Eh... As attractive as it sounds, and as viscerally satisfying as the Sheriff's posse approach would be, the problem is that everyone is entitled to due process.

And in terms of criminal liability, that involves stapling the crime to various real people, and proving a case against them.

At a minimum, Boeing is facing potential exposure for:
-Corporate Manslaughter
-Fraud
-Securities Fraud
-Criminal Negligence
-Product Liability

Those are just the major ones I can think of off the top of my head. There's probably interesting flavors of

-Making false statements to Federal Agents
-Perjury

And a host of other exotic crimes players in this debacle can be charged with, if you had an AG with the interest and will to hit them with every reasonably provable charge.

Magic 8 ball says there will be investigations into the part played by executives, getting to the root of who was pushing the deceptive documentation, design, and sales decisions.

They get criminal charges. Boeing gets sued for securities fraud and settles or otherwise pays out.

Civil suits for victims family's will likely be paid by insurer's/the Federal Government (likely pitched as a surprising diplomatic concession, really a National Security concession).

FAA or Congress may surprise and crack down on Boeing, laying down a plan where the executive leadership gets swapped out, mandatory culture/operational revamp under Federal supervision for some number of years. (Boeing has too much National Security impact to have the plug completely pulled).

Mmmm. MAX probably get refits/regulatory waivers of various flavors; pilots/Flight Attendants will be the primary determinant on how much has to get done. Combined Boeing/Pilots/Flight Attendants Unions run a PR campaign, vouching for MAX's safety. Planes return to service, and eventually the public begrudgingly returns to their normal flying habits.

737 line is probably officially on it's deathbed. FAA may see some major scrutiny, and possible budget increases depending on political will.

And the world turns.

I don’t think you understand supply and demand. Forcing Uber to pay a non-market price for a service is pretty much the opposite of “true supply and demand”.
> an Uber isn't any cheaper than a taxi is most cases

They’re more reliable in more areas. If I lose something, I’ll get it back. The drivers are less likely to be on their phone, and if they are, it takes less effort to get compensated. (Also, pools are cheaper than taxis.)

With most taxi medallions owned by companies as, if not more, abusive than Uber, a congestion charge appears to be the best solution. This would lower supply evenly, letting prices be raised and thus creating room for compensation (and competition for drivers).
Companies can offer the same plans in different states, but don't. Insurance plans are regionalized because each state has their own regulations and the markets are different. The "across state lines" argument is a red herring. Even if you could use a plan from another state, it isn't like a doctor in New York is going to accept some HMO from Indiana.
What might be more interesting is that CrowdStrike is not really a Silcon Valley company, but has Silicon Valley investors, including Google Capital.

Crowdstrike is headquartered in Irvine, California (Orange County), and a large number of its engineering teams are actually remote/distributed.

So it seems that the 486 had a trivial not-taken predictor; but that's still different from stalling on each conditional branch and does require checkpointing and rollback on misprediction (although with a pipeline only 5 deep that's probably also not very complex).

DuPont (the chemical company) has been dumping PFOA/C8 chemicals into various waterways, causing cancer and birth defects[0] across hundreds of towns and cities in various parts of the US for decades[1], and when the EPA told them to stop and fined them something like $17M (for a company that makes tens of billions of dollars a year), they promptly switched to a different chemical process to produce Teflon that resulted in identical health issues[2].

Did any of their executives see any criminal charges? Of course not.

If the answer is it needs to use Ajax to load data after loading the js, then why not include that data on initial load?

So is the US. Meanwhile, China is already using their facial recognition technology to track ethnic and religious minorities and is currently "holding as many as a million of them in detention camps" [1]. We have already seen the US government move in a decidedly nationalistic direction over the past few years. Begging for a police state in the name of diminishing returns on security is playing with fire, and we do not need to look far back into the history of the US or Europe to see where that can lead.

I was about to argue with you and then realized I misspoke. Humans begin to die at 10Gs, as in survivability starts to drop at that point and if the point is to get the humans there and back again, that’s not very good.

Regardless, if people can survive 20Gs that still only doubles your range. And since we are discussing a category error of orders of magnitude, my point still stands.

I'd replace 'lonely' with 'lacking perspective', due to life being unbelievably great.

It's hard to know the difference - just go without hot water, electricity or much food for a few days and then see how much 'loneliness' bothers you.

It's an epidemic of life being so incredible, that we're constantly bored and restless. Strong human connections are made through negative experiences, not ecstasy.

You can't have an awesome life of doing nothing difficult, and yet have great close relationships. You have to choose.

We have choice now - in the past, you had to suffer. Now, you can choose to, if you want. Most people are choosing to not and slowly degenerate into old age, with a bored half-smile on their face at best, cluelessly bitching about trivialities at worst. It's all fine - just remember, you have to choose to suffer, if you want to achieve a great life.

Fully agree, also having multiple municipalities push through legislation like this can indicate to the state, which can take years to legislate to these issues, that there is a growing appetite.

Also- many activist coalitions will simultaneously advocate for legislation through several local and state levels. It’s actually sometimes ineffective to take the ‘one or the other’ approach.

