I think with these types of incidents being very rare, it's hard to extrapolate to any kind of patterns.

Not within the year, and I'm sure there are more (for both Boeing and Airbus), but this one comes to mind on an Airbus that's pretty scary -- thankfully occurred at cruising altitude: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qantas_Flight_72
Not really. GP's comment is borne out of frustration with public-facing Internet, built by those framework jockeys. It doesn't mean the same problem isn't happening over at corporate.

Speaking of which, having worked a bit in corporate setting, I have my own extra point of hatred here too: I saw perfectly good, if crappy looking, server-side, plain HTML intranet apps replaced with most recent JavaScript framework shitfest, making my life extra miserable as I suddenly had to deal with some apps I was forced to use stealing computing resources from the very job I had to do.
110% and 30% by what metrics though?

My 30% could be somebody else's 110%, though that's not the likely scenario we're talking about.

What if instead, some people put in 110% by putting in 14 hour days and others are judged more harshly who have family or other obligations. This is how we get an industry of 20-somethings with no lives other than work. In a forced attrition scenario, if I were on a team with people significantly younger than myself, I would be shitting bricks.

... As a volunteer and not a FTE, it may be a worthwhile exercise to build a prototype of the new functionality with whatever tools you happen to be familiar with with the expectation that they'll figure out a way to accomplish the same objectives with their existing systems. If that's not possible, there may be a business opportunity: are there other organizations with the same need? Is there a sustainable market for such a solution? You may be building to be acquired.
Because it is a waste of time and money for the police to do anything, if the DA is going to drop the case. It is a waste of time for the DA to do anything, if the judge will drop the case. It is a waste of time for the judge to do anything, if the prisons are full, expensive and downsizing such that these kind of offenders are not exceptional enough and therefore right back on the street.

That is 100% true. It's a regulatory issue that politics could address. Having no proper age verification is not illegal.

Well there’s the rub isn’t it. I don’t think most people would consciously decide to rat out their friends secrets for $20 - or indeed for any price. But somehow, it’s happening.
> I am not sure this argument works, because it's continuation is that "they also brought us autism inducing vaccines, cancer inducing wifi, and potato fish hybrids that are evil in some vague way".

Just because wifi doesn't induce cancer doesn't mean it's a good idea to have plastic leeching into our water. I don't see the correlation.

Also, I should add that messing with the balance of an ecosystem can have drastic unforeseen consequences. China decided to get rid of sparrows (or some other small bird) mid-20th century, and for the next few years they were struck with famine because there were no birds left to control the locust population, which then multiplied out of control.

The issue is not just that it's ‘slow’, but that it's frequently slower even than std::map. My suspicion is that the issue is its use of power-of-2 sizes, which is a terrible idea for binary search because it causes cache line aliasing. This is discussed in a lot of detail by Paul Khuong.

https://www.pvk.ca/Blog/2012/07/30/binary-search-is-a-pathol...

> Even without that hurdle, the slowdown caused by aliasing between cache lines when executing binary searches on vectors of (nearly-)power-of-two sizes is alarming. The ratio of runtimes between the classic binary search and the offset quaternary search is on the order of two to ten, depending on the test case.

The approaches there are likely to give significant speedups.

It doesn't at all. It's an explanation why it might happen.They never said that this behavior won't be fixed or changed. It's not blaming the pilots.
These things get really weird really quick. I worked for a hardware startup that (of course) had just brutal delays in shipping their product. This included scrapping an entire product line and shipping a less ambitious, but somewhat orthogonal one.

So 3 times in two years there was a big push for the marketing, customer success, developer relations, and support etc teams to get ready for a launch that never happened.

How exactly is a customer success person supposed to be judged as a high performer if there are no customers? Support people sitting by a phone that never rings?

This is an obvious example, but I find the same thing really often in engineering groups: "I was asked to do X. I killed myself to make X happen. Turns out X wasn't relevant to the business and now it's all being shut down and I'm a lower performer."

It caught on plenty for that purpose. See also: Minecraft and Android.

It probably would've caught on more/sooner on the desktop if it had adopted a native-look-and-feel GUI toolkit earlier rather than later. Hopefully a WASM reincarnation of Java's cross-platform goals will prioritize that sort of look-and-feel integration.
Thanks!

The law is generally concerned with intent, not technicalities, so that likely wouldn't satisfy what they were asking.

> In 2016, a local court came to Posteo with a warrant, demanding all existing and future data relating to the suspect's email account. Posteo implemented surveillance of the account but told the cops that, as it doesn't log traffic data, there was nothing on that front to share.

> Prosecutors complained that Posteo had the IP addresses and was discarding them [...]

> The local court told Posteo to collect all future IP addresses. [...]

> Posteo's lack of users' IP addresses is not the result of "a lack of available data", the court ruled, but rather because of its "decision to hide this data from its internal system and to refrain from recording it due to data-protection concerns". "Thus, the situation at hand was created solely by the business and system model that was deliberately chosen by the complainant," the court said.

So basically, they had a warrant to monitor all data on an account, but the court found they deliberately were not complying with the warrant by not logging some of the data they had.

