Well the question is, what is the motive behind releasing this statement? It doesn't really benefit Ukraine to shit on Boeing so rashly and publicly because they're still beholden to US support. The calculation behind the messaging is very curious. Did Iran request Ukraine to release this statement? Why would Ukraine oblige them. Did the US ask Ukraine because maybe Iranians will attribute the crash to US hostility like 655 and they're trading Boeing reputation for deescalation.

Presumably US/Russia/ everyone in the region is watching Iranians skies very carefully post retaliation, if there's signs of the plane was shot down, it would be easy to confirm. If there's no signs, then it can be quickly dismissed as technical error to deescalate an already confusing situation.
On the contrary, I think that perfectly natural question is a fine example of what I'm not-very-successfully trying to get people to realize.
> It looks like it was shot down with an air defense missile. You can see the plane on fire as it falls to the earth.

Come on. Don't do this.

Planes are complex machines. They're pressurized and propelled by a continuous explosion. There are lots of ways for things to go wrong.

A good rule of thumb in aviation is to ignore the first 24 hours of news. There are no facts. Everyone is an armchair crash investigator. And mindshare is competed for with salaciousness.

It could be an attack. It could be an air-defense error. Or it could be a mechanical error. One of countless possible mechanical errors. Either way, it's a tragedy to which no service is done by baseless speculation.
They forgot the Freshman CS student way: Panic, Lock the computer in the computer room, run.
Any writer of news someone doesn't like can be an "activist" rather than a journalist, it's a pointless distinction
It wouldn't take very long for the relevant parties to know whether they accidentally shot a missile at a 737. For a mechanical issue, there would be much more uncertainty (although it's possible the pilot reported the issue to ATC).
Are you saying this is what happens with the Ubuntu package or with the Mozilla binary? If the former, it could be https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1601707
How much can you trust government agencies in times like these? With so many competing intelligence agencies, quite possibly sitting on the brink of WWIII, I don't think it's outlandish for an official source to lie, intentionally or not.
This problem does not cause the airplane to catch fire...
BuzzFeed is quite different from BuzzFeedNews which produces higher quality content. Very unfortunate naming and we go through that exchange on hn every time they get linked.
I joined Google last year, hired directly as a manager. Germane to this thread, I'm in my early 40s.

At Google, the bar is that you are expected to be able to contribute as an equivalently senior IC, but will be expected to use those skills to inform how you do manager stuff.

So you will definitely get technical questions, the type of which will vary slightly depending on which level of management you're interviewing for. But they will be legit technical questions, like solving a graph theory problem or designing a distributed system.

In addition, you'll also get explicit sessions probing you on your leadership style and management fundamentals. Standard behavioral stuff.

Non CS background doesn't seem to matter as much as actual leadership experience afaict. Formal leadership roles seem to be weighted more strongly when considering your level, but you do seem to get some credit for informal roles too. I'm not super sure on this point.

I think it'd be hard to go directly as an external IC to a manager role. That's not a risk I'd personally want to take if I were the hiring manager in that situation.

If it helps you calibrate, I had about 6 years experience as a line manager at other companies, and I was considered for (and hired as) a line manager. I was never being considered as a 2nd level manager of managers.

LVMH.I believe it was Bernard Arnault who said that only luxury products can command luxury margins.
I see it's too immature to conduct an engine failure in this situation without investigation report.
Then why even talk about anything at that point if you were not there yourself.
> I think that a lot of it it also due to the fact that the existing modern ECUs in most cars can just be reprogrammed in place.

I think you're right. In fact the only reason I'm digging into this is because I have one of very few 90s Nissan ECUs that hasn't been piggy backed (R33 S2 RB25DET). Because all others have a piggy back board available and aftermarket standalones are so common here, no one does flashing for that ECU either. You can use an R32 RB25DET ECU and piggy back that, but they are scarce here now and too expensive.

> The possibility of damage is the same whether or not the ECU is DIY or not. It's all in the tune whether you will blow up your engine or not.

