>why would you want to pitch downwards in a climb?

Because due to the different shape and position of the nacelles, there are aerodynamic effects that cause the plane to want to pitch up at high AoA. If you are already close to a stall condition, and you were caught unawares, bad times would be had.

The major issue though is pilots were left to 'just figure this out' instead of being informed of the change. I have a feeling Boeing felt justified doing this because they pitched it as a "reconfiguration" of an old airframe, not warranting any explanation.

As with any task I've attempted that involves deadly failure modes, this should have struck someone as being a terrible idea.
that's kinda like saying WWI could have been prevented if archduke ferdinand had taken a different route downtown. it might not have happened that day, but the powder keg was already primed and there are a lot of ways to spark it.
Charging for playing interesting civilizations with special starting units might be a strategy for making some money to support this project.
agreed... firefox is fab for me as well.. the only issue that i have with it is sped up videos don't pitch correct well. they sound a bit strange and I can't listen at speeds higher than 2x.
This is fantastic work, I wish you guys all the best!
People still got by in the past before govt welfare existed. What happened today?
ICQ/AIM died when Microsoft made Window come with their own default IM. Then people somehow moved over to Skype, then Microsoft bought skype, but screwed up, so people moved elsewhere. And Facebook happened. And smartphones happened. I think you can still reach most people via Facebook. IRC is also going strong! Gaming communities use VoIp services so they can talk in real time while playing games, there are a bunch of services targeting gamers exclusively. Old people still use mailing lists. Young people no longer use e-mail. XMPP is too damn complicated. We need something more simple, that use mostly direct connections (P2P) so public servers only are needed for discovery and NAT punching. The ID could be a public key hash, you just give the public key hash an alias on the client. Then the public key could also be used to encrypt messages. If you lose your private key you just make a new one, and tell your friends to add your new one.
Other services can then use the universal ID and peer discovery services to build functionality like sending files, sharing photo albums only accessible by a set of public keys that has to decrypt a challenge to gain access, etc.
From what I heard, you can still log in, but now if you try to send a message, it'll tell you that it's no longer supported. I imagine this behavior will eventually change.

Ask HN: Founders, if you had a time machine...
Question for startup founders: if you had a time machine to travel back to the inception of your company what kinds of things do you wish you had started doing then? Not "what do you wish you did differently?" but what stuff do you wish you had started doing so you could benefit from it later (i.e. now)?
The problem seems to be there is no barrier to entry. Say what you like about Apple's app store, at least they have standards that are enforced, and to a certain extent Google as well. Windows, and the Microsoft app store, on the other hand, suffers the same problem of quality control and lack of curation as Alexa skills. There are some gems, and Amazon have put effort into making Alexa and the Echo devices useful out of the box with their default skills/commands. I've also never had issues with the smart home skills for various devices I have around the house. However, it's a telling statistic that there are over 50 'fart' skills, [0] half of which are rated at three stars or above.

And of course, although stricter curation and quality control would fix this, it would cut the number of skills down hugely, maybe even to 1% of the current size, so the app store looks tiny and people don't bother with the platform. See also Metcalfe's law [1] and network effects...

The shoplifting would have happened at other stores, in the townships where those people live -- other ones.

Were it not for the coalition's change to fixed term parliaments (something else history can blame Cameron for), any defeat of the scale of these would have brought down the government.

>What if it turned out that the "urge to take things apart and learn how they worked", at some very low level, was more of a male thing?

Stop right here. You're already describing a high-level skill, an extremely high-level skill. What does grandparent have to say about this?

>high-level cognitive skills represent years of practice so even if you did find, say, a difference in the size of a brain region you would still want to study whether that's innate or simply reflecting that people who do something a lot develop capacity for it

So we see that the very question you are asking is precisely what grandparent is calling out as impossible to get some kind of direct access to in the first place. Why?

>because the brain is famously plastic

The brain, by the definition of its form, doesn't leave an audit trail, so by definition, _we cannot ask the kinds of questions you want to ask_, questions that, obviously, many many people _want_ to ask, _unless_ we somehow develop a way to backtrack the brain's _inline mutation_, which doesn't look likely. But ethical and political discourse is not designed to _wait_ until we have all the information to even make answering the questions they pose possible, questions which make _presumptions_ in the _absence of knowledge_, presumptions they can't actually cash the check for.

Science has _bounds_; ethico-political discourse does not. They are not composable types.

You ask, "Why would that be so bad? "

But we can't even begin to access the _conditions_ for even getting the presumption to be true, so what other value is there left for a question which is own shaky epistemological ground? What is the value of _supposing_ that it is true?

Hey Tony for the equity crowdfunding campaign we were vetted by 3rd party accountants and 3rd party lawyers. We published hundreds of pages of information will full financials and risks. You can find it here: https://www.startengine.com/hackernoon

Interesting that you think I raise money dishonestly, while Equity Crowdfunding is the only form of funding that publicly discloses all kinds of information for EVERYONE, not just the wealthy. For private raise, these kinds of info would typically be, well, private.

