There was indeed a deadly assumption in the design of the 737 Max: that pilots would be able to cope with a runaway trim problem by invoking a memory checklist.

Neither the Lion Air nor the Ethiopian pilots were able to do so, although the Lion Air crew that flew the same aircraft and encountered the same problem the day before managed to disable the electric trim and continue the flight to its destination without even inconveniencing the passengers.

This is not a design problem with the 737 Max. It is an indictment of the pilot training, economic, and social systems affecting the operation of some airlines.

The article fails to make it clear that the MCAS is, in fact, inactive for almost all of a normal flight: it is not operative when the autopilot is engaged, and it is not operative when the flaps are extended.

Furthermore, it is of no consequence whether the MCAS is specifically included in the flight manual because there is no possibility for the pilots to interact directly with the MCAS system; this can only happen through the runaway trim memory checklist.

The aircraft will be modified to use multiple sensors and to diminish the authority of MCAS. This will do nothing whatsoever to address the actual and growing problem that caused these incidents, which is the increasing tendency for pilots to be capable monitors of automated flight systems, but absolutely useless at flying the plane manually when those systems fail.

Thee will continue to be an increasing number of these type of incidents until we understand that not everything can be made cheaper and that objective facts exist and must guide our actions.

Our deflationary system enriches the few and keeps the rest happy by striving for ever-cheaper goods. We should be looking at pilots in the right seat of commercial aircraft with 98 hours of total flight time and saying, "no, that's beyond the limit of madness; we want quality of life instead of cheap goods and the pipe dream of wealth."

That won't matter to most of the ignorant reactionaries commenting in this thread who are looking to point the finger of blame anywhere but ourselves.
It could, but it's not in our hands.

And to be fair to management, there's not much of an argument to be made to shrink the pool of candidates so we can use reduce, if we're not seeing that feature bring anything to the table...

We already work with a somewhat small pool of candidates - they need to be somewhat competent, preferably familiar with niche technologies that we use in other areas, and willing to work mainly with JS.

I wonder if this bug also applies to using the "Looks like 1280x800" option on a MBP with a 2560x1600 screen (this is what I use). The default is "Looks like 1440x900".

But doesn’t this apply to a doctor or lawyer who also have an ethics code to follow? Or basically any other line of work. The difference being that even a single software engineer’s work has a huge impact on society these days. More than any one doctor or lawyer.

There may be some very good reasons that I haven’t thought of not to support this ethics idea. But putting food on the table shouldn’t be it because this one reason applies to any activity that could ever put food on the table, no matter how illegal, immoral, etc.
Sometimes an initial sacrifice for future mutually beneficial dividends is warranted, if it’s likely to be reciprocated. Keeping things purely transactional is better if you expect your counterpart to try to take advantage of you, of course, but I don’t think this is the case for all professional relationships, always.
I've always found it odd that if we were invaded, the current 'interpretation' (because I find it really hard to believe this was the intention when it was written) would have rights extended to them.

It seems incredibly obvious to me that the law, at the very least, should have a clause for being here legally.

What credibility is that? My impression is that they have lost quite a lot of what they once had for exactly this reason.
In France, we have something called "droit à l'image". It means that if you can't appear on a picture without your authorization, with a few exceptions.

If you give an authorization, it has to be for a specific purpose and not generalized. So just because you gave an authorization to appear in a movie doesn’t mean you gave an authorization for other purposes, such as face matching. Same thing for social media.

There are also copyright issues. If France, you always own copyright (droit d'auteur), you may transfer the exploitation rights but the work is still yours. It means you still retain some level of control, in particular regarding decency.

France is just one European country but that's to show that there are limits to what you can do, even with publicly available data.

It's public handles only. They specifically say they do not want your passwords. They also will not circumvent any security, so if you have a twitter account locked, or fb posts to friends-only, they are not included. This is explicitly about public postings and public information.
The population of Tokyo proper is 13.8M and the metro area (think Bay Area SF to San Jose) is 38.1M. I lived in Tokyo and have been back around 100 times over the last 10 years, most recently last week. SF does not even register as a city to my way of thinking.
How can they possibly require people who don't have social media profiles to hand such details over? Where's the proof that someone has or hasn't a social media profile? If they can verify that someone who claimed not to have a Facebook account indeed does, then why ask the question at all?

