Interesting idea but I don't think it's true. Unless I am missing something, the "plane dot" is at or almost at horizon level. After the explosion you can see that at the position of the "dot" is something that looks like a building or a tower. Light from that could be the dot that we saw.

Another thing is that the "fireball" seems to be losing parts, I'm not sure if missile trails leave puffs of flames behind, but this one looks like it did. Having flaming pieces fall off from a plane would look like that.
You watch too much CNN or MSNBC to dredge up the disproven Russiagate conspiracy theory FUD. Maybe you should wait for investigators to provide their preliminary findings, eh?
While I would say you shouldn't fully trust some people, coming up with wild conspiracy theories don't help.

Not trusting people with money (regardless if it's a lot) says something about society in general. People should understand that even amongst the rich, people are very different and diverse despite being in the same socioeconomic class.

Okay, fair point. Googles' business is literally selling access to all the data they have collected from you. So they are not selling your data, only the access to that data, that's right.
I think one problem with this approach is that maybe less scientists will take on fields / topics where the data is inherently elusive or just very hard to get. Could be rare natural phenomena, highly sensitive data, or whatnot. Maybe the collection of data is so prohibitively expensive or specialized, that other researchers are not able to recreate the process accurately enough, which in turn leads to irreproducibility.

Most of the ways our government wanted us to change in the last century were fairly positive and actually barely controversial.

It's the controversial one's we talk about.
To be fair, the USA has higher rates of shooting down passenger planes in Iranian airspace, so we should probably chill and wait for actual investigations to be done.
That makes it a 737 NG. The NG’s structural components were mostly manufactured (badly) by a subcontractor, Ducommun, but Boeing insisted on installing them anyhow. In 2010, there was a cover-up and a whistleblower; Al Jazeera broke it in a long-form documentary that apparently no one watched.
Luckily the whole industry stopped accepting "pilot error" as a cause for accidents in the 70s. If a mistake by a human can cause an airliner to crash, the processes and checks are wrong and will be changed.
Edit - Related in that I used vim and probably won't again:

I recently did an interview where I had to implement something to flatten a deeply nested structure into a map of path -> value.

The interviewee's had me use VIM. That was my first real dive into it. Solved the problem, already forget how to use VIM. :)

Hezbollah not. But a trigger-happy revolutionary guard, on code RED.
Also the mid-air explosion and shrapnel marks in the photos remind everyone on the MH17.
1. People are just learning about this incident
2. It's extremely relevant have you not seen the news?

It has nothing to do with being pro-war or anti-war, it's relevant because it's worth understanding what's going on in our world and the layers of deception from all sides.
This isn't a max 8
If so, it would be not too unlike MH17 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17 , and also a bitterly ironic echo of Iran Air 655 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655 .
Thanks to Github, git is the standard for non-professional software development as well. My kids are in high school and they're using it.

Yes, but maybe they care less about using Git compared to another VCS as long as the other VCS interacts with Git and they can put their repo on GitHub. The question is:

If you can use a VCS that is easier to learn/use than Git and that is compatible with Git so that you can put your repo on GitHub if you want to, would you use it? If no, why?

My guess is that most professional programmers would answer "No, because Git is an industry standard and I need to know Git to get a good job", while other people that write code but have no intention on becoming professional programmers are much more likely to answer "Sure, why not!".

If you ask your kids, I'd love to know what they said :)

Gitless looks great. It looks like you nailed all the main issues I have with git. If you ensure that people never have to use the regular git interface, maybe it'll take off. I hope so!

That is what makes it problematic, but then again MH17 was also flying a regular route.

People on edge make mistakes, and this plane was not flying on schedule which could have been what caused them to misidentify the plane. In a normal situation they'd investigate but this was not a normal situation.
No, there isn't. And an engine fire does not cause an airliner to crash. We all train those every 6 months in the simulator, if you get that wrong you'll fail the sim check and not get back to flying commercially until you've done remedial training and a satisfactory check fight.

So there is more to this crash than just an engine fire, or simple "pilot error"

No 747 has been used for mainstream commercial passenger service for almost a year because it’s an old, uneconomical design that simply can’t compete anywhere except in cargo.

