Well, expanding disk space can be pretty disruptive even if it is cheap. No need to be wasteful.
I think the difference is the amount of time. In your mechanic example, I have to wait probably a few minutes extra. Maybe total time goes from 15 to 25 minutes. 10 minutes is a significant time.

When dealing with computers however, the time goes from 100ms to 2 seconds. People generally don't mind.
No matter how misguided I may think your comment is, I think we can both agree that even in your view of it having registered aircrafts and especially having properly trained crew is in the "actual safety" category.
It actually does make a difference. The main difference between a Private Pilots License (PPL) and a Commercial Pilots License (CPL) is that you cannot fly customers for profit on a PPL (but you can fly people as favors and be reimbursed for expenses).

Its hard to tell just how serious these accusations are. For instance

>the airman who served as second-in-command only had a student pilot certificate

Presumably the first in command did have a full certificate (otherwise why wouldn't they mention it). The reality of this could be as mundane as "the guy sitting shotgun in the Cessna is only half way to his PPL and we bought a friend along".

Legally Tapjet may squeak by if their counterarguments are legitimate. At the very least fully rescinding their license may be overkill. This decision might be politically targeted at anyone trying to be Uber of the skies. I'd want to see more than this one off press release before calling them reckless.
I don't think I was suggesting using TCP, I was suggesting implementing the features you like from TCP into your stack if you really need them. You can do congestion control without retry, etc.

I've built variations of UDP based protocols 4 or 5 different times over my career. I'm literally in the middle of this right now with the radio framing protocol I've been developing. I really think you're making it out to be much harder than it is.
Well, I wasn't really expecting this to show up here, but I guess people have been paying some attention to plan 9 things around here lately. Hi everybody! I can try to answer some questions to those who are interested. I've been working on this kind of thing for a long time and it is interesting to see this version of things getting some traction.

You don't necessarily need better FPS from the pose tracking, because you can use optical flow to interpolate and predict movement. These sort of techniques are already commonly used for VR positional tracking off camera input.

The pink/blue pattern struck me as more of a depressing display of capitulation to runaway groupthink and mob rule.
Because there is true signal in the way markets move (after all fundamentally the movements are based macro and micro economics events). People find patterns in the data that occur at a far higher rate than chance even once you account for data mining. The problem is a system that works in one era doesn't work in another.
Yeah, why have qualified crew on passenger-flying airplanes, sure ...
That's just plain wrong, in the context of protocol development it is a commonly used term, and not exactly uncommon in wider networking space as well. See MPTCP mentions in this thread, presentations and mailing lists around development of TLS, HTTP2, QUIC, ...
They are also very small countries compared to the US
Flying is already very cheap.

Also, how does "using unqualified crew" equal in any way to democratising flying ?

>It's the carriers (USPS, FedEx, UPS etc.) who leave your purchases on the street, not Amazon. Amazon can't micromanage their shipping partners to alter the way they do deliveries.

Amazon has been using their own delivery service here for quite a few of my orders, and they don't always know what they are doing. I would wager this is why the parent was facing problems.

I've actually had to contact Amazon about this several times after we moved to this location. To the extent where I was seriously annoyed that I couldn't find a customer service option right on the order page and instead had to click separately through their customer service flow, only to find that the agent has no idea what order I'm concerned about, and that I have to go through the whole rigmarole of telling them my name (if you have an uncommon name like mine, this quickly becomes a chore), address, order, etc.

To Amazon's credit, they've always made it right with me, but I shouldn't have to contact them every week about this issue. That's at least partly the reason I canceled our membership.
Is that really the word for word description of the app?

If so, it’s interesting that they don’t add a “best” to “safety”.
Sure but I was responding specifically in the context of GP.

>> Terminals can display images?
It's more an argument of whether the flights are considered commercial or private. If the flights in question are judged to be private, they may not have skirted any safety regulations at all.

For example, on a private flight (and on some commercial ones) a co-pilot is not required. The student pilot in the right seat might as well be a passenger.
Maybe I should start flying UA instead of DL/AS, I have status from them via marriott. Hrm.

