>P.S.: does that thingy really cost US$ 48.50 on Amazon? For 2 liters, that is 24.25/lt. Locally (Italy) the best of the best (and possibly even better) 100% EVO can be max (retail) 14-15 Euro/lt.

A nice-ish jacket costs maybe tens of American dollars in India (I use the word "maybe" mostly to account for what other people consider "nice", a jacket I would wear costs under $20USD). Once it's imported to the US you move the decimal place to the right at least once. Importing stuff is expensive. There's a lot of overhead to pay for.
You are thinking of a different incident with their Trucks in the 2000s, not the Pinto issue from the 1970s/80s.

Failure to get accurate information before spouting off is apparently also not new.
Would you rather live under a boat on Elephant Island for an Antarctic winter or take part in the battle of the Somme? they happened at the same time.
You make it sound like owning a car in Manhattan is just a matter of choice when it is an extreme luxury and an inconvenient one at that. That's at least $1000 (probably more) on something you definitely won't use every day and definitely don't need.

My SO and I each make 6 figures each and will only own a car once we move out of Manhattan because no matter how inconvenient it is it's not fiscally responsible.
I'm a little confused -- did something happen with/to stylelint? Why is it at the top of HN right now?

This is 4-digit hex rgba notation. It's a shorthand for #rrggbbaa, literally as #rgba. In this case alpha is f = 1.0, so #ff9f = #ff9.
Definitely! I should’ve said something with the caveats. Thanks for doing so!
Are you saying that Facebook should decide which news is false or that you're just done with using social media to find news in general?
Well no one died on Elephant Island so I guess that.
There's something called the "Swiss Cheese Theory" of accidents. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_cheese_model)

In a mostly-robust system, different layers catch and defend against the errors of other layers in the system. For a major accident to occur, holes in multiple layers have to line up that day.

In this case we have four holes that lined up that day - a plane model with a possible rare software bug, an aircraft with a faulty sensor feeding bad information to the computers, an airline company with internal culture that continues to fly a specific aircraft that keeps trying to point at the ground, sometimes without even making an attempt at fixing the problem, and finally, on this fatal day, a crew that did not follow the proper procedures even after twenty-three nose down incidents during the flight.

Even without the MACS system present, the last two holes seem like they would bring down an airliner eventually, from one cause or another.

Pilots are rightfully mad about not being told about the MACS system. But it's just one of many systems on a 737 that can trim the stabilizer to point that it can't be flow. That's why the procedure for any stabilizer problem is to disable automatic control of the stabilizer. The training and checklists that the accident pilots had covered this, and previous pilots flying the accident aircraft did this and then had uneventful flights.
And it says right in the article:

> One might believe this means, for example, that it is a blend of various extra virgin oils from several regions

.. which I agree with. That would certainly be my first thought, especially after the word "premium". The phrase brings to mind an expert balancing of tastes and properties, not that it's been diluted 80% with a cheaper substitute they have carefully de-emphasized on the packaging. It's definitely misleading and I hope the book is thrown at them.
In October Mozilla released "Ad Analysis for Facebook. It shows you why you were targeted, and how your targeting might differ from other users... The extension also displays a high-level overview of the top political advertisers based on targeting by state, gender, and age. You can view ads for each of these targeting criteria — the kinds of ads you would never normally see."

I mean, you're still going to be issuing release notes.

I think it's important to realize that semver isn't about how accurately you summarize things. It's about what actions your customers will take from your version numbers.

If they're enterprise, then they'll expect to be able to apply anything short of a major version number change with an in-place software update, and they expect that they will not experience any significant or foreseeable breaking changes. It doesn't matter if you're using semver or not, this is how your enterprise customers will behave.

Part of the issue here, I think, is that you need to be roadmapping your project. If you're just churning and churning and producing features and changes all the time and you're not planning that, say, changes X and features Y go with v.Next, then, yeah, semver is going to be really hard. However, even if you're on the extreme end of agile you had to decide some set of features that made your product v1.0, didn't you? Why can't you do that again? You just have to decide how many features result in a major increment.

