"Holding ALT to scroll faster is cheating and not allowed."
This is interesting, since ALT + scrollwheel on Firefox is supposed to move forward and backward in your page history, but in the terms and conditions, it helps you scroll at normal speed.
It's not just the checklist: the experience of MCAS-induced trim runaway is significantly different from that which NG pilots are trained for, to the point where additional training seems necessary. Boeing set up the conditions for an accident by first hiding, and then downplaying, those differences, apparently to avoid additional training being required.

I have seen some suggestions that this was also the reason for not having MCAS compare the two AofA sources to detect a fault, as the fault would have to be reported, and the documentation of that indicator would reveal the existence of MCAS.
The trick is to select everything.
> But if the US government bails out Boeing, should countries around the world also impose business destroying duties of 300% on Boeing because of the unfair government support?

It’s not a question of fairness but of self-interest. If it’s in those countries’ best interest (accounting for things like soured international relationships and whathaveyou) then the answer is “yes”.
I like the chat help interface. It's almost as good as Asus', which I had the misfortune to be trying to use yesterday.

https://www.asus.com/uk/

It's genius. It's got a little "online services" icon with a friendly smiley face with a microphone and headphones.

You click on it, expecting an interactive chat but what you actually get is a photo of someone smiling hugely with headphones on and a laptop open, and a sidebar where you can search their inadequate help documents.

I'm glad it's a parody or it would be really insulting.
The bit about the swappable pen tip picked my interest, cool feature! As an avid believer that pen input is the most flexible way to express your thought process, I find it a bit of a lost art though, people born in the new millennium just wont spend the time to learn to write cursive. I went through most of the Note generation from Samsung and the SPen is getting really close to the look and feel of writing on paper. There's a Google hand writing keyboard for Android that is really good, in fact I am writing this using it.
Still, it looks like it will continue to be a niche functionality at best.
Same here with the Macbook Pro 2012. I upgraded its SSD cheaply using a mSATA adapter, something that's not possible with more recent models.

I don't see how this lack of upgradability meets the needs of "Pro" users.

Boeing: Out-Sourced Profits – The Cornerstone of Successful Subcontracting [pdf]
In my humble opinion, in a nutshell:

There is no such thing as consciousness, i.e. a mechanism that defines consiousness.

There is only a simulation process inside organisms that tries to mimic reality in order to predict the outcome of the current situation and subsequently produce a 'get away'-oriented or 'stay'-oriented response.

This simulation process' complexity is relative to the complexity of the organism.

The more complex the simulation is, the clearer the definition of objects in it is.

The clearer the definition of objects is, the clearer the definition of self is.

The clearer the definition of self is the higher the degree of 'consciousness' is.

I.e. consciousness can be defined as the ability of something to perceive itself.

With that definition, it is clear that that ability of self-perception changes from organism to organism.

Thus plants have a low ability to perceive themselves, and humans have the highest.

If we are searching for the mechanism of consciousness, we will never find it, because it doesn't exist: consciousness is an emergent phenomenon that arises from the operations of an organism.

> It is another step from collectivism where everyone is paying for their own icecream to the next level of individualism.

Eh, do you have that backwards? Wouldn't we classify "everyone paying their own" as individualistic?

On a side note, we've always had "influencers." They were the celebrities that appeared on ads. This is just the internet-enabled, more granular manifestation of that phenomenon.
I think you are confusing sales with people liking the new design. People that have bought into the ecosystem may buy the new design even though they prefer the previous iteration.
Deletion Without Rebalancing in Binary Search Trees [pdf]
Having used the 2018 MacBook Air for about 3 months now, I can say I really detest it and I would return it if that were possible.

1) the keyboard. This thing really feels like slamming your fingers into a metal slab. I think my iPad Pro keyboard is better. The MacBook Air keyboard is also very loud. For something with so little depth the sound is shocking.

2) the webcam. Total garbage. In a laptop this expensive I think this is inexcusable. my old ipad has a significantly better camera for video calls so I’m not carrying around both. Ridiculous.

3) the new charger is so much worse than I could have expected. The lack of MagSafe I knew about, thought it would be ok. Really a big loss. There’s also something wrong with the cable. It’s constantly getting kinks/twists in the wiring which I can’t straighten out, even though I baby it.

If they release a new MacBook Air this year I’ll definitely feel a bit betrayed. Like they knowingly released something that was a stop-gap PoS.
Looks like some mod already did that.

Great ! now rest of the world can't understand.
I was on board with a company trying to make a new type of keyboard switch in 2017. The venture folded, but I'd say not for technical reasons.

They used a parallelogram mechanism in addition to a spring to provide quadratic easing in force feedback.

Nobody tried the same scheme since then as I know.

I interpreted “they” in the second one as implying distance from the person in question, like the speaker wants nothing to do with them and is emphasising that they were a stranger. Possibly part of why saying “they” feels uncomfortable to people, but I’d never realised it until reading that example.
Personally, I think this is gross. So I should be excluded from a leadership position because I have a penis? Yuck.

Does the Subaru have any beeping misfeatures other than the radio thing? Our Civic FK/FH is quite considerate about beeping, it only beeps twice like a bell if you don't have your seatbelt on and then shows a red pictogram on the dashboard, unlike Toyotas and Peugeot which are very annoying, or VW which beeps like a bomb is about to go off for virtually any dashboard notification deemed important by the manufacturer, like when your windscreen wiping fluid is low.

