Meanwhile he claims 737 will be their safest plane ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE4tX0eIDEQ

Edit: unsure if this video is correct, but the MCAS system is classical "solution" to how in software a junior programmer would patch their software by adding more complexity to the code without realizing what that changes would further affect. It felt like they gave up on some solid solution and just decided to added a sensor who would overwrite pilot manuver.

A similar situation would be downgrading a size of tires on a new model of a car (to be competitve with other auto makers that lower the price) and simply adding software blockage that you cannot turn wheels as violent as you could before because on thin thread that would lead to a car tipover.

The whole video - if correct, paints a grim picture of profits above PAXes...

It’s more an inability to grasp it rather than an inability to produce that sound.

It’s especially apparent when after learning to make the “p” sound, ESL (or ETL/EFL even!) Arabs go around saying “apsoloutely no broblem.” The most common reverse substitution is probably “peautiful” with considerable emphasis on the p.

Here’s the thing: even if someone you don’t like is intentionally spreading it, that doesn’t imply it’s incorrect.

That's true. And I have already said that I have no specific reason to question the factual accuracy of this reporting. If I am suggesting anything by the way of any kind of "conspiracy" it would simply be the extent / frequency of reporting on the topic. And even there, I'll admit, it could be that this all perfectly above board. I'm just pondering possibilities, that's all.
I guess that's why Go is a subset :)

Although to be fair to Go, I don't think ALGOL 68 had a (slightly broken) implementation of CSP and HTTP/2.0 support in the standard library.
why?

I'm not being glib here:
Does the leak represent a meaningful increase over the background oil leak rate?
Are any people being harmed by the leak?
Is any endangered wildlife being harmed by the leak? Global warming being unduly exacerbated?

Ultimately, does the human cost of leaving the leak outweigh the human cost of fixing the leak? Without the balance of probability putting the answer in the affirmative fixing the leak and not '"putting profit first"' is hurting people, not helping.

Yes, dare to dream of a new human, a better human, a socialist human. Those who fail to update from legacy hardware, those of course would have to be guided by a elite, a selected view, a Avantgarde, a party. Those whorresist this group, regressive, would need to be separated, thought a lesson, in camps way up north. To still have this dream, after all that happened, makes the dreamer a proofs of its impossibility. You can hack, but you can't redesign. We don't have that kind of time.
I hate the fact that all discussion focuses on the software and ignores the airframe.
Slightly off topic: Does anyone else have the problem of constantly being logged out of your Google accounts on Brave. I keep getting logged out even without closing the browser. I have tweeted to them but haven't been able to get a response. I am so annoyed with the experience that I stopped recommending it and am planning to switch back to Chrome.

Edit: I have multiple Google accounts signed into. And also, it does not block all ads in GMail which uBlock on Chrome is able to.
A longer landing gear to get the plane higher off the ground doesn't fit into the existing gear well in the wings. So you would have to redesign the wings. This required making sure that the loading on the main body stays the same. By now you are doing more than 50% the design work of a new airplane and you definitely can not keep the type rating. And if you need a new type rating anyway, you would redesign the cockpit, probably to be similar to the glass cockpits in the 777s.

They had the money specifically because they decided not to renew their contract with Detroit water to save money. If they couldn't afford to treat their water, they shouldn't have ever tried switching water sources from Detroit. Not to mention they had even more money to fund the Huron pipeline project to get off Detroit water which would also need to be treated.

The people who switched water sources was not the Flint local government, it was the state appointed manager, which was against local and state wide voter's wishes. WNot sure what you are talking about with 'stealing water', it makes no sense, it is government owned infrastructure, not private enterprise. They had a literal pipeline already working and connected to the Detroit water supply and had it for decades and they decided to turn it off for cheaper Flint water. The costs of treating flint water was 100% known beforehand.

They knowingly falsified water test results specifically to not pay for water treatment, what are the costs of killing people, destroying an entire city's worth of water infrastructure, and paying off people to falsify water tests?

The water would have been fine if it was treated, it would have been fine if they kept buying Detroit water for another 2-3 years like they had been for decades. If water test results weren't falsified every sanitation engineer in the country would be calling them up telling them the billions of dollars worth of damage they were doing to their pipes.

Okay so you don't want them to drink the water, fine. How does that prevent the acidic water from destroying 50 years worth of water infrastructure in a single year? How does bad tasting water prevent billions of dollars in damages?