A short overview of the misinformation here:

$ I've been very upfront with my investors about what Medium is saying to me. Just a month ago Medium wrote that they wanted to cooperate on archiving past hacker noon on a hacker noon subdomain. Would you like me to forward you the email? But I've come to learn that when working with Medium, its best to hedge your bets. Well over half of our library have already explicitly opt-ed into Medium free terms with us. And I think its the better half. We also have been recruiting great content that we haven't published yet. Either way, our long term success will not be determined by content from the past; it'll be about how good or bad of a site we have going forward. And as Ev says "publishers and writers are free to move from Medium at any time" so there shouldn't be any problem here, but there is: https://twitter.com/DavidSmooke/status/1105522935349952512

$ Pageviews is not our metric. We don't need 8M pageviews to make far more $$$ than we are making now b/c Medium blocked our ability to run sponsors on our site (while running their own pop up ads). And we can open up new revenue streams. already this year we have podcast and events revenue.

Anyways, you think you're right and are willing to spend your time shouting about it. In a different time, I think we would have really liked building media together. You've made some cool things and have worked with some remarkable ppl - but I am just going to see you as another guy writing for his own vested interest. All the best. - David

The kids who only got in with some SAT fudging, like Felicity Huffman's daughter, were probably just below requirements to get into some of these universities. I read somewhere else that USC has so many applicants that if you don't have a 3.8 GPA with a 1400 SAT you are going to be the odd man out. So if you need 400 SAT points to get there, you probably aren't going to do it with just good prep (which usually only nets you a ROI of 200 or so points). So it's not like these people are complete morons and $15k is a pittance for the parents.

Lori Laughlin's daughter was probably a pretty poor student. Apparently she paid upwards of $500k to get in via the student athlete route, even though she's not an athlete. She's apparently a fairly well known Youtube/Instagram blogger who has made posts about not even wanting to be in college.

Well this shit doesn't sound any better:

1565207 At cruise flight, our Wi-Fi stopped working. I then saw that I was unable to access the Pilot Mobile app. Since I do not routinely copy the flight plan to iBook or acrobat (we are not required to do this), I was unable to access the flight plan. I've lost Wi-Fi before but not had this problem. Maybe it's a 737max thing. My First Officer had a copy on iBook and airdropped it to me. Later we were able to restore the Wi-Fi and I could login to pilot mobile but the [flight plan] was not there anymore.

It's time we make radio with the ATC VoIP. Just run an asterisk on the plane.
It's funny that we know this about public speaking and yet for some reason my manager and coworkers think the constant chatter is ok
> I don't I've quite articulated why I'm so critical of the tech industry. Tech isn't just software anymore.

She is picking the wrong target. Tech would do security if directed to do security. Business management doesn't care about security.

Until someone has to pay big money or do jail time for lack of security, this will not change.
Frankly I trust gorhill more than I trust whoever is behind any other random extension I never heard of before today. There is this little thing called "reputation".

Why do they make you use their extension, instead of simply letting you enter URLs on their website? If I'm curious what they think of any given website, why must I install their extension to find out? The only reason I can think of to not facilitate that sort of workflow is to coerce the curious into installing the extension, which I consider to be nefarious until proven otherwise.

10 YoE. Strong full stack engineer. I'm attentive to details without every loosing sight of the big picture. There is no such thing as "not my responsibility" or "not my technology".
Reuben Hersh has written about something to one side of this in mathematics: if you drive your specialisation narrow enough, you wind up in a room where perhaps only 2-3 people can talk to you cogently. Maybe this is part of things?

I overlapped with you on at least two people on that list, because of IETF but I maintain functional overlap with them on the margins. The rest have absolutely no contextual reason to know I exist and vice-versa.

(Of course there are several everyone knows exist, but it is a highly a-symmetrical relationship because a time when I would have need to speak to TBL and he have need to reply has long since passed, back in the 1990s and it never happened at the time)

So the author raises three points. One, is the death of open bus methods like XMPP. iMessage, Google Hangouts, use the underlying protocol but in a way which excludes exterior binding easily (Apple is a closed garden looking out)

WhatsApp uses signal, but anchors in a keypair nobody else can use. Signal is about as open as it gets. These protocols improve on XMPP because they implement things like key exchange and Forward security in ways I believe work. I have no doubt XMPP encompasses this, but the client implementations seem a bit fuzzy. Adium's 'deniable chat' thing never really took off did it?

Secondly, Adium is functionally orphanware. I use it, but it doesn't seem to get love and attention.

Lastly, there is an age effect. I had a circle of 40-50 people I held close, I now hold very few people close and I don't feel a grumpy curmudgeon, its just hard to maintain tenuous links. S/W can only mediate so much. (I'm 57 btw and I used BSD 'talk' and UNIX 'write' for years in the eighties and nineties on ARPAnet and JANET to do this, before chat protocols emerged from the BBS world)

That is clearly not true, and is an example of a continuum or line-drawing fallacy.
> "lying by omission."

