If runaway stab trim caused by MCAS is indeed what's happened it might not have been obvious enough.

It could well be that it is obvious for anyone with the proper training, but then maybe not all airline pilots get the proper training? Or if they have the training but are pushed to hard in the name of cutting costs, and profits?

However, if it indeed was expected to be obvious to all pilots, why even - as I understand it - have the warning on the optional HUD?

Seems like bad safety engineering to have extraneous warnings possibly increasing cognitive load in a a crisis situation.
It's not "would you rather be recorded in video or audio?", it's "would you rather be recorded in just audio, or in both video and audio?".

It's easy and quick to put some tape over the webcam, so unless you use it all the time, there's very little reason not to to so.

Disabling the microphone is harder and maybe not worth the effort.
Thanks :)

Actually they are still being manufactured to this day, that's one thing I didn't mention in the blog post is that you can get a brand new Zilog Z80 today, the 6502 (the CMOS version, 65C02) is also available.
You can probably get them from all the major electronic components stores (Digikey, Mouser, etc).
If you were to use Linux again you should try Gentoo, without systemd, if you want the "full reach" feeling.

I'm drinking from a plastic water bottle right now in NSW, so I'm no sure what you're referring to.

I think I always knew that it doubled the values, but I only recently realized that #888 isn’t 50%, which would be #808080 (rounded).
I really like the humble attitude. When I was studying CS I was like "let me through, I know everything" (I don't). Good for you and thanks for the info.
Two smaller turbines can have the same frontal area, which is what creates the efficiency. It's total area, not diameter. Well it is the amount of power per unit of frontal area.

Turbofan airflow already hits the support structures for the engine. Everything is a compromise of course. Tossing a bit over the top of the wing could be beneficial, with the impact of the wing being less harmful than the alternatives.
Exactly. I am an American citizen, but was still drafted into another country's army.
> it's less insane than popularly reported.

So instead of spending time with your loved ones and living life, you sleep under a desk just to clock in your 12 hours at the office. Sorry, it doesn't seem any less insane.
Great stuff. Look into Fourier transformation / inverse Fourier transformations and clipping to remove the crackling sound.
Wait, are you saying that the aircraft actually exhibited the same failure in the prior flight but the pilot overrode it, and then they let it take off again without warning the new pilots?
> “Open-heart surgery, particularly in low-risk patients, is very profitable,” Dr. Herrmann said.

Sheesh. For-profit hospitals are a foreign concept to me. Seems incredibly cynical to crack open someone's chest, leaving them with a very slow and painful recovery, to then think about profit instead of patient welfare.

Not at all. He actually provided millions of toilets, thousands of kilometres of road and rail, electrified almost all India, help opened bank account with insurance to all Indians, and many things more. This groundwork will make him win the election. This air strike is just "sone pe suhaga".
The title kind of misses the point for me.

A piece of string can lift 100 times its own weight. The interesting thing is that it can lift a reasonable variety of different things delicately, in a reasonably simple way.
If you're a Richter fan, I strongly recommend his notebooks [1], which are well edited and give many insights into him and into his perceptions of the artists of that era. The second half of the book consists of a chronological listing of concerts he played in and records he listened to and his evaluations of both.

Borosilicate glass (and some aluminosilicate glass-ceramic) is transparent, doesn't leech iron or nickel into the food, is easier to clean since limescale doesn't bind easily to it, doesn't rust when exposed to salty water, can be used in a microwave oven, unlike cast iron and stainless steel.

The only disadvantage is that it shatters if you drop it or hit it with enough force.
So this was just a Darwinian exercise, where the plane kept malfunctioning until it found a crew that responded incorrectly?

I hear you about runaway trim, but it seems that you are quite focused on the blades of grass and not looking so much at the lawn.

