>Knowing about it doesn't help. They crash anyway. That's why there's a yaw damper as required equipment.

They don't do it not knowing about and having experienced Dutch Roll, however, with a check pilot. We train for the unexpected, use technology as best we can to mitigate, and just have to have faith that after a certain point we've told the pilot everything they need to know, and leave them to do their thing. Regardless of whether Dutch roll has killed someone or not they knew about Dutch roll going into it. They knew yaw dampers were a thing. They knew how and when yaw dampers were active and why. Not so with MCAS.

>The flight before the Lion Air crash had an MCAS failure, too, and the pilots simply switched off the stab trim and they landed safely. They did't know about MCAS, either.

Walter, c'mon man. We've been through this before.

The penultimate Lion Air flight had 3 pilots, one with the luxury of paying attention to anything the other two actually flying the plane weren't; None of them knew what was going on, and to be frank, Getting it right for the wrong reasons just sets the stage for more disaster later. You can also look at the documentation regarding stabilizer runaway, and it is specifically described as a continuous uncommanded trim actuation.

MCAS isn't continuous, it's discrete. On for 10 seconds, off for five. While the procedures may be the same, an unprimed pilot being caught unawares by an aircraft feature completely foreign to them, and unelucidated in the documentation is liable to lose precious time if the failure happens at an inopportune time of the flight.

Also, throw in the failure of autopilot to stay engaged, and inability to lock the computer out without losing the trim switches, it's a losing proposition all around.

>That isn't how certification works.

I'll butt heads with you there. A type certification certifies a particular configuration of hardware and software to be flown in certain airspace for a particular purpose. While operational leniency is to be expected so a failure of a component not on the Minimum Required Equipment checklist doesn't ground planes at every little problem, I patently reject the proposition that having a type certificate granted, then experiencing a configuration change during normal operation that compromises the ability for the airframe to meet the prescribed criteria for being certified as airworthy does not discertify that particular instance of the alleged type from immediate airworthyness.

It is the configuration that is certified. Anything that meets that configuration within reason may be used for the certified purpose. Departure from said configuration warrants immediate remediation as quickly and safely possible. Generally that judgement call is by custom left to the pilots as to whether to continue or reroute for repairs.

If you lose a system required to use the plane for it's intended purpose in flight, then you should damn well be prepared to put that plane on the ground to get it fixed. Period. This type of thing isn't a game, and the more the industry treats it like one, the less inclined people will be to trust and utilize it.
Umm, no, it was not. Even Windows Mobile was far more functional than iPhone. But iPhone looked cute, and had some ease of use affordances for people who could not be bothered actually learning anything (but then this had always been Apple's target audience).
"He singled out Google for agreeing to work closely with China, trying to get its search engine back into the Chinese market, while deciding to let lapse a U.S. defense department contract that gave the military access to its artificial intelligence tools.

Thiel suggested the actions were “seemingly treasonous,” as he delivered the opening speech Sunday at the National Conservatism conference in Washington. He asked whether Google parent Alphabet Inc.’s AI research program or senior management had been “infiltrated” by foreign intelligence agencies. “These questions need to be asked by the FBI and the CIA,” Thiel said, “And I’d like them to be asked in a not excessively gentle manner.”"
Sound like this was certainly an organised group and had strong local presence. But could as well be a daring youth club rather than organised crime.
HN in a nutshell: everyone in the comments advocating for Google to be investigated, right until the point when Peter Thiel suggests it. At that point, slam the breaks and turn 180.
The only one I think is good is when I build radio stations off custom playlists on Google play music. Generally speaking, most of the songs are good, and like 40% will get added to the playlist as well.
Honestly I think this is a ridiculous take. Google's military contracts have been extremely controversial both publicly and inside Google. The thing is, if Google wants to exist in China, they must follow some orders. The US government agencies do not force that kind of control (that we know of) so they are more easily rejected. Project Butterfly and Project Maven are not even directly comparable projects also, they have very different goals and implications.

All that said I do believe Google and others need to face some sort of regulations and audits. But hunting for Chinese intelligence officers seems like a waste of time with little evidence to actually warrant such an investigation.

