We could argue about this (technically, you are not wrong) but the point is, the aircraft MCAS should be able to do this robustly with available sensor data.*

Without going into a lengthy analysis... you can infer AoA from groundspeed, rate of climb/descent, pitch/yaw/roll, and position feedback of control surfaces. Recent information on these data points can be used to calculate present and near future flight dynamics. The fields of Kalman filtering, adaptive control, and optimal control as applied to aerospace engineering are decades old.

There are many examples where adaptive flight controls can fly an aircraft that has inherently unstable flight dynamics... In fact most modern jet fighter require computer controlled flight controls to maintain stable flight.

Applying these algorithms to an airliner for sensor truth'ing is a cake walk.

* I think you actually can infer situational AoA from ground speed and altitude data:
An example you could build a regression model of standard take-off scenarios and using recent groundspeed, altitude change, and the rate of change of (groundspeed/altitude). You could build this off of flight test data and simulation.
In practice, there may be no point to doing this because a wealth of additional flight sensor information is available.
The cancer arm of the World Health Organization has some serious concerns about some of Americans’ favorite foods. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies processed meat as a carcinogen, something that causes cancer. And it classifies red meat as a probable carcinogen, something that probably causes cancer.

Depending on how you interpret those terms (that is, if you choose a very specific definition of each), possibly. What I means is that free speech is meant to protect everyone from other people's differing opinions on what is and isn't acceptable in a cultural sense.

If you're "for free speech as long as it's accepted within my culture" then you're not for free speech. I did clarify a bit in my original comment what I was going for though.
This is a huge unmet need in the market. I have over 300 guitar parts recorded into iOS Music Memos, which does a decent job of automating the break out of chords played but provides no way to build lyrics on top, note the tabs (which is HUGE, because the next day I always get foggy on how to play what I recorded and a month later have no idea...)

Excited to give this a red hot go!
Unions have no interest in bringing own the firm. That would be bad for everybody. Unions have an interest in a healthy company. Their job is to represent their members to ensure employees are fairly compensated for fair work.

How this works out in practice is that many industries, including the government, have very well-defined rules about compensation, which jobs go with which salary, how healthy working conditions need to be, and under what circumstances you can be fired. People can absolutely be fired, just not arbitrarily on a whim.

So yeah, compared to the way some American unions and companies seem to work according to people in this discussion, the difference is very big.
Speaking as someone with Asperger's, the idea that the disorder would be a "modern invention" or like a thing invented by Nazis is completely ludicrous. It's on the same level as claiming homosexuality is a life-style choice. :)

One of the main difficulties for me is determining closeness of relationships. Like a distance metric; close relatives being closer than friends which are closer than acquaintances which in turn are closer than unknowns and enemies are very far away. I have never been able to understand how that distance metric works and therefore been unable to distinguish between friends and foes. Autism is not an evolutionary adaptation. It could be a remnant from the Neanderthal genome, as some scientists suggests, as that species were less group-oriented than Homo Sapiens.
It's doing alright. Pays for its server bill, so I'm happy about that :)
>Its such a slippery slope from censorship of bad websites to moving to censorship of good websites that the government does not like.

Is it really, though, or do people just like the slippery slope fallacy a bit too much?

Does everyone really think that if a government bans 4chan, no one and nothing is going to stop them from banning everything else because there's precedent now and nothing can be done? That's not how societies or governments tend to work.
> Yes, and we shouldn’t put at-grade highways through the middle of city neighborhoods

We generally don't. Arterial roads—what was being discussed—are typically between neighborhoods forming a widely-spaced network, from which a dense network of smaller roads branch off which are the roads “through the middle of city neighborhoods”.

That's what the word “arterial” means.
While I'm excited at the all the possibility that lab grown meats can provide - ethically produced meat, less environmental impact, "cleaner" food - my judgement will have to be reserved until after leave scale production begins. What the definition of "clean meat" is today may not be what I agree with tomorrow.
I did just remember that C# has value-type data structures (which last I checked, Java didn't) which probably helps a lot. Most objects can probably be kept on the stack, and objects on the stack don't need to be garbage collected.
This. The experience was good enough for most people even for AirPod Gen 1. Battery needs improvement though, and I am sure AirPod 2 will be even better in Audio Quality and ease of use.

And hopefully someday the cost and prices of AirPod will be much lower or even included with iPhone.

The easiest one is tombstones (i.e. "this item is deleted") to keep the chain alive, or backshifting (i.e. moving all items in the chain forward one slot).

