> AFAIK, the FAA, like many regulating bodies take everything at face value, making sure they are not getting lied to isn't their jobs.

I don't think this is accurate whatsoever. USDA has inspections all the time, they don't just check a report you file with them and go "Oh yeah, they know what they're doing over there." Similar with other industries.

If a regulatory body doesn't validate the tests of a manufacturer, what good is that body?

The problem is the level of debate in society in general, and in particular when it comes to political economy. The debate is basically non-existent.

You don't get it in Congress/Senate/Parliament. You don't get it on the news channels. You sometimes - very rarely - still get it on the radio.

I want to see two people with opposing views debate a single issue for 2-3 hours, without being allowed to evade answering a question. Would happily pay a subscription fee to get that.
Just a reminder that Stripe's CEO is Jack Dorsey (aka the CEO of Twitter). For people who take ethics into account when choosing where to work this may be something you want to factor in.

I'm a heavy user of the Twitter web and iPhone clients, and I'm not sure what you mean by "live updates" tab. Is that something in TweetDeck or another client?

If you (or parent poster ~TheTruth1234) found this unwanted, wouldn't unfollowing or blocking the source accounts be an adequate remedy?

(It is a embarrassing mess, but par for Twitter's lackadaisical approach software quality, that Twitter web often ignores their own settings' "don't autoplay" toggle, and has for many months.)
It's articles like this (and people using them as "proof") that has made me become extremely skeptical of any "the science shows" claim, on any topic, because when I do the legwork to hunt down "the science" behind claims I read, at least half of the time it's not actually saying what is being subsequently claimed, or lacks certainty, etc.

It would be interesting to know how much of broad society's decrease in trust of experts (so they say) is related to this phenomenon. Not much I imagine.
How is the flooding related to climate change? Seems like 'climate change' is now a catchall bucket for unexpected weather, regardless of being too hot or too cold.
As a Chicago native, I can definitely see a case for like a north-south suburban Metra line, being potentially amazing. But our rail system primarily piggybacks on freight lines which all are concerned about going to/from Chicago proper.

I don't feel buses are nearly as productive because of traffic. There are some nifty routes around Chicago where buses are allowed to drive the shoulder in traffic jams, and hence, do better than cars on travel time, but the north-south suburban expressway doesn't have that arrangement.

> The one thing you learn in high level science is that nobody really knows what they're talking about, paradigms shift, and further study is required.

High level science is on the borders of vast body of scientific knowledge. It's only to be expected that people who work there don't know much about the things they try to figure out. What they know a whole lot about is the foundation of that vast body of scientific knowledge they try to build new understanding upon.

Nobody expects reverence at high levels of science. But a little bit of reverence for scientfic method and for what vast knowledge science was able to establish without a dubt so far would be nice.

Established science is not what's in the news. It's mostly what's in the textbooks. News pretty much broke the public relationship towards science.

And yet with their app you have to watch commercials and "funding provided" by the fossil-fuels industry, i.e., the Koch brothers. They should divest from dirty money too.
I would suggest, first and foremost:

- Don't read the comments. If you are on FB/HN/Reddit, you are not coming across news organically, but rather from a feed that is based on a black box of votes and engagement metrics. You open the comments thinking you'll be talking to people with a broad range of views, and that will rarely happen.

- Comments on political topics are doubly exhausting to consume, as you are processing not just the article's thesis, but also the volume of comments, many of which are often phrased in a "Debate me!" way, that's not conducive to learning something new or changing your viewpoint on something.

- Slow, long form news >> live feed news. Internet browsing has changed as the medium adapted to consumption of news on mobile. Everything is excessively short so its easily consumable and (ugh) shareable, and the trickle of articles with limited net-new information makes you think you need to be online all the time to keep up. You don't. Subscribe to a newspaper and read the daily edition at your leisure. With the daily edition you'll get a discrete amount of content that's time-bounded, whereas the web edition has no beginning and no end, and can feel impossible to keep up with.
The tracker I have doesn't have any kind of location capabilities, and only tracks certain kinds of events like acceleration rates and speed. So basically as long as you keep it under 85mph and don't slam on the brakes or the accelerator frequently, you get the full discount.

> According to a detailed FAA briefing to legislators, Boeing will change the MCAS software to give the system input from both angle-of-attack sensors.

> It will also limit how much MCAS can move the horizontal tail in response to an erroneous signal. And when activated, the system will kick in only for one cycle, rather than multiple times.

> Boeing also plans to update pilot training requirements and flight crew manuals to include MCAS.

> These proposed changes mirror the critique made by the safety engineers in this story. They had spoken to The Seattle Times before the Ethiopian crash.

> The FAA said it will mandate Boeing’s software fix in an airworthiness directive no later than April.

