> more optimized jpeg

The thing about compression is that there is no single "more optimized" knob - there's a bunch of different tradeoffs.

Want a compression algo that can compress existing images to smaller sizes than JPEG? You can already do that with neural image compression. Want a compression algo that can decode that compressed image in 0.01 seconds? You need JPEG.
> I think we must reiterate to help you “get” it

Have you considered you may not be correct here? I know that may be difficult to comprehend, but you are not a teacher shedding light on the unenlightened - you're just another layperson attempting to understand a complex system.

> what happened here is that the issue was caused _deliberately_ by a series of bad choices

Are you suggesting Boeing intentionally downed it's own planes? That would seem to be an extraordinary claim - and not one reflected by any news source.

> When a system allows for deliberate choices to cause an issue, the system needs to be addressed.

What was the deliberate choice here? Only enabling one MCAS sensor or having calibration issues? Was it not making the need to disable the MCAS sensor in some situations clear? Was it changing the altitude model without changing the plane model number and forcing a pilot relicense?

Or, was the issue with Boeing being able to do their own testing? Was it due to a lack of guidelines on MCAS sensor calibration and placement?

> I suspect this is endemic of a system that lacks accountability...

Yet we are talking about this after their fleet was grounded, a congressional inquiry has happened and the investigation and analysis are ongoing. That doesn't seem like a lack of accountability to me.

Again, you're making the claim that the system is broken intrinsically because this occurred. You keep even saying it's deliberate - do you have evidence here? Because making poor choices is not the same as intent, and a bad actor does not a fundamentally broken system make. You seem to be in the position that because bad things happened we must dismantle the entire system without actually proposing a replacement - it is not enough to throw stones, we must actually put forth a solution set.
But the thing is, nobody said you have to pay for Netflix or Amazon. Each person is responsible for making good choices with his or her money. Lack of financial discipline is not society's fault.

Yes, managing finances takes some level of skill when there are many different expenses in a modern personal budget. But there are ways to live frugally and get ahead. They just aren't flashy or fun.

On two very small incomes my wife and I made big financial strides early in our marriage. We were very frugal but we made it work. We had the lowest tier Internet. We had a very conservative budget for eating out and groceries. We didn't have Netflix or Amazon. Once we paid off a number of debts, our spending was able to increase responsibly.

Edit: More tactful wording.

I don't think it has much to do with wealth. In fact, in old societies primogeniture practiced by the wealthy meant that the eldest son was expected to stay at home. The second sons with limited inheritance often set out on their own.

In the US context, it has historical connections to the glorification of pioneerism and expansion through the western frontier (along with the genocide that accompanied that).

After that, in the post WW2 period, opportunity in the US was so abundant that a (commonly white male) school dropout could walk into a factory and get a job with benefits. The same person could then afford a modest house (not the gigantic houses of today), support a family on a single income, and had access to affordable health care and good public education for their kids.

In the context of that sort of opportunity, staying at your parents' home in adulthood was far more indicative of personal failings, and that's where the current trope disparaging adult (mostly male) children living at home originated.

But given how diminished all of those opportunities are today (no lands to forcibly take from less technologically advantaged peoples, no new factories, expensive housing where jobs are available, high qualifications required), it's a trope that's pretty irrelevant today.

No, to write the regulations you need to understand the problems. The people who understand the problem probably started in industry.
There are. It's an entire engineering discipline and a required one on aviation/military projects: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_engineering

There absolutely would have been systems engineers in charge of the various budgets and margins baked into the design. Safety is always a top one in aviation. In fact, Id be surprised to find there wasn't a team of systems safety engineering on the max. We need to see their analysis to understand whether this was a fault of engineering or management. If the engineers had done a thorough systems safety analysis and quantified the risk, then the responsibility definitely does not fall on engineering.

I have been told on this forum that the men and women working in wildlife conservation are in it for vanity or for self gratification. Relatedly, I have been told on this forum that there is nothing that regular folks can do about climate change.

But then events like this happen, and no one reflects on how fatally pessimistic this community can be. Are we ourselves not capable of forecasting the effect of a burning state on migration patterns? Are we as a society not blessed with enough resources to intervene? If we could all agree to do something—no matter how trivial—to minimize the destruction, instead of doing nothing and attacking the ideas of those who do anything, maybe the aggregate effect would be that events like this are avoided.

Strong disagree, it's a terrible question, most likely not entirely factual, and there's no reason to dignify it with an in depth answer as it would require breaking down multiple company's ad ecosystems for one question. You're re-interpreting the question as something he didn't actually say. The question, as it is in the official record is "how does that show up on a 7 year old's iPhone".

> Senator, ad providers have little control over what the content of the ads that are going into these applications is.

This isn't really true, and also if interpreted in the most negative way it can be, this is opening up a big can of worms that isn't true. To say that they have little control over whether an ad somehow finds a picture of your grandfather and shows it to you is just straight up false. The only ad network where this is possible is Facebook and the advertisers do not get access to those images or know what names they are using to affiliate with their ads. Only that they can show names from a user's friends list.

