Companies don't care about people, for one and for two, the problem is that safety is one of those things that companies will gladly brush right against the edge of for the sake of profits.

To draw a point of comparison many companies know that their infrastructure is vulnerable to hacking or data leaks. The reason why they don't fix the problem in the first place is because they've ran the cost analysis and realized that the cost of securing their system is more than the potential ramifications of losing customer data.
Baggage fees are advertised, and everyone knows the ticket price does not include checked luggage. How much more transparent can they get?

There is literally no lying whatsoever going on here.
It’s absolutely a solution. Even if the airlines create an incentive to bring carry-on, if there’s a reasonable limit to the number of items and size, everyone’s luggage will fit! This is how the rest of the world operates airlines.

> There was a joke at Princeton back in the 90s that if the board of directors ever allowed the university to spend down the endowment, they could fund ever-increasing tuition for all students for the next thousand years.

Back of envelope: Princeton endowment ~22B. Enrollment ~8200. Current tuition ~$45K/yr. 22 * 10^9/(8200 * 45000) = 59.6.

So in ~60 years, without even adding in inflation or the "ever-increasing tuition" or allowing more students as population increases, they'd empty the endowment.
There aren't any quasi-monopolies in the airline industry though, are there? I've always found it interesting that the airline industry is very competitive yet airlines haven't gotten any better or cheaper in decades.
Well, you could fly out of JFK or LGA both massive airports with flights to essentially everywhere.
How do I check if I've deleted Facebook?

Does deleting Facebook mean I no longer have a right to know if my data was breached while I was a member?
@ codeisawesome If he only had a small drink he might have though a couple hours flight time is all his body needed to metabolise the alcohol to where it wouldn't be detected. Again I hate to speculate here and hope that there is a more rational explanation as to why things went the way they did. For example like captain_perl said at a certain speed the pilot is commited to take off. Ok, but why continue flying and not get enough height to turn around and land immediately? Was he following some protocol that states continue climbing then assess damage? Did air traffic tell him to proceed as planned? To the casual observer here, things don't add up. I am hoping there is some explanation but at this point something weird seems to have happened or we are missing a part of the picture. Very interesting.
I've had exactly one negative experience on the Green line, as I was coming home to my apartment 62nd street - a group of young men surrounded me and tried to intimidate me, clearly a casual pastime for them. I stood my ground, acted like an adult, and they left me alone.
Yes, I lived on the South Side, and yes, I am white. Chicago has a storied history with racism, with many ongoing issues. But there are people constantly, constantly working on those issues - wonderful people of all races who really, really care. And things are improving. Even the University has stopped its (abhorrent) previous practice of parachute research. They've started to realize that if they'd like to keep that shiny ranking of theirs, they need to really invest in uplifting their surrounding community. Van Dyke was convicted of murder - that would have never happened in Chicago of old!

As for your most memorable attack, I have a counter, but from San Francisco. A (white) homeless man lunged from his spot on the sidewalk, got within a millimeter of my skull (I could feel his hot breath in my hair) and yelled "F*CK YOU!!" over and over again.

It was a busy street and no one stepped in to this man towering over me.

No one here cares. The homeless throw feces at tourists (I've seen it) and attempt to punch passerby (sometimes with success). No one cares. You want to talk about deplorable behavior bred out of poverty? Come to San Francisco and walk down Golden Gate and Market. I've never seen anything like this in Chicago.
Reminds me of https://github.com/solidsnack/arx/ which I came across recently. I've not used it, but it sounds like it does a similar decompress-then-run approach, but using a shell script as the runner rather than a native binary.
It is basically a parliamentary procedure hack. An urgent issue can be tacked on to an existing bill that is already farther along in the process. Streamlines the passage.

There is also a bit of game theory going on here, by attaching a must pass item to the bill you can get other less favorable items passed at the same time.

I don't like Trump at all, but this kind of "outrage for the sake or outrage" article really makes the media look bad.

