> Essentially it's the same as saying that you're scared to pay for anything online and you only trust Apple for making online payments.

I'm not particularly scared of paying for things online. I'm scared of almost anyone else in my extended family doing so, though. If you think that concern's "ridiculous" you haven't watched them use the Web. And lots of them—especially the older ones—have (rightly!) never entirely gotten over fear of buying things online. Some(!) of them do buy things online, but reluctantly, with great deliberation. In an app on an Apple device? Concerns gone. Even for me, that little background stress of being on alert for shenanigans quiets down when I'm in the Apple ecosystem. Far lower (though non-zero—there's a reason I do almost no iOS gaming) permitted rates of douchebaggery is one of the things keeping me on iOS, and the one-source-of-payments is a vital part of that.

[EDIT] there are further benefits to users and developers alike, I should add, when the UI for a purchase is the same in every app. It's worth 30% to "defect" from that, so worth it on the individual level, but if it's permitted at all then the game's up and everyone loses.
Of course. Google's own apps already do something similar by popping up warnings. Why do I need location, Mic, and camera preferences to use gmail or other Google play services apps that shouldn't be using any of those features? That's obviously a rhetorical question when talking about Google.
Yes, I am likewise confused.

Text is one of those enormously complicated human conventions, so it's probably just ignorance speaking. But I would like to understand.
Akkatecture – a framework for building reactive microservice systems
I believe that rendering has entered an era similar to what audio synthesis encountered after sampling synths became pre-eminent - you can do more-or-less anything given enough time, so the main focus of R&D turns towards providing better access, which in synthesis usually means presets. Rather than develop a custom program from scratch, it's more common to have a source library and then modify that into final material.
Is facebook still down or something? Why are they posting the responses on twitter?
That’s quite the hate-on someone has at that site. There’s some funny to be had, but it’s mostly very tryhard. The “coverage” of the Vitamin D thing was great, but when there isn’t low hanging fruit it just sort of defaults to generic noise. Without the anger and repetition it could be worth reading, but as it is there’s a lot of predictable 4channery.
So all this experiment is saying is that wavefunction collapse is observer-dependent and not a global property. It's hard to comprehend that the superposition state exists after the other group makes their measurement and says they've done so. When the wavefunction collapses for the second group, it still has to agree with the first right? So how could the superposition state continued to have existed when only one outcome was possible?
Question: is it realistic to expect cops to know exactly what law someone is breaking before they decide to arrest them? Like I get that in an ideal world this would be the case, but humans only have so much memory. Is it unreasonable if a cop arrests someone because it seems the person is doing something that warrants it, but then later fails to find an actual crime they can charge them with? i.e. Would we be better in world where cops only arrested those whom they could immediately charge with a crime?
If you form a Delaware LLC, you'll then need to register it in NY as well, so you'll be double paying. There's no reason to do so.

A Delaware LLC will be $90 to form, plus annual $300 franchise fee, plus annual registered agent fee (probably $50-$100).

NY registration will be $250, plus $50 certificate of authority, plus $9 biennial fee.

The Unicode space is massive. It's odd they didn't just spend a bunch of code points for those existing (predominately Latin) character.

Unless you are supposed to be able to put an unlaut on any character. CJK characters with umlauts.
On OSX, Sublime Text 2 and 3 never felt much faster than VSCode to me. Small and medium sized files were snappy enough for me not to notice, and they both choked hard on larger (multi-GB or many millions/billions/etc. of lines) files.

Could have been a plugin not scaling, but I didn't care to experiment and find out for sure.

Sublime seems clearly faster on Windows 10 for me though.
I think you missed the point of my analogy. Houses aren't planets, they are orbits; humans inside them are the planets. Orbits don't wildly move in all directions.
Remember that Trump knows a lot about planes. Unlike most people here he owns a big plane made by Boeing. As well as being a narcissist this is something he can feel he can understand, it's his topic, he pays the bills to get his own plane serviced.

more to the point, who told the FAA bods not to pull the plane? Was this the President too?

