People will not stop themselves when it comes to abusing and defiling nature.

This is true of the general populace and all of us. We might not be stealing dragons, but bit by bit each of us contribute negatively.

Eventually we will have to police one-another, be it through Government or through societal change and pressure.
Or you can generate pieces of code with non-embedded Python scripts at the earliest stage of make and inline them with the host language's preprocessor.

This way you'll have the same functionality but with standard tooling for every language. This means conventional debugging, static analysis, testing etc.

And no extra dependencies, too.

I've never seen anyone blame the crew, as it was recognized from the start that this was probably MCAS. I've seen, and personally believe, that a more experienced crew could have saved the flight, but that's different from calling this crew incompetent.

I wish the article was clearer on what procedures were followed that didn't work. Did the crew follow the runaway stab trim checklist? If so, then that's really bad for Boeing, but I can't find anything specific yet.

A major issue with this argument is that consensus does not mean right. Take the scientific consensus at one point in time and Earth is the center of the universe, take it at another time and leaded fuel is perfectly safe, at another time and we have phrenology as an accepted and influential science. Even for something much more recent, nearly all of top tier academia in the US was actively in support in involuntary government driven eugenics [1] until some low ranking German soldier and artist by the name of Adolf clearly demonstrated how mind-bogglingly idiotic an idea that was. As an interesting aside, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes famous proclamation legitimizing government driven eugenics, culminating with "The principle that sustains compulsory vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the Fallopian tubes." [2] has never actually been formally overturned. We simply dropped eugenics thanks to that eccentric German artist.

People, obviously including the world's foremost experts on any given topic, invariably form consensus around things that end up ultimately being completely wrong. Of course this does not suggest some sort of truth nihilism. There are of course true and false things, but in fields where there is still plenty of room for debate - trying to censor people because they do simply fall in line with a liminal "consensus" is one of the most completely regressive ideals imaginable.

For instance you critique the group for having experts who do not have backgrounds in e.g. psychology. Yet you are certainly aware of the psychology replication crisis. It started with the discovery that some 64% of psychology studies in leading journals could not be replicated! And unlike psychology studies, this discovery can and has been replicated. The replication rate in social psychology is at around 25%. And, again, these studies were from leading journals. Think about what this means. If you read about any study in psychology, or especially in social psychology, you'd generally be far more accurately informed if you assumed that was stated as statistically significant was, in fact, not. "Experts" with backgrounds in psychology, especially social psychology, are the last people you should turn to for anything - except for perhaps how to get bad science published. This is callous, but it's also completely true! The point I make with this is that appealing to some necessity of psychology backgrounds is really more about trying to silence or discredit 'outsider' voices, than an actually useful, let alone, necessary credential.

Something else I've started to wonder about is what the manouvering speed is on a 737.

I can't find a good reference but 280 knots is suggested as a turbulent air penetration speed which should be in the same ballpark

Applying full back elevator above this speed can bend the airplane (cyclic movements even more so).
An interesting question which I find that would take me too long to answer, the shortest answer that I can come up is that I’m writing this comment from a device called a smart-phone whose battery is not replaceable, meaning that in maximum two years or so it will be in a dumpster together with other thousands, even hundreds of thousands of similar smart-phones, with all the nice rare and toxical metals of which they are composed slowly making their way into the ground and into our water-sources. What I mean to say is that we ourselves as a species can be seen as being pretty smart from a certain point of view (we went to the Moon, we designed and currently make electronic devices that can fit in our pockets and with each we can have conversations with total strangers from half a world away) but at the same time we do our best in order to destroy the livable habitat from the unique planet we’ve managed to populate so far. As such, people like Teller are the perfect representatives of this side of ours as a species: smart but self-destructive.
> I do a lot of work with the rail industry in the UK (both heavy and light rail) - but the UK is much more passenger focussed.

Same in France - allocating freight capacity in a passenger-focused network is tricky. A paper about that (https://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-01317522/file/TH2015PES...) - in French but with abstract in English:

"Train timetabling on a rail network is a complex task. In Europe, this issue lies within a process for which the infrastructure manager has to consider competing uses – passenger and freight trains as well as maintenance work – and several users of a scarce resource, infrastructure capacity. The aim of this research is to better understand the way this process is organised and works on the French rail network. We have chosen to tackle this issue focusing on freight as an activity which has been opened up to competition since 2006 but has experienced structural difficulties since the 1980s. The various time aspects of the capacity allocation process are the key focus of our analysis. Our approach considers the perspectives of the infrastructure manager and of their customers, foremost among which are train operating companies. We highlight that freight occupies a unique place in this process which is based on a schedule resulting from both European regulations and the legacy of decisions taken at the national level. The issue of the quality of the train paths offered by the infrastructure manager is studied with a focus on the links between short and long term requirements with regard to the train running deadline. In spite of their diversity, we demontsrate that freight operators need flexibility and visibility. Finally, we analyse catalogue paths as a specific offer that aims to guarantee capacity for freight. The German method, through the neXt project, provides an alternative insight into this issue. Accommodating freight train paths into the timetable is essentially a necessary but delicate balance of interests : standardisation vs. customisation."
A part of me feels that social media companies deserve this. For years and years, whenever the topic of meaningful regulation comes up, Facebook has always lawyered up and side stepped the question. Time after time Mark Zuckerberg has appeared or refused to appear before the government, telling us they're sorry, they need to do more, it's a hard problem to solve and they're doing the best they can.

Now that the "evil" effects of social media have become painfully clear, frustrated governments around the world appear to be changing the law in hamfisted ways. The pendulum has swung in the other opposite extreme.

