As far as I'm aware, the previous versions gave an audible warning when the flight parameters were exceeding limits. The new system attempts to actively take control and sink the nose. If you know the system from previous aircraft, you'd expect the same behavior in the new one. I'm certain they mention this in training, but if English is not your first language, you'd have to pay particular attention to this part or you're screwed.
Antitrust covers in general anticompetitive practices, and has done so since the original Sherman Antitrust Act. So, for example, colluding with another business to fix prices is covered under antitrust, even if the sum of the businesses concerned do not constitute a monopolistic power in the industry. The other common category is the various rules around the preference of a company's other product lines over competitors--the line between "legal" and "illegal" is a little more blurry here.

You can fall afoul of these conditions if you have "sufficient market power", which is a substantially broader claim than "monopoly power." I don't think there's any lawyer that would try to claim that Apple doesn't have "market power"--note that the smartphone market, from an OS perspective, is basically a duopoly.
Lets turn that scenario around - if a group of armed military professionals from outside the USA were hanging around a bank in NYC, and when stopped, told the police that they were on a mission for their government... would the NYC cops be overstepping their bounds by not accepting that answer, and detaining them to investigate?
Email has similar clues. Either way, unsolicited mail is always suspicious, in both forms.
Non-profits are businesses--businesses with a privileged tax status.

It is possible to set up a non-profit business such that the money that comes in goes out through different ports than the ownership outflow pipe. A typical setup for a corrupt non-profit is for managers of the business to earn above-market salaries, and to own for-profit businesses that "compete" for service contracts with the non-profit entity.

For example, Jack Grift establishes a non-profit charity for orphan children with fantods. He works the circuit and manages to fund it to the tune of $1M per year. He leases a nice office space in a building owned by Jack Grift AAA Office Space, and contracts with Jack Grift Janitorial Services to empty the trash can, and sets the charity's salary for CEO at $250k/year, and Chief Revenue Officer at $100k/year, plus a bonus of 5% of incoming donations. Jack, of course, holds both positions. He gets $250k as CEO, $150k as CRO, $100k as his own landlord, and $50k for taking out his own trash. He rolls $440k into uncapturable overhead, marketing, and fundraising efforts, and still has $10k left to supply orphans with copies of both Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer.

The finances of universities are even more obfuscated, but it is undeniable that some university employees have the power to spend the organization's money for their own personal benefit. Catered faculty luncheons. Campus beautification in and around personal offices. Settlements from the university to forestall civil suits based on personal indiscretions. Premium parking spaces. These expenditures may, in fact, be justified by the mission of the university, but it is impossible for me to audit any given university's accounting books to make that determination for myself before deciding whether I want to give them more money than they demand on their invoices.

There are a lot of outflow pipes for business revenues. Non-profits only close one of them.
Oh $deity. If this is for real, we're all doomed.
I see where you are going with your statement:

> Firstly, a lot of issues don't and can't have any scientific rationale behind them. They're moral judgements. For example, if you want to go looking for scientific evidence for why the death penalty is a terrible idea you won't find any. You'll only find ethical and moral rhetoric about why killing innocent people by mistake is bad, or why the economics of keeping people in prison for decades when you could just kill them is irrational. Science has nothing to say. Science doesn't judge.

I wanted to talk more about your example of the death penalty.

However, if you do look into the death penalty, you'll find:

- in places that lock people up for life instead of killing them, sometimes people are later proved to be innocent and then released.

- in places where the penalty is death, a jury that would've sent a person to life in prison will often choose to release the person instead of kill them, as they aren't 100% certain and the consequence is irreversible.

I think science absolutely has some things to say about this. You could take my two statements as hypotheses and do tests to see if they are true. (This would be a lot like medical tests, but it wouldn't be ethical to have a test group and a control group; you could, however, create a regression model between two similar societies (or the same one at different times) and control for various differences, the chiefest being 'uses death penalty' or not, and answer these questions ("prove"/"disprove" the hypotheses) with some confidence.)

I agree that while you could do a study to see if people are happier and economies fare better in societies with capital punishment ["science"], that the rational and the outcome have nothing to do with science. It is a lot like in the Ted talk "Teaching kids real math with computers"[0] where the speaker explains that math has four steps:

1. Posing the right questions

2. Real world -> math formulation

3. Computation

4. Math formulation -> real world verification

If step 3 was 'Do Science', then it becomes obvious that the other steps lie outside the domain of science, but it does not become obvious that we can't use the tools of science to reason about problems that people disagree on, including moral quandaries.

