Well, this is true only if you believe Boeing's talking points. We actually don't know how bad the pitch effect is. Perhaps a small pilot error would result in an unrecoverable stall. Considering Boeing modified the MCAS's authority over what was originally stated to the FAA (malfunctions aside, which gave it unlimited authority), why should we trust them?

What is the absolute probability that no MCAS + pilot doing what would be normal on any other aircraft would lead to a crash? Remember, pilots go from plane to plane, potentially of various types. If a particular plane you don't fly frequently behaves very differently in a critical situation, that's a bad thing. You need the muscle memory. If they only flew the MAX 100% of the time, probably not a big deal.

Imagine twice a year you drive a someone else's car. During normal operation, nothing out of the ordinary. However, if you apply more than 25% brake pressure while turning left between 5-10 degrees, the steering input suddenly goes to 60 degrees, requiring you to quickly counter steer. Now, imagine that there's a software mitigation to prevent this over-steer. Now imagine, with little warning, that software system is disabled, and you've never driven the car without that system active.

It's lunacy.
I would guess those enterprise users pay for Google docs, and could be exempted from throttling on that basis.

If they don’t, Google wouldn’t lose much by throttling them, would they?
If they buy more things, then surely it depends highly on where those things are produced though. Of course it'll mean a bit more jobs in the retail sector, but with most being online, won't the primary increase be at the production end?

If it allows more people to buy iPhones then most of the jobs created by that is made in China, which doesn't help local economy much.
Entry level roles are for fresh graduates. A converted living room is a step up from college and compatible with aggressive savings on a big-co wage. Entry level engineers willing to run smaller savings rates can even afford to live alone, though it can be a stretch.
Heh, because Apple prefers to arbitrarily leave out support for their older systems on newer OS releases.
So the runc vuln, only applied if you were a) running as root in the container and b) hadn't enabled user namespacing. (Also for completeness, it didn't work on RHEL based distros that applied their standard SELinux policy (IIRC))

Also not specifically a Docker vulnerability, it was a runc issue which also affected other Linux containerization software (e.g. lxc)

But despite all that, that's just an example of what I was talking about, all software has vulns, including runc, including gvisor.

Stating that "containers don't contain" implies that it's not just a specific bug, but that architecturally the process is flawed (at least IMHO), which I would suggest is at the least an over-simplification.

as to contained.af, well if it was indeed "trivial" then surely not a large reward would be required :)
Oh, you are handling those calls all wrong. On the odd times I do actually pick up I choose from a handful of possible replies:

1. I am in prison for vehicular manslaughter and how did you get my burner cell phone number?
2. I was in a horrible accident in that car and my life is ruined, thanks for bringing it up.
3. The more general "I only have 6 months to live" I use as a catch-all for ending any of these calls: sure I am lying, are you bold enough to call me on it?

#3 makes me think I should talk to my wife about being ready for me to hand off the phone in that situation.

Chris Poole (Moot) founded 4chan after being banned from SA (in the version I heard it was on accusations of pedophilia, because anyone who finds anime characters attractive is clearly a pedophile). SA was far more influential in creating and shaping 4chan than anything else, even the Japanese forums it was imitating (2chan, etc.)

Would there still be something that fits roughly the same niche as 4chan, if 4chan didn't exist? Most likely yes. But it wouldn't be anything like the 4chan we know today.

Theory TL;DR

"But what about time itself? Henri Bergson concluded that time is "grasped by, and belongs only to, inner consciousness". But what is consciousness? In the Orch OR model, with the equivalence of quantum superposition
(e.g. of tubulin protein conformations) and spacetime separation consciousness is a sequence of OR events which
reconfigure spacetime geometry "non-computably", and hence non-algorithmically. Thus with each conscious moment a new organization of Planck scale geometry is selected irreversibly."
"indistinguishable from magic."

I think that trope only works for people who are inclined toward superstition. If an alien were to demonstrate teleportation or replication or something else equally far fetched, I would look at it as advanced technology, not magic.

I'm skeptical of magic in general, though.

When I first saw this project, I thought it was interesting and signed up. But I've never gotten around to using it. I don't remember what I thought the name was when I read about it, but for some reason it got stuck in my head that the sr.ht domain stood for "Sir Hat". And that's how I've always read it in my head whenever I see it anywhere.

I have a theory that simple sets can become difficult to understand not because of anything in their nature, but because of how they are desired to be consumed.

In other words, if you have a simple to understand thing, then it might become hard to understand if it needs to be fed into something that is itself hard to understand. (Or even if the way in which you feed it into the other thing is hard to understand).

Additionally, if you have something which is easy to understand that is fed into multiple incompatible things (either the things are easy to understand or hard to understand), then the whole system becomes harder to understand.

Finally, if the starting point that is fed into all other things is not actually easy to understand but in fact hard to understand ... things can get pretty bad.

