As someone who grew up in NYC, has lived in LA, SF and now Seattle. Seattle absolutely does not have the same sorts of things NYC has.

The mega cities have far more going on in terms of diversity of options on any given night than smaller ones do. Additionally, there are far more ethnic groups represented in these mega regions as well.

The Pacific Northwest absolutely has it's perks, but it's not nearly as thrilling as NYC or LA.
Texas has taxes a lot lower than NYC. Dallas is far cheaper to live in, too.

That's quite a difference. Even if Amazon gets tax breaks, its employees will not.

Dallas vs NYC is lowest vs highest income taxes in the nation.

"I just invented a one-off tax you'll need to pay"

It’s not a one-off tax. It’s codified, and every developer gets to choose if it wants to make these payments or not. If the developer doesn’t want to pay, then it is welcome to build within the zoning established a half century ago, and it won’t even be subject to Plan Commission review. If the developer wants an extra 30 stories beyond the current zoning, then it can pay for that by contributing to the community that it is going to impact with increased traffic, infrastructure, and demand for services.

They fixed the previous issue[0]. Why is flying a fixed aircraft after following Boeing's own procedures to fix it a "egregious decision?"

I think there's plenty of will to criticize Boeing itself on this board - just mention things like ULA, or weapons manufacturing (erm, Boeing Defense). Just in this case, the default position is to look for a fault in the airline with a known bad record - passenger planes, be it Boeing or Airbus, and 737 in particular, are incredibly well-tested and used without incidents all around the world. If it was Airbus A320 that crashed, I think people would still first ask if the issue really wasn't caused by Lion mishandling maintenance.

I think the background story is needed in order to fully understand a poem like this, or maybe any poem. From that perspective, minor loss in translation doesn't hurt. Folks above may spend too much in translation, nitpicking a single word, maybe useful as academic, but reading the story which is ended with such a sorrowful poem already breaks people's heart, how accurate the translation is doesn't matter any more.

I couldn't imagine such a miserable situation with desperate pressures that can drive people to commit to suicide.

These are all fly by wire airplanes, muscle has exactly zero to do with simply ignoring the input. You have to know what system is confused, and possibly why, in order to know what component or system needs to be reset or disabled.

And these are the kinds of scenarios that continue to make me think autonomous cars in a hybrid environment (i.e. with human drivers) is just absurd. Flying planes is a standardized environment, and we can't even automate it end to end with available technology in idealized conditions, let alone in emergencies. And car driving is way more complicated (and I say that as a pilot).

Having one inch precision for every bit of concrete, light bulb, paint on every airport in the world, is less data than what you'd see in one town, let alone a city, let alone all of them. The infrastructure standardization within a city is poor let alone across the country, and it evolves daily perhaps even by the hour.

There was an interesting observation at some day cares in Israel. When their day care closed, parents would drop everything to make sure they picked their kids up on time, but some would still be late. At some point, these day cares decided to start applying fines whenever the parents were late, and it completely backfired. Parents were suddenly always late and in large numbers, because parents felt guilty about making teachers stay late, and by adding a fine, they removed that guilt.

I view a carbon tax in the same way. It's an easy way for companies to continue with whatever their doing and they replace any guilt they may have with an easy payment. It certainly isn't going to solve much, because it removes any real chance of accountability. It is not a significant enough incentive for them to implement impactful change.

The free market may help create solutions, but it will not sustain them. Reversing climate change will not be a profitable endeavor in the short-term, and unfortunately market success is a greedy algorithm.

It's a complete contradiction that a free market could ensure conservation, since it relies entirety upon consumption, and market success is about who consumes the most.

Cynicism came from the ancient Greece and basically were a bunch of homeless people who were wandering around the streets, mocking and swearing at people. Many Kings loved them and they were always welcomed at their feasts and celebrations cause they had a different perspective about life and society that everyone was find absolutely hilarious. Cynical philosophers believed that in front of life or death, nothing really matters. Truth is I don't think they're crazy istead they are receiving reality 2x times than an ordinary person and they are over-sceptical and judgemental about things and how the system works.
It probably worked just fine in perfect maintenance / test conditions, but degrades badly (very badly) when poor users, poor maintenance, and flying well past 'sane' response to errant sensors happens; as in this case.

Testing new variations of software for a product that works when used as designed/tested already may have been (I'll speculate probably was, and at a low back-burner update priority baked in to some other larger change) in progress; but that's still re-testing and validating a complex system that must fulfill the other test cases (probably with real flight time and conditions).

