Here's a video of the wheels in motion: https://vimeo.com/34501723

Disregard the text on the video description as it's blatantly wrong (describing that the trim tabs still move without the wheels moving; wrong on two accounts: the trim doesn't move without the wheels moving and the 737 uses a jackscrew for horizontal stabilizer trim rather than trim tabs [which is why the pilot can't simply override the aerodynamic force as they could with a trim tab])

Jackscrew operation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxPa9A-k2xY

The 7-3 has balance tabs to make the control forces lighter in the event of a hydraulics failure, but these are not trim tabs in any sense of the word.
OpenMRS – Insecure Object Deserialization
It looks like the routing and server could well be rolled up into one FaaS on AWS Lambda. Apex Up does something similar for multiple languages and handles the API gateway config as well as custom URL SSL certs etc.

I used Apex Up for a while and it was fairly amazing for deployment. I stopped using it because the nature of my work changed.
Can you name some successful interoperable protocols used by social networks that allow for meaningful innovation and updates? All I can think of is Agora* (which no one uses) and IRC (which hasn't added nontrivial features in a very, very long time).

I was just watching an interview between Scott Galloway and Richard Kramer discussing if the big 4 will be broken up. An insight I hadn't heard before was that anti-trust in the US is based on consumer harm, and since consumers get services from these companies for free, by this measure there can't be consumer harm. However, if you consider the advertisers (who are actually funding everything) are the consumers, they are being significantly harmed by the lack of competition. An advertiser has essentially no choice, if they wish to reach consumers online they have to deal with the big 4 on their terms.

After 30 years the market is finally prime for a managed IRC service.
The privacy statement of Slack is horrible. I also wonder why so many companies trust often highly sensitive conversations to what is essentially an IRC forum that could be taken over by an evil company any minute.
One could argue that the level of data this network effect allows businesses to collect allows them to create a trust around advertising, which is in some sense true.
No. Atlassian sold HipChat to Slack so that Slack could kill it. Atlassian did not invest in Slack
China has twice the rate of fatalities per vehicle of Argentina, which has twice that of the USA, which is four times worth than Switzerland. It means the cars sold in Switzerland are much better than in America and everywhere else?

Modern American and European cars may have a positive impact on the fatality rate, but the numbers above don't prove it in any way. I suspect the local culture of driving and the legal policy explain most of the differences between these rates.

BTW, when walking or riding a bicycle, I'd rather get hit by a 20 year old average car than a modern SUV.

> The main reason no practical alternatives to Facebook exist is the network effect.

You could just split Google in half into Goo and Gle and force them to publish protocols their services use so they can share the network. This could also allow smaller players to join the network.

At the beginning you could bounce people going to google.com at random to goo.com or gle.com until they start prefering one or the other for whatever reason and go there directly.

And who knows ... maybe at some point Gle could attract more users by being more precise and less intrusive with their ads.

Until there is one Google, there is one strategy that can be tried at one time. This harms progress.

Why not take that to its logical conclusion and claim: if he truly never wanted them to be read, he would never have written them in the first place?

To me it seems credible that a writer might want to hold on to some drafts, hoping to get round to editing them for publication, but doesn't want them edited by anyone else or published unedited. The question is, how to achieve that, seeing as one can't trust one's heirs? There are probably both legal and technical solutions.
There exists at least one website or user that is available only as a hidden service on that network which has better information than sites on clearnet

Your search techniques aren't useful. All the information is bought from vendors, and they likely will only send you a file over a peer-2-peer encrypted chat, or in a message with their pgp encryption.

You can keep consumer welfare as the highest goal, as long as you consider that long-term consumer welfare includes a robustly competing marketplace with low barriers to entry, and nearly always requires periodice regulation in the long-term public interest.
Re: You may have steel skin, but for most people, that feels like an attack. The person you’re questioning can perceive in your body language and tone of voice...Communication is hard...

You are right, communicating is indeed hard. Achieving clarity, brevity, and social "friendliness" at the same time is a multi-skill that most people get wrong: they tend to do one or two well, but rarely all three.

I will readily agree I often get the "social math" wrong, being it body language, tone of voice, etc. Maybe thousands of hours of training with a personal coach could "fix it", but that would cost around $100,000. For one, I find it hard to process the social math rules in my mind and focus on the topic at hand at the same time. My brain is not powerful enough to run both tasks simultaneously. The social side would have to be turned into a reflex so as to not interfere with the logical side's processing, and that typically takes lots of repetition training.

