Eh. Supply and demand matters. There's a supply of labor even for bullshit jobs, in part because of a lack of reasonable alternatives to having a job. If there was something people could do that didn't pose a direct threat to their own safety that didn't involve "job" (you know, like UBI), then jobs would have to compete much harder for employees - better wages, or more importantly, being intrinsically rewarding.

Of course, it's quite possible for the supply of workers to exceed the demand for workers. It's not a pretty sight - read up on the Great Depression for example. And that seems to be exactly where we're headed right now. People who once worked in jobs that no longer exist thanks to technological advance and market forces, who have no alternative ways to make a living, and are getting shamed as lazy moochers for it. That's how revolutions happen.
That web site is nice but it does not correctly rate US-only carriers.

Also, Air France 447 was less than ten years ago. So your data may be suspect.
No, it's not a free choice. You cannot pay with your personal data the same way that you cannot sell yourself into slavery, even if you wanted to.

These cookie notices are also almost invariably violating the GDPR. There must be a clear choice, and if you choose not to be tracked, you must be able to still use the service unimpeded; then there must be a clear and understandable description to the intents of data collection; and lastly, the opt-out choice must be accessible equally simply as the opt-in choice (none of this "Accept" vs. "Manage options" bullshit.) For example, one of the very few larger pages where I've seen it done right is Wikia/Fandom.

> Am I allowed to offer users additional functionality in exchange for access to their data?

In a way, yes, but you're phrasing it in a roundabout way. You can ask for personal data to enable additional functionality that requires that data. For example, you're allowed to ask for location if you want to show them some offers nearby. They are allowed to refuse and in that case they cannot use the particular function that's tied to their realtime location. If they've given permission to use their data, you, however, are not allowed to use that location data for any other purpose other than what they explicitly agreed to and what's actually needed to provide the service. I.e. you can ask for the location to provide a location based service but you don't need their age and income data; also you cannot use their location for other purposes they aren't informed about. And you certainly aren't allowed to sell it to someone else without an express permission.

In short - you need a clear and explicit permission for specific purposes, and you cannot deny access to those parts of your service that don't require personal data.
Nothing worse than that sinking feeling of "oh fuck, we have to backfill a lot of data.
Getting off Twitter would probably boost his approval by a couple points.

People can and will disagree with policies regardless of who or what is in office. But the way he conducts himself and the people he surrounds himself with really push people the opposite way, though at the same time it's distracting from some of his less agreeable policies.

This is the correct move. Airline crashes are so rare that two crashes of a new model within 6 months of each other must be cause for grounding flights.

The fact that Boeing cut as many corners as they did to bypass mandatory training just adds more smoke to the fire. When the dust settles on this episode I won't be surprised to learn that Boeing (and FAA regulators) is found completely at fault for engineering shortcuts to save costs on re-training.
>Nah. If you had sincerely posted something critical of climate change (on a more relevant article) that wasn't nonsensical at first sight, and were downvoted without being responded to, then sure. Call HN an echo chamber.

No accusations needed. HN is far less likely to be an echo chamber on these subjects; which is why I had to pull a big gun out like climate change; which was referenced multiple times in the article.

>But you were just being a contrarian troll.

Still further proof of the point of the article.

Climate Change
A United Nations panel of climate scientists says it is at least 95 percent certain that human activity is the dominant cause of climate change since the mid-20th century. Climate sceptics challenge that consensus daily on social media, arguing that fluctuations in global temperatures have occurred in previous era and are natural events.

The article absolutely talked about climate change in depth and even brought up climate skeptics. I simply brought up a single point of discussion.

The point of the article is that it has become toxic to talk about subjects like climate change.

I simply provided the example and you come call me a troll. Literally proving the point.
Thank you so much for your feedback. Much appreciated.

I think drawing and painting is a wonderful investment to make in yourself. Others here may disagree, but I highly recommend the classic, “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.”

I’d suggest getting some big paper, some fairly wide felt brushes, and India ink. This will force you to loosen-up and get your body into it. A common mistake is gripping a brush or whatever like it’s a #2 pencil and you’re about to do homework. The aim is to be free, loose, smooth.

Experiment with charcoal. Use materials you don’t feel bad about “wasting”. It takes practice.

Drawing from life is invaluable, so if you can find time to go outside and simply draw what you see, you’ll get steady progress. Try to measure with your hands / brush, to see how accurately you’re depicting the scene in front of you.

It’s a rewarding challenge. Also, remember to breath :)

Good luck!

> his Secretary of Transportation is in charge of the FAA

I actually don't believe this is true - I can look up citations in a bit, but the FAA is an independent body whose directors are appointed by the president.
Agreed, but these rules are clearly defined, make sense to the common man and actually lead to what they should lead to, namely that I can, with great confidence, eat anywhere without being poisoned.

