Maybe. This shutdown though seems extraordinarily petty. I can definitely see how agents could be especially upset that their livelihoods are being jeopardized based on Trump's temper tantrums.
While some parts might (I am do not work for FAA so I do not know), ATCs are not covered. This article [1] covers it better then I will.

I will only add that I do have multiple friends who are ATCs who are currently planning to not get their next pay check (the 14th) due to how things are going. They aren't hurting yet, but it's definitely stressful for them.

Interesting... googled Dark Sky, tried out their web app, will probably download the mobile app. The original article's thesis seems to be on to something :)
The price point listed in the article is about $5000 for what's normally a 6+ hour flight. That much private jet time ranges for $15K-$50K, so it's a fundamentally different market.

I'd be similarly skeptical if it was just for consumer vacations, but there are a lot of business travelers who need to attend short meetings in faraway locations. My wife has 3 cross-country business trips scheduled this month alone, each of which is only for 1-2 days worth of meetings but takes about 4 days including travel time. In one case, she has a meeting in San Francisco in the morning and a dinner in NYC in the evening, and her employer's flying her out the day before so she can call into the SF meeting from NYC and still attend the NYC dinner, because it's physically impossible to make both of them.

It'll probably be a while before any SST is certified to travel over land, but the demand is there. I could see this being very handy for business travelers who regularly need to do NYC <-> London or SF <-> Tokyo <-> Shanghai.
I don't see why a government job should be any safer than a private sector job, unless we explicitly state that the government's job is explicitly to be the employer of last resort for people who can't find jobs otherwise.

Is there something that makes a TSA employee different from, say, a food service sector employee?

That's certainly not how I want my tax dollars to be spent and I'm not sure most people would either if the question was explicitly posed this way.
I was playing with nixos on a raspberry pi the other day, and something in the install image had made curses programs all confused, so I wrote my configuration.nix using The Standard Text Editor instead of nano.
> Rust is not a sandbox language. Even the "safe" subset of the language is still just about preventing bugs, but nowhere near a watertight sandbox required to protect programmers and users from straight-up malware running in their own program.

Not only that, but even just the act of building a dependency is unsafe as dependencies can specify build scripts (which is just Rust code that's compiled and executed prior to building the crate).
The technology around Supersonics has existed for nearly half a century. The Concorde supersonic plane was flown in 1969 - nearly nearly a half century ago. At the time, one of the big cost was gas. Significant improvements has been made to materials to improve gas efficiency for supersonics.

Boom can use the Tesla approach by starting with business class customers to prove the demand then moving down the latter to consumers. Tokyo could be a weekend trip if the flight was five hours.
Healthcare Data Analytics: Which Tool to Choose?
It’s a sad situation.

Unhappy users are much louder than happy or neutral users.

As a result, when a non-US health provider wants to do some informal research on implementing EHRs, they mostly read a lot of angry complaints.
"I was just following orders" is never a valid excuse. If a job is immoral, then it is immoral to perform the job.

If someone gropes a frightened child's genitals, that is an act of evil even if they were ordered to do it by their boss.
Not at all. The ecosystem has matured significantly and it's a crucial part of data infrastructure at pretty much every major tech company I'm aware of. Definitely not as hyped as it was 6-8 years ago, but as far as I'm concerned that's a good thing.
It's actually not that expensive to do:

Done in-house, I'd bet, and that's another disconnect to overcome.

Outsourcing website and/or mobile dev to external company, the focus is often more going to be on whizbangflashy, vs sleek/slim/fast/simple, to justify whatever budget they're getting.

I do find that I end up using the mobile web client for twitter as often as i do the native client. It's not much in either case, but the mobile web client is generally 'good enough' such that if that's where I land, I don't feel a need to jump to the native client.
It's worth noting that commercial airlines are exempted from paying any taxes on fuel worldwide by treaty. [1]

While this may eventually change, in the short term, airlines probably have less to fear about carbon taxes than any other industry.

