Efficiency and security are always traded for one another. Unfortunately, markets will tend to the short term benefits so the pendulum will swing towards efficiency until it’s gone too far and something causes it to swing back.
Is Airbus vertically integrated? It's quite spread out over Europe in production and some parts enjoy quite a bit of autonomy on design too.
Because it costs money and Boeing would rather have larger executive bonuses than pay for a new design. The fact that a new design would be better for the future health of the company is irrelevant: the executives won't be there in 20-40 years, so why should they care about that? All that's important is their compensation in the next few years until they land a gig somewhere else.

I mean, it wasn’t a safety scandal, but the A380 was a huge disaster for the company. I’d be more comfortable getting on a notional A360 than a notional 797, but both companies have self-harmed recently.
Long term capital gains taxes in the US currently have a progressive (bracketed) structure.

They start at 0%, go to 15%, then 20%, then 23.8%.

Short term capital gains are taxed at ordinary income rates, which also has a progressive rate structure as GP claimed.
I have been at the receiving end of German authorities reporting an uninfected server of mine to the hosting company as Avalanche-infected based on Shadowserver information. It was unpleasant, particularly because it happened a day before a family holiday, so my spouse was annoyed when instead of participating in preparations, I was researching what had happened and explaining my innocence.

Although my server wasn't infected, it had connected to a Shadowserver sinkhole.

While it's good that there are folks who work to sinkhole botnets, the next step of accusing others of being infected based of what the sinkhole sees needs more care. I'm disappointed that, evidently, my expression of these concerns to the German authorities three years ago hasn't lead to a substantial change at the Shadowserver end.

As can be seen from your case (and mine), you can get blamed even if the software at your end of the connection wasn't the botnet software. Considering how a basic premise of the Web is that it's safe to dereference a URL and everyone runs software that does so (Web browsers!), it's a bad idea that Shadowserver doesn't require a narrower indicator of compromise.

There'd be less chance of folks weaponising this system against bystanders by framing them as botnet-infected if the Shadowserver Foundation sinkhole required the other end of the connection to exhibit more specific hallmarks of the botnet software.

E911 compliance is a legal requirement. It would be against the law for that slider to turn that off.

While I don't have the time to read the PSZ paper right now, I'll just point out that their introduction contradicts your post, that the results are starkly different. I'll just quote verbatim from p 557:

> Even after taxes and transfers, there has been close to zero growth for working-age adults in the bottom 50% of the distribution since 1980. The aggregate flow of individualized government transfers has increased,but these transfers are largely targeted to the elderly and the middle-class (individuals above the median and below the 90th percentile). Transfers that go to the bottom 50% of earners havenot been large enough to lift their incomes significantly."

> "... our data show a sharp divergence in the growth experienced by the bottom 50% versus the rest of the economy. The average pretax income of the bottom 50% of adults has stagnated at about $16,000 per adult (in constant 2014 dollars ...) . As a result, the bottom 50% income share has collapsed from about 20% in 1980 to 12% in 2014. In the meantime, the average pretax income of top 1% adults rose from $420,000 to about $1.3 million, and their income share increased from about 12% in the early 1980s to 20% in 2014. The two groups have essentially switched their income shares, with eight points of national income transferred from the bottom 50% to the top 1%. The top 1% income share is now almost twice as large as the bottom 50% share, a group that is by definition 50 times more numerous. In 1980, top 1% adults earned on average 27 times more than bottom 50% adults before tax, while they earn 81 times more today. Second, government redistribution has offset only a smallfraction of the increase in pretax inequality."
I also want to push back on this.

You have a policy that guarantees every single security researcher that inspects your platform will be in violation of your TOS. But you're telling us on an Internet forum that you won't use that policy unless someone does something completely awful. That's asking us to put a lot of trust into you -- trust that you're not willing to reciprocate back to us.

People shouldn't need to break your TOS to report a bug to you, and they shouldn't need to rely on purely your goodwill to protect themselves. Security disclosure is already a really scary process, researchers need explicit guarantees that they won't be prosecuted or sued. If a company tells me that I should just trust them that they won't sue me or ruin my life over a bug report, I stop going through their official disclosure channels, because it's no longer worth the risk. Policies like this are a really good way to get security bugs reported as anonymous Pastebins in the press instead of to your official channels.

