They are pseudo-governmental de-facto public utilities. They have been heavily invested in and subsidized by the government, and given special permission to provide vital infrastructure.

So no, they can't just do whatever the hell they want.

With that said, They SHOULD have a surcharge for ZTE phones, if they are hostile to their network.

Could someone please summarize what's happening here? I haven't been following so I'm confused with this whole SEC / Elon Musk battle.
The economy is not a zero-sum game. If you look at the amount of value created by Amazon, it vastly surpasses that 30 billion.

Amazon has driven down the price of goods substantially and made a huge variety of products available worldwide. That is of significant value to society, the price-pressure alone benefits all consumers, especially those with low incomes.

There are also significant competitors both nationally and internationally (Walmart & Alibaba) to name a few.
The problem for me is not with the error that happened but by the response of the CEO for the accident. People who fly on new planes can't be bullsh*tted that easily, as they read news all the time. The Boeing CEO has no idea how much he is in the center of attention for his clients right now.
Incorrect. The LEO constellations use phased arrays (or similar) and are able to slew at whatever angular rate you could want as they are electronically steered. Both for the terminals and for the satellite side. Iridium has used phases arrays in its LEO constellation for decades now, and the newer constellations like OneWeb and Starlink use phases arrays on the terminal side as well.
I love Brave! I think it's an underdog that's truly going to make waves if their traction continues. I'm really curious as to why they'd use Chromium vs Firefox as their base though. Any reasoning someone care to explain?
There was a pro Counter Strike player Griffin Benger ("What up now Swedes" guy) who became a professional poker player and was once the highest winning online player and has a total earnings of over $10m now.

I think there are a number of pro esports players who have become full time poker players. Interesting how that drive and dedication transfers to other things.
Never heard of it, never cared about it. Why is it on Hacker News? (Edit: Well, maybe that’s why...)
We paid for it, but only drivers get to use it. And when they aren't using it, they are off limits. And on top of that, they are incredibly dangerous, with a million direct deaths a year.

And in a lot of cities, roads take up more space than private residences. Such a huge waste.
Model legislation by ALEC or similar orgs is less traceable in influence, because ALEC per se is not subject to procedural openness, lobbying (directed at ALEC), or other controls intended to provide transparency in lawmaking and influences on it. ALEC has also been credibly accused of being a venue for evasion of state transparency laws by it's legislator members.
Any PR pro worth their rate would have him and senior management very publicly flying only on 737 Max flights when they comeback online.

Assurances alone are going to mean a very rocky road back for this plane.
"one of the keys to good and consistent performance (as much as PHP will allow, anyway)"

I've found that caching any results of logic that's repeated per request makes PHP pretty damn fast. I use apcu, it saves state with an mmap backed cache.
Until Apple makes ALL of their services cross-platform, it's really hard to justify getting excited. I know in the US Apple has a strong presence, but if they truly want their services to exceed, they will need to go to Windows / Desktop Linux / Web / Android to compete. They were able to do it with Apple Music. Why not with Siri, iMessage, and the slew of new services they've introduced?
I don't think the general public will be swayed. All it takes is a few Boeing PR campaigns and some time and people will forget.
Curious if there are differences in the practice or styles in American Samoa vs. the independent nation of Samoa.

>Most in fact are looking to these tools e.g. React, Spark, Kafka etc because so many other engineers are using them with success.

This is not a real criteria for choosing anything. You can say the exact same thing about ASP.NET WebForms, MySQL, MSMQ or pretty much anything that was popular at any point in time. If you're only looking for "success" stories, you're not doing due diligence as an engineer. Who defines "success" anyway? The same person who chose React, Spark and Kafka in the first place and whose salary is directly proportional to how hyped-up those technologies currently are?

This data point has no correlation with the headline. As Tesla has no problem selling Model 3s - the car with absolutely no buttons. The market has spoken and there is overwhelming support for no button car. Deliver reduction is primarily due to Fed tax credit expiry, shipping bottlenecks, and slowing S/X sales since they are very old cars. Also, Tesla making ~70k vehicles in a quarter is a remarkable achievement as they were selling 20k cars a quarter till last year

Good grief. This is incredible. Thanks for sharing that.
Well, I am sure there are some aspects which annoy users (e.g. having to search for the opt-out button on every page you visit), but AFAIK those are actually bad implementations. Sure, some things could have been done better, but ultimately the GDPR is a huge step in the right direction.