Commercial flights, yes, and that’s because we certify and license the crap out of such things. And thus we circle back around to parent’s point.

I don’t have a source at hand, but IIRC flying a private plane is one of the better and more reliable ways to get yourself hurt or killed.

Businesses cannot afford the risk of using operating systems without security updates.

That's a matter of judgement. Is the risk of downtime, data loss, or other damage from not having a patch on Windows 7 for a security flaw greater than or less than the risk of similarly bad things happening because Microsoft messed up another security update (or a non-security update that they forced on you)?

As a matter of objective fact, my businesses have lost far more time -- orders of magnitude more -- due to botched Microsoft updates, including bad security updates on multiple occasions, then due to any sort of malware or other attacks.

Of course, we're not crazy. We have a variety of other countermeasures layered around our systems that would deal with most threats long before they could reach a PC even if there were some vulnerability there that could theoretically be exploited.

We are not in a place in the world security-wise where your attitude is workable in a modern business environment.

IMNSHO, we are not in a place where PCs that can update their operating system arbitrarily, restart arbitrarily, and upload data arbitrarily is workable either. If we ran Windows 10, we would be in instant violation of just about every NDA or confidentiality agreement we've ever entered into, not to mention violating assorted legal and industry regulations.

What has unpleasantly surprised me about Windows 10 is that more people don't have a problem with this gaping hole in their security and compliance infrastructure. Obviously the big players can't and won't accept those risks, and presumably that's why Windows 10 Enterprise doesn't have the same problems that we refuse to accept in a smaller environment. But the number of places dealing with sensitive data or critical systems who are apparently happy to be wide open to problems here is genuinely shocking to me, particularly after so many have had actual rather than hypothetical problems.
It seems like TapJats is attempting to use "private flights" to skirt commercial flight regulations (and the safety requirements that tag along). If this turns out to be true, they should be crucified.

Pilots without the required training will fly shotgun (and then low and behold, be required to assume control in a situation that requires it, exceeding their authority), pilots will scud run, or pilots will make other unsafe decisions due to a lack of training, and people will die.

EDIT: I'm mistaken if their website copy is accurate:

"Our partners require their captains to hold Airline Transport Certification and have thousands of flight hours before joining the flight team. First officers are required to have more initial hours than prescribed by regulation, and they are paired with experienced captains to ensure each of your aircraft is piloted by the best at all times. Pilots also undergo rigorous, airline-quality training conducted by Flight Safety International every six months, and Federal Aviation Administration-approved Check Airmen conduct line checks on each of our captains and first officers on a regular basis."

Its like "why the trabant came to dominate the russian automobile market".
There was a bunch of research on this a while back, essentially saying the driver needs to be paying driving level attention the whole time or the car needs to handle itself completely; you can't just expect someone to go from not driving to driving at 60mph without warning.

I mean, you can probably design autonomous "disengage" modes- hitting the emergency blinkers and heading for the breakdown lane is the extreme default. On a lesser level, the thing could just drive like I do. If a merge is too tricky? Just keep going straight, and recalculate on the next exit.

This is helped by that fact that modern cars seem to have pretty good "Just don't run into something" sensors already, and from my own experience as a bad driver with a decent accident record, not running into other things is most of the battle.

So yeah, I could totally see autonomous cars evolving the ability to safely get themselves off the road. Of course, you're still gonna need to do that a lot less often than every three thousand miles, but you don't have to get it to zero, just around the point where normal cars break down mechanically.

I wish the Ultra-scale devices did not cost an Arm and a Leg. Although, I only personally have a couple designs that could come close to using the amount logic they provide.

Although, 8GB of HBM could do some nice things. Also the UltraScale+ plus are one of thew few FPGAs capable of 1 GHz sequential logic for quite a few designs. So you could probably get a lot of performance for some signal processing or compute.

Fair enough, but does WhatsApp put out any market in China? The strategy is a completely different approach. WhatsApp simply building 1 product for the entire globe where WeChat just focus on 1 monoculture.

