You're right. I should have clarified myself better. Those best elements were mostly applied to building wealth for China and strengthening their economy only. Other aspects related to political ideologies which will always be very different from the West, and I believe those topics should always be avoided on HN.

We have to understand that China has never been able to enjoy such economic power at this level throughout their history, so they have been waiting for this position for such a long time. Their current position may potentially reshape future history of human civilization. When you have the entire country concentrating all their effort on one and only one objective, the rest will have to take a backseat. For example, China didn't have to spend trillion of dollars going to war which was also another reason why they were able to laser focus on just one single goal.

This definitely doesn't mean it would make China the most balanced country overall as everything in life is always a trade off. One may gain in one area but would always lose in another. I'm not saying people should be afraid of China, I'm only saying they should not lock themselves up in the old world, and instead be ready and willing to learn from others because obviously China must have been doing many things right to get here.
It's not completely fair of me to compare civil jets to combat ones, but in any case I'd argue that ejection seats are perhaps more useful for the other scenarios combat planes find themselves in.
It depends on what you mean by safety bars. If you mean a smith machine, yes, don't use those.

But if you mean "I have failed my lift, prevent me from crushing myself" safety bars, there shouldn't be a problem with those as long as they are set at an appropriate height.

Exactly, which is why the nose-up tendency of the MAX is an issue.

It’s been reports that Boeing is looking at a one billion dollar loss due to the grounding these plans. Surely, such training would come in far below this number...
It certainly seems to be a nation wide problem.

It really sucks as it seems like economic activity just waiting to ... happen, but naw.
There is one problem with the author's request: Putting in the extra work sucks, and management doesn't care, so why bother?

You know exactly why it bugs you and you're absolutely right.

It works for me on the XR, brings up the sliders for power off, etc and Face ID is disabled.
I was sure that SOME things you can control, but now I believe you just have some variable amount of influence - in the end, luck matters a lot. E.g. we managed to "train" our first two kids to eat well, but the third broke us. At some point, we were begging her, "eat this cupcake, it has chocolate!". Taught me to refrain from judging other parents.
Hu maybe, but Jiang? I remember him being a lot more hands on than Hu, but it was also a different more centralized era on the boundary.

Jiang was also way more educated than Xi, the former being a product of rushed post cultural revolution education (Xi is less educated than Hu, being the first Chinese President in a while who can’t speak English).
Who wants to just start writing a free version and start putting them out of business? Filing taxes is not the Linux kernel, I mean how complicated is it really? It's still just a matter of following directions and doing basic math. Computers are great at that. No rocket science needed. I even thought of a name: Caesar (as in "render unto..."). Caesar.org is available.

And there's the core of all of this. SMTP is a best-effort protocol that does not guarantee delivery. Until someone comes up with something better, we're condemned to seeing "Help! My very important email disappeared in transit" threads on HN every several months for the rest of eternity.

No kidding… My son is the same age. Here in the Netherlands the vaccination rate is dropping steadily too, and now sits just above 90%. Not as bad as some other countries, but worrying nonetheless.

By the way, our kids are protected for a while yet by their mothers' immunity to measles (of course that implies mum having either been vaccinated or having had the measles themselves).
I didn't grow up in the Bronx, but did live there. I remember the one Barnes & Noble (fondly) and am glad to hear this news.

It's not that simple. I don't believe the unassisted aircraft meets the stick force/stability requirements of FAR 25. Even if it were a completely new type, it would need some sort of stability augmentation to be certifiable.
Yes, absolutely astounding that this article doesn't mention Genera.

