Hopefully well? However, the what-if game is generally bad to play, especially when we can't even ball-park frequency. There are always many what-ifs that can be made.

However, even when we know frequencies, we often still ignore them. What if an accident happens on the way to the airport, which is far more likely, and far more likely to be fatal, than flying on even a 737-MAX 8?

What I think is more probable than any issue with the MAXs translating to the NGs is: what-if other (recent) FAA certified planes, by any manufacturer, have undisclosed problems or systems? There's obviously a systematic flaw in how the FAA conducts certifications, so this worries me more than finding a fatal and fundamental flaw on aircraft that have been in near constant use for 20-25 years old at this point, as are many/most of the the NGs have.

7 culture transformations. Ugh.
The summary section says: "Research has shown that students who use digital technology excessively are less motivated to engage with their studies, and are more anxious about tests. This effect was made worse by the increased feelings of loneliness that use of digital technology produced."

That's a very different conclusion from "Internet use reduces study skills in university students"
"One of the odder pitches, in late 2017, was to Paul Nehlen — an anti-Semite and self-described “pro-white” Republican running for Congress in Wisconsin — to use “unconventional databases” for “extreme opposition research,” according to a document provided to Mr. Nehlen and later posted online."

Giving hate groups a greater ability to stalk and harass their victims is also pretty scary.
Pay more in local property taxes and your local government just might build that infrastructure.

Or were you wanting city dwellers to fund it for you?
All of Boeing's self-certification rights should be scrapped. Clearly Boeing's internal safety culture isn't in a state where it can be trusted. Mistakes happen & planes fall out of the sky, but this seems like a rather pervasive culture issue.
I guess that may be part of the issue. For better or worse, I check president's twitter feed from time to time and one of his recent shares includes a talking point about Apple not helping with the phone.

One would think he would want to not let goverment have this power, but, well, perception of things depend on where you sit. Right now he sits in the WH.
Fewer than half of US clinical trials complied with law on reporting results
Bullshit. Infrastructure and transportation have generally always been paid by the owners. There may be cases where residents have successfully lobbied their community to build something for them, but that's not how things work where I live.

But even if there was such a support for honeowners, a property tax would be nothing else but theft. Charge the real cost of you want but then leave the people in peace.
Related Question - Do students still use study groups, where they physically get together in the same place, split up material and then share, quiz and mentor?

Even in the 90's and 00's I saw a decline in technical areas of study, but there was a time when this was the standard (and arguably only) way to get through your program (think Law or Business school in the 70's - 80's). There was just too much material to distill down for a single person. I wonder if this form of knowledge acquisition is largely dead...
I am very excited about OneDev; thank you for making it.

I browsed the documentation on Builds an found this:

> echo "##onedev[SetBuildVersion '@params:buildVersion@']"

this resembles Azure's way of setting build variables. I admit I think it is crappy for Microsoft as a producer of operating systems to handle it this way, instead of e.g. creating a special device.

What were your considerations for using the same style in OneDev?
Are you? All web browsers I know of are written in C++ and always have been. In modern C++ you don't use char* to mean "pointer to byte array of unknown size", you use std::vector. Moreover Chrome actually uses garbage collected C++ (they call it Oilpan).
> There seems to be a common thread that languages that are easy to pick up (not necessary "learn") are also harder to make use of to build something once your skill level has gone up a bit.

There's also a line of thinking that some languages (like Python) are both a great beginner language and simultaneously a bedrock language that should be a first choice for many advanced/complex problem spaces as well.

Brother have a lot of different SKUs, and I seem to recall there were ones with feeders.

It is mono, yes. If you want a colour laser, it's going to cost a lot more, and be larger. There weren't too many practical (for me) options when I looked last year.

Personally, I'm really happy with it, as 99% of the time I don't need colour. When I do want to print photos, I use a print shop, which are cheap, can provide a variety of sizes, and produce much higher quality photos than you will get with consumer grade printers.
About 37% of homeowners own their homes free and clear. The other 63% have mortgages that require regular monthly payments. The mortgage payments are in addition to regular payments of property taxes.

