I want a word for things that are simultaneously "no shit, Sherlock" and yet also profound things that we forget very easily. There's a lot of them. For engineering, I think "always consider costs/benefits" is probably #1. It sounds so stupid simple, and yet I feel like it's the exception when it gets deployed successfully.

It appears that Boeing's directive was simply wrong, and doomed them. The right response to faulty MCAS is not to do a stab trim cutout and then manually retrim, but to first use the manual electric trim switches to fix the trim and then immediately do a stab trim cutout. This is mentioned at the end of the directive, but reads more like an afterthought when it should be the standard procedure.

The behavior graphs seem to use a linear "happiness" metric to judge the quality of outcome. I question this choice. It is not intuitive to me that some unit of happiness should cancel out a unit of misery when it comes to determining election outcomes.

The IRV page extrapolates the majority principle for two choices to more than two choices, but its not obvious that this is correct. There are arguments that need to be made before we can start comparing the quality of outcomes between voting methods.

> And then you pay more for lower quality, because if you have to buy it in a specific location there is less competition and they know it.

Ok, I'm beginning to suspect you are arguing just for the sake of arguing, or have possibly never been to Manhattan or any other major city. Where do you think there is more competition among coffee shops:

1. Downtown in one of the most densely populated cities in the world.

2. A suburban strip mall.

Seriously, just think about this a little bit.

> This is all about marginal costs and competition. There is a place you love to go for lunch, but it's three miles from where you work and you don't have a long enough lunch break to walk there and back. There are six places right across the street that aren't as good.

You're still thinking like this is a suburban office park. Nobody. I mean, not one single person, who works in Manhattan below Central Park is currently traveling 3 miles anywhere, by any means for lunch. Nobody. There are not "6 mediocre places across the street" there are "hundreds of restaurants ranging from hot dog carts to Michelin-starred restaurants" within a 10 block radius. Seriously, visit a city once in your life.

> Because it's a regressive tax that generates perverse incentives. Today you make $50,000 working in the city. Introduce congestion pricing and you would have to pay $5,000 in congestion fees a year, so you take a $40,000/year job somewhere else because all the extra $10,000 would now be going to state and federal taxes and congestion charges.

What? Congestion pricing is going to force people to give up $10000 rather than spend $5000? It's somehow going to make people forget how to do math? That seems unlikely. The state and federal taxes already exist and have to be paid regardless of whether there's congestion pricing, so those are a non-issue. The only difference would be the congestion charge, which from what I've seen, will probably be more like $3k per year, and most of the people driving in to work in Manhattan are making significantly more than $50k. For those that aren't, there will be subsidies.

If you want to shoot yourself in the foot and take a massive pay-cut rather than pay a nominal surcharge as some form of protest, well, your prerogative I guess.

> Or you can build more housing without parking and there are fewer cars running around, and then you don't need congestion pricing.

The congestion isn't coming from the people who live there. They can already walk or take the subway. The congestion is people driving in from elsewhere.

I actually think it's incredibly insulting when people assume that engineers are choosing frameworks just for their resume. Most in fact are looking to these tools e.g. React, Spark, Kafka etc because so many other engineers are using them with success. And so they think they will equally have success.

But then they didn't have the context as to why those tools were chosen and so often they aren't suited. But I've never met anyone in the last 20+ years with thousands of engineers who was doing it for their resume. In fact the best thing for your resume is for the project to be a success anyway.
I think you're oversimplifying the situation. Alzheimers could be caused by human choice and 40 years of human life has more than monetary value.
> If everyone just focused on business value and ignored the technology aspects then nothing would've been invented.
> There would be no Internet, Web, VR, ML, AI etc and we would all be writing assembler or using punch cards.

The Internet, Web, ML, and AI at least were all originally invented using research funding, not business funding. The Internet (specifically the TCP/IP suite) was funded by DARPA, the research arm of the US Department of Defense. So you're right that some people need to focus on something other than business value, but usually that is someone paid to do research, not paid to implement a specific solution that needs to be widely deployed within 1-3 years.

But if you're picking a product to use for a particular task, you aren't doing that kind of research. You are instead doing engineering. That is, you are determining how to solve a particular problem using the knowledge and resources (including reusable code) at hand. So you need to think to determine what collection of resources will actually do the job well, at reasonable cost and time, etc. Different problem.

Your cited examples are: a 40 minute youtube video that starts with a narrator saying 'Why I think today is a win for the free speech side and a massive loss for the left', some anecdote about a youtuber spat at a tubin' conference, Manufacturing Consent, an NYT article you 'recall' but don't link and an xkcd comic.

I don't think any of these are what the question was about.
A sibling comment mentions raster scanning: building up an image one pixel at a time. That is largely true for a single telescope (though it is possible to have an array of receivers taking multiple pixels at the same time).

However, VLBI is an array of telescopes. Using interferometry - measuring the interference pattern of the signals of each pair of telescopes - we get simultaneous data on a variety of angular scales and orientations. As the Earth turns, the sky appears to turn, and more points in the UV plane can be measured. Once you have enough data, you can essentially get an image by doing a Fourier transform of the data.

Indeed. Regular users have no idea what to do with "friendly" error messages telling them about some unrecoverable failure either, while they just leaves the techies with nothing to go on.

