It has to do with the classification during the system safety analysis (SSA). IIRC, the MCAS was classified as 'hazardous' if failed but not 'catastrophic'. If it were classified as a higher hazard level, it presumably would levy additional requirements. It's a risk-based approach, which sounds like they failed to appropriately classify the risk.

The best reason for exactly these individual changes you are describing is that - and this is a really funny and convenient coincidence - you are benefiting of them first and foremost yourself!

> - Stop flying to conferences. Go to a local meetup. It's fun. And cheaper. If you really need to get out of town, take a train.

No unnecessary hassle and stress from flying to far away places or getting stuck in traffic jams.

> - Start working part time, and part of that part time remotely.

Not sure why this is beneficial to those species or climate or anything but working less gives you time to focus on family, friends and hobbies.

Meat is unhealthy - period. It's a nice to have but it is at the end of the day just not good for you.

Applied shift of focus away from materialism and unimportant fuss like whatever new feature and gadget just come out.

The bigger constructs are made out of these smaller pieces. Focusing on just the high level abstractions will end up with your application being difficult to fix when something lower level breaks and focusing on just the lower level code will cause your application to end up unscaleable or refactorable because of poor design.

I don't see why not. My podcast grew from 0 to 35 listeners in less than four months with no advertisement, and I'm just some nobody. Two of the guests we have had went on to start their own podcasts afterwards. It seems inevitable that podcasts would grow, as they're a more convenient way to access talk entertainment that doesn't necessarily have a corporate overlord.

I hate to sound like an ad, but anchor has made it really easy to put our podcast on every platform and start running ads right away (even if they are just ads for anchor atm).

Being stoic doesn’t mean not expressing your feelings.

Issues that someone would have to bottle up because it introduces entropy in their feelings about life might be a non-issue/non-existent to a stoic. i.e. why get angry and express my feelings if someone that cuts me off on the highway, when I’ve learned not to care about such events? There’s plenty of other things a stoic can express their feeling about.

Isn't that an unfair comparison? Businesses usually make property more valuable, because businesses provide jobs and people want to live somewhere near where they work. Businesses also congregate in the most expensive areas, because they're the only ones that can afford those prices, but people usually don't buy real estate in the most expensive areas purely as a real estate investment. How many city centres have property that sits empty? So I'm not sure that this is a good comparison.

I like the print function style of print, but unfortunately many of the "My First Hello World in Python" tutorials available online broke when the old print was removed. Those tutorials usually don't make a point of saying they're only valid in Python 2, and of course all new users just learning a language for a first time will download the latest version to try.

For a new programmer, it can be a very discouraging experience having to debug even your first hello world program even though it perfectly matches the code in the tutorial.

I think your version is reasonably clear, but it won't survive automatic indentation in any tool.

I use the parantheses the way I do, because editors will auto-indent the code that way. In other words if I press <tab> in Emacs, things won't move around in my example, so I know it's indented properly.

However, within that style, some people do prefer to put the operator at the end of a continuation line, and some prefer it at the beginning.

The goal of the digestion is not to synthesize proteins. Quite the opposite actually: it's supposed to break down proteins into amino acids. Amino acids are then recombined into proteins inside cells, according to the DNA.

Lots of Google stuff runs on 2.7 (eg. even recently published build scripts) and it looks like Google is going to maintain 2.7 for themselves if necessary rather than porting tons of scripts over to 3. I can't help but agree with their utilitarian approach here.

Looks like there is hard ceiling in scalability of centralized internet platforms where things go nuts with enormous size of varied social (mis)behavour.

Just like with real authoritarian societes, they need expensive control and justice mechanism including strong censorship aparatus, otherwise the platform risks collapse or fragmentation.

Trust can't be scaled easily.

This gives me hope that the online world won't be eaten by few entities and will evolve back into more distributed federation, with local trust plus solid standards as lesson learned.
> implying that less labor is REQUIRED

If less labor is required for tasks A, B and C, then that frees up people to do new tasks D, E and F.

It is untrue that there is a fixed amount of work to be done, so when some of it is automated, then that necessarily creates unemployment. That's the "lump of labor fallacy".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lump_of_labour_fallacy

It's also fallacious thinking to assume that every person must be employed working for wages.

If someday the economy as a whole can produce everything people need by employing 10% of the people to build robots, then we can organize it such that the people who like to build robots can do that, and the people who like to paint, or sculpt, or hike or sail can do that.

There is no universal law of the universe that requires the 10% of robot builders to own everything on earth, and the other 90% should live in rags, filth and sickness.

if you indeed own such a small amount, then yes, you vote is as proportionally impactful as your share. I don't see what's wrong.

As for management giving themselves 10x voting rights - that doesn't just happen out of the blue. If a large portion of the shareholders decide that it's the right thing to do (by voting), then yes, it can happen. But i highly doubt that a majority shareholder would vote themselves out of control. It's quite likely that the founder is doing this to retain control despite offering to create more shares. The new buyers of said share knows this, and tacitly agree as indicated by their purchase of said share.

Careful - the belief in evolution as a sacred and holy process is what leads to racism.

I know you said you're half sarcastic, but that means you half-believe it.

Evolution is simply a process by which generations of organisms become more fit to their environment over time. Treating it as something more - some kind of natural state of the universe or hand of destiny is what leads to the idea that it's necessary to facilitate it or perhaps remain uninvolved to allow it to come to a natural completion.

That's a real compassion killer, and it pushes people to belive that their hate is righteous and that they maybe even should hate others in order to help facilitate the divine evolutionary process.

To re-iterate: evolution is an observed phenomenon of the universe. That is fact. The ideas that it should be prioritized or respected or enhanced or left to do its work are all subjective beliefs, and that's a choice.

Humans are a lot less important than we like to think. Less than specks of dust in this vast universe. But pretending that we have no impact or control of any kind in the process of evolution on Earth is just an attempt wash our hands of responsibility. There are many objective ways that human behavior meaningfully impacts the process of evolution on Earth. I don't have the time to find sources or anything, but extinction events, usually involving large animals, have been reordered many times following the arrival of humans to a geographical location. We have the ability to reflect on our own behavior and choose to bahave differently in the future. Given that awareness, do we not carry responsibility for our behavior? That last sentence is obviously not a fact or objective truth. It's an assertion based on my own beliefs in compassion and the importance of reducing suffering in the world, but I urge you to consider it.

I had to look this one up. PEP 572 [1] introduces "the walrus operator". Your claim that it "stunk badly" made me think that perhaps it was proposed and rejected, however it's listed as 'accepted' and among the new features from CPython 3.8.

AFAICT it allows for optional binding. I suppose it might seem like 'cargo cult' because Rust and Swift have 'if let'?

Even here the utility is dubious. A main product of Trump's twitter is food for comedians or useless information. I believe it is important to keep updated on politics and to hold people in power to high standards, but few of the things Trump has to say cannot wait a day.

Actually you could say that twitter availability is a cause of Trump expressing so many controversial statements.
