In fact, there is no major religion that is against vaccination [1].

Even religions that you might expect to have a problem because of some of the ingredients in the vaccine, such as Hindus with vaccines that include bovine components, or Muslims and Jews with vaccines using porcine components, are fine with them even with if they include those components.

Jainism you might expect to have a problem because they are against violence against any life, including microorganisms. But vaccines are allowed, with regrets, as necessary to protect other lives. (The same reason they allow soap and cooking).

Scientologists are OK with vaccination.

Among Christians, most denominations are fine with vaccines. Catholics, Eastern and Oriental Orthodox, Amish, Anglican, Baptist, Mormons, Congregational, Episcopalian, Jehovah's Witness, Lutheran, Mennonite, Methodist, Quaker, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Seventh-Day Adventist, and Unitarian-Universalist...all fine with vaccination.

The Christians against vaccination are the Christian Scientists, the Dutch Reformed Congregations, and the faith healing denominations. (Christian Scientists think vaccinations are unnecessary because they think they can cure disease with prayer, but they don't have a religious problem with getting vaccinations if they are required to enroll in school or travel or things like that).

This notion that gab is what Twitter would look like if it didn't deplatform anyone who isn't left of center, is misleading.

Many normal, peace loving, non bigoted folks simply do not agree with Twitteratti on a plethora of issues, but that needn't make them evil, and banning them is not helpful

If you drive away normal centrist folks to gab, it is worsening public discourse, not to mention, Twitter's bottom line. One can agree to disagree without bans and elaborate shaming rituals.

Head count is not infinite. I don't agree with the GP's claim that they aren't running out of money (if they don't show a profit, they are running out of money, by definition), but developer time is a limited resource that must be carefully allocated.

They have a very hard problem on their hands of estimating the revenue growth new features will bring, and compare them to costs savings from better code. I don't think anybody here has enough data to decide on this - it's not impossible that nobody there has enough data either.

The regulatory framework created the incentives and design constraints that led them to cut the corners, and also (partially) tied the FAA’s hands.

At least part of the blame lands on the authors of the regulations that led to this.

Clearly Boeing gets lots of blame too. As with most engineering screwups of this magnitude, multiple organizational failures contributed.
In that case you simply disagree with the Constitution and many free speech fundamentalists about how public discourse works, nowadays even more than centuries ago. That's fine, but there is no need to dress up a simple factual disagreement in all that philosophy. There isn't much contemporary controversy about whether murder and genocide should be illegal, although of course there are exceptions about which there is also not much argument.

In USA history, curtailing the Bill of Rights has always been a bad thing. Expanding it, e.g. through 14A incorporation, has always been good.

Safety bars keep you from dying if you have to bail, but bailing is still bad. Basically you want to say "take" and have the weight immediately removed. There is no use in straining yourself or risking injury on a bail; you have the lift or you don't.
You misunderstood me.

Yes, I think that at least more training/certification of the pilots for the 737 MAX is needed.

My argument was, that after fixing MCAS and proper recertifying the 737 MAX there is no fundamental reason not to put it back into business. And that not putting it back into business also carries some safety risks. I never claimed that it should be put back into business because of that.

But Nader didn't present a fundamental reason why the machine would be unsafe and completely ignored the consequences of permanentely grounding the 737 MAX.

New UI really makes Gmail barely usable, basically on any kind of connection. Since it came into being, I avoid checking gmail because its unbearably slow and buggy.

I have 20 years of XP in this industry and build large gov services, and I am astonished that Google allows itself such a failure.

If you want, I will make a gif of Gmail unresponsiveness in default Chrome browser on 50MB connection - taking more then a minute to load and then some more to stop glitching. Then I will show you ProtonMail, Zimbra etc. having no problem whatsoever.

Its embarrassing and affects all their cloud tools in some measure. Google was once a good company. Today, most of the IT people I know or work with try to replace anything google.

Above post from the google employee which "cares" makes me angry - what do you think m8 ? That we are squirrels ? Shame on you. If you have some moral decency that you propagate here, go and work for somebody non-evil, take as many people you can with you and write a blog about it so anybody can know.
>Yes. They knew full well that the MAX would do that in circumstances where a normal 737 would not.

