I think it’s fine to assume they may be acting genuinely. The alternative would be to see this as propaganda, and dismiss Apple as nothing more than a bunch of suits making decisions based on short term gains over long term health and stability. Because why would any corporation, especially Apple, attempt to act rationally, right?

I have no horse in this race, but running a company, I know it’s possible to also have our truth and want to communicate it in a way that’s easy to understand. I don’t know if Apple is, but not every company has to be this demonic incarnation-of-evil we want to make them out to be.

I'd really love to know if this has any (remote, or even indirect) connection to the very special & cool irrational (one might say 'magic') angles described in this (Open Access, HTML!) paper:

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00004-015-0285-1

Vanderroost, Mike - Morphic Angles (2016)

I wanna know this, among other reasons, because no other paper cites this one, nor does any other paper describe these angles, yet, when one plugs the closest IEEE single/double float numeric approximation of the absolute numeric value of these angles into Google Scholar (in quotes), one can find numerous, but not staggeringly numerous, occurrences of these in the mathematics, physics, & biology literature.

All of these seem to so far have gone unidentified as linked to the rather generalized constructions from the above paper, because the obviousness of how to derive it seems somewhat unidirectional. I'd explain what I mean by that more specifically, but I actually struggle rather hard with finding the right words for it, so, for now I can only suggest trying it out yourself and seeing what you find!

I'll give you the IEEE float approximations I have at hand, which only cover the 2D case derived from the golden ratio, and not the 3D case derived from the plastic number (personally, I'd prefer if we started calling it the radiant ratio, but I don't think that'll catch on). Note that I don't have have single and double float values for them at hand right now, and that if one wanted to thoroughly check the literature for unnoticed occurrences of this, one'd have to factor in:

1. the two possible representations of each type of float. I forgot the term, but, the 'short' version typically returned by most but not all software, and the 'long' version actually stored, which /some/ software actually outputs. Both get accepted as the same value, of course)

2. each form of float rounding behavior

Anyway, here:

golden morphic angles (see the paper for why there exist two, tl;dr: intervals):

Circle, Ellipse:

degrees: 76.34541

radians: 1.3324789

turns: 0.2120706

Ellipse, Parabola, Hyperbola:

degrees: 126.869896

radians: 2.2142975

turns: 0.3524164

And just for completeness sake, the classic (not-generalizing-to-conic-sections) golden angle:

degrees: 137.50777

radians: 2.3999631

turns: 0.38196602
I don't know why you feel so strongly about this subject that you return to it four days later, but she is not an objective expert. She sounds like yet another low carb high fat preacher that wants to sell books, and she makes a flippant remark about how you emit methane after eating beans while "the vegans are blaming the cows". Oh, and she seems to eat plenty of fiber herself:

> I eat fruit most days, but not too much and because I like it, not because I think it is good for me. I eat a lot of vegetables/salads – locally grown/in season wherever possible. [...]. I do eat starchy carbs – just not daily. I enjoy porridge (plain oats and whole milk) – especially in the winter. I like brown rice and (veggie) curries/chilli.

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Zo%C3%AB_Harcombe

Even if you don't believe in or care about any health benefits fiber may have, two benefits are immediate after eating them: they fill you up and make you feel full without containing any energy which helps mediate calorie consumption, and they make bowel movements easier, at least if you drink enough water. I believe most people would feel better if they ate more fiber instead of red meat and fries.

This is an element of how rasterization is performed and has no implication on if graphics are 3D or not though. PS1 hardware having no perspective correct texture mapping doesn't make the games that used it "not 3D" - and on the flip side, a side scrolling 2D platformer using a rasterizer capable of perspective correct texture mapping (like any platformer that uses OpenGL or Direct3D to render its worlds as triangles) doesn't make the game use 3D graphics.
It depends how big you are. To be "Orwellian" requires scale.
> "This gave the plane a tendency to tilt up which could cause a stall"

That tendency also exists on Classic and NG 737's, and is something pilots are trained to compensate for. The issue with the MAX is the degree of this tendency changed. MCAS was meant to emulate the old (less severe) behavior.
No, they weren't. Taxi companies operated legally. Uber routinely broke the law.

Also it still perplexes me that Uber managed to convince so many people with their bullshit PR campaign about the small upstart facing the Taxi Mafia - when from the beginning it was a heavily-funded company, later turned multinational corporation, fighting small local providers with underhand tactics.
This hasn’t happened at all with Uber? Taxis are still a thing, transit hasn’t been shut down because of Uber. Revenues might be down, yes, but Uber is not remotely approaching a monopoly.

At its core, Salesforce is a platform. As such, our customers expect their code to work for the long run (and backwards compatibility forever). Not owning the framework fundamentally means jeopardizing our business and our customers, since we can't control our future.

We believe the best way to future-proof our platform is to align with standards and help push the web platform forward, hence our sugar and take on top of Web Components.

Also to your comment about using different frameworks, again as a platform, allowing our customers to trivially include their framework choice of the day, will mean that we might end up having to load seven versions of react, five of Vue, 2 Embers .... You get the idea :) Outside the platform we love all the other frameworks (hence other properties might choose what it fits their use cases) and we had a lot of good discussions with framework owners about how to keep improving things over the last two years.

Our goal is to keep contributing to the standards and push all the things to be implemented natively on the platform so we all get faster and better.

