Because there are a lot of lower tier colleges which have no standards when it comes to graduating "software engineers." Basically like paying for a piece of paper and the right to call yourself an "engineer."
Apple clearly has a monopoly on the sales and distribution of iPhone apps, and as evidenced by Spotify, they are wielding that monopoly anti-competitively.

"Just use a different smartphone" isn't a real defense in my opinion, any more than "just use a unix workstation" would be to Microsoft's desktop computer monopoly in the 1990s.
no reason not to go after both. "Two wrongs" and all.
Depends on the context such as filenames on Mac which you link. There are many cases where doing it at the storage layer makes sense. Are you indexing text for search? Normalize. Do you want to de-duplicate textual data and store it in a database? Normalize. Are you going to run some sort of NLP analysis? Normalize.

Lack of competition? The A320neo (which has 6,501 orders) is what caused Boeing to update the 737 into the 737 Max. Boeing wanted to build a whole new plane which would have taken years, but Airbus released the neo and would have gobbled up orders now. What are you thinking Airbus bowed out of?

You should definitely not use Occam’s Razor to convict someone in court, true. You should probably use something besides “has a court already convicted this person” in your personal life though.
I'm taking Amazon's side because of Elastic's decision to keep security features (auth) behind a paywall. I will gladly support my company's use of Amazon's Open Distro if it means we can grant the right access to the right people at the right time without going from a lowish cost (we do pay for some features and support from Elastic) to an unsupportable high cost environment because of something as basic as authentication and authorization.

I'm glad someone open sourced such basic security concepts and I don't care that it was Amazon.

Yes, if the alternative is even less safe. This is important when the alternative might be driving, as driving is orders of magnitude more dangerous. Safety measures that annoy people too much can end up with a net loss of life because of this.

If there are other airliners that can be put into service to take up the slack, though, they’re very unlikely to be more dangerous.
From a November 29, 2018 story - Southwest airlines were activating a factory-installed option on delivered aircraft to "guard against any erroneous sensor data that may activate the jet's controversial stall protection system..."

https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/southwest-airlines...

The article notes that the airline has opted for an upgraded avionics suite that low-cost airlines have, for the most part, forgone.
What do you bet they went looking for a automated way to avoid anti-trust and it wasn't a happy coincidence?
The conclusion in this case is, "two of the same type of plane crashed under similar circumstances so until we know more, no one should fly this plane." I have no problem with a regulator jumping to that "conclusion" until they are absolutely certain the plane is safe.

What bothers me is that yesterday, Garneau was basically saying, "until we're sure the plane is unsafe, we're going to keep flying it." That's backwards.
The quoted quote:

"At AWS, we believe that maintainers of an open source project have a responsibility to ensure that the primary open source distribution... does not advantage any one company over another. "

The actual, original quote from the AWS blog:

"At AWS, we believe that maintainers of an open source project have a responsibility to ensure that the primary open source distribution remains open and free of proprietary code so that the community can build on the project freely, and the distribution does not advantage any one company over another."

It's a misquoting, designed to change the meaning to suit his needs. Once you read the original blog post in its entirety, this guy's arguments lose their foundational premise.
> Telling scientists to "stay in their lane" and avoid talking about their research in public isn't going to improve the quality of that discourse.

There's a difference between results that have been validated by multiple studies and replicated, and results that have only one or two studies backing them. I think the replication crisis clearly shows why.

Furthermore, there's also a difference between scientists making positive claims and scientists correcting improper interpretations of existing results.

I think my post was pretty clear about what scientists should not be writing about on social media. Writing about anything else is perfectly fine.
> We're talking facts here; and this data is from climatologists and backed up by studies. The conclusions are also not mine.

> What is there to rebut?

The rebuttal would look something like: "The data doesn't mean what you think it does due to X, Y, or Z." Or "Yes, this is true, but you are ignoring these other 10 aspects of the situation, which demand another interpretation". And so on.

One piece of data doesn't mean anything by itself. It needs to be put into context and interpreted. This is the hard part, of course.

> Nobody will want to discuss climate change if there is such hostility and alarmism.

The hostility and alarmism is only unjustified if they are wrong about the facts of the matter and how to interpret them, and if the contrarian arguments brought forth are ignored without good reason or in bad faith. So, the particular details do actually matter. It is about climate change. Or whatever other specific topic.

