> stabilizer trim cutout is a memory item, it's not contained in a checklist

All memory items are contained (in written form) above the dashed line on the checklists. Memory item means crews are expected, trained, and tested to execute those actions prior to referencing the written checklists. It does not mean they aren’t on the checklist.

Maybe we should specify it to mean USB ports you can use for something without an adapter.

GDP != Value. HK continues to be the jurisdiction of choice for mainland companies wishing to do business with the west and vice versa because the rule of law increases people's confidence in the validity of any contracts signed.

The HK property and stock market is also where a huge amount of of Chinese money is parked.

Neither of these contribute to GDP but provide a lot of value to the mainland.

Were it not for the utterly ill-thought heavy handed actions of the East India company, governor and Lord North, the secession wasn't even wanted. They just wanted better representation within.

Poor handling, and particularly heavy handed handling, turned those moderates with a valid grievance into revolutionaries, and secessionists. The East India company was trying to screw over both Britain and the American colonies in equal measure.

There probably is a modern lesson in there, which is what results from overly draconian response, and something something overly powerful corporations.

Is not nonsense as most simple problems are caused by simple mistakes. Don't reflect your experience with computers and tools to the average user's experience.
These robots are commodities. The value in automation is not in the robotic systems themselves but the tooling, processes and fixtures of the factory. These are usually locally (or nationally) sourced. With a bit of work you could pretty much take out any Kuka robot, install a comparable ABB robot or Fanuc and go on with production.

Maybe one of the pins in the DVI connector is dodgy? Have you tried another connector/DVI cable/DVI source to rule out the display? I know you said it didn't happen in bootcamp but perhaps there's some deep magic happening.
Because we don't actually have any realistic alternatives yet and the ones proposed would be much more expensive than just dealing with the issues as they arrive.

There's a variety of storage ideas that just use any excess electricity e.g. Google X's Malta

There's various prototypes in testing but at least for short term storage I think lithium batteries continual price drop is leading the pack.
But it makes sense to ask that question! If I can rule myself on the sole basis of self-determination, it's turtles all the way down. Can Val d'Aran[1] secede from a seceded Catalonia?

Can I just ignore the rules of the country I live in on the sole basis of "a group of people sharing an identity" being people that are me?

The argument is worth having, because trying to secede part of a country unilaterally by "legal" means gets down to this absurdities.

One question that someone who wants to create a new country out of another, to put it that way, must ask should be "what can I give in return?"

If this is going to become a negotation, hopefully, then both parties must understand that there has to be compromises, and have to find common ground. Not just "this is my right because I say so", nor "this can't be because I say so".

Platitudes on liberty and justice and words that essential mean nothing lead us nowhere.

Okay. Gas peakers are not a sustainable alternative to renewables, so we're going to need solutions that cost more.
I believe there is an argument here worth discussing.

At the end of the day no matter how many people it is you are still taking away resources from the state (land, tax revenue, etc.) and creating issues with political consequences, border control, and all sorts of things.

How many people does it take to make such actions "acceptable"?

Further, allowing groups of people to just break away from the state and create their own systems, creates a threat to the state from all non-indigenous populations.

Why allow any immigration if newcomers are just going to be able to take your resources and land whenever they feel like it?

I agree that in a perfect world none of this would matter, but currently I don't see a scenario where any state would allow this, regardless of the number of people involved.
I got a pair of glass that filter some of the blue light for computer screens, it just add a very light brown edge to the colors.
On your first point, I agree if you’re talking about first party adapters. The issue is that a lot of people and companies buy third-party and those are a crapshoot.

At my office all Mac users get cheap multi port usb-c dongles and they’re terrible. The HDMI connections display content that’s too contrast-y and end up giving users headaches. It’s very frustrating.

I have been involved in companies that operate internationally and within China. What you can do is to have isolation modes. Separate email servers or providers for people who are going to be accessing emails from China. Mirror only the documents etcetera that will need to be accessed from China.

It's almost as if you have a spin off company that can request very limited access of information from the main one.

It's a bit more expensive but definitely worth it.
The price of energy is definitely trending to free in Australia due to renewables —- just not for every hour of the day, yet.

It’s not that electricity will be free when we get there, it’s just that consumers will stop paying for volume (how much energy did you use) and start paying for capacity / maximum demand (how much generation and network infrastructure was required to serve you).

