That's incorrect. All planes have a relationship with thrust and pitch based on multiple factors (size, weight, speed, wing configuration, altitude, etc). The aircraft was perfectly sound.

The problem was software designed to alter the flight profile automatically to minimize the differences and new training required (and was allowed to override manual inputs). Any pilot with full training of this specific plane without MCAS would have no problem flying it.

The planes didn't crash because they pitched up but because bad software mistakenly, and forcibly, pitched them down.
I'd bet that would repel more than 50%. Or maybe someone could write some deep fake tools that would help limit attendance.

They are amazing places to visit, but feel like we could preserve parks better if we enforced better self control somehow.

I also wonder how many are inspired to treat the environment better after a visit. Maybe those national park visits are a net positive for the environment.
Not just the autopilot, but if pitch trim has failed then the Speed Trim System is disabled too.

What is Speed Trim?
Well imagine MCAS, but instead of moving the stabiliser near the edge of the flight envelope, it moves the stabiliser all the time (when the speed is below mach 0.68). And instead of being introduced with the 737 Max, it was introduced 35 years ago with the 737 classic.

At least it's mentioned in the manual.

"Small businesses whose core competence is software/networking, or who by coincidence have that expertise in-house, are a tiny niche market."

You have that expertise in house. Having looked at sales numbers and market research for a company that sold internationally and cross-industry: yes, your experience is very unrepresentative.

> even for schools...

Tangent: schools are honestly pretty technically sophisticated! We sold to some of them at Meraki, but they were drawn to us more for labor savings than to compensate for limited expertise. Education customers typically had very few (especially in perpetually-underfunded US primary and secondary schools), but very competent, IT people. They were feature-hungry power users.

In part that's because, even with low employee headcount, they have to provide a surprising level of IT services per student as well. A school with 80 employees and 1000 students probably has the IT workload of a white-collar employer with 500+ headcount.
Is someone interested to build an open source alternative with me? Donation based to cover the server costs.

This article is interestingly promotes kinda flawed communist thinking about 'overperforming losers'.

Most companies make 'reasonable' profits or even losses. You could say normal range for profits is -5% to +10%. When the company is people intensive, it basically means, that revenue is paid in salaries.

For better salaries to be paid, profits must grow first. For profits to grow, existing people must perform better. If profits don't grow, salaries can't follow.

Now when profits grow, we face a decision on how to split the new profits, and it does not always fall on the existing employees. Sometimes profits go into hiring new people, sometimes they go into pockets of the owners. But I have also often seen in my 25 year career, that performers are compensated.

I have also always seen the costs rise, and the costs been mostly salaries. So profits eventually go to the pockets of the employees.

So actually it is good idea for everyone to perform, because if the profit growth stops, salary growth stops as well.

Anyway, my bottom line is that this 'sociopath, clueless, loser' is flawed thinking, but probably something people genuinely believe in just like many people believe that vaccines are bad.

For the algorithmic trading course, Quantopian is perhaps the biggest useful site for beginners. It relies on Python fundamentals.

Algorithmic trading is an offshoot of AI with (at least at first) ML. With a math and science background, AI/ML will be more useful than networking-protocol-heavy cryptocurrency.

Sites like Kaggle are gentler introductions to AI/ML than algorithmic trading, in my opinion. For math and science, Kaggle might look better on a college application.
I was actually thinking that reading the article. You could build yourself a faraday cage around the house, and inside you have wifi and a femtocell. The issue comes when you have balconies / patios / laws that you want connectivity in, but the solution here is to set up wifi access points both inside and outside and you should have full coverage.

A while back, my family living in the countryside of Europe were upset about a cell tower going up right next door. My uncles are a physicist and a microcontroller chip designer respectively, so after trying to fight the build for a while, they worked out at the time that the 50cm distance in the rebar in the house construction would work as a somewhat effective faraday cage for the frequency bands of the tower. I'm not sure if that was actually that effective, and is likely no longer the case, but I do remember having pretty nasty reception indoors in the early days.

