You might be right :(

>And the interior of the plane was pressurized beyond normal levels to about 10 pounds per square inch — not typically a requirement for this test, but something Boeing chose to do.

I apologize for the tangent, but:

> Google engineers [are] working 60-70 hours a week - very stressful.

Is this true? I worked a hard 35 hours a week when I was at Google. Granted, I was a junior engineer, but the fact that I could get away with that and have it not affect my career unduly always makes me surprised to hear descriptions of Google as a sweatshop.

Can any Googlers say whether this has changed in the few years since I left? I know they're a massive company so generalizing can be hard, but this is so far from my experience that if be surprised if it was true of enough of the company to make anything approaching a blanket statement. I've always thought that it would be nice to go back to Google to retire in a few years.
This is quiet cool! They did far better job then I would have imagined in doing myself! Ha!

Who said anything about “their” or “them”? I spoke about people, and I meant everybody, including myself. We, human beings, can’t make logical decisions. The most we can hope for is to stop ourselves from making illogical ones, by forcing ourselves to logically rationalize our decisions after the fact. However, rationalizations are tricky things, and almost anything can be rationalized to seem reasonable. But it’s the best we have.
The British don't idealize Churchill, right-wing British and Americans do.

He was not even that popular in his finest hour, as head of a cross-party coalition wartime government, being kicked out of office by the British people before the war had even ended and never once won the popular vote in any general election.

You can definitely make a cookie cutter 65nm SoC under $1m.

You can never take a corporation at its word. If you relied on promises that you obtained (limits on price increases, etc) you should have gotten all of that language into a legally binding contract. Even if current management of Ethos is committed to what you say they promised, management changes, companies run into trouble, and future management may come under pressure to extract more revenue.

Also, what's the justification for 10% annual increases? Their costs aren't going up faster than inflation.
> The relatively good news for Boeing is that because the test failed so explosively at just 1% shy of meeting federal requirements, it will almost certainly not have to do a retest. Regulators will likely allow it to prove by analysis that it’s enough to reinforce the fuselage in the localized area where it failed.

I don't understand this. So they did a test, and it failed at 99%. They reinforce that one area where it failed, and show by analysis that the reinforced area would have made it to at least 100%.

OK, but what about the rest of the fuselage? The rest was only tested to 99%. Couldn't there be another place that fails at, say, 99.5%, which wasn't detected in the first test because the place that fails at 99% stopped the test?

Edit: I would guess that during this kind of test they have the plane heavily instrumented with things like strain gauges so they can understand how it reacts and see if it is behaving according to spec. So maybe it is the case that the data from the rest of the fuselage showed that it would have made it to 100% if the test had continued, and only the area that failed was in trouble. That could explain why they aren't require to do another test.

That still leaves me unsatisfied, though. Presumably analysis of the design before the test said it would make it to 100%. If the failure was not due to a manufacturing defect in that particular fuselage, then it suggests that they analysis was not adequate. But then what assurance is there that their analysis that shows that the reinforcement would hold is good?
1. The price cap is an informal agreement, not legally binding

even though you're likely not after a serious breakdown, our primary drives, to gain control and be able to predict the future (through resources, social status etc) are all so that we can stay alive and stay safe - so that we can procreate and continue gene replication, and raise our offspring.

Our unconscious is running the show, driven by those aims. Our conscious, cortex, tries to predict the future and make plans that will achieve those drives "what if..." and also tries to make sense of everything it notices (including our own unconscious behavior) "why did that happen?"

A LOT of what we consciously think is inaccurate or plain untrue. What we say and what we do are miles apart. When building a site to sell anything, ignore what people say, study only what they do. And have those core, unconscious drives in mind, not the bullshit of the day people are talking about.

we are currently in an age where there's an overload of sex, but very little sexiness. the 80's and 90's were waaay sexier. now it's all political correctness and sjw angriness or generic appeals to everyone. that won't last through the next decade. sex sells. sexiness sells more.

No need to do anything drastic right now. Maybe lock in current rates by buying up the full ten years of domain payments if you are really worried about things. Most non-profits should be able to afford that.

Exciting to see it's real. I was getting very worried about the controversy, but it's beginning to fade away.

I'm so fed up with software that tries to anticipate what I want. Computers running Linux do what you ask in spite of what you want, but phones running modern phone operating systems do what they think you want in spite of what you need. And that is deeply frustrating to power users.

I guess now I just need to decide when to jump into this.

The smarter a TV is, the stupider it breaks too.

My parents had a TV with a built-in Skype app, and at some point the TV maker stopped supporting it. After that, every single time the TV was turned on the TV popped up a vague modal error message (that didn’t even mention Skype, just “an app” or something). I verified that it is impossible to turn off this message or do anything about it. Think about the stupidity.

You're going to hate this but: write a lot.

Just keep doing it. The more you write the more confidence you will have. That confidence will slowly start to turn into personality and style.

The BoJ owns 9.78% of Softbank. https://group.softbank/en/corp/irinfo/stock/ownership/

Softbank cannot borrow directly from the BoJ because it is not an actual bank. However, they recently issued bonds at a 1.38% rate: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/markets/bonds/gone-in-1...

Welcome to NIRP.

Thankfully, Softbank's internal exposure to the Vision Fund is quite limited. Also, they have a sizeable liquid stake in Alibaba worth $100 billion they can unwind if they start needing cash. I don't think retail SoftBank investors are in imminent danger, but I do think the BoJ eating up so much liquidity in sovs is pretty crazy.

There's several anecdotes internally at Facebook that get told to new starters about some instances of when facebook.com was down. One involves masses of people calling the police to report that facebook is offline (wat, why?), another involves so many people flocking to twitter to complain that fb is down that that crowd then knocked twitter offline ("How do you know if facebook is down? Check whether twitter is online" sort of thing).

I don't feel comfortable sharing the exact figures, but during my time there the cost of a few minutes of downtime on an ads-adjacent message queue cluster directly turned into millions in lost revenue, so it's safe to say that losing the capability to _serve_ ads (as opposed to charging for serving them) would have a pretty damn high economic cost to those advertisers. As Workplace gains traction, downtime there will creep into the "cataclysmic" side of the economic costs scale.

Not only that, isn't there a sense in which a TLD is not actually property at all? The DNS operates by consensus. There are a bunch of root server operators who all agree who operates the .org TLD and then list those NS records in their root servers.

What stops people from getting together, agreeing that a private equity firm would be a poor steward of the .org TLD, choosing somebody else to operate it instead, and pointing the NS records there instead?

Nobody really owns the DNS. It's a thing that works because there is a broad consensus on how it should work. If the consensus is that this is a dumb idea then what's stopping people from choosing not to go along with it?

And staging a coup over this would set a good precedent that these types of flagrant money grabs are not to be tolerated.

There are so many Java and .NET boxes out there that need to be rebooted every 2 hours because of some insidious bug that nobody on the team can solve.
