Interesting. I do tend to favor protocols that are a bit lower level and more flexible for composing higher-level functionality. Though this does sound pretty complicated to implement using only what capnproto offers right now. Would there be a way to jury rig "request(n)" backpressure as described in reactive streams[0] (also implemented by RSocket[1]) on top of capnproto? That's what I'm using for omnistreams and it's proven very simple to reason implement and reason about.

Yes. And even in this thread people are minimizing it.
Actually the more I think about it I don't think it would work, since request(n) assumes the producer can send multiple messages for each request.
If MCAS is disabled for some reason because of sensor failure, how does that factor into the common type rating? Same goes for if they significantly lower how much input it provides.
DO is famously bad at dealing with abuse reports; in a lot of cases they simply do nothing.

The counter argument to this is that their representation is arguably higher now than any other time in history, so more representation (falsely) equates to less wealth by your supposition.

What I am saying is that although such speculations may even seem like common sense, they have been disproven by contact with reality. (Edit: to add, small weapons are much easier to conceal than a long gun like a rifle or shotgun, and are therefore vastly better for the majority of criminals to use. Homicides from mass shootings are relatively rare and are an example where concealing the weapon isn’t necessarily needed, so large weapons like rifles are a bit more represented there). Edit 2: I guess I would just add again, yes a .22 caliber bullet is smaller and has less impact than a rifle bullet, however, pistols and handguns do kill and are constantly used. Reloading does not take long and even revolvers have “speed loaders”. Range does not matter for the majority of these mass shootings are committed at close range.

Here is an example of “small pistols” that were in the top 10 most used guns by criminals. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_night_special

I think you are partly wrong on two counts here:

1. Functional programming is popular in academia (particularly in PLT) but so is just about every sort of programming. Lots of academics have carved out niches and worked on them for long times.

2. Your view of industry is somewhat biased. In the sort of tech companies talked about on HN (eg Bay Area style companies), functional programming methods are growing in popularity but it isn’t really functional programming languages but certain functional programming techniques (in particular mutating this as little as possible and in particular not all over the place). Outside of such companies everyone still uses java, C, C++, C#, or JavaScript with some people using react now which is somewhat popular.

Couple this along with the fact that millennials are largely choosing to live in cities which have seen the most dramatic cost of living/rent inflation.
I don't understand this sentiment. The whole point of choosing a permissive license is that you want others to have the right to profit off of your work and give you nothing in return.

If you don't want others to have that right, then choose a different license.

But don't grant the right and then complain when people exercise it.
I saw an interesting talk about proc gen which was basically saying a lot of studios are moving from hand crafting to procedural tools. For example if you want to fill a park with trees you don't place them by hand, you just specify the density and type of trees and let the computer place them. The advantage is that if you want to reshape the park later you can just click and drag. Then when you are happy you go though and hand craft more content on top.

They were saying there is a critical mass where procedural tools feed into procedural tools and a lot of the pipeline is automated, then it becomes extremely cheap to make more content.

So back to your point: I think this is where we will see AI more in game dev, it will be as smart tools to empower creators to make stuff more easily. I don't think the AI will make the game, I think it will assist the humans with the creation of it.

Here is a talk about Spiderman and how much proc gen they used there https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aw9uyj9MAE
> first you exclude 'non-western' nations, and by doing so acknowledge that there are factors besides gun ownership rate that influence gun death rates

Of course, they are. If you live in an active conflict zone or in a country with a weak state, then surely that influences gun-related deaths (e.g. armed conflict doesn't require a lot of civilians to have guns. It's hard to control for all these variables. However, this doesn't detract from the fact that, among somewhat similar countries, gun ownership is a very strong predictor of gun-related deaths. It also doesn't detract that, amongst all nations, the US is still a leading country regarding gun deaths

> Which include gun suicides, and so probably shouldn't be included here!

No, they should be included, because gun ownership makes suicide more likely and much easier (see charts 11-13 in [2]): Most suicides are very spontaneous (see effectiveness of suicide fences) and guns make suicides quick and easy.

