My characterisation of DIY as “Damage It Yourself” might seem a bit mean, but it very much represents the (admittedly biased) statistical feedback we as a sector get from those who choose this route. As somebody remarks further down, competence in these kinds of home-maintenance activities generally derives from experience “earned the hard way”.

Obviously DIY and the attendant issues are entirely absent from the industrial sector, which I spend most of my time frequenting.

When it comes to ethics, I care way more about stuff like "not exploiting workers or the environment".

Most of the "ethics" here are pretty academic, and don't have a real impact on actual people. I'd love a version of this site that does the same thing for ethically produced goods (there are a number of sites like that out there, but none are this clean, and they tend to focus on specific niches (clothing, etc)).
The author draws a very unsubtle if not direct line between housing costs and homelessness. Is there any? I was under the impression that most of the homeless are mentally ill and/or transplants from other areas. What percent of them just can't afford the rent?
I don't think it's at all useful to society conceived of as the best a society could be, but there's no doubt it's useful to capital. Either way, I'm not sure if merely being useful to society is sufficient to justify that level of energy usage.
Routine Traffic Stops Should Not Be Used to Fight Violent Crime
The article omits SB 50 [1], the effort by Scott Wiener (state senator from SF) to increase housing density and remove regulatory hurdles for housing development near transit.

From what I’ve seen it’s the most promising method to increase housing supply CA-wide given that many municipalities resist development.

SF used to having a thriving black population. It has declined for decades due to exclusionary housing policies that have forced low/middle income earners out of the city, which disproportionately affects minorities.

But to you question, diversity in tech has little to do with the ethnic makeup of the Bay Area. This is a transient town...people come here to work from all over and it's a completely separate issue.
Yes, the homepage for Go is similar https://golang.org/
Here’s what I don’t get. The real struggle seems to always be against local governments and the residents. The residents all know how jacked up it is and have good ideas for fixes, but constantly butt heads against their city.

Somehow everybody knows this, but votes in people who increase the power, scope, and responsibility of the local government which works against their interest?
How about when OP repeatedly talked about the old school days of Instagram, where nobody was interested in doing whatever it takes for fame and money.
Oh man, I've had government provided automatic filings for ages now (Finland). US is really odd how it emphasizes the benefit of the middleman over the benefit of the individual citizen (it seems). Or have I completely misunderstood what's going on here?
No, be upfront with your definition, engage in discussion, and don't patronize criticisms.

You don't get to proclaim something ethical and then move along. That's close-minded and ripe for abuse.

I never said it doesn't happen, which seems to be the strawman most people are responding to. However, there is a huge gap between "it happens" and

which I indicates this is common and typical.
Isn't there's a 3. for airplanes - the constant force required to keep the plane in the sky? Cars don't have that, and there's going to be a particular speed at which that speed / time ratio changes for a plane compared to a car.

Also, is it necessarily fuel costs behind the decision to steer away from 747, or could it be other costs, like plane utility and capacity, parts and service cost, and the requirements of cross training?
> stop excluding it from fuel taxation

Problem for this is that it needs coordination at least on a continent-spanning scale. If the UK decides to tax av fuel but any one of the Netherlands or France or Germany don't, Heathrow stops being a hub airport pretty damn quick, hurting both the economy and the flight options of southern England.

Just like with corporate taxes, countries have an incentive for a race to the bottom, so coordinated action is needed.

What's preventing a OSS solution to this? What I can think of off the top of my head:

* Lack of e-file permission

* Lack of any kind of legal recourse or audit protection for the user

* Constantly changing tax system

After a casual search on GitHub I see a few calculator projects but nothing serious.

I'd be down to help make a free competitor to Intuit. I see no reason to use a non-static site unless it's to keep previous years data, but that's iffy and sounds like it requires a whole other legal consideration.
I think that the work-around for this problem is an online tax filing service like that offered by Credit Karma, which like their credit score reporting service is supported by ad revenue rather than by charging a fee for the service.
The answer is pretty simple: we must pay for those services.
I've never really thought about it quite this way before, but: pure functional systems basically want to ignore time. In some contexts this is ok or even desirable, but in other contexts it is counterproductive and futile.

Time is pretty critical to physical reality, one way or another, and the closer you get to it with lower and lower-level language systems, the harder it is to ignore.

It seems to me there needs to be some very basic computational/mathematical theory that integrates time more fundamentally into language/instructional design without being procedural per se. There probably is one but I don't know what it is, or am not recognizing it for what it is.

I'm not sure libraries are a good counter example. They're less free than "free" internet, because they cost real money from the user in the form of taxes. If you asked someone if they'd rather have their library plastered with ads and get their $50/year back in county/city taxes that goes to the library, many/most would likely say yes.
I don’t think forks are the issue.

