If you're not trained on the MCAS feature, an "AOA disagree" indicator is going to tell you what? That stall warning may not work reliably?

There's more going on here than just MCAS and angle of attack sensors though. From the KNKT preliminary report:

At 23:31:09 UTC, the LNI610 PIC advised the ARR controller that the altitude of the aircraft could not be determined due to all aircraft instruments indicating different altitudes.

Crash happens 45s later. (More correctly, the FDR stops recording.)

From the same report, four separate maintenance records containing one or more defects in: indicated airspeed, indicated altitude, speed trim fail, mach trim fail. These were reported by multiple crew, repaired by maintenance per manufacturer procedure, and tested, and error state cleared.

The stick shaker was active for all of Lion Air 34 and most of 610. That is not an airworthy aircraft, and the preliminary report states this.

Obviously something does not pass the smell test. Either there's a very serious problem with the prescribed repair and verification procedure. Or there's a very serious crime if the claimed repairs and/or verification are inauthentic. Both seem incredible to me.

Common to airspeed and altimeter is the static system.

But as a pilot what really gets my attention, and not in a good way, is that apparently automation is confused, detecting multiple current sensor disagreements and flags, and yet it's still taking action.

This comparison is just like comparing apple to orange to me.
When a company blocks you, you could just voice your opinion on another platform. It's an open internet afterall. But if it's the government, the center of all power, that blocks you, you just have no other way.
That is the difference of having and not having freedom of speech.
If the people are really concerned about Google's and Apple's business with Saudi Government, they have the freedom to go for the third option. It may seem difficult but it's totally possible and viable. But under an authoritarian regime like China, even the freedom choice is an illusion.
If it's paired with the option to disable throttling, absolutely.
I agree, instead of "giving in", we as technologists should take the opportunity to provide some context as to why our website is not working as intended.

But, all bets are all if you lose significant share of your business as morality takes a backseat when it comes to profitability, market share and business goals.
My experience with the SFPD was very different — I'm sorry you had such disappointing experiences.

The first time I called 911 was when a man coming down from drugs tried to kick in my fire escape window. Four police were in my apartment within five minutes; they arrested and handcuffed the man. I couldn't have been more thankful.

My second interaction with the police occurred when I was punched in the face a couple of times while riding a Muni bus (San Francisco Mass Transit). The driver pulled the bus over while me & two other passengers held the guy until the police showed up (within minutes). Again, the police detained the gentleman who had punched me in the face.

Whenever I've needed the police, they've been there.

You can certainly drink yourself into coma with beer. Teens drinking 6-10 beers is not an uncommon thing at parties at that age.

That said practically the 16/18 distinction also isn't that important. If you are 16, you typically hang out also with some people that are >= 18, and which will then buy the other things. People might not necessarily start drinking with hard liquor, but the time to it is typically not 2 years.

I love how they are giving cows grazing grass as an analogy leading to the possible explanation of the quantum effects. Of course, as cows are lazy to climb hills, atoms are also lazy to climb the invisible hills so they roll back to the valley). It's proof that a farmer heard the "whoever solves this gets a nobel prize", and wanted to give it a go.

I 'll give it a go too. IT'S A RACING CONDITION!!!! See. In the latest patch, we switched universe rendering from QT to Electron, because we read a very compelling argument on twitter. As you know, certain CSS properties cause reflows, repaint, relayouts. Here, outside of time, WASM still didn't get the needed adoption, so in order to optimize universe rendering, we split it into different threads. However, these threads do not have shared memory, so what happens is you change state in thread A. In order to have you see a loading gif, we make the change locally to your system but it is not propagated everywhere yet, then the render loop runs again, and it overwrites the local change you made. You need to hit the particles with an attribute that will trigger a recalculate style call, not just a repaint, because repaint is overwriten and does not actually modify the element's width and height.

I'd say that this is nearly impossible.

We talk about two different data sets here:
* The actual User data.
* Data from third persons, including, but not limited to their e-mail address.

While a user can agree that their own data should be processed by a third party, the problem is that he cannot consent for other people.

And in my understanding (INAL), every part of the software where those third person information is transferred or processed needs to be part of that full assessment.

A limited API that does not give out any third persons data would have to somehow filter out all the information of all third partys.