These threads have all become the same hellish flamewar, endlessly repeated. That's automatically off topic on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), regardless of how important the underlying story is.

I don't see how this place has any obligation to host flamewars that destroy it, any more than a building has an obligation to let a fire burn it down. On the contrary, we have a duty not to burn down, and need to do more to prevent it. We've been tirelessly asking HN commenters to please not destroy the commons for years, but the users posting in these threads are doing it more, and worse. Tireless asking is clearly insufficient, and from my perspective we could use more flags, not fewer.

Going directly to internet failure mode doesn't help anyone, let alone oppressed peoples. Moreover, if you see as much of this as I do, it becomes painfully obvious what these angry arguments are really about: highly-activated tribal emotion.

don't wanna be overly combative either, and i didn't double-check the math, but that's an awful lot of constraints and assumptions built into that docket.

one i'll question immediately is 12% returns, which is quite high given historical means and a figure you'd expect a reversion to sooner rather than later. you'd also need to have a brokerage/retirement account of some sort and have enough financial literacy to know to invest in the s&p vs the thousands of other options available. you'd also have to be lucky enough not to hit a severe recession/depression too early or at another inopportune time in your life, like while having a serious medical condition.

with that said, yes, you can totally live off of $2000/mo and save $1000/mo (i've done it for a short time) if those stars do line up (like being young, having no kids, and finding $400/mo rent) for some number of months, but i'm not sure it's feasible longer term for most people most of the time. circumstances and people change.

I think it is simply that make is too crufty to extend. It has perma-broken behavior around space handling, which nobody dares touch [1]. But you can't replace it because it is entrenched, so Makefiles must be wrapped, by configure or CMake or whatever. And these in turn have their own cruft, so must be wrapped, by autoconf and...well someone please wrap CMake!

The C and C++ ecosystem is crying out for a new build system, but there is no mechanism to converge on one. It's bad.

There are probably a lot of variables here, for example when I lived in Edinburgh there was a local company that always had job-openings for Perl programmers. I could have applied for it, but never did because their salary was 50% less than anything else local.

Whenever I hear companies struggle with hiring at least a lot of the time the reason is that there are better jobs available in the same city for more money.

Whenever I've been between jobs I've just googled "Sysadmin $location", and tend to find a new position within 2-4 weeks. But if there are five adverts and two of them have low salaries I ignore them.
While typically such actions would annoy me, I would say it seems pretty reasonable in this case.

It seems like it's just doing it's just gracefully degrading from the precise location to imprecise. I do think I tracking free option would be good though.
AWS/GCP/Twilio/etc IoT or almost any other managed IoT service is going to be good for securing devices by only making outbound connections instead of accepting inbound ones. This reduces the attack surface to 'taking over an AWS account', ie. the Ubiquiti hack, which is better than regular IoT devices which have random UPnP-broadcasted open ports and, if they don't have reliable automatic updates, means vulnerability become the next target of a 0.0.0.0/0 network scan.
> "You can write a compiler in a weakly typed language that resembles a compiler in a strongly typed language." Happy now?

Sure, that's a better claim.

> The point, which you have ignored, is that there are strongly typed languages where the features you're relying on are not present.

There sure are! I don't think I was ever trying to say otherwise.

> In fact, this is true of a bunch of the compilers that are among the most widely used in the world--ones that people are using to build projects written in C and C++ and things like the language support baked into IDEs for Java, C#, etc.

Sorry, I'm having trouble parsing this. Are you referring to compilers of C/C++ here, or compilers written in those languages? The architectures of compilers I've worked with that were built in C++ were specifically on my mind when I wrote my comment.

> And let's be real, the original comment... was no more than a drive-by insult.