MSHTML and EdgeHTML are also used as embedded components in non-browser windows software. (E.g. you can write UWP applications powered by JavaScript and rendering UI using EdgeHTML). Gecko supposedly doesn’t work well for embedding in that context.
The USF is charged to providers. Providers can seek to recover some of that through a USF line item on the bill, but that's just optical cover. The actual burden of the tax is split between the provider and customer according to the relative elasticity of supply versus demand: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/tax_incidence.asp. (While I'm not aware of a specific study on the issue, telecom service subject to the USF has low elasticity both on the supply side and demand side, so it's probably a reasonable assumption that AT&T is bearing a big chunk of the tax incidence.)

As to broadband subsidies: prior to 2011, the universal service fund only covered subsidies for broadband to schools and libraries, through the e-rate program. It wasn't until 2011 that the USF started subsidizing broadband generally through the Connect America Fund.
This statistic is misleading. Throughout the filing process consumers are bombarded with opportunities to upgrade to a paid tier. They make paying more the default option and demote the controls to continue using the free version to have secondary or cancel-like styling. I had to constantly back out and go back to the free version, because I accidentally opted into a paid tier.

Another reason might be that "automatically" filling in your details from uploaded / linked documents is often a paid feature. I uploaded a doc it asked for, it showed me the info, then when I opted for the free tier it cleared the data and made me type it in myself.
You're shifting the goalposts. Lack of protection against invasion doesn't mean you're going to get invaded. Maintaining a standing army isn't protection against invasion either.

Sorry, not familiar with CA politics ... is the subtext here that a land-value tax would be impossible without a constitutional amendment? Or that California already enacted a 1% ad valorem tax in the 70s?

From what I can tell, Prop 13 seems generally popular[0], but could see an argument that it exacerbates the housing shortage in the Bay Area, so not sure which way you're pointing.

Hey all, I started this little initiative a few months ago where a few parents wanted to actively take part in preparing the children for the times to come, in hopefully a balanced way.

We have created this blog in the hope that our learnings and failings might help other parents. We started off with this document https://handsonparent.com/2019/04/01/what-is-hands-on-parent... that kinda shows our core aims.

I would be extremely happy to receive any feedback on the content and the initiative as a whole.

(I'm blocking all of those, but requesting them could lead to additional requests.)

(I don't block the third-party for Cloudfront, where you seem to host Wordpress.)

(The third-party request purporting to be for privacy is arguably counterproductive.)

(I thought I saw a Google/Doubleclick one earlier this morning, but don't see it right now, and I could've be mistaken.)

Towards your goals of ethical, it might make sense to strip out all your third-parties (except Cloudfront, for now), and if you really have to add anything else, self-host it. Otherwise, you're leaking cross-site tracking&profiling information about your users, generally without their awareness, which I'm sure is not what you intend.

Good luck with your effort.

I think one reason so many people in these comments are having issues with the definition of "ethical" is the partial realization that there isn't a way to ethically consume things, especially when capitalism is involved. You can use Firefox, but that still supports Google. You can recycle, but an ocean freighter burning bunker oil pukes out enough pollution in one voyage to invalidate your entire life's effort. You can make better or worse choices, but we live in a fundamentally unethical global economic system.

I've lived in New York. Why would anyone want San Francisco to become like that? Is NYC cheap, clean, free of homeless people? No, it is crowded, smelly, expensive, and only livable for the extremely wealthy.
I would hypothesize that every single medium to large organization has this problem. Anecdata confirms, but that's not data, obviously.
The analysis is not as simple as asking whether a stall is more or less dangerous than an MCAS failure. Firstly, MCAS does not prevent a stall; it is intended to make it harder to accidentally stall (and no sane pilot would deliberately stall an airliner in normal operations), in order to compensate for the design change that made it easier to do so. When considering alternatives such as whether to disable MCAS on a sensor discrepancy, one should ask both how likely each possible scenario in each alternative is, and how much risk it adds.

Where the risk analysis seems to have gone most wrong is that Boeing apparently grossly underestimated the difficulty of both figuring out what actions were needed to respond to the symptoms of MCAS failure, and to perform them. I don't know whether it was a significant factor in the former, but when the AofA sensor failed, it caused the stick shaker, as well as MCAS, to kick in.

The other mistake in analysis seems to be that when the power of MCAS was increased after initial flight testing, the additional risk it created was not properly taken into account. In particular, the ability of MCAS to drive the trim all the way forward appears to have been an unintended and overlooked side-effect of one design change.

Requesting additional track miles could be because the aircraft wasn't yet configured for landing, perhaps because ATC held the aircraft high due to traffic, or because the pilots didn't manage the decent well.

