The FAA and the NTSB are the reason there is market buy-in to begin with. Consumers would never have adopted air travel and driven global economies of scale to the extent that they have without those two agencies reassuring the public that they wouldnt go up in a giant fireball along with 200 others just to go to Cabo.
Interestingly, I thought that I could simply point you towards Wikipedia [1] and call it a day. However, obviously Newton's viewpoints were controversial in his day and remain so. The controversy is hinted at in Wikipedia, without details. Even the "History of gravitational theory" [2] article completely eliminates this aspect and the "Newton's law of universal gravitation" concentrates completely on the dispute with Hooke.

Many science-related articles on Wikipedia suffer from good-meaning but over-zealous gatekeeping of religious influences on science. So I'll just recommend to you to read a biography or three on Newton. His entire story is fascinating and we can see how tiny events in his childhood (death of father, influence of priest uncle) have affected the history of physics.

Care to provide your credentials to make such a claim? Especially around one of the most widely used and longest produced airliners in human history.
Yeah, we do the same thing. This seems to work pretty well, except right now we build these images out of band of our normal build process (if you change these base images, you're expected to kick off another CI job that builds/pushes new versions and updates the versions in the FROM statements in our production Dockerfiles (and our docker-compose.ymls). I'm not sure why we're doing this, since the build cache is actually pretty good at avoiding unnecessary base image builds.
Let's face it. Does it really make a difference whether we vote for Tweedledum or we vote for Tweedledee?

Or, as the wisecrack says: "If voting really made a difference, they wouldn't let us do it."

The Millennials are just refusing to waste their time, angst and effort on such a useless activity as voting.

So tell me, what real differences were there between the Bush years, the Obama years and the Trump years on the US foreign policies, the financial policies, the social-structure policies, and the infrastructure-maintenance policies?
I think that most rational people hold a state of natural disbelief to conspiracies in general. For example, 10 years ago, the thought of a government slurping up all network communications into large collections of data storage for later analysis seemed so unlikely. The cost of storage, the expanse, the inability to make any effective querying against the data... just made it seem highly unlikely.

Then you come to find out it's actually happening. It just seems like such a huge thing that's hard to comprehend. I, personally believe it's entirely plausible.
They’d be admitting they kept info about you they were supposed to delete no?
Depends. I frequently see after the flight is priced out. Norweigan+partners can outprice the legacy carriers. Many times they're exactly the same price. Sometime's they're a better value. (I'm looking at Southwest's ticket flexibility as a standard feature)
While it's ultimately going to help to shame vendors regarding their poor security practices, it's really irritating and unfortunate this is all being framed as a Supermicro issue. How about the other companies in the same market space, like Tyan, that I'm sure are no better? For that matter how about the "Tier 1" OEMs like Dell and HP - how well-written are their BMC firmwares?
Air India, an old antiquated government subsidized airline that should die.

This basically forces me (who never checks anything) to subsidize your (I assume) traveling habits.
100% agreed and well said.
I would say that given the amount of motherboard variants, even gene rationally that have varying differences, especially in component supplies, it was pretty unlikely to see the issue. I mean, while some may take a MB out and inspect it thoroughly, most that I'm aware of, will plug it in and if it works, leave it there.

Yes, I'd say this incident makes for a good Boeing ad - "Even a brick wall can't stop a 737 from flying a route!"
Sounds a lot like Alitalia.
I don't see the issue as being difficult or complicated - binding arbitration is fine and useful, as long as it is mutually agreed upon after the disagreement arises but before it is litigated.

The problem is being pressured to commit to arbitration long before you know what the implications will be. Thus, I think it should not be permitted for anyone to make that decision in advance of the specific dispute.
Some people just bring less stuff, or have less in general. In general someone going for a shorter amount of time will take less stuff, why should they pay the same amount if they're not carrying the same amount?
I don't think so. If this is so widely-known then there will be some bias in selection of people for an interview. And after a phone screen it will be obvious if the candidate knows anything.
Sorry boeing engineers didnt have you at the table when they were choosing features to optimize for, you know, toggling through priorities and costs of features in terms of thrust, drag, weight, power, etc.
> Flying did get much worse as "1 free checked bag" became more rare.