Nobody has given me an adequate answer to one simple question: what is the indicator the industry will use to determine when it has made the cockpits so complex that the complexity itself becomes a danger? Because we can play this game for a few decades more: manufacturers mod-up old planes with new software, extra training is added to the pilot's schedules, there are crashes where commenters in good faith can say "but that's an obvious part of any pilot's training". Repeat and rinse -- with the proviso that with each round the overall complexity continues to increase.

Technology developers, more than anyone else, are quite cognizant of the fact that we can create technology we ourselves cannot understand. Perhaps the aviation industry and the associated regulators somehow missed this?
As far as Common Lisp goes, you could just install the Portacle distribution of emacs. This is essentially a fully-geared up CL IDE, including all the favourite emacs extensions for development (flycheck, company, paredit, magit, etc) and even SBCL and git!

It provides a single user.el file for user-specific configuration, but as it stands it is an excellent "emacs with great defaults".

thats kind of the issue though. If or when the implementation goes wrong you wont have any other options. In one case the UK's NHS even prevented parents from going abroad for treatments for their terminally ill child.

And there won't be any transparency because the people administering the system have all the power and don't like being embarrassed. Meanwhile then public schools and public broadcasts will bang the drum for that system on a daily basis making sure most citizens feel dependent on it, no matter how bad it really is.

And just to make it real, I personally know someone who was told to wait half a year for an appointment. They personally knew a doctor who told them "you can't wait that long, I am going to pull some strings". Turns out it was cancer. This is in Germany, btw, and it's not an isolated case.
The problem is that this one isn't periodic. That word describes how things in columns (eg with the same mathematical period) have the same properties. Without that feature it's just a table.
The problem is not waste but the fact that is not a problem for consumers or manufacturers. A lot of product packaging only makes sense because you don't have to worry about disposing in a responsible way. Milk used to come in glass bottles, which the milkman would take back for reuse. Not anymore. There's no more milkman and the factory uses cheap to produce one time use packaging. Disposal cost is not their problem.

The solution is twofold.

1) we can do better now at separating waste using AI and robotics. Instead of having 3 or 4 bins at home where we toss things based on our mood, gut feeling, or simply which bin is the least full; a robot could confidently be sorting waste into hundreds of buckets. And unlike humans they'd get it mostly right. Waste becomes a resource when you treat it properly. There are some places where former land fill sites are being mined for precious materials. This stuff is not worthless anymore.

2) Price for disposal needs to be part of the deal when selling a product. E.g. disposal cost for e.g. washing machines is part of the sales price in some countries. They take back the old one when you buy a new one. Already payed for when you bought it. Also, super convenient to not have to do that yourself.
That first chart really annoys me because rather than giving us the names of the languages it uses a logo, which do not really describe what languages are if you do not recognize the logo. And generally it's an extra cognitive layer and load on your brain. Makes it pretty unreadable.

He is right wing ultra nationalist hindu fundamentalist leader. Accused of muslim genocide in 2002 which claimed more than 100 lives. Master in harnessing FUD tactics and social media. Friend of big corporates. He wasn't allowed to enter in US until he became prime minister. Doesn't believe in democracy. Anti-intellectual (many have been murdered).
I think it is the wrong word, it is a fundamental design problem and back to the drawing board, not a matter of fixing some quality control issues.

I think the word they were looking for was 'Samsung Note 7' not 'Andon cord'.
Not responding to the terror attack would likely have painted Prime Minister Modi is a very weak light.

Indian people have become tired of ignoring the 1000 cuts policy of Pakistan and appreciated a PM willing to call Pakitan's N bluff.
>I doubt you can ever eliminate "cash," but only make it worse.

Isn't it pretty bad that you can't use cash to buy online? Cash is becoming far less useful than it once used to be because more and more things can only be bought online or cost a lot more if you don't.
I routinely now work with people who never experienced the world without the internet.

When cars, airplanes, radio and TV were first invented (and commercialized), it must have been relatively easier for folks to imagine life before them. Immediate access to information is truly jaw-dropping.