The worst part of this bill, IMO, is that it includes hurricane relief funds in a bill otherwise targeting minor airline regulations.

But otherwise, as far as I'm concerned somebody who'd stuff a dog in an overhead bin and smoke e-cigarettes and talk on the phone all flight deserves to be thrown off the plane.

It would be more "fair" to let people make their own decisions and not assume adding a comment is adding an endorsement.

Don’t fly: use a video conference, or just forego contact altogether. Travel by other means: drive, or take a train—-certainly viable in the Northeast. Use another airport: you said Newark, there are (at least) two other major airports in the New York area alone.

People usually have multiple choices available. Certainly they have alternatives to flying United Airlines out of Newark. That someone does not like these other choices does not mean they do not exist.
You replied to the wrong comment.
The best blend of quality and convenience I've found so far is a french press. They're less fiddly and messy than an aeropress (I own one and never use it), cheaper than a drip machine, easy to clean, and produce good coffee. The only drawback is that you do need a decent grinder. A cheap spinning-blade grinder will produce a mix of large grounds and powder that will clog the mesh.
Precisely why I never use free CDNs or stuff like this to serve static content. Just host your own thing. It maybe costs a little bit more but at the end you'll have websites that will run for decades.

Rawgit was useful, I wish it stayed up for a little longer, perhaps someone like Cloudflare could sponsor this?
Expedia.com displays baggage fees right in the results list when you do a search for a flight.
> This is correct but multiport interfaces don't add up those latencies:

Well, it still adds up as far as you use the individual ports. If have a single keyboard controller with modulation and pitch bend wheels connected to one port I don't think it's far fetched to say that the latency of the MIDI messages for some instant action can add up to >5 ms on its own. Might be hard to notice, but that's my point! At that latency you might as well be discussing how close you should sit to the speakers. If you're 1.72 m from your speakers, that adds +5 ms latency. I'll reach that distance if I stand up playing with a stage monitor at my toes.

That said, I think that 5 ms here and there does matter. For example, 5 ms vs 10 ms audio buffers on a PC felt like night and day to me. The total time from finger to ear was probably already twice that, but it seems that shortening the audio buffer crossed some threshold where it suddenly didn't feel like I needed to adjust my playing for the latency.

I agree that Ethernet would have made sense today, and I think that some manufacturers already support something like that.
Yeah, young people do seasonal work in America too then decide not to get a job when their work runs out. I knew a few people that did that, all had a fall back, most lived in the parents basement.

> The alternative isn't "hold everyone's hand through all cost decisions"; the alternative is don't make things worse/more confusing unless you absolutely must.

If you're confident and in fact the entire industry is moving in the wrong direction, then you should probably invest as much as you can afford in an airline that is offering simpler plans. For me, I'll trust that the airlines' leaders are the experts in their own market.

> saying that this is a desirable property of an economic system seems like an inhumane and, if taken to extremes, systemically dysfunctional position to take.

"Choice" (i.e., "freedom") _is_ a desirable property. Sometimes it means people make inefficient choices (per their values); in general, the proper response to this observation is to teach people how to choose efficiently.
Why did you work so hard when you hated the job and coworkers so much? Why not find a similar role at a place you enjoyed more? Have you talked to a counselor about workaholism?

Exactly. RSS is the best way to get notified when new articles are published but I still want to read them on the actual blog, not some sub-par feed reader UI.
Im doing pretty much the same thing since the beginning of the year. the absolute biggest thing thats helped me is meditating for 1-2 hours a day. when you don't have distractions and you have meditated for that long - you get laser like focus, super clear thinking, and ability to absorb and synthesize way more information. funny the article mentions self actualization - I did not start of with that goal in mind and starting to meditate introduced me to a lot of literature around religion - and you start looking at your life in a completely different way.

Not everyone checks bags.
A lot of pilots don't use ILS and use a visual approach. That was one of the issues with the SF airport, as the left runway was closed, the lights were off and the pilot lined up with the taxi way.
It's quite incompetent and negligent to put network connectors on servers that cause spectacular failures when exposed to a network.

