> However, we’ve spent time studying these risks… and we have negotiating power. We worked hard to find a company to work with us to protect users’ DNS data. And we found one: Cloudflare.

They have committed to throwing away all personally identifiable data after 24 hours, and to never pass that data along to third-parties. And there will be regular audits to ensure that data is being cleared as expected.

I think this is a fair and reasonable reason to land on Cloudflare if they are willing to cooperate in interest of the user and make their organization open to audits aligned to that.

I don't understand the hyped up hate on picking a default who is appearing to be going over the top as an ally for end users privacy, users aren't forced into staying with, and would be an arguably more transparent starting point than what people have today.
Thing is, it's not that Coca-Cola is fighting such legislation (which would be reasonable), it's that recycling organizations are fighting such legislation... because they're being partially funded by Coca-Cola; and this conflict of interest isn't really appropriate.

Let me quote you:
"That's what google like to think they are capable of, but the 2016 election says otherwise."

You said exactly that Google thought they were capable of predicting the 2016 election, and they predicted HRC (and by implication that is what they wanted) but the result proved that they were wrong.

Are you saying Google and it's fans (who?) think they have influence on elections, but they are wrong because of the 2016 results? And implicitly that they tried to skew the results against the GOP?
This article is the perfect summary of everything that's wrong with the existing HW development toolchains for FPGAs.

The best bit is the windows-only version of the Xillinx gooware that in fact installs a Linux virtual box on windows to finally get to run the tools it needs.

Oh, and yeah : there's a lame protection in there that checks it's running on a specific virtual box with a specific MAC address.

Amazing (not in a good way).
No, for that you need to pass a self argument. See my comment below about Abadi and Cardelli's book for a (reference to a) full development of the theme.
I think there are a few other factors to take into account, such as private jets flying faster on average, no layovers, etc. Looking only at flight hours doesn't really show the risk for an individual (e.g. an exec choosing between commercial flights and private flights). My guess is that the average exec is about as likely to die from one vs the other since the exec would spend more time flying in the commercial jet.

So it's really not a fair comparison and I wouldn't be surprised if they're functionally equivalent after taking into account all major variables.
I’ll go a bit further. The article was just rambling.
The article title is super click baity and the substance of the article doesn’t support it. They cited a bunch of studies to try to show that the job losses can be attributed to many things.

Why not compile the various studies and make an infographic showing the different ideas out there? It might be much easier to understand.
Why was this posted? It really offers nothing.

Sure young people don't have power or money. Should they? To get money and power you need to earn it over the course of many years/decades...and by that time, you will be considered 'old'.

Revolutionaries always want to steal money and power, instead of earning it..and try to convince you why someone else doesn't deserve it.

Sounds very similar to Mao and Hitler....
They would have every reason, not the least of which is a fear of further regulation of their operations.
This thing has so many bad points.

Ditch the app and have a simple remote control, one that can be replaced when it is lost. This thing will be obsolete as soon as the app is not updated. In fact, it should ship with 3 remotes.

Two HDMI inputs that are auto switching, and the TV should auto power on and off, like a monitor. One for the “sanctioned” streaming box (Apple TV, Amazon Fire), and another for Kodi based hardware.

Buttons on the side to access all functions when the remote is lost.

Might as well be 4K OLED too.
Adding my 2 cents on this since I've recently migrated from my old macbook 2015 to a System76 Gazelle (linux/Pop_OS). My comments are coming from the perspective of a web developer / trader (i make websites and trade futures+equities for a living) - with a Linux preference (i dislike Windows).

- Dell XPS_13
- Thinkpad (x1 carbon)
- Purism
- System76 (looked through all their laptpp offerings)

I chose Sys76 because I really wanted better hardware (I wanted _alot_ of RAM), which admittedly isn't a normal requirement for most users.

- Dell XPS 13 - totally anectodal, but I have a few friends who really dislike this laptop because of lots of little issues. Then again, I also know people who love it. My friend lent me his old one and I kept having issues with drivers and the OS just randomly crashing... so I passed on it

- Thinkpad X1-carbon - build quality feels awesome. I really like the trackpoint thingy, but the trackpad itself I thought was horrible. Also dislike the keyboard in general. I've read a bunch of mostly positive reviews though, so I might actually buy one to try in the future.