The EM did a horrible job, they killed people, first via legionnaires disease, then via lead poisoning, not to mention the decades of population with reduces IQ and increased violence, crime, and incarceration costs. Then they cost them Literally billions of dollars destroying the entire pipeline system.

The biggest damage to Flint wasn't the poisoning of the people, which is bad enough, but the destruction of billions of dollars of government property. It is like burning piles of $100 bills so you don't have to pay for your gas to be turned on. If you think the EM did a good job (and the water crisis is only the tip of the iceberg) then I don't think you have been paying attention at all.
Slightly off topic, but do people prefer metal laptop cases as seen in this HP elitebook? Aluminum looks great, but I find it way more slippery than carbon or even matte plastic. Soft shells are so much more comfortable to hold than metal.

The disappointing thing is Apple managed to draw a lot of otherwise sensible designs from the practicality of the 90s to an aesthetics-first approach. As an old Thinkpad user, I am baffled by the design decisions in the Macbook-Pro line of products, from the shell to thinness and repairability.
I remember being told about a study done by the air force to determine what made a good leader. They studied school age children, and had them tell lies to their peers. The ones which could most successfully convince their peers of the lies were ultimately the best leaders.
The last 'flagship' mobile phone with removable battery - the LG V20 did ok and had a diehard fanbase, but still mobile phone manufacturers dropped replaceable batteries as a feature. It certainly is done to force more sales and consumption in the market.

In LG's case though, it backfired as their mobile marketshare dropped with each successor to the V20. I suspect they could have carved a large niche by evolving the V20 design and fixing the problems that plagued it. LG's repairable phones were a point of difference. The V30 and beyond were glued shut and offered very little differentiate themselves.

Canon used to ship various models of pocket camera which offered a similar feature as shown by the original post (ability to use AA or AAA batteries depending on model). This to me was a practical feature but the market must have shown otherwise.

SymPy can expand series too, one line of code - and you're done. But that would be no fun.

The idea here is: every differentiation or integration over a polynomial results in another polynomial, right? And a polynomial in a point is just a linear equation of its coefficients. You can shove them into a system and make SymPy solve it.

So you can use differential and integral properties of some random function in some points, turn it into a linear system - and have a model of a function as a polynomial. That's it!

It's not even that the SEO consulting exists, for me it's that Google's dominance has made the web very samey and bland.

For one example "content people like" on YouTube is apparently headshots with exaggerated expressions, large colourful text, and arrows and circles and other "exciting" features. Not to mention the trend towards a generic "YouTube voice" inflection that they all seem to share if they stay on the platform long enough.

There's plenty of great stuff, but it doesn't seem to find its way onto my suggestion feed at all.

Who paid for the content I actually visit StackOverflow for? It surely wasn't SO; they provide a nice platform but they also get that content for free. This isn't a journalism site, the value in SO comes from freely provided user answers. Yes, SO provides some value vs. forums via their q/a platform, but it is a marginal amount of value.

Sure, SO is easier than parsing a forum thread, but the actual value that I care about is the answers provided for free by their users. I could easily return to 90's era usenet, it wasn't as convenient but it worked. What I couldn't deal with is a lack of a platform where people ask technical questions & get answers, I remember being on dial-up and reading paper manuals that were out-of-date/incomplete. But SO isn't irreplaceable, and I am oftentimes frustrated with finding questions closed for incorrect reasons, normally my answer is buried 2 links deep in SO because my DDG search (and Google too) takes me to an improperly closed question where the 'previously addressed' question is adjacent to my query.

StackOverflow does not provide an irreplaceable service; like github they do some nice things but there isn't any reason they must be the dominant platform. And the real value is in the answers, which SO gets for free.
I'd say the improper input was the most direct factor, as it was responsible for the stall condition all the way into the ocean.

But there are multiple major factors leading up to that, including the lack of high altitude training in direct law, and that the simulator didn't exactly simulate high altitude stalls, and that the stall warning stopped when the angle of attack was beyond the sensor limit. All of these things are major and the final report really sank a lot of blame on Airbus and Air France as well as pilot startle effect basically stopping their brains from working the problem. The senior pilot who arrived didn't have that, and quickly figured out the source of the problem but by then it was too late, not enough altitude to recover.
There's probably a way to allow everyone to participate by capping individual participation.

