No, most of the email you’ll send and receive will be seen unencrypted by ProtonMail’s servers because that’s just how the email protocol works, which means an intelligence agency like the NSA can still see most if not all of your communication.

In other words ProtonMail is not actually end-to-end encrypted which makes it snake oil.

It’s interesting that this point has to be explained on HN time and time again, as HN’s audience should understand end to end encryption.

1) Like most people, I’m far from qualified to give aeronautical engineering advice, but as fly-by-wire technology gets more advanced, won’t this be the norm? ie: Airframes that are difficult to fly might always be more efficient, so have a computer do the hard part.

2) This part seems like the real damning misdesign:

Boeing offered the single angle-of-attack sensor as standard equipment, and charged extra for a second along with a “disagree” indicator that would allow 737 MAX pilots to “cross-check” a faulty sensor. Citing those decisions, another observer noted: “Who would design a system with a single point of failure?”

> the F-35, despite it's many setbacks and runaway budget might actually do the CAS mission quite well

If you're defining CAS as dropping overkill PGMs from 30,000ft in clear skies.

But that form of CAS is unique to the 'last war'. How will the F-35 fare in Central Europe where 90% of days are overcast and media coverage means you can't just throw a 500lber into a block of flats to suppress a sniper.

> So I told you what this soldier wants, and what the Airforce is doing.

The soldier wants the target suppressed ASAP, in any weather and with minimal risk to friendly force. The Air Force is following its usual tactic of appearing to do just enough to fulfil the soldier's needs so that it can keep the Army away from armed fixed-wing.

i believe an independent contractor is considered a service provider, and so they could be compelled to provide the gov't assistance.

I also believe that these service provider(s) are required to not disclose the fact they've provided assistance. Therefore, apple would do well to not hire any australian company for their contracting purposes (but instead, employ them as an employee).

Why can't we just have government certificate authorities for the average Joe?

Ultimately, while people may have very little trust for the government in general, the one thing that people do trust the government for is establishing identity. We use government ID papers to establish our right to work, to open bank accounts, to enter legal agreements, and to cross borders. Why should communications be any different? We don't need to trust the government with the content of the communications (and we shouldn't), by not providing the government with the private keys. But why can't I get the government to sign a public key for me?

The issue it raises is whether people will eventually get locked out of society if the government decides to get antagonistic with somebody by revoking their public key and refusing to issue a new one, given a society where such a scheme is popular. But we don't have any sort of such protection today - the government can seize your passport, seize your driving license, freeze your bank accounts. A society in which the government solves identity issues for the digital age is only a net improvement over the status quo.

Not a useful question to ask or answer, as the answer is either anything or nothing depending on how nitpicky you want to get or where you feel like drawing an arbitrary line.

For example do you consider C++ on Windows to be a proprietary platform, even though C++'s STL isn't proprietary? If so, then WASI on Windows must also be proprietary, no? And if you don't consider C++ to be proprietary, then, you know, you can pick just about anything. They almost all have a standard library that abstracts OS differences and are generally portable.

All that aside, .NET Core is MIT license and already exists. So you can literally be non-proprietary, multi-platform, single-binary today with a mature ecosystem, language & library support, and tooling.

Also in the context of shipping apps let's not forget that this isn't really viable on the 2 biggest consumer app platforms, iOS (no JIT) & Android (majority APIs require Java interop), and for games it's also not viable on the other dominant platforms in those markets - Xbox One & PS4.

> Also, the UK wasn't a democracy in any meaningful sense in 1776

And the U.S. was? Much like the UK, the franchise was reserved to a subset of land freeholders. Only about 10-20% of the US population was eligible to vote. (http://www.crf-usa.org/bill-of-rights-in-action/bria-8-1-b-w...)

The UK did and still does have a written constitution, it's just not entirely written, and what's written is spread across multiple documents--the Magna Carta being one of the obvious ones. The US is not that different. Much of the US Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights, was copied verbatim from the written parts of the English constitution. And even conservative American jurists who reject Substantive Due Process regularly recognize unwritten constitutional rules and norms, especially those deriving from English constitutional norms.

Aside from federalism (where states maintained some sovereignty), the most fundamental constitutional differences between the US and the UK relate to judicial review and parliamentary supremacy. But it didn't become clear until 1803 in Marbury v. Madison that the US would follow a different path. If Congress was the final arbiter of legislative constitutionality (as many believed in 1789, and some conservatives argue to this day), there would be little if any functional difference between the US and UK constitutional systems. Indeed, now that US Senators are directly elected, but for Marbury v Madison even federalism would be little different than UK's so-called devolution. Japan nominally has judicial review, but their supreme court has zero inclination to strike down legislation so in practice the Japanese legislature has similar constitutional powers as the UK parliament.
What an odd thing to say in a thread about discrimination.

