The OP said that if it's true that disabling MCAS made it impossible to trim the plane without losing too much altitude, that they hope those responsible for the decision to "go through with" (deploy?) MCAS are jailed.

The poor design of the system is directly stated as the reason the OP hopes people are imprisoned.

I'm al for an investigation. Publicly calling for jail time so prematurely, in a case that would surely be highly publicized and politicized, makes it even harder to conduct an impartial investigation and trial.

When the public puts pressure on the courts to hand down a predetermined verdict and punishement and they are successful in their efforts to bias the process, that is mob vengeance.
They won’t have a huge amount of cash on hand, though. I imagine a modern bank run would happen in slow motion.

That would be the courts. Since libel/slander/defamation is already against the law. It's rather different from being misinformed and retracting the content and doubling down on lying because it's politically expedient. At least it was before this Presidency in the United States. I'm not sure how a purveyor of conspiracy theories being the ultimate enforcer of the law changes that, if at all.

Does the Marcos deliver the video too? I know some Family Videos have Marcos attached to them.

I rented a lot of movies from Family Video in high school. There was a location about halfway between my house and my girlfriends. It closed at Midnight, and my curfew was midnight, so I stopped by right before closing almost every night one summer. They had a deal where you got an old release for free with every new release and it was like 3 dollars.

That was a fun summer.
> Why does it take a week to accept/deny that...?

Because they have to check hundreds of thousands of applications a day, most of which improve stupid things like typos. Having the biggest part of the cake doesn't help either.
> We're cool with Swedes overstaying their welcome...

I think it has less to do with "being cool with Swedes", and more to do with the fact that illegal immigrants are -- statistically speaking -- overwhelming Hispanic, and anyone identifying illegals will have better results among Hispanics.

I don't think anyone is more cool with a Swede conducting a terrorist attack than an Arab. Rather, any tenancy to profile Arabs as terrorists comes from the fact that most terrorists are Arabic.

This is not to justify the practice of racial profiling. I merely assert that the motivations for racial profiling stems more from actual statistics and cost-benefit analysis than intrinsic irrational racism as I think you suggest.

So infuriating. We were surcharged and paid billions into fixing this. The universal service fund went into CEO compensation and not much else.
"continuous delivery" != "test in production"

But even if it were, why do you think continuous delivery is the appropriate choice of workflow when you don't actually control the "delivery" part?
Unless I am not seeing a polyfill inclusion, at least some of these are supported in Firefox already (66.0.2) - Color Input and Data Lists, in particular.

(Not trying to dis Webkit/Safari here - just saying that the "Can I Use?" list grows desirably longer.)
Ah right, yep, thanks for clearing that up.
Where is the U2F/FIDO support? The Mac could be using the T2/Secure Enclave to differentiate massively here - same goes for the iPhone and iOS. (The Pixelbook just enabled built in U2F hardware behind a shell flag.)

TOTP is still vulnerable to phishing. Why Apple has been ignoring this when their biometric products are such a great fit for it is a mystery to me.

I live in Canada and I have no idea what this opinion piece is talking about. You would expect such an impressive improvement to be on the front page of every news agency, and the institute behind it become a household name. Yet this is the first time I am hearing about either of those. I would appreciate it if someone could shed some light on the claims.
Most people's internet access was limited to either their university, or a shitty, time-limited, low-bandwidth dial-up connection that blocked your household phoneline.

Yeah, it's perfectly reasonable to set this game in a magical fantasy world where underground rail is an order of magnitude cheaper than the US. This fantasy world is commonly referred to as "France" (https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2018/01/why-its-so-ex...).
IAAD. Most of these points on medicine are either outdated or plain inaccurate.
1. The AMA had tight control on med schools 50-100 years ago. These days a mediocre score on the MCAT and a desire for $300k+ in debt will get you into a for-profit medical school. More DOs match with MDs, there are more foreign IMGs, and even US med school slots have grown in the past 10 years. The (over)supply of med students is a non-issue in 2019 except for the aforementioned bag holders that really had no business in med school.

2. Since the 60s the AMA continues a slow decline in relevance. Less than 25% of MDs in the US are AMA members. I was an AMA member. Why? Because they bribed me and my classmates with significant discounts on exam prep material. At some point there will be more student members than practicing physicians.

3. The AMA may be aware of pediatricians vs. cardiologists, but they have little to do with it now. One, the over-abundance of cardiologists isn't an indisputable fact. Regional maldistribution is a thing. There are many parts of the US where a cards referral will still take months. The AMA is not the reason pediatric specialities have relatively poor compensation relative to years of training and lifestyle. The ACGME and other interest groups, even big pharma, device manufacturers had much to do with setting the stage. These days, large organizations help maintain the status quo.

