The aircraft involved appears to be a Boeing 737 Next Generation 737-800. This is the model variant prior to development of the rather notorious 737 MAX.

Mentour Pilot has a webpage tracking information and reporting on the incident. He runs a well-known YouTube channel on aviation matters.

Maybe I should have been clearer, I'm not in support of this "solution" but rather more put off by the counter arguments that CSAM is gonna happen anyway there's no point in even trying to stop it. Or ignoring the victims of this disgusting crime. I'm simply trying to voice their side of this story, to put their perspective. I obviously can't comment on what the police will or won't do on victims behalf.

I value privacy above most things, for example you'll not find me on any social media platforms and the ones you do don't link together. If these people valued their privacy that much they'd not be using Apple devices and services in the first place is my thinking. I'm pretty sure Apple have full access to anything in iCloud which for most users is where all their stuff sits, where's the expectation of privacy?
I had to switch back to Xorg in my Framework laptop mostly because of the screen share, but also because of an issue with the mouse lagging.

The mouse lagging turned out to be a problem with Panel Self Refresh, so I had to disable it:
<https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Ubuntu+21.10+Installation+on...>

Now it's fixed (although I would like to have the PSR back), and I don't think I'll try Wayland until I can get:

1) Google Chrome Teams screen share working or a good, native, official client for Teams

2) Discord screen share (well, I use the Snap version, I should try the Flatpak version)

I would like to use Wayland 24/7, but probably won't get to try it again for a few months

Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat are amazing engineers and this code is (/was?) nice.
Apart from Trump and Brexit.
I agree. Hooks are an awful hack / offer poor user (developer) experience imho.

Whenever you need to have warnings and rules for using things (that require linter verification to make sure developers aren't shooting themselves in the foot with common/regular usage) it's an anti-pattern.

They are far too easy to mess up, especially for something that is meant to be a fundamental part of the library.
No. ProRes is designed to be a good compression scheme for editing. That means it has to be designed in a way that make jumping to arbitrary frames and scrubbing very fast, as well as it needs to focus very hard on near-elimination of compression artifacts.

In comparison compression systems designed for playback, like AV1, can have more occasional key-frames (points that you can easily jump to, then work your way to other frames), and it is more ok to have compression artifacts, especially ones that are just going to look like motion blurs when played back.

So the compromises between features and size of the output stream are different.
Ask HN: Why did Apple create their half-baked Metal insead of using Vulkan?
Why did they decide to create something that only works on Apple instead of using an open standard like Vulkan?
I'm not sure what lessons the rest of the world should have taken from the US's "war on drugs" (or, for that matter, the US's prohibition before it).

... but "If you pass the law that outlaws a wildly-popular behavior, most people will stop that behavior" probably wasn't it. Law can bend behavior on the margins. It just encourages rule-breaking when you try to drive it like a spike through the middle.
Oh the irony of this site itself having a "we use cookies, got it?" banner while lamenting this exact perceived lack of choice. I always laugh a little when I see those anyway, knowing that my browser's settings and privacy extensions are blocking the cookies and tracking connections either way.

Did we consider that if everyone is breaking the law, the law itself might need a rework?
Thanks for clarifying and for the feedback! I think GitLab's current ee directory structure makes a lot of sense too.
This does look really nice, and the author should be proud, however I wanted to make a general comment (which isn't a critism of this website).

If you aim is to help people who want pure text-based interfaces (the blind in particular), this is much worse than a proper HTML page, which they can easily explore by headers. Well-formed HTML is actually one of the most accessible formats, and drawing boxes with CSS (rather than ASCII art) is also much better, as a screen reader would try to read the art, and get confused by boxes next to each other.

> you can declare any ethnicity at any time in Soviet Union.

If you mean the official ethnicity that Soviet people had in their internal passports, this is strictly false. The (in)famous Fifth Field has always been filled based on the parents' ethnicities. If both of one's parents were of one ethnicity (e.g. both are Tatars) then the child receives that ethnicity in their passport. If the parents belonged to two different ethnicities (e.g. a Russian mother and a Tatar father), the child was free to choose one of these two when receiving their first passport at the age of 16.

Maybe. My awareness of it primarily came from this and other tech-minded sites, I'm not exactly sure what the media was saying about it. I understood the privacy protections but still found the features positively horrifying. I stopped using an iPhone and I stopped using iCloud on all devices because of that announcement.
The wiki mentions that the original reference encoder was not optimized, and did not perform well:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1#History

"While still working on the format, the encoder was not targeted for production use and speed optimizations were not prioritized. Consequently, the early version of AV1 was orders of magnitude slower than existing HEVC encoders. Much of the development effort was consequently shifted towards maturing the reference encoder. In March 2019, it was reported that the speed of the reference encoder had improved greatly and within the same order of magnitude as encoders for other common formats."

