From what I hear, at least one of the carriers here that _was_ intending to fly them this year, has cancelled all the maintenance courses for them... They aren't going to be flying them until 2025 apparently, so all the engineers booked on courses to do maintenance for the 747MAX8 are getting re-booked for Airbus courses...

The reason people are outraged is that "don't use a single sensor to decide that the plane should perform an uncontrollable nose-dive" isn't the outcome of new learning. That wasn't competent airworthiness seventy years ago. It's a lesson the industry thought it had already internalized. We shouldn't applaud mistakes of the distant part being repeated recklessly as some kind of improvement.

> Are you writing code that is hand-tuned for codegen on one architecture, or which relies on custom assembly to meet basic performance requirements?

Actually, most modern dev stacks do exactly this. You typically have some core libraries or runtime that includes heavily optimized or even hand-assembled crypto primitives. Even bog-standard “mainstream” Java or .NET code calls into system libraries which use AES, GCM, or SHA-256-specific instructions for accelerating TLS.

TLS is in just about everything.

Has the thought not occurred to you that the distribution of employees often aggregates people according to the tasks they can safely be entrusted with?

In other words, education and opportunity can't correct for low-quality people.

Don't keep your blinders on. You had classmates in grade school that were fundamentally incompetent. No amount of teaching fixed them. They were meatheads in second grade and they were meatheads at graduation. Even now, as they live and breathe, they continue to live lives as meatheads.

That factory job was the only way civilization could use them, and make tools out of them. The menial nature of the job was crafted to suit them.

Now, we can make things to replace every single public school student, rather than forge standardized school systems to sort capable minds into a variety of buckets, and make what we can with what we have.

Children are not the future anymore. And the useless adults, the ones that unionize and strike, they can all go to hell. We don't need them to whittle toothpicks with dremels on the factory floor anymore.

We won't need teachers. We won't need pilots. We won't need bus drivers. We won't need firemen. Taken far enough, we won't need police or doctors. We won't have crime or illness, because we won't need humans.

The Boundary Waters Canoe Area has some of the same issues. Campsites inside an 'easy to get to' area are just stripped. Trees cut down, bark stripped off of trees, the fire pit seating hacked at, and food stuffs from washing on the shore.

Brendan Eich is a Catholic that is why he opposed same sex marriage.

That doesn't make him a homophobe, that makes him someone that opposes same sex marriage because of his religious beliefs.

People seem to constantly conflate opposition to Same Sex marriage with Homophobia. Sure I suspect that many homophobes are opposed to same sex marriage, but many libertarians are opposed to it because they don't believe Government should have anything to do with marriage that doesn't make them homophobes.

> A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state...

I just ask that if you oppose the right to bear militia-quality weapons, then you explain why the founders were wrong and prove how you know that such weapons are in fact not necessary to the security of a free state.

I mean, they’re the folks that founded the freest state that’s ever survived. Seeing as it’s the only part of the constitution-including later amendments- which includes such a section explaining their reasoning... I tend to believe them when they say such weapons are needed.
> That seems like a terrible idea because people forget why useful regulations were needed.

To me that seems to indicate that we need to keep a record of why laws are made, so that the case is simply ready to be made when the sun is due to set.
Hackers are using telecoms as ‘global spy system’: report
There's a 3rd reason: In my experience, tech employee turnover is often directly related to corporate/executive turnover. You can hire into the most forward-thinking, technology-valuing workplace and then find that a merger, acquisition or management purge transforms your company into a hide-bound, change-averse organization that suddenly sees research as an extravagance and development as a red-line expense counting against the bottom-line.

I've seen this devolution happen at least three times in my career at three different companies. In every case, it results in devaluation, then exploitation, then burnout of previously enthusiastic, talented developers who soon leave. Sadly (even if you are a staunch capitalist in the executive suite) this "streamlining" almost always proves misguided as the company inevitably loses all technical credibility, innovation stalls and it loses any competitive edge it might have had along with market share.
Sony WH1000XM3 for great ~$400 noise cancelling cans. I feel like I'm in a different universe with them on.