After the fixes are implemented I wouldn't worry too much about it. Lots of planes have had terrible design flaws that were fixed. The pre-MAX 737 included.
This article is very lengthy and detailed, so eventually I gave up on trying to find in it any evidence (in the form of e.g. actual quotes from the SCOTUS decision -- which undoubtedly exist in detail and are publically available) that it isn't a one sided, alarmist emotional appeal. But perhaps I myself am letting emotions get the better of me by assuming the SCOTUS documents all their decisions, when in reality they (more) typically don't(?).
And that's from people paid by their boss to show that there is no such effect.
Of course, app that implements it's only server API would be consistent with itself. You see, Matrix isn't mature enough to have XMPP's problems, such problems must be deserved first.

And seeing how fixated matrix zealots on JSON superiority over XML as a format, I don't think Matrix will ever mature to a point to have problems faced by real federated protocol with multiple implementations of both clients and servers.

This is very true but I look at it like this: If they make it that far, they're in our network so we're thoroughly p0wnd. It's a compromise as air gapping was generating too many complaints from engineers and operators until the boss had enough and said fix it. so we compromised and fixed it.
Hi HN! I'm the Director of Engineering at UrbanFootprint (https://urbanfootprint.com/), one of the companies featured in the National Geographic article. Peter Calthorpe is a cofounder of the company. The El Camino corridor is highlighted at the beginning of the National Geographic article. If you want to dig into more details on that please take a look at our blog post on the topic from last year (https://urbanfootprint.com/can-one-street-solve-the-san-fran...).

At UrbanFootprint, we provide data and tools for urban planners to assess and compare the impacts of land use and transportation decisions. A basic use case is a city updating its General Plan, which would start with a forecast of how much population growth is anticipated / needs to be accommodated. A planner then needs to assess where new residents will live, work, shop, and play. Perhaps even more essential, how are people going to travel between all of these activities? Will the new growth be auto-dependent, transit-focused, walkable? Is any of the existing or planned development in hazard areas such as flood of wildfire? What are the energy and water use impacts of the plans?

We’re using Python and Postgres/PostGIS on the backend to answer these questions and a React SPA to serve it up and make it interactive in a browser. It's a lot of fun getting our hands dirty with data describing the physical world in which we live in now, in addition to modeling the future of cities.

If this type of work interests you please get in touch - email me at hn@urbanfootprint.com. I'm always interested in hearing from folks who want to use technology to improve cities.
People are calling out that your argument is pointing to the wrong step in the trust interplay. A ticketing system is not at all about a restaurant not trusting you to pay at the end of the meal and 100% about guaranteeing that you'll show up in the first place.

As you say, you're fine with restaurants addressing the reservation trust imbalance, but you apparently don't like the way a ticketing system accomplishes that. Why? Because you don't like the way it feels as an experience?
Bertrand Russell argued against the use of learning Greek and Latin in the early 1930s -- for the reason that previously, the main source of education and culture and just plain 'new ideas' for people around the time of the Enlightenment was the written records of the Greeks and Romans.

Nowadays the bulk of new ideas are in living foreign languages like French, Italian, Russian, etc. I know that, for example, Spain is a large hub of the Free Software movement. Sweden has a big export on crime drama, France on romance movies. There are thousands of Russian academic papers with ideas that are still unknown in the west, because of the cold war.

You probably would have better enjoyed the language if it gave you access to things you found interesting, or if the culture contained something useful or interesting to you.

Or to see it differently, of course "It was a huge waste of time", you chose a language that has no cultural benefit to you, and was forced to learn it. And then you seem surprised that it didn't pay off!
I have no first-hand advice, but this article may be of interest: https://stackingthebricks.com/chronic-illness-the-best-reaso...
I have to say a lot of the story writing around GumRoad itself seems to be an attempt to attract new customers as they have told multiple narratives that are all click-baity (from trying to be a billion dollar startup to a weekend project making big bucks).

Almost all projects start small. I am a solo founder and my "venture" also started as a Python script I wrote over the weekend to help with my own investing. But it's taken a lot more work since then to actually make it accessible and useful for people who are not me.

The real question is did he finish and make significant revenue from that weekend version? It looks like a heavily VC funded startup that did not produce the growth at par with the funding. For a solo company, this would be terrific. For a VC one, probably mediocre. Not too bad, but it can be deceptive to other entrepreneurs reading this as "inspiration".
XML is extremely popular with the JS crowd, they just don't know they're using it ;) JSX (React's template language extension to JavaScript) stands for "JavaScript XML" [1], and there was E4X as an official ECMA spec for XML literals before that (though admittedly not as cool as React is, doesn't have vdom and update events, components for MVC, etc). And JavaScript was indeed invented for DOM manipulation, it's just that the DOM API simply sucks.

The whole XML hate thing is symptomatical for the staged this-vs-that discussion we endure in today's forums.

