One thing I’ve wanted my team to automate is on boarding new microservices. Being able to create a repo, generate the baseline configuration necessary and deploy a container all within an action or two. The reason we haven’t is it seems like a lot of work for a process that doesn’t happen very often (once or twice a month)

> That extra pilot, who was seated in the cockpit jumpseat, correctly diagnosed the problem and told the crew how to disable a malfunctioning flight-control system and save the plane, according to two people familiar with Indonesia’s investigation.

> The presence of a third pilot in the cockpit wasn’t contained in Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee’s Nov. 28 report on the crash and hasn’t previously been reported.

So the NTSC explicitly chose to exclude this and then two whistleblowers went to Bloomberg? That is fucking wild.
> The amount of work required for an agent on a 100K house is very similar to that of a 2 Mill house

Liability, and the odds of litigation, are vastly higher are bigger dollar amounts. My personal experience with realtors has been pretty much useless. But a bigger asset takes more resources to present and has a lower hit rate given the smaller pool of buyers. There are also unique lending problems that expensive assets run into.
This is very interesting. Do you have a good example to study how this should be done?
Completely agree, except that MS was so crazy hostile to OSS that they scared off all the serious guys a decade ago. I wish them the best. The CLR has some compelling features that make it objectively better than JVM on so many levels.

But the lack of ecosystem is killing them. And has been forever. The new MS CEO is great in my mind but it will take many years to turn the ship around. Devs don't forget.

Best example I can think of (was a C# guy for years). Resharper has been around forever. But it costs a lot. This is par the course for C#. I can get the same thing in Java by pulling in a few linters with Maven, and it's all free. Because MS scared away everyone that was afraid of licensing fees (ie most academics, the sharpest devs out there), there's nothing comparable.

Same with C# port of Quartz and so many others. They killed off the real rockstars among us that create the majority of libraries that everyone else uses.

Can it be fixed? I hope so. The CLR is great and Oracle sucks. But for now there's a good reason Java is dominant
I don’t get the invite model. Ask someone already invited to send you an invite? I guess it prevents spam reservations but I don’t have Facebook or twitter, so I guess I’m out of luck.
I've taken to burning paper trash to offset the CO2 depletion caused by greenies' reduction programs. I can't do it alone, it takes a team effort to ensure there's more CO2 in the air for plants to breathe in the future!
Thanks for the reply - it's a very cool and clever idea. I can't emphasize how much I hope you succeed.
> Because of previous labor violations teachers were not allowed to show up before class started

So the school was expecting teachers to come in early to setup, not paying them for those hours and punishing those that didn't. This isn't a problem created by labor unions, it is a problem created by exploitative companies. And when the company decided how they would address the issue they decided that pre-class preparation wasn't worth paying for.
Honestly, those top positions in almost any organization are often political appointments that have little to do with day to day operations. The current "actings" are generally the ones who "advise" the political appointees on how to handle things. Obviously there are some exceptions, but most bureaucracies tend to run that way.

Not to comment specifically on this as FAA isn't my area, but if the secdef doesn't come to work tomorrow the undersecretary is going to take the same actions he would have. I'd imagine most of those orgs trend that way.

Boeing did inform them. Otherwise how would the third pilot have known what to do when he saved the plane?

Ok, so I'm trying to get my head around what you mean by a fact. You've said:

> Michelson and Morley had a particular experimental setup and procedure and recorded particular numbers when they ran the experiment.

I believe that the facts you're referring to must be on page 685 of this document:

Can sense be made of it without first embracing the theory, for example, which indicates that light is made up of waves?

Morrowind was way more grindy than Odyssey (make 50 steps, a monster attacks you, repeat until the end of game). Odyssey just made all enemies within +/-2 levels of your own character, contrary to Origins, where levels were preset for each area.
Everyone involved can share the fault.

Unfortunately, correctly apportioning all of the blame won’t bring back the souls lost.
Seems like pilots are overburdened by so much automation, as alluded to by the famous "Children of the Magenta" video[0].

I don't get why the plane doesn't just say what it's doing, and why it's doing it, and have a big red button to put the plane into a safe-mode alternate law. 737s already say warnings like "BANK ANGLE", couldn't it just say "DANGEROUS CLIMB DETECTED, TRIMMING NOSE DOWN. PRESS RED BUTTON TO CANCEL."

Based on the highlight in the article it seems everyone thought the same — aren’t there grounds for discrimination based on the questions about kids and family in the interviews?
>Of course I didn't say Facebook delivered a bomb. I said Facebook is causing harm.

You claim that Facebook causes harm because people can communicate there without it being checked. You claim that the mail is different because they check that the mail isn't a literal bomb, and this is why the mail service doesn't cause harm. But people can communicate through the mail service without it being checked as well. In fact, checking somebody else's mail is very illegal. So the same harm you abuse Facebook of facilitating can be done through regular mail.