I've always heard that writing a good short story is actually quite a bit harder than a novel, since you have to be fairly ruthless about what you include and leave out to have enough room for the essential components. A novel's plot can meander for a while, and it still might be good or okay. A short story's plot that meanders either isn't short anymore or doesn't go anywhere in the space it has.
> No, that contract has completely been rewritten. It’s totally different now. If you write open source, you’re not gonna get a job

Writing popular OSS software (e.g. via github/gitlab) is still one of the best ways to attract the attention of employers. The bottleneck is not "writing software" in the abstract, it's support - which also includes maintenance and addressing custom feature requests. And there's nothing wrong with requesting that support be paid for, nor is this per se incompatible with open source licensing. So, I'd say that ESR's argument still succeeds. People just seem to want things from OSS (or even "open core") development models that would be far from feasible with plain-old proprietary development - such as economic returns in the billion dollar range. This is quite silly, in my view - if the "problem" with FLOSS is that we aren't getting that kind of money from it, that just means that there's not much to complain about.
No it's a different problem, you're too reductionist, cries about IE6 are a distraction from that.

I periodically help to organize meetups with invited speakers and am looking for a solution that would help me manage communication with all guests + event attendees.

I would like to track - which guests have been confirmed, which have not yet. With whom we have had an pre-event call, etc. Would Indico work for this? Are there better tools?
It helps because it influences other authorities and buyers not to do anything drastic.
The US always has some hand in Caribbean affairs. It's just part of the realities of being a small island country next to a world superpower.
Yes, but when pre-compiling, you implicitly trust the code. JITs like V8 are used to execute arbitrary code on your device, where such an exploit is much more harmful.
>- spend more money

Nvidia isn't the cheapest option by far, so no, you should change this to "spend LESS money". If you're talking about printers (your post was poorly written and didn't refer to anything point-by-point), then yes, and also "spend more money to save money". Inkjet printers are a scam, full stop. They cost a LOT of money in consumables. You will save a lot of money by buying a laser printer instead. It's really that simple. And every laser printer works just fine in Linux. There is no good reason to buy a <$100 inkjet printer unless you really want to be ripped off.

>- I don't care about it

Yes, and lots of other people don't as well. If games are the only thing keeping you on Windows (and I've talked to a bunch of people for whom this is the case), then stop complaining about all the problems and spying in Windows: you're making a choice to enjoy a luxury, and put up with things you find abhorrent, just because of your addiction to games. I know this is news to a lot of younger techies, but not everyone cares about modern AAA games. I guess I shouldn't even bother writing this because apparently this concept is so utterly foreign to them, but it's true. There's large swathes of the computer-using population (which these days is most of the population) that don't buy or play video games, and haven't since they were kids. Amazing huh? So no, the fact that Linux can't play every single AAA game just isn't an issue to them.

>- something undefined is obsolete

I have no idea what you're referring to here, perhaps you could try being more descriptive.

>- ignoring that most business runs on MS products and compatibility issues are a thing

In my experience, all my work is in Linux, except for MS Office and Outlook, and companies are wasting a lot of money buying me a separate computer (or VMware licenses etc.) just so I can read email on Outlook.
I don't think it's the authors doing it. It's the publishers. cstross alludes to that in his post as well.

It occurs to me that a modern publishing deal for a new author isn't entirely unlike the VC deals we talk about here on HN. Yeah, the publishers might sign you for 2 books in a trilogy, but you just promised to be a unicorn in the process. The startup world is probably more friendly to serial entrepreneurs than the publishing world is to those authors, though; I haven't seen many discussions of this but I bet you basically get one chance at that deal before they move on to the next author.
The Apple Watch has almost been available 4 years... In the first year and a half all apps were extremely limited. I'm not sure if that leaves "many" years for them to not allow Spotify.
There is significantly more genetic variety in the single black "race" than all others put together. You could try dividing blacks into three or twelve different races but those lines are quite difficult to draw.

Any statement which considers black a single race and white and Oriental distinct is automatically suspect.

> I struggled with RSI for a couple of years until I read John Sarno's "The Mind-Body Connection" on the recommendation of someone from HN. Sarno's thesis is that many chronic pain conditions (those without a clear physical mechanism, such as RSI or chronic back pain) are psychosomatic.

I've had two RSI episodes in my life. The first one was similar to what you described and went away without any physical intervention, after I read something similar. The second (specifically, I had carpel tunnel syndrome symptoms) was more recently and didn't go away until I tried these: https://www.mijncarpaletunnel.nl/en/home They say to use them for 6 weeks. For about 4 weeks I didn't notice any change, but by the end of week 5 I was pain-free. They claim that you should remain pain-free for a couple of years after, which wasn't the case for me, I get some symptoms every so often (rarely pain, usually tingling fingers), but between using a Kinesis Advantage2 keyboard with foot pedals and taking regular breaks, its been manageable so far and hasn't caused any problems.

Wowzers. Yep, and there it is.
honestly and earnestly, i also think a psychological condition that can (in most cases) be adjusted is taking society seriously. without a filter, and in some cases a firewall... "society" can also be the source of chronic pain.

I am unfamiliar with this newsletter, is the name an acronym?
Yeah. Only it's not against songwriters per se.

Quote: "Early last month, the US Copyright Board (CRB) officially ruled in favor of a 44% increase on streaming music royalties for songwriters and publishers."

Care to guess how much of those services' content comes from publishers (read: labels), and how much those services already pay to them (hint: as much as 70% of their revenue)?

