They do have the advantage of operating a fully tested and proven human-rated launch vehicle family, which has also successfully orbited a space station. That puts them significantly ahead of the US. Throwing a small Salyut-style station in Lunar orbit would be a great achievement, but isn't a huge step up technically from putting one in Earth orbit.
That seems like a non sequitur. If each country were left to decide on its own, it seems that many, in fact historically nearly all, would not have open boarders. It seems like you're assuming the freedom of a group to govern themselves would result in them choosing what you personally find ideal. The world as it is now is the null hypothesis. People choose to form countries, and countries choose to have boarders.

It looks like a ton of work to upgrade to the new SCA solutions, this is not a transparent upgrade by any means.

It's a very short notice for most companies, payments might start to be rejected from the 14th of September.

For example, the Checkout solution that is currently based on a modal is completely changed - https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/migration

There won't be a modal anymore, now it's all based in a 3rd party Stripe page.

We now need to implement webhooks to fulfill orders which previously was not needed, also the flow is completely changed.

We now create a session on the server, and then redirect to the payment page.
It's classic s/w. Over budget, under spec'd, and arbitrarily the language of the internet.

I guess I've never really understood the background sound thing. It's not like I need silence; I have no trouble working in a coffeeshop for example. But I mostly don't even turn on music as background much less something like a podcast. And, when traveling with people, one thing that always drove me crazy was the person whose initial reflex on walking into a room was to turn on the TV as background.
Even if it is live streamed and there is a perfect transcription, that is worthless. I don't have time to watch the stream or read the transcript. I have to do my day job, and then I go home and raise my kids.

What I need is an accurate and neutral summary of the things I should care about so when it comes time to vote in a couple years I can decide if I want to keep the current government or not.

Accurate and neutral is hard. Nobody is unbiased. The decision to cover/not cover something is both important and biased. Every project has pros-cons. The very first one is cost vs value: if you don't do the project you don't spend some money and taxes go down leaving more money for residents to do their own thing with, but they don't get the benefit of the project.

Most of what I see online is a quote - probably taken out of context - that makes the someone person look bad. I don't care if a politician is a good speaker, I care if the ultimate policy is good and this is a complex question.

> He predicts a multimillion-dollar campaign through both traditional and social media.

I predict that the campaign will spook the bejesus out of the consumer. Nothing says "beware" like a big corporation insisting, repeatedly and loudly, that all is well.

Given that this will be Boeing's first foray into direct-to-consumer marketing, they're going to make big mistakes.

Democracy is high maintenance, it needs the people to be vigilant all the time, ultimately democracy is the people instead of a fancy term, as you can see the outcomes of democracies are hardly the same.

So when the people just want more income, easier life and minimal seemingly irrelevant political hassle, either caused by their history or indoctrination, the "China Model" can be very attractive.

It's not a safety issue. The 737 MAX has a tendency to nose-up harder than the 737 when thrust is applied. It's different from the 737 but it's not inherently unstable or unsafe or anything of the sort. Someone who understands the flight characteristics of the MAX 8 can fly it just as safely as any other passenger plane.

tl;dr the plane isn't inherently less safe, it is different in flight characteristics, and Boeing tried to negate that difference with software in order to cut certification costs.

Here's Mentour Pilot explaining it[1]. This is the same guy that recently made the news for 'proving' the 737 MAX 8 MCAS problems.

He also explains why Boeing sold AOA disagree as an option, and shockingly, it was not a conspiracy to save a few thousand bucks like reddit/HN seems to believe.

-- Seriously who the fuck is downvoting my comments here? Come out and post a reply explaining your downvote, coward.
I think the Boeing 737 Max Problem is now safely solved simply due to the popularity it got.

That would be nice.

My problem with trusting that plane is that they essentially tried to fix a 50 year old design with software kludges.

That's not what inspires confidence really and that fundamentally doesn't change.
This is a non sequitur response to an informed and interesting comment, which 'tzs clearly took pains to compose and which addresses in detail the claim you made above. You'd have been better off not commenting at all than writing this.
Point of data here - having owned an ICE vehicle for two years, the first components I had to replace were windshield wipers, a taillight, and a tire (which ran over a bolt) - all of which would be at the same risk of failure in an EV.

