Few if any non-military aircraft are aerodynamically unstable. No airliner is. Take any airliner, knock out all its control systems, and it will continue to fly.

I think you all must have a different relationship with your government in Canada than US citizens do.

None of these agencies are "on my own team". They are all adversaries. I feel far more threatened by US government hacking precisely because I live inside US jurisdiction. If we were to have a difference of opinions, and they were to snoop around in my data and decide they didn't like what they found, well, I'm sitting right here; they could easily ruin my life.

What are the Koreans or the Russians or anyone else going to do to me? They're an ocean away and I pose no conceivable threat to them. Harassing me would be expensive and pointless; they're not going to bother.
It is a lifestyle I'm forcing on my kids, and that's intentional. Kids don't always know what's good for them, and confuse wants and needs. It's a parent's job to create a safe and healthy environment where their kids can grow and thrive. We used to live the kind of life where video games and TV were "bonding experiences" and it just created all sorts of problems inside them. With this lifestyle, I see those problems vanishing one by one. And they all see it too and are happier now.
That's the gist of this issue.

>This is also why GMail, YouTube, Search, GCP, Android, and others aren’t going anywhere. They’re making money, they’re core to the business, and there’s plenty of opportunity to work on them and get promoted. They all also share one thing in common: deep down they’re frontends for search or advertising (GCP and Apps are an exception because they make money on their own). Measuring and proving impact on search numbers is a well-known promo narrative at Google, so those products are a safe bet for employees and users. Streaming game services, not so much.

This, right here is the key, and what I think most people miss, including the original article. Hell, I missed it myself for a long time: Google is not a platform company as the original article asserts. They are an advertising company. That is Google's bread and butter, and has been since day one. The products and platforms that stick around do so because they are or become successful funnels or front ends for advertising.

As much as the tech culture of the Internet loves to bitch about advertising (myself included), unto itself, it is not a solely an evil thing. Oh, it absolutely can be turned to evil ends; see any of a myriad complaints about Facebook. However, I think the pairing of ads with search has been damn useful in a way that balances with the potential for evil. As an example, when I'm searching for specific lubricating grease for my bicycle's bearings, I very much appreciate seeing an ad for a vendor who's willing to sell me a single tube thereof, instead of having only the web search listings of vendors who require a minimum order size of 1 shipping pallet. Google did right paring advertising with search. To use a 'corporate bullshit' word, Search and ads synergize well.

The froth of Google's other products and platforms makes more sense when looked at in that light. A company that sits still will eventually get passed by someone else who correctly sensed changes in the market and business environment, and thus eventually die. So of course Google is going to be trying to come up with all manner of things that leverage the Internet and their massive infrastructure; one of those may well be the next big thing that funnels more money in to advertising. No small part of this is that Google employs a great many nerds like you and I, people who have no trouble inventing cool new things you can do on the Internet. But sadly, a great many of those cool things don't fit well with Google's advertising-based business model, as evidenced by the constant product froth.
My issue with Notion is just picky little things that make it not fun to use. It looks great, is intuitive to me, and seems pretty powerful, so I want to like it. But, I hate having to be emailed a log-in code. Everytime it happens I think "oh yeah, this is why I never use Notion". I don't like that the desktop and mobile apps are just wrappers for the webview. As a user I feel like I have no control over anything. At least with Evernote and OneNote, I can literally see my database on my computer. With Notion, I am always aware that this is data on somebody else's servers. I've also had subpages completely disappear if I move their parent note, and I gave up on support and just accepted the loss.

The left-step one actually disguises a few important facts from the normal periodic table.

The obvious one is that He (which is only a full s shell) is far more similar to elements with full p shells than those with only a full s shell. In terms of bonding, the outermost s and p shell influences bonding the most. He, who has no p shell, acts far more like an element that has a full p shell than an element that only has a full s shell and an empty p shell because of the influence of the p shell on bonding, so you do want to stick He in the same group as Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn.

The other thing that is tricky is where the f block starts to integrate in the table. The f shell of electrons is far less involved in bonding and observable effects than the d shell is. Furthermore, even the basic electron configuration breaks down because the f and d blocks are so similar in energy. La and Ac both fill their first d electron before the f electron, and several actinides actually retain this single outermost d electron rather than dumping everything in the f block. There is some dispute as to whether or not you should put La/Ac in the d block, or Lu/Lr in the d block, or instead put the entire La-Lu/Ac-Lr block in that one-element hole (this is perhaps one of the reasons why people like using the short form a lot--you can be somewhat vague here).

Just this past weekend, I set out to finish a project [0] I'd started several years back using the Google+ API, hoping to wrap things up before they shut it down forever. Much to my chagrin, I found that they'd shuttered the API months in advance, effectively ruining any hopes I had of finishing.

After a swath of other shutdowns, this was the last straw for me.

