Professional Engineers in Canada (and in some states in the US AFAIK) are required to have a valid licence, that can be revoked on ethical breach.

Although it's rar to see it as a requirement in software (most software developers aren't engineers anyway), it is more common to see it required when public safety is on the line.

When breaching ethics will cost you not only your job, but your employability altogether, that's a strong incentive to act ethically.
There is a ton of literature on this. Many elected state and local governments, especially in the South, work actively against the voting interests of large swaths of their populations. Whether through gerrymandering, or processes that improperly remove registrations, or that remove polling places, or that place improper obstacles like fees or clean civic record requirements in the ways of voters, or any of literally hundreds of techniques. Requiring government-issued IDs is just the rhetorical cover for these far more restrictive and extremely pervasive techniques.

I think you misunderstand the parent. The obsession to always focus on tools is I think, what they described. In the end of the day what matters is what you produce, not what tools you used. Nobody cares about what you used, apart from engineers.
The same people that want voters to provide ID when voting are very against free national ID cards. There are plenty of games that you can play at the state level in discouraging or somehow confusing the ID issue (does the address have to up to date on your DL, or even the right state for college students?), which doesn’t apply when a national ID is considered (none of that info is on your passport, but it costs $100+ to get that).
I find it odd that Professional Engineers bear greater professional and career responsibility and risk than managers, who wield more decision-making power. There is no analogous mechanism to strip a manager of their Professional Manager certification like can theoretically happen to P.E.'s, yet they are the ones who institute the systems, processes and cultures that everyone else must abide by.

This appears to be a scaling failure in how we build organizational and political power abstractions.
I agree with you, overall. So why dance around it? In this country (the US), white people by law got to win more often than others. In India and China and other places other rules were in place. Every place has its rules, and in most, as you put it, previous power chooses future power. With our weird "one drop" laws in the US affecting everything from voting to banking access to property rights to mortgage rates to schooling, race and ancestry are inextricably tied to that in the US. Ruby Bridges only had her 65th birthday this Sept 8. She's younger than my parents.

I think it is utterly fascinating to watch the world change and watch morals and mores change, but still see power reconfiguring, like mercury falling into a groove, to maintain power and bend law to its service! And the naive/idealistic among us say oh, we'd never do things like our ignorant and unenlightened ancestors. We don't see race. We don't see color. We're a pure meritocracy, with advancement ruled only by your access to the best schools ;)
I honestly think it would be overall better for us. Like I said, FICO is a very weak signal that isn't given much weight in the adjudication process; and your lenders are using these other signals I listed anyway, so the negative social effects you speak of are already happening. So, the only net outcome of automatic, forced credit reporting is that third party companies exist that collect, misuse and profit off of citizens' personal data.

Anyway, rather than a draconian approach of outlawing credit bureaus, I think a law making third-party credit reporting optional rather than required is the right thing to push for, and more realistic than a nonstarter suggestion like nationalizing the credit bureaus.

This seems super shallow. Most of the interesting psychology of color comes from grouping with contrast. Forests are mostly green, Brown, gold, and rusty red. It is the combination that evokes mood and reaction. Looking at single colors on white may have some limited application for marketing and promotion, but combination and contrast is more closely related to psychology of interpretation.

I'm reminded of an ancient 8031 C compiler. It didn't support reentrancy. Which seems like a bad thing until you realize that the program could be analyzed as a acyclic graph. The compiler then statically allocated and packed variables based on the call tree. Programs used tiny amounts of memory.

In general, I'm really skeptical of solutions to difficult problems described by journalists, because I expect the key is always going to be redefining the boundaries of the problem.

They already know.

The question now is, when will "you" (i.e. not you personally) figure out that you're lying to yourself about your lying? Stephen Schneider advocated lying to the public in 1996:

On the one hand, as scientists we are ethically bound to the scientific method, in effect promising to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but — which means that we must include all the doubts, the caveats, the ifs, ands, and buts. On the other hand, we are not just scientists but human beings as well. And like most people we’d like to see the world a better place, which in this context translates into our working to reduce the risk of potentially disastrous climatic change. To do that we need to get some broad based support, to capture the public’s imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have. This ‘double ethical bind’ we frequently find ourselves in cannot be solved by any formula. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest. I hope that means being both.

--Stephen Schneider in APS News, Aug/Sep 1996, p. 5.

How much longer will "you" keep lying?

I didn’t ignore it, I called it a straw man. That’s the entire point of my comment.

The argument you are calling “centrist” is not claiming there is a “truth somewhere in the middle”. It’s claiming there are plausible positions (concentrations of probability in your metaphor) in more than just two locations.

I also considered adding that the assumption of a one-dimensional parameter space is also overly reductionist and not representative of the majority of positions people take when they feel like the mainstream choices are both wrong.