Consider that pediatric subspecialties are not competitive. Just about any average to slightly below average US grad that wants to do it can... it's not a labor supply issue!

In 2019 some doctors have it pretty good, and some not so much. Geographic disparities are huge. The public policy affecting medical practitioners is now a large number of independent special interest groups and public policy wonks. For instance, cardiologists have the ACC (their own body), but what is really powerful at this point is the motley group of pharma companies and interventional device mfrs, and huge HCOs... practitioners can benefit because obviously some interests align (A TAVR isn't too profitable without a doc to place it).

tl;dr medical professionals sort of bounce around in a Medusa head of healthcare organization and industry special interests these days... we're doing well insofar as we are useful idiots in this machine. The idea that we have unified representation is laughable.
Very true, though this seems to plug at least one potential data leak.
There's a decent argument to be made that it is an inherently Roman Catholic ideology. For example, no other civilization came up with the idea; the medieval scholastics did, and heralded it through the modern day. Obviously there's more to the argument than that, but there's no use talking about it unless you've studied the theology of the day.

And you are incorrect, during medieval times, monks were not the "only ones educated enough to be able to do so." Jews, merchants, royals were all quite educated. To say nothing of scholars in other civilizations, some of which operated at a higher technological and cultural level than the West did.
The link seems to be broken for me at least. Here's a working one: https://edition.cnn.com/2019/04/05/europe/ireland-airbnb-hid...
> Do we know how ICE asked for these records?

We know that Motel 6 didn't claim their staff were misled into a belief that they were legally compelled, which—even if it wasn't a legal defense, for PR reasons—you'd expect them to do if it was true.
In my experience new releases have long waiting lists at libraries. Might be less true now that everyone streams most things, but this is how it was when I was in college.

I used to go to the college library and get videos pretty often. I'd usually rip them to my laptop and return them in the same day, letting me get way more movies than I could watch.
>You realize the scientific method was invented by medieval monks, right?

10% ad valorem tax on everybody else who was struggling to provide even for themselves definitely helped to have plenty of a free time which was mostly wasted on the things far from any scientific methods.
> If work conditions are bad, it is because many people fancy their job over the alternatives.

What lol? No, working conditions are bad due to deadlines and management being unwilling to hire more people / move deadlines / cut scope / etc.
On the one hand, sure, this is true. On a deeper level this is just a criticism that the methods may not apply across the whole population -- that they may not be able to reduce the rate to 0. Fair enough. But given that more than 80% of Canada's population lives in urban centers, and indeed, that about half the country lives in the corridor you mentioned (Windsor-Quebec City corridor), it's a really good start, and may yield many more dividends yet.
...I had no clue Blu-Ray was already superseded. Thanks for mentioning this.
> However, many poorer folks need to learn self-control and the power of saving.

Counterpoint: the many ways that our economic system can wipe out whatever savings you might have (medical costs, unemployment, legal costs that fall heaviest upon the poor) make spending money on pure luxury - or even the lottery for that matter - a perfectly rational action.

If you don't believe your savings will be there tomorrow, why not spend it today?
Will be interesting to see if WebM support in WebRTC eventually becomes native macOS support for the codec (e.g. in Quicktime Player and iTunes).

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone use this app as an ebook manager?

“I know my fate. One day my name will be associated with the memory of something tremendous — a crisis without equal on earth, the most profound collision of conscience, a decision that was conjured up against everything that had been believed, demanded, hallowed so far. I am no man, I am dynamite.”

Ecce Homo
I take issue with your definition of a "victim" as someone who can't get out of a situation they are in. If we are speaking counter-factually about what any victim of an assault could have done, let's look to the "why didn't they leave?" question to those in abusive intimate relationships. Surely, you're not claiming it's all on the abused spouse, as they could have left at any time? Could they really have, when their emotional, financial, and personal livelihood is wrapped up in this relationship? Could they break their psychological barricades and escape? Some can, some do, and some can't.

It just comes across as a very callous definition, the 22 year old brain is much more idealistic and hopeful, and far less experienced/knowledgeable about workplace rights/conditions. Surely, you see the difficulty of these naive, youhtful video game makers' situations, who get exploited with unpaid overtime, unrealistic demands, and being cut from their company with little cause?

My point is 100% of the blame can not fall on an employee here, there is agency on both sides. Companies can be better to their workers, and workers can save money more diligently, improve their skills, and apply around for other jobs to improve their situation.
A lot of that (most?) has to do with (illegal) foreign influence. Especially in Metro Vancouver, where illegal money laundering schemes that heavily impact the housing markets (that appears to be where the money is invested) exceed a billion dollars annually.

