I would suggest a fine-toothed audit of every single change made in the MAX aircraft, with particular attention paid to whether said changes were made solely in the interest of skirting regulations to sell more planes faster.

Because that is the point: Boeing's decision-making process is now highly suspect. It is pretty clear that the MCAS would not exist in anything like its current (flawed) form if Boeing hadn't been trying to avoid the pilot retraining requirement.

This is not a typical life-cycle for an engineering defect/flaw.
Imperative vs. Declarative Programming (2016)
Gig workers are not the only losers.

Any small business which doesn't receive VC funding is also disadvantaged because they aren't able to give consumers the same kinds of deals that these consumers have gotten used to.

What some of those big VCs have been doing is criminal and has been hurting both workers and value-producers for over a decade.
I hope that they'll end up in jail after it all goes belly up because this is very serious.

It's not hard to see what's really happening; VCs are shoving investors' money into each others' pockets and then dumping the bi-product on the public market so that the public foots the bill... A lot of which ends up taking a chunk out of regular people's retirement funds.

The crime is made even worse by the fact that many of those who end up footing the bill don't even have a choice. If I have a compulsory retirement fund like 401k or Superannuation, then I often don't have much say about where my money is invested... Maybe it goes to an index fund; part of which goes to big corps like Google which then use the money to acquire worthless VC startups from people who are friends with executives.

- Something that is so infrequently used that it's not worth it to build up proper testing infrastructure to prevent regressions

"aggregates irrelevant complexities"

Who decides this? This is not a trivial question.

The F-35 fighter is a good example. Trades many disadvantages (not fast, not good in dog-fighting, tremendous long maintenance time, low payload etc.) for one advantage. The F-35 may or may not be invisible to an able opponent. But this decision is a tremendous difficult one. Based on your argument, it would be better to stick with a simple design. This was worked for the Soviet Union in WW2 (don't build the best tank, build a decent one, build many).

With hindsight, we know that retracting the flaps was a bad idea.

But check Boeing's MCAS bulletin, which is the only official information pilots received about MCAS at the time of the flight.

http://www.b737.org.uk/images/aoa-bulletin.jpg

It makes zero mention of flaps. It doesn't recommend avoiding retracting them or trying to land as soon as possible.

Trying to land as fast as possible is typicality a bad idea. Planes which have just taken off are almost always over their maximum landing weight. Even if you ignore that, the extra stress of trying to land as soon as possible could cause the pilots to make more errors.

Procedures for issues on take off are typically focused on continuing to climb to gain as much altitude as possible to give the pilots time and space to assess the problem before dumping fuel and landing. The more altitude you have the more time you have to recover.

And unfortunately, climbing through 5000 feet requires retracting the flaps.
This is awesome. How does this compare to the Pentaho reporting platform?

I see you have a browser-based version as well, how performant is it really? Our company currently uses Pentaho for reporting and it's a nightmare - goes down all the time, code is a black box, impossible to work with. This seems like it's really performant and suited for the task at hand, great work.

Do you know if anyone has had success deploying this as a service for multiple users? Could we run this on a cluster and allow individual users to have accounts on the platform?

It’s like zoning. Some people honestly believe that no one is both willing, able and perfectly happy to live in a small, cramped apartment or without a kitchen, or in a group house. Other people understand perfectly well that making all those lifestyle choices illegal through zoning increases the value of their property by making it impossible to be poor and live in that area. If you make living in an area while poor impossible only the middle class and wealthy will live there and you’ll have lower crime and the schools will have good results because they’re full of the children of people who’ve made it.

By the same token many people of the “I’m middle class and I think this choice should be illegal.” persuasion genuinely think they’re making lower class people’s lives better by setting a minimum floor of some sort. They don’t think poor people can really make informed choices. It’s the same mindset as whorephobic feminists from Sweden or Iceland “protecting” women.

Makes more sense to use the verb "negotiating" with Accept-* headers rather than "honoring".

