Here's a version of how it occured;

"Instead, engineers were able to add just a few inches to the front landing gear and shift the engines farther forward on the wing. The engines fit, but the Max sat at a slightly uneven angle when parked.

While that design solved one problem, it created another. The larger size and new location of the engines gave the Max the tendency to tilt up during certain flight maneuvers, potentially to a dangerous angle.

To compensate, Boeing engineers created the automated anti-stall system, called MCAS, that pushed the jet’s nose down if it was lifting too high. The software was intended to operate in the background so that the Max flew just like its predecessor. Boeing didn’t mention the system in its training materials for the Max.

Boeing also designed the system to rely on a single sensor — a rarity in aviation, where redundancy is common. Several former Boeing engineers who were not directly involved in the system’s design said their colleagues most likely opted for such an approach since relying on two sensors could still create issues. If one of two sensors malfunctioned, the system could struggle to know which was right.

Airbus addressed this potential problem on some of its planes by installing three or more such sensors. Former Max engineers, including one who worked on the sensors, said adding a third sensor to the Max was a nonstarter. Previous 737s, they said, had used two and managers wanted to limit changes."

Identity fraud when voting basically doesn't happen. We're talking dozens of cases in a given election, even when people investigate it.

There are other kinds of fraud that are pervasive (like harvesting absentee ballots and modifying/discarding them) and those should be policed, but voter ID laws historically do literally nothing except punish people who don't have access to ID - like people whose birth certificates burned up in a fire, or people whose nearest DMV office is hours away.

We have decades of evidence that voter ID is a waste of time and money. It has one very obvious reason. It also seems to be pretty close to illegal, if not illegal.
If BJP wanna prove they didn't hack the voting machine last time, head onto this site and show what's the public really wants. (And vice versa)
The issues then becomes how they collected data from you.

So how do we stop that?
And better yet, how to we prevent those who have collected data about us from using it ways we do not consent to.

I too do do not want my personal info being used by anyone I do not explicitly grant access to.
>Seems in some places, it's perfectly (socially) acceptable to pick on others, as long as you're picking on the 'right' group of folks...

This is the US. Here, it's perfectly acceptable to pick on everyone. From blacks, and handicapped people, to bankers, and frat boys. You can discriminate against whoever you like here. At least in the jokes and social situations.

You should hear what they say about blacks, or greedy bankers, or frat boys, or women they call "gold diggers", or jews, or hispanics, or white people, or cops, or etc etc etc.

That's the great thing about America, you can say whatever you like.

Java is interesting in that variance is defined at a reference site. Contrast that to, say, C#, where variance is defined at a type's declaration site.

In C#, a type `Function<in T, out R>` is always contravariant with `T` and covariant with `R`. An assignment target of `Function<String, Object>` can always accept a `Function<Object, String>` because the definition of `Function<,>` says that's okay.

In Java, there is no way to impose variance rules at a type's declaration site. An assignment target of `Function<String, Object>` can only (barring unchecked cheats) ever refer to a `Function<String, Object>`. However, I can declare a reference of `Function<? super String, ? extends Object>`, and suddenly it can be assigned a `Function<Object, String>`.

I always found this difference interesting. C# is much stricter: all members of a type with generic variance must obey that variance, or that type will not compile. The type `List<T>` can only be invariant with `T` because `T` appears as both an input (e.g., in `Add(T)`) and as an output (e.g., `T this[int]`). In Java, enforcement happens at the usage site. If I declare a `List<? extends String>`, the compiler will happily let me call methods for which `T` is an output (e.g., `get(int)`), but it prohibits me from calling methods for which `T` is an input (e.g., `add(T)`).

As an interesting consequence of this decision, Java allows for the concept of 'bivariance': it's possible to declare a variable of type `List<?>` in Java and assign any instantiation of `List<>` to it. Moreover, I can still invoke members which do not contain `T` in their signature (e.g., I can call `int size()`). In C#, this is simply not possible. To work around this, some generic interfaces have non-generic counterparts. For example, every `IEnumerable<>` instantiation is also an instance of the non-generic `IEnumerable` type.

I am curious which approach is more common across other programming languages.
This post is completely correct: yes, you're correct and you're a hypocrite.

But: so what?

When I read the news, the last thing I care about is the mores of the news organisation. Reporting on a politician pilfering taxes? Couldn't care less if the reporter panama papered his way through life. Writing about a politician illegally snooping on citizens? Don't give a damn if you got that info by illegally snooping on the politician. Is the news true? That's all I want to know.

I read the news for the news. Are the facts solid? Good. Are you crooked? Don't care.

Assuming people who bike to work are rich is ridiculous, you will see plenty of working class folks using a bike to get to their destination in this city.
Assuming ballots were modified is kind of a weird stance to take, isn't it? I mean, you're welcome to assume it, but we don't have many historical cases of it happening until recently. It'd be one thing to assume it by default in every state if we knew there was a long history of it happening everywhere... instead we seem to be treating the possibility as an excuse for making it harder for citizens to vote. Weird how that works.

