This doesn't have anything to do with inherent instability.

There's not enough information around that I can find to give a concrete answer as to what was found under high speed, high bank angle and high AoA as would be tested in a Wind-Up Turn. Some things I've seem mention it's a simple 'stick-force-per-g' test. Other things I've read suggest there was maybe flow separation under these conditions, which would point to accelerated stall.

What we can say is accelerated stalls are stalls that occur at higher airspeeds than the aircraft would otherwise normally stall due to increased g load.

In the specific example I mentioned above, I believe (I can find scant info on this) that additional handling augmentation was required because of the non-linear force on the control column when conducting the wind-up turn. To be certified I believe the 737 Max needed to return a linear force input requirement throughout the entire wind-up turn.

Another comment has pointed out that it is a basic requirement for all aircraft to have this linear feedback curve, so this wasn't just specifically to make the 737 Max handle like other 737 under this particular scenario (though apparently it did evolve to that under other conditions but I'd have to look into that further to be sure).

Again, this is not about inherent instability.

There are some comments out there on the web I've seen that point to there being some issues at slow speeds and high AoA. I'd love to get more info on both things if anyone has it.

But really, we have to use the correct language for the field we are talking about and that means understanding stability/instability are specifically defined and relate to a very specific thing.
That's correct, I chimed in with a rotary phone input https://twitter.com/jmcfreeman/status/724012572861718528

but I literally just built this project https://github.com/peterszerzo/rotary-phone and recorded it. It handles the rotation input very well.
I don't think it's too unfair to read deeper into Marc's motives. Salesforce has never been interested in noble pursuits like making high quality products. They've been interested in creating moats to rent seek off of. They've been interested in promising functionality, then making it too hard for clients to leave once they find out its deficiencies.

To that end, I'm sure Marc wants regulation because he knows that paying lawyers $5m a year to adhere to them is no big problem for Saleforce to pay, but it will sure as hell prevent Paul Graham from being able to seed a new company to disrupt Marc's fortune. And he will quote whatever statistic is necessary to accomplish that goal.
I mean, the GP and most people who hear "fighting the Windows update cycle" assume you mean "fighting against being forced to interrupt your work and reboot to update" (the constant complain among Windows users) rather than something about intentionally avoiding new versions of the OS.

If you were an OS company and it were possible to force everyone to be running on master (and thereby not have any security vulnerabilities), wouldn't you, too?

But even then, this isn't true:

> It’s Windows latest or bust

Windows IoT Core is pretty stable. Wouldn't want your ATM or billboard rebooting every night. There are folks at Microsoft who remember how to do LTS software. They just don't think it's a good idea in a consumer product.
What kinds of accidents is autopilot going to prevent that automated accident avoidance cannot? Why does it have to drive the car to achieve the safety benefits?

If you watch videos of autopilot preventing accidents on YouTube, it involves two stages: first the car detects a situation is likely to lead to a collision, then it brakes and steers the car to avoid it. There is no reason for autopilot to be controlling the vehicle before anticipating a collision.

By contrast the deaths involving autopilot have all revolved around autopilot failing to perceive some object, or swerving the car into it. I don't know of any deaths that were caused by Tesla's accident avoidance feature.
I'm interested in this idea. How could something like this exist and be structurally independent from the USG to avoid all of the good points in the comments below this post? And while I think they are good and obvious concerns, they don't exclude future thought on the subject.

But what would this take? If there were municipality-owned servers that allowed for basic email how could abuse be prevented? Make it an open source project with public inspection allowed to prevent abusive manipulation of data? E2E throughout the system? What would this take? Someone has to have thought about it before.
I'm inclined to agree because of one contradiction in the issue: they say they got an email when they were banned but then they say they can't access their Gmail to provide proof because they were banned. Either your account stays unbanned for a few minutes so your Gmail can sync in which case it should still be available offline, it's on another email which they can still access, or they're lying.
As a westerner, I just do not understand what they think they are doing. Why are they wanting to control every element of every persons life?

They are even reading the brainwaves of children in schools.

This pretty much is piracy - streaming videos without paying for them to the creators.