While I agree with you in general, you would have a better case with a different city than New Delhi, because most Indians simply never use the full English name in informal parlance — it's always been 'Dilli' (in Hindi) and/or 'Deli' (in inf. Indian English). In fact, the term (and equivalents of) 'Old Delhi' see more common use than 'New Delhi', largely because the latter is the one most commonly referred to as just 'Delhi'.

The Manager and QA Engineers here depend on the expertise of the engineers. If the engineers fail to communicate key details of the situation, then that's on them. Sure, the boss is still at fault for depending on a shitty engineer for decision making, but that's all.

Sure, and it probably has it's place, but what war are we supposed to be preparing for? I've come around to some of the other comments in this thread that point out that we spent a lot of time preparing for the last war, which got us caught with our pants down in OIF/OEF. It's probably wise to analyze the F-35, warts and all, in that context. A lot of the criticisms I see seem to bake in this assumption that it would do very poorly in a COIN type war. I don't exactly agree, since by the time I left AFG (2013) it was mostly drone, F-16, and B1 support we had. I never saw a single A-10. Lots of little birds, but that's it. So if all we need the F-35 to do is drop some GBUs it seems it'll probably be able to do that at least as good as everything else.

If we're actually trying to prepare for a near-peer adversary, I'm much more concerned with the vast suite of electronics on this platform than I am with it's ability to dog fight. What use is dog fighting in a early/mid 21st century war? If you're trying to dog fight I think you've already lost. As the US has dominated the sky (and the sea) for the last half century our near-peers have optimized on that they are good at, and what we are not. The Russians with more and more advanced missile technology, and the Chinese their cyber weapons - neither of which the F-35 has anything to do with countering, at least explicitly, and with the latter seems uniquely vulnerable to.

But yes, I agree, "take this huge cannon and weld a cockpit, two engines, and some wings to it" made for a pretty cool aircraft.

THe law provides a specific provision to say that there are limitations to what the assistance can be:

> 317ZG Designated communications provider must not be required

> to implement or build a systemic weakness or systemic

> vulnerability etc.

But the issue here is whether it's possible to perform the required "assistance" but not introduce systemic weakness or systemic vulnerability. I think it's a logical contradiction, so the law is pretty damn stupid...

I've noticed this tendency among a lot of right wingers. Lately I've seen it a lot in metalhead circles, particularly black metal, which does have a bit of a nazi problem in some parts.

They'll crow and gloat about how the scene isn't a safe space, that it's founded in hate and intolerance. But as soon as well-known nazi/NSBM-related bands or members of the scene are deplatformed and antagonized for their views, the tone goes straight to "get these leftists out, this is a right wing scene! This is censorship!" and so on.

Apparently only right wing radicals should be allowed to have safe spaces... /s

I've read a variety of articles on this and they often said somewhat different things. What I've been able to gather about the timeline of events is:

1. The new engines on the MAX shifted the center of gravity forward (and I assume center of lift stayed the same).

2. Boeing was worried that #1 would cause the plane to nose up during high angles of attack (so, take off and landing?), and added software, MCAS, to pitch up to counteract this.

3. There's some confusion over when this software kicks in and how to cancel it (something about the trim controls not cancelling MCAS?)

4. Regardless of #3, this software seems to have confused pilots and the current belief is that MCAS was active when pilots didn't want it active.

5. ????

6. Planes crash.

Also, I've read about some concerns about the fact that the handling behavior changed so much but the plane wasn't reclassified as a different type. I'm still unclear about how classifications plays into this story.

My core point of confusion is, if MCAS is the culprit why isn't the solution to remove MCAS? Is tendency to pitch during high angles of attack unusual, and something pilots cannot be expected to counteract manually? I've only played sims like DCS and X-Plane (and not very much at that) but "nose goes up when I don't want it to, so I push stick forward" doesn't seem too complicated to me. Of course, I'm no pilot so I'm probably drastically oversimplifying the situation.

In practice what tends to happen is that debtors are incentivized to start using alternative currencies because their debt load becomes unbearable otherwise, and then the inflationary currencies drive the deflationary ones out of circulation through Gresham's Law [1]. Hoarders end up holding useless tokens that are eventually demonetized entirely.

