Step 1: Switch to basic HTML mode

Seriously though if you use the normal mode, there is a split view that allows you to have a preview pane that makes gmail a lot more bearable. Ever since the last big update it is painfully slow to load for me. Pinning the tab in Firefox and adding preview pane made it almost usable.

This assumes MCAS is not painting over a more fundamental flight characteristic issue, such as the larger engines causing undesirable stall behavior.

I have no idea if this is the case, but if it is I can totally see Boeing trying over and over to paint over the issue, as they would probably lose way too much if they had to scrap the project.
My experience is the opposite. Every little external sound is distracting. It's only when I'm ignoring some audio that I can think about problems holistically.
I've used Wowza (video streaming server) for years and this is a direct competitor. The pricing is a little higher for Wowza, but Wowza is a mature product with tons of options for web streaming. The weakness of Wowza has been its support for WebRTC. I am using it, but it's not easy to stream from RTSP/RTMP to WebRTC. It also doesn't scale out for WebRTC
You and everyone else. The congestion will be unimaginable IMO.

The private sector has money as a motive.

The public sector has motives as well, like money (continued funding), political pressure, etc.

That they didn't add a third AoA sensor does not fill me with confidence that they've done all they can to fix this fatal issue that's already claimed over 300 lives. I'm skeptical that a software-only fix is good enough.

Airbus planes, by contrast, have three AoA sensors. How can Boeing justify doing fewer given how critically important these sensors are for preventing crashes?
It’s possible that the plane is safer to fly without MCAS and that the deadly system was only added to exploit an FAA loophole to reduce the rollout costs.

IMO this would paint Boeing in the worst possible light, and result in the maximum possible legal liability at the end of the day.
I wouldn't have a problem with PMCs replacing police for pretty much everything but detective work. It would actually give society a lot more leverage over law enforcement and separating after the fact investigation and prosecution from active enforcement would remove a lot of bad incentives from the current system. If the PMCs you've hired to do cop things shoot someone wrongfully you can sue them and not be suing the taxpayer. You can force them to have insurance as part of the contract. You can fail to renew their contract if they screw up. Having a profit motive removes the desire to have unnecessary military hardware for the same reason your local landscaper doesn't own a mining dump truck.

Obviously there's trade-offs but it seems like having privately security instead of cops would be an end run around most of the things that are bad about modern policing.

> Ali Bahrami is now the FAA's Association Administrator for Aviation Safety. But six years ago Bahrami worked for the aircraft manufacturers lobby, and he argued before Congress to fight foreign competition by delegating more regulatory authority to the plane-makers to help them get new products to market faster.

It’s endlessly puzzling to me how lobbyists that spend their lives advocating for an industry are expected to be able do an about-face and advocate for the public once on the FCC/FAA/whatever. Even stranger is that it sometimes works, like with former FCC chairman Tom Wheeler.
> They'll model the scenario and conclude that it is fixed.

You're so right. From the article:

Existing customers such as Westjet and Air Canada are being run through simulations of the changes to the 737 Max

Not exactly a phrase to inspire confidence. The scenario as we're seeing it give me a strong sense of deja vu as I recall the DC-10 disasters of the 1970's - many people refused to fly that aircraft ever again and I don't believe the brand ever fully recovered.

No, not everything it does can be done by qemu directly, plenty of it lies outside of the scope of QEMU entirely, like managing networks (not just network devices), or storage pools, setting up permissions for device redirection, or doing the legwork for VM provisioning and configuration (including net booting and automatically running appropriate scripts), or managing access to VMs both locally and remotely.

Its fine if your use cases are covered by plain QEMU, but libvirt does a hell of a lot more than plain QEMU alone is capable of.

Again all of that is possible via other means, but when other means involve recreating half of libvirt in shell scripts or other code, id rather let somebody else do the work for me.

QEMU is designed to run virtual machines, libvirtd is designed to manage VM server infrastructure.
> Apple, as a company, does not donate any money to political candidates, CEO Tim Cook said on Tuesday.

Corporate donations to political candidates are bright-line illegal, a (potentially criminal) campaign finance violation, so it would be surprising if Cook said anything else.

> He also said he doesn't believe that political action committee (PACs) should exist.

> PACs allow corporations and others to secretly donate large sums to campaigns.

This part has the facts all wrong which makes it harder to tell what is actually opposed; PAC donations are sharply limited and disclosed publicly by law, and while corporations can sponsor PACs they can only subsidize their administrative expenses, actual campaign donations cannot come from corporate funds, either directly or through PACs; PACs don't allow corporations to donate, and the donations PACs do make are neither secret nor large sums.)

Independent political expenditures as allowed by Citizens United (either directly by interested entities or by entities that collect donations specifically for that purpose, the latter of which are sometimes referred to as “SuperPACs”) allow secret, unlimited spending to promote or oppose candidates or measures, but cannot donate to campaigns or even legally coordinate with them.

It's not clear if Cook actually opposes PACs or SuperPACs, neither one of which actually matches the description of what the “PACs” he opposes are, or if he opposes some mythical thing which combines some features of PACs (donation to campaigns) with some of superPACs (unlimited quantity, secrecy, ability to use corporate funds for non-administrative functions).
Also: even if it were legal, it would still be stealing someone else's property.
I thought 2FA or similar was "just around the corner" for bitcoin?
The real issue is whether it's going to require recertification and extra training for pilots. Not needing those two things were a major competitive advantage for the 737 Max, and if the FAA doesn't require recertification, I'm not so sure other airline authorities are going to take its word for it.

