The CFM56 (that failed on the Southwest flight recently) is actually a fairly old engine design - it ran for the first time in the 1970s, and has been in service on the 737 for decades. Based on total run time, it's actually one of the more reliable jet engines ever created.

The equivalent product for the A320NEO/737 Max is called the Leap 1A/1B. It's doing better than many of the new generation of jet engines, but it also has a flaw that requires a certain part to be replaced on all ~500 or so in-service engines.

Well, from the limited amount of Google ad buying I've done, and some independent stuff that's pretty much it -- of course most advertiser's would be automating the purchase, and I daresay Reddit could even provide a front-end for that. Social media managers (manipulators) are a pretty common position in many companies -- they're already "optimising" story postings, timings, comments, and such. If you're already managing the story submission it's not much extra to manage the advertising.

>In the world of "best laptops" as in "devices we use to make stuff" it's awlays been Thinkpads competing against each other for the top spot.

To make what stuff? Because most top-tier programmers whose stuff we actually use, use Macbooks -- just check the laptops of the headliners and speakers at any dev conference -- heck, even Linus has a history of them (running Linux in his case).

As for creatives (musicians, graphic designers, etc, there's no comparison what they use to "make stuff with").

I see why many people consider this to be a problem, and it does severely limit the ability of knowledge to persist, but I think there are some benefits to it, namely that the answers can always be up-to-date.

I don't know how many times I've found answers for versions of my libraries/toolkits that are so old that they're useless. There's little point these days in persisting answers to questions about Node 0.4.0, for example - and that's only ~7 years old, downright modern by some viewpoints.
Australia has not had a recession since June of 1991. That simultaneously does not mean they can go another two decades without a recession next time, and it does not mean their expansion has to end shortly.

There's no rigid guide that the US expansion has to end anytime soon just because ten years was the longest expansion in the prior century. Perhaps this one will last 19 years and set a new benchmark, who knows (answer: nobody).
Most of the attention stems from organizations like Greenpeace which tend to attack high profile targets in ways that are as much self serving as they are beneficial if not more so.

It's a sure-fire bet that enforcement bodies (such as the ICO in the UK), are starting to build test cases against the worst offenders.

There only needs to be a few successful fines for the model the article is complaining about to be uneconomical.

They're going to look at the big guys - the Facebooks, Googles and Amazons of this world first. Big media firms, too.

Facebook is looking at $2 billion in fines if they can find one corner they're not compliant. Google would be nearly three times that, Amazon over 6 times that.

The money taken in from that will then be spent on upping enforcement, to some extent. Of course, if in 2022 they're sat on a GDPR fine pot of $20 billion, not all of it will go on enforcement: it'll go on investment.

But it will be enough to realise that there is no escape and the adtech firms will suddenly realise they're looking down the gun at liabilities they can't stomach or afford.

More importantly, brands will be embroiled. Are you a wholesome household name? How you going to feel about being involved in giving huge amounts of money to an adtech firm that is now being dragged through the European courts for spying on your customers?

The effect will not be immediate. It's 4-5 years away before we see the first signs of anything serious, but it will happen and it will be a permanent win for privacy.
> Just because we hate those damn robe calls doesn’t mean this isn’t a valid, high quality product.

Just because it's a valid, high-quality product doesn't make it amoral.

And I would argue that their TOS doesn't prove your point, but does the opposite. Let's look at one example line:

> Customer will ensure that its processes and scripts comply with call recording law, timezone (“curfew”) laws, rules, regulations, ordinances and licensing obligations.

My reading of that line is, "we will punt any questions of the legality or morality of what we do back to you, the guy giving us the dollars."

> Customer is solely responsible and liable for compliance with all caller ID and “spoofing” rules at all times.

How can the customer be responsible for something that's entirely out of their hands? Do I, as a customer, dictate which number Upcall's calls will appear to be coming from? (I honestly don't know, I haven't read tehir FAQs.)

This whole thing reads like an Uber-style "move fast and break laws" manifesto.
This article seems to use the terms "unemployed" and "jobless" interchangeably.

People who stop searching for jobs (eg. due to despondence or poor health) are excluded from the official unemployment rate, yet they are jobless.

On a recent EconTalk, Edward Glaeser, the Fred and Eleanor Glimp Professor of Economics at Harvard, said, in their recent sample, 11.9% of U.S. men aged 25-55 have been jobless for over 12 months.

From quick googling, 11.9% of U.S. men aged 25-55 is about 7.5 million people.

> While I used spamassassin (not simple), my friend used Thunderbird which did a good enough job.

Err, what? SpamAssassin is a filtering system and framework, Thunderbird is a MUA. There were plugins to use ApamAssasin in Thunderbird, and there may have been some built in filtering in Thunderbird, but you'll have to do a lot better than just saying it was good to convince me it existed as anything other than a joke.

My job during the time Gmail launched and the years following was administering portions of an ISP, including mail servers and a separate set of SpamAssassin processing servers, as well as separate consulting work setting up SpamAssassin and a mail server for colocation customers.

I also used Thunderbird off and on for a number of years during this same period (when it wasn't Thunderbird, it was Mutt). No MUA without something like SpamAssasin (or some paid for service or package) was even passable during this time period, to my recollection.

> In the early Gmail days, I didn't know anyone who used Gmail for anti-spam use. It was all about:

Believe me, they did. People noticed it. ISPs noticed it. The ISP I worked for thought about shifting over all email for our customers to hosted Gmail, because the spam solution was actually better than SpamAssassin usually could do and it would offload a lot of work. It didn't happen, but it was at least thrown around as a possibility.

> Most average people I know did not care about spam during those days.