Only 7 Black Students Got into Stuyvesant, N.Y.’S Most Selective High School
You are mischaracterizing the discussion. The builds and testing should be done in an environment that matches production, and macOS does not match any production server environment available today. Developing on Macs is frequently done on the MacOS itself because it’s Unix so people think it’s close enough. Once you use a VM for the builds and testing, then it doesn’t matter.
That's some interesting "logic"
I think hotel zoning should be loosened and maybe some of the regs.

There's clearly demand.

I don't buy the idea hotels are disruptive, in my urban community there are zero, but tons of commercial space there'd be no problem at all with one across the street.

In fact, it'd be good for business. Tons of offices, zero hotel space. Not good.

Some innovation in management i.e. no checkin, cleaner only come when you've gone, etc. etc. and we might get some material efficiencies.
> from where?

Given that the import paths are URL-ish, I personally find it fairly obvious where things are coming from - far more so than any other language/dependency manager I've worked with. That's something unchanged with go modules vs GOPATH.

A person who makes an important contribution to science can still say stupid and dangerous things.

I appreciate Andrew Odlyzko’s contributions to cs, but this paper is not one of them. It is a fine example of the evolution security nihilism in its final, tenured form.
Skymind (YC W16) raises $11.5M to bring deep learning to more enterprises
Marine friend said if there's a shooter, charge them. Most people aren't trained to handle it. Throw something at them and run at them. If even 5 people had attacked this guy at once, he would have been taken down and many people saved.

This guy maybe was trained... but who knows, 10 people fighting for their lives of their families and kids would be scary to face.
I disagree on videos. Hiring videos in my experience always end up as very cultish and uncomfortable feeling. If I see a video I do not apply, I assume more people are like me.
Most of the work over the past decade on dynamic language JITs (especially JS) really just builds on top of the work on the Self JIT in the mid-80s. JITs themselves are older still.
Reading the article reveals that you can either use tombstones or move the elements back into the slot they "would have been in" if the deleted element was never added
Or, the other option... don't buy property that has these rules in place and you'll never have the problem. It's not like these rules pop up randomly - you have to sign condo/HOA docs as part of the closing process.
As a bit of an aside, has anyone noticed that 4chan is not using HTTPS lately? I assume it's due to the new ownership. Does anyone have more info?
Could you elaborate? There are multiple mutually-exclusive ways I can interpret your comment.
Cool thanks! It's exciting to run into an inexpensive LTE modem that can come in an easy to use package to use for stuff like this.

If you get to a point where you've learned some interesting things and generated documentation/video/etc send me a note on Twitter (@ borgel). Might make a good Hackaday writeup!
I used to live in a flat where I was the only permanent resident on the floor and the rest were Airbnbs. My life was hell while I lived there.
I don't think most people realise what a massive negative impact these places have on the people living near by. Even if you are a good guest you may not think you are having a negative impact but you are.

I think tourists have to understand that when they use Airbnb they are giving a massive middle finger to the locals. You do not have a right to a cheap holiday and it should not come at the expense of those just trying to live their lives.

This was in Hong Kong if anyone was wondering so all the America specific issues don't apply.
This is exactly the LAMBDASCHOOL model.

I fully support more attempts to spread this out! Competition is good!
> The 17.6% APR is in case of a success

If making $40k/year is "success". With your $6k payment on the $40k you made, your $34k is barely above the poverty line.

> Seems well worth the greatly reduced risk!

No, it doesn't. Just seems like a 300% repayment rate. I bet the number of software jobs starting under $40k is in the bottom 5%, maybe 1% of job listings. So, you're basically only mitigating risk if you can't find a job.
It comes down to this issue of whether or not more housing is available. In New York, there's effectively a finite cap on housing, so you can't just say "well buy somewhere else". Pricing caps and assistance programs make sense there, but those also come with less ability to control your neighborhood.

When there's tons of cheap housing available, then having small areas with expensive pricing isn't per se a problem (but could be an issue in context, say a small midwestern town excluding black people from buying houses by over-inflating prices.)
No problem, that's clear. My comment was addressed to the submitter. Your original submission and your comments in this thread are 100% fine.
I believe parent's question was: Yes, you will have different repo names. But there is sub version pinning. i.e. The first patch of v1.2.3 is called v1.2.3.1 (or v1.2.3-1 or something). Then the repo itself will evolve, and keep publishing v1.2.3-2, v1.2.3-4 and so on.

Patched versions are "sub" versions of the main version, and those sub versions also keep evolving for the same upstream version.
I'll be the competitor.

We will pay you to learn to code, then place you on projects for real clients. They will then have the option to hire you within 6 months. It's outsourcing cross training. (We'll have a few senior devs to mentor the teams, and we'll hire an exec or three involved in government contracting to give ourselves multiple options.)

