You're missing OP's point. MCAS was flawed, but the plane would have been fine if they hadn't added MCAS. It would just have required pilot retraining (which Boeing desperately wanted to avoid). I have never seen a reliable source for the claim that the handling characteristics without MCAS would fail to meet airworthiness requirements.

I don't think this is an accurate way to analyze GDPR compliance. As the staffer points out this favicon service follows their own privacy policy, if by this policy they keep (or analyze, sell, distribute, etc.) no data on your use of the service then there is nothing of interest for the GDPR.

They might have to prove that their privacy policy is indeed GDPR conformant and that their service works as advertised, but in practice this is likely more about public trust that legality.

The current social media climate favors disagreement. This is directly in correlation with 'engagement' around which platforms are designed. Call it banking on outrage/hacktivism/quarrelling or simply engaging in peaceful debates. Companies and their algorithms have come to a funny conclusion that this is what increases said engagement (I'm not questioning their business model). User retention is crucial in this era, so is the intention of getting them to check back in ever so often.

Thus, dark patterns emerge. Point is, once you get used to 'that' online-aura, you unwillingly carry it with you wherever you go. Human brain does not have buttons to switch between modes. It's comically easy to get into this mindset and hard to shun it.

Yes, after consulting with staff, I understand we thought it was more privacy protecting because we know our services are already encrypted and throw away PII, and so to get the favicon you could either (a) make another request to our known anonymous service or (b) make a request (or possibly multiple) to a non-anonymous service. On the other hand it is another request to a distinct domain that traverses another path on the Internet, albeit an encrypted one.

This was not about search results, where their favicon webservice is in fact privacy increasing, but about the privacy browser and the favicons it displays, where it is privacy decreasing as it involved sending information about visited sites to a central authority while you are not on the DDG search engine. For example the TabRenderer will fetch the favicons from DDG instead of from the site you are actually visiting: https://github.com/duckduckgo/Android/blob/db728523240e37727...

Anyway, great decision by Gabriel.

I stop for a full week every year. I drink 3-4 rather strong cups every day (no coffee after 4pm), but only 1 cup daily on weekends. Only symptom for me when I don't have caffeine is being a little harder to focus, but that's not a problem for me when I don't need to code.
Generally speaking on combustion (piston) engines the max torque (and efficiency) is at revs between 2/3 and 3/4, sometime 4/5 of power peak revs, and in "static" applications (i.e. when you don't have an accelerator that you use continuously) such as aviation but also power generators, hydraulic loaders and excavators, etc. they normally are operated (continuously) at those levels range (around max torque).
I think it would be more clear if you come up with a statement like:

‘we never used this data, other than showing favicons’
> Cannot agree with that. If one does that or not, would depend on things like Service Level Agreements (SLA) — and one can have a pretty high SLA uptime %, without sharding, e.g. if there's an underlying pretty stable hosting provider that live migrates if there's a hardware failure.

Sorry, no. A single instance is never acceptable from any risk perspective, no matter what guarantees the hosting provider claims.
Ah I guess I should have read TFA l, because search results have a similar feature (that is opt-out). For a browser I agree it makes more sense to get the icon directly from the site being visited without any privacy risks.

We never used this data, other than showing favicons.

In fact, we didn't (and don't in general) collect any user-level data in the first place, per our strict privacy policy: https://duckduckgo.com/privacy

In this case, the way it works is you hit our favicon service and it returns the favicon, not using any PII in the process, and our web servers are configured not to log any PII. In other words, our system is technically designed and we are legally bound by our privacy policy to not use this data for anything other than showing favicons.

The logic of calling a flat sales tax regressive is (I think) that poor people spend most of their income, while rich people save more, and thus pay a lower percentage of their income.

Agree that this isn't a great way to look at things. And that (as you say) there are often different rates of sales tax on potatoes vs yachts.
GraalVM has an AoT (ahead-of-time) compiler that links against a “Substrate VM” [1] library. It [still starts as]* bytecode but an executable is generated that has fast startup times and low disk/memory footprint. These properties are important for subsecond Serverless Function spin-up and small container images starting with a minimalist Linux like Alpine.

