Extract from the Ethiopian Airlines press release:

"The preliminary report clearly showed that the Ethiopian Airlines Pilots who were commanding FlightET 302/10 March have followed the Boeing recommended and FAA approved emergency procedures to handle the most difficult emergency situation created on the airplane. Despite their hard work and full compliance with the emergency procedures, it was very unfortunate that they could not recover the airplane from the persistence of nose diving. As the investigation continues with more detailed analysis, as usual we will continue with our full cooperation with the investigation team."

It's tempting to pile on Gmail and its monopoly and use this as an example of them "taking over" email but at the same time this type of ossification for long-used protocols is fairly common in my experience. In practice everybody ends up relying on a safe subset of the spec that everybody is expected to understand correctly.

Try implementing a fuzzer for HTTP, SMTP, NTP, USB-C, CD-ROM or, say, TLS that tests every obscure corner case of the spec and see how many implementations fail to conform.

Given that I wasn't aware of this issue before reading this email shows that it's probably not much of an issue in practice. I can imagine that whoever implemented this at Google took a shortcut originally, adding a "// XXX maybe we should allow arbitrary order for headers?" comment and it never turned out to be an issue in practice (better yet, it might help them discard bogus emails early in the pipeline).

Still, I can empathize with Linus's frustration, it's always annoying when you write technically correct code and it doesn't work because a third party didn't do it right.

>The tech company have so much power and reach that politicians can only dream to ever attain.

Not in Australia they don't. In a nation of 16 million voters the number of people working for a company that would lose its ability to operate due to this law likely number in the hundreds to perhaps a couple of thousand. Demands from that size/proportion of subsociety can be safely ignored by any government.

Additionally, most Australian tech companies deal in either B2B or other types of general management software. They won't be affected by this in the least.

>They just need get bigger balls

Facebook already has Australia by the balls. They don't need to do anything:

- If Australia blocks them, they instantly win because Australian society won't abide being denied access (especially the older segments who now suddenly have time to protest now that the website where they were spending most of their time is gone by government decree).

- If Australia has this law on the books, they win because it's harder for a homegrown Australian product to gain marketplace traction under these rules (while Facebook, not being subject to Australian law, doesn't need to obey them, and they're unblockable because of the earlier point- especially because HTTPS ensures that access to Facebook is an all-or-nothing affair).

And Australia can't develop a homegrown alternative either, because they simply lack have the skilled personnel to do it; the best ones already left for America, facilitated by a free-trade agreement between the two countries. The US Government has its policy levers to tweak if Australia wanted to renegotiate that deal to stem the bleeding from the brain drain their own policies and societal structure encourage (and they'd have to give up something else anyway).
Here's what I think is the problem with that approach: these people will use "you hearing them out" as proof (to their base) that they are right. These people will ignore your dismissals. These people will use every possible trick, even the ones not in the book, to misconstrue your actions to establish themselves to their own base.

They should not be given a platform. At all. And even that will be misconstrued as "see, we're being marginalized because we're inconvenient but true".

I just read it, and I thought it was great. I had a similar, if perhaps not-as-well-thought-out, reaction to Manish's (I agree, excellent) post. I think SaferCPlusPlus basically implements the permission mechanisms you listed in the summary (as well as the preceding "Race-Safe Strategies" post). (Although with some of the restrictions enforced at run-time rather than compile-time.) Looking forward to Cone 1.0. :)

If you follow the links, you see that the reduced demand forcecasts are worldwide and most of the layoffs involved are in low-cost countries. Most the companies mentioned are global leaders in their small field (like one of the companies mentioned, which produces not cars, not engines, not cylinders, but parts for cylinders, and 80% of its workforce are in low-wage countries, and its customers are all over the world).

A region in Germany is likely to be badly affected and that gets most of the wording. Don't let that fool you. When the investor guidance says "challenging outlook", it doesn't mean "we'll lay off a few people at HQ but the factories will be fine".

