Yea sort of. I mean I said I liked the episode, I just think this part is bad form (I'm paraphrasing):

>why can you expect it to look like this? well because it's just going to look like this.

Now, I'm not trying to say his prediction was unwise. I just think it's first of all bad form to say something like "the reason is just trust me," in scientific discussions (even if you are correct)... but second I actually do want to know at least some explanation to that question.
Granted, I'm not saying the video does not explain anything about the image. I wanted to know: why can we be sure it will look like this, and not other simulated images?

That's all.

You can see on the EHT's own website a gallery of other simulated models of what could be expected from a radio image.

And the second part of my criticism, was that by the end of the video, he was using images inspired by other models, and particularly of one where the accretion disk dominated the image.

I dont care how many downvotes I get, I know the difference between right and wrong and this is a perfectly reasonable criticism.

Anyways, since my posts lost 60 karma in 1 hour somehow (almost uniformly coming from posts in other threads, wtf?) some other opportunistic types see it as a chance for bullying. Even writing stuff like 'you've obviously got your jimmies rustled mate!' or other extremely bad faith assumptions like 'if you cant understand why it's fuzzy, it's far away!' The best is the troll bait comment, 'do you really think one person is downvoting you?' Groupthink, bullying, and authority define right and wrong for some people--they can't even write something that even addresses an actual comment or argument. People are crazy. Eventually they just start addressing the negativity itself, abandoning any substantive argument, and focusing on the negativity itself. The next step is using the negativity as its own justification (you deserve negativity because otherwise you wouldnt be receiving negativity kind of assumptions implicig in the above troll bait comment).

But still all that I dont think explains why comments in unrelated posts (even ones that were being complimented) got the same time-unform mass-downvotes?? I think I haven't experienced anything like this before on this site until recently. I lost 60 karma in the a few hours.
>Why is live-listening impractical at scale?

Because there is no value in doing so. A person could collect all the spare change thrown into fountains at shopping malls, but they don’t.
Throwaway for a Google search engineer here. I can tell you we aren’t interested in that at search as a signal, but publishers who are interested can run their own analytics through our platform. I’m not aware of any that do it to that level of granular detail.
I would take away something different.

In a healthy software "marketplace", there would be plenty of browser competition and such blocking would be totally ineffective. It wouldn't matter if companies had the power to censor the internet or not because people could just switch.
AoA disagree does not imply airspeed disagree. Indicated airspeed is purely a pitot and static pressure driven measurement. AoA is there largely as part of the anti-stall warning system, e.g. driving the stick shaker/pusher. An important point of having AoA sensors is to provide a stall warning systems that is independent of IAS, you don't want these systems crossed with each other.

B737 airspeed disagree I believe just requires 5 knots disagreement for more than 5 seconds between left/right IAS. No AoA involved.

There may be some confusion happening due to the events in the Lion Air B737 Max. The maintenance crew tried to address what they believed were ADIRU/ADR issues in previous flights... including as a possible source of erratic airspeed indications and airspeed disagree warnings. So there are some discussions of airspeed disagree in relation to that aircraft. There may be a lot going on there we don't know about yet, with say faulty ADIRU/ADR causing multiple problems. The ADIRU has inputs from the AoA vane but does not use that in calculating airspeed, it is using that to drive stick shakers/pushers and optional display AoA, and unfortunately in these cases to also drive MCAS.

Having a AoA disagree indication (and/or full AoA display option) might have allowed more prompt diagnosis of problems, but only if pilots were aware of and trained on MCAS. And even then, yes it's a minor point. I was not intending to claim that itself is a deep solution here, just not having a disagree warning as standard was a bad decision. The entire system, and overall approach taken by Boeing seems tragically deeply flawed.

I think we have a good definition of news. It's been called "the first draft of history" which makes sense since like most first drafts, most of it is garbage and needs to be thrown out.
AMP limits what the page can do, and allows Google to safely serve content through a cache. So Google can preload and prerender the page in an iframe. As a result clicks on the carousel are literally instant. That can't be done safely with a regular HTML page.
Exodus Spyware Found Targeting Apple iOS Users
You were a user acting in bad faith that very literally jumped in at the end just to write a troll bait comment in that thread. Your comment had nothing substantive to even do with any discussion, or even any relation to anything I said.

There is nothing complex about my original statement there. The EHT website itself has a gallery of simulated images and I'd like to know why he chose that one specifically.

In the video he says "just trust me."

This is a perfectly reasonable criticism, I don't care how many downvotes or personal attacks I get.

It has nothing to do with anyone "being patient." That thread was 90% bullying, which you are taking part of.
You seem to have confused 1421 with 1491. The latter is generally considered to be a well-researched book while the former is, as you say, merely a grand tale.

I've been saying this for years: censorship, like many things, has been privatized. Things like the First Amendment in the US are inadequate for the modern age, because the majority of our discourse touches multiple intermediary businesses on its way between individuals.

