Hardly comparable to Rimworld. ONI doesn't have combat beyond slaughtering animals. You can end up with your colony starving or suffocating, but you usually caused it yourself / were not careful enough. It also feels like the later part of ONI was quite a bit influenced by Factorio, leading to lots of automation while Rimworld pretty much only only tech subsystem is an electrical grid that explodes whenever you do well.
According to [0] this is true. I'm surprised a president would need to use an EO for this? Couldn't they just command FAA to take a course of action?

It was a joke based on what people often say about FB. I don't use their platforms.
Why wouldn't it be plausible that Trump and the FAA were inclined to do whatever Boeing wanted, but eventually every other country grounding the planes made that position untenable so Trump was forced to change his mind?

There are some pretty great problems in there and your solutions might be novel.
So this is a bad rule, because enforcing it will result in eliminating independent small sites which have no other means for financing themseves than ads.
Pretty sure Google, Facebook, and Apple already have this. They limit it to little convenience features like "Auto-tag your friends" or "Here are some friends you may know" because they don't want to scare people, but they have both the data and the models to do large-scale person search over the entire world. If they wanted to they could launch a search engine where you snap a picture with your cell phone and they tell you who it is, what their home & work addresses are, who their friends are, where they've been over the last week, which businesses they like to frequent, and probably roughly how much money they spend.
Or for Google: it would just build an antitrust case against themselves.
Yep. Thanks! Should have checked the new page before submitting.
With said company owned by apple and paying apple for licensing fees that just so happen to be equivalent to its yearly rev.

That's easy enough to circumvent.

Surely there has to be some aesthetic guidance along the way?

Up until my senior year of college, every writing course I took, I would never get any _aesthetic_ feedback on my work. In grade school, my grammar and spelling would get corrected, but otherwise, what I wrote was what I wrote.

It wasn't until I took a sitcom-writing course in college that a teacher gave me feedback that would make my writing better: "this sentence is too long, you don't need to use these words, this character is too inactive, this scene has no point."

If someone had been that direct with me when I was in middle school, I'd have spent a lot less time writing crap.
Maybe we need more delegation experts? Recursively? ;)
Anyway, you originally wrote:

> you can't trust any organization to evaluate news sources. That can't be true.

But it can.

Successful delegation requires alignment of incentives, oversight or some (well founded) trust relationship. Otherwise, if the stakes are high enough (and if you get to shape the voting or news-consumption and non-consumption of a sizeable fraction of people, they are) bad things will happen to those who are willing delegate, in aggregate.

What makes the expert more trustworthy than the politician or news-source itself? Why would you be better at picking one than the other? Credentials? Max Boot is one of the “world's leading authorities on armed conflict” and well-credentialed (academically and organizationally). Do you trust him? Did the American Tax Payers get a good return of investment of following his expertise laid out in “The Case for American Empire” to the tune of a few trillion Dollars?

Tucker Carlson says no, we shouldn't trust Max Boot. Should we trust him instead? Why not?

The answer is that you can only delegate these things to the extent you're able and willing to critically evaluate the quality and basis of the advice (since you have no mechanism to align incentives). And I'd be shocked if you could come up with a single broadly trustworthy news source evaluation organization -- I am not aware of one, are you? Assuming there is one, how would it stay that way longer term?
My training was more in the “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain” school. My dad, who was trained at the School of Visual Arts in NY, gave me the book as a kid. My drawing teacher in college also focused on representational drawing.

Personally, I still recommend “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain”, because I think it addresses the biggest hurdle: drawing what you actually see, instead of what you “think” you see.

Understanding underlying geometry and primitives is a neat trick, and one that can help with figure drawing. But, it can also make the work feel mechanical and lifeless.

I think there’s a balance somewhere in the middle.

As far as abstract work, I think a solid representational foundation is still important. Picasso, by the age of 13, could paint with incredible realism.

If anyone’s interested, here’s some of my “traditional” work:

The President is analogous to the Chairman/CEO of [most of] the executive branch. That role can tell them what to do and what do focus on, but mostly doesn't. He told them what to do, now the FAA has to do it. The Secretary of Transportation could likely have unilaterally issued an order without needing it to tell the FAA what to do, or waiting for the President.

