My first reaction was also “this seems like a really bad idea”, but it’s still a cockpit. You’re not going to need cloud access to actually fly the plane.

From the article:

> cloud computing service that gives airlines and business aviation fleet operators the ability to automate their aircraft data acquisition and analysis process for quality assurance, maintenance and health trend monitoring

So, it looks like the “cloud” connections are more for automated data collection and logging data necessary for maintenance. This seems like something perfectly rationale.

But, the look of the cockpit on the other hand… while displaying a lot of information (and looking futuristic), I just hope those aren’t touchscreens. But sadly, from the GUI mock-up, I suspect they are. I just can’t imagine that being a good idea in a cockpit. Especially in a high stress scenario.
I've done some substantial refactoring to a WPF app via Rider. I could at least consistently get a static -preview- of my WPF component/layout but the drag/drop, IDK how to even get it to work. However, at least for WPF the editor was snappy enough (compared to the way VS XAML editor behaves anyway) that I've gotten used to just writing XAML by hand anyway.

You watch too much TV news.

Any argument that appeals to fear and relies on boogeymen is trying to short-circuit the logical, rational parts of your brain. They're trying to make you part of the mob. You would do well to take such arguments and their prophets and burn them with hot coals. Literally tar and feather them and run them out of town.
I’ve just finished reading Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty , and I highly recommend it.

An amazing multi generational history of how the Sacklers inflicted opioids on the US, made a fortune, and got away with no consequence.

It was pretty interesting to read this during pandemic times, and it’s a prime example of how institutions lose legitimacy in the public’s eye. The Sacklers had the FDA in the palm of their hand, as well as the highest reaches of the justice department, as well as large numbers of medical professionals who patients trusted to make decisions that wouldn’t harm them.

What gives me hope? That I can surround myself with people who I can help and who will help me if I need it, not any type of fancy concept or title (Governor Agency, BigCo, professional title etc…).

I wonder what’s being peddled these days as completely safe but survivors will look back on as absolutely foolish.
It’s adding context. I agree with the reply completely, opiates are far from being an outlier in “amazing experiences” for me.
That might be a generalization. Some Amish families also allow their teens to buy gasoline powered cars. I'm sure they come up with a handy excuse for it, but the real reason is it keeps the family together.

My bad. You're right.

The author didn't consider than Jack may have committed suicide by heroin. Considering the rest of his analysis about how grim his life was with no hope of it getting better I think that's a reasonable hypothesis.

check out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IT_consulting_firms

I'm not familiar with how this works in the US, but have seen a similar thing in Australia. IT outsourcing firm wins a contract with some big client (bank, telco, etc) to do some IT work. Fly in their "consultants" to design/build/run the systems from offshore, work them hard, bill them out to the client at some multiple of what they pay their staff. As a consultant, if you're lucky enough to get allocated to a project in a country you want to migrate to, you hope that the contract lasts long enough to let you apply for some kind of skilled worker visa. While you're working on the contract you're only legally able to stay in the country through your employer, so you have very little power to quit or push for a better deal if the working conditions or pay are bad. If you're lucky enough for the contract to run long enough and your visa to remain and work in the country comes through, then you're able to decouple from being a serf of the consulting company and can quit and get a better job with a local company, etc.

Anecdotally you hear of situations where someone is 95% of the way through the process to become a permanent resident of a country, then their employer loses their contract with the big client and everyone is sent back to HQ.
A previous employer had to implement EBCDIC support to interoperate with mainframes just 5 or 6 years ago. Yes, banks are still adding features and new code that runs on their mainframes. IBM still seems to be cranking out new generations of mainframes every few years, so somebody must be paying for this.
How do you edit text files?
For the same reason (virtually?) all absolutism is: it backs itself into a corner from which there is no escape. It discards any pragmatism or nuance.

What I'm evolving toward is a sense of interrelated, and often opposing, rights and obligations around communications.

Free expression, a right to truth, privacy in general, though some obligation for disclosure in public interest or concern, freedoms of and from association or expression, among others.

The benefit to this is that it gives a unified scope for looking at what have been a set of distinct and discrete rights. The disadvantage is that there's no simple or clear guidance, only trade-offs. Though (another benefit) at least those trade-offs are made clear, explicit, and the relationships are established.

