Guess you missed the ones where cities are higher impacted and rural areas went down and that most of these are caused by SUVs because drivers of SUVs are terrible people and have a lead foot leading to more head injuries because of the height of their vehicle. It's pretty clear that the people at highest risk are pedestrians in cities that allow SUVs. The solution should be to ban SUVs in cities, since they are responsible for most of the deaths would cause a dramatic drop in pedestrians dying.

Blizzard, you want to be allowed to operate inside the United States? You can't ban people for criticizing other countries. You want to continue to ban people for that? Oh well, now you have to pay a fine.

Why are we fine with the US govt forcing companies not to do business with certain entities and countries, but we're not fine with forcing companies to uphold the values the US operates on?
First, this is excellent and very well done (the analysis wasn't great for me, but whatever - point made).

The “first car in the pipeline” part is referring to the new generation of vehicles built on purpose built EV platforms shared across many models, whereas the e-Golf is an electric drivetrain retrofitted into a combustion car and the e-Tron is a one off.

Fairfax County (and DC metro in general) is wealthy. But, it's also very mixed, just like most large suburban or urban areas. Look at the federally subsidized lunch numbers - despite an average household income well into 6-figures, it's not uncommon for a school to have 20-30% of the students receiving free lunches.

Very little of the crime on the W&OD is "bike specific" - it's just "normal" stuff that happens all over. I'm more concerned about getting run over by a road-raging douchebag in an SUV on my way to the trail than mugged while I'm on the trail. Honestly, I'd be more concerned walking back to my car at the mall than riding down the W&OD.

I've lived in the area most of my life. I can't think of any areas I'd actively avoid during the day. Well, except Tysons Corner, but that's not because of the crime, I just hate the place.

Aerodynamics is a big design factor for EVs, as lower coefficient of drag leads to higher efficiency and less battery capacity needed. Tesla clearly has much more aesthetically pleasing aerodynamic cars better than others like Chevy and Nissan...in fact those cars are both uglier and less aerodynamic.

I am not a fanboy, but Tesla simply has the best EVs on the market.
Like that would do any good. You have to have a friend high up in the U.S. government to escalate your case if you want things fixed.
A big problem with these new AI techniques as applied to photography is that the algorithms tend to be very opaque, and typically gives very little control to the user.

You can get better over time at using the dodge/burn tools, or selection masks, or color curves, etc in Photoshop - and use them at very granular, minute levels. If the final result is not up to your expectations, you know that it’s due to your own doing and you can try again, get someone to help you, watch a tutorial, etc.

However, all these magical AI sliders give you very little insight about what’s actually going on behind the scenes, and typically only expose a few vague sliders for the photographer to manipulate, often in an all-or-nothing fashion. If you like what cranking up the "AI Skin Defect Removal" slider does to the texture of the nose but not the tone of the cheek, there's no much you can do to address that.

While it makes for cool demos, and the appeal of “one click and your boring sky becomes picturesque” is clear for an entire category of users, this makes them pretty boring and limited as creative tools.

Isn't that business in a nutshell? You wouldn't have a much of a business if everyone went to 5G bond or not. Competition and doing risky things is part of business and partly why bankruptcy law exists.

If your business implodes due to 5G, the bond is written off as part of bankruptcy and the lender eats the loss while taking over the business assets.

Also seeing how low range 5G is, it basically looks like cell phone providers become wifi access point providers, which smells really close to what a wired ISP does anyway, which sounds like another ISP competitor.

To me the main choice you make for a knowledge base is the linking structure: do you want just an unorganized pile, a web, something hierarchical, or something linear? In general CS/programming people prefer less structured forms like webs (as can be seen in these comments), while physics/math people prefer the opposite. For example, the Stacks and Kerodon projects are huge collaborative knowledge bases for certain subfields, but they're organized like a standard textbook.

This is partly because physics/math people prefer more stable software, since they don't have time to keep up with or build the latest thing. LaTeX has been stable for decades. Furthermore, the material in physics and math really is more ordered and hierarchical, while CS seems to have a broader, more organic structure from its youth.

I love the linear format, and I'd encourage you to try it too. It requires no special software. It forces you to think about what is most foundational, and how certain insights lead directionally to others -- issues which you can ignore if you give yourself the freedom of a web. And as you move forward to more advanced things, spaced repetition of the more foundational things will happen automatically.