I guess there are those document representation schemes that everybody hates on, and those that nobody uses ;)

On the other hand, by having customers pre-pay, the restaurant is making sure that there are not reserved seats left empty due to no-shows, which means they are more likely to serve a full restaurant, they have a better idea ahead of time how much food will get eaten, and the end result mean less waste and they can provide better service and prices.
Just to give my experience: I'm from Nebraska, and was back there this past week. When I arrived home (in Lincoln), there was still 4-6 inches of snow on the ground, following the snowiest winter they've had in decades. It turned about 60 degrees on a rainy day and all that snow melted, but the ground was still frozen and had nowhere to go. We didn't have bad flooding in my area, but my parents yard was ankle deep in water for about 24 hours. The interstates were closed, and I got detoured twice driving out. It really is something.
Out of curiosity what is your issue with Jack/Twitter ethics? Too much censoring or not enough?
The title is rather disappointing as it implies that nobody at the nytimes understands the difference between computer code and programming language. As an analogy, computer code to programming language is what a book is to a human language. Would you ask if a book is a foreign language? A programming language is what computer code is written in. Just like a human language is what a book is written in.

As for whether a programming language is a foreign language, the answer is an obvious no. Programming languages have mathematical/logical limitations of soundness, completeness, decidability, etc. If programming languages are a foreign languages, then so is algebra or calculus.

> So the only message passing between your rust actors is via SQS or such?

It's S3 -> SNS -> SQS -> Lambda

This gives me:

* Persistent events on s3, for replayability

* Multiconsumer for SNS

* Dead letters, retries, etc via SQS

Maybe from a latency perspective this is slow, but my system can tolerate latency at the level of minutes, so I'm really doubtful that my messaging system will matter.

Most time is spent downloading payloads in S3 as far as I know. I batch up and compress proto events to optimize this.

I haven't tried scaling out my system but I'm confident that message passing is the least of my concerns.

Thanks for the appreciation, but still wondering which specific sites/services presented you with images/video you didn't want to see.

(I'm a pretty heavy user of social media, especially Twitter & Facebook, but as none of my friends/followees/groups posted raw video, I only saw the headlines and generic 'aftermath' photos common on mainstream news sites.)
Supposedly, this is also why FEMA likes the "Waffle House Index" so much in the states where it works, because Waffle House supposedly doesn't pressure employees in emergencies to show up to work and the "menu level" (red/yellow) does also reflect the number of employees that showed up to work that shift in their checklist of which menu to use (rather than the other way around of the menu determining how many employees to call into work), so the "Waffle House Index" also will show some indirect evidence of neighborhood state based on employee ability/interest to get to work (including some indirect overall socioeconomic indicators of a neighborhood's general willingness to evacuate).
Interesting choice of word - "scale". Jokingly wondering if you mean adding more kids to the mix, increasing age and decreasing agility, or something else...

Social isolation is everything. In a city not only are there a lot of existing things to do, a restaurant or bar might only be around for a couple years if it's bad and the commercial space is in demand, so a new exciting thing comes to fill the space rather than a "for lease" sign for decades like you'd see in a sparse area.

Take a look at a typical suburb. Where do you even walk? Sometimes the complexes wind and wind a mile or two before you hit the exit of the suburb, a 45 mph road with no sidewalks. Then it's another 2-3 miles until you hit the strip mall, then 500yds of parking lot before you hit the door of the apple bees. There's not even any greenery to enjoy, all the woods have been clear cut for housing or agriculture; living at low density like that scars the environment for miles. I'd take dial up and packages available in 40 days to ensure I'm at a safe arms length from suburban bleakness.
This is far from uncommon. Back in DEFCON 2017 Orange Tsai gave a talk about inconsistencies in different URL parsing libraries in different languages. The opening example was a single URL that had a different hostname when parsed by urllib, urllib2, and requests. He also demoed examples of using unusual characters like spaces and newlines to talk to Redis or SMTP while pretending to be HTTP.

autstincheney, it sounds like you should quit your enterprise (big tech co?) job and work for an early-stage startup.
That's a great idea -- if you don't have a wide range of hobbies and a curiosity about life. So work 40-50 hours a week, and then in your leisure time continue to work on the same type of item?

Maybe many developers who relate to this don't have creative pursuits (eg. writing, photography, painting, etc.), don't exercise, don't have much of a social life, and thus it is a no-brainer. Or, perhaps people are replacing wasted time (i.e. TV) with side dev time.

Either way, more power to you. I'm a believer in cross-training - creative thinking and a healthy body also improve the 'actual work' part of your work life.

PBS may be "funded with tax money", but apparently the funding doesn't go far enough as to allow for complete independence. It's a common story, that also explains why crowdfunded video projects have been mostly a failure - but I do wonder how the costs can be so high, when so many people publish self-made videos on social media sites for no payment at all other than some pretty nominal "monetization" revenues.