It’s not clear to me if JBoss/Redhat/IBM add anything new to the mix or are simply embracing GraalVM and are trying to make the experience seamless for their customers.

> But... the reaction here is "they made a mistake, let's pile on like kids in a playground"

It's not one mistake, but several. Other then the initial mistake there is also the sloopy reaction and the fact they just closed the issue without bothering to fix it. And this was 1 year(!) ago. Nothing changed in the meanwhile. Now someone pushed it to public and after just some hours they reopen the issue and promise to fix it.

This is the reason why people react loud, because it works. And often it's even the only way that works.
Thank you very much for confirmation.

ConcR | Cambridge, UK | On-Site/Remote | Lead/Senior Software Developer | https://www.concr.co/

ConcR’s mission is to predict if a cancer therapy will work, and how. We are developing custom modelling frameworks in collaboration with astrophysicists from Durham, to enable us to model a broader range of the tumour biology than is currently possible, and through that enable accurate predictions of therapy efficacy to be made with less data. Our first product is focussed on helping accelerate the development of cancer drugs before they are used in clinical trials. Our later ambition is to develop a tool which greatly enhances a doctor's ability to choose treatment for their cancer patient.

We are looking for a software engineer to join the core team as lead developer. The role will involve taking the models developed by our bioinformaticians, and turning them into a product. The work will initially involve developing a research platform which runs intensive bioinformatic computations, whilst protecting confidential patient data. Later you and your team will go on to develop a system which receives clinical data from hospitals, runs our models on them, and sends the results back to the doctor. You will ensure the software is highly robust, and is built to medical standards, ensuring patient safety (with help from a regulatory advisor). We intend to hire further software developers, and you will be in charge of building the software team, and providing direction for it.

If hired we would be able to offer a competitive salary and stock options. We are flexible on working remotely or on-site.

If interested please contact apply@concr.co

From what I've read, the land tax is the most progressive tax.

All taxes except the land tax cause some sort of dead weight loss, which just leads to lower spending and economic activity, which leads to more unemployment.

> because the rich generally don't use a disproportionate amount of their wealth to buy real estate

Most valuable land is owned by the wealthy, and most poor people rent, so I don't see how a land tax would fall on the poor more than the wealthy.

> the property tax ends up being passed on to the tenants.

A land tax cannot be passed onto a tenant, since the supply of land is fixed, and so taxing land doesn't changing the supply-demand curve (leaving the equilibrium price the same).

> All of these other games only give people with accountants more holes to hide in

Actually, land tax has the least loopholes. Capital, businesses, high income individuals etc. can simple move to a jurisdiction with lower taxes if they want to. But they can't take their land with them, so the tax will always be paid (either they keep it, and pay the tax, or sell it to someone else, who can then use it).
> class loader, hot reload

Difficult in AOT environment and IIRC graal's native-image does a dependency analysis and builds a static binary.

These are possible to implement in an AOT language. See Golang.

> I'm saying it's not a universal fundamental wrongness in the way society is structured.

The supply of land is fixed, but the population (demand) increases, so the land owners have an structural advantage in that sense.
I think the link describes this tangentially. The minimal 10mw - 15mw current that high-five allows on a cable that hasn’t completed a handshake is enough to charge the capacitor for secure boot and trident which then can handshake with 0x74 to receive 5v 1a source. When the kernel boots the rest of the handshake process can be completed to increase the current.

That’s at least my understanding from the document.

The NIH already has a 'Public Access Policy' for all NIH-funded research projects (which compose the majority of all university research). If only everyone complied...

It mandates that within 1 year of journal publication the authors are to make the article available for download on pubmed...

"Before you sign a publication agreement or similar copyright transfer agreement, make sure that the agreement allows the paper to be posted to PubMed Central (PMC) in accordance with the NIH Public Access Policy. Final, peer-reviewed manuscripts must be submitted to the NIH Manuscript Submission System (NIHMS) upon acceptance for publication, and be made publicly available on PMC no later than 12 months after the official date of publication."

I don't agree.

I really like DDG - it works good, it is fast and it does not use my personal search for giving me "better ads" or "better search results" that put me in a filter bubble.