You have to be careful with some of these big brand names. They tend to make a mix of good product and stuff that is sold at a higher price point with sexy marketing, but you're just paying 4x as much for the same audio quality as a $50 pair.

I've been tempted by wireless headphones, but I would personally stick with wired. Not a fan of noise cancelling. Depending on your budget, my brand choice from low to high would be Sennheiser > Grado > ZMF.

Of course it’s that simple. Don’t let ads run JS. Done.

You’re saying that doing this would drastically decrease ad revenue. Which is what I’m saying too: it’s about money, not necessity.

Would a site like SO be unable to survive without ads that run arbitrary JS? I don’t know. Even if the answer is that they must do this to survive, it’s still insane that content companies let randos inject arbitrary code into their pages. If this is so entrenched in the industry that there’s no way around it, that just means the industry is insane.
Yep if conservatives think they are the only ones supporting gun rights, they should think again.

What is happening at the NRA brings to mind what Steve Jobs said to Rupert Murdoch:

"The axis today is not liberal and conservative, the axis is constructive-destructive, and you’ve cast your lot with the destructive people."

In that little story with Rupert Murdoch, Steve was talking about Fox News, with so-called "conservatives" being the destructive people. It makes a lot of sense if you look at the issues.

My take on this NRA thing (more simple than any conspiracy theory) is that when you get a bunch of destructive, self-interested people together in an organization, it's no surprise that things are going to get ugly.

Huh, this is new to me. I thought it was simply that two sensors failed, and their failed values outvoted the correct value in the quorum vote with the third sensor. What's the mystery about?

That depends a bit on the "engine problem".

This is, to my layman's understanding, could be considered an "engine problem" because how the newer more fuel efficient engines with their bigger bypass fans don't fit under the wings of the 737. That's not an engine manufacturers problem.

(It makes more sense to classify it as an airframe design compromise problem, but it's about those big fat geared turbofans not working with the little landing gear legs which let them get the doors down nice and low, but put the wings too close to the ground to fit the more modern engines.)

> That's not what she said, she said "Trump situation", and by situation, one would assume, the massive abuse of social platforms to spread false and misleading data about Clinton, which we know from scientific studies, that false stories were reshared far more by Trump supporters than vice versa, and that a non-trivial chunk of these fake gifs came from overseas.

1) Can you please cite those "scientific studies"?

2) Even if what you said is true. I am not sure how much it has anything to do with Google. Most of influences happened on Facebook or other social media platforms. How can Google prevent things from happening again on Facebook?
What supporting infrastructure would have to change? Jetways are compatible across a wide variety of planes. Yes, you can't use the same jetway on an A380 as a 737 (the A380 is just way too big), but you certainly can use the same jetway on a 737 as on an A320, and many other planes besides.

The reason they didn't want to do a clean sheet redesign of the 737 was to avoid pilot recertification, not because of ground infrastructure. Airports are already used to servicing dozens of different types of planes. Adding one more to the mix wouldn't materially change anything.
> I didn't actually get that much value from yt recommendations.

The last rec engine I got much value out of was early Netflix, around the first public competition to improve their engine.

My nightmare is that corporations suddenly realized that recommendation engines don't actually help them sell content. Maybe it's easier to persuade tons of people to watch something they'll all think is "good enough" rather than to identify or develop content some tiny subgroup of people will think is sublime.
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if this was an issue somebody knew about but with the recent attention they're forced to disclose it before somebody else discovers it.
Inverting the Turing Test – Machine Learning to Detect Cognition in the ICU
Absolutely true. It's future work to train our Gibbon/LoCal compiler to generate code operating over more interesting, existing binary formats (CBOR, Avro, CapNP...), some of which are a better fit than others. Or for text formats we could focus on writing high-performance parsers and fusing them with recursive functions that consume the result. Lots more to do here.
My early-2000's Apple DVI displays support software brightness controls. Is that some proprietary feature that still hasn't been added to the general protocols?
Basic rudimentary 'stick and rudder' flying skills was a big factor in AF447's crash. All old school pilots know that when you aircraft is in a nose high stall condition, you never keep pulling back on the stick, but instead push it forwards to lower the nose and get the wings flying again.

