Surprise surprise, a business owner that doesn't like unions. Who would have thought?

Get out scab.
Regardless of where you stand, that is some garbage reasoning.

The free market pays a banker more than a cancer researcher, therefore government must take from the banker and give to the researcher for... Reasons.

The problem with that is, while the banker has made jobs possible and allowed people to buy houses...a real and immediate value, the researcher hasn't healed a single person.

Then, one day, the researcher finds the cure...and then gets paid more than 1,000,000 bankers put together.

We cannot apply an equal value to "trying to do good" and actually doing good. That's not the way the world works.

This is a sensational story based off of a shallow if not deliberate misreading of statistics. They point to an increase in raw number of deaths and say that the rate is increasing - completely leaving out population adjustments like density and raw numbers increasing. The only rate discussion is in a graph that shows % inside vehicle fatalities vs % outside vehicle fatalities. With cars becoming safer of course the % of outside vehicle fatalities will rise since the human body isn't becoming more resilient to car crashes at the same rate.

Also they didn't do any looking into the circumstances of death, as mentioned by throwGuardian - I suspect cell phone related incidents are on the rise.
It's possible to extract much much more information [1] than DNS queries for an ISP with off the shelf products, they don't really need your DNS queries for that (yes, DoH people are lying like crazy that it improves privacy). What ISPs do care about is keeping control over DNS, being able to use it for address translation, routing around problematic servers, blocking and intercepting domains, etc.

[1] There is lots of stuff leaking all over the place in IP packets passively, not just IP addresses, but like website identifying TLS metadata in case it shares IP address with other websites, user machine and OS identifying metadata, etc. Also when you visit a website, you make requests not just to a single IP address, but also to a bunch of other IP addresses specific to the website to load resources that the page includes that send back responses of specific size and all of this is nicely clustered and mappable to a specific machine you were using. Even if you hide TLS metadata, it only takes a single user visiting a website in the open to identify all the rest who did too and that user can be a headless browser going through alexa top million websites. Active probing is yet another thing that can reveal a lot, ISP can connect to the same port from your IP address, send various things to figure out the protocol and so on, that's how all kinds of obfuscation can be detected.

1438 is pretty far back, before the Renaissance. I seriously doubt carts or coaches were "common", as in every commoner owning one. I'm sure they were around, for carrying goods, doing construction, etc., but this is more like how, today, we have dump trucks and utility vehicles, but the number of dump trucks per citizen is very small. It's just not like today's car-based societies (esp. the US) where every person expects to own a car and use it for getting around.
Different ones for different lengths of time. I just go on Craigslist every now and then and when I find a good one nearby I snarf it up.

So much legislation consists of "add the following text to USC 1.23: 'blah blah blah'" that I'm surprised there isn't something like this for pending bills.
This doesn’t affect the game theoretic optimal decision making for other companies, since the executives who made these decisions were paid a long time ago and rode off into the sunset. We need to punish individuals for the decisions they make. Create a legal framework to claw back 10x the money they were paid, leaving them in a studio apartment eating ramen noodles. You don’t have to burn people at the stake to create a deterrent level of punishment, but the company suffering doesn’t matter since the execs responsible have long since fled.
I agree with this opinion fully and I find it odd that the OP you replied to doesn’t call for the federal agencies that were conducting unconstitutional surveillance to be held accountable in court?

Why? If anything, it's going to become the most intensively analyzed airplane with the most widely broadcast flight envelope in aviation history. I personally hope that the Max gets back in the skies soon. I can't wait to get on board one, and enjoy the better connections and cheaper tickets that this economical airplane brings.
I've seen drivers blindly turn right or left without checking for pedestrians so many times I've lost count. How am I, as a pedestrian, supposed to cross only when such a driver is incapable of hitting me? Only walk at night when there's no traffic?

I sacrificed a perfect score in an IT test at school in the 90s over this sort of nonsense. Our IT teacher was adamant that a CPU was the base unit of a computer (terminology from the mainframe era) rather than the processor within it (as in the modern era). I refused to kowtow to the nonsense and took the red mark :-D

Looking at the current chrome documentation it does not appear that web BLE offers the ability to enumerate. The browser pops up a dialog allowing the user to grant access to a specific device.

I think this is actually superior to the security offered by mobile apps on android, which can enumerate bluetooth devices as soon as they have bluetooth permission.
Isn’t the big performance hit because Intel wasn’t checking permissions where they should have? How is that not a shortcut? They skip a step for speed.

> If one cannot afford Audi A6, Skoda Superb is the only choice.

I completely agree with this. In fact, in my country many people are buying Škoda Superb even if they can afford Audi A6, because they don't see Audi A6 as being worth 2x the price.

> After defeat device story VW group is anyway dead to me.

I noticed that all Volkswagen and smaller Audi cars released after 2015 came with much lower interior quality (more scratchy plastics), but the quality of Škoda and Seat cars has noticeably increased.

> And I don’t believe in their EV initiative. They do it only to make people forget the story with defeat device.

No, they do it in order not to become the Nokia of automotive industry after iPhone's release. Because that's where the entire European market is heading after the introduction of stricter emission standards.
Juicero may also have had the opposite problem: the dangers of letting engineers play unsupervised.

It appeared to be, and maybe should have been, a cheapjack gizmo swaddled in marketing glitz to justify its ridiculous price. But someone did a teardown and discovered that it actually did contain a very expensive, precision-engineered, completely unnecessary two-ton press. To squeeze fruit pulp out of a tube.
I agree, but I consider those are the users who didn't opt or not aware of "DO NOT SPAM" sign-ups.