Apologies if this is written weirdly, I desperately need sleep.

I teach a JS coding class and I had the luxury of creating the curriculum. To the horror of my peers, I decided that coding with loops was not necessary for beginners and got rid of loops altogether from our curriculum. I thought OP was proposing the same thing, but I was wrong. the refactoring was good, but my students will probably end up with the following result (more in line with your no loops title):

```

function highlightProducts(aListOfProducts, i=0){

if (i === aListOfProducts.length) return null

if(productShouldBeHighlighted(product)){

product.highlighted = true

}

return highlightProducts(aListOfProducts, i + 1)

}

```

The added benefit of the above approach is that debugging is easier! If you want to debug the last 5 items, you can simply call the function like this:

highlightProducts(aListOfProducts, aListOfProducts.length – 5)

Ultimately, though, everyone should be using higher order functions (map, reduce filter, find, etc.)

Well, the idea of the EMH (as I understand) is that the stock prices for things should be at an optimal price already and trying to beat market prices is basically a game of chance. Since one of the examples he gives is about the stock market and investing, I don't think his offhand statement is that far off.

More importantly, that's not really Central to the argument of the book he's reviewing or the argument of his post itself, it's a mostly irrelevant detail that you've picked on for no discernable reason.
This. People forget how new touch was to a generation coming from the mouse, windows and scroll wheels.
I think that's the intent, but it seems to only have incentivized discovering another proxy for race. For example, I recently watched an infosec talk 'hacking your credit score.'[0] Where the presenter mentioned that Fair Isaac (a reporting agency mentioned in the article) has a parameter in their algorithm called 'HMA' (High Minority Area), that he found in an internal presentation. I think a solution would be any parameter that remotely gives a correlate for race should be entirely eliminated from scoring systems.

Another startling insight from that talk was how normal services (i.e. home utilities, insurance, etc) will do credit inquiries and set a customer's rate based on their score. Which results in people with low credit scores pay more for services that are traditionally unrelated to borrowing. I'm worried that it could lead to a positive feedback loop that heavily affects those with poor credit scores in the long term. For this, it seems like a limitation on the kind of business relationships allowed to perform credit inquiries should be implemented.

The G3 cube would power off if you put a sheet of paper on it.
Not just the mice themselves. For a long time, Macs had an insane mouse pointer acceleration curve. It required long movements in order to move the pointer anywhere beyond the immediate area, and it affected both the trackpad and wired mice.

Back when I switched from Windows to Mac in 2006, I found this perhaps the most disruptive aspect; everything else was pretty standard GUI stuff, but the mouse behaviour was a nightmare. Windows had a different acceleration curve that felt super snappy (at the cost of a loss of precision), whereas on the Mac it was sluggish; it was a chore to get the mouse pointer to move anywhere.

For years I ran various apps that would fix the acceleration, including a tool from SteelSeries. I wasn't alone in being frustrated — forums were full of discussions about this. I'm not sure what happened or when, but I haven't needed that app in a long time. Apple must have changed the acceleration curve — I don't see any other explanation. Perhaps it came with the attempts at unifying the trackpad with iOS gestures, which require a 1:1 correspondence of your movement with what happens on the screen.
I would not hire a vendor who presented such odd requirements to me as I would see it as trying to use my company as a vehicle for your personal crusade. The installation point is valid, but I would expect it to be nulled by offering you company-owned hardware to work on.

Obesity Worse in the Southern States

Despite public information campaigns like those being spearheaded by First Lady Michele Obama about the dangers of obesity, American are more obese today than they were a decade ago. The obesity epidemic in the US continues, with southern states showing a steady increase in overweight and unhealthy people.

Dr. Michael Gaziano, a cardiologist at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston has called 2010 "the Age of Obesity and Inactivity." Mississippi has the highest rate of obesity in the US with a 34.4% obesity rate with Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, West Virginia, and Tennessee close behind. The statistic measures the percentage of the population rated as obese according to the body mass index (BMI).

Southern states are well known for their love of fried food, grilled meat, deep fat fried seafoods and fast foods. The lowest obesity rates nationally continue in Colorado where a more active lifestyle may moderate diet choices in the high altitude state.