I've found a few others thinking along similar lines, with some work out of the Berkman Klein Center (at Harvard) and UC Berkeley, the latter specifically addressing a right to the truth. I can dig up specific names if requested.
I do something similar but different choice of software. There is much more that is possible using this approach (distributing exact same hardware with preinstalled configs to each network particpant). These RPis are gateways. They are gateways to an overlay network controlled by users and not surveilled by "tech" companies trying to sell ad services. I like to imagine them as modern day IMPs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface_Message_Processor

I don’t think measuring thing vs. cars sold is particularly useful.

One way to look at it is this: their P/E is around 330. Their net income grew at 300% last quarter (y/y) and their growth seems to be accelerating. If the price and growth rate was constant, then the P/E ratio would be 82 in just a year. Still high, but not unreasonable for a high growth company.

Okay? I mean that's not why people eat fresh fruits and vegetables.

You can find common produce that has even less nutrients, yet is a widely used staple.

If your goal is protein/aminoacid delivery in an efficient manner, you need milk & meat. Or maybe soybean/pea concentrates if you want to go vegan.

No way around that.

They can hardcode their nonprofit mission into their corporate charter, and many smaller nonprofits do.
I listen to music for at least 3 hours per day. Assuming two minute songs, that’s 2700 songs per month. Since my spotify subscription is $10/month, that’s about 0.3 cents per song. I’m curious if I listen to much more music than average or what. I often hear that spotify is underpaying artists with complaints like “less than a penny for stream” (google says the average is 0.4 cents), but it doesn’t seem like spotify could be taking a huge cut off the top

As the old saw says, those who can do, those can't teach. And this is sadly particularly prevalent in IT, because a competent SWE will make a lot more grinding out code at a FAANG than teaching at a boot camp.
And this possibly wasn't the beginning of tensions at ID/Zenimax about Carmack splitting his time with outside or non-core activities. Before VR there was Armadillo Aerospace and his pre-iPhone interest in mobile games. Carmack claimed that he tried to maintain some level of involvement with ID after quitting as a full-time(ish) employee, but that this was refused. Beyond even that, the spat may have been partly a continuation of ID office-political strife that stretched back to the Quake (1) era.

Then there's a whole other tangled story involving Michael Abrash and his comitatus at Valve, Palmer and the original Oculus guys, Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook, other teams at Valve that also got excited about VR or AR at different stages, and Valve's office politics and internal decision-making.

EDIT: watered down some adverbs.

Ask HN: Scientific/Numerical Coding Job Openings?
I've looked at the job openings portion of HN many times, but don't typically see much from the scientific/algorithms side of things. I see a lot of web/database/backend/UI/ML jobs, and that's about it. I was curious how many people work on more scientific problems and what their software stack looks like and what they do. Is it a one off position, or are there many positions like that at your company?

Pierre Omidyar's Financing of the Facebook “Whistleblower”
https://archive.ph/XddA8
At the heart of the opioid epidemic was a company run by medical doctors, with a sales force targeting medical doctors, and a budget to not only buy themselves positive medical literature but also the government agencies that were supposed to watch out for the public, oh and also they had enough wealth to buy themselves immunity from criminal or financial liability.

I am not sure that the solution is a pharmaceutical product…

And I say this as someone who has been pro-science his whole life. It’s just that training people that a pill will solve their problems is a recipe for creating addicts?
Very cool idea! Too many bugs brought me back down to earth, but regardless I love neat things like this.

I could, but I think it would take considerable effort on my part. You know how it is. You end up with a long tail of little things that don't quite work properly.

Eventually I could get it to work but I'm so upset with Adobe that I'm straight up boycotting their software.

I'm ashamed of this but I've fantasized about berating Adobe executives/engineers to their face if I ever met them in real life. Of course I'd never ever do that but even fantasizing about berating someone felt dirty. That's how much time and sense of security this company has sucked from my life.

I still haven't had to go through the process of cancelling my Creative Cloud subscription. I'm sooo hoping they didn't throw in a bunch of dark patterns in there as well but I have feeling they will.
I started tracking my habits using Daylio 3 years ago and haven't looked back: https://daylio.net/. This combined with reading Atomic Habits has helped me stick to habits I'm trying to form. Basically, set the bar super low. Instead of 10 minute sessions, set it for 30 seconds. If you meditate for 30 seconds in a day, that counts as you meditating. The goal is to get into the habit of being consistent. Increase the duration (if you want) can come later.