Where is this rare? I have never bought an airline ticket, even in bare-bones economy, flying for business or leisure, with and without status, and not got an included checked bag. This is flying British Airways, United, Lufthansa, Delta, American, Japan, etc etc
Your second link mentions LD50 in adults of around 30-60 mg of nicotine. In children the LD50 is around 10 mg.

Seems harmful enough to me.
The Airbus A320 can't either. It's not required as long as the landing system is designed to handle the fully-loaded weight.
Three; you're forgetting Datastreamer itself.

I'm the last person to want to begrudge making a profit, but the move away from RSS is a blatant, deliberate move away from openness/user control and toward walled gardens. And ever since Twitter dropped RSS, I realized I'd rather do without the sites entirely than do without their feeds.

Meanwhile, huge swathes of the internet still use RSS and Atom or even the age-old approach of mailing lists. (And readers like Feedbin gives you an address to provide to mailing lists so you can follow those just like any other feed.) Every time I see someone say RSS is dead, I go and look at my unread article count.
Japan is far from perfect when it comes to excessive packaging and recycling. According to this article it actually recycles less than the US:

> In the bigger picture, however, Japan is a recycling laggard. According to 2014 data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the municipal recycling rate for Japan was only 21 percent, below top-ranked Germany at 48 percent, Sweden at 33 percent and the United States at 26 percent.

I have been trying to go over how this could happen. The damage to the wall seems so severe that I would image even over the sound of the engine the pilot would hear and notice that they had hit a wall. Flying the plane at this point would be risking their life. The first thing that came to my mind was the only reason a pilot would risk his life is if his life was already at risk and if he had been drinking when he hit the wall he would face many year in jail I assume for putting lives at risk. In a panic says to himself the plane is damaged but I know it can still fly and takes off without a plan really but perhaps just to let the alcohol he had leave his system. I hate to speculate here on HN. This is just crazy to me and I really look forward to hearing more details as to how his happened.
I wouldn't call that a heist.

If a company can't make money from it's valuable real estate, then maybe it doesn't deserve to be a company, and should stop wasting everyone's time and money pursue goals that will fail.

Eventually you have to learn not to throw good money after bad. If anything, the people who are trying to keep zombie corporations around are the thieves.
I appreciate that the author acknowledged his privilege (both economically and his support system) and that he said it’s not intended to be prescriptive (except that even with that disclaimer, the takeaway is still prescriptive — otherwise why write it this way?), but so many people — even from similarly privileged backgrounds — can’t do something like this, and I would argue shouldn’t.

If you graduate with lots of student loans, aren’t making a salary that makes it easy to save (which is common even for high earners in expensive cities), and don’t have a network to get reliable freelance/contract work (assuming what you do could be freelanced/contracted out — engineering can but some jobs/skillsets are much harder to do, especially if you’re in your 20s), this is the sort of thing that might be good for your mental and physical well-being, but could end up causing more stresses in the future.

As others have said, fair or not, having gaps on a resume can be problematic (and ageism in tech is a real thing) when trying to reseek employment. At the very least, re-entering the workforce at the same level (assuming you left at “senior” or a mid-level equivalent) might be tough. I suppose if you were a junior dev or just starting out, it would be easier to come back at the same level — but rob may not have the same burnout in that case.

That said, I do think it’s very valuable to recognize what you want and what you don’t want out of life and a career. And that might mean not being in the rat race in your 20s and it might mean realizing you don’t aspire to have the lifestyle that comes with being a well-paid tech worker if it means you have no work/life balance and are slowly killing yourself.

I used to dream about just quitting my job and taking a sabbatical. I was too scared that after the break was over, I wouldn’t be able to find employment the same way. Maybe that was unfounded, but that was my fear.

I wound up switching careers and even though I make more money, I have a better work/life balance and I no longer dream of quitting. And for what it’s worth, the extra money is nice — but if I made what I made before and had the same lifestyle I have now, it would be worth it. I’d even take a pay cut.

