FAR 25 has a number of specific requirements around pitch stability, specifically, FAR 25.255(b)(1) and FAR 25.203(a), and some others. FAR 25.203(a) says "No abnormal nose-up pitching may occur. The longitudinal control force must be positive up to and throughout the stall"

My understanding is that on the MAX, without MCAS, once you've pitched up beyond some AoA beyond 12 degrees or so, you can let go of the yoke, and the plane will continue to pitch up further until it stalls. That does not comply with the regs, and so you have MCAS which dials in some nose down trim in this situation to counteract the aircraft's natural tendency to pitch up further.

Originally the telephone network was directly switched, that means that it effectively connected your phone directly to the caller's. There was no need to route a return path because, well, it was as if you had a copper line going from your phone to the caller's. In such a setup the caller might not even need a functional phone number, just an entry point into the network.

It's very different from a packet switching network where data is cut in small chunks with a header meant to be routed across the graph (and in which case you need to be able to find your way back for the reply somehow).

Of course I expect that modern phone networks have evolved massively from the early days but I'm sure that this original design decision still makes what you're proposing difficult. There's a lot of historical baggage.

I wouldn't pay attention to these groupings. They are artificially grouping on arbitrary factors and paying attention to the pros/cons could lead you astray.

For example: Regression shouldn't be it's own group because regression is commonly used in many decision tree algorithms. This group would be more apt to be described as 'linear models'. There are many different types of dimensionality reduction algorithms that are very different from LDA or PCA. The ensemble group are mostly decision tree algorithms and while technically they are ensembles, that is not what is thought of by most DS. AND, the NN categories show some of the elements of an algorithm (back-prop for example) as being an actual algorithm. I could go on...
Definitely didn't say I don't care about journalism, just that if this is the future I'd rather it died, consequences be damned. To me, a future with only paywalls is nearly as bad.
Very interesting technique. I remember when they would reverse engineer chips by grinding them down while taking nice pictures of each layer for the engineers to interpret later.
> 90% of the plastic in the ocean comes from Africa and Asia

You might find this reddit comment interesting, because it debunks this statistic.

https://www.reddit.com/r/badscience/comments/aj0idr/debunkin...

Plastic in the ocean comes from roughly 3 sources: industrial equipment, microfibres from clothing, and land-based waste carried into the sea by rivers.

The 90% figure only applies to this last one.
>You're suggesting they knew the premises were false at the time. They very likely did not know that at the time; nor did any of the major media outlets.

It was absurdly obvious.

At an absolute minimum for balanced reporting, they should have clearly reported both the official "WMD" line and the fact that a massive number of people were calling that assessment bullshit from day 1.
I have not compared it to LuaJIT, but given that Lucet uses an AOT architecture, its hard to make a fair comparison.

There is no GUI story yet, but Lucet provides a WASI (https://wasi.dev) implementation, so as that standard evolves, we may be able to support GUIs through those interfaces.
That doesn't solve the problem where legitimate numbers are spoofed, does it? It seems my number is among the many that are being used by robocallers, because I sometimes get texts from strangers saying "who are you?", or "sorry, can't talk now".

The usually the part that fails is this:

"- developers pick them, implement them, and put them up for review"

In quite a few cases it turns out that it's not so easy to implement what you thought first because there is a bug in some system you are using or some other component needs to be changed too and suddenly the whole plan falls apart. There is no amount of planning you can do to avoid this. Unexpected things come up all the time.

I am not saying that health care can't improve but by nature it's much less predictable than manufacturing a car.
Yea this is a location thing. Im no rockstar ninja wizard, nor have I ever lived in a 1st tier tech hub like SV. I'm a competent professional with 2 decades of experience, but not particularly remarkable in any way. Here in the US there is a good market for competent professional software developers, and not just in the SV bubble. Any competent professional with 5 or 10 years experience can get 100k USD or more a year job with a 40 hour work week at a stable(non-startup) company in almost any medium or large city in the US. It may not be their very first job offer, but with a little work they can definitely find one. Thats one reason why maybe 10 to 15% of my US based coworkers are Europeans who have come here in large part for the better job opportunities.
This is actually an interesting calculation. I'm not sure how I'd do it. We'd have to figure out what percentage of US defense funding goes toward NATO or NATO members specifically.
y, I used to think this way. We went on a river clean up(major river in the midwest), they take you in a small boat up river and drop you off. I wasn't expecting we would not accomplish much. 8 of us a mix of kids and adults we collected a huge pile of trash and debris from the edge of the river. The volunteer group comes by and picks up all the piles of trash the groups collect while we are eating lunch and piles it up in the parking lot. The twenty groups that went out made a huge difference. It was an amazing amount collected.

