On Self-Respect: Joan Didion’s 1961 Essay from the Pages of Vogue
There are a number of situations where the checklist calls for reinsertion of the flightplan during flight, they would be lost in those situations.
They even include the phrase "Practically speaking, there’s almost no chance of the certificates being maliciously exploited.", but continue to talk about the mistake as catastrophic. Very irresponsible.
You could use the XCode linker to embed your JS/WASM code in the binary as a read-only resource/section, and then run it using JIT-less V8. Interpreted code is generally more compact than a native ISA like ARM64, so this could be useful in order to reduce app size.
> I like Stross' nonfiction work and wasn't aware that he wrote sci-fi

I'm the reverse: I only know his sci-fi, and wasn't aware he wrote nonfiction. What would you recommend?
Reducing the search space from 63bits to 62bits is of no consequence because if an attack on 62bits was feasible, it would mean the same attack would work 50% of the time on 63bit (or take twice as long for 100%). That wouldn't be acceptable at all.
The way I see it, post-modernism has enabled the outrage machine in the first place, by dissolving the borders between fact and fiction and dismissing context in any form. When everything is interpretable in any possible framework truth, reason and nuance become just another straw in the haystack and not something individuals should strife for.

You suggest we don't have true post-modernism, because it is not critical enough of the own operating moral framework. I counter that with: post-modernism is essentially only 'tried and tested' anti-modernism, but it doesn't come along as religious outrage like in the old times, but dressed in the form of moral outrage machines, that can be triggered by any form of non-conformist behaviour in any possible framework -- the frameworks have become interchangable, the operational mechanisms work like they always have.
Microsoft used to be roundly criticized for supposedly building private APIs into Windows that Microsoft Office was allowed to use either because they were undocumented, or Office got the documentation far ahead of anyone else.

I'd say if you're selling $1200 computer devices, one principle of that is ownership and that you get to run what you want, not what Apple wants. We seem to have come a long way on this site from fighting Tivoization of embedded platforms, and unrepairable, unfixable, unhackable consumer electronics, to people making excuses for a super locked down platform, and not even on the excuse that it helps security, but from a philosophical standpoint that somehow Apple is morally right to do whatever they want.

Yes, you have a choice of not buying Apple software, just like you had the choice of not buying Windows and using Linux, or building a MythTV instead of a Tivo, but keep in mind, in the latter case, this was only possible because the CableCard standard was forced by law on the cable industry.

Apple can maintain their high levels of security and privacy without their 30% cut of subscriptions, it's a false dichotomy to pretend their behavior is anything but rent seeking.
It's probably easier than learning how to drive, it's just that nobody does learn it. We have a huge problem with people not actually learning to use technology. Almost everyone you meet can barely type properly.
Bur Firefox is a browser. Why would you associate this with Firefox instead of making it a Mozilla service? It only leads to the Firefox brand deteriorating even more quickly.
That's an important point (if true), because an original goal of IPFS was to allow removal of illegal content to comply with (local?) laws. So if complying with that IPFS goal means the whole repo gets shut down, that seems intensely abusable.
email and irc are both federated services and users depend on their server software or server admin to make sure weird content does reach them. In an actually decentralised system you must expect the client or protocol to deal with this.
How does the plane's safety record compare against that of motorcycles or sub-compact cars? Should we ban them as well, until they can attain safety parity?

My girlfriend has two intercontinental flights coming up in the next month. Flights that are very important to her life goals and fulfillment. I would hate to see a wrench thrown into those plans, because of a risk that she already takes on every weekend when she goes on a long drive.

More importantly, there are so many more pressing issues that we as a society need to be dealing with. Issues like fatalities caused by automobile accidents, inadequate healthcare coverage, medical errors and poor diet. Issues that are being starved of the attention they deserve because of our fixation on sensational deaths, as opposed to the banal but common ones https://outlookzen.com/2015/02/15/all-lives-matter/
>ignores some serious ramifications.

The ramification being that some people my choose to understand the world differently from you. The answer to that worry is to make compelling points in your favour, or maybe try to understand the other side of the argument. Freedom comes at the expense of security, and security in this instance is overstepping its boundaries.
From a layman perspective: Why can Siri make Apple Music play artists, albums, playlists, and songs but I can't ask Siri to do the same with Spotify?

