No, no proven mechanism.

There are an infinity of answers why, mine:

There is no "pause" when it comes to financial relationships.

One org's liability is another one's asset. Your rent payment goes to your building owner's mortgage, the payments from which are received by an SPV, which is an asset in the fixed income portion of your investment portfolio, which is itself an asset in which you have shares, the value of which determines the value to you.

So like the proverbial butterfly, you not paying your rent hits you on the other side.

These are all contractual relationships, usually private, and bespoke. There are legal consequences to you not paying your rent. Consequences to your owner not paying his mortgage. Consequences to the absence of delivery to the SPV. Consequences so the SPV not returning its contractual interest rate. Consequences to loss in value of your shares. All of these consequences are encoded into myriad unique contracts- your lease agreement, the mortgage agreement, etc.

There fundamentally is no standardization across these agreements. There is no central registry of all of these relationships and dependencies.

There can't be, operationally, as they change in real time, and there can't be theoretically, as maintaining one would violate so many principles of privacy and autonomy and freedom and so forth.

Finally, we also live in a world where flows are dependent on work, of various kinds- underpaid and -valued work often performed by women and POC, overpaid and overvalued often performed by high status white men. All, nevertheless, work.

When work stops, but flows must continue, what do we do?

The pandemic, by itself, did not do this country in.

Rather, it was betrayed from within.

For decades, the conservative establishment in this country (or rather: the right-wing ideologues that have hijacked the the term "conservativism" so successfully that it has come to mean essentially the opposite of what the word lexically signifies) have been working proudly and tirelessly toward a single goal -- as expressed in the words of one of its most eloquent spokesmen: "To reduce government to the size where I can take it into a bathtub and drown it."

It would seem they've now finally gotten their most cherished wish.

To me, this reads as a total reduction in the effectiveness of the MCAS.

We still have no indication that operating the aircraft without MCAS is safe, therefor if the system fails during a critical moment or is otherwise unable to account for the increased angle of attack, we could see jets plummet to the earth in a stall scenario. Absolutely the worst thing that could happen.

I would. I get it that Boeing messed up the first time, but this was always a failure that was preventable with proper pilot instruction and awareness. Even if they didn't fix the software I couldn't imagine a 737MAX pilot not being aware of this.

Also, it's unlikely that Julia will handily beat the handwritten, carefully optimized C-code in numpy. At that level, it isn't very much about the language but more about the programmers implementing the algorithms. A major selling point of Julia is that you will have fast code even in cases where the code doesn't neatly factor into calling static kernels written in e.g. C.

Yeah, I agree that it's not nearly enough yet. The level of support for defunding police to fund social programs was surprising to me but of course our presidential candidate doesn't seem to be on board so that's not great.

But yeah, there's been a substantial increase in conservative viewpoints here lately. Not that they're all racist, but I see a lot more racist dog whistling here than I used to. It's really unfortunate because it means anything politically charged tend to get flagged really quickly. I do appreciate seeing it in a way as it keeps me aware of just how popular those viewpoints are even among some otherwise talented people. But it does shut down a lot of productive discussion as well.

Basically all modern airliners with engines under the wing generate torque that tries to raise the nose of the plane. MCAS is to correct for nonintuitive behavior near the limit of the flight envelope when the wing is at a high angle of attack. Most flights never get anywhere near that, and disabling MCAS would not be noticeable.

Do they have a usable debugger now? My last experience was 2 years ago, and launching it even on some trivial code took over 10 seconds.
Current resolution generally seems to be less than 100 headlight 'pixels' so we may need more resolution before we can dim someone's face specifically.

Yes, to my understanding the only issue a pilot would run into with MCAS disabled and neutral is decreasing control forces at high angles of attack. The FAA requires control forces to monotonically increase with angle. I say "only" but that probably makes for a very weird feeling airplane to fly; how dangerous that actually is for a trained pilot I can't answer for sure but my gut and experience tells me not very.
This might be oversimplification, but I'll venture it and hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong:

If MCAS is disabled, then the airplane will fly very differently from the 737s that everyone with an existing 737 flight rating is used to.

So the plane can fly, but it'll feel different.

And that sure does seem like a problem to get back safely to the ground.

>Why Microsoft though, is there other company competing for the deal?

The only other companies, in tech, that could offer to pay 100B:

AAPL, MSFT, FB, AMZN, GOOG.

Once you exit FAAMG, the next largest company is Berkshire Hathaway with a 500B valuation. I don't see Buffet paying 1/5th of his own company for TikTok.

Among FAAMG, the other 4 just got grilled by Congress over Antitrust. FB & GOOG would likely never get approved it. I don't see AAPL owning a social network, given the privacy concerns around it. That leaves AMZN, who has Twitch as a "sister" platform. However I don't see Bezos getting away with acquiring a high profile company like TikTok, as he's currently enemy #1. That leaves MSFT who has been trying to get into social media but has kept failing (most recent of which was Mixer, which pretty much funneled millions into top streamers for nothing).

It's a shame. UFCS is one of the single biggest features that could really shave off huge amounts of boilerplate. It can also allow you to provide fine grained type safety where you may not usually be able to (as opposed to passing this down the chain a la operator<<)
That's interesting though I suppose unsurprising.

We did a PoC with Infineon, and demoed at CES this last January, something related to the limitations of Fail-Safe mechanisms in autonomous systems and what changes in deisgn & runtime context are essential for moving from Fail-Safe to Fault-Tolerant systems.

