why doesn’t the MCAS handle the disagree correctly while the autopilot can?

The autopilot systems cannot cope with AoA disagree, that's why MCAS came into play. The Ethiopian pilots (for some reason) kept trying to engage autopilot. Unfortunately for them MCAS is only needed when autopilot is disabled.
I'm just going off the article, here is my understanding.

The sample program is doing 2^7 = 128 NOPs, 4 at a time for 32 cycles, and then it is doing a memory access.

The address of memory that is going to be accessed is known right before doing the 32 cycles of "work", so a prefetch can be issued at that time.

The meaning of the 'prefetch windown' term is the number of cycles that you have between when you issue the prefetch to when you issue the instruction that accesses the address that was prefetched. So it is based on the structure of the program being analyzed.
I was 100% serious... I don't think that the word BEAM helps... And I probably need more stress, not less.
Rents aren’t particularly volatile and landlords eventually capture all income gains in the form of rent increases.

Also most companies don’t last very long, so equity in a given company is far more likely to go to zero than land with paying tenants.
Yes, it does not work. According to the OP article, Boeing said to American Airlines pilots in November that the warning would work on the ground, but later said it in fact does not.
Excerpt:

"This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and when you start various built-in Windows applications like Internet Explorer, Explorer and media players. These programs and drivers include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. Autoruns reports Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond other autostart utilities.

Isn't all the infrastructure, people employed, offices and everything needed to support something also a waste of energy if it can be replaced by some lines of code? Also with your energy wasting straw man remark i assume you are talking specifically about bitcoin which is just one of many cryptocurrencies and a lot of them aren't based on proof of work.
By before takeoff, I assume that means "during the takeoff roll"

And I hope that also means "before V1".

I know the DC 8 couldn't do it's elevator check until it was moving quite fast, as there was no direct connection between the pilots controls and the elevator and it couldn't respond without airflow.
At least they aren't lying about it. They seem clear there's no hw crypto, and that whatever value is there is in the software.

The pictured chip is an Octavo AM335X, so it should be somewhat similar to a Beaglebone, run Linux, etc. Assuming it's not priced a lot higher than a BB, it may not be a scam.
I'm on your side regarding your implication that the reduced inequality might be helped by public housing. Correlation, however, does not provide validation for a causal implication. Validation should require stronger evidence than correlation.
why don't you tell the truth about were u put the python asshole
Why do you think they did this kind of invasive search? It's very weird to me that border patrol would randomly search all the images on someone's computer. This doesn't even seem like an efficient way to catch criminals. Power trip?

That’s the idea behind 1password’s travel mode. Ostensibly you could do that for an entire device, but the easier you make it for yourself, the easier it is to write legislation saying you have to undo what you did.

Well, they're not wrong because every other CAD tool simply rearranged the UI for no reason.

In addition, the problem with semiconductor CAD tools is that any feature which isn't used by everybody is effectively broken because it has zero users, to an engineering approximation. I wish my CAD tools had a "CAUTION: this feature was used N times in the last 180 days by all users of the tool where N < 10. Expect bugs".

Although, in terms of UX I've never understood why CAD tools don't use Pie menus--games adopted them eons ago. (Fusion 360 is the exception, and it's a wonderful breath of fresh air).

I'm really curious where you worked now, as I don't remember any of my VLSI CAD tools getting an effective UI makeover (and we used a lot of them). Although I'm pretty sure we skipped most Mentor tools.
Lost my containers yet again, I am now on the last straws with Firefox, this whole Normandy thing is not helping the case. Firefox never asked me to opt in!
> There is no possibility for selective enforcement.

There are huge holes in that. What if, hypothetically, the DA looks at a situation and says 'there is no chance of criminal charges', but some 40-60% of the population thinks there should be?

There is even a fairly topical case of that where a substantial number of Democrat lawmakers are upset with how Barr is handling the Muller report. Imagine squaring a similar case with a law that says prosecution must proceed - I think Barr would be quite happy to claim there is no chance that an Obstruction case would lead to criminal charges.

