Baltimore is totally routinely unsafe for a great many people who spend time there.

I think it's important to remember that it's actually LEAST safe for the people who have LEAST power. Mostly poor Black people, or people in poor Black neighborhoods. As the article hints at, with people who live in poor Black neighborhoods saying they are amazed that the tourist/professional inner harbor is a "normal" place to walk around, while they're scared to go outside where they live. MOST violence is between people who know each other, often drug trade related. Those with the least social power have the LEAST ability to protect themselves from routine violence.

Which isn't to say it's not also unsafe even for the powerful. It's like the opposite of "trickle down" though. Trickle up. I think sometimes the powerful can forget that however unsafe they feel, most poor people in poor neighborhoods in Baltimore (and most poor neighborhoods are Black neighborhoods) are EVEN LESS SAFE. The powerful can make it an "us and them" thing, they think they need to defend themselves against the poor and Black, who are criminals.

In fact, Baltimore has, for years, been run for the comfort and benefit of people and groups that are already the most powerful. Like probably most cities in the U.S., but Baltimore has it bad. It sometimes seems like the comfort and safety of professional mostly white people is the only thing the city government cares about. (It is a mystery to me why some kind of accountability to the majority population doesn't seem to be necessary for electoral victory by politicians).

That's what got us into this, it's not gonna get us out. You can't abandon most of the city to a post-apocalyptic wasteland and not even think about them, and not have it effect the powerful too. (Of course even if it didn't, it would be morally repellent. But it doesn't work that way, chickens come home to roost). This is why rich people in the third world generally live behind walls with armed guards and don't go out in 'ordinary' neighborhoods -- Baltimore is a warning of how the whole U.S. will be if we keep going in third world directions of distribution of wealth and power between the rich who have it all and the poor who have nothing. Can't we figure out to treat everyone as humans instead?

I don't think technocratic solutions are going to do it, it's not about who has the best "anti-violence program", it's about integrating the disenfranchised into the economy (jobs) and political power structures, so their neighborhoods aren't like places where society has collapsed Mad Max style. There's no way you can live in (OR next to) such a neighborhood and be safe, and there's no way you can recover such a neighborhood with just the application of an occupying police army, the problem is it's ALREADY a war zone, it doesn't need more fighters (who in Baltimore are INCREDIBLY corrupt and untrustworthy too. Seriously Mad Max over here).
The claim that Amazon says they work with Elastic for their service is bogus. I've asked many times, and its been made clear to me that they have some additional services they run, but aside from those run upstream Elasticsearch. (Same with Kubernetes).

Elastic's licensing is very hard to navigate, and the per node nature of it often makes it more cost prohibitive than Splunk.

Hopefully this is a wakeup call to Elastic to start delivering value that can't simply be added by third party contributions. If thats the case, what purpose is Elastic (corporation) actually fulfilling?
Don't those publications still have the problem that people (e.g. here on HN, where it's the only thing visible) just see a "medium.com" domain, and not an identity that can stand out? Or are those publications getting exceptions from the "we don't do custom domains anymore" crap medium pulled a while ago?

The domain you publish on is a strong signal. Not having your own both means your beholden to the platform your on (i.e. it'd be a lot more painful for Hackernoon to move somewhere else if they'd kill all their links etc in the process), and that you share the reputation with everyone else on that domain - which for medium.com is between mixed and fairly bad by now.
If you've never been there, it is an amazing building: the architecture wouldn't be out of place in a palace or something.

But the products exist because people buy them as cheaper substitutes, reducing dairy demand.

Milk drinkers will just drink less when the price is higher (sometimes voluntarily, sometimes involuntarily).
The only thing approaching an answer to the question you were asked was zerohedges Syria spin. Care to expand on that? My belief is that mainstream us new sources, including the most august, have been guilty of Iraq-level pro-war journalistic mispractice, absolutly hysterical xenophobic jingoism in some cases, in their quest to advance the geopolitical aims of the saudi-israeli-turkey-quatar-us-british-etc coalition. It's not pretty at all. I welcome zh's anti-war activism in principle at least.
> Any resource to validate this claim.

