The OP is a well-written, well-reasoned, thought-provoking article which I would recommend reading in full before passing judgment on it. Quoting from the first few paragraphs, which I found compelling:

> But let us also notice something: The New York Times, the New Yorker, the Washington Post, the New Republic, New York, Harper’s, the New York Review of Books, the Financial Times, and the London Times all have paywalls. Breitbart, Fox News, the Daily Wire, the Federalist, the Washington Examiner, InfoWars: free!

> You want “Portland Protesters Burn Bibles, American Flags In The Streets,” “The Moral Case Against Mask Mandates And Other COVID Restrictions,” or an article suggesting the National Institutes of Health has admitted 5G phones cause coronavirus—they’re yours.[a] You want the detailed Times reports on neo-Nazis infiltrating German institutions, the reasons contact tracing is failing in U.S. states, or the Trump administration’s undercutting of the USPS’s effectiveness—well, if you’ve clicked around the website a bit you’ll run straight into the paywall.[b]

> This doesn’t mean the paywall shouldn’t be there. But it does mean that it costs time and money to access a lot of true and important information, while a lot of bullshit is completely free.

Random story: I once saw an one of the vans for the local ISP driving around wtih a box labeled "Stingray" and got all excited.

Picture here: https://imgur.com/a/P1nPSD2

Turns out that "Stingray" is also the name of a system for air-blown optic fiber installation.

Personally I would have avoided the reuse of that particular name for anything in telecommunications because it has somewhat dark connotations already!
Numpy is written in C. What are Julia’s functions written in?
Disproving their points is secondary to the argument made by the author, which is rhetorical - don’t listen to pseudointelligence just because it comes from the ‘Very Smart’ (using the author’s sarcastic phrasing here).

It’s not as though the subjects didn’t put forward thoughtful arguments, but the author doesn’t agree and so goes on to say that their arguments are vacuous and the subjects are vacuous, which is an extraordinary leap.
There are plenty of mentions for Bill Clinton:

Hum, it doesn't seem like a lot.

Maybe I missing something, but looks like a software update to make MCAS more robust. And if it bug, raise an alarm and flight-crew operating procedures should be (?) to deactivate MCAS and fly without ?

Could pilots actually fly the plane without MCAS ? It must feels like an entirely different aircraft.

Sure, but that isn't what is driving the economy. Look instead at the number of jobs, and contribution to the GDP. Look what happens to an area when big business leaves it.

Curious, where did you see this? I can't remember seeing anything like that (but that's not to suggest it didn't happen)
In the modern world you should be able to grab things and quickly integrate them and see how they work as your prototyping projects.

C++ doesn't conform to this model.
The repo market is not a direct cash infusion. It’s essentially the Fed propping up the price of US T-Bills (a good thing).
It's a personal thing. On both sides. Can't argue with that. Just accept, or avoid/ignore.
I wouldn't either and none of my friends & family would.
In fact, I don't see how the they can even take the chance of flying this plane without a complete structural redesign. Another crash and they are finished for good. This spells doom for boeing.

If some airlines tried to hide or change the type of aircraft you have booked, then you can be sure there will be others that won't (and make it a selling point).
Given the amount of additional scrutiny these models are getting I wouldn’t be surprised if in the long run of their lifetime they have a better safety record.
We can't expect property owners to pause rent payments without the government pausing property tax payments.
Then the Federal Reserve buys MBS (mortgage backed securities). Or we bail out banks again. So eventually we all end up paying the corner store's rent through taxes and inflation?
If you turn the boat around in the next 5 years, you will hopefully have another 30 years of a flourishing career, more than the entire career of some prodigies who perished young. This assumes a projected retirement of 70 years old. What is particularly exciting is that new industries are starting to form, and any one of us can be pioneers in those industries (fintech, VR, AR, AI, automated vehicles, drones, robotic process automation, Edge Cloud, etc...).
Here's for example an article in the Guardian from 2015: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/may/26/high-tech...

It could be used that way, but do you think that’s the inevitable conclusion of his argument?
Dude. WHAT are you doing.

I understand that your situation mandates a bit of pragmatism in order to survive.

If that is the case, why are you painting a target on your back?

Do you seriously think nobody at Facebook reads this?

You just admitted, with your REAL NAME, that you basically lied to Facebook about information that actively poses a liability to them and took their money.

I am seriously baffled as to why you think this comment was a good idea.

I am not trying to antagonize you, but highlighting the fact that you are vulnerable while publicizing information that exacerbates the situation does not align here.
Agreed, I gave up on reading the article it was so bad.

Imagine you have two runners who are running a marathon. The first runner has to carry a 50 lb backpack for the first 10 miles of the race. If you check their times for the midpoint of the race would you say carrying the backpack can't possibly be the reason the first runner is slower than the second? They aren't carrying it anymore (ie the problem is solved) so why didn't they catch up?

Didn’t an email link with Boeing employees basically saying the exact same thing? “I’d never let my family fly on one” or something?
So the things I'm most proud of aren't quite launched yet, but I work right now on a lot of electric mobility projects. Something like a charger for an electric car is especially fascinating because you have none of the cues of typical car refuelling (smell, sound, vibration) and you can create an entirely new metaphor and language around how that charging experience plays out with light, sound, haptic...

Often you'll have a client who says "I want my product to be smart and connected so I need a 5 inch touch screen on the front of the box" and its fun to show them an entirely different approach that delivers both a better user experience and also becomes a key differentiator for their brand.

