> A crash is not due to one cause. Multiple things have to fail for this to be a problem.

You're entirely correct.

> Blaming pilots is way too simplistic.

Also correct, but in my opinion the pilots were one of the multiple causes of the accidents, based on the published accounts of their actions. Ignoring Emergency Airworthiness Directives is inexcusable. Ignoring EADs is a problem that should be dealt with as part of the corrective actions required by the FAA.

Recall that immediately prior to the LA crash, the previous flight crew on the same airplane had the same problem, dealt with it, and landed safely. (That was also before the EAD was issued.)

Let me put it another way - would you want to get on an airplane with a crew that didn't pay attention to Emergency Airworthiness Directives? I wouldn't.

And yes, Boeing must fix the MCAS system. I'm not excusing Boeing's role in the accidents.
Sure there is. If the design was as inept as widely reported, there’s plenty of reason to be suspicious.

Then there’s the hackiness of MCAS itself. Boeing tried to cut corners and put bigger engines on an ancient plane design that couldn’t accommodate them without deleterious aerodynamic effects.

Then, to help airlines cut corners, they slapped MCAS on it to suppress those effects and obviate the need for pilot training.

Of course, the big “problem” should be easily manageable by any pilot: an upward-pitching tendency under heavy power. If you don’t notice or can’t easily correct for that, you have no business flying a plane.

The point is that even a Western middle class level of comfort is beyond the reach of most of the population.

It would be interesting and possibly revealing to research the source class of tech workers to see how many don't come from a middle class background.

The only research I could find at short notice was this from the UK:

The UK and the US both have poorer social mobility than Europe, so the figures in the US are likely to be even lower than here.

I used to be quite hardline on this matter myself, but I found the julialang [1] discussion on this topic quite a persuasive argument in favour of default telemetry.

I think it's a difficult ethical question, because there are balancing concerns and interests, and most behaviour doesn't easily fall into the obviously wrong or obviously right categories.

It'd be nice if someone would do something about Wrongthink Trolls. It's not cool to see several downvotes on a random post, three or four levels deep in a comment chain, simply because it criticizes people spending money on useless political spin. It's crazy, maybe even hate speech to suggest a math textbook should be more important than a political memoir? ...on Hacker? Is there some sudden influx of people who join forums like these so they can tell themselves they're intelligent without walking that self-talk?

Quickly finding ourselves in a world that serves to do nothing more than recite problems instead of give actionable steps and vetted research toward solving them. A world where saying something nice to someone if you're not the right color or gender can be violent; where violence toward someone because of their color or gender is something nice.

It's a broken record, but how Orwellian for me, at 34, to sit here and not be able to suggest I don't condone bullying, and for the self-proclaimed egalitarian activist to stand up and say, "You don't deserve to be heard here! You don't even deserve to be here!"

These aren't rights under any legal system but concessions given by a license (or privileges if you prefer this term). Actually the OSS movement and FS won the battle long ago: we are flooded with millions of OSS projects and the largest problem we have it is not anymore closed protocols or lack of knowledge anymore. And I do not think it is reasonable to expect every single project from every single company to be open source just for the sake of it.

I think these privileges you mention are very important but if I am honest with you I do not think we have the moral right to demand companies to release all of their IP and code, specially if it is running in their servers and just because we stablish a customer-vendor relationship. It would feel crazy to demand such lack of privacy in other professional relations.
Slightly OT:

How does HN feel about the recent craze to make web python asynchronous?

To me, the performance gains are dubious in many cases and the complexity overhead of handling cooperative multitasking just seems like a step back for a language like python.
No, they really don't. The prescriptive testing requirements are both clear, and written in blood. If you can't handle those extremes in the prescribed manner, you don't carry the flying public.

The regulation is clear cut, and unambiguous in that regard. Furthermore, the crashes that occurred happened because a system that is only supposed to kick in at the extremes did so in non-extreme situations repeatedly due to GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out), and to disastrous effect.

I welcome you to look at the FDR telemetry curves for the two flights. The AoA measurement for one of them was 70-80 degrees if I recall, the other was 20ish degrees offset from where it should have been.

Check out Appsmith https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith (I'm a co-founder). It's an open source low code product to build internal tools. The UI is flexible and we ship with charting, data grids, & forms. You can connect these to MySQL, Mongo or Postgres instances. There's an editor for writing queries and view responses. Any logic can be written in JS.
I strongly recommend getting your Git / SCM workflow right before implementing Pipelines :-) Of using Git, you might want to make sure that everybody works according to a defined work flow such as Gitflow.

Pipelines can only work if everybody strictly sticks to the rules.

