Well, I'm only saying that because apparently over 700k people have become unemployed on account of the C.V. That is a significant number of the working population in the UK. This should mean that there would a significant decrease in prices - the bottom would have fallen through the market. I know that the government have pumped huge amounts into the economy which is inflationary. Still, I think house prices will have to drop.

If everyone needs to evacuate the aircraft in the event of a fire, moving down the aisle wearing a tent, without the use of hands, is going to be less-efficient.

If the cabin suddenly depressurizes, good luck grabbing an oxygen mask through that thing.
It's a safety issue: "These types of PPE are safety concerns, especially tents / pods which can slow access to critical safety procedures, including emergency evacuations and use of oxygen masks"

If there is a loss of oxygen, you may only have a few seconds to react before losing consciousness, and also to avoid brain damage.

There's a difference between people's own weight which they can't easily control or change and excessive personal protection which can be swapped for a mask and a bottle of hand sanitizer.

I don't see the reason for banning these outright though, maybe just choose a section of the cabin where people wearing these can be grouped. It's convenient for everyone and doesn't pose any extra risks for the rest of the passengers.
FTA:

Yet even after quoting that message from the airline, the author recommends they instead sell those items themselves, without addressing the safety issue. I agree that the airline's position here is reasonable. That said, I also wouldn't be taking any non-essential flights.
HN is a tough crowd to sell everyman software to. Compared to your moderately tech literate person off the street, many here fiercely stand their ground on the computing solutions that they choose. Maybe this is a consequence of knowing how the sausage is made.

I admire your goal to try to deliver value to both groups. I think this strategy is broadly underappreciated, and I expect it improves the product faster than focusing on either group exclusively.
I’m skeptical the Facebook would bother to invest so many billions into VR just for the chance of being part of the competitive game console market. It makes sense to think about how it fits into the long-term strategy for their main cash cow, ads. If there’s a future where internet/app usage hours shift toward VR, Facebook doesn’t want to be left in the dust like Myspace when users switch to a new social network. Even if they can keep users on a Facebook-owned VR app, they don’t want to wind up paying a 30% tax to some platform owner.

Everyone uses numpy, but not because they want to or the API itself provides some massive value. They use it because unless you're calling into C for literally every operation, Python is far too slow to get any scientific computing work done.

And because of this, numpy has to be much larger and less orthogonal. It needs to provide a wide range of functions that ensure that the user will never have to drop into regular Python and suffer a 100x performance hit. This is unfortunate, and prevents numpy by having the beauty and orthogonality of true array languages like apl, j, or kdb+/q.

This problem makes it difficult for new scientific users of Python to write fast code. Everything can be fast and then you add one if statement and the performance falls off a cliff. I've helped many people in various labs as this is a recurring problem that researchers face.

As such, the ease of use that Python supposedly has for scientific computing is a lie. The APIs are extremely complex, from numpy to Pandas to statsmodel and scikit. And they have to be, because scientific Python can't compose code due to performance reasons.

In contrast, Julia is much easier to learn, easier to use, and is pretty much better than Python for scientific applications in every way imaginable. In other words, it is strictly superior. The performance is consistently fast and array manipulation is built into the core language, unlike with Python. You are free to write Julia code instead of shelling out to C.

I'll probably get down voted, but Python should not be used for new scientific computing projects. I've had tons of experience with ml/financial Python and after trying Julia, I'll never go back willingly. The difference in speed, complexity, ergonomics, and expressivity is so stark it's hard to imagine why anyone would choose Python for a greenfield scientific computing project in 2020, especially since Julia can trivially access all of Python's ecosystem.
How do you tell if your air cleaner that you are using generates ozone?
Looks very interesting. But that's a lot of money, so you need to make sure people can try it out somewhere.
No real question, but I do want to say thank you for writing and maintaining the daemon for Linux. I use Dropbox as, essentially, one disk shared across my many computers.

This has been invaluable in keeping my life in order, and I'm a happy customer.
Isolating at home is a good way to stay safe if vulnerable.
Yes it actually is the answer because that's the design paradigm of gnome. You get a basic shell that implements Red Hats vision and everything that you find missing/don't like is what extensions are for.
We used Datadog at my last place to do monitoring/alerting type things. It's pretty pricey in my opinion and the amount you get out of it just wasn't worth it for us, but it might be for you. Another option is to host Prometheus for this.
Yes, but with 30 ms additional latency on top of base latency for doing the same with a normal head mounted display. You can see confused questions about this all over the oculusvr forums.

So now you're tethered, your tether is more fragile, and you have significant extra latency.
Ok, no. Look at the GPL interaction with App Stores. GPL has been debated on HN forever.
What data? All the data!
Can you hold your breath breathed out for that long? That's what happens in practice when the cabin depressurises.
Maybe? That doesn’t counter my point. If anything it only enhances it. Estate taxes do not contribute to “riotous living” because cash on hand is not at all a limiting factor on how much they party. There are more important things, like the perception and how that affects them (like you pointed out).