Just because your city is more dangerous doesn't mean that SF isn't. I've had friends robbed right outside their apartments, acquaintances' teeth smashed in by thieves in broad daylight, and I've even personally apprehended a shoplifter running through one of the main streets next to Union Square. Nowhere else in America have I seen these problems, let alone the buckets of human waste on the streets and guys shooting up right next to the local Best Buy.

I've made plenty of real-life friends online too - difficult not to when you've transitioned through BBS's and everything since.

Social is the point it got less social, and more about algorithm of outrage and reaction - of the knee-jerk kind, oh, messaging and scheduling. Or sometimes trying to give carefully perfect posed glimpses into imperfect lives. More like movie of the life and marketing themselves than the life. Of course that's simply amplifying the bad tendencies of people as well as good, but it has brought a change in quality too.

If it's just me reaching dinosaur age, well the kids and friends seem far less satisfied with their lot than I ever remember anyone at their age - whilst still claiming to be mainly happy. I'm not even going to try and pick that apart here. :)

> things are only getting better in terms of places for meaningful socialization in my area

High streets are struggling, and it's not just retail - so I'm not sure where you are! Locally, and if the media is to be believed, everywhere that is not central London is losing all those sorts of amenities at similar rates. Libraries rate a special mention - they have been decimated everywhere, including London. Sure, it's not quite a cultural desert, but considering the growth of the town you'd hope there would be more not fewer venues and choices. I can venture further afield to a major city centre and find plenty of bars and restaurants, but even there fewer choices overall. Far more chance of 5 identikit Weatherspoons in place of the interesting, and great, independents.

> they never wanted to hang out in the first place

I suppose I walked into that. :p Thing is, it's not just me - I hear many muttering similarly at work, or when we do meet up, and we are talking on a post of an epidemic of loneliness after all. Everyone seems to be spread more and more thinly. Drowning, not waving?

But you generally know easily enough when people have moved on, lost interest, or are blanking you - that's something qualitatively different.

You should include compile time---your compile time is really good! Redshift sometimes takes longer to compile the query than to run it, though I think they may have improved this in the last 6 months.
This is interesting, but if you're working on truly CPU-bound code, is Python likely to be the best choice?

I guess technically I'm wrong.
Ah! The New York Times! Then there's nothing more to discuss, the article must be flawless.
Craigslist sellers decide on the price, how to exchange goods and money, etc. Uber and Lyft are not free marketplaces where drivers can offer a ride for a price they believe to be fair for their services - the platform owners decide the prices and the drivers are forced to accept that rate in order to get rides.

That has more to do with outsourcing and haphazard disintegration of product requirements than H1B's.
People seem to forget that "professional driver" is an actual job available for close to a century now if you really wanted a full-time position. Uber already works with FTE drivers at higher tiers like Lux and Black.

All of the drivers I've asked over 1000's of rides have said they prefer the freedom and flexibility to work on their own time. Yes they want more money, but not at the cost of the flexibility. They already have day jobs, or are students, retirees, business owners, etc, and are making extra income with an opportunity that wouldn't otherwise exist.

Perhaps the tiny handful of people who are suing to become employees should just go out and become employees instead of trying to change the rules for everyone else.

> if everybody tries to improve their bottom line then everybody wins

This idea is given fairly often as a rationale that economies should be organised around capitalism, yes.

Whether the principle holds up in practice seems, to me, the kind of question that would be answered best by seeking a very wide range of data, rather than by attempting to draw conclusions from a handful of news articles.

Some areas of the economy that are often proposed as counterexamples to the above principle include healthcare and the environment, where critics claims that 'everybody trying to improve their bottom line' results in inefficiencies & unnecessary complexity, socialization of costs (eg pollution, morbidity & mortality), or in some cases direct harm.

I think a more plausible theory is that the 'cybersecurity industrial complex' has a vested interest in general increases in cybersecurity spending. DNC had an interest in distracting from the previous HRC email leak.

Guccifer2.0 didn't really leak anything damning - so perhap this 'leak' was a red herring. DNC insiders could have performed the 'hack' and fabricated the evidence of attribution, then perform the 'leaking' themselves. DNC gets a distraction and makes opponent look friendly w/ foreign power, Crowdstrike gets more revenue from increased paranoia.

Probably incorrect... but more plausible.
> Today pretty much every operating system and app is available in Romanian, but I still use them in English. They just sound / look weird otherwise.

A native German speaker once told me the same thing. For example, the word for “File” is properly translated and is perfectly understandable to German speakers, but it looks unnatural. He and many peers his age never used computers or phones in German because being computer literate was synonymous with being English literate. Many of the localization features we have now in modern operating systems didn’t exist until five or ten years ago.

Let's recertify our jet instead of doing a new one, shorten time to market.

New engines don't fit, ruin the handling of the aircraft. Can't recert that.

Try to fix aircraft handling in software. Designed flawed system to hide this from pilots and get regulatory apptoval. Under testing discover that system as submitted to regulators does not work well enough in flight. Update to allow to run repeatedly instead of once as well as increasing movement ranger per cycle. Do not tell regulators.

Ship aircraft with 1 hour iPad video intro for pilots. Do not mention this system.

Discover that the indicator in the cockpit for sensor failure for the system only works if you have optional HUD upgrades. Sit on this data. Do not patch until your aircraft is grounded.
