the rise in planted hectares comes from a rise in prices and ever more stringent production quotas on other produce from Europe.
This is probably one of the best examples of modern white-washing of our history ..

Then you have Eiffel, Smalltalk and Lisp variants.
So this is already fixed:

"The remedy for the A350-941 problem is straightforward according to the AD: install Airbus software updates for a permanent cure ..."

And it has the known workaround.

So this has almost nothing to do with Airbus at this point, the directive and the "sighs" uttered by the EU aviation agency are directed at the airlines that won't install the update.

But good distraction from Boeing's woes as long as you only read the headline...

Is this true? I would assume Republicans are more interested in protecting big bank interests
> Rather, they see Tesla as a small, unimportant, poorly run company (...)

Definitely false. Q2 revenue was 25% of Nissan's (which crossed my radar recently due to layoffs). That may be small, for some definition of small, but it's definitely not "small, unimportant". I won't comment on poorly run -- a qualitative assessment that does not lead to a definitive conclusion. I'd challenge with a comparison to a well run startup in the automotive space, but there is none to compare it with.

As for another car company making just another car, I don't understand how can you even write those words together. A Tesla may be a good car, a poor car, depending on who you ask. What it is definitely not is your average Volkswagen.
Right, as you say, it started with the War on Drugs.

This was long before I started; but the simplest answer is that there were no good options meeting our requirements when Overture was developed, which is back starting around 2010. (Overture has been the foundation for our webmail since late 2011 when that interface was released as beta.) Also do note that Overture does a lot more than just “Angular” or “React”, which I am not inclined here to expound; you’d need quite a few more libraries to equal it—a surprising number of which genuinely don’t exist in open source, so you’d still be writing a lot from scratch. Overture is definitely slanted towards being a web app development library (yet without being a heavyweight and strongly-opinionated-in-UI-matters beast like ExtJS).

When you care about performance, there’s still a lot to be said for controlling the full stack.
Thanks for the reference, will try to look it up.
I guess here I'm referring to the passage in the linked article that says:

"...simple [chemicals] spontaneously polymerize and self-assemble into [bigger chemicals] when dried at moderate temperatures followed by rehydration."
I think the comments here say more about us as an audience than they do about the Airbus. We're totally accustomed to hardware & software problems whose solution is, "just restart it," and we don't even find it all that disturbing - mostly just humorous.

Our standards as developers & testers have gotten pretty low.

I think the only way you'd see outrage here at HN is if the restart involved a real physical crash (as opposed to a software one) and the loss of human lives. Otherwise, we're all, "meh."
I kind of feel like these things should be reset regularly to be safe anyway.

This was a bug that was known, what if there others?
I read a short story by Chekhov which involved a Cherry Orchard (it may well have been The Cherry Orchard although that's a play, I think it was The Black Monk) in which a frost was forecast so they set smoke billowing making fires, I imagine to stave off the cold killing the fruit. I've not heard much about that, and I imagine the Russians are quite adept at coming up with genius solutions to get a crop to harvest.

It always struck me as an amazing image, the contrast of reading it whilst being banged around on a tube train making it all the more amazing.
Ask HN: Why did Facebook disable my account?
I signed up for an account, filled out a few details and literally just hours later, tried to log in and account was suspended. I had to send a photo for verification and 24 hours later was informed my account was disabled. To dispute the decision they want me to send a legal document as ID. I'm not prepared to do that so I guess that's that?
I have a framework that does this. Send me mail at tyleo@devev.com if you are interested.

Occasionally rebooting a system is actually a good thing.

“Hello, IT, have you tried turning it off and on!?”
I would add (also as an Italian) that a not so uncommon crop (not only in Sicily) has been in recent (last 20 or so) years kiwis.

Don't ask me the reason why, but somehow they (the Italian ones) taste very unlike what a kiwi (in Oz or NZ) tastes, they are somehow less sweet and more sour.

Maybe it is a different species or the different kinds of ground or maybe they are harvested and brought to market at different stages, but I believe that somehow is the difference in climate (even if NZ and Italy are not so different).

AFAIK most people in EU (that hadn't the occasion to taste the "real" thing) get used to the taste, but when (if) they happen to go to NZ they suddenly realize that they had been eating something "different".
Then why have different levels at all and just pay more or less? Why hide someone's position/level.. why even have levels? Is this a shield for management.. you shouldn't know Jim is more valuable.. easier to pull the wool over employee eyes?
Airbus is already using formal method for creation and validation of the code which are the ultimate version of testing.
I don't know of significant legal obstacles to publishing your own genomic data, or that of your children.