Also, strangely enough, the article quotes everyone except Spotify, Amazon etc. But is happily quoting .... (substitute expletives) various music vultures^W associations who directly benefit from this arrangement (and not the songwriters).
Who cares if you can't export your playlists. You probably used their proprietary recommendation systems to generate them anyways. And its not like I can't write down all of my playlists and recreate them elsewhere. Why should Spotify go out of their way to make it easier for me to switch off of their platform. I refused to get fired up over this non-issue.

Hello yegg,

I have applied a few times to these positions and never received a response. Is that normal?
I don't see how this would be different with PGP.
1. "Subscriptions must work on all of the user’s devices where the app is available. Learn more about sharing a subscription across your apps."

2. "You must not directly or indirectly target iOS users to use a purchasing method other than in-app purchase, and your general communications about other purchasing methods must not discourage use of in-app purchase."

I think this implies that the subscription must be the same for all devices and you can't treat iOS differently. Pretty sure having a lower price if you subscribe on Android would violate that second clause.
I'm hoping that we aren't seeing a situation where acting FAA administrator Elwell's past service as an Aerospace Industries Association VP and company advocate is biasing his reasoning towards the interest of industry players over public safety.
Sounds like they did their job exactly as they should, standing their ground.
so I don't get it, why don't people use GPL3/AGPL3 etc ?it seems like it allows projects to make money on their products, and also be free software at the same time. when things are licensed APL2 mit bsd etc whatever do people expect an implicit agreement where we want them to promise they won't use it anyway they want?
Yes. So costs of putting up an ad are reflected in the relevant departments. Large corps do this all the time, transferring money from the left pocket to their right pocket.

It's somewhat similar to net neutrality proposals. AT&T doesn't have a monopoly as an ISP. However, if AT&T starts/acquires a video streaming service, they should not give unfair advantages to their own service because they want to compete with Netflix.
According to the website, the debate is that Apple does not currently allow apps to do what you are describing.

A few quotes from the timeline:

> Apple now prohibits buttons or links to any other external ways to pay.

> While we haven’t been able to include any buttons or external links to pages containing product info, discounts, promotions, etc. (even if they don’t link directly to a payment system!) since Feb. 2011

I don’t think slander charges would work here unless the activists are lying about the scientists. Are there anti-harassment laws that could come into play? Much of the harassment probably crosses jurisdiction boarders, so it may be difficult to bring charges in many cases.
DKIM can verify the domain, but most email scams are already done from cousin domains, which DKIM doesn't solve... and will happily report as valid, providing the scammers have set it up on their domain.

I see, this makes some sense now. Basically, these two are good friends, and don't really have much interest in having sex, because obviously they aren't doing that very much if they just eat lunch together and maybe spend the night together once a week. If that works for them, that's great, but personally I can't imagine having a permanent relationship where we're not sleeping together every night.
And if example.com is a decent email provider, this also proves that it was sent by john, because otherwise the SMTP server wouldn't sign the outgoing email with a wrong login.

Civil rights? Really?
Perhaps. No one has any evidence of this in this case though, so it sounds like you're just taking a side.

On the other hand Spotify did squash this guy's app. That's a thing that happened. So it's not like the APIs aren't there.

So now we're taking Spotify's word that Apple is keeping them off the app store, while ignoring the fact that said app is possible and they themselves have kept an app off the app store.

Sounds like PR bullshit all around.
I am not a lawyer (and it seems the law may differ significantly between the US and Europe) but I think all companies want to disadvantage their competitors, so whether or not this is illegal really hinges on the definition of artificial.
I think it's too simple to just blame the media for this phenomenon. What is needed is not less media, but more nuance in the discourse; an ability to weigh the importance and relevance of some prior digression against the present person. It is possible, although perhaps uncommon, for people to change, even in major ways. But as one commenter noted, many people today seem to believe in a constancy of time and personality; that the core self is always the same and never changes, and therefore some action taken 20 years ago should carry the same weight as if it were done today. That belief is what is really underlying the current culture of outrage.

I did say "may"; also, there's a very big difference between declaring someone's illness to be a "real" "recognised" mental illness, and declaring it to be "all in their head".

The UK system is particularly bad at finding spurious reasons to dismiss disability claims.
I guess people who've put that much time into it must really enjoy the hobby. It probably does suck to have folks who are way less into it come along and mess up their fun, with the magic of technology. It's not like mass media—too many people knowing about some great thing in the real world can ruin it. Especially when those most into whatever activities are associated with those places might be so in no small part because it's a sparse community of people who, if you encounter them at all, are almost guaranteed to behave sensibly and respectfully.
Since Apple Music only appeared years later the message would be closer to "Hope you never get enough success for us to compete with you".

I mean, I definitely don't think anybody should be fired for something they did 20 years ago no matter how egregious, but it's misrepresentation to say the problem is bad work. The problem is the work is needlessly and unapologetically aggressive/hurtful to certain people. The equivalent would be losing your coding job today because your github has a 20 year old rootkit on it that cost a few people their credit scores. Which, still unacceptable, but a bunch of your coworkers would still hate you for having stolen people's information and benefitted from it.
