No, as the Seattle Times pointed out the intent of the test is to ensure the wings support 150% of their rated load. They may continue until things break, but the typical purpose is simply to ensure there's that 50% wiggle room.

> To my mind, the most hackable flaw is that the number of subjects in the study is a term in the denominator of the p-value calculation. Any study with a sufficiently large sample will find "significance" with p<.05, but it won't be meaningful.

I don't think that is right. Think about tossing unbiased coins. The probability that you will get an improbable (p < 5%) result is exactly the same no matter how many or few coins you toss.
SNI allows hosting multiple SSL Certificates on one IP, but is itself a privacy problem, because https requests have the domain in plain text.

ESNI can solve this, by encrypting the SNI header while still allowing serving multiple https domains on one IP. But it’s currently mainly implemented by cloudflare.

Absolutely Rust and JavaScript. Rust would be a far better language if it used S-expressions and didn't try to reinvent a macro syntax. But then it would not be as popular.

In this way Lisp suffers from having no syntax, although it's a slightly different argument. When you can't have flamewars about a language's syntax, fewer articles are written about it. So instead, people will argue about the encoding of the AST - the parentheses.

Similarly, well-designed languages like Clojure, Haskell and Erlang have fewer questions on StackOverflow and older GitHub issues, so there are fewer flamewars about them (although monads are Haskell's saving grace here).

The NPM crowd are quick to ask, "Is this project abandoned?" when it hasn't had any activity for a year. In Clojure country, we dislike using libraries that haven't been stable for at least five years. As Alan Kay put it, Computer Science is very much a pop culture.

The phenomenon needs a good name, though. Perhaps the Moving Target Paradox, since developers are more likely to run after a moving target.
Ooh, that's an interesting tack. I wonder if Firefox stores cookies or sends enough headers for fingerprinting DoH requests.
Wow, Ghiridaradas coming so correct. I tried to read his book “Winners Take All” multiple times and found it absolutely unreadable, he kept restating the same point with different overly-complex words and name-drops. But here he writes with real clarity and real precision. Just wish he’d applied that same clarity to the writing style in his book!
I also found this strange, but I think the example is much harder to understand than the article claims.

By my current interpretation:

If the light shines in all directions, then a regular polygon, or in fact any convex polygon, doesn't need the mirrors to illuminate the room - the candle will light the room without needing a bounce. So, if you're thinking of a convex polygon, it's not quite relevant to this example.

The only difficult case would be if there was a concave polygon and the light had to bounce into the "caves" (or perhaps a series of rooms).

It's possible to imagine that there are specific set-ups where, if the mirrors are set up just right, the light will be bounced back out of a cave rather than filling it up.

If such a situation exists, then that bounce back would happen only with a very precise set-up: being arbitrarily close to the set-up wouldn't result in the bounce back.

Knowing that it is area distortion projection and overcoming your prejudice if you've never seen anything else isn't the same thing. For example European people have a feeling that something is wrong with the map when Europe portrait as small as it actually is.
This is what I came to say, and finding validation in your saying of it, I can but say "I agree" -But I would love to see a more formal write-up of how the wing stressed area carred over into the doors, and how likely this risk is, and if its a peculiarity not previously seen because wide-scale use of composites in large-volume widebody jets is still somewhat new?

(new as in, comparatively few composite body jets at scale are being tested, few models have existed, compared to the numbers of more traditional material jets which have undergone this specific test)
While I agree, and assuming those numbers are correct it is a huge win, this doesn't mean we can't continue to improve over current technology.

SQL gave business analysts a way to express relational set algebra. If SQL had launched with an (arguably superior) datalog syntax, I wonder if it would have been as popular. Probably not, so it does feel like a good example. If SQL was composable (i.e. not a concatenated string), it would employ far fewer API gluers.
Unfortunately not, it has fundamental issues, the largest of which is that these devices only scale linearly compared to HAWTs which scale at h^2. Putting in more of them won't over come the scaling losses, neither will the cost reductions; even with twice the number of them and with 50% reduction in cost, you're still loosing linearly at 30% to HAWTs h^2 gains.

How does sales tax work? As a VAT-registered business, if I were buying something for work (such as a laptop) I would pay 20% VAT but then I claim it back at the next quarter - as VAT is actually a tax on profit, not on spending. Does the same apply to sales tax or does everyone pay it regardless?
Note that using interchangeably 'pedophile' and 'child sex abuser' is wrong.