In many cases it is, so long as you stay away from the other jurisdiction.

In this case, though, it's not that he had such an impression. It's that he didn't know he was a Korean citizen.

If draft is a social contract, what do you call a contract where one of the parties never consented to it and wasn't even aware that someone signed them up without their consent, and then the other party tries to enforce it?
You can use generics and overload resolution to solve satisfiability problems in C# and Java. But not in the way like templates in C++ allow for compile-time computation.
The macro view of things (e.g. policies) doesn't bother me too much anymore. As mentioned, all countries are more or less shit (in their own unique way). It's what one experiences on the ground level in daily life that matters.

Is Germany that much better when you can get fined if you flip someone off (say an idiotic driver on the road) and there are contracts (where you're usually locked in for 2 years with autorenewal and requiring 3 or 6 months' notice to quit) for literally everything?
Not to mention that due to delays building the SLS, Boeing (ULA) may risk loosing the EM-1 flight to SpaceX.

I don't know if the SLS designated (and mostly built) for EM-1 can do the EM-2 mission or other missions, as ULA purpose-builds each previous rocket (Deltas and Atlases) specific to each mission.

Woa that's pretty shit. I'm well aware of the fanfare with which they announced that program so it disappoints me that your experience is so bad.
D is not simple and by default it relies on a garbage collector.

And yes, I meant it's easy to write a simple/"toy"-compiler. TCC is a good example, and I've actually used it for a real in-house project. Not every application requires perfect compatability and good optimization, and it makes it easy to get started on more elaborate compilers.
Yup I've seen that aspect haha.
Where do I find this library? Googling “crclib from Cloudflare” without quotes returns your comment as the top hit :P
He is nationalist leader if he was a fundamentalist then he must have done things representative of that in his 5 yrs in power. Like make India a Hindu nation

He is as accused as Obama is accused of killing thousands of Iraqis.

again if he doesn't believe in democracy, there must not have been elections in India after 2014, which is patently false.

So try again with why western media hates him and always paints democratic India in a negative light even in conflicts against dictators.
Hmm it does look like the other comment responding to you is correct: + is not always commutative in math: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/OrdinalAddition.html. If mathematicians are fine with that, I'm not sure what argument you may have against this operator being non-commutative in a programming language.
So, anyone who claims that Modi is good for India, must be a paid stooge?

This. This is a problem with lot of Indians these days. They can't digest someone can genuinely appreciate positive side of modi or the current government. No one is perfect. Supreme court did not convict modi for 2002. Respect the judiciary.

> The training says to stop that by throwing the stab trim cutoff switches. They're prominently located on the center console.

Not so. First: before Lion Air accident, nobody knew there is a new device that can move the controls that way under these conditions (in that phase of flight etc). The whole device was kept secret by Boeing. Second: the pilots had the trained reflexes what they are to do, and with these, there are more steps to try to overcome such movements before the decision to use the switch. And that’s exactly what the pilots did: attempted the steps before. Which seemed to help, but MCAS kept misbehaving. As the seconds matter, then it was to late.
Citizenship is not about consent. There might be situations where you can out of yours, but I don't think that means that everyone else consents. That said I don't agree with how it works.
Hi Ivan, author here. Happy to read that pynb is useful! it can be used in a similar way (I used it also this way until I required support also for Zeppelin), however, it's limited to Jupyter and there's no Markdown support as you already pointed out.
Or go to any store when you happen to be in Europe. My local department store has an extensive range of bakeware and there are ~50% cheaper brands using borosilicate glass that have performed well for me. They're easily identifiable as they label themselves for thermal shock resistance.
Genocide was probably not the word you are looking for there. Actual genocide is a pretty big thing.
I work in Power sector in India. The claim he electrified all the villages is pure lie and publicity gimmick.

Much of Rural electrification work was done under RGGVY scheme (Congress) . Only minor and finishing part was completed under DDUGJY (BJP).