I think podcasts are wonderful, a form of media that has very low barriers to entry and where the smaller players can compete with the big boys on a relatively level playing field.

So what if a lot of podcasts are crap? If the podcaster enjoys it and someone listens then good for them.

Onecthing I have learned from institutional molestation scandals is never trust anyone who states their first goal with a problem is restoring trust. It is a sociopathic Freudian slip that they don't care about the actual problem, only that it is making it harder to manipulate people.

I advise treating it as a shibboleth for people so callous they think trust is the most important thing as opposed to the problem which they deliberately avoid mentioning.

I highly doubt that it'll be the safest passenger plane in the world, the entire reason they added MCAS was because the airframe design is fundamentally prone to stalling. So now they have an aircraft that's prone to stalling with a software anti-stalling system that works most of the time. The "fix" didn't even add triple redundant AOA sensors with a voting system like Airbus uses.

> If there's real fear of flying on them then 737 MAX flights will be cheaper and A320/757/etc. flights will be more expensive

Have you noticed how when you buy the ticket there's no mention of the plane you'll actually fly in and no guarantee that it won't be swapped 45 minutes before takeoff?

I'm saying that looking from a different perspective. As a tall person I would rather fly in planes I know to have better leg room or where I can pick an emergency exit seat. So many times the plane was changed just before boarding and my "emergency exit seat" turned into a regular cramped one because of the different seating arrangement.

So I'll be skeptic of the fact that the market can actually support tickets prices based on the plane model. Unless an airline guarantees the plane model you book your flight on or exclusively uses a specific model then pricing based on the plane used is about as achievable as pricing based on the revision of circuit breakers used in the cockpit.
Doesn't work that well if people move to other countries to change them to become like their original country. Would only work if travel across borders with the intention of staying was forbidden. Would also incentivize people to change their own country for the better when they can see other successful countries they just have to copy.
Defending trademarks includes saying "this is our trademark but we'll allow you to continue using it so long as you're non commercial and making it clear that this is an unofficial build".
Also, energy efficiency means lower costs. If you need a 20% bigger pack for the same range, that’s almost a 20% more expensive pack.

That’s the entire profit margin of a profitable car model.

My cynical side says that this will probably doom the whole idea of a foldable phone. The manufacturers want us to be distracted and spend that half an hour scrolling social media. They want us to be sucked in to using it constantly. They don't benefit from encouraging us to only use our gadgets when we've deliberately decided that we want to. And so it seems likely they'll kind of forget about this once the novelty wears off.

What effect this has on your desire to purchase and use devices is up to you.

Money, as adding a third would likely require recertification as has been mentioned in some articles about the sensors in the past few months.
The final paragraphs of the article launch unexpectedly into a cursory attack on a Friends Of Earth campaign which is centered on the GMO aspect of new vanillin synthesis and the marketting of GMO products as natural. The author takes the opportunity to characterise FOEs position roughly without mentioning GMOs at all, introducing it as "downright dumb".

Friends of the Earth are quite fanatical about actual natural food and conditions, whether that be a good or bad approach in these times. National geographic under ownership of the Murdochs seems free to pick and omit information for its advertisers fanaticisms.

I did a bit of a study of this as I was involved with a podcasting related startup at one point.

It's really varied:

- Most podcast consumption is via smartphone

- A big chunk of that is on iOS (because default Podcast app placement is inconsistent across Android flavors)

- Heaviest consumption during commutes

- Significant consumption during the workday: white collar people listening in the background - often from their desktop/web while or blue collar in place of radio and music

- You also have people doing things like playing video games and listening to podcasts regularly.
Airbus aircraft require three AoA sensors because they're considered safety critical. On the 737 Max they weren't safety critical right up until they added MCAS, at which point that changed, and the regulators should have required it but failed to (in part because Boeing mislead regulators about how much MCAS could adjust the deflection in the horizontal stabilizer, doubling it after regulators had already sign off on it[0]).

The fact that Boeing is able to skate by with two and a software off-switch if they disagree, while Airbus continues to be required to have triple redundancy says a lot about their respective regulators (EASA Vs FAA). I'm sure "cost" was discussed given the 350+ aircraft already produced and how impractical it is to add a third AoA sensor, but that's literally putting cost over safety.

The single word that comes to mind when reading this: "Waaaaaaah!!!"

I listen to podcasts because I learn from them or am entertained by specific people with insights and expertise I appreciate. The whole bit about eavesdropping on a conversation is the essence of what makes a good podcast: it's a conversation that if you caught a part of it in real life you would stop and stand at the edge to listen and learn more. And the best podcasts involve listener feedback, sometimes in real-time.

Perhaps the ultimate irony of the assertion that podcasting is killing music is that podcasting was INVENTED by an MTV VJ and former disk jockey, Adam Curry, and that the ORIGINAL podcast -- The Daily Source Code -- was heavily focused on music and ultimately shut down because RIAA lawyers leveled a massive legal threat at Adam even after he had purchased online music licensing to cover his podcast.

What podcasting does is decentralize the exchange of information: it destroys the ability of a powerful few to be the gatekeepers of information or "pick the hits." That's why "they" hate it and why it will only increase as a medium over time.
