curious for you to share how you arrived at this conclusion. I know you're not assuming that because hn is based on startups and software engineering that it must be "overwhelmingly male", as that would be using sexist stereotypes. So where do you get your statistics from?
Could someone please explain how this works. I’m familiar with runs but not sure how this is set up.
I realized it when I was speaking in another language without knowing it, and when her friends started talking to me in Polish instead of English.
You need three redundant sensors for safety-critical systems, so that if one fails you know which one is failing. Airbus has three AoA sensors (and three of others as well) on their planes for this reason.

And it's worth pointing out that 737s already have two of these sensors, but don't use them both for MCAS (?!?!).

> After an incident like this ...

Clearly, that didn't happen, or a second MAX wouldn't have crashed under very similar circumstances.

> Southwest installed additional gear on their planes to help prevent this when the first plane crashed.

Southwest ordered the MAX with an AoA indicator; it wasn't retrofitted.

> ... to help prevent this ...

It's questionable whether the AoA indicator would've made a difference. However, an AoA disagree alert that is standard in the previous 737 gen was "accidentally" made part of the AoA indicator extra feature set on the MAX, and the AoA disagree just _might_ have made a difference. [1]

> It’s not far fetched that companies in countries with lesser regulations might skip out on training or plane enhancements that would lessen the chances of this problem.

An AoA indicator is not mandatory anywhere in the world.

Okay, I probably should have calculated the number of successful flights to avoid this. But, nowhere did I say any country is better than any other. That's your inference.
It's probably no different than traders who take huge risks in any kind of financial market. They probably feel like they have a better understanding of the risks than most other market participants, but when they fail it always retrospectively appears like an outsized risk to more moderated participants.

"I had to hustle, my back to the wall, ashy knuckles
Pockets filled with a lot of lint, not a cent
Gotta vent, lot of innocent of lives lost on the project bench
Whatchu hollerin? Gotta pay rent, bring dollars in
By the bodega, iron under my coat, feelin braver
Doo-rag wrappin my waves up, pockets full of hope
Do not step to me - I'm awkward, I box leftier often
My pops left me an orphan, my momma wasn't home
Could not stress to me I wasn't grown; 'specially on nights
I brought somethin home to quiet the stomach rumblings
My demeanor - thirty years my senior
My childhood didn't mean much, only raisin green up
Raisin my fingers to critics; raisin my head to the sky
Big I did it - multi before I die (nigga)
No lie, just know I chose my own fate
I drove by the fork in the road and went straight"

"Now all the teachers couldn't reach me
And my momma couldn't beat me
Hard enough to match the pain of my pops not seeing me, SO
With that distain in my membrain
Got on my pimp game
Fuck the world my defense came
Then Dahaven introuced me to the game
Spanish Jose introduced me to cane
I'm a hustler now
My gear is in and i'm in the in crowd
And all the wavey light skinned girls is lovin me now
My self esteem went through the roof man i got my swag
Got a volvo from this girl when her man got bagged
Plus i hit my momma with cash from a show that i had
Supposedly knowin nobody paid Jaz wack ass
I'm geting ahead of myself, by the way, i could rap
That came second to me movin this crack
Gimme a second i swear
I will say about my rap career
Til 96 came niggas i'm here
Good-bye...

Good-bye to the game all the spoils, the adreneline rush
Your blood boils you in a spot knowing cops could rush
And you in a drop your so easy to touch
No two days are alike
Except the first and fifteenth pretty much
And "trust" is a word you seldom hear from us
Hustlers we don't sleep we rest one eye up
And the drought to find a man when the well dries up
You learn to work the water without workin thirst til die YUP
And niggas get tied up for product
And little brothers ring fingers get cut up
To show mothers they really got em
And this was the stress i live with til i decided
To try this rap shit for a livin
I Pray i'm forgiven
For every bad decision i made
Every sister i played
Cause i'm still paranoid to this day
And it's nobody fault i made the decisions i made
This is the life i chose or rather the life that chose me"

Yeah, it was a typo on my part. I wanted to say something like, "If my idea was clear..."
I'm not even going to reply to all of that.

