That is a retro-fit of the interpretation.

The phrase 'User Experience' was invented by Norman of the Nielson Norman Group. He had a book to sell and a professional niche to make. That is fine but the consequence is that now we have thousands of other 'Normans' who aren't seem to think they are the most important people on somewhat bloated teams.

Before this Norman chap came along as the god of this new discipline there was some care for the user taught in computer science degrees. It has always been a consideration.

When the vacuum cleaner was invented Mr Hoover didn't think 'I must hire a UX expert for this new hovering hoover (the Constellation model)'. When the Beatles put on a few gigs at the Cavern Club John and Paul were not using the phrase 'user experience' to get the sweat on the walls right (or the lack of alcohol being sold on the premises).

The phrase 'user experience' would have sucked back then for the process of just designing something right, given technical constraints.

A lot of the best design has been done by engineers who didn't need to consult a higher authority before a product could be brought into being. But we remember engineers for what they invent not how they design the user experience. If we go back to the vacuum cleaner example, some aspects of the design relate to manufacturing techniques, so if you know that it is cheaper to drill a series of holes rather than a slot then that defines how you make something like how the adjustment works. Some intimacy is going on there so the design is not an abstract thing devoid of understanding of either the user or the manufacturing.

With this bizarre Norman invented 'user experience' discipline there is a definite disconnect between this aspect of 'manufacturing'. You have got people trying to boss the team around and have people do what they say when they haven't much of a clue on how it works under the hood. Industrial designers who design things like vacuum cleaners are a different breed. They used to use words like 'ergonomics' in their framing of understanding the user.

Human Computer Interaction was what the buzzword used to be. There has always been consideration of the user, but, if you only have a teletype interface then you end up with something that gets the job done first, user experience comes later when an Alan Kay comes along. His trick was to imagine computers were vastly more powerful and design/build for that.

Our current silo-ing off of design into this 'user experience' thing where only self-professed experts are allowed to put the buttons in the right place cuts the 'design is how it works' part of the problem space out, meanwhile it also makes developers able to slack off in this area. We are all human and we can all do 'user experience' (despite lots of design that goes to the contrary).

There are multiple lawsuits against Boeing going already, but don’t forget the FAA signed off on the plan, and some time ago formally adopted a policy of trust whatever the airlines say without checking carefully. Why even have a federal regulatory agency for air safety if they’re not going to independently scrutinize what the airlines do?

It certainly is, but you should consider upgrading to something else. Sooner or later modern browsers won't work on it, and certainly you'll have to upgrade your hardware and newer hardware won't run XP anyway.
That's commentary. We can reasonably speculate they were looking at warnings and the flight log, autopilot is only one part of the flight director and as autopilot was never turned back on, pointing at it seems odd.
One of my favorite ER patients was a guy who got stabbed in the chest by his girlfriend with a 10" serrated bread knife. Came in with the knife still in him, buried to the handle. Bellowing that this proved ... something about him. He was clearly pumped. But not really bleeding. After a chest CT and removing the foreign object from his chest, there was still no real bleeding. The knife had gone in at a bit of an angle, but what really saved him was the fat. 10" of steel and it never made it to the pleural cavity.

First case report I'm aware of where fat was cardioprotective.

The truth of the matter is that the 737classic update from 1984 was already too low on the ground for the CFM56 engines to fit. So they had to reshape the nacelles into that odd shark mouth looking oval shape unique to 737s for that little extra bit of ground clearance.
The problem isn’t new, was well known and yet greed made them update that same old airframe for 35 more years until it all came crashing down (literally, sadly)

In one, you intentionally give false information and lead the government believe you in good faith complied. In the other, the data is inaccessible and the government is aware it is inaccessible.

While I agree that having your software development on the other side of the planet can increase the chance of bad communication, I think it's not the biggest issue involved here.

Tesla is terrible when to comes to service. They actively discourage you from going to the service center. You cannot talk to people on the phone as the wait time is always more than 30 mins. They are stretched really thin in the service department. They need to at least have three times the staff and centers they have today.

Interestingly I haven’t seen one thread about this on r/Tesla over on reddit. They completely pray at the altar of Musk.
This is a great little paper -- with comments and rejoinder! I presented it to a reading group back when it appeared, I enjoyed it so much. Always worth re-reading because Breiman is such a hero of useful probabilistic modeling and insight.

This may be true, unfortunately I couldn't find any hard statistics about who is doing the land clearing and cattle ranching. I'd be curious to read about it.

I found a line in a wikipedia article [1] that says "In 1995 nearly half, 48%, of the deforestation in Brazil was attributed to poorer farmers clearing lots under 125 acres (0.51 km2) in size" though that was 24 years ago so that figure has probably changed.

There is a pretty in-depth study on Amazon deforestation here [2] that says:

>In Amazonia as a whole, large (officially defined in Brazilian Amazonia as > 1000 ha) and medium-sized (101–1000 ha) actors have traditionally predominated in deforestation (Fearnside, 1993, 2008b); but the relative importance of small (≤ 100 ha) farmers has been increasing, as indicated by the decreasing average size of new clearings (Rosa, Souza, & Ewers, 2012)

They also seem to lack hard numbers on who is doing the deforesting:

>Two key questions affecting the relationship of population and deforestation are (a) who are the actors, such as ranchers versus small farmers, and (b) what population and land use is being replaced. If the situation is one of small farmers replacing “unoccupied” forest, then a greater population (of small farmers) translates into more deforestation. If it is ranchers who are replacing “unoccupied” forest, then the same relationship applies, although the number of people will be lower and the amount of deforestation per capita will be much greater. If the situation is one of ranchers replacing small farmers, then the human population will decrease and the rate of deforestation per capita will increase, resulting in a negative relationship between population change and deforestation rate.