- Purism - seemed ok, but after looking at the hardware I could get on the Sys76 I liked the latter better.

- Sys76 Gazelle - Opted for this one since the hardware for the price seemed much better than the alternatives. Despite many people complaining that they're marked up Clevo's, I still found them the best when comparing price/hardware.

For about $2,000 USD, I was able to get what I wanted
- 6GB GTX 1660 (cuda)
- 64 gb ram
- 1tb nvme

Compared to the macbook, after a few months use, I honestly miss the mac. There's awesome things to this laptop, but at the end of the day linux just doesn't play nice with everything compared to macs. Slow lagging in general (mac is much more 'snappy') when doing basic things like opening and dragging window panes. Random weird behavior when plugging in peripherals (plugging hdmi will shift some of my fn keys around, wtf?). The keyboard is awesome, the trackpad is ok, but NOTHING compares to the mac's trackpad. The mac display blows the Gazelle's display out of the water. I can't use some apps - Sketch, etc.. on this since it's linux. Battery life is so bad it's laughable.

IMHO, there is no feasible alternative, just a series of tradeoffs only your personal needs can decide. I really wish apple would offer a true "pro" user option - let me upgrade my hardware. Weight/size be damned, I basically want a desktop I can carry in my bookbag.
Because UBI is the only welfare system that can't be gamed. How do you identify "workers who worked or trained for a job that has been automated away"? Non-universal welfare wastes a lot of resources on conflict between potential welfare recipients and the state, and it inevitably mis-categorizes people, which causes suffering either directly when the "deserving" are denied it, or via resentment when the "undeserving" are granted it.
Abadi and Cardelli identified some ways that this solution falls short—in particular, the self parameter isn't covariant—and how to fix them.
A twin engine jet will be lighter.
Interesting side note, Boeing does make private jets - the Boeing Business Jet family[0].

But Boeing executives doesn't fly on these, since they're too large for even CEOs. Boeing executives fly on one of the three Boeing owned Bombardier Challenger 650s [1][2][3].

You might find this interesting - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETOPS - That's part of what's changed the hub-and-spoke model of the past since twin-engine planes can now go much further from an emergency landing.
Again, this remote app only lets you control color profiles. Not sure how often you do that, but I never touch those settings after initial calibration. It's been 10 years with my current plasma.
The real threat to jobs is business process automation. The ideal is to change business processes to be like self serve gas stations where in the usual case the customer does all the labor required and the individual transaction never requires an employee's attention. Better sensors and actuators, embedded technology, and artificial intelligence to handle all the corner cases of the business process will allow 100% flow through for many other business processes. This will result in a significant decrease in administrative, back-office, and low level managerial jobs.

Trucking is just a nice example that is easy to explain to people. But the overall trend is much broader and more complex involving 100s of thousands of IT workers incrementally removing costs.
What makes the interview infamous? Did you mean famous?
WSL is miraculous. But Powershell is also very capable. I also highly recommend using chocolatey as your package manager. Makes it super easy to stay up to date with dev tools. It's nuts that the GitHub official docs still recommend Git Bash when git for Powershell works perfectly fine.

Are there any nationalized airplane manufacturers with a better safety record than Boeing?
All long haul commercial aircraft are twin engine now. The 747 is a relic and used almost exclusively for cargo now, and the A380 has ceased production. The game changer was new ultra high bypass engines like the GE90 that made the fuel savings of a twin engine configuration attainable by having sufficient thrust to replace four. Also with increased reliability, ETOPs regulations have allowed for twin engine jets to operate across practically any stretch of water. And with the decentralization of routes, the need for huge 400 passenger planes has gone as well. The future will be entirely twin jet.
Isn't that all that's necessary? Reduced power consumption implies less heat, implies potential for further miniturization

Too bad... I had high hopes for Purism.
While that's a reasonable suspicion to have, the reporting in this case
is accurate.

I'm from Charleston, where the plant is located, & I have several friends that work at Boeing in assembly and quality inspection. What you see in the video is exactly the same sentiment I've heard for years.
Apparently this etymology is plausible but still considered speculative. At the point that "golly" appears in the written record, it is no longer among the highest of blasphemies.
I don't understand how this was a software failure. From everything I've ever read about this issue, including this piece, the failure seems very much like a model & design failure.