GDPR is terribly vague and creates a barrier-to-entry. Draconian measures may hurt large companies, but they threaten smaller ones.

EU is saying they don't like Silicon Valley behemoths' power but they want valley-like companies in the EU (sometimes even calling for a 'European Google', as if you could just pass a rule to make that happen). And then they create laws that make it easy for the large players and harder for their competition.

Everyone here spent a great deal of money for some compliance boo-hoo. FAANG has your consent and upgrades their policy, done.

To me, this seems like ineffective and incompetent lawmaking, no matter if the intentions were sound.

I think I may have upset you. I don't understand your original comment in the context it was made. From my perspective rb808 thinks that health care expenditures ought to be added to the U.S. tax computation to make comparisons to other OECD nations' tax rates. I don't agree with this for the reasons I stated.

As an aside I think if one doesn't view something as a tax then it shouldn't be added to the tax calculation. If one wants to say we are both taxed low and in return don't receive as much government services and so it balances out then have at it. I don't agree with that perspective either but it's a logical one to make.

If you agree with rb808 I wish you well in convincing others with your point of view.
Thanks for pointing this out. Although using crowdsourced labor could be the most cost-effective, we don't think it can guarantee the level of quality we get from in-house team.

>The Max 8 is outfitted with bigger, more fuel-efficient engines than earlier 737s, and the weight and positioning of those engines shifted the plane's center of gravity forward, increased the potential for the nose to pitch up after take-off.

Umm, a little confused here, if the center of gravity shifted forward, why will the pitch up tendency increase?
If you are building everything on the same machine you could get rid of the registry and watchtower, mount the host machine docker socket into your pipeline, and build and start the image on the host machine from inside your pipeline.

I use dockerhub/github/drone/watchtower to automatically publish images and update services. I use dockerhub and github to avoid self-hosting the registry and version control. I also have about a dozen servers (as opposed to single-server in your example). This works really well for me and does not feel patchy. Yes there are moving parts, but fewer moving parts than a full-blown orchestration system.
Data science (although I do a lot less of that now, I still work exclusively with data). And taking lots of general AI/math classes outside of just ML also generally taught me better problem solving strategies. You would be surprised how often planning, constraint satisfaction, optimization, graph theory etc. come up in every day life. And the upper level algorithms classes I think also improved my problem solving creativity. Compilers and (intro level) theory of computation were pretty useful too.
Oh yes we do. Music today is orders of magnitude more in all directions that you want to explore "music space". Mozart would feel he is in paradise if he were resurrected today, sooo much to explore, sooo many more options. From instruments to the variants of music, not all based on the European system, to how easy it is to listen to music at any time, anywhere (even if the quality is not concert hall, even a mediocre player beats not having the option at all).

I play (alto and soprano) recorder and violin, amateur-casual, and listen to almost all styles there are at least occasionally, and depending on mood and context find amazing things in many places. The kind of music Mozart knew is such a small subset.

What may have suffered, not sure, is the ability to play an instrument. Given how easy it is to listen to music made by others anywhere there is no need to learn how to play. On the other hand, using computers and modern music tech in general you can compose and play music that Mozart had to get a hundred people together for, and you don't need to train your synthesizer to play your notes.

When I imagine I would meet a medieval society the one thing that I would want to bring is a synthesizer (and solar panels and good speakers), and a huge electronic library of music. We have come a looong way in the last one- to two hundred years, with ever increasing speed in new musical developments.
Well, only somebody completely out of touch with reality (=government folks) wasn't able to predict outcome of this law.

Good thing that there are browsers extensions which take care about removing these "cookies" notification so I don't have to deal with it.

Regular users absolutely do not care about privacy,cookies GDPR etc. When events like "cambridge analytica" occur they will be enraged, maybe even some "thumbs down" and "angry face" emotes will appear under facebook news notification before scrolling further down! Probably for HN users it is hard to comprehend because you are looking at the world from inside of your knowledge bubble.

More knowledgeable users know that this is total farce and masquerade and don't care about cookie notifications too.
There's also nothing you can do about appearing in friends' photos, or in the background of random strangers' photos in public places, or that article for the school newspaper that celebrated your basketball team victory in 11th grade, or (in many cases) headshots on your employer's team page. And that's only the legal and innocent ones. Somebody hacks into your phone or your company's org chart and suddenly a whole bunch of your photos are out there on the dark web.

> It sounds like he had to go to an Executive Order to get the FAA to comply.

The words he used was "emergency order" and "we", not "executive order" and "I". CNBC is reporting it (not quoting any official source which says that, and citing only the President's "emergency order" public statement) as an "executive order", but other news sources are not, and Boeing is saying that they recommended the grounding to the FAA.