Dammit Jim, I'm a logical geek, not an actor!
Anything written by federal contractors, and anything written with state funds are not in the public domain. National labs flat out refuse to release some of their source code.
Yes, I should have mentioned that wOLED is the way around the yield issue, but you don’t gain much. That is why srgb is what Samsung uses for small displays and which look much better than srgb (because woled is essentially lcd, just replacing white with a giant white pixel with the rest of the LCD stack the same, which can handle defects because you can hide where it is dark with the layers above)
Some also come with a range extender, very useful for long distances.
That's a lot more involved and domain-specific than the question of whether or not government-owned code should be open source.

The person you're responding to is just making the positive observation that, since electronic voting software is licensed - not produced - by the government, you can't mandate it be open sourced via e.g. a FOIA request.

You are making a normative declaration that it should be open sourced because it's important and intrinsically untrusted software, and as a consequence it either will be or electronic voting won't be possible. These are separate things. You're talking about what ought to be, the other commenter is talking about what (currently) is.
The state already has extremely heavy involvement in management of the telephone system. There is plenty of precedent for this being generally benevolent authority.

You could have said the same about AT&T. When they broke it up, they split it into distinct entities. There is no reason we couldn't split it back up into Instagram, WhatsApp, and its other various apps. It also has tons of individual functions and features that are only bundled together because of path dependence. The Marketplace, the news feed, the home page, and the discussion forums/groups are all potentially distinct companies. You could still even have one company in charge of managing identity and authentication and make everything interoperable between the distinct branches.

Setting things up that way would make it look more like a federated platform and would take no small amount of work, both from the private companies and the government (to establish standards). But as things are now nobody has an incentive to design an internet that works like that.
The difference is that you can't really manipulate the power grid to favor a political party. You can do that with Google or Facebook.
It's cool, but does the extra speed matter? My eyeballs cannot differentiate 0.5ms vs 5 ms. That said, I'm pretty happy with fasd.

It’s worth learning the basic use of some constraint solver, since they are now so fast and powerful.

I wanted to switch back to Firefox, but it seems to consume every resource on my machine. I’m currently using Safari and miss FF of old (I used FF exclusively from 2005-2013; switched to Chrome; and just can’t seem to like FF again).
Right?! How that's used as any kind of justification seems insane to me. Oh, don't worry! It's surplus military equipment... ?! That alone is startling. It's infinitely worse when you consider that this military equipment will then be used to raid alleged drug dealers/users--AKA killing puppies, flashbanging babies, and stealing private property with no practical legal recourse. Even if it were ONLY ever used for 100% guilty drug users and dealers, it's in the name of a failed drug war.
The issue is that you can always show more options on desktop. On mobile, you naturally have to choose fewer menu items to display. Where do you put the rest?

The worst is when the mobile version doesn't have those additional menu items at all, anywhere, and certain things are simply impossible to do on mobile.

Tossing the lower priority items onto an additional page (hamburger menu) when screen space is limited is often the fair and simple trade-off.

"Don't use hamburger menus" is often coupled with the hand-wavy "just create novel mobile UI that doesn't need it", but the reality is that the items in hamburger menus usually don't need their own top-level button on a small screen at all. That's why they're hidden behind a click. They aren't worth the clutter, but they're still things a user may want to do.

In my experience, seeing that just about everything uses the hamburger menu, like the Kindle, it's a concession users are willing to make in order to use a small device. What exactly is the trade-off here without downsides?
You could ask the interviewer to whiteboard something for you, too.
Freeman dyson, who is one of the smartest human beings ever to live, questions evolution and climate change. On climate change, I don’t think he opposes being proactive — he just disagrees about the completeness of the evidence. He also has an unconventional opinion about nuclear war: that it’s not a very big deal.
If multiple competitors have to achieve interop to provide a similar experience that doesn't seem like a bad thing to me.
It's also particularly hard to break up attack company because of the value of their digital real estate. You can break Google up into as many companies as you want, but whichever one owns google.com has been basically unaffected.

It's unclear how you'd break them up in such a way as to meaningfully increase competition in a search market where consumers reflexively turn to Google.

