If flying becomes boring, it becomes a tedious job that requires a lot of mental fortitude to slog through. Boring jobs are dangerous, because human beings don’t do boring very well.

And I think we’ve already reached that point in aviation, as much of the work has been offloaded to automated systems, making it easy for attention to doze elsewhere, and making transitions to where manual intervention is unexpectedly required even more difficult. It’s the same with self driving cars: the only safe options seem to be no automation and all automation since humans simply don’t do boring very well.
There is something disturbing about the apparent disregard to legality of this project, if I'm being honest. there might be a better case if it didn't include games like Doom, SimCity, and Star Trek Judgment Rites (to name a few examples I checked for) that are still being actively sold (eg, on Steam and GOG)

> Never mind that at least one of the captains was trained in the US.

Point of fact, that captain did initial private pilot training in San Carlos in Cessnas — his airline training was at the airline. “US trained” in this context is similar to a doctor being “US trained” because he did an undergraduate degree in the US but his medical degree somewhere else.

1. When everybody is walking outside, instead of transiting through cars, it is a lot harder for pedestrians to be robbed. Also, police actually start caring more about pedestrian safety when so many people are walking. Walkable neighbourhoods can be a lot safer than the safest car-friendly neighbourhoods, with the right system.

2. As for carrying, based on my experience of living in a walkable neighbourhood where thousands of people lived within a kilometer of the central shopping area, a lot of people would bring carts that they would push their groceries home in. If you can push a small wheeled grocery cart through the total 100 meter aisles of the grocery store, then you can push a big wheeled cart the 1000 meter to your house on the sidewalk. Given that I often saw 80 year olds doing that, most healthy people should also be able to do it, no problem.

Do you think there are any viable financial instruments that would allow the little guy to not be bossed around by the threat of ruinous legal fees? eg: Insurance that would cover up to $100,000 in legal fees in the event that you are sued. (If everyone were required to have such insurance, it would be quite cheap.) Another option could be to allow the defendant to "double the stakes" and say, "If I lose, I will pay 2x the amount you are asking for. If I win, you must pay the amount you are asking for... to me." That would allow innocent-but-nonrich people to secure loans for legal fees. Heck, some firms might even "invest" in the defendant by charging a percentage of the winnings (if they are judged not guilty).

> Abrupt and large scale transitions will be an economic shock, bt will not 'crash the economy

Abrupt enough will, and my point is that we can only go as abrupt as possible without crashing the economy, because crashing the economy is immediate game over (climate change is only a pressing problem because it might eventually break our economy through war and resource pressure).

> suggesting that an abrupt transition away from fossil fuels is going to kill off most of the population is simple scaremongering

Well, I'm looking at how the world works today - how we've concentrated most people in dense cities, and how those people (meaning, us) can be fed only through a highly mechanized and fossil-dependent infrastructure. Oh, and through electricity and supply chains and GPS too. And, we have nuclear weapons now. It's not a matter if an abrupt transition can kill most of the population, it's only a question of how abrupt can we go without that happening.

role="combobox" autocomplete="off"
It was a tree-walking interpreter and slow. I had to switch it to a form that could be compiled. This took me down a year-long road of learning about machine code.

I would argue that the spirit of Mu has remained constant. Where it needs to change it does so without trying to stay 'compatible' with the past. It tries to present as little change atop the substrate as possible to be habitable (http://akkartik.name/post/habitability)

The old version is available at https://github.com/akkartik/mu1. I'll continue to support it.
I feel the same way; I know it’s a bit irrational but it’s really annoying and leads me to minimize trips. I especially don’t like that they will insist it has nothing to do with LP and is only to make sure shoppers saved as much as they were supposed to; I resent being lied to so blatantly. Sadly, this practice will continue to push the transition to online ordering.

Good question. 1) A MacOS virtual machine is probably illegal. 2) I need to test the builds on all three machines, and VMs don't handle OpenGL, USB drivers (e.g. for MIDI controllers), and audio drivers very well or at all. 3) I need to have a rough idea of performance of the build. VMs affect performance by non-constant/unpredictable factors. For example, CPU performance might be 1x the speed of a bare-metal OS, but graphics performance might be 0.25x. 4) I don't know how to write a shell script on a host computer that launches Windows 10 and runs commands with an MSYS2 Mingw64 shell.