[0]: project was "confluence", a stream aggregator designed for personal use. I'd accumulated > 40,000 followers on Google by writing long-form commentary on news, events, and technology, and wanted to merge all of that content into a self-hosted site that included my Twitter, Facebook, and other content: https://github.com/martindale/confluence
> one has to question why the pilots did not take this simple corrective action.

If that was the only issue, the plane would have not been grounded.

But it seems here on HN there's this persistent idea that it's just fine for the plane to start misbehaving and it's "only" a matter of the pilots fixing it.

Sure, why not, let's all run a cronjob that gets a random number, then beeps and wipes your computer every 1/100 times. But hey, it will beep and you'll have 1 second to fix it, sounds good, right?

Aerodynamically unstable aircraft cannot be flown purely by humans. They require a fly by wire system. The 737 is not fly by wire, thus we can pretty trivially conclude that the 737 is aerodynamically stable.
Or they try to not use those features but get sucked back into it, like I did the many times I tried exactly that. I wonder how many people there are who wanted to live a life like this but because such a phone doesn't exist, they keep getting pulled back in and have to abandon having a phone altogether.
Eventually, cosmic ray damage will even get the tardigrade.

> contaminant microbe would have to truly thrive in an extremely inhospitable Martian environment, survive spaceflight and decontamination, yet also be undetectable in the places on Earth where the spacecraft was constructed

To be fair, if those possibilities are true, they would also be revolutionary and should be considered (e.g., do they imply a mechanism that makes panspemria feasible?).

Likewise for an previously unknown mechanism of methane production - this itself would help us understand the origin of life. (This is one explanation, "geological" one, mentioned in the article.)

"Single celled microorganisms found to exist in conditions on Mars that mirror some of the conditions in which single celled microogranisms exist on Earth", however, seems to be a more boring one - if turns out not to be true, understanding why that happens to be the case, is also valuable.
Estimates range from 5% - 15% per year of people experiencing depression. It's a hard thing to measure since most people hide it.
Actually, the engines don't need to be on for the problematic behavior to manifest since the extra lift at high AoA is a direct result of the geometry of the wing+nacelle.
I think it makes sense to start small. Engineers opt into such an org. Pay dues. A pension is setup. Some leadership is voted in to run the org based on interest and bandwidth.

The union shines when it can do collective bargaining and ensure minimum salary benefits for certain roles. Certification could be offered for very specialized roles as subject matter experts join and build a curriculum.
There were a lot of them although Compuserve was at least one of the biggest. (It's the one I used.) There were also BIX, AOL, DELPHI, and Prodigy, and others that aren't popping to mind.

There were also a vast number of small BBSs ranging from a system in someone's bedroom to commercial--though still relatively small--operations, some of which became early local ISPs. At the time, one mostly preferred to make local calls because of the expense of long distance.

What did he expect? He ran up a $50k+ bill just for his own lawyer, all for a measly $4k.

Unlike many other countries which follow the so-called English Rule where losers routinely must pay their opponents legal costs, in the U.S. we follow the American Rule where each opponent normally pays their own costs unless there's exceptionally poor behavior by one side, such as bringing or defending a suit in bad faith. Without knowing more, I would assume that the contractor here is being punished for bad behavior--not for the original behavior, but for being intransigent after the fact.

Also, the fees are likely to come down as the numbers quoted seem to be what the lawyers are asking, not what the court has accepted as reasonable. The types of fees that can be assessed are quite limited, not the entirety of the costs born by the other side, so there's significant motivation to reclassify and exaggerate costs. It's the judge's job to sort this out.

This is, mind you, the exact reason why I tend to be averse to the notion that we should habitually make exceptions to things like freedom of speech/expression, freedom of religion, "states' rights", etc.; they always sound great when your party is the one in power, but when (not if) that changes, you've now handed your opposition the means to more heavily oppress you.
If you have Alfred, you can sort of do this with an extension I made: https://github.com/sballin/alfred-search-notes-app

The default search looks for folder names too, so searching "[folder name]" will bring up all the notes in that folder, and "[folder name] [note name]" will bring up the specific note in that folder, as of the latest commit a few minutes ago :)
Most vegans will say "do whatever you have to do to live" and want a reduction in the consumption of animal products and harm of animals wherever possible. They will, for example, take vaccinations and medical treatments that have been derived from animal products if there are no alternatives.

So, if a person has honestly tried everything and they absolutely need to eat some meat and fish to be healthy, then most won't have an issue with it. There will always be crazy internet kooks though.
Do you seriously want to incentivize productive behavior during people's work breaks? Because that doesn't sound to me like something you want to incentivize (risk of burnout etc.).

I use Chromium/Firefox and Widevine … sometimes works.
For example, Chromium recently broke Widevine support; this was the Gentoo thread about it at the time, IIRC: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1080874-start-0.html.

So, switched to Firefox. Firefox then also had it break on Debian/Gentoo: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1475260.

