I disagree with that. The stuff from the newsroom is basically identical to what you'd read in the New York Times, and doesn't seem very conservatively biased. Put the NYT's CSS on there and you'd not think anything was out of place. There is a little bit more of a focus on "business" articles; what company is buying what other company, how well the semiconductor industry is going to do this year, etc. I never see that in the NYT... but that is certainly not a conservative bias. It's just what they choose to cover.

The editorials are what you'd expect in a conservative newspaper. 50% of them are rah rah about how great Trump is (today's sampling: "Trump Finally Fires Back at Iran"), and the other 50% is how taxes are evil (today's sampling: "How Tariffs Hurt Manufacturing").

I am not sure who reads these or why newspapers pay these opinion columnists / editorial boards. They are always so extreme that they just drive readers away and let them brand the newsroom as "fake news" or "biased", when in reality the newsroom and editorial boards don't even talk with each other. The NYT did a series recently about how the editorial board and opinion columns operate, and it solidified in my mind that they shouldn't exist. It just lowers the reputation of the news-gathering portion of the business, as people associate an editorial they disagree with as bias in the news-gathering.

I read both the WSJ and the NYT because people on HN had me convinced that one was more biased than the other and that I was missing out on deep insights perpetrated by some sort of cabal. A year of reading both has told me that the conspiracy theories are not accurate. Both seem happy to hold the government to account. Neither routinely fabricate stories. You can subscribe to one or the other and not miss a thing. Don't read the editorials unless you are super liberal or super conservative and want some porn along with your morning coffee.
I wonder what the long term healh implications are going to be...
Not every country follows British common law jurisdiction like USA.

Japan, China and Many countries in Europe including Germany follows continental law. So probably just assuming that lawyers presence will change something substantially is not appropriate.

In those system a prosecutor only brings the case when they are convinced there is enough evidence to prosecute otherwise they themselves be on a hook, unlike common law jurisdiction. The only question here should be is the person given chance to defend himself and I believe in this case Japan did give enough chances so much so that the person moved all his wealth with his wife outside of Japan during trial. Send families to secure destinations with all the wealth.

Now himself absconded to a non extradition country. I hope such punishments are meted our to CEO of Enron, Lehman and many others in USA but didn’t happen.

Carlos knew very well the Japanese system when he agreed to work with Nissan. So all those stories of him being a victim is a pr run by his family and money.

If the startup screen allows you to, say, launch an "Open File/Project/Folder" dialog or load one of the recently-worked-on items, but won't let you do anything meaningful - then yes, Yay.

Absolutes can be indispensable when learning. An entire concept can be boiled down to black-and-white, and often can be completely forgotten about while a learner groks the rest of a subject. Part of the path to expertise for a learner is to go back and challenge those absolutes, because those absolutes are now part of the learner's assumptions.

When people espouse absolutes, I generally (not absolutely) assume either they're not experts or they think their audience can't handle nuance.
The other stupid thing about that supposed quote is that the presumption that he must have been wrong may not be justified. Socrates is thought to have lived 470-399BC. By the end of that lifetime, it would have been obvious to an impartial observer that Athenian power was fading; another generation or two later and Athens was no longer an independent power.

Yeah, it seems like the previous generation is always upset about the next generation, but they're not always wrong. Humanity has survived, sure, but most of the civilizations those sentiments were coming from haven't.

In large ATC locations, no - there are always multiple ATCers involved in each position. For smaller locations, there could be a single person working each position without supervision (or the supervisor could be asleep) or even a single person in the entire location (e.g. a small tower).

That single person should still not be able to cause two planes to crash, because pilots don't blindly follow the instructions ATC gives them.

They will be aware of other traffic nearby, through ATC telling them about the traffic, making visual contact with the traffic (when in visual conditions), and hearing the other traffic on the radio (this is an issue in, for example, Spain where the radio communication is often in Spanish and many pilots flying there don't understand Spanish).

There is also a system called TCAS which will alert pilots to nearby traffic, as well as giving instructions for collision avoidance to both aircraft in the case that they are on colliding (or near-colliding) trajectories, with these instructions overriding anything ATC has instructed.

It's only when the holes in all of these systems line up that a collision can happen -- look up the Swiss Cheese model.
> “The United States Government has acknowledged that a major typhoon could break it apart and cause all of the radiation in it to disperse.”

If this is true, why isn't the US government taking responsibility and fix this, RIGHT NOW? If you're just a typhoon away from spreading nuclear waste in the entire pacific, you better start working on a solid fix yesterday. This is beyond criminal neglect of your waste.
Planes don't actually have to strike each other to cause issues.

The turbulence from the engines is enough to cause issues for the next plane. Enough so, that turbulence alone can cause a crash, even if the airplanes never actually touch.

Slowly but surely the system is moving towards an additional layer of communication using text. The system is CPDLC.

The major issue with using it exclusively is that anything outside of ordinary canned messages takes time to type and that’s often exactly the time you do not have time.

Go back to the Miracle on the Hudson. Their radio transmissions are very brief and concise because they are extremely busy in the cockpit. They definitely didn’t have time to fiddle with a tiny keyboard to transmit all of that information.

