The car analogy doesn't help that much here; plenty of cars work in that fashion. Not the average consumer car of course, but again, even then a company is free to do so. Might hurt their business, where at Apple it's not a problem because they make plenty of money.

I think that is where part of the problem lies: you can choose to do something with the platform or you can leave it alone. Seeing it as an 'I must do something with the platform' is rather strange considering it is a private, non-public platform in the sense that it has an owner and the owner is free to make whatever rules they want to as long as it is within the boundaries of the law (i.e. you can't require use of a platform to be paid with organs :p ).
I hope there's more to that upgrade story. I mean, micro-transactions are popular in video games but an optional feature that gives you +1 life in real life is almost unthinkable to put behind an additional paywall.

>I’m sure our specs were good enough that APIs are clean and service failure is isolated and won’t impact others.

Surely if you're building microservices, this line of thinking would be a failure to stick to the design? If your failures aren't isolated and your APIs aren't well-made, you're just building a monolith with request glue instead of code glue.

I appreciate the point is more that this methodology is difficult to follow through on, but integration tests are a holdover - you can test at endpoints: you should be testing at endpoints! That's the benefit.

FAA is not in the business of operating based on unsupported assumptions. The investigation for the second crash is not complete and a root cause is not known.
No. At the same time: 6R's. Do what makes sense and measures right, not what is hip in the moment.
For one thing, documents rarely prove anything on their own (how do you even know they're not forgeries?) without the investigatory powers needed to verify the information in them. Which the government has and Twitter doesn't.

We don't. The government is also not the only entity that can perform forensics on purported documents. News companies do it all the time, and their are hundreds of e-forensics firms in the US and EU that could happily do it for a fee. There's also thousands of people with access to Twitter and the spare time to dig into any purported document leaks to verify them for accuracy. In fact, Twitter is a good (but not even remotely the best) way to get all the interested/competent parties aware of the documents.
How would that solve anything? The comment you are replying to doesn't want to be asked for permission for cookies. The commentor wants all the cookie requests to be accepted automatically.
Reading one of the pictographs in the article, it's noting that the heavier engines changed the aerodynamics of the plane in a negative way. Boeing engineers added what they call MCAS to counter these negative effects.

Now, I'm not an aerospace engineer, but common sense tells me that if you add something to a system that introduces a negative effect, you remove that something - not add something else to counter it.

But, that's me.

Are you allowed to sell your kidney in the US? (No, you aren't.)

This means that a site operator can't offer you access to a super awesome news site in exchange for your kidney. They can't get away by saying "but you can choose not to use the site".

Well, Europe does the same thing for your personal data.
marketing matters. electric cars have been around for 100 years, but they weren't getting any measurable adoption until Tesla came around and made them seem cool. I don't like a lot about Tesla or Musk, I'm not sure they have what it takes to mature, but you can't dismiss the effect their shenanigans have had on the industry.
It's been used consistently to get initial code execution on the PlayStation 4, iOS (for attacks involving just following a web link), and probably used pretty consistently other nation-state attacks but I have no real data to back this up.

The Pegasus spyware for instance utilized a JIT attack in JavaScriptCore in Safari for the initial stage.

What actually amazes me is that... Python is good enough:

> A naive Python script that loops over all needles and calls str.find in a loop to find all matches.

> working through all 3.5 gigabytes of test data once

> Time is ~6.5s.

I love these kinds of benchmarks. They consistently show that for specialised cases you do need to drop down to C/Rust/hand-written Haskell implementations. In many-many more cases, well, even Python with a naive implementation is good enough.

Not to diss Haskell or Rust. Only saying: chose your tools as you see fit, and benchmark.

Also kudos to the authors to use mean instead of average in the graphs.
As mentioned in the article, this is interesting for game developers that aren't allowed to run unsigned code (eg: JIT).

JavaScript is very popular the programming zietgiest and likely to be a language non-programmers are exposed to via the web. Part of me wonders if game engines would take to integrating it instead of Lua if designers might be more familiar with it.
I'm pretty sure businesses use status pages to divert attention from support resources, they never seem to give useful information about outages and half the time don't even mention the outage.
this isnt very accurate. Usually, there is first a generic "this site uses cookies" popup, then an interstitial about how much they "care for your privacy", then a popup about their newsletter, and finally a sticky header to nag you to take their survey.
I really don't understand this argument at all. 350 lives have been lost. That means something. This isn't reactionary. There's something wrong and people need to look into it. For now, stop flying those planes.
Not sure that I completely follow your logic in regards to the "tax" here. With any product, you have two main things: production of the product and distribution of the product. Spotify doesn't NEED to be on Apple devices (they started off on the web), but they WANT to be on Apple devices (and Android devices) because they are great distribution channels for its product.