Chromium, and other FOSS browsers including Firefox, do support Widevine. It is a giant proprietary binary blob, yes, but there's support for it. (And yes, I wish everyone would adopt and obey the tenants of free software, but alas.)
My own "you'll never get another chance to do that to me again" was when I migrated an organisation from Microsoft Exchange to Google Mail and Apps. It was great with Outlook Connector for Gmail, then they killed it.

I will never take the risk of committing to a Google product in a professional setting ever again. It hurts the organisation, and it hurts me.
The internet was created in a different age. The kinds of abuses people are worrying about right now were barely even possible when the Internet was created. Now they're quite feasible using relatively inexpensive and well-known technology, and people who are eager to share the knowledge of how to do it have created all sorts of MOOCs and bootcamps and even accredited degree programs on the subject.
Crazy person trying to save everything on the Internet here (at least, a few sections of it.)

It was actually when the Trump administration basically gutted and removed the whole of the EPA's website that caused me to take notice. I realized that while my written notes from a decade ago were still around and usable, every digital note I'd made more than a year or two ago was gone.

Our knowledge culture has changed from memorizing facts to knowing how to get to facts. Information also no longer flows down from a "chosen few" who have the means to publish, but instead from everyone at just about all times.

Archiving is also no longer a horrifically complicated or expensive hobby. There's no reprinting books on archive paper or storing them in helium. Instead you can simply buy a stack of hard drives and start bulk storing data.

Since getting involved, I've come to realize that data goes offline frequently, with no warning - extensively due to bad copyright claims. I can't really fix the copyright process (at least, not very quickly), but I can help save the data and help make it available to others in meaningful formats.
Yeah, there is a taste of the No True Scotsman fallacy there, certainly.

That said, I've known and worked with a shedload on entrepreneurs over the decades, and I honestly can't remember a single one that was doing it purely for the money.

In my experience, people who are driven purely by money avoid starting businesses. They tend to invest in startups or get great-paying jobs in established businesses.

I think the reason is that starting a business is a high-risk activity that will consume pretty much all of your time and energy. You need to be driven by something more than just money in order to be willing to do that.

If you're just about money, there are much easier and lower-risk ways of going about doing that.
For some of us, it is.
I don't get this argument, or rather, I don't the apparent corollary that needing pclntab is somehow connected to not using a preprocessor.

I'm probably missing your point, since one certainly don't need a preprocessor for line numbers in logging statements. Unless the language - like C - actually implements the include/import mechanism through a preprocessor. In which case the need for the dependency becomes rather self evident.

Why JSON-that-resembles-HTML rather than whitelisted-subset-of-HTML? Seems to throw away a huge amount of tooling and force an extra step on anything that wants to render the content?

Although I guess I could render the JSON to HTML server-side and get the best of both worlds. Everything usually boils down to a question of caching something somewhere.
How much money do you think AWS loses still supporting old deprecated services like running EC2 instances outside of a VPC and SimpleDB?

All jet airliners with engines under the wings have an "off-center-of-gravity" thrust. They all want to pitch up when thrust is applied. The MAX, with the engines higher and more forward, actually has less of an issue with this. The issue with the MAX is that the large engine nacelles forward of the wing can produce their own aerodynamic lift at high angles of attack. This is what MCAS compensates for.
One of the peculiarities of telephone rates in those days was that it was very common for intra-state calls outside your local calling area (depending on your phone plan there was often a "free" local calling area and an extended region of some sort as I recall) to be more expensive than interstate calls.

ADDED: BTW, in the early eighties, long distance rates were starting to come down but they were still in the tens of cents per minute so something over a dollar/minute in today's currency.

That is a realistic outcome.

Then again, the way media companies are balkanizing the streaming space, this could become (again) a reality soon anyway.

I have a few points:

1. Why do you have to be so rude? Maybe this isn’t intentional, but your words are mocking and insulting. Do you actually think you could change someone’s mind spouting off like that? If so, you don’t understand humans. If not, that comment was a giant waste of time.

2. If the way you spoke to this person represents how you wish to conduct yourself, perhaps it would be wise to remove the ‘we’re hiring’ on your profile. I’m not looking, but if I was, I would avoid your company based on this comment.
How does Firefox accomplish it? They (appear) to download the module on-demand.
Right, I guess I'm asking what you mean by "open source users".

As far as I know, if you download a Firefox binary from firefox.org, you can use Widevine, and there's no source in that binary that's not open source, but the binary is signed in such a way that you can download the component. If you build Firefox on your own, Widevine won't work. Can you do the same thing with Metastream? Allow users of the Metastream binary from you to get Widevine, but not allow people who build it on their own to get the production EME codec? (I realize this is more frustrating for Metastream dev than Firefox dev because Metastream is primarily about playing videos, but it should still work.)

Or in other words, is Widevine permitting Firefox to do something they're not permitting you to do, or are you trying to be more open than Firefox?

(... That said, apparently Widevine works fine in e.g. Debian's build of Firefox? So what's different?)