Even if time was easy to understand by itself, then I still think it would be pretty hard to deal with because it is used for multiple incompatible domains (astronomical vs how long a day is on earth for example).

You forgot one thing: PHP has a far larger community and packages compared to exotic languages like Elixir.
Everything is documented and there are tons of resources out there to solve a problem.
It's like C++ for the web. Why does C++ still live? Community, extensively tested and adopted by large organizations. Well PHP is the same. Until big companies are out there using PHP (consider Vimeo or Flixbus or Groupon as example), because it is perfomant, it will fail to die.
120mph maximum and a 40mph minimum are too disparate.

And there are other deleterious effects of 120mph. > 100 and most consumer tires are at their brink. Similarly, there is a lack of the average vehicle to accelerate quickly beyond 80.
> Paradoxically, I think that the "Dunning–Kruger effect" (within limits) is actually necessary for us to evolve. Think about it; if you don't jump into the unknown with confidence, you won't learn/do anything. It is important to assess risk but also know when to stop obsessing over risk.

This resonates with me. I spend so much time doubting my ability to make the right decision (or whether I have the skills to accomplish X), I end up doing nothing.

This applies to buying a car, or even jumping into a new project at work.
> If it's good enough to run remote tests on, it's compiling and presumably working locally.

To you "he pushed his commit and tests got triggered" implies "his commit is compiling and working fine locally" and therefore implies "ready to build on top of"? You never push incomplete work while intending to continue it the next day... maybe on another machine? You never run across build failures on other machines when everything builds fine locally? You never see bugs that don't repro locally? You never trigger or re-trigger tests to narrow down bugs you can't repro locally but know to exist? Every single commit you push can be assumed to build on everyone's machines, pass all tests, and provide a proper foundation to branch from? And these are all true for everyone you work with too?

> You didn't explain anything!

I explained a heck of a lot?? I explained that force-push is useful on commits that you're not intending others to build on top of; I gave at least 5 common examples of why people push code despite it not being in a proper state to build on top of; I explained that rebasing on a gently-pushed commit is exactly the same as rebasing on a force-pushed commit; I explained how your teammates can force-push if you didn't somehow insist on saving the 5 seconds it would take you to communicate with them that you're going to build on top of their branch and maybe find out if you should be doing that in the first place (both of which you often should be doing anyway); I explained that if you took the few seconds to communicate then mistaken pushes would be rare and you could just resolve them by reverting or resolving commits like you normally would; I explained how git has specifically provided multiple features and documentation to support and explain both workflows because both of them have their own benefits and neither is superior... and yet somehow I "never explained anything" and "went straight from arguing about terminology to accusing me of dogmatism"?

Seriously? You don't feel even you're slightly misrepresenting things? I almost didn't even write this comment, but now I'm definitely done with this.
That is 100% correct.

If you build a 50 MPH road through a neighborhood, you're going to get 50 MPH traffic through a neighborhood.

What the signs say is irrelevant unless there's a cop right there.

If you want slow traffic, build slow roads.

Likewise, if you build your house on a fast road, don't expect traffic to slow down just because your kids are there.
I worked for another large defense contractor auditing government IT systems. To do this, you needed a clearance and auditing certification designed by the gov. Well, they would just go ahead and hire people WHILE the clearance process went through (which can take months) and only schedule certain technology certification classes every few months. There were people sitting at home for 4-6 months getting paid in full while they waited for either a class or their clearance to go through. I sadly already had a clearance and "only" had to wait a month for my class.
This is precisely why corporations have so many meetings. Without them, there's whole divisions of people that would be doing nothing all day, every day. No code reviews, no specs, no code, no operational capacity, just taking the credit for other people's actual output.
Is this whole article premised on this one guy's intuition that speeding must be safe because we aren't all dead?

There are actual studies on this stuff based on the changes in U.S. federal speed limit rules in the 70s and then again in the 90s. They are not conclusive but do suggest that higher speed limits lead to more fatalities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Maximum_Speed_Law#Saf...
I'm reading a lot of commenters criticizing their strategy and quality of their system. Does anyone want to talk about the fact that they have 10.5 MILLION miles recorded without an at-fault accident? To me, this is quite remarkable.
1) find the systems-level people (business and engineering) who signed-off on MCAS as being safe. point to them and say "how could you not have tested the failure modes of MCAS, specifically AoA sensors?". There's no answer to that. Off to prison.

2) find the people who allowed the Max to keep flying after the first wreck. Not literally one hour later, but once they had information that MCAS might have been involved, a crime was committed (endangering public safety) allowing flights after that moment.

3) If any whistle-blowers emailed their superiors about MCAS failures, whoever ignored the complaint committed a crime unless any written concerns were properly documented, filed, considered, etc.
Well, the problem with this is that every simplistic view at time is... well... too simple. It's not that many people haven't tried, I especially like this article: https://qntm.org/abolish

That being said, why your approach doesn't work is that there are several hard astronomical or cultural definitions that you'd throw off by playing with time.