But either way, this is symbolic and shows the stance of the government to the world and internally. The highest office in the US is grounding the planes like the rest of the world is, the administrative nuances are irrelevant. Boeing and the airlines would be the ones to challenge it, way to go for PR.
I wonder if this will create a "land rush" situation in the aircraft leasing market.

Maybe not given that only 130 737-Max aircraft have been delivered to airlines.

Does anyone here know how aircraft leasing works in scenario like this? e.g. grounding of an aircraft model for an unknown duration, do airlines have the option so "switch out" currently leased aircraft?
But crucially, they’d have no way to moderate for bad actors. You can’t just kick a webpage off the net. Things like Reddit style voting can be gamed, just like app store search and reviews are today. Whoever has the most resources wins, not necessarily who has the best product.

How to Regulate Big Tech (Without Destroying Tech)
You make a fair point, but the right to bear arms is mainly controversial for safety reasons. What safety issues are there with providing customers control (or at least visibility) over their data?

It's also worth pointing out that the right to bear arms, by its origin, should probably be called the "right to revolt". While this is still a controversial issue for governments (governments don't want revolt), it's less controversial for citizens.
Pixelbook is actually really solid.

> if Trump were to give a phone call along the lines of 'Ground the Plane or else I'll write an executive order' , the optics of the situation would be so much better

If the President is requiring it then the proper mechanism to do that is an order.

You're suggesting a side-channel phone call and a threat so that he's still deciding but it's recorded as someone else's decision for PR purposes, and you think that's better? That's a terrible idea.
An Overview of the Panfrost Driver
Perhaps this will be the point at which the current state of the FAA comes under scrutiny and review.

In the UK the equivalent CAA is half-jokingly called "Campaign Against Aviation" for its merciless regulation.

The FAA seems to have veered in the opposite direction, inviting manufacturer staff to lead certification processes etc
What I don't understand is why websites hosted outside the EU, for non-EU users have the cookie banners.

At least keep it in Europe, use the IP to geolocate, let the EU users deal it.

Some companies have outright banned EU traffic, sounds like only showing the banners for EU IPs seems ok.
Sure, because extended suicide by pilot was excluded, but as a passenger I don't care much whether I die because there was a mistake somewhere or because the pilot was criminally insane.

It's downright comical to list Germanwings as "Fatality Free".
Ignoring the fact of MH-17 having been shot down by missile (which took time to prove but was suspected from the outset) really hurts your argument.
One obvious answer is that Musk/Tesla have way more to lose than a random employee by lying. Any random person can lie about anything with pretty minimal downsides, even if they're caught red-handed in that lie.

A company and its CEO have way more to lose in getting caught in a lie, which puts a slight preference towards believing them in uncorroborated he-said-she-saids like this.

Also: "innocent until proven guilty" is a phrase that seems to be eroding away, which is a terrible, terrible thing. The real move here is not to believe either party until you have irrefutable evidence; there is likely some amount of wrongdoing on both sides but none of us are in a position to make judgement calls without that information.
Tracking cookies, pixels, etc., are implemented by server-side software; perhaps the matter you would like to contend is what the meaning of the word "placed" is.

> Advertisement doesn't require profiling and surveillance.

Targeted ads pay much more. Eliminating targeted ads can result in a revenue drop of 50% or more, effectively killing small sites which most of the time make not much more money from ads than what is needed for financing themselves.
Great question! Our AI is trained specifically for data annotation and that leads to a few differences. For example, our data annotation pipeline is not "end-to-end" and would not be suitable for a real-time deployment -- it works on multiple stages and some stages are done by human workers (i.e. editing or verifying the output of the AI), while others are automated.
What are other metrics that can help validate the F1 score? I'm asking because I believe having a small sample size can skew the number or hide a flaw in the classification algorithm it's scoring.

In other words, what else should I ask to validate that a 70% F1-score is better than a 90% F1-score but on a smaller data set?
> If you are able to pay, American healthcare can be higher quality and more timely than Canadian care. Especially the hospitals and doctors in and around Seattle. That's why wealthy Canadians come to the US for some treatments.

