Being a nazi is literally promoting violence and in any case amounts to an end game involving genocide. I agree there should be no censorship. But then you should be very vigilant to not let nazis control the discours as they do now. Nazis are not be talked with, they need to be scared out of the public space so that either they reevaluate their positions and change and can be reaccepted into society or they live pithy lives in solitude.

And for definitions: I think it’s very clear to indentify fascist thought - favorable views on ethnic cleansing and stories about mighty groups of people that can’t be proven should never be tolerated.

I suppose Australia can attempt to make a law saying any company based in Australia or selling products in Australia or with an internet presence available inside the country of Australia must stop using code review in case you ever hire an Australian citizen we want to put backdoors in your code.

I know it was deliberate, and deliberately hiding the story.

Certainly several locals will prefer the name they grew up with. Some find it rolls off the tongue better when speaking English, or just because they used Bangalore for many years already. No such change will ever have 100% coverage in such a short time, yet I think it's worth consciously respecting. Locals will use both interchangeably because it's often used informally, but I think for anything official, it's important to use the correct and official name, which is Bengaluru. Such as here, this is not an informal post by YC but an official announcement.
this is what the free market would do but I thought we don't want that because 'everyone should have affordable healthcare'. Isn't an antivaxer 'everyone'?

"There is no current or planned plane as capable or as survivable as the A-10."

Re:survivability....The A-10 survives being hit. The F-35 avoids being hit in the first place. Modern SAMs like the S-400 will spot and engage the A-10 are farther ranges than they can even detect an F-35. The A-10 can survive ground cannon fire (say from a Pantsir-S1's cannons) better than the F-35...but the F-35 doesn't need to get "low and slow" to deliver ordnance on target in the first place.

If F-35s are tasked with doing gun runs on T-80s, then in your AOC (Air Force operations center) or DASC (Marine equivalent, roughly) somebody sucks at either weaponeering, building an Air Tasking Order, or both.

Why stop there? The user can easily modify the kernel to disable such prevention measures for malicious usage.

We must have a regulation to require a hardware level detection and prevention features of curl which all hardware vendors must follow.
That's not source code, that's just a config file embedded into the firmware. For most firmware, it's a large binary file that often has different sections containing stuff like an OS kernel at one spot, a compressed archive somewhere else, etc. For the Cisco firmware in question in the middle of the firmware is a compressed CPIO archive (think of it like a zip file) that contains the root file system. The router is actually a small linux computer, inside that archive they have a config file for nginx (a web server) that tells nginx to return an error if it sees the user agent string for curl. There's no programming required here, just a trivial configuration change that masks the actual issue.
> "Note that all of these things that they are removing for “security”, could simply be gated around a permission prompt you’d have to accept, as with the contact list, or location."

I think letting the user decide on permissions works in practice only if (i) There is a good chance that an average user would understand the tradeoffs of giving different permissions to different apps (ii) A large majority of users are expected to give that permission to the app under reasonable circumstances.

If an average user does not understand the tradeoffs of giving permissions to an app, then the operating system may as well do it on behalf of the user. I think this is a common problem since an average user probably clicks arbitrarily on the permissions dialog.

Similarly, if a permission is perceived to be not useful enough by most of the users, then there is no point in even having that in the ecosystem.

Mechanisms to form consensus does not necessarily mean rule by mob, quite the opposite. Positive consensus mechanisms can be trust in the scientific method, institutional credibility, and acceptance of reason. These mechanisms can support an enlightenment ideology, not prevent it.

Did you read your own link?

3 of the 4 graphs against time showed right-wing extremism increasing, in Western Europe and North America, the UK, and the USA, respectively. The only graph that didn't show that right-wing extremism is a growing problem instead showed that it has been consistently bad in Germany, worse than the other two categories combined (in that graph, the other two categories were left-wing attacks and "Not Identified").

What's arguable about it?
Don't forget that the bitbucket you use at work (the on-prem one) is a completely different product to the one that runs on bitbucket.com. The on-prem one used to be called Stash but Atlassian in their infinite wisdom decided that having two products with the same name was a good idea.

The on-prem bitbucket is just too basic to really be worth it. Github is much nicer. Gitlab is not even comparable. It's an all in one CI tool that's miles ahead of anything Atlassian offer.
The problem is that there is no objective distinction. If I don't understand what it means to you, it likely means something else to me.

For example, if someone praised their white race, a lot of people would consider that white nationalism. Especially in the context of, say, a national news story.
There is with on-prem bitbucket (formerly Stash).

Annoyingly there isn't on gitlab. It's such a pain for us that it's stopping us moving to gitlab.

