Last time I did 'HR' training. They told us all about how to judge people.

You can't hire someone who doesn't have a firm handshake.

You can't hire someone with typos on their resume.

You must have that university degree right.

You can't hire someone who is a convict.

You can't hire old people.

So after HR has already eliminated all these people. They are left with the bottom of the barrel people who are apparently superman with no character flaws.

Then we wonder why we can't seem to hire anyone.
Two things I like that corvids do, demonstrating intelligence but most importantly demonstrating _our_ type of intelligence rather than the more alien intelligence of something like an octopus:

1. Messing about, e.g. young bird finds an object which slides on an ice-covered roof. Hops on, rides the object down, and then crucially, it picks the object up and flies to the top to do it again. What for? Not for anything, this is clearly fun to do.

2. Tormenting small dogs. Small "yappy" dogs are awful. I'd feel bad about tormenting one though. But crows don't feel bad, good for them. Dogs are often left on a lead tied to something, the lead has a specific length and a crow can see that this limits the dog's reach, so it will taunt the dog or even attack it, then fly just barely out of reach, knowing the lead will restrain the dog to its further annoyance.
Yeah I pretty much don’t need my 4Runner to have touch controls.

* Viability/resilience of the server which keeps comments.

* Under which jurisdiction it is hosted?

* If it depends on a domain name who owns it?

* Can a commenter be traced, and by whom?

* Can anybody (including original author) edit comments?
I would prefer that Boeing be put out of business, rather than "learning a lot from this process". I think that the word "unfortunate" is too conservative to cover this situation.

A corporation is not a person and punishment isn't always the answer, but we are looking at a lot of deaths and this new issue sounds like it could have caused even more. If the FAA had missed this one we could have been looking at another crash. Maybe putting Boeing out of business would serve as a cautionary tale to the remaining companies in this space that they should be making more conservative choices when it comes to development of a product that has the potential to injure or kill such a large number of people.

As it is, I'm not sure what the moral of this story is for Boeing. Is it that the company is "too big to fail"? It is that they need to tough out the bad press to really be successful?

I worry that maybe it's something along the lines of "you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelette."
Because they're still doing important work, and deserve to have nice things? Why does working at a non profit mean that you should have a bad quality of life?

You don't have to support them, but if their product provides value to you, it's worth considering
Uh, there was already an XML format for this, I remember doing my CV with it. Nobody ever asked to see it or use it, so I stopped updating it. I learnt a few years later that some HR/recruiter systems do use it, behind the scenes, to talk to each other, they just never surface it.

Why would this surface more often...? The HR industry is not made by coders, they live in MSWord and GDocs.
thanks for pointing that out ... such a keen observation and great attention to details ... :))

Free Sales Training Lesson – The Digital Sales Institute
The problem is who we have as authority figures. Teachers and school administrators are people who took easier coursework than say a biologist or a computer scientist and then got a government job. That pathway isn't like most of employment and frankly most of the teachers I had wouldn't be able to hack it in a private company.

All throughout high school I was told that I would be unable to become a software dev without college. I dropped out of high school, work as a software dev and make more per year than any of the people who said I wouldn't be able to do that. They simply aren't the kind of people to ask if you are planning a career that isn't in unionized government work, most of them have never done anything else.
What is master data management?
I would say times have changed at Boeing, because it seems for the MAX, rather than sorting their shit out they instead seem to prefer covering up their design faults.

They also seem to have a bad habit of blaming the dead pilots for not being able to fly they broken planes.

Sure, but let's think about it. The average person didn't receive much schooling, and if they did it would have probably been on more practical matters.

It's quite possible that the average person could very likely never have even been exposed to the question of whether the earth is flat or not.
Nationless doesn't really exist in this case, whether they like it or not Facebook is still regulated by national laws of the jurisdiction they are incorporated in. As you are seeing now with US regulators considering stepping in.

If they were supporting crypto they'd work with one of the x000 existing crypto currencies. Not sure they are adding any value by creating Libra aside for gaining control. And that ultimately is what bothers me.

> And compares against H.264 which says it all

They compared against HEVC as well. To quote the article: "This means that we can substantially raise quality, while saving bits, all with a very usable CPU footprint. We have found that the real-world compression/speed trade-offs for AV1 are in fact excellent, and better than HEVC."

And the business problem with HEVC is: "HEVC (aka H.265) comes with unacceptable patent cost, risk and uncertainty."
... yes it exist ... i can confirm ... it got there by mistake ...
This all points up the glaring conflicts of interest in the corporate business environment. Most of us think that Boeing is the business of building airplanes, but as a publicly traded company, its real business is making money for its shareholders, and aerospace is just a vehicle toward that end. The Boeing CEO's steadfast refusal to take responsibility for these two crashes are nothing more than CYA designed to limit or defer financial responsibility for >300 deaths and protect and privilege shareholder value above the safety and well-being of the flying public.

