Fares have come down in absolute dollar terms (let alone inflation adjusted) over the last twenty years, while economy seat sizes have barely changed.

What has changed is yield management — airlines have got much better at flying with as few empty seats as possible. So the main thing that has gone down to allow prices to decrease in real terms is your chance of getting an empty seat next to you.

Given that they got Lululemons’ COO, they probably already had a contract with him/her. After the article came out they probably sped up when they were going to announce it.

Also I feel like a lot of this type of stuff is coming out now towards the holiday season so that a lot of people would somewhat forget about everything thats going on now.

True.

The real question is: why aren't we seeing products yet ?
I learned the other day that to simulate panic at some point they started giving money to the passengers who got out first. They said nothing about the amount, but as far as I could understand it actually worked.

Edit: this was in a program about the Manchester plane fire in 1985 where 55 people died. The details are from the part about the investigation after the fire.
But in order for affordable housing to drive economic growth it needs to be in areas with lots of good jobs. Just imagine if you could rent a decent apartment in silicon valley for $600 a month, we'd see an explosion of new companies and jobs!
I'm pretty sure many airlines already have cameras looking at your face.

The last few international United Airlines flights I was on had IR LEDs just below the seat entertainment screen shining in my face the whole flight. I worked for an 3D camera company at the time and was pretty tuned in to IR (~850 nm) LED's dim red glow. There is no reason for them being there unless there are cameras looking at your face.

It's okay. Every time there's a discussion about Magit, people bring their favorite Git GUI to tell everyone how stoked they are to use it. I myself have tried several of them. However, majority of those apps are like Steve Yegge would put it: "are cookie-cutter solutions". Whenever you need a quick way of doing something that's not built into the tool, you have no option but to submit a feature request and wait. Sometimes wait for a very long time. With Magit you can just do it yourself. Emacs lisp is not super difficult to pick up. Besides, there are bunch of forums where people would happily help you.

One small example: I needed to see log of commits since the last pull, basically `git log ORIG_HEAD..HEAD`, but in a way that's compatible with Magit, otherwise I would just do it in the command line. It's not something that people would do very often, it's not usually built into the client. To get something like that to work with Magit, literally takes a single line of emacs-lisp.
Do you consider the presence or absence of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act to be "ministry of truth"?

Would you consider regulations about how precisely targeted ads may be to be "ministry of truth"?

There are a lot of ways in which the behavior of this industry could be shaped (and already has been shaped) that are not obviously manipulating social discourse in the way that "ministry of truth" implies.
This is an SF thing - that kind of environment simply doesn’t exist outside the city to my knowledge.

The rest of the Bay Area still deals with teachers and service workers unable to live without a lot of assistance due to really high real estate and rents. My local school district lost a dozen teachers and aides last 2 years due to this.
Other Minds, about cephalopods, is written by a philosopher, not a biologist or neuroscientist, so take it with a grain of salt[1]. I would also recommend _Octopus_ by Anderson, Mather, and Wood, who are actual biologists.

[1] Specifically, cephalopods are very intelligent compared to other invertebrates, but that's it. It's interesting because they represent a parallel evolution of greater intelligence outside the vertebrates, and because what they can do with that intelligence is greatly enhanced by their physical capabilities. Give a fish a human brain and it will have trouble twisting a lid open.
There's nothing wrong with chicken breast, especially if the skin is left on and crisped. It just lends itself to different applications than thigh.
There are a couple of wide body configurations that have 2x3x2 seating in economy, but I'm a little incredulous too. Unless they are pretending that's a regional jet :)
Maybe it's better in my memory then.

But HL1 is ~22 years old. Any innovation that was groundbreaking for its time has been absorbed I suppose. It's like how the first time I heard the Ramones I thought they sounded really tame and more like the beach boys than anything else. Because I'd come to them after fugazi, minor threat, dead kennedys, and all the pop punk stuff that came after those. My context was all screwed up because of the intervening years.

It's like how I read a comment on here once. Someone had read william gibson's neuromancer and thought it was really cliche and trite. I read that comment and I was like, yeah, it's cliche and trite because everybody copied it! We made it that way.
On the other hand, if you pick a TreeMap--- odds are it will be a non-issue either way.