Particularly when a well trained operator (pilot) is supposed to be able to safely work around the existing defect, and seems to have done so in prior flights of that plain as well.
I agree with you here, though I cannot understand this in "normal consumer tech" either. Most people may not need to know, but a subset of customers does needs to know. People have also incredibly good mental capacity to filter out information not relevant to their needs (as evidenced by continued existence of advertising online).

RE that Boeing quote, I'd really love to know on what research on human mental capacity they based this decision. This is not a snark, I understand that a lot of decisions that go into airplanes are based on solid reasons. This particular doesn't seem to be one, though I'd love to know if I'm wrong about this.

[3] is an opinion piece, [4] says that he was exonorated. However, the wikipedia page says: "After Milošević's death, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) concluded separately in the Bosnian Genocide Case that there was no evidence linking him to genocide committed by Bosnian Serb forces during the Bosnian War. However, the Court did find that Milošević and others in Serbia had committed a breach of the Genocide Convention by failing to prevent the genocide from occurring and for not cooperating with the ICTY in punishing the perpetrators of the genocide, in particular General Ratko Mladić, and for violating its obligation to comply with the provisional measures ordered by the Court."

Just because he was personally exonerated does not imply no genocide happened.

It's a little unusual, but not extremely. There's both the instruction to "aviate, navigate, communicate" -- in that order -- and the fact that when you are "task-saturated" you often straight up fail to hear people talking to you.

Absolutely. YouTube helped me build my first PC, taught me dozens of algorithms / data structures while I was first learning to code, helped me get started with software like PyTorch, Blender, Unity, etc, exposed me to a lot of philosophical thought/thinking and random education I'd never otherwise have stumbled upon, and so much more.

It's got plenty of entertaining stuff also, but the fact that YouTube allows anyone to share anything they know with anyone in the world in a simple, visual format is amazing. Other platforms can do that too, but YouTube is obviously the biggest player in the space right now and there is value in having everything together (see: the Walmart effect).

> but the pilot never once radioed panpan let alone mayday despite having the time to do so.

Probably because he was too busy trying to keep the plane flying. Also, apparently Boieng hadn't notified the airlines and their pilots about this most recent "feature" that could see the airplane "pushing it down unexpectedly and so strongly that flight crews can’t pull it back up", which certainly must have added to the pilots' confusion in this case.

> That warning came as a surprise to many pilots who fly the latest models for U.S carriers. Safety experts involved in and tracking the investigation said that at U.S. carriers, neither airline managers nor pilots had been told such a system had been added to the latest 737 variant—and therefore aviators typically weren’t prepared to cope with the possible risks.
Only that it wasn't some martian silk underwear embroidered with gold and unobtainium threads. Just regular underwear, but even that was something that your regular Soviet citizen had great trouble finding. I can believe that those were of a higher quality than goods provided for regular citizens (elites in the USSR always had access to higher quality, and usually cheaper, goods) but seriously, isn't there something wrong with a picture where a country spends billions on a vanity project but can't even make it so that a well-paid fighter pilot can just go and buy himself whatever underwear he wants?!

Connect the dots for me. How is the existence of crazy people uploading videos to YouTube subsidizing educational content? Advertising is subsidizing educational content because that's how the money flows.

If you were to put everyone literally in a straitjacket, you'd cut down on the number of crazy people shooting up random strangers too. If you want to build such a society, I will help you build it, and help you move there. I'm staying out. I think freedom is a societal net good.

In my spare time I've been developing a Java-based (don't hate me) WYSIWYM tool that integrates R, Markdown, and a fair bit more. For example, Scrivenvar can also transform XML into Markdown via XSLT, then use an R engine to perform computations that are substituted back into the Markdown document prior to generating an HTML preview from the final text. (For the OOP enthusiasts, it uses the Chain-of-Command design pattern.)

I wrote Scrivenvar because I wanted the ability to use interpolated variables while writing, so as to create documents free from duplicated content (e.g., character names, locations, and timeline calculations in a novel). (My favourite part of the book's R code is integration of a GIS API to compute driving distance based on the lat/long coordinates of two places in the novel, falling back to the Haversine formula if the website is unavailable; the number is then converted to English text using a Chicago Manual of Style function call. Effectively, if I change the lat/long of either location, the value of the book is updated without having to remember where in the text that that particular number was referenced.)

Once a YAML document is loaded, inserting a variable is quick: type a few letters from a value followed by Control+Space to insert the corresponding variable name. This is handy if for deeply nested variable hierarchies.

The software is open-source and very much beta:

It's different because companies don't feel guilt. Instead, they are motivated purely by revenues and profits which makes a carbon tax a viable incentive for them to decrease carbon emissions. As of now, there are almost no real repercussions for companies who destroy the environment.