I think text is going to be a very important layer in the future but it will never completely replace voice transmissions.

I'm pretty sure Ghosn isn't a saint, but he has a strong point regarding the Japanese Legal System which in practical terms is no system at all since if you get accused of something there's an almost 100% chance you'll get convicted no matter what.

Also, AFAIK the Japanese side of the board has been withholding information, straight up lying and everything in between to the other part of the board regarding strategic and everyday operations stuff.

I don't know if it's due to the usual egomania and personal agendas, but if their strategy is to burn the 3rd biggest automaker to the ground and then be kings of their little kingdoms they are doing a great job.
Most unikernels dont have the notion of users, groups, or multiple processes on purpose for security and performance reasons.
Some unikernels use the best in class file systems available like zfs by default.

Containers have all of these. Containers aren't unikernels.

Drivers are way less of a concern cause all you need is a clock, a network driver and a disk driver, not 30 different USB drivers, half a dozen networking drivers and more. Half of linux is just drivers cause it's designed to run on real machines whereas unikernels are explicitly designed to run as vms.

Happy to engage with real life examples on these concerns but the best way to truly understand since there's all sorts of misunderstanding here is to just simply deploy one.

> They are under strong political pressure and will be shut down if Mr. Ghosn is acquitted

Yes, prosecutors are incentivized to close their cases, and yes, Japanese prosecutors are very conservative about choosing which cases to bring. But nobody was threatening to shut anything down (nor would such an action be politically or bureaucratically feasible) based on the outcome of the trial.

How are the GFI payments to SBA the "elephant in the room"?

GFI (controlled by Ghosn) paid SBA (an Omani businessman, Suhail Bahwan) for "marketing incentives." At some point later, SBA paid GFI. The Japanese suggest this was a kickback scheme but 1) the fact that one firm paid another and vice versa is not ipso facto evidence of financial wrongdoing 2) if this really is a kickback scheme, why such low sums of money relative to his net worth?

The other accusation in the articles you reference is that GFI made payments to a company named "Shogun Investments", of which Ghosn's son was involved, and that he directed those funds to his own financial startup, "Shogun Enterprises", which then possibly used the funds to buy a yacht.

The first charge has no clear basis for impropriety, and the second is against Ghosn's son, not Ghosn (and btw, even if Ghosn's son did misuse investor funds -- and he denies doing so -- it wouldn't be the first startup in the world to do so).

Unless you can explain to me something I'm missing these accusations do not strike me as "the elephant in the room."

I had never heard of Justina Pelletier until today. As someone with substantial familiarity with how things work in the social services portions of Massachusetts state government as well as the culture of the state (I grew up and currently live in MA) her story does not surprise me in the slightest. This general pattern of one wrong call in how a case is handled being perpetuated through the rest of the case is not an uncommon pattern when things go badly.

People in this state very much take for granted that the administrative portion of government is competent and knows what it's doing. Government here is generally competent but there are many pockets of incompetent political appointees and totally under-resourced teams and there's no way of telling which is which from the outside. People also take as fact the word of big important prestigious organizations that are experts in what they do (and with good reason, they are usually right). BCH and similar may be experts as a whole and government may be competent in general but these institutions are made up of people and people aren't perfect and they get things wrong sometimes. Someone at BCH clearly made the wrong call. That wrong call got plopped on the desk of some overworked bureaucrat who takes it at face value because they're overworked and they're experts so why not trust them, they made the wrong call. So then the next person at BCH sees in this girl's file that she came in for X, got referred to the state, the state took her from her parents and that influences how they treat her going forward. This goes on and you get a heck of a feedback loop because everyone is just content to assume that the state and the experts know best and the parents are just whining about it. Nobody is in a position to evaluate the big picture and even if they do how do you stop the loop and say "hey wait, this looks wrong". I could fill a novel with all the sob stories like this that I know though most of them relate to drug addicts and the elderly so they wouldn't tug a heartstrings nearly as much as this story does. The culture of the state simply does not equip people in "the system" (both the government and private institutions like BCH) to doubt or re-evaluate the prior results of the system and the conditions of the state bureaucracy are not sufficient for the bureaucrats to reliably make the right calls the first (and often only) time around. It's sad but it is what it is. This is a complex problem that many societies grapple with and not the kind of thing any individual can change on their own.

Yes, empathetic 1:1 conversation is critical, and yes you can have a huge impact on those around you. But this has nothing to do with keeping up to date with news. Facts will not change your racist uncle's opinion. 99% of the news you consume will have absolutely 0 effect on your ability to convince others to be better.

Develop a vision for your life. Become an expert in topics that are important to you. Read good books, befriend interesting people, and focus on problems where you can make a large difference, and inspire others to do so as well. Daily news plays no role in this.
Yeah I used to struggle through Le Monde in French. It was eye-opening to get a very different perspective on everything: art and culture as well as politics.

At least then the homeless would have guaranteed access to shelter, food and medical care, and likely drug treatment and employment programs.

It's more humane than lining public spaces with spikes and caltrops to drive the homeless away like unwanted animals, and Americans would likely much rather pay taxes to jail the homeless than to subsidize "socialist" initiatives like public housing and food distribution.
