Airbus learned this the hard way in this incident:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XL_Airways_Germany_Flight_888T

which I think had to do with New Zealand regulators following up on

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qantas_Flight_72

A group of New Zealand pilots and regulators pressured a
German pilot to test the envelope protection systems during
a simulated emergency landing (so well simulated that the
pilot did not seem to know where he was going ahead of time)

The AoA vanes were out of commission with this aircraft, the flight protection system malfunctioned and the plane flew into the ground.

That is, the danger got caught on a test flight and only 7 were killed. Compare that to the problem happening on not one but two revenue flights.

Had the FAA required that pilots ride out an MCAS failure in a simulator they probably would have learned that pilots could not ride out an MCAS failure before passengers were put at risk.

Yes. Since I automatically ignore anything in the carousel anyway, I'd much prefer that AMP be nonexistent regardless of what that means for the carousel.

It looks like a lower tier than the existing Coldline and Nearline (7x cheaper for storage than the former). Both have a minimum period, so this one is likely to have one as well. Coldline and Nearline are more expensive than regular storage when fetching objects, which means ice cold storage is probably even more expensive when you restore (is it going to be 7x, too, keeping symmetry?).
Hmm...if it works that way it seems quite easy to determine if it is working -- if it isn't swiveling then it is probably broken. Perhaps also you could make an active version of this sensor where there's a stepper that pushes it a bit either side of the current neutral position, then measure resistance to that push with a strain gauge. It might be possible to thereby know that you're pushing against flowing air, not bird guts jammed in the mechanism, for example.
Protected bike lanes are key. I commute to work by bike, and use biking as my main form of transportation. My city has created many bike lanes, and encourages bikers to prefer those roads. Unfortunately, bike lanes have really just become double parking zones for delivery workers, ride shares, and people just who don't feel like looking for a proper parking space while their partner shops. Having to go around people double parked in the bike lane feels much more dangerous than biking on a regular street, since I have to go out into the middle of the road to pass them.
I cycle somewhere between 20 and 35 km/hour; that's faster than scooters and most electric bikes. It's way faster for me to cycle to the supermarket, the gym and the kids daycare compared to driving.

It beats being lazy in a car and I'm very thankful that the infrastructure here in NL supports it.

I think it’s well-enough implied by ‘crashes’. Regular 737s haven’t been crashing recently.
It will be interesting to see what effect this has. A few things I predict:

1. The price of housing with off-street parking will rise even faster now.

2. A lot of off-street parking in the neighborhoods will be eliminated, forcing some people who have to drive to work outside the city to move.

3. The speeds of cars will increase because the roads will feel wider
>I don’t believe there is pain. All the studies in the US have shown that improving biking infrastructure immediately improves retail sales

That generalization is vague to the point of uselessness. It really depends on the nature of the business in question.

I'm proposing another classification system based on a simple binary checkbox named "Telegraphist of the state department" and I am putting the entirety of mainstream media in it.
This is a shift from car centricity to a transport centricity for roads. Looking back in time we had one from horses to trolleys to cars. Now we could be beginning to see them in a broader light. Transport is growing now to include all kinds of electrified (and Rapid!) transit, eg scooters, ebikes, hoverboard... When i lived in Cambridge, ell before the concept of a protected lane, bicycling was commonly known and utilized as the fastest means of transport: the pinnacle of sneakernet.

> We also know Assange was one of their stooges

No we don't. Stop spreading propaganda. Even if they were the source, there's no evidence that Assange knew who the source was.

> Read the indictments.

Indictments != convictions.
https://www.justice.gov/usao-edva/press-release/file/1153481...

So basically the allegations are primarily that Manning provided Assange with a hashed password, and Assange tried, and failed, to determine the corresponding plain text password. This somehow involved Manning using a Linux OS (off a CD). I'm not clear how a fresh Linux OS would help bypass admin privileges and access a hashed password.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Manning did not have administrative-level privileges and used special software, namely a Linux operating system, to access the computer file and obtain the portion of the password provided to Assange.

>"Progressives" rail against stereotypes, but they're useful and we naturally form them for a reason - they help us survive. The problem is with people applying stereotypes formed in one environment to another environment where they're not applicable. Just keep that in mind when you're trying to be "woke."

Even if stereotypes acted as a survival mechanism in the past by providing a quick and dirty filter to judge threats through naive correlation and pattern matching, I don't believe they remain useful in the modern world. Modern stereotypes tend to be politically and culturally derived, rather than being the result of natural selection pressure, and so don't actually affect human survival so much as effect the survival of regressive human ideologies.