It is good this article is posted as 'opinion' as it is quite opinionated (doesn't reflect my opinion though).
I think it's a tradeoff between resources and efficiency. The longer the race, the more you need to manage your air. Breathing more means a bit more drag, but also more energy to finish the race. Which option is better for you depends on your strength, endurance, distance, and probably many other factors.

Of course in training, ideally you would breathe to both sides—Michel Phelps alternates every 50.
Safety is one thing but the problem is that MCAS was brought in to keep the common type rating. It's hard to see that common type rating holding now with what we know.
He should offer each family member of a victim one swing at him with a golf club.
GM also competed with Tesla with its Bolt. Where are they now ?
That article totally misrepresents the normal use case for a Hadoop cluster though. Hadoop clusters are meant for when you have multiple petabytes of data and this network bandwidth becomes the bottleneck for doing batch processing jobs.

Let me know when your command line tools run multiple large scale processing jobs on petabyte datasets.

His article was him constructing a straw man about why people use Hadoop and attacking that.
It's now fairly obvious MCAS was at the root of those two crashes. But, did it save lives in other circumstances?

Meaning, was there ever a case where the nose went up so much, because of the bigger motors and their different location on the wings, that the activation of MCAS prevented a stall? I'm surprised no one seems to talk about this.

It's also surprising the MCAS was implemented at all, instead of an alarm. Yes, the point of MCAS is to make appear the MAX is the same plane as earlier models (when in fact it's not), but if pilots need to learn how to deal with MCAS malfunction, isn't it the same as learning to deal with unexpected stalling during take-off? The whole reasoning sounds kind of circular.
Aircraft crashes attract a lot of attention, and probably for a good reason. But just to keep folks' internal perception of risk - aircraft safety has improved a lot:

macOS and most apps have nice UX and mostly work well together. Docker usually works on top of the built-in macOS intel-origin hypervisor. (VMware Fusion is another $olid option for $$; had problems with VirtualBox.)

What's neat about the T480 is there's an utility on the Windows partition to flash the BIOS startup boot logo from red "Lenovo" to whatever you want.
Presumably you mean Suica and compatible systems like Passmo.

It's anonymous at point of top-up, that's true. But when the card is issued, an ID should be shown.
You're right that the service bulletin doesn't talk about selecting selecting a sufficient nose up trim because control of the aircraft using manual trim is a continuous action performed in combination with the pitch up command of the control yoke. Just pulling up on the control column and activating momentary manual trim isn't sufficient or intended. I understand why people think the checklist implies that performing a STAB TRIM cutout occurs instantly after the autopilot is disengaged because of the "if runaway continues" language.
Not really, not anything like what you're describing.

I think $3B in R&D, half of that is the engines, but more importantly, time to market trying to compete with Airbus.

They can reuse the engines. If the airframe can’t fly safely without MCAS (it’s getting a new type rating anyway at this point, right?) then I think perhaps it shouldn’t fly.
Said like a person who hasn't actually ever converted. It's nothing like that at all.

It's one of the three schools you just listed. Don't know what to tell you.

There are people who are different from us. I think your assumption that a large percentage of people think or believes the same things as us is a bit shaky. Sure maybe there are references to those schools in popular culture but can you really assume:
1. Popular culture is actually popular for the majority of Americans?
2. People consume all of popular culture?
3. People pay attention to the details in popular culture. Someone might say a line in a movie and not everyone is going to understand it nor is everyone going to look it up in Wikipedia or Google.
4. Even if people paid attention to the detail, are you sure that they understood it the same way?

It's not as if my GF haven't heard of those schools. It's just that she didn't think they are particularly elite. In her words, she thought my school is the New England version of Notre Dame. A good or even a great school but she didn't think it is "elite".

> Harvard, Yale, MIT, etc are as elite as you can get in the US ( and the world ).

I'm not too sure about that, especially when it's applied to the world. "elite school" is an idea that lives in the heads of people. It's not an actual club that grants special privileges. There's the Ivy League but that's an athletics association and you left out most of the schools in it from your list.
"It's not your computer."

