Even if Boeing is "not allowed to fail," the outcome for equity shareholders could be very negative (and frankly, they deserve to take the biggest bite of the turd sandwich if Stoller's analysis of Boeing's accounting risk is correct). A close historical parallel would probably be the 2009 automaker bailouts, although I suppose one might guess that Trump will pursue more of a nakedly corrupt giveaway to Boeing shareholders.
As a candidate, I've always preferred polite "thanks, but no thanks" responses in a timely manner. The other kind of feedback that I like is things like, "we need people with a different background / experience than you have."

IMO, judgement feedback (you screwed up how you handle your yak shaving, or I don't think we'll get along with each other) is too subjective to be constructive.

And, I get it. As someone who's interviewed a lot of candidates, my biggest fear is hiring someone who is either incompetent or difficult to get along with. Evaluating a candidate is so subjective that feedback beyond "your experience doesn't match our needs" is just flame bait, or worse.

To paraphrase Joel Spolsky: It's safer to pass on a good candidate than hire a bad employee.

But Shopify hold the transaction fee and charge 2% on top. So really in the end. Shopify is not that much cheaper. Considering bigcommerce doesnt charge this. I am bullish on the long term of bigcommerce. Or anything that goes after the small medium business.

I don’t think Shopify could sustain a real entrance by Adobe with Magento, or a product in the same space from someone like Microsoft. As these companies know developer tooling and in the end. Shopify needs developers. Developers don’t need Shopify.

> I'd rather have the climate change than have to fear

And here is the crux of the problem, you'll be long dead before Life gets impacted by climate change. That's why a lot of people simply don't care.

> every 12 years or so people warn us about the end of the world in 12 years

You have to make a distinction between Nostradamus&co and science though, everything isn't equal. It might be blown out of proportion but we don't know how far we fucked up yet because earth climate is complex, duh, and composed of an infinite amount of codependent variables.

> If people were serious about pollution, they'd boycott China and India.

You can't do that since the 70s, virtually everything you touch was manufactured or altered abroad. You can't have a globalized capitalist world AND tell people to boycott products from the so called "factory of the world". Reminds me of all these people posting "eh look, all the most polluting rivers are outside of the US, it's not my problem, fuck them" from a made in china iphone, while sipping an Ecuadorian coffee from a made in china starbucks cup, wearing a made in Thailand shirt and a Vietnamese pair of jeans.

> more interested in the anti-capitalist part than they are the pollution part.

It might be hard to swallow but hear me out: what if these two things are correlated ? capitalism/globalism put economical profit above all else with little to no regards for long term side effects. It's an endless and boundless quest for "progress", consumption and growth, there is no notion of limit, the long term plans are for the next 15 years, not the next 1500 years, &c.

> For example, the pollution generated in the United States has been significantly declining without resorting to mob-rule collective action.

What about the pollution generated to produce what Americans consume ? It's easy to delocalize everything to Asia and point the finger. Remember: capitalism -> global economy-> global problems

> Why is it the United States that is in the crosshairs of every environmental group?

I think you're projecting, as far as I know most environmental parties are protesting locally in their home country. If you're and American living in the US I would encourage you to check international news. It really is the same thing in every developed countries.

Also, when will we stop with the "everything I disagree with must be fascism ?" I love how the current quasi-forced consumerism is accepted, and even loved, but being "forced" to better the planet for _ourselves_ is Mao level fascism.

It does go stage by stage, so get a good feel for the proof of Wilson's theorem first. That gives you most of the necessary tools for the insight in the next step.

> On the last paragraph: I had thought (assumed?) that, in the integers mod p, (a * b)/b was hard if p was large. Is there an algorithm better than O(p) for this?

You can find the multiplicative inverse in Z_p by using an extended Euclidean Algorithm, which works in O(log p), and hence is trivial.

> My group was the complex integers modulo p. Now to do (a * b)/b, you have to find both the real and imaginary components of a.

Probably similarly efficient, as the Euclidean Algorithm works in the Gaussian Integers, but I haven't checked it.

You are fundamentally correct, a person doesn't hold a belief or opinion for no reason. I was specifically (attempting to) refer to "seemingly illogical" conservatism, where there is established fact or science that the 'conservative opinion / action' appears to be working against (climate change, trickle-down economics, backdooring encryption, wind farms).

Specifically where the 'conservative' position doesn't just not quite line up with, but is diametrically opposed to the commonly accepted experts opinion.
I host a Plex instance on a server on my home network, and struggled with setting up external access because my ISP at the time had a double NAT. What I ended up doing was renting a super cheap VPS from TINYKVM (https://tinykvm.com/) which I pay $15 a year for.