If we're going to proceed to list every single address space operating system we've ever heard of, i'll mention SPIN, written in Modula 3 (although i don't know if it did anything clever about sharing data between applications):

This is written by Ralph Nader, taking the extreme position has been his MO since 1965. As far as I can tell he takes a very hard position, in order to try and move the needle of public sentiment.
Nike Says Just Do It for Blockchain
I can't possibly be the only one here who understands what they were getting at, right? It seems silly but it's pretty obvious that they're just trying to get at the intentions and associations behind their aesthetic decisions. It's only as absurd as human pattern-seeking behavior is in general.
If they had disclosed the MCAS behavior to pilots and explained how it works in detail then some enterprising pilot might have tried that to see what happens (I’m guessing). But they didn’t tell pilots about this change at all because Boeing didn’t want to overwhelm them with supposedly irrelevant information. That’s the part that boggles my mind, and makes me distrust anything new coming from Boeing.
The A220 is highly fuel efficient and it is the only current mainstream airliner that can land at London City airport.

When I get one I'm putting alpine and X11 with xvkbd and fvwm on it just like my laptop (sans xvkbd.)

I don't want or care about some special phone OS (especially if the UI is built with the same philosophy that built gnome.) I care that the hardware has drivers but that's it.
Conversely, why would anyone think that because a thing doesn't matter to them, it shouldn't matter to anyone else either?
Wasn't the problem that Boeing requires pilots to keep overriding the system in the case of a failure, while not training them to do so, or even mentioning the fact in the documentation?
This is good in the sense that having poorly calibrated forecasts is bad, but it's not quite as strong as you might want it to be. Imagine that you're tasked with predicting the next state of a traffic light that just cycles through green, yellow and red over and over again. If at every step you forecast that there's a 33% chance of each color, you have a very well-calibrated forecaster, but it's clear that you can do better.

FiveThirtyEight probably actually is doing better, but I suspect that they're not choosing to highlight those stronger metrics because they're complicated to explain.
Because they have no way of measuring how much of their outbound mail is going straight to Junk, so they just assume their messages are being ignored.

I also had similar problems with a UK youth organisation similar to rotoract (youth arm of rotary) and the person doing that was some student from Germany
Pitch up tendencies under power to my understanding don’t make it an unstable airframe. If you stall, cut power, let go of the controls and the plane responds with a recoverable dive, it’s aerodynamically stable.

Some airplanes can’t be (reliably) recovered from stall, that’s another issue altogether.

Meh, it's all relative. I'm not exactly on the left and while the left echo chamber may seem uninviting, the right-wing echo chamber (cough cough gab cough cough) somehow manages to be a lot worse.
Uh, volunteer, find a hobby?

A lot of these reasons are personal and fine but...

> hopefully pay follows. And the experience is always valuable for later employment.

I hope it doesn't, because if pay follows your self-destructive habit then other people will be forced into it if they want to receive similar compensation and it becomes a race to the bottom for our time. I value my personal leisure time, I need quiet brain time to unwrap my thoughts from the deep intricacies of the work I do on a daily basis - if your brain is more resilient and can keep going at 100% 24/7 that's great, enjoy it as it'd certainly be interesting to always be on - but I value my time and the more that working > 40 hrs becomes normalized, the more we workers lose our gained ground in minimizing the work week.

Lastly,

Don't worry, I've known forty and fifty year olds that have been balls of stress and anxiety, it's still well accomplishable, but! Unless your physiology really is different, being a ball of stress and anxiety - running constantly on adrenaline - it's the sort of action the human body can only sustain for so long. Never let that last point (money) convince you to sacrifice your physical well being either today or down the road - your life and what you're living is more precious than anything you'll ever produce, and that's true for everyone.
TCL/TK will probably work since it's running wayland.
Not a fanboy, just that I support Tesla and what they achieved in a short time. There are 2 main reasons in my opinion:
1) lots of short sellers which are very vocal online
2) many people hate Musk thus they hate Tesla as well.

I don't argue with hard-core haters or fanboys since most of them seem brainwashed.

Still, I haven't heard any good reason why someone should be against Tesla as a company.
Check survivorship bias. The name refers to deadly scenarios, but what is fundamental to it is a bias in reporting that depends on the outcome of interest. The concept was first hammered out observing that warplanes never got hit in the engines -- well, the ones that made it back at least. Some people thought the areas with the most damage should be protected. Wald thought otherwise and it's him who is remembered to this day. "Moments of whimsy" are like anti-aircraft ammo. They hit everywhere, randomly. But we only report those that are associated with a life change.
We've got as400 at work, surprisingly a lot of companies still run it. Thankfully, I do 0 work on it and focus on other applications.