It seems like a systems & human factors engineering failure. Not a software failure.
> It’s slightly ironic that were even having this conversation because the Chinese government is a (for all but a few) safe topic for Americans to criticize.

Those unsafe topics are multiplying and the distinction is that China is attempting to suppress speech in the United States. Any examples of the U.S. suppressing speech in China?

> There is no shortage of companies within the United States were criticizing say, Christianity would result in censure, but we don’t see that as a first amendment violation in the same way.

Don't follow. Christianity is openly criticized in the U.S., such as by media companies. See the Catholic Church pedophilia scandals for examples. Then imagine a similar scandal implicating the powerful being openly discussed in China...

If the Catholic Church was compelling the U.S. government to suppress speech in regards to its numerous scandals, you better believe that'd be a first amendment issue.
It's not an easy problem. It's a database concurrency issue and well beyond the skillset of most mobile devs. Database isn't even a required course for a compsci degree it's usually an elective.

My point is the problem you think you solved, you didn't and it will break under dozens of scenarios. Maybe the clients are happy and they think it works but you just haven't encountered the case where data goes missing or overwritten.

In other words what I am saying is it is wrong and hard to know it is wrong unless you directly attack it. The word "enterprise" is an euphemism for low cost and potentially low quality. It's a buzzword. I wouldn't take an Enterprise mobile developer over a B2C mobile developer just because of the word enterprise.

Not everything in the world should exist that leads to 737 Max. The word "sync" has implications way beyond the concerns of a mobile developer.

So I call bullshit; the fact the industry does it, that everyone does it, that you consider "real" mobile devs to require it, that customers want it doesn't mean it is a good idea or that it's mathematically or scientifically sound. It may cover most cases and nobody may notice the problems except once in a blue moon but that doesn't make it right because operational systems need full data integrity.

The correct way to handle such a request is not to "sync" but to collect data push it to the backend and let the backend sort out the mess. Not "sync" by whatever stretch of the imagination no matter what cottage industry or cult beliefs have been born of it.
If I ever took this flight I’d probably be stuck next to a screaming child, with a seat kicker behind me and a full flight duration seat recliner in front of me :D
Patrick (patio11) had a dream of working in Japan and a belief in a rational just world.

That dream and belief was shuttered when the reality of being an overworked gaijin for an uncaring zaibatsu settled in.

His ticket out proved not to be Bingo Card Creator directly but the articles he wrote on HN (and elsewhere) to boost the SEO for BCC.

Not knocking him in any way, I would probably be still stuck in Japan, falling asleep at late night metro every night.
Great feedback, thanks! We will make the pricing more transparent.
An oldie but a goodie.
What’s the connection between flight duration and number of engines?
I see what you mean - there is no evidence (at least in the transcript) that the problems were in response to a simulated system failure, and the actual MCAS seemed to work well enough when nothing was broken.
That might be true if the app was rated for all audiences; but most "shows you arbitrary Internet content" apps, including Tumblr, Facebook, and even alternative web browsers, end up rated 18+. It should only be adults using it; Apple's "pro-family" content controls should ensure that.
The Carbon. I think I have a blog post about it, but my overall experience with it was lousy - spongy keyboard, dim screen, atrocious touchpad... I could go on.

I love seeing these false statements on HN, where most users have no idea what the aerospace industry is like.
Yes, I disagree with some of Yang's views (and his proposed solution) and the general idea that we're living in the fastest age of technological process (I'm generally quite pessimistic if one tallies up the resources we keep using, the education we have and how little change there is), but many of the criticisms of Yang seem to be worse than the caution he brings to the table.

Even if Yang is only slightly right, and I do agree on some sectors like Amazon replacing brick and mortar stores and the erosion of mid-skilled work and good jobs, that can already be back-breaking for many developed economies, and in particular the UK and the US with their strong focus on deindustrialisation have already felt the effects.

