The changing rain patterns are getting more noticeable. I am in agricultural trade and have been noticing a lot of crop size and quality variations because of unseasonal or untimely rains. For example if rain happens 20-25 day before the expected period the flowers get destroyed so you get fewer fruits. Or when the rains are 15-20 days later than expected the fruit quality and size is as not good as the fruits didn't get the water when growing on the trees.

Singapore strikes me as another outcome of a China-like single-party state. It's somewhat authoritarian, somewhat free. It's big on national unity, but unlike China, fully acknowledges the distinct cultures there. It's a very unique place.
It’s odd here in AU. It is opt-in, but I still (as the de facto partner) had to give final authorisation to go ahead with it. I don’t quite get it, and wish it was more respectful of the deceased.

It’s worth noting though that the process of saying yes and sorting that all out was in fact incredibly healing and cathartic for me. I wouldn’t necessarily think it’s a bad thing for grieving families to be involved in.
I'd guess a lot of those decisions are probably fairly insensitive to small changes in the risk. But if, say, the sentence duration for murder was gradually reduced towards 0 years, there'd have to be some kind of increase in offending. Maybe not linear, but at some point, people are going to be angry enough at their enemies to take the 1 year jail when they wouldn't take the 30 years.

But for drink driving, you typically do it many times without getting caught, so you could respond to changed risk by changing how often you do it.

It's interesting to see people in the west often lauding Singapore for that and vilifying China if they do the same.
> This test was intended to push the plane to its limit. Not close to, but actually up to the limit, so it was actually expected to fail somewhere around this point.

I would assume that even in a failure scenario the fuselage is expected to fail gracefully instead of catastrophically.

By gracefully I mean having a fuse-like failure mode, where the whe system remains operational while a controlled failure is observed in a specific component. For example, a safety valve door blowout or at best a window/door blowout.

This test shows none of that. This test shows that Boeing's planes fail catastrophically.
Oooohhhh! Nice!

I left a startup before my one year cliff. The reason, my manager who puffed his abilities and status up more than his contributions. Secondary, management as a whole had unrealistic expectations - that was secondary.

I left.

Another colleague shortly left thereafter, same reason.

Founders were informed of the decision, did nothing.

Company did its thing.

The upside, said “boss” was declined funding based on feedback of his management style and title puffery.

Critical thinking is good. Building the 30 seconds habit of verifying stuff online is better for fake news. And it's teachable.

Regularly mix in half truths or outright lies and see who challenges you. Check a few classes later for who verified the claims. Do this often enough and at least 1% will bite.

Lastly, the habit of reading for pleasure is a natural fake news antidote. Over time, a person who reads widely will build enough expertise to spot rubbish.

Example, in unknown territories, I could be as gullible as my grandmother. Yet, it's very easy for me to spot wrong, misleading results on Google's search results and articles - in areas where I'm well read.

I've told my younger bro that his MBA professor's wrong about in one area or another. Since I don't have an MBA, he'll naturally discount my position. He'll however, agree with me a few month's later, when another professor or sometimes the same prof backs up my claim.

This is the option I was given in Australia. I don’t quite understand it (I can see arguments, I’m not sure however if they’re valid), but I’m glad not for the choice but rather that I was involved in the process. It was healing.

But I'd take issue with (well, I'd be dead, so I could no longer take issue, but you catch my drift) my organs being used for just about any other type of research, since that could include research into better ways of killing one another, which I would consider a "bad thing".

Do you seriously believe that upper class gays/lesbians and lower class gays/lesbians was the same?

In order for Alan Turing to be charged with “gross indecency”, he had to go the police himself, inform them he was gay (without being asked or prompted), and affirm it in a statement signed under penalty of perjury.

The only reason he did that was because he was so accustomed to people not caring, he didn’t think he was in any danger.

Hmm.. hold my, no wait.. take my beer.
The earlier models were premium not economy pricepoints. Why is the ECU designed around low cost on-board, non-replaceable constructs like this? A premium product, would not nickel-and-time the SD card, it would have engineered it as a field replaceable unit, with an insert,format, wait (for download) and go mode.