“If I leave this hundred billion dollars to my kids, the government will take a portion. Better to spend it on hookers and blow instead!”

That makes about zero sense, so I don’t at all believe that’s the message the estate tax is sending or it would even matter if it was. The thing that keeps billionaires from partying isn’t the price tag.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a FOSS alternative to Fusion 360 that is (1) reasonably popular and (2) has a similar feature set?
Theoretically you could, but in practice I don't know that we can reliably determine either of those probabilities with any accuracy. For instance, COVID risk is highly dependent (even for elderly people) on the presence of comorbidities. Are you going to ask everyone on the flight for their medical history?

How's the weather in St. Petersburg?
Right. Most Linux user space software actually subscribes to the Apple philosophy of breaking everything in the name of progress. From what I've read, even GNU rejects binary compatibility concerns because to do otherwise would help proprietary software, sometimes resulting in breakages in vital stuff like glibc.

I'd love that. Would be great if we could even get rid of the C library. Compilers should emit Linux system call code directly.

Can you elaborate on what you foresee happening, and why?
This personal anecdote doesn't really add to this conversation in a constructive way.

But, for sake of argument, it assumes a few things:

1) That your lungs are healthy enough to hold your breath for >= 1 minute (not all are)

2) You actually have the opportunity to breath in a lungful of oxygen-rich air (depending on the situation/timing, this might not be the case)

3) You have your wits about you while a very stressful situation unfolds around you (let's argue that you, personally, are cool and collected under pressure - this; however, is not universally true for all other passengers)
> Also revenue is the most objective way to measure value.

Nonsense. Wikipedia must be worthless for you? What about air? Do you feel you'd breathe with more satisfaction if someone was profiting from the air you breathe?

On the other hand, there's plenty of immensely profitable things that have negative value. Cigarettes? Oil? Weapons? Opioids? I could go on and on.
Both on Ubuntu, but Mint, etc... would probably be fine as well.

I personally wouldn't run Ubuntu for myself, I think it falls into some of the same traps as desktops like Windows where I don't really have complete insight into what packages are running. I run Arch & Manjaro on my own computers. But I'm not the target demographic for distros like Ubuntu.

The big things when I'm setting up a computer for someone else are:

- the distro should be popular enough that software/advice is available for it.

- it should run some kind of user friendly desktop environment (Gnome, etc...)

- it should be stable enough that it's not going to randomly break for them (so I put people on Ubuntu LTS releases, none of these people need the latest and greatest versions of every software package). I do not want their computer to break when I'm not around.

Aside from that, I don't think the distro matters too much, and I think there are a lot of distros that fulfill the above criteria. The big strength of Linux for less technical people is that you need one technical person to set it up once, and then you don't really need to touch it afterwards.

Anecdotal, but over the past few years I've debugged more random Windows issues for people than Linux issues (where random in this case means "I woke up today and my computer didn't work"). I've been hearing multiple issues from people where their Windows laptops just have graphics drivers that stop working one day, or where the HDMI port suddenly doesn't output anything. If I'm handling support for someone else, I basically never want to get a call like that, and I never want to try and debug it remotely.

So Linux means that those calls mostly just go away. I only need to worry about their hardware once. I think my nieces have had maybe one driver issue since I installed their computers -- and they're actively installing proprietary software like Zoom for their schoolwork. My parents never install anything, so a Linux install for them is basically just set it and forget it.
I think it's a win for us too. As long as there is media from every media it's eventually possible to come to the correct conclusion.

Ew. I hope you get nowhere near political power.
I feel that, as industry, we need to move back to the rich, browser-based applications on the mobile phones. Apple-Google duopoly is just not the way to live. As tech community, we can take our power back. I think the good start is to start using web on mobile phones.
Hope you remember to hold your breath moments before an unexpected depressurization.
Where is the quoted text from ("here's a proposal... as we speak")?

> I imagine that people writing airplane control software are probably going to prefer something less powerful that hasn't changed in decades

True, depending on the design assurance level a certified compiler is required.

> I suspect that community simply does not care about safe dynamic allocation

See the reference in my former post. Whether and when the certification authorities accept it is yet another question.

> Is there a user community who would use this, in production ...

It's easy to find projects on Github where dynamic allocation is used; e.g. https://github.com/ghdl/ghdl; with the current developments, such applications may also have a chance for formal verification in the future. And no doubt it would help if the Rust compiler was formally verified as well.
You're not alone. Overwhelmingly the most common reaction when the topic of modern Dropbox comes up, among people who pay attention to it at all, is best summarized as "ugh". I think the only thing keeping people on it is inertia. It hasn't quite gotten annoying/bad enough to be worth the time to switch to something else, but the trend is clear and has shown no signs of reversing.