That's been my motto for Windows 10. It's Microsoft's computer, and they will reboot it whenever they please, update it when they want to, and put whatever ads or other apps on the start menu or task bar as they see fit.

It's their computer and it serves their interests first and foremost.

I used to run a Mac but it's been a few years. I don't remember Mac OS being nearly as control freakish as Windows 10.

I still have a Windows 7 PC but I use it exclusively for games and absolutely nothing else. It's even VLAN/firewall isolated from the rest of my computers. I guess I will have to upgrade to Windows 10 here this summer finally because Win7 is going EoL for security updates.

I often spend time in the Seattle area and have more than once told someone they have "Microsoft morals". It's never been taken as a compliment, which is as-intended.
That's fair, but also, salaries for pilots are not great, and Boeing's former CEO got a salary of $865K/year + $1.3M/year bonus + stock and now that he's retired gets a pension of $730K/year. I'm sort of curious what exactly it would have cost Boeing to say, "This is not a 737, but we will pay to retrain any 737-trained pilot who's interested." (Which still would have given them a negotiating advantage over Airbus!)
Totally, I get that. They don't seem to. ;)
I don’t work at FAANG, but the general sense I get is that while there is no doubt top DL talent that should command mid six to seven figure salaries, it seems that with AI programs stuffed at both the undergrad and grad levels that things should cool off eventually.

More broadly, does success in academia usually translate to delivering business value? Are these companies betting on these researchers to come up with the next great DL architecture?
IRV actually has the opposite problem: "If I vote for my ideal candidate, am I impairing the good candidate's chance of winning?" For instance, if it were Nader/Gore/Bush with 26%/25%/49%, and (hypothetically) all Nader voters preferred Gore over Bush but not all Gore voters preferred Nader over Bush, then voting for Nader instead of dishonestly choosing the "lesser evil" Gore would end up electing Bush.

No voting method can entirely escape both of these problems. But newer methods like STAR voting balance them against each other and manage to minimize both.
I guess I just start from the premise that a bill originating in ALEC is (a) going to be hard-partisan conservative and (b) overwhelmingly likely to serve the interests of an ALEC sponsor corporation; once you know the bill comes from ALEC, you know most of what you need to know, don't you? What do I care who's "lobbying" ALEC?

On the flip side, if Purdue Pharma spends several years and several tens of thousands of dollars lobbying a conservative congressperson, who later amends a health care bill to serve Purdue, what indicator do I have that the amendment they sponsored was "sponsored" by Purdue?
Lots of the comments are really funny.

Doesn't China already have democracy? It appears to, despite two unusual attributes:

1. Only one party is permitted, effectively making that party a part of the government and thus being equivalent to banning parties.

2. You have to be a party member to vote. This is available to those with a good reputation.

Those oddities don't seem to be disqualifying. The USA didn't begin with parties or universal suffrage.

But even if that's true, who cares? Overwatch is not going to be a popular ESports title forever, but the FPS genre overall is probably going to be a component of ESports for an extremely long time. If your skills are transferable within an entire genre, that's good enough.

The odds of someone waking up some day in a world where competitive FPS ESports have vanished is probably roughly comparable to the odds that someone wakes up in a world where competitive hockey has vanished -- that is to say, unlikely enough that's it doesn't seem to be worth worrying about.
The only time it has been utilized that in the manner it was intended that I'm aware of is when it was exercised during it's test flights.

What happened to all the women? This office would make diversity/inclusion officers salivate.
I'm pretty sure this will end with retraining or the restoration of "pull up" method of the pilot overriding the feature (the later may require retraining anyway)
If you buy a domain through gandi.net, they give you 2 email addresses free. They use SOGO, so it's decent.

I guess you can't tell. You could see how often it operated but not know whether the pilots would have saved it. That said it's pretty unusual for professional pilots in an airliner to get into a stall situation.
Except that Stack Exchange is a very static site so caching and read ratio is probably very high, I guess 99% of the people just type a question on Google land on SE and that's it.
And I heard a third story, which is that the aircraft nearly botched his deliberate attempt at flaring for the water landing due to envelope protections he hadn't known about:

> I was commanding for more, pulling back full aft on the stick and the flight control computers prevented me from getting more lift therefore we hit harder than we would have (...) It turns out there's a little-known software feature known only then to a few Airbus software engineers, and to no pilots to no airlines that was the case. It's called a phugoid mode. And it was not the way we were trained the airplane should work, apparently it is the way the airplane does work. But that was not apparent to us.

