> I would say that the system has enabled the people to change the government in the way the people want,

So China is now democratic? You're either delusional, a troll, or a member of the privileged class. It's hard to say the CCP is "working for the people" when they lie to citizens about basic things like daily air pollution stats and lock people up for benign comments on WeChat. There is a reason that Hong Kong and Taiwan are trying so hard to resist being swallowed up by the PRC.
Insert old-school mechanics grumbling about how now there's a computer involved in tuning carburetors.

Seriously though, neat project. Personally I'm a "carbs are for weed whackers" guy and would have just seen having to sync four of them as a good reason to swap to EFI, but for those who insist on using vacuum-powered voodoo to fuel their engines this is pretty cool and seems like it'd drastically simplify a very tedious process.
I like this comment:

Sony WF-1000MX3s, Jabra Elite 65ts (which I own and don't like using at all, should've returned), Samsung Galaxy Buds (my commute dailies and much more akin to airpods in use, not amazing but I love them). There are now a lot of BT5 mobile earbuds w/ good ANC in the $100-300 range. Not sure what the top of the line in the last 3 months has become as I'm now swimming in headphones. My work dailies are the Sony WH1000XM3s (which actually replaced my XB950B1s, XBs don't have ANC like 1000s do).

To someone who uses Sony, AudioTechnica (loved my ATH-M50s for.. 5+ years) , Jabra. etc you tend to learn the numbering not that it's great. It's like buying a 3 series or 5 series BMW. There's usually some way to determine which class they're in from that brand, like the Sonys were 1000MX2s before they became 1000MX3s, next will be the MX4, the preceding WF or WH is earbuds vs over-ear (no idea what WF or WH actually means, though).

You mean _unions_ can be heard; the ordinary people who make up the unions may not agree with the stance of the union.
So their claims of safety were not well informed?

I think the problem is that they trust a system that got corrupted or never was that robust in the first place.

Seeing how this thing unfolded, I don't really believe that people making claims are in good authority to make those claims.
Well, it is, but it is not just a subset of information. The distinction between knowledge and information is very tricky to get a handle on. Philosophers argue about it all the time. For example, here is some information:

"I am wearing a white hat."

Is that information also knowledge? Well, it depends. It depends, for example, on whether or not I am in point of fact wearing a white hat, because if I'm not then you cannot possibly know that I am wearing a white hat despite the fact that I have just given you that information. That information may or may not correspond to reality, and one of the things that distinguishes knowledge from information is that knowledge has to correspond to reality in order to qualify as knowledge, and information need not correspond to reality ("false knowledge" is an oxymoron but "false information" is not.)

But there's more to the distinction between knowledge and information than mere correspondence to reality. If I am in point of fact not wearing a white hat, the information above does not magically transform itself into knowledge if I suddenly put on a white hat.
A few weeks ago my company got us the Pros as a Christmas gift. It's my first experience with Bluetooth.

These hurt my right ear slightly. The audio sometimes stutters. Sometimes the battery drains in one very quickly but not the other, or there's some other bug causing the audio to go out in one ear. Putting them in and taking them out of the case is awkward. Keeping them charged is a responsibility.

The $8 wired earbuds I had before never had any of these problems. And I was never worried about losing them. I saw them being wired as a pro, not a con. I'm going back to those. I can't believe anyone pays $250 for these. I couldn't believe paying $50.
I thought the MCAS would typically be activated while the pilot would already be pulling pack on the yoke. So I'm a little confused under what circumstances MCAS would ever activate. Does it activate while yoke is pulled back but the pilot can additionally yank harder to deactivate?

> That means almost all iPhone users are still either using wired earphones or none at all.

I'm sorry, what? Non-Apple branded Bluetooth earphones (including AirPod knockoffs) are ubiquitous, and far outnumber wired earphones (in part thanks to Apple and many Android OEMs dropping headset jacks).
You find the iPhone easy to use because the iPhone is easy to use and more or less consistent in every iPhone device you’ve used. A five year old can use an iPhone.

That’s competitive differentiation, which is very much part of marketing. An iPhone isn’t easy to use in the same way that git is easier to use than svn for someone who has been using git for a decade.

Maybe there should be? If we had a union to fight for it there could be. I think it'd be cool if my name was on the credits list of every software I've ever written. Hell, there should be.

This is something open source gets right that companies don't -- in open source, there is a credits list. Both in the contributors listing and in the actual publicly accessible history of commits itself (which in turn auto-generates contributor lists e.g. on GitHub).
Look like the data comes from a NASA satalite that tracks measurements for space weather and related scientific missions.

> Failing to have grown skills and project scope to L5 level after extensive time in the industry

The projects I've worked on in my career haven't been considered in the interview process. They just expected better results on their standardized interviews (algo + system design) compared to a more junior candidate. I don't think the question they ask correlate at all with candidate experience, even for the system design part.

But overall, I think it's an imperfect but fair process.

> Apple may launch an operating system for AirPods in 2020, and apps like TTYL and Yac are already creating buzz as audio-first applications.

Apple being Apple, this integration will likely only work with airpods. But I'm with you. I'd rather have great sounding music. I have an android phone and $60 earbuds, both of which support the LDAC 990kbps standard. This sounds much better than when I pair the same earbuds with my Macbook using AAC.
It was a complete and utter waste of time, as has been every other performance review I have ever been a part of.

Performance reviews from bosses are almost always useless and do more harm than good. The only possible exception I've seen might be in research settings where supervisors sometimes work closely with you and may actually be qualified to evaluate your work. But in that case, usually they are already giving you feedback during the process and a formal performance review is just a checkbox item to satisfy their own supervisor or funding organization.

Moreover it is generally impossible to have a fair and honest discussion with someone who can fire you or influence your pay.