It does seem to lead you down the Java/Chrome versioning problem where the primary number just doesn't have meaning anymore (i.e., both Java and Chrome are technically still at v1.x, but they dropped that major version number because they realized they were never going to increment it).

Edit: I realize I'm describing semantic-ish versioning, but I'm of the firm belief that rules are meant to be flexible, rather than blindly followed. RFC 2119 is not a suicide pact, as it were.
That's a circular argument.

1. Desktop OS's have awful security

2. Therefore you're VERY careful about what you install

3. Because you're VERY careful about what you install, you don't need the extra security, it would only be an hassle.
As others have pointed out, "making something look legit when it isn't" is a good description of fraud, and films have long had disclaimers in the credits that they are fictional.
If there's a blockade and that blockade is using pallet material, I would expect the ex-employee to lose that argument.

If it's just for fuel, I agree with your point.
I was wondering the same thing. It'd be like a link to the homepage of React being the top link of HN. Stylelint has been around and popular for years now.
This is an interesting idea. I never thought about it before. My previous thinking is that if something really complex needs to be done, then I will go to that directory.

Original

> Amazon licencie des salariés qui ont affiché leur soutien aux blocages des "gilets jaunes

Translation

> Amazon fires employees who have shown their support for the "yellow vests" blockades

HN title

> Amazon fires employees who supported “yellow vest” blockades of Amazon sites

I did not use Google Translate but I'm sure it says nothing about "publicly" since that word is completely missing from the article's title. The HN title is perfectly equivalent... now.

I assume the title of the thread was changed before both of our comments. Which makes my original question legitimate and also makes me wonder if the mismatch you see is caused by the wrong translation.
I think that's a pretty good analogy. If you do everything right, you'll get this malfunction under control. But it's easy to see how pilots whose plane is acting up unexpectedly can miss it, and it's reasonable to ask whether Boeing could've done better - and the regulators (note that according to the article, FAA and EASA were convinced by Boeing that this did not require re-training, while the Brazilian regulator wasn't).
I'm all about Blink, actually.
It's part of CSS Colors Level 4, which is still in draft stages, but some browsers (but not all) already support it. It's the same as #ffff99ff (same draft), which is the same as rgba(255,255,153,100%) or #ffff99
It's perfectly clear what was meant if you read the surrounding context.

Reminds of Bhopal, a city in India. People there are very fond of numbers. You see people getting on a bus and buying a ticket for "aath number" (number 8) or even "saade paanch" (five and half). You are right, thay are names of places. Not feeling well? get youself checked at "baara sau pachas" (twelve hundred and fifty). Yes, that is the name of a public hospital. It took me a while to get used it.
...and moving from one company to another with the same vision is a silly idea? Pretty obvious...
Came here wanting to cite a study advocating use of lowercase letters (as I've been told), but a quick search turned up this:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2016788/

"Our finding that size thresholds for upper-case text were lower than those for lower-case text in Experiment 1 are not surprising, and corroborate the findings of (M. Tinker, 1963) that at great viewing distance (as simulated by small visual size), upper-case text is more legible, even in a font with a relatively large x-height, which might be expected to minimize upper- and lower-case differences. Other fonts, which typically have smaller x-heights, might be expected to show upper-case text to have even greater relative legibility. Contrary to Tinker’s findings, and the conventional wisdom, is the result that upper-case text is more legible in terms of reading speed, for readers with reduced acuity due to visual impairment, and in normally-sighted readers when text is visually small. This result may have practical significance as well; it suggests that, apart from economic considerations of how much space a given sample of text occupies, letter size determines legibility for low vision readers and for those viewing visually small text; and when point size is fixed, upper-case text is simply more legible, albeit less aesthetically appealing, than lower-case."
Why not just post the travelogue after you return?
This isn't just conference-specific. I know people from cultures where long names are quite common. Just like Theodore contracts to Ted, there's a reasonably simple culture-specific way of shortening them, and most of them do shorten them, e.g. Venkataramarajan to Venkat or Consolación to Conny. Note that often the contraction isn't obviously related to the original name (e.g. William => Bill).