The fact that the co-pilot in question kept holding the stick to the back stops was the main reason that the aircraft wallowed into the sea. Weirdly, he did let go of the stick for a brief few seconds, which was the only time during the harrowing descent that the aircraft started to behave normally, but then he pulled it back and held it back right up until impact.

Yep, the aircraft could have ignored these inputs, but the inputs are counter to what any reasonably skilled pilot would have done. (Note: Different to the MAX crashes where pulling back on the stick under speed IS the accepted way to stop a descent.)

Thanks for your several thoughtful replies.

I'm certainly engaged with my medical professionals. I see about 7 docs routinely! Saw my primary care physician just this morning. I'm more engaged now that I'm married (nearly 2 years now), before I mostly grin and bared it.

I also have a genetic condition that affects my liver, but thankfully so far, it's just a monitor it quarterly or so.

For, me, at only 38, my cervical and thoracic arthritis has been my greatest challenge. My genetic condition doesnt cause me problems day to day, and can be easily managed with diet, and if need be, scheduled phlebotomy.

The arthritis, I cannot control. Most meds dont work, and the ones that do put pressure on my liver. Opiates wouldn't even really help me, I think, because I dont think they help with nerve pain which is about 95% of my problem. I have a sufficient pain tolerance I can ignore a constant burning sensation along my spine. I cannot ignore the very sharp shooting nerve pain I get that travels down an entire side of my body.

I can cope with that to an extent when it's constant. Where it really gets bad is when I get random sharp stabbing pains in my arms and legs. Bad enough I've bruised my knees hitting them against my desk from reflex.

Like I said, I'm working with my various docs to manage things, but its tough.
Medically, I see:
Primary care
Gastroenterologist (also his nurse practitioner)
Hematologist
Neurologist
Orthopedist

Point is: I'm trying to make things better, but what a lot of what afflicts me cannot be made better, and has to be managed, and I'm trying. Not always succeeding, but trying.
I personally immensely enjoy my 27" 4K monitor at 1:1 scaling. I finally can have my entire field of view filled with letters the size of a typical book / newspaper font, with smooth shapes.

I frankly do not understand the idea of having a huge monitor far away from eyes, so that the angular dimensions of elements on it are the same as on a smaller screen at a book-reading distance. Well, maybe it's easier for some people to focus at a longer distance — but then more people would hold their phones at the stretched arm's length, not 1.5ft away.

Well, if you have a big document collection or something, the faster you can process each individual document the more you can scale, right?

I guess I'm not sure what scalability would mean here other than speeding up that individual, sequential processing job on one node (e.g. the map step in a MapReduce).
Money is a necessity, that's how SO exists, and it wouldn't sustain its current size if it required JS-free network campaigns or tried to sell all ad space directly.

Simple doesn't mean it's easy or realistic. Yes, adtech has major problems but they're being slowly worked on and won't change overnight. This applies to any other industry where you think can just walk in and solve everything if everyone just did X. Reality doesn't work that way.
What seems to have happened is that the system was originally designed with more conservative parameters. Testing showed that these parameters were insufficient to prevent a stall so they "turned it up to 11", and didn't re-evaluate the original design.

For me it's not about pressure, I run an ad-blocker anyways. Youtube is one of the services I use the most in my every day life, and considering the amount of value I get out of it, giving 10$ back is the least I can do in my mind. I find that many people take online services for granted these days, and don't take a step back to look at how much value these services bring them. I get 50+ hours of entertainment per month out of Youtube, if that's not worth 10$, then I don't know what is.
By paying the Apple tax for a developer license and then just... signing your code every time you compile it?

You really think after selling computers for 43 years Apple is not going to allow people to compile programs without signing every time you compile?

How do you propose they are going to lock down scripting languages and programs built with .Net Cord and Java? Are they going to disallow any code on the Mac that’s built on top of a VM?

The financial motive is the glaringly obvious walled garden! It's the vendor's control over the device you purchased!

So are they now going to lock down outside vendors from creating whatever the new equivalent of kext are without paying a fee?

bad faith interpretation of what I said previously. There are ways to ensure user security that don't remove control of the system from the end user.