This isn't a fair assessment of the situation. Networks that aren't entirely trusted and controlled can cause spectacular failures. By knowing this, administrators can use BMCs safely. My Poweredge server even came with a warning sticker that had to be removed before the DRAC port could be used.

In general, tools can have "pointy parts" with which the user could harm themselves so long as the risks and proper uses are documented and explained adequately.
That’s assuming the rest of the endowment isn’t reinvested. You’d need less than a 2% annual return on that $22B to fund the tuition in perpetuity.
Huh.

https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/9393/why-doesnt...

The rules are based on the fact that landing is harder on the airframe than taking off, so as long as max takeoff weight is only a fraction higher than max landing weight you get a pass.

And at any rate you get the greater of 10 minutes or 1% of max takeoff weight per minute to dump enough fuel to land safely. I wonder how long it takes a 737 to circle the runway before it's safe?
Ticket prices are lower now than ever.

Poorer people can opt out of checking luggage in order to make that visit to a dying relative possible.

Everyone here forgets what it was like when a domestic flight cost the equivalent of $600 - which is out of reach for a lot of people.

Charging for luggage and dining separate from the ticket makes that possible, in part.

They briefly touched on how this company also buys up all the public images of license plates and sells it as a location log for any license plate you want to find.
Princeton's current 2018 size is $25.9B. In 2001 it was $8.4B, so a annual growth rate of over 6% per year.

So Princeton would have to spend 1.6% of their endowment every year to offer free tuition to their students. Assuming their rate of return on the endowment (including alumni contributions) can grow faster than the cost of tuition growth, they can provide free tuition for their students indefinitely.
Stapling bills together has been modus operandi for congress for decades. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but it's certainly not unique.

We are in agreement then. My statement “you can’t just create a new supplement” was in reference to the claim they don’t need safety information. They do, either new data (for a new molecule) or existing data (for a supplement with known activity).

In terms of the onus being on the FDA, that’s how it should be. A default “it’s banned unless we say so” would limit access to supplements that have been used for decades. They’d need to be pulled off the market. Supplement makers are unlikely to have access to the millions of dollars it would take to a supplement through clinical trials to prove safety and efficacy.

And as for the claims, the FDA issues warning letter by the ton when supplement makers step over the bounds.
Yea I'm interested in seeing what the passengers say. If they just heard a bump or didn't suspect a thing, the plane may have just graised it and the pilots didn't notice. If the passengers heard a noticeable sound or reported concerns and were dismissed, that's grounds for negligence.
Most compilers that produce native, static binaries for a platform also use static type systems that can be used to determine exactly where and how any given piece of code is used, including libraries. Also, if one can't get their internal builds correct, then they've got problems that go beyond security concerns.

Also, if you're talking about native, highly-distributed desktop/server applications, then the problem with using shared libraries is even worse. The only exception is system-level libraries that are updated automatically by the OS/distribution.

Finally, on Windows, with static binaries you can be sure that the binary is a particular version/build and is signed (this ensures that the binary version/build is valid). You don't get much better peace of mind than that. We've been distributing our installations and other binaries like that for over a decade, and it works great.
The quote accurately begins:
"Neither reducing the use of antibiotics nor discovery of new ones may be sufficient strategies to avoid the post-antibiotic era."

This can have a different meaning from your slightly abbreviated version - the "may" has more ambiguity and in context means they may fail. Your shortened version more suggests the strategies cannot succeed. The authors must themselves understand this stuff to a good extent and follow their assessment "this is because..." Your questions are to a different statement "couldnt they succeed like this...?"

Could Python’s Popularity Outperform JavaScript in the Next Five Years
It depends what you do - I've always had to timesheet, but that's because I was working for clients, so we had to at the very least make sure we were estimating correctly, or, at my current job, that we're billing the hours I actually work.

It's not too onerous, since I only work for one client at a time, and time spent not at work is uncommon and usually in big chunks (e.g. an hour or two for a doctor's visit, days or weeks for vacation).