>Other communication services have effective security measures to minimize and isolate the harm they can do.

No, they don't. Let me put it in caps for you: IT IS ILLEGAL TO CHECK SOMEBODY'S PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE WITHOUT DUE PROCESS. It is actually a violation of human rights. The mail service does not check what is written in your letters.

>The fact that terrorists choose Facebook instead of the mail should tell you that Facebook is the problem we need to fix.

This is so ridiculously shortsighted. They use it because it's popular and convenient, not because it's the only way to do it.

Serious question - I don't know how to do the math here.
We don’t have true poverty in this corner of our western world like in India or Bangladesh or in some places in Africa etc. So..yea..perspective. We have relative poverty.

Relative poverty, specifically, is what causes social unrest. (Perhaps here is another hole in your social sciences education?)

There will always be hierarchies. There are enough studies to back that tho’.. And hierarchies are important. They are the furnaces from where societies are tempered.

I am also pro-meritocracy. Pareto is as widespread as the normal distribution. Sure. I'm also down with the idea that different groups will know different things and so will have vastly different outcomes in the economy. Thomas Sowell is a personal hero of mine, and I own
and am working through something like 5 of his books.

I would rather that we aspire not to be villains. But again..that pesky thing called free will. So there’s that..

Octavia Butler's viewpoint in her books generally, but especially in the Parable of the Sower series, is valuable for its observation that much of human conflict is determined below the level of consciousness. Society can't ignore those forces, precisely because they can override conscious rationality and are powerful enough to tear even the most powerful societies apart.

Principles are important. However, we are not creatures of pure rationality. If a society tries to live as such, purely on principles, it will fail. Probably through its elites becoming out of touch. California to a T, through and through.

Surely "exponential personal growth" would be an artifact of the method of measurement? Your first task could be to hack that method to get an arbitrary conclusion of your choosing. I am totally serious. Bigly lesson, that one :)

Remember how, as a kid, doing the wrong thing was thrilling? For me, that's what enjoying learning is like and it does often start from a willingness to be wrong or fail (ever ridden a bike into a bush - not as soft as you think at high speeds).

For example, yesterday I ended up randomly understanding Godel's proof for his incompleteness theorem and it's significance because I was trying to find out why the validity of substitution/equivalence seemed to be an assumption of all logics (if anyone can point me in the direction of what I'm misunderstanding there, that'd be great).

Now, almost everyone I've ever met tells me I'm crazy and/or an arrogant asshole depending on context. It does worry me but not enough to stop because how I feel is like a slow burning version of jumping off a cliff.

It's scary and hard to get started but once you do, you experience something fleeting and hard to grasp and then a sort of calming shock as you hit the cold water and look up, somehow feeling relaxed about having a long way to swim to the surface.

(Bear in mind that I'm paranoid about checking for rocks before jumping and that is somewhat analogous to learning - some of what you do is swimming around at the bottom diving down to see how deep it is or finding a vantage point where you can see the bottom from. It's also hard to trust someone when they tell you it's safe. All of that features in learning for me as well.)

One of the things that happens if you do things like that is that you get fitter because you've been climbing up to the top of that cliff over and over. If you then have to do something a bit boring like, say, read the manual for Rust, it isn't very hard because you're stronger, fast have better endurance and are less likely to trip.

What I'm saying there is that you may have started at the crappy end of the experience :) Go have some fun, find a motive and then worry about it.

Re: distributed computing...
If you want to do something cool, I'd suggest starting with Aphyr's blog and his Jepsen test suite.

This is written in Clojure, which is JVM based but has a javascript version, ClojureScript.

Lots of Clojure packages work out of the box in ClojureScript and last time I had a play the "Leiningen" package manager understood that and came to the party.

From there, you could adapt Jepsen to testing a distributed system of your choice communicating via WebRTC and a STUN server running in a serverless browser environment.

If you go straight to conflict-free-replicated-datatypes (CRDTs), I think that'd all qualify as cool - especially if you can automatically test them (I'd suggest spinning up multiple browsers using puppeteer).

Remember that composition still exists and it's possible to achieve slightly less abstract programming conditions by creating a hard dependency on a reasonable context that covers some of the requirements of CRDTs.

It could be fair to call the docker ecosystem bloated and insecure, but I would argue that a single (Alpine based) docker container is a secure, simple, and elegant solution.
(Co-founder at Charm) Fair points. I'm not going to defend corn ethanol - our process yields 10x more saleable energy per acre than corn ethanol. The energy crop we're currently field trialing is similar to sugarcane, with extremely high yields (and our process uses the entire plant, unlike ethanol). Of course, energy crops are only required at large scale. At small scale, there's plenty of agricultural waste available for cheap, as you mentioned.