And if the US government is going to rely on Facebook and Google for identify vetting, then we've really entered an overtly "CorpGov" era, to steal a term from Yippies. Even if this is only a problem for visa applicants at the moment, who's to say what the next step will be?
Weird that this was not discussed much. The title is not very gripping, I must say. But the content is hard-hitting. Stiglitz (Nobel price in economics, former chief economist of the World Bank) says:

"The neoliberal experiment – lower taxes on the rich, deregulation of labor and product markets, financialization, and globalization – has been a spectacular failure. Growth is lower than it was in the quarter-century after World War II, and most of it has accrued to the very top of the income scale. After decades of stagnant or even falling incomes for those below them, neoliberalism must be pronounced dead and buried."
They have the data. Maybe they want to catch liars instead of just an algorithmic risk score?
Google stopped censoring in China years ago, so in that respect, Google has gotten better. Meanwhile, Apple has handed iCloud keys to the Chinese government to access any Chinese user's data at will.
only for DoS, not DDoS. i.e. if you omit the distributed from Denial of Service, then iptables will work. Not so when the attack exhausts either your bandwidth or your stack's filtering capabilities. it's easy to rent GBits of distributed attack bandwidth.
It's now illegal for all the major players to sell them microprocessors. Can't build a smartphone without one.

A lot of people seems to be thinking that it is pointless to use iptables to drop unwanted traffic in 2019. That is far from the truth.

Most attacks are usually small(<10 Gbps) and effective iptables rules can go a long way, both against unwanted application traffic and packet floods.
This is an important distinction. By conflating the two systems, it makes the severe case (PRC) closer to a normalized method (US Policy; same as corporate HR). It's all a slippery slope.

Firefox hasn't blocked the extension as far as I know, they're "merely" not offering it on AMO anymore. You can still install it via the author's website.
The existing webRequest API lets extensions run arbitrary third-party code over all the requests you make, and Chrome won't process the request until it's done. That inevitably means that a badly written extension can hurt page loading performance, and a malicious extension can get a lot of sensitive data about you.

Whatever Google's true motivation is, there's no way to solve those problems without limiting the power available to ad blockers.
It's not unencrypted (except DNS and UDP) if it's https, right?
Sometimes I think “wouldn’t it be fun to try to write an emulator?”. And then I read things like this. When you’re up against things like emulating hardware to just throw away leading bits so that it will mask the mistakes of the original games’ programmers, maintaining an emulator starts to seem like a ridiculous task.

The original article has an update (5/30) from a google spokesperson: “Chrome supports the use and development of ad blockers. We’re actively working with the developer community to get feedback and iterate on the design of a privacy-preserving content filtering system that limits the amount of sensitive browser data shared with third parties.”

>I have a strong suspicion that people smart enough to do advanced meta programming on their own are not smart enough to collaborate with equally skilled coworkers on code that uses all those abstractions to the max. Even collaborating with your own former self is more difficult that writing new code.

I'm an unabashed Clojure fanboy and will talk the language up to anyone who will listen, but one thing that I've been thinking about lately is that good judgment on abstraction use is necessary for using such powerful tools. I don't think the place to tackle it is by being "smart enough to understand," but rather by being "disciplined enough to not abstract sometimes." The exciting thing is that discipline doesn't require you to be super smart, just to think it's worth caring about.

Also half-baked, but I think it's something.

A tub will work, sure, as long as it's pulled from a large body of water that hasn't warmed up with the air. Hopping in the local lake is an obvious choice.

But in a detached demographic sense: effectively everyone lives in a city in the modern world, and while their housing might not be air conditioned most of the major buildings are. In an emergency like this everyone would just crowd into office buildings and shopping malls.

That's not to say this wouldn't be horrifying, but it's not the kind of existential social crisis people tend to imagine. Cooling ourselves down in a heat wave, in the modern world, is a solved problem at least as far as keeping ourselves alive goes.
I think because it's now going to be a required question? It's one thing if you're putting information about yourself for the public to see and having the government research it independently, but it's another for it to be expected that you hand over your account handles to social media accounts that might not even be publicly visible in the first place. Even worse that the government would be essentially using multinational corporations as de facto identity vetting.
Are you saying that an effective way to fight back over a law like this is by using guns on the government?

I think you overestimate what iptables can do and for what they are used today. Most of the DDoS filtering is done using XDP, BPF, not iptables. Articles you linked contradict your thesis. In first article they write there about iptables but they use XDP most of the time because it's a better/more efficient solution. In second article they are using iptables for routing, not preventing DDoS.
Chrome's dev tools are quite a bit faster, but FF's dev tools give a better overview. IMO. In general, I'd say it's mostly personal preference and inertia.

US to force visa applicants to hand over social media details
What are the "qualifications of a journalist?" They are people with opinions that write stuff. If you think journalism and writing departments are teaching rigor and factual veracity, you are mistaken. I've only come to it recently, but Gell-Mann Amnesia Affect is something to be aware of and avoid.