First, it criminalizes actual pedophiles, who in most cases do not abuse children. Accordingly, most child sex abusers are not pedophiles.

Second, pedophilia is generally defined as a sexual attraction to prepubescent children, while many or most child sex abusers (including Epstein) abuse postpubescent children.
I found this a more helpful explanation of the rise in house prices.

https://medium.com/iipp-blog/why-cant-you-afford-a-home-9c5c...

I also can’t help but wonder whether the change in house prices has been a factor in the rise of populist politicians. It feels impossible to prove or disprove, but in places like the UK and US, a high cultural value is placed on home ownership. And at the same time, housing is unaffordable. In that gap dissatisfaction grows. And a more obvious target of blame is immigration than cost and availability of credit.

I emphasize, the above is an hypothesis. I look for evidence to either prove or disprove.

Uploading a single file to S3 seems like it should be a simple job, that is well-documented:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/user-guide/uploa...

There are parts of AWS that are hard to use, and non-intuitive. But S3 didn't ever seem to be one of them, though perhaps I'm forgetting how hard it was initially.

You might consider a "friendly" system for static hosting if raw-S3 is too hard though, such as netlify. There are a lot of services out there which basically wrap and resell AWS services. (I run my own to do git-based DNS hosting, which is a thin layer upon the top of route53 for example.)

Ignoring the reality won’t change things. Once we understand the hows and why, which have to do with decreasing job security requiring life near urban areas, huge sums of cash looking for returns on investment, etc, we can then try to fix the issue.

Problem is that the real root of the issue is the lack of stability in people’s incomes, due to jobs being outsourced to poorer countries and automation, for which there is no undoing, and would require redistributing wealth.

Since starting to use Google Cloud for bits and pieces I've come to appreciate the AWS UI approach much more than previously. All those little spartan pockets of UI means nothing gets overengineered, the tools feel more like a quick Intranet web app (and generally load as quickly!) than anything else

Meanwhile over in GCloud, almost /any/ operation whatsoever will spam you with an endless series of progress meters, meaningless notification popups, laptop CPU fans on, 3-4 second delays to refresh the page (because most of their pages lack a refresh button), etc., and the experience is uniform regardless of whatever tool you're using.

The uniform design itself was clearly done by a UI design team with little experience of the workflows involved during a typical day. For example, requiring 2 clicks and at least one (two?) slow RPCs to edit some detail of a VM, with the first click involving the instance name with any 'show details' button completely absent from the primary actions bar along the top. The right-hand properties bar in GCloud is also AFAIK 100% useless. I've yet to see any subsection that made heavy use of it

Underengineering beats massive overengineering? Something like that. Either way, the GCloud UI definitely pushes me to AWS for quick tasks when a choice is available, because the GCloud UI is the antithesis of quick

This is what Cloudkick [1] was setting out to do when they were funded by YC back in early 2009.

Seems like that kind of service is more necessary now than ever.

Man, you are not kidding! I didn't realise it was so far from anywhere and that looks fairly inhospitable terrain too.
That's the last thing AWS wants you to be able to do, actually use the cloud like a commodity. Hence their quarterly announcements of increasingly weird and wonderful marginally "added value" services which never quite behave like anything else and where you'd have a hard time mapping the functionality onto an abstracted interface.
None of the exploit chains Google found support iPhones too old to receive the latest iOS version, probably because that would require 32-bit versions of the exploits. There also doesn't seem to be any 10.0.x or 10.1.x-only jailbreaks, so that doesn't explain the ancient exploits for those versions either; there seem to have been a few months at the end of 2017 where the best jailbreak was a 10.2.1-only one, but that version ain't supported by any of the exploits here and it was quickly obsoleted by jailbreaks which supported all 10.x versions. (Interestingly, those jailbreaks used the same bug as exploit 2 here, but they supported more versions and used different techniques to exploit it. That strongly suggests this exploit was developed and used prior to the release of those jailbreaks in late 2017/early 2018.)

Also, note that the exploit used in chain 4 was unpatched when Google discovered it. It looks like the reason it doesn't support newer iOS versions is because they abandoned it in favour of the cleaner chain 5, which entirely obsoletes it in terms of versions and devices targeted. Just this pair of exploits alone suggest that the attack was live in the wild for at least a year.