Deferred Neural Rendering: Image Synthesis Using Neural Textures
> "Findings showed that average cognition scores of adults aged 50 and older increased from generation to generation, beginning with the greatest generation (born 1890-1923) and peaking among war babies (born 1942-1947). Scores began to decline in the early baby boomers (born 1948-1953) and decreased further in the mid baby boomers (born 1954-1959)."

Wait what? 1946 is the defining year of the Baby Boom, and now people born in that year don't even count as baby boomers anymore?

I'm always a bit baffled when I see people born in the late 1950s or even the 1960s counted as baby boomers, but to see people from the actual defining year of the baby boom not counted as baby boomers is bizarre.

My parents were both born in 1946 as part of the baby boom. They are not war babies. Their parents (my grandparents) all married after the war. They are the quintessential baby boomers, and this study starts out by classifying them as something else.

I originally wanted to make a joke about the title (cue Millennials: "we knew it!"), but if your study hinges on misclassifying the group you're claiming to study, I find it hard to take the study very seriously.
I've been very interested in the behavioural economics field in general, but for some reason I always find that Ariely tends to jump too fast to conclusions.

Most of his experiments I read about have other explanations that fit the data just as well. For instance, the "The Economist" subscription has another explanation to simple comparison, choice deferral.

People don't really know if they'll want the online or print version, so are happy to pay extra for not having to make that choice now. If you only give them the two choices, you force them to choose. I'm not saying he is wrong, just that I miss him considering other alternatives (that to me sound way more plausible, but are less publication-sexy).
That's pretty cool, although I liked Starboard's block UI and ability to add other content (actually it works very like EditorJS, which I built an Angular component around: https://medium.com/@tanepiper/ngx-editorjs-angular-module-to...)
Huh? That's interesting!

Don't tell me that when people tout the safety of air transport they're using deaths per billions of km rather than per (billions of) journeys. Journeys is the important metric, surely!
People in Europe drive on much tighter darker roads and drive more modern versions of said vehicles and I've noticed no such issue. Aftermarket and self maintenance 15 years ago yielded significantly worse conditions.

I agree however that the sweeping led indicator implementation isn't really of value
I agree with you if the optic is just that it is marketed as OSS but it is in fact not. I woudl still argue that this is the state of the art in nowadays OSS, like for example Mongo or other OSS projects which use OSS for marketing purposes and some key features are then later propetary or licensed differently

That doesn't sound right. If I understand correctly, the crashes were not due to a programmer making a mistake in a few lines of code. They were due to inadequate sensor redundancy, inadequate pilot retraining, and possibly a missing warning light [0] (the fault still lying with Boeing on all three points). At no point did the behaviour of the MCAS software deviate from its specification.

It would be interesting to see what role the lead from leaded fuel plays in this. Boomers in industrialized countries really got the whole load of it.
I've been using 3.1 alpha/beta for a while and it's got some pretty nice improvements. "JSONField for all databases" is a huge deal IMO, as it simplifies a lot of fairly common use cases.
> I already addressed this in my comment.

No, you didn't even attempt to. You addressed a concern about US government monitoring of Microsoft (which seems to be based on the same false premise that intelligence services only monitor domestic entities).

My point, which you did not address, is that transfer to a US owner doesn't somehow mean you have a guarantee that the PRC intelligence apparatus isn't monitoring it, just as it currently being owned by a Chinese entity doesn't provide a guarantee that the NSA isn't monitoring it.

Not quite. Some languages bundle their compiler and code generated as part of the language runtime. Common Lisp is the one that comes to mind first.
JSONField has been an absolute godsend in combination with Django's ORM. I had been using it with Postgres and will likely keep our backend the same, but I cannot recommend it enough. You will have to write some validation and schema code on top if you want your data to have similar (but weaker) guarantees to the usual typed fields; the benefits from the flexibility you get are immeasurable though.
to be honest, you'd rather have the government other than your place of living to have your data.
I suppose that might due to ideology, similar to how the 2nd and 3rd wave of feminism see things differently.

Do you want to ensure a fair future by enforcing equal treatment now? Or do you want to rectify past wrongs by temporarily discriminating in the opposite direction?

If the current student body was 90% white, then you'd need a very low white admission rate to get it down to 36% like the CA average.

> MS is embedding themselves in the open-source community in such a way that it's almost unavoidable to make use of their proprietary tools without even realizing it

Try removing the word "proprietary" from that strategy, and see if it still fits the evidence you see. Or replace it with "paid".

