a lack of redundancy in a mission critical sensor

There is redundancy in the sensors, but the sensors are not being used in a redundant manner. There are whispers that the 767 fuel tanker (KC-46/KC-767) has a system similar to MCAS that will look at both alpha vanes for disagreement, which is a bit damning to say the least.

a blind trust on MCAS's priority over pilots

The entire purpose of MCAS is to engage only when the pilot is flying to prevent the pilot from doing something dangerous. Previous generations of 737 had the same problem but the MAX is more delicate and compounds it with nacelles that generate lift.
> Or is that pretty much the industry standard right now

Half the industry uses three or four AoA sensors with majority voting.

The other half ( Boeing ) uses two.
> Funny you talk about quality insurance, but its employer provided insurance that's higher quality than the government or self paid ones.

Government insurance, at least for federal employees, is actually very good, and for the same reasons you stated. There are few with as much bargaining power as governments.

But I don't quite get your point. You said that 70% of people are happy with their insurance. And my point was that doesn't seem very high at all as most people aren't that sick. You can't use a majority's viewpoint to judge the quality of a service that they don't use.

> with Boeing aircraft when the autopilot is off you're fully manual

The 777 and 787 are full-time FBW, there is no manual reversion. There is no way to move the control surfaces directly. The only difference with the AP engaged is the origin of the control demands.

So who is flying in a 737 MAX when it comes back?
Great post, thanks!

Is there a reason why the training is started off with two separate matrices - the embedding and the context matrix? If the context matrix is anyway discarded at the end, why not start and work with only the embedding matrix?
Is it the ammount of lift of the nacelles or the forward position of this extra lift?
you say that as if we didn't just have two years of progressives and media smearing people they disagree with as alt-right.

Doesn't matter what they believe or say:
Sam Harris? Alt-right. Tim Poole? Alt-right. Jordan Peterson? Alt-right. David Rubin? Alt-right. And that's just the leftists!
You're right, that's the policy there, it's just not enforced.

Conference rooms there do have to be scheduled, but there are no locks on the doors or anything. I was 15 minutes into a 30 minute block once and some guy just opened the door and walked in. There are windows on the doors, he just didn't look. Then he looked surprised when he realized I was there. I put my meeting on hold and he told me he had the room at 2pm. I said something like, "I have it until 2, right?" He said he didn't know, turned around and walked out.
The CFM Leap-1B (new engine on 737 Max) are bigger than the CFM56-7B, so Boeing had to change the mounting point of the engine (further forward and higher on the wings).
Even if you are winning and can tolerate the grind, as soon as you go up in stakes you lose most or all of your edge and variance goes way up. The ugly truth about poker is its only fun if there are fish feeding chips to the good players. As soon as it gets truly competitive you might as head to the roulette tables because at-least there you have consistent odds and don't have to grind out hands for hours to get your gambling kicks.

I have a four year old son who is diagnosed with autism spectrum. As a father I would like to know from adults with autistic tendencies what I should do to make him happy and to help him grow up to become independent and self-reliant and what I should avoid.

Autism spectrum is a very wide field, I realize, so I tell you that my son probably has neither Asperger nor AD[H]D, but perhaps early infant autism and as it seems not in a very severe manifestation but distinct enough that I sometimes have to explain it to other parents at the playground, for example.

August he will start kindergarten in a private school with Montessori pedagogy, in fact, he already attends a playgroup there two times a week and one afternoon outside in the woods and he always returns happy from there.
Looks very neat, Though I felt uncomfortable with spreading of routes-information through the component tree if I have to look for which routes matches, I need to traverse through the component tree, It will be useful if there is some utility like rails routes.
After always wanting to play poker in a casino, 2 years ago I did.

I payed 100$ sat down, played a few hands and 20 minutes lateri was done.

I liked the experience and I will not play again in a casino:

- dealer is really quick. It's stress and you can't think
- you can see super quick who will lose all at the end of the day and who is here to grab it from the others
- they don't like to talk just
Don't see the appeal to learn to become so much better so that I might become good. Prefer to just go to work

I want my virtual assistants more realistic, not less. This sounds nothing like a real person.
I see a lot of software folks, myself included, not “solving for compensation” because we make pretty good money compared to other professions, find the work stimulating, and don’t want the stress of job hopping.