There are also maximum landing weights (which are different from max takeoff weights) which could potentially be a factor.
About 15 years ago I had a motherboard with several "bulged" capacitors. I think at that time I wanted to upgrade anyway and just bought something new, but I read lots of people had similar issues around that time. Rumor was that some manufacturers used stolen plans to build these capacitors, and those stolen plans actually contained some errors.

I think the most interesting thing from the discussion on this yesterday [1] was the implication of industrial espionage in the problem from an article on wikipedia [2].

> Industrial espionage was implicated in the capacitor plague, in connection with the theft of an electrolyte formula. A materials scientist working for Rubycon in Japan left the company, taking the secret water-based electrolyte formula for Rubycon's ZA and ZL series capacitors, and began working for a Chinese company. The scientist then developed a copy of this electrolyte. Then, some staff members who defected from the Chinese company copied an incomplete version of the formula and began to market it to many of the aluminium electrolytic manufacturers in Taiwan, undercutting the prices of the Japanese manufacturers. This incomplete electrolyte lacked important proprietary ingredients which were essential to the long-term stability of the capacitors and was unstable when packaged in a finished aluminum capacitor. This faulty electrolyte allowed the unimpeded formation of hydroxide and produced hydrogen gas. [2]

This article is informative but poorly thought out. Most delays are out of the airlines’ control and generally involve congestion.

Unlike 50 years ago when there was little air traffic and airlines could pick the most direct route, today that is no longer the case. Flights are indeed longer because flying the most direct route or the route with the best tailwinds is no longer possible.

I’m surprised BBC didn’t do more fact checking.
My wife and I had the same experience. As an east coast programmer, I was curious about what it would be like in SF and arrange a vacation to see it for myself. We spent a week there, and both decided that we never ever wanted to move to a place like that. Nothing looked clean (certainly nowhere smelled clean) nor inviting. It would've been a considerable decline in our quality of living to move there.
Every action is political and ignoring that reality is how many of these problems are created in the first place. This is why many tech workers "hate politics", they hate having to be responsible for their actions.

> So we'd be electing someone against whom the actual majority of voters voted.

No. The 2000 & 2016 elections—along with 3 others since 1824—saw a person elected despite the majority of voters who cast ballots voting against that individual—52% voted against Bush, 54% voted against Trump. Both elections saw the US electing someone against whom the actual majority of voters voted.

The compact is essentially an agreement to make presidential elections match up with the person who secures the most votes nationwide, which sure seems to be far closer to a democratic election than the indirect EC system which has, twice in recent memory, awarded the presidency against the wishes of the majority of voters who cast votes. No more playing the EC game—you either win the election with the most votes cast, or you don't win. The only other options would be far heavier overhauls of the voting system—ditching SMDP, and implementing a two-round system whereby we eventually end up with one person who gets >50% of the vote. That's unlikely to ever happen, as it would rely on a constitutional amendment, so the compact is leveraging the power states have to determine how they award their electoral votes—awarding them based on who secures the most votes nationwide so the elected president always matches the popular vote. Again, since US national elections already rely on getting the most votes, and not a true >50% majority of votes cast, this is likely the closest the US can get to a purely democratic presidential election without an amendment that removes the EC entirely and establishes a TRS election in its place to ensure there is always an undeniable majority winner.
We need to all fight against this future. Software is the medium of our age—restricting who can create it is not unlike restricting freedom of expression.

But, fighting optional code signing the wrong battle. As long as the requirement can be disabled, there's nothing wrong here. Safe, but optional defaults are a good, practical compromise.

I remember typing in a quiz-show game from "More BASIC Computer Games" (the sequel to this book) and somehow ending up with it displaying the answer and expecting the question. My dad helped me debug it. I was around seven years old at the time; I entered quite a few of the games in that book into our Tandy 1000 TX, using the ZBASIC compiler and editor, moving on to writing my own programs once I understood what I was copying. I've come to recognize that experience as one of the foundational pieces of my long-term career development.

This really sounds like a non-issue. As a consumer, I'd much rather have them over estimate the flight schedule and arrive early than the reverse. I live near a smaller regional airport and end up having layovers basically anytime I fly anywhere more than 200 miles away, so I always relax a little easier when I pilot tells me we're landing ahead of schedule on my first leg so I know I wont miss my connection.

As for carbon emissions, I'm guessing that whatever padded on time is spent at the gate isn't really an issue, it's more about drawn out approaches when landing. It seems perfectly reasonable to me that something like this happens when you have so many planes entering and leaving an airport, it's amazing to me that things go as smoothly as they do. Plane travel isn't going anywhere and it seems a little absurd to me that flight time needs to be completely min-maxed down to the minute due to carbon emissions, there are definitely easier and more effective ways to control this.
I lived in SF for several years. The decline described was already a thing in 2005, and has been steadily worsening since. The flats are where businesses are, so doing business in the city means facing the despair of its homeless precisely as described.