They are not being asked to always log IP addresses, but rather to comply with the warrant.

> "To put it bluntly, we will not start logging the IP addresses of our respectable customers," the post read. It went on to say [...] Posteo would only gather IP addresses in relation to a mailbox that is subject to a surveillance warrant.

> So would what Posteo is proposing satisfy the courts? According to Carlo Piltz, an information privacy lawyer with Reusch Law in Berlin, it probably would.

It seems to me this is very different than being required to always log IP addresses of every account.

Pilot error happens and the equipment is expected to make it as difficult as possible. If a simple action can endanger a plane-load of passengers, that’s a bug regardless of whether the pilot is supposed to do that.
I agree with you, I want a User Agent to empower me as I browse the web and not hide things from me. Even if the majority of users don't understand URLs (which I dispute) - its certainly not hurting or impending them.

In reference to running 3rd party code, knowing the URL is even more important as it decides what is considered 3rd party or not. When I'm on an AMP website - google is the 1st party and the content provider is now considered the 3rd party. I don't agree with allowing google to be considered the 1st party in that instance.

Garbage collection just shifts some of the responsibility, which means that garbage collector dictates part of the algorithm.

When there are 'lock free' data structures that are just flipping pointers with compare and exchange instructions, they are essentially ignoring the storage of memory all together and hoping the garbage collection takes care of it, while optimally the data structure would confront the storage of data and organization of access in an integrated way.

If iframes are evil, why do top websites allow ad networks to embed with them?
Go to your favorite news outlet's website, find an ad, right click it and choose Inspect. You'll likely see that it was embedded using a cross-domain iframe.

If iframes are so evil and insecure, then why are they still allowed to be used by top websites to let third-party ad networks embed ads?

Please don't ask why I would want to use iframes. I have my reasons for a specific scenario. I know they aren't good for SEO, they are hard to resize, hard to debug, present bookmarking concerns, hard to get to look good, etc.

I'm looking for responses strictly from a security standpoint.

When used properly with the "x-frames-options" and the right "content-security-policy" headers, are cross-domain iFrames still insecure? If so, can you please point me to documented facts?
I was not trying to suggest that, I was trying to convey that once a spy agency has remote access (sanctioned or otherwise) we can see by this example how it is proliferated and abused.
"low code" is a thing apparently.
> . But their mission isn’t to own every device — it’s to own a select few, probably on the order of hundreds or thousands a year.

Things like Room 641A show that the government doesn't even need to engage the courts to collect data on millions of people and further, that they are not limiting their collection efforts to a few hundreds or thousands of devices a year.
The aviation safety world doesn't believe in pilot-error.
This scares me. Not so much the action by apple ( they are flexing their muscle), but the reactions here. "Great!", is the jist.

It you think an unilateral revoke, and shutdown of a company internal tools, because of an external issue, without recourse is a good thing... I'm guessing you have no issues with Crazy EULA's, Monopolies, Corporate abuse, Corporations doing as they please. ( I can keep going down this slope.. )

Facebook had a program, with willing participants, that broke a third parties rules. We can argue infinitum about this.

But this is a company, STOPPING your usage of YOUR hardware, AFTER you purchased it (I'm talking about apple stopping Facebook from distributing internal tools as well, this is the side effect of this ). Think deep and clear about this. Are you ok with this?

Secondly, from the company (apple ) that literally turned everyones devices into wiretaps, globally, and ignored the issue for who knows how long... This is just.. wow. ( and they continue not to issue a formal reason for this ).

Just.. wow.
I know, right? Spy on your competition without anyone's consent and then simply make them an offer they can't refuse...
Airbus has a limitation on one of their airplanes for Rudder Range - https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/2012/11/19/air...
Yes, this a known "bug". It was pretty heavy to make it work so felt back to just breaking the next node connection and adding a note to the backlog
That aircraft was being knowingly flown with [edit: a broken sensor]. It was unsafe on takeoff.

The final problem that brought the aircraft down - the trim run-away - happens all the time in airliners you've flown in. When the run-away starts, the pilot is supposed to flip two switches to disable the trim system motors. In the Lion Air crash, it is indeed believed that a software bug from the misbehaving sensors started the run-away, but again, handling trim run-aways are something that pilots are supposed to train for and deal with.

737's are even safer here than many airliners, because after you disable the electric trim motors, you have manual wheels in the cockpit that you can rotate to set the trim back to what it should be. Some other airliners in common use don't have these manual trim controls - you have to disable a trim run-away in time, or it's game over.
Ask HN: What are my options before sunsetting my (failed) startup?
I created a startup with an idea that I firmly believe in. I launched and I also got a bunch of sign ups but active users are very few and growth has been basically zero.

It was a lot of work and I'd love to see the project live on.

Ideally I would like to find somebody or a team that would continue executing the idea. How would I go about finding such a team?

I have a job that I very much enjoy and haven't put much time into it in the last 6 months.

Thanks for any input.
You really, really do not want the reverse thrust to turn on in-AIR. That would be way worse then then engine shutting down.
Could you elaborate on each of those four points? How did you come to these conclusions?
Good point. But the people on the other end of the calls - whose data is also being collected - are afforded that right.
> Would you say that the current political climate has been harmful? I would. I would not only say that, but I would also say that it's come about specifically because of data collection practices which have enabled data analysis of entire populations in a way which has never been seen before.