> You won't find a cyclist who opposes dedicated, protected lanes that are separate from roads and sidewalks.

"Vehicular cyclists" are opposed to bike lanes and are not uncommon. See elsewhere in this thread for discussion of them. I consider myself roughly 1/2 vehicular, 1/2 infrastructural. Both camps have good points.

If these sensors have a common failure mode (eg. always showing lowest possible value after blowing up), this could be bad. If they just produce junk, it's unlikely they would agree, and MCAS would be turned off.
>Not likely.

I know that it’s not likely. But a lot of people do think that the allegations were manufactured by the CIA. As I said, it is really difficult, with so many people commenting, to figure out exactly which conspiracy theory is under discussion at any given point.

>Not really.

I don’t mean that it’s physically impossible. I mean that it would have created an enormous international incident if the CIA abducted Assange without the cooperation of the Swedish Police, or if the Swedish Police had collaborated with the CIA to disappear a suspect in an ongoing criminal investigation. Take a look at the case of Ahmed Agiza and Muhammad al-Zery in 2006. The rendition of two Egyptians that no-one has heard of caused enough of a diplomatic incident that Sweden stopped CIA rendition flights.
Wow. I'm guessing the parsing of the .xml feed file is badly broken? If the string was getting passed somehow as the first argument to something like sprintf(), I could see a crash happening, but the first argument should be a fixed format string, not incoming data.
Mobile was really based on an entirely different Windows system architecture than the "legacy" desktop people all know and love. In addition to that, making handset UX from scratch has shown to cause a lot of fun bad experiences as seen with the (much more mainstream-appealing) open Linux handset attempts.

It'd be a great use case to have such a thing for NT-on-ARM, but I don't see this as much more than quick hacks to waste some time, especially with the 855 and 8cx SoCs diverging again so that the brief peak of binary driver sharing being possible is pretty much gone again...

In the US, I guarantee you that the vast majority of people have never been on a train. In a few select cities the number will drop if you include subways and other commuter trains, but the general conclusion is the same.
I've written about this earlier. People get seriously nasty in their cars. I've seen them honk at my 8 yr old daughter crossing the street from her school to come home.
The first line of your post is not necessary, and against HN guidelines. Your post doesn't need such either as it stands on its own. It only weakens your argument as an appeal to pity. Don't do that please.
I think people get consistently annoyed when blanket credit is given to eg Elon Musk regarding SpaceX (as though he's an aerospace god that did it all by himself), and when far too much credit was given to Steve Jobs regarding the iPhone. SpaceX is a case where Gwynne Shotwell deserves a chunk of the credit that is typically thrown at Musk by the media (because his stardom sells).

It's not that they don't deserve their fair share of credit, to be clear. It's that they do not deserve the level of overwhelming credit the media intentionally tries to bestow upon them, to create an idol that sells / generates clicks.

You pretty well see it in every thread regarding those two people. The hype train tries to give them credit, whether the media or fans, and other people get annoyed by it and call it out because it's obviously ridiculous to so overly credit such vast accomplishments requiring thousands of contributors to a given individual.

> Race has no medical definitions

On the contrary, race is extremely useful information in certain medical contexts. Black Americans have different risk profiles for certain cardio-vascular conditions than white Americans. And European Jews suffer a higher incidence of certain recessive genetic diseases (so much so that genetic screening is basically routine for couples where both parents have Ashkenazi ancestry).
I love Norwegian political scandals. Compared to American scandals, they are just nothing but people are held accountable anyways. I would love to see some American politicians career ended because they took their phone to a country they should not have.
Is it unreasonable?

One can learn to drive defensively, and be able to spot the said dipshit in advance, decreasing the likelihood of collision.

Yes, not in all cases, but there's a bell curve. As humans, we can read other humans.

Robots aren't inherently bad either. I love my Roomba precisely because if it fails, it fails predictably. I can and do make my apartment Roomba-friendly.

But the self-driving deep learning-driven cars don't have this feature. They fail unpredictabily, as in your example. We don't have an understanding of what really drives the decision-making there. And we keep discovering failure modes as they manifest.

One day, the car might think the river is a road. Another, it will not recognize a road block as such. But only if it's a Tuesday. Or something. We really don't know.

So I don't think we'll get acclimated to that. Unpredictable failure is a reasonable thing to be afraid of.
Ballot harvesting is not de facto bad. It can help increase turnout with indigent, disabled, and elderly.