It is becoming a super niche market, once the dinosaurs die off, whoever can come in and work on it will make bank. In fact my company is getting pretty anxious about it, as the cost of even migrating from it is going to be high.
I've always struggled a bit with the whole vaccination issue. Those who don't want them are obviously idiots, and unfortunately most are parents who are refusing to vaccinate their children. I generally lean more toward the libertarian "do what you want until it hurts me" stance, but it's obvious that a disease epidemic hurts me. At the same time, I have trouble with the idea of the government rounding people up and sticking needles in their arms.

It's a tough question, and I'm not quite sure how to solve it. We will likely face many more issues of disease in the years to come, with antibiotic resistance becoming a growing threat. The idea of a society where a small nick very well may cause a fatal infection is not a pleasant one.

Also, fungi are a rising threat: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19590180

The sad thing is that this is being exported across democracies around the world.
This subversion of the democratic process would probably bring to its demise.
And the waters are so muddled with identity politics and false enemies ("Bolsheviks") that we can't even have civilized discusssions on this problem.
Sad state of affairs.
Nothing you wrote has anything to do with my comment. Please comment elsewhere. At the root, for example.
I'm curious if the HN crowd knows how one maintains such extensions sustainably...

Just by glancing at it, I'd imagine that it's tightly coupled with the markup and styling of Gmail. If Gmail changes anything about its layout, the extension has to change, too. Does this mean that your extension is periodically broken (and you have to be available to fix it after every layout change/tweak) or is there a better way (e.g. some Gmail-specific APIs or some such)?
you might want to read @GregTravis' article on the IEEE or here: https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1334482 which is also on HN. The IEEE is one of the most in depth pieces that I've read on the subject, and this comment by Boeing in this Quartz article: https://qz.com/1603726/boeing-says-there-was-no-technical-sl... just leaves a lot to be desired.
$0.01/AU/day isn't crazy. I'd actually argue its low, compared to some of the other enterprise or social media bills we've seen.

You can't just say "I could serve 1000 users on a $240/year VPS, they should be able to serve their 10M users on around $2M/year!" Things don't scale like that. The complex dynamics of the world can't be represented by linear extrapolation. Moreover, there's a balance that needs to be struck between the complex process of "spending less on cloud" and the complex process of "developing the product". Everything costs money.
Be sure to check out Cuis and Pharo as well.

The worst thing about this blocking is that you often times don't get to see what's wrong. So you're running around in circles, trying to use various mx tools on the internet to find the problem.

This is not just gmail issue. Though with many smaller providers you'll at least get something like "your blocked by XYZ blacklist".

Except they never went away. Manufacturing is highly automated and specialized. If a highschool dropout could do it then eventually a simple robot will be able to do it. Politicians, executives, and union leaders should be taken to task for letting education and drop training fall so far behind.

Until our space program gets out of politics it will continue to be a political football, some politicians will deem it too expensive, others will treat it as a jobs program with no objective. Look at his current cabinet? Do you think any of them will stick around for the next decade to shepherd a successful space program. I don't think any of them have the political capital to finish whatever he may start.
Authoritarianism is good when its good, and really bad when its bad.

Democracy is good when its good, and okay when its bad.

Democratic system are never the fastest way of getting something done, but seems to be the most consistently less-bad system for outcomes. The state that can build an entire medical infrastructure from scratch is also the same one that can build vast concentration camp systems far out in the provinces.

Sounds like someone is one of today's 10,000 [0] discovering the meaning of (if a bit out of context) "...but the company won't love you back". Yeah, you're all-in when they're showering you with gifts. Hell, who wouldn't be? But one slow-shipping spoiler later and the bubble pops. Tesla doesn't love you any less, they never loved you to begin with, it just appeared that way. Now the tweeter gets to find out how the other half of low-production vehicle owners live: "sorry, we used all the spoilers to make cars and didn't have any left over. Unfortunately, we're also using all of our energy to make cars, and don't have much (if any) left over for you."