My understanding is that one of the major selling points of this plane was that pilots of previous 737 models would need very little additional training for the 737 MAX. I think it was something like an hour of reading and they were then considered good to go.

It is also my understanding that IF pilots were fully informed of everything MCAS does and its failure modes, and were trained in how to recognize and handle those failures, and maybe also if the plane has the optional AoA features (display from both sensors, AoA disagree light) which could help recognize when MCAS is using faulty data, then the MAX would be fine.

Question: doesn't there come a point where it is cheaper for Boeing to give up on the very little additional training thing, and go ahead and eat the costs of retraining all the pilots to fully understand MCAS and installing the optional AoA features on all 737 MAXs?
Most likely outcome is a government bailout.

But those come with a raft of ongoing issues ranging from safety to maintenance so you generally pay the same or more long term.
In the mind of a lot of traditional carmakers, the main reason someone might buy an EV is to signal their environmental bona fides. So they make them look purposely weird.
More like, Boeing wins a contract for a new military aircraft the Airforce didn't know they needed.
Can’t believe they left the CEO in charge and just removed him from the chair of the board. Ultimately it’s his culture that made it possible for this issue.

> The argument is that you obviously don't deserve the money you get, therefore it should be taxed. That's not a very compelling argument.

I think that's a misreading.

I think the key insight that demolishes slogans like "taxation is theft" is that property, taxation, and theft are all concepts that have no independent existence, but are rather social conventions subject to social definition. Taxation isn't theft because it isn't defined that way by social convention. Society has things it needs to to collectively, and it's convenient to use its money-system to accomplish those things. Society also reckons that income is can be distributed unjustly, and taxation is a way of correcting that. Society's social conventions and definitions are made accordingly.
Bad accounting is bad.
I use to fly BOS <> SFO frequently.

One contributing factor is that the jetstream is stronger in winter months than summer months. Flights from BOS to SFO are up to 1 hour longer (heading into the jetstream) and 1 hour shorter from SFO to BOS (strong tailwinds).

In winter months, some airline's direct flights have to occasionally land and refuel mid-country[1]. I've experienced this first hand a couple times.

Been laid off twice, fired 0. Best was when I was given 2 months warning and they brought in a team to help people write resumes.

Expect the person being fired to be angry - it is common to disable their accounts.

When someone is fired, I think the rest of the team usually knows they are a problem. When it is a lay off it has a more negative impact.

I recall if someone was fired 'with cause' they could not get unemployment. Maybe it is just in Florida. Not that unemployment pays much, but that can be a double whammy.

Not sure how big your company is, so not sure how effective your HR can be. The company that had the 'kind' lay off for me was a big company. So their HR was big enough to know everything to tell us.

Make sure you have it well documented. Expect a lawsuit. When I was laid off, some people tried to sue for age discrimination. They failed as there were very few people left at that location, all of whom were older.

This article seems to propose log compaction as the answer to the question of size (i.e. how much historical data is going to have to be kept around and how much is that going to cost). However, log compaction is not well suited to many use cases: storing partial updates or diffs in the log, storing many trillions of tiny entries (as keys), multiple messages on the log corresponding to related (contingent) updates, and so on.

Those are tractable but hard to solve; log compaction is not a silver bullet and unless you think really hard about how your data changes over time, you may end up storing more of it than you expect if you use the log as an eternal source of truth--compaction or not.
And yet, this is exactly how push notifications are implemented on mobile phones. You have the illusion to push a message from server to device while in fact you also push a message onto a queue that is polled at regular intervals by the mobile. No way around it, mobile devices don't have guaranteed connectivity as servers do.

TBTF is "too important to fail".

"Too big to fail" describes a concept in which the government will intervene in situations where a business has become so deeply ingrained in the functionality of an economy that its failure would be disastrous to the economy at large. If such a company fails, it would likely have a catastrophic ripple effect throughout the economy.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/too-big-to-fail.asp

The "too big to (let) fail" theory asserts that certain corporations, particularly financial institutions, are so large and so interconnected that their failure would be disastrous to the greater economic system, and that they therefore must be supported by government when they face potential failure.[1] The colloquial term "too big to fail" was popularized by U.S. Congressman Stewart McKinney in a 1984 Congressional hearing, discussing the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's intervention with Continental Illinois.[2] The term had previously been used occasionally in the press.[3]

I was just watching the blancolirio channel (a 777 pilot), who previously brought up the 737NG pickle fork crisis that the mainstream media isn't reporting on. Combined with the 737 Max and 2010 737NG Ducommun critical structural parts deficiencies and burying of the internal Boeing blue-ribbon panel's findings, it's only cognitive dissonance and profiteering that keeps a rational person from concluding extensive and pervasive regulatory capture hasn't damaged the quality and fitness of Boeing's products and services designed, manufactured, overhauled or repaired in the past 20-25 years to an unknowably broad and deep systemic level that is fundamental uncertain to know the extent of the risk that lurks because of "self-certification" and other lax practices. Kicking out a couple of managers isn't going to fix much of anything that is already happened, like substandard spars lurking in 737NG's waiting to fail on hard landings, runway overruns and possibly heavy turbulence, leading to fuselage breakups.

I also think there's a bit of the Upton Sinclair effect in play where some Boeing pilot Youtubers including blancolirio and MentourPilot are overconfident and overestimate the quality and reliability of the equipment they fly out of sunk costs and income dependence biases.

Boeing is too big to fail, too big to jail and too big to derail. One or two products may have some minor software patches applied, but they won't ever be told to recall unsafe or defective products because they own the regulators and have outsized influence based on national strategic interests, and lots of lobbyists and campaign contributions.
