100 years isn't so bad.

Try living in a developing country. It loses 50% of its value in 15 years. By the time you save up for college, you need twice as much.
This is a phenomenal failure of management. The failure of the team is always the fault of the leader.

I've seen this so many times in industry. Some decision on high comes through that costs need to be cut, which means cutting corners. It always means cutting corners, because the only way they have to measure costs is Salary × Butts-In-Seats. So they hire lower cost people (i.e. less experienced, often off-shore where there is no oversight on process) and cut the number of people (often several key roles that would put the brakes on bad plans).

They make a short-staffed team of people who don't know any better, then look around confused when things go wrong. "But the PowerPoints said we'd be successful. The management consultants said everything was on track".

When it's a website for a government bureau, people just throw up their hands and act like this is normal. The customer eats the cost of the useless product and they start over, usually with the same contractor on an extension, often not learning any lessons in the process (how could they? They can't imagine a world in which any of this is their fault).

It should never happen for any project. It should be a damn crime, upwards of fraud, with massive fines. But stuff that can kill people, this should be sending people to jail.

I can hear the meetings in my head, I've been through them so many times. "Who knew this was a problem?" "Uhhh, I brought it up at the outset, you said it wasn't my place to bring it up." "You're on report for your negative attitude."
You don’t necessarily need automated tests, but you absolutely do need to test your tests. With any new test, I always verify that 1) it passes with the fix 2) it fails without the fix. Many programmers skip step 2 and it’s a good way to end up with tests that don’t test what you think they do.

I don’t have much problems with assuming parties are honorable. In fact I don’t know how a justice system would work otherwise.

My problem is that our prosecutors are often dishonorable!
Ah, I was not aware of that. But surely the pilots were under the impression that such a warning message existed?
> But months after the planes were flying, company engineers realized that the warning light worked only on planes whose customers had bought a different, optional indicator.

If I am to read this correctly, the angle-of-attack disagree light is installed on all Boeing 737-MAX aircraft. For customers who did not buy on optional additional indicator, the angle-of-attack disagree light was always off, even if there is a disagreement between to sensors of the angle of attack of the aircraft.

Doesn't this seem dangerous in-and-of itself? If a pilot assumes that the light is off because there is not a disagreement, instead of because there is no information available, she is acting on incorrect information, and might try to address problems unrelated to the actual problem.

Also, pilot may switch aircraft and expect the same functionality of safety features and may make incorrect assumptions about the functioning of this light.

pretty easy actually. get a normal job. your startup isn’t headed for success if you think you can do it with 5 people for 2 years.
Hmm, I don't know. It seems reasonable for an airline to think that A) the standard plane is more than safe enough (as it should be), and that B) other airlines will have a competitive advantage if they don't opt for the warning light. We can certainly blame them for putting profits above safety by taking calculated risks, but I don't think we can expect companies to act otherwise, at least under current economic systems.

Really, it's Boeing, and governmental oversight bodies, who were in the best position to know if the plane was dangerous without a warning light, and therefore to make sure all planes have a warning light.
It's about 10-15% on my app but Firefox users are generally super smart so they provide great feedback.

One thing Firefox ROCKS at is that they support extensions/addons on mobile!

Chrome won't add them on mobile because they don't want adblock there.

In my experience, error handling code is often completely untested by any means.
The "light" is just a warning text that appears on the flight display, so the "no light installed" and "light installed but off" states are not distinguishable (as far as I have understood it).

Yep. just happened a few minutes ago here in UK. Anyone got a fix for this?
So is that text warning always available and just software enabled if the packaged is purchased, or is there extra hardware involved?

They're absolutely different. If you're a pilot and you expect to see an error message when the two alpha vanes disagree, you'll be lulled into a false sense of security when that text never appears even in the case of a failure.

A pilot needs to be able to trust all of the instruments in the plane.

