Despite the headline, the article ends with:

That triple-sensor system isn’t foolproof, however.

In 2008, on a customer-acceptance flight of an Airbus A320, two of the angle-of-attack sensors froze and those two sensors then outvoted the third. When the pilots went to demonstrate the stall-prevention system, they were not aware of the malfunctioning sensors. The plane crashed, killing the seven people on board.

The same problem arose again on a 2014 Airbus A321 Lufthansa flight leaving Spain. Eight minutes after takeoff, two of the angle-of-attack sensors froze at the same pitch. This time, after a drop in altitude, the pilots were able to regain control and complete the flight.

Any automation system can fail, and when that happens, hope that through some combination of luck, skill, experience, and training, the pilot will get the plane safely to the destination.

If you're white and male, sure, you can go to the cops and they may or may not do something depending on where you live.

If you're not they may think it's just hilarious to torment you, to ridicule you, or worse.

In some places in America, for many people, the police are the enemy and cannot be engaged with in any capacity for any reason whatsoever.
When I started out I used to contact companies and try to sell them a site upgrade, generally focusing on something that was better looking. I wonder if now the better opportunity is to demonstrate how much more efficiently you can code their site to increase performance. Reinforcing that with data on how this affects sales and surely you could snatch quite a few contracts.

HTML DRM is antithetical to the Open Web itself. It was built on a sham of "plugin-free" media playback, but all we did was change Flash and Silverlight for a whole range of closed black boxes, which in turn are effectively all controlled by Big Media (to make it crystal clear: EME was built with third-party decryption modules in mind, and Big Media was obviously never going to support any sort of decryption modules that they couldn't control, so even if your custom browser supports EME it's completely useless without a Big Media-approved decryption module). And make no mistake: Requiring permission from Big Media to essentially build a fully-fledged browser is a 100% intended and expected outcome of HTML DRM as conceived. Big Media would love nothing more than to turn the entirety of the Open Web into Closed Web that they control, and with HTML DRM they've certainly achieved a great step toward doing so, to the detriment of public at wide. I'm sure they're positively salivating about the thought of eventually reaching The Right to Read![2]

"Massive hole" is going to bug my imagination all day.
I work at Amazon and I don't believe that applies here. There certainly is an expectation that you can coordinate increasingly broad efforts as you rise through the ranks, but the focus isn't on launching new products (in my experience). Impact can be anything that is positive and measurable. At the end of the day if you make the company $1million then it doesn't really matter where you do it.
Me too. We've considered holidays that would take us close to the states (Canada and the Caribbean) but there are very few flights direct from New Zealand and they're crazy expensive.
They don't ask anything because the answer changes nothing. If they get an offer, they'll 99% take it. If they get two competing offers (I'd say this is uncommon unless you're interviewing in a very large job market like SV) they'd most likely know which one they prefer based on their individual criteria (unlikely this would come down to a question asked in an interview).

Second, most people aren't lucky enough to interview for their dream job, they usually have to settle for something else. Consequently, they really have no significant interest in their future industry. Do you blame them?

You want them to fake interest? Sure, they can do that, but does it really help anyone? They applied because they might want to work there, for whatever reason. Why not let them be concerned with how interested they are?
No. I like pinning (which is widespread outside of browser applications) and certainly it's better than DNSSEC, but my argument holds together just fine without it.

It hardly matters at this point, though. DNSSEC is a dead letter. It's over. Stick a fork in it. It'll be around indefinitely for performative nerds to performatively noodle with --- lots of dead IETF protocols are! --- but Cloud Flare is likely to be the largest company ever to use it (and they're the exception that proves the rule, since they sell DNSSEC services).
A lot of paper in the US ends up in landfills. Paper in a landfill is sequestered carbon, since it basically does not decompose once it’s buried.

Materials M&A Mania
The comparison to physical books is not apt. Physical books cannot be easily and for almost no cost reproduced and distributed the way ebooks can.

In the end, did Nook Media have the only license to distribute some of these books? If not, the customers actually come out ahead here: they got to read the books for free, as many times as they wanted, as their leisure, since purchasing it.

