I work in public digitisation in Denmark where we do digital elections. We’ve digitised voter registration, not the actual voting part. That bit is still done with paper, and will continue to be that way for a long time.

Basically every adult Dane is mailed a vote-card that you can trade in for a ballot at your local voting place each election. Traditionally you took this paper and got crossed off in a big book, something which created hour long queues at prime times. So we added a bar code to your vote-card, and now we scan it when you arrive.

The interesting bit about this though, is that it’s way more expensive to do things this way because public IT-systems are just damn expensive. Which leads me to your point on “why would you do it”, and I agree, it just doesn’t make sense to digitise elections.

It doesn’t really make them easier to handle. We have to train people on how to setup and use the system, each time. We also have to set up the equipment and the backup equipment. Basically we spend a few thousand hours extra in preparation for each election, so not only is the software/hardware expensive, we actually use more man hours. You could reduce some of that by digitising the vote counting of course, but when we did the math it wouldn’t save us more than we spend.

So there is no financial reason to digitise elections.

We knew this when we decided to digitise part of our election btw, but because we’re the public sector and not a business, well, financial reasons aren’t the only reason we operate. Citizen satisfaction is a major one, and that’s exactly what we get by lowering the queues from a few hours to 10 minutes max.

But what is there to gain by digitising the counting? Getting results at 8pm instead of later during the night? Maybe if it was risk free, but since digital elections are the opposite, there is just no reason.

I guess if you let people vote online like Estonia, but we wouldn’t consider that to be a democratic process.
Thank you for the detailed answer. This is exactly what I was looking for when starting this thread.

This technology is key to how we will detect fake or doctored videos. Publishers will no longer be able to produce simple live video stream, they will need to publish general purpose sensors to create an audit trail for validating the contents. If you want to fake a video, you will need to forge all of these other signals in a consistent way too.

Predictive Medicine: Where the Pentagon and Silicon Valley Could Build a Bridge
There’s really not a need to ground the 737 Max.

The easy solution is if you don’t want to fly in one don’t book a flight that uses that plane.

Now sure, maybe by grounding the planes you can argue you are protecting people who are ignorant about what plane they are booking, but a person could easily be killed getting a taxi or an Uber, but that doesn’t mean we stop them from operating. Even with the recent crashes, these planes are still far safer than cars.

And really with the amount of travel that happens everyday I don’t think it would be wise to keep such a large amount of airplanes on the ground for little to no reason.
This entire post sounds like a "hot take". There is indeed a ton of misinformation around and there is no reason to believe your post isn't exactly that, especially when you make undefended claims like "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is a completely wrong way to learn".

I'm also puzzled that you explicitly put down dotrsotb but then go on to recommend Sycra, who recommends that book frequently...
The "Open Source" rhetoric and appeal to a mythical "Open Source Community" seems out of place coming from both Elastic and AWS when the truth is that both companies, and their developers, need compensation, or simply wouldn't exist otherwise. Elastic uses Apache Licensing to make inroads (do they have outside contributors?), and AWS needs commodity software to sell infrastructure. Why not be honest about it?
> Despite Amazon's posturing about its care for open source, Elastic's response was pathetic. If Elastic doesn't like their Apache 2.0 software getting forked, maybe they're the ones with "fake altruism or benevolence" (their words). If Elastic is feeling threatened by AWS, they've chosen the wrong business model.

You still have stocks in Amazon?

You worked there for eight years apparently. You are part of the problem. You took part in all their tax dodging, open source exploiting bullshit. You took their massive pay and fucked over lots of people.

You're the one who is pathetic.

Colleges would argue turning you into a software engineer isn't their role, which is fine, but I'd argue that is the goal of the vast majority of CS students, so there's a mismatch.

> if the 737-Max had just been given an entirely new model name like "738"

That model name would’ve been worse. The 737-800 is very commonly abbreviated to 738 in the industry (739 being 737-900, 744 being the 747-400, etc).
Slightly more guaranteed is something of an understatement; if you specify base images with specific hashes and pin package versions, you can get quite close to reproducible builds of the environment.
Will this basically be negated by enough other countries grounding it though? It seems to me that if the EU, China, the UK, and other major countries are all grounding it then many others are likely to follow suit basically making it irrelevant if there are one or two holdouts (even if one of them is the U.S.)