Opendoor also has pretty negative reviews from everything I can find online. Would guess tech is hardly a component to this business - likely just some basic pricing models. Seems like the basic playbook is to lowball desperate homeowners, make a few thousand dollars worth of renovations (if at all), and then turn it around and try to sell it for a lot more. Not exactly rocket science, and definitely riskier in a downturn in their core markets like Las Vegas and Phoenix with relatively high supply as is.
If you look at the chrome sources you can find this flag:

const char kAutofillOffNoServerDataDescription[] =
"Disables Autofill for fields with autocomplete off that have no "
"crowd-sourced evidence that Autofill would be helpful.";

So, at least in a company, this should work to avoid autocomplete making corporate apps unusable.

another thing that seems to work for me, is adding role="combobox" along with autocomplete="off"
I've enjoyed Web Components; using LitElement (a WC subclass) feels like writing React with native browser APIs. Working with the browser instead of hacking around it.
Aviation accidents are typically about defense-in-depth being undermined (the "swiss cheese model"). The object of an investigation should be to find multiple vulnerabilities that could be fixed, at all levels. Focusing exclusively on one of them to the exclusion of others would be a problem.

Sullenberger says the same: "we need to fix all the flaws in the current system — corporate governance, regulatory oversight, aircraft maintenance, and yes, pilot training and experience."

But this doesn't mean any particular article can't focus on one problem more than others, so long as they don't claim it's the only problem.

Looking at the original article, the clickbait headline (typically not written by the author) pretends we can find a single cause ("What Really Brought Down the Boeing 737 Max?") but the subhead takes it back ("equally guilty"). The article focuses on problems at some airlines, Lion Air in particular, and alleged differences internationally in how airlines approach safety. Apparently that's what the author wanted to focus on?

So I guess it comes down to a difference in emphasis?

(author here) nah, pretty sure SAFTs are dead. The whole point of the SAFT rigmarole was to sell tokens as securities but not have them be securities on delivery, pretty much as Telegram was planning to do here - the point was not to be considered securities by the SEC.

This complaint demonstrates what the SEC think of the idea, i.e. they don't care and will look at how your token actually works and whether this is an investment contract under the Howey test.

But as I said - maybe Telegram will prevail in court! Do you feel lucky?

I wouldn't mind having good bread from time to time, but a loaf is well over 1000 calories, and it goes stale before I have time to eat that much. Frozen bread is difficult to cut, and even pre-sliced frozen bread is a pain to tear apart.

Somebody should make good bread that's pre-sliced into several chunks, with sheets of (e.g.) wax paper dividing them. Each loaf could also include a small resealable bag, so you always have a convenient container for the current non-frozen chunk.
Amazon has low margins, I think the theory with the PE is that they can increase margins after achieving market dominance and get better earnings. Walmart is still bigger so Amazon isn't there yet. And then it could also be high because of the cloud/tech bubble.
> Air travel is nowadays pretty safe, but this has been achieved over decades of trial and error, with each major error costing dozens if not hundreds of lives - not something we can affords with nuclear technology.

Why not? We accept aircraft accidents as one of the costs of air travel. Why do we not accept power station accidents as one of the costs of having power?

The worst nuclear power station accidents have killed far fewer people than the worst aircraft accidents. Why is one so feared and the other not?
It also parallels the billionaire philanthropy complex (and related tax avoidance) that Rutger Bregman called out at Davos, ruffling the feathers of the billionaires attending.

The Costco in Iceland is amazing. 150% of US prices, vs. 300-400% everywhere else.

In Hawaii (cost) and Puerto Rico (cost and quality) it is pretty amazing, too. In Puerto Rico there is basically no other good supermarket; the next best alternatives are a couple horrible local chains and Walmart/Sams Club/CVS/Walgreens.
Sam’s Club has similar clientele to Walmart and more shrinkage issues (I spend time regularly in all three stores.) The Costco difference is about the types of products that are sold, the locations, the brand, and the quality/wage of the employees, not the membership fee.

Proof-of-space rapidly goes to the price of the cheapest bulk storage, which is who can rent space on AWS cheapest, per David S. H. Rosenthal:

https://blog.dshr.org/2018/03/proofs-of-space.html

https://blog.dshr.org/2018/09/chia-network.html

> Note also that it is possible at low cost to rent very large amounts of storage and computation for short periods of time in order to mount a 51% attack on a PoSp/VDP network in the same way that "mining as a service" enables 51% attacks on alt-coins.

> For example, a back-of-the-envelope computation of a hour-long Petabyte attack at Amazon would start by using about 7 days of AWS Free Tier to write the data to the sc1 version of Elastic Block Storage. The EBS would cost $35/PB/hr, so the setup would cost $2940. Then the actual hour-long attack would cost $35, for a total of just under $3000.

Exactly this.

Statistically the most common cause of car crashes is driver fatigue.