That's why you should read multiple sources, not one. If one source is omitting details but not otherwise lying, you'll get those details from other sources. To reiterate my earlier example, when western media were omitting evidence that Anti-Maduro rioters had started the fire, you could still become aware of this information by paying attention to what some in the western press were calling "Russian talking points".

Regardless, you've not refuted the essential truism here, that no western source is always right and that Russian sources are not always wrong.
We all knew these tricks and started from there back in the day. Don't you think they are way too hacky? and cause too many page refreshes? Have you ever maintained codes mixing server-side templating and JS scripts?

And there are so many edge cases popping up so that you have to use JS anyway. Then you may ask why don't I use JS for everything then?

JS is inevitable no matter how you and I hate it. "JS-Free" only makes sense for simple presentations.
Not relevant to me as all of my sites are entirely secured with SSL.
This is a great feedback! I have never considered this aspect before. I think it makes sense to start some kind of blog on the website to explain legal matters in plain words, which startups can share with investors.

Another point to this is that we focus mainly on contracts, which startups use in their operational activity. I think this part is underserved most severely.

We have SAFE, because it is commonly requested by founders, but I think that Clerky does better job on corporate for now, since they have Board Consent+SAFE+signing+storage.

Maybe? Let me leave you with one other tidbit though. Beyond the requirements, airframe changes, and added electrical stuff, to fly the 737s you need a type rating and that rating is basically an education on all systems and procedures for the airframe. Boeing worked hard to make all aircraft from the 200 through the MAX fall under one type rating so if you get certified to fly an old low bypass 200, you can hop out, walk across the tarmac to a MAX and take off with another load of passengers. Obviously almost nobody runs the 200 anymore but the later aircraft are all still operated in some capacity and having one rating to rule them all makes it cheaper for small operators with mixed fleets to afford the training costs. In doing this, Boeing had to make the basic "UI" for the aircraft all the same, regardless of model. I'm not typed in the 737 but from what I've heard, it's resulted in a lot of user flow and documentation idiosyncrasies, particularly in the MAX lineup which could be part of the issue here. All that said, the trim motor disconnectors have been in the same place for most of the aircraft's history I'm told and hitting them would have likely prevented the Lion Air accident.
And also, annoying for Echo device users, since the use of the word 'Alexa' will trigger the device, and thus mute/drop the volume so that you can't hear what is said next... I guess it could be worse, since the volume reduction means the device doesn't hear the command and try to execute it as well!

TBH, I don't understand why they couldn't add a circuit that checks if the microphone is being activated by the device's own speaker, and ignore it. Some sort of simple phase inverting circuit from the speaker that gets summed with the microphone input ought to do it. It's not exactly rocket science and they're doing complex phased-array/beam-forming stuff with the microphones already, so it's not like the engineers are idiots?
phpMyAdmin or something might run on behalf of the administrator and do these queries.
Thanks for the documents! I searched through item 1 for 'trim', and while I found some trim failure reports, and the complaint about Boeing's nondisclosure of MCAS in its documentation, I did not notice any concerns over disabling a runaway trim situation.
The documents are governed by US law, so they are useful, if you have a US company or some clients in the US. At the same time, documents, like Privacy Policy are pretty international, so if you are building a SaaS business or an app, you can definitely rely on them.
Your link says, and it is also my understanding, that this only affects GSuite users, not the majority of Hangouts users. Is there any indication that most people will be affected ?
I do it several times per day. When you are maintaining a piece of garbage application, completely undersized, absurdly opened in term of filtering and extremely badly designed, it's the only way to manage this mess, not to mention the times when I have to fix the DB by hand, replaying, with some manual tweaks, queries normaly executed by the application.

And unfortunately, I don't think that's so uncommon.
An air gap won't even save you. See also: Stuxnet.
I think IPv6 was designed to not need NAT, so once we get IPv6 we will see cool new protocols again. Only problem is we developers make software insecure by listening on all IP's instead of just private. And without a password! Having your security camera or what not accessible from the Internet should really be opt-in. It's our own fault that everything is NAT:ed, and that the only open ports in the firewall are 80,443. We need more peer pressure between developers in order to make things secure by default, and not allow insecure by convenience.
If you want to see the final status of the submission without JS, you still need at least part of the page to visibly reload.
I suppose the contract obliges them to look for / accept a job after graduating? I mean, I'd be happy to take money to study for a while, but I wouldn't look for a job afterwards.

Modern Labor’s founder used to be a finance partner of ours, and decided to do something similar to what we had been working on. Modern Labor is (and this is my biased opinion) focused on the finance part and on bringing cost down, less on building “the school.” We are mostly focused on building the best school there’s ever been, and finance is a necessary piece for us but not necessarily the driver.
