The artificial sweeteners can interfere with the optic nerve and can damage blood vessels in the eye. The impact is much worse for smokers and diabetics.

I had a personal experience with this in my 20s. I was in a situation where I was working on a project that left me working long shifts in a dim area, and started having peripheral flashes of light. That's a sign of retina detachment, so I was rushed off to the ophthalmologist. They went through a bunch of stuff and it turned out I was ingesting extreme amounts of aspartame. (>12 cups of coffee and 8-10 Diet Cokes a day) From a medical POV, more than 4 cans of diet soda is considered "high" use. I stopped sweetening coffee and moved to seltzer the next day and the symptoms were gone in 48 hours.

Diet Soda is bad stuff for many reasons. You're better off with drinking sugared soda or beer.
> It's a bunch of anonymous people posting crap, often for shock value. Sure, there's incitement on there, but nobody takes anybody serious.

No. It used to be like this. Maybe in the mid-2000s when 4chan was first getting popular, it could have been seen as this. It might have been seen like this during the early 2010s, does anyone remember Anonymous and how it started basically from /b/?

It used to be a troll site -- it's not anymore. It's literally a cesspool of white supremacy. Seriously, go read what's on /pol/ right now. It's not shock value, it's sympathy.
Let me just throw out a guess here that stratechery will totally be on Apples side on this. They seem to have a bias against non-US companies stretching a long way back.

At 800K, I am extremely curious how your work-life balance is? I am assuming after an age and salary number, a lot of your time goes into managerial tasks and at the rate you are compounding on salaries, I would bet it will be a hectic WLB. Further out of curiosity, at what age do you plan to retire?

To an outsider, the metal bars remind of both human jails and stacked chicken cages.

It’s not easy to realize that they have to look like jail cell bars in order to avoid being damaged by the cow, and it’s not well-known that cows are taught to enter metal frames for food and such to let human work on and around them occur more safely.

Humans don’t as often need metal bars to avoid knocking the bathroom walls down, but when we need metal bars for support (ADA bathrooms), they look a lot like the cow bars.
I was being imprecise, but I don't think we're ever going to finish arguing about categorizing the different strains of left politics.

Bingo. Asking the citizens to 'cut back' has always rubbed me the wrong way. We (citizens washing our cars or watering our lawns) are a mere drop in the bucket compared to the rest of the actors in the state.

> Nothing, I just wanted to use another word for the Budestag, since it is an equivalent institution and not everyone is familiar with the german political institutions.

House of Representatives is not another word for the Bundestag, its the name of the lower house of the US parliament. Which Im sure does not have exactly the same role as the Bundestag.

> Budesrat (equivalent to the Senate)

It isnt. For example, Senators are elected as senators, the Bundesrat is a representation of the state governments. Their roles also differ. You cant just map political institutions 1:1 like that.

> MCAS will trim in increments of 10s. So it will trim, pause, trim some more, pause.

No, not quite. By itself MCAS will only trim once, I believe.

But if it's interrupted by a pilot manually trimming, then it will stop, wait 5 seconds, and then try to do its 10 second trim again.

The characteristic up-down pattern from the Lion Air flight I think was from the latter scenario of MCAS starting to trim, the pilot manually trimming back (disabling MCAS for 5 seconds) and then it activating again.

> Yes. MAX 8 has two AOA sensors.

But I think the MCAS system only gets its input from one! (And it switches each flight.) If true, that's just appallingly bad.
In Germany, there is only about 212k Chinese people. Since that's less than 1% of the German population, I guess they should just throw them all in jail since their opinions don't matter (mathematically, of course).

There is no such thing as hate speech, it is a political concept to crush dissenting opinions and limit speech. That’s it.

Pushing it further underground out of public view doesn’t make it go away either. You get a further closed echo chamber that will metastasize.

If you want to stop this behavior, you open it to a wider forum and debate and drag the people ideologically out of the muck.

Censorship doesn’t solve anything. Engage with people and see why issues are popping up and engage with them or expect more of this to happen as you close them off from view.
This is the same problem we've seen in most countries, especially the US, where technologically illiterate lawmakers make overly-broad laws that can capture all sorts of perfectly decent behaviour, which then allows law enforcement latitude to prosecute who they will, when they will. This is a deliberate ploy in Russia, of course, but in the West, it happens, especially with terrorism and technology laws. IT's really important to stop these and reverse them with literate lawmakers.