The GP made unfounded claims about terrorist groups. I wouldn’t be surprised if you were right, but we should be careful not to conflate different actors.
It seem likely that negotiating Boeing's involvement is going to be tense, with things as they are right now.
yeah, I was poking at the joke :)
For what it's worth, I don't think that's a bad thing. Assuming you're talking about jQuery and the like, what was adopted to the specifications is the consensus of many years and wouldn't have been predictable in the first few of that library's history. I mean, frontend land is incredibly fragmented and browsers are no operating systems. Clean APIs and stability, to me, are worth far more than being quick to adopt the latest trend. Otherwise we get competing pet standards again, "made for firefox / chrome" buttons, without significant developer adoption. Libraries and shimming aren't inherently bad, single line libraries on NPM are.

Good point. I concede. I'd still expect them to declare an emergency but it's possible that the event was so catastrophic they didn't find the time.

People love to complain about Webpack, but it pretty much does all of this out of box, all the way down to hot-reloading UI components. In that sense it's way ahead of all C++, C#, Java, etc build systems I know.

Doing an `npm run dev` type of command in a reasonably set up JS project is very much this staged execution model the author talks about. Everything gets cached, on disk and in memory, only changes are recompiled, and reloads are fast, partial, and often hot-swapped. It's quite close to the maximum level of "liveness" I can imagine.

It's kind of amazing how JS took over older and more established languages in this sense - and we're still not content (judging by how popular it is to complain about webpack). This is great.
Those look pretty good, I'll have to dig in a bit deeper! At first glance, it looks like it might be a bit of a run around getting one to work with MAF and CAS sensors, but pretty much every other ECU wants a MAP sensor anyway so it wouldn't be a bad time to switch.

I had heard of them but I thought they were a Miata specific ECU replacement not a general purpose one.
Big political news always make it to HN, at least at first. Then they disappear relatively quick. I wouldn't worry about it.

A selling point of HW3 is that it will use all of the cameras, so that's likely to eventually change.

We still haven't really agreed on who shot down MH17. It'll be quite a while before the truth gets out - if it ever does.
Guarantee? No. But you have oversimplified the cause of the 737-MAX crashes. You have also ignored the safety record of 7,000+ examples over 23 years.

It is unlikely to be a design issue, that should have come out a long time ago. Having said that it is simply too early for anyone to know what happened here.

Yes, it seems most of the posters are mostly familiar with the JS build … situation, where the last addendum of the post regarding multiple languages would apply anyway (as you're often building JS, HTML and CSS in one fell swoop).

Modfiying web apps from the browser seems to be a rare case, interestingly. I think there were a forays[1] made in that direction, but the need for external tools to shoe-horn a half-shod module system onto JS was the final straw for that. Never mind the convenience of some nigh-essential language features (SCSS, ES6).

Wow, that's a quick investigation by the Ukrainian embassy /s
I was halfway through the third or fourth paragraph and thoroughly confused which Russel is the author talking about. I don’t understand why the author mentions the first Russel if the article isn’t (mainly) about a comparison between the two.

It confused me so I’ll ask the obvious question: this article is about the second Russel who wrote Why I am not a Christian, right?
But it was built 3 years ago. Does proper engineering prevent future failures if the assembly process becomes flawed at a later time?

For example using cheaper materials, ignoring cracks, not properly training new employees etc.
Does anyone remember how much time it took to nail down the cause of MH17 crash?

If memory serves me right, during the MH17 shoot down over Ukraine it was established quite early that it was a work of a surface to air missile launched by rebels.

If Iran did really shoot down the plane by mistake, can they cover it up by not giving access to the debris?
It would take everyone a few days to determine the cause, especially the people spreading unverified informations such as 'it was shot down by a missile'
Not really on an engine failure, and we have two fire extinguishers per engine so if it doesn't work the first time you can pull the second one.

Of course if you have a whole wing on fire pulling the engine fire extinguisher isn't going to help much. Luckily that doesn't really happen.
There has been a lot of debate about the state of AI in recent weeks on Twitter (see #AIDebate). A lot of it was about naming. It occurred to me that very opinionated people had no idea what people in the community are actually doing, and so the whole excercise seemed like a learning experience for them, which seems to be a good thing.

