I'm surprised that an article like this does not mention the long history of religious-revolutionary movements in China. Just a few:

0184 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Turban_Rebellion

1351 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Turban_Rebellion

1794 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Lotus_Rebellion

These rebellions usually have a frame story of an ancient way of life founded on people's harmony with nature and one another. Because the government operates at variance with this harmony, the government is not legitimate and must be replaced.

Francis Fukuyama talks at length about the "Mandate of Heaven" concept and its impact on legitimacy in China in his recent books.

We haven't seen anything either way. Even the allegation that it's the MCAS system is totally unconfirmed to the public.
The US spending so much on European security allows Europe to have stronger social safety nets and many European style programs without significantly stressing their budgets. As you noted, spending is not in line with other nations on a per GDP basis.

The trade is the US foots the bill but gets bases (geopolitical control) out of it. Europe gets protection which they would normally have to pay for.

While currently things are strained, historically this has been an amicable relationship where both sides got what they wanted. Perhaps this will change in the future, but that is the context.
I'm 30, just graduated in a computational science field, got a baby. I could "do" FIRE just from my savings from the last 10 years, thanks to the great social system in my central European country. Due to the baby, I stayed at home almost two years, so I want to work now, fill my lifetime with something useful. I don't even plan to retire even if I'm rich -- and I don't indend to get rich. I don't get this FIRE trend....

Do we have a confirmed source that it can't be override by pilot input? My understanding was that using the stick could overcome it with other control surfaces and that the controls for trim can be set/reset by the pilot.

I think Boeing has handled the aftermath (and much of the lead up since the release of the plane) very, very poorly. I, as a layman to aviation, am not willing to bet that Boeing knew the true likelihood of a problem and didn't tell anyone or had a whistle blower over it.

However, if the issue with a non-redundant hydraulic value in the original 737 didn't teach us the lesson, this should: no matter the likelihood of failure, safety critical systems should always be redundant.

(Also, Boeing didn't handle that original issue very well either.)

I see many (likely realtors) defending the fees & the larger model. Here is some back of envelop math I once did to put it in perspective:

according to Bob Shiller (of case/shiller fame) it has historically taken about 30 years of work to own a house in steady markets. now on an average people move houses once every 7 years due to labor mobility/family/etc reasons. so roughly 4 housing buy/sell transactions in an average persons life. assuming 7% commisions (~9% if you include both buyer and seller plus origination as you are often both when you move). so essentially you end up with .93^4 or ~75%. which means you've worked 25% of your life for your realtor(s).

Now do you think the commissions are worth it? IM[NSH]O its total BS, at best their work is fixed commission especially in the booming & super expensive markets like sf bayarea.
Fortunately PC Building Simulator is now a game
The fault doesn't lie with the engineers who built the system...not to mention I would be very surprised if they were professionally certified.

It lies with the managers who wrote the specification that said that for business reasons the new plane must not require any additional training or type certifications, and cut costs by implementing the required systems with a non-redundant sensor.
For what it's worth, I'd love to pay for something like this. I hope you guys win the internet, as long as privacy is at your core.
Just as certain as everyone else on HN that knows it's all Boeing's fault.

> We didn't evolve to be always connected and busy.

But that doesn't necessarily mean we spent more time in solitude. A lot of tribes spend most of their time near one another rather than being off alone.

We're incredibly social animals and if anything I'd say that what we're lacking right now is genuine connection to others rather than mere abstract words on a screen or from a podcast.
Partly my point. Plenty if internet experts to go around.

> RMS is pretty consistently clear that software intended to be upgraded by the end user must be free. Software/firmware that is not intended to ever be changed or upgraded by the end user is more or less the same as circuitry and outside the scope of the Free Software movement.

That seems somewhat circular in definition on the edges. I can and have updated firmware on hard-drives (always opaque binary blobs from the vendor, but definitely changes, updates, and bug fixes not directly analogous to circuitry).
I don't claim to be an expert, but my understanding is that Alpine is mainly focused on small size, so musl libc, lack of systemd, etc, are means to that end.