Clearly the technology is there, but Apple is not letting Spotify use it.

How is that different from the complaints people make about Chrome tightly integrating with Google?
The website is a work of art, really digging the details!
Let’s say there was a database you were setting up and it only accepted Chinese keys. You have the keys in you head type the into a language to Chinese translator and you use that. You likely aren’t going to check for correctness, whether it’s polite, slang, or jargon. You just use whatever came up. That’s the “mistranslation”.
I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but if you are running a web server you have to try to not collect data on people who hit it. My personal website )if it were up, oops) is not GDPR-compliant, and it is completely hosted on my own server using nothing but static HTML with a bit of Bootstrap JavaScript. I have no ads. I have no referral links. I have no analytics. I don't even have comments on the articles I post.

If I were running this site as a business I would need to evaluate how much it would cost to bring, and keep, the site into compliance versus how much revenue I derive from European visitors. Don't give me the "it's simple if you aren't tracking people" line, either. It's not simple, and I'm not going to trust the health of a business to the interpretations of random Internet posters or the benevolence of regulars on the other side of an ocean.

Deployment of a new version would depend upon your setup. Assuming a setup similar to the author, you can have a new Docker images with the new version of your code and run it in parallel. All you have to do after that is point the traffic from the old version to the new version (By just running `docker compose`).

If you have a more complex setup, e.g. if by using Kubernetes, you can do things like run both the version at the same time, person A/B testing or have canary deployments to ensure the new version works .

Time for deployment would be most likely in seconds unless the setup is complex/convoluted.

Schema modifications are another beast. For small use cases, you could run a specialized one time container that performs the modifications, but once you need high availability, you'd have to consider a more complex approach. See https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3300018

In novels about the near future there is often a theme of a religious right that takes over society and limits everything people can say and do ("We are Legion (We are Bob)", "The Handmaid's Tale"). Yet in today's modern world, it is the far left that are silencing opposition and redefining language in very Orwellian ways.
Not all airports have these.

Also if you're an inexperienced flyer and have a tight connection, you may not have the time to find one in an unfamiliar airport but a bar or restaurant is almost always in sight.
If cars are considered defective they are recalled. Happens often. Your comment is shockingly tone deaf.
Because their pilots had previously told them they didn't feel comfortable? (See report)

At some point this falls back on nannyism. Either you have a functional company, where your employees are empowered to communicate internally, and your company does something about it... or you don't.

Boeing's job is to engineer the billion things required to keep an airplane flying. The government's job is to validate Boeing performed due diligence and mandate what training is required to the carriers. The carriers have a job too.

I wouldn't be surprised if Boeing pushed hard to have it same type certified. Why wouldn't they? Ultimately, regulatory agencies agreed. Maybe that was correct, maybe not.

But absolving the pilots' direct parent company of responsibility is bullshit. Aerospace is a different industry, but it's not that different vis what a healthy, functioning company does.

I originally used subl, then switched for vscode for 3 years or so, and have now switched back to subl.
I switched back to subl mainly because I downgraded my system from 16GB RAM to 8GB (switched from 2017 mbp to a 2015 carbon X1) and vscode had too large a memory footprint to use.

subl is notably faster, its also a very well rounded editor with a tiny memory footprint...

But I also have the issue that the plugin support is abysmal, that sane defaults are non-existent and it takes a long time to get things to work well with a very popular web techstack like React, Styled Components, eslint.
Even now there are times when the syntax highlighting is wrong.

It would do subl a great service if they improved the package management and created a number of officially supported packages for popular techstacks that allow people to simply (ideally) 1 click configure the editor.

I shouldn't have to read a 15 minute Medium tutorial on how to configure eslint, IMO that is ridiculous.
No. You need a CA certificate that is authorized to sign email certificates to sign the email certificate that signs emails. The domain certificate is merely authorized for the SSL connection itself, and the CA that signs it likely doesn't have trust bits for email either.
But not 5)? I think if you watch youtube in FF Nightly with uBlock installed you should not see any ads?