I had CFS that originated as a post viral illness after Epstein Barr Virus. The kicker is that I was in the military when this happened. By Tuesday every week, after 2 PT sessions, I was on a downhill slope. If I did a third session on Wednesday it was likely I was spending 5-7 days in bed. I'd been hospitalised for exhaustion.

I had every medical test under the sun and everything came back negative except my recent markers for EPV. I was lucky, my OC signed off for me to not to exercise and I didn't do PT for 9 months. During this period my CFS very slowly got better and I appear to be mostly better now.

You don't want to get CFS while in Army

What I doubt is that, considered in isolation, the sale of a manual car with all budget options is more profitable than the sale of the same manual car with additional luxury options. Sorry if that is a misinterpretation of your comment.
Indeed!

You may find your co-founders say, "We have a good runway. Let's increase your salary temporarily / issue you a bonus to help offset the increased expenditures. Is there a way for us to adjust our hours to better accommodate your needs? How do we take more off your plate so you can focus on your family, and only work on the most important things for the business with the time remaining?"

FWIW- This is also why finding the right co-founders matters a lot. Having deep trust with your co-founders so that you can have these types of difficult conversations matters a lot.
> Many of the laws that our important to daily life are hundreds of years old.

Any law that’s important gets used and enforced regularly. The incentives of the modern bureaucratic state mean that any law that is used regularly will eventually be superseded by a more specific law that covers the circumstances more specifically; that’s why there are laws for mail fraud, computer fraud,, wire fraud etc. instead of just prosecuting people for fraud.

Any prosecution that relies on using a law that hasn’t been enforced in multiple decades is an obvious instance of prosecutorial discretion, i.e. injustice.

It’s like how the FBI works; they may not be able to prove you did what they started investigating you for but if they catch you lying about anything you can be prosecuted for it and it’s really easy to catch someone in a lie if interviews aren’t recorded but reconstructed from the agent’s notes after the fact.

Law enforcement can either follow rules and principles or it can be “We’re going to get these bastards.” The latter is corrupt. Laws long unenforced should lapse unless explicitly renewed.
Dumb ones, yeah.
Regarding your link, I don't have time to read it (did skim it) but I'm talking about personal levels of discrimination, not governmental. If you want to talk about institutional discrimination, some may have it worse, I know a trans girl whose operation is being repeatedly pushed back. I can see why, given the strictures on NHS funding, but it really has made things miserable for her.

Your sister may have just had a shitty employer. Someone I knew told me of finding someone literally crying in pain due to RSI, and the employer's response was telling them to take painkillers. There are bad employers, for sure. Mine aren't.

Does your sister's experience invalidate mine? No. Does mine invalidate hers? No. We are stuck, perhaps on terminology of what discrimination is, or perhaps I've been very lucky. People have been extremely decent to me, that's all I can say.

My fear is that by talking up the alleged stigma, we're reinforcing or even creating it. I hope that makes sense.
It unclear if this article is supposed to be a summary of what the Agile Manifesto is, or a current day critique of it. If the former, not sure what value is created since it's so common knowledge. If the latter, would have loved some more practical examples of what you feel has changed.
Does a pilot know whether the particular plane has it installed or not?

Laws should have a given lifespawn, and be re-evaluted at the end of that lifespan for relevancy and effectiveness given the current culture. Too many laws remove freedom and power from the average citizen, and are actually dangerous if left un-audited. We have so many laws, you can't know them to follow them, thus making people criminals without knowledge of wrongdoing.

Then it appeared in the Worms. https://youtu.be/4dKnnUcNrwU
I see. It is still the same problem where the pilot does not have an indication as to whether the safety feature is telling them that there is not a problem or if the safety feature is not telling them anything about the existence of a problem.
How does Mastodon handle governance for content that gets reported? It sounds like a logistics nightmare. It's nice that the apps are getting a way to blur things, but I would imagine that the bigger problem would be bad actors running instances, and finding ways to keep them away.