And except for intellectual property issues, I don't see a problem with publishing treatment details, either.

There are some issues about providing medical advice without license, but that can be circumvented with a few disclaimers.
What ecosystem would provide lipids in those times btw ?
Never heard of clickbait?
I think you guys are unnecessarily being pedantic about the semantics here. Obviously the parents are software tech people, and so there is some poetic license with the headline. It's not really click bait as it is in good faith, and it isn't really misleading to anyone who can understand the bias of tech people to relate everything they do to their passion.

It isn't a journalistic article and so the writer should be forgiven for using a touch of their creativity with the title. Had this been from a news organization I would probably feel rather differently.

Not affiliated, but this company built a slack to ticketing system bridge.

https://halp.com

Maybe best of both worlds?

That said, at small companies where I have worked I have found slack/chatops to be very useful. It's already there. You don't need a separate system. Hopefully you have some other work organization tool (Trello, etc) that you can use to track work (slack is great for real-time discussion and history but I'd hate to have it be my to-do list).
I'm curious where they draw the line for "company offering financial services". Even if Facebook falls into the big online tech bracket, they explicitly wanted Libra to be a separate entity. In the extreme case, they could hand over Libra completely to other companies and deeply integrate as a payment system/wallet for Libra that they have "no control" over.
Not sure, but is it possible that the runtime (or parts thereof) isn’t linked in in that example?
The proposed definition is in the article.
On a levelized basis, nuclear is grossly uncompetitive.

This means that when the wind is blowing, or the sun is shining, nuclear cannot sell for close to what it needs to make ends meet.

Cheap batteries are just going to be the final nail in the coffin. At the current rate of decline of battery prices I expect most operating nuclear reactors to shut down within a decade.

Oh, and please don't repeat the "PV needs rare earth metals" lie. They don't use rare earths, or for that matter need any rare elements at all. The only somewhat rare element silicon PV uses is silver for front contact wires, but that can be substituted for with copper (with a migration barrier layer to prevent reaction with silicon) if silver gets too expensive.
Every CEO is a salesman. Anyone who believes every word of a salesman is a fool. I'd not paint it as Trump-style, bona fide lying. It's just inflating promises, or being overly optimistic. Par for the course.
Well, it would seem to have occurred only once in all the universe we've looked at. That's as rare as it can be, given the anthropic nature of the observation. :)

Statistically speaking... as in mean civilisations per galaxy, yep I agree, no idea where that might land!
I don't think this is true. The output of a program is not considered as a derivative work of that program. E.g. Is a photo taken by a digital camera considered a derived work from the camera firmware?
The scary thing is that this is what they call "anonymized".

Both countries with socialized medicine and yet they still didn't come up with a cure. It happened in one of the most, if not the most, capitalistic tech-hubs in the world. Maybe there's just something about the private sector that gets things done.

I think planes already scrutinized to a very high degree. What I am more concerned about is airlines doing the reboot in flight to save time. Planes are often on a very tight schedule (maybe not cargo planes).
Good points although I'm not sure we can put that genie back in the bottle, the population is too high for subsistance farming now.

They do define large as 25bil.

This definition has serious issues if nothing else.

Btw, would you care to review historical tick crypto data API (https://tardis.dev) I've built? Seen your 'about' hence question.
In most organizations I have interacted with getting data with known sampling is always a problem. “The temperature sensor sends a measurement every 5 minutes.” Except, I learned after a lot of debugging, when the air-conditioner gets maintained and the readings become a fixed value.

It’s not the organizations fault. Discovering and maintaining a known sampling for the data is part of the process. I consider it a win when I can get a team to accept that the data process will need to be debugged just like code.

Same happend to me as i asked some serious questions. In my country its forbidden to make a copy, also fb. has no right to ask for it. It was an investigation account, good job fb.
But its also possible, because fb. wants his libra. And to do this, they have to be sure about every single user if its a real person, or fake.
I know i was hacked many times on fb. Everyday i saw i signed in from other machine, other location. And till fb. cant fix their security problem, there will be no libra.
The reason she rejected him was due to the way she perceived his mistreatment of Wickham. She didn't realize just how bad of an egg he was, and how lucky Wickham was to have a connection with Darcy. Upon receiving Darcy's letter, where he bares his entire soul and how he went to considerable expense to make things right for Wickham and her sister anyway, she began to see him in a new light. She was already well down the path to falling for him when they toured his estate the first time.

Obviously that sealed the deal, but Austen wouldn't be hailed as one of the world's greatest novelists if the plot of her seminal work was that easily reduced to money.
>Do I have to Ph.D in every medical science to make sure my kids get a treatment what they deserve?