If it does show up on your profiles, it's easy to reconsider and say "I don't think I'll ever access this in order, after all..." and change it and see if you see a benefit.
The camera will be used to automatically pause the ads when your eyes are closed.
It's not accurate though. See other replies.

Omg now this is seriously on the level of worst third world countries! Wtf is even going on there?!
Hard sleepers in China have everyone hanging out on the bottom bunk during the day, their are three levels of bunks, and the top bunk is not for the claustrophobic. Still a bit more comfortable than flying economy, and pretty cheap also (though they are disappearing as HSR trains replace them).

I took an overnight ferry from Shanghai once to putuoshan (maybe in 2004?), I’m guessing it was similar to your experience 3 years ago.
What exactly is the privacy risk there?

The airline already knows who is sitting in the seat, and also their ff#
This isn't really "othering", though. It's similar to a two-sided-market, where the Elites sit as the middle-platform and transmit value between the existing state or corporate institutions and the, well, not-elite. And then this latter group transmits value back via an extraction mechanism employed by this Elite.

It “has to be the case” because the company has fewer than 500 employees? That’s very weak reasoning. Is no story about mismanagement at a company with fewer than 500 employees genuine? They’re all just manufactured PR stunts? Can you in any way justify this bizarre claim?
You read that wrong, most people aren't conscientious and those who are conscientious are likely to get a college education.
I think the bigger mystery is why there are less fundamental laws than inevitable ones. That the universe principles arise from simple rules.

How comes there are not millions of different quark types? Why not 5180 fundamental forces? Going smaller nature becomes simpler.

It is hard to express but I have always felt this universe has a complexification ability, where at every level it seems possible for simple rules to lead to complex outcomes.
they look more like old school first class seats. the problem with sleeping on a plane has to do with circulation -- it's actually hard on the heart to pump blood from your feet with you're motionless for hours at a time on a plane. If they really wanted to solve this, they'd do one of two things:

1) they would shift the time of departure from 6p - midnight to 3 am. They'd let everyone sleep in a special part of the gate area which would close to passengers not on the flight. Passengers could also go on board the plane and sleep while it is at the gate if they preferred. About 30 minutes before departure everyone would be awakened and they would board. This would avoid having to arrive 2 hours ahead of time and the delayed departure would still get the passengers to their destination at a reasonable time.

OR

2) they would get rid of the overhead section of the plane for redeye flights. They would stack horizontal chairs three high and everyone would be horizontal for the entire flight.
This is a great point. The vast majority of people should simply get a job at a FAANG in their 20s with no degree, rather than wasting their time in a classroom.
> You'd be surprised just how angsty the C levels are with this cloud computing and developers with near-free reign.

The flip side of this is the C levels who have absolutely no experience monitoring cloud spend but have heard the marketing pitches or smelled the "best practices" in the air and are sure that moving to cloud services needs to happen yesterday whether or not demand patterns justify it.
Maybe, maybe not. A codebase that hasn't been integrated into your development process and is completely unknown to the development team is as likely to slow down your company as speed it up. At least if you write it from scratch you learn a lot while writing it, you have deep knowledge of how it works, and your team isn't pissed off that they need to suffer through someone else's legacy software.

I've seen plenty of ground up rewrites work, but I have almost never seen legacy software moved to a completely new team successfully.

Retargeting can be quite effective, along with other forms of first-party data used for targeting- such as CRM data to inform which ads are relevant.

Behavioral data using 3rd parties like Neustar / Lotame have more dubious results, but still rake in billions each year from ad buyers that fastidiously track their ROI.

Most online display works to reinforce messaging in other forms of media, or win over new audiences with sheer volume.
To me the solution is simple, make college debt dischargable through bankruptcy. The only people who are actually going to declare bankruptcy are people who aren't and can't pay for their loans in the first place. It isn't just a simple reset button like people pretend, declaring bankruptcy has a serious repercussions, but at the end of it all they will end up in a better position and will contribute far more to the economy than they will stuck in a poverty trap.
Not a problem in my country. Every time I flew internally people were texting and watching youtube all the way to the point where the crew had to tap on their shoulder before take-off to switch to airplane mode or shut them off.

