Thank you for writing all that out. It gives an insight that's never made it to the UK media, despite them explaining it wasn't just about fuel, and giving hints of the deeper issues.

It's surprisingly good match with the things we in the UK are pissed at with regard to politics, politicians, neoliberalism, fairness etc. Even partially explained Brexit (people in the regions that didn't benefit from London's constant rise felt betrayed, neglected and their opinion didn't matter). I'm disappointed we don't protest as well as our neighbours. ;)

But once you do it do you have a moral or legal claim on anything anymore? If the same neighbor beats you silly for ruining his party can you then go to the Police or court and ask them for help and justice? Can you say "but he was doing the same or worse"? Can you claim innocence because you unilaterally decided that you are in charge of settling the matter? How exactly do you decide what is the appropriate response?

These are honest questions, I'm genuinely curious how people here see it. Even if I can assume internet opinions are very different from real life ones.

You are always free to take any action you deem appropriate but you will also have to take the consequences. So you can block your employer's warehouse in protest for something but then why be surprised when the time comes to pay for it?
You're right! SF needs to address housing, treatment, and health care! SF doesn't need another iOS app shat out by some smug prick with no clue.

One of SF's problems is that it's been impossible for the city to meet needs and coordinate care over a sizable population when it can't figure out who needs what and where reliably. The idea here is basically a medical record system so that SF can deliver all the items you so wisely and correctly point to! When you know someone's history, what has and hasn't worked for them, you can figure out how to compassionately delivery to them the treatment, housing, and care they need.

Not only are you right about what's needed, San Francisco is right there with you.
> you need to have some idea as to the order the packages will be delivered in

No you don't. That's what route planning software is for. Trying to do it in your head is a waste of your time when a computer can do it faster and more reliably.
Why would you do a multi-route API inside a Lambda? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the Lambda itself?
It's just "what we do" here in the USA. Sad but true.

He's a heterosexual male with an interest in the "prepper" movement. The article says they were aware of his location before the arrest. It seems like it would have been more fruitful to use an undercover female asset who feigned interest in his interests. Then along with the arrest, you have a chance of more intel as he shares it with her.
I think the pendulum is slowly but surely on it's way back towards decentralization. More and more people are getting increasingly concerned about the explotative behavior and control these mega corps have. An enormous amount of progress still needs to be made in terms of viable alternatives, increased awareness by the general masses, and easier accesability for adoption.
Based on the article title ("Why no one really quits Google or Facebook"), your experience doesn't align with the scenario the article is talking about; it's scoped to people who already adopted these service ecosystems.
Some benefits: for the user - the data stays private as all processing is done on device.
You can get much faster inference times and create applications with real-time interactions. The applications can work offline once the models are downloaded. The browser comes with tons of sensors (microphone/camera/accelerometer/etc) and the data from these sensors can be fed into the models in real time without needing to do a round trip to a server.
Yes if the model is proprietary it maybe wouldn’t make sense to have the user download the weights as it could be reverse engineered, but for open source models
it’s not an issue. And anyways the value these days is in the dataset and training of the models.

Yeah that's more of a representative example of the culture of public companies (accountants and finance running the show) rather than engineer-CEOs being some panacea solution.

Individuals and leaders within the company help but they're all playing the same game in a culture which values the organization for the organizations sake combined with a system that forces companies to be laser focused on a single metric... when companies in a typical marketplace are a collection of metrics/incentives.

Years ago, I thought a single-tier design of an (offline) compiler was best (OVM). And then I thought a heavy offline compiler and two tiers of of the same JIT was best (Jikes). Then I thought an interpreter with an an optimizing JIT was best (HotSpot server). Then I thought a slightly less optimizing JIT was best (HotSpot client). Then I thought that two JITs were best (V8 w/ Crankshaft). Then two JITs with a super heavy optimizing JIT was best (V8 w/ TurboFan). Then I thought a single tier for Wasm was best (V8 w/ TurboFan). Then I thought an interpreter and a heavy optimizing JIT was best (V8 w/ Ignition and TurboFan). Then I thought two JITs for Wasm was best (V8 w/ Liftoff and TurboFan).

I've seen a single baseline compiler go through a metamorphosis from essentially streaming (HotSpot client V1) to full SSA-based with register allocation (HotSpot client today).