Also, his original claim was 100% electrification. I have worked in Ladakh region of JK state which is most inaccessible and backward area and I can tell you that there are many areas in Ladakh which are still unelectrified.
FWIW, my Master's did exactly that, but it was still fundamental state of the art stuff.

Like how to prove a huge complex distributed / multithreaded system deadlock free, or how to transform no complete problems into parameterized SAT expressions that SAT solvers can solve (which was pretty state of the art at the time). Those were super fun to learn and do, but I can't say I apply much of it at my company.

In other words, I agree both with you and the commenter you're replying to.
I guess my point is that's just not true for every building. I've never worked in a building with fancy HVAC. So dismissing the issue as solved doesn't work for me.

My last office was a skyscraper and it's AC was just domestic wall mounted conditioners. There was ventilation, but it was only in the central area.

The office before that was a two floor building with the same thing, except no ventilation in the door and solid roofing. Ventilation came from wall vents to outside. The conference room got stuffy and we would have to leave the door open. In our offices we would just open the windows. The office before that was a three story narrow building with openable windows and domestic AC units again.

All very professional commercial buildings, but definitely no fancy HVAC.

This sounds really interesting. However if you do want to distribute this widely, I would check if they have any patents on their devices because stupid American IP laws.
Right, I'm saying that in Canada if a university decides to revoke a degree, I can't imagine a court hearing a lawsuit beyond checking that the university in question was procedurally fair.

Another aspect of this is the value of having trusted brand and products. It saves time to buy premium trusted brand, no research, low risk, no regrets. Until there is. Now there's a significant burden of research, and some addition risk.
In the early 2000s there was a lot of talk about KitchenAid switching to plastic gear housings. They switched back after a few years either due to backlash or warranty issues.

No man! Not to clock hours. To chill out, after eating a super huge excellent lunch. With the kinds of lunches the Chinese eat, trying to get back into working hard right after is futile. Gotta let it sink first.

Sounds to me that you simply disagree whether having a great lunch and a relaxed working atmosphere is a valuable part of "living life". I suspect that my priorities are more like yours than the average Chinese, but I disagree that you can call them insane for a chilled out work ethic and a foodie culture. It's different, and indeed family gets almost no time and IMO that sucks balls, but it's not the nasty Nazi work regime people make it out to be.
Right now Muslims aren't allowed to enter our country.

I wouldn't judge someone based on whether or not they are allowed to enter my country. I would say judging that way would be anti-intellectual.
John Cleese: “So, Anyway ” (Talks at Google)
He is at the core a hindu fundamentalist, and the fastest India can get over him and his party, the faster India can transition to a fully westernized liberal society and government.

He runs his government like a PR machine for himself, while reform and progress has all but stalled under his watch. Free speech and Free press are under threat in India now.

The day in which McDonald's can sell their big Mac in India is farther now, than ever.

For all its good points, I find Indian constitution a weak document, insufficiently protecting the citizens from abuse of power by the government. The federal structure is half formed, states not having enough freedom to pursue policy.

The tort law has not yet been codified, civil law is weak, forcing most matters to be adjudicated through criminal law, which is bad for plaintiffs. Most ills of India n life like poor regard for people's safety and well-being can be traced to the lack of a tort law, yet nothing has been done for it by the government.The similary lack of effective recourse to class-action litigation.

In addition to all that, problems in Kashmir appears no nearer to solution, rather it has deteriorated. Only way any progress can be made looks to be comprehensive negotiations with all stake holders, yet this Government has never shown willingness to do so and has even shutdown the elected legislative of that state.

It might depend on country but I can tell how it works in Finland.

If you are in Finnish army then you will fight against your other country. But Finnish army doesnt allow being member of multiple armies. So if you have gone trough, as an example, US service Finnish army wont accept you. And if you go to US army after gaining rank in Finnish army you lose the Finnish rank and are just a civilian.