Look, if you want to sit there and rip into a stranger on the internet for open sourcing a Bash script (on their free time) then by all means knock yourself out.

For the record I've written more Python than I have Bash (by a substantial amount). I wrote that script in Bash because it took literally 3 minutes to prototype it on the command line with grep, cut and bc so I spent the extra hour turning it into its current form. It does exactly what I want it to do (nothing less, nothing more).

Also the code is MIT licensed. Free free to fork it, rewrite it in Python, test it on 50+ real invoices, write extensive test coverage, write ~1500+ words of documentation and then make a ~20 minute video showing to use it.
As someone who’s worked at multiple big tech companies, I don’t think this was true, at least not on the teams I worked on.

I probably averaged 50 hour weeks. I also earned enough to max out retirement accounts and make substantial investments in my post-tax accounts. I had enough to where I could start taking bigger risks. I had two vacations per year while building wealth. I also got married during this time.

I read comments like this and I wonder if someone had a bad experience or if it’s just resentment.

To be clear, I think there’s massive room to improve gender pay gaps, diversity, etc. That being said, I don’t think these companies are as nefarious as you make it sound. It depends on your situation. I never had to travel, unlike the author of the medium post. I didn’t face sexual harassment, although I’m also a female. I do know these things do happen, just as they would at many non tech companies.
Microsoft has a great work-life balance most of the time. The writer of the article was in DX, which used to be an evangelist group, and they were one of the unlucky groups due to travel and preparing for events.

DX has now become CSE (Commercial Software Engineering) and instead of evangelizing, they now mainly write code (with some exceptions). One group in CSE works with customers on short-term hacks which span a couple of days, and another group works on long-term projects alongside engineers at external companies, helping them build cloud solutions.

These jobs do have travel, but it is not very much since remotely working with customers is a viable option. There is also a strong focus on ensuring they don’t work or travel too much because no one wants to burn out engineers.

CSE is actually a really cool org at Microsoft, and you can see some of the stuff they work on here: https://www.microsoft.com/developerblog/
Depends who the audience is.

I really get tired of non-security people entering a security discussion to redefine known security terms to fit some irrelevant personal emotional familiarity. Worse is when you point that out suddenly people are somehow greatly offended.
This isn't a valid way to put it into context. It doesn't matter which countries the planes crashed in; the causes were the same and lives lost are lives lost. And air travel is so globalized these days that one crash anywhere can kill citizens of dozens of countries.
I’m not sure exactly what you’re trying to say here, but if it’s any kind of context-free victim blaming it just shows how difficult the world is for women.
I popped a few more in until I hit the maximum 91 stored (either that or it broke). Thanks for fixing the way the space character is displayed.

You could use https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEve... to take advantage of keyboard layout information to more easily classify a user. E.g. if a German user is typing in English their key will register as "KeyY" but their key will register as "z". Even if the neural net just picks up on "non qwerty = weird" I think it would significantly help in it's ability to classify these corner case users.

I look forward to seeing how future versions fare!
Funny thing, you're describing exactly why you're not assuming a global perspective. Forget about a first, the world is fragmented. To be global is precisely to cater to individual locations around the world.

This is an aside, and this sort of flattery is thankfully rare on HN, but you write very well. I say this as a fellow native English speaker. I’m sure your Japanese friends can sense that you are intelligent despite your language difficulties.
If I recall correctly, the first crew encountered the issue during cruise, at which point which you have both (a) time, and (b) sufficient altitude that you can afford to push the stick forward in order to reduce the aerodynamic force on the horizontal stabiliser to the point where it will be physically possible to correct the trim without powered assistance.

Pilots encountering the issue during takeoff have neither of those things, with results that we've already observed.
I just switched to iPhone after 6 years of Android. One feature I really like is the reachability setting, being able to swipe down at the bottom to bring the top of the screen within thumb's reach so I can use it one handed. That lets you press back buttons or access URLs easily. You can also swipe from the left side of the screen so you never really need to use the back buttons. You still need to use reachability or two hands if you’re trying to press Done or something, but there were cases like that on Android too and the reachability setting helps those cases. I also love being able to move the cursor by pressing on the keyboard. I do still use the gmail app, so that’s a win for google.
Your experience in Japan seems to support the findings of this study. Basically alcohol lowers inhibitions enough that people are less self conscious about speaking a foreign language and actually perform better.

