This is what happens when greed takes over and people don’t put up with it. We need the same revolution in the Bay Area.

If you’re aspiring to be a landlord: don’t. It’s not noble, it’s not useful, and it’s quite literally rent seeking.

If you live in the bay and own, refuse to sell to faceless Chinese investors, real estate trusts, etc. Sell to families and individuals who need to live.
My experience is engineers get heavily judged for not having the latest bro tech on their resume.
It is basically the most controversial stock on Wall Street. There are either people who think this is going to one day be a $1 trillion company or believe this company is quickly going bankrupt. It is one of the greatest Rorschach tests I've ever seen.
Issue is, this works only for very simple systems. With complexity comes maintenance and operations. You also cannot build anything innovative in case of heavy load systems because you cannot embbed your custom highly performant solutions (cloud provider simply does not support them ootb).

Serverless sounds great for "some" kind of systems but in other cases its a complete missfire.
Our job is to know which tool to use.
That is not completely accurate. Streets are primarily funded by excise taxes on gasoline. So yeah, the roads were never free, there is a usage tax on it. Electric vehicles change this dynamic to the point where we need to just charge for use directly.
My first programming was done with Perl. Those first attempts at programming definitely resembled a monkey throwing paint at a wall, so this does not surprise me.
Even if this wasn't successfully done they would still be at fault. A plane is suppose to operate without have to have to do this, the procedures are a safety protocol. For the MCAS and safety protocol to fail is a double whammy.
If it renders in a facsimile of the correct script, this allows you to:

- see that it's foreign text, rather than pictographs or weird english text.

- see when the shapes of other languages are used to make pictures (¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

- if it's a foreign language, you can guess which language

- you can guess at the complexity of what was written, for example by looking for repeated substrings.
The big difference is that while Japan was frequently accused of IP theft, the actual occurrences were few and far between as the result of individual corporate activity.

Chinese IP theft isn't just rampant--it's actively promoted and paid for by the Chinese government, which even goes so far as to identify targets for IP theft and provides governmental assistance in extracting stolen IP from the victim country.
The congestion in NYC makes it dangerous to bike and slows down busses. Allowing cars to own the roads is precisely a "richest wins" approach, at least in Manhattan.
Three worries for me:

1. I know the risk of only being able to peer through the fence at the distant piece of software that is running your business, unable to gain any insight while your production application is limping badly and customers are running away like water. On top of that, thrashing it out with Mr Clippy is better than average support. If my business depends on it I want experts at hand who have the tools and the access they need to do the job they do.

2. The insane pace of serverless is entirely fad driven and lacks quality engineering which is required for critical pieces of software. The tools are universally poor quality, unstable, unreliable, poorly documented and built on gaining mindshare, making IPO and selling conference seats. Best practice never materialise as the rate of change does not allow an ecosystem to settle and work the bugs out. The friction is absolutely terrible but no one speaks of this in fear of their cloud project being labelled a failure. Every person I have spoken to for months is hiding little pockets of pain under a banner of success. Some people clearly will never deliver and burn mountains of cash hiding this.

3. Once you enter an ecosystem, you are at the mercy of the ecosystem entirely, be that a service provider or a tool. Portability is always valuable. It has cost, scalability, redundancy and risk benefits far beyond the short term gain of a single vendor decision. I'm currently laughing at an AWS quote for a SQL Server instance with half the grunt, no redundancy, no insight possible for only 2x the capex and opex combined of dedicated hardware including staff. But can't move to Azure because everything is tied into SQS.

I can never be behind anything but IaaS myself. This is contrarian especially in this arena but I will put my 25 years of experience on the line every time and say that it is the right thing to do. IaaS is choice, flexibility, allows you to gain deep insights and protects you from serfdom, fad technology and pick and choose mature products rather than what the vendor sees fit.

This is just another rehash of buying a mainframe. It's just bigger and you pay hourly to write COBOL.
First, love the project. Hope it works and makes journalism better. Even if it doesn't it will be interesting to see how much the news industry sees value in crowd-sourced fact-checking.

Good luck!

You elected them to write new laws. They’re letting corporations do it instead
I am not sure what you are trying to say.

Any driver for a multiuser OS that essentially bypasses protection mechanisms by the kernel for non-root users is broken, period.

There is no argument about it.
1. Using the input from a single AoA sensor as the single source of truth.