The important part of the article
----------

“When Boeing built the MAX, in order to increase fuel efficiency, they went with a different engine, explained Fred Tecce, a commercial aviation expert. “Because the 737 sits pretty low on its landing gear, [Boeing] had to move the engines up a little bit and move them forward a little bit” on the MAX versions. “In order to compensate, they extended the nose gear by eight to 12 inches" and repositioned the engines which "affected the airplane’s pitch characteristics and center of gravity.”

Tecce concurred that control inputs and the resulting pitch changes were challenges that had to be overcome in the latest version of the world’s best-selling aircraft.

“In order to compensate for what the engineers perceived to be an issue with respect to pitch, they added this MCAS system that operates when the autopilot is off and the angle of attack exceeds certain limitations and when the airplane is banked pretty steeply.” He said the technology runs the stabilizer pitch down for several seconds and it “reassesses and will start again until it believes the airplane has reached a safe angle of attack, and it operates without the pilots knowing [about it].”

Tecce noted that in the case of the Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX crash, “now the airplane is pitching down and actually moving the control wheel will not stop that system. If the pilot uses the trim system on the yoke, the [MCAS] system will stop" but "if the airplane isn’t in the proper attitude it will reactivate,” Tecce said, further forcing the aircraft downward if pilots fail to recognize the situation and take proper corrective action.

A pilot familiar with the system pointed out that recognizing this scenario was crucial to determine if there was a problem that warranted activating the trim cutoff switches. Additionally, if the autopilot is engaged, activating a yoke trim switch disconnects the autopilot and gives full control back to the pilot immediately.

Tecce did not fault the FAA for taking a wait-and-see approach. “A lot of people throwing a lot of rocks at the FAA. Since 2010 we’ve had one aviation fatality” in the United States. “Our safety record is astonishing,” he said. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the airplane. If you talk to the pilots who fly them, they’ll tell you it’s not the airplane so much as whether or not the manual properly describes what’s going on.”
You are absolutely right, casting large objects with homogeneous composition and mechanical properties is very difficult practically. Slightly off topic, but the turbine blades used in the aircraft/marine/power engines are grown from single crystal for similar reasons.

There is a better universal alternative out there today and yet they continue to use Lightning port in iPhones.
People do so very much love to dress up their failings and vices in lofty goals and in playing devil's advocate. I guess it helps their ego to feel like they aren't being reprehensible scumbags.
XCode is not free, the price is included in the Mac purchase. I can't do ANY iOS development without first paying for Apple hardware.

iPhone is owned by user. If App Store is a profit center for Apple, then all their claims of "for the good of platform" are invalid. If it's not a profit center then I guess they can come up with whatever revenue model to socialize the cost.

Apple Pay is different product, that discussion should be separate.

I am a conservative, but agree with Sen Warren, >$25B companies need to be severely restricted on how they spread into other products. It might lead to over valuing smaller companies as investors would have to constantly look for new opportunities.

That ship sailed years ago when Youtube started removing videos of the Syrian civil war [1]. Many of these videos were intended as propaganda for rebel/terrorist groups. They were also useful because the combat footage they contained could be analyzed independently to get casualty counts and locations of fighting. I would personally have preferred that they stayed available, even if they might have worked as propaganda on some people. But Youtube made a decision and stuck to it.

Removing this terrorist's video is just applying a standing policy to remove reported terrorist videos.

[1] For all I know the policy started even earlier, but I followed the SCW closely for several years and I noticed a big change in video availability over time.
Qmail used to do ANY.

Qmail, as opposed to other software, was sane enough to understand that lack of MX in ANY didn't mean it wasn't there. It meant it wasn't in a cache, so it would retry with just MX.

Our initial proposal (to do REFUSED for ANY) indeed had a chance to break some older qmail installations. This is why we engaged in a longer process and found acceptable solution - HINFO. HINFO is both backwards compatible (qmail will work fine) and solves our problems with ANY. Win-win.
A newspaper is publishing its own speech, so banning a newspaper is a direct infringement of free speech.