The gold-backed dollars of 1873 suffered this attack in two waves. The first was the Free Silver movement of 1892 [2], which sought to allow free coinage of silver currency as a way to create inflation and lower debt burdens for poor farmers who were being exploited by the Northeast's industrial-financial establishment (sound familiar?). This ultimately failed, although it did manage to inspire The Wizard of Oz [3].

The second was the steady inflation of Federal Reserve Notes (i.e. the dollar) from 1914 onwards. This culminated in EO 6102 [4], which made it a crime to privately own significant quantities of gold. Someone who faithfully hoarded gold coins from 1873 onwards would've done great until 1900, okay until WW1 ended, found themselves in the odd position of having money that was worth more on the black market than as legal tender (much like American Eagle gold coins have a face value of $50 today but a market value of about $1200), and then been forced to turn in their gold coins for their face value (effectively confiscating their assets at a loss) in 1933.

Do you mean tech companies in Australia refusing to hire Australian citizens? Or foreign companies? Because the first is very illegal.

If your home country allows dual citizenship, it doesn't seem like a problem for getting a job outside Australia. If it's not a government job where they'll do security checks, just don't disclose your dual citizenship. I hold dual citizenship, and not that my company has asked or would ask me if I am, I could easily say that I'm not and there isn't a lot they can do. Even governments struggle to determine if someone is a citizen of a foreign country, as we discovered with the dual citizenship debacle in parliament.

If your home country doesn't allow dual citizenship, depending on the risk you're willing to take, you can still become a dual citizen and not notify your home country.

Either way, the benefits of being legally entitled to live in Australia for eternity, as well as the right to participate in the democratic process, outweigh any potential downsides to becoming an Australian citizen, although I've still for a few more years to wait for that.
Wasn't the idea that they wanted to avoid pilot re-training? So if pilots would be expected to counteract manually, they would have to train to understand when to do that.

+1 on that. I have a PhD, and whenever I join a new workplace I feel like building credibility is an uphill battle where I fight against the ghost of some guy who worked there before who had a PhD and who fit the stereotype of the dysfunctional academic.

I wish that, just because I can do one type of thing well, people wouldn't jump to the conclusion that I can't also do another type of thing well. As in: Just because I understand math, please don't jump to the conclusion that I don't understand databases and can't write clean code. Just because I can see the "right way" to solve a problem, doesn't mean I can't also appreciate arguments in favor of the cost-efficient way of solving 20% of a problem if it gives you 80% of the benefit. etc. etc.

Really? My conclusion from this saga has basically been that the 737 Max is fine when flown by first-rate carriers (American, Southwest) and conversely that no plane is safe to fly with 3rd or 4th rate carriers in the third world (Lion Air).

Everything comes down to the Swiss Cheese - you're focusing on Boeing's hole, while I care more about the stack of holes that Lion Air maintained.

Bengaluru is now the official name in the English language. Bangalore is the British Empire's English name.

It is a relic of colonization that is worth leaving behind. This battle is completely worth fighting. If Ireland officially lists Dublin as Baile Atha Cliath for addresses, the airport, and for international English references, I will use that. This is not about two different languages, but of erasure.
Even the F-16 was controlled by software. I'm not sure if the F-16 was aerodynamically unstable, but some newer jet-fighters are, specifically for more maneuverability, and they rely on software to keep it flyable.

However, those tend to be designed with redundant systems in order to avoid a single point of failure. Having a single poorly tested system rely on a single sensor to fix a fatal flaw in the airframe is the real issue, I think.

But maybe a passenger plane shouldn't be designed to be unstable in the first place; it's not meant to be a jet-fighter.
On further investigation, it seems #3 is more: MCAS had much more control authority (i.e. was allowed to change control inputs from the pilots by more) than the FAA had approved.

#5 is: a fault in a single, non-redundant sensor could cause the MCAS system to falsely believe the plane was stalling, and push the nose down as hard as it could. Which (see above) was harder than a pilot could override by just pulling in the other direction, as is apparently intuitive for them.
Because:

1. earlier 737 models didn't pitch up and Boeing wanted the plane to "feel" the same and not have to re-train the pilots

2. there is some certification requirement that the pitch has to be constant during climb (or something like this); if the plane doesn't have this, it is not certified to fly. It wouldn't pass FAA certification without MCAS.
Did they filter out rideshare drivers?
The big question is ... who will trust the Boeing - FAA duo after this? The 777X is coming, there surely will be rather pointed questions from airlines, the EASA and more.
I vaguely recall this being a reference to something.

Would you mind elaborating.
Sometimes it feels like you can have someone who takes their job extremely seriously to a fault or someone who couldn't care less and lets everything bad happen, no way to have someone right in the Goldilocks zone.