The UK's carbon taxes are doing quite well and don't seem to have caused too much upset in spite of the coal industry being nuked (https://qz.com/1192753/a-carbon-tax-killed-coal-in-the-uk-na...)

Energy company execs obviously don't want to go bust but are probably happy building solar farms rather than oil wells if that's what pays best.
My electricity, gas, water etc all come from 3rd-party providers and work just fine. Probably because they're all heavily regulated.

>I don't think that guy is denying anything. He's merely stating that the earth has gone through drastic changes _many_ times in the past.

Bringing with them tons of changes to the climate, the kind which would kill billions from famines, floods, tornadoes, heat, lack of potable water, etc, in our hugely populated modern world.

>What makes this change the final one before earth is incapable of sustaining life?

We don't merely want an Earth "capable of sustaining life". We want an Earth capable of sustaining us, the whole 8 billions, and not a hellhole of environmental disaster, famine, decertification, and so on.

I could not give less fucks if cockroaches and wolves, e.g. survive, but billions of people are wiped out...
I'm in the former camp and I don't really know a lot of people that own Apple products that actually have anything positive to say about either the keyboard or the touchbar. So the other camp is probably pretty small. I know a disturbingly large number of people that already had keyboard replacement (multiple in several cases) and the only reason I haven't gone in myself yet is that not having a laptop for a week plus is very inconvenient so I've been living with a flaky command key for a while now.

So, good riddance. What took them so long?

> What are they best in class for?

Best overall balance between performance/weight/battery life.

Best trackpad, hands down, no caveats, no balancing against other concerns. It's just that good.

Best integration with other devices (iphone, watch, etc). Making calls/sending text messages from a laptop is something I'm unwilling to give up at this point.

And most importantly, it's _by far_ the best support for a commercial unix/unix-like OS on a laptop. Dell isn't too bad though.

In the end, unix or a unix-like os is hard requirement for many of us, and I'm just too tired of fiddling with xorg/powertop to get decent battery life. I just want to get work done.

I wouldn't care if you propose developing the GUI separately (basically for wrapping any CLI, you could develop a generic wrapper, reading in declarative configs...), but the kind of execution demonstrated here is probably necessiting the installation of 1 GB of electron-crap (say hello to the reusing world of require('shebang-regex'))
What’s interesting too is the court could have concluded their reasoning with this four-factor analysis but then the ruling would most certainly be limited to Pennsylvania. So while they explicitly said they aren’t making the determination for marketplaces other than Amazon they do go through the effort in Section B (page 21) to lay out additional rationale/legal justification that brings Amazon’s actions within the meaning of “seller” in other jurisdictions as well.

I mean, corporations have the worst track record. A great number of governments managed to stay non-evil for centuries, even the ones that dipped their toes in censorship.

Honestly if it were my government (the Dutch one, which is okay, but also definitely not perfect) versus any random corporation, even one that has so far only displayed good and well-intentioned behaviour, benevolent even. Remember Google in the early 2000s? Yeah.

To turn from something so good, such a positive outlook on the future, idealism, etc, in less than two decades into the this global market dominating, employee mistreating, faceless, evil .. Moloch thing.

This can of course also happen to governments, but if you look at history, it's the exception. Whereas with capitalism and corporations, it seems to be the fucking rule. You just have to wait which ones grow big enough to just go completely predator on humankind.

Sure, as long as that other thing knew not to treat the file as a zip, or had a mechanism to skip over or blank out the first chunk of the file.

I wonder how Windows Defender would treat something that looked like a self-extracting archive? Perhaps the archive portion could be this zip bomb affair, but the executable portion had a small change in it to bypass that and do something else nefarious instead, eg hand execution control to a point later in the file.

The same could be said about MySQL - but even that switched to entering a root password and disallowing root login, as well as not binding to any network interfaces until explicitly configured to do so. Of course this can all be overridden with simple config changes but it's relatively "secure by default".

I'm currently building a prototype house that runs on renewable energy, grows its own food, and at small scales should pay their own mortgage.

All in all the house is sustainable, but it also needs to provide something that makes it a must have over a normal house. In the end I think we need to work on both ends for sustainable technology. One end of educating people that we need to be better. And on the other making things that use sustainable technology, but are also better than competing products on more than just being sustainable.

Note: The house design wasn't conceived for sustainability, but as a basic income achieved through tech instead of taxation. Sustainability was an important aspect to make that possible.

It's remarkable to track 26k requests. That's non-trivial. Especially with the ability to drill down to a single feature request.

cognitive dissonance

In terms of touch bar - it's mixed. I really miss the physical escape key ( but then I'm an emacs user ), but quite like the context dependence of the rest - as day to day escape is the only one that's really memory mapped.

So can't we have a physical escape key and the rest be touch bar?
I totally disagree.

For the most part, if I don't "do what YouTube/Google wants", then I'll just not use their products. If they want to "censor" me by not allowing me to post certain content, then I can put that content elsewhere.

On the other hand, if my government decides to censor me, they can force me to be quiet, either by monetary threats or physical threats. This is obviously much more of a deterrence.

> For corporations it seems utterly inevitable; they either grow and become evil, or they don't grow and die. Which happens over the span of one or two decades at the most.

Not really? Most corporations are not "evil", even if you choose to personify the corporation, which I think is a mistake.
