The core feature of his strategy for the company was to sacrifice safety in order to increase profits.

It was clear to any truly responsible person that they needed a new design for an aircraft with a fundamentally different mission.

He cut every corner possible in order to avoid having to re-certify. From the fundamental decision not to do a full redesign to the decisions related to the kludgey system to keep it from stalling out and how that was managed down the line.

At least one person from the FAA should also go to prison. They failed in their core mission.

This actually seems very similar to a common tactic that managers of software projects will take. Since they are not being judged on the integrity of the code, they are happy to encourage any kind of hack or corner cutting or technical debt in order to save a buck.

In this case the stakes were higher than an average software project and many people died.

(I work for GCP)

It looks something like this:

your container -> Compute Engine VM (GKE Node) -> container -> Borg

The container on top of Borg is used for scheduling and management. Joe's talk has a slide on this. As a GCP customer, you never have to worry about this or care about it, as it is an implementation detail.

>"The isolation is not perfect, though: containers cannot prevent interference in resources that the operating-system kernel doesn't manage, such as level 3 processor caches and memory bandwidth, and containers need to be supported by an additional security layer (such as virtual machines) to protect against the kinds of malicious actors found in the cloud."

As a GCP customer using GKE, your applications are separated from other GCP customer using VMs.

However, if you want to run your OWN untrusted workloads, then in the past you would have to spin up a separate VM for untrusted workload A and a one VM for untrusted workload B.

This sucks in terms of resource utilization. It would be better in many cases if you could run workload A and B on the same VM. That's where gVisor comes into play.

your untrusted container -> gVisor -> Compute Engine VM (GKE Node) -> container -> Borg

I hope this makes sense!

I respect the leaps PHP has come as a language and runtime in recent years, however I still can't understand why anyone would elect to use it for greenfields projects.

The developer experience might be better than it's ever been, but even as pointed out in this article, it still has all the old issues like inconsistent core API, vague global context, and way too much implicit magic and guesswork. Not to mention it still relies on running a separate, third party HTTP server, in contrast to Node.js, Java, Python etc stacks where the HTTP server itself is a native construct of the language/runtime.

I can't see any single use case where there isn't a more appropriate alternative to using PHP. The only feasible reason I can see someone would use PHP for a greenfields project in this day and age is that they simply don't know any better.

> The hate isn't "spreading through social media" the hate and the fear were already there.

This is an idea worth examining more closely. In one view, social media acts as simply a passive reflection of an existing culture; in another, social media reproduces that culture which later becomes (in part) a reflection of social media etc. The causality goes both ways.

Organised white supremacists have decided that social media can also be used to help steer society, and it can be -and is- used as a recruitment vector, two things that wouldn't be possible if the 'passive reflection' model was accurate.

For what it's worth, I'm undecided as to whether this particular proposed response is workable or harmful or effective or whether it risks liberties collaterally. But I view that as a separate question from whether social media plays a significant role in white nationalist recruitment.
There's an article that claims that domestic manufacturing numbers are very misleading, because of stuff like this:

"To make the output volume comparable from one year to the next, the statisticians aggregating the data adjust for price changes, as well as improvements in product quality. For example, let’s say statisticians want to figure out how much the sales of Intel processors grew in 2017 versus 2016.

The problem is, the processor released in 2017 is superior to that sold in 2016 in many tangible ways. But how do you account for the fact that a 2017 processor provides users with more value? In general, statisticians assume the difference in value between the two models is just the difference in their prices. If, say, the 2017 processor costs twice as much as the 2016 one does, then selling one 2017 processor counts as selling two of the 2016 versions in the statisticians’ books."

Scale, simply put.

China went from an economy of $1 trillion (1999) to ~$14 trillion (2019) at warp speed. It's the largest economic expansion, in the shortest amount of time, that has ever occurred.

South Korea has a good economy with a seemingly bright future, however it's still only a $1.5t economy today. That's sub 2% of global GDP.

The US post civil war industral boom (~1890-1930) and Japan from 1970 to 1995 ($200b to $5.5t), would be the two closest, most recent comparable extreme booms. Japan of course topped out in 1995 and in real terms has never surpassed that economic output since.

When you add $13 trillion in manufacturing-tilted economic output in 20 years, it's going to be very likely to dent the largest manufacturing economy at that point in time (the US). Considering the huge scale of that Chinese expansion, the US weathered it remarkably well and continued to expand its economy while retaining one of the highest GDP per capita output figures. I'd argue it harmed Europe far more than the US, suppressing their growth to a far greater degree than the US (the US economy has continued to grow over the last 15-20 years consistently, Europe has struggled to produce any net growth in the last ~12 years). Over those 20 years China rapidly built out a massive technology sector, with global giants, Europe has badly failed at keeping pace with the US and China on that front (one of the reasons Europe's growth has been so poor over recent decades).
I think we should have a scientific definition of time -- something that is highly static and precise (such as the time it takes for an atom to vibrant a number of times, or the time it takes light in a vacuum to travel a certain distance) and a cultural definition of time that is more loose than UTC (There is always the same number of seconds in a day, but maybe some days have shorter seconds than other days).