I think you're maybe reading too much into me here? I didn't write that comment you're referring to. I responded very narrowly to a claim in the light of a common misconception about how type systems factor into software architecture (namely, that they're don't do anything as long as your code is "correct"). I'm picking up a lot of hostility that I don't think I've earned.
I guess this is interesting but it's comparing trash with garbage
That's my point. The engine positioning is not an aerodynamic flaw, it's just a design change that makes the aircraft behave differently than the 737-shaped planes that came before it.
They are impossible to benchmark against each other without making an assumption about how often you want to access the data, and which parts of it you want to access.
but this means Bebop and FlatBuffers can exist side-by-side / solve different problems: what FlatBuffers does makes sense if you want to access only parts of your objects in limited specific ways, what we do is better if you're always interested in the whole packet.
Not many passenger aircraft have a tendency to pitch up to the point of stalling, though.

The trim wheel on the 737 MAX is identical, down to the part number, to the trim wheel on the 737 NG, which has been in service since 1997. The trim wheel on the 737 NG was reduced in diameter by approx 1/8 of an inch compared to the 737 Classic, which has been in service since 1982, in order to give adequate clearance to the “new” CDU (data entry keyboard for the flight management system). Since the trim wheel is around 10” in diameter, a 1/8” change would have a negligible effect on trim forces.
False equivalency and hasty generalization that equivocates every plane as having the same risks when they clearly don't, and ignoring testing and training process improvements. Also, an oversimplification that somehow fundamentals of aviation are shifted as a finite resource over to automation when that's clearly not the case.

737 classics are simpler and reliable.

The NG's randomly have hidden structural weaknesses exposed during runway overruns and hard landings when the fuselage breaks up because of Ducommun and Boeing negligence.

The MAX is a steaming pile that may be a white elephant around Boeing's neck.

The 787 is notoriously-bad.

The 777 is pretty good.

Airbus has had much more automation for years. Are they dropping out of the sky? Maybe they manage their complexity better than Boeing, who hires underpaid engineers to work on things that they're really not qualified to do.
There are still two ways: the C-style for loop and its variants (for initializer; condition; increment) and the range for loop with its variants (iterate by key, by value, or both). There's also the option of writing a recrusive function.

Still less than Java's five (do-while, while, C-style for, range for, recursion), to be fair.
Apparently the new client cores that ARM are announcing for next year (Cortex-A79 and friends) will be Armv9.

Ecoafriq Eshop – Issue #8 Sustainable Summer – The Revolution
You seem to have missed my point and tried to explain the subtext of my argument to me.

The point is that the line for what you are and are not responsible for is a grey and fuzzy one that depends on the context the the decision, the magnitude of the decision, and your own capabilities as an agent.

My point is that the limitations of trying to understand how your words may be interpreted are similarly based in practical considerations.
Putting asphalt roads and hotels in Yellowstone for example isn't really preserving the wilderness. Having hordes of people walk around and cause issues with bears/wolves/other local species isn't really preserving the wilderness. Etc.

In my experience people don't treat national parks with much respect.
I live in Japan, and long ago disabled emergency alerts for earthquakes on my phone... because they trigger whenever somebody closes a door a little too forcefully.

The core rule for any alerting system is to trigger if and only if those-to-be-alerted must take some sort of action. In this case, I was tired, pardon the pun, of being blasted out of a deep slumber at 3am for an earthquake that was so weak I could not feel it.

The only action I needed to take was to try and fall asleep again, which isn't terribly easy after your phone has jacked itself to maximum volume with urgent news of impending doom.

After the fourth time in something like two weeks, that alarm was disabled. It was useless.

Kudos to the designer for the earthquake alarm sound, though. That bit does its job brilliantly -- it instantly grabs your attention without deafening you, and you know exactly what is going on.

The “Unvaccinated” Question
France's military performance in WW I was outstanding. The only way to win was to take massive casualties. They incurred the massive casualties and won. Very few of the world's 193 or so countries will ever be able to summon what we might "collective national will and capacity for sacrifice" (for any purpose) to the degree France did in WW I.

(Russia and the Soviet Union have also performed outstandingly in war, but the French government treats its citizens much better much more consistently than Russia or the Soviet Union ever have.)