This is not how RFCs work. There's a reason RFCs came about, and it was to prevent this exact type of situation. Just because a company has a large market share, doesn't mean RFCs should be changed to suit it.

Earth radiates heat away at a constant rate only because Earth's temperature is approximately constant. Actual black-body radiation is governed by the Stefan-Boltzmann law [1], and is proportional to temperature^4. A small increase in temperature significantly increases the amount of energy radiated, which then serves to moderate the temperature.

In practice, the total energy consumption of the Earth is bounded by the amount of solar energy that falls on the earth, which is about 100,000 times greater than current total world energy consumption. For what civilizations might look like that exceed that, check out the Kardashev scale [2], which classifies civilizations by the size of the astronomical object whose energy they harness. Type 1 civilizations harness a planet, Type 2 harness a star, Type 3 harness a galaxy. We're a lowly Type 0 civilization, which means that we have not yet attained the technology needed to make full use out of all of our planet's resources.

That's an entirely different kind of attack. If your server is being flooded with 20TB/s of traffic, there's nothing you can do on the box itself to fix things. Whatever you do, the legitimate requests won't be able to get through.

If however your DOS attack is an attacker making lower-volume CPU-expensive requests on your site, there's plenty of things to help mitigate the assault.
Doing my part. I've been an Inbox user ever since it was released, and liked it due to how much simpler it was to keep the inbox clean, and a much improved layout and usability over regular Gmail (centered, cleaner layout, grouping by day / age etc). But lack of attention to the product for smallest basic things (e.g. number of unread messages in tab title) for years, and eventually announcement of shutdown, with simultaneous missteps with Chrome, really did it for me. Looking at a garbled mess that is Gmail UI on a larger resolution was not an option. Aqua Mail is amazingly customizable for Android, Postbox works nicely on OSX, and Firefox is better than ever and much easier to go back to than I expected. Not looking back for sure. If only I could get rid of my Gmail address as well, but that's significantly harder...

I use to think of networking as “going to events and handing out my business card”, which I could never quite bring myself to do. I figured I just wasn’t cut out for the whole networking thing.

What I ended up realising after looking back over my career was that I’ve been networking this whole time without even meaning to. By generally working hard and being friendly those who have come and gone over the years, I now have a pretty sizeable network of people who will vouch for me. If someone ever asks me for networking advice, it will be “find a job where other people are doing the same thing as you, and then become someone they enjoy working with”.

Conrad is another great example (maybe the only other example!), but I think perhaps part of the unusual beauty of his writing is that he does (involuntarily, I guess) occasionally employ irregular constructions because of the Polish and French he learnt before English.

Excellent question, I too think that the comment and perhaps post quality has somewhat deteriorared. To me it's the inane comments that don't add anything which bother me the most. And I don't want to start downvoting everyone for doing that but still, I'd much rather read some deep and thought-provoking observations than remarks such as "that's interesting" or even worse, puns.

But I guess this is what happens with all services when they start to get "main-stream" and start to become diluted by the masses. Without sounding too elitist, it's not all too terrible but you can see the difference between older posts comments and new.

If we need to restrict, that means we need to take away some choice. It's a straight implication.

I don't mean that pejoratively, I'm generally in favor of the idea.
You and OP didn’t mention the Bosque del Apache. It’s a few miles south of Socorro. Every year thousands of birds migrate to there. It’s a beautiful sight to behold in the perfect setting to see for miles into the distance.

NM is definitely underrated, but it’s hard for me to not see some problems of course. It’s got problems from being remote and sparsely populated. It’s a desert with plenty of water issues/disputes. It’s got good and bad history. Plenty of things to see and do that are beautiful to behold or experience. But I’m even more glad it’s not ruined with overpopulation.
Lawyer up, don't ask here.
You could still cast doubt on that, even if it were a completely separate team though.

Without knowing the causes for why Intel are failing to deliver 10nm we can't say if it's an Intel problem, or a 10nm team problem.

