Socialism is communal ownership of the means of production and self-regulation of workers. This is ELEMENTARY, by the way, so your propaganda-based misinformation on the subject definitely demonstrates the low-quality of your opinion.

Using a government to regulate a market to provide a social safety net is not "socialism" outside of the radicalized anti-academic conservative sphere who use the red scare in every single post they make -- NO EXCEPTIONS (and you clearly fit the rule).

"Not surprised that a person who sees violence and robbery as a universal solution is acting like that. Shame I just got down to your disgustingly low level..."

At the end of the day, you are a fully radicalized zealot whose radical anti-civilization speech perfectly mirrors the alt-right terrorists who attack our civilization all across the globe. From the far-right radical sovereign citizens who resort to violence nearly every day, to the alt-right youth bigots who shoot up mosques/blackchurches/synagogues and drive into crowds, nearly all of them parrot exact same ideological script as you do.

If I had to pick the conservative terrorist that you remind me of, I'd say either the Bundy terrorists who violently attacked the government multiple times because it existed, or the Vegas Shooter who murdered all those people. Both are huge anti-government tax-is-theft "monopoly of violence" types, and they decided to end the "monopoly of violence" in their own ways.

I'm proud -- honored -- to hold myself to a dramatically higher, more academic and more rational standard than your policy of rote-repetition of terrorist propaganda. If you think my level is low, then I have succeeded, for it is the policy of your ideology to make rabid use of doublespeak. I am legitimately honored to be considered "low" by you as that is a rather significant testimony as to my high moral quality!
That returns false and now you have to track down a bug because you decided to be clever :D

> where the people are FINALLY going to have to pay for those roads the government’s been giving away for free for so long.

The article also makes the annoying case that there are those who live in apartments and dwellings that have to pay for parking by code, but don't use that parking because they don't drive; however, this entirely fails to take into account the effect on the city as a whole. Parking and road access isn't about individuals, it's about making an entire metropolitan area functional.

While these people may not drive and thus are seemingly cheated out of tax money, I have to ask, where do they get their groceries and other goods? How do they expect medical services to reach them in an emergency? How do they expect commerce to occur within an arms reach but at reasonable prices?

We all pay for the roads because we all use them, whether we as individuals own a vehicle or not.

This is very damning to Boeing. It's precisely the procedure they prescribed and intended to mitigate possible MCAS caused trim runaway. In light of the fact that they put this in place as a justification for moving the engines forward without reclassifying the plane, I don't see how they can get around fault here.

What a tragedy.

I can't imagine the emotion those pilots must have felt after attempting to do exactly what they were told to do to keep the aircraft in the air, only to have the nose lurch back downwards. Godspeed, gentlemen. It wasn't your fault.

Awkward question here... can anyone cite an example of a major-media news story that was actually factually wrong in a way that "open source fact checking" could have detected it?

Just because a bunch of people believe it's a problem doesn't mean it's a problem. I find the bias, when it exists, is in the presentation, not the facts themselves. And mainstream journalism is really committed to getting the facts right.

Social media may be subject to surveillance and censorship, but that doesn't stop people from discussing openly about posts being "harmonized" or certain keywords being "sensitive". There's no reason to suppose that finding genuine Uyghurs or Tibetans on there would be impossible.
MCAS issues nose-down, speed increases and nose pitches down. Nose never pitches back up. Plane crashes.

Sure, maybe some complex combination of maneuvers could have helped them out of this but there's really everything pointing the blame at this one system. Pilots did what the boeing manual suggested (even included at the end of this report).
Virginia had basically this system until about a decade ago. The tax lobby managed to kill it off under the argument that $40k/year to maintain it was too much for the state budget. The new e-file system costs a family $40 or so for in-state taxes if you don't want to mail in paper or make less than $66k.

H&R Block, Intuit, etc... made huge bank off of killing the state e-file system. There is zero chance they're going to let the feds implement something similar without an enormous fight.

I really feel as we're entering an era where full automation is the only solution. This current paradigm of the plane telling the pilots "I don't know what to do here - handing it back to you" doesn't make much sense. Do we just need better multi-modal and redundant sensors so the plane isn't flying blind?
> If there are issues with manually rectifying trim after it went haywire because of any reason, that might be a problem.