It's something only Firefox has. And it should absolutely be in its core. Preferably without requiring a custom CSS file to hide the old tab bar.
> Rephrased, Spotify seems to think it has a /right/ to run its software on Apple platforms in an identical fashion to Apple's first-party software. Does that mean Apple has an obligation to provide an equivalent technical capacity for literally any software that runs on its devices?

Yes.

> An app store? A payment provider? A cloud provider? A health data store? An update mechanism?

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes.

To do otherwise, is to invite platform owners to be (potentially abusive) monopolists with a license to favor their own services instead of promoting and maintaining fair competition in markets on top of that platform. In western societies, since the last century, that has been behavior which has been regulated by law and courts.
Fantastic explanations & kudos for boiling this down to the bare essentials!
I think the true answer is that we need to apply nuance and context to things instead of emotional knee-jerking. At the same time we should judge for past in both positive and negative ways.

If they supported apartheid for fear of communism then you certainly are right to question their moral and practical judgment (even accepting the fear the action is counterproductively shoving the oppressed to the arms of the enemy). If they made racist jokes but moved on and supported civil rights for all let it lie.

It brought to mind one thing from a parent referring to someone as being a radical liberal for supporting gay marriage in the 1980s. Now their view is throughly vindicated - visionary not radical is the appropriate term.
This is not scientific research, it's chronic fatigue researchers getting hate mail.
Also, it's not activists, it's random crackpots.

Edit: look, read the article, and then downvote me if you must. I am sure that online activists in many areas are reducing public discussion. I'm not addressing the subject in general; just this article. Specifically, the article talks about a very particular narrow, topic (chronic fatigue syndrome and research indicating that it's psychosomatic) and doesn't talk much beyond one actual activist in that area, Tuller. The title would have been better as, "CFR activist harasses CFR researchers".

Edit: could hardly get downvoted more than I have been already, but the irony that "activists" are silencing people is rich. Maybe anti-activist activists are activists, too.
Just curious, are you trying to stay super close to your job or is moving to Anne Arundel or Howard county an option for you?
It's interesting that someone who wrote a tool called "Encryption for the masses" also happened to be involved in illegal crimes.

I don't mean "people who care about privacy etc. are criminals". But I can imagine a moral-panic of "but criminals write such software", and it doesn't undermine the value of using such software.
I'm skeptical of the claim of improved security. Theoretically, if there were some horrible bugs in the JIT, one could craft malicious input data causing the JIT to insert arbitrary code in the code heap. In practice, it doesn't seem possible. At least HotSpot has been JIT:ing code for decades and no one has been able to find such an exploit.
It's also very bad on the "There's an app for that" image.

The other parts of the page are very nice though. The font contrast is fine and the font has a nice weight to it. When they want us to read something they actually still know how to make a proper webpage. And it works fine without JS.
Your right, it is worse than that, it's a consortium of governments, NATO and corporate interests that so generously donate to the Council;

>The Atlantic Council’s president and CEO sent a seven-page letter to Hagel Friday that included a list of foreign corporations, governments and government entities that fund the organization. The list includes roughly 100 corporations and 15 foreign governments, as well as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The amount of funding from each entity is not listed.

It's not a feature. Once the archive has been created for the first time, you should be able to connect to it immediately once it says "Available", not an hour after you created it and it went to status "Available".
This is a very new plane, and most deliveries so far have been in the US or China. In particular, it's easy for EASA to ground it; there are only a handful operating in Europe anyway. Impact of the China grounding would be larger, tho.
If I may ask, what specific VSCode features are you referring to?

I'm eager to know because I'm working on an editor for Chrome OS (based on the Monaco editor from VSCode) and would love to know whether they are part of Monaco or extras that only ship with VSCode.

If anyone's interested, here's the (very recent) announcement post: https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/comments/ax8pi3/archetype_...
I've often wondered about this too. IRC was amazing and then it stagnated. Perhaps not ambitious enough governance / leadership over the project? Lack of (financial) incentives?