We could always verify the ballots after the fact if you're really concerned that every absentee ballot is being forged.

Actually, most of those ghost towns were real, and many are still basically ghost towns (eg Ordos new town district, which might come back when coal is great again; and then we have Tianjin’s financial district, but derelict buildings is nothing new for tianjin).

Speculating on property is a horrible way to go about development. Building a new district in a second or third tier that is then speculatively bought out by rich city investors with the idea that there are lot of millionaire farmers who will relocate there later is just plain idiotic.

Go look for citations to support your claim that voter ID is needed and identity fraud is pervasive in elections. It'll be hard to find some, because historically it just doesn't happen.

It'd be one thing to put those laws in place in response to pervasive fraud, but historically we just have lawmakers explicitly saying they did it to reduce voter turnout which is... kind of a mistake.

Whether or not ID is issued to non-citizens is a massively different issue. People need ID for all sorts of stuff - that doesn't mean everyone with ID is automatically going out there and skipping work to stand in line to vote.

On the one hand, no, not in a public setting.

On the other hand, looking at git histories is basically how the social parts of engineering (e.g., money and power) at a place like Google works, at its fundamental level.

This has persisted for a very, very long time. I still remember when people would comment things like, "I worked with so-and-so unorthodox former Google employee, and he didn't commit code."

There are a lot of Googlers on HN. There are a lot of people who work at places that culturally align themselves with how that company runs.

It probably has something to do with why some women feel underpaid or unwelcome at these places.

It definitely has something to do with people commenting things like, "So is this the case of the product manager taking credit..." The tension between the product manager who "didn't do anything" and the engineer who "did all the work" and how the "org" sees that and measures "performance" are all swimming in the back of HN people's heads when they snipe some random academic.

Settling the score in a way so reductive is extremely appealing. But at least in duels, the other person gets to fire back.

Mildly ironic since this site uses tracking ads that were blinking in and out of existence all over the page as I was scrolling down the article. I had to stop reading because it was so annoying.

Never wanted anything of Apple since then because I was afraid all prices would rise too much and I think it did, for all "premium" products. I saw people buying it who can hardly afford it.

But since a long time, I think they don't give the bang for the buck also ( 2016).

I kept Windows and used Android. Touchbar, non-standard cables, Apple licenced accessories, ... None of that is worth it to me.

Agreed all around, it'd be really nice if there were better general standards for friendly ways to deploy and utilize 802.1x. IOT is definitely a big hold up there, support is quite spotty even amongst new major device manufacturers. I recently was asked to deploy a bunch of Nest smoke alarms at a business for example (they are genuinely nice, and the testing I've seen indicate their dual wavelength photoelectric sensors do a very good job), and they don't support it. But even outside of IOT I'm quite surprised sometimes by mainstream devices that make it more of an effort then it needs to be, such as Chromebooks. I was surprised mainly because one place user/pass auth for WiFi isn't at all uncommon is colleges, and I'd have assumed students there were a significant enough general market to be worth more attention. On a Mac 802.1x is all a single flow at the simplest level, select the network, enter the credentials, it'll ask about the cert if it's self-signed, and that's it. Compare to the Chromebook procedure [1], it's not like it's horribly involved but why the whole separate cert procedure?

Granted, authentication in general remains a lot of spaghetti across the entire industry. I don't think there is a lot of relief overall on the horizon, though at least in some areas like with WebAuthn there is hopeful progress. Maybe progress in separate areas will ultimately make a foundation that can be further expanded.

I think this a needed change, but as I've said in the other comments, I am yet to encounter one of those sorts of intersections in the US. Though I have been told today on HN that they do exist in the US.
Keep in mind they are built out for that density, having comparably much less density (much closer to a German small town) before development.

That's literally correct, though I imagine you meant this as sarcasm. Crowd panic is a phenomenon that is in the same category as spontaneous protests.

It's quite nice to see NYT telling the non-hackers to worry, because I've been trying to explain that to them ever since Google bought Dejanews and with the help of NYT and others they're finally starting to understand.
Sorry you disagree mate!

There are thousands happy users who are seeing real results, I don't know what else to say.

Please don't forget that the average user doesn't know how to lift weights, and doesn't want to pay $50-150/training session. FitnessAI offers a real alternative.

>> Your app would be 100x better if I simply were able to input my One Rep Maxes and then have it spit out a 3 month plan of 5x5 training starting around 70% of my max increasing my loads by 5% a week, with a deload week every 4-6 weeks. Perhaps adding in weeks with 3x5, and 3x3 as it gets near max. However, as you likely know, no one is going to pay monthly for that.

FitnessAI basically does a variation of this, but it's informed by data rather than being anecdotal

> Some people have died while using elevators

For some reason I forgot about this in an earlier comment I made about people wanting someone to blame.

But here we have what could be argued as a "simplest version of self-driving vehicle, with no human operator at the controls, and no one to immediately blame when somebody is hurt or killed by the system"...

