The report does not actually indicate which "manually" the pilots meant, with the switches or with the trim wheel. When the question came up they went and turned the electric trim system back on and appeared to test it (only trimmed 0.2 units). Honestly if I had just turned the thing back on I would have trimmed it all the way to where I want it.

The human interest aspect is the whole point of it. If there were no humans, there wouldn't even need to be a law about fox hunting, so if you take the human interest away, there is no issue.

I think part of my praise of this piece is because most modern issues lack the anthropological side to the conversation, when often it is the most important part. Policy makers (and that is everyone in a democracy) that only care about the "rightness" of a policy and do not get into the people's lives that are being affected by it tend to create poor solutions and only make the problem worse.

I love that this article goes beyond anthropology into conflict resolution. An arbitrator takes two warring parties and brings them together to be able to discuss their issues. While this author doesn't have an arbitration background, his bringing of the two parties together does what any good arbitrator do - cause each party to see the humanity and point of view of the other, and be able to "agree to disagree" without getting worked up. I don't know what else to say except that it's great journalism - it's great reporting on the complexity and maturity of modern human society.
While I agree with most of this, this can also lead to a kind of "analysis paralysis". I've seen a good number of "first order thinkers" succeed because they just plow through stuff, and when the indirect consequences appear that they didn't originally think about, they plow through that, too.

Pilots are often wrong about what their aircraft is doing. In fact, that's a big reason why they crash. So yes, the First Officer said that but that is not conclusive proof that they couldn't manually trim. He may have misinterpreted the question and tried the electric trim again. Or maybe he tried turning the wheel and didn't do it right. Or maybe he needed to try again. Or maybe he needed the pilots help. Or maybe the manual trim system was broken. There's any number of explanations for that statement.

Until someone sits down and calculates the torque needed to manually trim it's all just speculation.
Aren't all rentals in mountain view rent controlled?
I doubt that anyone frequently predicts emergent properties precisely, but I still think that thoughtfully considering them is beneficial. There is a line in "Clean Architecture" to the effect that every architectural decision is akin to a shot in pool: you aren't merely trying to sink the ball, you're also trying to line up the next shot. This is true of decisions generally, and I think it's infinitely easier to do if you're thinking of navigating complex, dynamic systems rather than simply imagining "I'll do A because A –> B."

Drones Become Pizza-to-the-Neighborhood (PTTN)
It's amazing how the politicians representing the people of the Bay Area don't possess egalitarian values. There's so much unused and undeveloped land available in the mountains yet the property is crazy expensive.
There is some truth to this. The future is impossible to predict. There is foolishness in failing to understand where predictions make sense and where they don't. We like to talk about "intelligence", but wisdom and the virtue of prudence are essential. Without the disciplining effect of the virtues, intelligence is thwarted. The degree and the kind of effort one puts into something is extremely important and requires a comprehension of the confluence of factors that are important to making the correct decision. This requires experience.

And as the saying goes, if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. But that isn't to say we shouldn't plans. This should not be taken as license for impulsive behavior and an irresponsible absense of forethought. But it should be understood that plans are often dependent on certain conditions holding, on the completeness of our knowledge, etc, thus requiring humility in the face of uncertainty and recognizing that plans must be adjusted or abandoned sometimes. There is no recipe for any of this and first principle are not enough.

Part of the problem is that model legislation has increasingly been viewed as a means of circumventing the negative consequences of resource-limited state legislatures. Writing legislation is a very time-intensive effort that relies heavily on expert staff. Staff budgets have stagnated or, in many cases, decreased. And they were never high to begin with. In most states, legislator pay itself is low[0] to begin with as well. Most states pay their legislators as if it's a part-time job, but when you consider the various demands on their time in addition to the need to find a way to support themselves financially as well, it's laughable to expect them to be able to compensate for staffing limitations. Assuming, of course, that they have the background to actually craft legislation themselves. Model legislation seemingly offers legislators a path out of the darkness.

But it's not just about writing the legislation; model legislation often comes as a sort of turnkey solution, offering analysis as well. And that's the particularly dangerous part. Because of their limited resources, state legislators have to rely more and more on the expertise of those providing the model legislation at all steps of the process rather than their own. It's not just about outsourcing the actual writing of a bill. How legislators understand model legislation and the potentially complex and nuanced consequences of it is being shaped by those who wrote it, and often have vested interests of their own.

