Based only on what I read in this article, I can kind of see Boeing's point? From what I understand, the procedure/checklist for an uncommanded nose down didn't change from the old to the new version, even with the addition of MCAS. So from the Pilot's perspective, there is nothing that they should do differently in the new vs. the older 737s when this happens-- follow the checklist, which will (eventually) cause you to flip the Stabilizer Trim Cutout Switches, and that will fix the problem.

So the interface didn't change, and the procedure's the same. Should Boeing and airlines update training every time they change something "under the hood", even when the procedure for pilots is the same? How about when they make software updates to already-flying models?

Facebook is right to point out here that scraping data from their users' logged-in pages puts their privacy at risk and makes Facebook liable for it, even if there is consent (as happened in the cambridge analytica thing). There is clearly a conflict with EU's own laws here.

Also, don't forget that EU elections are nothing like federal elections, these are local elections which reflect each country's national politics rather than anything EU-wide. And, based on previous elections, i have found individual candidates themselves to be major violators of anti-spam laws.
Isn't the whole point of semver that it's not complex or nuanced? A version is either backward-compatible or it's not.

The fool's errand would be expecting semver to encode all information about a version. That's not its purpose. Its purpose is to convey to users of a version some basic information about how it relates to previous versions from a user's perspective.

For more complex or nuanced information, the semver triad is not the place to look. Use git history, readme, changelog, release notes, etc.

It is tiresome to see people dismiss semver as bad because they misunderstand its purpose. "Semver is bad because it isn't what I think it should be" (then publish your own scheme), or "Semver is bad because it doesn't encode everything" (only the source itself could do that), or "Semver is bad because it would require some arbitrary numbers to increment faster than I am comfortable with" (i.e. "eww, semver has cooties").
Is this the Yi you speak of?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_language

It appears to be a Tai Chinese creole or mixed language (like a creole but without the massive simplification in grammar).

Yi(Loloish) is definitely a different language family though that wouldn’t stop people writing in Mandarin if they really wanted to. Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese were all written as if they were Classical Chinese to greater or lesser extents until relatively recently.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loloish_languages

I’ve heard Sichuanese described as Mandarin without tones. All of Sìchuān speaks different forms of Mandarin for the same reason Manchurians do, recent massive resettlement, though not as recent as in 东北.

There is one more technical surprise in this article for me. Pulling hard back on the control collumn would override the stabilizer runaway in old versions, but not MCAS. That is a major interface difference between the old and new planes.

It sounds like the old flight manual stated one of two possible methods for dealing with runaway stabilizers. Because the second method (hard back on the control) wasn't in the manual, changes to that way weren't taken into account. Hence a non backwards compatible change slipped through.

One interface change was the effect of 'pulling hard back on the stick' in case of runaway stabilizers. That worked with the old system, but not with MCAS.

This seems to be exactly the interface change that lead to the crash.
I'm sure it could, but of course you can always anonymise data first. In any case it seems a bit rich for facebook to restrict access due to privacy concerns, in reality the issues is likely that reason is simply that academics can't pay as well as ad agencies.

> but for some orgs, it would be unneeded overkill, and not protecting anything notable.

I can honenstly not think of a single venture where "support@" is not one of the most critical resources wrt privacy and security. On top of that, "support@" is typically the account that has a high churn rate. Where people move on and new people are hired. Of all the cases, I'd say that "support@" ranks amongst the top for need of proper account management.

That said, it's dead simple to grant jane@ and john@ access to an inbox in Google. Researching how to do this may take 30+ minutes. But getting it configured afterwards is really a two minute job.

The only reason I've came across why people shared Google accounts was "we have a business domain and we need to pay for every extra seat". Which is a valid excuse. I'd argue that its not a good enough excuse to lower your security for, but valid nontheless. For one, 2fa is almost impossible when sharing accounts.

Which is why having a "pay per seat" model for any SAAS is perpendicular to having proper security practices. You are not rewarding good security, but rather punishing it by letting organisations with proper separation of accounts pay more then the ones that choose to have as few as possible.
We desperately need a "3rd Way" in the smartphone space.

I kind of think Google was actually always evil and we just didn't recognize it. I think their early funding was CIA and it's never been any different in reality. Facebook, too. Probably LinkedIn, also. It's sad, really. The 21st century could be a golden age of personal freedom, privacy, and productive civilization, but we seem doomed to sink in the swamp of collectivism instead.
Anyone know a marketplace for ppl to sell SARs to reseachers - with filters like: public funding, open results, xyz de-personalisation standards or auditors?

Public comment section for discussion of implications of studies and releasing data sets.. lots of interesting possibilities in this space of taking ownership of your data but also sharing it.
Yes, there are substantial privacy implications from social media research. And they're particularly problematic on a platform where privacy controls restrict access to certain data/conversations to particular friends (and Facebook employees, of course).

Not everything is like this, though. For example, there's been next to no public data about how the news feed algorithm works and no way of tracking how ads are being targeted. Both of these are commercially sensitive (and it's clearly in Facebook's interest to keep its cards to its chest) but a royal pain compared with, say, newspaper research where you can see what is being served to whom along with which adverts on a day-by-day basis.

And there's essentially no public API even to get those things to which you do potentially have access - so there's no way of getting the membership of public groups without web scraping or recording by hand, AFAIK. And certainly the first of these is prohibited by TOS, which means many university ethics committees will reject the research even if the researcher does have the capability to get it.