Other encoders also exist that are much faster, listed in a different section of the wiki.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV1#Software_implementations

I didn't know about Sisvel and the hardware design problems, although Sisvel is in the wiki. The specific license fees that you listed are interesting.

Because it's like calling tents useless because of how much better flats are due to pipes, electricity, insuation and so on. In both cases you are focusing on some metrics while specifically ignoring the usecases where tents/Ethereum can be used in a way flats/pis cannot be.
my experience with scalingo has been really good. they're basically a heroku clone with servers in France and cost about a third less, with great uptime and support.
Yes of course, I didn't mean that we should stick to metrizable spaces.

Though it's intuitive for humans and its limits are quite broad, if I may say :)

Eg. we usually don't start defining the derivative with distributions.

I didn't mention geometry neither btw though it's foundational too imo.
>Puffs of smoke are insufficiently complex to express ideas on the nature of existence

Actually you just need to binary encode your mesage using puffs of smoke, something they are perfectly capable of.

I live in an apartment that uses parking lot style parking and has no electricity running to the spots. Management has been asked before if chargers can be installed and they said “sure, if you pay for it and it stays here when you move”. Not sure why they wanted to keep the chargers, but that’s their rules. So what do I do? Buy an EV and charge it where?

An interpreter omits the target architecture/format question and thus is more portable than a compiler.

Of course, you could compile to a higher-level language, for instance directly to C. But that's usually still a complication that only gives you performance. And performance is something you probably don't need during bootstrapping.
Because codifying any behaviour is explicitly justifying any behaviour, and few engineers want to be responsible for signing off on the feature to run over Grandma.

A workaround thus far has been to abstract the problem into small enough pieces that ARE palatable to sign off on, as your comment shows. "Minimize the number of Grandmas run over" is a different framing than "Should we run over Grandma?".
This was unusually well written.
I had a Next.js project due for an interview and it basically took my entire weekend, even with a working prototype in another framework. The interviewer later on told me that the assignment was his way of experimenting to find out if the company should switch stacks. I told him it was the worst experience I've ever had coding.
I doubt that very much. A lot of the indieweb sites don't bother collecting information about their users so they don't need to show information pop-ups nor worry about GDPR. I know I don't.

I wonder if OneWeb has no other choice. I'm sure executives at SpaceX realize that Starlink would be the superior product and they don't stand to lose that many potential customers to OneWeb. I bet they figure they can make more money from the launch costs than potential impact of competition from OneWeb.

I also wonder if this will end up helping OneWeb. I can't imagine using Soyuz 2.1 rockets is cheaper than paying for reusable Falcon 9's.
Why did you link to a boat anchor?
Starlink is a money cow, but having your competitor rely on you for the most expensive part of the job sounds like a great proposition for SpaceX.

For OneWeb, they just don't have other options anymore.

You should absolutely go to MIT. Consider negotiating more aid as someone else suggested, but even if that doesn't work, this is the best investment you'll ever make. If you want to do research, MIT's UROP program is amazing, and you'll be able to do whatever research you want as an undergrad. I really value my time at MIT - not only from an academic point of view, but also socially. Boston is full of college students, and believe it or not, MIT is actually probably the most socially active school there.
I did some testing yesterday. It used to be if you blocked 17.0.0.0/8 (or a more restrictive subset for OCSP) on your router, it would take ~30 seconds to open a program. It's a lot faster now. The only thing that really leaps out at me is some programs I haven't launched in a long time go through that "Verifying..." step to launch where it calculates checksums.
I enjoyed it. I think the writing style is a good way of relating memories. I've employed a similar style myself when doing so.
Ask HN: Why was it hard to criticize Freedom Fries hysteria while it lasted?
This question is, of course, related to Russia's invasion and the various reactions in so called Western countries.

Recently, the main dairy company of Sweden cancelled Kefir (Russian Yoghurt), with a political explanation that the logo looks similar to the famous church near the Red Square. And there's been a lot of these things lately. When I've talked to friends and acquaintances about it, we can agree that it's a ridiculous thing that doesn't change anything. Yet, in PR, media, and other popularity-based professions, there seems to be a very different arrangement of perspectives and emotions.

In my opinion, this is an era where more people should be exposed to Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" and similar perspectives, but all we get is some sort of synthetic flock mentality.

I was too young to notice all the details in people's behaviour in the post-2001 political climate (and I've never been to the US). Anyone with some interesting perspectives who remembers?
The reality is a lot narrower than you're implying, however:

“We are issuing a spirit-of-the-policy allowance to allow T1 violent speech that would otherwise be removed under the hate speech policy when: (a) targeting Russian soldiers, except prisoners of war, or (b) targeting Russians where it’s clear that the context is the Russian invasion of Ukraine (eg content mentions the invasion, self-defense, etc),”

...

Meta spokesman Joe Osborne previously said the company was “for the time being, making a narrow exception for praise of the Azov regiment strictly in the context of defending Ukraine, or in their role as part of the Ukraine National Guard”.

