Well, I think this is more like a newcomer vs. power user scenario. If you are new to XMPP, Quicksy gives you a decent messenger without requiring you to know how everything works. After a while though, you might learn that you can host your own server or use your own domain and want to do that. At that point, however, you would have to switch to Conversations as Quicksy allows only Accounts on Quicksy servers (AFAIK).

Actually, I don't think the primary reason for Quicksy is to increase the sales of the Conversations app. I think it is more about to get more people in contact with the XMPP ecosystem, without asking them to pay for an app like Conversations up front. After all, the ones who are doing XMPP nowadays are fighting for the cause and not for the cash.
Budgetary messes and administrative Independence gets out of hand... partly because congress doesn't bother to provide real oversight.

But the whole "deep state" term seems to imply a great deal more. We have people here claiming the CIA is doing this to undermine the president. That's not at all backed up or necessary follows bureaucracy operating on its own.
He's probably right, it's not reasonable and dropbox is a shitty product. But the market has determined it's valuable, despite what we techies think.
I was once in a position that sounds very similar. The hardest part for me (besides dealing with the failed startup) was that the tech-jobs recruiting machine had changed considerably over my 9 years out of the market and my old bag of job hunting tricks wasn't working anymore. I took a course with these guys (https://www.outco.io/) and the job offers started rolling in within 3 weeks. Highly recommended.

I think it is closer to electric cars.

Electric cars are far from new, in fact, the first car to exceed 100 km/h in 1899, was an electric car named "La jamais contente".

And for decades after that, other impractical electric cars came out. But as technology improved, they started looking more and more promising, then commercially viable, then desirable, and they are on their way to becoming mainstream.

I think we are at about the same point with VR. It is more than a novelty, but here are still kinks to iron out before it becomes mainstream.

I used the Google project stream beta. I have a gigabit internet connection but live a few hundred miles from a Google data center. The experience was pretty good. Assassin's Creed is not super latency sensitive, and most of the time I didn't even notice. I'd probably prefer to stream 1080p60 than play at 30fps on a console.

I'm still not convinced it can be commercially successful though: not that many people have a good enough connection, and most people who care about games at all will already have a better way to play them.

Here's my question about unions and worker controlled workplaces.. What happens when the entire shop becomes uncompetitive?

I partially agree with you on the point that we should be cautious with not storing any and all communications "forever", but messages among friends, relatives, etc., and on groups focused on specific topics can be very nice to look back on (or even get inspired by).

I was objecting the "Debian workflow is more complex than a forking" part.

In reality it's even simpler than what I described (if you don't remove the deb-src lines from your apt source config like I do). If you want to modify a Debian package you only need to use "source" instead of "install" for the package you need, for example "apt source curl" will download the tarball, diff and dsc file for the curl package in the working directory, no browser involved. ^__^;

I use the tracker site when I need to build some packages from unstable or experimental, usually recent libraries that I couldn't find on backports.debian.org.

This is a news story because your experience is the typical experience. I've lost one flock to a baby bear (unusual) and one to a wild mink.

Correct. Not to play psychic, but I'm assuming the original poster chose to share this as a friendly reminder that as a general rule, Boeing does not have a track record of placing human lives above their continued corporate profitability.

"If Boeing knew about a problem with the MCAS, they'd have told the FAA and corrected it" is not a hypothesis in-line with their past behavior, should anyone be holding that hypothesis in their minds.
This is going to depend on all sorts of things, especially how the animal was raised from a bit.

In the dozens of cats and dogs we've owned over the decades, we've always kept bowls out for them stocked with food.

What I often hear from friends when they discover this is that they'll try to move from their scheduled feeding to free feeding, realize their animal is engorging itself, and then assert "see? doesn't work" or "nope, {cats,dogs} can't do that."
Most of the people bringing the statues back aimed to sell them.
That doesn't solve the underlying problems of profitability and minimal bottom line impact. A $100M company is unlikely to be profitable for several years, during which time Google has to spend money to get it off the ground and suffer a brain drain from existing profitable products to an unproven subsidiary. Meanwhile, "success" here would still mean < 1% impact to anything shareholders care about... years down the line. It makes more sense to just add some funding to Google Ventures.

Just as much as "a picture is worth a thousand words", I claim a movie can be worth a thousands of pictures. Of course it heavily depends on the research field. I recently worked in fluid dynamics where it is natural to watch movies and publications only have still images, which is always worse. Everybody finds them worse but nevertheless the community sticks to an overtaken way of sharing results.
As noted by other comments here, this is quite a lightweight article. Not that the residents don't have a valid complaint, but the solution is really quite simple.