PV certainly wins on efficiency compared to crops, but it's also relatively expensive (an acre of PV vs an acre of perennial crops). Also PV is quite unremarkable at removing CO2 from the atmosphere :]
As someone who wrote a Deep Learning-based anomaly detection pipeline used in real world I doubt they know precisely what the issue was. It could have been a simple flagging slightly over whatever threshold they set to their system, maybe ticking off a tiny majority voting of their "suspicion" detectors. Not having humans involved, nor having clearly human-interpretable results will be always an issue at scale.
Local minima are basically equivalent to global minimum in the high dimensionalities achieved in deep learning. It's not even just a conjecture by the way. This has been mathematically proven.
It didn't need to be included in the preliminary report since it is contextual/background information.

They did include in the report that on a previous flight the same sensor error occurred and the pilots resolved it by disabling auto-trim. The fact there was a third pilot there is definitely interesting, but they didn't make anyone less safe by not including it in the report.

There's no bombshell here. Previous problems were well known/reported before today.
I'd fly on a 737 MAX tomorrow. But I might ask the crew during boarding if they're familiar with the stab trim cutoff switches.

What is “the community”? There are plenty of people with interest in / demand for urbanism, just not in a spatial distribution that confers zoning power. For now. Greater awareness might create that interest (most people are surprised to learn that the strip malls they loathe are exactly as required by law). Or zoning power might be limited from a higher level of government where spatial fragmentation is less important. But a big set of people interested in urban living does exist. Why do you think it’s so expensive?

These people are a) a market opportunity, and b) a set that might grow dramatically given the right technology catalyst. I personally think e-bikes will play a large role in getting people out of the cars-competing-for-space mindset at the root of so much NIMBYism, while preserving much of the convenience of personal transport over buses.
I could, but not for free. Google it. It is politics 101.
Doesn't evolve _quickly_. Which as you say is say is part of the tradeoff of giving a trustable guarantee that the tooling you do use will continue to work for a long time.
I think a tech workers association similar to the AMA would be helpful. I think the best work it could do would be to push for standardized contracts around intellectual property(company doesn't own everything you touch even in your free time) and non-competes(for instance must be paid some % of salary while non-compete is enforced). And the second best work it could do would be to push for standardized on-call/overtime multipliers.

These things are harder to negotiate for than salary and would be healthy for the industry.
The trim switches on the control column can override it.
Boeing offered that, but it was a paid extra that few airlines purchased.

So, how are they not?

When you hit the trim buttons on the yoke MCAS stops for five seconds. What Boeing considers runaway trim would not stop when you counter with the trim buttons.
>You make operators of servers responsible for all the content they serve.

>Would the Internet basically lose it's purpose? It would still be able to connect consumers to businesses.

Yeah, it would connect consumers and businesses in the same way that TV connects consumers and businesses. If server operators are responsible for all of the content online then no server owner will allow ANY user-generated content.

>They are forced to implement pre-moderation, or to disallow content from non-trusted sources.

>The EU is already going down this path to better enforce copyright.

There's a good reason why the EU has basically no large tech companies. I'm not sure being anti-technology like we are in Europe is a good idea in a world that's spurred on by technology.

Also, P2P would basically break this kind of regulation. To fight against that you eventually need to ban encryption or require backdoors in them. You also need to criminalize encryption that's not state-sanctioned.

That sounds like a hellscape to me.

Nope. This has been the subject of a ton of teeth gnashing by the American pilot unions (the head of American Airlines' APA union has been among the most vocal critics of Boeing in this case). In fact if you look at the ANAC's (Brazil) version of the "OPERATIONAL EVALUATION REPORT" and compare it to the rest of the world you'll find only the Brazilian version references MCAS.

> More to the point, this reflects positively on Lion Air because it means that the pilots in the forward facing seats properly took advice into account. This is good crew resource management.

It's good the pilots took advice -- but they should not have needed that advice because they should have been trained to operate the system properly.

The whole thing reflects very poorly overall:

- The pilots were not trained properly on the new system, and a third pilot who happened to be hitching a ride had to tell them how to operate the plane.

- The plane was allowed to fly again the next day despite the malfunction, none of the pilots flying it were properly trained, and everybody died.

- The incident was not reported properly at the time, nor was it reported after the same plane had crashed the next day.
>>There is absolutely an imbalance between the rates being paid to western white-collar workers and the value they create for their companies. If there wasn't, we wouldn't continue to see stockholder shares increase and growth in income inequity.

What do you mean by "stockholders shares increase"? You're saying shares increasing in value is a sign that there's an imbalance between wages paid to workers and value created by them?

As for the growth in income inequality, there are many other possible explanations besides a free market in labor being inherently unfair to workers.

Even if capital's share of income is increasing (I believe it has increased slightly), it doesn't follow that a cookie cutter intervention that treats labor as one homogenous mass, and gives it a greater share of income, will do anything but increase distortions being imposed on the economy.

Interventions need to be more intelligently formulated and targeted than what the simplistic ideological narratives promoted by rent-seeking labor unions advocate.