Most IF studies do not show any metabolic difference, and the ones that do do not control for calories. I'm sorry to shift the burden of proof, but I feel like CICO is the default position and additional nuance requires proof, not the opposite. Also I am lazy.

> Again any claim to this ? Most reference i see have this causation relationship reversed....

Yeah totally, so the claim is not that insulin does not cause damage, it is that where we have recorded that damage is directly to cells in labs, but we have not translated this to epidemiological studies. This is sort of like the Schroedinger's Cat of nutrition: we see these effects in the lab at micro scale, but we don't actually see them translate to real world effects when we look for them at the macro scale. One explanation is that with the same way we see insulin causing damage, we see caloric deficit causing repairs. Maybe these cancel each other out when calories are controlled for? I don't have an explanation, but the key is that we don't observe this stuff on the macro level.
Yes, in the old days you might have been lucky enough to be post-dialup, but being AROUND meant you were actually interested in being somewhere, rather than being nowhere online and instead only brushing up against that.
I'd talk to the manager, try to get them to say that this person is the root cause. If that doesn't work, go to your managers manager.

If that is not ok, then the company has a hierarchy problem. Information needs to flow vertically, managers need a check from both sides on their (in)actions.

Otherwise, get out of Dodge, like I did.
Some context:

2. I don't know how to quickly separate out 737-MAX reports from the non 737-MAX reports, as the ASRS database doesn't include 737-MAX as an airplane type! From scanning, I can say that there are more than five MAX related reports, though.

I don't know why this is downvoted; it's just saying what everyone repeats every time this issue comes up.

With that said, I think it's wrong. There is significant competition on the way to making a working SDC. And Uber will not be alone in producing one. If and when that happens, yes, they can pay a lot less for their inputs. But the output -- the value of the ride -- will also fall in value, since their competitors don't deal with that cost either! It doesn't translate into superprofits.

At the most optimistic, Uber might arrive at a street-ready SDC two years before anyone else. Two years of above-normal profits, equal to keeping the revenue they'd pay human drivers, it just not enough to pay back the costs of the program and extreme returns investors demand.

IMHO, it would make much more sense for Uber to just license the SDC tech as it becomes available, playing the vendors off each other, and focus on making their piece of the product -- the app/customer experience -- better.
It's curious the difference in response to the current "opioid epidemic". Where is the police crackdown in this case?

Or they might just not collect any data from EU users.
There are a couple mentions of Canada's dairy supply management system, which the U.S. recently pushed hard for the elimination of in the recent NAFTA 2.0 talks. (Note: Concessions were made, but dairy supply management was not eliminated.)

In Canada's system, farmers must buy production quota allotments from the government in order to sell their products. The number of quota allotments sold is calculated depending on demand in each province. Hence, supply does not exceed demand and dairy prices in Canada are several times what they are in the U.S.. We pay a lot more for milk, cheese, etc. than people in the U.S.. The import duties on U.S. dairy are over 300%, and American products are still able to sell at lower prices most of the time. This policy has not been particularly popular with average Canadians, for obvious reasons.

Despite this, Canada has the same problems with many, smaller farms giving way to fewer huge farms, but not to the same extent as the U.S.. Small dairy farms are not wildly profitable, but they can survive.

Meanwhile, the U.S. system has led to such massive overproduction that U.S. farms are flooding Mexico with subsidized dairy and are doing their best to do the same in Canada. Canadians generally view U.S. dairy as being of suspect quality due to laxer laws on the use of growth hormones such as rBST, but shoppers will still frequently just buy whatever's cheapest.

U.S. dairy producers looking for endless market growth are running into a brick-wall of domestic market saturation and resistance from foreign countries who know lowering trade barriers could mean the annihilation of local production and replacement of quality products with ones of questionable quality. Big dairy in the U.S. is rapidly becoming an international problem.

> It’s obviously not true that for any given set of calories consumed the body has only one option of what to do with them. It can build muscle, store fat, repair heart walls, excrete it, and so forth.