> Infants aren't just learning the language but also the concepts behind the language

Some people say that children don't just learn grammar, but that they sometimes also create the grammar rules of emerging languages through a process called creolization.
Given how frankly the author said that, that suggests the culture is not identical to what's familiar to me. How many Americans would write that honestly, on a professional topic? So I will try not to read too much into that part.
The larger point is that the 737 is a highly antiquated design by this point. The cockpit has screens that emulate old analog displays to maintain common type rating, even though much better ways of displaying that data now exist. The plane's controls are highly manual, which are a negative now that fly-by-wire and autopilots are mature and very good. Hell, the entire plane sits so low to the ground because it was designed to support a non-jetway use case (which is now non-existent), and as a result 737s are more susceptible to foreign object damage from debris sucked up off the runway.

The 737 is riddled through with legacy design features and needs to be put to pasture once and for all. And designing a replacement wouldn't be from scratch; there are plenty of other modern airliners to base a new one off of.
There’s definitely a higher level of craziness involved as placing a few bad bets isn’t going to lead to a Colombian necktie.

> All in all, Related solicited investments from some 3,200 foreign visa-seekers. This figure is significant, since the number of new visas that the U.S. issues each year under EB-5 has a hard cap of 10,000. Given that each eligible investor may claim visas for immediate family members—and since these family visas (an average of three) also count toward the overall cap—the Hudson Yards development may have easily claimed an entire year’s worth of visas issued under EB-5.
It’s not tangential at all: they don’t hire me, they contract with a company that has relationships with a ton of “experts” and that company makes the connection, handles billing etc. they also have expert witnesses (often the same folks) etc. I have no idea how those guys find me.

"The stories they told of how the drugs changed the island were by turns bizarre, thrilling and tragic. No one expected in early June 2001 that they would still be talking about the effects of the cocaine nearly two decades later."

Reminds me of when a copy of the New Testament reached the Inuits on Belcher Island...

"The hunting was poor in Canada's Belcher Islands in the winter of 1941, and a meteor shower led some Inuits to suspect the world was coming to an end. It was around this time that a 27-year-old tribal shaman named Charlie Ouyerack proclaimed himself Jesus Christ, and anointed his pal Peter Sala—the tallest man on the island who also happened to be the best hunter and ice navigator—as God..."

I've been thinking the same, lately. I also wonder if we underestimate children's patience. In class, the point is to learn new things. And there's a lot of progress done from school year to school year. So, for six or so hours a day, five days a week, school children are shown new things, some of which are very new ideas, and expected to keep at it until they understand. They don't get to "change jobs" or even "settle into a pattern." They're often wrong but have to press on. And, somehow, they do.

The tutorials introduce how the different algorithms work, but the code just uses the libraries rather than implementing what's in the library from primitive operations.

For me, this type of tutorial doesn't stick. I found the explanations in Joel Grus' book, which were accompanied by succinct, idiomatic Python implementations of the algorithms, much easier to understand.

> The engine mounting certainly does not make the plane unsafe.

I don't think this is a very...'precise' statement. what is "safe" in the context of aviation? If you had no MCAS, then this plane has a very bad propensity to stall. I hope we can both agree that's an unsafe airplane. You can't just say "don't do that [pull up too much] and then you're fine". The aircraft "wants" to pitch up too high and stall, which predicated the MCAS system itself. So to me, yeah the engine mounting (in and of itself) makes this plane quite unsafe.

Now, with a properly functioning MCAS it may be "safe", but when the MCAS is itself another point of failure, my opinion is that the aircraft is only safe on paper, while in practice it's just got too many hacks and kludges for it to be practically safe for the millions of safe flight hours that these things are expect to deliver.

> There is no way that Helium reaches escape velocity without some sort of mechanical assistance.

Thermal velocity is an average - there is a distribution of velocities around this average. It says that right in the article you linked to.

At the high end of the distribution, some Helium atoms will indeed have velocities greater than the Earth's escape velocity.