But it’s also import to remember that any year your “merit increase” is lower than inflation, you are actually getting a pay reduction (and official inflation usually lags behind rent and some other expenses).
If FAANG market caps keep being flat like last year, I would say the situation will become stable, not exploding like the last 5 year where those stocks have gone up 4-5 times.

Only married couple who both work in tech can afford buying a home, and major of them still need to send kids to private schools because only a handful of cities have good public schools, and these cities are extremely expensive (Palo Alto, Los Altos,...)
I don't understand why people bother to commute for two hours just to serve wealthy tech workers. Is there really such a lack of opportunities that people have to work in places they can't afford to live in?

And even if you can afford to live there, why would anybody raise their kids in a place that's so expensive that the kids are almost guaranteed not to be able to afford to live in once they grow up?

I don't have a dog in this race, I just want to add the historical perspective.

I think that Bitcoin already has failed as a currency, outside of black markets. However, that won't stop it from having value: gold failed as a currency in 1933, but is currently worth $1300/oz. I think we'll see another 1-2 Bitcoin bubbles, each with peaks significantly higher than the rest as Bitcoin are taken out of circulation, until it finally falls to Gresham's Law.

I also think that conditions are extremely ripe for a currency crisis in the U.S. dollar within the next 5-10 years. There is a market now for a new currency, as evidenced by the ~3700 contenders (just in crypto alone, not counting in-game currencies for video games or mobile payment networks) launched within the last 2 years. I suspect the eventual winner will be an inflationary cryptocurrency that solves the scaling issues and has a pretty (and fast) UI. Could be Ethereum if they get their act together with Casper, or could be something yet-to-be-invented.
As an Indian, I take the opposite stance. For example, I strongly insist on calling my hometown Calcutta as it is part of the heritage of the city and my own upbringing. If you want to erase the colonial past, then work towards making the country better. These nonsensical gimmicks do not help anyone.
The Max's problem is not thrust line, it is additional lift generated by the forward-mounted engine nacelles at high AoA which reduces stick-load and makes pitch-up to a stall likely. Nothing to do with thrust.

Pitching up on thrust was a problem with the 737 Classic, why wouldn't it be a problem on the MAX?
Go for Go. Industries are adapting it like crazy! Plus good Go developers are scarce so as a freelancer, you will have increased opportunities.
Also, to a fellow freelancer, I would like to suggest you making plugins for chrome and Wordpress. No matter how crowded their store looks like, there is still plenty of room of requirements. Here's my website https://boosters.in created on wordpress! I personally had to create a wordpress plugin for such a small website and small usecase. So I'm sure the world is full of possibilities.

You have misused a slippery slope argument to turn the other position into a strawman. There are risks to this FB ban, but silencing outcry about the ban is not one of them.

In practice, the distinction between banning a subject and banning a conversation about a subject ban, is easy to make. For example, Germany bans racist speech, but does not ban speech about whether racist speech ban should continue (and this particular debate is definitely alive and well in Germany). Even in the US we've banned certain words from broadcast TV for many years, but this never limited people from discussing whether the ban should continue!
It's not a binary choice of being 100% perfect or not bothering - it's about small, meaningful steps in a better direction.
The F-16 requires specifically trained pilots to fly safely.

The Boeing in question was flown by pilots who were not trained for or even made aware of significant modifications to the plane's behavior.

A training wheel on a motorbike is not very hard to make well or drive with safely, but if you suddenly discover it during a sharp turn at speed, it's not going to go well.

For any company based out of India, working on solving problems for Indian consumers, I see very less value in applying to YC. First of all their advisors have very little or no idea about how does it work in Indian context [because haven't done startups in this area], which mind you is very different and more complicated then valley.
Yes, though stage creep is a real problem and some applicants show up not just with a prototype but revenue as well.