Have WhatsApp spent effort to build "that product" to China, and they would fail on it.

And I don't see WhatsApp is super pissed that they lost this 1.3B market anyway.

And in a hindsight, it is probably better for WhatsApp to not build "that app" for China. Imagine spending all those resources, money into a product and simply turn off by China government overnight. It's a big loss for that investment.

TL;DR do not enter China if you haven't yet finished conquered the entire world.
Yes, but there was a time for all of those things in which they did not have a century of development. Deploying them is how you get that century of development. The risk of this stuff is really quite small and local. If the technology has faults, they'll become apparent relatively quickly and harm a relatively small number of people. I see no reason to be overly cautious here. It's not a massive correlated risk, like say, global warming.
> not long after that people switched back to WeChat and QQ. It's simply because WeChat and QQ are easier to use.

That is not completely right. People switch back because most of their contacts are using QQ and WeChat.

And that's actually why people keep using Tencent product -- because all your friends are using it, your mom using it, your boss using it, so you have to. In fact, I think most of those IM's gaining their user base because of this.

Also, encouraging Chinese people using domestic services is good for government, as they had better control of those services. So they did, by selectively making foreign services unstable.

Censorship is not just a mean of control, it's also a business: Government wants control, company wants money, so they formed an alliance to get what they want.
Any foreigners can open a bank account in China even on tourist visa. No special documents needed other than your passport.

Yes, being a foreigner in China does suck but not for this case.
tc39 pipeline operator proposal for JS
It should be noted - this definition as genocide as destruction of a culture (instead of physical murder of a people) also supports the idea of "white genocide":

A targeted effort by people with power to liquidate white peoples' group identity ("abolish whiteness") and to marginalize and obscure their traditional cultural touchstones ("don't teach books by dead white men" and related efforts to avoid teaching Shakespeare, the Bible, old white philosophers, etc), efforts to bring in many immigrants to make whites minorities in areas where they were previously a majority (and gleeful anticipation of this outcome), etc.

This definition does seem to mean something. E.g. I'd say Uighurs and Tibetans are undergoing genocide by China, even though China isn't running death camps. China has the intent of erasing these groups as groups and is systematically working towards that goal.

And it has been used this way extensively. People talk about "genocide" of trans people in America. Or the "genocide" of Native Americans, who, although they were almost wiped out by disease, and were then abused in horrid ways, were never the target of a campaign of physical total murder. Reservations are terrible, but they're not Treblinka.

On the other hand, the definition seems incoherent. Is it possible for blacks and whites to both be undergoing genocide right now? I suppose so; maybe it's a war with each tribe trying to dissolve the other.

I suppose you could look at intent as the difference as well: Are people trying to abolish blacks as a group? Is this the goal, or a side-effect? Are people trying to abolish whites as a group?

Does it require a chance of success? Is the intent to liquidate white culture enough to call it genocidal, or does it actually need to be actualized with a strong chance of success? How much chance?

Or does it only require an effect? Is the effect of liquidating black culture enough to call it genocidal, even if it's just an incidental side-effect, or does it need to be an intent? When we bring modern music and food to an isolated tribe, thus displacing their traditional music and cuisine, is that genocide? Because we just destroyed their culture forever.

Things get fuzzier because the academics in power at the moment - all leftists - want to be able to use this word to describe actions against people they like, but not against those they dislike. Hence the bobbing and weaving between definitions: When it's against whites, genocide means gas chambers only. When it's against blacks, it means a lot of young criminals spending time in prison.

I think it would be better to narrow the usage of this word. If people are trying to liquidate another culture, let's figure out another word for that (and please not "cultural genocide").

At a certain point humans and AI can also play off one another predictably.

Everyone has played games where the AI can beat you in a straight shot, but you can lead the AI into situations that are predictable where you can gain a predictable advantage, and vice versa with humans.

Example: Buy on the dip strategy and technical strategies, big players could drive down the market and HFT can buy in the dip based on fundamentals. Bad news floods the market and HFT reacts.