When raising exceptions in code, I make sure the error message contains as much relevant detail as I can stuff in there. Users will just mail a screenshot to support regardless (if they want help before the full error report gets home), so might as well give as much info as possible to make troubleshooting easier.
What is the signal you’re trying to send by admitting to choosing one of the most unreliable car brands on the market?

People in glass cars shouldn't throw stones...

Have you seen the Tesla reliability reports? (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2018/10/24/tesla-...) They're even worse than Jeep's reliability reports, and Jeep's excuse is that they make cars for off-roading and other extreme activities that place heavier demands on the car's parts and frame. Tesla makes...road cars.
I don't understand, either you need the MCAS to fly the plane or you don't.

I haven't heard of the journalists who wrote the article. I have, however, heard of the New York Times. I trust the NYT to vet its reporters carefully, and to review relevant facts. If someone wants to go off on "liberal media fake news", well, fuck them. They're not interested in facts anyway, and there's no point in debating such idiots.

As for "specific knowledge of wrongdoing"... well. What's "wrongdoing" here? Barr presented a summary of the Mueller Report to the public. Apparently, people in the investigation itself are unhappy with that summary and consider it deceptive (yeah, no shit, saying the Trump administration misleading people is like saying water is wet).

Yes, this is multi-layered, anonymous leakage, BUT. BUT. Is it untrue? Are investigators actually fine with the Barr summary, and the sources are lying to the journalists? Probably not. So despite the abstraction layers, the gist of the story is most likely true. And the NYT certainly doesn't have to run a story that says "Mueller is totally fine with the Barr summary" next week, so they're not going to print it unless they believe it true. So smell tests are fine here.

And the basic question is important. It's not whether Barr lied, but rather whether he intentionally misled - or more to the point, if Mueller's team believes he misled. That is relevant to the public, and to me.
This is an annoying sentiment for a recent national news story.
If Berlin can figure out how to have long term affordable rents, for residents and newcomers alike, similar to Singapore, Vienna or how Sweden used to be, it will be the most successful city in Europe.
>Unless the NYT doesn't actually have these sources, there's nothing wrong with it

It doesn't even have to come down to bad intentions or journalists intentionally lying about their anonymous sources, it's the fact that I have no way of reasonably knowing whether the NYT got tricked or lied to. Maybe their so-called "anonymous source" is just taking credulous journalists for a ride. I'm expected to just put blind faith in their opaque verification process and accept that anonymous sources are equally as valid as someone going on record?

Interestingly enough, the credibility (or lack thereof) of anonymous sources is an easily tractable problem that could be easily solvable with ring-signature cryptography [0] if there was the will to do so. And the trustless nature of that solution does not require journalists to be deemed the anointed arbiters of The Truth(tm). Alas, the social and cultural factors are just not there such that every government official, business leader, etc has a public crypto key.

> Having been able to freely invoke IOCTL handlers of the driver from user-mode, we looked for other capabilities that can be abused. We found one: the driver provided a capability to map any physical page into user-mode with RW permissions. Invoking this handler allowed a code running with low privileges to read-write beyond the process boundaries—to other processes or even to kernel space. This, of course, means a full machine compromise.

Please, continue.
Yeah, "not my problem" sounds like a winning strategy, until you realize that it also means "nothing I can do about it" when things inevitably go wrong.

Interesting, given that I was down in Copper Canyons just a few weeks ago to run the Caballo Blanco race. I don't see Micah True as establishing anything. Yes, it's likely he died of cardiac arrest. Yes, he displayed the enlarged left ventricle characteristic of people who run a lot. But as far as I'm aware, his family history is unknown. It could be that he died of a genetic (inherited) disorder and that he actually lived longer, delayed his heart attack, _because_ he was a runner. (This is the likely situation with Jim Fixx, a famous guy back in the 80's who promoted the health benefits of running, but then died of a heart attack: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Fixx#Death ) One current conjecture in medical science is that enlarged left ventricle and scarring increases likelihood of cardiac event; at this point I'm pretty sure it remains mere conjecture.

Regarding marathons: what would you expect to be leading cause of death in marathons? Surely not cancer. Running a marathon stresses your heart. If you have genetic cardiac issues (which many do) it's more likely that they will appear in a marathon than when you're walking down the street. It's a huge leap to suggest that training for a marathon increases overall risk of heart failure. It could just as easily be that the marathoner has actually extended his/her life by running, that they would have died earlier if they hadn't kept their diseased heart as healthy as it could be by doing lots of running. As far as I'm aware, there's no science out there that establishes that marathoning causes people to die earlier than they otherwise would, and lots of evidence to the contrary.

> Meaning once the aircraft pitches up the pilot doesn't have enough authority to push the nose back down.

Or, alternatively, the pitch up happens so quickly and severely the risk of stall is too great above a certain AoA and the pilot won't have adequate time to respond.

If either is the case, it implies the aircraft is not safe to fly without MCAS operational, and possibly not at all.

Besides, is it even possible to invent a way to trade risk in such a way that if one party hold unbounded exposure before the trade then after the trade both parties have bounded exposure? does it even make sense to have unbounded risks in system that is inescapably formal and will hold a bounded amount of money at each time? One could argue that risks that look unbounded are usually (as in without a ledger) handled less formally (ie: state bailout, https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2016/03/10/after-fiv...)