It's unlikely you'll find higher quality or more timely care in the US than Canada for anything that would be triaged as urgent (such as a cancer scare). The entire ethos of the Canadian healthcare system is that there should be a single tier system regardless if you're wealthy or poor--everyone gets the same quality of care. This means triaging happens based on urgency of treatment instead who has the most money.

You will certainly be able to bypass any triaging in the US for elective or non-urgent matters, for a sufficient premium (effectively a bribe).

If you're comparing quality with Seattle specifically, then compare against Toronto which has some of the best cancer treatment facilities and doctors.
Is there anything he can do to get any positive approval? I am not american but from outside point of view it seems like in every thread or news comments section it seems like even if Trump saved 50 babies from a burning house people will still find a reason to blame him and search for a bad motive.
Nice job with prerender.cloud! This looks like about the idea I had, but you took it a lot further, beyond the prototype stage into an actual product.

Cookies are only affected if they are not a core and essential part of the product's functionality, and can identify the user. You could also argue that authentication may not be an essential part of an app's functionality, but you would not be successful; it's well-established by now.
Maybe he was letting FAA to do their job to avoid the appearance of interfering, but the external pressure was getting too high and FAA was dragging their feet so he stepped in to overrule. Interesting to see who's the original appointter of the FAA commissioners.
I realized 3 years ago Events is one of the strongest features keeping people on their Facebook accounts (besides Messenger). At least in towns with strong music scenes and going to shows is important to individuals. I started brainstorming features a competing service would have but unfortunately due to my lack of web development experience it never came to fruition. I might still have my notes somewhere. If I remember Ill look for them when I get home later.

I think you have way to many words on your home page. This is a service catering towards events so that is what I want to see when I first come to your site. If I wanted words I would look them on your site, the service should be able to speak for itself. Also, someone already mentioned it, but your domain and your name aren‘t very good. Stuff makes me think im about to be sold something. "How did you hear about this event?" "I found it on Stuff" doesn't work very well imo.

Being able to follow event creators and venues to learn about uncoming shows, and to follor my friends to know what events they are interested or going to.

Opt-in notifications based on GeoIP to find out "Hey, my neighbor is having a yard sale!" Obviously, having the option to create private events that don‘t notify the neighborhood as well.

Being able to post on the events to ask questions would also be an important feature.

Ill double check my notes later to see if there's anything I didnt mention.
BECAUSE THE USER EXPERIENCE IS SO HORRIBLE EVEN FOR TECH PEOPLE

I don't know how many times this has to be repeated. I have a government mandated encryption key on a smart card and even with that PKI (it's really good), email encryption is not doable with most e-mail clients, the functionality just isn't there. Add that and we'll speak why it might still not be happening. Oh, and don't forget that when an encryption key expires my e-mails shouldn't get lost :D
Good idea! Hopefully I can put something together.
Of course the President can just tell the FAA what to do. I understand that.

The question is how the public should have been informed by the event. Dan Elwell, the acting director of the FAA, is both a military and commercial pilot. If he made the announcement, it would have carried far more weight than Trump (who likely doesn't know much about airplanes).
The sheriff debunked it, and then Tesla tried to get the sheriff to hype up the event. The sheriff declined, and then Tesla (according to the sheriff) leaked it to the press.

Boeing 737 Max 8 has a different software system. That software is now a focus of investigators.
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. To counteract this risk, Boeing developed software known as the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, or MCAS.

Max 8s come equipped with a sensor that reads the plane's angle relative to the wind flow, prompting MCAS to automatically trigger the plane's nose to angle downward if it gets a specific reading.

However, problems could arise if the MCAS system gets erroneous sensor readings. The system automatically pushes the plane's nose down, potentially surprising pilots who are unfamiliar with the system and overriding their commands.This is what investigators believe happened to Lion Air Flight 610 before it crashed in October

There is a downside to consumers to grounding those airplanes. Since there are lot of those airplanes in service, it'll result in delays, difficulty booking flights, and significant ticket price increases.

It's shocking to read justification of the bribery and fraud in this case as being just a manifestation of the drive to impart advantages to one's offspring.

I have that same drive. I can't imagine living with a morality that would enable me to pay bribes and falsify athletic achievement, or disability. I can't imagine involving my children in federal crimes.