Void seems to be more focused on power user experience, in the vein of Gentoo / Arch. So glibc or musl as an option, lack of systemd, and a pacman-like package manager (xbps) are all means to that end.

Alpine gets lots of usage as a Docker base layer due to that small size. Void certainly could be used as a Docker base image, but that's much less common than Alpine because the image sizes are probably roughly comparable to Debian and when running in a container the systemd vs not-systemd choice becomes less relevant.
What do you mean by "at the forefront of counter-terror forces"? Like, they haven't been the most serious threat? Or are a strange new threat?
5 years is about as long as a console generation usually lasts, and this has less of a buy-in cost than either PC or console gaming.

You are correct. And if two crews in 5 months had the same issue either identifying or dealing with the same problem, then perhaps there is an design or training problem error here.
Another way of looking at this this is that society has lost sight of the forest for the trees in its desire to impede criminals.

So what's the point? You could always install a different browser and search engine, and that really isn't so difficult that an average user couldn't figure it out. I'm all for combating anticompetitive practices but this really doesn't look like one. This just gives me a "users are idiots" vibe.
People jokes about dead. People jokes about sex. People jokes about anything. On the contrast, if some group of vulnerable people are in some protected zone that cannot be joke around, then it is in fact the society does not accept those people are the same as other people. It is a kind of positive discrimination. I mean, putting anything too far is bad.

And do the speaker insult people with PTSD? If no, then why being triggered, specifically if you don't have PTSD?
Definitely not for search engine, since Apple isn't a potential monopolist in that market. Possibly not for browser either, depending on how popular EU competition authorities think a browser/OS pairing needs to be before looking askance at the cross-promotion.
Regarding the Java notes in the article, the announcement of Java 12 today had this:

"The Alpine Linux build previously available on this page was removed as of JDK 12 GA. It’s not production-ready because it hasn’t been tested thoroughly enough to be considered a GA build. Please use the early-access JDK 13 Alpine Linux build in its place."
Notably, Graal has been used extensively by TruffleRuby for a while now. It's not oficially ready for prime time but definitely promising.
that sounds like the engineers are at fault for not refusing to stamp the thing.

Outside of a very few areas of the country. There is more than enough housing inventory for people not to pay over the appraised value of the house. Most people are smart enough not to be upside down on their home the day they move in.

If you have good credit you can still get 100% LTV loans. Heck you only have to have a 600 credit score and not have had a foreclosure in 3 years to get a government back FHA loan with 3.5% down.

There are plenty of people who did “strategic defaults” on multiple properties after 2008, rented for three years and got an FHA loan for a new mortgage (ask me how I know).
LI is so strict with its rules and data usage generally. I wish they would fight hard to cut back on the obvious spam. Ruins the experience and makes it harder to sell its use to job seeker clients.
Haha agreed. I'm generally not in favor of regulation, but sadly this does seem to show that it can be effective. Google could have done this before but chose not to. Clearly they don't really believe their own PR, or else they'd institute it worldwide.
Facebook moderation is badly broken. After pressure from governments,they seem to have been revising a significant number of reports that they previously closed as being non-infringing.

The purpose of open source may not making money.
And maybe most of the open source developers are not good at making money.
But if there is a infrastructure to help the developers to get money through their open source software, and still keep the open source free for personal learn and use, that will be fan.
I don’t think it’s clear if it is a single point of failure or if a faulty sensor is just one precondition.
Over that 20 years, C# has been continuously improved with language features added at a faster rate than Java. Some examples:
* properties
* LINQ
* async/await
* dynamic types
* better generics
* inferred typing - `var`
* null conditional operators
* custom iterators - `yield`
* pattern matching

Also, .net is more of a “pit of success” language — Java with all its legacy baggage requires a lot more knowledge to avoid mistakes.

"Which interface to the Webkit/Blink browser technology do you want?"

"Which provider of Google Search results do you want?"

I will cheekily assume Microsoft are still craftily getting Google search queries into Bing somehow. And that Duck Duck Go, Ecosia, Yahoo and everything else are dipping into the Google goodness.