To be clear, you're saying Boeing engineers knew this as early as the CAD drawing stage?

This comment turned out an interesting experiment in internet crowd dynamics. I have over 40 upvotes at this point, but all the replies to my post have been more-or-less negative. My guess is that the people who are happy with Microsoft or generally agree can't be bothered to reply, while the few who've been burnt would take this as an opportunity to take out their anger (very justifiably so).

Most of us know internet opinions behave in this manner where you mostly get to hear discontent, but it's still fascinating to experience it first hand.

(I'm not in any way criticizing the replies to my post, which have been diligently written with real life examples and definitely given me some things to think about)
I can be quite the oddball, colourful to put it mildly - in both "good" and "less then stellar" ways.

But I never really knew how people I work with perceive me, beyond the coworkers I was really close with. I figured they mostly saw me as some sort of weirdo that they tolerate at best.

Then one day, I left a job and went back to the same company a few weeks later. On day 1 of my come back, within the first 5 minutes of doing a mock welcome - I already knew everyone in this new team, another lad came behind me and lifted me up, in a celebratory fashion.

It was really unexpected but it's one of my fondest memory. This took place in small satellite office with an overall great vibe, so YMMV.

But all in all, I don't think there's anything wrong with being recognized for the morale boost you might provide to your surroundings.
I agree about the settings. I really hope the plasma mobile guys get something ready for when the phone starts to ship.

538 gave Trump and the Cavaliers similar odds in 2016, something I pointed out to a bunch of people after the Cav's won but before Trump did. Golden State were substantial favorites, yet the Cav's beat them. Nobody is blaming 538 for calling GSW the favorites, few people think their probabilities were wrong. Why is it so different for the presidential election?

This is something I see on Twitter a bit (usually with "academics" who spend a lot of time telling other people how they should live their lives). "Very important work" is very subjective. Almost all of us want to think that our work is very important (myself included).
> There are going to be false positives, we will make mistakes, but we certainly care a lot about fixing issues like this when we hear about them.

Oh really? Then what is the mechanism by which an affected user can report an issue like this and receive individual, accountable response? Because that is what a company that cares about fixing issues does.

As far as I can tell, the only redress available for any issue like this with Google is 1) be a big enough name like Jamie Zawinksi (he has been posting about struggles with this exact issue for several months) that your blog post gets attention, or 2) hope your blog post makes the front page on a site like HN.
You can have both an IRA and a 401(k) and contribute to both in any given tax year (up to limits set by the IRS for each individual account).

In fact, you SHOULD have both since 401(k)s are hugely inflexible compared to IRAs so it makes sense to fund an IRA before a 401(k) unless you're getting a match on the 401(k) contributions. So if you want to save 10% for retirement and you get a 5% match on your 401(k) then it usually makes most sense to put 5% in the 401(k) to get the match and 5% in the IRA for control and flexibly.

If you then want to bump up your your retirement contribution to 15% then 5% should go in the 401(k) and 10% into the IRA, staying within the legal IRA contribution limits. Once your IRA is maxed out, then the remaining should go into the 401(k) (until your 401(k) is maxed out, of course).

401(k) can also be rolled over to IRAs when you leave your employer, so even someone who only contributes to a 401(k) will usually end up with an IRA.

> I still find the circumstances _around_ license discussions like this to be filled with a frustrating amount of amateur lawyering that can be misleading and dangerous.

I could not agree more. Except that I'd blame the lawyers, not the amateurs. There will be amateur discussion, because there are far more needs of the kind than affordable and available lawyers to serve them. If the level of amateur discussion bothers lawyers, the lawyers should raise the level of amateur discussion.

Gregg Toland famously told Orson Welles there wasn't anything about the camera he couldn't learn in half a day. That's true of law, too. With a baseline liberal education, if you put in enough days, you've got it. From there, you develop by immersion and participation. Simple as that.