I more meant from failure of the board or the code. You can be relatively confident with a modern commercial board, but I am worried about board failure on the street with DIY boards. If this were a track only car I wouldn't be as bothered, but it will be a street/track day car.
> The problem is that the unprovable statements will include statements that are true, but that the system can't prove.

"5 contains itself" might also be true in some extended system where numbers are considered to also be sets. But in system where numbers are numbers and sets are something different this statement is unprovable because it's nonsensical.

What does even "true" mean if you are allowed to tangle things like "true" and "provable" in self referential paradox and draw conclusions from it?

I think Godel result comes from lax definition of "true". Like Russel's paradox comes from lax definition of how can you define a set.
The pilot failed to successfully evade an incoming missile?
What? Sometimes live or pseudo-live is helpful when programming or debugging, and therefore the whole concept of building software from scratch is invalid?
More generally, with treated and agreements almost never ratified by senate, it would actually be foolish to trust any act accomplished by executive power to successfully be carried from an administration to the next.
It would kind of make sense as after launching missiles on US bases they would have put their air defense systems on high alert causing someone to panic and assuming a retaliatory attack.

Similar thing happened in Feb 2019 when Indian Air Force shot down their own helicopter during a high alert scenario after attacking targets in Pakistan day before.

I don't know if this is what you are actually asking but it reads like that.

> The calculation behind the messaging is very curious

Social media is already promoting baseless conspiracy theories.

Traditionally, one gathered facts and then communicated. But the world isn't waiting. And those rumors can have real consequences. So coming out with incomplete, preliminary information is better than giving the idiots a monopoly on messaging.
I seem to be going against the grain here, but I actually find them generally useful. I have a 1-2-1 with my Line Manager every 4 weeks and I find it great to discuss what I have been doing.

My manager asks about what ive been working on, if the pace is good for me and if there is anything holding me back.

I can be frank on how I feel about things (Ive mentioned that I felt I wasnt doing any productive work, because I wasnt comfortable with the experience I had and didnt want to slow down the team) and get honest feedback with them actually trying to help. Its also a great time for me to improve our relationship and ask about the future (Whats happening with this team? How is this project going? When will I be able to do x?).

The main issue here seems to be managers who don't care, not the process itself.

True, but when you take everything else in the consideration you can guesstimate the cause.

Right now, looking at the wreckage field it looks like it completely fall apart mid air. Lot of wreckage seems to have shrapnel damage of roughly the same size.

Extremely unlikely. With the amount of surveillance I imagine the world is directing towards Iran (think sattelites and radars), I find it hard to believe the current US administration wouldn't jump to take that chance to declare war against Iran.

No. And there can't be. There were 0 generations that were able to track their parameters on a constant basis. If over time it is proven that it is useless we can stop doing it, but for now let's at least try to collect such data and make use of it...

There is still a problem with this PR, since everyone is talking about that, but technology is nowhere near to deliver on those promises. Hope the hype won't kill off real work in developing good sensors.

I think there is an issue of mismatched expectations. Logicomix is just a divulgative effort that briefly surveys Russell’s life. As somebody with little knowledge of post-Enlightenment philosophy, I honestly did not come away from it thinking philosophers were mad, but simply that his gallant effort in logicism reached the end of the line once Gödel entered the scene - which is what happened, by all accounts. He looked extremely reasonable, particularly considering how his whole prestige and career depended on the methods Gödel wiped away.

If i remember correctly (been a while since I read it), Logicomix really failed to explain how Russell went on to become relevant in public discourse at large, basically assuming that philosophers are interesting by default... I bought it mostly to find that out (he was very influential on my parents’ generation, as one of the classic intellectuals mentioned in ‘68 movements) and was somehow disappointed to just get the story of a logician instead. Still, it was a coherent story with great reverence for its subject, IMHO. Had it been trying even harder to delve into logic, as you expected, I would have probably thrown it out of the window.
BattlEye apparently comes with a kernel component called BEDaisy which preemptively tries to block attempts to patch Windows API functions. That has some people calling it a root kit or spyware.
Given the official reports of a (presumably catastrophic) engine failure, that wouldn't be terribly surprising.
Since this thread is mostly speculation, might as well go all in:

Thanks for this. Reporting seems to have been pretty bad so far.

