As a native English speaker, I found this really well-written and entertaining. I even signed up for his email newsletter just because I liked the writing style so much.
Oh boy, I hope this article is wrong. If not, I'll transcribe someone's Reddit comment that expressed my feelings very well:

737 Max software uses a single sensor to detect stalls and commands the plane nose down in those cases without notifying the pilots AND can only be deactivated by flipping a special witch, NOT by simply moving the yoke.

EXCUSEME, WHAT THE FUCK!!!?!

If you write code that commands an airplane to dive, you surely want to rely on more than one sensor, you surely want to blink some disco flashing lights in the pilot's face and you surely want to make it easy for the pilot to overtake whatever your code is trying to do, like you know, simply moving the yoke. Please someone tell me this article is wrong. Even 1980's cars allow you to disable cruise-control without having to flip a special switch.

Any other planes I should be aware of or is this new to 737 MAX?

The real reason is that Greenwald isn't feuding with Fox News's political commentators. He is a frequent guest on their shows.
It sounds like it’s more about urban vs suburban and rurual areas. I walked to school for 3 years because the school was close. I’m certain other kids in the suburbs don’t have a bus as an option if they live in a certain range. The school closest to my house is over 3 miles away and some parts do not have a sidewalk. When I lived near public transport I saw plenty of kids riding to private schools. Now that I’m in the suburbs it’s not possible.

No one is scared to let their children out because of violence or murder. That’s silly news media fear mongering unless you live in a bad area.

How close is the kindergarten to your house?

> And who's to determine what the purpose was?

While that's perhaps an interesting question in the general case, for Tor, we know the purpose was to protect US covert intelligence communications overseas, which is very much about enabling illegal (by local law) activity.

And actually, purpose requirements in law are not uncommon and, in systems with meaningful proof requirements that benefit they accused, since they provide additional facts which must be established by evidence before punishment can be imposed.

I will even pay for mobile games. Because I do enjoy them, and sometimes you don't want something so complex. It's just feels impossible to find them because they don't get millions of downloads.

Honestly the thing that kills mobile games for me more then ads is waiting. I like tycoon style games, a genre destroyed on mobile by timers.
> If I want product X then I am stuck with whatever way the company producing X decides to use

For most products, you have the choice of multiple companies Y that make/sell said product. Some might differentiate themselves on reducing their packaging. In other cases, you might be able to reduce your packaging impact by buying said product used or (god forbid) going without something you want but don't need.

Quite friendly for me. The message is clear - you will never see us again.

I had a similar story for my year and a half boy:
"Don't go on car pavement alone. It is dangerous!"
"Cars move fast, hit hard, they may not notice children. If that happened you'll never see us again."

He wants an explanation. It helps to make his own judgment... sometimes unexpected like "Why such dangerous things allowed here?"

I hope someday it would remain only in fairy tales.

They were recycling some of it, and then the rest was burned or dumped leading to all that plastic in the Pacific ocean.
That's just not practical for most people. Wiring a house is difficult and/or expensive. It's also not necessarily an applicable argument for z-wave/zigbee (there may be similar attacks, though, I'm not sure).

There's also "hybrid" options for usecases like the "unconnected camera": a wireless camera that has local storage, for example.

In that order.
They said the following in the beginning though:

> For example if you want to test a tweak that results in 5% more conversions, you need about 3000 sales to detect it! For Candy Japan this would mean waiting for about 10 years for the test to complete.

But they want to do something still to try and improve sales. Seems reasonable even if not scientific.
Someone can say they've home-built a rocket and flown to the moon, and I don't have to be an aerospace expert to call BS.
Well, that is a separate and good point, and very much a political one. And you can never tell with the EU.

As I said in a comment far below here, it's a funny thing, how to define anticompetitive and monopoly practices, depending on how you frame the scope of the market. See Peter Thiel's book for a chapter on this.

You could say that Apple has a monopoly over developers building apps and providing their services to people using iPhones. Someone else looking at it could say that Spotify has a multitude of ways to provide its content to customers -- web, it's own Windows + Mac desktop apps, Android, etc.

Which way is a regulator supposed to look at it?

The point about Apple Music is also interesting. Actually Apple Music (the streaming version) I believe came after Spotify. Anticompetitive regulations are about penalizing behavior that discourages new entrants to the market. Apple Music was actually the newer entrant in that case.
Yes, absolutely. Do you have kids? Their innate nature is not all cute. All (normal developing) kids at one time or another will hit and bite and lie. Kids are selfish. They have to be taught how to behave in any society, let alone modern society.

But even if it's true that modern society is at fault, you can't change that alone. Kids still have to be raised in a world that is not fair, it's judgemental and full of selfishness. Your kid still has to navigate that world and understand its rules, even if we might disagree with them.

I agree though that we should be a lot more tolerant of things like kids throwing tantrums in a grocery store. I've been through that, it's not fun. Thankfully, people understood what I was doing when I refused to react to my son's behavior. I got understanding nods instead of anger while he melted down on the floor.
Lyft is US and Canada only. Not around the world.
A different (possibly oversimplified) way of thinking about it: the people paying you that rate are only doing so because they're getting a return on that money.