In the confrontational Western-style justice system the prosecutor always has discretion. Not to acknowledge that just muddies the water in difficult cases. It is much safer to accept that selective enforcement happens, that sometimes the justice system fails to deliver justice and that there need to be release valves in how people are appointed so the abuses don't get out of hand.
>“You better start knowing things about the airplane you’re building and selling because my life and the passengers that I carry safely across the globe depends on it,” Mr. Tajer said.

haha wow. If that's representative of how pilots feel then Boeing is in trouble.
If you see two AoA sensors that aren't in agreement then you can safely assume either one sensor has failed or physics itself has.
Techniques to Improve Cache Speed (RedisConf 2019) [video]
The more I learn about the story and the more I realize the bureaucracy that is airplane flying. The boeing line is that they had to use the runaway trim checklist and that’s it. They missed the auto throttle item on the list so it’s their fault.

I feel like it’s all about reading documents and never trying to use their brain.

A lot of my bubble about diagnosing things and connecting information together has been bursted.
Boeing statement: https://boeing.mediaroom.com/news-releases-statements?item=1...

This PR is helpful in that it reminds me that there are actually people paid to take a simple set of information and mix in with a ton of PR bullshit so that you have to read it 4 times before you actually understand that yes, they screw up.
Tesla is aiming to be a mass-market car manufacturer -- the Model 3 is proof of this.

The standards for mass market are different -- people expect to drive their cars daily and expect maintenance and repairs to be relatively painless. Most mass-market manufacturers are able to make that happen. Why can't Tesla?

Stupid nytimes still uses phrases like "a Poor State in India". I bet they think India is still under colonial rule.
I can't fathom why your comment was downvoted.

If the vehicle is within warranty Telsa should provide replacement parts anywhere in the US the next day.

If the vehicle is outside of the warranty period the customer should be able to use any replacement part that meets or exceeds specifications.

There nothing controversial about this.

Edit to add: To be clear, I want Tesla to fail because I think Elon Musk is a massive jerk.
I am trying to explain Boeing’s point of view before the accident, you’re busting an open door.
Aggressive prioritization. The hours you work don't matter. What matters is if you get the job done. Be effective. Thankfully (i think) you're in a position to be judged on your effectiveness and not other criteria. As you only have to convince yourself, you co-founder and the rest of the team. It might be a chance to change the culture too. It's not about hours worked. It's about whether the work helps the company. Lots of effective hours pays off. But some effective hours are worth more than many many wasted hours. This is something that often gets lost.

Delegate to others the stuff they could do. Do only what is important. Be flexible with yourself and others.

Family matters and so does what you do with your life. Remember, life is a marathon, not a sprint. There are no prizes for getting to the end first. Look after yourself and make the best decision you can. Best of luck

Just don't use LUKS, use dm-crypt in plain mode and separate 2 flash drives - one with the bootloader, another with unformatted partition with the key at certain offset (or you can have both on single flash drive).

Then you can mail those flash drives around and backup them as you need.
I think it is even possible to use Yubikey for dm-crypt in plain mode.
You’re being obtuse. At no point does that mention RSS nor describe anything like RSS at all.

If I was not being generous, I’d think you were being intentionally obtuse to justify a preconceived opinion.

But whatever. I work on that very product.
This always felt super awkward, personally, when I (briefly) used Mastodon. I thought "tooting" was a joke but couldn't see any setting to change it.
If by "batonical sexism" we mean the choice to use male trees instead of female trees because it'd be a burden to clean up parts of the female tree that drop to the ground seasonally. It's a straightforward tradeoff: use male trees that produce pollen (and make it worse for allergies) or use female trees that have to get cleaned up (or plant both, and deal with both problems).

Yeah, I'm thinking a movie that aired on CBS starting at 11:30 p.m (ET/PT) in 1977 probably wasn't well watched even in the 3 (or 4) channel era.

The Wikipedia writer wanted to put Monty Python in the article and ignored the actual history and provided no actual link or cited source of the link.
I don't think I or anyone else need to justify why they still use the 56 ESR instead of pale moon nor does that have anything to do with the question of whether there will be a fix for this version from Mozilla.

Clearly a few feathers have been ruffled by even broaching the fact that many people still use the 56 version because crtical extensions still have no equivalent under quantum. Snark is not allowed even when asking a relevant question of whether there will be an update. Sad.
tl;dr

Male trees were planted disproportionate to female trees in urban settings because they didn't shed messy seeds. The preponderance of male trees increases the amount of pollen exposure. Author asserts this leads to an epidemic of allergies/asthma. Author asserts this indirectly leads to cancer.