Cultural time is fine and dandy for human level stuff. Keep that simple. Scientific time for business, engineering and scientific stuff.

The most important market in the modern world is oil and gas.

The smos.com registration lapsed and some chinese company immediately registered the domain.

The thing the experts always say is not to charge by time, but by delivered value. I haven't got there yet, and my clients seem to prefer to work with a time-based rate. YMMV.

But ... I do adjust my hours according to my productivity. So, if I need to study up on something, I generally won't charge the client for that (or not all of it) if it's reasonable that I should already know it. On the other hand, if I've been pumping out great code for the last 4 days solid, then I'll still charge a full day for the fifth day when I get a bit less done.

I've spent basically two years working to convert a legacy project built on PHP 5.x into Laravel on PHP 7.x and I can agree that it's come a long way as a language, and that frameworks like this help.

The biggest issues, however, are not technical but are based on changes in the development philosophy overall. The legacy project was written by people who envied Java and its object system and wanted to make everything an object. Laravel (and similar projects) have moved towards something that is a mix of object-based approaches and Functional/Lispy approaches. This puts it more in line with the direction alot of languages (JS, Rust, etc) have been taking.

TL;DR: PHP is in a better place than it's been in awhile, largely because it's willing to borrow good ideas and execute them while still being able to make use of its legacy libraries when needed.

Rental car companies have refused to adapt or change their model for many years. They’re built upon antiquated systems with the thought that they could never be touched, and to be blunt I don’t feel much sympathy for them.

They’ve been approached numerous times with more innovative uses of their fleet and they’ve turned up their noses so many times at it because they felt they didn’t have to change.
No, it isn't.

We can all survive with a little less happiness. If our playgrounds are a little more boring, we can all deal. (though if anything they are a lot nicer than the ones I grew up with) Happiness is a good that can come from many sources, and while it's nice to have, if it is reduced, we can usually adapt to it by finding a new source.

Happiness shouldn't be a reason to trade lives.
Yes, exactly. And more importantly, resolving mathematical conjectures is more about developing new theories than it is answering singular questions. We don't just care about the Riemann hypothesis because of its utility in solving problems related to the first n numbers; we care about Riemann because of how its implications can be used to solve problems concerning number systems in the abstract.

It only seems strange to continue doubting a conjecture like Riemann if your perspective on the subject is experimental. In the scheme of things the relative impact of Riemann on the first trillion cases isn't nearly as important as what it says about all numbers.

Huawei didn't copy to "interoperate", they literally fabbed the PCB's so that they were electrically identical to the Cisco PCBs (I believe they actually stole the gerbers), installed stolen code, and had both hardware and software bugs that were identical. And then sold the resulting "product" to end customers.

This was so identical that you could type syntactically incorrect commands and get buggy, broken behavior which pinpointed the exact internal release of code which had been stolen as Cisco had already fixed the bugs.

Sorry, that's theft, even if you disagree with IP protection.

You _can_ run your website using only the built-in webserver for those languages, but are you really going to do that? Or are you going to put Nginx or Apache in front to do what they're made to do: be webservers? Hell, there's Unicorn, Passenger, Puma, all aimed at doing exactly this.

And surprise, surprise, PHP also has a built-in webserver you _can_ use, but shouldn't.

There's even ReactPHP, Swoole, Amp, all with webserver capabilities.

Sounds more like a person who knows PHP in passing, or may have used it lightly, or long ago.

> Is there such a thing as a perfect backup strategy?

At work, there's "Can meet contractually agreed RPO and RTO with 99.99% certainty". Automate the standard setup, and sleep well at night. Perfect.

At home, there's "I've done enough that I think the next improvement is an unfeasibly large amount of extra time&money for an unreasonably small improvement".

I've, for myself at home, settled on Apple's Time Machine backing up my Macs (and their phone/ipad iTunes backups) to a raid 10 set, that raid 10 set rsynced to another one at the opposite end of the house, and a weekly backup of that stored on a single drive that only powers up for 6 hours every Sunday night then powers back down again - so if my whole network gets breached and cryptolockered (for example) I'll still have at most 7 day old data at home. I also push that weekly backup out to S3 and tarsnap for off-site in-case-my-house-burns-down, or I've set it all on fire and moved to Belize scenarios...

I've been running most of that for ~8 years now. I've called it "done", while not "perfect", its certainly good enough against "not-Mossad threat models". If Mossad or The NSA want to delete my backups, so be it - I'll go be a carpenter or a gardener or something.

If they consume 100 square feet of land that would cost $1500 per square foot, the value is $150,000.

That comes to something like $33 per day, or $12,000 per year. A possible solution presents itself: sell camping permits.