4chan and 8chan claim to be message boards where other people are saying things. This is an important distinction, because if they were claiming it's their own (protected) speech, they're liable for incitement, defamation, and various other crimes and torts in dozens of countries. But they're not. And while free speech laws might protect the content of speech they don't protect the manner of said speech or the forum in which such speech occur (except that in the US, "public" areas are open to all speech.)

You're also missing the crucial distinction that while the words of the posts on 4chan and 8chan might be protected by free speech law, the acts they represent can be crimes, even in the U.S. And as I've already pointed out, NZ's free speech rights aren't as expansive as the US.

Mobile wallets are pretty secure and when you use them to pay you aren't handing over your card number, kind of similar to using chip cards. If you're not going to use a credit card, then a debit card run though Apple or Google Pay is what I'd go for.

I'm quite interested in all this, because I feel they have significant impact on the future of these tech giants. Just as Google has been battling anti-trust suits for some time, it seems like it's time for Apple to face the music.

From Apple's reply to Spotify, I notice that they haven't made a single valid counterpoint to Spotify's primary claim, which is that Apple is favouring their own Apple Music service on the App Store and the Apple Watch, while applying different rules for their competitors. In fact, it's quite disconcerting to see Apple engage in this petty whataboutery, when they mentioned that Spotify don't pay the musicians well: this point has nothing whatsoever to do with this anti-trust case. It's quite okay for Spotify to be horrible to the musicians and still want to be treated fairly by Apple.

I personally am on Spotify's side in this case and I hope cases like these prevent these tech giants from brazenly stomping over rivals as and when they see fit.

Of course it doesn't. Who said it does? What it means is there is a governmental, and cultural, commitment to not bestowing authoritative power on the state to determine what people can or cannot say, read, or discuss.

You’re absolutely right that it’s not important to the conversation; I’m just being pedantic and going on a tangent :) But I have seen enough real bugs due to people not understanding the limitations of iOS simulator realism that I would really like it if more people understood the issue.

Yeah, using the word voluntary is disingenuous. I'd be interested to see third-party research to determine if there's a developed preference, where both options are provided to cows - two different physical locations that they are both introduced to, and see if they're indifferent or if a percentage prefers one or the other.

I was hoping I wasn't the only one.

There are occasionally good pieces on important topics, but I'm no longer willing to slog through the long line of headlines that repeat some variation of "[Politician] did [something you should hate him/her for]" in order to read them.

I'm with you on the bias. I want information, and I'll make my own decisions. However, maybe it is better when news outlets are overt with their biases. It's a little more disturbing to me to think of someone reading something they believe is unbiased when it's simply subtly biased.
How the Mighty Fall [1] is the book by Jim Collins that I'll never forget.

The lessons within remain top of mind as a key mental check that has stuck with me over the years. The book begins with a study on hubris and how your blindspots are like a cancer of mind that remain undetected while working to kill you long before their effects are known.

Well, I think that emotion isn't really a legitimate source of information, primarily because it's so subjective. How many relationships dissolve because one party is connecting their experience of an emotion to the actions of the other party, but it's all a complete misunderstanding?

Emotion serves as an indicator, but not as justifiable evidence or information. I still get angry, fearful, heartbroken, elated, etc. but I now spend a great deal of energy trying to make sure that I don't attach my experience of an emotion to a belief that the emotion gives me real, trustworthy information about the true state of the world.

I thought a great deal about this while I was reading "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman, which I highly recommend.

Not a lawyer, but this reads like an intent-based law, which aren't too uncommon in Europe. There are some other laws that are phrased in a similar way, like the so called "hacker paragraph".

It is a literary version of the word classical. I agree people have made classical music in the modern era and the categories are different in music to writing.

Just saying the train of thought when writing a conflict into a story is the classical approach is to have man vs nature, man vs man, man vs god. Modernist is man vs society, man vs self and man vs no god. Postmodernist would be man vs technology, man vs reality and man vs author.

So the choosing of a backing music to fit a written fight would be reminiscent of the classical thinking that celebrates man vs man fights.

Hans Zimmer would be the more modern composer that celebrates conquering the self in interstellar/inception, ect.