A lot of small efforts can make a huge difference. I think setting a good example in the first world will translate world wide.

Never underestimate the tiniest effort/gesture.

We also do a road side cleanup, I assure you the first world doesn't put all their garbage in the trash. It's amazing what people will just throw out their window.
Could you elaborate a bit? How do Bayesian methods avoid misinterpretation?
And also, both sides don't exactly follow MAD:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credible_minimum_deterrence

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_deterrence

Basically, it's not "I can glass your whole country" but more "I can nuke a few of your main cities, you will survive but it will hurt".

Mostly, only the USA and Russia can follow MAD, the other nuclear powers with a few hundreds warheads, follow Minimal Deterrence.
Its an interesting problem, because that's generally not the goal of individual workers, including those in management roles. Their goal is usually on a much shorter term - get promoted quickly.
Yes, so we would require a 3rd, maybe a 4th?
>taking a number from the firm's name

I'm lost as to what is meant here by "number". Are you saying the target firm was randomizing its iceberg order's component order sizes using the same seed? If yes, how could the target firm's usage of that seed be known by the "attacker" here?

Many years ago an old gmail email address of mine was used in spam messages. Instead of looking and seeing that those emails didn't even originate from my account, my account was locked.

Side effects? My iPad became an expensive bookend because Apple stopped allowing me to update my software as soon as I no longer could authenticate with the registered account. I couldn't even reset it, since that requires said authentication. More than a decade later, and that account remains just as locked as the iPad...

Both companies, imho, handled this in the worst way possible.

I believe the city of Portland OR recently sued a Danish man for "practicing engineering without a license". They were upset at him for generating strong proof of shortened yellow light times at intersections with red light cameras. He had a degree (and I believe a certificate) from Europe, but it wasn't recognized by the Authorities.
Isn't the algorithm for this trivial? Convert the lat-long to a single number by Z-order (Hilbert curve if you like pain), optionally use xor and bit-rotations (which are both bijective) to scramble it, then divide it into chunks and lookup in a dictionary. How do you sell that to an investor who knows how to code?

(It can be made hierarchical, just chunk the lat-long first!) (Just clean the dictionary of any homonyms!) (You can get error correction by XORing the three word indexes together to generate a check word!)

Probably not. First of all, "bravo tree uppercase delta mike uppercase quebec" isn't as memorable as "mouse hat door". Further, the NATO alphabet works because both the speaker and the listener understand what's coming. If the listener isn't familiar, then the speaker often needs to revert to "s as in sierra, k as in kilo, y as in yankee"—which tends to cause even more confusion as the listener then needs to parse the (intentionally) unusual set of words.
High school is about giving you basic education and social skills.

like it is in 99% of developed societies

This is a fatuous argument. Neither you nor I are education experts, and throwing out a fake statistic just makes you look foolish. You have not done a study of 100% of developed societies to draw your conclusion. You're just making assumptions to justify your pre-conceived notions.
Where did I say... literally any of that?
A friend of mine in Indonesia started something similar. They had 3 people. Their food delivery business basically existed on instagram. Their menu and everything was on there, they took orders over the phone or through instagram, they cooked everything up at home and delivered it themselves by motorcycle. Apparently they were making decent money, but because of local customs regarding women working and such, were not able to continue.
There's a huge problem with unsorted or poor quality recyling or waste electronics being illegally exported from first world countries [1] and ending up in landfills or just dumped in piles, across the world, fix that first, then move on to something else.

Not that I'm especially surprised but the concept of subsidiarity isn't worth much these days is it?
I once reviewed a journal article that at least a few pages of plagiarized text in it. I noticed only because I thought some sentences sounded like I wrote them, and as it turned out, I did write them. Not surprisingly, I found the paper even worse from a technical standpoint, so I gave it a rather negative review. I tried to be as helpful as possible, even suggesting what they should do instead of what they did. It appears the paper was rejected.