There are lesser unfair practices, such as the ones the admissions officer in the article describes, and these should be fixed, too. But these lesser unfair practices are different from committing federal felonies. Especially when you are in technology entrepreneurial management, investing, or running a major law firm. It makes one wonder how deep the ethical rot goes.
I think that is great.

But I think it might be a case where Troy notes, you're educated on the topic, and like cookie tracking, you probabbly could have dealt with cookie tracking before GDPR too on your own.

I'm not at all sure that applies to more than a handful of people. If that's the case, GDPR is not helping most people.
Nice mention of Mayan. It is a fantastic tool and the secret weapon in our arsenal!

I'm the IT manager at a legal firm, these are our use case scenarios for Mayan:
- Defeat document dumps (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Document_dump). We just scan everything and use Mayan's full text search.
- We added an .eml importer to upload dumped emails from Exchange servers. The OCR and the indexing sort all the emails by keywords which we then compile as evidence in cases.
- We uploaded tons of historical cases, judicial opinions, laws, amendments, etc. We now have a superb, free, self-hosted, electronic legal research library.

It is not documented, but we tried it and versions > 3.0 of Mayan added search operators (AND, OR, NOT). This puts it on par with dedicated full text search engines like Elasticsearch.

We have been talking about adding something like a Mayan web scrapper to get PDFs from government sites automatically and bypass the FOIA requests for published files since we'll have them indexed preemptively.

Final note: Mayan scales beautifully but after > 500K documents start using Postgres connection pooling or you'll kill your DB server.

I think HN teaches some great lessons. Building an online community has little to do with the technology of the platform. What matters the most is a strong robust set of founders, slow growth, and vigilent moderators. The founders will set the culture, and slow growth will help new comers to adapt. If you experience rapid growth you run the risk of new comers bringing in their own cultures without experiencing some of the "we don't do that here forces" thus diluting what makes the community special. Diversity of backgrounds is great, but once they're here... there are sets of expecations about behavior.

Nobody. Trump has failed to appoint an FAA administrator for his entire tenure as President.

FAA has an acting administrator: Dan Elwell. He was appointed by Trump to be Deputy Administrator.
Everything in California is labeled carcinogenic, and so nobody pays it any mind, but it's still done anyway because that's what regulations and the law say. Similarly, this isn't just a bunch of people who operate websites deciding to write these wacky cookie banners because they think people really care about cookies.

When I implemented one of these it was because lawyers told my team to do it. We didn't want this, neither as developers nor as users of websites. Neither were our designers thrilled at the prospect of cluttering up our site with this dingus.

I get that this is just a general rant, and I agree that people just click through them and don't actually care. But it's important to keep in mind how this actually came about, and (as a somewhat separate point) that lots of things in our society operate this way. Which is not intended as a defense, but it's more common than just cookies.

I usually like Bloomberg, it's one of my favorite news sources but this article seems way off.

They begin by talking about Martin Tripp's story (without any real details of what exactly happened), then they move to some random security guard with claims of sex and drugs in the factory, then they jump back to Tripp's story again and it takes a while for the article to get to the real point of Tripp's story which is:

> "While Gouthro was trying to address the sex, drugs, and raucous disorganization, Tripp decided to go public. He had access to Tesla’s internal production database and dug into it to figure out just how much material was being wasted. He decided to go to Lopez, who’d written about Tesla for Business Insider, emailing and texting her numbers showing wasted material and pictures of battery parts that he said could catch fire.

> Tripp hoped that when Lopez’s story came out, Tesla would be forced to make the changes he’d suggested."

So he actually leaked information. I'm not a Tesla defender but it feels like Bloomberg is trying really hard to portrait Tesla in the worst possible picture here.
Are those violators outside the EU? I'm interested to know if the EU would seriously try to enforce their laws in foreign lands that never agreed to them.
I think it's the lack of information that's scaring people. We don't know why the Ethiopian flight went down, it's just really suspicious that 2 brand new airplanes crashed catastrophically so soon after delivery.

I think it's a good move until we know the full picture though. Better to err on the side of caution when lives could be at stake.
The famous difference between citizen-first EU and corporation-first US. Over here, we do believe that our data is ours. This is reflected in our legislation and regulation.