AFAIK an important factor to get good performance out of a hash table is to dimension the table so that collisions are rare. In this scenario it's not too surprising that the additional cost of sometimes having to iterate through the table beats chasing pointers.

Furthermore as the article explains they can use SIMD to search several buckets at once, something that wouldn't really be possible if they didn't exist in contiguous memory.
> (Organ players have to deal with that kind of latency on their instrument[1], but it's a hard skill to learn, and limits the music that can be performed on the instrument. Say, following a drummer is out of the question.)

I suppose following a metronome instead of the drum isn't practical/possible ?
"As a keyboard player, I can tell you that anything over 10ms latency noticeably degrades the experience."

Which explains why unless I missed some new development, there's no way professional music can be played live on any Android based product. By music I mean music, not triggering prerecorded loops, a thing which could be done on a 50+ years old Mellotron as well. I'm 100% sure Java is to blame: low latency and virtual machines don't mix well.
This varies not with the size of the whole hash table, but with the distance from any given index to the first empty bucket. By keeping the load factor constant, you can grow the hash table as much as you want without degrading the expected performance.
I would not call $40k/year a well-paying software job.
It is still $160 for the airpods, and $200 if you want wireless charging. Tapping the Airpod, uou still have 2 controls vs. the 5 with an inline mic. You can almost say 3 controls since pulling one out of your ear acts as play/pause.

Mine were a gift, but I'll likely drop $160 on a set in the future if these crap out in a year or two.

About once a week, I used to get my wire snagged and it would sometimes yank my phone out of my pocket. Luckily it was on carpet and I had a case on it so there wasn't any damage.

More importantly, the convenience has been well worth it. Even if I'm just saving 30s a day untangling, that is worth the price to me over a few years. Throw in being able to sleep with one pod in and my phone plugged in across the room and this has might be my favorite and most used gadget of the past few years.
Not regularly. But one interesting function I had with it was when I cant locate my phone in my home. I just shout out "Hey Siri" and I can tell by its answer where about it is. It may sound silly but there are countless times when I am about to leave home in a hurry and I cant find my phone. Normally I could have been extremely frustrated and spend minutes looking for it. Now it is just there within a voice command.
> what they think is offensive.

This is not a a daily instance of "he says", "she says" offensiveness. This is an act of terror, and these platform served as a propaganda media which ought to stopped.

Nice to see a declarative approach, though. It certainly looks more natural. I'm certainly going to give it a try.
I mean those are your cream of the crop type candidates i'm assuming not a person who just got pumped out of a 12 week bootcamp. I would assume < 10% of people with no experience entering the field get 100k+. Even 10% might be a large number.
> I explicitly don't want outside connections to be made directly to arbitrary machines inside my LAN.

That's exactly what a firewall is for.
I am assuming you are using Airpod with an Android phone. Is there any drawback of this? Any feature that works only with iPhone?
NAT is not a firewall. IPv6 doesn't need NAT.
I really wish one of these VR headsets allowed direct use as a display without their special drivers, and provided tracking data without using their SDK.
People have been making bad decisions since the dawn of time.
Wait for Valve's headset coming out later this year. Direct competitor to the Rift S, with higher resolution, 135 degree vision, and knuckles controllers that let you open and close your hand naturally. You'll be glad you did.
Oh I see, thanks. I'm on my phone about to go to a meeting and haven't had a chance to read the article yet.
Interesting hardware. Remains to be seen if it can really run standard operating systems. How can a sysadmin manage it if he cannot have access inside?

> HOAs don't block purchases by particular people

HOAs no longer are able to do that directly (even though naked racial discrimination was actually central to the original purpose of HOAs and the covenants which give life to them), but they continue to enforce cultural standards that are designed particularly to enforce the behavior preferred by a particular subculture and exclude others.
Interesting take from a friend overseas who is into a lot of Security and Data Surveillance.

Me: So, what do you think about Google's Confidential Mode settings? Are you going to use it in your company?

Friend: It is one of the topics heavily debated right now. Especially by our management.

Me: Is that so? Why?

Friend: Lots of legal implications that needs to be addressed.

Me: How about you? What's your take?

Friend: Well, for a start, given Google's history of surveillance, this type of enhancement only just gives them more power and capability to focus on information that are being deemed sensitive by an individual or an organization.

Me: You think so?

Friend: Absolutely. Imagine if this person sends out approximately 100 emails in a day, and marks 5 of them as sensitive or confidential or whatever terms you would like. Google can then sequence the emails to track based on the confidentiality that was set forth on it.