Our mechanic was ripping us off. There's this scam where they overtighten the screws on the oil pan and crack the gasket. Oil leaks out very slowly and in some cars ends up on the leads to the battery. This corrodes the leads. They then charge you for a new battery and tell you that there is a electrical problem in your car that will cost thousands of dollars, etc, etc. Luckily I knew about this scam and when our car started losing oil directly after an oil change and the mechanics refused to do anything about it, I was able to tell my wife what was about to happen. This convinced her that the mechanics were scamming us.

So the question became, who do we send the car to. There was a young guy down the street. He was taking apart cars and putting them back together again. His friends were all into racing and while he had previously worked at a dealership, he quit to live the dream of repairing racing cars. Of course he was broke. I told my wife to wander over and see if he wouldn't mind looking after our car. Great mechanic and saved us thousands compared to what the swindlers were doing. Previously the car was breaking down all the time. After we switched it never had a problem.
When we replaced our car recently, we gave him our old car as a thank you. Good mechanics are worth keeping happy :-)

It's not really a science for finding people who are good at what they do. There is not a thing that you can pinpoint and say, "That person is definitely good and that person is not". But I think if you start with the proxy of, "That person loves what they do and sacrifices a lot in order to do it", I think you are more likely to find someone good. Not 100%, but you've got a much better shot at it.

Edit: I misinterpreted your post and assumed you meant that you were looking for a good lieutenant to help you. I need more sleep! But either way, work at being that good mechanic in the same way -- love what you do and work hard at it. You'll definitely make progress, so don't worry about it.
“Nutraceuticals” in relation to human skeletal muscle and exercise
When I do my deduction, you don't see me trying to make it look like going to the restaurant with my kids is a business expense. It would be possible to argue...

In your example, while you can certainly argue that, I’d say there’s a not-so-negligible non-zero chance the IRS won’t see it that way and any potential risk/penalties don’t make the upside worth it.
The VA is the best example of single payer system in the US, it does not suffer from either of these problems (though for demographic reasons it suffers from a host of others).

As for the private options do any of them have the weird employer provided health care indirection?
Unfortunately, the TSA is a fairly small part of the US government.

So cheering for the shutdown specifically to choke TSA is like cutting your nose off to spite your face.
I have no threshold for when someone is worthy to talk about C++ on the Internet. What I don't particularly like is people complaining about things they don't seem to have made much effort to understand. I'm happy to answer questions for people who genuinely want to learn about C++ (my top 5% ranking for C++ answers on Stack Overflow attests to that I think).

There's never been a better time to learn C++ - there's a wealth of free resources online from conference videos to blogs to podcasts like CppCast. C++ standardization is more active than ever and the language is getting better with each update to the standard and there is a real effort to also make it simpler which I believe is mostly succeeding. Implementations have also improved a lot in recent years. It's just the pace of change is such that there is work to do to effectively communicate that fact to people who don't pay much attention to the development of the language.

I think if you want a long term career in this industry you need to dedicate at least ~5 hours / week of your own time to professional development on an ongoing basis. If you work with C++ on a daily basis then spending some of that time working through CppCon videos (I like to watch at 1.25x speed) and other free online resources is a good idea IMO. I'd also advocate writing a bunch of small programs from scratch to explore unfamiliar features or libraries. Working through programming interview type problems can be good practice, or just try things out to satisfy your own curiosity. I'd say getting in the habit of writing a small program to experiment with something new was the biggest factor in increasing my comfort level and understanding of the language.
It doesn't, but now both the original author and some number of independent reviewers have to do stupid things in order to cause harm. That's an improvement to the current situation where you mainly trust the author in most cases.

A review is only valid for a specific version/hash of a set of files, so if you only upgrade your dependencies once they have enough trusted reviews you should be safe.
You're using OP to mean "the root-level HN comment" where @endorphone thought you meant TFA.
Some wireless access points have a fixed IP over time, which lets IBM reasonably predict "anyone coming from ipaddr X is probably using wifi Y which is provably at lat/long Z" with sufficient levels of certainty.