Seriously, look at the state of peoples finances. That's the cause. Look at the amount of money the rich have compared to those who voted for Trump, Brexit, etc. Look at the quality of life.

I tried medium a while back, but when they started blocking posts (without an account), I stopped.
Indeed. And that is just an extension of the danger presented by electronic systems generally.

When learning to fly sailplanes, I was always grateful that the "primitive" wood, steel and canvas gliders I flew had purely mechanical linkages between the controls and the control surfaces, and only one instrument that required electricity at all (and even that was duplicated by a purely mechanical version).

Obviously automation has great advantages, but inevitably the increased complexity comes with risks which are more difficult to fully comprehend.
I heard horror stories about Amazon many years before the NYT article. The idea that Amazon suddenly went downhill afterwards is ludicrous.
K bye.
One reason people reach for the "big guns" is also career progression. Hell, I started learning React recently precisely because of that: I prefer to touch the Web as little as possible, but everything is now eaten by SPAs, so one may as well just bite the bullet and get ready for the next job... The same reasoning currently motivates all but one of my backend co-workers, they're all learning React now. At my previous job (backend/desktop), people too started to learn Angular and React, just to jump on the (perceivably) safer, and much better paid, career path.
Late to the party here, but if touching the cable introduces noise no matter which software you run, maybe you have a ground loop problem or a really poorly shielded cable. You might try a different, decent quality cable. If that doesn't make a difference try connecting the cases of the Scarlett and the computer. It might be enough to set the Scarlett on the computer case.
There is a notion of blame wrapped up with "too quickly".
It doesn't seem like anyone was enthusiastic about trying them even for practice. According to the Wikipedia page on space shuttle abort modes (linked to from the apollo abort modes page), NASA considered making the first flight of Columbia a practice RTLS abort; but the mission commander, John Young, declined, saying "let's not practice Russian roulette".
Same with Kafka. I honestly think we're better for having his writing than destroying his work like he asked.

Verdi—and Kafka—could have burnt his notes as he went so a part of me thinks, maybe he was just being coy.
Software is like any other technology. It can be a liability or an asset or both depending on how it’s built.

Sometimes software fails and sometimes it even kills people, but how many lives has it also saved because of things like collision avoidance and accurate navigation?

If someone is trying to do concurrency by using 80 million contested atomic ops per second, they are likely doing just about everything wrong. The currency of concurrency is isolation from dependencies and synchronization. 80 million small synchronizations per second is the polar opposite of how to get good performance.

Sure they can. GDPR was necessarily because tech has largely obliterated the right to privacy online, with like buttons, analytics, ad networks, etc.
Forgive me, I'm not that familiar with rust, but I assumed that borrow checking got rid of the notion of two threads sharing the same data structure and therefore got rid of the need for locks? What's going on with this library? Are locks often used in rust?
Yea, how many other companies abuse the Enterprise program like this? Should we really trust Apple to enforce their TOS when they struggle to keep up with the usage of their own platform? If there’s informed consent, Apple isn’t really protecting users.

Those teens in the FB case tho.
Yes. It likely that the reporters don't understand the technology involved, so their reporting on that topic is pretty vague. Humans tend to look where there's light, even if they know that't not the most likely place to find it. That said we have the words exploit, imessage, full access, email/phone number. We can piece together that they use a 'buffer overrun' style exploit to break out of iMessage, and and possibly several other exploits, till they have remote code execution on the device, and then they install a bot/server to collect data. Really difficult in practice, but a familiar pattern. IIRC there's a Wired article recently that reviews similar tech from another company, the author of that article says he sets his phone down in their office, and minutes later they have access to all his data.
MS managers had a hack around this - a few months before expected lay-off cycle they hired some incompetent developers or developers from their competition they hated, then let them go at the time of lay-off. Wouldn't be surprised if Amazon managers used similar tricks.
> The F35 lost radio communication after crossing the international date line the wrong direction IIRC, and the pilots had to use hand signals to land.

From what I remember, the first time 4 USAF F22 were flying across international date line to deploy to Hawaii(?), they had software related issues. As they flew across the international date line (first time in a real flight), all computers on the jets crashed, including navigation/etc.

Luckily they were flying in close formation with a tanker, signaled with flashlights, and were able to follow the tanker back to another base safely.

I believe USAF requires a multi jet (usually tanker) to accompany small jets when they are flying across the ocean.
Much awaited release. I've been running my entire application line up on Alpine it's been awesome! I wish more Cloud / Hosting providers have default Alpine Images. I've been using alpine's APK packaging system to manage software builds and release cycles.

So for those who are curious my CI builds the software into packages automatically versioning them and marking the build versions, storing the packages in my GCS bucket and then automatically runs apk add --upgrade on my package. All orchestrated with Terraform and LXD, no docker / Kubernetes involved whatsoever. Now there is also apk-autoupdate which I look forward to exploring and seeing how it can simplify my build process.