Actually, I don't even know how many transactions/sec are happening in the Ethereum/Bitcoin world right now.

> Not the same. As you say, a process should not be able to access pages that are protected by hardware permission bits. That's exactly the issue with meltdown.

Okay, but the hardware issue is pretty much exactly the same... the bug in hardware that enabled spectre is also what enabled meltdown.

The only reason we managed to fix this is by moving most of the kernel task memory out of the user page table - a software fix for something that the hardware should have been doing.
Having written in it for a while, JavaScript just kind of is "meh".

TypeScript, for instance, is a much better development experience in terms of language constructs, but that only makes the package management situation stand out more.

> The last 10 years have created a legion of developers who are really only familiar with JavaScript

That probably played 0 role into this. When the project was created, about 20 to 15 years ago, people put in the design specs. The language selection was JS, Python 1.5 (1.5, not 2, not 3, 1.5, released in 1999) and a custom script language.

NASA decided for JS because Python used more memory.

The JS that is being run is essentially IE6 or IE5-level, so none of the modern features introduced in IE8 and forwards that make it all so easy.

I'd expect more modern variants of JS (TypeScript) or even something like Rust to make an appearence in 15 years or so. Atleast for these kinds of missions.

I find all of these solutions wonderfully low-tech. In Amsterdam, they slowly drive google streetview-style car which autotmatically records number plates, looks them up, and issues fines where necessary.

Google Flights shows the make and model of the plane. Sometimes the actual airline webpage doesn't though so I use the info from Google to check seatguru since the airlines usually have pretty terrible seat selection charts.
Note that the heater in the model S/3 is capable of ~6/4 kW. In most cases you won't be running the heater on full for an hour, but at -10 you might be. When you start talking about 12-24 miles of range per hour, that's how you get up to the worst case of ~20% range loss.

Still, that just means you want to limit your -10 degree trips to like 2.5 hours instead of 3 hours, and only if you don't have access to superchargers.
You could argue that modern liberal democracies just hide the ugly parts, not necessarily end them.

Whether you have your neighbors working 16 hour shifts in your factory or you have people in Bangladesh work 16 hour shifts in your factory doesn't really make a large difference: you're still making people work 16 hour shifts in your factory, only different people.
DC-10 are not transporting passengers anymore. Neither MD-11. Perhaps because they’re known?

An MD-11 crashed because it was too long and the pilot didn’t know whether it was landing or already boucing.

The Concorde crashed because of a piece lost by a DC-10.

The DC-9 lost 4 times the same door, crrating 4 times the same crash.

It goes all the way to the DC-3, where overfilling the tank would overflow into the aircon system, pulverizing droplets of jet fuel into the cabin. No need to picture the rest.

Perhaps that’s why no-one knows this brand anymore. Same as De Havailland. Too many crashes. Bad engineering and management shortcuts.
I've mostly had older cars 5-10 years old and I rarely had issues with anything in the engine. It was typically suspension, brakes, lights, the starter battery etc.

Tesla make it's difficult to fix their cars by restricting parts or bricking their cars that have been in a crash. Whilst you can get your traditional car fixed pretty much anywhere, likely to get your Tesla fixed you need the dealership more than ever.

If I'm out for a slow run (music or silence work better for a fast run, silence for a trail run as part of the point of that is enjoying the sounds as well as the sights of nature as I trundle around), pottering around the flat doing chores, sometimes on the train when I'm travelling.

Though some of what I listen to isn't really podcasts - it is panel shows and other radio output that gets mixed in with the podcast output of the BBC and other sources.

Uber faces an “IPO tax” to benefit all San Francisco residents
To rebrand will be acknowledging that this is not a 737, at which points pilots will be required to recertify anyway and there is less need for the MCAS to mimic 737 flight characteristics.
The acquisition scenarios are definitely misleading. Employees love to take future acquisition values and multiply it by their current equity stake, but it's just 100% incorrect because it ignores future dilution from subsequent rounds of investment, liquid preferences by investors, settlement of outstanding debts, etc which will absolutely reduce their cut.