Can anyone recommend a better sensor? I’d like to build an upgraded version of this - that way I’ll also learn more.
You can have cables, push rods, hydraulics, power assisted hydraulics, full hydraulic, and electrical actuators. As long as their control inputs are only from the pilot they are identical in every way but their failure modes.

There is big big difference between FBW and the aircraft generating control inputs on it's own. Boeing aircraft had two modes, 'manual' and 'auto pilot' The 737 MAX adds a third case, 'sometimes'

Boeing never told the pilots about the 'sometimes' part. And never told them that 'sometimes' has ultimately more control authority than they do.
Thank you for the clarification. Like I say, I don't know anything about Chinese writing.

I'm aware of course of the pictographic character of the originally Phoenician alphabet. The thing is, I remember when I was learning to write, adults using visual metaphors to help me learn: "now draw a little cane" (for the Greek letter ιώτα), "now a little ring" etc. This was not always possible - for example, "A" was never described to me as a "plow" (I think that's what it actually stands for).

But, visual metaphor doesn't have to pre-exist. A new, arbitrary one can be invented. I mean, a certain brush stroke doesn't have to have a concrete and universally agreed-upon pictographic meaning. If one can be found that happens to work, then that'll do.

But that may be well beyond the state of the art for statistical machine learning algorithms, currently.

It is the prerogative of the nation and its people to choose official naming for international usage. If India, like Myanmar (formerly Burma) wanted to choose a native name as their English representation through a formal process, it is disrespectful bordering on hostile to ignore that, especially as a foreign entity like YC. Nobody is saying anyone should change any names, but once they have, it is important it is respected.

This is a complicated initiative, but it's clear that most people do not recognize the impact or meaning of a choice like this. It is considered equally hostile and rude to, for example:

- refer to a divorcee by their ex family name after an official name change

- refer to a transgender person by the name they had previously after an official name change

It's up to the individual what their name is, and making a name official is clearly indicating what they would like to be referred to. It really shouldn't be that much trouble for outside entities to respect that.
> gold failed as a currency in 1933, but is currently worth $1300/oz

Yes, because gold is a commodity, not a currency.

In fact, if you treat gold as a metal with utility similar to copper, but scale the price of copper proportionally to gold's scarcity, you get a price that is very in line with the actual current price of gold. Since copper's value comes almost entirely from its utility as a metal, this suggests that something similar is true of gold.

That aside, comparing bitcoin to gold makes bitcoin look bad in multiple ways: The analogy is not good, and even if it were good, that would still be a bad thing. The linked article talks about this.

> I suspect the eventual winner will be an inflationary cryptocurrency

Almost certainly impossible. Proper active currency management requires anticipating the public's reaction to the management. Even if an algorithm could do that (in other words, a strong AI which is at least as good as people at understanding human psychology), if the algorithm were public, the public could/would use the algorithm to anticipate changes in currency policy, and that knowledge of the future would change what they do with their money, specifically in the direction of instability. So an open algorithm (a fundamental philosophy of crypto) is fundamentally at odds with the very notion of an actively managed money supply. The linked article talks about this too.
Your point #1 is incorrect. The problem with the larger engines is that their larger nacelles placed further forward produce extra lift at high angles of attack. This lift is further forward than the centre of mass. The certification requirement is that to produce steadily increasing angles of attack, you need to steadily increase back pressure on the yoke. The problem with the Max is that this is no longer true. Past a certain angle of attack, the back pressure needed to further increase angle of attack reduces. The plane is not actually unstable, but it's closer to being so than the certification requirements allow. And it's certainly behaviour that Boeing couldn't claim was similar enough to older 737s to allow a common type rating. Hence MCAS, which was supposed to detect this condition and make the aircraft fly like an older 737. This allowed a common type rating, and allowed the aircraft to be certified. But fundamentally, the airframe has an undesirable property, and you'd never have designed it this way unless the desire for a common type rating dominated other design decisions.
Jumping on this thread, I came 4 year ago starting a company to mentor and coach young people who want to get into MNCs. Think English resume editing, LinkedIn Profile enhancements, interview coaching. Right now, Chinese is intermediate level (I am behind as my work is almost entirely in English).

You can make wonderful friends and the average Chinese is a decent, hard working person. Still, the level of mistrust throughout the society, for very obvious historical reasons, means people keep to themselves. You have to work 2-3x as hard to build brand and reputation. This coming from someone with 5 start ratings and laudatory comments in all our reviews.

And as for the "traction" techniques, quite common in US based startups. Almost none of them work so marketing and demand generation is a long, slow painful effort. Generally, they are in the historical economic cycle where they seen the "value" in an iPhone X. Services to better their lives, other than primary school education, not so much.