In my personal experience, the majority of contrarian arguments for climate change that I have seen have been put forth without due diligence or an understanding of how the argument fits into the broader picture. Which is what you would expect if the reality is that there isn't actually a strong opposing case.

Side note but talking about their users/customers as "our fans" is super strange.
I have no idea whether the correct default position should be to ground or not to ground these planes.

But it's clear that the investigation is in-progress and their statement was not "we don't believe it" but "Thus far, our review ... provides no basis to order grounding the aircraft ... Nor have other civil aviation authorities provided data to us that would warrant action."

> Even if they are right, the right thing to do is thoroughly review past incidents and issue a finding.

Isn't that precisely what they're doing now? Also from the FAA's statement: "... if any issues affecting the continued airworthiness of the aircraft are identified, the FAA will take immediate and appropriate action."
If anyone has a problem with it, tell them that you update your resume every year, sometimes more often if you change roles significantly or add new major capabilities/certifications. I firmly believe everyone should be doing that, and it's among the first bits of advice I give to any dev I mentor.

It doesn't mean you are actively looking for a new job. Generally, if you are the one looking you have put yourself in a buyer's market. You, and your potential increase in your next employers revenue, are what's being sold. So a buyer's market is not good here.

OTOH, people will come to you asking if you're interested, putting you into a seller's market, if you do the following and are legitimately good:

* Continually update your resume and make it publicly accessible as well as easy to find

* Network frequently, but also network organically, sincerely, and follow through by maintaining the connections you meet

* Get your work out there and visible via Github, Gitlab, contributing to Open Source projects, etc. Sometimes this is hard, for example if you work as a defense contractor.

I've had regular increases in overall compensation at rates usually above my peers, work on great teams, and all without a gap in employment since 2001. I am definitely not the typical HN reader though. East Coast, not in a VC startup, family, and defense contractor (though not on weapons).
The "data" being ADS-B information gathered by amateurs over homemade receivers?

If I was a regulator I'd want a verified and traceable data source as well.
Is it normal for there to be this kind of obsession about a particular plane following a crash? I feel like I've never seen this before. I literally saw someone on Twitter suggesting that you print out a page of the manual and hand it to your pilot…
I really think "A Wizard of Earthsea” is underrated. It really was one of the first examples of fantasy that was set in a society not based on Western ones.
I haven't experienced this failure with AWS. I've had good experiences with both GCP and AWS, and a handful of terrible experiences with Azure. I don't know your particular use-case, but I end up being clean-up for AWS disasters, and each one's root cause was poor planning and/or execution. Likely the result of an over-ambitious employee or contractor trying to implement by the seat of their pants.
Seriously, I thought I had a handle on the worst apple's done and this surprised me.
> The charity you set up will be perfectly aligned with your interests and values

If you are perfect at setting up and managing a charity, perhaps, but then if you are concerned with education, and what something perfectly aligned with your values, may mean you need to set up a university, not a scholarship fund.

> whereas the highest paid employees of the existing "charity" are probably the president and the men's football coach

You assume that this conflicts with, rather than reflects, the interests and values of the kind of people who donate money to the universities. I think that if you explored the issue you would find that it is not the case, and particularly that the variation in whether or not that is true at any particular university correlates very neatly with the values of the people who donate to the university. (As far as causal explanations, I would assume that there is a two-way feedback loop; donors who value football will make a school more likely to pay the football coach well which will attract more donations from people who value football and less from those who do not, etc.)

> A private scholarship charity can't play those games

Yes, but that's just another way of saying that a private scholarship charity has a lot less control of what actually gets delivered as education than a university.

Not sure that's a reason to support the former over the latter, though, especially when the choice is taking the additional effort and cost to set up the former; its just another way of saying "less bang for the buck".
Thanks a lot. That is very helpful.

Do I need to have contacts or connections in china for manufacturing or is it ok to not have them?
There is a Bob Ross channel on youtube:

https://www.youtube.com/user/BobRossInc
If you think about it, nothing really like IRC exists nowadays. Slack is similar, but it's more of a work tool, and it has a much smaller userbase than any of the other mass communication tools (~10M).

I'd say there's simply no great demand for real-time chatting with large groups of people.
Eh, in general I think it makes a lot of sense to do it at the storage layer.

That particular commit mentions _filenames_. I agree you should _never_ touch the bytes that are meant to be a filepath. file systems still do idiosyncratic things with non-ascii file paths, and most of us aren't filesystem experts. Leave the bytes of a filepath alone.

