The PDF has a four sentence summary. The lazy critic did not quite reach the second sentence, which literally prohibits a selection of planes from landing on some airstrips due to a dangerous software bug (the details of the bug, which airstrips, and sort of why, is in the rest of the article — but it's pretty clear the lazy critic didn't make it past the post here).

If they'd read the whole PDF, they might have seen these bits:

"All six display units (DUs) blanked with a selected instrument approach to a runway with a 270-degree true heading, and all six DUs stayed blank until a different runway was selected."

And:

"An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to adoption."

That's pretty serious, and indeed fits exactly with "some Boeing 737s can't land due West."
> This is not true with any other artistic tool.

It is also true for a gun. With a gun, you can make someone write code for you.

Jokes aside, I find it condescending to claim that computers are better for arts than other tools. While a physical paintbrush might be not Turning-complete, it is physical. Restricting all parts of artistic expression to virtual media is, well, restrictive.
But what motive do we have to do that here? In Iraq it was clear - we had oil interests. But why would we lie about this? We don’t need any excuse to go into Ukraine, and we just said we won’t do it.

If anyone has a reason the government would want to lie about this I’m very open to it - but it just doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t see the motive.
Your message is based on a guess "USA government willing to uncover some actions". You can't make anything "clear" to the public without evidence. The only thing it makes clear is that you have interests there.
Government is humans chasing power. Why should I believe the airlines are anymore capable given that’s all they are.

It all turns into a cycle of manipulation to get ahead because that’s how our feudal trade memes work.

I don’t believe any of you are doing anything truly novel and useful; y’all are just playing the Rules of Acquisition.
If N==1 you can make any conclusion. Percentage of programmers I know that are at the same time interested in making art is around 2%. Percentage of artists I know that are interested in software development is even less.

Math, physics, late night debugging sessions, repairing electronics/cars, overall hacking... Is this the skillset of an artist or a programmer?

Painting, playing instruments, creative writing, pottery... Is this the skillset of an artist or a programmer?
That's perfectly reasonable, but Apple lists different brightness capabilities for "sustained" and "peak". I don't think anyone expects their excellent 1600 nits peak brightness to be constantly available, but the 1000 nits sustained brightness is supposed to be, well, sustained.

Perhaps "sustained" is some kind of jargon from the laptop industry but I consider myself to be more educated than the average Joe when it comes to computers and I would've expected a 1000 nits screen based on their advertisements. I don't see what Apple has to gain by either lying or deceptively using jargon like this.

>Why should we give a platform to any random person? Do we no longer care about a persons expertise on the subject?

In 2002 all of the media and the experts said that Saddam Hussain had WMDs and ties to Al-Qaeda and we went to war and hundreds of thousands of innocent people died.

I'm not saying that experts don't exist, I would much rather have the chief surgeon at Harvard perform surgery on me than some random guy off the street. But, the idea that "non-experts" shouldn't be able to you cannot question climate scientists on a large platform gets your right back to the Iraq war situation.

Honestly, I wish people took climate change more seriously, and I wish that people didn't become alcoholics and obese, but that is a tradeoff that exists in a free country.

What rubbish! Let's start with the Ukranians get to decide what goes on in Ukraine. Full stop, Russia is not invited to the decision. That is a nation of independent human beings, not a "buffer zone".

The analogy to an abuser claiming ownership of a battered spouse is becoming incredibly apt.
The ratio between faucet output to bucket hole diameter and wheel friction is almost certainly a major determinant in how chaotic the overall behavior is.

If the buckets drain quickly and the faucet fills them slowly enough (and there is nonzero friction on the wheel axle), you should reach a steady state.

Did they document these values anywhere? I couldn't find them immediately.
An airline is a business - why would a business want to transport a passenger who has a history of criminal misconduct onboard their aircraft? The airlines have a duty to protect their employees, and a duty of care towards other passengers. They also have a rightful interest in running their services on-time and without disruption.

