If you know what's going on, MCAS is quite safe

No, it's not, and most of the regulatory agencies around the world agree. Pilots that Boeing handpicked to test out MCAS fixes (and thus knew what it was, what to do, and expected a problem) agree. And that whole runaway stab trim checklist is a red herring especially after Boeing has come out and said MCAS is a part of STS — itself a system that trims the stabilizer in a counterintuitive manner on the NG. The stabilizer operates in a counterintuitive manner on the NG and MCAS runaway doesn't meet Boeing's definition of runaway trim. Full. Stop.

Here's a relevant quote:

Those involved in the testing hadn’t fully understood just how powerful the system was until they flew the plane on a 737 Max simulator, according to the two people.
There is no 'solution' for these kinds of public health hazards, that is not draconian, impinges on speech, or kills thousands of people.

We either need to quarantine people who refuse vaccinations out of society, censor anti-vax propaganda, or sit on our hands, as thousands of people, who were formerly protected by herd immunity fall sick and die.

Anti-vax memes are much like a virus - in the original, Dawkins, definition of 'meme'. Unfortunately, unlike measles, it is a virus that an absolutely free society cannot inoculate itself against.

Please do your part. Get yourself, and your children vaccinated. If you aren't sure if you got vaccinated, or if you got vaccinated only once, please talk to your doctor, and get an MMR booster shot.
For those that think the Impossible is still not up to snuff:

Has anyone done any testing of mixing of real beef and impossible to get as close as possible to "real" perception while minimizing the amount of real?

It looks like some copies hit the open internet around 2009, and a few of the songs has been remastered as promotional gimmicks. But yeah, I remember looking a bunch of years ago and finding that the title and one other song (Open Mic, maybe?) were the only things in circulation.

It's sort of funny to see that even something released post-internet can float in and out of availability like that. I generally class recent content as "lost" or "available", but obviously there's still a third category.
I'm the Java Languages Owner at Heroku. While I can't reveal in full detail why we do (or do not) officially support a particular language, I can say that it has nothing to do with how resource-hungry the runtime is :)

Our determination to officially support a language is based on numerous factors including community demand, relationship with other technologies, suitability to the platform (C++ is really popular but not for web apps), and more. In any case, I wouldn't read too much into our support--it's not a determination on the language itself.

Fun fact: Clojure was the first JVM language supported on Heroku back in 2011 (even before Java itself)!
https://blog.heroku.com/clojure_on_heroku

Today, Heroku support Java (with Maven or Gradle), Scala, and Clojure buildpacks. JRuby is supported via the Ruby buildpack. Buildpacks are the mechanism that prepares each app for production, so in some ways our support is more tightly coupled to the build tools than the language. That's why we don't have a Kotlin buildpack (it can use the Maven or Gradle buildpack accordingly). In fact, there's nothing specially you need to do to run a Kotlin app on Heroku, so we have some docs and there isn't much more to say about it. We've also worked closely with the Kotlin folks to make sure the ecosystem plays well with Heroku.

Let us know if you have any trouble with Clojure on Heroku. Stackoverflow.com is a great place to start (and I personal try to watch for questions tagged with "Heroku" and "Clojure").

VMWare Announces Plans to Remove Non-Complying Code, Hellwig Not to Appeal
Is anyone working on a network of networks such that there's a quorum of context/routing networks that pass input to the most appropriate network (or networks) for the scenario and blend the outputs in some meaningful way?
Heard you, thanks. Will work on this.
Transport category aircraft have a vast number of aerodynamic behaviors written in regulations, FAR 25. Approach to stall, stall, and stall recovery are described behaviors they must exhibit (FAR 25.201 - 25.207). Longitudinal static stability and dynamic stability are also defined (FAR 25.171 - 25.181). There is no such thing as certifying an aerodynamically unstable transport category aircraft.

