>My point is that is that it is appropriate to call out Boeing for their attempt at deflecting blame.

Sure, but that doesn't mean going the other way and deflecting blame from Lion Air and the pilots.

>The pilots apparently did not take an action that _may_ have saved the plane (we now know it may not have).

Disabling electric trim would have absolutely saved the Lion Air flight just like it did when the same issue cropped up on the previous flight. Some speculated (which appears to be incorrect) that the Ethiopian Air flight was in a situation that they couldn't recover from, but the Lion Air flight was not in that situation.

The Lion Air pilots identified that the trim was incorrect and reset it at least 20 times. It's fair to fault them for not coming to the conclusion that the electric trim system was malfunctioning and that they should disable it.

We're way deep into a thread now, but it's an important problem.

I would very seriously argue that someone who does not write clearly in their native language has not reasoned clearly enough about what they are trying to express.

They may experience, feel, believe, express, or desire, but without the language, they have not reasoned about it with clarity. What's more, they are relying on something other than reason to prevail. It's analogous to the "you only know something as well as you can teach it," or Feynman's "explain it to a child," learning technique.

Regarding the apostrophe, it's a fine catch and I would ask whether the effort the writer made was commensurate with their intended purpose.
My experience is that you start out very productive not being weighed down by having to satisfy the type checker... but programs tend to grow over time and you end up regretting it. When you have a medium to large codebase in a dynamically typed language it gets to be more of a hindrance than a help.
How is that the same? The BBC article doesn't contain even 20% of the information as the full report (including multiple charts).

Ever hear of text and email?
ACH is not a service directly exposed to consumers. Instead it is the backend for a lot of other services. It backs direct deposit, paying with "electronic cheque", and most interbank-bank consumer transfers, broker-to-bank transfers, and even many service-to-consumer transfers. For example, when you withdraw money from paypal in the US, it would normally be via an ACH transfer to your bank account.

ACH transfers are not same day by default, and definitely not near-instant. However some of the consumer visible services offer immediate delivery, while still using normal "slow" ACH in the backend. Typically this is done via another network that verifies that the funds are available, and that the ACH transaction has been submitted. If both are verified, the receiving institution can be fairly confident they will get the money, and will make it available immediately.

For more immediate and irrevocable transfers, wire transfers are used. The Fedwire system for example, allows banks to directly transfer funds from their Federal Reserve deposits to each other. The sending bank ensures that the sender has the available money and debits it, while the receiver bank gets notice from the federal reserve that the transfer is complete and credits the receiver account. Obviously the banks can also use this system to directly settle any debt that they owe to the other bank, since federal reserve balances are legally equivalent to cash in the vault.

The US does not have any system quite like the UK's faster payments system. In the US there is basically an unwritten rule that no consumer should ever actually see the account number of a company or other consumer except when printed on a physical paper check.

So the closest we've gotten to the faster payments system is the Zelle payment network, which unlike Paypal or Venmo is a service offer directly by the bank, but abstracts away account numbers by using phone number or email addresses. Zelle does offer immediate settlement from the consumer's perspective. This system is far from universally implemented right now, and still only works for consumer to consumer payments.

For bank's billpay services, they end up using ACH if they have an agreement with the biller, or otherwise create and mail a physical paper check!

Basically the US payments systems are still stuck back in the 1990s.
Oops. My mistake. Fixed. Thanks!

As I understand it, the distribution was decided when the earth was still hot.

I don't disagree that they're great cars (I tried very hard to find and purchase a b class), but the reporting I linked suggests strongly that both Daimler and Toyota intended to continue the partnership past just the CARB complaince models but ultimately changed their minds. This was not a limited partnership that was always ended to end at 2600 models.

> I see nothing about how this driver doesn't have any other functions.

Obviously, you didn't look at it.

This is the irony of it all. There is nothing simple about writing a device driver to do what literally three lines of code in userland registering a service could have achieved. It is the furthest thing from a rushed design you could possibly do; it is taking the wrong turn 10 times and incurring exponential costs each time. That is why it's called a backdoor or malicious; it demonstrates unique niche knowledge in things that are the furthest imaginable distance from the shitty .NET amalgamation that their actual PC manager software is.