This is the kind of thing that drove me away from frontend development a few years back. I explicitly ignored the learn-the-javascript-framework-du-jour attitudes.

On a project where I was doing frontend work, I just tried to think about the semantics of html elements and http requests, and reason my way through the tasks from first principles. I really enjoyed doing that actually, and don't regret it. But it didn't teach me angular which is what the frontend people at that company were using at the time, or probably any of the other ones.

I hope to venture into frontend land again, because I think it's a valuable skillset, but I hope the next time I do things will have settled into something a bit more sane. When I find a layer of a technology stack that seems to have been misused or misunderstood, my tendency has been to stop at that point and dive into a rabbit hole trying to understand what is going wrong and how to fix it.

When I got started in IT in the mid-90's, it was working for an accountancy office. Lotus 1-2-3 was absolutely the main tool that was used.

The move to Excel happened, due to the simple fact that with every Gateway PC we bought as we upgraded from DOS based machines to Windows 95 ones, they were giving away Office Pro for free.

The love of free (as in beer) software was enough to move people from 1-2-3 to Excel, even though Excel wasn't as good or as stable back then.
Yeah, it dances around the corners. Pun aside, signal reflections are the main reasons not to do it in high bandwidth circuits. Other circuits may have different reasons.

I'm surprised about the hand-wavy way of ignoring a very well understood phenomenon.
When I was brought onto the project, he made sure I was OK with working on patent-encumbered designs & possibly closed-source code, specifically because of his experience with the GZZ developer. It's a misunderstanding he learned from.
Yeah, I suppose it would be better to just let the tokens pile up in the wallet, the better to later inventivize adoption later.

Except that the original (classical) pronounciation is not a (pharyngealized voiced alveolar stop), but a (pharyngealized voiced lateral fricative), which sounds very close to (ظ), and explains why many Arabs merged the two sounds together. The alveolar stop is a new letter, and seems to have come out of Egypt because they had a hard time pronouncing the original latter. See this video about how to correctly pronounce it: https://youtu.be/U0qr9XxJges?t=99
That seems unlikely as in most (all?) cases those are discriminatory policies and quite illegal.

The article states that the museum is in a town of a little over 4,000 people. My guess is there was simply never the right combination of interest, knowledge, and resources available.
"Your really over qualified for the job..." I heard that for the first time my last job search. It's so tempting to say back: "So...What dpes that mean? I would do the job too well?"

Age-bias and Agism is real, especially on a job hunt. We have come so far as a society in chipping away at all the various types of discrimination - this one may be one of the last to (hopefully) fall.

I am just adding this for those who can relate.

Here's the kicker: In my early 60's I am better at my job (IT Program/Project Management) than ever. I want to retire at 90 (or never). I understand people better, know more than ever, embrace what's new, know and am certified on the newer ideas and methodologies, I am better at working with a wide variety of people and teams than my peers. Plus, I have far more stamina and energy than people 25 years younger (not a small thing in IT). I even have 2 teenagers (keeps you moving).

All I can do is do it better, possibly start my own company (but I'm actually a much better #2 than an owner.) And hope people get smarter about it. But building awareness (like this thread) can't hurt. Look at how the other discriminated groups have challenged everyone else to question their prejudice.
> Value of dollar now in comparison to 70s and 80s decreased.

In comparison to what, exactly? Compared to another currency? Compared to itself?

If another currency, then great! We can sell them more stuff because our stuff is cheaper then their own stuff.

If compared to itself: so what? Inflation is a stated policy of the Federal Reserve. My dollars may be worth less, but I make more. This isn't a problem unless you issue loans and failed to charge enough interest.

It took three generations of flight training for checklists to become an essential part of aviation.

Note that a flight-training generation is less than a human reproductive generation; it's the time from first lesson taken to first lesson taught (plus some). It had to wait for the older instructors to retire.

We are still in transition, in medicine. Many physicians have not yet cottoned to hand-washing, yet.
The problem with the airframe is that the shape of the nacelles, and their forward position create extra lifting surface in front of the center of gravity at high AoA.

What this results in, is a non-compliant stick force response curve at high AoA. This violates FAA regulations which state that the stick force required to bring a plane to a stall must consistently increase all the way to the stall. No sickening or decreases in apparent required stick force are certifiable as airworthy for Civil Transport Aircraft.

This was explained in a recent Seattle Times Article. I also posted it here as a theory back in March abouts.

[1]https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/times-watchdog/the...

[2]https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19568158

[3]relevant FAR 25.173, see stick force requirements

MCAS was designed to artificially induce a mistrim which has the end result of smoothing out that force curve. Initially it was only for high-speed, high-G, but was eventually loosened to accommodate the same behavior happening at a low speed low G part of the flight envelope.