An open question I haven't yet been able to determine is to what degree software is an acceptable mediator to compel such behaviors. But I'm very skeptical that it's acceptable at all, let alone by something that can be intentionally disabled with two switches as a troubleshooting/override, and then also not require any difference training for the new behavior that ensues.

Whether MCAS exists strictly for FAR 25 airworthiness, or to avoid a different type rating for the pilot under FAR 61.31 from any other 737, it's questionable how you get around either of those things once it's disabled on purpose as a emergency/troubleshooting technique.

Which is worse upon setting STAB TRIM to cutoff? That the airplane isn't legally airworthy? Or that the pilot isn't legally type rated? Or even possibly both? And was either the case with the previous 737 models? Definitely not.
> Because for every person trying to buy it for X someone is “buying it” for -X.

Selling “it” for X is not buying “it” for -X. It's buying X for “it”.

More specifically, if A sells X to B for Y, A gives up X for Y implying Y is worth at least X to A (and X at most Y), While B gives up Y for X, implying that X is worth at least Y to B (and Y at most X.)

Hence, that trade occuring in market where X and Y have access to all potential purchasers and sellers of X and Y fixes the value of X equal to Y.
My point is that there is no proposed alternative. Why is there no privacy focused Facebook or Google? The answer is that privacy is not valuable enough to most people to endure the switching costs and alternative solutions don't even exist.

So the discussion then comes down to going offline all together (which no one will do) or as this OP asks for: more regulation. Only that further slows down the pace of innovation and further entrenches the large players due to regulatory capture.

The article you post is a perfect example of why privacy doesn't matter. Do you think the average FB user will wade through that then erase their account? No. They want the value they get out of FB and nowhere in the counter argument is any suggestion of alternatives.
So as I understand, the higher the wordcount, the deeper the "spaces get" by generating filler content matching the space and fit for the dimension of the space.
I disagree in a way... If my cost of living and all other expenses don't change, and I just switch jobs and instantly got a 20% salary increase... Whether I'm making a $30k salary or a $200k salary, that's a lot of extra money to throw at savings, hobbies, retirement (retire earlier?), etc...
Measuring load times and ranking sites that way produces a relative ordering of fast and relevant sites. (Slow sites can still do well if they're faster than other sites.) Making sites implement AMP absolutely ensures that the site is fast.

I don't think it would, unless it begins playing within thirty seconds of the user choosing a video and provides an uninterrupted streaming experience?

Last I checked, the BitTorrent protocol didn't provide packet sorting that would allow for this behavior (by forcing the beginning of the movie's bytestream to be the first data downloaded), so my mistake if the protocol has improved and I was unaware it provided this service.

That's not a great way to state the premise of the war. "The Trojans" had no intention to do anything. Paris went to Sparta, but not Phthia, and committed a crime there. How did the Trojans feel about that?

> the son of Atreus strode among the throng, looking everywhere for Alexander, and no man, neither of the Trojans nor of the allies, could find him. If they had seen him they were in no mind to hide him, for they all of them hated him as they did death itself.

Achilles is totally correct that, as far as he's concerned, Troy hasn't aggrieved him in any way, and would have a hard time doing it if it wanted to.
Usually the safety requirement will mention a mandatory reboot period that will be somehow related to a power of 2... Damn integer counters...
I really liked Google Keep before I started concerning myself with privacy and boycotted all Google products. It struck the perfect balance between organization and the ability to easily jot things down; one thing I never liked about EN was that every note had to go in a notebook and had to have a title. That would always give me a mental block when I just wanted to write disorganized thoughts and then organize them later. I'm also a huge advocate of tags-over-categories.

That's super sketchy about the author.

Wagtail, a CMS system for Django uses a very similar abstraction to this for their StreamField[1] type and I've found it incredibly useful. It allows frontend services and backend services to easily implement custom types, and treats streams of content as a list of 'blocks'.

