Apparently he's got his @N account back. I wonder how it happened, I don't see anything about it in the article.

What measures do you have in place to help the person who posts they're about to commit suicide?

I mean this is tricky right? Is it possible to run a site like this where people share emotions (feelings) and be hands off? Or is there some moral obligation to help someone who is in desperate need of help because you are encouraging them to share?

It really depends on the application. Such as content recommendation, prediction of popular items are requested frequently. We maintain prediction cache so we can serve the frequent cache without passing into the model. We also use cache for selecting a model. To do this we join the original prediction with the feedback it receives. Feedbacks are received soon after the prediction, even unique query can benefit from a cache. Most of the prediction models are not Deep learning these days. Most companies are using classical machine learning. In our case, we trained SVM in SciKit learn feedback throughput of 1.8x. We have a simple LRU eviction for cache and use normal cache eviction algorithm.
The current theory of "why" is that the new system should work automatically so there's no need for retraining, but if it goes wrong the pilot can disable it; but since there's no retraining, the doomed pilots didn't know why the planes were doing what they did and how to disable it.

If I were a pilot and got assigned the same model, I would make sure to learn the procedure to disable it. And make sure the procedure really works, although how would I do that, can I ask Boeing? Since it's software, what other variables did they forget to include in their testing?

AF447, I think, was just a bunch of UI errors that led to the deaths of hundreds.

As I understand it, after one airspeed sensor failed, the plane switched from "normal law" to "alternate law". In "normal law", there is no control input that can take the plane out of its safe flight envelope (i.e., you can pull all the way back at the lowest possible airspeed and not stall the plane). In "alternate law" there is no such protection. When AF447 crashed, the first officer spent most of the time pulling all the way back on the joystick, which will (and did) stall the plane. This, to me, indicates that he didn't have any idea that the plane had switched into alternate law, which seems like a UX error. I bet if all the screens switched from white-on-black to black-on-white when going into alternate law (or something more night-vision friendly) there would have been no doubt and there would have been no incident.

The other problem was that the captain and first-officer were inputting conflicting control inputs and didn't know it. The plane just averages them, and provides no indication that it's doing so. The captain sees that he's pushing all the way forward on the joystick and has to wonder why the plane is still stalling. Meanwhile, on other planes the control columns are mechanically linked, so you have to fight against the force of the other pilot which will signal you to say something like "dude let go" and regain control over the plane.

I feel like we should have fixed this in the 1980s when this happened:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kHa3WNerjU

But here we are in 2019 with basically the same problem. I fear that Boeing hasn't learned Airbus's lessons and the 737 MAX is confusing people in the same way that people were confused by the first A320s. The solution has always been "blame the pilot" but I blame the software.

I take your points around Signal but I think your priorities may be different than others. IE, I care more about an open standard being created for E2E encrypted chat that lets you pick your own home server than I care about Signal using Firebase Cloud Messaging. If Signal's standard was built to allow multiple home servers then we could each pick which client served us best.

It is a shame XMPP got lost in the shuffle along the way.

On the Firebase point, it is harder than it looks. I know this because we have similar problems as them (needing to notify our app to go sync) and basically Android has removed every other option for you to wake a device to do that EXCEPT for FCM. Every release has come with more and more ways they lock down background apps to now it being completely impossible for an app in the Play store to do anything but FCM.

So Signal doesn't have a whole lot of choice there, at least not unless they decide they won't be available in the app store which kinda sinks them as being a real competitor.

On that note, I think they do a decent job and I really do want to use them but they are behind on features compared to their peers and I just don't see it happening. Some of those are large moats created by the "free or nothing" philosophy. For example, one of the most useful WhatsApp/Telegram features is being able to share your live location for 30m or an hour with a friend or group. It isn't clear this is going to happen due to not having a good free map provider:

For Ramen in particular you don't need to go to a specific restaurant to get a good meal.

Definitely need to try these others though.

Firefox 65 keeps crashing on my Linux box. I've tried downgrading to 64 and below. But whatever updates were installed when I installed FF65 also crash FF64 and under.

It was either change OS or let FF go. I've since moved to brave browser, but would happily go back to FF if/when I figure out and troubleshoot the issue.
I guess it might sound contradictory if one assumes that more competition is always better for the consumer, without considering how competition works. What competitive pressure does is continuously minimize everyone's margins, forcing companies to figure out new strategies of making money in order to survive. Being the best vendor from customer's point of view is one approach, but not the only one - and not necessarily most efficient. Other effective approaches include: reducing quality, marketing, more marketing, dishonest marketing, dark UX patterns, planned obsolescence, vendor lock-in, increasingly complicated business modes. Now the kicker is, once somebody uses one of those "dark" approaches to get ahead, everyone else is forced to follow suit or risk getting outcompeted.
Thanks in no part to JavaScript turning the web into a platform for adware and spyware.
Thanks, I just did some searching and found that this was added in February 2018 - I think I gave up on my project in 2017 so it now looks like I could program something like what I wanted. I still have the source code so that's nice.