It's basically a large black box. And, as a political scientist, black boxes with political salience concern me.
If "the language explicitly says" something, then it's part of the specification and not an implementation detail.
This can surely work depending on organization. The problem is when the sales people need an estimate in two days or they don't get the contract. Then it is just a wild ass guess and the normal problems ensue.

The reason that software is so hard to do in most cases is that you are making something that (by definition) has never been done before. Of course stuff is going to go bad. This is largely a corporate culture problem. In these cases, I want to have the sales people come to a weekly meeting and have them estimate when they will have 100K sales for the month from new business. I don't think they would like that very much and you'd get a lot of dithering.

> I also seem to have an annoying bug in mobile where after a while long tap on link no longer opens the contextual menu.

I encountered a bug matching this description on my S7. So far I discovered that it's correlated to the number of tabs open; around 70 tabs, the context menu appears after perceptible delay, which increases with the number of open tabs. I think I reached something around 90 tabs before I couldn't long-tap on links any more. Closing tabs makes the problem go away.

Fair enough, but I don't recall ever seeing that on a bottle of olive oil.
I'm not sure there's much to discuss. The API didn't provide any way to add an item to the blocked list. That's clearly deliberate, and has nothing to do with the stated goal of improving performance.

I can only gather that the actual goal is very different from the stated goal.
Premium olive oil can cost around $24/lt in the US, but most people pay more like $8 per liter for something you probably wouldn't identify as olive oil. It would appear that the US is largely considered a dumping ground of olive oil that is subpar in Italy or Spain, and is frequently sold mislabeled as a higher quality olive oil than it is (or very old, or not even olive oil).[0],[1]

I can't find a source right now, but I read at some point that Italy doesn't actually export their top grades of olive oil, as producers have trouble even meeting local demand.

If that is the official address, it should be on the map, so you should have to investigate exactly one cottage. It's not like street numbers are always simple and sequential either. I have streets that become other streets in the middle. I have streets that end in a T-intersection, then continue from another T-intersection half a km away. Addressing globally has never been anything close to e.g. Manhattan's grid system. As long as that town's official addressing system works the way the locals say it does, deliveries should arrive as normal with no hassle. And that town isn't even unique within the EU, there are plenty of towns on my side of the continent that just number their buildings and don't assign them street addresses.
In the UK a PO Box is also an address, which you can use in different ways

Mail addressed to the PO Box -> You collect from post office

Mail addressed to the PO Box -> They deliver to street address (which only they know)

Mail addressed to street address -> You collect from post office

The most annoying thing I found was that they would only let you have a PO Box in a town if you had a street address there, which I did not.

The city I live uses a sum of two numbers given by the house position in the two directions (one on the hundreds, other on the unities) into a coarse grid.

There are plenty of cities that have numbered streets, in order.

Some cities have named "mega-blocks" as a third grouping element beyond the street/number and finer grained than the usual neighborhood name, so you have to memorize less stuff.

In short, there are plenty of schemes that give way better result. If you have to look up on a street-name database to find an address, there is little to gain compared with a house-number database.
What's the reasoning behind everyone needing that level of access?

We use 1password and have multiple vaults depending on what sort of clearance is needed. Need access to support emails? We'll add you to the appropriate vault.

> Fuel taxes are just another version of taxing the wrong thing.

It's not really the wrong thing, it's a different thing. Fuel taxes make a lot of sense as carbon taxes to pay for the pollution you're causing.

Ultimately, though, it's complicated to tax everybody exactly for the societal costs they're causing. Taxing just the weight of the car doesn't take usage into account. Taxing fuel doesn't sufficiently take weight into account. To tax people correctly for road use you'd have to keep detailed track of how much they use their car, and that may get rather invasive into people's privacy.

That said, it's pretty clear that cars cause more externalities than they're being taxed for.

That's fair, but what does the checklist say? I mean, say there are a thousand different malfunctions that could cause an uncommanded nose-down. This one happens to be #359, but the pilots don't know that, they just know that they're pointed at the ground. Maybe it used to be the case that the first item on the checklist (pull back on the stick) fixed problem #359, and now it's the second. But there are several hundred other malfunctions that might have caused the problem that also aren't solved by pulling back on the stick, so the next move is to go to the next item on the checklist, right?
How is it a straw man?

"to explicitly hurt your company". I'm not sure the word explicitly actually changes the meaning here. I could campaign to introduce a carbon tax. I'm not doing it to explicitly hurt my oil company employer. Even if I know it probably will at some level.

There's degrees of 'explicitness'. What about campaigning against fossil fuels if you work for an oil company? What about a car company? Theres a line, and I'm willing to bet it will differ from employee to employer.

To use a car analogy ...

You can always override cruise control by stomping hard on the brake (like to avoid an imminent crash). That's how it's always worked and you've gotten used to this, and done it on occasion when warranted.

Now imagine that the next generation of adaptive cruise-control/"auto-pilot"/whatever comes out, and stomping on the brakes no longer does anything. You have to first disable the cruise control by pressing a button on the steering wheel, and only then will inputs to the brake pedal do anything.

And then you don't tell drivers about this change.

You can totally see how, right in the lead-up to a fatal accident, a driver is going to be focused solely on stomping on that brake pedal in increasing panic, wondering right up to the moment of death why that's not doing anything. They won't consider the cruise control off button because it's not their most immediate need (braking is), and they've never needed to use it before.