Obesity puts people at risk for a range of serious diseases including hypertension, stroke, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Research has shown that protein found in meat, cheese and eggs called "casein" promotes these diseases, especially cancer according to decades of research by Dr. Colin Campbell of Cornell University.

What Thiel wants investigated and what the general HN user wants are very different things I would imagine. Personally I'm more concerned with what Google is doing with my data, and how much they are sharing with a PRISM like program than anything involving China. Thiel's basis for this is also rather weak. A censored search engine and sharing AI with the military are two entirely different things. I oppose both for the record, but just because they are both bad does not equate them.
Chandrayaan-2 launch called off at last minute, ISRO cites ‘technical snag’
So a totally innocent college student going home for summer vacation, gets in trouble. Escaped China, ended up on Planet Money, and vowed never to return. That sounds right? Could it be that this guy was the one spreading Islamic extremism (or worse terrorism) and got caught doing it? But of course Planet Money podcast is too busy to include that other side of story.

I had a Chinese roommate during university, I learned about this stuff from him. His desk was right by mine so I got to see a lot of this comment spam scrolling past the screen. It was a pretty interesting experience. I definitely thought it was pretty intrusive, I don't even like my cursor being on the screen when watching any video fullscreen. But I did think it was still really neat, you get a similar kind of social high from it as being in a crowd at a concert for example - you see everyone's reactions right when something climactic happens in the video.

This article did a much deeper and more detailed dive on the topic than what I heard via my roommate. I had no idea it had a proper name or the history around it, etc. Neither did I know the political/social implications.

He told me about the test to get on Bilibili, and he said he knew some people who spent a ton of time to study to get in, and even more who failed.

The experience of it can be somewhat closely resembled to watching the twitch chat of a very popular streamer who has subscriber-only mode enabled. In other words, 95% of the useless spam cut away from the free users, but still so much text flowing by that any real conversation is impossible. It's really just reactionary stuff. Someone else in this thread commented that the language density (less characters, more meaning in Chinese vs English) and the fact that scrolling text has a set duration not affected by other comments make it so it's a lot easier to keep up by just reading the periphery. E.g. on Twitch, the next comment pushes up the previous, so if it goes too fast you can't read anything at all, bullet comments take, say, 5 seconds to scroll from edge to edge (not sure on the specifics of the timing).
Of course it's an obvious mistake. That's why people laugh out loud when they see the photo of the thing charging.
> In data centers, loading data from networked server, where it's in memory, can be used over loading data from a disk, because disk is comparatively slow.

Most people however don't live in a data center. On regular computer and with regular Internet connection, even spinning rust blows the network out of the water. And computers increasingly ship with flash memory these days.

> A web app can load JavaScript assembler, which isn't much slower than a desktop app written in C.

A desktop app has already loaded that assembler at build-time, and when executed, it loads and runs native code.

(Well, sorta. Scripting is a huge thing for modularity and extensibility, and people do frequently choose slow languages like Python for that. Then again, some languages (like some Python implementations) let you compile scripts on first run and execute binaries later on. I actually wish more languages were designed like Common Lisp is, where you keep a seamlessly integrated compiler available at runtime and are expected to take advantage of it - in case of SBCL (a CL implementation), this means a fast to-native compiler, which on occasions can make an application faster than it would be in an otherwise ahead-of-time compiled language.)

> Bigger - and slower - parts of the web app can be loaded after the app starts interacting. So - at least in principle - no sizeable speed difference, which would blow somebody away.

So can desktop apps. Except they rarely need that, if huge, because it's harder to make them slow by default.

I mean, take Slack - a frequent target of performance complaint. They have a bloated web client, an even worse Electron app, and here I am, using Ripcord[0] on both Windows and Linux (and it has a Mac version too), getting the same functionality at a fraction of the resource use, and there's literally nothing slow there. Nothing. Not a thing (except connecting) takes a perceptible delay. That's how fast you can make a modern chat client, if you care.

> Advantage of web app is cross platform uniformity. Write once, run everywhere.

That's a big advantage, true. It's easier. Though it does come at a cost.