2. Not ticking the box on the AoA DISAGREE alert option on the order sheet.

3. Not using electronic override to neutral before STAB TRIM CUTOUT.
This has, in fact, reinforced my sincere belief that Perl is God's chosen language.
Round-up on the forsaken world of external laptop displays
Disclosure: I'm a Tesla owner;

I don't understand the point of this argument. Yes, in a ICE vehicle you can reach your destination marginally faster (we're talking about an hour on an 11-hour trip up the I-95 corridor, in my experience), but is that actually an important factor? For 99.9% of trips that are within a couple hundred miles of home, travel time is the same. If time is such an important factor on a long road trip, you should probably just be flying instead. I would venture that the number of people that want to drive > 5 hours, and have a requirement to do so "as fast as humanly possible" is pretty small. In that regard, the Model 3 is a BEV that requires practically zero compromises for both day-to-day and long road trip travelling, which is primarily due to the money and effort Tesla has spent on building the SC network. For that reason, I would not consider another EV besides Tesla until other manufacturers (or whoever) puts their money where their mouths are and builds out a fast-charging infrastructure that enables such long-distance travel.
They are capital spending very heavily to advance their tech, so a lack of "profitability" I don't think says any more than it does about Tesla-- they would be fools to pocket their profit instead of turning it around to spend on growth.
Yeah, basically in the places that coastal elites exist.
The United States Needs a Universal System to Pay for Public Transit
Those who really care about the environment, know that reuse and recycling are the best approaches. So, you could buy a 15-yr old Toyota or Hyundai, since that carbon footprint already exist. You shouldn't be needlessly creating more deadly CO2.

Further, in terms of energy density: solar, wind, coal, natural gas all pack far less joules per gram than petroleum.

These are inconvenient truths that unfortunately conflict with the slick marketing messages of your luxury golf cart salesman.
Set an alert for 10 in a year or 5 in a month. Should be quite easy to winnow the false positives.
It would be nice if Linux would avoid using any of the BIOS. I wonder if that is possible.
Wires are required at times because they're "good funds" faster - ACH may take up to 6 days to clear in bad cases.

Also, wires can't be reversed (generally). If that's a good or a bad thing is dependent on the transaction and transactors.
I've noticed the opposite.

More people are starting to realize that FastCGI is one of the keys to good and consistent performance (as much as PHP will allow, anyway) and are recognizing that mod_php for the disaster that it is.

So now more and more popular environments support it - cPanel gained native PHP-FPM support, and commercial shared web hosts are mostly using Litespeed (drop-in replacement for Apache httpd that is evented and invented its own FCGI-like called "LSAPI").

Not sure if I totally agree with mod_php being more efficient for a greedy host either - attaching the PHP runtime to the threaded/forked httpd request handler is very expensive.

You can set the per-pool minimum worker size to 0 with FCGI with a short keepalive, which allows you to keep a low average per-tenant memory footprint, but better performance when many requests arrive at once. That's also basically what Litespeed does.
DRM and watermarking of e-books should be banned. Copyright should be abolished.
I wish I had this info from your exp of solving for my Aunt as she was or is having complications from lead poisoning from paint that artists use 20 years ago...glad you found a solution that seems to work
Apple warranty fraud is a great way to make money. I know of a guy who between 2008 and 2010 would purchase used iPod lots from Costco Electronic Hardware Services, refurbish the water damage indicator in the headphone jack and dock, and then try to return the iPod to one of the few Apple stores in the Seattle area. The refurbishing method would consist of cutting tiny strips of white wax paper, applying a little adhesive, and then sliding the paper flush down the hole. When Apple caught onto this guys method, he would later take the whole headphone assembly apart by using a pen knife to lift the plastic around the headphones, pulling the jack out, and using whiteout to cover the other end.

I went to the Apple store with this guy and felt ashamed just being around him as he dropped off a dozen water damaged iPod Nanos, each with an appointment, telling the guy that they were from guys in Iraq, as if that were to add some emotional weight to getting new ones.

Nearly a decade later I found out the guy was running the same scam with the iPhone SE by using reassembled water damaged phones or dummy phones from China. I am guessing he didn't get caught because the scale of his operation were a few at a time, maybe a couple hundred in a year, but not thousands over a year.

Now that I think about it, I had let him use my Apple account for appointments and claims, and ever since then, I have always had a bad time working with the genius bar over things that I bring in.
You assume the drummer was trying to go somewhere such that someone could block his path.

But he was exactly where he wanted, in this kid's face trying to provoke him. And the kid just smirked, earning great hatred and hostility from people who don't think there's any place for a smile in this cold, brutal world.
I believe the initial argument is that "pivoting" of the players is inevitable, due to the relatively short shelf-life of a video game's popularity. Whereas a professional athlete in traditional sports can typically play one sport from childhood till retirement (be it 20, 30, 40, or 50), an e-sport professional may have to switch games after 3 years, and every 3 years, to remain relevant.
A lot of these decisions can be made with a bit of "back of the envelope calculations"; playing with orders of magnitudes based on latency times:

Honestly as far as debugging your own skeleton goes I'd skip the 3D print part cause (1) its expensive and (2) you wanna minimise the number of steps between your skeleton and the product you use to debug.