The result is that the burden of debt and property taxes motivates young adults to work hard and progress economically. This, along with the continual stream of purchases for the home, is the mainspring of the American economy.
How well defined is 'peacetime'?
I don't think anyone's brain is wired for pair programming. Maybe it's tolerable for people who are in early years of their programming career and are also writing in very inexpressive languages to spend too much time dealing with the code, still learning languages and approaches to writing, structuring code, rather than deeply thinking, exploring. Maybe some people just see this as an opportunity to spend more time on learning about writing code, maybe socializing, maybe even an opportunity to avoid doing hard work. But it's just not compatible with programming in general and for many it's more like plain and simple abuse, an attempt to pressure them to work harder.
Several comments seem to be somewhat critical of the visualisations and the lack of quote data sources.

I’m an economist and I have to say this is a beautiful exercise in visualisation. The Federal Reserve’s Economic Data (FRED) facility is my go-to source of quick numbers, alongside Bloomberg and Wolfram Alpha, but these visual depictions are simply beautiful.

Congratulations to whomever assembled this together.
Is good they have stuff like HomeKit or works with google, probably your best bet
Interestingly, Shenzhou isn't a Soyuz derivative -- it's significantly larger and has other divergent features (its orbital module can allegedly stay docked to another vehicle even after the crew capsule detatches for re-entry).

Source: http://www.astronautix.com/s/shenzhou.html

As I understand it, China is excluded from treaties governing cooperation in crewed spaceflight that go back to the Apollo-Soyuz link-up and include other third parties such as ESA and Japan: this locked them out of the ISS program. So they had to develop their own space station, too.
The job market is also depressed in Houston.... companies are moving out as people are tired of getting hit by hurricanes and having the land periodically returned to swampland.

Microsoft writes much of the kernel in (msvc) C++ but they're keenly investigating other languages. They're also researching designs for new ones.

Don't often hear folks from the US complain about being stereotyped.

Fair enough though, so long as it's applied consistently.
I’ve been a user of HA ever since I got a X10 firecracker plugged into my Slackware server under my dorm room bed. I’ve hated that they’ve turned HA into a service. A lot of these cloud HA companies are going with the cheap razors, expensive razor blades business model. And when things don’t work out leave you will with a pile of expensive broke equipment.
Ah the economist. This week it's "we should all live in oligarch supplied bugman skyscrapers in rentier dystopian future." Next week it's going to be about how we all need to eat cheeseburgers made out of insects because ... reasons.

Privileges, not rights. The rest of us with smaller pockets probably wouldn't be allowed to self certify our aircraft.

Just American manufacturers as a priority as this is clearly where the revolving door is.
I think a large segment of mass media fuels the problem. Tabloid-style news is written to shock and anger readers, because that, unfortunately, is what sells.

Politicians realised the "benefits" of this long ago, stoking the fires of rage, whipping people up into a frenzy, all to "keep them safe".

And so a large slice of the population really believes there are terrorists and criminals lurking around every corner - that things have never been more dangerous; and so they allow politicians to strip their freedoms and gain sweeping powers, because its all to "keep them safe".
I'll try to remember to answer when I'm home. I have this working in a private repo so I'll make it public. Just checked it on my iPhone where it doesn't seem to work in Safari though so it's possible the support is not stellar. For sure worked in Firefox on my desktop though.
For the sake of all of us I hope this plane never sees another flight.
Thinking that's an answer shows that you don't understand the question.
And the regulator. Is the cultural problem due to American culture? Profit as god.
I expect the game plan involves a rebranding and a host of minor upgrades. There will still be people pointing out "this is the same plane under a different name", but Boeing will counter by calling those people conspiracy theorists and pointing to the hundred differences. Some experts will side with Boeing on this. Even a sophisticated consumer won't be able to tell reliably which of the "experts" is right.
At the other end of the market, if you're putting photos on your wall, specialist photo printers who target the art market have quite a few different process options and some very interesting paper options, although you'll be looking at maybe GBP10+ or equivalent for an 8x10 print.