Firstly: play around with the zoom. I have a much easier time with these at smaller sizes. Second, lean in close to your monitor, so that your eyes are straining a bit to keep the image in focus. Let your eyes "relax" out of focus. At first this might seem the same, but you're getting your eyes to effectively un-cross. Line up the three dots and you should now see the hemisphere in front of the plane, rather than as a cutout.
I see you're a novice to legal-ese, while pedantically forming your opinion based on... Sentence construction? Not the content?

I guess we'll just have to deal with a Europe without memes. We'll see only slower, mass-market-only creators on the internet. The small businesses, the artists, the actual innovators will have no seat at the table... because you cannot wrap you head around a multi-clause sentence.

If you're going to be that American about this, you can keep your Brexit.

On the off chance that you're here to learn instead of just quasi-Schrute-ing on everything? I would suggest you watch a couple documentaries: "Rip: A Remix Manifesto," and "Everything is a Remix," to learn how creativity works. Any efforts to restrict derivative works, such as from these small outlets, demolishes the human ability to create. These are creative commons works, so I trust you to find them without having to buy a DVD/bluray.
My point was not a claim that there is no such thing as spirituality or value in intuition, or even past lives, something I don't pretend to know.

My point was: that the terms "rational & scientifically grounded" are features best ascertained by examination of an argument itself, not as traits that become applied to a person as a whole and then inherently imbue each claim that this person then makes from that point onward.

There exist people with almost identical "qualifications and positions" that Jordan B Peterson has who demonstrably make arguments that are not "rational & scientifically grounded", therefore these "qualifications and positions" are at best a poor marker for the properties or qualities we are seeking, and cannot be the quality itself.

No it's not an intranet. Chinese people still connect to the internet.

They've got a firewall around their whole country, not unlike any firewall a corporation might put up to prevent their employees from accessing content the company disagrees with (like viewing pornography/4chan from the network).

Sounds like you need educating on the differences.
US quality of life for many is already pretty close to what you'd see in (granted, middle-class-level) China. The system is able to handle it because a lot of people don't even get to experience how so many other developed nations have a stronger foundation for everyone. They just assume that life sucks and that there isn't a better way.

And even rich people in the US are satisfied with pretty terrible experiences because US culture is so disconnected from everything else that they don't get that things are a lot nicer elsewhere! Nothing like visiting someone's multi-million dollar home with worse plumbing than cheap 1-room studios elsewhere in the world.
More groups of people cope with restrictions, more momentum towards doing so; less protest against it.

it's a pretty simple idea. If you work within a framework, you're complicit by default.

You can look at it two ways : You're helping the folks in China; or you're helping the world's largest walled garden remain that way by adding content.
damnit I looked everywhere for that easter egg and didn't find it.
EO's are almost wishes rather than imperial proclamations, so its interpretation of intent seems patently ambiguous:

- actually allowing free speech that is legal anywhere public, including hate groups

- ostensibly allowing "free speech" by silencing others trying to encourage change towards a more civilized society, i.e., BDS. AIPAC, Likud and various organs of the Israeli govt already conduct highly-organized covert PR and political operations on university campuses to shout "antisemite," "terrorist" and libel and slander anyone who seems to oppose Zionist apartheid (without a shred of conspiracy theories or actual antisemitism)... Chris Hedges and TRNN have reported on this extensively.
Then we should own up to the fact that the world is basically a plutocracy now, at all levels of society, and drop all pretenses to the contrary.
I think the situation on the FOSS side is compounded by the fact that gdb, while it's unquestionably not in any way "state of the art", is also not totally useless, so there's less of a reason to create something that's truly excellent. Moreover, there are whole generations of programmers now who think that tooth extraction compares favorably to using a debugger.

If there wasn't gdb/lldb at all, I'm pretty sure Linux/BSD would have a debugger that's far better than any closed source counterpart.

It was primarily the former. Had I been in a jurisdiction where it was legal, it seems very possible I would have tried some of the alcoholic drinks—of course I don't know this for sure, because that's not what happened. I didn't have a strong desire for it at the time, so it's not an ideal test case, but neither is it an isolated case; other situations with age-restricted materials or activities went very similarly.

(I'm eliding and slightly distorting a lot of surrounding details both because my memory of the time is often fuzzy and because I don't feel inclined to detail too much of my ancient personal life here. The central points, however, I'm clear on.)