One only needs to leave London for a few hours and travel the country and go to the poor places that were former hubs of industrial production. Many of the places are in astonishingly bad shape.
I think that is an incredibly bad idea, but do you remind them they are being recorded? Have prominent signs to that effect? Are there cameras in the bedrooms?
> - The keyboard has a numpad so home row is offset to the left

I'm personally waiting for one of their more powerful laptops to have a centered keyboard. The current models that feature centered keyboards offer 17W TDP CPUs, which just aren't quite enough for my taste.

vim disagrees.

Researchers design new material using artificial intelligence
> It isn’t like they are making decisions with the intent of compromising safety.

That really is actually exactly what they did and are doing. When you don’t do tests because you are confident something will pass, that doesn’t change that you aren’t testing, and you are compromising quality on the basis of productivity.
Here Boeing decided to go against the safe practice because that would have classified the plane as a different plane and incurred huge costs, but it would have increased safety and likely avoided the accidents.

They did compromise safety, they did so thinking that it wouldn’t matter because the overall safety would be good enough for no one to notice, but that gamble failed and others paid their lives to cover the bet.
I would be very very happy about that if it happened. It filled the gap where firefly was supposed to be.
Tor has its own traffic signature and so can be detected by network monitoring software. If it's on the IT network I help run then I'm tracking down the source IP and MAC and finding the network port it's coming from and asking "WTF?".

I'm happy to implement DoT on work's network to help encourage encrypted DNS. My problem is DoH can now be used by all sorts garbage and we can't tell it from legitimate HTTPS--which is by design.

All this for the laudable goal of protecting Internet surfers' privacy. However I'm curious to know how well this will work against the Great Firewall of China, and how many other regimes will now implement Great Firewalls of their own.
> Keep in mind Imgur is not a large company despite their high traffic, even at their peak of employees the engineering team was pretty small (probably about 12-15 people after series A)

12-15 engineers is small? I'd call that a full-size team, for any single project.

"Officially" Google makes an entire web browser with less than double that: https://www.quora.com/How-large-is-the-Google-Chrome-team/an...

Conway's Law in action here. If it were one person, it'd be one IMG tag. When you put 12-15 engineers to work making a social website for serving one IMG, you get this.

Like someone else suggested, the Dell XPS 13 is a good replacement as it's sleek and light. As for the OS, I would recommend ElementaryOS. It is a Debian/Ubuntu derivative, but it's aesthetic is specifically targeted to Linux users who are coming from the Mac experience.
The future will hopefully be electric. The amount of engines might rise again.
Reliability (ETOPS regulations), as well as the fact long hauls are usually fewer larger flights meaning they use larger aircraft.

Where are we going to come across a Bourne shell that doesn't like `set -e`? I accept that this choice might have been dubious 20 years ago, but we don't need to support SunOS 4.1.4 or SCO anymore...

We're talking about standards that were published in 1992-1994 and that the overwhelming mass of the industry followed relatively quickly. To hold back 25 years later is nuts.
Lenovo P1 and X1 look like they'd make great Linux laptops. Looking into an 8c P1 now.

Also, great keyboards.
Questions to ask, always.

Are capital and small letter I, large and small letter L, vertical bar |, and exclamation point !, clearly distinguishable.

Same for zero, large and small o.

Same for different brackets [ { ( <.

Same for colon, semicolon, comma, period.

If the font doesn't do this, then it's not very useful for programmers.

Extra points if multiple underscores, as in __FILE__ are separated so you can in the example count that there are two underscores before and after FILE.
> over the very long term, automation probably has played a role in limiting manufacturing’s share of employment in the U.S. Factories really have become more advanced and efficient since, say, the 1970s.

Can anyone at Slate read a chart? US employment in manufacturing as a percentage of non-farm labor dropped from 32% post-WW2 to less than 10% today [1]. This change didn't start "sometime in the 1970s", but has been a consistent downward trend post-WW2. The low hanging fruit of automation (from mechanical feedback mechanisms to programmable logic controllers) are all pre-1970s inventions.

And so what if different jobs are created for those that are lost? The article itself admits those jobs will either be lower paying or require more advanced education. Job re-training is mostly a myth [2]. No matter what, an entire generation of unemployed will suffer. I grew up in Detroit. I know what happens when the jobs base shifts.