Yep, I would not suggest anyone take up a diet of pure sugar, only that if you are trying to use science to set your diet we aren't really confident, at the level of macros, about what makes a difference, but we are very confident about excess calories.
The key here is that hacker noon publishes exclusively on hackernoon.com, and the majority of our contributors have agreed to continuing doing so.
Yeah, it's pretty common. The network admins don't necessarily have security training, so they might not understand the reasoning behind the recommendations from the security team. Ideally they'll work together, but most of the time our recommendations get ignored or implemented incorrectly. For example, after one test I performed on a Fortune 500 company, we recommended that they have separate VLANs for different parts of the company; employee workstations could connect to management interfaces on network hardware. The networking people just created separate subnets and called it good, even though every subnet could still talk to every other subnet.
What's the reason it's not made this way or doesn't include WebRTC-based P2P transfer as an option?
"too cheap to meter" was originally said about fission power.
Agreed.

I would guess that if a majority of MPs voted against a hard Brexit, that would imply their for an extension. If that were taken off the table it would be logical (ha!) to conclude that they would support an article 50 reset. Of course the rest of the EU also know all this, so they don't really gain much from pushing the UK to that option.

This can’t be true, right? A ton of major applications (Google’s for starters like GMail) have some layer of post processing or obfuscation (or maybe it’s just compiled) to their generated DOM that results in a ton of nested divs with gobbledygook classes.

It could have also been fixed. Last I tried was around a year ago.
You don't have to argue why you don't trust me, when I'm arguing that I'm not responsible for negative impacts in the case that you do not trust me.
You don't need any higher math to understand this so I don't know why they don't show kids that (pointing this out did not make me popular in 3rd grade science class).

I used to wonder about the distances if the planetary orbits were not in a plane (which also always seemed weird to me as a kid) and even though I utterly lacked the math to figure it out it was easy to develop an "in principle" qualitative understanding.

School seems to be oriented backwards.
For the record it wasn't always this way, the last couple of years though they have made a lot of improvements on this front. I think it may have something to do with Google's "next billion of devices" being in countries with bad connectivity.

With that said I especially like the Google Maps offline features which have been added recently. You can even have it calculate driving directions completely offline if you have the starting and ending addresses.
> People voted based on russian-funded lies ...

Well I voted Leave because this is likely to be the last chance for the UK to get out of ever-tighter European political integration. About which we were never consulted before engaging.

In the 1980s I backpacked around Europe and met many wonderful people. But not once did I think that "what we need is an additional layer of federal government to bind us all into one destiny". They were countries of Europe, but beyond trade every country got on with its own affairs. And things seemed to be OK.

The Common Market was a good idea, but things took a more sinister turn in 1992 with the Maastricht Treaty. Who was driving that? Not the common people of Europe as far as I could tell.

To me, Brexit was an opportunity for asking myself: why does the EU exist, why did it supercede the EEC and what is the end-goal? I didn't like any of the answers.
Reduce welfare and eliminate all payroll taxes and reduce income taxes with the savings. This will lower the marginal value of labour and encourage more hiring.

Humans are rational creatures and will decide to work. Right now the pendulum swings too far towards welfare reliance in many areas.
It turns out that unless you are an uber-agri-corp, you're better off serving the niche local and regional markets. Yes you may have smaller yield, but why on Earth should you be incentivized by yield and not profit? Profit is the purpose, yield is the means to acheive that for big companies, small companies can focus on quality, flavor, nutrition, health in order to profit. Leave yield to the supply chain managers, let the farmers grow actual food I feel good about eating. No more bright red flavorless strawberries.
What I don't understand is why people think Uber will have a competitive advantage vs Waymo et al. once self-driving cars are adopted.

Without a moat, there will be little to no long-term profits.
Lely the Dutch milling robots turned 25 years old recently. The cows come to the robots to be milked by themselves. A thing of beauty.

Of course..this requires capital..American dairy farmers ..largely due to subsidies ..barely make ends meet. And rely on undocumented labour.
Check the other two screenshots.

The reason for the email was the bandwidth I was using. Since I could only spend up to $500/month, I asked if they had any plan inside my budget. I was open to have less features, less POPs or POPs only in cheaper places (eg: US or EU). If not, and since I couldn't afford the $3000 plan, I would have to leave the service and move everything to a new server (I was using a VPS, was in a place with bad internet, and asked for a few days to migrate everything).