I have direct experience with something like this myself. My Grandfather homesteaded in Montana in 1911, and the land remains in the family to this day. My Aunt Elsie, who was a force to be reckoned with, had the name of the road changed successfully. So their address had the family name. I noticed that Google did not have the name, so i simply clicked on the button at the bottom that says "send feedback". I noted the post office had that as the name and one other reference. I got mail back months later refusing to change the notation. I sent the request again perhaps a year later, and this time they did change it. It is there today.

While I understand the communities distress, it appears from the story that nobody attempted to contact Google.

And you don't have to be a city official to do so.
What I said (specifically about iOS) is true and has been so since 2015 (or earlier).

See [1] and [2] that I linked in another comment here and check on backups explicitly being denied on iOS. This has nothing to do with Apple, and everything to do with the Signal team not willing to make it user friendly (for this case).

Wow. The quote from Capt Ray Miller is particularly telling:

“I have been told by my company . . . that the FAA and Boeing (were) aware of the problems with the spurious rudder inputs but considered them to be more of a nuisance problem than a flight safety issue. I was informed, that so far as everyone was concerned, the rudder hardovers were a problem but that the `industry' felt the losses would be in the acceptable range. I was being mollified into thinking the incident did not happen, and for the `greater good' it would be best not to pursue the matter. In other words I am expendable as are the passengers I am responsible for, because for liability reasons the FAA, Boeing et al cannot retroactively redesign the rudder mechanisms to improve their reliability."

And this was after the fault had not just caused in-flight emergencies, but had already killed people...

The articles says that since the valve was redisigned, there has been no more accidents.

I don't think the incentive structure is all that different. You're still guaranteeing a certain amount of income to each individual. Where you set that income is probably the bigger deal. If you set it just below a living wage people will still be incentivized to work whether it's a UBI or negative income tax.

More data does not make you a worse data scientist. You can run a bad study at any amount of data. The only difference is a new hypothesis will have historical data to look at. More data not require you create some over fitted model.

More data is strictly better.

> makes the numbers more representative of _active_ VR users rather than just users who _have_ a headset but don't often use it

YMMV. My Vive-equipped PC launches Steam on boot, because that lets it install updates quietly in the background as they come in. Otherwise, the first thing likely to happen when I try to launch something is a long wait for stuff to download.

The Vive on the other hand is only plugged in when I actually use it. It gets hot, and I don't particularly want it to burn electricity for no better purpose than to die a premature death.

So even as an active VR user, my Vive is only visible to Steam for a minor fraction of the time my PC is logged on.
I love that video. The comments are great too, and they're right: cats are much better pets than dogs. When was the last time you heard of a cat attacking and killing someone (especially a child)? It happens with dogs all the time. Dog apologists will always spout some BS about "those dogs weren't raised right", but it just doesn't happen with cats.

Some time in Google Map's infancy, there were a couple of countries who sent off marines or some such to "guard" and "defend" some kind of territory Google had mislabeled (cartographed?) as the other's.

It's Google, it's not an official map or treaty, yet they saber rattled for a couple of days till someone pointed out the silliness of it.
> Instead, Boeing tried to claim that flight 427 crashed because a pilot had a seizure and depressed the rudder. NTSB investigators dismissed this as ridiculous.

> Boeing had no choice but to carry out the changes, but the company never stopped trying to deflect blame. While the investigation was ongoing, it adopted a philosophy of trying to avoid paying out damages to families of crews because this could be legally interpreted as an admission of responsibility. It had tampered with the PCU from the Colorado Springs crash and repeatedly tried to misdirect the investigation with “alternative” theories.

Should not there be some criminal charges?
There's some weird stuff here in the USA though with the CAFE rules, which strangely makes building larger trucks the thing to do if you want to pass.

There's a large number of people who want smaller pickups, for instance (I'm one of them - I used to own a 4-banger Ford Ranger - I loved that truck and I wish I never got rid of it) - but they are impossible to find any more. You can't even find 2-door standard cab short bed pickups. It isn't that the demand isn't there for them (the Ranger was a very popular pickup, even at the very end) - but that something about the CAFE rules makes building smaller pickups bad for the total sold fleet in terms of certain EPA stuff (I don't quite understand it completely, but I've read articles about it).