I would also note that outside of security research, this bans people from building tools around your site -- browser extensions that automate common tasks or alternate clients that call into unsupported or private APIs. I think that's a really regressive restriction for something as fundamental as a payment platform to have.

Again, maybe your actual policy will be not to go after people who build useful tools -- but in that case, why start out with a TOS that encourages an unhealthy power dynamic, that means you could shut down someone who interops with your service for any reason?

The point of a TOS is to create clarity -- it's an agreement so that both users and platform owners know what's expected of each other. I don't expect a TOS to enumerate literally everything that might happen, but I instinctively recoil away from a TOS that includes onerous restrictions that I'm told to just ignore. A rule that everyone is expected to break is really just a blanket license to selectively punish anyone on your platform for any reason. Why should I as a user trust you with that kind of power?

In regards to protecting creators and avoiding creator damages -- hacking is already a federal crime. What's something that this policy protects you against that couldn't be handled by the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act?
From a different perspective that's what you got when company are obsessed to save money everywhere no matter what it takes, to the point to outsource airplane control system software to India at $9 per hour, we had airplane-battery-problem a few years back at Boeing due to the same reason, now it starts to kill people, where is the end?

People buy airplane for safety first, nobody dares to buy them no matter how cheap they are if they will end up killing people on board.

Do they really outperform a basic index fund strategy? Any data on this?

There isn't a market that offers better risk adjusted returns than than what is available with affordable index funds.

Aerospace was the earliest adopter of standard CAD data formats (ISO 10303 [1]) and the current development is mainly funded by Boeing and Airbus. You could build something on top of Open Cascade Technology [2] if you want an open source solution, BRL-CAD supports STEP too.

Key point there. Assange was not in the organization. At best he would be considered media in this case.

Manning did not follow the proper steps to blow the whistle through the chain of command, and therefore was not given the legal protection that others would be. He didn't care what was leaked, he just wanted to do damage.

Not the whole story. Some drivers sometimes speed like crazy, mostly on the parts of the Autobahn that have 4 lanes, and it's for relatively short distances. Every once in a while, around on/off ramps, the speed is limited and traffic usually doesn't allow speeding.

But driving with an average speed of 165Km/h takes a huge toll on concentration. You have to expend a lot of mental and physical effort to be constantly vigilant at those speeds for hours on end, something the regular Autobahn driver doesn't have to do because they can just slow down a bit and move one lane to the right.

How do you know that, though? Have you had the opportunity to be in the exact same place he was for the exact same time? Do you sincerely believe there aren't, in the billions of people on earth, someone with better resource allocation skills than Bezos? Having more money is not proof of ability.
Sorry for the plug, but you can kind of simulate that process in the nand2tetris.org course (also available on Coursera).

In that course, you build a computer (through hardware simulators) that can run binary programs. Then you build up a programming toolchain: stack based virtual machine language that compiles to assembly, and a high level language that you compile to the VM language. You also write the assembler that translates your assembly into ones and zeros, which are like the punch cards.

So you can simulate what it's like to be writing the binaries: if you take out the compilers, you can go through the process of manually translating your high level code into punchcards. The high-level lines become stack operations, which become assembly commands, which become binary words.

(For efficiency reasons, you'd probably program directly in assembly where possible, but you can add on the abstraction levels.)
I had meant to restrict my weight lifting comments to the kind of weight lifting that goes on in gyms (what was being discussed upthread). And I have to confess I don't know much about those sports you named, but do the participants really interact with each other like they would in, say basketball or soccer? Maybe there really is a rule like "there are a finite number of weights, and each can be lifted by at most one person", which would be pretty similar to "there's only one ball, therefore only the player with the ball can score"? And therefore being paired with someone who vastly outclasses you wrt lifting weights will effectively render you unable to participate (by taking all the weights you can lift, similar to taking 100% of the possessions of the ball).
I think the intent is to reality check some of the marketing coming out of Google/IBM/Intel/Rigetti that seem to be trying to imply that quantum computers actually exist today (as opposed to laboratory science experiments which are what actually exist now) and are just a few years away from commercialization after which some form of Moore's Law will take hold. I've seen a number of Pop Sci articles that say things like "today's quantum computers fill an entire room like 1960s mainframes" or "today's leading edge quantum computers contain 53 qubits, experts say we'll need n-qubits to solve x problem which is intractable on a classical computer". All of this is intended to imply we just need to figure out how to shrink these existing quantum computers down while expanding the number of qubits available and we're about to have a quantum repeat of the PC Revolution. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Note that the Dutch wealth tax replaces their capital gains tax. It’s a tax on the assumed returns on capital assets. (Of course unlike a capital gains tax the wealth tax reaches unrealized gains. But the rate is also lower than a capital gains tax would be. It’s possible to come out ahead compared to a capital gains tax depending on your situation.)
There are airlines with an all Airbus fleet, you don't have to stick to travelling by rail.
It's an excellent blog, and from reading it it's quite clear that categories have been ever shifting; sometimes because of supply or government restrictions (esp war) and sometimes just for commerical reasons (increasing profit, changing customer tastes etc).
Because Europe has not legalized corruption to the same degree as the US. Massive campaign contributions is not as common in Europe, hence large European multi-nationals likely don't have the same opportunity to change regulations to serve them.