Great news Mr Bloomberg, about time some of these bozos left the islands, maybe we can finally enjoy the place without being flooded by tourists. We used to have September to ourselves now not even that is quiet. The Florida Keys are being purchased by conglomerates and wealthy people like never before in history. Housing is blooming, and tourism is also. The exodus is happening, but that is New York City. They are all moving down to Miami and the Keys. You want to play alarmist? Then include Miami sir, because ALL OF FLORIDA will be affected by weather changes and patterns, like LA, like the coastal Carolinas in about 100 years or so. Until then I doubt Amazon would HQ in S FL if there was fear of submersion. Until the great flood will happen, get the heck out of our islands!

MPEG-LA does not. https://www.mpegla.com/programs/avc-h-264/ is their license scheme - while they allow a certain threshold below which cutoff isn't required, there's a lot of companies (such as Blizzard Entertainment!) whose primary distributed product is solely for video playback. H.264 requires a license for personal, at-home playback of encoded files. You have such a license if you have a Windows OS, an Apple OS, if you're using Chrome, or if you use a set-top box, or other "single-use" device which can play back H.264. You do not have such a license on linux with mplayer.
Absolutely. Away from the city here in Australia you'll see that many.

$33 is under 1/2 the price of new coal generation. To the engineers who build this stuff it's all over - talking to them they seem to thing the long term price of generation and storage will drop to near 0.

It's not really surprising considering how many people dislike the current administration.

People don't trust credit industries or the government. But with the stories popping around ICE, with the history of government registries like the no-fly list and the terrorism watch list that just got declared unconstitutional after over a decade...

Right or wrong, I think some people believe that government corruption is more dangerous than industry corruption. You have to put all of Bernie's policies into the context of, "Trump probably wasn't an aberration, and we probably will get another administration like this at some point in the future, even if it's a decade from now." American politics are pretty predictable over the long run: we have regular party swaps, and occasionally they line up so one party controls both the presidency and Congress. The wild card there is the Supreme Court, but (packing debates aside) that's likely going to remain Republican-controlled for a reasonably long time.

So odds are pretty good that anything we build now is something that Trump v2 will some day get to control.

With that in mind, remember that we've pretty recently had debates about whether or not the census was going to include a citizenship question, and whether or not the trademark office could ask for green cards. For all of Equifax's (many) faults, it's not as trivial for an administration to get to start actively disenfranchising immigrants.

People do want the credit industry to be regulated, and they want the ability to opt-out of at least some credit reporting. But they're also nervous about building a system where the people who decide the rules are the same people who run the system. The ability to apply for credit is so ridiculously important for so many people. It would give Trump v2 a lot of additional power to target unpopular groups.
I see, thanks for the answer !

I would rather rely on both a good permission model AND a transparent well meaning author than only one of the two, but I can see how it can be enough.

The issue is that even considering that this person is indeed honest (and to be clear I absolutely don't intend to smear them, I have no idea who they are), they can one day decide to stop developing the extension and leave it to somebody else, accept external contributors that might be malicious, etc

Reference counting is a form of gc though. It even comes with some nondeterminism in the form of release cascades. Usually performs worse than heap analyzers too, due to hitting atomic counters a lot. The lack of heap overhead and simplicity of implementation are the strong points.

> WSL 2 is not stable and it is only available for the Windows Insider program

True but so what? It works perfectly well for many purposes right now (I know this from experience). Work on it is progressing apace, and it'll be in the mainstream builds before long.

> And it does not have X.

I don't even know what that means. You can install an X server (x410's the best in my experience), and run X11 apps in it. I worked f/t on the Linux build of IntelliJ running in WSL2 for a couple of projects, and it was fine.

> NTFS is getting old and it is very slow if you have a lot of small files.

Windows file handling is pretty slow, but not mainly because of NTFS. Working in WSL2 you have a linux kernel & ext4 for your source files, so it doesn't matter.

> Windows is nice to a light development. But if you really need a complete solution you have to search for alternatives.

That's just a silly ideological statement. And it is not a matter of opinion - great swathes of significant and sophisticated software are written by devs using Windows. To suggest something more is 'needed' flies in the face of objective reality. By all means express your taste (mine also runs to Linux right now, though it's a marginal decision), but you'd be better off being aware that taste is just that, and only that.
Firstly, on previous variants, opposing the trim runaway with the yoke was sufficient to cut out the electric trim, but this was necessarily changed for MCAS-commanded trim changes. It is conceivable that a trim runaway might not be stopped by that action, but it is apparently highly unlikely -- such situations are apparently not part of current 737 simulator training [1].

This is significant, because stopping a runaway by opposing it with the yoke leaves the airplane close to being in trim, and toggling the cutout switches becomes a clean-up operation to prevent a recurrence. This, apparently, is as far as pilot simulator training for trim runaway goes. In the case of MCAS, however, toggling the swiches is the only way to stop it, and it leaves the airplane significantly out of trim.