>I'm actually curious about how the common user reacted to this. There isn't a clue about this on (1) the add-on page, (2) Mozilla's home page, (3) no emails sent out (I get plenty of other emails from Mozilla).

That's a good question. Of course we have to assume we're talking about the common add-on user, since some users don't have addons.

An incredible 3.2 million users (out of 10 million daily active) attempted to download Adblock Plus on Saturday, after it was disabled. Some of these might be duplicates of course, but I think this suggests:

(1) most users who use addons noticed when they were disabled
(2) most of them were confused (at least initially) about the reason this happened, since there was no direct communication from Mozilla about the problem in the browser itself
(3) many of these attempted to redownload their extensions as a solution to the problem

I would guess part of the reason is because they aren't rational - they are upset that things changed and interfered with their snooping even though it has been irrelevant since radio and code books have existed. If I say "Aunt Bertha had a baby." without context you have no idea if I am being literal or signaling something sinister.

A far harsher and less charitable theory is that border control is where paranoids, xenophobes, and authoritarians accumulate and the point is control and punishing "the other" instead of actual effectiveness.
You ever see one of those titles where individually you know all the words, but don't know what they mean together?
Really, if you buy a car with 6 airbags that are missing is your fault that you did not bought the model that included an extra airbag ? You were tricked to believe you were safe,

Required safety features should not randomly be present if I don't buy extra packages.

Edit What if they also forgot to enable other things, it is possible that this warning is one of a couple of things that got rushed and not properly tested.
So there a weird thing about angle of attack: the autopilot uses it, but civilian pilots don’t use it (they use airspeed and descent angle). It’s used in the military, and airlines who recruit a lot of military pilots tend to buy the angle of attack option to get them comfortable. Ignoring the little MCAS issue, it was a fine reasoning, the autopilot can detect a disagree (I guess they just drop out, but I don’t know about cat 3 landings), ex-military pilots need a disagree because they read it, and other pilots don’t need to know.
I used be really interested in historica returns (especially Dimson, Marsh, and Staunton) until I learned that profits have as much to do with squeezing labor as anything else. If you want to predict future returns you need to know how badly working people will be treated in the future.

Yes, data on mercury toxicity is quite clear that vaccines as safe.

However it's unfortunately easy to find sham "doctors" that will diagnose whatever the patient requests - mercury poisoning, EBV, chronic lyme disease, just pay in full and all your beliefs will be confirmed! Just don't look too closely at the placebo, er, cure...
The software was also simpler. And we were not really great to shipping stable software in the past.
Which conclusion?
Making a safety feature costing a small fraction of the plane is straight up dumb and irresponsible- Boeing F’d up hard and are now in CYA mode
Yes.

An in the aftermath of the Lion Air crash, Boeing were telling pilots that this warning message would alert them to that kind of problem before takeoff.

Boeing were telling pilots that this warning message would alert them to that kind of problem before takeoff.

I doubt that, the alpha vanes aren't particularly useful until the plane is actually moving at a fairly decent clip.
I’m not sure how we will ever get humanity to agree on whatever solution is necessary. There is too much profit to be made in the short term, and the consequences won’t be felt by the people destroying the environment today.
> Logicomix, is terrific, informative, and has great art.

I strongly disagree. Logicomix is informative in the same way a Hollywood biopic on Alan Turing is. Logicomix' point of view is that everyone that worked on the foundations of logic went mad. And the narrative sometimes bends the facts so that they better fit the model. IMO, reader have to be cautious with everything they learn from this source.

It's been a few years since I've read it and discussed it with co-workers at university, but I remember a few examples. The comics depicts a violent crisis of Frege, a moment a pure madness and antisemitic rage...that never existed. Frege was a very polite professor, with a Jewish PhD student, and it was a complete surprise to discover after his death that in his last years he secretly wrote vitriolic diatribes. They also "cheated" with Cantor's mental health. The depiction of Russel's child years is very far from the truth — at the time, I read a few chapters of Russel's memoirs to check on this.