It's not just a state problem. It's also prevalent at the federal level, where median pay for legislative staff has decreased significantly in recent decades and the number of staffers has stayed stagnant in the face of increased workloads.[1] Another source estimates that the percentage of "House personal staffers" based in DC has decreased from three-quarters in 1976 to half in 2005; the problem being that the legislative staffers re the ones working in DC. Committee staff have been especially hard hit.[2] So when someone comes in to lobby for a bill that they happen to have written out for you to consider, it's easy to fall back on the idea "well, they know their industry." Particularly because they so often don't have ready access to a comparable, independent knowledge base to help them.

There was an interesting article I read a week or two ago on the subject of legislative staffing woes, but I can't seem to find it at the moment. If I do, I'll reply with a link.

I see. So the idea of NULL is the idea of sentinel value. And to express the idea of sentinel value is to create a wrapper around the value and have the wrapper always check for sentinel by default. Is this interpretation correct?

So I guess the better question is how do you express the idea of skipping checking for Sentinel when the language always checks for sentinel?
1. You have to pay for those but the thinking goes that if you are at the complexity and scale of those problems you reach out to a TAM to sort them out for you (ie. $$$).

2. Give it time; this will evolve and it is still in its infancy. Like all things it is buggy in the beginning but as adoption hockey-sticks so too will the stability, documentation, etc.

3. Portability is traded for breadth of services and depth is gained through vendor lock-in and the one-size-fits-all package. Of your concerns I would say this one will be around for a long time or at least until a "conversion kit" is built to shoehorn all of your stuff into another provider allowing you to jump ship or test the waters elsewhere.

I am a veteran like you (20 years) and while you choose IaaS because you like the control most want to punt their problem to someone else and to pay for that.

If our goal is to get from LAX to JFK we could fly our own plane, charting our own course, looking up weather, doing engine checks, refueling, dealing with air traffic control. and we'll get there and be in full control the whole way. However most will pay to be shuttled in to a commercial airplane. Then of course there are some that are willing to pay more to have their own personal pilot get them there in a chartered aircraft where they are afforded a more tailored experience.

There are some really great pilots you can hire out there to do it all for you (or if you are in fact one yourself) but if the goal is to simply go from point A to point B in as little time as possible we don't have time to find, train, and rely on a single pilot or ourself to get there. We will take the hit and pay others to get us there.

That is what all this serverless non-sense is about if you ask me. The tradeoffs of simplicity and handing the busywork off to someone else is more enticing than the control we have in the process. Also, isn't it nice to be able to say, when you arrive late, that it was the airlines fault? :)
I'd like to do both, but the opportunity cost of even a weekend professional mba program is too much... bloomberg i can do from home.

i was thinking of getting the bloomberg terminal partly for my curiosity, partly for teaching my kids about trading and researching something outside of youtube and google. Since they are too young to go to business school anyway.

it seems like for the price of private k-12, college, professional schools, if you just buy some data subscriptions like bloomberg, wrds, lexisnexis and if they are self learners, it might prepare them to get more out of school later.
I have friends who travel to the e-sports events in Sydney when it comes to town, or get together to watch DoTA TI (online, why would you rely on TV channels for this?) with their gamer friends. It's very much online, and very much a social event.

Okay, I'm sorry you thought I said AWS was perfect and bug free. I didn't, however, say that. I said (implied, really) it's better than anything you could possibly home brew. Nothing you've said here changes that.

Further, didn't I say that it's trading one set of issues for another? Or at least, I explicitly agreed with that.

I feel like you didn't read what I wrote honestly, and kind of came in with your own agenda. All I ever said was that the issues you trade off are orchestration issues vs. operational issues, and operational issues are 10x harder than orchestration issues because you don't get to decide when to work on operational issues, you tend to have to deal with them when they happen.
There is no nice ripe epoisses anywhere in the world. If you do actually want cheese that smells like feet, perhaps as mosquito bait, you can get that in the USA.

A Corolla gets double the range on a tank of gas than a Tesla.