This is a hack in the truest sense of the word, because you'll notice the regs indicate the plane having to be within a certain point of appropriate trim; except in those flight regimes, the trim is artificially massaged from what the pilot set it to, to what MCAS thinks it should be, which is determined by the input of only a single AoA sensor.

In short, the airframe is aerodynamically flawed in some of the most fundamental ways known to the aviation community. It can work; given a correct MCAS system. There was no excuse, however, to hide this from both regulators and pilots.

Hope that explains things.

I would rather say that market economies finds the most efficient way to produce a thing.

Capitalism finds the most efficient way to extract rent from that process.

One way to evolve society would be to find out how to leverage market economies for efficiency without having all that rent extraction ending up in the hands of a small elite.

Imagine an economy where competition for efficiency is based on actual contributions and cooperation and not on anti-social behavior like guarding trade secrets and patents, or other hostile attempts at securing a market share

Instead of going with an ad-hoc schema, I wish JSON Resume built on top of data structures standardized by Schema.org. They cover most of the concepts required—https://schema.org/Person, https://schema.org/skills, https://pending.schema.org/knowsAbout, the list goes on.

For concepts not covered by Schema.org (I spotted only one, “interests”) the project could implement custom extensions until they are adopted by the shared vocabulary.
Yes this app can also be used as P2P shopping, local job discovery and food delivery ...

Because government has to account for taxes in e-commerce ... so a lot depends on local government and what it allows !!!

The Airbus does average the inputs if both pilots are making inputs at the same time.
It's not reasonable to expect every individual to have the time, resources or expertise to personally run a full chemical analysis on every dose of vaccine or medicine that enters their body.

So... you don't. You don't verify it, because you can't. You can't verify all of science from first principles. You can't inspect every building you enter and verify that it meets code. You can't inspect every electronic device for NSA taps. You can't inspect all of your food, drinking water, or even all of the FOSS code you use. Society is too large, and the domains of knowledge and expertise that feed into it are too complex for any individual to fully comprehend.

You can't eliminate risk or trust from life. As far as vaccines go, you just have to trust that they work and are not likely to be poison and take the shot.
The reason it isn't killing that 7nm interconnect is that those semiconductor physical implementation designers run lots of EM simulations to determine the reliability and lifetime of all traces, taking into account the trace dimensions, electrical properties and the expected current flows and the design is only signed off when those metrics meet or exceed the design requirements.
Note also that specialized metals (tungsten, ruthenium) are used on really fine lower level traces of advanced nodes, due both to their resistance to EM as well their better compatibility with silicon (smaller passivation thickness).
Does it matter? Routing text is a solved problem and not particularly hard at any scale.

The interesting parts for any potential implementation only pertain to things like workflow, integrations to existing applications and services and regulatory requirements (export, backup etc) - from that end, Erlang is not a great option.

A "going out of business" sale sign indicates they are eager to move their inventory, potentially even at cost, to avoid additional storage, transportation, disposal fees, etc.

If it's truly going out of business, that's leverage for the buyer, precisely because while you can simply choose to shop elsewhere, the number of available buyers is finite and approaching zero.

So if the "price isn't good" you can negotiate, whereas at a healthy business there ought to be no negotiating.
Prior to WWI Americans typically self-identified among their ancestral lineage like Irish-American, German-American, Italian-American. It took a war and the associated shared trauma and government propaganda machine to start developing a distinct "American" nationality and more unity which developed into a much stronger nativist agenda.

my ideal internet would be more like a set of concentric rings per user, a ring would represent different preferences, filters, and data, i could choose to include certain users access to parts of my rings, and i could access other parts of other user's rings. obviously there should be an open ring that every user can access which would need a search engine run by a company or set of companies, this would be like today's internet, but that would not be the same ring, i could switch between rings with ease. i think this maybe somewhat what tim berners lee is doing with the decentralized web, or perhaps bits of dark net interwoven with the internet.

an example use case would be like a set of apps that my family could use for photo sharing, messaging, sending data, links to websites, etc. perhaps another set of apps for my friends, another for my company, or school. the protocols would not require public infrastructure, dns, etc. perhaps tethering of devices would be enough. there would be a need for indexing and search, email, etc.

I still don’t see how this is 20x faster, the UI is a little better than traditional Google Ads creator, but isn’t downloading and editing an already put together campaign much faster than this?

> My instinct is that you're probably correct, and most planes are probably riddled with similar problems and would look bad if they came under the same scrutiny as the 737 Max is currently under.

0.5% of all 737 MAXes which exist have killed everyone on board. No other mass market production airliner in recent history has that sort of record, AFAIK.
I watched a bunch of crows surrounding a swan. Whenever the swan went after one of them, another crow would pick the swan in the butt. Swan would turn around and another crow would pick at the swan from behind. This went on for a few minutes and then the crowd left. My only explanation was that they enjoyed messing with the swan for fun.