So the question is - has there been a study done on how people respond to such incidents, when they have no one to blame? At least, in the moment? They can't "yell at the elevator". Eventually, they may yell at the owner of the property or the manufacturer of the elevator, or whatever company last did maintenance (ie - yell -> lawsuit).

But does that stop them from using elevators ever again (I imagine that a percentage do become fearful; I know I read something of that nature regarding people who've been "trapped" for a long period of time in an elevator, especially those who are alone when it happens)?

Also - why do others continue to use elevators, and not take the stairs (this is more a rhetorical question - stairs are not an option in a skyscraper over more than a few stories for most people)?

I'm just interested in why a self-driving car is so different to people, beyond the relative "novelty" of it? Will we completely reject it, because it can't be made 100% perfect? Or will we get used to them in time, even though statistically someone somewhere will die occasionally from an accident in one?

I'm not looking for answers here; it's just something that I ponder when these kinds of discussions come up, as I've had a bit of minor experience in learning about (and how to create) these kinds of systems.
Obviously you don't "upload performance" from the internet. But Tesla (and many other companies) often figure out how to squeeze more from existing hardware with tweaks to how the device operates. It's the same reason software patches can make a program or device feel faster. The device didn't get any faster, but the developers figured out how to do more with the same hardware.
Was going to downvote but this probably merits a reply.

All your points are correct, but you're not responding to the point that SDCs can be superior to buses for those low-capacity times. If it were one or the other, then yes, buses could be less pollution on average, but that doesn't address the case the parent was talking about.
Something like that wouldn't fly in Germany for example.

LMAO. Literally laughed out loud. Yeah, no way this could happen in Germany /s.
I can do all those things. But what about the 99.9% of internet users who are not tech-savvy enough?
Completely agree.

Cities exist because of people/trade/geography, occasionally humans miss a place, or something about the above changes and centrally planning one works.

And the reverse happens too, climate change, technology, and movement of people can all *end a city.

England has this in a microcosm in the north. Huge great cities sprung and died on the change in technology. America is going through the same process with Detroit and rust belt.
It's absolutely important to separate the concept of 'requiring ID to vote' and the concept of 'encouraging everyone to have ID', as you point out. ID is useful for many different things. Voter ID laws have an obvious historical impact and can be assumed bad at this point, but we shouldn't allow that to turn us negative on IDs in general. They're too essential in modern society.
There is no review system. There is a brief delay in publishing but only due to some sort of automated process. Not that it would matter if they reviewed it, since it’s easy to obfuscate things. I knew “someone” with a Chrome extension that had over 80k users and it would hijack the users’ reddit accounts to silently issue spaced out fake upvotes via commands issued by a C&C server. The users were being utilized as vote bots to force things to the front page. This went on for over a year and only stopped because the person lost interest in doing it.

Any popular extension that asks for access to all site data can and will do terrible things without telling you. They can and will embed secret scripts in all your sites that do whatever they want. In 2008 we called this UXSS, now we call it a feature. The Hola bot net fiasco is a good example of this. Popular extensions like Grammarly are obviously doing something incredibly shady too, how else can a free spell checker afford a massive polished ad campaign and earn tens of millions of dollars. It’s okay though, they won’t get in trouble because a short phrase on page 1273 of their EULA grants them permission to do so.

Anyone saying the solution is to pay close attention to the permissions dialog and refuse to install anything asking for full access to all sites is likely on the spectrum and has no clue how 99% of ordinary people think or act.

It was very exciting when autonomous vehicles from a handful of companies first began demonstrating the ability to go a few miles in complex traffic and pull off a few fancy maneuvers along the way. I got really excited when I saw that, and for the engineers building these systems, it did go to their heads, and timelines to scaled deployment went from being 20 years away to being 5 years away in the span of 18 months.

When deep learning and simulation were first applied huge gains were made, and the limits of these tools were not fully understood. Now that these tools are better understood, we are back to old fashioned robotics development timelines. You gotta build features, and test them, over and over, down to a very granular level. Every time you roll out into a new geography, there is a new mountain of problems to be solved. To drive the error rate down another order of magnitude, the workload goes up exponentially relative to what was needed to achieve the previous order of magnitude. It's like inverse Moore's law.

Boston Dynamics had bipedal robots balancing dynamically and walking around in the early 1980s. 35 years later, now that we have a billion times more compute to throw at the problem, well, BD's robots are still mostly just walking around, and far from being good enough to walk around in the real world. That's the real rate of progress in robotics. The prospect of autonomous vehicles has drawn billions of dollars of investment towards solving these fundamental robotics problems, and certainly that has accelerated things, but how long does the money need to keep coming in for before it starts paying out? That's anybody's guess.
I think you're contriving viewpoints that simply aren't there. Nobody is talking about Trump, rather people are enjoying the irony of the US being one of the countries that subsidizes the most yet complaining about other countries.

On another note, I think your headline is fine. After all, surely the secret service is capable of non-lethally incapacitating a man with a machete. But even if not, it's false equivocation.