Actual feedback on your work from skilled technical people on your team and actual users is generally far more useful than a performance review and can be gathered at any time.
ground current behaviors are important to study and understand! there can be practical impacts on systems and safety.
License plates don't stop drunk drivers, speeding, or other reckless behavior. It doesn't make you wear a seatbelt, either.

License plates aren't for safety. They're so we can more easily charge road tolls, parking fines, and increasingly: keep tabs on people's whereabouts.

Effectively, drone registration is much the same -- except it would be a better analogy to say the DMV wants everyone to get license plates on bicycles and scooters. (Small vehicle, readily built from parts off the internet, people who enjoy them are generally seen as a nuisance, and this legislation simply gives them an additional burden as a middle finger.)
Platformio is also a good choice.
Why can't it just run dynamic feature detection to see if it needs to load e.g. a SISD shim version of the function which is exactly the same except the intrinsic is replaced with a generic implementation?

Or at least the other way around: if a function is declared with dynamic feature detection and a default path exists why can't it be declared safe by the compiler?
It's somewhat irrelevant anyways. If you have a risk that you can't avoid that doesn't mean there is no point in mitigating other risks.
Russell's hope was to establish that one could find proof of all true mathematical statements, so that one needed a fixed-for-all-time set of axioms and nothing more. Incompleteness obviously destroys that hope.
> What is notable is that the current environment appears to be the logical endpoint of all of these changes: from batch-processing to continuous computing, from a terminal in a different room to a phone in your pocket, from a tape drive to data centers all over the globe. In this view the personal computer/on-premises server era was simply a stepping stone between two ends of a clearly defined range.

Sure, that's what happened.

But what jumps out for me is that, at both ends of that range, users are relying on remote stuff for processing and data storage. Whether it's mainframe terminals or smartphones, you're still using basically a dumb terminal.

In the middle, there were personal computers. As in under our control. That's often not the case now. People's accounts get nuked, and they lose years of work. And there's typically no recourse.

As I see it, the next step is P2P.

I'm not sure what you mean by "contrast" - China is absolutely an authoritarian country, but that does not negate the criticisms[0] of the liberal conceptions of freedom and human rights in the West - we now have to points to criticize: the Western ideology, and the Chinese one. Freedom is absolutely an important thing to have in society, but that doesn't mean that the Western (or Chinese) conceptions of it are the right ones.

To say that the philosophical underpinnings of liberal freedom and democracy are immune from criticism (feminist, Marxist, or otherwise) is tantamount to dogmatism. China's concepts may be worse than the Western concepts, but the Western ones certainly aren't beyond reproach.

Most of the offenses are for having a barbeque/campfire during a "total fire ban" day or discarding a lit cigarette - these receive formal cautions or fines

> Discarding a cigarette from a vehicle can attract a fine for littering of $250, the NSW Environmental Protection Authority states. If it’s lit and tossed away, the fine is $660, which doubles on a day of total fire ban to $1320.

> Lighting a fire on a day of total fire ban attracts an on the spot fine of $2200. If the matter goes to court, you could face a fine of up to $5500 or 12 months behind bars.

It's the time and pilot logistics more than the price. Pilots can't do this sort of stuff at their house, they need to fly somewhere and spend four hours or more in a simulator. Not only is it a pain for everybody involved, it means that you don't have that particular pilot for that entire day. And then furthermore you can only use that particular pilot to fly the MAX moving forward. The whole point of maintaining a type rating is that all of your pilots can fly all of those planes, regardless of the particular version of the model.

Just wait until the European agency certify it. They got the right to certify it themselves (before that they were grandfathered in the "accept FAA certification as is for Boeing plane" deal), and they're taking it seriously. Also even the FAA seems to finally have realized how close they were to losing their world status, so they act all serious about it.

You are basically describing modern programming.

Script Language (or scripting) is a programming language.

And about the "real" programming language you can also trap yourself googling and installing yet another library (did you read the code?) and/or reimplementing existing tools from the unix programming environment.

> During that same era, Apple's slogan for the iPod was, notoriously: "Rip. Mix. Burn."

So the argument that Apple didn’t outcompete Sony on marketing rests on a marketing slogan from 20 years ago?

That slogan makes pretty clear to me what Apple’s priorities were and had been all along - put the customer’s needs at the forefront of their positioning.

The height (another one I suppose) of blind consumerism. Buying wireless versions of the things that come in the box just because. And then also not even attempting to look further than Apple highlights it's not a matter of quality audio experience either.
couldn't make it 3 sensor that would change the certification (obviously they can now) but I wonder what this means for Southwest Air.

The whole reason the MAX exists is because of Southwest. If southwest didn't throw their weight around and loudly announce they were considering Airbus, the MAX would likely exist in a non-737 configuration right now.

Yes, it typically would. There's something called an aft column cutout switch which deactivates nose down trim if you're pulling back on the yoke with a certain amount of force. They're proposing to use this switch to deactivate MCAS. I'm unsure how much force it takes to activate this switch, but it seems to me that this makes MCAS less useful for its intended purpose, and that's why I said this decision was questionable.
Don't worry, keep at it and you will be president of Stanford.

HomeKit was released in 2014 and has made surprisingly little progress. Apple execs surely are not automating their homes with it. Is it time to accept it will be another ignored area within Apple (like the Contacts app)?
You should make software because you're not Apple, and don't want to compete with Apple.
I don't think the person you replied to is saying they wanted wires, just that they were entrenched in using what they had until they were forced to switch. It sounds like they like the new world better, just it took a push to get them to switch.

I am pretty sure that you can avoid risks during driving but cannot avoid risks when flying commercially.

"Flying is safer than driving" claim probably comes from some metric that is relevant to insurance companies when calculating premiums but irrelevant to private travellers because they can choose not do drive drunk or take risks.
