Yes, provided that the reasons of the actual issue are essentially linked to:

1) delegation from FAA to "Boeing internal"

2) poor communication during the design and/or poor review of the decisions made in earlier stages

3) the deliberate taking of shortcuts (changing the amount of correction the MCAS without documenting it or re-running proper tests/verifications)

4) the use of this or that verbal/lexical workaround to avoid a re-certification of the plane, which essentially ended up in hiding info from the pilots

The problem is not limited to the specific issue, the above are IMHO clear signs of a (deviated) modus operandi from the company (but possibly also from the FAA), the same mis-management may have caused (or may not, but there is no way to know) tens of other potential issues that by sheer luck have not caused any accident to date (or have not yet been noticed because they only happen in corner cases).

Previous (historical) recalls and modifications to Boeing airplanes (often mandated - after an accident - on the basis of NTSB reports) were - AFAICR/AFAIK - mistakes "in good faith", this one seems like the result of a general lowering of the processes.
There will surely be people who pay a lot more tax than they receive in UBI. The key thing is not to build an elaborate gameable system to decide who should be eligible for UBI and what it may be used for.
Pretty good summary aside from the last part. I'm gonna stay away from fancy and cool tech unless it can help me solve a problem I'm working on. That's pretty much what I've always done but then I had a moment of weakness in front of the machine learning hype train.
Could you clarify one thing: if a thread has already reached the frontpage (and is in a position where it should only continue to gain popularity rather than disappear, e.g. 50 upvotes in 20 minutes), does mass flagging the thread have any influence on its score? Because from outside observations it surely seems like it does, especially when you take into consideration that I’ve on several occasions seen a thread get knocked out, only for a moderator to push the thread back to the frontpage again.

I would also argue that by allowing users to resort to US whataboutism then these comments break multiple rules by introducing flamewars and engaging in political battles.. which, in my opinion, result in you failing to prevent (a) mind-numbing repetition, and (b) earth-scorching flamewars.

I’m also very curious about the logic behind down-weighting this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20336543. In my opinion, it’s very high quality journalism, with two journalists risking their lives to give unprecedented access to a region that’s been technologically cut off from the rest of the world. I also believe it’s the first time we saw what China did to the children of the families that had been sent to the camps.
The article talks about the corners of an image being less sharp than the center. That’s not spherical aberration; that’s off-axis aberration. Spherical aberration causes the image to be less sharp at larger apertures.

I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if this result helps indirectly with off-axis aberration, though — a closed-form solution to the spherical aberration problem may make it easier to optimize for lens shapes that minimize other aberrations.

Figuring out the Mikado method was one of the bigger shocks of my career. I thought I already knew all this stuff, and of course once I saw it I could explain it all. But knowing something is true and seeing it first hand can be a very different experience.

The simpler solution is often hard to see. We get attached to the wrong details or suffer sunk cost fallacies.

When you switch languages the cost of porting is higher, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that you end up with something much simpler. And if the target language attracted you because it makes some part of the problem simpler, that’s important but maybe not the dominant contributing factor to the experience.

this is so petty. to what extent is he living off of others? he lives in a mangey boat that he paid for. once in a while maybe he gets some medical care (though i doubt it's much because he's young). does every single penny that a person's life costs need to be reckoned and reconciled? do you know how much falls through the cracks for all of us because of frictions? how much you sometimes overpay for your fair share but also how much you underpay? it's insane to begrudge someone this kind of asceticism based on some kind of weird puritanical collectivism - despite what Arthur Jensen would have you believe the world is not yet a business (and neither is life).

> If you reject take backs they you aren't playing the most competitive version of your opponents.

Sure, in the moment, I'm not playing against my opponents best choices. But without take backs my opponent is developing the skill of thinking before acting, which makes him a stronger opponent overall.

We only allow take backs for:

1. Newbies. They don't know the rules, so we allow take backs during their learning phase, and also help them understand why the thing they did was non-optimal. This lets us play the game while also helping newcomers learn the rules and general strategies quickly.