Because of how this has been handled by the Trump I think Boeing now have a 'Samsung Note 7' on their hands, i.e. a product that isn't going to be re-released as it is poorly engineered and can't be fixed by just changing a supplier or two. It was a hack with another hack to keep the hack okay. There will be a who knew what and when scandal. This won't be like the Dreamliner teething issues due to two lost planes. People can forgive teething issues but a scandal is a different beast.

The point is that all legally licensed 737-type-rated pilots are currently legal to fly the 737 MAX line, no questions asked, no training needed. (As far as I know.) The plane should be moved to a new type certificate and all its attendant requirements, seems to me.

I can’t legally be the PIC (pilot in command) in a Citation 525 (“CitationJet” or CJ) despite it being nearly identical to the 550 (Citation II or Bravo) I can, in most ways that I can tell matters. I have copilot time in both and PIC in the 550 (and related models). The newer plane is even easier to fly, frankly, and has some nice safety features for engine failures. I have to get the training and certification (and recertification every two years) to legally be PIC in the newer Citation, though.

My limited understanding is that the aerodynamics and flight characteristics of the 737 MAX are quite different than the older 737-800 - let alone the even older second (or even first) generation 737s. The memory items may be different. That alone should have mandated a new type certificate in my non-regulatory expert perspective.
It's just apps including tracking code to make money. These days that's how apps monetize. They upload whatever amount of data they can get in exchange for pennies. There's not much you can do short of not allowing apps to do literally anything.

Adwares are just that, ads. Sadly, the mobile app economy runs on ads.
Cars kill people primarily due to human error in judgment or lack of attention. Mechanical or software failures causing fatalities are the overwhelming minority of cases.

Okay let me amend that, does anyone except Roger Stone do that? :-)
Like I obviously don't mean this 100% literally (obviously someone does this somewhere), but I'm trying to ask whether the statement really carries any weight not.
Did people that bought it know that their "lifetime subscriptions" would end in less than 2 years, and that they'd only get 1 month's notice before their houses stopped working? You'd think that a company like Google would have the resources to keep a single VM running to support them, or do what other companies have done and release a firmware update that allows limited offline capabilities.

This basically just comes down to the (sometime unpleasant) reality that on most Unix systems, file paths are not text; they are byte strings that don't have 00 or 2F bytes.
I was all 'pro' this link, until I read:

> Hu-manity.co has ... designed new intelligent contracts on blockchains which humans can use to negotiate new terms of consent and authorization with corporations so that inherent human data can be respected as legal property.

It's great that people are serious about this, but extreme care should be taken with the latest tech hype! Blockchains are (by design) are 'out there', which means that once consent it given, that consent is 'out there' for all time. Blockchain also rather public, so it would seem rather easy to 'harvest' who has consented to what...

... unless I missed something?

It's reasonable to warn and suggest to update. It's not reasonable to not allow to use the old maps just because you don't update - but the Maps app enforces that.

It might have something to do with licensing. Either way, OsmAnd doesn't have that problem.
What can we learn from this?
No. The intended behavior is a nose down nudge every 10s only when a) exceeding a certain angle of attack b) above a certain altitude and c) when flaps are retracted. It's second guessing only at a particular edge of the normal flight envelope to prevent it from departing that envelope.

And all the various layers of protections in fly by wire airplanes do that - they second guess certain inputs to prevent edge cases. But in any case the input is going through software abstraction. Any apparent directness is part of that software behavior.

I'll be interested what the software update due at the end of April entails exactly. I think every airplane should get the angle of attack sensors disagree indication, standard.
I think what you're getting at is Grapl's identification process. It's timestamp based, primarily, at the moment, yes.

A bit of the algorithm is described here:
https://insanitybit.github.io/2019/03/09/grapl

More specifically Grapl defines a type of identity called a Session - this is an ID that is valid for a time, such as a PID on every major OS.

Sessions are tracked or otherwise guessed based on logs, such as process creation or termination logs. Because Grapl assumes that logs will be dropped or come out of order/ extremely delayed it makes the effort to "guess" at identities. It's been quite accurate in my experience but the algorithm has many areas for improvement - it's a bit naive right now.