That said, how much is distribution worth to Spotify? Imagine that Spotify was not software, but instead it was a hardware device. Would they expect Best Buy to carry it for free? Would they expect Walmart or Target not to offer a store branded competitor? I think not.

When you don't own your distribution channel, you pay for distribution one way or another.

Selling music isn’t a side job for Apple though.

It’s one of the most fundamental parts of their ecosystem.

And your analogy is really bad. If you own a fairground and a doughtnut shop then it is not illegal to exclude competitors. It’s normal business practice.

Thank you so much! The human-in-the-loop piece really starts to kick in for larger volumes of data where we can iterate the fine-tuning process several times.

I doubt Sudanese protestors are watching football and eating big macs on their off-time. Most likely limiting their protests to once a week 1. makes for a single, effective push, 2. keeps the protestors and their families from starving.

I believe that too but some of the services seem unrelated (like Flickr and Capital One).

Now, another interpretation is that the reports are simply false...

It can be quite complicated if you use a docker version without containerd's CRI. And you do if you follow the version recommendations (because docker has a lot of regressions). GKE does it, so we do it.

Kubelet actually has a translation layer baked into it that it starts in-process when detecting docker, which provides the gRPC CRI interface on a real filesystem socket.

Samsung and Huawei are pretty much unchallenged in the tablet space since every other major OEM has now abandoned the market.

The rule of thumb for me is to buy the device with the highest screen resolution you can afford. Those tend to have the beefiest specs. Common high-res tablets have screens either at 2048 x 1536 (4:3) or 2560 x 1600 (16:10). I prefer 4:3 tablets so on Android, that really only leaves the Galaxy Tab S2 or S3 (the latter having pen functionality).

I'm still getting an iPad because the productivity apps are far superior, purpose-built and actively maintained. And that happens because people actually pay for the app. On Android, everything is freemium, so people are incentivized not to pay, and developers are incentivized to jam up the UX with ads and "unlock this with Premium" CTAs.

Yes, I can write webdev code on my Android tablet with Droidedit, and connect via SSH to my web server. But it's a hassle to do so, especially when the app in question feels like a scaled up phone app instead of a purpose-built tool.
I think "useless" doesn't mean that it doesn't benefit the employer, but rather that it doesn't benefit the employee, and it arguably doesn't benefit society.
Fortunately, the userland functionalities of those examples are packaged separately, I checked just to be sure:

wireguard: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/netw...

virtualbox: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applicatio...

openafs: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/servers/op...

Of course, this is not well documented so I understand that someone who isn't knowledgeable about NixOS would presume like the author that they had to depend on a Linux kernel to get these userland packages. Even I can't say with 100% confidence that everything packaged up under linuxPackages has a kernel agnostic version derivation for its userland components.

I remember being very skeptical of NixOS when I first started using it and it seemed like it was trying its best to prove me right. It really was my dislike for Ubuntu that motivated me to go all the way.
I'm going to separate Musk from the other asshole billionairs, for now, because I truely think there's a higher purpose here that his companies are helping bring about. I think his heart's in the right place too. Something happens to people when they become that rich and are surrounded by sycophants. I wish he had respect for his staff and treated them well, same with Bezos but Tesla is more useful to the world than Amazon.
That makes sense. Adding more things only complicate the system more and once the original "something" is changed or tweaked, now the rest of the system needs updated to balance again.
Ethiopian Captain had over 8000 hours, and the airline is a Category(right word?) 1 Airline, able to fly into and out of the U.S. directly. They actually have a stellar safety record.

Just because it's Africa doesn't mean the operators were lacking.
« You need at least 3 redundant sensors in any safety critical system «

Huh? Says who?
No, your analogy oversimplifies the situation, just like that old joke about airlines selling paint for different prices.

Apple or Google's app store isn't a blank / open space where you entered an agreement that you have right to do anything you want. Just because you want to not run your code by Apple every time doesn't mean you have the right to do it.

There is no expectation that you have access to their hardware or software kit to do anything that you define. It's not like owning a car.

If the terms of your agreement are that you get time-limited / renewable access to a certain company's playground, what right do you have to insist that they change their terms, with recourse to what law?

There could be laws that decide that there should be open access. But there aren't. Why should this kind of lawsuit succeed in misinterpreting the law? The law can be rewritten, but until then I believe this effort should fail.
One factor no one has mentioned is "what's the cost of doing a deploy" and "what's the cost of recovering from a bad deploy".

If your product is purely server-side then both of these costs can be made small and you can perhaps release multiple times per day.

If your product is a desktop app that users have to download or a mobile app that has to be certified then deploy costs are larger (esp for your users) and may be bottlenecked by some external gatekeeper.