IMO, Logicomix went too far in order to seduce a large audience. Yet I could forgive the historical lies if there was good mathematics in the book. But when they tried to explain the barber's paradox, they could not even write it correctly. They show Cantor's hotel, but do not try to explain what infinity is.

tl;dr
Historical lies and no mathematical content, and even a wrong paradox, Logicomix has stretched "popularization" too far.
Nope, they left out the angle of attack indicator which their pilots are not trained to use. They had no clue that they were leaving the disagree indicator with it and that this indicator was crucial for an MCAS that they didn’t know existed, and why doesn’t the MCAS handle the disagree correctly while the autopilot can?
As with IPv4 runout, people will refuse to even start thinking about economic incentives until the problem happens then lawyers will spend five years coming up with some kind of "technically it's not the FIB entry that you're paying for" solution.
Wouldn't it just make more sense to keep all the data encrypted on a cloud service and not travel with any of the data physically? One step further would be to not travel with any devices at all, and just purchase something after crossing the border.

Per paper, it's 0.9% real capital gain return since 1950 in the US. That's smaller than the 1.9% real gdp per capita of the US since 1950, meaning people are actually spending a lower percentage of income toward housing. (mind you 1950 typical housing, which is far worse than 2019 typical housing)

You can probably chalk a lot of this up to land value increases - as population increases, but targets only a small segment of land, land values will go up. (especially as that population earns more in real terms)

Great paper, but lots of limitations. That they can't factor in taxes all that well ("Since quantifying the time- and country-varying effect of taxes on returns with precision is
beyond the scope of this study, throughout this paper we focus on pre-tax returns from an investor
perspective.") really distorts knowing how well the true asset returns are for different classes.
> Boeing performed an internal review and determined that the lack of a working warning light “did not adversely impact airplane safety or operation,”

> after the crash of Lion Air Flight 610 […] conducted another review and again found the missing alert did not pose a safety threat

How was it possible to come to this conclusion? Twice!? Even after it caused a crash!?
No, that's the point. All 737 MAX planes were supposed to have an angle of attack disagree annunciator. Boeing thought all 737 MAX planes were sold with a working angle of attack annunciator. Turns out only some of them had working warnings. Boeing discovered that the annunciator would only work under certain configurations but decided that this wasn't serious enough to notify airlines or the FAA. And then Lion Air crashed one of these managerial marvels.
What's wrong with the hamburger menu? It seems like a good compromise of quickly accessible functionality for little screen real estate. For desktop apps with plenty of screen real estate it's crazy (looking at you gnome) but on mobiles it's fine, especially when the alternatives seem to be some sort of hidden and undiscovered slide out menu or long button press.
It is not surprising that property rights are the source of true wealth, and that property owners as cultural descendants of the feudal lords of the past have the history of the development of law and economy on their side
I don't think they was saying we physically remove all housing.

Um, so I would a car every few months?
I would absolutely read a write-up of how you did this.
But how can you even diagnose a failing AoA sensor, if there is no warning message but you expect it to be indicated by one? Is there any testing done on ground by the engineers after each flight?
Yep - that is why many love profiling - security theater that doesn't even inconvenience them because they are the "right people". Plus it focuses on "the bad people".

Even though it has a trivial workaround of not looking the part. The Lod Airport Massacre "terrorism swap" with Japanese Red Army Terrorists and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-External Operations in 1972 shows just how useless it is as a measure.
Military or not you should know about the AoA disagree and the presence of MCAS as the combination can be quite deadly. Knowing the actual angle of attack could be useful, but knowing what sort of cascading failures to expect is critically important.
> While this seems very painful for the shop and causing long wait for consumers, it seems like Tesla is being pretty serious about quality control?

If Tesla requires mechanics to use Tesla-made parts, then Tesla should provide those parts in a reasonable amount of time. This isn't rocket science. Every mainstream (i.e. not Ferrari) car company is able to do it.