I noticed that the Associated Press (and news stories derived from AP) are reporting on the age of Iran's commercial fleet, as though that has anything to do with a plane belonging to a Ukrainian airline.

> Iran’s commercial passenger aircraft fleet has aged, with air accidents occurring regularly for domestic carriers in recent years, resulting in hundreds of casualties.

Yeah. It’s a pretty sweet tool. What’s also pretty awesome about it is that its interpreters (one C++ and one Go implementation) can also easily be embedded into custom applications.

For an Open Source project of mine (https://github.com/buildbarn, a remote build cluster implementation for the Bazel build system), we are using go-jsonnet as the config file parser library. This means that people can use JSON, but if they need something that’s more flexible, they can add Jsonnet statements immediately. It’s also possible to have that as a preprocessing stage (init scripts), but in a containerized world it’s easier to have it embedded.

One of the nice things about doing that is that I also don’t need to write code to load TLS certificate data from disk. People can either embed their secrets directly into the config file, or they can use Jsonnet’s ‘importstr’ keyword to load separate PEM files from disk.

Somewhat related to that: Jsonnet also allows people to write libraries for constructing more complex JSON files. For example, the Grafana folks have released a library (https://github.com/grafana/grafonnet-lib) that allows you to easily build Grafana dashboards from code.
Those two things aren't mutually exclusive.
>The responsible thing to do is wait. But the world isn't waiting. So coming out with incomplete, preliminary information is better than letting idiots spin yarn.

Well the idiot in this situation is the Ukrainian embassy. Official diplomatic declaration is very different from idiots on social media spinning yarn. I'm not saying people aren't jumping to conclusions, just recognizing that hasty official statements to plane crashes is atypical, though current events are atypical.
It really ends up being called like this: ((elem "countries" (elem 0)) JSON)

Yours is more akin to (elem 0 (elem "countries" json))

and you can see that the hierarchy of the query is now inverted in respect to the json. This is what I like about the continuation based approach, a big query will be readable because it fits the data very well.
I remember when I bought my first Macbook Pro in 2014, the specs compared to Dell/Lenovo was in the same price range. There was no Apple Premium.

So I decided to give Apple a chance, and I am still using that laptop today, it has really been great value for my money.
More important than finding out the cause is ensuring we don’t find out the wrong cause.

We’ll likely never know MH370s cause. That’s annoying, and heartbreaking Dott those affected. In itself it doesn’t lead to tens of thousands of more deaths.

The US has plenty of detection capability for missiles, such as how they tracked the ballistic missiles earlier. As in the Ukraine case, I'm sure they'll be more than willing to share the missile trajectory sooner rather than later if there is one (they shared the Ukraine one 5 days after the crash). I'm not sure how trustworthy it'll be, but that's something I'm waiting for as the situation develops.
Sure pilots experience failures in the sim. The point is they can't experience every possible failure scenario or they'd never get out of the sim.

Southwest has had three fatalities in 48 years of operation, and in only one of those was pilot error a contributing factor, so saying their pilot training prioritizes profits over safety is unfounded snark.

There are different kinds of cheaters.

Some like the rush of doing something "naughty".

Some want quick results.

Some want prestige.

Some want to explore and exploit the system itself rather than the game.

Some want to gold farm.

Some want to be like gods.

Some want to automate the tedious parts.

Some want to take down big mobs that can't be taken down any other way.

I once wrote about 400k of Blech code for Macroquest to automate the most tedious parts of EQ grinding, and to automate support party members (running on separate accounts) when I couldn't find a group (before the mercenary system), powerlevel new accounts, or needed more precision to one-group multibox raid targets (for example, Overlord Mata Muram). In many ways it brought the game to a whole new level of challenges due to the difficulty of my targets, and the strategies I needed to employ.