Now it's one thing for employees to personally delude themselves, but it's just flat out wrong for the company to tell its employees what they can expect to make in different exit scenarios. The company is definitely opening itself up to litigation when, say, Employee 12 (0.5% equity currently) only gets something like $1M after a $600M acquisition, instead of the $3M you promised.
> Have you noticed how when you buy the ticket there's no mention of the plane

I haven't noticed that.

I can't recall ever booking a ticket on a carrier where the [scheduled] plane type wasn't readily available to me before purchasing. Typically looking at the seat map or details of the flight will show you the type (and sub-type). I wouldn't buy a ticket on a site that didn't preview that information.

I just checked the major legacy US carriers and Delta and United show it in either the Details or Seats fold-outs. American shows it directly on the schedule. For non-legacy carriers, Southwest only flies 737s [and doesn't assign seats], but shows the specific revision in a fold-out when you click the flight number. JetBlue shows it without the need for a click (as American above). If you care about the in-flight experience at all, you surely shouldn't fly Spirit, but they show it as well in the seat map.

For aggregators/OTAs, Expedia shows it in the details fold-out, Kayak in the flight fold-out, Google Flights in the results fold-out, ITA Matrix same.

I tried and couldn't find a way to book a flight where I couldn't readily see the scheduled aircraft. There's no guarantee that your aircraft won't be switched out for operational necessity, but in that event I'm sure you could decline the switch and book on another flight if you had an operational, safety, convenience, or other concern with the switch.

How do you book tickets where you don't and can't see the aircraft model before booking?

I've commented about it before--I was listening to podcasts way too much and it destroyed my creativity. I've cut down to 3 shows, which comes out to about 3-4 hours of content a week, and I try to save it for washing dishes, cooking dinner, or driving. My suggestion: trim the fat, pick a couple podcasts you really enjoy and unsubscribe from the rest, then resist the urge to hit 'play' as you're getting dressed in the morning.
Decades to occur? Huh. Boeing bought Macdonnel Douglas in 1997.
My impression is that we don't even bother to hand-wavy and justify or defend any of it. We just don't care. It happened. It's in the past. And we didn't personally do it.
Doesn't change the fact that they essentially tried to fix an ancient design, no more suitable for this day and age, with a lot of software. Instead of a clean sheet engineering of something really good.

And all this based on purely commercial objectives.

Based on some of the things, written by far more competent people than me, the airframe, due to the different placement of the larger engines is inherently aerodynamically instable.

I'm not sure that it's physically possible to turn this into the safest passenger plane in the world.

They'll do anything in their power* to restore customer confidence.

* Anything that doesn't hurt the bottom line dramatically, such as doing any kind of large scale recalls and updates or simply changing the classification of the plane as "not a 737".

I suspect they'll add some software fixes and do isolated testing. This doesn't restore my confidence. I'll still fly in the damn thing though.

> you could quite easily design a cabin for a small car to hold temperature even in the absence of any other heat source

In my experience most cars do hold temperature for at least 20-30m with vents closed. You still need air exchange though for longer periods, so losing heat is unavoidable.

This reminds me of the book Peak by Anders Erricsson who observed that the right kind of practice carried out over a sufficient period of time can lead to extraordinary improvement.

Interestingly, it seems to work for both physical and mental abilities and importantly at any age (although some abilities are easier to develop at a young age)

The kind of practice is critical -- he calls it "deliberate practice" -- a focused practice that is at the limit of one's abilities and by pushing near the limit, it eventually becomes the new norm and a new limit is developed further beyond.

By continuously iterating on this process, people have been able to develop skills previously unheard of. Fascinating book, thoroughly recommend it.

Good observations! I can't say I like it when a wrapper (loosely said here) starts to exert too much influence over what it wraps.
This decision was apparently made some time ago, back when the software landscape looked pretty different. I have to wonder how many decisions we make now with software will live long enough to seem as questionable.

If prior longevity is used to predit future longevity it’s an interesting thought exercise to think of how you’d write software. If projected longevity were my concern for a system, I’d almost certainly want things written in C or C++, maybe Ada. If I wanted high level scripting, I’d probably embed a Scheme.