In the US, airlines are common carriers - which involves certain obligations like published pricing and non-discrimination - but that still allows them the right to refuse carriage on reasonable grounds. You can argue what "reasonable grounds" means, but "criminal history of violent or disruptive behavior onboard an aircraft" seems like it's probably going to suffice.
It's clear we aren't acquaintances then
The Dutch-style infrastructure is safer. It's important to mention that earlier bike lanes in the Netherlands weren't initially implemented in their current form; they, too, started out as painted lanes. It's when the roads they were on required resurfacing that they were then properly separated from automotive lanes.
It’s a web3 platform from an actual crypto company with a decent security track record and based in the US.

Feels much safer than open sea which is constantly hacked and I trust more than GameStop who says they are also launching and NFT store.

> My point is that he can do that, and he'd lose most of his reach.

And? If a company spends money building a platform, including infrastructure, they can host whatever they want on it. They also don't need to host what they don't want. It doesn't matter if it's a hosting service or search engine or just a simple directory of links. No one owes anyone else their audience.

You're complaining that people might need to do work to get an audience.
> I know. My point is that he can do that, and he'd lose most of his reach.

Maybe if he was starting out. At this point his audience would follow him. That's not to mention that while he was a "traditional" podcast anyone could just add his RSS feed and listen. Indeed many of his listeners did just that before the Spotify deal. We're not yet at the point where client software is filtering content for us.
To get a sense of the propaganda aspect of this "promised" business you need to ask yourself the question "Why did not the Soviets/Russians accept verbal private promises as the basis for arms control?"

Agreements regarding matters of such strategic gravity are always written down and signed by the involved parties. The expansion of NATO clearly was and remains as strategic a concern (to all parties) whether then or now. Note, for example, Russia's current demand for a "written legally binding response".

So we are either to assume Soviet team (Gorbachev et al.) were either incompetent or assets of the West, or, USSR capitulated and was not in a position to make legal binding demands regarding NATO and had to be satisfied with warm non-binding backroom reassurances.

I think it is the latter, and now, post Soviet Russia (caught between a pincer of Europe and China) believes it has a stronger hand and wants to re-negotiate.
Others saying similar:

> after eight years of facing down one another across about 200 meters of no-man’s land at the line of demarcation, the situation between Ukrainian armed forces and Donbas forces is very tense and volatile, so that it would be very easy for a provocation staged by British or American special forces, who are known to be in the area, to touch off a major conflagration.

No, it does not. Article 2 point 2 covers the exact scenarios in which it does not.
It's not a bluff if you are prepared to go through with it.
I don’t mind diversity in distributions but the diversity should be based on config options and build flags rather than separate package trees and custom patches
I lived in LA from 2016 to 2021. There were improvements made, but as far as I could tell, most of it was in Downtown LA, which is already fairly walkable and the place with the most transit. Outside of Downtown, it's mostly a nightmare. Even within Downtown, I would say progress was fairly slow, but the changes were typically much more involved than simply painting the road. The biggest change was probably on Figueroa Street, though the infrastructure doesn't span much distance, as is the case with most of the improvements.

If you're interested in keeping up with this kind of stuff, Streetsblog is a good resource: https://la.streetsblog.org/
Lack of diversity is a bad thing.

Too much diversity is also a bad thing.

In my opinion, we have too many distributions for not enough people.
Exactly this.

These people are more than welcome to setup a blog and write up their views should they wish but there is an astronomical difference between them posting their views on whatever subject they wish and inviting them onto a podcast listened to by tens of millions as if they are some sort of respected expert in the subject.

Also as I said in my original post this is not just aimed at Rogan's podcast but the media in general. Many times I have seen experts in a subject with decades of experience sat next to a random person from MumsNet or some other online community with anecdotes and nothing more. Yet they are sat side by side, given similar air time to communicate their views as if they are in some way 'equals' on the subject which is misrepresentation.

In no way am I saying the non-expert random person should be silenced but they also should not be given such a wide reaching platform due to laziness of the "news" service to find an actual expert to argue the other side.
Actually, it is more like that than you may think, while not an apples-to-apples comparison. There is neither a right to fly around in the air nor a right to a place to live in the US.

It's only fungible regulation that interferes with an airline's ability to make their own decisions in cases like this.