If you can find a way to do what they do (run a successful business) then you would get higher returns being a labor buyer rather than a seller.

Whether those potential returns _adjusted for risk_ are worth it is up to you.
I am talking about a difference in resolution.

Locating a crash within 5 miles makes recovery of the FDR strait forward. A location update every 30 seconds easily provides that and looks like a lot of data. But, to really reconstruct a crash you need a lot more data including control surfaces etc, which is where the FDR comes in.
Also, back when GamerGate was actually relevant, the article was very heavily controlled by someone who liked to track down the social media accounts of editors who disagreed with him, harass them off-site over it, and then accuse them of violating Wikipedia rules and threaten to get them banned if they complained about it on Wikipedia. I think he even managed to get a few of the people he'd harassed banned. Previously he'd done it over things like his personal interpretations of obscure anime plot points, and he brought those tactics to fighting against GamerGate.

To be fair, ArbCom did eventually decide they'd had enough and indefinitely ban him for this - much to the anger of all the folks proudly taking a stand against harassment by fighting GamerGate. (Though it took something like three attempts at bringing it before ArbCom.)

As far as simple quotes go. This sounds optimistic, yet reasonable.

Based on your advice, maybe I should just go to Thailand and freelance as an app/web dev for 3 days per week and play guitar / make electronic music for the rest. I'd wonder how I'd prepare for economic down turns though.

I'd make about: 5000 euro's per month (@ 50 euro's per hour as a freelancer). Living on about 10000 euro's per year, I'd save 20000 euro's after taxes (Dutch, high taxes, yay!). Regardless of that, I guess I wouldn't need to worry about recessions after 2 years of part-time remote freelance work, not in South East Asia anyway.

Sounds doable, at first glance. I need more glances. Especially the, "what about my girlfriend, friends and family?" glance.
>Kids take social cues from their peers, not their parents

How do you figure? Maybe it depends on the person but every interaction I have and have had with people has been framed by the lens of my relationships with family, not my peers.
I think the key might be two things

1. almost everyone doesn't think outside the box -> if just a couple of people do it, there can be big breakthroughs once the group has been convinced, because then suddenly everyone pulls on the same string.

2. post WW2 Japan was a different beast from what it is now. I generally find there's quite a generational difference between people growing up after the war and 20-somethings now. not unlike the US, but for different reasons and more intense, they had to rebuild a whole country.
The problem for Ruby on Rails is that a lot of its good idea were eventually borrowed while it was encumbered by Ruby's performance. No one develop web apps like they did on Java when Rails came out. A lot of good ideas from Ruby and RoR became mainstream and popular but done on faster platforms.
I am really worried that once it becomes a major employer in Virginia area Amazon will actually stop spending money on lobbying and start using layoffs and other muscle moves on their VA area workforce to pressure public officials into caving in to their demands. It probably was the main reason why they 'decided to split' the HQ2 between NY and Virginia. Virginia was in play all along because of its proximity to DC and New York was their main choice because of many reasons that dont need explanation. The whole casting cities and states was a shitshow put on to get New York and Virginia states/cities to give as big tax breaks as possible. So glad New Yorkers didnt play into Amazon's greedy game.
Their model should scale linearly, because everything can be clustered/sharded by geo so nicely, and the scope of a typical transaction is one passenger vs a few dozen potential drivers. That does not significantly change as they grow.
Unlike someone like FB, with their many-to-many everything, Lyft/Uber is a data architect's dream.
As someone who routinely had to hide from truant officers during high school, I turned out completely fine. My grades were bad at first, but shockingly, once I was allowed to sleep in until 10AM because my first 4 classes of the day were "study hall", I had straight As.

Ironically now I am self-employed because I refuse to compromise my schedule for anyone.
Using the word "door" would be best I think.
To me, the question is whether the time spent dealing with compiler errors is due to fixing real problems that the compiler is pointing out, or whether that work is mostly reworking a correct program to satisfy the compiler when it cannot yet see that the program is correct.

> The mom picked up a pebble and said, "'Hit me! Go on. Hit me harder,'" Briggs remembered. The boy threw the rock at his mother, and she exclaimed, "Ooooww. That hurts!"

My son had a tremendously difficult time in preschool with his behavior. One of the ways we were taught by the teachers to mitigate this is that we use a method similar to this. When he would bite, kick, or hit, we would greatly overreact in pain or sadness to discourage him from doing it--to teach him that those things hurt people.

That helped. But his behavior continued to be a significant problem despite various professionals' best methods until the pediatrician began treating him for ADHD. Then we had a complete and total 180.

I wonder how these people would deal with a situation like that? Would we have gotten a better outcome and not had to go a medical route?
Classical, like old radio recordings, seems incomplete to the modern ear. We are used to a full range of sound only rarely expressed by conventional insturments and recording. Thats why you hear many old standards now set to dubstep and techno, for example 'fly me to the moon'.