Author fails to apparently take into account that although we are exposed to more male trees than female trees, our total tree (and therefore, pollen) exposure is far lower than historic norms. If adverse consequences are due to pollen over-exposure, we would still be net underexposed to pollen, so any increase in adverse health consequences couldn't be explained by that.

Author also presents themselves as a "horticultural epidemiologist." Worth noting that a google scholar search suggests this person is not an academic and holds no academic credentials, but he does make his income flogging a pair of books on this topic. I guess "Epidemiologist" isn't a protected title, but I usually don't see it applied to someone that doesn't actually work in epidemiology, or hold a degree in epidemiology.

Who's fault is that, at the end of the day?

Mozilla didn't have to structure their addon system in such a way that their (in)actions could disable the addons of every Firefox user on the planet.

Mozilla did not have to abuse the studies mechanism (also on by default) to ship a workaround.

Mozilla did not have to disable the option that would let me work around this problem by myself (which is going to cause me no end of fun when I get into work tomorrow). If the Firefox team thinks their development concessions are a pain in the ass, try being directly accountable for the repercussions, in the "I will be fired if I don't fix this", not the "I will be talked mean about on the internet if I don't fix this" senses.

Mozilla didn't have to bundle junk like Pocket and the now-scuppered Hello, both of which could have just as easily been addons suggested on first run.

Mozilla didn't have to push promotional addons (the Mr Robot thing) without my express prior consent.

I grow exceedingly weary of this narrative that Firefox is above all reproach and criticism because they produce a web browser.

How about this instead; if Mozilla wishes for its users to respect them, they can start by respecting their users. That means no opt-out telemetry period, no paternalism about what I can and cannot install, or what options I can change, and so forth.

I am beyond sick of this shit. I would love nothing more than a true third option for browsers right now. Firefox hates its users, Chrome sees them as cattle - what's left? I have to use one of the two and take ridiculous steps to cover my own interests, because neither of these companies have them in mind.
I think the best solution to that is to have a "honeypot" account, at least on your laptop. Have a random account with some photos / random documents that you login to by username. Hide the main account's home folder and hope the authorities aren't savvy enough to look properly. They probably aren't.

Perhaps add something to its login files that'll automatically wipe the main account data.
The right to search luggage is in order to find contraband or bombs. The only reason to dig into a phone in the context of border patrol is to find information on someone, like if they want to work illegally. In that case the person should have the right to not show it and they have the right to turn them back to where they came from, but not to confiscate their phones.
I've done something similar recently; but instead of grabbing data from my bank, I chose to enter data manually from receipts.

This makes it work for both cash and debit payments, and doesn't need any maintenance for API breakage. I find doing this data entry calming, to be honest.

I wrote about it here https://gkbrk.com/2019/04/plaintext-budgeting/
That’s ignoring cat III landings. When landing in dual autopilot there is no disengage possible.
But even more security bugs behind.
AFAIK, the autopilot disengages when there's an AoA disagree (=handling it correctly), while MCAS doesn't disengage, instead diving the plane into the ground (=not handling it correctly).
New $stdout – My Language

Serious tangent, but the idea of physics failing amuses me. One night we had an Earthquake in an area that basically almost never has them. Gentle shaking. It woke me and my wife up. I remember looking out my window for some sign of nuclear weapons going off or something. Nothing. I blurted out “Earthquake” all in about 10 seconds of processing. Rolled over. Went back to sleep. My wife was anxious the rest of the night and could not sleep from “what if” scenarios. One of her concerns was “what if physics was broken”?!
Its really easy to not have a Facebook account, especially now that most realize how horrible it is for society.
> most secure way ... encrypt the laptop and phone and ship to your destination via standard shipping services

Absolutely not. Any time your hardware is physically out of your control is a time when someone could install a hardware keylogger or replace your ethernet card with one that exfiltrates data or whatever.

The most secure option is to travel with an encrypted hdd/phone on you with no way to decrypt them, and separately acquire the private key (e.g. via shipping a secure hardware token which is made to be tamper resistant to a trusted friend at your destination).