It might be worth adding, to circle back toward the original topic, that while I notice that this isn't “normal” in much of the US (where I live), people around me have wondered whether I got this tendency from somewhere else. (In fact, I had one (non-Japanese) Asian immigrant parent, and while that one was quite chaotic about following the local laws, it's possible that more indirect connections had strong subtle influences.) Some societies are much more regimented and/or conformist, and Japan is frequently described as both (not that I would know what bearing it has on these specific questions). The “natural pattern of rule breaks” is not universal, neither in cultures where it's nearly-expected, nor between cultures.
This. Maybe you have faith in the product and the IP, but these are worthless if the people who can help transfer all the knowledge to a possible acquirer are gone.

If the founders were the only engineers maybe there's still some chance that they can manage an acquihire for themselves, but it would be worth pennies, and any transaction will likely be below your option execution price.

Firing all the employees is a rather transparent signal that liquidation events (or any financial events) are off the table, and founders are simply debulking expenses to kill the company.

Also, the simple and straight forward solution to your problem is simply to ask them. These might be hard times for the founders but a short and candid message asking about the situation wouldn't hurt. They probably don't want you or anyone spending their money in a dead company.
No, it's not. Incorrect on all levels. Please stop. Do yourself a favor and give everyone else the courtesy of checking your references.

Ask HN: How to find summer housing in the Bay Area?
I'm an incoming summer intern at a FAANG company looking for housing either in SF or near the campus in Sunnyvale. How does HN recommend looking for relatively affordable housing (<$1.8k/month for a private room) in the SF bay area? Are Craigslist and AirBnB good places to look or are there better tools? Thanks!
That's a reasonable supposition, but having seen the remastered TNG and the documentary about it's creation, I don't think it's true. The models are very detailed and look great in HD. One could surmise that the model creators knew their models might be used in TNG feature films (as indeed some of them were). Or maybe they were just super-dedicated and liked making really detailed models.

Yah, and we know that 99% of folks just next - next - next when installing everything on their phone, laptop, console.

So many apps want access to stuff that isn't obvious (e.g. games that want to access your photos, emails, and msgs) though most people skip the alerts when installing.

I just tried this on one of my old favorite games, "Stars!". I used to be able to search for that. But google ditches the !. Even quoted. Even verbatim.

"Stars! game" (with or without quotes) helps a little. The right wikipedia page is linked. Mostly it's drowned out in a sea of stuff about the Dallas Stars, NBA all stars, etc.

"Stars! game windows" is getting closer and has more results, but it's still cluttered up with results for various windows games, companies (StarDock), etc. that have nothing to do with what I want.

The real trick here is to search for Stars AutoHost, since that was one of the hub websites of the game. Doesn't need to be verbatim, quoted, anything. Suddenly, the actual page titles actually have "Stars!" - complete with exclamation mark - in them.

This isn't an edge case for me. C++, C#, ".NET", tons of tech thinks punctuation is cool and (ab)uses it. To say nothing of all the various operators these languages have. Bleh.

It’s not about performance scaling (although you do have to contend with those issues, as you’re network and not CPU bound), but about data integrity workload management. Each time a customer submits a ticket because you couldn’t catch an edge case when IMAP polling, that’s someone digging through logs to understand why, and determine if a patch provides ongoing resolution (or if nothing can be done other than an apology). That’s not scalable past a certain point.

Hence, (hopefully well supported and documented) REST interfaces.
There are still consequences under no-fault auto insurance. First of all, you can still get a ticket for causing a crash. Second, your traffic record increases your insurance premium. Also you could get injured yourself. I don't think crashing cars is something sane people would do in the absence of the insurance system.

Since everybody has mandatory liability insurance, on average the net money transferred between insurance companies is probably close to zero, whether money changes hands in lawsuits or not.

The aim of no-fault in my state was to reduce the number of lawsuits that arose over petty incidents, that were flooding the courts.

If you can find objective metrics that justify investing, great. But if the majority of your decision is emotional it's probably not a great choice.

I would look at what they're doing not what they're saying. They're playing up their opportunities, but firing everyone. The actions speak louder than their words.

Almost every startup has a great idea, a great product and a great team (and if they don't they will still sell you on the idea that they do have all these things).

What great startups have is all of those things plus great market fit plus great adoption plus great investors.

If it's all show it's a no go.