Since git is all about filepaths, it makes sense that git would want to generally avoid this.

But in general, "during presentation" is not enough to deal with the sorts of problems the OP talks about. If you're comparing strings somewhere, it's probably before "presentation".

In general, I think it's quite reasonable to normalize your input, on the way in, to NFC. I think it's reasonable enough in most cases that normalizing input to NFC on the way in is a reasonable "default" to get started with, unless you know a reason you shouldn't.

(For searching, you MIGHT want to normalize to NFKC, but that is "lossy" so I would never do that as a rule. I'd normally do it in some other field, and keep the original lossless copy too).
I miss safari for windows
Neither do I, any more, but I wasn't precient enough not to do it 10-15 years ago, and there's no way of redacting that information.
Get somebody who isn't a shit head to review the design. I bet it sucks the big one in ways that would be apparent to a real professional.
I very much doubt they're using consumer grade Linksys boxes in there, though.
Europe is also a lot closer to Addis Ababa than the US. Shouldn't the decision process be to send the black boxes to the closest facility that can process them?
This is 100% correct. If you go look at the Chef cookbooks for any popular piece of software, say Apache or MySQL, the code is littered with conditional logic and attributes for different Linux distributions (not even considering entirely different operating systems). Every distro has different packages as dependencies, install locations, configuration file locations, service management, etc.

Docker (all container solutions really) aren't a panacea, but they solve a very real problem.
After researching further, it appears they are adding it in response to this incident [1]

I had heard on my local NPR this morning that they had already done so, apparently they have just been receiving ever increasing requests for this feature.

> Placebo doesn’t actually help you

What?

The first definition of the placebo effect I found was this:

"a beneficial effect produced by a placebo drug or treatment, which cannot be attributed to the properties of the placebo itself, and must therefore be due to the patient's belief in that treatment"

My highlight.
At a recent event, all of my friends and relatives took lots of photos, then cautioned each other not to use Facebook to post or share any of the photos because of privacy and facial recognition concerns.

All of them did, however, use WhatsApp to share the photos with each other. <facepalm>
I find this so problematic. There are a number of psychologists who are being pushed heavily by social and transrights groups to always suggest transitioning as an option. This goes against one of those classic staples of what we teach people growing up: "You need to be okay with who you are."

Helping someone be okay with their own gender shouldn't be an ethically questionable treatment to offer. After all there are risk from hormone replacement therapy. Transitioning can also be an option for adults, but I feel as if it's pushed too heavily for adolescence today. These are reasonable questions, but they're often met by activists as being "anti-trans."

In a way, it's another example of what the article describes; the bullying against psychologists from giving their actual views and opinions. There are two really excellent Wrongspeak podcast episodes dedicated to this:

>My feeling is that if there is irrational decisionmaking by the FAA in Boeing's favour

There seems to be a lot of feelings going around. I just don't get why they're only going against the U.S and Boeing, who obviously don't want another 737 Max crash if only because that would definitely call the entire program (and $500 billion) into question, when the EU hosts literally the only competitor to Boeing.
Thanks - good to know.

jail is pretty tremendous - a real win in many areas.
Thanks! That helps a lot and is along the lines of my thought as well. Do I need to have manufacturing contacts also lined up?
why does this make me nervous?
You are discounting the possibility of software controlling an aerodynamically unstable airplane safely. This has been happening for decades (see X-29, B-2, etc)
I'll take this as the sign that entirety of Chromebook is at high risk of being canceled.
Are you asserting that capitalists care about freedom and the will of the people?
Can they just get customers to shift over to a different model plane?
incorrect.

phone choices are inelastic. users do not drop phones and switch to a competing platform because they cannot install an app, it's the other way around. besides, with that logic you have no guarantee against ALL platforms becoming locked down (as they more or less have) to compete.
This is the conclusion I too could come up with. But whatever, I think these 2 737 crashes have pushed fully automatic flights a bit further.
If this turns out to be a software bug of dangling pointer... oh imagine that poor developer has to take all the karma of lost lives...

Deerfield ponies up $100M for translational research deal with Harvard
Maybe he recognized that giving the information to SEC or DOJ would result in them dithering and keeping the information from the public for months or years on end as is their custom when facing complaints against well-heeled and connected corporate bad actors.

