> That's my criticism of the F-35 as well. I don't know anything about fighter planes, but as a taxpayer it just seems way to expensive.

Not just expensive, that money is going to the US. We (the Netherlands) will also buy a bunch of F35's, but we can't afford enough of them to be useful. We could have bought Eurofighters, the money would have remained in Europe's economy and we would have an actually finished plane.
I wouldn’t be so quick to declare that Danish fighters couldn’t intercept Russian planes. While I’m not well versed in the relative merits of the F-35 vs. their MiG equivalents, massively one sided engagements are quite common in air battles. If you told me that some F-35s decisively won a battle and some Gripens were completely destroyed I would not be surprised one bit.

Supposedly the history is that the single sensor input was decided when the MCAS could only exert a fairly small amount of change to the stabilizer. Later, the amount of control given to MCAS was drastically increased, apparently without considering the ramifications of a single sensor feed.
I believe the point is that W3W have no relationship between each other - which is probably inherent, as I assume it's a hash of some kind. You can't do anything meaningful with two W3W addresses, even though they may be literally adjacent to each other.

A common feature of most addressing systems is being able to infer relative distance - this is usually true of even street address. (Yes, I am aware this is not always true, and yes, I am aware there are hilarious counter-examples. I don't think that changes the point.)

Opting out is a hassle.
I inherited a property management system where previous developers used what3words for storing location of homes (since reverse geocoding based on address is not reliable in some countries we support).

However, after an internal review we realised that a lot of our UK properties have locations in Asia or the US... It turned out that typos in what3words often result in a valid location on the other side of the world. The most common mistakes we found were plural words instead of singular ones (e.g. "cats" not "cat") or the other way around.

Of course we could have improved the user interface or added some extra validations, but at this point we realised that what3words is more trouble than it's worth, and decided to migrate to storing lat/long directly. That allowed us to avoid a third-party dependency and simplify the code, since we had to cache lat/long anyway in order to plot properties on a map or calculate distances between them.

To be fair, W3W and similar projects have a lot more friendly and memorable addresses than this.

You'd better believe there are older devices out there, and people would use the app store with them, iff the app store would only show you apps (or versions of apps) that still run on your device.

I worked in defense for 10 years then left. I'm assuming its similar to the defense industry I guess (Radar and we were a Boeing sub contractor).

There a few things I don't miss:
1) It can be a little stressful, knowing that your software is controlling things that if wrong could go bad (people's lives are at stake). The strong process we had makes you abstract that away, but still its serious work.

2) Yesterdays technology tomorrow. We were using stable releases from years ago on hardware I couldn't buy in a a language hardly anyone uses (we were an Ada/C shop). I do like Ada, but it made it harder for employees let go to find new work.

it was somewhat satisfying when the end result got built and it was operational.

This reminds me of the Terry Gilliam 1985 film “Brazil”. It portrays a future dystopic Britain where bureaucracy and the State has run wild, creating various Kafraesque situations, such as repairing your own airconditioning being classed as “terrorism” and a typo on an official document landing the character in jail, with no way out.

A few decades ago this was classed as fanciful entertainment. Now it’s become real life. Scary stuff.
The problems with cycling is that the riders have both far more "flexibility" in what they can do and get away with, and that many have zero "legal" qualification to practice the activity. I say this as both a regular (daily) cyclist and driver, and I find the 2 points dangerous to myself in both these functions.

So the first point means many cyclists will just choose what kind of participant to traffic they are at each moment: they will behave like a car or pedestrian as they please, following car rules, pedestrian rules, or personal rules depending on which fits them best. And not having a driver's license to suspend means the rules are usually written on the spot. Traffic lights, stop signs, are just informative. So many cyclists insist that requiring them to wear a helmet is "victim blaming". [0] Not many would say the same about not wearing a seatbelt.

For the second point, the lack of any formal education equivalent to a driving school where you are told about the laws and best practices translates into people being blissfully unaware when endangering themselves and others. Most pedestrians and drivers will know the rules even if they don't follow them. They are taught in school and sometimes from a young age. Cyclists fall in the middle, neither this nor that.

I don't think anyone is seriously complaining about the performance, but the user experience seems to vary a lot. Some people love the feel of new keyboards, others hate them; some have no mechanical problems with them, for others they're unusable broken[0]; some like the touch bar, others feel lobotomised without a physical Escape key.

I think the feel thing is arguable and the touchbar is a matter of taste. Apple has to look at the market as a whole to see what works for the whole customer base, and the fact is a lot of people who don't post on HN hate function keys because they can never remember which does what.

The mechanical issues are really not acceptable though. It just affects too many machines too consistently. Even if yours is fine now, it could have an issue at any moment. They need to bite a Mac Pro sized bullet and fix this properly.

I think it’s caused by a few things:

- Enterprise software CEOs are more likely to come from Sales than their consumer counterparts.

- Enterprise software has more lock-in. Ones the market is saturated, their best financial move frequently is to milk the existing base rather than improve things. (This is why one should avoid long term contracts like the plague)
The only thing I envy about Mac users is: they have really good apps for creative production. (If only I can run Logic Pro X on my PC...)
> The OWASP definition is correct.

Okay. Your definition, with its additional encryption requirement, is at odds with the OWASP definition.

> Without encryption how do you trust that the destination is who they claim to be?