> Predicting Success in College: SAT® Studies of Classes Graduating Since 1980

> Studies predicting success in college for students graduating since 1980 are reviewed. SAT® scores and high school records were the most common predictors, but a few studies of other predictors are included. The review establishes that SAT scores and high school records predict academic performance, nonacademic accomplishments, leadership in college, and postcollege income. The combination of high school records and SAT scores is consistently the best predictor. Academic preadmission measures contribute substantially to predicting academic success (grades, honors, acceptance and graduation from graduate or professional school); contribute moderately to predicting outcomes with both academic and nonacademic components (persistence and graduation); and make a small but significant contribution to predicting college leadership, college accomplishments (artistic, athletic, business), and post-college income. A small number of studies of nonacademic predictors (high school accomplishments, attitudes, interests) establish their importance, particularly for predicting nonacademic success.

> SAT and ACT scores as predictors of undergraduate GPA scores of construction science and management students

> The result showed relatively strong positive correlation and predictive indices for both ACT and SAT. Thus, the hypothesis of higher UGPAs being related to higher ACT or SAT scores was supported. It was concluded that the admission committees might need to reexamine their admission requirements and/or look at ACT score more than SAT during admission.

Open source will always be a tool used by corporations to do terrible things. That's why corporations backed it over Stallman's free software movement. They knew that someone like Stallman, who actually wanted to give users power over their computing, was fundamentally going to stop them from being total sleezebags. Open source gives them the ability to pretend to care, while using the software in nefarious ways.
It isn't true that you don't know anything at all.

You simply look at the carbs and the sugars, which are required to be shown for package foods. Glucose in the bloodstream comes directly from carbs.

So here are 3 simple rules:

1. if a food is high in carbs and low on fiber, then your blood glucose is going to spike

2. if it's prepackaged / processed food and high in carbs, it doesn't matter what else they claim on the package, your blood glucose is going to spike

3. if a food is low on carbs, then your blood glucose is going to stay low

The reason for why the glycemic index is a hoax is because it gives a free pass to _fructose_, because fructose leads to a somewhat lower glucose circulating in the blood stream after your meal, because fructose needs to be metabolized in the liver first. However this mentality is a trap because as a mater of fact fructose is more toxic than glucose.

At that point, not only will Boeing be at fault, but heads at FAA as well.

On the other hand, FAA is known to be very strict when it comes to safety. So, I feel like they must think that US pilots are trained for what the alleged issue seems to be (MCAS).

All cars that drive only the front wheels experience a phenomenon called torque steer: as the engine produces more power the car tends to veer off into one direction or another. This is typically only a problem with more powerful engines.

Many manufacturers will use different length driveshafts to each front wheel, maybe they'll use fancy mounting hardware, maybe they'll reduce the maximum power at low speeds, maybe they'll apply the brake on one wheel as you start to move in a direction other than where the steering wheel is pointed.

Let's say a car company put out a little front wheel drive car so powerful that simply applying the brakes or cutting power would make the car much less fun to drive. So let's say our miracle company decided to have the computer steer the car in the opposite direction when you press the accelerator pedal instead.

Then one day the dongle that determines how far you're pushing the accelerator pedal breaks. The wiper on one of the potentiometers is dirty and instead of sending no signal it's sending an erratic and inaccurate signal. It's not a problem for the engine computer, there are two pots and it's picked the good signal and limited engine power just in case. For some reason cruise control doesn't seem to work, but other than that the car seems to drive fine.

But the torque steer doohickey is using the bad signal. The bad signal is erratic and makes the computer think you're trying to accelerate rapidly and yanks the wheel to the left for no apparent reason. You yank the wheel in the other direction and the car drives fine for a bit so you continue. As you accelerate onto the freeway onramp it happens again. You yank the wheel the other way and keep going. Then you try to change lanes to pass a slow truck in front of you. It happens again, only this time as you're trying to turn left you can't counteract the insanity. Instead your car tries to make a ninety degree turn at freeway speeds.

Safety is always a priority, but it's never the only one: There's also an economical factor in the equation. Other nations have less to lose by grounding these planes, leading to a different result between 'risking human lives' vs 'causing financial impact'.