> gun ownership rates are not as different in Europe as you'd think - US gun ownership rates are only slightly higher than those of Europe. (Not guns per capita, % of population owning guns) Most of Europe and the anglosphere ranges between 20 and 30 % gun ownership

I couldn't find data confirming that. However, there's an interesting bit on Wikipedia on research showing the correlation between gun ownership and violence [3]. Also, this doesn't change the association between number of firearms and gun deaths: More guns also means easier access to guns. Also, owning a gun in Europe is very different: you have to meet very stringent requirements, go through various trainings, and store your guns safely.

It should be obvious that having two deranged, murderous individuals, having easier access to guns, increases the likelihood of a murder.

> If you want to include countries that the US borders like Mexico, great

I'm not sure why that should be important, but just note that it is the availability of weapons in the US, smuggled over the border, which fuels the drug war there.

Why don't we start with extending some employee coverage to 1099? Like just one thing healthcare, and idk car insurance for Uber/Lyft and then see how it goes.

Sounds better than dealing with extremes.
If you get a reading of 20 on one and 34 on the other, you disregard both and disable the system.

There’s a big difference between a system which must work and a system which must not go wrong. For example, the fly by wire system in an Airbus must work. A failed sensor must not disable the system. Thus, you need at least triple redundancy to keep functioning in the event of a failure.

Boeing’s MCAS system, on the other hand, doesn’t need to work. The plane flies just fine without it. It merely needs to not go crazy. Two sensors is sufficient.

This doesn’t seem correct to me, but I can’t put my finger on why. Surely if both agree that’s more certainty than a single sensor reading. Granted a disagreement would be bad, but at least you would have some warning that one of them is wrong, whereas you would have none at all if relying on a single sensor.
The media is extremely powerful and has amplifying effects on violence. Both they and the police are strong and dangerous.
Definitely a culture & behaviour mix that keeps people from acting in their best interest. Might be that the current offline/online social platforms don't allow what's needed to occur. Friends might talk about being tight on finances for a day but what else will come of it?
"do racist assholes disproportionately gravitate towards the police force?"

This one, probably, as usually racist+fascist assholes are the ones who dream of wearing an uniform and carry weapons so they can "feel the power" over other people.
It's a selection problem, which I'm sure those responsible are very aware of and have no intention to change. A violent cop is a perfect weapon for corrupt governments and politicians: he does nasty things for you and when he retires he becomes part of your private "police" as eternal gratitude for having saved his ass multiple times for those nasty things.
That is also very likely the reason why there are many accounts of cops abusing steroids (side effects very similar to cocaine) but so far it seems no serious investigation has been started.
It is more about spreading the wealth to the people who actually need it instead of focusing on consumerist nonsense in a first world bubble
Ok, that makes sense. But are the hours at which they got replaced are on order (or several) of magnitude lower than a two-sensor failure can occur? I hope it is calculated.

Colloquially, we use profession to mean "I get paid for this thing." Traditionally, there are requirements for something to be a profession. A central licensing body must assert a professional has gained the requisite knowledge to practice. (The Bar serves this purpose for lawyers.)

The examples given imply this classical meaning of "profession". As you've pointed out, engineering in this context means jobs you'd need a license for, like civil engineering.

> It’s very unlikely that both would fail simultaneously. If they did, it’s very unlikely that both would provide the same erroneous readings.

They don't have to fail simultaneously in a flight. And they don't have to fail by internal sensor problems.
There are many cases in which they can simultaneously fail and give same readings, article even mentioned such types of events:

>> That probability may have underestimated the risk of so-called external events that have damaged sensors in the past, such as collisions with birds, bumps from ramp stairs or mechanics’ stepping on them.

And AF447 gives an example when such erroneous readings combined with pilot errors may lead to.

> Surely there's a segment of the population with similar personality traits predominant to police officers that don't become police officers. One would think they'd also have similar incident of domestic violence

Funny enough, casual criminals fit that picture quite well. That would explain why they are attracted to "the horrible things people do to one another, on a regular basis" - to a non-trivial extent, they share the character traits of the people who do these things in the first place.
> It would give them access to healthcare and other things a lot of people take for granted.