No, Pipdig, you don't get a mulligan on lying.
They had 40 seconds to avert the accident from what I read. the memory items for runaway trim take about 1 minute in a relatively calm simulator with a professional 37 pilot to get to that point where they flip the switch[0]. They still had an incorrectly trimmed aircraft when they got to that point. also of note was that the pilots in the sim were at 3000' AGL where the other ones that crashed were at about 1000' AGL.

I disagree; modern nuclear power is way safer, and is a result of decades of continuous improvement.

MCAS on the other hand is basically a bad hack that was necessary for business reasons. It's a serious step backwards in safety from previous iterations, which has not happened with modern nukes.
I'm firmly pro-vaccine and also find the anti-vaxxers problematic but hysteria like this is overboard. We are not facing the end of humanity over this, sorry.
Yeah, I definitely feel your pain regarding iterating on plans and features.

Stripe explicitly makes it hard to modify most aspects of Stripe-level plans after they are created, which definitely is the right call because user expectations about recurring payments need to remain stable. But that means you have to build your own plan->feature mapping to manage a proliferation of plans, if you do any experimenting with or evolution of your pricing.
I am wondering more and more, if Facebook and Twitter were to disappear tomorrow, would that be a net negative or a net positive for society?

Before, I would have said net negative, but in the last couple of years, I am not so sure.
Exactly. The real world is comprised of data, and the more we restrict it to private interest, private interest gets to reap more benefits.

I venture that customization isn't important for 98% of users, especially less technically minded users. That's why Google consumer products are pretty simple. Moreover, at scale, every customization opportunity needs lots of work to support on every client and backend.

Some of what's in the article seems to contradict what YouTube's product chief said in a recent interview.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19523415

The chief contradiction I see - The product chief claims youtube has been taking this problem seriously, while this report implies youtube has ignored the problem for some time, going as far as to avoid searching for videos to claim plausible deniability. According to the bloomberg article, YouTube was aware of the "bad virality" problem for sometime, but it was never addressed.
Had an art teacher tell me that "purple" was not a "color" but rather the name of a dye used hundreds of years ago. She said "violet" is the name of that "color" you are referring to as purple.
Nobody says "uses memory", you call that the stack, and that was the dominant calling convention over the last decades. It's not dead-slow, it's just not as fast as the new fastcall conventions via registers. "memory" is usually the heap, which is really dead-slow compared to the stack.

There are many VM's which do the same, they have the advantage that the GC does not need to spill all registers to the heap just to find the roots. All roots are at the stack already. Basile Starynkevitch's GC from Qish e.g. does it like this and is one of the fastest GC's around. The stack is always in the cache, and the registers can be used for more locals or intermediate results.
Yeah, the guy probably thought interesting young people would come and have conversations with him after he became famous. Instead, he is just filmed all day on phones by visitors trying to bolster their social media likes with some desirable video footage.
The article is a steaming pile, written by someone who has no idea what's what.

The previous case had standing as an issue because the individual in question was not hurt by the specific alleged fraud. This is not the case in the current litigation. The current litigation is seeking class certification for everyone that has paid for licenses on public works.

The article additionally ignores a number of heads of liability which are claimed in the pleading (consumer protection, unjust enrichment).

It's notable that fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation isn't claimed directly. I expect they might amend to add that as a fall back once they get better counsel. Instead they've claimed it's a RICO violation for a pattern of fraud amounting to racketeering. Ambitious big dollar claim, likely hoping to ratchet up a settlement amount but it's not clear it'll work out. They're currently represented by a personal injury lawyer who doesn't seem to have much background in the field, and I believe they've left off direct fraud claims due to the cost implications (I don't know know the RoP in the jurisdiction so the cost note is speculation on my part).
Every browser uses different markup to represent contents of contenteditable. One browser uses div for text and splits it into two when enter is pressed, other browser inserts <br/>, next one has paragraph, etc. ect.

JSON is not here for resemblance, but for normalization. You force single presentation of things from start, and when user presses enter (or other text composition event happens) you prevent default action, update document model (JSON) and then update the HTML.