For some strange reason not paying for YouTube content and bandwidth seems to be just fine here on HN as opposed to doing the same on iTunes or other services.
Hang in there. I think mine might have mostly figured out how to sleep from bedtime to 6:30 now at almost eight months. I hope.

That is, when he doesn't wake himself up by bumping his head on the side of the crib, or having a nightmare (I guess?), or just being a baby.
I honestly hate this "false baseline" story line that applies to almost all anti AI/automation comments. A person who is focused may be better than self driving vehicle but even that is debatable. However, given real life self driving are already much safer than real life human drivers. Think about pedestrians and bike rider safety too!!
Breaking Down the Pitch Deck
That article is just an opinion piece by self proclaimed expert who is just a recreational pilot.
It is not necessary that I agree, but probably that the Telegram offering is not a security. Sure, "all they had to do was file" but that is a pretty onerous requirement if you think you're not a security, and hugely restricts your market.

The Telegram token may increase in price but there's no profit sharing directly from Telegram. It's as if you funded a kickstarter for a limited edition trading card and the company was going to soon start printing more.

Nobody is actually commenting on this argument. It just seems like there's a team of people following me around downvoting me.
you're not the target market, which is people who want to be spoon-fed "safe" popular plant choices with instructions. I definitely think it's a viable market for a small business.

(I totally agree though, I suspect many of these plants will die in short order)
I guess I'll add context since I've been "well akschually'd".

There was time planned for this in that we were updating MariaDB and we had estimated extra time for unforeseen problems.. The defaults changed to strict, I realized we had severe data integrity problems and as the senior developer on the team I made the decision to turn off strict mode in production and turn it on in QA and our dev environments so we can prioritize the integrity of the data.

This is literally my job as a senior developer. If this is not what a senior developer is for in most companies, it goes back to what I said before about not being built for such environments. I made a judgement call here, and I'll continue to defend that judgement call as me doing my damned job.

Maybe in your world data integrity sits behind the newest dropdown on the UI, but not in mine.

But the thing is, everyone was ok with it until about a week later when this VP sent it down the line that I was to be reprimanded for "behavioral" problems because they mistook me asking questions as me not wanting to do the work.

And I got reprimanded, and then the QA environment wasn't changed because this reprimand was insisted on by a VP, my direct manager was forced to do it, and then ignored it afterwards.

I'd rather go back to working for myself than to deal with this shit.

edit: as for why strict mode wasn't on before, this application was developed by an incompetent. To give an example of the level of skill that built this app.

I once came across code the following (psuedocode):

foreach(object)

sql += generate_insert_statement(object).

$parts = split("INSERT INTO", sql);

foreach(part from parts):

sql = "INSERT INTO" + part;

do_query(sql)

I've been tempted to send in submissions to the daily WTF on more than 1 occasion.
Read to the bottom of the answer on that page. Yes, the wind-up turn issue appears to have been the motivation for the initial introduction of MCAS, but (I have read elsewhere) the first version of MCAS did not yet have the motor torque required to override the pilot's force on the controls. But a second issue was found which occurred at low speeds — the article doesn't say what it was, but I'm fairly sure I've read somewhere that there was an actual instability — and in response to which Boeing expanded the allowable amount of stabilizer movement and removed the high-g sensor condition for MCAS to activate.

While I don't claim to know the truth of the matter, I think it's premature to assert forcefully and unconditionally, as you have been doing, that there was no actual instability anywhere in the flight envelope. What I recall having read is that during climb, if the pilots took the AoA to a certain point somewhat higher than the normal range, pitch-up forces would increase to an unacceptable degree. Now, I may have misunderstood, or the source (sorry, can't find it) may have been misinformed. But unless you can find me an authoritative, independent source specifically contradicting this possibility, I am not willing to dismiss it, and I don't think you should be waving it away either.
If you take a very simplistic model of how the economy works, this is true.

The problem is when you get into a situation/equilibrium where enabling business practices that you consider to be bad for society as a whole is the rational choice because anything else will just leave you out-competed by someone else who doesn't care.

I am not saying that this makes it OK to do whatever because "everyone does" or "if I don't, someone else will", I'm just saying that appealing to individuals to just "do the right thing" has almost never worked to efficiently/swiftly bring about changes like this.
The prices are “in whack” for a sufficient number of people, as evidenced by the transaction clearing.
> So don't take out a mortgage that you can't afford to pay off.