> If time is such an important factor on a long road trip, you should probably just be flying instead.

This is rather tone deaf. Not surprised. A car designed and priced for rich people, attracts rich people. What a luxury it must be for you to afford to fly. Plenty of people make road trips. Growing up all we did was drive, often times 15 hours, for vacation. Can't imagine stopping every 3 hours for a half hour to charge. That's 2 and a half hours lost out of our vacation. Then you have to make sure there is a place to charge at your actual destination...

Tesla certainly has the best build out, they're the disruptors - of course they're ahead. But the value isn't there yet, for me to switch from ICE. It's really expensive. Servicing is an absolute nightmare. Charging at home isn't always quick enough. The supercharger network is on interstates mainly - that gets you a lot of places, not all places.

You can continually nip at the edges and say "who really drives like that" or "who's really going to those places." That's beside the point - they're excuses. ICE is simply a better product right now. it has none of the downsides, except eco-friendliness. I mean, hell, you can get a solid Corolla for a fourth of the price of a Model 3. It's great on gas, and gas is cheap anyway.

If Tesla figures out its scaling issues and the market adds some competition and the product is there, I'll buy in. Just not ready to yet.

"Since the project fully complied with the city’s zoning code and met all the application requirements, City Attorney Jannie Quinn told council members Tuesday that it would be “very difficult” to “come up with a rationale to deny the project.”

Quinn also informed the council that placing a moratorium on the demolition of rent-controlled apartments could put the city in a legal predicament due to the state’s Ellis Act, which protects landlords who want to leave the rental market."
I have _more_ maintenance, _because_ of AWS. Most libraries/services reach some sort of a stable version where they are backwards compatible. AWS (and other big providers) changes libraries all the time and things break, then you have to figure out what they did instead of having a stable interface to work with.
MySQL's situation, as it has been for years, is:

1. Almost everyone uses InnoDB (or whatever the forks call it)

2. Customers who need to use other engines can do so if it makes sense for them

3. Tuning is basically always the same unless you're doing something extremely atypical (e.g. using TokuDB)

There's no fragmentation there in any real sense.
Generic associated types are equally expressive to higher-kinded types while being more straightforward to implement on top of Rust's existing syntax. Adding true higher-kinded types in the future is not out of the question, but you'd need to add new syntax to declare them, which represents a fair bit of complexity for something that may not be necessary.

There are also questions about ambiguities with respect to default parameters. If you have

struct Foo<A = i32>(A);

you can currently write `Foo` to refer to `Foo<i32>`, but what if you meant to refer to the higher-kinded type `Foo` itself? It could be determined based on context, but that would be somewhat confusing, and might not be possible in all situations (like when declaring type aliases, or if a way is ever added for a parameter to accept multiple kinds).

The N-minute radius around a destination is a lot smaller when you are walking to transit vs. driving. People who can afford to will spend to keep their door to door times low.

Yeah, you just demonstrated why AWS is keen on you having backups to your services on their platform. You failed to do that (follow their guidance) and suffered an outage because of it. How exactly is that AWS's fault?

MY point is that AWS is very solid, and while there are plenty of trade offs, to be sure, the tradeoff is "operational" vs. "orchestration", and operational doesn't let you decide when to work on it whereas orchestration does.

As an interesting aside, the n-th partial derivatives form an n-cube:

For m variables, there are m first orders, m^2 second orders, etc. and most proofs about, eg convexity, amount to a proof over that shape.

The reason that n-th order reasoning about an m-dimensional problem is difficult is that it requires reasoning using m^n objects.

If you figure we can remember about ten things intuitively, that’s just enough for three dimensions and two derivatives — enough to do motion analysis.

But it’s leagues away from being able to do the second order of a ten-dimensional problem intuitively.

Take a look at the chart of control column position deflections. They're jolting around like crazy at +10 to +15 aft starting immediately at the first big MCAS trim event through to the end of the recording. That's because the stabilizer mis-trim is exerting considerable force on the elevator. The captain wasn't calling for aid on the column for shits and giggles.

I'm not upset, I'm simply pointing out that AWS isn't the problem in any of these examples, it's the various commenter's lack of understanding about how to work in AWS that's caused these problems.