I think you mean 'secession'. Anyway, what would be the minimum number of people to have the right for it? A region? A city? A 'barrio'? A family? A group of friends?
I was in mainland China (Shanghai and surroundings) in september for two weeks and HN was not accessible, probably because of the Great FW. So I doubt any HN instance is hosted there.
The KPMG take on this seems relevant:

Also, does anyone know how to access the Chinese text version of the standards? (I have friends who grok Chinese well, can pass to them for reading over)

The link from the article goes to a translation service which just wants to charge money for translation to English, with no way to access the original documents. Searching online so far just turns up similar translation services, without the original docs.
Interesting fact - it was not midnight in Greenwich at the Unix epoch because the UK Government coincidently ran an experiment with staying on British Summer Time the whole year round from 1968 to 1971.

Pro independent movements are quite against your first paragraph, according to discussions regarding either vall d’Aran or Tabarnia (two sub-catalonia independence movements, one based in history/culture, the other one in both jest (a la pastafarism) and anti-independence opinions.
No, obviously there would need to be a definition of what a legitimate secession movement is. There would be minimum population requirements I'd assume.
I don't understand why more effort isn't put in to micro nuclear reactors - if you can get nuclear to that scale it has potential to locate close to consumers and avoiding transmission losses and disaster scenarios are much more local

Not the OP but I too switch between lots of systems. The idea of reconfiguring each and every one of them, including work colleagues machines, physical terminals for on-prem systems, my wife Windows laptop and so on and so forth, just to fix a bad design on a singular work laptop, seems like insanely bad advice. Instead I'm going to order myself a Linux machine for my next upgrade and have my hardware function the way I find productive.

YMMV but the appeal of MBPs for me was never OSX/macOS but rather the build quality of their hardware. I don't feel that's the case any longer. I guess if Macs are your main platform then remapping might be a more favourable option but for people where the MBP is the outlier (like myself) changing everything else to fit is just bad advice.
1989 Tienanmen protests were ignited by the death of pro-reform general secretary Hu Yaobang and the perceived notion that the party had mistreated him.

They were the end of the movement that started with 1986 Chinese student demonstrations demanding academic freedom, freedom of speech and freedom of the press that he associated with the West. General secretary Hu Yaobang was removed because he did not try to crush these demonstrations and demands.

The 1989 demonstrations demanded continued economic reform and liberalization, but he demands escalated. Students wanted guaranteed constitutional freedoms, fight corruption, adopt a press law, and allow the establishment of privately run newspapers (as in liberal democracy)
In Bulgaria for businnes, you can get 1Gbps/1Gbps dual-line fiber (in case one gets broken) with 16 IPs for about 200-250 EUR/month. But I guess the price is negotiable and will differ.

Actually, if you use Processing with Android mode, it's pretty easy to create a simple app. I made something with circles falling down the screen that you have to tap and they explode in a nice satisfying particle explosion (it was mainly to test and demonstrate the surprising addictiveness of even such a simple game feature). This took about an hour, starting from a clean Processing install, including having to select and install (checkbox + button) the Android mode and writing about 50 lines of code. In all fairness, I'm already quite familiar with graphics programming with Processing, but even that is super easy, I teach it to kids starting from age 10-11 (if they're clever and curious enough).

But these kids, the clever and curious ones, they'll find this on their own too, and truly many more cool and free things to create stuff with online. A few years back, they were all over these free github student developer packs, especially the credits for a Digital Ocean droplet server, which they used to host sites, minecraft servers (IIRC) or Discord bots.
Well, no, it's not the Linux of 2000, it's worse than that, because it's closed source.

The GNU/Linux (e.g. the ecosystem) of 2019 is really fantastic. It keeps on getting better, and better, and better.

There may be a few missteps, maybe you don't like GNOME 3, but you can still use Xfce, or KDE, or LXDE, or i3 or whatever else if you want, no-one is stopping you.

By contrast, if Apple or Microsoft update the OS and make it wanky in some way you're SOL.

It honestly boggles my mind that professional software developers tolerate that kind of stuff. I guess if you're a web dev or you're 20 years deep into a career in a specific stack the benefits outweigh the costs.

I'm probably coming up on 15 years of *nix now. I do look back sometimes. It's universally terrible.
> ... it's an example of what happens when MBA execs, convinced that they can run "any business" take over from a rigourous engineering culture. The Harvard (and other) Business Schools have a lot to be blamed for.