This makes obvious sense once you consider that the client tells the server which compression formats it supports in every request yet not every data format is compressible, nor does the server necessary support any candidate compression format.

For example, the server wouldn't gzip a jpeg since it's already compressed.

All Accept-* headers are like this. e.g. the server doesn't necessarily support any of the languages requested in the Accept-Language header, but it doesn't hurt to ask. You always have to inspect the response headers to see the result of negotiation.
Desperation and misunderstanding is forcing Uber drivers to drive passengers. The money they're getting has three components: the first part pays off their marginal costs (gas, insurance), the second pays off their fixed costs (increased depreciation on their car), and the third is their wage. How much is left after the first 2 components are taken off? It varies widely and is hard to calculate, but suffice it to say "not much".

Driving for Uber is like selling your stuff for cash. It's better than starving, but it's not a good choice.
I was at a hospital recently and saw this. In the first waiting area there was a vertical queue for patients charts. I watched nurses pop off the top and then manually move every chart up to refill the top of the queue.

Then in another waiting room I saw the same thing, except it was basically a ring buffer. They used a little magnet to denote the top and I watched them keep filling below my chart and then back to the top above the other charts. No need to move every chart every time.

I highly doubt these nurses are thinking tech or programming. They're just being naturally clever.

The OSI model is stack with a top and a bottom, but each layer can be replaced, in theory.

The processor stack and a software stack really are distinct things, because the "software stack" has the notion of interfaces at the top and the bottom of each layer.

The fact that at the implementation level, the call stack sometimes mirrors the software stack is not really relevant. It's sort of accidental: each layer could be a process, connected with other layers by a pipe for instance.
Quite. Recognising that animals have many of the same experiences as us should inform but not necessarily dictate our moral position concerning them. I believe humans evolved form a common ancestor with apes, so for me it is completely unsurprising and to be expected that we share many of the same behaviours, sensations, experiences and feelings because I believe we inherited those from our pre-human ancestors. So when I see a human exhibit emotional responses and an ape displaying similar responses, that seems natural to me and I believe they have a common root in our evolutionary biology.

That doesn’t mean I have to assign apes moral equivalence to humans. Rights also imply responsibilities and apes are not capable of fulfilling the responsibilities of a human being. But then you hit the argument that some human beings aren’t capable of fulfilling those responsibilities either. Well, we are communal and social beings. We have a tendency to treat members of our community differently from outsiders, and generally better. For example we treat citizens differently from non-citizens. Family differently from non-family. I think it’s reasonable to treat humans differently from non-humans and grant them enhanced rights.

However I do still accept our common biology and experiential and emotional lives with some animals. I can accept that when an ape or a human sit watching a sunset, relaxing and not actively thinking about anything, that they have fundamentally the same kind of experience. I think that reasonably extends to a bias against causing unnecessary suffering for example. How we treat others and how we treat animals says something about our character.

Isn't the start point of an ethics board "don't seek to remove rights from an entire demographic of people"?

As such, the board would seem to be corrupted if it has people openly working towards that goal. Good that Google has agreed.
"Nope, it is. Instead of sticking to a solution that only solves the immediate problem (hunger, first order), he changed the solution based on the adverse side-effects of going with the first solution (hunger solved, but health worsened, second order)."

Yup. This just happens to be something that we get pounded into us (not without merit) a lot, so it's something that people understand fairly well.

Consequently, as a gateway into understanding higher-order thinking, it's really poor, because this "knowledge" has all but bypassed rational thinking at this point due to being repeated for us to the point that it's been internalized.

I'd say this is why the trivial examples are also uninteresting to people. If it's something obvious enough that everyone has figured it out, making it an accessible example, it also doesn't seem like higher order thinking.

They were going to lose customers to Airbus, who had a longer range plane. The solution was to retrofit larger engines on the 737. But they were too large and collided with the ground. They moved the engines to the front of the wing for ground clearance. This made the plane unstable and tend to tilt upwards, so they came up with MCAS to work around the instability.