It’s an issue that’s finally getting some attention beyond anecdotal “the Chinese own everything in Vancouver”.
I agree. The wake-up call for me that the streaming promise was hollow was when PBS Video went on line. I imagined it steadily growing to cover the entire back catalog of PBS. What a fabulous public resource that would be. Alas, no, it's a tiny slice of stuff with limited availability windows.

We supplement streaming Netflix with our local library system, which has a fairly deep collection.
We (somewhat) have. I was part of a focus/design thinking group for VW working on this.

I think what’s mostly holding it back right now is the relative low prevalence of electric cars and that, as far as I can tell, we have not yet reached the point where renewable energy actually needs batteries. The scheme only makes sense when Wind & Solar actually exceeds demand for significant stretches of time.

After that, there are some issues: car manufacturers need to somehow find a scheme for them to make it worthwhile for them. Owners need to be compensated at least for whatever wear it inflicts on batteries.

They had simulations showing the scheduling would actually be somewhat easy. This was three or four years ago, and their algorithms were already almost perfect in predicting when you would need your car.
Fair point. On one hand it makes me a little sad to see parades rained on. On the other, I assume folks want some degree of criticism if their ideas have some sort of flaw. On the gripping hand (such a useful metaphor, that) if we're going to tolerate some amount of politely-phrased negative feedback, then we probably shouldn't sweep some of it under the rug because it isn't the "acceptable" kind of feedback. Not that you are doing that, mind you. But it seems like some of that may have happened here.

Full disclosure: I know Matt and think he's a good guy, and he reached out to me wondering if he'd done something wrong. And I can actually kind of see both sides of this situation. But unlike him, I know I'm kind of a hard-ass about access issues not because I want to be, but because today's cool idea might be tomorrow's "no job for you, Nolan," and not because anyone wants that, but well, what do you tell someone who wants to work for a company but can't because most of the tools they use aren't accessible, so you literally can't do the job they need? And yes, this has happened to me before. And we can sit around and talk about privilege or who is at fault all day, which may certainly be a worthwhile discussion to have, but at the end of the day, the discussion I most want to have is "are you going to change your company's workflow to account for the fact that I'm qualified to do this job but can't as things stand?" and the answer is usually "nah, easier to find someone else, sorry."

So that's where Matt and I are coming from, and I wish folks hadn't piled onto him for trying to express that. And while I'd like to be nice and polite about that, well, what do I get when I am? A cookie? I'll try to pay the rent and do fun stuff with that cookie, thanks. :P

Enough novels from me. Got stuff to do. :)
I loved Netflix DVD, but this is the primary reason I canceled. I wasn't watching them as often, and I told myself that once I exhaust the library's selection of all the movies I want to see, I would resume the Netflix subscription.
What saddens me[1] is how horribly hopeless Safari's Developer Tools are. They are basically unusable at this point. Every month Chrome adds more capabilities to their dev tools than Safari in a whole year.

[1] It's been saddening (is this a word?) me for over six years now. Safari's dev tools were best in class, and then they never really improved. The UI was updated once or twice, each time making the UX considerably worse. People may complain about how Apple doesn't care about pro market anymore, but the writing has been on the wall for some time now, and the first canary in the coal mine was Safari.

BTW. If you're interested, go to Develop -> Enter responsive mode. And then go Develop -> Show web inspector. Good luck working with the unzoomable screen. The first time I saw it, I had to go outside and walk for a bit.
>It is not how most rich people got rich by any stretch of the imagination.

Have you read the Millionaire Next Door?

I suppose it depends how you define "rich" these days, but the data in that book seems to indicate that most US dollar millionaire households are dual middle income workers who live below their means for decades and actively save and invest the difference.
Eh, often hard pressed to make an argument for time considering the detour to pick up the coffee, waiting in line. Brewing at home takes mere minutes. Convenience, sure. You just pay, then drink.

Then again I see the mentality in some tech professionals wanting to eliminate every little "inefficient" use of time including food prep so they can park their ass longer. I guess it's individual.

For myself it's a mental health cost. We have a shared office but only go 2-3 times a week. The coffee shop allows me to be in a social environment away from home.
You are saying that lying online is a problem so severe that it requires solutions too radical to contemplate?
It depends on what you watch. Redbox is good for recent releases, not so much for other things. Also, I find there's a lot to be said for a disk just sitting next to my TV rather than having to jump in the car. (I admittedly might feel differently if I could just walk out my door to a Redbox.)
I for one, appreciate this perspective. Thank you for sharing.
Wind and solar are baseload power. Very cheap, but don’t follow the demand curve. That’s a fairly direct replacement for coal and nuclear, it’s just peeking power in we need to deal with.