We can't even terraform Earth enough to reduce the level of CO2 in the air, so terraforming another planet? The answer is 'NO'.
I've never heard of a plane ticket that doesn't at a minimum allow you to carry on a bag that is small enough to fit under the seats for free. That is enough for necessities for a short trip.
I worked for an Amazon subsidiary for about 4.5 years. By the time that last review & reorg came around, I was mentally already out the door, being burned out. Having my job change to doing mostly Windows help desk (I'm a linux sysadmin) was what made me crazy. Unfortunately, that layoff came right after the "Great Recession" got going, and I was out of work for a year and a half. My nice $125/share stock RSUs had to be sold for living expenses. If the timing hadn't sucked like that I could have paid off my house by now. I still have 5 shares...

I kind of had a forced sabbatical after that. At least I was not in debt going into it.

Then I went to work for some big names, this time in Linux operations, some contract, some regular. Since I have the wrong age and plumbing, I constantly have title deflation and other BS to deal with. I'm currently at a university, at a pay drop and title drop, but it's more stable with more time off.
two reasons:

1- the business model
2- in some cases, it actually needs some engineering. for example a new brand name, etc.
> I know a lot of people who use RSS, but no one who uses Pocket...

You know a lot of people who use the RSS feature being removed from Firefox? Not RSS, but the feature. Because you didn't say anything about he feature, but RSS in general. I use RSS. I didn't use the feature in Firefox.
RSS is the norm and about as obsolete as HTML. It only fails to exist in half-assed greenfield projects and sites like Twitter where the management has decided you must follow and interact in very limited ways.
>Companies won't do that unless forced to by regulations.

Even if you were to take a cyncical view that companies don't care about people, they sure as heck would not want to lose a $300 million plane.

I'm not arguing against the utility of regulations. I'm saying don't overstate it.
There are ~1M RawGit URLs embedded in open source projects on GitHub: https://github.com/search?q=rawgit.com&type=Code I'm curious to see how many there are a year from now.

No, Atlas is people like Galt.

The point is that the looters pushed the weight of the world on to them, and that's the failure of their society.
> the other 90% hear that I'm unemployed and treat me like a pariah

Are you sure it's that, or could it be because they find they have trouble relating to someone who is in such a privileged financial position to do nothing for two years, when they themselves may be financially insecure?

People relate through shared struggle and experience. When you say, "I don't work and I don't need to", you've dashed any sense of camaraderie a stranger, or even many friends, might have felt.
They're taking out RSS?

Hmph. Well, this is why I support Fire—...Oh, shit.
A detailed tech breakdown of the hack would be great, I assume this is out of the question?
Then why systematically dismantle the company in a way that directly benefits your other business(hedge fund) instead of pivoting to a less real-estate focused business model?
I imagine this would give discoveries in the LHC a boost, or at least some amazing footage of atoms colliding and exploding :) That would be amazing!
Rand's works need to be read while knowing the context that it was written in.

Rand grew up in Russia, and her works were a direct criticism of the failures of the Soviet Union and communism.

For someone who was watching their former country being torn apart, by cartoon villians, it makes sense that she would write about the exact problems that she saw happening. IE, cartoon villians looting the country.
Maybe it's just me, but to me it seems like 99%+ of humans don't check whether they're fooling themselves, even when using statistics.

Have you ever known anyone to check if the central limit theorem applies before taking an average ? I mean, we did it once when learning what it was and why you might want to check, but ...

The problem with statistics is that they in theory don't work in the real world. For instance, if you check a statistical variable, great. Now you fix something in the real world and recheck your variable. BZZT wrong ! You can't measure a variable after you've tried to influence it, because obviously you're not measuring the same thing anymore. So there is (potentially) no relationship whatsoever between the measurement after the change and the measurement before. So ... statistics CANNOT correctly be used to improve things in the real world.

But ... have you ever known anyone to use statistics any other way ? Also: we don't actually have anything better.

The thing is ... it mostly works in practice, though you can come up with examples where it doesn't.

And of course you can do things very wrong, as you're just adding, multiplying and so on. That works on any set of numbers.

The thing about machine learning is that a well designed machine learning algorithm contains far less details about the problem than a statistical model. So people far less versed in the problem being analyzed can improve things more using machine learning than by using statistics. But the potential maximum improvement you could ever hope to make, statistics is going to be higher. Compare a second-degree regression to and LSTM for a time series. ASSUMING the statistical model works at all, it'll beat the crap out of the LSTM. But the LSTM will sort-of succeed in nearly all cases. So if the variable fits the information you stuck into your statistical model there's no beating that model (in this case that the data is generated by a second-degree process with a not-too-close-to-zero determinant)

Issue for the future is that all interesting problems are beyond the comprehension of any human, so ... machine learning will win. This means humans can't make statistical models for them either. It'll win, not because it is always the best solution, but because for so many problems you might as well say for all problems we will never find anything remotely optimal or understand enough to even figure out how to apply statistics to it.
Even more worrying is "messages will remain end-to-end encrypted. There are no plans to change that."