Of course but if you're recovering from a stall you're going to be very aware of where the aircraft is pointing. You're not going to let the aircraft pitch itself up on you if you're in the middle of telling it to nose down. The danger with pitching up is that the pilot and copilot might be absorbed in some other tasks during a climb and not notice it leading to a stall. That's not really a big of a risk in grand scheme of things but it's still a risk and that kind of maneuvering gets customers complaining. The solution was using MCAS to detect the conditions prior to that kind of stall and deal with it.
That's so odd.

For me personally I'm making a decision about where to move after I graduate and I'm planning on living a little farther from where I work specifically to get away from all the samey chain restaurants (holy cow they're depressing) to be in a more densely populated area with more small businesses. I have a hard time imagining I'm alone.
Neither.

If it's an option, I would suggest a late stage startup (Series C or later).

Such companies give you the advantage of being less risky, and having enough structure to support folks that are new to the industry. They can also still have big challenges with impact and untapped growth which help you learn more in your career.

The downside is that you may see less financial upside compared to Google or Facebook and you will have less liquidity until the startup goes public or gets acquired by a public company.

You will need to do more homework and research to understand a late stage startup's potential, see how strong the team is, etc. If you go to a big company like Google, you can assume all those things are solid so it's less to be concerned about.

>Microsoft doesn't get a bad rep like facebook or google, because their business model is not based on pushing ads onto their users and selling their users' data, which everybody hates.

I really hate Windows 10 automatically turning off all my privacy setting each time it updates, and re-installing ads for candy crush and other junk on my start menu after I'd explicitly removed it. Windows 10 tracks damn near everything you do and sends it back to Microsoft.
Ok I took out "That was a mistake." Fair point. Also, I looked at the history of the users who flagged it, and none of them had a history of flagging obviously good articles.

I don't know if the flagging system needs rethinking though. The way it works has been stable for years. I appreciate that such claims are a bit irritating, because they're based on a view of the site that not everybody gets to see. But the [flagged] marker is publicly visible, and if you or anyone sees an article in [flagged] state that ought not to be flagged—say, one whose signal/noise ratio is as high as the OP or better—then please tell us (hn@ycombinator.com is best, because that way we're sure to see it). You especially, because we know how much and how sincerely and for how long you have cared about open discussion on this site.

Sure, but that's different than the claim that increasing shareholder value isn't in the interest of most Americans due to the fact that most Americans aren't shareholders (which is false).

[EDIT] I mean the claim that most Americans aren't shareholders is objectively false, thus claiming that increasing shareholder value isn't in the interests of most Americans because of this is objectively false. How valuable increasing shareholder value is to most Americans is not objectively false, as it depends on your opinion on the consequences of some people benefiting more than others.
Can you honestly not afford it? Or do you just think it shouldn't cost $20/month? I'm the sole income earner in a family of 5 and switched us to fastmail.

A lot depends upon how frugal you already are, but I found it trivial to find some extra savings to pay for it. There's a few things I like to treat myself to, and doing that one less time per month pays for it. Eating out one less time per month pays for it too. Ordering slightly cheaper meals for myself when we eat out would also pay for it.

Hell, when I turned off my home server, which I rarely used, I saved $9/month in electricity. If you live in a high power cost state, do a personal power audit. Our family was pretty lazy with turning things off until I figured out how much it costs to run any given thing.

With a family of 6, if you haven't crunched your finances, there are lots of very minor behavior changes that can save you enough money to pay for something like fastmail.
You can absolutely make it so that gmail accepts your legitimate email if you're delivering email at high scale. A lot of people here running their own email servers would have no problem with the same emails getting delivered if they were hosted on any decently-sized platform, because part of the cost / value of those platforms is that there are human beings doing relationship management with counterparts at Google, fixing deliveribility issues when google is hard-bouncing, or maintaining reputation of IPs (which you can't do -- thats what the original article is running into, it doesn't matter if you've been delivering off the same IP for years if you're only sending small amounts of traffic).

> In the old days, if I didn't receive mail because my mail provider was rejecting it, it was me who had to talk to them. Free has a cost.

In the old days average email user was being inundated with low-quality spam and getting mired in fraud. Google fixed that problem for their end users. In doing so, they made it hard for a small % of people who want to run their own email servers, but they've given all of these people an out -- go sign up with someone who knows what they're doing, and google is going to effectively outsource the fraud/spam management to those companies.