My initial impression is that this is an FAA action based on Boeing's recommendation that the White House wanted to take the press attention for.

Estonia provides everyone a smartcard with a per-person certificates on it, those could absolutely be used to exchange encrypted e-mails in general, but the reason they aren't is because e-mail clients do not support it, there isn't a single e-mail client that comes even remotely close to that functionality. People resort to encrypted containers ASICE and attach those.
> will have an effect of discouraging groundings with less than two crashes, or with 2 crashes more than 18-months apart.

I don't see why this is necessarily the case. Clearly, there should be some established baseline to prevent regulatory capture by the industry.

> Which is why Congress' role of executive oversight and accountability is as important as its role of writing legislation

I think it's fair to say that object executive oversight has gone completely out the window in the last 20 years or so.

Claims intermittent fluctuations in AoA can activate the MCAS. So no need for the AoA indicator to be faulty then, means the risk of false MCAS intervention is higher than previously believed.
But if you extend the time frame by a month and a day, it's 51.

I otherwise agree.
The warnings under the old law were idiotic. Under the GDPR, however, you're required to have clear consent with an easy refusal option. But just like the cookie warning, so, so many sites are violating that requirement because, hey, you cannot go after everybody, right? I don't think there were really any consequences for violating the old cookie law, so the majority are maybe approaching the GDPR the same way (even though this time there are actual punishment options.)
Another advantage is that you can run more up to date packages than your distro would allow, or different versions of the same one.

The downside is that you should rebuild the containers daily to be sure to have all the security patches. Not as convenient as apt-get. Maybe it's more cost effective to run another VPS or two.
My career involves making visual art (drawing painting, 3d art and more) there is a lot of great advice here,

Kingkawn is absolutely right, familiarity with the materials absolutely shortens the gap between desired results and actual results.
billfruit mentioned what my favorite teacher always hammered at me "to learn to draw (/paint) you have to learn to see" learning to interpret what's in front of you as 2d forms, textures, lines, also helps in translating what you want to paint to what you will be painting.

there's a lot more here but what I'll add is a very specific resource - https://www.alexhays.com/loomis/ Loomis books got me started in art. they were written 80 years ago and still are some of the most approachable books on how to draw and paint available.

my own favorite traditional art is figure drawing / sculpting and it doesnt completely overlap your desires but for that I recommend a good anatomy book (my favorites are "Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist" by peck, and bridgeman's "constructive anatomy" which are at the photo-real and volumetric breakdown ends of the spectrum)

really the main thing that helps learning art is to reduce your barrier to creating. join a regular life drawing or plein air painting group, start with a home studio you can relax at. something that can be regular and low pressure.

hope this all helps.
I think they are currently going after the big ones. Personally, I expect that to change once they are through with them. It simply makes no sense to go after big companies when there is still google and facebook to go after. And well, medium and small? I think those still have another year or 2.
Like a lot of things, its a matter of resource allocation. Asking a sheriff to do a press release that's a lie lessens the credibility of the source. Having a company ask you to use your resources to "investigating crimes at the Gigafactory" without Tesla's honest cooperation is a waste of those resources and could get someone else killed while his people chase their tails. It is an extremely reasonable judgement call on the sheriff's part, and he should be commended for not bowing to the pressure of a big company over his office's integrity and the rest of the citizens he is responsible for.
I entirely agree with the premise that citizens don't know their rights well enough. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't be available to them.

Most people don't know how to read nutrition labels either; they're still there and it's a good thing they're there. Do you think they should be removed simply because people don't know how to read them?

I can make the same argument as to why I believe open source is important. Most people don't know how to read source code.
Given what we can see on the surface, DF is probably a mess under the hood. I'd bet a competent C programmer could speed it up a LOT with old-fashioned single-threaded optimizations.
Maybe he wanted to be seen as the savior vs letting the FAA do it?
Actually it shows the US had an untenable position once the EU and Canada grounded them.

It also shows the US has no legitimacy, Trump a corrupt head of state and the FAA is a Boeing lackey.
All of this news has prompted me to see where Boeing stock is at. Beyond the expected decline in price, I was more interested to find out how parabolic BA's price rise has been in the last 5 years.

Side note: I tried finding a site that would let me link out to a chart showing the full price history of BA. It's surprisingly difficult to find.

Well, it's certainly impressive.

I always wanted to learn how to draw but then when my college provided me with an iPad Pro and Pencil, I didn't have any more excuses. I think Procreate (an amazing Photoshop-like drawing app for iPad) was only $10 at the time of purchase so this setup completely removed all cost for me to get into the hobby.
While I'm still more invested in other forms of art (photography and CG mainly), sketching/drawing allows me to remove my mind from my Engineering coursework for a time and open my perspectives.