I point my DNS at the VPS, then I use the Zerotier VPN to tunnel traffic to my home server (Zerotier is embarrassingly easy to set up - I struggled for a while with OpenVPN but gave up). I use iptables packet forwarding to route traffic on port 443 or 80 from the VPS over the VPN to my local server, which is running an Nginx instance to serve the traffic.

This works perfectly for me 99% of the time. Main pain points have been the unreliability of hosting a server locally where Internet can die and power drop off, and a small amount of sysadmining on the VPS, which is so tiny that I have to be mindful of disk space (e.g. removing old Linux upgrade images every so often, etc). All told though, it works surprisingly seamlessly, and there's a certain smugness to knowing traffic from my smart TV goes all the way round the world and back through a VPN just to talk to my server sitting one foot below the TV.
So there's some master SGX private key burned into all Intel processors?

Edit: I found a description and it does sound like they store a master key in all CPUs!

https://blog.quarkslab.com/overview-of-intel-sgx-part-2-sgx-...

It is stored in e-fuses, which can be read, but it is encrypted using a Physical Unclonable Function, which means to read it you would need the CPU to be running. Very difficult but I'd be surprised if it were impossible.

It’s not possible because it’s simply not easy to measure many complicated things, such as job growth over many years due to specific actions or infrastructure development that takes a decade or more, but politicians go in and out quicker and voters minds don’t pay attention for that long.
The US has always done bad things. That's how you get so much quantity of stuff, but behind it all there are grains of good if you look.

The reaction to 9/11 was interesting for most it was unpredictable and the day the US stopped being the untouchable top dog. It is easy to feel sympathy for an attack on home soil that had already delivered the aims of the aggressors who died in the attack, there were few loose threads. It became black and white.

The fall of gwbush in that time period really degraded the faith in the rich old white guy. The belief it was all under control and we could blindly have faith that the great president has it all sorted was deeply undermined. That warm and free feeling from the 90s died on 9/11.

As long as the next tragedy is just bad, I.e. incompetent or silly the US will be okay. If something truly evil comes out there's going to be trouble.

Cable landing stations are generally a bit further away from ports and such. They're also heavily armored when near the shore for this particular reason.

The fact that Airbus are fly by wire doesn't mean they are "unstable".

They might be, but fly by wire does not imply that.

For the record, I don't believe Airbus plans are unstable in the way the MAX is, whose instability, from what I understand, came about because they were trying to fit larger engines on the original 737 frame (to prevent pilot retraining), and so had to move the wings higher.
I agree that playing and/or creating music is closer to programming than is often appreciated.

I also think that there is great value engaging in crafting things with your hands if you're a programmer, specifically. At least, there is for me. Even though there is a certain amount of overlap, working with my hands engages a different part of my brain than working with code. Doing that is a bit like a mental vacation for me, and I often have insights into whatever software problem I'm having while doing it, because while my mind is active, the "programming part" is allowed to relax. And the greatest insights often come under those circumstances.

I'm not saying unstable planes cannot be built, just that I don't trust a company that's already had 2 planes go down to get it right.

A quick google search seemed to imply most unstable airframes were military or experimental, not commercial. Unstable airframes are not appropriate for commercial airliners unless you can point to a good reason. "We don't want to train pilots" is a bad reason. The FAA should have pushed back very hard on this point.

Personally I think the flaws in the 737-MAX design process were so deep that it would be safest to just scrap the plane. It's not that the issues cannot be fixed, but rather that we'd be better off starting over from scratch knowing that good design principles will be followed the whole time.
My understanding is that the second sensor was listed as optional and not required. Therefore airlines decided to not select the option to save costs.

This is not the airlines fault. The second sensor should not have been optional if failure of the first sensor might lead to catastrophic failure.

Floats aren’t reals, at best they are an approximation for certain calculations. +0 and -0 are defined and distinct floating point numbers. Floating point math is known to be problematic and does not evenly distribute numbers on the real line either. There are numerical methods used for reducing error on floating point operations when it is acceptable. Otherwise fixed point or intervals may be used.
Underwater volcanoes (rock slides) are the biggest threat to cables when you get into the deep ocean. The cables are much more thin (less armoring then when near the shore). The other fault encountered in the deep (no anchor risk) is from amplifiers failing on the cable which is a long process to get a ship out to replace.

The continuing improvements to procedural macros are great!

I do a fair amount of integration with C, and the work the rust team is doing for procedural macros has helped a lot. Being able to use them in an extern blocks will surely help more.