The plane is not airworthy.

Charging is pretty fast if you run down the battery to say 10 - 20% and then charge only what you need at each supercharger along the way.

Overall it is a bit slower than an ICE car if the ICE car is not taking any breaks, but the other aspects of the car make this a very small price to pay.

Over time as the supercharger network gets faster and with free software updates the gap will narrow as well.

This is a poor example because it draws a comparison on what most would consider an invasion on a person's basic rights. I'm aware that public facing figures have to maintain an image but a hair transplant is more invasive than basic grooming.

A better comparison would be that the shareholders wanted it so that Beezos had to wear a well designed Amazon logo branded tie during business vs. whatever he wears. That example is far less invasive of personal rights and insignificant to the business operations. Most would agree it would be silly to waste time and effort worrying about Beezo's work tie design...

Or, keeping in line with the original example, that Beezos had to wear an Amazon hat/cap during business work.

Sure, if this dialog is happening the whole time that makes sense, but burnout also seems like something that would be dealt with using the backlog - make time for exploration, test spikes, learning, etc. If all this work is well defined already and the backlog is owned by the devs, that seems like a solved problem. If, however the devs are actually spending a boatload of time refining stories before planning then sure, take a week off while others talk about it, but that has a bit of a smell to it also in terms of a happy medium.

If the overall message is “slow down sometimes” then I agree 100%.

Honest question: How much profit did pharma execs make fully knowing their drugs were abused and sold illegally en masse? I'm interested in how people think they aren't culpable? Oxycodone is a household name in drug abuse, it kills thousands every year. All those people seem to live very good lives off it's sales.

Attempts to make less addictive pain killers is an uphill battle for profitablity in the existing environment.

>I don't know how we got here, it's a bit scary.

I think we got here because of telecommunications and the internet. The world is joining up and a nascent collective mind is emerging. Like the individual mind it has a set of ideas about who it is and what it should be doing, a.k.a. an 'ego'. Many potential thoughts in a normal mind are continually being censored/suppressed because they do not conform to those fixed ideas. Something similar is happening on a larger scale.

However just as there is hope for the individual in the form of spiritual awakening there's hope for the world too. The form it would take is unknowable for now. If it resembled a religious revival then I guess it would have to be a new and rather different kind of religion. Where might militant atheists and religious fundamentalists find common ground? Presumably within the new fields of consciousness and AGI research. Though I doubt they'll like it much, at least to begin with...

Your arguments are sound in theory. But not in practice (for LastPass, 1Password has a better design). For example LastPass was deriving their encryption key with only 5k rounds of PBKDF-2 iteration (but used ~100k rounds to create their authentication hash)[1].

In LastPass's case, assuming the attacker has obtained a copy of the encrypted data, a smart attacker can ignore the authentication hash and just try encryption keys directly.

5k rounds of PBDKF-2 on a sub-$1,000 GPU is quite tractable to crack.

Was it a trivial thing for LastPass to fix? Of course. But that's not the point - if an attacker got a copy of the data before you fixed it - it's too late.

>The only successful challenge along this line of argumentation I am aware of is Craigslist, and that required the founder to explicitly state their intentions to harm the company for rather esthetic considerations.

The original case that is usually cited about this "maximize shareholder value at all costs" concept was Dodge v. Ford Motor Co, in which the argument was that Ford was trying to turn the company, at least temporarily, into a non-profit, and avoid giving any profits to shareholders, arguably in order to make the positions of significant minority shareholders (eg, the Dodges) worthless and deprive them of capital to start a competing company. There's a significant difference between maximizing shareholder value at all costs, and intentionally trying to obliterate shareholder value in order to harm the shareholders.
Ah! My initial read on this was “devs take the week off and the project leads and stakeholders do the work.” The “with” did some work that I interpreted differently. That makes sense.