The 3rd screenshot shows their reply to this:

> At the moment we offer the plans that are listed on our website and the Business Plus plan, which I cannot offer for less than $1500. If this is not an option for you please let me know when you have moved your traffic to a new server.

English is not my native language, so I might be missing something here. I understood it as "it's either the $1500 plan or leave the service".

As I said, traffic costs money and I don't really expect unlimited bandwidth. I'm also aware that it using something like Cloudfront would cost more than $1500.

I only replied to jgrahamc because he asked for the example and because it's not first time that I see CF people saying bandwidth is not a reason to force an upgrade. Since Matthew (CEO) and and jgrahamc (CTO) keep saying that bandwidth is not an issue, I assume that they don't know about these emails.
There are at least three inter-related issues here: 1) Was MCAS an issue in the Ethiopian Airlines crash? 2) Did Boeing err, prior to the Lion Air crash, in not informing pilots of the existence of MCAS, and the way it changes how a failure is experienced by the flight crew? 3) Does MCAS pose a risk that cannot be adequately addressed through appropriate awareness and training?

IIRC, after the existence of MCAS was disclosed, the US pilots' unions were divided over this issue, with the union representing Southwest pilots castigating Boeing for its nondisclosure, while that representing United pilots did not consider it to be a big issue. Unfortunately, this article does not make it clear where pilots stand on issue 3, and the investigation of the Ethiopian Airlines crash might reveal additional issues.

The forthcoming software upgrade for MCAS certainly implies that there were improvements to be made.
Sure, we don't want any single entity--including ourselves--to monopolize the foundations of the Web. To allow that would diminish the Web's power as a democratized public resource.

But let's not kid ourselves: Mozilla hasn't been able to unilaterally kill things for years. We finally caved on H.264 in 2014, acceding to a patent-encumbered Web: https://andreasgal.com/2014/10/14/openh264-now-in-firefox/ The following year, we reluctantly added DRM to Firefox: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2015/05/12/update-on-digital-r....

Google was the only vendor that supported NaCl or the Filesystem APIs, and WebSQL similarly failed to gain traction outside of WebKit and Presto. If we were wrong in our assessments of those proposals, we weren't alone. And that's what killed them.

I spent a decent part of last year testing various CDNs and this is not what I found. Cloudflare, Verizon were both better (performance, cache retention) than Akamai based on my testing. And cheaper, not even considering the cost of features that you'd have to buy from Akamai to make it a feature-equal comparison.

About a year ago there was a major transformer that blew in downtown SF, knocking most of the fidi offline. I didn't think much of it -- stuff breaks, and this was pre-PG&E fiasco -- but then I heard the same thing happened in NYC and another major city (maybe Seattle?) that same morning. Things break regularly, and there's always some 3-city combined probability function, but it still made me glance over my metaphorical shoulder.

Ideally we'll still be too scared to use nukes in the next hot war. Everything else that makes modern life bearable is fair game, though.

[edit]: LA was the third city, and all failures were traced to physical faults/aging infrastructure: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/power-outages-la-sf-nyc Like I said, there always is a combined probability function, but point is we're gonna be doing a lot more glancing over our metaphorical shoulders the more we see stories like this.

Feedlots mostly use corn, not soy.

And again, my issue is with the agriculture policy that demands scale up agriculture. The government created these problems in search of low prices and other political goals.

The dairy farm that i worked on as a kid had about 50 cows and didn’t have the impact that massive operations have, and grew a lot of its own fodder. Again it’s a stark difference... probably 100 dairy operations in my county when I was a kid, and I’d guest 12-20 now, most of whom are probably going to be gone in the next year.
facebook is in the uncanny valley of achieving its goal of universally connecting people but disconnecting people even more because it was so close to universally connecting people.

There is a proposal for heroin buyers clubs in British Columbia that has a lot of support: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/heroin-buyer...

Legalization not only cuts down crime (from both drug dealers and drug addicts), it prevents overdose deaths and reduces occurrences of medical emergencies and hospitalizations. The city can also collect taxes on the drugs.