Like many, I have a wish list that I complain about sometimes, but I feel bad about complaining because rust has done so much to improve my use case I don't know where to begin. I should write up a blog post about all of the difficulty I had, and how each release since around 1.28 has introduced features that solved these problems one by one.

To me, Rust/C interop is the killer feature. Not only is it a low-level language that can be used instead of C, it can also be used to extend C applications. I'm sure it was not easy to do this well, but what a great strategic decision by the rust team to spend the effort on it!

True, but the article gives also zero proof that anything disreputable has been going on in terms of accounting. While maybe not as straightforward, it does also not sound illogical to spread development costs across the early sales phase of an aircraft.

Agreed. A lot of times they seemed to use the ole "make a blog post about X and we'll call it documentation" strategy that a lot of others seem to be employing as well. The net result is useless documentation that is often outdated by the time a product is live. However, that doesn't change the fact that it's still the top search engine result for the topic or the de facto page many link to within their own actual 'documentation'.
The amazing thing to me is how much less per year Boeing burns than Uber.
It's enough to keep the company alive, but even the most hawkish US politicians aren't going to throw enough federal cash at Boeing to keep them running in anything resembling their current scale and capabilities if they go under.
This is a credential stuffing attack.

Why did they add it? Why not? I'm betting when they logged in that info came back as part of the API call.
"1) The problems with the 737-MAX are fixable and will be fixed (either in a new airplane name by branding, or with time as people trust the new MAX variant again)"

The public doesn't trust these planes. It doesn't matter how fixable they are.

Secondly, its not a software problem, the plane is structurally deficient. A problem they tried to solve with software. These planes cannot fly without a computer adjusting them to keep the balance, something that is not true of any other major aircraft. The problem can be solved with software, but its more like a bandaid.

EDIT:

Heres a quick explanation of the plane:

The 737 engines used too much fuel so to make a more attractive plane for poorer countries, Boeing decided to install more efficient engines with bigger fans, creating the 737 MAX.

Boeing used a 737 airframe for economic reasons (it was way cheaper, didn't require pilot retraining), but needed more ground clearance for bigger engines. The 737 design cant be practically modified to have taller main landing gear. The solution was to mount to engines higher on the plane. This made the plane more unstable, so they slapped the software solution on. This "fixed" the problem, but then the plane was more complex to fly, which led to the crashes. But Boeing didn't want a plane that required retraining, so they hid the complexity of the software solutions, which led to crashes because the pilots didn't know what was going on.
Because it's a sensitive subject.

While every carrier makes mistakes, the difference is that the USPS is legally required to deliver to you. When you don't get your USPS mail, it is a mistake, and they're required to do something about it.

When some people don't get their UPS/FedEx/etc, if you call up to complain, the answer is "Oh yeah, we don't service your address. Have a nice day."

Functioning governments really really need a way to physically deliver items to a person in a way that cannot be replaced by private carriers or email systems. This isn't about you getting your Amazon packages or your power bill. This is about the operational stability of basic government services.

There are places in the US where UPS and FedEx do not deliver, and people live there -- people who the US government is legally required to correspond with. They cannot fulfill those obligations without the USPS.
First, those three links all describe the same Vanity Fair interview. One cite, not three. The Vice link attempts to find the emails he claimed to send.

Second, emailing NSA lawyers is not the same as filing a whistleblower complaint. The Vice link makes the claim that contractors are not covered by whistleblower law, but certainly, he’s never provided any evidence that he actually tried to initiate that process...by contacting an attorney, for example.

Third, he has every incentive to lie, and it’s just absurd to suggest otherwise. He will be arrested and deported should he venture pretty much anywhere outside of Russia. His only recourse is convincing people that he is being unfairly persecuted.
The point of homoiconocity is that your macro language is your language. And your data structure language is your language. As well as your AST language. They are all the same.

So the author is right about observing that "intermediate ast" and "ast" share the same concrete syntax and macros transform one into the other. But macros are also defined in that language. Furthermore the output of your program is definitely in that language.

This is part of the problem. Boeing needs to be broken up. They should have never been allowed to merge with McDonnell Douglas, and their civil aviation unit should be a separate entity from their government contracting business.

It's essentially a way of storing your password hash in the cloud such that nobody - not even the cloud providers - can read the hash and try to brute force it. All anyone can do is send password attempts to the cloud server's SGX system, which in theory is completely private, even to the host OS.

It also provides a way for the client to verify the code that is running in the SGX system, so you know you're sending your password attempts to some program that really does do all this fancy stuff. You don't have to take Signal's word for it.

It's basically equivalent to the chip in iPhones that stores your PIN and counts failed attempts. Except it's in the cloud and distributed, which is way harder to do.