Happy to answer more questions about it though.

Based on what you seem to be interested I'd like to recommend CloudMapper by Scott Piper.

So if I were to buy a sheet of paper from Amazon every month, that wouldn't be a physical good?

Or is the rule that the physical good can't be accompanied by anything beyond the physical object itself? If that's the case, then is Amazon not allowed to sell items via its iOS app if those items come with warranties?

Or what about video games? If Amazon is allowed to sell physical copies of them, then can Spotify go full-AOL-mode and send a CD with a Spotify installer on it every month?
That's fine, I was just disputing that "no one holds a candle to the US education system".

QuillJS has been working well enough for us as an editor! It supports the collaborative editing we need, as well as mobile.

I could write a whole essay on our whole decision-making on contenteditable controls. The short answer is SlateJS could be great, but didn't work well on mobile yet. DraftJS is kinda abandoned by Facebook, and Quill isn't native to React but still works well, so we used it.

So that engineers can be moved between product groups while carrying relevant knowledge and experience with them.
A very good point, although, my fear wasn't that people would replace 1:1 7M8 flights with a roadtrip across the country, but that grounding an entire plane type would cause people to replace short flights with long drives. I suppose planes falling out of the sky may do that too :)
Those accesses can be more or less justified. Accessing IMEI "just because" isn't a good enough reason.

I use elixir, same thing. The erlang VM is very powerful and makes separation of concerns easy. Splitting an app apart is hard because you get boundaries wrong, but there is no way to scale without adding more complexity somewhere.
I think there's a very big difference between the runtime being implemented in C and the libraries being implemented in C.
I don’t think the parent comment is about arresting. But holding someone without bail until a trial has concluded where by it is deemed that the person is a possible risk to society by being released until trial. (I think)
Has the A320 ever been grounded?

On 24 March 2015, Germanwings Flight 9525, using an Airbus A320, flying from Barcelona to Düsseldorf crashed near Digne in the Southern French Alps, killing all 150 on board. They didn't know it was a suicide pilot until after they investigated. Yet, A320s kept flying in the meantime.

On 29 March 2015, Air Canada Flight 624, using an Airbus A320, flying from Toronto to Halifax carrying 138 people crash landed short of the runway. The aircraft was badly damaged and 23 people were injured.

On 14 April 2015, Asiana Airlines Flight 162, an Airbus A320 with 82 people on board, lost height on final approach to Hiroshima Airport in Mihara, Japan, struck an antenna, and skidded onto the runway on its tail, spinning 180 degrees before coming to a stop. Its main landing gear collapsed and the aircraft suffered damage to its left wing and left engine. 27 of the 82 people on board were injured.

Three incidents, on respectable, high-safety airlines within 3 weeks of each other all with the Airbus A320. Yet, those planes weren't grounded, not even for five minutes. Three serious incidents within 3 weeks of each other is "empirical evidence" that the A320 is unsafe.

But we have a crash from Ethiopian Air, on a plane where the first officer had only 200 hours of total flight experience. And another crash months ago on Lion Air (a ridiculously unsafe airline) and that's "empirical evidence" that the airplane is bad?

Read About Lion Air's "safety" culture: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/22/world/asia/lion-air-crash...

Lion Air should be grounded. Ethiopia shouldn't be flying planes with student pilots in the right seat. There may be issues with the 8 Max, however, it's a fact that inexperienced pilots, bad maintenance, inferior safety processes and negligence will exacerbate any potential flaws in the aircraft. The fact is that in the case of Lion Air, if it were Southwest Airlines operating those flights in Indonesia, flight 610 never would have crashed. Lion Air had days of reported issues before the crash and they ignored them. Look at Lion Air's incidents and accidents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_Air#Incidents_and_acciden... It seems that can't even taxi a 737 safety, let alone be trusted to fly one. And right now we're complaining about the FAA? We should be complaining about airlines that are being allowed to operate with this slipshod respect for safety.