Disappointing to say the least as the need for career upgrades/polishing is huge. As someone once said to me, and it took time to really sink in...Just because they use the latest cellphone you do, doesn't mean they think in the same way. Truly the logic here is more convoluted and less linear. Hard to explain.

I love the adventure aspect, not sure I would do it again.
> Or is this a deliberately conflated term promoted as an 'official' label in public discourse in order to dissuade association with those favoring the more benign meaning?

Why would you use the term white and nationalist together? Being white has very little to do with being a nationalist unless you believe it has everything to do with it, in which case you would be racist.
> I believe it's not that unlikely that a prospective employer may ask about my citizenship status

I guess that depends on whether you want to lie to a potential employer then, or alternatively renounce your citizenship.

The difference between a PR and a citizenship though is that you have the privilege to live and work in Australia, your PR visa can technically be cancelled on good character grounds, whereas with citizenship you have the right to live and work in Australia. Unlikely to happen I'm sure, but it's there.

> if you remove MCAS, the plane should be easier to predict

And the prediction is: the plane would then not pass the "is it safe?" tests which don't exist "just so" but to make sure that the plane can avoid to crash as soon as something small and insignificant happens.

Without the MCAS the input from the pilot would lead to plane failing easier in higher angles of attack. The MCAS was added to avoid that. So MCAS should work and should not have a single point of failure, as long as 737 MAX flies. MAX is indeed less stable in higher angles of attack.

All Boeing claims "they can simply turn it off" are misleading. The plane is actually more dangerous without properly functioning MCAS. But to properly function the sensors have to be redundant and reliable, and the control that activates it too. And the control software which deactivates it should also be smart enough that "activate/deactivate" cycle isn't itself the crash cause, which is what it looks like was what directly caused the last two crashes:

- the sensor used was only one, i.e. was not redundant.

- the control software blindly trusted it.

- the software, apart from blindly trusting the input of the sensor, was not even properly tested in the condition of the faulty sensor, specifically, the impact on the pilots.

- the whole feature of MCAS was intentionally downplayed, and even hidden initially, to hide the fact that the pilots would have to train for the conditions in which MCAS fails (it can happen, as it at the end depends on mechanical and computer devices) -- the pilots have to be trained to "save" the plane without MCAS functioning, even if the plane is less stable. Note: MCAS should properly function as much as possible to minimize the chance for any small error causing big crash, but in the case when MCAS is not functioning the pilot still has the chance to save the plane only if he is trained exactly in the simulator which simulates the plane with no MCAS (when the controls don't behave "normally", which is what MCAS provides when working). That kind of training was not made at all because the selling point of MAX was "it's the same old, no need to pay for pilot's training." (Or maybe, then the pilots would know that the chance to save the plane was so reduced that they would complain more about the overall plane design?)

- the decision to "just let pilot turn it off" was based on the false assumption that the faulty MCAS behavior is "obvious" to the pilots so that they turn it off easily.

All that was not implemented in Boeing 737 MAX.

By the way, the sensor looks like this:

And the need for the redundancy was commonly known also before the crash:

Content Monetization and the Shift to Subscriptions
Being best friends with some of the best in the world (+1M earnings) I really want to emphasize this. I've seen my friends be happy after loosing a hand that would have won them an extra 70k in a tournament and really mean it when they say: I'm happy because I played that well, no matter the outcome.
It's all about playing a lot. Eventually, statistics pay off.
What interests me is that the things I've noticed are not necessarily things included in new legislation.

It suggests to me that the intervention is prompting businesses to consider their all round plastic use (i.e. they're making proactive change expecting upcoming legislation) or they're responding to consumer opinion.

Either way, this is a really positive step. Also, more importantly, the public seem supportive. I think the success of the 5p plastic bag charge has made people rethink their opposition to green schemes.
If there were actual accountability, software engineers would have a much better lever against management. For some software this is case. If you write safety critical software you can be held personally responsible for accidents. In those industries engineer pushback is much more effective.
> I also think that conditions are extremely ripe for a currency crisis in the U.S. dollar within the next 5-10 years.

Why?

That is a stretch. Almost none of these currencies are legal tender, anywhere. There is a lot of scams, pump 'n dump, in this world.

I do agree there are valid purposes. Though those are not necessarily legal.

The black market and international market for example. Something like Monero can be used for sketchy business. It can be used to avoid taxes, to pay for drugs, and to get rid of a weak currency.

For me, a European utilizing EUR and staying in legal waters, no it isn't interesting...