My experience fielding support requests during this time period points towards the opposite conclusion. People cared a lot more, it was much more of a problem then. Google trends backs this up.[1] It was bad enough that legislation about spam was being passed during this period, such as the CAN-SPAM act of 2003.[2]

I think perhaps you've forgotten just how bad it was, or were lucky enough to have an address that wasn't very badly affected. You were running SpamAssassin, so you would likely have been one of the better protected (and you could tweak your own rules, which might have helped if you did so).

While you are still able to purchase them, it's not exactly on the market as a new machine...

It's not wrong that this was probably one of the best hardware designs and Apple was wrong not to just keep upgrading the processors and memory and churning machines out... but since Apple decided Touchbars and shitty keyboards all for want of a few millimeters that nobody cares about is the way of the future, we're stuck looking elsewhere for hardware.

I have to personally admit that I have seriously contemplated buying one of these 2015 machines refurbed, as my 2012 MBP is on its last legs and I need to replace it... six months ago. I also looked at the machine in this article and really quite liked the hardware, but would never buy it from the company that's building it, which is another market fail.

(And it's also annoying to watch people call the machine in the article a Macbook clone, when it's really closer to being a Chromebook Pixel clone, all the way down to the 3:2 screen; I love the Chromebook Pixel too, but living with Chromebook hardware as a software dev is a high-level annoyance that I wouldn't wish on anyone for their daily driving experience.)
Which options over 2% APY do you know of?

Hi Peter,

Except not that long ago the Iranians DID revolt, following a sham election where the reformists/progressives should have won. They got into the streets. And then they got shot.

You seem to be living in a phantasy world where subjects of a dictature are just "asking for it", and a 50%-or-more majority should magically change everything. That's not how power works. Money and bullets, you see, matter more than ballots.
I don't understand why people continue to compare laptops with 15W cpus like the Huawei Matebook X Pro or Microsoft Surface Book 2 to laptops with 38/45W CPUs. On CPU intensive workloads an i7-8550U is going to under perform an i7-7920HQ pretty soundly, around 40-50%, particularly for sustained workloads where the i7-8550U is going to start throttling hard to stay within it's TDP boundaries.

If you're considering a laptop with an i7-8550U in it, it's doubtful you're in the target market for a Macbook Pro, at least certainly not the 15" model, the 13" is at least a little closer in performance depending on workload.

The i7-8550U seems like a great option in the 15W category and smashes previous 15W parts. But, it's not a competitor in the 'Pro' market if anything you do leverages the CPU heavily. It's also just a matter of time before intel releases quad core 38W parts which will pull laptops like the 13" MBP far ahead in performance again.
It's airline money and thus passengers' money. I'm perfectly happy to accept a higher risk if I can save a few bucks. It's like buying a used car.

IMO there is a particular kind of left that one find in and around the tech world, "Vally left" if you will.

It is a kind of "left" that maybe front some social issues (in particular gender as of late) but that can't bring themselves to really question the way things work on a really deep level.

The kind of left that would not know a industrial or service job if it landed on their head.

Anybody that I've spoken to who has done more than a cursory study of the past and present privacy legislation and actions surrounding that in the EU is in reasonable agreement that enforcement will likely not happen at a large scale until sufficient evidence of misconduct in the form of of user complaints has been collected. And after that there is still an investigation to be conducted which will take some time. So figure Q1 2019 or so when we will see the first real action.

Hi Peter,

My current employer has offered transferring me to the US under an L-1B visa in approximately 6 months. On the other hand, my girlfriend (US citizen) and I are thinking of getting married.

From a purely technical point of view, do you see any issues with transferring under an L-1B visa and then getting married? Do you recommend taking the fiancee visa route instead?

Our goal is for me to become and American citizen at some point and live the rest of our lives in the US.

Thanks!

India is nowhere near this much of a ripoff. Even in a reputed private hospital like Narayana or Manipal the "treatment" that this child underwent would cost Rs.350-500 for consultation and probably another Rs.500 or so for registration if he is a first time patient. In India ripping off a patient is still the exception and not the norm, unlike in the USA.
An L-1 or O-1 is probably the best option. If you were in H-1B status while in the U.S., an H-1B might also be an option but as the company's founder, probably not a good option.

You are misreading me and the poster above. I was simply explaining what he meant and why it could be seen as rational.

The issue is really not as simple as you describe. Of course every life is worth saving, especially the lives of children. However, given a finite set of resources, would you rather save more or fewer children? The amount of money that goes into a long shot at saving a child with terminal cancer in the US would provide clean water and mosquito nets for many children in sub-Saharan Africa.

Am I saying that we should enforce this reallocation of resources? No. But I am saying that it is complicated.

I'm no economist. But I think it has something to do with how we used to grow in ways that didn't monopolize people's needs. (better equipment, better networks, new consumer products, holiday travel, toys, fashion, etc). But now our growth is mostly in ways that do monopolize people's needs (healthcare, housing, childcare, education, transportation).

If you evaluate the last 30 years using, for example, TV's or telephones as a benchmark, it looks like we've been amazing at everything, and capitalism is awesome. But if you evaluate the last 30 years using, for example, housing or healthcare as a benchmark, we look like a country that's on the brink of total collapse

--

Part of being a free country, is the freedom to abstain completely. The freedom to walk away. Television sets or movie theatres, for instance, can never get too corrupt, or too expensive, because you can always just walk away. There's a limit to how exploitative a transaction can get on many products, because eventually people can just throw up their hands and say "fuck it, I'm out, I'm done with this whole mess".

But you can't walk away from healthcare. You can't opt-out of the housing market. As we transition to exploiting needs instead of wants, people can't opt out, so the potential for exploitation in those particular fields is almost limitless -- limited only by total income.