Are you implying that you shouldn't take out a mortgage that you can't pay off without a job? That makes no sense at all. I'll admit you shouldn't take out a mortgage that you will default on if you're out of work for 1 month, but plenty of people wind up out of work for longer periods of time.
I prefer books in paper though, better for my battered eyes...

BTW really hate those everything-as-subscription business models. Good thing they still have those. I'm afraid that they will disappear in 10-15 years.
Windows is doing a good job of ruining file management/Explorer in Window 10

I’m very skeptical of this authoritarian market logic whereby we are told we must sacrifice others lives for the sake of “progress,” which is almost exclusively tied up with one person or business’ individual profit.

While I don’t think autonomous cars are a particularly good investment for the future of transportation, does anyone doubt that with massive, publicly-funded investment we could not achieve them? And what’s more on terms where whatever “costs” were associated with them were subject to democratic checks and debate?
It changes the equation enough to make it not worth attacking.

Also allows you to hold out long enough to import more weaponry from sympathetic regimes.

Plus drone based weapons are cheap and effective.

If you send all of your company’s plan unencrypted from New York to London, you have a much larger problem. Any intelligence agency worth their salt should be gobbling up as much as traffic as possible.
I don't have an Economist sub so can't read the whole piece and didn't bother reading the paper but the strategy of using nouns rather than verbs seems very familiar.

When writing this is called passive writing. In verbal communications when trying to effect something is colloquially known as passive aggressiveness.

Defining new nouns as abstractions is also key to the practice of dehumanization. None of this seems remotely novel.

I would be interested in studies that correlate brain activity with receiving predominantly verb/active vs predominantly noun/passive communications. Maybe the piece gets into work in that area, I don't know.
You mean melting the salt using electricity with excess capacity?

I'm not an expert but I'm guessing we don't do this because the process of converting heat back to electricity is pretty inefficient. I think I saw someone say you only capture 1/3rd of the energy when you do that.

However, if you're already starting with heat and need to convert it to electricity, you can just store it for later conversion.
Those are called "election". The entire idea of an electoral democracy is that you have them once in a while, so the government stays aligned with the public wishes.

it's actually ~ $1 per month
1 a month quickly scales to unwieldy numbers if you are able to keep your plants alive, unless this is aimed at the disposable "fast fashion" part of plants?

I've recently come to believe that most people are really bad at taking care of plants.

Those cute little tropical things at the garden center? If well-cared-for, they will grow into 8-foot-tall (a little over 2 meters) monsters that live for decades. There's no way there's a big market for 8-foot jungle plants. Even those tiny little Haworthias and Echeverias will start to outgrow their cute little nursery pots within a few months.

People must be keeping them in small pots, over/under-watering them, and never re-fertilizing the soil.

Case in point, when I broke up with an ex and she moved out, she took the Cycas because it was "hers". It had just started sprouting a new set of fronds. Those things are really easy to take care of -- just give it some water like every 2 weeks, give it light, don't let the cats chew on it. Within 3 weeks she had somehow managed to hurt the thing to the point where the new fronds had gone totally brown and soon withered away completely. My guess is she thought it looked dry and overwatered it. I eventually took it back and it's made a full recovery since then.
I certainly don't wrap my life around my Google account, most of my important accounts have secondary emails tied to other service providers and other means of contact that Google has no control over (yet).

I'm always amazed at how quickly people jump into these massive corporate product/service ecosystems gung-ho as if we haven't learned anything about large business behaviors (including technology companies) over decades and decades of history.

You should always remember that a business has one goal: to make money for its shareholders. Anything and everything else is a side effect, so if you can forsee any goals you have utilizing a business product/service ecosystem not in direct alignment with a specific businesses' shareholders' interest in profit, then you should hedge your bets and have backup plans if you interconnect important aspects of your life with that business.