If the "smooth" option is feeding into people's biases, that doesn't seem like a good thing. For stuff like dogs or pizzas curating content based on AI is harmless, but once you get into racial and gender biases, with the given example of suggesting dating profiles, the effects on the outside world can be disastrous. Implicit bias is neither a positive or a negative thing assuming you are aware of and combat it when it has a negative impact, but businesses don't care about that and just want more clicks/buys/swipes/etc.

What are you talking about? The shareholders, the board, and the upper management collectively are the company. The rest is just employees and assets. Employees don't own the company, they just work there for money and can be let go at any time (subject to employment law). Assets are owned by the company.

Your analogy makes no sense at all.

The company should die. Its assets of course are still worth a lot of money, and I'm sure some other aircraft manufacturer might like to buy those assets for pennies on the dollar, and also hire the employees right away to get production up to speed as quickly as possible (but on a different design).

Oh yes, the joys of a cramped 737 with the added benefit of in-flight nose dives. The post-9/11 trend of every domestic flight being a 737 (or Airbus equivalent) is generally just as bad as TSA.

Boeing needs to come out with a redesigned medium-range narrow-body airliner that doesn't hug the ground, has ample leg room and overhead bin space, and sell it domestic carriers as the future of air-travel instead of releasing the airplane equivalent of Windows XP Service Pack 8.
They also need to either add a manual MCAS cutout (separate from the power-trim cutout) and probably add a third AoA sensor too.

The airplane will not be safe as long as the only way to exit a nose-high MCAS runaway situation is to cut out the power trim and move a wheel that physically cannot be moved while the aircraft remains in the nose-high situation. And without a third AoA sensor the chances of a failure remain unacceptably high.
Good article this morning from the Verge [1] about how airlines dependent on a monoculture fleet are in a world of hurt because they can't leave the 737 line (too entrenched operationally) but also can't wait forever for Boeing to get its act together.

Except it actually does, they probably won't exercise that ability frequently, but they have the power to do that without any inherent legal restrictions or conditions.

A CBP officer could yank you out of your car on the cross bronx expressway and then search the vehicle top to bottom and your legal recourse would be to hope that CBP feels bad and reimburses you somehow, you would be owed no legal damages because it isn't illegal.

This isn't hyperbole, it's actually that ridiculous.

As a junior developer myself I've spent the past 4 months exclusively working on a project that began development right after I on-boarded. Initially a massive team effort, the team was re-organized such that I ended up spending the most time and becoming an expert in the new system.

This has been a tremendous experience since I've clearly shown my technical competency, but with all the depth in one area I've lost the breadth of knowledge of all the components we work on. The article mentions learning the business, and I feel like that's at odds with becoming an expert in one area at least in a short period of time.

Even if it really is examined so thoroughly as to be the safest plane ever, it's still going to be a pretty lousy flying experience because it's a crappy old narrowbody chassis that's decades behind in technology and refinement. They need to just scrap them and start building some Airbus designs.
Unique insights from building a design-to-code platform
> I don't want a browser to bypass DNS settings to use something else instead.

In an ideal situation, me neither. But there are a lot of users who use for example Windows 7, which will never get encrypted DNS on system level. Browsers get updates and can provide more DNS security for the average user. Not a single average user is going to configure a DNSCrypt client on their computer.

> Especially since DNS encryption and anonymization is already done on the router for the whole network.

So you would prefer using a DHCP provided DNS server on untrusted Wi-Fi networks and let it snoop on DNS queries?
Do you also wear boots, an armored jacket and pants? Gloves? I bike to work every day, and spent a good part of my childhood on a bike- mountain biking on trails in the woods.

I have had countless banged up knees, elbows, ankles and hands, but never had a head injury. I used to ride a motorcycle, and wore the full getup aside from pants, and I feel cyclists would be far more protected wearing a jacket and gloves.

Anecdotes aside- figures from the UK (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1119262/) show that it takes 8000 years of cycling to produce a clinically severe head injury and 22000 years for one death. From that same source, roughly 1% of all head injuries admitted into hospitals are from cycling, and 60% are alcohol related. Yet people would find it ridiculous if you suggested they wear a drinking helmet.

The fixation on helmets really confuses me. Its not helped that a lot of it seems to be pushed by people who seem to use it as some kind of virtue-signaling issue. There is just such a focus on a fairly burdensome piece of equipment that in a small percentage of rides in which an incident occurs, and in a small percentage of those incidents, this piece of equipment may help reduce the severity of your injuries, while all other equipment is left out of the conversation.
How dare you question dietary proselytizing which is clearly masquerading as scientific fact.