This approach is much more sane and predictable than trying to trust browser's HTML.
The government is propping up the companies because that's what the companies made happen. Your framing suggests that government did this on its own. It did not. The outsized ability of companies to influence the government is the core problem that must first be solved. It is the root of most people's gripes with the government.
I think our collective lack of media and information literacy is undersold as a threat to civilization. More people believe the Earth is flat than in the past, vaccine efficacy and safety is in doubt, and anthropogenic climate change is regarded as a conspiracy of the left. Putting your faith in "the truth" winning out just because it's the truth is a losing strategy, as demonstrated in the present and throughout history (this isn't a new phenomenon, but the internet and social media give this problem a much greater reach with more dire consequences).

TEDxTalk: Three Steps to Closing the Gender Gap in Tech

A difference in the content of the two platforms doesn't mean that the comments on the two sites are so dissimilar that they can't be compared.

In particular, they remove the forum requirement of quoting the comment you're replying to, by allowing you to respond to someone's comment directly below it in the middle of an existing thread. It would be exactly as inconvenient to readers of old Reddit and HN threads if that context was deleted automatically 6 months after the fact, HN just doesn't let you do it.
I read this! And then we decided that the right thing to do for MOBILE is to completely AVOID native selections. The editor we built is way more clean than ANYTHING professional companies like Froala, Imperavi, TinyMCE, CKEditor and others have put out. But only for mobile touchscreens.

We are thinking of hiring a manager to license this to everyone using the other editors on their site (sites like BuiltWith can tell you entire lists of these sites) or just negotiate to give an unlimited / open source license to Froala / Imperavi themselves!

Google Cloud Memorystore with Redis 4.0 Update and Failover
Yeah, keeping physical things around does only make sense if it is actually valuable to someone. Archives only accept objects actually worthwhile of keeping. But it's different for digital content, as it's so much easier to store. At least for now.

Also, Archaeologists love the garbage dumps and cesspits of old towns, literally the places where people put their least valuable things, because they weren't raided by earlier visitors and they can derive so much info about it. And it's nicely stratified so it gives some rough chronology.
Seeking to do great things is not linked to fame. The public is generally ignorant of every great person alive today, they just see the people who need to be seen because it supports their ventures.

It’s not that simple and indeed. See my response above.
Couldn't agree more. Reading over it's tied to Stripe and their implementation, not even any sort of abstracted interfaces. Vendor lock-in isn't a good plan and to your point, make it easier to add another payment system when needed. Good choice
Anti-vaxers have been around almost as long as vaccines.

Hi, OP here! I gave this TEDx Talk about how to close the gender gap in tech at my local TEDx conference last month - I hope you all enjoy watching it! I was extremely nervous, but it was an honor to be able to speak on such a internationally acclaimed stage!

We just upgraded our Slate version, and the relatively new Android support is sort of working, but still with a lot of bizarre and janky behavior.
Why are you so quick to blame the pilots and no one else?

When hundreds of lives are at stake, defense in depth is critically important. Planes that crash unless the pilot does the exact right thing in some rarely occurring situation are not safe. It's bad design. That's like saying that airbags aren't necessary in cars because if everyone just drove perfectly there'd be no accidents. Well guess what, no one's perfect, and building systems that require human perfection are bad engineering.

Super curious about the story behind this..
"Suicidal" might be a little strong. :-)

Like most things in engineering, you can move the tradeoffs around to optimize for different use cases.

The "one true source" approach allows you to avoid writing logic to keep data in sync between your customer records and Stripe's systems. It also implicitly pushes you to think about how to store enough data in Stripe that the Stripe dashboards become your interactive way of managing and viewing customers. Those are both big enough wins that I do think it's the right approach to take for lots of folks who are just spinning up charging for a product, and for relatively simple recurring revenue use cases.

If you need to use multiple payment processors, or you need to have a complex view of your customer and lifecycle, then it's not the right approach.