Me: Never thought of things in that perspective.

Friend: Yes. Further to that, they could then add more focus on confidential emails which would have a very specific expiry dates. This becomes more specific to their focus, where they can direct their resources specifically on this.

Me: (Intently listening)....

Friend: It's like this. Assume you have boxes in your house. Each box contains different stuff. Some box may contain your cash, or jewelry or any other important stuff. Now, you have a burglar going inside your house. With a 100 boxes, they would certainly only spend a couple of time to rummage through the boxes. If they can only open 5 boxes, with the possibility of those boxes containing nothing but garbage, then the burglars are not successful in getting your prized stuff. Now imagine having those boxes labeled with stuff like 'MONEY', 'JEWELRY', 'CONFIDENTIAL', 'IMPORTANT TO DISPOSE BY DATE YYYY-MM-DD', etc. Doesn't that give the burglar an easier way to run through the boxes? This eliminates for them wasting on boxes that may have no importance at all.

Me: That is certainly a possibility if you would think of it.

Even though such scenario may be far-fetched from a corporate (Google for Business) standpoint, it is still worthy of a discussion. IMHO.
Had some fun with "it's not quite (g)libc" recently related to:

https://github.com/golang/go/issues/22846

Static binaries are fun, but bringing a libc replacement... Can be surprising.

My trouble was with split-horizon networking, and gitlab-runner (which is a nice self-contained go program). But not so nice if your firewall, dns and internal/external ips disagree. Thankfully we could remap some fw rules, so avoided the need for split-horizon host resolution via /etc/hosts (the other alternative being full split-horizon dns).
Exactly. For example, if you're (still) using Spring MVC, what gets called in your backend on a given action attribute in your JSP or Thymeleaf or whatever template, is expressed through your method signature and lots of annotations where the order of arguments matter eg. some magic attributes must come right after others. All you see in your debugger, though, is that your request hangs in some nested and chained handler and reflection monstrosity driven by annotations and who knows what. Took multiple developers a day or two to figure out, each on their own.

It's not that Spring is badly coded or something, I just don't need these surprises and the magical thinking surrounding newbie Spring Boot projects.
There was never a /news/ "back then", it was created in 2015 and is a text board. There was only /new/ and /new/ and /pol/ never co-existed. /pol/ was created after /new/ was removed because moot was sick of /new/ going constantly off-topic with racism and bigotry. The decision was made to more or less cease moderation of /new/, rename it to /pol/, and use it as a containment board.

Also people need to realize chan culture. Each board may as well be its own website. 4chan hosts /pol/, it also hosts /lgbt/. 4chan's moderation (rather, lack of) is being seen as an issue because of how heavily moderated the internet has become in the past 20 years.

Reddit, the "bastion of free speech", bans every subreddit that gets in the way of advertisement money, giving Voat more popularity. 4chan, "a bastion of free speech", banned #Gamergate discussion which gave 8chan its rise to popularity.

I'd rather have extremists on Reddit and 4chan where they can be debated and talked down to by moderates than on Voat and 8chan where they can form echo chambers. Echo chambers are a lot better at recruitment. Pushing "bad people" away where they are out of sight and out of mind hasn't been solving the problem, it has only been making it worse year over year.

Why Standard Time Is Better
I agree with the content of your message but shouting “fire” in a crowded theater is actually free speech (or at least, only not free speech under an outdated legal standard). It was used as a hypothetical to represent speech creating “clear or present danger” in the Schenk vs. US case and was later overturned in Brandenburg v. Ohio. After that case, speech must be directly inciting certain unlawful or violent action to not be free speech (under the model of creating harm, this isn’t the only model and free speech is essentially case specific, e.g. free speech is different for a government employee vs. a student at a state college vs. an urban professional at a private company). Free speech is honestly pretty sweeping and I always find conversations about free speech on tech platforms really disingenuous because most people usually have no idea what the legal standard is and don’t really separate government and corporate moderation of speech.
> Someone convince me not to

OK, I'll take a shot (using the simplest argument I have access to, without trying to sell you on something fundamentally different): the Oculus Quest, which uses the same controllers but isn't tethered to a PC and is coming out in the same "Spring 2019" timeframe, seems to be even higher resolution and also costs only $400 ;P... (edit) oh, and AFAIK the Quest will have mechanical IPD adjustment, a feature the Rift S apparently lacks (?!?), which is frankly an absolute requirement if you have a head that isn't exactly the average-sized head (I find the experience using the Oculus Go, which also lacks this feature, entirely unusable for even a couple minutes due to the distortion and blur, whereas I happily will spend hours inside of a Vive).