True, but I expect you to know which two or three /distinct/ tools you can work with effectively, and which situations they are most suitable for.

Not only that, but knowing multiple languages has a multiplicative effect, massively expanding how you think of programming in all the languages you know, even the stable standbys like C#.
Facebook's datacenters aren't on the border though, so I don't see how that's relevant. That's a bad policy, but it hinges on the fact that people entering the country are right at the edge of the "jurisdiction" requirement of the equal protection clause.

Look, I get that people are angry about everything in the civil liberties space, but not every policy is the end of the world. Argue about specifics, not good guys & bad guys.
Nihilistic it may be. But please don't equate nihilism and nativity.

>> The demand here isn't for your social media history, it's for your account IDs. If they want your (non-public) posts, they still have to get a warrant from a judge and show cause, just like they do now.

So what does this mean for people who want to publish their thoughts under a pseudonym? Or people who (like me) don’t have any meaningful social media presence (no Facebook, for example). Does that make them suspect, liable for more elaborate screening, easier to deny them access, etc? How far back do you have to supply your details? What if I forget to mention some account I used 10 years ago, can that be seen as failure to comply, and can it be held against me? I can see many other ways something like this could be abused to harass innocent people. In that sense, I can see where the comparison with the social credit system is coming from.

Well, no. I have an iPhone, but I don't trust Siri, so I leave voice recognition off. I do trust Apple enough that when I turn off mic access for an app, the app doesn't get mic access.
Yahoo had three search engines when I was there. Inktomi, FAST and Altavista. I came to Yahoo through the acquisition of FAST's web search business, and we had a variant of page rank which was developed some time in the summer/fall of 1999. I shared an office with the guy who wrote it. After the initial implementation it went through lots of evolution. As did everything in search.

What gets people confused is that they tend to think this was the only mechanism in use and that it was a solution that never evolved. Things also get confused by the fact that not everybody knew everything. (For instance, hardly anything in the "official" origin story of FAST is true, and you'll get conflicting stories depending on who you ask).

I don't think the Altavista engine was ever used. I think the people from Altavista ended up on Panama, Vespa and possibly some on the Inktomi-based engine. The FAST and Inktomi engines were both in use for a short while for web search, and then the effort was split so the FAST engine was used in what became Vespa (where pagerank isn't as good a mechanism as for the web). Vespa grew out of work at FAST that started around 2002-2003 to separate out the more infrastructural bits of the search engine into more reusable infrastructure components).

Eventually Inktomi was used for web search at Yahoo. Simply because of geography (well, politics). Since Inktomi didn't really have anywhere to go that pretty much sealed the fate of Yahoo as maker of a web search. You might be thinking of Inktomi.

> The only real winner will be Russia: they can just absorb all the refugees from South Asia

Ethnic Russians are already concerned about plunging birthrates. It is not at all unusual to hear elected Russian officials talk about “the future of the white race”. Furthermore, Russians are aware that a decline in the ethnic Russian population means that the local Muslim minorities gain a correspondingly higher share of the country. Thus, the topic is already a very pressing and sensitive one, and it would be silly to suggest that Russia is open to admitting masses of Muslim (or Hindu) refugees.

There are multiple layers to the solution which all relates to the pressure on your nervous system, what baseline stress/pressure you have - which ties into stress/factors including inflammation.

Many people self-medicate with inflammation without realizing it, inflammation having a depressant effect - and many foods causing inflammation, meaning our connection to our bodies and feelings are suppressed some to heavily depending on inflammation (and how long we've used food-as-a-coping-mechanism/medication).

Cleaning up diet as much as possible, reducing inflammation as much as possible - includes working towards a healthy weight and water fasting + intermittent fasting seem to be the ideal way, along with allowing the brain to have fluidity again with psychotropic plant medicines seems to be one ideal as well: MDMA for post-traumatic stress therapy, Psilocybin mushrooms (magic mushrooms), and Ayahuasca ceremonies are also powerful tools - that research is beginning to show.

There are also diagnostics possible for our sensory (e.g. through auditory channel) to check for imbalances and sensory processing blocks, which allows for accurately predicting a set of behaviours depending based on the diagnostic - and then sound therapies that exist to help 'unlock' those blocked development processes.

Then there are different levels of modalities of getting the nervous system and energy flowing again, from being more stagnant to completely stagnant - some more 'brute force' methods like acupuncture - Traditional Chinese Medicine methods - to the more subtle energy movement of say Reiki or osteopathy; and without getting into a debate - or arguing that placebo is a powerful benefit on its own - a further level of subtlety - if you believe in them or are sensitive enough and therefore potentially fragile enough to experience benefit from them: homeopathic remedies.