There is no "just herpderp yourself" when communication and publication in our digital society involves information coming in contact with a handful of middlemen who can tamper.

I thought USCIS was only after Indian companies.

I believe the current administration is trying to make h1b life as hard as possible. I remember the president saying something to the effect of 'he will make the people voluntarily deport'. I was working for an Indian company and got RFE for my extension. The RFE looked like a copy paste, didn't even have my employer name correct. May be the USCIS employees were overloaded. Because of the RFE, I couldn't renew my licence. I went to the DMV and asked if I can get a temporary licence. They told me that DMV used to give 2 months temporary, but they recently stopped it. It was no fun living without licence for 3 months, especially after bad experiences with Uber a few times. I used to stock my refrigerator with as much food as possible whenever I could get a lift from my colleague and was rationing everything so that I can limit the number of grocery store visits (I didn't want to use Uber after my first Uber grocery run ended up with a drop in my Uber rating and after learning from /r/uber that drivers don't like grocery runs)

Google isn’t the web. To make the point that they’re dictating web standards is like saying that walmart makes people sick by only placing unhealthy products on their end caps. Like it or not, it is Google’s store and if you don’t like it, sell your wares in the Whole Foods down the street (duck duck go) or find a more creative channel than SEO (Instagram, podcasts, Twitter, etc).
It's certainly been my experience. I mean not exactly that level, but yeah. I told my manager the work I was doing was boring, and that I'd consider switching teams, and he worked to find work that was more interesting to me.

Then I also started working with one of the other teams I find interesting, and I now spend (more than) 20% of my time working with that team on various things.

>>The point is that you have no moral obligation to read the news and learn about the suffering of distant people in some ill conceived attempt to try and empathize with them. Humans aren’t built that way. You don’t have a generalized obligation to inform yourself about the abstract struggles of others and give up your own priorities in some token gesture of support for those people.

Wow! Forget about the grandparent's post. This, right here, is the actual position of privilege.

You're right, Rayiner, if you're privileged enough, you don't have to care about people with whom you share the same city, state, or country. After all, why would you? You have a pretty sweet life to live, and your own hobbies, your own goals, aspirations, and things you derive pleasure and satisfaction from. Why bother learning about the suffering of others, especially those with whom you will, thanks to your privileged position, never interact? You can just adopt a completely self-serving set of morals and ethics, and tell yourself that you don't have any obligation to care about those people, because, after all, you bought a Macbook instead of spending that money to help them, right? Your actions have already demonstrated your true loyalties, and if you go around pretending that you care about something other than yourself, then you're just being a hypocrite!

Suffice it to say, one does not need to be an HN-famous appellate lawyer to spot the severe flaws in this logic.

Here's where I stand: people have both a moral obligation and a civic duty to be informed about what is going on around them, because it is a prerequisite of having a successful, effective and cohesive society. This doesn't mean everyone has to sit in front of their computer spamming F5 on their favorite news outlets every 10 minutes for the latest breaking news or whatever. But if one disconnects from all news, and remains willfully ignorant and uninformed about major events and the important issues of our time, and the experiences (both positive and negative) of those they share communities and societies and nations with, then what the hell is the point of having those things?
I'll be ripping all of the wemo devices out next week. Then I'll be able to test if it's a one-off, or if they really are that far out of compliance.
The problem in these situations is that your were offered "stock" as in a portion of the equity of the company, and given a complex financial instrument with undefined terms and indeterminate payout. You felt screwed when you discovered you'd been given something worth 1/20th of the dollar value.

Startups have effectively given away their biggest talent attraction, why bother working for a high risk startup for "options" when you can work for a steady growing FANG with liquidity and real "equity"? From a talent acquisition perspective it doesn't make sense.

I suspect laziness is a major factor. Half assed keyword searches and threatening emails are easy to implement. A real process with reasonable review and court oversight would take a lot of work.
One thing I love about Banksy is the consistency of the impact. Every time I see images in succession it always feels like each image has the same impact as the last. Maybe it's because it's a maximum impact but I'm not sure... it's very consistent and it's that feeling, of professionalism, I'm more impressed with than the actual work.
That no one would buy shares in the new company, making it worth dramatically less than the old one
To clarify, were you expecting a 20x payout on your stock, or was the payout was 20x less than what you were expecting? Either way, sounds like you got bamboozled when you signed the offer letter. I'd almost always take a higher salary at a startup. The vast majority of startups aren't anywhere near Facebook or Google.
Forgot? Better? Neither of those things is supported by the final report, the cockpit voice or flight data recorders.

The occurrence of the failure in the context of flight in cruise completely surprised the pilots of flight AF 447.

Which pilot needed to be better?