It's not so much a "problem" as it is "physics". If the stabilizers are forcing the nose down, and the pilot pulls back on the stick (engaging the elevators) to pull the nose up, the forces exerted on the stabilizer are such that, in extreme cases, human force is insufficient to move the manual wheel.

This is extremely (EDIT: No longer) well documented by Boeing going back decades, and it presents solutions of either: 1) reengaging the electronic stabilizer trim and trimming electronically back to a point where the forces are manageable, then cutting electronic trim again, or 2) relaxing the stick, letting the nose go the way the stabilizers want it to, which slackens the force, and makes cranking the wheel manually doable. Great if you're stabilizers are trimmed severely nose down at a height of 40,000 feet; less great at a height of 1,000 feet. (EDITED TO ADD: Apparently this information & procedure was removed from Boeing's manuals after the 1980s, and pilots no longer train on it, as the issues that led to its necessity were thought solved. The MCAS apparently has reintroduced the need for them.).

This is compounded by a new change in the 737-MAX: in prior 737 series aircraft, there are two stab trim cutout switches: one to cut the autopilot's ability to command the stabilizer trim, the other to cut electronic power to the stabilizer trim adjustment entirely, so you could stop the autopilot from changing the trim but still retain electronic control and not need to worry about the manual crank forces. The two switches are MAIN ELEC and AUTO PILOT.

In the MAX, this changed, and it's now an all or nothing setup: you have to kill electronic power to kill autopilot commands to the stabilizer. The two switches are now PRI and B/U. Both must be cut out to stop any stabilizer runaway, including MCAS runaway.

This all seems to add up to Boeing's narrative of "The MCAS is safe, pilots just need to know to hit the stab trim cutout" being grossly insufficient. They must cut it at a moment where the stabilizer isn't grossly mistrimmed with respect to level flight, OR they may well need to re-engage it and race the MCAS to get into a close-to-proper trim setup prior to cutting out the stabtrim and assuming manual trim control.

Where do I find a company implementing this brand of agile..?
Fact checking was very effective for publications like Readers' Digest that routinely invited guest authors. The publication wanted a variety of authors to contribute, and they also had a reputation to defend.

If you've ever been interviewed by a modern journo, you know you just get the same question reworded a dozen different ways. The reason is that they decide what story they want to write up front, and then just go shopping for facts to support it. That story is usually dictated by market pressures, which presently reward sensationalism to feed the addiction of a dwindling number of listeners in an echo chambers.

And current fact checkers are typically checking material put out by others, which is completely broken. They have all the same incentives as anyone writing a hit / puff piece, except they put a phony "truth number" at the top and other sites will tally those up as though it means something.
No, because the friction between the air and itself/the rest of the planet slows down the winds and dissipates the energy as heat
> Aerodynamic loading prevented manual trimming using the trim wheels.

Are the trim wheels mechanically connected to the trim mechanism in the back? Is there no way to trim the horizontal stabilizer electrically without also enabling MCAS? What would happen if the pilots continually pressed the trim up switch on the yoke? That should've prevented MCAS from activating, right?

I thought Boeing airplanes were built such that "the pilot is always in control". That doesn't seem to be the case anymore, if by cutting the power to certain subsystems you can't control the airplane anymore.
It doesn't have to be accurate it just has to be order-of-magnitude right. We're talking about a rough estimate of how much feature X costs.

If something costs 15k instead of 10k, that's understandable, if you estimated 10k and it ultimately costs 1.5 million to develop, obviously not.

My circle of friends are all into e-sports in one way or another; or rather high level gaming to the point they follow pros to keep up

-One has competed in multiple State-level Smash Bros Tournaments
-Another has competed in some of the big SF4-SF5 and DBZ Fighterz Tournaments (Going to CEO in Orlando)
-I have several friends who have achieved Master and Grandmaster in Overwatch (top 1%/ Top 500) and have played public matches with pros

I personally have gone to TI8 (Dota 2 international tournament with $25 million prizepool, the largest of any esports tournament ever) and it was the most fun I had in any live event, including traditional sports.

I don't know what to say, the interest is there, you just have to go find it.