I've owned a lot of TSLA, but not an actual Tesla. But were I to have purchased one, and had this same experience, I personally wouldn't be all that surprised. I'd still be a little pissed, but only at myself for having known better. I hesitate to say that the tweeter "shoulda known better", because there's no reason to say that they should have. You spend $90K, or whatever, there's a certain expectation that goes with that amount of money. OTOH, someone in as deep as the tweeter claims probably...at least shouldn't be shocked by this with a table-flipping rage.

Uber could've used Cadence in place of Piper/Airflow isn't it. Can you shed more light on where both of these fit.
magic leap is one of those companies sitting on a goldmine waiting for a platform(AR glasses) to become a reality. if they could even make a sensor that'd fit into a smartphone,it'd be killer. the latest htc flagship u12+ tries to do what vive does already with hand sensing in the camera and such. it would be amazing if they opened a layer of interaction on top of just touching the phone
"One of the main reasons that I got a doctorate in computer science was because I was constantly being told by professionals in the wargaming community that with a PhD I would be a PI (Principal Investigator) and have more funding than I would know what to do with.

Meeting FAR 25 is generally done by adding something like hydraulics, or electric engines to assist in moving control surfaces. Both solutions capable of working even in thte case of full engine and power shutdowns.

To put an automated system on top of your force assists just seems like asking for trouble. In layman's terms, the more you pile on, the more that can go wrong.

All that said, as a matter of full disclosure, I only know how to fly planes, not really an aeronautical engineer.
Except it's not because you don't sit around waiting for the engines to spool going "oh deer, we're still stalling, if this continues I'll have to push the nose down". You nose down and power up in quick succession. This is basically muscle memory that every pilot has going back to their first day in a 172. And as the person you're replying to mentioned, nose down is the first thing. You don't put the throttle all the way forward until after you've put the nose down.

The issue here is MCAS. If they just trained the pilots on the handling characteristics of the MAX the increased stall tendency compared to a normal 737 would be a non-issue and they wouldn't need MCAS as the handling is still within the bounds of "perfectly reasonable".
..supply and demand. Theres demand for extremely high growth companies, especially if they seem to have a some path to profitability. Private investor demand, and public market/IPO demand too.

And this is surprising because? It would be surprising if they didn't do that, honestly. The government is at fault here for selling political power and not representing the interests of the people. We could boycott Intuit, I suppose, or use different products, but aside from that, the fault and source of the problem lies squarely with the government.

What gets lifting to stick and become a habit will be different for everyone.

But what worked for me was Bigger, Leaner, Stronger by Michael Matthews

https://www.amazon.com/Bigger-Leaner-Stronger-Building-Ultim...

It's an updated approach to Starting Strength. It builds a weekly routine around the core lifts of bench, incline bench, overhead press, squat, and deadlift.

And while he dives into some iffy science at times and the diet section is – while informative and eye opening to me in the beginning about how much I needed to change my diet – it's also extremely unrealistic, especially for a beginner.

But, if you keep those things in mind, it's a strong base to build a lifting habit around.

I've been lifting 5 times a week for a couple years now and, while I've since modified much of the book to fit my personal goals and approach, it helped me get somewhere from no previous lifting experience (other than aimlessly wandering around the Y in my teens and 20s).
Mmm... didn't know that. I understand _why_ now, but, "never letting the 737 max fly again" is a purely emotional decision that helps no-one. They didn't tear down a 45 story building after the Hyatt Regency walkway collapse, as example.

HN is showing a trend of purely blaming Boeing, but there were in fact several failures. Any one of: pilot training [There's a runaway stabilizer trim procedure that's actually a memory item for 737 pilots], not allowing single sensor inputs for flight control systems [FAA spec failure], the decision to allow the MCAS system to command an extreme amount of trim [engineering failure, should have been limited to a sane value] could have prevented the accidents.
>they are embracing openness

I've been personally burned over and over and over again by Microsoft "embracing openness" and I will never trust them again on this point.