This is why any system that takes names should have a way to specify a "Display Name", which may or may not follow the firstname lastname pattern. Particularly when those names need to be printed out for conferences.

Don't go to a supermarket to get good olive oil in the US. There are a few small stores scattered around that sell good olive oil.

Dark glass is cheap and so cheap oil at a premium price comes in a fancy dark bottle. You are paying for the fancy bottle (which doesn't cost much more than a cheap plastic bottle of the same stuff - profit)

A harvest date is useful if you can find one, but doesn't really mean quality. If the date is more than 3 months ago it means subpar though which is something.

At least to me it makes no sense to mix a "premium" product, i.e. extra virgin olive oil with sunflower oil

You're thinking from a culinary rather than marketing standpoint. And quite frankly Extra Virgin olive oil doesn't have to be that expensive. Here's a company that sells (what it claims to be) extra virgin olive oil for less than $1.50 a liter when you order by the ton: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Extra-Virgin-Olive-Oi...

> that person may still feel as if they have been defamed.

Don’t defamation or personal honour laws cover this scenario already in most countries, as would be the case with obscene caricatures of someone? Do we need new laws specific for deep fakes in that case? What about for videos that very obviously just paste the target’s face on top of another video?
I still find that pretty tacky. Is there a reason someone would build something like this in JS instead of a more suitable language? I get that front-end developers probably know JS best from a user perspective it's a bad language choice just from the distribution alone.

I don't see how 'His Grace' is any sillier than 'xir.' At the very least, it has many, many years of tradition behind it.

The above command just installs a folder with plain JS files in it, I'm not sure what system pollution you're talking about. It's very convenient for web developers to use cli tools written using the same languages and stack as their end products. I'm guessing you're not a web developer ...

AI system will warn you if your partner is in an argumentative mood
Yeah, this is a very good point. I never use Google anymore and assumed that going incognito would have been enough to get roughly 'bare' results. Perhaps a reminder that just because you don't use Google doesn't mean that Google isn't tracking you extensively in any case due to analytics and countless other indirect forms of tracking and profiling.

I just kept reloading the same search through a bunch of different TOR identities + anti-finger printing, and it was like playing search roulette. And indeed there were, on occasion, actually some great results that don't show up elsewhere. It's such a shame that they're all masked behind some black box of tracking with another black box of ML and filtering. It's like two people going to the same library where librarian deciding to hide books from one person or the other because she, and her all seeing eye, thought they'd have less interest in them than other books.
But the difference is not only do the pilots of a commercial airliner have vastly more training and experience than your average driver, but they literally have a list of things to try (and extensive training on following the list) in the case of a malfunction like an uncommanded nose-down.

Imagine that the failure that caused the nose-down wasn't a failed AOA sensor giving bad readings to MCAS, but some other reason that _also_ wouldn't have been solved by pulling back on the yoke, but would have been by completing some later step on the checklist. Suppose the pilots didn't follow the checklist. Would that be enough information to say that Boeing is responsible?

To be sure, in this case the pilots may have followed the checklist! It may well be the case that Boeing is completely responsible! The checklist items might not have worked, or there may have been a good reason that the pilots didn't follow it, or the checklist might have been crazy, or they might not have had time to do what needed to be done, etc. There's still a whole lot that's not known (or hasn't been released) about what happened.

I'm just not sure that the current evidence, _viz_ that Boeing made an internal software change, that they didn't explicitly call it out to pilots, and that there's no difference in the actions prescribed in the event of an uncommanded nose-down pre- and post-change, is enough to say that the fault is entirely Boeing's for this accident.
"Back in the days when people would use paper maps to navigate, you'd never find house number 17"

What? Did you see the picture of the paper map of the village in the article? You just go to the building marked 17 on the map. Maybe you'd need to ask someone to get yourself oriented, but you could also use the house numbers for the houses you can see to orient yourself just fine.

Let's be honest here. HN is only open to _certain_ dissenting opinions. If you hold others, people will flame you and then dang will time you out claiming a rules violation without any clarification as to which ones and despite honestly not knowing which ones.

Other users flagrantly violate the rules without issue because they hold the prevailing opinion.