Every one of the steps introduces heaps of error, there's error in the imaging resolution and voxeling, tooons of error in the segmentation process - no matter how good you are at it and a good full-body segmentation can take thousands of hours even by a team of anatomists, and then 3D printing with a commercial printer would introduce even more error.

I'd say a well-segmented digital model of your skeleton would be more than enough to figure out obvious issues :)
At the moment it seems Berliners aren’t too keen on newcomers and instead of ensuring cheap rents by ensuring there are enough units, they’re agitating and regulating in a way that will ensure continued scarcity, and then to fix costs they’re pushing ideas like rent control and nationalization. Which will in effect result in a kind of rationing of units, so newcomers be damned.

It’s also remarkable given the history of nationalization and land reform to which Berlin had a front row seat.
Honestly, most people don't buy cars that way. They buy a new one when their current car has entirely reached end of life. Either they get into an accident that totals the car, or something breaks that fixing it would be financially not worth it. Most people don't have the luxury of waiting years for a new car.
Nothing of value... etc etc.

Honestly, FR was a better social network that facebook killed by nature of being the behemoth it is.
Because of the frequency I see undecipherable strings like this in actual Perl code, I don't like Perl the programming language. However, I love Perl the project. Take a look at the config file for Perl and how many systems and architectures it accommodates: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/blob/blead/Configure

It's clearly such an incredible labor of love by Larry Wall et al. that I'm sad for them it isn't more popular. Just a mammoth amount of work by nice, passionate people.

In my world (bioinformatics), it was initially the go-to language. Even today I very occasionally run across something using BioPerl, requiring me to stumble through CPAN again. I get pretty nostalgic thinking about it.
That would be a fascinating idea for sci-fi! The inhabitants of two distant worlds would be able to see each other's future but not their own.
An ideal can be aspired to, while the reality for the vast majority of couples can still be quite messy.

More importantly, please state your disagreeing opinion without the condescending personal attack smacked on.
Thanks. I never used that feature, nor I ever heard of anyone using it. IMO there should be some configuration option to turn that feature off, which will allow to run all processes as a designated user. Or, if those users could be enumerated at startup, it could spawn one process for each user.

Regarding the Boston rally and the south Asian candidate: you're talking about Shiva Ayyadurai, the guy who (in my understanding of reports, which could be erroneous) sues people who contradict his claim of having invented electronic mail, has (to my understanding, which could be flawed) appeared on white supremacist podcasts, and used (as I understand it, based on reports) a caricature of himself as Pepe the Frog in his campaign pins? Who appeared (I have read in sources) in a video with a Charlottesville alt-righter and "blessed" a statue of "kek"? That's the basis of your claim that the media got this story wrong?

Help me understand why you were even paying attention to this drama? Do you really find Shiva Ayyadurai to be a sympathetic figure? I assume no, right?
Oh come on, it is not just developers but non technical higher ups also read some articles and now I have to come up with something that has "Micro-services, Docker, Blockchain, AI" in name to get budget for simple web api. Hell it does not even matter if we actually do it that way, just have to fill in buzzword bingo correctly and you win budget money.
Here in Germany those doctors that offer it have significant experience with DMPS injections though. After my own experiences, I'd say that for many people - and I dare go beyond my experiences based on the experiences of those said doctors, which I know because my own doc, as a researcher, is in a good position to see them, and also is one of those offering courses for other doctors - DMPS injections seem to work pretty well at least for the hard initial part.

For example, there is a pattern that at first levels measured an hour after injection (DMPS is quickly excreted, mostly through kidneys) after the first couple of injections drop, but then suddenly jump up. That seems to be a sign that now the body starts its own "detox", which seems to have been overwhelmed and now, through the DMPS injections freed again. I had exactly this, after the fourth or fifth injection my values tripled after having decreased linearly, and my body became very "active" (including that thyroid, see my initial post).

I also had areas of jaw bone that were severely broken - a subcutaneous needle for buccal mucosa injection penetrated deep into the bone in several places, a very, very bad sign (you cannot penetrate bone with a small needle, not unless it's already severely disintegrating). My doctor injected DMPS right there, not deliberately breaking into bone, only where the needle easily penetrated on its own, with very little pressure. That started a lot of activity in my jaw bones, and after a year he could no longer penetrate the bone. My jaw bone issues, some of them existing for decades, continued to diminish and have now almost completely disappeared (and the rest will be gone too in time). All thanks to DMPS injections.

Opinion of those doctors here doing research and writing the books is that DMPS injections are orders of magnitude faster. From my experience I would agree. I still did (and do) DMPS injections, very infrequently, and there's a lot more happening all at once compared to low-dose DMSA. The method is heavily used here and experiences are good. Those doctors using it communicate quite a bit. I think if they saw danger they would have noticed by now. The method has been in use for decades now. Max Daunderer, a clinical toxicologist, came up with it originally during years of practice and that's the reason this is being used here so much.