So my guess this has to do with article's author personal experience on his/her country implementation of technology.
Correlation for sure. Causation? Maybe in part. The cost of dubbing is very much higher that subtitling. So dubbing was only used when the target market was large enough. Larger language groups are more robust against cultural imperialism due to a more significant internal cultural market. Even science, which has universaly adopted English in Europe, was still written in French and German in their respective countries right up to the 1980s.
“eyes open” vs “eyes closed” is a face detection problem, not a recognition one.

I'm not proposing anything, I'm asking for a concrete explanation of the supposed security hole. I agree that ASLR isn't a complete security solution and never implied otherwise.

AFAIU, the entire security benefit here is due to ASLR alone. If an exploit manages to track down libc, it can go right ahead and make all the system calls it wants. (Unless there's some other piece to the puzzle that I've missed? Is there something special about libc in particular?) As such, I still don't understand how the called-once restriction is supposed to meaningfully increase security - by the time you've found the msyscall() function, you've also found _all the others_ anyway.
They probably put it in to do gaze tracking in the hopes of selling that data back to movie studios/advertisers. I'm not sure if they currently sell this data, but I'm sure we will find out when/if some disclaimer flashes on the screen in the beginning of the flight.
That's an easy conclusion to take, but I would observe it's pretty difficult to shop seat size, and the plane can be swapped for a different one at any time without warning. I understand seat upgrades like economy plus can also be revoked at boarding time.
It's known for quite a while that only a minuscule fraction[1] of the digital advertising results in actual conversion. But, marketers have come into terms that even it is worth spending large money; it's just that only those without a large budget and expecting miracles out of digital advertising end up as total losers.

Then again, with the influencers/celebrity culture, the landscape of digital advertising has changed. Hence, Instagram supposedly leads when it comes to organic conversions. Good news here is, those who don't want such ads can stay away from the platform (or) that influencer. Bad news is, it is resulting in creating hoards of gullible, programmable masses with little effort, who can be exploited for various nefarious activities which can have an effect even outside of those platforms.

Is Capitalism a Sustainable Design?
And this is capitalism, it’s designed to take, take, and take, in fact if they were to get away with it, businesses wouldn’t pay taxes. It’s akin to feeding your hunting dog on meatless bones - you will soon go hungry too. Is this a sustainable design?
Can’t they just put “are you still there” button like Netflix? Would be cheaper and less creepy.
Beds in Asia often don’t have a lot of padding, they aren’t designed for side sleepers, you would be on your back quickly. Incidentally, a wooden chinese bed will cure you of side sleeping in a few days if you ever want to go that route. I found my sleep was better, but I reverted back to side sleeping quickly after getting to use a normal western bed again (after about six months of using the Chinese bed).
Thanks for the feedback. It's probably best to have the comment deleted. I have a strong and visceral reaction to seeing somebody from a background of wealth and privilege force extremely low paid workers (in NYC, no less) into 80 hour work weeks. But that definitely came out the wrong way.

There is probably a more productive discussion to be had about labor laws, overtime pay and the disparity in net worth between CEOs and persons trying to live on 40k a year in New York, but that clearly wasn't it.

On the other hand, if an airline offered these seats, I'd definitely choose them over the competition.

Better seats might not drive more seat upgrades, but it might drive more traffic to your airline.
Yay! Social physics :) There's a great Authors at Google talk by Sandy Pentland, about his book of the same name. Gives a good overview of the book, but 100% still worth a read after watching, esp if you are someone who works with (or would like to work with) large groups of people -- event organizing, companies, community, group facilitation, etc.

In addition to the limited number of cache slots available for superpages (varies depending on cpu), remember that those can be invalidated (again, depending on cpu). If you're ping-ponging processes on a single CPU, you won't necessarily have what you need in the TLB.
That is fair. I didn't think it read that way and didn't intend it attackingly but factually.

I can't edit that comment anymore though.
I think you’re confusing WKWebView with SFSafariViewController. Content blockers are not used for WKWebView. You can use your own content blocking logic via the appropriate delegate calls, but the “system-wide” content blockers are not inherited from Safari.
This pretty much seems like a fragile 'patch' that workaround small issue that

concerns:
- People that having hard time sleeping in couch would most likely be more sensitive even in 'premium' seats.

- This still not solve the REAL debate of whether bending your seat should be event allowed since it reduces the other passengers space unless he's also going with the domino...