It wouldn't be easy to implement, or popular, and frankly I don't have any idea how it could happen, but it's the only approach I can think of to address the underlying labor supply/demand issues without partitioning society into haves / have-nots, productive / not-productive, Elysium / peasants, etc.

While I have friends who have had to leave the Bay Area because of high rents, I also have (non tech, multi-generational local) friends who have the vast majority of their wealth tied up in their (or their parents) house here.

I don’t love how some members of the YC community (often independently wealthy tech types) seem to suggest that this latter group need to sacrifice themselves by supporting policies that would effectively undermine the only thing that is allowing them to stay in the Bay Area.

I realize that the YIMBY crowd fervently believe that eventually, at some point, their policies will benefit both groups, but in the meanwhile the house prices here are stagnating and predicted to fall next 12 months which is already causing anxiety. Simply dismissing this group as NIMBYs who don’t want to look at high rises so badly misses the point that I’m not surprised they are failing in their mission
Very likely. I'd pay hundreds of dollars a year to Gogle if they guaranteed* me, with severe legal repercussions otherwise, that they wouldn't track me, or allow a single bit of my data, anonymized or not, leave their servers, or be used in any other way that wasn't for my own purpose.

One thing that is different this time is that we are more directly replacing humans.

When we replaced, say, horse drawn wagons with trucks, yes, we killed off a lot of jobs associated with wagons. Wagon drivers, wagon builders, horse trainers, horse feed suppliers, etc., might have lost some or all of their work.

But trucks needed drivers, truck makers, mechanics, fuel supply, and so on, so a lot of new work was created.

Now suppose we replace human driven trucks with self-driving trucks, getting rid of a lot of truck driver jobs, and also a lot of jobs related to supporting truck drivers.

Yes, the self-driving trucks will create some new work. But a self-driving truck is pretty much just a regular truck with some extra sensors, a computer, some actuators to let the computer operate the controls, and some software. The sensors, computers, and actuators are all commodity items or close to it.

So rather than create new jobs sufficient to counter the lost jobs of truck drivers and those who support truck drives, switching to self-driving trucks just increases demand a bit for some commodity hardware, and requires some extra training for truck mechanics to maintain the new equipment.

We're starting to transition from a type of industrial revolution where people using machines are replaced by people using very different machines, to a type where people using machines are being replaced by very similar machines that require fewer or no humans to operate.

Yes, that's correct!

In fact, with sine modelling, Taylor series beats this approach with lower error. But with this you get to choose your properties so you might get more useful model instead.

Say, if you want to conjoin two sine models got from Taylor series to have it on a full [0, 2pi], you will have derivative discontinuity - a bump - on the joint. But with this model you wouldn't since it's explicitly required to be the inverse number at 0 and at pi/2.

It’s simply true by definition that everyone who wants to alter zoning rules - no matter how - is telling other people what should be in their backyard. To suggest otherwise is intellectually dishonest. Your drive to change building rules mostly affects other people.

...but that’s also how our system of government works, so just own it already.

What the OP is pointing out is the doublespeak nature of “YIMBY” as a rallying cry. Just be honest about what you want: unless you truly only care about what you can do with your property, what you really want is for other people to stop fighting development in their backyard, too.

Trying to frame this as a drive for personal choice misses the point of the debate: the other side doesn’t care what you do in your backyard, but they sure as hell don’t want it affecting theirs.

(Nothing I’m saying here is advocating for a side in this argument. If you’re downvoting me reflexively because you think I’m being “NIMBY”, you’re blinded by ideology.)

IIRC, the cockpit voice recording included a comment from one of the co-pilots about how pulling back on the yoke couldn't cause a stall. The assumption was that the Airbus's fly-by-wire system would prevent it and ensure the aircraft still climbed as long as the pilot held back on the stick.

The co-pilot apparently didn't realize that the sensor issue that disabled the autopilot also disabled the stall prevention. And that's despite an audible "STALL" warning being repeated in the background.

The captain was not in the cockpit when the whole situation started, but as he re-entered the cockpit during the stall he saw one of the co-pilots holding back on the yoke and told him to push the yoke forward to prevent the stall. The co-pilot followed the instructions, but only for a few seconds before pulling the yoke back again.

All of this is to say if the plane hadn't been known to ignore user inputs in most situations, the co-pilot might not have assumed the Airbus would do the right thing and climb no matter what when pulling back on the yoke. So in a sense, never ignoring user inputs might have also saved Air France 447.