Even more: During the harder years sometimes I ran into a road block with DMSA and Cutler. Then taking a DMPS injection quickly removed the symptoms and cleared the way to go back to DMSA and Cutler.
Why Elon Musk is an increasingly bad choice to run Tesla
Yep. I worked at a company that had to migrate to 64-bit IDs. This was with MySQL 5.0 on servers with HDs, not SSD. Some of those "alter table" commands took all night!
Even if you could reverse the momentum of all particles, that wouldn't be enough because T-symmetry can be violated.
I think it's equivalent to something like

Illegal::division(by::zero(at/tmp/quine . pl::line(1.)))
Zelle has the following limits: https://www.mybanktracker.com/checking/faq/zelle-pay-limits-...

If you're a business, I think you can get up to a $100k/mo limit - not enough to run most firms.
Perhaps a beeping red indicator light/sound asking the pilot if he needs to override MCAS rather than a silent correction.
Cloud providers have generous free tiers, so many personal projects pay $0. However, I'm in the same boat. I'd rather pay $20/month to DO and risk my site going down in a DDoS attack than having a REST endpoint basically tied to my credit card and hoping Amazon blocks all the malicious traffic.
I assume the kid wanted the confrontation just as much, hence the smirk and refusal to make a hole for the guy to walk through. Even if it is exactly what the old man wanted, the kid is not blameless.
> I actually think it's incredibly insulting when people assume that engineers are choosing frameworks just for their resume

I don't find it insulting at all. Reality is that many, if not most, recruiters are looking for candidates that have experience in whatever technologies are hot at the time. Expertise in a sought after technology can be worth tens of thousands of dollars extra in annual compensation. It's natural that some people will try to use that technology to further their career if possible. And I think to a degree, a lot of people base their job decisions on what they'll get to work on. 'Is it a stack that is in demand and growing?' 'Is it a stack that might be difficult to learn but pays really well?'

Now the sensible thing to do is to not shoehorn in some tech if it doesn't make sense for a given application. And beyond that, the a big reason people are tempted to chase the shiny new object is because the IT recruiting process is broken.

I just see it as people trying to do the best they can for their career, usually there's no malice involved.
> One thing that I've wondered though as I've read more about MCAS. MCAS can't kick in till the flaps are fully retracted. Usually when something goes wrong in response to an action, the response is to undo the action. Why isn't the procedure or even the pilot instinct to re-extend the flaps when the nose down occurs just after having retracting the flaps?

When the two AoA sensors began to disagree during takeoff, the left and right side airspeeds started disagreeing as a result. That leads the pilots to execute the Unreliable airspeed indicator checklist memory items, which include levelling off for troubleshooting and leaving the flaps in their current configuration (retracted), and to keep thrust high to avoid stalling due to the unreliable airspeed indicators.

It's precisely at this point that MCAS now kicks in and starts nosing them down. Extending flaps will cut it back out but: 1) they're now instinctually fighting the stabilizer with elevators to stay out a nose dive, 2) the checklist they were running when this started says not to extend flaps, 3) the Boeing/FAA directive tells them to hit the STAB CUTOUT, so they do that, but 4) the elevator/stabilizer fight + the high speed from the thrust being set to climb due to the checklist they were running when this started results in so much force on the manual stabilizer crank that the co-pilot can't turn it by hand and now they're so engaged in this stabilizer fight and trying to get the plane trimmed for landing that the flaps are the last thing on their mind, and the Boeing/FAA directive never instructed them to try re-extending them, airspeed disagree be damned. They're completely out of the manual and FAA/Boeing directive at this point. Nothing covers this (anymore, 30 year manuals would have had a procedure to ease the forces on the wheel here).

So lacking any other means of trimming for landing, they turn the electronic stabilizers back on, and trim electronically, which works...but they don't cut it again within 5 seconds (the FAA/Boeing directive didn't really spell out how crucial this timing is, or even consider that manual trim would have been made impossible by everything else going on), and the MCAS runs again, and the dive becomes fatal.
When We Say 70 Percent, It Means 70 Percent
On second thought. The man who coined the term seems like he's got some uhmm... issues.

What's an "iPod lot"? I've never heard this terminology before.
Art is Perl.
It's amazing we do any business with China (or any country not a strong proponent of western values) and in this case it's Foxconn. The makers of: BlackBerry, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Kindle, Nintendo 3DS, Nokia devices, Xiaomi devices, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and the TR4 CPU socket on some motherboards. Just curious if you actively shun anyone who uses these products?
Perl gives you as much rope as you want to hang yourself. If you can develop a style, and try to avoid being too clever, it can be just as readable as any other language.