As a landlord, I can get you out of a building I own at any time (with a court order), unless I have entered into a contract with you, and I am not require to do so.
That’s quite nicely done.

The submission title says "optimal", the README says "beta-optimal", what do they mean in this context and are they true?
I don’t know about reliability but battery life seems about the same or little worse than a Game Gear or Lynx, which also used 6 AA batteries.

Another step into Orwell's new world.

Before, you had parents and the society was providing education to kids.

No, it is like the spirit of the us 'prohibition' extended over the world.

Once we were strong condamnation of China censoring of free speech. No, it looks like that all gov have realized that it is the best way to keep their population under control and their dictatorial views safe.

If you look at the proposed rules, they are so easy to be abused to be used against you even if you do nothing wrong. Same thing as what is happening currently in Honk Kong.

No, everyone has to live under fear of everything that could be used against you. Not very good for free societies.

I'm just surprised that they are so few politics and voters that realize this issue and campaign to save the free speech.
I wouldn't say so. Original sources can be in disagreement with each other, and can be wrong. Without much effort, you can generally find some scholarly article to use as ammunition for whatever argument you want to make, and then find another one to make the opposite case. And of course, increasingly, such articles don't hold up to much scrutiny anyway.
I bike in Chicago year round, and have done so for the past decade. What Chicago has done well:

* Curb and bollard protected bike lanes (Elston and Dearborn are examples)
* Large areas painted green at the front of intersections, giving bikes a dedicated place to stop at the head of traffic.
* Connecting trails and bike lanes to form a network of paths
* Dedicated bike ways like the 606 and the Chicago river flyover
* Adding more lane capacity on the Lake Shore Trail
* The parks district does a great job keeping essential commuting routes on trails clear of snow and maintained
* Continuing to invest in the rollout of Divvy and add more e-bikes to the fleet

That being said, there are still too many sharrows and painted lanes with no buffer zone (getting doored sucks). There are still too many heavy commuting routes like Clark St where the bike lanes disappear in many sections (near the zoo is still awful). Bikes are still very much de-prioritized for cars, especially when there's construction. We've had significant snow the past few weeks and many bike lanes will just be wastelands of ice and slush until the weather gets warm enough for it to melt.

But we have multiple cargo bike and e-bike dealers in the city, and the more families and non-competitive cyclists we get on the road the better things will get. It really helps normalize cycling as a form of essential transportation, instead of being viewed as recreation and sport.
Are TOS censorship?

If Russia does not invade then there's no problem right? That's the point.
I’ve got a /24 that hasn’t had any use at all since about 1998, and in fact is registered to a company that no longer exists, with me as the only point of contact. Nobody has ever come for it. I wouldn’t be overly upset if they did, as I don’t have any use for it, but I’ve never felt like proactively giving it up either.
Then maybe Joe Rogan shouldn’t have sold his podcast for a large pile of money. Because in doing so he let someone else have control over his speech.

If this is a battle you want to fight, I might suggest starting with the book banning efforts by Republicans (the actual government) across many states that’s going on right now.
How is the open web dead? Are you saying that private companies acting in their benefit hurts the open web? You can still create any website or any content you desire who anyone can access. The open web didn’t provide reach by default. That is why directories sprang up followed by search engines. If anything the open web was easier to navigate 25 years ago and heavily reliant on word of mouth.

I'm curious about this myself. I had an initial Zoom call with a guy at Twitch that was very pleasant, and I asked a similar question and he said they're still pretty segregated from Amazon culturally.

At the time it didn't seem like a great fit with his team since they really needed a bunch of people with low-latency streaming video experience, and I didn't have that.

Tech-wise, they're getting somewhat more integrated. He told me about IVS, which is basically Twitch-like streaming video services for anyone on AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/ivs/
Social score is based on the score of your friends and family no matter what your own individual efforts are. Thats what makes it dangerous because it adds strong social pressure to isolate from and report others. The credit score system has no such feature.

Inflation Is a Moral Wrong
These two smug all-knowing above comments aside, how do you actually get charged money for dialling numbers that don't exist?
Some of my best work ever was produced exactly when I went deep and explored the problem space in exhaustive detail and produced an ideal solution after a week -- or five.