You can tell me I have it wrong but I'm literally just describing the landscape that actively exists and how to navigate around it for anyone who wants to, but you're not taking out google.
Why didn't you link JWZ's blog post?

> A biz that can't deliver to gmail is a terrible smell though.

If anything, it means that teams are probably too independent and that there is no central approval process for things like sending emails.

For example, a lot of companies use products like Greenhouse. I am sure this will send email from your domain on your behalf. If you don't know what you have to talk to the DNS administrators to add a bunch of TXT records to enable that, you will just notice that some percentage of emails never get delivered (or if the product doesn't tell you that they're bouncing, you may never know. how could you?)

If you use something like Zendesk, you'll note how many people have been burned by this. By default, they end up using something like support.yourdomain.com because despite detailed instructions on how to set up the necessary DNS records to send email from youdomain.com, people still fail to do it right and then complain "nobody ever sees my support tickets".

My point is, email has been abused so heavily that it is somewhat difficult to set up a working system. That was my experience when I ran my own email server. Although I did OK with delivery, I also aggressively filtered messages and used greylisting. This broke a lot of broken email systems, whose administrators immediately blamed me. (I had a long back-and-forth with some company that wanted to hire me. Their email system was super broken. They blamed me and said that they weren't interested in a programmer that couldn't set up a mail server. LOL.)
There are two (or more) sides to every story. Would love to get a full 360 perspective on this scenario.
I have to imagine that a lot of the apps would have a dotfile or some plaintext configs somewhere seen as how it's all just Linux. At least I would hope so.
"The phenomenon is not rare, but nobody had looked into it in detail prior to that."

Hmm, you're right. What you are reading between the lines is apparently correct. Both the article and the wikipedia entry seem to actively avoid stating things in definite terms on that detail.

The first article I read about it said that the "discoverers" knew about it for some time, and it wasn't until they tried googling it that they realized it didn't have a name.

My sister, who by coincidence lives just outside Calgary (where Steve was "discovered") tells me that she's known about it since she was a child and just assumed it was part of the Northern Lights. But... that's anecdotal and doesn't make up for the recent articles focusing on the newer discovery as to its cause.

It is naked-eye visible as long as your light pollution is such that you can see Aurorae when they happen.

The other part that was recently discovered is that it can be seen as far central as the equator. Can that be seen by the naked eye? I think that might not be stated so clearly either.

I have also not heard if the south presents the same or similar phenomenon.
I do not believe aerodynamic stability depends on whether the inputs change or not. For instance, stall a Cessna 172 and it will tend to pitch down on its own even if you keep pulling on the yoke.

Also an aerodynamically unstable plane isn't a plane in which a stall is irrecoverable. It's a plane that, left to its own devices, will not make things better for you.
Yes, I see the issue more clearly now. So many aspects about American TAX I never understood, the one were citizens who are living in another country and paying tax there also have to pay American income TAX always seemed brutal.

Most people in the UK are PAYE and the employer does tax fillings and as such the need for a individual to file any form of tax return is lower than the American system that from my understanding - mandates it and the onus for any tax information is placed solely upon the individual. Which I would of thought opens up a larger can of worms for fraud potential from the payer and payee as well as opening up less skilled people into realms they will make mistakes to their own detrement.

Yet if you're a corporation - tax seems to offer more freedom in expression compared to individuals. Which is the norm in many a country.

This is a bad opinion. :) We do not want people using iPhones if better options become available.

For open to succeed, open has to still be appealing to the masses. The more people who embrace a true Linux platform, the more options you will have to buy phones running true Linux platforms. Aka, it is in your best interest to recognize you are an extremely uncommon user and that you benefit if more common users can use the product.

Even as a fairly technical user who likes to have a lot of settings and options, I do not ever want to have to pop open a text editor on my phone to fix an app. I'm fine with it being possible to do so, but I had better never have to do it.

Arguably, since the hardware should support you running whatever flavor of hackery you want, you should support the phone having apps designed with the average user in mind, knowing full well you are capable of customizing it to your liking anyways.
The sentence is pretty clear. It's equally clear that the sentence is not meant to be taken literally.