They are now free to use that money to repurchase the same title at a competitor, if they like. Or a different title.

Having said that, a better way to make this right for customers would be to offer them either a refund OR a DRM-Free copy.

I'm actually surprised they let you stay on the train. Both times I've taken that route they seemed pretty diligent about making sure everybody was off the train. I assume this is for safety reasons -- down in a darkened train on the lowest deck would be the last place I'd want to be if the ferry had any difficulties.

I really liked the ferry experience. The ferry part is only about 40 minutes, but it's just enough time to have a quick meal in the on-board restaurant. Unsurprisingly it's not exactly a bargain price for a buffet, but it did break up the train journey nicely. It's pleasant to sit in a comfortable booth and stare out at the sea for a bit.
My takeaway from this article is to use what you know if you want to ship something. With every new project, you’re given the choice to use a new stack. I think it’s pretty rare that you want to ship something, have the chops to ship it, but some new magic thing is worth the time investment to make it happen.

For instance, I really don’t want to take the time to learn Laravel. I get my fastest work done with React and a turnkey serverless solution.
I fully agree with your first point. The investors aren't doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, they think it's positive expectation in the long run.

The second point makes sense too. I think a weaker argument along those lines still works, though -- Something like, "If they couldn't become profitable by raising prices they're burning that money."

Ford is a profitable company, and if they set their prices to zero they would deliver more value than their cash hoard before they went bankrupt.

If Lyft upped their prices to juuust below your marginal utility for a ride and still weren't profitable, the Pareto argument (plus a penny) is pretty solid.

When the trees die, won't the carbon be re-introduced to the atmosphere over time via microbial decomposition of the wood? That is, once the microbes that eat the trees die, they'll be eaten by something that is eventually eaten by something on the surface, thus releasing the carbon sequestered by the tree.
Last I looked at Boost's offerings for state machines, my team and I found the offerings lacking. I forget exactly what it was missing (it's been 6-7 years and 4 jobs ago). May have been needing to perform actions on leaving a state, but not sure.

Edit: Boost is my first stop for non-standard C++ libs, but this time the offering was lacking. Previously also had issues with the date/time libs. Like they got 90% of the way there, and then didn't quite finish. Example: time zone handling. Has all of the infrastructure to support it, but no facility to really provide the necessary data. Also, their CSV of timezones was not historical, so broke down trying to do historical work for something like an energy contract in finance, where it was necessary to know if there were 23, 24 or 25 hours in a calendar day (or other value!) in a given year. Also, the interfaces for posix_time and local_date_time are a little clunky. I ended up with a facade that exposed an API more like Python's datetime lib. We also had a timezone loader to handle Olson TZ databases for the historical TZ info (and future updates) for both Linux and Windows.

There's two things to understand the comment.

In the UK, "a hole" means that a place is bad. I think you could probably translate this into more international English by making a similar pun on "Colchester is already a dive", but it doesn't work quite as smoothly.

Secondly, Colchester is a principal part of Essex, which vies with Newcastle for being the UK's New Jersey, but in a worse way than Newcastle. Wikipedia has several articles on the pejorative Essex stereotypes. Colchester also has a major military base, which makes it a center for squaddies[0].

Yeah buddy, that isn't right. That is comprehensive income (most of the financial websites just report the simple line items, which are usually right but very wrong when they are misleading).

For HK stocks, you get the press releases/filings from: http://www3.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/advancedsearch/s... - and this is the annual report, http://www3.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/SEHK/2019/0311/L...

As said though, I have no idea if I am looking at the right company (you sometimes find that there is a holding company or a stock with a similar name or something). Pretty sure it is the same Meituan...but maybe not (and if it is, I still don't understand the losses they booked to equity).
Thats exactly my point though - no one will ever read the terms. You shouldn't have to dig through x pages of legalese to know what you are agreeing to within an app.