The EU should build their own search engine and browser. That is what is happening in places like Russia and China where they don't want to be reliant on Silicon Valley.

It seems silly to be not view information search and presentation of web pages as a strategic thing in this day and age, particularly when there is Five Eyes snooping in.

nobody's going to use a phone that isn't supported by applications. In fact every application provided by developers to the apple ecosystem increases the marginal value of the phone.

The sheer number of times I've had issues with Windows drivers is anecdotal, but consider carefully. I've had impossible to boot systems because the network driver isn't included in the core installation media. I've had video cards not work out of the box and require me to install massively bloated control centers to use. And the number of complaints from unexpected reboots? And that's in a pretty standardized computer lab, trying to make my Grandma's computer use the correct resolution on her monitor was literally impossible.

I guess it depends on how you define laymen? I think Ubuntu worked out of the box with everything I've thrown at it in years.

Not sure why the obsession with OS size. I don't mind having a 1GB OS that has really good functionality vs a 50MB one that has none. I do want size to be a factor for server based images which is a different beast altogether.
Even Adwords, their supposed jewel in the crown, has the worst customer support I've ever experienced.

Have you ever tried contacting them? It's all offshored to India/Phillipines. They refused to honour their GSuite free credit offer, then hung up on me when I insisted they escalate the problem. The difference between their outbound sales lines and their inbound support lines are laughable.

I assume it's better when you're pumping hundreds of thousands through them every month. Even so, it inspires zero confidence in Google as a customer-facing organization.

As far as I'm concerned, Google gives zero fucks about individual paying customers. It's obvious why this is so - their search ecosystem is leagues ahead of competitors, and it's so dominant that it's a licence to print money. They don't need to offer you good support, because you need them.

It's also why I don't hold out much hope for Stadia - an ecosystem that relies on developer goodwill needs excellent front-facing support, and Google just doesn't do that.

As a side note, I truly believe Amazon is well positioned to invade search and dethrone Google (though it would be a case of "The King is dead. Long live the King!").
If you're a low-level employee, it means someone who hooks up Jenkins to other crap. If you're a manager, it's a position you're hiring for. If you're upper management or executive, it's a methodology to solve business problems and improve output. If you're C-level, it's a cool buzz word.
From my point-of-view, two opinion points:

1. I am glad that 737 MAX has been grounded. May it stay that way, globally, until this issue is provably resolved.

2. The entire Boeing chain of management that resulted in these crashes should be publicly flogged, their remuneration & benefits clawed back & subject to a mandatory minimum prison sentence.

Who the hell am I kidding! Neither is very likely to happen in the present day US. Carry on then, I guess. Just make sure to sign your Last Will & Testament before taking that next flight.

>safety critical systems should always be redundant.

That's east to say from an armchair but on an aircraft everything is "safety critical" to some extent and you have to choose what gets redundancy. Something where without it you can't fly the plane sure, that make sense. The argument for considering MCAS, a system which is not necessary to fly the plane safely, to be "safety critical" is much weaker. The Lion Air crash wouldn't have happened had the pilots disabled MCAS instead of fighting it into the drink.
Complexity is the fig leaf for the majority of modern evil- in the USA at least.

It's too complex to understand! too complex to make a judgement.

Agree— the justification given in the article is needing the environment set up in order to port some software to it, but you don't need a development environment for that, only a build environment. Using containers or even just a chroot (https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Installing_Alpine_Linux_in...) would be far more straight forward.

Now, if you want to try native Alpine as your desktop just for the fun of it, that's fine, but it's going to be a pretty constrained environment, and may not have been worth the several hours it took to get it going.
That's my concern too. I'm surprised Apple hasn't made hard drives and/or eGPU enclosures that are meant to stack with the mini.
There is a reasonable argument that competition for worker and increased wealth in the society also created these conditions.
Why would Mastodon or Pixelfed need users who give up that easily? Those most probably won't be good citizens anyway and they would not post and create content because it's too complicated.