Look at the correlation between currencies traded around the world and currencies that are trade-able with governments to pay taxes. By volume, most trades are made in currencies created and backed by governments. People can and do make their own, but it's a fraction of economic activity.

Also, how many times have you seen someone's fly undone and very quietly and unobtrusively informed them of the fact? You can get quite different reactions, everything from grateful thanks to "how dare you inform me that I am embarrassing myself" or just be ignored.

Different people will react differently to any help you may give them. In this case, one could possibly agree that getting these machines locked down so they longer present as a threat to others is the moral thing to do, irrespective of the legality of the action.

But that is a judgement call for the individual to make knowing that there are potential consequences for their actions.

You joke, but there is actual serious regulatory uncertainty with space launches - the Air Force is trying to hand over more and more regulatory authority to civilians, and there's a serious question of which responsibilities belong to the DoC (through the FCC, for historical reasons) and which to the DoT (through the FAA).
I chuckled at your scenario, but more realistically airlines realized that some critical mass of the market would rather pack a little lighter and save on their airfare instead of paying for a checked bag. If the scenario went as you described, then the airlines were trading their credibility for a short term boost in profits and the market will correct to their mid/long-term disadvantage. This is a poor consolation to the unsavvy consumers who "fell for it", but the solution is to produce savvier consumers, not to penalize the current crop of savvy consumers by inflating their ticket prices.
Active FAANG employee here, so a bit of my take on it. Personal opinion, of course, and not any sort of official Amazon statement.

Management DOES do a lot to prioritize/delegate/lubricate channels of communication, etc. That is their primary role.

But you have more engineers than you have managers. You have more people providing a more varied set of insights into what should be prioritized, what general work needs to be done, what opportunities exist, etc.

To a certain extent, you have to be willing to let some people sometimes be working a little sub-optimally to allow the autonomy that results in making some of the crazy cool products and services these companies create. That autonomy being available is one of the big things that drew me to Amazon, and it's something I believe I've taken full advantage of to the company's benefit.

Giving people the latitude to run projects and create PoCs before getting full buy in from management allows people to be creative. But yes, if you've spent a year working on a project, you should be expected to show the results of what you've done. Some stuff is more ambitious, sure - but even when the results aren't immediately obvious, you do need to be able to explain the potential and what data backs up that potential and the ability for the project to reach it.

From my experiences over the past five years, being able to find opportunities for improvement is hugely important to the culture and the promotion process. You need to be able to identify these opportunities, and that generally means some sort of metric is available to work from, and measure against as you try to improve it. (Of course metrics and statistics can be gamed, but I'd argue it's not good to go through life assuming everyone is a bad actor). It's a skill that sometimes needs to be developed, and it's something I work with people on to help them with the process, but I think it's a very good thing in general. I've seen a lot of positive come out of it.

My two cents, anyway.
>Dialog says post the acquisition, the remaining part of the business will focus more on IoT, as well as mobile, automotive, computing and storage markets, specifically as a provider of custom and configurable mixed-signal integrated circuit chips.
I remember a comment here on HN about how identity theft is the wrong name. Your wife and dog dont stop recognizing you. It is financial fraud and it really should be the entire responsibility of creditors to fix. The second you report it you should be able to have it sorted or be fully capable of suing them for defamation of your identity e.g. claiming you went on a credit card binge when you did not... We need an overhaul on privacy and our credit system. I am even much more concerned about the latter since it affects peoples lives much more dangerously.

Hmm... not a bad idea actually! Subverting their own SEO crap and turning it into something useful.
It's not entirely a market decision due to earlier government regulation: baggage fees are not subject to excise tax, so if an airline could charge $5 for your ticket and $600 for your bag they would be way ahead, even if you'd rather not have checked it.

In my recent flights, the time spent on getting carry-on baggage stowed properly before departure is what makes it a mystery to me that airlines aren't offering free checked baggage and charging for carry-ons.