Forcing undivided attention toward a boring subject for prolonged periods always results in cognitive fatigue.

I guarantee fatigue would be a similarly common occurrence in plane crashes caused by pilot error.

Either our planes should be flying themselves, or our pilots should be given cocaine before takeoff
If Filecoin works (still haven’t shipped), then it’s unclear whether it’s less wasteful than PoW. This is because coins are mined by using up hard drive capacity, whether or not useful data is stored. The theory is that it will be better to store useful data for people because miners will get paid for that in addition to the mined coins. You could have a situation where 99 percent of the storage used in Filecoin is storing junk.

You are straining to miss the point. Again, yet again, over again, once again, the question was what does

Homemade IC

mean? It might mean

Homemade Ice Cream

You what to say that IC usually abbreviates "integrated circuit" and nearly never "ice cream", and that is true but nearly irrelevant since the issue is what does "IC" mean in

Homemade IC

There

Homemade Integrated Circuit

is tough to swallow because making integrated circuits usually takes $billions and lots of highly dangerous chemicals, all super tough to do at "home". So,

Homemade Ice Cream

is actually MORE likely, even at Hacker News.

You can see this. It's grade school stuff. You are just having fun arguing against the obvious and are embarrassing yourself.
> whereas any automation would reduce build reliability.

I guess this depends on what your release process is; for example, most npm libraries benefit from CI that runs the build script and runs `npm version $TAG && npm publish`. There's not much that could be improved here, especially if the build script is just an alias for running `webpack`.

First TIOBE is driven by search traffic which is driven really by activity not popularity. That means that even say, masses of people migrating away from Groovy to Kotlin would generate huge search hits which would cause it to rise in TIOBE. (Note: I'm NOT saying that is happening, just that TIOBE doesn't rule it out).

But I also don't really agree with your conclusion that because Gradle and Jenkins aren't new that they could not be responsible for a rise in popularity. I think those are both ever growing projects (especially given Android depends on Gradle). So you get a continuous stream of people encountering Groovy.

Finally, yeah, there aren't too many high profile Groovy projects, but it is very pervasive as an embedded scripting option, and there are some new projects (eg: Micronaut) where its a great option. It can be found in a lot of places you might not expect (for example, I found out that Samsung's Smart Things are all driven by Groovy DSLs). It's also very powerful for full application dev, which I use it for. I think people underestimate its usage because it so often lives under the radar inside Java or other JVM projects. It certainly isn't too popular on HN, but HN is a very specific ecosystem and intersects very poorly with the "enterprise" world where Groovy would have a lot of its use cases.
I wanted to illustrate sillyness of the idea. Partners of a corporation are already represented, no need to represent the whole partnership.

24-Hour Solar Energy: Molten Salt Makes It Possible
The main concern are arsenic and mercury which accumulate in bottom feeding sea critters some of which we eat (mainly shellfish and shrimp). The uptake of uranium are thorium in marine species is rather low, but yes, burning coal also spreads radiation. Some of the byproducts of nuclear fission (I131, Sr90) are more dangerous because they tend to stick around in our bodies. Uranium and thorium get excreted but the first one is also toxic.

Of the two Radon isotopes, one has a half life of 55 seconds, the other 2.5 days. The main problem are its decay products: Pb210, Bi210 and Po210. It's better to vent it off into the atmosphere than to let it accumulate in mines and basements.

The ability to allow apps to use your location only while you're using the app is particularly useful. iOS has had this for a while now.
Updates are a vehicle, what people want is new shiny things and their pains eased.

In my experience, people don't want updates until they want some emoji, app, UI animation etc. that is highly desired but they cannot have it.

When they encounter such a situation, they hate it and feel bad for their poor choice of device. It is very off-putting when you cannot have that small thing that all your friends have without making a serious investment of time and money to upgrade to a new device.

iOS users very rarely have those bad experiences, when the new iOS is out even many non-technical users will get excited because they will be exploring the new shiny features and designs with their friends and nobody is left out. If some feature is missing, they will understand that their device is old but they will still get some shiny things and almost never missing stuff that is alienatingly bad.
Even if you are toning down your proposal, you still seem to argue for something that resembles an extreme police state.

Strip away the sci fi terminology, replace the space lasers with police armed with sniper rifles, and replace the tasers with batons, and you have technologies that are available today (except for the surveillance needed to identify the offenders, but for that part, you could have the super-AI needed foor the task feed informatino to the police instead of to satelites/drones.)

While efficient law enforcement is important, "perfect" law enforcement is likely to cause more harm than it will prevent.