Many will give or sell you cheaply a sample pack - it was a revelation to me how good and broad the options were. This includes printing using old fashioned optical photo paper and a machine which is effectively a projecter to expose the image on it - I like this for black and white prints especially.
Nutrition for Muscle Gain After Your Exercise
There’s “pair tennis” (I know nothing about tennis, so apologies if that’s not what it’s called) which seems to flow alright, but tennis is a much more tightly constrained activity than programming. There are only a few actions each player appears to perform, with all other actions explicitly falling out of bounds set by rules of the game.

Chess is a much wider problem domain. I can’t imagine anyone playing pair chess.
I've never checked this before and I will not be putting my family on this model.
I bet there's going to be a re-branding of the aircraft to "manage" perception.

> I seems to me that they are already kept in check.

To a degree, yes. But are you really trying to pretend it's already perfect?

Though you seem to not believe in systemic injustice, so I doubt we will be able to find a shared consensus.

Custody is a more widely known example were us men fight an uphill battle. Obviously not everyone is unsatisfied with societies default roles, but I'd certainly consider this a harm, if I ever end up in such a situation.

Again, it could be worse. And I'm not trying to meddle in your life. If you and your SO want to live by traditional roles, that's great. But I don't want those thrust on (and thus being meddled with) my life. And I don't want to live in a society that doesn't even try to improve anymore.
> Smart home cloud services disappearing and bricking devices seems analogous to pre-Internet devices losing their circuit boards

There used to be an electronic repair shop in every neighborhood. These were small businesses that would be able to diagnose and repair faults in random electronic devices.

I wonder if at one point this problem of cloud services disappearing will become widespread enough that we'll start to see businesses that will take your bricked device, flash their own firmware to it and provide their own, generalized cloud service as a replacement.

Obviously reverse engineering each device and making a custom firmware would be a large initial investment, but maybe at a point where just about every trivial thing will depend on a network service it would be economically feasible.
That's because all their base are belong to us.
It doesn't work like that, because the "complementary food" is just that: complementary. The main source of nutrition according to the WHO should still be breastfeeding until two years old. The typical recommendation is to start each meal by breastfeeding first, and then give some food afterwards as a "second course".

The mother can still go to work by using a breast pump to extract milk and leave it refrigerated or frozen, but the logistics are quite hellish and breast pumps not even always work.

All in all, and I say this as a parent that ideologically supports equality and believes that both parents should share parenting efforts equally... nature just doesn't work that way. At all. :(
It's this. People are bad at statistics so it's easy to influence them with sensationalism.
Yeah right, all these "culturally interesting" places just happen to be the dense run-down areas of cities by pure chance...

Gentrification starts with some Avantgarde subculture(s) rallying in parts of a city that are cheap and dense enough to find enough followers. Later, followers with many expulse the old residents and push the prices. This does never happen in some rural area.
In case you missed the message, C is deprecated on Windows, any updates beyond C89 are done as side effect of ISO C++ compliance, and UWP, including universal drivers, is not going away no matter how a couple few might hate it.

BSD is becoming irrelevant in world at large, so that would just be a waste of time.

In any case, the bazaar has proven that it is only technically able to produce UNIX clones.
We as a society are still experimenting with new new-found toys like this in a lawless territory. Similar to how car-traffic was largely unregulated until we realized that traffic rules are really necessary.

It is not clear how this will play out though. Is it even possible to hope for a state that doesn't spy on its citizens? I'm not so sure anymore (thanks, all you f-g terrorists). Maybe our struggle has to be to regulate and enforce how the spying is done, and used, and live with the fact that it can be abused before it is corrected.

If anyone has a clear view of how such pessimism might be wrong I'll be happy to hear it.
I'm sure it will be blindingly obvious in hindsight but I don't know what "HA" stands for.

> No argument there. I never understood the obsession with AR-15's when their contribution to crime, over, say, the last 20 years, is basically a rounding error. The only answer is: politics taking advantage of emotion for political gains.

Some enterprise printers can be set up to keep a copy of every page they print (and scan), at least for a period of time. Bear that in mind if any of what you print is something you'd consider sensitive.
Usually you annotate the CI file with a container ID, not a Dockerfile, AFAIK.
Thanks for the detailed response, much appreciated, I'll be taking this on to upcoming meetings.

