The plane doesn't really NEED to use MCAS. Systems like MCAS or Speed Trim and others do not make the planes flyable, they make them predictable. Aerodynamically, even the 747 or the A380 are normal planes operating on the same principles as the tiny Cessna 172, they're just much bigger, fly faster and react a lot slower.

Airliners are packed with systems that make them dull and predictable to fly, because things can break on a sunny day over Texas, but also at midnight in the rain over the Atlantic, and the last thing you want your pilots to care about when they're stressed out, disoriented and working through complicated checklists is whether this particular plane has a weird tendency to pitch up at these particular conditions.

Predicated on their assumption that the flight control laws would prevent a nose-up control input from stalling the aircraft, and not realizing that the aircraft was in alternate law.

Advertising and targeted advertising are not the same. Youtube creators bake in ads relative to the videos (or not) via sponsors and they make more money off that than the ads Google puts in front of the videos.

This isn't really true. If you have an AWS, you need a global god admin. That's the root user. As an IT guy, I have to store those creds somewhere. So I make the password super long and random, store it in lastpass, add 2fa, and add alerting for all logins. It's never used except in the super rare case we have to do something that requires the megagod level privs of the root account (like changing billing to a master account etc)

I mean, if the password manager’s store is compromised, then sure, okay. But if only the application password is compromised then it’s still 2FA since the attacker cannot authenticate with just the password.

This is actually an interesting question.

The western countries are accusing China of fake genocide here, such as suppressing the Uyghur culture, their language, their food, their clothing, even their haircuts.

But yet, H&M is a western brand, that sells jeans and T-shirt, which are western style clothes.

So, if the Uyghurs are buying and wearing H&M clothes, instead of traditional Uyghur clothes, then they are in effect genociding themselves.

So therefore, H&M and the West, are in effect, helping to genocide Uyghur culture.

The funny thing also, is that one of the most famous Chinese actresses right now, is Dilraba Dilmurat, of the Uyghur ethnicity. And she is rising in stardom in the Chinese entertainment world.

So if the Chinese are really trying to genocide the Uyghurs, then I highly doubt they’d let a Uyghur girl rise up too far in their entertainment culture.

Can you imagine the Nazis promoting Jews in their films? That is the analogy here.

This is an official tracing app in several states in Germany, and probably soon in all of Germany.

You're talking about the older Corona Warn App which does similar things (and is generally considered too limited), but without direct data transfer to public health authorities. That's what the Luca app does.

Warn App is more for chance encounters tracking a person meeting other people.

Luca is more for checking in and out of stores and other locations.

Engineering Focus on Ventilator Software
Seems like the vast majority of cases there are personal aircraft not piloted by ATPs. General aviation is what it is. Certainly there are airline pilots that don't recover from stalls successfully (Colgan Air Flight 3407's crew), but there are confounding factors like sleep deprivation. Personally, I worry a lot more about sleep deprivation than particular subsystems of jetliners. You can easily kill two airliners worth of people in a few seconds when you read back "hold short of runway 31R" and then just barel onto it because you're not alert.
You're joking right?

The em size? The thing the article is suggesting is worse than cap height?

> Edit: The way I see 'cap height' is it is some sort of maximum guaranteed value. Now it turns out for English all capitals will have that exact same maximum value.

No, it's not a maximum guaranteed value, it's the height of capital letters. In a Latin font, the ascenders of lower-case letters exceed it.

This is exactly where my difficulty is: some Arabic letters have ascenders and descenders. Depending on the font, it may or may not have a baseline. Letters that don't have ascenders and descenders have a height which I would say corresponds roughly to the x-height. The one thing that I can't see any correspondence to is the height of capital letters!

Well, perhaps it should be? It's a pet-project level of software alright, and it's got a million issues; but I'd argue that dealing with HTTP and HTML at the lowest level is the best way to internalise the foundations of web development.

The app (Luca) that allegedly copied code from the linked one is used officially in some places in Germany (or at least some states/cities bought it, not sure how much actual use there is yet). It is not the main app for contact tracing (CWA).

We have basic gates in circuits and a few fairly solid theories of how to scale, including quantum AI algorithms to accelerate training. Distributed quantum systems running those basic gates have been demonstrated. Basic arithmetic has been demonstrated.

A reasonable prediction is humans will implement quantum computing in 10-20 years, for special purpose data center operations.

A “super intelligent” AI might reasonably do that in 2-5, at which point the quantum ML gains would allow it to enter exponential growth. We could see an AGI go from “mildly smarter than human researchers” to “incomprehensible” in just a few years.

I’m unsure which step in that chain of reasoning you think is inaccurate.

You just said “to be honest”, implied I was uninformed because I disagree with you, then said something concurring with me: Zuse’s work happened a decade before ENIAC (1936 vs 1946). If quantum is at the equivalent of Zuse’s work, AI could suddenly accelerate it and go exponential.