The point of a minimum wage is exactly to stop the those desperate for work to work for less than a living wage. This is due to the thought that allowing people to be hired for less than a living wage is essentially condemning those people to work for hours that are not healthy for mind or body in order to make ends meet.

If a minimum wage is too high, then sure, its a bad thing because companies can't afford to hire workers for menial tasks which stops workers from working.

But simultaneously, if it's too low, it leads to dangerous precedents exactly like you've described - menial tasks being farmed out to people desperate for any kind of cash, leading to them having to work inordinate number of hours to make a living wage - this is not a society I want to live in, and having to work exceedingly large hours due to my job not giving me enough money is also a "violation" of my human rights - that of a "just and favourable condition of work".

The trick is of course balancing the minimum wage with it's downsides of being too high - and there is fair argument that the US has let this slip below livable wage.

>This, 100%. If I have some menial task that doesn't justify paying minimum wage, and I have a person interested in this contract, then the government's intervention is violating our rights.

USA already has a problem with wealth inequality, and in the current system, removing minimum wage entirely would overall exacerbate this, not help, as now you're having minimum wage workers compete with no income workers - and the argument is that - increasingly - minimum wage workers already have trouble making ends meet. Minimum wage in this context is as much a Violation of rights as the context you are suggesting - and in my opinion, an odd choice of words to use in this context.

Edit - Can you explain why I'm being downvoted? I don't think I've broken any rules here.
The weight is likely a wash. Its 2 different items so more opportunities for one being lost/broken. It’s easy to forget the charger. A charger is only useful if you have a place to charge. And finally, a charger means a cable sticking to an outlet, potentially out in public, which isn’t just more annoying than simply having the laptop, but increases the risk of damage.

I’m finding it hard to see a scenario where I would prefer a charger over a little additional weight on the laptop itself.

Now there is just the cafe car and these airplane style meals included with sleeping car tickets.. not the same at all.

> A very occasional lapse in service is acceptable for entertainment platforms.

I would generally agree that this is acceptable, but it's still a step backwards from Itch and GOG, where my library literally never has a lapse in service. Steam is arguably one of the best DRM solutions out there, but even the best solution on the market still has worse uptime and reliability than a store that just provides users with a bunch of DRM free downloads that they can launch offline whenever they want.

Of course, platforms like Itch don't have cloud saves. But Steam's DRM isn't essential for cloud saves, or for the community workshop, or for the storefront, or for the library management tools. The DRM part of it doesn't add any value to the consumer. So while Steam is an excellent product, Steam without DRM would still be a better product than it is right now.

That's what people mean when they complain about DRM. You can take a great product and add DRM in a way that doesn't completely break it, but it's still pretty much always a strict downgrade in user experience. People look at services like Steam and think, "yeah, this is acceptable. But it could so easily be really great."
Comparing this to myself, I often carry two cell phones, I assume my USB drives are not infected, but have no idea if they are and if they are I wouldn't be able to tell based on what I understand of infections that live in the firmware, and when I was much younger, in my teens and early 20s, I definitely snuck into quite a few nice swimming pools at hotels and clubs, along with every one of my peers! I also snuck into a major party presidential convention once because why not, and it was educational and interesting and democratic to do so anyway.

I don't have two passports, but I've heard a lot of people do.

So this all sounds dodgy when they report on it like that, but there's also a chance she's just someone going for a swim. In which case though trespassing charges and false statements charges are still legit.

Of course there's more to the case than this, she changed her story multiple times and eventually said that a person unknown to her had asked her to fly from Shanghai to Florida in order to speak to Trump. I think it would be a waste of time to try to get to the bottom of what she was up to, best way to handle this is get a quick conviction and permanently deport her back.
Its not about having a tight lead every second of every moment on the president.

This study is focused on price to buy, where a huge segment of the population are renters.

This is the core issue with so many of these reports. Focusing on buying already rules out a huge segment of the population (incidentally the ones who have trouble surviving!), and ignores the fact that rent/buy ratios are very different between markets.

US buying prices are relatively low because of how the entire economy is based around home ownership. But almost half the population rents.