I think you probaby struck a raw nerve with that dog issue in particular. Some people have family and dogs, but other people have no family (or not the one they want) and use dogs as surrogates. Pointing out the difference between family and dogs can provoke an intense emotional reaction, not rooted in their feelings towards dogs but rather rooted in the phantom pain they feel where their family should be. So what seems to be an irrational emotional outburst in defense of dogs is in fact their sense of familiar longing or loss. Viewed this way, maybe you can see some common ground.

(I'm sure somebody might want to tell me about how they have a family and a dog, and love both. That's great, but I'm quite sure losing a child would be a greater blow to you than losing a dog. The point here is that somebody who already feels pain from missing family might try to ameliorate that pain with dog ownership.)
I hate it when a priori does that.
Notice interesting thing - a lot of women in the pictures.

Cool and thanks! I'll make a trip to the running store in downtown soon. Like you said, it's small shop and hopefully run by knowledgeable staff.

I used to wear ASIC for over 10 years. I notice that the quality has gone down a bit: cheaper material, shorter laces and mostly I cannot find a wider size. I switched to Brooks in 2017 and it seems to be OK (wide size).

I also heard a lot of recommendations for Saucony. Let's hear what the running store's staff suggest.

You're also very on point w.r.t weight training! I quit going to 24-hour fitness in 2015 because of commute change. So now I mostly exercise by running outdoor. I need to sign up for gym again to squat.
There's a school of thought that would say that by default, error messages shouldn't be a huge scary wall of text, because you have to consider that a majority of the people who would see an error message are not developers, and have no idea what to do with that information.

It should certainly be possible for someone who can diagnose an error to see the details, but making it the default can be problematic when the message has a chance of being shown to real end users.
Why would they do that? I think a core part of their business strategy is creating cool synergies and features between products but restricting those features to Apple devices. It makes consumers buy into the apple ecosystem.

They don't want to support Siri and iMessage on non-apple devices. Those are free services, why would they give them away without requiring you to buy their devices?
Now read again what Boeing issued to the airlines and the pilots after the first crash:

https://www.avm-mag.com/faa-issues-emergency-ad-for-boeing-7...

"An erroneous AOA input can cause some or all of the following indications and effects:"

"IAS DISAGREE alert."

The whole "what to do" is then:

"Initially, higher control forces may be needed to overcome any stabilizer nose down trim already applied. Electric stabilizer trim can be used to neutralize control column pitch forces before moving the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches to CUTOUT. Manual stabilizer trim can be used before and after the STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches are moved to CUTOUT."

We know now that the pilots performed what was there laconically written, and that even these actions couldn't save the plane.

Which means either:

- Boeing never actually tested how to really handle the situation described then or

- Boeing indeed tested that and knew that IAS DISAGREE procedures would also be followed and which would guarantee to make the plane uncontrollable (for details see here: https://leehamnews.com/2019/04/03/et302-used-the-cut-out-swi... how one pilot recently reconstructed that and made a video about it, which was later withdrawn on the demand of the pilot's company -- note a single pilot here did what Boeing, which is supposed to sell hundreds of billions USD worth of these planes didn't want to do), but bet on "it won't happen soon enough, we can get away with it."

I can't find that anybody can excuse either of these.
Thanks for the data point. I guess the model that always comes to mind for me is Apple. At some point they realized that they needed to control as much of the retail portion of the customer relationship as possible in order to successfully sell highly differentiated, but expensive products (Macs). Even their high-profile retail partners (like Best Buy) have Apple designed areas in their showroom. If I were BMW, Mercedes, or Audi, who all sell highly differentiated and expensive products, I would want a similar relationship with my customers.

Also, FWIW, Daewoo is basically a non-entity in the US auto market. I'm not sure how they fared in the UK and EU, but if it's similar, that may be a confounding factor with that particular answer. And, generally, I think the dealership model arose originally because the auto industry is immensely capital intensive before you start talking about having inventory sitting on a lot in every minor city in the world. And the auto industry was more speculative, so the manufacturers were happy to let someone else front the capital for carrying finished inventory. But the auto industry is established and capital is plentiful these days.