It largely gets captured in the mucus barrier in the lungs, but people with COPD or asthma also tend to have poor barrier function (Both mucus and lung liner) so it leaks into the blood stream easier.

That all sounds reasonable to me as a matter of customer-friendly system design, but it's not obvious to me why it would satisfy the court here. If using a customer's properly formatted name is a GDPR requirement, it seems like it'd be required in all cases; GDPR doesn't have any sort of "nbd if it's too hard to comply" clause.
> There is an alternative, make it so that users can intuitively discover features by playing around. I believe Steve Jobs told some pretentious story along that line when he launched the iPad.

And of course the technology hasn't evolved since then. Society hasn't gotten more complex. The problems we're solving are the same. Nothing has changed and people aren't asking for new things and demanding more convenience.

Everything is static.

How to improve Listening score – Tips and tricks
The idea of climbing a corporate ladder doesn't jump out at me personally, but this is definitly something to consider.

My ideal company size is like 2-10 employees. I thought I could just waltz into SV, join a cool early-stage startup, etc etc. Lol. Startups seems even less likely to sponsor than large companies, as they don't have the capital to spare on a bureaucractic process like that. And European tech hubs just don't have the same culture unfortunately. By the time I'm eligible to simply pick and choose startups to join in SV, I'll (hopefully) have too much responsibility to risk like that.

Thanks for the advice anyhow.
It's not that everyone does, but that some kids feel that way and turn to this. I think it's not as much of a problem as the hopelessness.
Well it is definitely more than “metadata”…
I think people experience the euphoria of opiates differently. Anecdotally - i've never found opiates compelling. I appreciate their ability to numb severe pain, but they don't do anything for me as a mental release.
Whereas a good friend is the opposite, he loves the feeling opiates give him and gets quite a kick out of them. He is very careful around them because he understands that he could easily slip into a full blown addiction with them. BTW - this friend has a stable job, a loving wife and 2 kids.

> the closer you get to optimal on your chosen metrics, the more cost is shifted to unmeasured externalities.

This is fiction.

Not a single example is given anywhere in this thread.

But people believe it. And that is from the Environmental Industrial Complex that earns trillions of $ each year keeping suckers in despair.

There are externalities, there are unmeasured externalities and it's a big word (13 letters) so people like using it. Your law will work, just like Jevons paradox which is also fake and almost constantly misused because no one using it outside academia (and also in) understands it.

I would suggest you also name it paradox, that allows people to feel extra clever thinking the future sucks.
> feels like a really dramatic description of opiates. I don’t think most anyone with a moderately stable life is at risk of addiction trying them.

A few years back, perhaps close to a decade ago, there was a fairly well known reporter/journalist who said this same thing. Of course, he was cocky enough to test his presumptions & tried either some form of opiate or heroin, can't recall exactly which. He by all means had a happy and successful life/family.

He ended up getting horribly addicted & there was a good writeup/documentation of everything that happened. I'm having issues finding the article right now though.

Also, anesthesiologists, one of the highest paid, disciplined, and well respected jobs you can get, are also one of the highest risk groups for severe drug addiction.

I think your presumptions are quite incorrect and crass.
Poking around at the case on courtlistener, it does seem that Oculus was added at some point, which eventually became Facebook.
It's not just "sloganeering", it's an attempt to enforce a narrative and crush the opposing narrative. It's coercive.

This is particularly important when you have a grievance culture -- it very much depends who is getting the sympathy. The lens of concern needs to be focused with laserlike narrowness on the approved victims, and not on other victims, and outrage must be focused on approved perpetrators. This is a key part of Chomsky and Herman's propaganda model in Manufacturing Consent

Take the very different coverage of Antifa, BLM and Capitol riots. All three attacked government buildings and two of these were nationwide and resulted in multiple deaths. One of them caused billions of dollars in property damage, mass arson, etc.

But the coverage was very different. No one called the Capital riot "mostly peaceful". If they did, they would no doubt be accused of spreading "misinformation". So to merely call this "sloganeering" is to hide the coercive nature of the misinformation discourse.
He'll do that just as soon as he figures out how to get to orbit.