I don't think the OP said that they have no opinion. Beliefs are a conviction based on cultural or personal faith, morality, or values. Opinions are viewpoints, we all have them, but it's good to be aware that they're not based on facts.
that's kind of annoying. at the same time, this also underscores the issue of usability. why not alias "--help" to "help"?

yes, i know even critical open source projects are extremely underfunded. perversely, the lack of funding meant that there weren't enough people to review code, which meant contributing was difficult - at least according to this article from 2014 shortly after heartbleed: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/04/tech-...

It's somewhat relevant because it was plain as a day through continued behaviour that Uber is a sociopathic company. So while not all companies would follow the mechanic in question, and different companies may follow it at different pace, it was always obvious that Uber will screw riders over as soon as possible.
I foresee a class action suit in the near future. Handicapped people take longer to get in and out of the car. Uber’s rate them lower for it (this has been my personal experience, Boston). With this, handicapped people are denied services because of their handicap. Cut and dry violation of ADA (or whatever it is that determines protected classes).
You car manufacturer should be setting the psi, rather than the tire manufacturer. There are indeed manufacturers who recommend higher pressure on winter tires for that car model, but it's still the model and not the tire that drives it. (Tires have a max inflation pressure, but the recommended pressure comes off the door jamb of your car.)
It isn’t like these doors tensions are standardized. How much pressure to apply to the trunk door of this car you’ve never ridden in before? No idea, it might even be the auto closing kind. Thankfully, most Ubers are priuses, but not always.
Outside of the man page issue all of the complaints from the author apply to all platforms that have openssl.
I agree with you in general, but to be perfectly fair, even the Zero-style AIs have a few hyperparameters such as block size and CPUCT value etc that can be tuned to produce engines that play differently. And if Stockfish is the measuring stick by which you gauge progress, you'll tune those values to produce good anti-stockfish nets.

That said, I think the effect here is probably negligible.

DOJ needs to subpoena Boeing's internal communications for all things MCAS during and after it's development, and everything up to date.

We don't know if MCAS is the only thing keeping the planes in the air, and if it is easily disabled by faulty sensors in their new software update, we don't know how unsafe those planes are.
Yet they all knew about the MCAS failure after the Lion Air crash. How could they not? It was in the newspapers constantly. If I was an MCAS pilot, I would have been intensely interested in the Lion Air crash, if only to be damn sure it wouldn't happen to me.

I'm surprised the article didn't mention the quick hack that improves the UX on pretty much every news site: Disable javascript.

The chrome extension I use is one button that blocks JS on the current domain. The page reloads in a flash and is replaced by an easy-to-read block of text. Other websites are unaffected.

I am by no means a JS hater; I even tend to like SPAs on the web. It's just that these news sites seem to want us to run with JS disabled. It's really a better browsing experience.

Whenever I read about Rails it makes me want to try it again and "understand" it this time... But it always ends up feeling wrong, and I go back to old reliable Django.

I can't put my finger on it, but Django just feels intuitive to me and Rails just feels strange. Maybe it is the convention over configuration mindset which results in lots of magic, but I just can't get comfortable using Rails.

I love the idea of Rails and it's community, but I don't think it will ever be the tool for me.

And as a Django + Python lover, I feel the need to refute the idea (not just in this article) that it is mainly for academic/scientific purposes. Python is a great general purpose language which can do just about anything. It's not the best tool for every job, but for the generalist, it is wonderful. And Django is incredibly solid and can build an MVP in no time. And maybe I'm just a bad developer, but I don't see how the extra configuration necessary when using Django vs Rails is going to add up to much time at all when building your MVP. Is a couple of extra hours really going to make a difference?
I'd happily pay for membership of The Guardian if there was an option to block all the opinion pieces.

I completely agree, and listen to Trump speeches for the same reason. Let’s dissect their headline a bit.

> Dedicated to the best store experience for everyone.

What a fun happy sentence. What does it mean?

"Dedicated" - By who, to who? The assumption is Apple is dedicated to the user, but likely the inverse is the truth, and the goal. Dependence might be a better word.

"Best" - By what metric? The reader assumption is 'most user friendly'. The truth is closer to "spend the most money”.

"Experience" - Perhaps most overused word in millennial marketing. It makes you think of a travel adventure, something noble. The truth of this word is connected to “best”. The experience is one of consumption.

"Everyone" - Who is "everyone"? The reader assumption is one of inclusion. The reality, of course, is “those who have a compatible Apple device”.

So, a little truth reframe:

Driving our users to spend more money.
This is the real issue IMO. Any time I see people complain about data breaches or something they seem to be missing the point and diverting away from the true issues

IIRC, the pilot increased thrust to increase airspeed which made it harder to pull back on the yoke to fight against MCAS. I will need to check references again but I just got into bed.

Edit: here we go: Pilots have demonstrated in simulator that the trim wheels cannot be moved in severe mis-trim conditions combined with a high airspeed.[92][93] As the pilots on Flight 302 pulled on the yoke to raise the nose, the aerodynamic forces on the tail’s elevator would create an opposing force on the stabilizer trim jackscrew that would prevent the pilots from moving the trim wheel by hand.[86][91][94]

The resolution for this jammed trim issue is not part of Boeing's current 737 manual according to The Air Current.[90] The Seattle Times reports pilots on the 737-200 were trained for this failure, but latter models got so reliable, this procedure was no longer necessary.[91][90]

Just stolen from Wikipedia before I sleep: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_Airlines_Flight_30...
Boeing cannot say anything suggesting that this pilot was right, and that his warnings should have been heeded, without simultaneously admitting that it was wrong in saying that such training was not necessary.

There's another issue raised here: what sort of training was available? By withholding the existence of MCAS, did Boeing create a situation where there were no simulators with the capability to train pilots in handling an MCAS failure?
