To elaborate on seiferteric: If the engine were just an unducted fan, the input and output volumes and velocities would be the same, and if they're pointed in opposite directions, there would be zero net force.

In a jet engine though, you have a nozzle on the back, so the input area is greater than the output area. Heating the air also causes it to take up much more volume. These put together, mean that the output velocity is much greater than the input velocity, so there is a momentum transfer from the atmosphere to the plane.
Hey hnnh44,

Good eye. I should have caught that one. I've updated the post to indicate the correct numbers (which was more like ~35 million units in 2017) and added an editor's note about the mistake. Thanks!

Haven't working with developers from the coding bootcamps - we require all developers have a 4 year CS degree. Generally not seeing the problems you are. Don't know if that's a different between bootcamps and 4 year degrees or if it's just an anecdote. I do know that there are some people who simply have no problem-solving skills - and these are people having 4 year degrees. I haven't run across many of them but there have been a couple that are as you describe.

Since you're hiring so many people from coding bootcamps maybe you should try a different tactic: find out what they were doing before the bootcamp. Were they doing something that required analysis and problem-solving like an auto mechanic, handyman or plumber or something? Or were they doing non-analytical white collar work where you follow a set process? The former will make good developers, the latter, not so much. Heck, we hired a photocopier repair man who though he didn't have a 4 year CS degree, he did have 5 years experience in IT with another firm (the "or equivalent" clause) and he's been an awesome developer. Anecdotally speaking, I've noticed most developers who fix their own cars, do their own handyman work or simply worked in fields doing a lot of analysis and problem-solving are very good at being developers. It's the analysis and problem-solving skills you're after, the domain knowledge will come with time.

In a separate vein, if you're looking at people who have 4 year degrees and attended a bootcamp so they could find work, the 4 year degree is an indicator of their ability to analyze and problem solve. Mathematicians, engineers, and the hard sciences tend to be very good developer candidates, for example.

Good luck!
HN isn't the place for these kinds of comments.
I’ve found that my projects split in two ways: (a) fun hobby vs. problem to solve and (b) don’t monetize vs. monetize. Out of the 4 possible combinations there, I only take on (1) fun hobby projects that I don’t intend to monetize and (2) problem to solve that I intend to monetize.

I try to avoid the other two because fun hobby projects that I want to monetize are essentially solutions looking for a problem and problems to solve but not monetize aren’t as enjoyable as the (1) or (2).

So to answer your question: look at my hobbies to identify fun stuff that will enrich my experience or identify a problem then validate the need beyond myself.

Government regulation often comes about as a result of failure to self-regulate. Facebook doesn't care about torches and pitchforks, but your Congressional representative does. Now, were FB (or tech companies in general) smart, they'd self-regulate before the citizenry starts digging in the garden shed for implements.

But tech companies, and especially FB lately, aren't smart. And, like the three year olds their maturity reflects, they bitch and moan when the hammer comes down. Well hey, Ayn, I've got an idea: stick a finger to the wind and sort your shit before the Big, Bad Government(tm) comes a-knockin'. Because when they come, shit's going to change and probably not in a way you like. Might as well get out in front of that narrative.
The trend has always been in the other direction. It's easy to reason from first principles when the principles are simple. As more people become experts on our problems, the correct solutions become much more diverse and specialized, and it becomes harder and harder to build integrated systems from first principles.

As others have said, all Apple did was revoke a certificate that was used to intentionally circumvent the AppStore. The fact that Facebook had a slew of internal apps that depended on that cert shows their stupidity, arrogance, or both. It's not Apple's responsibility to figure out how badly it will hurt if they revoke a cert that was used to violate their terms.

> “Indonesian investigators have said the Lion Air Boeing 737 jet that plunged into the sea, killing 189 people in October, was not airworthy on a flight the day before it crashed.

And was repaired between the two flights as I quoted above. Are you selectively ignoring the information in the very post you replied to?

Here's that information again to refresh your memory:

> The chief executive officer of Lion Air, Edward Sirait, said the aircraft had a "technical issue" on Sunday night, but this had been addressed in accordance with maintenance manuals issued by the manufacturer. Engineers had declared that the aircraft was ready for takeoff on the morning of the accident

You and the other poster seem to be basing your whole position on time not moving forward in a linear fashion: Failure, repair, flight. In that order.

Pointing out the previous day over and over while ignoring what occurred in the interim isn't a real argument.

Your point on insecurity is spot on. Your concerns are my concerns as well. Compensation is just (the most quantifiable) part of the insecurity formula that plays a greater part in my case.

Funny you mentioned hep; I happen on work on hep-th. Do I love the subject? Absolutely. Is compensation the most important thing? Absolutely not. However, I've learned over the years that appreciating other people's successful work and actually trying to build on top of that are pretty different, and the handful of successful theories I love are really built upon the (life-long) failure of thousands and thousands of nobodies, and I'm very likely to be a nobody, given that I'm not thrown of the train of nobodies in the first place. It's just natural to think that if I'm going to be a nobody, I might as well be compensated well for that (and not making my head explode all the time), like that guy. The thought really puts a dent on the "love", and I'm personally (maybe just me) much more prone to exchanging pure passion for something more tangible.

> higher salaries (and less freedom) of industry.