Man, people are really downvoting accurate information just because the truth hurts.
This is not the official contract tracing app (that one can be found here https://github.com/corona-warn-app), its a commercial product that's only been "open sourced" under pressure of the public. Their service was financed be the same public figures that are now heavily pushing for its use.

And as one comment in the linked GitHub issue states, calling their license "open source" is really more of a marketing joke. Although the seem to have changed their restrictive license [1] to the GPL License [2]

Edit: Although its not the official apps, its heavily used by some official instances such as the health departments of some cities/states. The Luca app is financed by those departments purchasing a license. According to news, some licenses cost around 440k€ of taxpayer money [3]

You missed the point which is --- nothing has changed.

Computers are just as dumb as they've always been. They can't grow or reproduce or learn on their own or optimize themselves for survival or expansion. And noone has any idea how to endow them with these capabilities.

We're just waiting and hoping it somehow happens on it's own. This is about as naive as waiting for your car to drive itself. It is just not how the universe works.

If you currently are minimizing your footprint, then this is a larger footprint (bad). If you currently have everything on by default, this is still a larger footprint because it's supplementing everything else, but may eventually replace it with a smaller footprint. Which could be better than the status quo (privacy-wise) but isn't better than turning off third-party cookies and not replacing them with anything.
It's actually quite reasonable if you think about it from a financial perspective.

Company makes game, their intellectual property. Someone else makes a cheat and makes a lot of money destroying their IP, causing them to lose money as players decide the game "has too many cheaters".

Obviously gaming companies do try to employ technical solutions to the problem, but I would guess this outfit got so large simply by being ignored.

> I don't understand how anyone's trying to argue that there are languages that don't have obvious logical top/bottom boundaries (or right/left for vertical scripts) for basing font metrics on.

I don't argue that at all. I agree that Arabic has ascent and descent. I just don't see that Arabic ascent corresponds to Latin cap height (rather than, say, Latin ascent).

> The Newlines report relies heavily on Adrian Zenz' questionable work, often directly, but also indirectly via quoting from news reporting that uses Zenz' work as its primary source

I randomly skim through the citations in the Newlines report. Most of them aren’t related to Adrian Zenz in anyway (random samples: [0][1][2][3][4]). How did you arrive at that this conclusion?

Also, Adrian Zenz has published in peer-reviewed journals about Xinjiang [5]. Can you point me to other peer-reviewed papers (as opposed to anonymous comments on Hacker News or random opinion pieces) that point out mistakes in his work?

And of course, you can watch victims’ testimonies yourself, so you don’t have to trust any other researcher https://shahit.biz/eng/

This guy has been fighting for repair for years. He shows just how wasteful companies like Apple are by always quoting a $700 motherboard instead of fixing common board failures. Yes, macbooks have common component level failure points that apple knows, doesn't fix, and don't want you to be able to fix it.

Independent repair has to take to the underground to operate and provide working class people affordable services.

This is something so very worth getting behind.
If the airplane is slightly out of trim, yes, but it is tiring. If it is grossly out of trim, then it may require full effort with both arms.

Similarly, if the airplane is slightly out of trim, manual trim adjustment is no big deal and does not require a lot of force or attention. If the airplane is grossly out of trim, the air loads can prevent manual movement of the trim wheel. Boeing previously provided guidance in the Quick Reference Handbook to briefly relax elevator control inputs while adjusting trim if this occurs, but that guidance was apparently removed many years ago. Was colloquially referred to as the roller-coaster maneuver, sounds like great fun for the folks in back.

Many histories of American national parks have stressed the tension between parks as preserves and parks as places for enjoyment. This is so even for park histories that might be expected to follow an orthodox view, such as the Ken Burns PBS miniseries "National Parks: America's Best Idea."

Among those discussions, what's interesting to me is that Stephen Mather [1], the first director of the National Park Service and before that a de facto lobbyist within the Wilson administration for national parks, saw little tension between promoting park tourism and better preserving parks from abuse. In fact, his consistent position was that making parks more fun and accessible for ordinary people would in fact lead to more parks and better-protected parks, because awed park visitors would themselves become lobbyists for parks. He actually broke with his friend and former employee Robert Sterling Yard (the ex-PR man for parks mentioned in this piece) precisely on this point - Yard didn't believe that more park visitors were the unalloyed good that Mather was sure they were.

On balance, I do think that Mather was more right than Yard. But for at least about 50 years there has been a realization that the downsides of park tourism are far bigger than Mather would have envisioned.

`ExtensionImages` (second bullet point) seems it would be essentially the same as having a regular Portable Service [1]. I get they needed the field for the system-level sysext service, so they just made it available to every other unit too. But is there any reason to use `ExtensionImages` instead of making a Portable Service?

Edit: I guess if you have multiple services from multiple vendors that nevertheless agree to some common base image, it makes sense for those services to use `ExtensionImages`. Eg multiple services that all require a libglib base image. A Portable Service can expose multiple services from a single disk image, but that's the point - the vendors have to build a single disk image with their services.