Doesn't this mean that everything but messages will be open for exploitation?
This is clearly why they're already targeting status updates. Once they figure out if you're male or female then the deeper profiling can begin. A sad day.

It's a little like the Evil Maid problem. Mr Zuck has his fingers on the WhatsApp keyboard and you can be sure there's trouble ahead.
Before adding new keys you have to go into setup mode which should be impossible to do programmatically. So in theory malware cannot add keys.
How do you get -240 - 287 = 40?
Southwest is the only major US airline who does not normally charge for a checked bag in economy on domestic flights. Other airlines: Alaska ($25), Allegiant (up to $35), American ($35), Delta ($30), Frontier ($25), Hawaiian ($25), JetBlue ($30), Spirit ($30), United ($30).

Spirit, at least, does the right thing and charges $5 more to carry a typical bag onboard.
If anything this is great free advertisement for Boeing's quality.

Why is this being downvoted? It would be great if, say, hipmunk annotated free bags rules in the flight choices.
It's not necessarily bad to support the drug addictions of a small handful of people for 20 years.

Some people just suck at life, due to mental illness. They're going to be addicts regardless. It is insanely cheaper to just give them drugs than to close your eyes and let the other costs of them being unpredictable, homeless and sick add up.

No, I don't think it would. I don't imply any locality restrictions on the dynamics - they can be arbitrarily strange.
already multiple players in this space but last time I checked none were very reputable or well reviewed so hey still an opportunity.
What's wrong with banning voice calls? It would be incredibly annoying to have to sit next to someone yelling into a phone on a 4+ hour voip call during a flight.

Maybe in America. But when I was in Spain this summer, I met some Aussies who do seasonal summer work then go blow it all on word trips yearly. Said it was decently common among a certain crowd of people.
Sure thing. CVE is a list of software vulnerabilities https://cve.mitre.org/ and Jessie is an older version of the Debian operating system, a flavor of Linux https://www.debian.org/
Don't read too much into it: SFDC feels the pinch in recruiting, and they are heavily invested in a San Francisco presence with their tower.
Without fees, the airline is minimizing the cost and you're cost averaging. With the fee-based structure, it's really a massive cost increase and a service/quality decrease.

From what you said it's abit like saying that you don't want to subsidize the police via your taxes because you never use them.

Maybe it's because all my flights are international, or domestic connections to international, then.
Because these are all the excuses people give when they were fired and couldn't find another job. Especially after 2 years, when the unemployed person has likely given up on the search.

But seriously, if you enjoyed the job so much, why leave? Why not just take a quick vacation and keep enjoying the job?
A good reason would be fuel weight on possibly damaged landing gear.

Also, the airport wasn't good anymore. They had just destroyed the Instrument Landing System at the end of the runway. Nobody should land there.

The thing you're working on now sounds like it's way out of the RSS wheelhouse. Maybe you just gave your baby a job it didn't want :)

Filters (never see topics or even entire sites, you don't want to); mark-as-read (never rescan, HUGE time saver); single place to monitor multiple sources; standard. All these things make RSS far superior to any subscribe/follow systems I've seen anywhere else. I know RSS was supposed to be about the content too, but just as a notification system, it's crushes anything else out there. Some sites still include the content, but obviously you can't get that from aggregate and multimedia sites. RSS still provides a better way to consume the general web, even if most people don't realize it. Thank you for your work.
What does a "year of runway" look like? Do you mean a year of the founders' living expenses?

Is it scaled to the founders' local cost of living? Does it assume a 20-something founder with few family commitments?

Or is some of it also intended to cover operational expenditures (at least at MVP-scale)?

What if the founder has a potentially 100x idea, but still wants to go the bootstrap route because... well, let's just say they find Craig Newmark more worthy of emulation[0] than Mark Zuckerberg or the PayPal mafia, and leave it at that.
