That's certainly true. Boshirov's photos also show a mole above his right eye. This is missing in the Chepiga photo. But that does not prove they are not the same person as a mole or mark could potentially have appeared later in life. What's your opinion on the likeness, btw?
One important piece of Stripe's margin story that differentiates it from commodity processing is their marketplace and platform product, Connect. Without saying too much (I am a former Stripe), this product enables both processing of cardholder charges as well as payouts to 1099 workers and other businesses that the platform is processing on behalf of. When people talk about Stripe serving Uber, this is the kind of unique value that Stripe is bringing to the table.
I don't find it necessarily odd that one of the early users is from the same city as the company that created the app.

Sometimes, when I've worked on a small tool I want to share with others, I've found that telling people about it at local meetups is the easiest and quickest way to get people to try it out.

> Cockpit voice recorder (CVR) information was not available for this incident because the data were overwritten before senior Air Canada officials became aware of the severity of this incident.

How long are recordings normally kept? I would assume at least a few days for mundane flights (storage is cheap, isn't it?) but any sort of incident similar to this I would assume they keep recordings for much longer, if only for internal purposes.
It's weird to those who know. But to those who are just looking at how bad it messes things up from a passenger's view (ie, non-aviation-knowlegeable people reading the article), it's reasonable to compare things of different causes that have similar effects.

That's why it's ambiguous without context, because it can plausibly be covered up with a non-racist interpretation. In my uncle's case I know that is what he means from context, and I've seen those terms used similarly by others. There are certainly legitimate conflicts and grievances between rural and urban populations, but that's not what he means in this situation.

Does an accident count? The large contract I'd worked on for years got won by a new company. I had a job offer from Subcontractor Company A that I wanted to work for. But I wanted just a little bit more money. Like, literally 5k more so I wasn't taking their initial offer would have been great. So, I sent my resume to the Prime Contractor asking for an irrational amount of money. Figured they'd counter with "lol no, but how about X?" and I could use that to get a small bump at least from the Subcontractor. Then the word came out. The Subcontractor would get no slots on the new contract. Either the Prime picked me up or I'd be out of a job. Eep. I found out later the Prime wanted to drop me like a hot potato, but the customer went to bat for me, so I got an offer late in the evening after spending the day hearing about all my coworkers getting offers. It wasn't quite for the irrational amount I'd asked for, but I jumped at the chance to sign the offer. It still ended up being, by far, the biggest increase in my salary of my career.

The real best decision, though, was leaving my job. I had been talking to people for years about the future of work being online and freelance and such. So, I decided to just quit my job and see what happened. Turned out to probably be the best thing I could have ever done. My income dropped a lot, sure, but I learned probably 10x as much in 2 years as I had in the previous 15 years combined. The anxiety of being entirely freelance and chasing money wasn't really my cup of tea, but it certainly put me in a much better position when approaching employers with that experience at my back. Not to mention the psychological confidence knowing that no matter what happens, I won't starve.

Merging  Django ORM with SQLAlchemy for Easier Data Analysis
I agree with this, I don't even use a VM somewhere I just run it on a system I already had at home and point a lot of other sites at it L3, no issues in a few years. Obviously it depends on the kind of uptime and home setup you've got, but the take home should be that running a Unifi controller doesn't inherently have to cost anything, not even for L3 adoption. There is zero cloud tie-in needed, or even colo/VPS or whatever, not via Ubiquiti and not for any other 3rd party either. You certainly can use any of those if you consider the advantages they offer (which can certainly be very real!) worth it, or just plain like to do it that way.

Unifi absolutely has flaws and missing parts that are easy to run into if you push into more powerful aspects of networking, but overall it's a delightful foundation, and critically to me was the feature of zero online dependencies. I feel like that's the Net at its best, a smooth progression from your own random kit all the way up to multi region failover hosting or whatever but purely based on bandwidth/uptime/maintenance/cost considerations, never any permanent ties. Can centralize/decentralize/move around/selfhost/colo/contract out at will. Unifi can match where you're comfortable with, is has pleasant pretty safe defaults, and they're great about long term updates and support. At the end of the day I can forgive a lot over that, particularly given the contrast it is with so many other offerings.
We live in a society that requires money just to survive. How can any venture not have money as a goal?

Therefore, it’s always at least about money but probably more than that. And when you consider the time investment and risk associated with a startup, it might be a loss if you’re only considering the money.
To be fair acquisition assurances are always temporary at best. They are buying the company for a reason, not to leave it alone forever. I've been a part of two acquisitions over the past decade and most of the devs I know have been in at least one. The assurances are never more than temporary.