Imho, to make most out of YC demo day, you'd have to have something concrete ready, and so it helps to have started working before having interviewed with YC.

I believe the MCAS uses the pilot-side sensor.
I think unfortunately people are living in a fairy tale if they think like that.

Resources like fossil fuels and raw materials are critical for the real function of economies. Global wealth inequality between countries can be extreme and quite obviously reflects resource distribution inequality.

Its the same as all of history. Usually one or a few powers dominate the earth. The US has the most most wealth and resource control globally by far.
This is not because the US has Facebook or because "war is illegal" (LOL). Its because the US and proxies/allies have the most massive and dominant military ever seen and use that actively to maintain the advantages.

I can understand how people do not realize this since the media does a very good job of distributing propaganda about the numerous wars, suggesting that each military action is isolated and motivated by some mythical moral cause.
1- Can you link a 2018/2019 source for "F-35 cost < F-15 cost" in particular? Most of the "cost" estimates I've seen for F-35s leave out the engine (another ~$20M last I checked).

2. Given advancements in adversary radars and passive sensors (IRST, etc..), it's not even a given that the F-35 can operate in contested airspace.
MCAS wasn’t introduced to simplify pilots’ life. It was to make the plane way cheaper overall by avoiding the plane being a different one according to regulations. Regulations that were there to make planes safer to begin with by making sure differently enough planes warrant training, processes, reviews, etc.

Sadly, MCAS introduced unintended side-effects and is not as transparent as it was supposed to be, from what looks like.

Therefore, if you remove MCAS, the plane should be easier to predict; but who knows what that implies now that the plane has been sold and flying for a lot of time (financially, legally...).
Hmm... I played online poker as a kid, between 16 to 18 for negligleble amounts. When I came into the casino, I was nervous but my math mind took over. I did well enough to get in the money of sit 'n go tables.

I got awkward in the beginning, by unintentionally straddle betting and violating all kinds of other table rules that I didn't know. But that irons out quite quickly.

It's a fun experience to feel awkward and realize you're still going to go away with the price.
Seriously, you want to do this here? This is a hackernews thread not an equivalent on twitter or FB.
What I expect would happen is as follows:

1. you take job at place with code review.

2. Australian police say place a backdoor.

3. You say we have code review the backdoor will be caught.

Now at this point the following might happen.

4a. make sure your code is reviewed by X.
4b. ok I guess it won't work.
4c. here is the code to put in, it has a very hard to catch bug that we can exploit.

in no way would I expect them to say
4d. well we're going to take you to court because you took a job that makes entering backdoors difficult.

on 2nd edit: I removed the leading No but, because I can't remember why I started off with that.
Maybe I just got a bad buyer's broker (he was a reference from my mother, how could I refuse). My broker would refuse to CC me or BCC me on any communication with the seller's agent, or the co-op board, and when I asked him to forward this communication, he would remove timestamps and the underlying earlier threaded email messages.

It felt incredibly sketchy and unprofessional, but to this day I'm not sure if it was due to ineptitude, trying to provide cover for himself, or worse (maybe by deleting timestamps he could claim he responded faster than he did).

He also made a huge omission. He knew we wanted to renovate the apartment, but we did not get a copy of the alteration agreement until after we signed the contract. I didn't even know what an alteration agreement was, but it was something I felt a good buyer's broker should raise early if he/she knows you're planning a reno.

In the end, the deal did close, I think we got a fair price, but it came with many avoidable headaches and much unnecessary anxiety had our broker been more professional.
Very similar experience here. I would also add generally a complete lack of comprehension of making something concrete that satisfies production.
In my opinion, a better option (if you can afford it) is:

- Start your day at the same coffee shop, every morning. Get to know the people working there and the other regulars. Don't even try to get work done. Just hang out and talk to people for 30 minutes.

- Go to your own private office. Shut the door, have no distractions.

- Meet with friends or clients over lunch or afternoon coffee. Go to evening meet-ups if you feel like it.