This is something I'm not clear on. Couldn't Uber still hire the drivers and limit them to 39 hours a week? Wage workers don't get benefits like health insurance. Even being a salaried worker does not guarantee health insurance, etc.

Altavista was actually just a tech demo of their servers :)
Yes, but that's not an innovation worth billions of dollars, like real high tech innovation that takes billions of dollars to get off the ground (e.g. the semiconductor industry back in the days). Instead it's pretty much straightforward functionality that could be implemented by any small team of programmers.
It's probabilistic, the best you can do is minimize your chances but everything causes harm to some degree until you're dead.

The planet will be fine in the long run. The current ecosystem, and its ability to sustain as many people as it is currently, will not be.

Yes, the Earth has changed a lot over the past 4.6 billion years, including many instances in which the majority of extant species suffered huge die-offs and went extinct. We are currently causing this to happen again, which will be bad for us as well for most other species. Why would we do so when we could instead not do so? Unlike the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs and previous catastrophes of the past, this one is of our own making, and is within our power to prevent. Why would you be so blase about allowing it to happen when we could NOT have it happen? We'll all be far worse off for it having happened.
It's amusing how Wolfram don't get why his friends politely shy off from discussing his theories with him and don't seem to understand. Gell-Mann's reaction to A New Kind of Science is telling.

Wolfram can squeeze just few interesting and original things in his book but he handwaves it as something magnificent and revolutionary. The most striking feature of the book is the extremely high quality of printing, layout and illustrations. He created monument for himself.
Never even thought about this, geez. Do we have any rough stats on how often this happens?

Also, just another reason I don't use smart devices.
Uber definitely changed the user experience of calling a car service for the better. Everybody has an app now and lots have predefined pricing. It’s the stuff they did after that (the so-called “sharing economy”) that went off the rails.
As long as we keep (as a whole) letting a country that ground dissidents to a paste and washed the result down the sewers, drive our collective greed, we're fucked.

The whole agenda of the guy writing this is to move open source projects to being no longer open source, because he doesn't like what that entails (as it also means "amazon enjoys the same freedoms as everyone else"). But they like to confuse it as much as they can.

This would be much less of an issue if these people were upfront: "We don't like Open Source, so we try something else". But they don't want to do that because they know Open Source has a good reputation, so they try confusion and deception.
> Millennials are the largest voting block in the US. They have more representation than any other demographic

Eh, millennials are a large population block. As a voting block, we're borderline useless [1]. And that's just voter turnout. The more important forms of participation--showing up to meetings--tends to show single-digit participation.

I have the impression that people are overlooking the sensors. They are suppose to be very, very, reliable. Two different planes got wrong reading from sensor in the same side, this seems to be a red flag for me. I wonder in what side of the sensor cable the problem is.

Dual Incorporation- Delaware C Corp and Canadian Corporation
I have a startup currently based out of Brooklyn, New York and is a Delaware C corporation. Given the abundance of government grants available to Canadian businesses by their government, I am thinking of incorporating in Canada as well.

I'm not sure about the legal, tax consequences and how to proceed with reorganizing a Delaware corporation to have a Canadian parent corporation.

Has anyone here started with a Delaware C corp and then incorporated in a canadian province?

Can anyone here please point me to any resources or anyone we should contact?

The point is that, as safety-critical equipment, you can't fly the plane if one is broken. So you'd need to have two fail within a single flight, and fail in the same way, in order to cause an incorrect activation of MCAS. With just one sensor, it's much more likely.

Note that Airbus uses three of these sensors on their planes, so that when one fails you know which one it is, and can still rely on the signals from the two remaining good ones. Then you replace the failed sensor before the next flight.
THESE SOFTWARES ARE NOT OPEN SOURCE YOU IDIOT.

If they’re damaged on the ground, surely it’ll be noticed that the sensors are claiming an extreme AoA while just sitting there, and they’ll be fixed.

AF447 is an example of a fly by wire system that has to keep working no matter what happens, thus a bunch of redundant systems and a series of alternate modes the system can fall back on to operate in a degraded state.

MCAS, in contrast, is not a critical system. It could shut down with no problems at all. These crashes happened only because it didn’t shut down when faced with a failed sensor, because it couldn’t detect the failure.