I don't really know the structure/contributors of the project except for the beginning (not when it stagnated later on), but perhaps if Jarkko Oikarinen had been as driven as Linus Torvalds, we would live in a different reality when it comes to instant messaging
This is sad. Unfortunately we have some people who put their beliefs and politics above science and will actively act against investigation only because a line of inquiry could result in evidence against their view.

It comes from both the left and right depending on the topic. It’s not simply dissent it also is about pressuring institutions to not fund certain areas of investigation which is a very detrimental consequence.

I sure hope we grow out of this phase, or another society like China or Japan avoid this fate so studies can go on without interference [obviously they’ll have their own blinders but we can at least be complementary]
Because they can and want to. Why are you on HN?
It isn't a problem in itself. It doesn't make the certificate any less secure in practice, even if we still used md5 as a hash.

The problem however as pointed out down-page [0] [1]

> If you can't obey this silly requirement to use extra bits how can we trust you to do all the other things that we need done correctly? Or internally, if you can't make sure you obey this silly rule, how are you making sure you obey these important rules?

> The reason for the urgent fixes is to promote uniformly applied rules. There are certain predefined rules that CAs need to follow, regardless of whether the individual rules help security or not. The rules say the certs that are badly formed need to be reissued in 5 days.
> If these rules are not followed and no penalties are applied, then later on when other CAs make more serious mistakes they'll point to this and say "Apple and Google got to disobey the rules, so we should as well, otherwise it's favoritism to Apple and Google."

Shame serves an important social function. It is how society enforces norms without having to create a punitive consequence for every bit of undesirable behavior. It's not just about you--by shaming you for something you did in the past, society reinforces what behaviors are undesirable and encourages people to feel shame for engaging in those same behaviors in the present.

Shaming people for things they did in the past is particularly important for reinforcing changes in norms. There are a lot of behaviors that were accepted 30 years ago that are not okay now. We shame people for engaging in that conduct not because it makes sense to hold people to behavioral norms that didn't exist at the time they engaged in the conduct, but to reinforce those norms in the present.
To make things more confusing, 2.5D these days is also often used to describe (actually) 3D-rendered sidescrollers, like the New Super Mario Bros. games.
I agree with this for the most part - it is just that time has shown that that POV has changed (such as allowing native apps and the app store ecosystem for one). I just don't think that carrying on a grudge against a product that is hugely popular with users (but of course is not without its own downsides) based on a point of view that was held nearly 10 years ago is a particularly sensible way to go about things.

For the most part I'd definitely agree, Apple has done some great things that went away from the established norms - but in this case, given that the song I listen to on Spotify will sound identical to listening to it on Apple music, the whole thing does stink of Apple giving itself the upper hand.
This is effectively what Czech STEM universities do. The supply is way bigger than the demand and as such getting even to the "top" study program is trivial.

Not sure it's very effective seeing the 60%+ failure rates in the first year. These people could spend that year doing something they are more suitable for.
I’ve been waiting to see Spotify follow Netflix and create their own label, instead of just curated playlists. They’ll otherwise always be at the whim of renegotiations. (Not entirely relevant to the post, but seems like it’s an avenue for them to go to break a little from other players).
It gets interesting when the tracks are elliptical, but I assume that is what you mean with "~circular" and "ring".
Would love to know if anyone is actively using this, especially with some kind of G Suite integration?
I wonder if the applicants bumped by the bribed admissions would be able to bring legal action against all parties in this case? The amount of income lost by rejection to a prestigious school would seem to be a large number.

How would this be possible to fix? I currently don't see any possibility of this.
Quick question, and this is meant sincerely and not flippantly: have you worked as an aviation or avionics engineer?

The focus on error conditions is truly impressive during the development of these systems. I’ve spent plenty of hours writing requirements, and writing and running tests, for cockpit software, and the sheer variety of error conditions tested is very high. Not that they’ll catch everything, but the idea that a single AOA sensor could cause the MCAS to fail seems like something that would have been analyzed and discussed by the engineers working on this.

Both. And with fix being so easy and self-contained, it shouldn't even trigger any discussion. You just fix it and are done with it.

If fixing it meant more work, like redesigning all of the artwork, then you can ask the other side to be tolerant and understanding. In this case, there was no need to.