If your product is embedded software that cannot be remotely updated where you need to do a complete product recall to fix any serious bugs or pay technicians to visit each site to roll out a new version... you might want to release once every year or two with a very high quality bar.
At least it scales responsively down to a simple (right-angled?) column
I just politely say no to these. Being asked is awkward, but I rarely feel obligated.
There's nothing wrong with unstable airframes. Military craft have required computer assisted flight for decades.

What's problematic with 737 MAX is that the stability assist was obviously installed as an after thought, and even worse, it's dependent on instrumentation that does not have several layers of fault tolerance as would be the case if it was actually built with the care that planes actually require to be as dependable as they are.

So the instability is not a problem. That boeing tried to get around it with a cheap patch of jury rigged software that is depending on input from non-fault-safe instrumentation, is.
> Also kudos to the authors to use mean instead of average in the graphs.

What do you mean? "Mean" with no qualification usually denotes arithmetic average (or mean).
Although I love Inbox, it had no chance of being a $100 million dollar business. It would have been lucky to clear $10 million, even ignoring the fact that nearly all of its revenue would be cannibalized from gmail itself.
It's not just those two, it's standard practice: Audible, Google Play video, Amazon video, Amazon music, Playstation Video, Vimeo, Sky Store video, and YouTube Premium/Google Music (same subscription with different marketing).

Deezer music went another route: you can pay for your subscription through an iOS device, but you'll pay a higher price. [0] I'm surprised Apple permit this.

All this strikes me as a clear indication that Apple is asking for too high a cut.

I've never been tempted to use a mobile app to shop on, say, Amazon, but Apple are clearly ok with that experience being far better on Android than on iPhone.

> In my book, the problem is that you are not allowed to provide a link to your payment website inside your app.

That's a fair point, but those folks probably aren't reporting AWS problems, and it's showing a spike too.
Perhaps give people the option. What we think of the 'school system', only really started around 1900. That everyone had to attend to at least grade 6 or 8, or the family would be fined. It was a big struggle to enforce mandatory eduction for children, in official schools.

I think we need to have more adult learning opportunities. And, that this has to come from governments, unions, and employers all working together.

Take for example car manufacturing plants. We know those factories are going to close, they always do. That means 1000 to 2000 people laid off. Wouldn't it better to have a 4 day work week, with 1 day of education. Perhaps learning auto repair, welding, or some other skill that people can fall back to or transition to.

But, the only way to get the 4 day work week, with 1 day of education, is to have a large social shift in how things function.
He's suggesting making the decision once, per-browser, not per-website, whether or not to allow cookies. Then the browser can include this information in the HTTP header, so the website never needs to ask you.
That type reductive reasoning can be trivially applied to any proposed solution (for nearly any problem). You can't really force anything, eventually you just have to accept that some folks won't go along with it, and let them make their own mistakes.
We are all free to disagree with a law of course. It doesn't change it, however (and I like it).

Um, WAY more people have died and been assaulted in former colonies than died or were assaulted during colonial rule (see Egypt and South Africa).

The ethics of colonization can be debated, I’m certainly not an advocate of it, but the safety of the citizens living then vs now can’t be, it’s at least an order of magnitude more dangerous to live in Egypt and South Africa now than during colonial rule.

This is not that extreme scenario so what is even the point of bringing up? 2 brand new planes crashed under similar circumstances. It makes no sense to wait til the conclusion of the investigation to ground. That has perverse incentives to hurry an important investigation.

Most airliners with jackscrew activated horizontal stabilizers don’t have enough elevator authority to counter a fully deflected tailplane. I don’t think that’s in any way abnormal to the -Max. What is abnormal is the failure mode that seems like it can deflect to full nose down from stability augmentation.
Amazon can build their own phones and run their own store. In fact they did.

1. My company has massive first mover advantage and inertia. All other players have exited the space because all other players were driven out by deep discounts that my company was offering via VC money to capture the market. Now the market is impermeable to any new players.

2. My manager is not really watching out for companies overall profitability. His main goal is to make himself look good and have some BS "accomplishments" on his resume, rise as high as possible in the chain.
Eventually this company will go down( for the reasons u mentioned) and my manager will find a new job with his buddies at new place. Repeat.

So let's do an exercise. You have someone you trust someone's word, they tell you they're going to pick you up at X time and Y location. Do you trust them, why do you trust them? So now, why can't this same scenario exist for Elon and someone, say Saudi money, for securing funding - someone saying they will give you all the money he needs to take Tesla private? You're presenting no proof it was a fallacious statement from him, based on his belief of what funding secured meant. You're also presenting a very one-sided argument. Elon also yes "hates" - so arguably it makes at least equal sense, if not more, that he'd legitimately want to take Tesla off the stock market.