2. Misplay. If another player does something not allowed in the game (e.g. plays out of turn) which changes a second players understanding of the current state of the game, we let the second player take back their move if they made it before we discovered the flub.

Let me summarize what I took away from the study you posted:

> One mechanism by which high dietary protein could induce bone loss may be related to the metabolic acid load engendered by such a diet. Meat and fish, which are high in sulfur-containing amino acids, generate appreciable fixed metabolic acid loads, whereas fruits and vegetables generate little acid and, in fact, may under certain circumstances generate more base than acid.

> Paradoxically, when fracture is the principal outcome, low protein intakes are associated with lower rates of fracture in most epidemiologic studies

My point about craving processed food high in table salt and sulfur-containing amino acids—which ought to be also high in protein—after an alkalizing high intensity training is still valid.
Only for the escape key. I don't find that there's any noticeable lag in practice.

Valve has very little reason to make a single player game. Why make hl3 while someone else can make a similar selling game and you taking 30% of it? A game like artifact is more appealing to them because it has a potential to become next hearthstone, which is much more profitable than a single player game that only sells once

Also hype around hl3 is too much, it will be below expectations no matter how much hard Valve tries.
Aspheric lenses are frequently molded and these molds are used to make vast quantities of precision lenses. We've been molding lenses in quantity since Kodak perfected the process in the 70's. Yes, grinding aspherical lenses is more costly (yet still possible,) but there are numerous applications for which molded lenses are entirely sufficient.

A weasel is a mammal of the genus Mustela of the family Mustelidae. Bitcoin Core team afaik consists of humans.

satoshi handed over maintenance to gavin, gavin handed over maintenance to wladimir, wladimir is a contributor since 2011 and still is the maintainer of the project. plenty of contributors from early days are still active or support bitcoin core team. very few agree with nonsense claimed by CSW. so who exactly do you mean when you say "original Bitcoin team"?

> to keep the blocksize low, the transaction fees high

you're claiming conspiracy with specific intention - do you have any proof or evidence of such conspiracy? what power over bitcoin network and specifically miners (who are free to mine on any bitcoin fork they consider "the real bitcoin") did they have?

> and get VC funding for their company that they would market by saying it was the 'people that were in charge of bitcoin'

you've decided to arbitrarily link two events for no good reason. this is something conspiracists often do. there were plenty of companies getting funded by VCs in cryptocurrency space during that time, why specifically that company matters more than others? what power over bitcoin do they have? few devs are contributors - so what? there are other companies that also have devs contributing to bitcoin core.

No. Plato wanted to present an idealised world ruled by philosophers like himself. He wanted to deny that this world was equivalent to the highly unpopular government that had been imposed on Athens by their nemesis Sparta. That is, he wished to deny that Critias, despite being educated in the manner Plato favored, was a true representative of that philosophy, since the result was so unpopular. This is a position taken by many ideologues, Marxist, capitalist or otherwise, who repudiate the failures of their system in practice - the system fails because it is not "real" Marxism, etc., which can remain forever perfect in theory. In reality it isn't difficult to see the outcome of Plato's philosophy (I am thinking mostly of The Republic) as playing out in real life exactly as the Thirty Tyrants did - a bunch of rich brats raised to think they were wise philosophers visiting their "wisdom" on a captive populace.

First, are all markets just markets?

Do market expectations align with an appropriate distribution of wealth to labour under conditions where the first is false or the second is true?

Some things are definitely not to the standard of the original (armrests) but the lumbar support and adjustments as well as the general fit are excellent for what I paid (~$200).

I had an armrest break and they sent me a new one the same day. And speaking to your request, they give you a 60 day trial.

I would buy another if I needed one. I spend 6+ hours in it regularly.

> Say the top 1% increase their proportion of wealth from 20% to 40% of the money supply. Since there's only a finite amount of stuff to buy (productivity), this means the rich can also buy a proportionally bigger amount of stuff.

yes, the money supply and real productivity are disconnected from each other, but it's hard to imagine such a huge change in control of the money supply over a period where real productivity is held constant.