They summarize with:

>It is not enough to prohibit deforestation and punish violations—alternatives must be offered for supporting the small farmers who sustain themselves by clearing forest, for both subsistence and commercial production.

You would expect this to be true if returns to scale are concave after some point. Intuitively this makes sense, for anything, after a certain point more of it becomes bad. If production returns to capital are sub-linear at very large (macroeconomic) scales then it would be surprising to see g >= r for any long period of time.
The joy of economic growth is that it enables more and more of us to live the lives of leisure that were the preserve of aristocrats in times past. If you want to live in what Wilde or Adams would have recognised as material comfort and devote yourself to the life of the mind you can get an undemanding part fine job, live in cheap housing and spend the rest of your time at leisure. We live in a world where the norm in developed countries is that people spend a significant fraction of their lives not working, between school and retirement, when people in the bottom decile of income take not just holidays, but international holidays. In many respects in the first world we’re all aristocrats. Most people waste the opportunity to cultivate themselves, to become excellent, but it’s not like aristocrats didn’t mostly waste it too.

You’re right and wrong. It’s not about ‘they willingly didn’t buy the warning light’
but

it was indeed American Airlines who pushed Boeing into making another shortcut warmed up 60 year old design plane with the 737max by asking for a quick lower cost plane. Lower cost that could only be achieved by lower kerosine sucking engines (which didn’t fit under the 737) and by ‘oh god forbid we do not want to train pilots’ type rating commonality.
Let’s not forget that the whole “we only got training via an iPad lesson” is exactly what American et al wanted. They wanted to save money on simulator lessons / new typerating training.
"Well, we didn't tell pilots that MCAS exists, which means we didn't tell them that AoA is hooked up to it, which means that AoA failure isn't relevant to their decision making, so there's no safety threat from not communicating it."

(In case there's doubt: I am not joking, I think this is seriously the argument.)

Yes, I live in Texas with cheap gasoline and the Federal tax credit for Tesla gets cut in half again in about 55 days . . so Tesla won't be cheaper I bet.

Tesla's have brakes, tires, power steering just like internal combustion cars and LOTS of electronics to go wrong, I think upkeep at zero dollars is a farce.

Some people are able to succinctly summarise an idea into a cliche. Some ideas need a little bit more explaining.

I have relatives that are user experience experts, paid very well and they attend lots of meetings all around the world doing very important 'user experience' things. In my own personal experience I have had to endure meetings with people who are user experience experts. From what I have gleaned over the years from how this software development game is going I am okay to declare 'nuanced bullshit' over what 'UX' is about.

How we have got here is not the fault of anyone in particular but it is going to be changing. Already 'user interface designers' are as good as toast, I think that 'user experience' is ripe to be usurped. For starters is does not embrace a 'customer service' ethos, which is a deeper way of looking at 'user experience' and much more to do with putting the customer first rather than some make-believe trendy discipline.

See it that way if you are having difficulties dissecting my earlier nonsense!

In a “spherical cow in a vacuum“ simplified world if there was massive population growth but a fixed supply of land then real returns to land would be positive during that period. This ignores several nuances of the real world but given that the world population went up by nearly an order of magnitude in the past 150 years its still a huge effect nonetheless.

You're making a broader point, which is fine and all. But your comments would be just as relevant if I said, "I pull out shared code into functions because that technique is useful to me". Your point is so broad that it's like a tautology. I really don't lose any sleep over the foundations of my approach to my work being unsupported by rigorous studies. You can feel free to be a science maximalist and run studies on whether pulling code out into functions is actually useful and all the rest of the approaches we've developed over the years. Meanwhile, I'll happily carry on doing stuff that I know is useful to me, like pulling out functions and using debuggers.

> The article does address that notion -- trees are really good at capturing pollution, and a good amount of that pollution ends up in their fruit.

Right, you wouldn't be able to do this with street trees for that reason, but park trees are fine. The soil just needs to be tested on a regular basis for heavy metals, but that isn't especially difficult; e.g. this has already been done for a lot of community gardens in NYC. While fruit definitely contains whatever pollution is in the environment, unlike many mushrooms it generally doesn't hyper concentrate it.

If you’re buying a diversified basket of real estate assets it should behave like real estate over the long term.

“Boeing Believed a 737 Max Warning Light Was Standard. It Wasn’t.”

This is retrospective ass-covering, to distract us from the fact that the the pilots were never informed as to the existence of MCAS (Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System) and therefore could not even know how to disable it. The presence of or lack thereof of a warning light being rendered specious. And MCAS read only the one AoA sensor, from the captains side.

So to summarize, the pilots don't know about MCAS, MCAS is still engaged even when the auto-pilot is disengaged. A single AoA sensor failed, triggering the MCAS into a nose-down mode, the pilots begin ignorant of this, repeatedly tried to regain level flight using the trim wheel. This they failed at.

“The warning light notifies pilots of a disagreement in the sensors that measure which direction the plane is pointed”

This wouldn't even work in the way described, in a two sensor system, the computer can't tell which sensor is giving false readings. That's why they hooked up MCAS to only the one sensor. And Boeing didn't tell the FFC or the pilots as they would of had to get the plane re-certified and the pilots retrained.

> Doesn't this seem dangerous in-and-of itself?

To me, more dangerous, is that some safety systems are considered optional. Surely the plane either needs a safety feature or not, and it shouldn't be down to someone at an airline to make a decision on?