Signing? Or just ignorance? I agree that "trust" is a component, but it doesn't have to make sense. I can still fool you and the server to which you're connecting into thinking I'm the other party.
They should change the law so the police can only forcibly take custody for a life-threatening emergency, not a flu, and require two doctors' opinions.
> card network

> merchant gateway

> merchant acquirer/payment processor

> acquiring bank

so, since no merchants integrate directly with Mastercard/Visa (it would seem that's just not the business model of the industry. I'd also gamble it isn't possible because if you're a mom and pop shop, Mastercard does not care for you to integrate directly with them), they are going through networks/gateways, which would be TSYS/FiServ/First Data, yes?

I'm just trying to picture a world where payment processor fees are lower because instead of PoS systems for businesses connecting to gateways/middlemen who need to take a cut and hike the rate up, they connect directly to the card network/the underlying bank.

But, it sounds like a service like that would be exactly the middlemen I'm describing, who need to take a cut of the fees :P

Lockheed Martin have all the manufacturing equipment in storage and have been trying to sell the Pentagon and others on the idea of restarting the production line to build more F22s with upgraded avionics/electronics taken from the F35. To offset the cost of restarting production they propose allowing Japan to buy them too since Japan has been keen on buying them for a long time.

> (Barring "require", but I'm betting you're just exaggerating there.)

I don’t think so. All you need is a simple quota that is too high to be achieved naturally. A common example is credit card signups. The company requires some percentage of a worker’s customers to be signed up for the company card. That percentage is too high to be achieved by honest means. Result: workers lie about the card, get people to fill out the form by saying it’s just a bonus card, or just sign people up without their knowledge.

I’d bet the same sort of thing happened here. They had a quota where a certain percentage of customers who came in for a free diagnostic had to be sold services. The actual percentage of customers who needed work done was lower than that. Result: workers fake the need for service, and executives keep their hands squeaky clean.
That's fine for some things. E.g. showing an ad for specific hair care products to black people.

Not OK for housing/rental ads, credit/mortgage, etc. Facebook should have known better from the start and never enabled that kind of targeting for those types of ads.
Facebook ads in the residential real estate space absolutely allow violation of the 1968 Fair Housing Act on the part of real estate agents, sellers, marketers and brokers. The mechanism of FB ad targeting inherently grants permission to exclude groups from ad targeting by way of discriminating on the basis of demographic detail. The FHA was passed to redress the widespread and normalized practices of racial and socioeconomic exclusion from home ownership, and as such FB's practice is a major step backwards in fairness and transparency for persons participating in housing markets.

Does anybody know if FB's practice has been attacked in court sooner than this?

Idea: phones could have a feature to send your location as a series of DTMF tones. If standardized, that would be great for any service that needs your location.
I had a 2016 laptop and the only keyboard issue I had was caused by a repair. I took it back to the Apple Store and they replaced it with a similarly upgraded mid 2017 MacBook Pro, no questions asked.

I, too, like this keyboard over the old one. There seems to be less key-wobble and it feels way less mushy. That's my biggest criticism with the old MacBook Pros. The keyboard was too mushy.
> I haven't found conclusive evidence, but the lack of news around other TACCs crashing into stationary objects is an indicator it might be a Autopilot specific issue.

IMO, I think this may actually not be true. Due to Tesla's popularity, and the amount of investors that have stated that they were shorting TSLA, I do think that media have a tendency to report more news about such accidents just because a Tesla was involved. If a Tesla crashes somewhere, the first question probably is "Was Autopilot enabled?", while with most other car crashes, it's just a car crash.

So I don't think that lack of news about other cars with TACC means that they don't suffer from similar issues. (TBH I wouldn't be able to name any other cars with such an advanced TACC either).
You're badly misinformed on the SR-71.

That's why you take photos and do the spying part back on base. The SR-71's weapon was its sophisticated camera setup.

> it's fuel limits won't allow great distances without speed changes

When it set its speed record, it crossed from LA to DC on one tank of fuel. (It tanked up immediately after takeoff and immediately before landing, but the cross-country flying part didn't involve a tanker.)

What I don't understand is why so many software updaters are so slow.

For instance, I would think Creative cloud could download the latest versions (i dunno, 10 k of JSON?) and then check the versions of what is installed (look at a few bytes in one file, registry key, or something like that.)

What I find weird is that I used a 2017 model for a year and didn't have a single issue issue with the keyboard — and I love the feel of it.

But I bought one of the new 2018 models, and I have recently developed a sporadically repeating key or two, which is driving me up the wall. It's a real shame, because everything else about the machine is amazing. And now I'm soon going to have to take it back and get it fixed – because it doesn't seem reasonable that a £3000 machine should have any issues of this sort.

Disclosure: I work at Kong.

The simplest way to think of Kong is as a piece of software that controls traffic going in and out of an API. At its simplest form, it helps make sure that traffic gets to the right API, is secure, etc.

Where Kong really differentiates itself is its ability to support decentralized software architecture patterns like microservices, service mesh, etc as well as traditional monoliths, regardless of the underlying platform or hardware. Microservices make deploying software a lot faster, and we're the connective tissue that lets those microservices work together smoothly and with older legacy systems.

Kong is indesed open source. We also have an enterprise version that adds a lot of features that make managing kong in an enterprise much easier.
>> Though I do agree that gender norms are largely cultural — but it doesn’t change the fact that a Spanish man sounds “gay” to most Americans.