If the devices leave your control for more than a few minutes, consider the hardware compromised and never unlock them again.

Laptops simply are not made to be highly resistant to an attacker with physical access, whereas hardware keys are, so it's not a good idea to ship them.

If you do ship them, you'll have to do a physical examination for suspicious hardware at your destination, (as you presumably did when you first received them if you're that paranoid), and it's damn hard to find a good lab for that in some countries.

Your advice is good as a way that's secure for most people's threat models, but it is a far cry from being the most secure solution, and I'd argue it's much less secure than simply carrying them with you.
> Do your tests, which are code themselves, not need their own tests?

The tests of the tests is your original code. They are testing each other.
I did this for 1 of the 2.5 years I was unemployed (the rest I was actually studying programming, which counts as work).

I read a lot of fitness articles about joints and fixed things that were broken about my body with careful therapy exercises. You have to keep fit, but you have time to do it the fun way, so I took up ice skating, kayaking, and skiing. With enough time to read and practice you can get lots better than most adult learners.

I didn't visit any friends and don't regret that at all. I played with a lot of nieces and nephews.

There is still more entertainment in the world than you can consume even 24/7, and you can still wish for more free time even when you have nothing but. I would stop working in a second if I didn't have to.

Although, one thing I will also do is feel guilt that everyone else is working and I've got it so nice. Even though I came by the money honestly, it's just a waste of potential. I'm not sad I quit the job I couldn't stand but I'm glad I went back to work eventually.
> "Users don't read"

I work on software, I read a lot.

I also go to pre-release media screeners of movies - you wait in line for a while, and you get to see a movie a few days earlier.

Anyway, the most recent movie pass (Detective Pokemon, really good by the way) had some red text in the middle. You had to redeem the pass for tickets at the theater before the screening, not wait in line. A LOT of people, including my movie buddy, did not read that red text.

If you depend on your users to read something, you will be let down very often. If you depend on your users to read, you should back that up with some check.
You could say that hash is a very aggressive, lossy compression.

Same image will result in same hash. Different images will often result in different hashes. That makes it a valid hash.
This is the sort of fault that causes everyone to pray the investigation comes back "pilot error". Because the alternative is the entire company gets pulled through the mud. Rightfully, but man, this is going to hurt Boeing, and by extension the US.

There are lots of differences, but a big one is its lack of a strong distinction between compile time and run time. From "Scopes for C/C++ Users" (https://scopes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cpp_users.html):

> C/C++ requires programs to be built and linked before they can be executed. For this, a build system is typically employed.

> In contrast, Scopes’ primary execution mode is live, which means that the compiler remains on-line while the program is running, permitting to compile additional functions on demand, and to use other services provided by the Scopes runtime library.
What speed is that? I don’t know about 737s in particular but some AoA sensors work at speeds as low as 20 knots—far less than V1 on any runway a 73 is going to use.

Peace out,
As a modestly funded project, Mastodon is never going to achieve "hockey stick" growth, and it would probably be overwhelmed if this happened. It's better for them to pursue a strategy of gradual, steady growth. Mastodon is continuing to grow steadily, and it does so in the face of established players who can outspend and outrun them. 2 million users is pretty damn good for an open source project that doesn't have a marketing budget to speak of.

In addition, it's time to drop the notion that every platform has to serve every type of user. As demonstrated by the problems facing Twitter, it is probably better to have many different platforms serving different audiences. Mass media inevitably reaches for the lowest common denominator.
Yeah - the elephant in the room is that full honesty is essentially a social disability. The social expectation is to learn how to lie on your own at appropriate times.
The soul is defined to be an "incorporeal" part of you. But what is it?

Is it your memory? No.

Is it consciousness? No.

Is it your cognitive ability or creativity? No.

Is it your what defines your emotions? No.

Drink enough or hit your head hard enough and you'll see that all of those get affected in one way or another. So they're not incorporeal.

So what is the "soul" really? It is an ambiguous and archaic term.

If souls are real then "surviving" becomes much easier. That's why people like the concept.
Does it have the following? They're what have kept me stuck on KeePass:

- Google Drive synchronization

- Automatic history maintenance

- Storing arbitrary additional data

- Icons (makes identifying entries so much faster)