A day is defined as the rotation of the earth around its axis.

A week is a hard cultural and religious boundary for just about everything in life.

A month is roughly the rotation of the moon around the earth (although that definition is arguably the weakest and ready to go)

A year is defined as the rotation of the earth around the sun.

Changing any of these will make the summer drift into the winter, or the night into the day, or whatever.

Time just isn't simple, and although most of these intervals _almost_ fit within each other, reality is that they don't and we'll always have artifacts.

If you enjoy philosophy on these kinds of imperfections as much as I do, I can heavily recommend this article about musical tuning: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/roots-of-unity/the-sadd...

Because a road has a natural speed, and that's what most people will drive at when they're not actively thinking about it.

If the speed limit is below that natural speed, you end up with most drivers going faster while the few follow the absurd rule.
I live in a very rural area. On three sides of my acreage are cattle.

When I drive in to the city, which I do sometimes, I am imposing a cost on everyone living in that city because I chose to drive.

I still do it sometimes - if I'm going to Ikea I'm not carrying my stuff home on the train - but let's not pretend it isn't a burden on others.
That's irrelevant. When talking about language consistency, we should also be including the language's standard library.

The problem is that PHP wasn't designed as language-first but as a tool to make web development more accessible. Hence the acronym for "Personal HomePage". PHP was merely a native interface to modules written in C (e.g. MySQL), with the interface hosted in a simplified version of Perl.

The draw of PHP was that you didn't need the CGI bin, and it was easy to deploy with Apache.

Nowadays, the deployment issue has long been solved. No one should choose PHP if they have a choice as there numerous languages better designed, more performant, and more generalized than to just web dev.

If you are still writing PHP in 2019, you are either very unfortunate or just very lazy.

That's not my experience at all. Most developers I know have worked with technologies before and come out saying, "I would rather use something else next time."
Well, yes, I agree — Antarctica in winter and the peak of Mt. Everest are both vastly more hospitable than Mars, but Mars is there if we want to try it.
The problem is the further down you go the more narrow the focus. When I worked on MS Office I was always annoyed they were spending all the money on other products with few users and no revenue.

After all we were the ones taking in the dollars. Of course at an organizational level it was understood they need to invest in the next big thing even if it’s not making money right now.
Speed limits are set deliberately low so that police departments can collect fines whenever they need to buy a new cruiser.
I love the transparency that this report brings. An honest report of what happened, and what to expect going forward. Wish this was more common, especially for companies that run a lot of the infrastructure for open source and free software developers to use.

It seems to be a excellent start to a platform. But what worries me is the way how the funding of the entire platform need to be sustainable, otherwise all of the services within will eventually close and be lost. Instead of where each service could have it's own funding, and people can vote with their wallet which service to keep.
I like your basic thought process, but as shown by Germany the correct answer for straight, flat rural highways is to not have a speed limit at all.

120 MPH is pretty reasonable for most interstate-class highways outside of cities though.

I'm quite sure Apple has a tool for profiling iOS applications. ARM has PMU (Performance Measuring Unit) as part of the architecture, for exactly this sort of testing.
"economic growth" just means that we produce more goods and services that people desire, for cheaper.

How are leap seconds useful if you are an astronomer? I am genuinely curious what problem in the year 2019 is easier due to leap seconds.

There were mentioned studies in the book "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" that mirrored what your parents experienced.

Long story short, a jeweler was trying to move some turquoise and told an assistant to sell them at half price while she was gone. The assistant accidentally doubled the price, but the stones still sold immediately.

Turns out there's a phenomenon where humans automatically associate price to quality. So getting charged more means we think we're getting better quality, regardless of the actual quality

I am not trying to say that PHP is better then TS, but as far as type safety my PHP code with PHPDoc is better type checked then JS code with JSDoc (we are using ES5).

I don't have experience with PHP rendering, but I assume you only have to escape unsafe input, don't have to escape markuup, have you tried twig, is it not safe https://twig.symfony.com/doc/2.x/filters/escape.html ?

I admit I like rendering with react, but I admit that reading a twig template is much simpler then reading JSX code (but I am condemned to use angular :-( ).
We're going to have at least one new generation of these, assuming these were created with DUV (deep ultraviolet) lithography. EUV (extreme UV) is in development and will give even greater transistor density.
I wonder if there's an unfortunate thing going on where it's not really about the number posted, it's about going faster than the people around you.

Driving is a lot easier and less stressful if you're going faster than everyone else. You really only have to worry about the stuff in front of you that you see all the time, and as soon as you pass someone they are no longer a concern.

Similarly it takes a lot more attention if everyone is going faster than you. So there's always an incentive for each individual to speed up a little.