It was actually quite cool, consisting of modules for healing, buffing, offtanking, main tanking, positioning, dd, dots, aggro management, clickies, AA abilities, timers... the works. I had a configuration language that assembled the necessary modules to produce the behavior I needed for a particular task.

All of the dev work involved, at my professional rate, would have come out to 5 or 6 figures, so there's that :P

After you specify the content for subscription, it scrapes and checks for updates automatically , every 2 hours.
I've given this a go, I'd love to use it over emby, but until it has an LG WebOS app, so my family can use it easily, I can't make the switch.

They'd benefit hugely, I feel, from focusing effort on the native apps. Some of this is more challenging; WebOS for example never had an OSS app, so there's nothing for Jellyfin to fork

The investigation is on Iranian soil. There is no access to the FAA or similar agencies. Iran would have every reason to want to cover up an erroneous missile launch.

In Ukraine, there was a cooperative effort to investigate the crash, and it was found to be a Russian missile.

I read the GP comment with this caveats in mind, and I still think it's accurate. The figure used assumes that 100% of animals in areas affected by fires were killed. Even a quote like:

> It's reasonable to think that for animals caught up in the fires, at least for ground dwelling animals, more were severely impacted than were not.

taken literally, mean that the estimate is off by a factor of 2. I understand that you didn't mean this literally, but it's illustrative of the structure of the claims and skepticism here.

On top of that, even the core methodology of the study doesn't make any sense. Per the university's methodology notes[1], they copied the method used by a previous study on land clearing, ie, permanent destruction of habitat. It's a somewhat reasonable approach in that context: cleared and developed land is lost to wildlife in the equilibrium state, and it only relies on some fairly mild assumptions about a constant carrying capacity per species in order to use this methodology to calculate losses. There's no indication that destruction of the habitat leads to immediate death of the animals, and no attempt to account for the proportion of animals that may have successfully fled.

In the case of these wildfires, the burned land isn't being permanently and explicitly kept out of the ecosystem. It's easy to imagine species density increasing in the remaining areas in the short term, and I don't think anyone expects the habitats not to grow back onto the destroyed land.
Unless the claim is that the burned habitats are lost forever, the same logic obviously isn't applicable. The spread of this "fake news" is down to an irresponsible claim from the university and an incompetent/irresponsible game of Telephone from journalists.

That being said, this isn't anything new for journalism. I'm in the habit of checking the sources of dramatic claims, as reported even by "prestigious" outlets like the New York Times, and the hit rate is laughably low if you follow the trail of sources and have even a modicum of scientific literacy.

Again, this is true of _every_ topic they report on, not just specific, politically-loaded areas, which suggests it's not just a question of dishonesty and bias: Journalism's incentives are fucked right now, epistemology in the modern era is _really_ hard, and the hiring bar for journalism doesn't select all that stringently for intelligence. I don't know what the solution to this is...

If this is the gold standard, the our standards are very low. It should be just as easy for me to say "no" as it is to say "yes", and Metomic has the same dark pattern as everybody else that saying "no" requires a lot of clicking and careful reading, while click "yes" is easy. Seriously, in Metomic it's even multiple panels! And every single one has multiple paragraphs I have to read! Whereas "yes" is a single click and the panel is out of my face. It's crap and it's intellectually insulting.

There's no law anywhere that says you need to ask permission for storing cookies. You can perfectly well make a cookie-based login without a cookie banner. This bullshit about un-uncheckable "essential cookies" toggles has to go, you don't need permission for those, they don't need to be in the dialog. The GDPR even specifies this, albeit too vaguely: it should be as easy to accept tracking as it is to reject it, and in practice even a startup 100% focused on solving this problem gives that rule the middle finger.

Seriously, fuck this shit. The banner should say "We'd like to track your behavior so we can improve our service / sell better ads / whatever¹. [Ok] [Rather not]". It's not that hard. Only give Metomic your money if you think your visitors are idiots.