Interestingly too - the size of pickups was increased; what really seemed to have happened, is they "pushed up the models" - ie, what used to be the F-150 (say 1995 vintage) no longer exists. What we see as the F-150, today, is actually the size (and price) of the F-250 of 1995. The F-250 is now the F-350, and so on (it kinda levels off after the 400 class, simply because those and larger were mainly niche sales to individuals, or commercial sales). I don't know if that is truthly real, but if you compare the sizes of the vehicles and options, it feels like something they did.

My current vehicle is a 2004 Jeep TJ (if I could have bought a post-2000 Scrambler I would have); I like the short wheelbase, mainly, and found that I don't really need all the room of a full-sized pickup like I had before. That said, I do sometimes wish I had the room my old Ranger afforded me. There are times I see something on the "side of the road" that I used to pick up, but now I can't (yeah, I'm one of those guys). Oh well - more junk I don't need, right?

I'd love to see smaller vehicles make a come back, because it might also mean smaller pickups and a return to smaller Jeeps and other 4wd vehicles, too! But until those CAFE rules change, I don't know if we'll ever see that here.

BTW - regarding the CAFE rules - from what I recall, they have something to do with the "area" a vehicle occupies, not it's overall size or weight class; I also think it applies only to pickups/"small trucks" - and there's something that plays into the overall sold "fleet" of the manufacturer. Maybe somebody else here could explain it to me better.
Not really. Aerospace is a very tight-knit oligarchy where the devil you know is entirely too often (historically shown to be) leagues better than the devil you don't. A company ceasing to be a Boeing customer over an issue like this runs the risk that the next company they work with is just as bad in different ways, but now they're ways the company's ground technicians are wholly unfamiliar with.
I had heard of the history of the "rudder hardover" problems with the 737 but have never heard that Boeing was actively subverting the investigation. Assuming it's true, I'd agree that it's appalling behavior, but this post alone doesn't convince me. A lot of complex systems can fail in unlikely ways and it doesn't imply malfeasance that the company was wrong about the cause.

How many times have you investigated a weird, intermittent software or system problem and gone down the wrong path (or paths) because what turned out to be the actual cause seemed so unlikely, even if there were clues that in retrospect you should have given more weight.
This reminded me of the Yak-42 jackscrew failure due to a design defect, which caused a crash killing 132 onboard in 1982 [1]. The entire fleet was grounded for more than two years until the full investigation was completed and the defect was fixed. Three design engineers were convicted.

Im using Syncthing as well, and in my Syncthing dir on my laptop there is currently 52 GB of data.

That includes a synchting-share for my automatic backups and my "dropbox" replacement (a simple directory for syncing between phone, and computers).

It works great. I haven't had any issues with it. The current release of syncthing is very stable. Earlier versios were a bit error prone. But they seem to have fleshed out most, if not all bugs i encountered in earlier versions.
Reminds me of this developer we were interviewing once. He asked if we treat our developers like mushrooms. I asked what he meant by that. He said do you keep them in the dark and feed them sh*t?

He didn't get the job.
I don't understand this. Each of these scandals is a mortal danger to Boeing. One of them might someday finally put it out of business. Whereas if they reacted to each case by being committed to finding the problem whatever it is, they could greatly reduce their liability by reducing the ultimate number of fatalities due to any one problem.
If I could upvote this twice, I would. You've managed to put words on something I've been struggling to articulate.

Your point about using Go's type system (esp. interfaces) rings particularly true. When I finally figured out how to effectively use the type system, I suddenly found myself writing extremely malleable code. You can move data types and functions around quite freely, and this makes it easy to design & refactor without losing your place.

The flip side, as you say, is that extreme flexibility requires you to build your own skeleton.

BTW, are you github.com/thejerf? If so, I've contributed to Suture, and use it quite often, so thanks for that.
You'll be fine and also make a ton of money. Just do a few coding interview questions just in case.
> "Concern"? This is a deal-breaker.

For me it's a concern, not a deal breaker. Whenever another app with end-to-end encryption comes close to Telegram on features, speed and UX, I'll switch to it completely. Currently Wire seems closest, but it still has quite a bit of catching up to do.
If the extreme deflection of the rudder causes serious control problems, then shouldn't the extremes simply be set at lower deflections (using a physical barrier/limiter)?
And.

This is the most well-thought-out response in the thread. My initial knee-jerk is too extreme. Thank you for the sanity check.