Trust me, the difference between the comments vertically scrolling in the sidebar and horizontally on top of the video is huge. In Twitch, when the comments become fast enough they literally give no time for the viewer to parse and understand most of them; With bullet comments plus Asian languages that have high letter-to-meaning ratio (or at least with my experience with Japanese on Niconico), each of the comments horizontally scrolling on top of the video leave just enough mental processing time to read through the majority of them and to grasp the atmosphere of the commenting hive-mind more clearly. This creates a sense of togetherness that is much more tight-knit than what you get from Twitch comments.
For anybody else that thought this doesn't work, you need to first select the circle pause button at the bottom to put the controls in "focus"

Hey! you are the one from the blog comment :) It must be pretty fun to create those curriculums!!
I agree with you that the restriction of not using loops can also direct you to apply recursion.

However do you believe recursion makes it easier to debug certain parts of the array when you can adjust the starting and stoping points in the guard of the for loop?
On this subject, clicking through to some of these videos in incognito gave me what I guess must be the "default" suggestions - which included not just beauty tips spam but far-right speakers and loyalist marches in Belfast. I'm guessing the latter is related to the date but it's not something I'd expect to be the default! Watching even one video then made it more normal, even when trying to generate recommendations based on the no view videos.
So that means you're forcing others to install Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox onto their computer as they're the only web browsers that currently support Google Hangouts.
I would consider those "some kind of loop".
You're right that some people are genuinely happy with their jobs/lives working for someone else. Actually that might be the vast majority of people.

That's not for me though - like I said if I was rich I'd still be working 60+ hour weeks. I think other people would spend more time with family/friends in that scenario?

There is multiple elements to your question.

Two ways where these systems may give out more loans than is strictly profitable, and they are both investments:

- Fairness. If you have a variable race and a zip code, you could account for discrimination via redundant encodings, while still using the feature for the optimal trade-off between a fairness criteria and model performance.

- Exploration. Concept drift (the correlational and causal meaning of variables shifts over time) can introduce wrong predictions. If all you have is few samples from a zip code, the model will always be uncertain. You can counter this by exploration and active learning: gather samples, not because this makes the model max-profit, but gather samples, to better learn how to predict these samples in the future.

But yes, giving out too many loans to minorities, may very well lead to further crisis and defaults, and tainting the credit scores of people will low access to finances even further. A bit like how well-meaning people donate money and food to Africa during Christmas time, then a few months later when donations subside, there are increases in famines. There is such a thing as "being too good".

And don't forget iPhone lacked MMS on release and almost a year or two after if I remember correctly
There are people I know who are making two to five times more than I, including those whom I have personally mentored. The reason is that they do job hopping more than I do (been working in this position for 5 years) and the startups boom in my country has increased the salary greatly[1].

On one hand, more money means more financial freedom. But on the other hand it comes with several drawbacks: 966 style working hours, instability etc... so I am contend with staying here because at least I can create values by my own paces, at least for now.

tl;dr: be happy with what you can create

[1] 1500$/month is the household income needed to get into top 1% here, and that's also above average salary of one 'senior' developer.
Ipaq had touch 3-4 years before iPhone came out. Obviously not as slick. People seem to always forget that the iPhone was just an evolution not some kind of magically unexpected or unanticipated device.
Munger and Buffett have long addressed envy with a response like the following:

"The idea of caring that someone is making money faster [than you are] is one of the deadly sins. Envy is a really stupid sin because it’s the only one you could never possibly have any fun at. There’s a lot of pain and no fun. Why would you want to get on that trolley?"

I have found that perspective to be helpful. There's no upside for anyone.
I had that happen to me when I was a student living in west philly, also once in Kensington and once in Camden. The later two are/were particularly notorious, though my neighborhood in west philly wasn't very nice either.

I've heard mixed reports of cops in Camden, but the cops I've encountered in Philly all seemed genuinely concerned with protecting the law abiding residents from crime and are pretty good at getting to know the people living in a neighborhood. After we met the first time, the cop in west philly who cautioned me against the neighborhood remembered me for the remaining years I lived here and on one occasion when I was particularly careless probably saved my ass.