I've heard this quite a few times now and I think it's going to be critical. I'm keen to push for this as much as I can from our integration side.
I can imagine the EU having a field day with this. Given the scraping of data from other sites, this is clearly processing of PII without explicit consent - it's effectively being used as a biometric identifier too so the rules around sensitive data also apply...
Greater LA: 33,954 sq mi [0]

Greater Houston: 10,062 sq mi [1]

For the combined statistical area population / metro area, houston is actually even more dense than LA at 715 versus 553 people per square mile.

Not disagreeing with your main point though especially in regards to the bay area. There's just no land left to sprawl there and people don't want to build up so it'll forever remain unaffordable.

The original speaker is comparing two totally different layers of abstraction. That's not a technical detail when considering if the comparison is appropriate. It's simply misleading when higher level libraries are available and widely used in Linux.

On the other hand, whether the kernel interface is documented or not is a technical detail which simply doesn't matter in this context.
This illustrates hypocrisy of Silicon Valley.. don’t be evil indeed

Peter Thiel funding this, while he demolished Gawker Media, through litigation for his own invasion of privacy.

Two simultaneous out of phase sound waves do cancel each other out, there's not some 'silent sound pressure' left.
Switzerland has a home ownership rate that’s half the US and does fine. One of the main benefits of this is that the Swiss have more of their wealth in liquid assets and are highly mobile as a nation of renters, so they can easily move to where the jobs are.

In fact, Switzerland will tax your home on the potential income you could get from it, further encouraging renting. I’m not advocating this, but home ownership is not anywhere near a prerequisite for affluence.
We had our vaccine from "socialism", let americans have one too :)
That's a very idealistic but unrealistic perspective. Often times the source code can't or won't be released - it could put further customers at risk if a vulnerability is found and the update servers have gone away.

Some devices might not be possible to update due to hardware/software configuration (perhaps certain variables are hard coded?).

Whilst what you're saying is right it just doesn't work that way. I'd love for all the Android devices to get years of OS and security patches, but it simply doesn't happen.

Any IoT device is pretty much the same. It's not going to change any time soon.

Only invest in products you can be sure of (which is hard these days). Expect them to break, expect nobody to care, and be prepared to lose money or get a terrible ROI - it's why phones don't get updates, the OEM doesn't make money from providing updates which are a direct cost VS selling a new phone.

This is capitalism, produce crap, sell many units, offer no support, rinse and repeat.
I would like those city dwellers to fix their own problems before castigating my whole way of life. If you need more housing in the Bay area, cut your red tape and build it.

We're good out here in the rest of the country; in fact, if people could tolerate wotking remotely better, there are places where four-bedroom houses are selling for $80k.
Really? You've never seen two people on a team playing chess (discussing the best move, etc)?
No, it's because there are a lot of scientific results correlating it to all kinds of better health outcomes both for the child and the mother, also in developed countries.

Whether this benefit is worth the great burden two years of breastfeeding imposes on women is, of course, debatable, and each woman should choose and not be questioned on their decision (as people often do). But sweeping the issue under the rug by denying the proven benefits of extended breastfeeding is not helpful.
Disclosure: work in japan

What I have realized talking to the native people here is that working late is due to :

1. Impress peers and managers
2. Impress wife and her friends that you are important to the company
3. (For people with young kids) Not be a nuisance to the sleeping schedule of kids by coming early
4. Nothing much to do after going home because of lack of intimacy with spouse/partner
5. Actual work requirements
6. To earn overtime pay since basic pay is too low to cover all the expenses.

People have different reasons at different points in time.
Wasn't my impression at a smaller company I worked. I asked around about start up ideas people had and no one had any. They liked their jobs and work. Some said they are saving for retirement.

People who wanted to start their own company has been a minority. Sounds cool to have your own company, but I think people realize it is really grueling work and encompasses more than engineering. 10 years seems like a long stretch for me tbh, I can't think past 1-2 years for my own. 2 years down the road, sure I would like to has released a product that a team can be built around.

It is also conflated by age/economics. Is it more younger than older or older than younger who want to start companies? Is it that people who have a safety net feel more comfortable starting a company vs people who don't have a safety net?
If it is filming, of course. Do you think they are idiots and don't know that smart doorbells exist?