Sadly, the culture problems brought by bean-counters are the very last thing that will see the light of day. They're really the "long story" root cause problem here. It's the same kind of mentality that lead to the Challenger disaster, new building collapses in China and countless other less dramatic failures of big projects and systems.

Don't hold your breath for anyone to held accountable, don't expect that business will learn a lesson from this.

Boeing’s argument (and I’m inclined to agree on this specific point) is that the existing stab trim runaway checklist was an appropriate and sufficient pilot response here.

Lion Air crew did it the day before to save the aircraft. The Ethiopian Air crew almost saved their aircraft by executing that checklist. They then turned the trim back on and for whatever reason only initially commanded nose up electric trim and then stopped, leaving the system powered.

Boeing has significant fault here, but I don’t agree that pilots were not trained to deal with a stab trim runaway (obviously). The crux is whether existing stab trim runaway training was sufficient for the MCAS equipped Max. Evidence suggests it was not.
It's marketing / advertising and nothing else. Sellers can jump through some hoops (buy ads) to qualify their product listing, but it has nothing to with any sort of quality vetting.
In that case, maybe you meant that secession is a right of peoples, not of people.
I know what this guy is trying to say about Apple, but it should be said that Linux isn't that way any more.

Really the last time I installed a Linux distro on a laptop it went wonderfully. I'm not even a Linux fan boy. I'm also not usually complimentary about things like this that should just be the norm. All that said, client side Linux is so much better than it used to be. It's a dramatic improvement.
False. Ground work for the Swedish economic growth was set in the middle of 19th century by the work of Prime minister Louis De Geer and his finance minister Johan August Gripenstedt. By 1920 Swedish economy was in top ten of richest countries in the world.
Do you think MCAS worked well in the event of a failed angle of attack sensor? I mean ignore fucking "stability" semantics.

Wrong. The article clearly states

"Immigrants account for 13% of the American population but 27.5% of those who start a new business. By their nature, migrants have more get-up-and-go than the average person—otherwise they wouldn’t move."

If not that is an argument for more immigration I don't know what is.

> Rights are inherently individual

Depends. If you talk about rights as given by some law, then the law subjects are the ones who bear rights. In some cases the law subjects are individuals, in other cases (international law) these are explicitly not individuals.
I'm uncomfortable with this argument. The implied conclusion is that nuclear is safer than coal. That may be true, I don't know.

But it's not clear you can argue this from historical data.

For comparison, you could argue nuclear weapons are safer than conventional ones, as they have killed fewer people, and that bioweapons are the least dangerous.

The issue is whether there is a tail to the distribution of nuclear event impacts (costs or fatalities), which we may not have seen much of empirically yet.

It seems hard to address that empirically with nuclear (although you could argue that perhaps the same is true for climate change for coal?)

100% agreed on the luck. I took my 2007 era MacBook to the Apple Store in 2009 or so for a battery that had begun to swell, and incidentally that had suffered from the notorious cracked top case issue. I had a friend that worked at the Genius Bar but he was busy with another customer so I just got luck of the draw with regard to technician.

Despite being out of the 1 year warranty without Apple Care, the woman who took my computer put in a work order to have the top case replaced and handed me a new battery off the shelf and rang it up $0.00

My friend was free as I was walking out of the store, and asked what it was I came in for. I explained about the top case and battery and when he realized I was getting the repair and replacement for free, he looked incredulous and said that he would've charged anyone for both of those without warranty or AppleCare.
There is not a single tech support issue which would make me get out of my slippers into some store.

I was one of the people constantly wishing flash would die. Although I am happy the open web won that battle, I was always hoping and am sad that nothing based on open standards came to replace it.
I do wonder if, for this reason, we're going to see a big uptick into recompilers soon instead of emulators. Creating a modern VM to replace an old VM is great because you can actually improve performance (compile using modern cpu extensions, OpenGL, etc), but reimplemented hardware as software is always going to be slow. It can run fast because hardware now is much faster, but we'll often do things an old cpu could do in 1 cycle in hundreds to thousands of cycles. Clocks haven't changed much in years, so if we're not taking advantage of multithreading or new extensions like we should, newer old systems will be tougher to emu. For the most part new emulators are looking more like VMs too.