The Rise of MLOps: What We Can All Learn from DevOps
I could of sworn there was an article here not that long ago explaining that the reason more people die after being hit be vehicles now as opposed to living after being hit is that more vehicles are SUVs and they just kill you on impact instead of potentially rolling over the top.
Poor Embraer - they were bought by Boing recently, their private jets are some of the best. I hate seeing decaying big players buying smaller "fresher" companies just to see them squeezing any profit/value until the acquired company is ruined.
This explanation always shows up when there is a discussion on car safety on HN. However, it doesn't explain why pedestrian deaths have risen more sharply in the US than other countries
Mostly the cost of complexity. For $20+ billion Comac can barely get a decent aircraft off the ground, and that's a state-owned enterprise with what amounts to an unlimited budget and likely more than a small percentage of industrial espionage.
I know Firefox is the one browser who isn't switching to the newer, more restrictive method of content blocking, but wasn't the (purported) motivation for Safari's change performance?

For my use, I keep many many tabs and windows open. Most of the efficiency gains I see are from handling that better. I don't use desktop Safari heavily. I tend to keep it as the thing I use when I suspect adblockers are messing up content (it's easier than disabling adblock). On my iPhone I do use an adblocker and haven't noticed problems. When I do browse the web without an adblocker I quickly recoil and think, "do people really live like this??"
Yep. It's a mixer in RF terminology. Or a heterodyne. Lots of names for this thing.

There is also an excellent chance that the standard model is the story up to 100TeV and these expensive programs take away attention from better science endeavors.
It appears that the critical decisions on the Max design were made during Raymond Conner's tenure as head of Commercial Airplanes. He was a sales executive. His successor, Kevin McAllister was also a sales executive, and worse, was ex-GE. No doubt he was hired during James McNerney's stint as Boeing CEO. McNerney was also from GE under Jack Welch.

As the plane is headed down, it increases its speed. At a certain point, due to aerodynamic forces, pilots cannot stabilize the plane with the stabilizer trim wheel in the cockpit. The situation is unrecoverable.

This is explained here:

Boeing stock feels like a great buy if the bottom falls out. There is simply no way the US Government is going to let the only major domestic commercial aircraft business go under.

On the other hand this fiasco has not really hurt the stock price too much so perhaps investors already have decided this is true as well.
Ask Lockheed Martin how that went :)
On a similar note does anyone have any idea how to improve 4K performance with Intel graphics (i7-6600U). For me it's basically unusable as everything (even loading basic webpages like this) slows down, where as on Windows it works perfectly. For now I've downscaled to 1440p, but that isn't a great solution as now my screen is blurry. I'm using Arch, but a fresh Fedora Workstation install has the same issue.

> One of the hardest issues with real time computing on x86 is... SMM. One of the easiest ways to bypass security on x86 is... SMM. The workaround for "securing" SMM is to sprinkle virtualization on it (STM: because more virtualization is always better), which only adds more complexity (and messes up real time computing even more).

A question: To my knowledge, SMM runs in ring -2, while virtualization runs in ring -1 (i.e. is less privileged than SMM). So how can one "secure" SMM by using virtualization?
Tesla’s Futuristic Door Handles Blamed for Death in Fiery Wreck
Love this! I just wish the Bill of Rights had been a pull request that was merged once the 11 ratifying states approved it.
Congrats - this is certainly a success, especially for monetizing in a heavily crowded space with many free alternatives available.

Can you share a few pointers on competing in a crowded market.
It's not just really hard. I think the hard part most people can get by. It's the luck part that a lot of us are missing. You have to be lucky enough to be that 1 person who catches the train at the right time.

Imagine the odds of that. That's what gets me. It's not necessarily how hard you work. It's the window of opportunity that most people miss.
All the pilots needed to do was identify the problem as MCAS, use manual electric trim buttons to neutral and then turn electric trim off.

But Boeing never trained pilots how to identify the problem, and told them the old procedure was the correct way of dealing with it.
The old procedure told pilots to turn electric trim off, never turn it back on and return stabilizes to neutral with manual control, which turns out to be impossible.

That's not one, but two pilot training issues with Boeing's official training materials.

A related problem is that because of the no extra training requirements, Boeing explicitly designed MCAS to be near impossible to disable, because if it was disabled then the plane now had different flight characteristics, which the pilots weren't trained to handle.

And this is also the reason why MCAS only used data from one sensor. If the sensors disagreed and MCAS disabled itself, then that would require pilot training.

The whole system would have been designed differently, and more safely if it wasn't for the "no extra training" requirement.