This seems less Facebook specific and more "that's simply what happens with all acquisitions".

If I understand CVR tech correctly, it's running and constantly overwriting the storage in a loop whenever the plane is powered up. A lot of airplanes are 10, 15, 20 years old. CVR are based on some pretty old late 1980s technology, it's not like a modern flash based storage system with effectively infinite capacity for stereo 44KHz audio (64, 128GB, etc). There's maybe 1 or 2 hours of recording time, max.
Hilariously, that WOT doesn't address my point.

Here's one way: there's not a singular axis that users wanting sync and users not wanting sync can be placed on and compared.

The other poster expressed how the feature sucked for their purposes. But the feature wasn't made to punish them, it was made after evaluating the preferences of many users, which is what my question is getting at.
I've had similar issues with Ubiquiti in a noisy RF environment. The 2.4GHz spectrum was extremely saturated and people were frequently dropped whenever they were on it. Thankfully, the neighbors aren't using 5GHz too much--I just turned off 2.4GHz for our own WiFi and it seems to have solved the issue. Still, very annoying and took a long time to figure out.
SFO has ground radar systems (ASDE-X/ASSC) [1] which allows ground and tower controllers to see potential conflicts on taxiways and runways. Pure speculation, but I don't think that these systems' conflict logic take into account an aircraft trying to land on a taxiway.

Your "permissionless innovation" is obliterating the well-being of the average American citizen (and others too).

At-will contracts, the gig economy, force arbitration, the privacy free-for-all, union busting, zero-hour contracts, privatised law enforcement, privatised medical care and all the other innovations created by US corporations.

And your proposed solution is absurd, by the way, and this can be easily demonstrated by the fact that few awful organisations had trouble finding qualified personnel.

> As Instagram kept on growing, Mr. Zuckerberg believed there were ways it should help Facebook grow and improve Facebook’s “user engagement.” That included small tweaks, like automatically sharing Instagram “Stories” videos to Facebook without clear signs indicating the videos were taken on Instagram.

That's a little sneaky. I had started to notice more stories when I opened FB, and it was always the people I'm also friends with on Instagram. I hadn't realized that they may be coming from Instagram.

> Earlier this year, Facebook also removed a shortcut link to Instagram from its “bookmarks” menu inside the Facebook app, a small but significant source of traffic that flowed from Facebook to Instagram.

What would the point of this be? Why would FB want to shut off traffic to another one of their properties?

In corporate America, you always get support as long as things are going well. As soon as things go badly, people look for scapegoats.

I’ve had a manager before who supported everything I was doing but when he was let go, I was left hanging in the wind. I’ve slso had a manager who wouldn’t listen to me (I was the Dev lead), everything failed in just the way I warned it would and I could see he was going to blame me.

Never trust a company - and by extension your manager who represents the company to his reports.

That’s about like the people who trust HR.

I'm not advocating for anarchy, just that we stick to the laws that are actually codified. We should be reactive to bad behavior, not proactive. Instead of blanket calls for regulation, we should be specific and considerate when making new rules as they often have unintended consequences. Instead of having to constantly ask for permission, you should be able to read the rules and make decisions independently. You don't hear about the millions of interactions that occur daily without consequence so I believe your views on corporations may be biased.

Those of you who are Dvorak fans (as am I) should find, read, and support the No Agenda podcast and email newsletter he's been doing with Adam Curry for about 10 years now. In the latest newsletter, John argues that he was fired for writing negative things about 5G networks -- and offers evidence that PCMag routed links away from his critical columns to more positive pieces.

I got to work with John a bit over the years. He is many things, but I have never known him to lie, or get his facts wrong when reporting. If what he says about PCMag unlinking from his columns about 5G is true, it's even more rude and insidious than the way he was fired.

John argues that it's more evidence that advertising drives much if not all supposed "journalism" these days. I hope he's wrong, but fear he's more right than most of us know or suspect most of the time...
I think this is really just a case of flying into the ground. It just happened to be in close proximity to other aircraft. There are lots of systems that are available to avoid that (ILS, GPS etc.) which were not used in this instance. And a system for avoiding collisions for taxing aircraft is probably not much use at such high speeds.

Some airports do have a system [0] designed to track taxing aircraft and allow collision risks to be detected.

Globalism is messy.

The west, particularly the US made a policy decision years ago that engaging with China commercially would yield benefits to China, the US, and the world. Arguably that was correct, although the predictions that making money would create a democratic society proved to be inaccurate.

If you wear men's undershirts, you're objectively abetting an authoritarian regime that allows companies in Bangladesh to systematically abuse textile workers. Is that ok?