Specifically the rule change that FB made to allow violent statements against Russians (but not against any other group) is an overstatement that is not factual, because it implies that violent speech toward Russians is generally tolerated on Facebook.
I've been warned by a Sumerologist that the book is idiosyncratic. It does seem to be the only in-print and inexpensive option aimed at amateur scholars.

I think physical attractiveness has always ranked on people's choice in a mate but I think there is a recent phenomenon with the younger generation to only consider physical attractiveness.

Regardless of this recent phenomenon I think younger people generally have always prioritized feelings when choosing a mate. So it may not have strictly been physical attractivenes as measured today but more the holistic cultural attractiveness of the time period.

I do think that parents can make a wiser choice because their feelings have been tempered with time and thus are not as influenced by feelings and this quality of attractiveness. They can take a more detached and logical approach of the qualities that would make a good long-term mate. Of which feelings are a part of it but of all the things that come together for successful bonding personal feelings are among the most malleable things there are.

A person who gives you the butterflies in your stomach and makes you feel attractive this week may not be the same person next week or in 5 years. Because attractiveness is also culturally based it is something that can be learned and relearned. Since this is completely within your own self it is your own power to control and relearn and adapt.

There are many more things that go into the relationship you have no power to control. Such as is the person good and honorable. Because despite what we may want time and time again it's shown people rarely can change their core value system. So if a person is not an honest and honorable person in tiny details it is unlikely that they will ever become that for anyone else. We can only look through recent times and throughout all history where we find people curiously attracted to hotness of abusive people. They continually make the cry but they love me and they'll change for me but how often does that really happen.

These are the qualities that young people are blinded to because of the emotion and the feeling or that hotness as listed here is their primary quality they're looking at. All it takes is someone to look around when a culture has decided what makes something hot or physically attractive you will quickly see the men adapt to that and peacock around as that thing whatever it is. If it's having no job and being a grunge bum but wearing nice clothes that you scammed off someone that's what you'll see a whole lot of. If it's wealth and security of lifestyle you will see men move toward that. It is only the nature of things.
C came out in 1972, but we had Pascal in 1970 which is strongly typed and doesn't have undefined behavior. Pascal wasn't perfect and did have a few issues with use in writing operating systems but Modula-2 and it's descendants were really good. The early versions of the Macintosh System were written in Pascal and used assembly to handle the low level bits Pascal was missing. With Rust we're finally getting back to safe programming. I'm hoping to see other existing and new languages with more safety.
I'd have a lot more patience with this law if it had come with an implementable w3c do-not-track-like signal sites could transparently operate on so it didn't wreck the UX for people who didn't care (or for that matter, people who did!).

How many of the people who misunderstand the technology or methodology actually learned it from some kind of official or primary source, though?

I am sure that many of the existing metal jerry cans might still be in use 50 years in the future from now.

However the cancellation notice for the military standard that was posted above mandated that all military procurement after June 1994 must be done only with plastic cans.

I have been using a couple of traditional jerry cans for several decades, but I have seen the new military plastic cans only in photos. They must be obviously much lighter, but I have no idea if besides this advantage they have disadvantages when compared with the metal cans that they have replaced.
Dismissing cookie notices is just a sign of companies outsourcing the cost of being privacy friendly.

I wonder what is the GDP cost of millions if not billions of people flushing the toilet every day, often multiple times a day.

Government regulation that outsources/hides the cost on consumers and businesses needs additional scrutiny. Did anyone analyze the full cost of these regulations? It must be insanely high.
Handy guide to GDPR for web developers:

* You can't set all your cookies first, then ask permission.

* You can't set all your cookies whether the user accepts them or not.

* You can't tell users to stop using the website if they don't want cookies.

* You can't convince any business owner to follow the above rules.
Much of the writing style was also not really my cup of tea. But still, I was struck by a few bits of the imagery, in particular:

> my dad was swimming in the spirits because he was looking for sunken treasure, or at least looking for something buoyant enough to hold on to, a word or sentence, in the sea of his many dead

It's not entirely clear to me what this means, exactly. But I think that's perhaps the point; it trades clarity of meaning for evocativeness, relying on the reader's imagination to do a lot of the work.
That's the end result of extremely complicated legislation. Everyone breaks it, but you only get caught if you stick out enough.

Uncharitably, it's a way for the government to arbitrarily prosecute anyone they please.
The only way I’ve ever been able to learn a code base is by fixing bugs or implementing features. If I don’t have an immediate goal in mind, nothing actually sticks in my mind. I feel the same about reading most programming books.

"Search Marketplace" is not the text for a button I'm expecting to pricing. After looking further, I resorted to clicking "Search Marketplace" but gave up after it took forever with zero indication that anything was happening so I clicked something else. Something about the first loading of that page takes a lot of time. Since it's faster after the first load, so I'm assuming some large initial download (probably a large JS library???).