This is what the Ethiopian Airlines flight crew did, but then they found it impossible to put the airplane back in trim because the load on the stabilizer jackscrew was resisting their attempts at manual trimming. This problem is mentioned in the documentation (though not, significantly, in the checkist that the FAA's response to the Lion Air crash directed pilots' attention to), but in that documentation, it rather vaguely says this might be a problem, and if so, it might be necessary to pitch the airplane further in the direction of the mis-trim to reduce the load on the jackscrew so that it can be cranked in manually. It suggests that several cycles may be necessary to complete the action.

If you are, as the Ethiopian Airlines crew were, at low alttude in an airplane mis-trimmed to dive, this is not a viable option, which is why they re-engaged the electric trim in the hope of correcting the problem. The article mentions a video, that was briefly available, of an exercise to test this scenario, in which the professional pilots struggled to maintain control.

It is clear from this that MCAS runaway is sufficiently different from the sort of trim runaways that pilots have previously experienced, either for real or in their simulator training, and this alone should arguably have been sufficient reason for additional training to prepare for MCAS failure. Even after the Lion Air crash, the response of Boeing and the FAA failed to make this distinction clear -- the message was 'this is merely a form of trim runaway, just like what you have trained for', which it is not.

And then there is the separate issue of not using both AofA inputs, apparently just to keep the lie that there was nothing about MCAS that pilots needed to know about.

None of the above is my own opinion - they are issues that professional pilots, engineers and safety experts have forcefully raised. Captain Dan Carey himself initially went along with Boeing's take on the issue, until more information about the issue came out. If you have contrary experience of 737 training and operation, your point of view would be most welcome.

Yup, I am seeing double as well.
No one opposing mandatory voter ID opposes this. But it's not what's going to happen.
The people you assume vote their self-interest have essentially zero effect via their individual vote, just like everyone else. I mean, if I said I voted for the Green party in every election ever, you would not be able to tell by the state of the country whether that is true, no matter who I am or what my economic situation is.

So I think you are providing illogical reasons for other people to have a certain pattern of illogical beliefs, which is like doubtful squared for me.

Edit: Maybe I would expect the pattern you describe, but I would describe the reasons differently, at least. It is fundamentally irrational to vote as though your vote affects anything, so perhaps the people who are successful and fulfilled through work would tend to be rational, and regard voting as personal expression - whereas people who are not so rational would be more prone to vote their self-interest. Then, of course, one would ask if the irrational in this sense are the groups you mentioned. I don't know.

Sorry forgot to answer your other questions, the style of house is called a Florida cracker shack, that being said it predates traditional cracker architecture and has some pioneer log cabin architectural features. I guess you could say it was proto-cracker architecture as most of the cracker architecture was late 1700 early 1800's.

Most of it is original, the wood stove is still in the house but used as a fireplace and was replaced by a gas stove. My uncle added AC back in the 80's. The only addition that I know of, was the addition of a real bathroom back in the 60's before that there was a outhouse located about 20 yards behind the back door. It's claim to fame is that both Elvis and Woodrow Wilson had both sat on it, it is dilapidated but still stands and yes I did sit on it as a child just to say I did.

Not waste disposal, nuclear disasters.

I think the waste problem is awkward but far from a dealbreaker for nuclear energy, especially with breeder reactors and other more efficient designs.

The problem is that even though nuclear reactors work the overwhelming majority of the time, such that disasters are practically a rounding error, when they happen they're rather spectacular.

What about with heavy gases and light ones like helium? Do they eventually mix completely in large atmospheres under a big gravity gradient?

I would think a mixture should gain kinetic energy as the heavier one settles more on the bottom, releasing photons from the heat which increases total entropy, but in a closed system where the photons are reflected back it would hit some equilibrium with heavier stuff at the bottom, but more kinectic and photonic energy which maybe both together give more degrees of freedom than a more evenly mixed mixture with less kinetic energy and higher gravitational potential energy.

I guess I don't agree with your idea that this is a reflection of the idea that it's a good thing to go after rich white people. The problem with analyzing college admissions to this point is that there's no one else to go after. By percentage, who else can you rag on? There's just no other demographic that's been going to college as long. In 2016 at least 57% of college students described themselves as white, which has fallen since the 1976 level of 84% [1]. And college has always been for the well-off, not the poor.

If you want to you could figure out how many white ALDC admits would get in if treated as African American non-ALDCs; I'd encourage you to then normalize across high school quality and expense, too. And looking at the lot of Asian-Americans in US college admissions is certainly important right now. For a quick peek, just look at Caltech's admits, since they have historically ignored legacy and race unlike everyone else.

But again, who else are you going to rag on if you're going to investigate the effect of legacy admissions and prof's children admissions? Due to the historic legal structure of the US it's just going to be really white. Fortunately for us ladies, men have daughters at a relatively high rate and we're allowed to go to college now so we can now benefit from unfair advantages too. (Again, it's instructive to look at Caltech, which did not admit women until the early 1970s and famously did not hire Emmy Noether because she was female. The percentage of women students has risen steadily as access to math and science education has become more available to the girls of the college-going classes of the US.)