Even their rebranding to "Dropbox Business" everywhere basically says "individuals and solo/small business people, please do consider leaving, we aren't doing what we started out doing and aren't for you anymore".
I hope that the platform as a whole don't start stuffing ads everywhere, but I'd be shocked if there weren't some monitization plan for Facebook Horizon

Edit: Realized what I was tring to say: Intuitive might be the wrong thing to chase.

Intuitive to who? :)
Trivial programs are trivial.
We might be stuck in the BCPL derived syntax that trade a false notion of intuitive for complexity of implentation and maintenance.
(And I do mean might --- it's not hard not to think incrementally from the languages we know) --- but "inituitive" is EXACTLY the problem: I guess I was arguing we might consider searching for simple and predictable (even if that comes at the cost of slightly higher initial learning?)
> Well you can always ship updates with the old iOS 13 SDK toolchain (Xcode 11) the entire time. You could have tested on the iOS 14 betas, and if you found a crash, you could try to implement a workaround and resubmit in the weeks and months leading up to today.

When I was an iOS developer, this is exactly what I did. Install iOS beta, find any show stopper bugs, fix them in the current SDK and get the bug fix out. Most of the time it was just the beta OS highlighting an existing bug that the current OS ignored.

Once the bugs are fixed, then start adding beta OS features. These features often have to be gated anyway since it's normal to want to support current version -1 or -2.

So yeah, Apple should have given more than a day, but it's not nearly as serious as the hot takes want to make it out to be.
I think the issue would be if you had a plane full of people in body pods, in an emergency deplane scenario all of the pods become obstacles that will end up in random places around the cabin so even if someone is in an aisle seat, they may not be in an aisle seat still if the plane skids off the runway during takeoff and everyone is tossed around a bit.
Would only work if you manage to breath out during depressurization and manage to not instinctively take a breath in the low oxygen environment.
How Is This Free?
Try it. You can go about 30seconds in a calm situation where you know what to expect before the panic overwhelms you.

With a sudden event, you’d have about 15 seconds because there’s a lot to panic about.

Edit: just tried. 25s panic started, 30s my chest was trying to inhale, 36s I had to let myself breathe. This was at my desk while calm and in control.

On a plane I’d probably panic sooner and might be able to go a full minute before actually passing out.

Edit 2: I did use to freedive as a kid and am in very good shape (45 resting heart rate) so maybe that helps
It's pretty remarkable how overwhelmingly intense and yet benign the experience can be.
I've seen this claim and associated study pop up a couple of times. The study is done year on year and it's been amusing watching the increasingly long lengths they go to to hide the fact that their comparing _average_ rent for a _two bedroom_ apartment to the _minimum_ wage.

Anecdotally, this is simply not true. I lived in a fairly nice area next to my university for the better part of the past five years at well below the poverty level. (~$10,000) per year so far less than minimum wage.
um no. The airline is then accepting liability - consider lawsuits from the person's next of kin.
Thanks for the link to confirm what I said. Mexico is ranked 1 better than US for traffic fatalities per capita.

America has such huge clout for setting design standards for vehicles, has very large, very well funded law enforcement departments, a reasonably young average age for registered cars.

If it wanted, it could smash those fatality figures in not much time at all.

What opportunities? Tell me how an average cashier can land an average 150k/year job in a metro area? Don't forget that the said cashier has mediocre intelligence, so-so appearance, zero charisma and little talking skills. He might swap grocery store for an oil change shop, but that's about it. Our society is mostly stratified now, with a little upward mobility left for high-tech workers.
Well, yes.

As since obesity is (a bit) skewed by race, depending on the age group, you'd be looking at disparate impact lawsuits.

Whereas PPE is purely individual choice. I would expect a fair amount of judicial respect for the former, but maybe not the latter.
Think of it like this. 1 million deaths maybe fake but who cares, right? :D and 7 bil. people. That is 0.0142%

I think the current science is that there is very little evidence of significant risk of transmission from surfaces. (3 of those 4 points).

Yet we are still obsessed with surface hygiene. I guess because it's something we can do... but if we spent all the money being spent on surface cleaning on things that actually are more likely to reduce transmission (like, say, ventilation; or even on research to learn more), we'd reduce transmission more.

Those things they are banning they probably have to ban for good reasons of safety etc. But surface hygiene is no substitute.
..from both eventualities!

Blacking out is the correct thing to do.

Not cutting it so that it becomes transparent since this may still preserve the color component of the RGBA-pixels, even if it is invisible and blended with a black background.
I think the concern with the pods is different from large body mass. The pod gets tossed (presumably) in an emergency situation so it can end up somewhere that is blocking someone else from safely evacuating.

It would be less like an obese person than a normal weight person wearing a fat suit which they discard and throw in the aisle if they have to emergency deplane.