And even then, would they not be building on the 10nm process to develop the 7nm process to some extent? Otherwise you're reinventing the wheel twice, and may as well jump straight to 5/3/2nm processes.
My guess it would be an infrastructure platform where you serialize your code, and you would provide all primitives as SDK to manage business logic, storage and scheduling. Could we call it a batteries included FaaS platform? :)

You mentioned the service being accessible as a Java API. Would it be Java only or other SDK (Python, Rust, Go, ...) could follow?

Also, how do you think to distribute the service? Full SaaS or OSS/SaaS?

Congrats for the funding and good luck for coming challenges!
Well, it's the same crap in the EU

But of course people like to complain but comes EU election the participation is small (and the distribution gets heavier with age)

I'd say most people, by far, are perfectly fine with -O1 performance. -O2 (and higher) is only needed for very small and specific parts of a codebase (e.g. the inner parts of encoding and rendering).

The problem is having both at the same time (i haven't seen any build configuration try to mix optimization levels) without compromising on compiler speed for -O1, so projects that require -O2 for a 0.1% of their codebase apply it for 100% of it.

In theory depending on the language you could mix different compilers, but that is a big can of worms (and other bugs).

I have thought about using something else than gmail, but it seems hard to find something reliable enough, free, that will still be there in 10 years, which a good enough spam filter, with customizable filters and labels.

Changing one's email address is not a trivial task, I would not do it if I would be sure it's worth it.

I totally understand the political issues of privacy and monopolies, but fighting those by not using gmail is not going to improve things that much.

Everybody knows privacy is an issue, but switching to a privacy-oriented mail provider will also make somebody rich over some paranoia, and it won't necessarily make things more secure.
Not sure that's pattern matching... I'd call that destructuring, for me pattern matching also means the ability to fail the match (and try another).

I went digging. I found his claim repeated in a CNN article [1], but also found your claim backed up by government statistics [2][3]. His point was also backed up by a forward-looking government report, though [4].

Basically, the main differences were in products counted (CNN's headline includes natural gas and refined petroleum products as "oil exports", categories where the US is a heavy exporter) and in timescale. The production stats you cite are rising very rapidly - for reference, in 2018 alone U.S. production increased by 3 million barrels/day, almost 30% yearly. That's growing faster than the tech industry. So the government predicts that by 2021, the import/export shortfall will be completely erased and we'll be a net exporter of petroleum.

When Is Cheryl's Birthday? (Peter Norvig, 2015)
Variations in patterns of involuntary hospitalisation and in legal frameworks
The gist of the legislation is that it bans audio or video of abhorrent violent acts, which are defined roughly as: terrorist acts, murder, attempted murder, torture, rape, or kidnapping.[1] It appears that there's an "esafety commissioner" who would send notices identifying abhorrent violent material, and then the hosting company must expeditiously remove it.

Tech companies that are against this want to have their cake and eat it too.

They're already doing the same thing voluntarily, and it would create a moat: small competitors don't have the resources to have their own censorship department. Big internet platforms should welcome this, for giving them legal cover for some of their censorship. Instead, they complain because heaven forbid anyone interfere with their internal operations and their profiting from attention-capturing content.

The target is clearly things like the NZ shooter video, but it would also apply to things like ISIS videos, which are academically important and newsworthy. I would fully expect puritans to try to use this law against BDSM porn; there's always the claim that pornstars in that either aren't participating voluntarily, or the nature of the activity forecloses the possibility of valid consent.

At least if a government mandates this social media censorship, there is (theoretically) public accountability for the censorship criteria, and legal recourse if it gets expanded out of control. Currently, social media bans things whimsically based on whether they view the material as bad PR, or based on how many reports/flags it's received.

One might hope that with this kind of law, anything not legally banned would cease to be censored, and cease to be justification for being kicked off the platform; but I know that's probably not going to happen. Social media companies, even with this law, would keep up their extra-legal censorship.