The music is still valid, but the production, or lack thereof, 'dates' the music.
You should read his manifesto. Here's a copy and paste from it. He is far left.

Were/are you a conservative?

No, conservatism is corporatism in disguise, I want no part of it.

Were/are you a fascist?

Yes. For once, the person that will be called a fascist, is an actual fascist. I am sure the journalists will love that.

I mostly agree with Sir Oswald Mosley’s views and consider myself an Eco-fascist by nature. The nation with the closest political and social values to my own is the People’s Republic of China.

Did you always hold these views?

No, when I was young I was a communist, then an anarchist and finally a libertarian before coming to be an eco-fascist.

Why do you blame immigrants and not the capitalists?

I blame both, and plan to deal with both.
Is there anyplace on the site that gives an overview of each model and how they're different? After seeing the page in the link I'm still left wondering what's new.
It's anticompetitive, but is it illegal? Is it unethical? Does Apple's favoritism of its own products on its platform mean competing products cannot exist on the platform, or that they're less capable/visible?

There are many platforms which rigidly control what's allowed on it. For example, is Netflix comparable? Netflix can control which providers are represented on its platform.

No, not at all. Rust is a very good tool and is useful in many situations. I believe it offers better automatic memory safety.

However, there are many cases when Rust is not a good tool for the job, and when specifically having greater manual control of memory or thread safety is a better choice. Additionally, in many applications you can build almost everything in a fully dynamically typed language, often interpreted as well, and only choose small sections of code to target for a specialized compiled implementation.

In those cases, avoiding the overhead of a compiler and using rapid unit tests with high coverage as an alternative to compiler checks may often be a far safer and superior way to develop code, leading to adequately safe and performant code that is easier to maintain, faster to create, easier to explain, etc.

All I’m saying is that Rust is another tool in the toolbox. It’s not intrinsically or unilaterally better than any other tool, and other tools can inhabit parts of trade-off space that make them better choices than Rust, even for applications that need memory safety or high performance.

In my experience though, most interactions with Rust community leave me feeling like a vocal and significant fraction are trying to seriously claim that Rust is categorically and unilaterally a better choice across almost all possible use cases, let alone across a wide range of practical use cases.
Especially for Lyft, where you can be pretty sure most stuff won’t cross oceanic boundaries: “Raoul is arriving in a white Cunard QM2-G32”
Having your ads next to porn, is very different than having your ads inside a technology that may show porn.

For example, advertisers do not want their ads shown before a youtube clip if it contains porn.

Google is not seen as a 'porn brand' because ostensibly they are just technology - they help you find stuff.

Tumblr had a problem in that a considerable portion of their content was porn.

If it happens that Google develops this popular attribution, i.e. they are known as a 'porn brand' - then people would advertise there, but I don't think this will ever be the case.

FYI - Google also has some content controls, they don't have ads for porn, they don't promote it etc.

Again, this is very easy social math. The 'proof' is not in any of my statements, rather, it's the consistent application by basically every ad agency: they don't want their ads with porn. But they're ok with their ads on a site that may happen to show it if there isn't a branding concern and there obviously is not with Google.
Agreed. Consumerism is part of the problem. People don't want to think about the fact that we might have to accept a different standard of living in order to fight climate change.

No, invalid argument.

Thanks to regenerative braking, a Tesla gets the equivalent of 120 mpg, much better than any ICE car.

In fact the energy used in refining gasoline to drive an ICE car is a given distance approximately the same as the energy to drive an electric car the same. Which means that before you've accounted for turning the ICE car on, the electric car has already arrived at its destination.

A bit of apples to oranges comparison, but Internet Explorer was also the newer entrant in a previous case.
I'm pretty sure "jacknews" was talking about standard cinema scores, written specifically for the movie.
I'd say that the massive investment is necessary because of how uncomplicated this particular system is. Without a large, sprawling, and well-funded project backing it, a simple (and probably far more reliable) solution can lack credibility when compared to more complicated alternatives.

German spy agencies are known to work with/for US intelligence without any hesitations. There was little or rather no consequences at all following the disclosures made by Snowden, although even chancellor Merkels smartphone was wiretapped.

This history (see, it's more about knowing something about politics and history) has lead to the impression that Germany will mostly follow American pressure blindly.

Coupled with the total lack of solid reasons not to use Huawei, this thing just looks like a "don't buy from the Chinese"-request from the US and Cisco.

I've worked with many people over the years who are somewhat passive about their missed opportunities. They talk about trying to start a business, and never go for it. They'll live their _entire lives_ with that feeling of regret that they never tried. you will not.

Terrorism is essentially propaganda and "the global far right" is mostly supported by state actors both domestic and foreign. Islamophobia is of course not the cause, although it could be one of the goals. It's the same way as hatred towards enemy cannot be the cause of war, because it is itself fueled by war propaganda.