Tripp believed dangerous batteries were being placed in Tesla cars being sold to the public. It seems like none have been seen in the wild -- maybe because he was wrong or maybe because his public revelations forced Tesla to change course.
Well the fact is that they can’t so long as Apple is manipulating their platform but they can encourage people to leave the Apple platform which is far more devastating to Apple than losing music subscribers
For real, 5 million people downloaded "Water Surfing Car Stunt"? Like what the heck? Meanwhile I try making something serious and half a dozen people see it.
He absolutely did not design a rocket. He didn’t found Tesla either.
The article takes a very long time to raise that the photographs in the collection had Creative Commons licenses.

Perhaps the specific use they're being put to isn't covered by the particular CC licence of each one, but until that is someone's claim I don't see this is quite the issue it's portrayed as.
No. It's because lack of pilot training for this new airplane has been suggested as a cause.
The law will not see a company as having a monopoly just because they have a monopoly on their product. (Especially when that product has a minority market position.)

Now there is a completely separate question of unfair competition, but this has to be answered on an App by App basis. Does Apple have an app that provides the service in question? Does Apple disallow competing apps which provide that same service? Is there a compelling reason for the prohibition (Security, physical safety, etc.)?

There's an awful lot that goes into those questions. That said, it seems to me that if Apple is prohibiting spotify from being on its devices, this could be unfair competition. I don't really see any issue of safety with spotify. (I don't use it though, so if there is some safety or security issue with it, I'll freely admit I'm wrong.)

Then, of course, the issue of the tax. That's a non-starter. Apple, actually any company, is allowed to charge for services rendered. They can't be compelled to provide app store and ecommerce services at no cost.
Exactly, but Apple can run their streaming service as a loss leader because they still get to book the 30% revenue on the store side. Spotify can't recoup that 30%.

This effectively gives Apple an extra 30% margin for their streaming music service.

An attitude of “damn the regulations, we need to help business” flows from the very top of this administration, too. That, and blatant corruption. How much has Boeing spent at Trump properties in the last few years?

The FAA should be independent but it doesn’t always work that way, and this sort of thing can tip the balance.
Dilemmas with React Hooks – Part 1: States and Reducers
Gotta ask, when's the time to buy Boeing stock? It's like all these things happen, stock gets dumped quickly, but it's not like this hurts the overall value of the company.

Anyone have other examples of events like this taking down a big company's stock price for a limited time, but not affecting it overall?
How bad of an idea would it be to create a ROP-based JIT engine for these platforms? You could hand-craft the gadgets and use the stack to reduce interpreter dispatch overhead.
You can bet the FBI didn't wait two days to take action on that lead. It turned out to be nothing, but "out of an abundance of caution" should be the standard here, not balance of probability.
Google doesn't even have a network effect, they just have the World's best search engine. If it ceased to be the World's best, you could leave immediately. Amazon you can replace by just ordering from any of the other countless online vendors.

Facebook is harder to replace, but people thought Myspace would be around forever for the same reasons.
Also, in 2000, the entire Internet had about 10% the number of users it has today (~300M vs around 4B). Still a very impressive number, but the comparison isn't very meaningful.

I spent some time in the Gregor lab during grad school. I'm obviously biased but I think the work represents some of the most original happening right now in biophysics. These papers were extremely rewarding to read and represent almost a decade of work on part of many members of the lab.

For those interested, I recommend diving into some of the lab's earlier work as well as the work of Bill Bialek, Thomas's advisor, who formulated a lot of these theories for photon sensing in the eye decades ago.
I don't see where Meissner says he knew they "didn't have a case" as you asserted in your OP.
Again, this sounds like a typical software developer mindset: "let's just use a workaround!" That's OK if you're using an office software product; it's not OK for an aircraft carrying hundreds of people where one small problem can kill them all (plus more people on the ground).

The correct procedure is to ground the plane until the problem is fully understood, and use different planes.
>Because you're making a claim with absolutely no evidence that the captain sat by and watched a rookie crash a plane

Care to show me where I made that claim? All I said was that given the (good) conditions it was more likely (than any average minute of flight) that the less senior pilot was controlling the aircraft.

>and the captain did nothing to intervene and save his own life.

You mean like what happened the on the Air France A320 that wound up in the drink a few years back? It's perfectly possible that one pilot started fighting the MCAS system and both pilots actions in their attempts to deal with the situation combined in a way that resulted in the crash.
it has been "this will" and not "this does" for the better part of a decade, I think it's time for people to realize that theory and practice are two very different things and the first does not vindicate the second.