Because they are so cheap wasting some power output each day is simply not as big a deal. The balance point between extra wasted production, storage, and peaking power plants is not obvious or nessisarily stable as prices change.
Not saying she wouldn't have been charged anyway, just saying she would've had a stronger case that might have been winnable.
This isn't like it was just people caving to law enforcement in the moment, it was codified Motel 6 policy:

> 4.3 ICE's usual practice was to come to Motel 6's reception desk and request the guest list from the receptionist. The receptionist would print out the guest list and give it to the ICE agent, along with a "law enforcement acknowledgment form" for the agent to sign, acknowledging receipt of the guest list. The ICE agent would review the guest list and identify individuals of interest to ICE.
Pharo SmallTalk is getting some steam right now and worth checking out. Elixir is pretty cool. But I don't think either are the holy grail of OOP.

I would really like to see some OOP language that implements James Reed's reference versioning or at lest a weaker implementation where every object "mutation" creates an effective copy with the changes, without touching anything that would be referenced previously. It would fix a lot of low-level annoyances people have with SmallTalk, JavaScript and so on. Would be extra amazing if it was based on prototypes, not classes. But at this point it sounds like I would have to write it myself.
ICE didn't commit a crime...It is not illegal for government agencies to request information from individuals or companies.

Nor did Motel 6 for that matter. It was hit with a civil lawsuit...
Targeting the "web platform" does not by itself magically make an application accessible. It is vastly easier to make a native iOS or Android app accessible given the well defined rich widgets and the absence of 20 years of HTML and CSS evolution.
The government told Motel 6 to comply with a request and then the government sues Motel 6 for complying with the request.

Sounds like par for the course to me!
"entire point was that saving money on coffee is not a habit which in isolation will make a huge difference in anyone's financial future"

As ineedausername said. It isn't meant literally, its about a mindset.

Its about pointing out that mindlessly spending $5 everyday adds up to $xxx,xxx. If its still worth it for you then great, but make that decision consciously.

I'm not even sure the advice is aimed at poor people, rather middle income people that spend their entire wage (plus) each month.
Personally I think if you have $50k/y discretionary spending it's not unreasonable to spend $10k-20k of that on things you enjoy. Personally I save more, because most of the things I enjoy are free and I want to take advantage of compound interest while I'm young, but that's a personal choice.

But if there are things aside from investments that you do want to spend your money on while you have such a significant (compared to the rest of the world) amount of disposable income, why deprive yourself just so you can retire with 25% more money? Your life would not be much different retiring with $2mm vs. $2.5mm, or really any two numbers over $1mm or so.
Which exceeded expectations by something like 20k iirc.
Redbox is good if you want one of the top 100 or so new releases that fit in the box, but a big point of the OP is that Netflix has 100K+ titles, obviously Redbox can't match that.
Yes, AI Will Replace Designers
I've long liked what the Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor, an Episcopal priest, said nearly 20 years ago: "Having been brought up with a definition of faith as adherence to a set of beliefs, I have more and more begun to turn instead toward a definition of faith as openness to truth, whatever truth may turn out to be."[0] (emphasis added).

I added somewhat later that "openness to truth goes hand in hand with trust in God. When we recite the Apostles' Creed or Nicene Creed, the very first thing we declare is our trust in God: 'We believe in one God ....' If we trust in God, we won't shrink from truth, whatever it may turn out to be." [1]

> So, you think that it is rational to believe that virgins can give birth and that people can come back to life after being dead for more than a day and without modern medical intervention, to pick some of the most universally accepted doctrine of Christianity?

It's perfectly rational if you accept the idea of non-materialist interventions in the world, which I think a Christian would. Materialism is an assumption.
It has been in the news in Canada, it just doesn't make the front page. Steven Pinker talks about this; slow steady improvements aren't reported because no one writes stories with the headline, "10 fewer people starved today", even though over time this can be a significant reduction in suffering. If it bleeds it leads...
Decades of the War on Drugs Has Spread Drug Trafficking
Side note, but "1.44MB" has always been wrong regardless if you are using base 2 or base 10 notation. The actual size is 1.44 * 1000 * 1024 bytes (or 1440 KB). To me this always seemed wrong to divide the actual capacity by 1024 then again by 1000 to get to 1.44 (stick with MiB / KiB, or MB/KB, but don't mix them).
If your pulling out more than $50k, its advisable to call the bank branch and give them a heads up, as they'll shuffle money to the branch on your behalf.