Replacing the entire ECU feels like an admission like Apple and increasingly Lenovo (thinkpad), they have driven premium to the wrong place. "please give us soldered on memory and soldered on SSD" is not actually what we said, on our feedback forms to Apple, or IBM (X1 Carbon).

Nobody asked Tesla to shave $1 on the ECU assembly and the incremental cost of recall and fix, along with goodwill now outweighs the cost saving in any sense I can understand it. If the authorities demand he fix for free, it becomes another shit show of the TSLA share price. This wasn't a good choice against all the other choices.
It is probably a stretch to keep it within "Information and Communications Technology" but when I think about what should be taught and is not, then I cannot help but think "tools"/mindsets on how to be and act in the fast paced world we have today.

Tying it somewhat to your subject I would probably teach students that if something is free, then you are the product. Teach them about dark patterns to counter and be aware when someone is trying to manipulate them. Teach them about the "attention-/click- economy". Things they can use outside of the classroom or professional career. Things that help them in all facets of life.

I would also be a strong proponent of "practical philosophy" for lack of better name. Learn how to think, how to spot when others are trying to manipulate you, learn that nothing is free, etc. etc. etc.

At least 3 of my lecturers didn't want me using my laptop in class. One cited the, "You learn more writing with pen and paper" crap.

This didn't apply to me cos I hate my handwriting - thus don't want to read what I've handwritten. I actively colored my headlines, underlined, emphasized or even completely rewritten (in my own words) key areas on OneNote.

I also used my Nook simple touch ebook reader when reading for tests and exams for complete focus.

I wonder why Homo Erectuses and especially Neanderthals never domesticated wolves. They co-existed with wolves for hundreds of thousands of years and were social hominids that were, judging by their brain size, technology and culture, quite intelligent.

EDIT: apparently there's some evidence of wolf domestication stretching back hundreds of thousands of years.
It’s incredibly hard to escape a poor childhood with few role models. In my case 3 points made a line so I became an alcoholic. Family; friends esp. at University (esp. esp. the Koreans); colleagues esp. when I arrived in Silicon Valley. Drinking was how we hung out, bars and clubs were where we made rando friends, loud parties were where we got wild, etc. In retrospect there were plenty of non-drinking options under my nose, but we see what we pay attention to.

Now since laying off drinking culture and focusing on health in 2012, I find myself ostracized and slandered by my old drinking friends and colleagues (look up scapegoat), and really completely alone in the world. I have become homeless and am mercilessly bullied at each job because I lack social skills of non-drinkers and am not likable to drinkers.

Everything is pushing me back to alcoholism. I have a bottle of wine in my bag that I don’t drink... I’ve had like 5 drinks in 3 years. In 2013 I was accused of DUI with 3 drinks in my system in 3 hours, and that has caused innumerable problems in my life. It’s on my record as DUI even though it was charded as “careless driving,” as there was no breathalyzer etc. No sympathy, no doubt I’d had some drinks so whatever. After being accused of DUI the month before moving back to SF I relapsed into heavy drinking with an old buddy for about a year, and worse, due to existential despair over the implications if DUI. Then I found out tons of people have them. Life is funny.

I’m more sober and healthy than I’ve been since 21 before I first drank, but I spent Thanksgiving alone on the street in Palo Alto, with my regular bathrooms closed and denied access to others. Sadly most people would slide back into drinking in my situation; I dunno what I’d do without YouTube.

I know I drifted off. I see some harsh judgement here and it’s uncalled for. Personally I think people should be able to demonstrate that they’ve been habilitated and have their records wiped. Alcoholism is complex, and the last thing that will help is imposing upon a life meant for growth. Dis-ease, to make uneasy; disease, like alcoholism. Penalties only make things worse. Revoke the license and treat the soul of the person and let them earn it back, sure. Spending a little time homeless hasn’t hurt me (18 months), so nothing in a treatment program should hurt anyone. The DUI popping up on background checks certainly doesn’t make me eager to apply to jobs; it comes with very harsh judgement; “rightly so,” my old self would say. No, permanent punishment for symptoms are pretty much evil.
ECUs made in the last 10-20 years don’t really ever fail. Bosch has really figured things out and produces reliable ECUs for most OEMs.

