> I guess what I am saying is; there seems to be a deep unwillingness to criticize Boeing. This isn't recent or specific to this accident, Boeing is a very challenging topic to discuss without people getting tribal. Why is that?

Boeing is a large employer in the United States, people will get defensive when it threatens their livelihood. That said, as evidenced by the internal AA email Boeing fucked up. Rational or not I'm not planning on setting foot on a MAX anytime soon (and was fully prepared to get a refund if Southwest were to sub a MAX on my last flight).

But... you've also got the Indonesian aviation industry to contend with. Indonesian air travel is notoriously unsafe and in fact all Indonesian airlines were banned from EU airspace for a while. Lion Air, as well, stands out as being less safe than the Indonesian average.

Here's an example:

Watch the second landing. I'm not a pilot but I'm pretty sure that the pilot not flying is NOT supposed to adjust the control surfaces in an unannounced manner. Likewise I'm pretty sure you're supposed to arm the speed brakes BEFORE you touch down. Shit like that is why people pile onto Lion Air (and Indonesian airlines).
They start those programs years into the product cycle (afaik the 2018 model isn't covered at the moment). They decide every time if it is a warranty case. They decide if other parts need replacement first and you have to pay for those. - Also you actually paid for that, because Apple doesn't loses money on Macs. It's priced in.

For other manufactures you just buy the replacement part for 40 bucks on amazon, it comes to your house and you replace it yourself within ten minutes. I prefer that cheap, zero downtime solution even if I have to pay for it myself.

It's nice that this warranty program exists, but it's a band aid, not a fix.

This will be the normal state in India too if we buckle to US lobbying and capitalist pressure. There is extraordinary and continuous (every-day) compulsion on Indian diplomats, trade officials and politicians to keep expanding the scope of the Patents Act, reduce the scope of generics, and decrease the 'innovation threshold' of what can be patented so as to allow continuous ever-greening of drugs. I am not confident that the Indian government can withstand this in the long term.

In what way does it seem like that? There are many, many more _sightings_ in the current decade than the last, with a repeating pattern for about 50 to 70 years or so. Cellphone cameras are partially responsible for that, but unfortunately camera quality of most phones kinda sucks. That represents a different set of problems.

Besides what nrclark has written on his/her comment, C11 dropped gets() and the introduction of the new memory model in C11 might break code that was relying on CPU specific semantics not in synch with it.

Regarding C++:

- auto changed its meaning on C++11

- export templates were removed in C++11

- exception specifications were deprecated in C++11, removed in C++17 and might do a come back in C++23 with value based exceptions

- gets() got removed in C++11

- declspec and auto had a small semantic difference, settled in C++17

- initializer lists introduced in C++11 changed their auto deduction type in C++17

- the required implementation semantics for std::string in C++11 broke COW in compilers like GCC.

Just a small list, there are a couple more.
This is the most insane conspiracy nonsense I’ve read on HN.

Facebook had lobbyists targeting every member of Congress. Apple works tirelessly to put their profits in tax shelters. Amazon has well-documented stories of pushing its warehouse workers past their limits. Google’s chairman spent years openly laughing at the idea of “privacy.” You think these companies need help from foreign actors to look bad?

If this line of thinking is common in SV, the echo chamber effect is worse than I suspected.
A monopoly is what we have right now.

> Sadly, the Chinese government has less incentive to let the poor survive. It’s a cold, heartless form of population control. [...]

I have some friends who lived in Canada for a while. They said the Canadian medical system doesn't go all-out to treat people with cancer, which is probably just as well. Someone I knew (United States) just passed away from cancer. She spent 3 years getting treated, then died after a single day on hospice care. Medicare paid in full, I'm sure: that final operation was not a success, but the doctors were paid anyways.

Everyone dies eventually. American doctors are trained to try all the interventions they can possibly think of in a futile effort to prevent the inevitable. If my grandparents would have had to pay for their final months of interventions themselves, they certainly would have chosen to leave the funds in their estate. But since Medicare was paying they begrudgingly went along for the ride.
> This doesn't sound right. Boeing planes are much less fly-by-wire than Airbus, and this is especially true for the older models such as the 757 in this crash.