To me, this includes career paths which is why it's always fun to see businesses get heavily entrenched in AWS or some other ecosystem when their needs don't even require the benefits AWS actually provide. I'm singling out AWS because that's the case I'm dealing with on current projects at a current employer but it applies to any similar ecosystem.
This looks a little unfair to 2000's Linux fanboys (which of course included me): The well maintained, comprehensive, tested list of software, mirrors and checksums that Debian had and inspired other distros to emulate were a godsend compared to downloading a code tar file and hunt dependencies manually (when not modifying code yourself), you were always free to use other channels, but other channels were just usually worst; all other points seem to have similar nuances, from a user point of view situation is similar but is actually a real problem out of scope of developers (Linux) vs. Apple just being jerks.
SF has built more units of housing per capita than NYC for seven of the last ten years that I have data for.
Maybe this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gods_(video_game)
> by which you mean Houston, since it's the only one.

Well, and Minneapolis, and Grand Rapids (which has had no SFH zoning for over a decade straight now, but despite this, has had endured a ~2.5x increase in housing prices, and almost a 2x increase in rents). But yeah, Houston is a perfect example of this too.

And of course, 70%+ of all cities in the Midwest have no enforced zoning. They have zoning laws on the books of course, but regularly waive them with variances for almost every project that requests one.

I get that in California specifically, zoning rules actually have a little bit of bite, so in California specifically, fighting zoning rules might be a good thing, and HN is very California-centric, so people's opinions on topics are heavily influenced by their local situation.

But California is not the whole of the US, that tactic won't work anywhere else, because by Californian standards, the rest of the country effectively already has almost no zoning. (Either literally, or effectively through waivers/variances).

Every other mid-sized-or-larger city in the US is already in "build baby build" mode 24/7, and it's only ever increased prices everywhere it's happened. This should be clear to anyone who has ever paid for an property assessment -- property is valued almost entirely by the cost of the nearby property. The more valuable anything nearby gets, the higher prices everyone will have to pay.

Actually I'm going to ask around if I put book purchase under some of my expenses. Might be a bit hard as I work as a BA but am interested in more technical stuffs.
Engineering-wise, no. It's just a question of conversion efficiency and cost. Use electricity to heat up a thermal store (molten salt), pull power from the thermal store via generator. But how much does it cost, relative to any number of other storage mechanisms that do basically the same thing - but particularly batteries?
Love the preview you get when you hover over an app icon in the taskbar.

I'm not sure why Apple hasn't added this as a native feature. Hyperdock has had it for years.

I even wrote my own little proof-of-concept version of it:

> If you cheat in one game sold through Steam, your entire Steam account gets banned/penalized, not just your access to that one game.

Actually it depends on the anticheat system used by the game. Anything from Valve will use VAC, and cheating in a game using it will ban you from all games using it. Other games uses EAC, others BattlEye, etc. You won't get banned from all multiplayer games that you own.
$1 a day for an email account? That's ridiculously expensive not just from an ad-paid perspective (gmail etc) but also compared to the market rate for reliable, feature rich fully paid by user services. Pay a tenth of that and you are already far away from the cheap end of that market.

And either people will have enough plants and cancel, or they'll get sick of plants dying and move onto something else.

I think the only sustainable market is first-year college students. Small, drought-resistant, shade-tolerant plants for shelves and windowsills in a dormitory. Constant rotation of new people moving in every year. Could be a nice stable market.
You're exactly right. It's been my experience from community moderation that you can give people an itemized list of things they did that led to a response, and often all they'll take away from reading it is the one item they have a strong emotional reaction to.

We have a lot of evidence it works on small scales (something like half of marriages work out). That might seem silly, but I would call it "minimum viable Communism".

I'd like to see a concerted effort for many small-scale communes (sub Dunbar's number) to be more legally viable in the US.
The problem with Communism at scale is that the logistics and planning beurocracies end up authoritarian, but it seems optimal at smaller scales.

Our implementation of capitalism has experienced a lot of regulatory capture and that needs some work. Democracy and capitalism are also totally compatible with a bit more public infastructure and an a more accessible healthcare system.
This is why one of the next major milestones in UX technology evolution needs to be a new step in haptic interfaces: programmable physical surfaces, where textures and raised edges can be brought into existence to serve as guides and wayfinders, just as the rotary dial catch did.

I don't get why people are up in arms over this: the average person drives like an I D I O T. A Tesla auto-pilot drives above average. And right now they are driving the worse they will ever drive.

Therefore: more auto-pilot, less human death.