This probably works better with "My Home AP Uses A Cute Name That's Hilarious" if your IP rarely changes and you have other software leaking data to IBM, but less well for "xfinitywifi".
Which 20 Republican senators do you imagine are going to stop him?
There's an entire industry of companies dedicated to kiosks, security etc. But the reality of time at the airport is margin to avoid costly missed connections and mandatory security checks which aren't things which can be cut with technology.

The bigger problem for a business case for paying extra to fly supersonic is that convenience is as much about timing of landing as length of flight, especially in an era where portable computers and digital connectivity exists and regular long haul flights are generally comfortable enough for the average business class flyer to sleep on. Cutting three or four hours out of an 12 hour flight doesn't sound quite so exciting when you realise that it's a choice between 8 hours in a seat or 12 hours in a lie flat bed with a choice of departure times and arrival airports.

If we follow your suggestions we're finding apps through third-party recommendations, not through an app store.

I have found useful apps through a store, but it does often involve sifting through a lot of misleading junk.
Thanks for the feedback. We're actually going through that idea. It will surely be done in a few days. :)

While unofficially it is true that KMS is "reliable," in our case, our customers demand SLAs from our services, and we could not build a service and guarantee an SLA while using SLA-less services.

Better to be safe than sorry.

> That said, there are fair number of common-sense low or zero cost safeguards any technical employees could implement to help mitigate threats.

The cost isn't in the safeguards. The cost is in the governance structures (i.e. time spent by mid-level managers) that ensure the safeguards are followed and applied consistently across the organization.

Encrypting database fields is basically free. Making sure all database fields that should be encrypted are is an expensive process.

I was also very surprised by this. I'm having a hard time accepting that I'd have to manually concat my columns to create sort keys and keep track of the corresponding queries for them, e.g. "BEGINS WITH..."? Granted, I only watched the video so maybe I'm missing something and that was just to simplify the presentation.
i dislike the TSA and i hate the Pornoscanner and i am enraged by America's invasions of dozens of middle east countries and endless wars, but sacking TSA is not a good thing.

there are over 100,000 ISIS jihadis around the world. ISIS has invented new types of bombs targetted at air transport, as well as novel hacks of lithium ion batteries in phones and computers to turn them into invisible bombs. ISIS has already blown up one jet, from Cairo to Moscow, killing hundreds of innocent people.

nobody should be cheering at the TSA being laid off. anything that removes layers of redundant security from our airport screening is a threat to all of us. this only makes things easier for ISIS. now ISIS knows they stand better odds at getting a bomb onboard a jet.

this is all the Democrats fault. we the people voted for The Wall. the majority wants the wall. why can't the Democrats give us what we want? why will the Democrats play dice with ISIS like stubborn babies instead of just giving the voters what we want? if ISIS pulls off a second 9/11, it will all be blamed on the Democrats, who are weak on security and who want to surrender America over to foreign control.

Android actually covers many of the "pros" listed here. It's cheap and fast to deploy. It's also easier to SEO an Android app than a website, from my experience. Mobile searches will turn up your app. Customer acquisition cost can also be very low.

I'll add one other reason to use apps - it's best suited for things that happen as a kind of habit. For example a meditation app or a to do list is going to be more successful as an app than site.

One study on psilocybin as a treatment for depression! Not on psilocybin overall. Link to the one existing study is in my article.
I don't understand how Windows "gets this right" other than by accident. In the Win32 heyday it was in their interest to have you code against kernel32, advapi, etc. so that your stuff works on 9x and NT, maybe CE. Now 9x/CE are gone and ntdll often has the "good" interfaces and the public wrapper APIs kind of lag behind. (Maybe ntdll itself having stubs and not telling the program to SYSENTER directly is the "good" design?) Meanwhile in the Linux world you have plenty of iteration on syscalls, you might say there is too much. They have to maintain cruft but OK.

libc as the boundary doesn't make sense either as glibc is not the Linux kernel, by design, and there are other libcs in common production, like in a billion Android phones.
Applied for BI position, unpacked properly and got the file with infamous msg, figured out contact from image data but upon communicating results never got any reply from Mystical machine. Nonetheless, interesting challenge.
It's 5120 bytes for the both of them, the access is not at all random (due to color popularity), and the real cache killer is the image itself. You're dealing with a few megabytes for the image.
> That's hardly a challenging problem that requires a fat client.