Finally, airplanes may have different configurations. I only skimmed some discussions and I'm not well versed in the subject so take what I say with a grain of salt, but there seem potential differences in configurations, e.g. AOA disagree indicators (which is related to the potential cause for both accidents); Some airlines (I think South West at least) also announced changes w.r.t. those systems after the Lion Air accident. That might also change the 'risking human lives' variable in the equation.

Binance Trust Wallet Adds Support for XRP and Credit Card Purchases
The FAA was intentionally made independent of airline advocacy to avoid conflicts of interest that previous government agencies overseeing air travel in the past had. So it’s odd if it’s not based on the data.
It’s scary to think how complicit the FAA was in granting Boeing’s wish that this 30 year newer plane with substantially larger engines only required 2-3 hours of new training and said training was able to miss covering entire systems like MCAS. Now 350 people are dead, all the FAA can be thankful of is the dead are foreigners so it’s unlikely they’ll be held properly accountable.

2 crashes in less than 6 months for a plane that's been in service less than 24 months, yet "no systemic performance issues". Somebody's going to die so US companies can make a some extra profits. Business as usual here.

Yes, reminds me of that sf movie/tv show trope where the invaders are coming in from outer space, we see them passing Saturn, then Jupiter, then Mars, then the Moon, on their approach to Earth. As if the planets were all neatly lined up based on their orbits. Because in the minds of most people that's how it "should" look to zoom in from outer space to our planet. Whereas what this is demonstrating is that on average the planet the invaders would be most likely to pass close to on their approach to Earth/Moon system would be Mercury.

From a customer perspective I would have appreciated a joint approach of the major aviation agencies. The way it is handled right now, I can’t judge whether the EU is reacting shortsighted or if the US is too careless. One seems to be true?

Got it, can states/airports decide unilaterally not to serve them? I imagine if the highest volume airports banned these flights it would ground the vast majority of them
oh so you can't use it with something like thunderbird or mailspring ? what about mobile apps?
I'm wondering if the autopilot contains the same correction algorithm that MCAS is using.

I'm wildly speculating here, but since wing loading is also a factor in calculating the angle of attack at which a potential stall condition could occur, I'm also wondering if it relies on the accuracy of the weight and balance the pilots enter into the flight computer. Pilots have missentered such critical information before.
But Southwest did something nobody else did. They added a second AOA sensor. This should mandatory by every security standard and Southwest did good by mandating it, but Boeing still got away with all other companies.

Neither Lion nor Ethiopian had stellar safety records, e.g.

* https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/22/world/asia/lion-air-crash...

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_Airlines_accidents_a...

The training hours should also be looked in the context of the total hours flown on that specific model - a pilot who just sat through the short training session would have a different perspective than a pilot who sat through the same training session but has also flown the plane for hundreds of hours.

It's also not a brand new airplane - it's a modification of 737, so the training is transitional. It's not like Boeing took a freshly minted Cessna 152 pilot, gave them a 2-hour seminar, and type-rated them for the 737 Max.
> Except NS1 don't actually offer any pricing.

That's true, and it might have been a good enough reason to exclude it from the comparison, as I did with Akamai for CDN. Yet, unlike with Akamai, nothing seems to come really close to NS1 in DNS space.

> Rage4, are they being used by any big players site?

That's its major downside. It has no competition in terms of the price / performance ratio, but might be not big enough company for major players to put a trust in.

Still, Rage4 is regarded with respect by others in its own industry: BunnyCDN uses it for distributing the traffic, and Cloudflare's employee recommends it when Cloudflare doesn't fit[1].

> And no mention of DNSMadeEasy?

I found it to be neither the most technically advanced, nor the best value-for-money. It might be a good option for those who don't have enough justification for NS1, and enough confidence in Rage4.

What I dont understand is why the airlines themselves (Southwest and American) are refusing to halt the planes - this seems totally irresponsible with what is known at this point.

In short, the Max-8 ships with a shitty default configuration. After the first crash, the FAA and the major american airlines with these planes aggressively updated the instrument panel settings, warnings and processes to ensure pilots were aware if there was a sensor disagreement that could cause the MCAS system to accidentally stall. (I know this is true for Southwest, I assume the rest followed suit.) While the default configuration and the behavior of the MCAS system are both hideously awful, the FAA trusts their process to have fixed it, and I think their results back up the call.