Unless you mean "Where are the competitors" and to that I say the pool is very small since you need a combination of the following:

-A lot of free time to play

-Access to tournaments / Local community of players

-Ability to sustain your hobby / lifestyle

The third point is what kills most up and comers. Most tournaments are top heavy and you end up losing cash for participating and not getting out of pools / qualifiers and some winners only get a few thousand dollars at most for winning. Most companies have different approaches to solving this issue with League offering some form of Base salary to players, Overwatch having a Franchise system similar to Traditional sports, while Fighting Games and Dota are very much grassroots with some official tournaments sponsored by the developers.

Question: How do smart contracts handle defaults?

e.g.
day1: ledger A and B strike a deal to bet on the 6M Libor fix in 3 months time.
day 91: Libor fixes much higher than expected thanks to a continually robust IPO market and strong economy (but mostly the former.

In any event Ledger A now owes B 1,000 coins, but A only has 250 coins in its ledger. What happens? Is a partial payment done, or because this is a smart contract a Slack message is automagically sent to lawyers and/or collection agents?
There’s the concept of “effective speed” that encapsulates that idea. Here’s (1) a sample calculation that someone did for himself and under his assumptions, the effective speed for him using a car is about 2km/h. That’s about half as fast as walking.

On top of the distance taken out of commutes, think about the space taken up in terms of real estate. In Munich, which is a fairly dense city, the estimated share of parking space of the city area is about 12.5%. If you include space for moving vehicles, that estimate approaches 50%. That’s a substantial driver of real estate prices and rents.

If the storage is handled properly, RPi can do wonders.

I've used RPi1 as a git sever in our company for 5 years with encrypted USB flash drive as storage.

We must have committed at-least a million lines of code into it & we were using it every day.

Except for changing some memory related flags in git, I didn't change much w.r.t to git.

I had another encrypted USB flash drive to which the files were backed up, interestingly this flash drive failed but the primary drive never died till date.

The git server is running 24*7 on RPi1 for past 5 years.
You realize that this and worse (actual death penalty for the wrong religion) is quite common, right? All across northern Africa and southern Asia, particularly where they meet around the Middle East, it is totally normal to take far more extreme measures. Until the Chinese can go preach atheism in Mecca without fear of decapitation, they don't seem to be all that extreme.
It's true there were aggravating factors, like the inability to manually rectify trim, which (would seem to me) would be a aerodynamic or design issue.

The point still stands, the root cause was MCAS, without it this would never have happened. MCAS would not have pitched them into a dive, and even if they were pitched into a dive by some non MCAS system, they would have been able to turn on electric trim and recover. MCAS both caused the situation, and made fixing it impossible, so it was the root cause of the crash.
Doubtful. Older models don't have the oversized, forward-mounted engines, and thus don't have as much of an AoA problem as the MAX does in typical flight conditions.

That's the reason the MAX should have been a separate classification with specific hands-on training.
The most recent and obvious case in my mind: Covington Catholic Incident: almost every major mainstream media outlet ran with the narrative that the boys were harassing the Native Americans which was based solely on one video clip. No traditional investigative work was done. No one was interviewed (until the damage had been done). Nothing was fact checked. It was just one video, and boom: instant headlines.

> The basic logic is that if filing taxes is too easy, people will not have a good grasp on how much the government is asking of them

This basic idea seem patently ridiculous to me.

I've more-or-less made a career of doing math and managing complicated procedures, yet still, I find the current tax prep process to be such a mind-numbing grind that, by the time we get to the point where I've calculated how much tax I actually owe, I've long since quit caring to calculate what percentage of my income that is. By that point, the only number I care to see is how much I owe or will be refunded, so that I can just be done with the whole mess.

It's hard to imagine that someone who's got a more typical level of comfort with math is going to be any more prepared to do that one extra calculation.

If the GOP really wanted me to be aware of how much tax I'm paying, they'd reduce the whole process to a simple report they send me, with everything already calculated, that has "your calculated income tax in dollars" and "your calculated income tax as a % of net income" listed in big bold print at the very top.

It seems much more parsimonious to me to suppose that the logic is, "If we make income tax a hateful process, people will come to hate income tax."

(Which, incidentally, is a line of reasoning that would play very well to the position of those who want to get rid of progressive taxation. Most other forms of tax we have in the USA are either flat or regressive.)