The plane that crashed was not a 757 it was a 737 MAX.

> This crash involves a 737 MAX - a very modern fully fly-by-wire aeroplane.

The 737 MAX is NOT a fully FBW airplane. The MAX does have a FBW spoiler which the previous 737s (Jurassic, Classic, NG) lack.

> The difference you're probably thinking of is the Boeing philosophy of ultimate pilot control vs the Airbus one of software restrictions. A pilot can fly a Boeing aircraft outside of its designed envelope, but an Airbus will restrict the inputs.

That's not entirely true, all 737s will put additional pressure on the yoke when a stall is detected. You can fly a 737 into a stall, but with quite a bit of effort. Similarly you can fly a modern Airbus into a stall provided you're in one of the degraded "laws". Air France pilots did just that with an A330.

Where the MAX differs from other 737s is that when a stall is detected it will trim the stabilizer -- even worse when the computer predicts a stall the 737 may end up trimming the stabilizer to the point that you cannot overcome it with the elevator.

On a 737 the elevators respond quickly while the trim adjustments are much, much slower. If you're 5,000 ft in the air and Boeing decides to trim the stabilizer full down you may already crash by the time you can re-trim the plane and regain control. Previous 737s did NOT do this. I believe that LOT specifically emphasizes this in their MAX training, unsure if Lion Air did/does.

I used to think that, but then I realised that the Internet is mostly just a porn-delivery device.

Plus, there's the 4-chan factor, as in: if there is going to be another world war, it'll start because of something someone posted on 4-chan ... I mean look how easily the Internet was usurped to provide the "but Russia!" narrative, eagerly embraced by many a hawk as a means to a violent end ..
I'm sure it's coming, but it would be nice if the smart replies used more of my phrases instead of Google's reccomendations, and mixed them up so it's no so obvious that you clicked on a smart reply. Also, clicking a smart reply doesn't automatically send the email, and still requires another click. It might be a good feature to "feel lucky" with when clicking.

A deep dive into Conversion Rate Optimization tactics used by Expedia
That IPR is an interesting blockchain/DLT use case is well known, what is perhaps not that well known is that Google does not like permissionless blockchain solutions as it would disrupt their conceptually centralized platform model. A few years ago there was a start-up planning such a solution for handling IPR related to music, but the copyrights holders or rather their national governance agencies did not want to enlist their IPR through this system, possibly because a transparent automatic system would have replaced these governing bodies and their armies of lawyers. Hopefully the @European Commission will fund a standardization effort regarding IPR and a permissionless blockchain solution to solve the issue described in the article. The worst case scenario is that Google pushes its own ContentID solution on everyone and charges a percentage to perform the billing. This is a much larger issue than what is presented by the CEO.

Ball lightning? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning
No. Just compare the difficulty of getting a regular driver's license to that of a license to fly commercial airliners. It's safe to say that _almost_ every pilot can control a plane without incident when sensors / automated systems fail, so long as they are given full manual control. Automation overriding pilot inputs during sensor failure is a recipe for disaster.
that reference you can't find right now seems rather pertinent?

I think the OP intended and should have written:

"It's theoretically impossible to guarantee a convergence to global optima using gradient descent for an arbitrary non-convex function."

For example consider the function f(x)=sin^2(pi * x)+sin^2(pi * N/x) this function has multiple global minima at the divisors of N, where it is f(x)==0, if x or N/x is non-integer, it is guaranteed to be positive...

I am not taking a stance on if gradient descent does or does not guarantee finding global minima and is thus able to factorize cryptographic grade RSA products of primes, but the claim does appear to imply it.

Edit: the multiply symbols changed some cursive

Hey full eempathy and encouragement for you, but you’re making a mistake here.

First, yes a resume is a small thing but unfortunately they can matter and can influence your succces so flip that bit in your thinking as soon as possible.

Secondly some could interpret the comment as attitude of being ungrateful or low motivation.

Here's a trick though: for a lot of companies, startups in particular, their expected lifetime is comparable to the expected lifetime of the proprietary software/services they depend on. It's quite likely that they'll fold themselves before their vendor does.