However I'm just thinking of getting rid of my Alexa devices anyway - I was discussing political events with my partner last night, spotted the Alexa device light up (I think I said "a letter") and noticed shortly after that I was moderating my speech and not referencing controversial topics. I later just set it on mute.
I don't find Swedes so reluctant to speak about salaries anymore, I think it has changed the last 10 years or so. Maybe this is just my reflections as a Swede though. I mean, your income tax return is public information so if someone wants to get a good idea on what other people maybe, it is really not that hard to look it up if you really want.

I currently live and work in Germany and I know that here it is much more tight lipped, it might even be a fireable offense for you to talk about your salary, which might explain why people don't really talk about it.

You say that as if bit rot is the black plague of data storage. In the past 20 years I have encountered 'bit rot' with NTFS... not once. I have encountered bad blocks and replaced drives once in a while by monitoring SMART status, which probably prevented the rot. It is definitely great to have protection against it, but to call other features window dressing when others have used them more often than they thought of checksumming feature is not objectively fair.

No I don't (can't) avoid everything hosted on AWS. That's RMS-level commitment. I just don't use them in my work or for projects, and I don't use their marketplace.

OpenGL actually had support for color index rendering. See glIndexi(), glClearIndex(), etc. I think it was primarily used for hardware overlay planes on graphics systems like RealityEngine.
I know how loved Debian has been for the community and all that has been built on it but as a user I kind of always felt that Debian was always doing their own thing, at their own pace and their own requirements. Maybe this is a sign that that way of running a Linux community is over? We really have a fairly robust ecosystem and development has become much more refined? I might be missing the inner politics of the community that has caused this?

8-13 hours of deep work are unsustainable on most jobs. My problem with breaking day in half is that deep work tends to require some runway; 3.5 hours is not much if you account for the time it takes to achieve full concentration.
As a non-pilot as well, it is a crazy situation.

My understanding is when you can’t trust your instruments, you set a certain level of power and pitch and you’ll know you’ll be ok. The plane will keep flying.

This guy is pulling back hard on the stick the entire time. I don’t think many pilots would ever think “this is the appropriate thing to do in this situation.”

Show HN: Yazz – Build Interactive Prototypes in Minutes
My reason: I want to create things that other people can run on their own for ~free and scale with usage. Services that can spin down to 0 (or under a free tier) are ideal. Examples: Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, Cloudflare DNS.

If you have to pay $5 for Cloudflare Workers, $5 for some more page rules, $13 for your (light usage) Postgres instance, $7.50 for your t3.micro, you're already at $30/mo baseline and you're not close to high availability.
Instead of targeting a specific company why not prohibit the use case you don’t like? Otherwise I have to agree with others that this seems retributive and childish.

I'm gen-X, and work freelance for banks mostly. After every project I decide to do something other than a bank this time, and every time I end up at another bank. They pay well and they're not all that bad, really. Not as great as the most fun places I've worked, but not as bad as the worst places I worked.

Before I freelanced, I often had multiple job offers to choose from, and regularly went for the lowest pay because it seemed like the most interesting opportunity. None of those were ever banks though. And my current project at a bank is more interesting than all of those others.

The only real downside is that I don't walk around in flip-flops and shorts in summer. Other than that they're fine.
To add to your hypothesis - making a change to the fly-by-wire system was probably much cheaper than making airframe changes to make the aircraft more neutral in flight (airframe changes which would likely also negatively affect fuel economy).

So Boeing took the cheap rout and decided to have the computer handle the pitch-up tendencies of the aircraft...

This kind of fix is quite common on fighter aircraft which are purposely designed to not be neutral/stable in flight for better handling characteristics (among many other reasons).

I have no idea how common this kind of fix is on a passenger aircraft.
I need to figure out where to order one of these.

Firstly, let's note that the cause of the Ethiopian Airlines crash has not yet been determined.

In the case of the Lion Air crash, the problem was not that the crew were unaware of the airplane's attitude (it was daylight in good weather, and they also had functioning airspeed indicators), it was that the control system kept resetting the longitudinal trim incorrectly in response to a faulty angle-of-attack sensor, and the crew did not follow the procedure to disable it from doing so.
That won't work, since Amazon reworks and modifies applications to work as SaaS, like Kinesis:Kafka.. And then Amazon never upstreams any changes they find. So Non-A GPL licenses allow companies a free pass for SaaS.

With the AGPL, if Amazon makes a change, they MUST make source available. No ifs, ands, or buts.
There are better choices for a historical scientist, such as Newton, Darwin, Bacon or Dalton.

What would you have to believe to think that Sam didn't make YC better? What evidence do you have to think that?

During his tenure, YC got much bigger, funds many more startups per year, has made initial seed funding much more available, and perhaps most importantly, planted in the heads of many more people that it is even possible to start a startup.

In a very real sense, the president owns much of the success and failure during their tenure. I'd say YC has become an increasing relevant player and that that relevance is overwhelmingly good for hackers.
It seems likely that no human decision resulted in this move. Instead, the take down may have been automated due to the used of the FB logo in the ad. If Warren's campaign knew this policy of such removal existed, then the entire setup was just that- a setup. The ad was placed in bad faith, but there was no bad faith self-interest on the part of FB in taking it down, just the appearance of such.