Fast forward 6 to 12 months. I found what seems to be a descendant of the paper published in another journal. While the vast majority of the plagiarism I identified was removed, they added some parts plagiarized from my review. I contacted the journal, who replied that plagiarism detection software didn't find anything. I replied that it wouldn't because a confidential review would not be in their system. Plus, I gave them a list of plagiarized parts; all they had to do was check against the paper. I told them that I did not spend much time checking for plagiarism, so for all I know there's a lot more plagiarism in the paper. The journal representative never did anything about the paper, unfortunately. I now refuse to publish in that journal and discourage others from publishing there as well.
Well, Meituan is still losing money according to this article. I am guessing they're still branding and building loyalty before they defer to increasing their costs and generating money through other ventures?
I think you are raising a valid point. What is considered a basic feature is a constantly moving target. The proxy-caching in Kong Enterpise is implemented as a plugin, and it is not that complex. All our new plugins are developed outside Kong open source repository. Some of them are public and some are private. Some of them we include in our default packaging. Ultimately this is a product decision. I think we have some features in open source that could have been enterprise only, and vice versa. I work mostly on developing the Kong core (open source), but at the same time, I think that having a healthy business, will help the open source too. Who knows, your wish of proxy caching plugin , we will endup moving from enterprise to open source.

> I'm sure it (far-right violence) exists.

Given multiple, recent mass killings (as well as additional disrupted plots) with explicit far-right motivation that have gotten widespread, in some cases global, news coverage, it is more than just something that vaguely exists.

> But most of the videos I have seen online show antifa initiating violence.

That really says a lot more about your selection of information sources than ground truth.

> Are we just more willing to accept their behavior because they are fighting for the "correct" side?

I think we're more willing to accept their behavior because there aren't bodies being piled up in job lots due to antifa-initiated or -motivated violence.

I applaud the ends but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the means.

In circles where discipline is valued, rote tasks aren't worthless. Considering them to be beneath you can be a trap.

Those easy steps help keep you centered on your craft. They might even give you time to prepare for what comes after. Taken too far they can rob you of the time to pursue skill advancement, sure. But eliminating them completely? I think that will turn out to be a mistake in ways we can't anticipate (possibly very different from the concerns I already stated above).

The Federal Government does go after illegal arms dealers, so I’m not sure your point.

Otherwise arms dealers have a federal law that protects them in gun/ammo sales from the acts of their buyers.

That said notwithstanding federal protections arms dealers can be liable for the acts of their buyers if the seller knew or should have known the buyer was making the purchase to commit a crime.

Here FB knew or should have known they were being paid to publish an unlawful ad (at least factually FB knew the filters were applied, reviewed these ads and approved them for publication in violation of the law).

I’m not sure why you think preventing FB from knowingly publishing illegal ads is on par with anything else you are suggesting (ie “going after gun sellers”). Gun sales and ads are both legal...until they are not.

Why do you think it’s right to go after the ad creator only and allow FB to continue to profit on and facilitate the illegal acts themselves?
As a brown person this pisses me off, liberals keep pushing for these social justice rules on the platforms to silence content they find offending.

If your argument is that "they don't have right to access the platform", you are acting ignorant when you know there are only handful of platforms on internet.

The next step would be blocking DNS registrations of websites whose content you don't agree with, oh wait there is entire country which does this and you disagree with that country's rules too.

> Slightly related, but a downtown restaurant can't have it's kitchen in the outskirts.

That seems intuitively obviously true...but it's not, entirely; food needs to be finished on site, of course, but central kitchens for restaurant chains (or groups, where the individual restaurants are branded differently) are a common thing, and very often are located in lower rent outskirts than where many of the supported restaurants are.
I'm 50. Been in IT across three decades. There is very little in my wheelhouse that I cannot do or learn within a very short amount of time. Yet... I fight to find decent work that I am more than capable of doing.

IT salaries in Texas suck horribly. I've fought this since leaving the East Coast. Being that my wife is from here and my own parents are long gone, I agreed to let my wife be near her own family.

At 50, I can:

- Admin anything *nix or Windows under the sun. I used to run Sun E10Ks for Network Solutions and more than 100 FreeBSD/Linux servers at one time.
- Can write Python, Perl, Ruby, PowerShell, C#, Bash, awk, and am learning Go as I write this.
- I can build any web server or database server under the sun, can write programs to do basically whatever a server or sysadmin might need, usually in a matter of hours, not days.
- I can perform security assessments, as I used to be a pen tester. I have the experience and the certs (required from a previous employer).

Yet... I struggle to find work in my own damn country! IT for older workers does indeed suck. I now work for a non-profit coding and some other IT work. Not a bad fit, but the money could be a lot better. On the East Coast, I was a six-figure guy. Here? Good luck, even if you're 30 and have a masters in whatever and 10 years of experience.

Am I bitter? A little. American IT workers, unless they are current darlings in a hot area or arena, struggle. I'm actually working on starting my own MSP IT firm with a suitable partner almost my own age whose experience rivals my own. Good MSPs in this area can do very well.