Sure they do. Take a look at the FICM failures with the Ford 6.0 diesel. In the gasoline world you'll come across failed injector or ignition drivers if you look hard enough. Failures due to environmental causes (like the wiring harness wicking hydraulic fluid into the control unit itself) are a thing as well.

It's not engine related, but BMW's late 90s-early 2000s five series uses a computer to control its lights. The failure mode is that your lights stay on as long as the battery is hooked up (fail safe). Unfortunately the IC that BMW used was discontinued by Infineon. I think a surface mount version is still available, but ultimately yeah these things wear out and you're largely at the mercy of the OEM.
How can any rational person accept this explanation for the DHS failings? Why have heads not rolled at the DHS over this egregious failure? This is not a failure of technology. DHS certainly had the technology necessary to track separated migrant families; their management did not have the smarts to use it effectively.

Also, "initial shipment" is a bit odd since everything before batch Evergreen (next year) could be considered a "preview release" since they're still finalizing some of the hardware. The iPhone didn't release in batches, it was a complete product on launch.

We'll see what makes the cut by the time Evergreen rolls out.
No video comparisons, nothing?
Also why dont they release this for mobile?
Release a bunch of balloons into the air. They'd float to the leak.

If you want to get fancy, coat them with a glue that bonds to the ceiling material, and they'd fix the leak too! At least temporarily. My first thought was that they'd clog the hole automatically even without glue, but I think the pressure differential would just squeeze them through.

My kids are launching into adult life and finding their callings and paths.

I am thankful for my expanding understanding of family. My wife's ex is maybe not a brother but close. Our Christmas mornings have exes, current and former in-laws, kids, and extended family all mixed together in wonderful fun ways.

This year a half sister, I didn't know I had, connected with me. The first DNA relative I can talk with about tech. Now we are catching up on 40 plus years of life we didn't share!

The never ending energy to learn, grow, and expand my self awareness.

The many ways love comes to us.
I am thankful for having been born at the end of the 70s, just at the right time. Had I been born substantially earlier, I probably would not have survivesd as I started into this world with a tumor in both eyes which was treated with a ton of radiation when I was still an infant. Technology was already advanced, but not "too much". I was lucky enough to experience the newsgroup era on the internet, a time when people were still using ASCII and fixed fonts to convey complex information. I was able to take part in a lot of things which today would no longer be possible as the technologies employed are mostly inherently inaccessible. My understanding of the world is to a large extent based on the fact that in the past, I could participate a lot easier then is possible today.

So, had I been born earlier, I would have died.
And had I been born later, I would have felt the digital divide even more harshly then I already do.

Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny?
As a college student from a high school that had multiple classes related to Java/infotech - I think this is a case where you definitely want to cover breadth over depth. In high school everyone has different skills and interests. Some will already be set on CS while others are have the mindset like "anything related to the word tech is scary and I won't be able to do it." In general I think catering to this diversity will be the most difficult part.

- Learning to make a barebones HTML/CSS webpage would be super relevant (and in conjunction, learn about how web browsers work).

- Someone in this thread mentioned file systems, and this may seem basic to the HN crowd but I agree - right now in college I'm teaching an intro web design course and I was surprised to find that the most common hurdle is probably filepaths!

- For teaching CS/programming related things, definitely do it in a way that makes it applicable to anyone - for example, basic "data science" projects like using Python to read/process spreadsheets of data could be used in nearly any field of study in the future, no matter what the student is interested in.

- Also, if you have the budget, I would even recommend getting a few Arduino kits to show what it's like to blink an LED! It can be a very simple demo for students who have never touched electronics, and more experienced students can try other blinking patterns or electronics components.

Generally projects like these demo something cool and practical to expose basic concepts, while having many possible avenues of enrichment for students who might be more advanced.