However, what happen in North Carolina was 1) ballot harvesting 2) alteration of the harvested ballots. They picked up the ballots and then changed the ballots they collected

Did that happen in California?
Amazing Approach, thanks for sharing
it's more that they're built on differential forms and the exterior derivative. for a reference, see section 4.6 and problem 19.13 of an introduction to manifolds by loring tu. this is also covered in gauge fields, knots and gravity by baez and muniain and in much detail in foundations of classical electrodynamics by hehl and obukhov.
Nah, I find this to be is suicidal. Not to mention, that even when I get away with this kind of behaviour, the drivers stuck in traffic will be irritated by it and might not be as considerate to the next cyclist passing by.

I'd rather stay on the right, if traffic is too bad I would get off the bicycle and walk the intersection until traffic clears.

No, to what? The book is not an advocacy for Taliban.
The fine for parking your car in a bike lane should really be a tow. Predatory towing companies in my town can grab a car in 10 minutes; it's spooky. They even have scouts. I feel like towing companies should be chomping at the bit to get action on this parking ignorance with bike lanes, which seems to be universal in any city with them.

So horse-drawn carriages don't need roads? I guess the Romans just built these for fun, then.
Amazing idea, do you plan any new feautures soon?
It's normal here in the US too, but that the problem people have. Vehicular cycling can really only be used by the strongest bikers, mostly young, mostly male riders. It excludes slower, older, and younger riders who might be intimidated by sharing a road with aggressive drivers going 45+ mph who pass with less than 3 feet of space.

Cambridge has a fleet of sidewalk plows (About 30" wide) that are also used for plowing paths and bike lanes. In the winter they are a godsend.

In a snow emergency (i.e. when cars are forced off one side of the street for plowing), the vertical barriers can be manually removed.
I wonder when they will do that to dogs ^^

But they do talk to IT people when they write stories about IT things, don't they?

I'm all with you that it doesn't change the story's correctness one bit, but it does question the self-awareness of journalists as part of companies. Unless it's a secret move to get people to focus on the stuff their organisation does which they can't publicly comment on for fear of being sacked (by the ads people, presumably), that would be quite different.

From the article:

> The book is, however, upbeat and, finally, optimistic. Unapologetically drawing on historical tradition and even modern philosophy, Smolin proposes a new set of principles that applies to both quantum mechanics and space-time. He then explores how these principles might be realized as part of a fundamental theory of nature, although he stops short of supplying details of the implementation.

That's nice. Too bad QM doesn't care about tradition, philosophy, or your feelings.

> Smolin concludes with the implications of all this for our understanding of space and time. He suggests that time is irreversible and fundamental, in the sense that the processes by which future events are produced from present ones are truly basic: they do not need to be explained in terms of more basic ideas. Space, however, is different. He argues that it emerges from something deeper.

Smolin routinely bullshits, and does not back up much with rigorous theory. He attempts to make a name for himself in a publish-or-perish field by getting his ridiculously unsupported and contrarian ideas traction in the press.

In short, he's all talk, with no substance to back it up.

They say currently around 10% of the estimated total number of 5G base stations to cover countrywide installed. So it only works in Seoul, the capital city in Korea. They estimate 5G will cover the whole country in 2023.

FYI, because of its frequency characteristics, the cover range of a 5G station is much shorter than that of a 4G station, almost one-fourth of 4G. So much more base stations required than 4G.
This is incredible. Rules of engagement are in profound need of overhaul. This is nothing less than a military attack on the US, via computer.

I found some interesting points in the list. Bear in mind these are advertisers who got your info outside of Facebook. So while car dealerships are fairly prevalent across the board, I found most of them in my list were dealerships from the brand of car I own. Clearly somewhere along the line of purchasing my car, my email address got associated with "people who buy that kind of car", though I found it odd so many dealerships not in my local area were on the list.
Wild guess -- Rep. & Dem. political parties are more motivated by self-serving interests than guided by any sustained principles.

Sending out money from china can be a real pain. The government requires a contract be on file. I’m dealing with this right now on the receiving end as US citizen. Apparently there are certain cases like paying US engineers which get rubber stamp approval, but there’s been some inconsistencies in payments that make me wonder if it’s partly due to invoices being higher than expected than the contract on file.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I pointed you to the book written by an eminent physicist explaining precisely why mathematics is unreasonably effective if mathematics were not somehow intrinsic to existence.