At the end of the day, the Chinese have nukes and will do whatever they want to do. Why should Google suffer, when nothing is preventing Chinese services from launching in the US and competing with their properties?

Help me out here, I really don't see how a traditional database could solve the problem today.

If you have various different, independent actors that operate in a shared environment but with distinct roles, how does traditional DBs help you do anything that isn't already being done today?

For example, sharing data between those actors is still a heavy duty process. Trusting the data coming to you from other actors is still a high risk area, even if they aren't intentionally acting maliciously. Determining actors who have acted in poor faith without trusted and transparent data sources is incredibly difficult as well. How do you overcome these issues and come to the point of a centralized DB either? Who's going to own that central DB and pay for everything going into and out of it?

So in that way, I don't see your point about how a traditional or central DB could solve these issues. I agree with all your other points, and I certainly agree the buzzword charm is heavy as always with this topic, but I don't buy that part.

Happy to hear otherwise. Full transparency, to me, it does seem like DLT has an enterprise value so I'm a bit more of a homer than most.

It's sad. I've so much wanted to go back to Firefox after 10 years on Chrome now but every time I give it a try it just doesn't do it for me. Mostly because I have quite specific habits and I don't remember off-hand what it was specifically the last time I tried it that made me give up, I should really do a write-up the next time I give it a go, as I love Firefox (what it stands for) but there's always that _something_ that makes me go back to Chrome after a week or so. Currently I'm exploring Vivaldi (based on Chromium, which has some awesome power user features).

I bring it up on the same L2 fabric as the APs if I need to make any changes, and then suspend it again.

The point will come when not regularly wearing one of these devices is considered hazardous to one's health... And this point will probably come before self-driving cars.

Some examples:

I always wondered why I had a lot of trouble sleeping. Doctors laughed at me, until an orthodontist told me I should get checked for sleep apnea. Turns out I had very severe sleep apnea. I would have like this diagnosed much sooner in my life.

My Dad had afib, had it been diagnosed sooner, his surgery wouldn't have been a "get it done now" situation.

Once the true positives outweigh the false positives, everyone's going to consider these essential for health. That moment will probably be in 2-5 years.

> any solution that requires foregoing independent corporate decision making would be foolish

Whether you think less regulation or more regulation is better, you can't in good faith advocate for no regulation. Corporations have demonstrated many times over the years that they are profit maximizing algorithms with no regard for human life.

> For those who have been tasked with building tools that support authoritarian regimes, grow a spine, make your voice heard, and quit if necessary.

Once again, this makes very little sense in the context of history. Individual people are largely powerless when standing up to large organizations. Corporations do not self regulate and individuals cannot stop them. They are effectively a form of "very slow rogue AI" and the only way we seem to be able to control them, at least for a little while, is with central governments.

I can't speak for the GP, but in this case of the cryptocurrency sites/fora I frequent (including topical subreddits), the ads are for idiotic scams. This indicates that whatever vetting they're doing is insufficient, and so they can be safely blocked (specifically -- if they can't be trusted to not display ads for obvious fraud, they can't be trusted to vet ads for other malicious attributes).
Stripe are just awesome. Thing I love most about them were the capture the flag comps they did. Seriously. So much love for those games.
Yes, we actually considered that. Unfortunately in our use case, there were many 2.4GHz-only IOT-type devices that needed to be on the network, so we couldn't turn off 2.4GHz. It helped a bit when we turned down the 2.4GHz Tx power - that seemed to encourage more devices to jump over to 6GHz, but even that didn't solve the problems altogether.

I'm not an RF design engineer, but for this type of equipment, I do feel like there's some truth to "you get what you pay for". It's plain to me that the Ruckus APs have superior RF front-ends that are better able to deal with the noise. They're more expensive than Ubnt for sure, but that extra cost was very much worth it for us, to avoid the frequent disconnects that the users were having to deal with.
I mean, you're arguing a term that's used in physics isn't physical. Raycasting is often used when solving EM equations.

Are you purporting that photon streams don't follow a ray? And when they interact with a surface they don't obey Snells law? And when you look at the interface between mediums a percentage of the intensity is transmitted and the remainder is reflected (the ratio of which is determined by the angle of incidence?)

I work for an MSP servicing small businesses, Triplebyte sounds like one of our clients. I guess since they're developers they think IT is optional and they can save on costs (and/or their time is worth less than ours, which I doubt). And then later those decisions come home to roost and it costs more to pay some company like ours to come in and do things properly. I mean hell with modern wifi like Ubiquiti or Meraki you shouldn't even have to think about half the stuff in this article.