But there is a different issue here at play; because of errors like this the whole DDG brand gets a bad rap - and thats not only bad because of the risk of people losing a google alternative but because it is real easy to exploit situations like this for google-like companies to give an impression that "all this privacy thing is bs, all companies work in a same way". There are a lot of people that are not really sure is this "privacy thing" is worth the inconvinience of swiching to some other search engine/browser/app and situations like this one are not helpful in that regard.

Lot of folks are aware of this and are displeased for risking brand confidence of such a visible privacy-concerned company for miniscule gains like performance gains for fetching a favicon for the first time - just fetch the favicon after you display the rest of the page and cache it, maybe dont even try to fech it if the connection is poor - who cares really
I'm part of a few forums, all which serve a niche. And on the smallest of them the community of people is real (though it's often in a us-vs-them way).
Seems a bit like self-inflicted wound though. If I look at the /boot dir on my Rpi2/Arch Linux ARM I don't recognize anything there. No u-boot, not boot.scr, nothing standard.

If I wanted to configure display, read thermals, cpufreq I had to use some rpi specific tools in /opt, intstead of using standard kernel interfaces.

Trying to add a TFT display to RPi involved googling and finding a bunch of outdated/contradictory advice and then still having to figure it out myself with experimentation.

Locally bought Rpi2 at the time was also 3x the price of the better specced Orange Pi PC. And if I wanted to use video decoding I had to pay even more.

I mean, it's great it works for you. My interest was in learning, and it felt like the things I would learn about Rpi would not help me that much with any other boards, due to quirkiness of Rpi's SoC design, and nonstandard OS interfaces. So I bailed early, and focused on something else. I also found the SoC to be rather closed.

That's not fair. There is a very clear reason: it simplifies development for them and avoids duplicating functionality in two different codebases. You can argue about whether or not that's a good trade-off given the privacy implications (and I would agree that it's not) but you can't claim that there is "literally no reason".

Similar to many other commenters, I don't really believe the far-reaching conclusions in the paper either.

As a scientist, the papers that I download from Sci-Hub are mostly the ones I am interested in with regards to my current research projects, and as such are quite likely to be cited. Or in other words, the work I do predicts which papers I download and which papers I cite.

There may be some causation of availability to citations, but I believe it would have been more interesting _before_ Sci-Hub. That is, I would guess that papers freely available somewhere on the internet (mostly home-pages for scientists) would have more citations than papers that are just available behind a pay-wall. For me, Sci-Hub has changed my citations from "just those I can get my hands on", to "any paper I'm interested in".
This point has to be noted. There are languages other than Go with optimizing compilers, and those compiling to C. Go has focus on fast compiles and doesn't do much optimization. And no generics means many things are done using reflection / reimplemented poorly and can be slow.

OCaml, Haskell, SML with MLTon, Nim, D, Crystal etc.. have better performance than Java unless one benchmarks a tight numerical loop. Not to mention memory consumption.

JITs are oversold. JIT may be great for optimizing Python or Lua. Moreover java is just poorly designed from a performance standpoint - no value types, virtual by default.
Damn, I remember some of those games (though I played on newgrounds instead). Yeah, they were really cool.
Part of the point is that likely this has zero privacy implications (except potentially disclosing to someone monitoring your traffic that you are using their browser).

The mistake is rather an area of improvement where they can change something that respect privacy by policy to something that respect privacy by design.

> What are we missing from the Flash days? The GUI?

This isn't so much a problem for developers but the true beauty of Flash was kids went on Kongregate, Newgrounds etc watched Flash animations and played Flash games then got interested in learning how to make them themselves.

They (lets be honest here) the pirated Flash and even a 12 year old would be able to open that interface and make a little animation in it. Now here's the real magic because the second you need to do anything more advanced like pause your animation or loop it you actually need to write a little bit of code.

The real thing we lost with Flash wasn't the technology because canvas and webgl are absolutely superior now, it was the onramp to shipping games and animation content from young creators and the clear path to doing so.

Make a little game, export a SWF, share it with your friends, upload it to a website. You can't even upload something to an app store without having a credit card, paying $99 in some cases and entering legal contracts.
