shows them where they are and where they're going within the next minute?

Elon Musk; the thread up top about him has some discussion about him being an interesting human being; there is literally a book about him.

The domain name x.com: It's interesting that something happened X.com as most of the other 26 single character domain names are reserved and won't be sold.

The history of it; Paypal, the previous owner of X.com and started by Elon Musk is a well known internet commerce success story; many readers not only have Paypal accounts, but also complex opinions of their service, and may even have worked there at one point.

Tantalizingly, as Elon Musk "enthusiastically" now owns X.com and has done other cool stuff in his life, it's interesting to fantasize about what might sort of content, if anything, Elon Musk will put up at X.com.

Finally, this is an article on TechCruch, and we're suckers for anything they post.

None of that might be as interesting as, say, "taking control of all .io domains with a targeted registration", but that has about 10x the points (1068 to this post's 104), but each upvote adds 1 point and is then plugged into the mysterious frontpage algorithm.

Elon Musk buying X.com isn't going to keep me up at night going wild with possibility, but it's really a human interest story and we're not robots. He owned this back in 1999; where where you then, where are you, and where do you think will you be, 18 years from now?