I don't like this much (especially the part when an exit-oriented startup will say they want to "change the world" and/or they "care about the users", but it's how things are.
I think what gets me about Gary V's "hustle porn" ethos is that most people don't realise he had a career for AGES selling wine for his family wine business and making wine tasting videos for over a decade on youtube. He's posted over 1,000 wine tasting videos. Long before he was known as the hero of hustle porn he was spitting cali cab in his Jets bucket and waxing lyrical about the palate of said wine. I love wine more than most but the thought of producing a 10-20 minute tasting video roughly every 3.6 days for a decade sounds like a sure fire way to cure yourself of imbibing. The guy's a machine.
Recovering data from a failed RAID array. A personal story
As an experienced programmer, its easier to go through quick tutorials and cheatsheets for a brief understanding.

Once you are comfortable, its better to hit the ground by building a small POC or a small project.

In my case, I learned languages and frameworks including React in a similar way. While creating a project in React, I came across advanced topics like Redux, GraphQL. I hit pause button and spend few hours looking in google on Redux and GraphQL. That's how I utilized my time in learning new languages or concepts.

Hi there! I just started using Zulip (first-time user) looking forward to migrate off Slack and unfortunately I've been really disappointed. In Slack I can just load the website and begin typing into whatever channel I'm at (or use 1 click to select the right one if it's not the current one). In Zulip, it seems there's been a deliberately goal of explicitly designing it to be excruciating painful. For some reason Enter doesn't work by default (in which chat system is Enter an unfamiliar command for sending?!), and then I always have to press 'R' or click something to reply to (which often takes multiple clicks and several seconds)... why make things deliberately complicated/painful without even an option to turn off this 'feature'?

but then there is very little of interest: (assuming enough smoothness and Lipschitz continuity) one expects every global minima to have a convex neighbourhood such that gradient descent starting within the neighbourhood reaches the global minimum. The initialize many times and sometimes it converges is just saying the obvious "there exist initial positions for which GD succeeds in finding a global minima"... is my interpretation correct?

Your argument is that if cameras don't help with fraud or wage theft or domestic violence, they serve no purpose.

Cameras may impact street crime, and street crime is rampant in many U.S. cities. White collar crime has no bearing on this, and it's irrelevant to the discussion.

There are companies so freaked out by the idea of leaking user passwords that they just don't use any auth method other than a link sent to the user's email address.

A couple major considerations if you're using that approach:

- When do those links expire?

- Do you keep logs of the pages that people request from your server?

An unexpired link compromises the user just as much as a password leak would have, since those links _are_ the user passwords. But server logs generally aren't tied down as tightly as a more obviously sensitive password database would be.

The nightmare scenario here is "every time the user needs to log in, we generate a new password for them, and every password stays valid forever. Whenever anyone actually does log in, we record their password in our server logs, available at www.ourcompany.com/debug/ . Then we send it to a dozen different third-party analytics providers."

I do not think that is an accurate description of how most YouTube employees feel. It is certainly not an accurate description of mine. You have cause-and-effect completely backwards: it is not because I "hate Trump" that I condemn hate speech and conspiratorial content, but rather it is because I oppose hate speech and conspiracy theories that I think Trump deserves to be condemned.

As for the role of content platforms, others have already explained the difference between a journalistic publisher and a mere content filter better than I can, so I won't bother to repeat it here.

Perhaps I am too optimistic, but I do not believe most of the large minority of Americans that voted for Trump did so because he espouses hate and bigotry, but rather despite it. I think many conservatives who voted for Trump overlooked his rhetoric due to partisan fervor or because they were convinced Clinton was worse, rightly or wrongly. I do not believe the alt-right and unabashed racists are a "large percentage of the American population" or that public platforms need accept their hateful views.

I do believe conservative voices deserve to be heard, whether I agree with them or not. But it would be doing principled conservatives a disservice to conflate them with Trumpists and the so-called alt-right. I understand there may be concern about where to draw the line, but I think any government regulation your "bi-partisan group" produces is more likely to do harm than good in the current political context.