Of course they can still influence politicians by talking about all the jobs they will provide etc. Also power in Europe is not centralized the same way as it is in the US. In the US you can lobby Washington DC.

American lobbyist companies started swarming Brüssels as soon as the EU started gaining more power over national legislation.

So there is potential for the EU to head in the US direction, but it isn't quite there yet.
to have equality, you'll have to reduce everyone to the lower common denominator, which will be rather low

Why must everyone go down to the lower common denominator? Wouldn't moving everyone to the average also be equality? For most middle-class Westerners that would be a reduction, but for most people on Earth that would very likely be a small improvement, and in some cases a significant improvement.

The real problem is that it's logistically impossible. Someone living in the middle of a desert just can't have access to the sort of food wealth and stable energy supply we have because the technologies to get those things to where they are don't really exist yet. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try to move everyone towards the average a bit though.

Presumably there are people who are being exploited in the world. But to claim in general poverty is a result of exploitation seems very questionable.

Start with basics. People live in the woods, with nothing. Some start building a hut from sticks, others don't. The ones living in huts suddenly are richer than the ones who don't, even though they haven't taken anything away from the ones who don't have huts.

And of the ones who don't have huts demand some of the huts from the people who built them, who is doing the exploiting?

It lost them money but it didn't hurt their brand. Those are great planes to fly in as a passenger, they're just not profitable in the end for Airbus.

Boeing can't even keep its newest plane in the skies, and may have killed off the 737 line for good. Think another revision after the MAX is ever going to be approved?
Airbus and Boeing are widely considered to be the one of most competitive and efficient duopolies on the planet. That might have a lot to do with the fact that they are based in two different large economies and cultures.

The nature of their products and customers, and the scale needed, may not lend itself to having a lot of smaller competitors. Where are the economies of scale (or other efficiencies) going to come from? This may already be reasonably optimal for large aircraft.
Except efficient market theory is a bunch of bullshit that does not fit reality.
The big difference here is who is risking what. When astronauts went to the moon, the only people at risk were the astronauts and possibly the ground crew, all of whom signed up for what they were doing and were trained and aware of the risks.

When I am driving on the highway and I see a pair of headlight way back, I can assume they're doing 60-80 and make a judgement as to whether is safe to change lanes. If that person is violating all social norms and doing 160, then my decision to change lanes could end up with them rearending me due to my complete inability to guess they they are acting in an extremely selfish and antisocial way. They could be the best drivers in the world with millisecond reaction times, but at some point, physics won't allow you to stop in time.

Pilots have been saying this for a long time. But it started with anger towards the constant expansion of the 737 (the 900 has some additional limits that hit hard when icing conditions in some places like Denver). The 757 was the sports car of airliners but with a high price tag (and it never really displaced the 727). As for the A321...it had a rocky start.
Absolutely, but I assumed others were upvoting because they noticed the same problems.

It appears to be intermittent. Not everybody is affected.
The Airbus A220 (formerly the Bombardier C-Series) is a clean sheet design and by most accounts, one of the best designs of its class today. It widely considered to be a next generation commercial aircraft, and will be unsurpassed by competitors for a couple of years until they catch up with newer designs. It’s enjoyed rave reviews by consumers and airplane nerds love it.

Delta has already bought a bunch and I look forward to these planes becoming more and more common.