As I understand it, lambda calculus is strictly functional. I also think the relationship between s-expressions and lambda calculus is tenuous at best. If anything, it's s-expressions and lambda calculus that are orthogonal. You could use s-expressions as your notation for lambda calculus, but you could just as well not.
This does not mean separate processes, it simply spawns one "VM" per thread. Lobster VMs are pretty light weight (just a self contained object that has everything for a program to run). The advantage is that everything inside one VM can be single threaded, down to memory allocator. The threads then communicate by sending each other lobster values, similar to a "tuple space". I personally think this explicit communication style of concurrency is safer and easier to use than shared memory concurrency.

As for the lifetime analysis, see some sibling comments: I need to do a good write-up of the algorithm. I wasn't anticipating this HN post :)
Well, yeah. And "fact checking" won't fix that.

Interesting you mention libel. Libel law, of course, is a tremendous motivation to not posting actual lies in journalism. And courts are more flexible than "fact checking".

I agree with the general spirit of what you're stating, but the fact of the matter is that the Chinese government has proven conclusively that its vision of the future is not one that incorporates a free flow of information or the preservation of individual rights; the Chinese government as an entity is not a viable partner in the task of building the society of free information you envision - it is an obstacle standing in the way. Unfortunately, the Chinese government has chosen to use its economic prosperity to brutally subjugate ethnic minorities and construct an authoritarian nightmare that fully realizes Orwell's visions of state rule [1].

Every bit of available data indicates that the Chinese government would censor you and everyone you know if it had the ability to do so; the ruling party have demonstrated their willingness to violently destroy any person, group, or ideology that they disapprove of. Any other assessment of the situation is, at best, naive to the point of being dangerous. The twentieth century (not to mention the past ten years) has taught us that democracy is a fragile thing; it is extremely important that western citizens be vigilant and open-eyed when assessing who to deal with in educational, political, and business theaters.

You know every single error every framework function can call? Every single error in your entire code base? What about tomorrow when Bob changes some code?

> If function a calls function b, and function b throws errors x y and z, why is it I cannot check for x y and z in function a?

How often do you have a single function in your call stack? Do you also handle/swallow every error in every function or do you propagate those errors? So function q throws errors it was called by function p that throws and by the time you get back to a the list is a lot longer than x, y, z.

Formal verification is a red herring.

I know my software either handles all the errors that it can or stops processing and informs someone. Error types don't remove complexity or make humans better at error handling.

It reminds me of a personal web site I built recently. I am climbing the 4000 footers of New Hampshire with my wife. It's a big challenge, to climb almost 50 of some of the biggest mountains east of the Mississippi, and a ton of fun for a weekend warrior couple.

We've been putting information into a spreadsheet to track our progress, and I decided it'd be fun to make a web site, where you can see the mountains we've done, the ones we haven't done, and see our trip reports and photos. I started queuing up a database and thinking about a UI to enter the hike data into, but then I realized: why not just use our google spreadsheet as the database, directly?

I did some research and you can set up a google sheet to be publicly available as a CSV. So when you access my web site, it simply downloads the CSV at that public URL, parses it, and uses it to power menus and individual hike report pages. When we finish another hike, we simply add another row (like we always had!), and the web site gets a new page made almost instantly. The code doesn't even authenticate with Google, since the data is public, and the whole thing runs pretty well!
I may be remembering wrong, but I recall an intranet site at my school using some ActiveX and DHTML trickery to get spreadsheets for school events showing in the browser (IE of course). The fact that this is now possible on the Internet with no gotchas is exciting.
Gather 'round, young 'uns: the 1998-vintage Powerbook G3 "PDQ" officially supported only 192 MB of RAM. Unofficially it was possible, if you bought the right DIMMs, to upgrade it to 512 MB. Which I did, just for laughs. (It was also possible, using XPostFacto, to upgrade it past the official OS X 10.2.8. maximum to 10.4.11. But it was so slow it was practically unusable.)

MRI may work... I think there's a skeletal MRI. That will be extremely expensive. CT scan probably would work, but I don't think they'll let you dose yourself with that many X-Rays for fun. Most of these scanners give you voxel data, which you can then threshold some way and generate a water-tight surface which can be turned into an STL and 3D printed

The best 3D printer probably uses a stereolithography process. They give the highest detail at the expense of some mechanical properties. An objet might work well, too.

