You didn't pay $120 for the doctor to slap on a band-aid. You paid $120 for the peace of mind of having a "trained professional" do it and tell you that was an acceptable solution. It's the same reason people call plumbers to snake drains and pay mechanics to change brakes. Those are basic things that the least trained workers in those industries are capable of doing but you pay a premium to not have to think about it.

Boeing has been using only two for quite a time. Having a failed and a working one would simply indicate that something is wrong, but this information is valuable anyway -- it could be used to prevent MCAS from engaging based on wrong data, exactly one of the features the new software update is bringing.

Besides, those AoA sensors are EXTREMELY reliable. So reliable that some have raised the hypothesis that the real problem is not in the sensors themselves, but in some piece of hardware or software between them and the flight computers.

It seems plausible to me since failures in those sensors are too rare in the other planes but, despite that, they allegedly failed in two 737 Max 8s and in a really short timespan.

>> Signing with your wallet address proves you are a specific person. So that alone is a great reason to include the wallet.

No, it doesn't. It just proves that you own/hold a private key. You need to build an identity protocol on top of that if you want to prove that you are a specific person/organization. Such protocols have been around for quite some time before crypto currencies. It's just they don't have a good UX, that's why most websites require a password based authentication instead of a key/certificate.

I like a lot JWT/JWT as it has a lot of useful attributes(. e.g the "acr" attribute) so you better start with that than a crypto wallet

And if voters are opposed to having more information at their disposal they'll regret that decision. Politicians will see the opportunity fate has dropped into their lap and realize they have one of the following two choices:

Option 1: Oblige voters and pass a prohibition that regular people are not allowed to surface the data through Grassland. This would maintain the status quo for that particular polity but ONLY if NO OTHER polity in the world, to whom CAPITAL can flow chooses to act in their own self interest and takes Option 2 i.e. 'defect' in the Prisoner's Dilemma[1]

Option 2: Realize that having constituents incentivised to surface this data themselves means denser node coverage and less friction; Level 5 self driving cars (with better than human situational awareness); more efficient stock markets because of information decreasing risk and the opening of new markets and industries never before thought possible; less ignorance, violence, fear, unaccountably and resources needed between law enforcement and their communities; and a guaranteed (as long as the node's running) source of income for their voters. And not to mention the fact that they won't be forfeiting AI dominance and capital to those political bodies that have chosen Option 2 themselves.

All misunderstandings and fears of Grassland stem from an ignorance or misunderstanding of Game Theory. And until now this was little cause for concern. But now it's very dangerous to the public interest. And will become even more so when Deep Schizophrenia gets released.

And the answer: Because 40% of flights used to be late, now it's only 15%, reducing the amount of compensation airlines have to pay out.

Moving the goalposts. The article tries to make it look like a bad thing, like they're skirting their responsibilities (avoiding payouts), not improving their efficiency and punctuality (which is down to late passengers, which they either have to wait for or have to remove their luggage for, OR other factors outside the airlines' control), and that it's bad for the environment. But what if, and this may sound totally wild here, what if the schedules were too tight to begin with and they've just been adjusted to compensate?

I mean yes, the article makes mention that thanks to padding, a lot of flights seem to arrive early. But is that a bad thing? It means there's a lot more space to play around in. And planes can fly a bit slower, or fly at whatever speed they are most efficient at, instead of having to rush.

After a recent problem with failures of electrolytics, after a overhaul that included changing all electrolytics, the problem was tracked to stock storage. The manufactures specify a 2 year shelf life, but advised this could be extended by regularly charging the capacitors.
Here's the summary of Sec 1102, as linked to from the Ways & Means Committee's homepage:

https://waysandmeans.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/w...

> Sec. 1102. IRS Free File Program. The IRS currently works with electronic tax preparation services to provide free tax preparation software and electronically fillable forms. This program is known as the IRS Free File program. Generally, there is no fee for taxpayers using the Free File program provided they meet certain income thresholds. This provision codifies the existing Free File program and requires the IRS to continue to work with private stakeholders to maintain, improve, and expand the program. The provision also requires Free File program members to continue to provide basic fillable forms to all taxpayers. This provision is estimated to have no revenue impact over the 10-year budget window.