How can you possibly not know that. You are literally making them bighter so it would obviously be brighter for the drivers too. why do you think its illegal in the first place.
Less than 48 hours after that video was published, OpenRCT2 patched their pathfinding algorithm to not prefer some directions more than others: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-5aX2oLOgU.

Yeah, maybe he was referring to constructors. That might make sense, since something like "MyType t;" could allocate.
I guess in the kernel context the STL (or whatever was around in 1992) would not be used though.

Julia was written in C++ in early stages if I remember correctly then Julia ;) The point here is that NumPy is heavily fine-tuned and will beat almost any other language implementation out there. The community is bigger and therefore there are much more free hands.
Even though this model has big design flaws and a relatively bad safety record, the absolute level of risk is still pretty low. I knowingly expose myself to larger risks in my day-to-day life. So I won’t lose any sleep over booking a flight on this type of plane.
I tend to agree with you there.

I am starting to think that ultimately, though, the answer is one that no one particularly wants to admit because it boils down to two unpalatable options, one distributed and unregulated; the other centralized and regulated.

1) Unregulated: No one is the arbiter of truth, in which case a haphazard group of marketers, propagandists and psyops peddlers reign supreme. This eventually/inevitably consolidates into an organized propaganda outlet.

2) Regulated: A group is selected based on some credential or merit and you end up with essentially a Technocracy. More or less what the "Elites" boogeyman is. If the Technocracy is staffed by scientists and engineers, then it might be the best possibility available. But this also eventually consolidates and leads to an erosion of the eligibility credentials and then non-expert people will gain positions within it for ulterior motives.

If the technocratic group is limited in scope of what "truths" it can decide on, then that is potentially a reasonable compromise.
A clever play? Do Americans know a world outside of the US market exist?
What hell of a message is this?
A publicly traded company buying the domestic operations of a foreign company, just because the government deems it a National security risk, with no proof whatsoever? The same government who has spied citizen and high officials of ALLIED countries for years?

This is pure international trade insanity.
We’re discussing Microsoft buying TikTok as if it were just another valid course of action, while it’s the most Soviet-Russia style thing that has ever happened in International tech trade in decades.
You want another one? Taiwan’s TSMC and all the shenanigans going on about their Arizona fab plant.
Pure. insanity.

If you don’t get it, pause for a moment, and think what would happen if China would suggest that Huawei should buy a successful Western service operating in China to avoid a national security risk.

Pompeo is right when he says that this is like another Cold War, but with just one big difference: it’s America that’s playing the role of Russia now.
Kaepernick was blackballed by the league, full stop. Find me another instance of an uninjured QB under the age of 35 who led a team to a Super Bowl 3 years prior who was not only cut by his current team but not signed for even a backup role by another club.

There's a reason that Cam Newton has a job today and Kaepernick doesn't, and it's because Newton didn't get cancelled.

Synthetic Minds (YC S18) | REMOTE (for the moment) | $125k-$180k | 7th team member: engineer/designer

Synthetic Minds is building program synthesizers, i.e., automation that can write code. We have a working prototype in stealth and are currently in the process of doing user studies.

Our hiring needs over the next month are:

- Full stack / frontend engineer

- Generalist

- Passively looking: UI/UX designer

Details on positions we are actively hiring for are on: https://www.workatastartup.com/companies/1873

The engineering team works all the way from the front end to the bleeding-edge backend program synthesis stack, so there is opportunity for significant technical learning. Our team includes 3 PhDs and 2 ex-Googlers, and people with 10+ years of experience. We are backed by YC, Khosla, and Pantera. This is my 2nd YC startup. Our team of 6 is split across SF + Seattle, and if you are remote we'd prefer the US to maximize time-zone overlap.

Oops, brain fart. No, 1 is not equal to 4 even in Grothendieck's world. Scheme theory only gets you so far...

A correct example of what I had in mind is x^2 + y^2 = 1 and (x - 2)^2 + y^2 = 1.

That said, algebraic geometry takes care of this "bad example" also. This is done exactly as alcolade explained: consider "points at infinity" in projective space.

What kind of NDAs did they force on you? It's one thing to walk away silently, but you know they just filled your role with someone else with less morals.

The other option is scorched earth similar to the recent news articles where there were blog posts publicly shaming the company. Wondering what kind of in between options are available. Anonymous posts are a start at least to get the inquisitive types to look in that direction and/or add some weight to previous anonymous posts.

> So my point is it's largely security theatre, like airport security.

It's difficult to improve on as well.. good physical security is directly at odds with accessibility and livability.

> It makes you feel better I guess but does nothing.

Worse than that.. as you've noted, it's reconditioned your expectations and it belies the fact that you can never truly secure anything in your home.

If you truly have something valuable, you can either insure it and hope for the best, or store it somewhere other than a space optimized for sleeping, eating and bathing.

If the cost of the security system is less than the discount you get on your insurance policy, then it may be worthwhile purely for that, but it's highly unlikely that the technology will be used to capture the thief let alone recover your property. There is much better and less intrusive technology for that purpose anyways.

Home security seems on the same footing with home anti virus.

I'm not a huge Apple fanboy by any measure, but one thing I do appreciate is that they consider wireless charging to be a table stakes feature, and include it even in their "budget" phones. They clearly understand how dramatically it elevates the user experience.

Compare that to every Android manufacturer who either don't offer wireless charging at all or gate it to flagships, it's a really sad state of affairs for someone like myself who won't even consider a phone without wireless charging today.
> It must feels like an entirely different aircraft

No, if MCAS is disabled then the vast majority of the time it will fly just like normal. MCAS is only there to adjust flying characteristics when the wing is at a high angle of attack.