In theory I suspect that most recent exploit could be backported to cover all the iOS versions covered by all the other exploits too (and some they missed) but they just didn't bother.
Presto-Distributed SQL query engine for big data
It’s interesting you mention the shopping site. I have found their site horrible ever since the beginning and only marginally better since done of their belabored efforts to polish some things. I feel like both WAS and the shopping UI/UX are dependent on an overarching common effect; your willingness to suffer in order to get the hit of addiction. On the shopping site it’s the relative speed and gratification of the purchase in addition to the Christmas like anticipation of package delivery, in AWS it’s the general, relatively best (note the intentional avoidance of “good”) in class overall outcome (a function that includes the universality of AWS in the industry); which both matter way more than everything else, even combined.

Think of an Amazon shopping competitor that has a great site UX and actually makes good recommendations (no, Amazon, I do not need 20 more variations on lightbulbs I just bought), the site UX and recommendations, among other things; would surely have to cumulatively far exceed the perceive value placed on the immediacy of AMZ logistics operation that can have you the thing you lust after on the same day sometimes.

I’m certain AMZ knows quite well, just as Google, FB, etc., they have a monopoly of Good Enough in core competencies to both maintain their monopoly and stave off or at least frustrate competitors through their monopolization of our minds. It’s a new type of monopoly, Mental Monopoly, suited for the Information Age abstracted from the physical world of goods.

It’s why we suffer through Amz, Aws, as well as put up with google and YouTube and fb and endless scrolling through rubbish on Netflix … they have a grip on our lazy mind because they’re all Good Enough and there is no one that is enforcing comptmltition in a manner that is appropriate for thevtech industry.
This is a rather different claim to saying there wouldn't be a benefit. I'm not saying filesystem accelerator SSDs would necessarily be in sum a good thing, just that in principle it seems like the kind of thing that should perform better than today's abstractions.
That is crazy to me. Watch a few hours of YouTube videos, and one can do it yourself a bathroom 10 times for that cost in the USA, and you’d be an expert at it by the end.

I had to Google for the 'infamous letter C'. In case others were wondering, it seems to stem from folk wisdom still perpetuated that for a blind guess the third answer when given 4 or more options in a multiple choice test is more likely to be correct than the others.

The linked article suggests this does not hold (for the ACT), but doe suggest picking a single letter and sticking with it for all blind guesses would outperform a purely random guessing strategy.

Don’t use the console. Nobody who uses aws professionally spends any amount of time in it. They have apis and cloud formation use that.
The price of goods is a function of all of the costs associated with selling, so I think the cost in additional theft is ultimately put on the honest customers. That may not be such a terrible result though, since self checkout reduces cost in the first place. Since many customers prefer to save time / avoid human interaction by self checkout, it's probably a net gain either way you cut it.
What's sad is that the printed maps are extremely accessible, are never "out-of-order", and cheap to print. The MTA is probably worried about re-printing & updating the maps when routes change, but that happens pretty rarely and I doubt the cost of reprinting/reposting exceeds the cost of digitization.
The Westerners may well be aware of Mugabe's end of colonization. But, someone who has murdered is called a murderer. And should be treated as such.

But we have here an African who killed Africans, so we are supposed to see the other side more clearly. Are the murdered Africans supposed to count less heavily on our conscience?

> DNS is used by ISPs to sell user's data

Claims like these keep surfacing in every discussion. While it is good to contemplate what your ISP spying on you would look like and what you can do to minimize that risk, it is not good to present this as normal behaviour.

From my perspective I am absolutely certain that this is not something that is routinely done, not in established ISPs in democratic countries. The risks would be far too great for a tiny income. Who would you sell to? The advertising networks have their own data sources, and even the web giants with billions of users and trackers embedded in pretty much every web page you visit can't charge much.

Even if you wanted to do this, DNS would be a low value target considering it is cached at every layer. Data mining sFlow logs, which is something every ISP would use anyway for diagnostic purposes, would give you better view of which kind of services users connect to and for how long.

So please don't normalize something that is at best a niche for bad actors. That can lead to decisions for end users, many of whom would be wiser not sending their data off to a foreign third party.