In the case of MCAS this probably works out okay because the remediation is to disable and hand control back to the human (something that I'm frankly shocked wasn't already part of the hazard and risk assessment) in loop. Alternative design approaches could probably extend the safe operational envelope for MCAS to tolerate more (or simultaneous) dimensions of failure, but outside of making MCAS a more valuable feature to market (which isn't that useful since it's baseline essential for the aircraft to even be certifiable) it's easy to see the calculation for not going down that redesign road.
Arrested for "your cell phone said you were at the protest" not so much.

Then again, what would happen to a protestor that actually protested in a non-violent manner? Let's specify in the US as I can only guess it would be much more dangerous to protest in a country without a protected constitutional right to do so. So a US citizen brings their cell phone to a protest, non-violently marches with their signs, sings some songs, yells some, gets dispersed in a violent manner and/or gets arrested. If their cell phone gets pinged in a Stingray sweep, what happens? What's the negative repercussions?

It seems strikingly brazen for the landlords to start asking for full rent in this market. Even before covid, vacant storefronts were sitting on the market for months or years due to retail and banking moving online[1]. Good luck finding someone who wants to start a new restaurant in the next 9 months or so. Even if they think they can force the current tenant into bankruptcy and collect, there won't be much to collect after taking away the tenant's only income stream.

It all just feels very short-sighted.

I think it's great that it's relatively common to work on a complex piece of machinery that you use daily. You get the joys of understanding how a large system works and being able to tweak it according to your desires. It could easily go the other way, where every subsystem is DRM'd and only licensed professionals were allowed to touch it.

Letting anyone do whatever they want can obviously lead to problems, like headlights that blind people or parts that fall off and kill the person behind them. But overall, I think I like the world where people are free to experiment and create.
Keep in mind two significant caveats:

- phone batteries basically on last 2 years or less (iPhones are rated to 80% capacity after 500 cycles), which means your phone will last 4/5 as long as it did when new and possibly shut off prematurely in cold/hot temperatures unless you pay for a battery replacement ($50-100+)

- since we bring phones with us pretty much anywhere, a random fall in a pool, an unforseen rain storm, or butterfingers over a hard surface could end up destroying your phone well before those points.

While the SE (2020) certainly has more potential life than the 4a, both phones become fairly useless after 3 years due to the battery concern anyway and might not make it that far depending on who's using them. At that point, the 64GB larger storage, nicer screen, better camera, and $50 lower price of the 4a becomes a competitive advantage.
It takes years and significant effort to overturn laws in most countries.

In China they can do it anytime Xi Jinping snaps his fingers.

I know very little about headlights, but I do know that too many cars have a certain kind of extra bright, blue-white headlights which hurt my eyes. I don't know why they are allowed, but I'd love to see them banned.

They may be great for the driver, but getting blinded isn't much fun for oncoming traffic.

> "When a car approaches in the oncoming lane, the 911's headlights dim around it while leaving the rest of the pattern bright."

And what if it's a bike in the incoming lane? Or on the separate bike path on either side of the road? Will it detect that?

Because too often, clever car technologies don't properly account for other traffic than cars.
Once it's clear to everyone that we're there, it's too late though.
Watch them rename it the Boeing American Patriot
Woah, woah, hold on. I'm just referencing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law here.

As somebody who has written a lot of cruddy, unmaintained Rust library bindings because I needed them for a project, I'm speaking, in no small part, about my own work here. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

90% of everything is crap- C or Rust- because there are a whole lot more low-effort libraries and tools than high-quality, maintained, documented ones. There's less Rust code, so the low-effort tools are more visible.

Rust is my favorite programming language, and I use it for everything where a REPL isn't critical (there Python still wins) unless other factors prevent the use of Rust, like the need to work with others or run on weird embedded architectures. I've been writing Rust since before 1.0, was at the 1.0 launch party in SF, and even contributed the (hilariously small, but) std::iter::once API.

So- my intention was "clearly" to malign Rust? Well, actually, it was to defend it. Again, sorry if that wasn't clear, but ...assume good faith next time! Please!
There is a funny anecdote, likely apocryphal, but still worth retelling because of the implied wisdom:

When talking about the soon to be released Chinese passenger jet one of the principals of the company was overheard saying that he would never allow his family to board one of these aircraft, that's how bad they were.

Some party bigwig overheard this and addressed the man: "I know 100% certain that this is going to be one of the best aircraft ever made in China. Because you and all your extended family will be on board the maiden flight."
This reminds me of the “not sure if bumpy road or literally everyone in the oncoming lane is flashing their lights at me” phenomenon.
Given the upcoming Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 release, I wish it could provide us non-commercial flyers with a simulation of the flight controls under the specific events that cause failure in the Max 737.

I realize the subject isn't something a corporation would touch or code for, nor do they have a 737 in the lineup for 2020, but it would provide me with better understanding of the problem.
Been doing this for a few years without assigning a name to it. It works wonders for someone who is a chronic procrastinator like myself. I'd also like to add:
If you can set a schedule to "just to it" for a reoccurring task, that helps immensely in reducing brain strain.

> only there to adjust flying characteristics when the wing is at a high angle of attack.

No, that's a Boeing talking point. It's there to prevent the aircraft from stalling, not to 'adjust flying characteristics.' The nose pitches up during high thrust, MCAS kicks in to to counter what the pilot is doing (stick and thrust) so the plane doesn't stall.