In other words, prepare for change. A single tier is probably not going to be your final design.
From the article:

"Older 737s had another way of addressing certain problems with the stabilizers: Pulling back on the yoke, or control column, one of which sits immediately in front of both the captain and the first officer, would cut off electronic control of the stabilizers, allowing the pilots to control them manually.

That feature was disabled on the Max when M.C.A.S. was activated — another change that pilots were unlikely to have been aware of. After the crash, Boeing told airlines that when M.C.A.S. is activated, as it appeared to have been on the Lion Air flight, pulling back on the control column will not stop so-called stabilizer runaway."

If the above is true, it's near criminal that Boeing didn't notify pilots about the change. It's also not just about following checklists but understanding the systems of the aircraft.
great idea - transcribed in reply to parent
Having to copy a binary is a downgrade. NPM is an xplat distribution platform.

The majority of projects that would use this already use NPM to version their other tools/linters/formatters like eslint and prettier. So now this one tool doesn't integrate with their tooling. For very little upside beyond appeasing a few people on HN.

When you build something, you have to think about more than just your idea of absolute technical superiority. Distribution and toolchain integration and an understanding of your end-users are just as important. Also, would they have the same plugin ecosystem if they hadn't used NPM nor Javascript? https://stylelint.io/user-guide/plugins/
After playing SOMA, I recall it every time I see moderately glitched images. Using digital "distortion" as part of the visual aesthetic was absolutely brilliant. I feel like it started a trend, although maybe multiple developers strated using the same tricks independently roughly at the same time.

Somehow these PNG glitches feel "natural", just like analog radio noise, unlike the usual artifacts of heavy JPG, MP3 or video compression. Why are some degradations much less annoying than others? When I need to upscale an low-rez image I usually blur it using anisotropic smoothing, then add random noise. It actually looks sharper than the plain Laczoz/Bicubic upscale.

Maybe we need to design new audio/video formats that degrade more "artistically" when there is data loss or insufficient bandwidth. This is less relevant now than it used to be in ~2005. Still, would be an interesting experiment. Is there an encoding that would naturally produce smoothed visuals without sufficient data?

If I have some energy tonight, I will experiment with taking an image array, "deleting" random pixels and filling them with blended neighbors.
I'm not defending the practice, but it's disingenuous to suggest that it solves nothing. Ostensibly it's a means by which the city can determine which programs are most effective at getting the homeless population off the streets which I think is a laudable goal.

As illustrated by the article, there's no shortage of money, but that money doesn't seem to be effective in addressing an issue that residents of the city are very concerned about.
Why was a method that wasn't in the official checklist "relied upon"? Pilots following some undocumented, non-standard procedure sounds like their fault rather than Boeing's.

Yes, I’m well aware of that.

But web developers don’t build their own tools. They don’t build their own text editors. They don’t write their own operating systems or web browsers. They don’t need to write their own linters.

Sure, they might enjoy writing their configuration of those tools in JavaScript (grunt, gulp, webpack, etc), but that’s not the same as writing your own tool.

If the analogy isn’t already obvious, I’m saying that while a non-trivial UI project’s development pipeline may include a build tool, e.g., Make, you don’t have to implement Make before you can use Make.

This isn’t a dig at web developers either (like I said, I am one). I write shell scripts, and I lint them with Shellcheck. I don’t need to know the language that Shellcheck is implemented in to use or configure it. It could be implemented in Rust, C, Prolog, or even Brainfuck for all I care.

I’m guessing the people that downvoted my previous comment misunderstood my point.

In the US(Army) we all have to do a gas exercise. We go into a chamber with our gas masks on and watch the agent being activated and released. Then we remove our masks, recite our name, rank, and serial number, then put them back on. It doesn't last long, but no one in my platoon "barely noticed". It was pretty debilitating - vomiting, coughing, snot smeared all over your face...etc.

That said, there are a lot of different gas varieties, and I've only been exposed to that one.

istio can/will inject a network proxy container into your pods. The proxy intercepts traffic to and from the pod. It also ships with a set of telemetry and metrics services that the proxies send data to. Coupled with that, it has a whole suite of custom resource definitions for fine grained configuration.

I'd highly recommend reading the docs if you haven't already to get a better overview.