In Belgium, a country that got an early lead in cable coverage, there were antennas at the North Coast specifically placed for receiving the BBC broadcasts and feeding it into the analog cable system.
I have given up on airlines doing right by the customers, I simply pay more for premium economy seats now.
What's more, git core comes with `git gui`, which lets you stage line by line. It's not the slickest of tools, but it does the job just fine.
As opposed to defining a hash code for everything, yes. Parent asserts that writing obviously-correct comparators is easier.
I upgraded to premium economy for $80 and the two friends I was traveling with gave me shit about it at both ends of the flight. All three of us were highly paid at the time. "That's over 10%!" exclaimed one (flights were ~$700). Uh, ok? I'm gonna physically and mentally torture myself for five ours over $80?

I'm sure there's a fascinating behavioral evolution story behind this and I'd love to know what it is. It feels similar to the way lots of people will spend more time and money driving to a cheaper gas station, than they save on the cheaper gas.
> To allow for recovery of message history, you have to escrow the secret somewhere.

You seem to be missing the point here: this isn't even about storing your data on someone else's computer with some kind of key escrow, this is about local backups not even working. Apple only recently implemented iMessage "sync", but before that (and still now), iMessage data was backed up to your Mac and accessible in your backup, without any concern about it being on some server or key escrow issues. Signal is simply missing the ability to get your own data out of the app on iOS. (And like, to really underscore how this is not a fundamental issue with Signal, their Android app does have a data export feature. They just don't think this is important enough to prioritize for some crazy reason.)

Those seats with wings better be vinyl, otherwise there's going to be a lot of drool that's impossible to clean between flights.
40k a year for what sounds like 65-80 hour works weeks, and a daily torrent of Slack abuse from the CEO just sounds like a new level of purgatory for the rank and file workers. 40k gross in NYC with both federal, state and city income taxes, and cost of living in NYC, is truly a pittance.
I think we still have too poor understanding of the what to be pondering the why. If past history is any guide, such attempts tend to mislead - e.g. Einstein's "God doesn't play dice".
Yeah, we took hard sleepers in China in the early 90s. Loved how chaotic it was. You have to be comfortable with strangers around though. I remember the sleepers in Thailand were really hot with fans everywhere, but had curtains at least - more like submarine bunks. Also have great memories of a 3 day ship from Shanghai to HK, just not the sleeping quarters. We would learn Mahjong from the elderly Chinese and play the 2-3 arcade games.
>a very small elite that are fearful of taking _real_ risk.

Shouldn't it be the opposite? If I was worth a gajillion dollars, I could spread it over many many bets. That diversification would let me take higher risk bets compare to if that gajillion was spread over a larger number of people.

I have no idea where you guys are working and getting those salaries in the Seattle area, which is what I’m talking about.

Personal experience shows that poor results from targeted ads is usually because of a) poor product, b) poor audience targeting, c) poor creative, or d) poor testing and tracking.

There's an entire cottage industry of marketers (especially affiliate marketers) who make a lot of money through targeted ads. Unlike big brands, they can't afford to throw money at branded campaigns; they have to see results. If they continue to patronize ads, it means that they are getting conversions.

I've always found the knees hitting the seat thing an amazing variation of human anatomy. My wife is 6' tall with long legs and will have 3 or more inches to spare on leg room, while I know people shorter than 5'10" who constantly complain about their knees hitting the seat in front of them.

It does seem like truly exceptionally tall people would have a reasonable disability accommodation claim to be put in premium economy if they really can't fit their legs in.
So what's the problem? Commit often, make a bunch of commits. Or commit into the same commit over and over (<c e> - extend). Then depending on level of granularity you can either group related things together, or break one big commit into a bunch of smaller ones.

Rebasing with Magit is a joy, it feels like you're a tailor and you just need to cut the fabric into nice pieces, and if sometimes things get too big or too small, you can always quickly fix it. And even when it feels that you accidentally ruined everything, you can always look at the reflog and un-ruin everything back to normal.

"As with many other airlines, some of our premium seats have in-flight entertainment systems that came with cameras installed by the manufacturer," a United Airlines spokesperson said. "None of these cameras were ever activated and we had no plans to use them in the future, however, we took the additional step to cover the cameras."