Exactly; if it was about operational efficiency, then airlines would be able to reduce padding to a minimum, which in turn would allow them to have planes ready to depart much quicker, which will allow them to fly more and thus make more money. I don't get the angle that it's the airlines that don't want to improve their efficiency.
It doesn't answer the question because it's still a speculation.

Full investigation is hopefully going to tell us what has really happened.
The point of distinction is that EU internal immigration and the refugee situation are entirely different things. Refugees leave there home countries because of war and terror. Members of the UN are obligated [1] to give shelter to those people.
Inside the EU there is indeed some welfare migration. This is however not only driven by social systems but also by available jobs.

Skynet IRL?
A simple fix to incentivize more fuel economy is to stop excluding it from fuel taxation, as is still the case in a lot of places. E.g. most EU countries tax fuel for cars, quite heavily, but not for planes. This exemption is starting to look pretty backwards and there is a fair bit of lobbying going on by aviation companies to prevent this from happening.

Low fuel prices currently allow planes to compete with trains for domestic flights in Germany even when the time gained is dubious at best. E.g. Berlin to Munich is a 50-60 minute flight and a 4 hour train journey. However, the train has no checkin and boarding queues and gets you from the downtown area of Berlin to the downtown area of Munich instead two 30-40 minute taxi rides away. If you factor that in, the train starts looking pretty damn good. Flying is still a little faster but so much less convenient.

It might also inform their choices for looking more fuel efficient alternatives. E.g. Berlin-Munich is well in range of the several electrical planes currently under development. IMHO a fleet of hundreds of these could revolutionize domestic flights by allowing cheap, clean flights directly between small city airports that are currently impossible to fly to because of noise and runway length.

This article makes some good points up until the end. It criticizes private sector waste without evaluating waste in the public sector. I see how the taxpayer impact could possibly* be a wash, and do see problems in the private sector for sure. But my experiences with just about any US federal system does not cause me to see them as a bastion of efficiency. Without a profit incentive or really any incentive beyond occasional bad press, and with strict salary and firing controls they do not innovate or improve. Look at the VA for an example. Horror stories do exist for British and Canadian systems as well as others I’m sure.

* This article also ignores the fact that many of the countries listed also still have private insurance supplementals. Those may need to be added for a fair comparison.

In the end I don’t have good solution, but think the traditional arguments in both directions are generally hyperbolic and over simplified. Unless data shows conclusively otherwise, I lean toward free market solutions.
I mean this is a free market, it obviously is worth the cost, because people keep mining and using the network. Simple supply and demand.

Kernighan's critique was very biased and he focused on plain ISO Pascal on purpose to get his point across.

Cleverly not mentioning that many issues were fixed on ISO Extended Pascal and other dialects.

Also that back then outside Bell Labs, most C compilers were actually dialects of the real thing, like Small C and RatC. So it was not like C wasn't without its portability issues outside UNIX.

Guess what the engines are doing at this time. Even worse if they tell planes to circle before landing because there are too many landings at this time.

Do you have any more information on this? Obviously slower-speed turboprop planes are much more efficient than jet powered planes, but I've read in the past that flying a jet engine slower can actually increase fuel consumption and increase emissions.

I grew up in the age of handwritten thank you notes for everything and I still wouldn’t expect them for an interview. I’d also be dismayed if the company’s didn’t feel “thankful” to see me.

Companies need good employees. VCs need companies to invest their customers’ money into. The implicit power relationship in these situations is unhealthy.
I'm willing to bet that their reports are entirely based on annual reports submitted by the telecom industry. The FCC probably doesn't have the manpower to do the surveying on it's own (or the funding to create such a task force), so they just ask ISPs to tell them what services are offered and where on an annual basis.

Unfortunately, they probably also lacks the funding to provide an auditor for those reports, and I bet there's no regulation requiring the industry to have an FCC auditor for them.

In other words, Congress doesn't care how accurate the report actually is.
Basic research has the biggest bang for the buck.
What evidence is there that the author of original hiring tweet thinks that sending thank you emails correlates with success? The person doesn’t claim that, and it would be such a preposterous belief that I would be shocked to hear them claim to hold it. My interpretation was merely that the author of the tweet likes people to behave according to some supposed social norm, and punishes people who don’t by refusing to hire them.

We are not even being fooled. The claim that someone is being fooled when a flight follows its published schedule is nonsense. It is also nonsense to suggest that this somehow removes incentives for airlines to be more efficient, as inefficiency has its costs.
