Profit is a function of competition. If Apple had competitors, it would not be able to charge as much as it did for its computers.

You argue that Apple does have competition, and that's nominally true if you are very coarse and sloppy with your comparisons, but due to marketing and their walled garden, they are basically a monopoly over the upper / more artistic portions of the market:

Maybe, but in the specific case of an Norwegian airline, it seems less likely there would be a 'mismatch' of interests, with the rest of Europe, compared with the US.

And I thought Europe were lifting their Iran sanctions? They're trying to get a non USD payment system sorted so they can continue trade after the US pulled out of a deal.

I'm on linux, and thus a custom stack, from tracking to UI. With three.js providing only bare rendering. It's not a path I'd recommend.

Most current VR/AR exploration uses Unity (Windows) on vendor platforms (SteamVR (Windows), ARKit, etc) and Vive/Rift/WMR/phone hardware.

Three.js is focused on WebVR. WebVR has been Windows-only. And very not transparent about status (very "aspirational" reporting). I fuzzily recall some year-ago VR work in a three.js dev branch. You might also look at A-Frame[1] and AR.js[2]. But this is not an area I keep track of.

The three.js WebVR folks do aspire to "automatically". Historically, it very very hasn't been. Add more "very"s.

Now, big picture, I'd be unsurprised by the transition to AR/VR being shockingly rapid. And unexpectedly soon. So there might now be some path that "just works". And it could be worth starting to track, so if there's a new niche you might like, you're aware of it.

But historically... VR, noun: A field covered in hirsute yaks. And the trampled bodies of people's years, expended shaving them in hope of wonderful fruit, while it was still unripe.

And what’s worse - many of them younger folk at work and otherwise don’t know any better. They were born after Windows 95 came out and by the time they were old enough to use the web, it was already ‘myspacified’ and on its way to where we are now. So really, in 5-10 more years, most people actually working on new internet tech won’t have experienced the excitement and thrill of ‘young’ and ‘uncorrupt’ web.

I put my faith in the young though. Something new will eventually come out. Which hopefully is more fulfilling than current status quo.

It does not seem too surprising to me. Sensors fail all the time on planes. The AOA sensor seems like a particularly good candidate for failure given the design.

I think most people don't realize just how much stuff can be broken on an airliner and it still deemed safe to fly. And it happens all the time.

I urge people to read the discussion by pilots regarding the 737 MAX.

https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/safety/120514-ethiopian-7...

It all comes down to this:

"There are far too many aerodynamic bandaids that are permitted to pass the current standards. Not just this particular airplane, but a whole bunch of airframes. If the basic aerodynamics won't pass without the pushers, pullers and now AOA induced changes to primary and secondary controls then a new design of the wing platform should come into play."

The way I interpret this, is that the plane should never have gotten the green light to fly.

That article primarily comes down to this:

> WHY CAN'T I USE TLS/SSL TO DELIVER THE JAVASCRIPT CRYPTO CODE?
You can. It's harder than it sounds, but you can safely transmit Javascript crypto to a browser using SSL. The problem is, having established a secure channel with SSL, you no longer need Javascript cryptography; you have "real" cryptography.

In our case we aren't doing crypto inception where the cryptography is meant to secure itself. The crypto is being served securely (by ssl) and then used to solve the separate unrelated crypto problem of encrypting random files.
Article author here,

I probably should have been clearer in the article. I was trying to strike a balance between:

- presenting what I believe to be a compelling and exciting possible future for the web (especially considering it has a viable polyfill story)
- getting developers excited about this future and thinking about how it could integrate with existing tooling

and:

- Asking for feedback on the KV Storage and Import Maps APIs themselves.
- Encouraging developer to experiment and/or sign up for the origin trial

It's not an easy balance to strike, and in this case I probably should have emphasized more that this is still in the experimentation phase.

I can update the article to make that more clear.

Thanks. That makes me feel way better about this proposal.

Intent to experiment is exactly where I would want a feature at this point in development to be -- gives normal people the ability to build things with it and figure out any pain points, but forces them not to use it in a production site quite yet.
Instead of having thousands of families eking out a modest but sustainable life, you have a handful of corporate entities and their shareholders making millions. Simple unfettered capitalism at work again (and I believe in the power of capitalism, but not without some boundaries).

I do not have strong feelings about milk, other than not wanting to drink it and using it only sparingly as an ingredient. However the mention of this protest by dairy farmers was striking to me:

One of the bad times I can remember was in the mid-to-late 90s - I was in elementary school - when milk prices were so low that some farmers were dumping their milk down the drain in protest.

At some point in the past I read about EU farmers doing the same thing, spraying large volumes of milk in protest. This seems pretty ineffective to me as a means of swaying public opinion. If I were someone who actually buys milk, I think my feelings towards the industry doing this would not be to wish them well.

I'm not so concerned about "success" on the world's terms. What I'm concerned about is the long periods of procrastination, being stressed about outstanding commitments (school? work?), feeling overwhelmed even though I know what I need to do next...

You're doing yourself a disservice by mentioning Damore at all.

His manifesto may have had some points, but was also rife with utter bullshit, false equivalence, value judgements, and personal biases.

Damore has also since proven himself to be an utter chode in his unwavering insistence that he is 100% right.

I mentioned the non-public price information to indicate that it's to lend a helping hand for those also wishing to commit tax fraud and deducting the "donations". If there was a public price, then they would lose that.