> It's not entirely zero sum, some investments increase productivity and thus create actual wealth. Unfortunately investment in stocks and real estate don't increase productivity at all while rent-seeking only directs an ever increasing proportion of available wealth towards rich people.

if there are some investments that increase productivity, but they aren't stocks or real estate, what investments do increase productivity?
Conceivably, if 5G increased network capacity and lowered operating costs, Verizon could charge consumers less per GB. Usage costs are tied, at least somewhat, to their operating costs and their supply of network capacity.

And even if the cost were the same, why would you rather pay for a slow GB than a fast GB?

Why don't you switch to a company with an unlimited plan, if you don't like paying per GB? Sure, they'll throttle you after you use some number of GBs, but it's still probably a better alternative if you don't like paying per GB.
Technically yes, but the key difference is that those index funds are equally available to rich and poor, and the returns are the same for everyone (mostly).

Contrast that with the plethora of wealth-increasing opportunities that are not available without a large initial investment or the connections or power that comes with existing wealth.
i bet it's nothing but CSW's marketing trick. he's driving his diplomas in a cartwheel and bragging about publishing a thousand papers a year, but what is any of it worth? were they granted any of the patents they filed for? if i recall some filings were for things with obvious prior art like threshold signatures.

Mamá means mom, madre means mother. You use either depending on the context. (I'm only talking about the Mexican use)

Madre is used more often in phrases, such as "Madre de dios!", Or "La madre putria," or "Pinche tu madre", or it's used as a formal to refer to one's mother. It's similar in English, such as "On my mother's side", "Mother fucker", "Mother of God!", etc.

In Mexico, "tu madre" can be a general insult, probably shortened from "pinche tu madre", though in English we have a similar vulgar retort of "your mother". As a weird turn on the phrase, "de puta madre" is slang for a good thing.

I'm not aware of an association with brothels in Mexico, but certainly in some Latin American country it could have.

I agree overall, not a good overall comparison. I also kinda take issue with this statement in the Vue section "Also, since it's been created by a Chinese-American, some of the bug code solved may be written in Chinese."

I find that kind of comment superfluous and it doesn't matter to the usage or function of Vue. And to be honest, I discounted most of the article after reading that statement.

I use Vue and their documentation is solid and I haven't run into any issues with the wording etc anymore than I have with other frameworks. I am not against pointing out if documentation, code or issue details is confusing or worded poorly because the original content was written by someone who's first language isn't English, but this wasn't a fair statement for Vue IMO.

In the context of a photography site, brand mentions must be a hazard. The author has no problem name dropping an Ancient Greek, Newton, Leibniz, Huygens. Why not Nutella? Rather than increasing the cognitive gap between the auditor (us) and the subject (2000 year old problem), Nutella seems to take the shining brilliance of those luminaries down a notch and in line with the form of writing—a neutral density filter?

Unlike a lot of people on HN, I don't like Herman Miller Aeron that was a gift from my parents & brother for my birthday few years ago.
I find it to be very unforgettable to sit in it for a long time.
Depending on where you live, trying out an office chair for a while might be an option. I found a local office furniture store that sold Herman Miller (not a big box retailer, but one who sells to bigger companies), and was able to give them a credit card number and a drivers license and they let me borrow a few chairs to try out. I tried the Aeron for a week and then the Embody for a week. I ended up buying the Embody. I paid a little more than $500, I think it was more like $750. Totally worth it though, I expect to still be sitting in it in 20 years.

A note on the Aerons that lots of people have recommended: they come in three different sizes, something most people don’t realize since corporate buyers usually just buy the medium size. If your frame is larger or smaller than average (speaking of height here, not weight) then one of the other sizes might fit you better.

I can’t recommend the Embody enough though. I can sit in that chair for 10+ hours and not feel it. It’s an amazing chair.