Sadly this "platform to open source factchecking" is not itself open source, as the site's source code is not available and the user content license restricts commercial use (see point 3 https://sourcedfact.com/terms_of_service and https://blog.okfn.org/2010/06/24/why-share-alike-licenses-ar...)
A kind of off topic question: in that video you can see that not only is Katie breathing every 2 strokes, but her stroke timing is "staggered" - 2 strokes, pause, 2 strokes, pause - like a heartbeat. I think Phelps does the same thing. Is this just a style thing or is it actually faster?
This has been just about my exact conclusion. I've just been checking things off as the evidence rolls in.
I disagree. Whether they were harassing is a matter of opinion. Whether there was a confrontation is a matter of fact, confirmed by the video and photos.

If you want to claim the "narrative", you need a link to an actual article with actual quotes. That's how fact-checking works, and your response is failing it badly.
> Zero is an under statement, but relative to the $4B Ford spends for example, Tesla's $70M advertising costs are tiny. You could also say that about the number of cars Tesla has sold too.

Yeah, from the numbers I can find, Tesla sold around 255,000 cars in 2018, Ford sold around 6 million. While I'm not sure what time period those advertising figures are, per car sold in 2018 they aren't wildly in different leagues; Tesla's are lower, but presumably marketing has diminishing marginal returns.
When you start working with someone day to day you can very quickly find out if they are good or not. You don't have to fully get them up to speed and have them learn all of the domain knowledge of your company. Start small and evaluate quickly. Certainly you can learn more when they start working than you can in the interview process.

This is simply not true. Everyone in the US knows about Harvard, Yale, MIT, etc. They are culturally significant institutions. So much so that people use "MIT" as a stand in for "excellence". "MIT of X".

This is actually a very good example of press failure. But also possibly one which shows how difficult it would actually be for "open source" fact checking based on consensus voting to pick up blatant lies. Relotius got away with his spiel for a long time and won awards because none of the people he claimed to have interviewed read his articles (especially not the people who didn't actually exist!). It's also reasonable to imagine that Relotius wouldn't have volunteered to put his stories on a fact checking platform, but more importantly even if somebody else did, very few online volunteers would have been in a position to actually validate them. Most of the stuff he made up was personal details about individual ordinary people, and even the trivially falsified stuff like a town he visited not being surrounded by forest and not having a town sign emblazoned with "Welcome to Fergus Falls, home of damn good folks" isn't the sort of stuff fact checkers like to get their teeth into. And the latter would be the sort of thing you'd want to establish by asking one person who lived there, not getting a consensus of netizens.
There are a few interesting hacks you can do, the calls are slow to an individual cell (I think like 50-100ms). If you need arbitrary cells, you can use a sheet formula to put the desired result in a single cell.

For example I had a sheet that had hundreds of columns that the headers would change over time - instead of reading through each cell, I just used CONCATENATE(), read a single cell then split it in my program after pulling it.

Maybe you could rephrase it to "Don't make estimates before work is well underway". The main problem with estimates is that they are usually just wild guesses and pretty useless. But once you've got going on something, have had time to think it through and test your ideas, you can usually give at least a very rough estimate at that point.
You can just create a view for each table with all other useful tables joined and query that.

It would indeed be nice to do that automatically based on foreign keys; I suppose one could write a PostgreSQL extension for that (or maybe one exists?).

Of course you still need the ability to perform joins that are not implied by the database structure.
Making the MTA suck less sounds like a good alternative.

I'm not really an expert but my understanding is that the stabilizer will always out-muscle the elevator due to the physics of their respective positions on the aircraft.

In yet another change in the MAX series, there used to be what was called an aft column cutout switch which did more or less what it sounds like: engage when the stick was pulled back, cutting out autopilot commands to the stabilizer, so that it never attempted to outmuscle the pilot's input commands to the elevator.

This was removed in the MAX. Possibly this was to meet certification requirements: if the MCAS was needed to push down on the nose to meet the requirement that "During the approach to the stall, the longitudinal control pull force should increase continuously as speed is reduced from the trimmed speed to the onset of stall warning." If the MAX tends to pitch nose up at a certain point, the MCAS is intended to create a counter force against the pilots commands as it approaches that, rather than have the pilot pulling back at some point suddenly buck the nose upwards, then the MCAS needs to be active when the pilot is pulling back on the stick.

But it does argue that a LOT more thought needed to go into MCAS failure modes if it was necessary for it not to be cut out when the pilot is operating elevators.