I still think the most likely assumption is that the ad showed an old man and the 7 year old assumes any elderly man is her grandpa, or that the congressman made up the scenario based on something similar happening (seeing an ad in a facebook feed with a photo of the grandpa). It's a combative question and deserves a combative answer.

It's like when my mom calls me to say her iPhone is showing an error on the screen, but she can't remember what it was. So I ask her to write it down on a piece of paper and then call me next time it happens. It is always

"A new version of iOS is available for your device. Press OK to upgrade to iOS x.x.x."

Edit: If they were chatting at the bar about how ad networks work, it's one thing. But this is a congressional hearing and there's no reason you should need to potentially implicate yourself on a situation that doesn't even exist.

On Modern Web Applications Stability
>re-write my application on minor library updates

This is the tension of semver - a minor library update might include a breaking change, but that doesn't mean you have to rewrite your application. For example, lets say I have a library that returned an int32 in a single function that would silently corrupt your data, but now has to return an int64.

The right thing to do would be to issue a major upgrade where the function returns an int64. If you never used this function you wouldn't have to rewrite your application. Major updates in semver only mean backwards compatibility is broken, it doesn't mean it's am whole new api.

To me, the Go approach takes your approach to major upgrades - reserve them for when you do something like rewriting the API. That's to me isn't a good assumption to bake in, I'd like to change a single function signature without having to copy my entire library to a new folder.
Jovial is, indeed, still used. And no one knows it. The old timers who did have mostly retired, the young folks don't grok it. It's leading to a lot of rewrites that may or may not pan out.

Found the person letting good candidates slip through the cracks. I literally just rescinded my application from a place when given a far too-open as far as choose-your-own-stack take-home assignment. I chose one very, very popular library that had unbeknownst to me, been slightly broken for some time. I fixed the library instead of doing the assignment and submitted an upstream pull. The recruiter's response was something along the lines of: "well, if you're having trouble completing the assignment, maybe you're not a right fit." I verbally handed the recruiter their ass, something more people need to start doing, and walked.

I've also been turned down for telling someone XML wasn't something people needed to really "know" to work with. The stack bias and navel-gazing of recruiters in their vainglorious attempts to prove that what they're doing is useful has reached peak.

Yep, and all they'd see is encrypted garbage, unless they have encryption keys, if the messages are end-to-end encrypted. That's the whole point.

There are ways to do this on IRC (e.g. libfish), but no idea how that crypto actually stacks up by todays standards.
As with so many "root cause" investigations, there are deeper issues the more you dig. And these issues turn out to be both a gradual evolution of circumstances that changed
Boeings, Congress's, and our collective responsibility for the matter when you peel back the layers.

It turns out (in my view) that this is just the inevitable result of a slow abandonment of the role that the military, federal government, and the US people elected to play in the development of civil aviation in the last century.

Maybe many have forgotten, but our civil aviation legacy largely came from R&D and production of aircraft during WW2 and later. Boeing, McDonnell, Grumman, Northrop, these were all companies that formed from that legacy. But what they produced besides planes was a government infrastructure that was expert in procuring, regulating, and evaluating the performance of not just aircraft but also companies.

And it also produced aircraft companies that worked closely with government -- but most importantly, with their concerns in mind. They were partly the customer!

Over 50 years, the pressures of public debt, cost of employees, efficiency, etc. meant that that expertise in the regulatory bodies gradually began to be hollowed out. Experts in government found themselves too bothered by the heavier and heavier constraints of government, and lured by the higher salaries of the private sector. The leaders of a new field were replaced by mere maintainers of it. We all know what happens as that changes, I think.

Government gradually also became less of a "customer" in the design and production of planes. And the airplane companies themselves became more profit-need-driven. They are basically like the auto manufacturers with huge workforces that need their insurance and IAM wages paid.

So what do you get in a situation like this? The inevitable:

Aircraft manufacturers that start to optimize their designs and production for low cost and "simple" variations on old designs (don't want to invest in from-scratch new planes). Regulators who don't know how to evaluate properly new designs, and anyway whose responsibilities are basically staffed for and by the airline because few people want to be regulators. And a public that incentivizes this all because we have other debts to pay and don't want to cough up the $ in ticket prices or taxes.

Until a plane crashes.

Anyway, that's my take. So if they were honest, Congress would point the mirror at themselves too, in this exercise.

In the old school Linux distro world, dependency management is handled by the package manager. This way has benefits and drawbacks:

* there is specific version of the library associated with the OS that the developer can develop against - if the OS updates, the developer also has to update their apps - so they don't leave old bugs and vulns open

* there is specific version of the library associated with the OS that the developer has to develop against - if the OS updates, the developer also has to update their apps - which sometimes can be very annoying if the API breaks

There is more to it, but this is the thing that constantly has me changing my opinion on the matter.