That's irrelevant. It doesn't matter that making a fat client for HN isn't necessary; that's completely beside the point. You're looking for reasons to ignore the stated premise of an analogy rather than accepting that the premise would be true.

It's like this. Say you were beginning to explain how network services work with an anecdote: "Say you need to go to the market to get a carton of milk." Suddenly your listener stops you and says, "But I don't like milk."

If your response to the above paragraph is, "But I don't know how network services work," then, congratulations, you can look forward to an exciting career in either comedy or politics, depending on whether or not you were serious.
Except money is inheritable and genuine social value is not.

Indeed, since some 50% of wealth is now owned by about 1% of the population, it is clear that a vast percentage of wealth is now obtained through inheritance.
Yes, he literally did. Right here:

> - Some people decide that they'll stick with their phone a bit longer than they otherwise would have, reducing iPhone sales.

> - Apple misses their earnings target, likely costing them more in value than it would have cost them to address the root issue in the first place.

There's an implicit "because of this" between the two bullet points.

Again, it's painting a problem that is 5% of the issue as if it's 100%.

China was the vast majority of this decline, as the earnings reports show.

I have no earthly idea why people are ignoring this fact so badly.
> protocols

The "protocol" changes constantly, sometimes even in the course of a single trip through security. My last flight, which was during the shutdown, had a TSA officer take over his coworker. The coworker had been telling us to keep food in bags; this guy told us to take it all out. I've also had an officer tell me to "remove anything electronic" from my body, but "to keep my watch on". My watch was a smart watch, of course; there is literally no way to comply with that direction. (I've taken to just removing these prior to getting there, after this absurd incident.)
We better get off HN, then, because this ain't a true necessity.
They can't distinguish billboards from real threats so the promise of FSD is complete vapor.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't one of the concerns regarding supersonic flight the increased impact of higher-altitude emissions?

It probably wouldn't significantly alter the cost of carbon neutrality, but something to bear in mind.
>I'm kind of surprised by these 'browser is so bad' comments. Anyone here tried to make a browser before? Anyone make one less buggy than Safari?

No they have full non-benign cancers, they are just so slow growing that the person with them normally dies of something else first although plenty of people in their 80s and 90s die of cancer.

Yes the life expectancy increase from curing cancer is only around 2 years, but it is the essential first step to doing something major about ageing.
The situation we have now -- that no ISV can make a living -- is precisely the result of decades of making software Free and Open such that it has become a commodity. The only money to be made left is in services, and that market is increasingly captured by AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Services, leading to centralization, stagnation, and self-referential pseudo-innovation a la Docker (and increasingly, the web). I whish F/OSS purists would focus on solving today's problems rather than defending ideas of their youth.

Thanks, very interesting!

So what about superpositions of events i.e. two motifs overlapping, anyone any thoughts on that?

I guess this just means a lot more swiping of observed patterns over the timeseries and thus being somewhat slow.
Any, if they feel the political cost of following Trump isn't worth the benefit.

They'll make a stubborn show of defiance but in due course some deal will be struck and some defections will occur because holding the government hostage to fund a wall to keep the Mexicans out is insane. Trump may be willing to fight to the bitter end for that but I guarantee no career Republican politician is.
That's impractical for the vast majority of use cases. The performance costs would be enormous, turning millisecond response times into seconds in many cases.
This would be a great time for them to find new jobs, with lots of new jobs being created and wages rising.

The jobs they have now should be eliminated.