RHEL isn't worth the time as it is broken by design. It only includes the minimum packages for the OS relying on 3rd party repos for everything else and those 3rd party repos are generally terrible.

The comment was killed by a software filter that is based on past activity by trolls and applies to brand new accounts. It has since been unkilled by users vouching for it, which is the intended use of vouching.

In the future, can you please not post comments like this? They always attract attention because meta is the crack of internet forums, but they take discussion off topic, and the discussion they do lead to is usually just a sugar high rather than interesting. Here are two better things to do in such cases:

(1) vouch for the comment (click on its timestamp to go its page, then click 'vouch' at the top—this requires karma > 30);

(2) email us. Then we can unkill the comment and mark the account legit so it won't happen again.
I switched away from Gmail to Protonmail. Docs I replaced with LibreOffice + git and Latex for Letters. That's so much more convenient because it works offline and I have far more import and export options. Where I can use Latex, I can use anything as a template and it's diffable. Oh and I use Perkeep as well, that's probably the actual replacement for Drive. Search I replaced with DDG. Also I'm using Apple CalendarServer which integrates with anything, so even when I switch phone OS, my appointments remain. I came to appreciate how great the support for iCal and ics files is.

With the exception of my underpowered Laptop - which I'm going to replace soon - I prefer to use Firefox.

The only thing left apart from that is my Phone where I have OxygenOS with the Play Store but as soon as LineageOS is supported, I'll switch over.

Admittedly the process took a long time but so did the switch to the Google Platform - or any other platform switch I did in the past like switching from Windows to Linux or from Linux to macOS.

I'm really happy that my new tools also integrate far better with many native tools.

Would you have any reading you could suggest on this? A lot of my thinking is informed by postmodernism (mostly from that essay by Larry Wall, the original author of Perl), but I realize it's such a broad term that there may be a lot of other ideas (especially ones I disagree with, like the blank-state hypothesis) tucked in there as well.
The 777 is the second-safest aircraft in the world, next to the Airbus A340. The 787 is on track to demonstrate a similar safety record (in terms of fatal incidents).

So overall, they seem to be quite good.
> "the plane is safe to fly with additional training, when given"

If that is ultimately the conclusion, then it still gives the FAA and EASA a black eye, since they allowed the aircraft update without additional training for MCAS.

Best case scenario for Boeing is that the Ethiopian Airlines crash turns out to be something else. If it is MCAS related Boeing, the FAA, and EASA amongst others that green-lit the update without training have a lot to answer for.
A 6.6 kW L2 charger should put about 20 miles per hour of charging, so for 3 hours that's 60 miles. I do believe the 2012 Leaf gets maybe 40 in total, since battery degrade and older Leafs actually tell you how much your battery has degraded.

With that exact example of $3/hr, yes it's more expensive to use p2p charging than driving your Camaro. There are hosts that offer cheaper or free charging. The $3/hr is an example based on public charging rate in the Bay Area. Another case is if the host happen to be in a highly visited location and charge $10/hr for charging and parking.

EVs are still overall a bit more expensive than gas cars. That's why there are still subsidies. In the bigger picture, it's still paramount we switch to a cleaner and more sustainable energy source, and electrifying transportation is an inevitable step. I'm confident the technology will mature and will mature fast.
I suspect the idea of quiet supersonics are also very interesting to the Department of Defense as well (for relatively obvious reasons).

> I think the intent was to provide evidence of grassroots farmer support for Canadian-style controls on milk price and supply, which reduce volatility and the need for subsidies and have managed to maintain Canada’s family farms’ existence, which would give the American federal government ammo to institute similar policies.

That's a very interesting take on these policies. Here in Canada, we pay an obscene amount of money for dairy, from considerably smaller disposable incomes.

The understanding I've come to is that while the policies make it easier for some subset of mediocre dairies to operate, they make it much harder for productive dairies to expand business. The dairy propaganda here is quite laughable as well: the usual refrain is that dairy prices are "inelastic" (which is nonsense, people frequently choose not to consume dairy in Canada, whether because of cost or health concerns).

Case in point about "a certain group's position", it seems that the underlying stance of "the gendered brain doesnt exist" is: difference equals inferiority. Which of course is both absurd and reactionary. Saying that there is no difference and gender/behaviour is 100% the result of social pressure basicly means that for example gays are also conditioned, so this "theory" actually agrees with nutcase things like gay conversion therapy.

I think part of healthy debate (and its true value) is that the person with opposing views would also present science and data to back up their argument. Instead what we get is an instant fall back to "trolls, arguing in bad faith...". If you have data or research that backs up your position, you definitely should post it and compare it to any other data that comes from the opposing view.

And yes, I would change my mind if I was presented with credible evidence.
> Why should politics get in the way of our accumulation of data?

Great question. Unrelatedly, mind if I correlate your medical history and a genetic profile of you with your purchase history at three major retail chains and the contents of your inbox? I'm not intending to do anything special with it; I'm just accumulating data.

(... everything has a political dimension, including data accumulation. Because ultimately, humans use the data, and what humans do is politics).
Fun fact: there is also no express patent license in GPLv2. There have been lawsuits on that. I know because I was the lawyer who filed one of them. So...yeah, this problem is not hypothetical.
There is a long history in aviation of putting safety in front of profits. And what Boeing and the FAA have the appearance of right now is putting profits in front of safety. So you're seeing trust being burned, and other government regulators standing away from the fire to avoid their own citizen trust relationship from getting shredded in the process.

Is it fair? Maybe not all of it. But I think it's completely predictable.