Humans can predict what AI would do, then AI will reactively start to predict what humans will do when this happens, but humans always have one step ahead in new techniques, AI will be built to defend against it.

Regarding defending against a buy on the dip strategy, AI can start to learn player specifics and not react, or react differently (preemption) if those players return, however this can also eventually be played.

Humans and AI will be playing a cat and mouse game for eternity, microcosms of this can be seen in gaming AI. I think of it more like a game that will be fun to play, yes sometimes you will lose, other times you will predictably win. Bots will be challenging bots unexpectedly and predictably, but they will almost always originate from human programming originally.

Well there's Roborace https://roborace.com

Its funny that they're doing this with full-scale vehicles. I think a smaller scale would be more accessible to smaller and therefore more teams. It would also mean that a team could take more risks - imagine an 'unlimited' class that just specifies max dimensions and weight (and maybe allowed power source). That would be fun to watch I think.
The problem with your comment is that you are wrong in your interpretation. Your interpretation is that it's black and white on what the FAA can do. There's famous saying among pilots when doing something that isn't explicit in FARs. "That sounds like a grey area". For a conservative pilot, they'll never do it because it could be a license suspension or at minimum dialing a number to talk to an FAA investigator. To a more liberal or adventurous pilot, they might bend the limit and see if it comes up.

I am curious if you're a pilot and if so have your CPL or ATP.

It's not about the PPL vs. CPL (and by definition they need more than a CPL). The difference is in what might be considered "compensation". The FAA's interpretation of this is so incredibly broad, it should scare the pants off anyone considering bending the rules here, and their lawyers should have picked up on this. Did the flights with vendors increase a relationship that might further an interest or negotation later? Did the flights help them improve their app? Did it result in a prospect of a return favor?

It may not be fair or just, but the FAA put those rules out there and a whole lot of people have been inconvenienced by them. I love that Tapjets is doing this, but they moved fast and not particularly wisely. If they thought they could run like Uber and ask for forgiveness later, they never worked with the FAA.
Oh, interesting. I thought it came from Don't Starve but they must have been adopting this from SimCity.

> Tax avoidance is an illegal means of not paying the actual tax required

It seems curious that you'd start by defining terms and then define those terms incorrectly.

tax a·void·ance
taks əˈvoidns
noun
the arrangement of one's financial affairs to minimize tax
liability within the law.

In short, what you're referring to as minimisation is avoidance. For what it's worth, I've been using them interchangeably up to this point, and I agree that it's innocuous, harmless, etc.

The illegal act you're referring to is tax evasion.

> the taxing organisation has internal descriptions of what they will allow as legitimate deductions which are different to what the legislation might read

In America, the IRS is bound to the same laws as the citizenry, and while there may be some allowed discretion in interpretation, re-interpreting the law on their own is in fact illegal.
My life insurance policy specifically denies a claim if I'm flying general aviation (private plane). It is that much more dangerous than commercial (on par with driving in a car).

https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/17/opinion/The-Dangers-of-Pr...

"The National Transportation Safety Board found that in 2011, 94 percent of fatal aviation accidents occurred in what’s called general aviation. That category includes private small planes flown by amateurs as well as professionally piloted corporate flights in high-powered aircraft, such as the Gulfstream IV jet that crashed in May in Bedford, Mass., killing all seven people on board. By contrast, commercial aviation had no fatal accidents that year. Statistics from the N.T.S.B. show that general aviation aircraft average nearly seven accidents per 100,000 flight hours, compared with an average of 0.16 accidents per 100,000 hours for commercial airlines."

Emphasis mine.
Right, but UDP also presents what it receives in order - so what's the advantage of forcing TCP to behave this way? I struggle to think of a practical use case where either a) UDP or another protocol wouldn't be selected [e.g. in a VoIP system] in the design phase b) using TCP in this non-standards compliant way would be nothing more than a short-term bandaid because of other constraints (e.g. can't change Layer 4 to something non-TCP).