You can't plan and iterate on a plan that's forming as you go along -- it's a creative process and that's mostly chaotic by nature. And that's a good thing when doing exploratory work.

I get it, companies want assembly workers but a good chunk of software engineering doesn't fit that mold.

The whole article smells of control mania and micromanagement to me.

--

I agree with some points. Devs are prone to using overly complex solutions and it does pay off huge dividends to bounce ideas with somebody 2-3 times a week just to make sure you're not going down a rabbit hole that won't help the problem you're looking to solve. Sure.

What the author fails to account for is that your average manager and dev team are usually not at all helpful. They want you to solve a big problem but still want it done quickly even if they do absolutely nothing to help you clear up the requirements or familiarize you with previous work. And then get grumpy because predictably you can't do the whole thing quickly.

Well, AT ONE POINT SOMEBODY has to invest the time and effort to untangle the big spaghetti and put it in orderly boxes. Either remove roadblocks for me or get out of the way and let me fight this herd of ducks alone. Grumbling about how not everything fits into your nice Scrum charts is not helping anything.

--

I sympathize with the overall sentiment that we should do our best to iterate and not have work done in one giant step. But that's not possible for some tasks and this has to be respected, not mercilessly micromanaged.
Just wanna mention I'm impressed on how smooth the conference is so far. Crazy to see a fully free conference, organised largely by students with so many parallel tracks going as well as live Q/A and going smooth as butter.

Kudos to the team!
Instead of asking government to have no-fly list, what doesn't each airline have its own list? They are private businesses and should be able to decide their customers, just like customers can refuse to do business with certain companies.
You see quite a bit of mutual backscratching on podcasts as well with some podcasts running guest episodes from other podcasts and so forth. I'm subscribed to far more podcasts than I regularly listen to. Honestly, I don't see discovery as a particular problem. (Standing out from so much material out there can be challenging--but that's got nothing to do with centralized vs. decentralized.)
Why is that your opinion? Don't they exist because of demand for them? Why else would the exist? And why is too much diversity bad? What are the negative consequences here? The only thing I can think of is projects that you favor are lacking resources but if that's the case which ones do you even mean?
Do it man.
Russia already invaded Ukraine and conquered land. Now it's coming back for more using the same tactics they used for Crimea, but with a twist here and there and on larger scale.

No one wants to deal with Russia, have anything to do with Russia, or hear of it at all. No one. They're a nation of misery and nothingness. Would you leave your apartment, right now, go to the slums and start shit with the people over there? The thought that the US is looking for excuses to mess with Russia is insane.

And spending any time on Russia is a wasted time and resources which could have been spent towards more productive things. But if you let Russia run around and conquering this and that will force your hand eventually, at which point the time and resources you have to spent to deal with them would have grown massively.
There are definitely two kinds of bad actors when it comes to scraping/scripting things.

The automated drive by ones trying to spam posts in every form or are probing for word press exploits or what have you.

The ones where someone is specifically taking time out of their day to tailor their attack to your specific page.

The former is easy to deal with the latter is far harder to sort out.

According to the article Delta is asking for a new list, and a list of people convicted of crimes and not merely suspected or something. It's pretty different than the terrorism no-fly list.
I think the US intelligence is correct. Russia is actively crating false flag causes, getting ready to war. They have even blood supplies, and riot control for occupation arriving.

At the same time I think the decision is to attack is not made and probability of large scale attack is maybe 10-30%. President of Ukraine and their defense minister think similarly.

If Russia botches the attack, or resistance and partisan warfare is worse than anticipated, and Russian military is humiliated. The easiest way for authoritarian leader to be toppled is if they screw up war and humiliated military leadership is not sitting idly taking blame.
Were those assurances made to The Soviet Union or the Russian Federation that followed it?
That's a long paragraph, but, as far as I can tell, doesn't contain a shred of the evidence or sources I asked for?

The one concrete detail you mention is 'Yuri Noseko' [Nosenko], who seemingly was a defector imprisoned for three years on suspicion of being a spy and then released. I'm not sure how this substantiates any of your claims. It appears to do the opposite.