The goals of AI (which Google trends classifies as “field of study” - I think that captures it quite well) haven’t changed in decades - to reverse engineer the miracle of human cognition. A certain number of people (like the teams of Yoshua Bengio or Demis Hassabis) have the clear mission to work on just that. The progress in this area is much slower than the perception of the last 5-10 years would suggest. It was just that work from the 90s and 2000s were put to test and quickly outperformed other approaches - symbolic or what we now call “classic machine learning” (e.g. in speech recognition, image classification/detection, machine translation, Information retrieval). All these areas had important and valuable applications in industry and have sucked up a lot of money.

But this is only a tiny part of what human cognition entails. Areas around memory, reasoning, consciousness etc. are completely unsolved. Where are we on a scale of 0 to 1000 of solving the problem? Perhaps somewhere between 20 and 50, nobody knows. AI is a north star, and it is a weird development that people have started to call it “AI” again (it felt totally weird about 3-4 years ago when this happened).

So, I think the field is still rightly called “AI”. Call the current state of it “system 1”, “differential programming”, “deep learning” or whatever.

Is there a reason a flights transponder data would just suddenly cut off in the middle of the air in case of engine failure? Maybe really explosive engine failure?

I recall seeing the full history (right up until the plane hits the ground), in other cases of airplane crashes.
Do you keep a copy of old Netscape in a VM (solaris no less) just for moments like these?
Rats! I only use xkcd style plots.
Of course it's larger, its tens of thousands of fires deliberately lit each year. There are books, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a documentary somewhere.
Btw, @dang. It would be better if we change the title to say Boeing 737-800 just to emphasise this is a different plane than Max.
BuzzFeed News is not BuzzFeed. They've won several well-deserved journalistic awards.
They aren't exactly two distinct things, in the sense that if you can drive hate clicks with fake news you just put yourself in business.
The pilots of the plane would be in constant contact with the nearest airport during and right after take-off, especially when there are technical problems.

It's not hard to imagine the conversation would involve like:-

PILOT: One of the engines has failed catastrophically, we need to make an emergency landing, can you clear the runway back in Tehran or is there another airport we can go to?

Have you tried reading the papers from the period? for the rest, enroll in a physics course and try to not fall into the conceptual traps that even many that have studied and taught physics have fallen into.

Nothing is hidden, but it does take time and persistence.

Photons are not "immortal" they can decay if they have enough energy. Rule of right hand is a convention, could be left hand if you define the sign of charge differently. We don't see star formation older than BB but early universe physics is not easy to understand and there are lots of model uncertainties. Physical vacuum is what remains when no excitations are present. Gravitational waves are ripples in space itself. I don't understand what you mean by photons being formed.

You can not expect the concepts and intuitions that you formed by interacting with the macroscopic world to serve you well when thinking about the microscopic and fundamental. People used to think that you need some type of material aether that carries the waves of light. But that turned out not to be concepts that map well to reality. It took decades to learn to unthink these concepts, there is no shortcut to doing so yourself.
"what kind of debugger does your build tool provide?"

That's what drives me mad about all these configuration heavy (declarative?) systems. Just give me a debugger and an imperative language and I'll step through it myself when there's a problem. It's what is happening anyway so it's a really leaky abstraction.
What makes you pretty sure of that?
Take

(elem "countries" (elem 0))

Inside out elem 0 has to return a function since it doesn't have enough to do anything. I'm not sure why 0 couldn't be a key necessitating a different function to differentiate but whatever.

Elem countries has to return json and one can imagine using the json in the first position like a map in clojure and taking a fn in following position. This would mean that on net it would be exactly the same as.

(elem 0 (elem countries))
Agree. Rockets are quicker and with more compact engines, not flaming fireballs. The parts falling from the fireball could be the result of an engine fire caused by structural failure of the engine or collision with something (such as a bird strike, although I think that is less likely as it's nighttime).
Shell may be super useful to learn but that doesn't mean it's full of horrible footguns that greatly hamper your ability to determine if your code is doing the right thing or not once you get to a significant body of code: just take a look at https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls and compare with other languages that don't have some of the more egregious easy-to-make mistakes (e.g. anything to do with word splitting).