Not necessarily. What are you doing to contribute?
This thread is depressingly chock-full of people who just do not understand the argument being made here. The same tired old counterarguments of "it's just like elan vitale was before we understood biology" are being trotted out again and again, with no attempt at understanding how flawed that talking point is (and has been for years).
If you've seen some of the videos of people playing these "asset flips" you would have seen that they have very little in terms of gameplay. They are also full of bugs and appear mostly unfinished.
I agree with you very, very strongly. However...

...I don't think that applies to Musk. This isn't the case of someone making an ill-considered tweet and getting eviscerated; this is about dozens and dozens of tweets, lawsuits, and interviews. Even so, if Musk took responsibility and said he was going to change, I'd certainly say we should give him every opportunity to do so. But to state the obvious, that hasn't happened.
You're very welcome.

Even though I have no children, I can try to imagine what it feels like.

My paternal grandfather died of complications from uncontrolled, insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes. He spent his last years half-blind, unable to move, filled with ulcers and missing several toes.

My father has been hovering around the prediabetic range for many years now, and I live a 5-hour drive away from him. Effectively, he is like a child, with no knowledge of nutrition or metabolism, trying to find his way in a world dominated by a food industry that doesn't have public health anywhere in its objectives.

But it's not just the food industry, although they might have the monopoly of malice in this context. Guess what the diet prescribed by his primary care provider looked like once he was deemed prediabetic. Motherfucking biscuits for breakfast, pasta or rice with lean meat, sugar-laden fruit juice... but counting calories! Exactly the opposite of what I have finally convinced him to eat by chipping away on every holiday visit. He's not exactly following a ketogenic diet, but at least he is starting to figure out what sugar, starch and seed oils do to people, and how the blame was shifted onto the wrong substances (saturated fat and salt, basically). He is even giving intermittent fasting a go!

It's hard when you know that the potential suffering of a loved one is perfectly avoidable with just the right pieces of information.

As you might have guessed, having type 2 diabetes in my immediate ancestry (also in my maternal family) was one of the reasons that led me down the rabbit hole. I now treat nutrition and its effect on health and metabolism sort of like a hobby. I guess there is a component of biohacking in there as well.

As a middle aged lifter I'm finding that the 2.5kg increase every session is one I'm best off disabling in the app as the lifts get heavier, having started from the bar. I still aim to increase once I'm solid at a level, but the important thing is getting consistent workouts. Getting injured runs counter to that.
So you simply start a different company unrelated to the tech company.
Similar to the tarrifs.. Apple gets an excempt because it cannot get their parts anywhere else; because they are Apple-specific parts, manufactured there.

Plus, if you're a veggie/vegan, or you have gluten intolerances, pizza is still an option - as long as they get it right. I once had a nightmare scenario where a pizza place gave a vegan pizza to one of my co-workers with coeliac disease. When this person fell ill, the chef said "I thought they were just fussy".

I run a company that tries to solve your problem!

We haven’t done a big public launch yet - but we use AI techniques to compose work for existing clients (think businesses + Youtube video creators).

We try to take all friction out of the process.

Here’s how it works:
You send link to your video. Tell us what emotions you want / any requirements (we have a simple form). Our AI engine then structures and creates a song exclusively for you (no royalties / copyright). We then have our in-house composers make final adjustments and sync it perfectly w/ your video. We price a lot less than normal composition studios due to the AI piece.

Trying to talk to as many customers as possible. If I could ask you a few questions or if you want to be a beta customer please email me at: leagueduels@gmail.com
I’d greatly appreciate it!

Isn't it normal to be vague when writing laws in a "common law" system like the US? I thought the practice was defended with the notion that judges will have to interpret the spirit of the law, having some flexibility with unforeseen cases. It has its pros and cons, but it seems to be an explicit design decision in the system of laws.
Any agent which has the ability to perceive red must have some mechanism which corresponds to that percept. The percept of red has to be different to other percepts so that it is not mistaken for something that is not red. It is subjective because the agent has no mechanism for objective experience.

A long time ago HN used to be a place where people had a general distrust of large corporations and it was much more impressive to be working for an ambitious startup than being highly paid an a large company just grinding out the status quo.

I'm really happy to see posts like this here. Jeremy has done lost of great work and so it's somewhat refreshing to see that even someone like him struggles at times at a place like google. It's also important because it show that FAANG isn't all it's cracked up to be and so it is a completely legitimate career path to remain in small startups, maybe getting paid less, but having more fun getting paid.

I've worked at both the big and small and this post definitely resonates with me and certainly makes it easier to go into work knowing that I'm not the crazy one.