Look at their earnings reports (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/investor/earnings/FY-2020-Q4...). Licensing proprietary software is a small and shrinking piece of the pie, they don't even segment that way anymore in fiscal reports. They are (successfully) pivoting to become the Enterprise cloud service provider, and tightly integrated tools are an important part of that picture. Licenses simply aren't. So it's not "commercial office365", it's "commercial office365 and cloud", because o365 has tightly integrated Azure services and the revenue is tracked together. Which parts are OSS licensed is irrelevant, because that's not a primary revenue driver anymore.

A good example is the fastest growing service on Azure, AKS. 100% open source, even the implementation down to bare metal. They don't care about keeping it proprietary, because they make the same money with it either way.
A kind of it counts. It's a mature yet fairly modern stack.
My opinions are quite controversial, but I think that for most jobs, interviews should be conducted fully in text, through a platform that doesn't reveal anything about the interviewed. This is the only way to combat this kind of bias in recruitment, where it exists too. Teaching people not to discriminate is just the beginning. Changing the system to make discrimination impossible is much, much more important.

WWWH Data Science: When is data science a good fit? (WWWH DS 2, 2019)
Lean Panda | Italy | Senior Javascript Developer | Full-time | REMOTE | GMT - GMT+2

Lean Panda (aka Cantiere creativo) is a digital agency founded in Florence, Italy but now permanently full remote.

We're looking for a senior Javascript developer. Senior for us indicates ability and behaviour, not experience :)

Our client-side development is in React: React Web and React Native. Backend systems are either Ruby on Rails or Elixir Phoenix, or serverless JS.

The need to know Italian is optional, but useful.

Our interview process is divided into a number parts:

* you provide a GitHub/GitLab/other profile and any other material that indicates what you can produce as a developer,

* we have a wide-ranging chat where we work out if you would work in our team, and you ask as many questions as you like about us,

* we pay you to do some real work on one of our projects followed by a review.

If you're interested, contact me directly via my email in my profile.

Five times later, there are some new frameworks, but much of the ecosystem is still sync-only. This is actually one of the things that is pushing me towards Go lately. Python just doesn't seem to mature fast enough and tools heavily disagree on conventions.

I can imagine myself designing, writing and shooting a scene, but I can't imagine acting it well (let's say on Antony Hopkins level). I have maybe the 5-10% of the expression range necessary for that. It's a talent and a skill, possibly more rare than the ones which "just" require lots of brains and an eye for aesthetics.
Most developers don't care they just want to get to job done. Many of them use IntelliJ, etc. which is not free software either.

Pardon the rant, but I feel that the advantages don't outweigh the fact that with each release some of my stuff gets broken and I need to adjust. Django puts DeprecationWarnings basically everywhere and it's a hell to maintain projects that had been alive for a few years. God forbid you do anything with the interfaces they expose. The problem is only getting worse when you consider your dependencies, which in many cases don't keep up with the release cycle of Django. It's a mess.
This is correct if you were working for door dash. Door dash deducts the tip per order. Regular restaurants deduct it monthly so if you can gather enough tips in a month to exceed minimum wage you get paid more in that month. If you earn $1000 (minimum wage in this example) and $2000 in tips for $3000 total compensation your employer takes away $1000 and you end up with $2000. There is an opportunity to earn more with tips.

However, door dash does not follow this simple model. What happens is that door dash calculates how much an order is worth, if the customer tips then it deducts the tip from the order. If your order is worth $10 and the customer tips $5 the tip will always be deducted entirely. You get paid $5 for the order and $5 for the tip. Even if you somehow manage to complete 400 orders and all of them are tipped $5 you won't get a single cent from tips even though the tips alone are enough to pay minimum wage + some. The only scenario in which you can earn money from a tip is if the tip exceeds the order's value. Someone tips $50 on a $10 order. You get $0 for the order and $50 for the tip.

When you consider that in the restaurant arrangement it's actually intended for waiters to be primarily paid by tips (at least that's how I heard it works in the US??) they'll likely exceed minimum wage and only get the minimum wage during bad months.

With door dash you're the one who's being paid for every order you complete, not the cook + rest of the restaurant. Therefore getting a tip at all actually requires a heroic effort because people are not going to tip more than the order is worth. The tips might as well not exist at all and are a pure cash grab.

The reason I'm bringing up Door Dash is that it's an example of a truly evil company vs restaurants where it's just a very unusual but fair payment arrangement.
Maybe it's just me, but reflecting on old memories has shown me how unreliable the human memory is, so nowadays I just try to rely as little as possible in my own memory.

I also find it takes a "computational" toll on my thinking ability. As far as I'm concerned, my mind pretty much has only volatile storage, and anything that should be kept for later needs to be written back to something more durable.
I think fear of the unknown is classified as a risk in some places, they completely changed management style and structures after I left so maybe the company changed as well.