The US, Canada and Europe hasn't had any 8 Max incidents -- the incidents happened in organizations that were operating in ways that would never be allowed in US, Canada, or Europe. That fact seems to be getting ignored in favor of complaining about the FAA or Boeing. The US flies a lot more 8 Maxes than Ethiopia or Lion Air, yet not a single crash. Is that just coincidence or does the US/Canada/Europe just do a better job?
Sorry, I shouldn't have been inflammatory with "Apple tax". We spent more than $3000, and we are not particularly price sensitive (I was buying the maxed-out configuration, not mid-range). At the time I bought it, the XPS 15 has a better specification than what I could choose from Apple (in New Zealand).

I spent a few hours looking, and I did seriously consider buying the top-spec Apple available. I do use MacOS at work sometimes, although I prefer Linux, and I came from a Windows background.

The Dell appeared to have better drivers for Linux than the Macbook Pro, and the XPS has been a good purchase (rock solid so far, no issues).
The underlying economics are unavoidable.

Companies are not trying to 'do inherent evil' - they just want to show relevant ads. And by the way, consumers definitely appreciate the relevance.

There is another side to the equation, and there are economic consequences to all of this that will come home to root.

Personally, I loathe Facebook and don't use it for personal reasons, but I have a small business and it's the only advertising mechanism that works for us: we have a neat little product for a niche category.

There are entire economies that can only exist with the ability to effectively get the word out, there is tremendous social good in this.

We just have to figure out a way to do it that fits within reasonable privacy guidelines.
I'm delaying a decision on an Android tablet:

1. This news plants doubt about whether the ChromeOS/Android hybrid in the Pixel Slate is The New Way or a dead end.

2. Google has botched the evolution of Android's tablet capabilities and tablet support in app frameworks so badly there may not be a future for Android tablets outside of Samsung's proprietary extensions to Android. Let that sink in: Samsung may be, by default, leading the Android tablet future.

3. I don't like what Samsung does to Android. This is a matter of taste. But I know I don't like it.

Presumably Blackberry is using an access token to fetch that data, I can't see any reason why they couldn't also store that access token server side and query data without it ever appearing in device logs.

Ask HN: Tricks to Avoid Eye Problems?
As a software engineer, I have the need to stay many hours in front of a screen.

I work 8 hours a day in an office with a computer. At home I usually spend about 3 hours a day at the computer (social network, programming, side projects, HN, ...).

I usually have slightly red eyes. Lately the problem has gotten worse. I began to have some pains in the right eye and difficulty focusing on the computer screen.

Because of that, I'm currently at home on vacation. I have a scheduled appointment with a vision specialist next week.

This is the first time I have complications with vision. I'm 26 years old, so far I've never had any problems or need glasses.

Someone has some tips to avoid eye problems?

Facebook's Graph API and developer support pages seem to have completely gone to shit. My social media webapp's Facebook login flow is completely unusable ("getting a cannot link <app name> to Facebook" error), and I can't even report a bug or post a status update on my app's Facebook page without encountering an unknown error. It's crazy.
Your email client should show you if you have encountered that identity (identities of course can and should rotate keys, etc, and identities should be also signed by the keys that correspond to the certs signed by the CAs for the website/service). At first you don't know much about it, but it's a signal. If you continue to bank with HSBC and you get emails from them, you'll be able to spot a fake and the email client can say that it's a likely fake. No need to say anything else when you can't say otherwise.
That'd be super cool! It would be non-trivial to implement, but that may be something I consider in the future :) thanks for the feedback!
What were all 737 Max pilots doing after the LionAir crash and Boeing's emergency airworthiness directive?

Thanks for the comprehensive list! A lot of planning tools assume you want a minute-by-minute plan, but we talked to a lot of friends and strangers and quickly realized that the range of planning people do is huge, and our current "place list" format is made to be compatible for a good range of people.

You're definitely not the only one who's requested a checklist, so we're looking into prioritizing that.

We've thought about a more calendar-focused view, where users can explicitly annotate: "this section represents a day" or "this event has a specific time" and would show up on the calendar. I can try to mock something up and see what you think.
