No.

I understand your reasoning completely.

One major assumption that your reasoning relies on is that: human can't adjust their sleep cycle at all.

My unscientific assumption is that we can adjust our sleep cycle to be earlier. But it'll probably take time and effort to do so though.

When I say sleep cycle, I mean: I usually go to bed at 2am, and I want to go to be at 9pm. Can I slowly adjust my body to achieve that?

> After going through that experience, I'd caution people about buying into the no-trigger method. Yes, your brain will naturally get you the amount of sleep that you need. However, there is no guarantee that your natural sleep cycle will mesh with the other obligations you have in your life.

It seems you agree that the no-trigger method is good if we only consider health.

"why we sleep" convinces me that sleep deprivation (even a little) is bad. Essentially, it's a trade-off between damaging your health vs. obligations. This tradeoff is difficult to quantify, so it depends on how you perceive value in each.

Another way that I think about is: the mistake is "going to bed late". You already made the mistake, but you still can choose the punishment. You can choose to damage your health OR you can choose to fail the obligation.

Of course, a better way to avoid all this dilemma together is to go to bed early.

I'd suggest the no-trigger method as the way of life and re-arrange your life to fit the no-trigger method.

I'd be careful about using Financial Times as a source. I've seen so many articles about this not written by aerospace people and full of errors.

The flight data recorder showed that the pilots had successfully countered the MCAS input more than once with the electric trim switches. In the Lion Air crash, the pilots successfully countered it 25 times. At any one of those times, the pilots could then have turned it off with the cutoff switches. My source is Aviation Week, Aug 19, 2019.

It says: "Electric trim input will stop the automatic nose-down stabilizer movement" on a bulletin Boeing issued on Nov 6, and goes on to say "The only way to stop the cycle is to follow the runaway stabilizer checklist and toggle the console-mounted cutout switches."

This was apparently done by the previous Lion Air flight which encountered the same issue and landed safely.

The Ethiopian Air pilots also successfully used the electric trim switches to override MCAS. After two cycles of that, the pilots did think to throw the cutout switches, but with the nose down. They should have trimmed the plane to normal with the electric switches, then throw the cutout switches.

All according to AW, which I am much more inclined to believe than other reports, until we see the NTSB report.

Elasticsearch may not be fundamentally flawed, but it sure is flawed!

It's operationally unpredictable, even if you know all the corner cases (like field cache sizes) and JVM flag tuning voodoo. It's notoriously memory-hungry, and its networking is notoriously unstable. I've had issues where minor network blips throw the entire cluster into a weird quantum state where nodes are up but the cluster is down.

One particular annoyance with ES is that, once it starts having issues, it often becomes completely unresponsive, and its actual status becomes difficult to understand. You often can't access endpoints like /_cluster/health, /_cat/shards, etc. to diagnose, and meanwhile the logs are spewing inscutable Java stack traces that are of no help. There are clearly weird bottlenecks inside ES which fail in extreme circumstances.

It's gotten better. The consensus protocol was brittle and unsound for many years, and has slowly been patched for robustness, but I wouldn't say it's been fixed. ES is much more unreliable than many other clustered systems. The only one that comes to mind as being as unreliable is RabbitMQ.
Extensions were important to filter when Windows explorer was still lacking rules to forbid file execution based on provenance, but was already defaulting to a) hide the file extension and b) display whatever pixels were embedded in an executable as the file icon.

But it’s a very naive and limited conception of intelligence that equates intellegence strictly with mathematical reasoning (and perhaps experimentation).

There are many forms of intellect. For example, plenty of people that excel in mathematics and physics have a horrible time of expressing themselves linguistically and are usually not very good at socializing.

And let’s be really honest then: the vast majority of people that are good at rigorous studies and “hard” sciences are actually people who don’t question accepted beliefs—they use an entire framework of reasoning without ever questioning it on a day to day basis. Hardly skeptics. In fact one of the best qualities you can have as a scientist is to follow mundane proceedures without questioning a thing and regardless of the changing circumstances.
There is the concept of a polymath. There is overlap in that group with autodidacts (people who can teach themselves about anything if they only want it badly enough).

I think Paul may be falling prey to a correlation issue here.

If you are an autodidact and a polymath, are you more likely to end up as a scientist or engineer, or as a professor of French Literature?

Very few people in the CS program understood why I was contemplating 300 level French classes (I placed out of 4 semesters of french, and that left 2-3 200 level classes and then you were into the hard stuff). A lot of them could not have 'suffered' through twelve semesters of French, no matter how much you bet them.
I think it's the opposite. There are scientists who are obsessed with finding extraterrestrial life because of their philosophical views regarding man's place in the universe. The fact that our universe seems primed for life has bothered so many gung ho atheistic scientists that they've conjured all sorts of semi-pseudoscientific multiverse theories (Sean Carroll). That's one part of it. The second part it's reducing abiogenesis to a simple process that just "takes time" and is almost inevitable. The goal is to try to shove bare faced facts into a dusty drawer while you trot out the latest sensational theory. This is why there's been constant attacks on the Big Bang theory even though it's one of the triumphs of modern cosmological science. It all becomes so easy to justify when you define science as "what atheists believe."
> This was changed in the 737-MAX, if you turned on electric trimming you'd also turn on MCAS.

The electric trim switches override MCAS. This is according to Aviation Week, Aug 19, and is consistent with Boeing's bulletins on the matter and with the pitch profile from the flight data recorder - both sets of pilots had overridden MCAS with the electric trim switches in multiple cycles before their crashes.

If I'm reading the report correctly, it's not clear they ever replaced the cables. The plane was new to the fleet (and was the only plane with stainless steel cables), and "Air Moorea specified on the parts follow-up documentation that the life of the rudder and elevator cables was
limited to one year (operations in saline atmosphere) from 2 October 2006" (the cables had been checked and re-installed prior to handover). The accident occured 9 August 2007.

Furthermore, even if they had known, it's not clear it would have made a difference:

> Twin Otter cables can be made of carbon steel or stainless steel. These two types of cables are interchangeable on the airplane. Their inspection and replacement programmes are the same although their behaviour is different: carbon steel cables are more sensitive to corrosion, stainless steel to wear.

> The checks required by the manufacturer are based on the number of flying hours performed or on the calendar and not on a number of cycles. This inspection rhythm is well adapted for the phenomenon of corrosion but not for that of wear.

Absent their own experience with the cables ("Several operators had adopted special inspection intervals closer together than those mandated by the manufacturer"), would they have changed anything?

Not that I think there's a conspiracy, I don't think one has to try very hard to imagine reasons why the powers that be would suppress such discoveries.

Consider for instance how many US citizens are still religious today, and largely govern their lives according to religious beliefs.

> There's no evidence MCAS upset looks exactly like runaway trim in every case

If uncommanded trim motor action is forcing the airplane into a dangerous dive, it's runaway trim. The pilots must have thought it was runaway trim as they were desperately trying to counter it.

> So I reject the categorical claim they could have recovered with the flip of a switch.

But that's what did happen with the previous LA flight that landed safely.

> it was the only way to get electric motor assisted trim to try and get out of the mistrim.

That's right.

> But MCAS immediately triggered again

The electric trim switches override the MCAS.

So why didn't the EA pilots do that override? I don't know, neither do you. We'll have to see what the NTSB report says.