I think you're mistaking UX with UI design.

UX people tend to advocate for simple, boring stuff because they test. Like you pointed out, UX professionals like Krug, Nielsen, Norman constantly advocate for boring navigation:

"Users spend most of their time on other sites. This means that users prefer your site to work the same way as all the other sites they already know."

- Jakob's Law of Internet User Experience

However, someone simply designing UI will often suggest new and complicated designs, because they don't test. If they don't test, they are not practicing UX. Even if their job title is UX designer, they are just doing UI design.

Disclaimer: Yes I am defending my UX job, which involves testing and face time with users :)

> Take it up with the FAA and the airlines?

Sure. It's not just Boeings fault. I believe the FAA will course correct from this and probably all changes to flight controls will need to be reported to pilots. More lessons written in blood.
Indeed, and for good spilling decisions, you'll want to have next-use distance information for values. While a stack machine gives you an approximation of this (deeper in the stack is farther in the future), for best results I imagine you'll want to do two passes anyway, so locals are no worse for this, other than at block boundaries, if you lack liveness you have to spill them.
Osm has the lead in the majority of places. I used a random number generator to generate coordinates (latitude between the southernmost and northernmost point of land, I forgot the numbers, and -180 to +180 degrees longitude). Any point that was not water, I'd zoom in to about street level by default and zoom out until I saw a reasonable amount of features on at least one of the maps. The maps I compared were Google, OpenStreetMap, Bing, and TomTom. I wanted to also compare Apple but their maps are only for customers it seems. To determine the best map, I considered mainly which had more features (a more complete map), but between near-ties I also looked at satellite imagery to determine which one was more accurate.

OpenStreetMap beats everything else.

I still want to write this up in a blog post with visual examples, and I'd like to redo the test (for comparison) with random coordinates biased by population centres (does anyone know how to generate those?). I'm curious if that paints a different picture. But purely geographically, this de facto standard isn't so great if you look beyond the western world.

This is largely a solved problem. Have your mail held (admittedly you can only do this for up to 30 days in the US). And just don't order anything else that will potentially arrive while you're away.
>if you just use tear gas or something...

The FBI tried that once upon a time in Texas. Most formulations of tear "gas" are actually a powder that happens to be flammable powder. It makes nasty poisonous things when it burns (burning already poisonous things has a tendency of doing that). It didn't go well.[1] It's generally not prudent to use tear gas if you're not ok with substantially increasing the likelihood of many people in the target area dying. What's acceptable when you're trying to gas some enemy combatants out of a tunnel in a war zone is not necessarily acceptable for a civilian law enforcement agency to do domestically.

>They are, with no punishment to bad actors, i.e. there's no 3 strike for absolutely false copyright claims

This would, in fact, cause them to lose their safe harbor under DMCA. There is no provision to simply ignore claims.

>stealing money from content creators and violating the copyrights of content creators.

Who's copyright is being violated? What money is being stolen?

>they should lose their safe harbor for facilitating copyright infringement due to their 3 strikes system that has no way to circumvent the false claims.

I strongly recommend that you actually read the DMCA.

The safe harbor is given to the service provider for accepting DMCA notices, and protects them from suits from the complainant. There's a separate safe harbor against claims from the uploader, and they get that by accepting counter-notices. But there's no obligation to accept counternotices, since they can delete videos at any time per their terms. So there's no relevant safe harbor they would lose here.

You've provided no source for the claim that they often reject valid counternotices. I don't believe this is the case.
Kubernetes already gives you basic service discovery network policy and a network abstraction layer, but Istio is more about abstracting and enriching communication patterns on (sometimes) Layer 4 and (more often) Layer 7.

It allows you to use kubernetes manifest to centrally control policies such as:
- Canary load balancing (pushing a certain percentage of the traffic to a canary release)
- TLS Mutual Authentication
- Retries with exponential backoff
- Circuit breakers
- Instrumenting your traffic for distributed tracing (e.g. with Jaeger)
- Adding your own custom HTTP headers

All of that is transparent to your microservice. This comes instead of having to repeat the service mesh logic that does everything above in each microservice. From the microservice 's perspective they're just sending simple traffic without implementing retries, circuit breakers, HTTPS or instrumentation. Istio takes care of all the rest using sidecars and and ingress controllers.