No you couldn't have, you could use your telephone to call any other telephone on the planet. Even if AT&T did not own the wires.

THAT is the behavior we have to stop. Breaking up tech companies does nothing to solve that problem.

Silos need to be made illegal if you want to stop the tech companies. (And even if you make silos illegal, good luck keeping your social network from knowing what you are searching for on your search engine. That's another one of the fundamental problems not addressed by break ups. Privacy.)

"when AT&T was broken up in 1984, a torrent of new products came on the market, everything from the first answering machines to early ISPs."

Since the RBOCs were local monopolies, it wasn't the breakup which resulted in the opening of the network.

They didn't have competition until 1996, when the local loop was unbundled, allowing CLECs to appear. The tradeoff was that if they could demonstrate local competition, they were allowed to enter the long distance market.

It was FCC regulation which allowed interconnection of non-approved devices [1]. "In the 1960s and 1970s, the FCC gradually relaxed regulation of telephone terminal equipment (e.g., telephone handsets, private branch exchanges), known as customer premises equipment (CPE)."

I think it works both ways... the advertisers are harmed by lack of competition (though is it really different than only 3 TV networks), and the users are harmed by mismanaged marketing, leaking personal information and as an attack vector.
You seem to be conflating my position on the use of public funds with your position on open source in general.

"So, if YOUR government uses Linux, but doesn't participate in Linux development, it's bad for everyone else?"

I'm not sure where you are going with this. I certainly never claimed that governments should not use open source software. By all means I hope (for argument sake let's call it The US) leverages Linux where practical.

What I disagree with is the premise that The US or their contractors owe pull requests or public repos to the peoples of the world just because the US taxpayer partly or fully funded a development project. Hate on me if you must but I believe that no US funded research results be they in software or any other IP are or should be automatically owed to the peoples of the earth.

"Most Linux users aren't contributing to Linux itself. And likely less than half are making any significant contribution to Open Source Software at all. It's still useful software, and I still appreciate everyone that does work on it."

Yes, I agree with your idea that most open source users are freeloading in the sense that they contribute far less than they use. That is part of my point.
I didn't read the whole thing yet so I don't know if he covers this:

I think many of us (or at least a few loud members) in the tech community have started to see underwriting as a bad form of cronyism. The point jump on opening day becomes substantially about putting money in the pockets of a favored set of investors. Half of that comes from frothing up the public, but the other half comes out of the pockets of the pre-IPO investors and the company. That's not okay.

We know that in a hot neighborhood you want to price your house a little low to get a bidding war going. I get that something similar happens in the stock market. But that's an art of shaving 5-10% off hoping you yield an extra 5-10% over your original price point. We're seeing much, much bigger spreads than that with IPOs, which I take to mean that everyone but the underwriters and their friends are getting screwed.
I don't think it's logical to say that just because consumers don't directly pay they aren't harmed. What if increased competition would make it such that there would be a way better search engine than today's Google? It's certainly harder to prove harm than monopolistic price fixing though.
It's a good 99% solution.

In terms of geologic history the CO2 levels now are lower then they have been. It's not surprising that plants respond very positively to higher rates of CO2.

And it's been proven to be true many times.

I guess what the study is trying to address is the positive aspect of CO2 rising enough to counter the negative aspect of CO2 rising to the plant biomass.
The main reason no practical alternatives to Facebook exist is the network effect.

Doesn't it creep you out that one company has a monopoly on the social graph? When we busted up Ma Bell, we basically put into place standards for interoperation. What if we had a law mandating social graph companies open themselves up for interoperation once they reach some critical threshold of size? Basically, the idea is that once you're massive enough in social media, you don't get to hold onto your lead purely through the network effect. Staying at the top, just because you're at the top doesn't really promote the general welfare of society or motivate people to make better products.

The main reason that competitors to Google don't do well is that people will just use the search engine that returns the most relevant results (unless your internet connection is censored).

At home, I use Duck Duck Go. It gives good enough results but comes with a better reputation with regards to privacy.

This is not true, tracking is more prevalent than ever. Legislation and public backlash have forced service providers to ask before they track.

- it was provided with almost zero doc or comments

- the process of getting the code was tedious, and the law changes every year

- taxes are complicated