Perhaps now they'll start thinking about how they should be running their platforms. I don't feel any pity for the burden about to be dumped upon Facebook and Twitter. I believe freedom of speech will somehow prevail in the end, but it might take several painful years.

Maybe I don't understand the nuances here, but I don't see how Cog code isn't hygenic: the Python namespace it operates in has nothing to do with the namespaces in the containing file as a whole. There's no way for names chosen by the Cog -writer to conflict with the names in the larger file.

Let's not pretend that you can consider a persons actions completely in isolation. Your opinions and beliefs on other subjects cast a light on how you think critically as an individual.

And with no hint, both parties have to spontaneously use the service with the same hashtag. Not saying there's absolutely no possibility of harshly rejecting people, but the point of the service is to give a little more breathing room to their pride/egos.
Banish missing glyphs with Unifont
Just recently I learned that Komodo dragons have the unusual feature of being able to reproduce via parthenogenesis. This means that a female dragon, can become pregnant spontaneously!

Apparently the cell which grows into the baby dragon is formed from an ordinary egg cell that duplicates each of its chromosomes rather than having a second set of chromosomes provided by a male sperm cell, as in sexual reproduction. It turns out that the Komodo sex determination system means the offspring are always male.

I believe this means that the offspring are thus completely homozygous, though not clones of their mother because the egg chromosomes were formed by the usual meiosis. Even more amazing (I think) is that there are apparently some boa snakes which can also reproduce via parthenogenesis but whose sex determination system makes all offspring female. IIUC, if any of these daughters were also to reproduce via parthenogenesis, then their offspring would indeed be clones of their mothers. A sort of genetic end point.
Implementor of similar systems here.

1. It's possible, but you have to understand that a pilot, however bright he may be, cannot be overloaded with too many modes of operations. You can't always have Neil Armstrong driving...

2. We have to wait for the conclusions of the investigation. There is obviously still a lot of question marks about what /should/ occur and what /did/ occur, so it's difficult to speculate (at least for me) on what a correct implementation of the system should have been.

3. Each sensor has pros and cons. For an AOA, I am not an expert, but well, it's supposed to measure the lift under the wing, so I don't see how you can avoid being outdoor to get a direct measure of this quantity. I believe someone on HN more expert could give more insight here, but my experience when you try to use indirect sensors is that it générâtes the need for /more/ computational complexity to deduce the intended measure from indirect sources.

For your last comment, I would complement that auto pilots malfunction due to sensors going bad /unnoticed/.

We should take "going bad" very broadly: either the sensor is broken, or it is not picking up something that it should because, well, the designer just did not think about it.

Basic income means that people who are willing to work will pay probably higher taxes. I believe that will be easier for some people who do not earn much to just stay home with basic income. Then less people will be economically active (who will do low wage jobs ?) and taxes will need to go higher etc... It's economical spiral of death for whole nation.

There are some things to do, but not if you want to trust random third parties. In which case nothing will save you, because not only you have to trust them, you also have to trust they are not compromised and have impenetrable security.

So, not trusting third parties is the only way and with that language level capability based security can help. Although this is pretty far from common programming languages where any function can access any file, environment variable, global variable, constant, socket, etc.
A bad AoA probe wouldn't trigger IAS disagreement alert ( that is fed from the separate pitot tubes ) but could activate the corresponding stick-shaker which may make the pilots consider the possibility of IAS uncertainty.

Just a minor quibble.

Also increasing airspeed isn't a panacea for avoiding a stall, it is entirely possible to enter a high-speed stall if the AoA isn't managed. And in fact as mentioned speed can make recovery more difficult due to airloads on non-FBW aircaft.

The goal is to provide a sustainable and desirable quality of life for all, and economic activity is one or part of a way to achieve it. I don’t think people will just stop wanting to go out to restaurants, or skiing, or whatever other activities they want to do. And if they want to do them, they will have to work. And especially to attract a quality mate.

Unit tests demonstrate correctness. That's another useful tool in the tool box. But proofs are more than just that.

Imagine trying to unit test all possible cases of Pythagorean theorem being correct vs a single proof in a few lines of descriptive logic.
I don't think speculating about the possibility of an emergency solution or escape route that is outside the reach of errors made in software/hardware/you name it is pointless. Speculating about this particular idea could be, if the idea doesn't expand to other directions.

Why can't UBI be attempted on a local scale first?

We have state and local governments for a reason. Something as risky and expensive as UBI, if it is going to be implemented, should be implemented gradually with proper testing, feedback, and adaptation.
It is very hard to interpret tone on the internet. I, for one, did not find the tone to be disingenuous. Perhaps it is best to cut the author some slack, since we can never know for sure what he or she intended.
I think in this case it probably wasn't meant to be racism on Boeing's part--Boeing just has a history of immediately blaming the pilots for every crash.

Latent racism may have helped some people believe it was the pilots' fault, but I wouldn't ascribe the actual racism part to Boeing in this case.

> > Enum.map(fn x -> elem(x, 1) end)

Yes, this is actually more readable to me (a non-Elixir user). This syntax is explicit about what is happening.

> fn a, b -> x.(b, a) end

Yes, this is more clear!

I'm not going to discuss whether these are good or bad in the context of Elixir, but I do think the former examples are much more clear than the ones with the indices. Since Elixir uses arity notation it makes more sense, at least.

These have no place in Ruby, however.

It may sound either harsh or naive, but seriously my only strategy right now is to just hope that people using the service don't feel that way. If I understand your point, I personally (or someone working for the service) would have to start trying to recruit people by (a) getting big lists of known emails (easy to do), and (b) sending them fake messages that (for example) someone is interested in dating them.

So I guess I just have to keep my morality in check? :)