The crew, progressively becoming de-structured, likely never understood that it was faced with a “simple” loss of three sources of airspeed information.

and

de-structuring of crew cooperation fed on each other until the total loss of cognitive control of the situation

OK so you need two better pilots, right? And what specifically would make them better in your view?

The final report is pretty clear, the most relevant cause bullets are on page 203, there's no need to speculate and provide your own version. It very clearly cites training deficiencies, cockpit ergonomics in that there was no clear display of airspeed inconsistencies and flight director indications that could have led the crew to believe their actions were correct even though they weren't, and significant simulator deficiencies.

The training and ergonomics basically set them up to be shocked at the situation they were in upon autopilot disconnect.

BEA even blame regulatory oversight of Air France for an inspection regime that failed to identify any of the rather numerous problems BEA found across the board.

Pinning this accident on a pilot is inappropriate.
I noted the same things when I was going through burnout. I also noted that no one in my life used or even really knew about what I did. It felt like telling people I had a Canadian girlfriend. People are pretty sure I really do have a job but who knows what it is.

So not only is the physical aspect of the job missing, the produced artifacts of your labours don't exist in your community either. It is like leaving your community for 8+ hours a day.

Lastly, it is demonstrably ephemeral. Websites, apps, documents, spreadsheets, reports. It's all obsolete so fast that it can feel pointless having put so much effort in the first time.

I love software and I love working in competent teams and making cool stuff. But I think it needs to be balanced with doing real world things within your community.
I don’t disagree with your first paragraph. As to your second, I think that’s part of the problem: those people with first hand knowledge are often relaying a sound bite, a piece of packaged narrative. And the journalist doesn’t know enough to really add anything to that narrative. That may be a limitation of journalism, but I question whether given that limitation, journalism is a useful vehicle for educating the public about the highly complex issues that underpin our society.

(Someone on HN changed my mind recently by pointing out that, while judges sometimes invoke history, they are generally bad historians. It was a thought provoking assertion, because it’s not uncommon for judges to justify opinions by reference to economics or social science. But they have neither the training nor time and procedural flexibility to do a good job of such analysis. My conclusion was, therefore, that such analysis simply isn’t useful. I think journalism might suffer from the same problem.)
I think the most fundamental issue here is that organisations are rebuilding their websites with AMP to align to Google search, when Google search is not the only search product available (much as you could believe otherwise from the discussion!).

How did all the work this company did add any value for someone using DuckDuckGo, Bing, Ecosia, etc considering the site was already fast?

This type of activity is a bad outcome.
Dumb question. How do we know it's a new species and not just humans with particular genetic traits?

For example, if a million years from now, someone was to dig up a bunch of bones from a dog kennel, what would they make of all the different bones from Irish wolfhounds down to sausage dogs?
But you can just ignore the news and vote Democrat and get the same effect. It’s not like those yuppies were going to vote Republican until the NYT opened their eyes.

vi has named buffers, which aren’t the same thing you’re talking about, but definitely more than a single clipboard

Same for vi. In nvi it’s :E for vertically stacked or :vsplit for side-by-side. Like emacs, you can even run an interactive shell in a buffer (frame) and cut/copy/paste with another.

I presume you’re talking Tramp. Not out of the box with nvi, but it interacts with the Unix shell fantastically if you’re lucky enough to be developing in such an env. I’d be surprised if vim doesn’t have a decent Tramp-like feature.

I think vim does columnar edits, but I’m not a vim user; nvi is out of luck there, unless again one finds a solution punting to the shell - which isn’t the end of the world. But this case I think would disappoint you the most from your feature list (speaking for nvi).
AMP has totally ruined the internet for desktop users. ~90% of AMP sites don't even provide a link to the full desktop version of the page (unless you want to dig through the source code of the page, but even then it is hit and miss), and AMP sites are linked to more and more on social media sites like reddit.

Is this controlling Istio under the hood?
Yep. I have formatters and linters run on save in vim (of course, any editor or IDE can handle this) and the linters render their results in vim, as well. I also use vim-dispatch [0] to handle running builds and test suites asynchronously, but I don't run any auto commands for that, instead preferring to kick those tasks off with a keystroke.

My workflow is crafted in a way to give me, what I have found to be, the tightest feedback loop that I can possibly get with the languages and frameworks and tooling that I use at work. I find that vim, out of every other editor or IDE that I've ever used, is set apart in it's ability to deliver on that requirement.

That's a useful list, thanks for sharing. What would be useful is if there was just a distribution of Vim that just had everything included for a specific language. Or at least a base and then a way to discover and add more from within Vim.
This is what you should be distributing anyways. The first is the investor memo, and it should go out before the pitch. Then you take your deck and go in person for the pitch. Then people will have Q&A time, get to know the company at a more personal level, and not spend their time there reading.
Wait, you can just not give this up by not buying one and not hanging out with your friends who have these.

Why do you want to impose this on the rest of us? Why can't I just let people give me this useful service in my own home?