This method maximizes both the ability to focus and social benefits, while co-working does a mediocre job of both.
It wouldn't get much time to spy at that speed, it has to slow down at its destination and it's fuel limits won't allow great distances without speed changes. Top speed is different from real speed

I honestly envy the sort of person who can post something like this. Not liking nodejs is fine, but to extrapolate from "I don't like nodejs" to "Thousands of engineers at companies like Google are wrong and I am right" must require such a level of myopic, ignorant self-belief that is completely alien to me. I just find myself respecting other people's work too much, even if I don't like it.
This.

The engines are further away from the plane's fulcrum, and this means that they can now cause the plane to tilt up more efficiently.
Yes, maybe just looking at RR intervals maybe. Otherwise AFib leads to irregular undulations, at about the amplitude of a p-wave, whereas PVCs are longer and weird looking QRS complexes.

AFib is a "supraventricular" Tachycardia, whereas PVCs are more of a ventricular Tachycardia. Though I'm not sure if AFib always leads to significant Tachycardia at all.
This whole idea of "racism" is a pile of garbage sold to gullible people by corporations and governments whose motivations for discouraging "racism" and "white nationalism" and so on are things like increasing profits and decreasing costs. They couldn't care about people from other countries for any other reason. Most of the people making the decisions at these companies and governments live in areas that are the whitest areas in the country.

All facebook is doing is using its power to try to silence people who get in the road of their own profit margins and political goals. This is really a war. The Christchurch killer specifically said he wanted this censorship to happen after he committed his killings and now they are happening. Sites like 4chan are now blocked in Australia and New Zealand. Silicon Valley is removing everything that they disagree with. 1984 has finally arrived. The problem is that the backlash will probably be extreme and violent, just as the Christchurch killer wanted.

Considering most countries around the world such as China and India are in actual practice ethnically nationalists, why aren't facebook banning them? You can look at the specific policies of China, Japan, etc, and see ethnic nationalism in actual practice. Are they banning all Chinese and Japanese government accounts from Facebook? Of course not.
I wonder, are there things they aren’t allowed to ask of you in the second case, as there are in the first?

For example noncompete clauses are not allowed in California. Would one be enforceable if signed voluntarily for money and not for employment?
Both: the position changed because the size changed.
From what I read purpose of MCAS is to make stick give same feedback as on 737 NG, i.e. certain linear force increase would correspond to deflection amount on the elevator. With MAX it was no longer true due to air frame geometry and engine changes, and at certain high angles same amount of force applied to stick would result in more deflection. All this had to be maintained in order to not have re-certify all the pilots from NG but be allowed to only give minimal training I think.
> I said "mobile", not "cleaner". Sizes and aspect ratios are different on phones than PCs.

User agent doesn't tell you size or aspect ratio.

Even if you know I'm running Chrome on Android on a Galaxy Note 8, you don't know the size (physical or pixel) or aspect ratio of the viewport, because: (1) I may or may not be viewing in side by side windows, (2) the screen can be in any of three resolutions, (3) the screen can be portrait or landscape, (4) the browser may or may not be set to use the full space on the long dimension of the screen.

OTOH, CSS Media Queries answer these questions.
Ah, just like JavaCard.
They'll probably just use one of the many greener alternatives.

Cisco is crumbling under its own weight.

This is a symptom of the rot in their management, and probably also a sign that they have hired too many incompetents.

It probably also is a sign of the current age. After the recovery from the IT-bubble programming got really hot. Thus: Too many of the new programmers wants to be programmers because it pays well - not because they love their craft. So therefore we have a bunch of well-paid but uninterested people seeking jobs at prestigious companies.

Culture matters. I want my socially maladapt terminal junkies back plz.
"Back in 2007, there were a grand total of 14 coworking spaces worldwide"

Really? I mean I don't have any hard evidence to the contrary, but that seems really hard to believe.
Coworking only works if you can find others that work in your space. If you're building database technology and most of the others at the co-working spot are bloggers and fashion-tech startups, you're not going to get much out of it.
Those test conditions are absurd. I would never want to be in a position where firmware I wrote had to cold boot, detect position, and correct the plant at 10,000 feet/5Gs!