Depending on the definition of freedom, when you have a "jobby" job it's at least easy to separate work and life, whereas in academia, at least in the theoretical branches, it seems much harder to draw boundaries. (I'm not saying people in the industry don't work hard.)

By the way, glad you're happy with your decision.

We have pretty good relations with India, yes, but then why haven't western countries been building factories there for the last couple decades? I think it's because, despite the good relations and India's democratic government (as opposed to China's authoritarian one), India has severe internal problems that make it unattractive as a location for factories. India has long had an extremely bad problem with corruption, namely. You can't get anything done there without a bribe.

If that's the case, shouldn't HTTP/2 have solved that issue? HTTP/2 is multiplexed, so if you make something like 10 HTTP calls, only a single TCP connection would be established. Additionally, according to section 9.1 of the HTTP/2 spec[0], connections are persistent so unless the server closed the connection, an already established connection will be available from when you first loaded the page.

That's correct. Which means you're saying the same thing as me, which is that the Laffer curve is incorrect, because it actually is. It's hard to misunderstand a graph relating two numbers.

The curve posits a relationship between two variables. But there's data on this, and the curve doesn't hold, we've never seen the backside of the curve where lowering rates has increased revenue. And God knows people have tried, there are many who would love to find empirical evidence of this. They haven't.

Agreeing that "past a certain point, increasing taxation is futile" doesn't validate that curve. That point could well be a 99.2% marginal rate for all we know. We haven't seen it.
I definitely don't contest the amount of tracking these companies do. I wouldn't even be surprised if it goes beyond what I can even imagine. But when it comes to control can we at least attempt to quantify it or at least make it a bit more exact. For example I'm positive these companies have influence over what brand of headphones I buy next, but I'm even more positive, at least on a personal level, that these companies have zero influence when it comes to convincing me to take money out of my IRA and using it to buy something I can't afford. Frankly what I'm getting at is I buy into the argument that these companies can influence smaller behaviors, like restaurant A or B but I'm really dubious of their influence reaching to more important decisions like to get a divorce or not maxing out my 401k and/or IRA. So I find myself not really caring about their influence because I don't think it pertains to the big decisions that I really care about.
Sometimes you'd like to have reverse thrust in-flight if you want to descend really, really quickly. Airliners don't have that feature anymore, but the C-17 and C-5 do.

Actually, maybe some ex-Soviet airliners can still do it. DC-8s being used by cargo airlines could possibly still technically do it, but don't use the ability.

First of all, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy in inmate/confinee calls. The system they use plays a message to that effect at the beginning of the call. Jail/prison/brig phone calls are routinely recorded, and prosecutors listen to those phone calls. That's why defense attorneys will come see you in person. It's also why every once in a while you'll get an admission or other indications of guilt from someone who doesn't listen to those warnings.

http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/03/26/jailhouse.calls.recordin...

Second, an anecdote. The system they use in my jurisdiction uses phone cards. We once had a group of confinees switch phone cards to make it difficult to trace who was speaking (and at the very least introduce reasonable doubt). I listened to dozens of hours of audio in one case, just hoping for the caller to identify himself (since the advent of caller ID, it seems a lot of people just say "Hey"). Voice printing would have been very helpful here.

Giving users the option of allowing calls from numbers you authorize (ex: Dentist/Doctors office, school,etc) and whatever you have in your personal contacts and then blocking the rest would solve this issue. I do not want to hear from anyone who I don't do business with or know.

A bonus would be to just call forward all other calls to your Telcos customer service lines or the FCC. I'm sure they would take the problem more seriously.

According to https://blog.adstage.io/google-display-ads-cpm-cpc-ctr-bench..., advertisers spend around $2.80 for a thousand impressions in display advertising. You're proposing a tax that is 3.5 times as much as the thing itself costs. That would have pretty steep ramifications on the industry.

Also, when one thinks about high-value advertising, it doesn't always correlate with high-value to society, but rather things that are expensive. That of course would incentivize advertisers to make sure their ad spends are effective which would in turn create more incentive for more ad tracking.

I've been sent those packets offering to become a Nielsen family, and looked through the included description of how it works.

1) Nielsen does explicitly target children, insofar as Nielsen families are supposed to give them data on the usage habits of every member of the family, including the kids. That said, the decision of whether or not to become a Nielsen family remains firmly in the hands of the heads of the family. Perhaps regardless of the consent of its younger members.

2) They do also now track participating families' Internet usage at large, like Facebook's app was doing. I don't know whether it relied on a VPN or some other technology.

3) I think that most people could understand the TV consumption tracking that used to be Nielsen's bread and butter. But, at least based on the recruitment materials that were sent to me, I didn't have a clear understanding of the extent or nature of Internet usage data collection. I assume the story would be similar for most other users, especially minors.

Based on that, I think that a lot of these comparisons are comparing what Facebook is doing now to what Nielsen was doing 20 or 30 years ago. Which is fair comparison to explore, but let's be careful not to absolve the Nielsen of today from any scrutiny in the process.
I love the thought of someone at Apple holding a meeting on this and saying "well, fuck them" while sending out the kill command on the CLI :)
Stealing is bad, but limited in scope. A number of people lost some money.

The data collection gives power to those who hold the data. Having all data on someone gives absolute power. It can be both looking at intimate data to directly manipulate or dominate a person, or apply data science to an incredible detailed corpus of data, and in the future learn things about individuals and groups that we can't even fathom.
