Agreed, but also given they initially thought the aircraft itself was deviating from a stable approach (or at least the ATC transcription appears to suggest that?), perhaps the pilots may have thought the feedback was due to autopilot and not the person sitting next to them.
Now, if you encrypt them in memory, or even better obtain the creds in an audited fashion, use them and clear the memory promptly, it's slightly better.
Just trying to get answers to simple questions. If there aren't any good answers, that is an answer.
I wonder if people are actually going to start acknowledging reality. That would be an incredible improvement.
2 days? I'm like some of the others posters. I regularly get to around 30% after 4 hours so I would guess I would get 6 to 8 hours on a single charge.
> I decided to stop pretending to be a manager.

This is a really valuable advice.

The cult like corporate brain washing often runs so deep that I see people treating their personal relationships like they'd treat work colleagues, or reports. This includes things like "having 1:1s" with their partners, or telling their friends to take "take ownership"
Well, like most "solutions" in the civilized world, laws simply come in to prevent the worst outcome.

Which is that humans would revenge any harm done to their peers. This would lead to disproportionallity and constant "turf wars".

Because of this human nature, we introduce laws to let you know in advance what the rules are, and establish an entire system of people determining the fairness of it all.

So while I am saying that laws are a simple formalization of the general retaliation, risk of retaliation is an inherent incentive for humans not to harm another (laws or no laws).

Compassion and development of empathy are another matter, and evolutionary, they help in getting more people (and animals) on your side, though having animals on your side is not as important as it may have been a few millenia ago.

Empathy towards other beings is an extrapolation of civilisational developments. Basically, showing empathy towards animals signals you would be empathetic to people too, which makes you a more desireable peer today. So, stretching it, it's logical you'd want that for participation in the society.

Another logical explanation is that without developing empathy for animals, majority of the people would not care for the disruption to the ecosystem (since many people are emotional more than rational).

But while there is a logical component to empathy, it's not all logical, just like most of the feelings are. We don't discount love or happiness on rationality grounds either.
Ask HN: Intellectual Humility in the Workplace?
Do modern day FAANG/FAANG-like companies reward intellectual humility or are prideful sociopaths more likely to win at the workplace by creating reality distortion fields?
I'll be honest here, I found this list mostly banal and also not really actionable. I think anyone could generate a similar list with a few Google searches and many of these tips I have seen written by other others and this guy has just re-phrased them. Basically generic self-help.

I think a better option is to choose one particular thing you want to improve in yourself and have a focused plan to work on it. However this takes work and effort that most will never do. Reading a big list of 50 sentences will make zero difference to your life.
There is still something weird going on with the inputs though isn't there?

How could the first officer be confused by the 7° bank angle even though he was the only one flying the descent?
I think you’re right—we’re still on the first generation of Apple computer chips (and honestly I think the performance is still very impressive, even if overpriced), and there is a lot more motivation now on the others. We might start seeing some big improvements.
Depends on the company, I think. Some companies are geographically remote, so that's not quite possible. For others yes, things like WeWork exist although might be a little pricey (but probably worth it!). Or just a warehouse-type location equipped with temporary walls that could be rented too :-)
You’d have to raise them up pretty high to get them colder than the dew point.

The energy it’d take to raise and lower the material would make it cost prohibitive.

I considered that the balloons would be a balancing force but don’t forget the rope length changes as the balloons go up and down. That changing length shifts the weight around. You can’t be balance against it.

Likely the Python-like/Whitespace-sensitive language issue is vastly more polarizing than people suspect. Possibly, if a person was introduced to a certain style with their first language (maybe second), it can become a preference. Then add to that, the compiler is enforcing a certain style, and perhaps a lot of people are being turned off/away.

I can't even count the number times, over the years, I've had the silliest discussions with people about Pascal syntax. Untold numbers of people used to C-like syntax could not get over begin...end, instead of {...}. Then, even in Pascal circles (and other languages), there was the space versus tab or K&R versus Allman style preferences.

It might seem trivial on the surface, but don't think it is. If a person has spent years working with things a certain way, that's what they are comfortable with. Depending on the person, it can take a lot or there has to be very strong incentives to pull them out of their comfort zone. People might look at Nim (or other languages), on just that aspect alone, and not be interested.
Yeah; I'm pretty sure that isn't the case. They don't care if you do work online while visiting, just that you're not looking to stay or to take a local job (that they'd prefer to go to a resident). The legal language may be a little fuzzy since I bet it was written before remote work (telecommuting if it even existed at the time :P) was as much a thing, but I'd challenge anyone to find a case of someone penalized for working for doing their job remotely from another country.

That said, if you're working for a multinational company, you may want to be careful. Being hired in country A, for a company that has presence in both A and B, and then flying and working for a few months in B, could conceivably raise all sorts of flags if noticed.

Note that they are not merely aiming for portability, but efficient portability.

This particular passage is suggestive of their device being more efficient than RO at small scales, although no figures are given for comparison:

> Commercially available portable desalination units typically require high-pressure pumps to push water through filters, which are very difficult to miniaturize without compromising the energy-efficiency of the device, explains Yoon.
My student son put me onto Notability yesterday (I got a new ipad pro). It's pretty cool. He swears by it for all his math and economics lectures.
Must be the way my brain works, but this did not help in the slightest.

having said that, I did test it with an ITIL4 summary copy and paste which is a remarkably dry and boring subject.
I think more importantly the integration with Ethereum network is done by third parties, so even if WOW hooks into eth, your eth assets are worthless without depending on blizzard to maintain that integration. So what was gained?
I do wonder which country would in effet cause troubles to travellers on a tourist visa, contributing to the local economy by renting a temporary home and other living expenses but happen to be working on their laptop every day of their 90 days trip.
Yes, a factor of 5 is fairly close. The prices of panels and inverters has dropped, while the price of labor and wiring has stayed constant or increased. The end result is the factor of 5 that you mention, and DIY systems are becoming more popular.

One of the factors in cheaper solar is that the panels have gotten bigger. Panels grew from 250w to 300, 350, and now to 400w and 450w. The 450w panels are 82 inches by 42 inches, so taller than the average person. Larger panels require less mounting and less labor, so even if they cost more they might be slightly cheaper to install.

I think that utility scale solar will eventually beat residential solar on price because of less labor per watt to install. I sometimes think about a solar system that could be set on top of a house in a few hours and would contain the inverters and interlocks and be wired into a single breaker in the house electrical panel. A truck operator/installer and electrician could do two installs a day and the labor price would be significantly less. We are so far from this currently, with site surveys, permitting processes, individual panels in custom configurations and so on that result in several days of work spread out over months. I don't know if it could ever happen, but it is fun to think about at times.
Maybe read up on trade finance :)
Yeah, that’s the stereotype of the fighter jock or, as someone on HN once put it, „fixed-wing enthusiast“. A man (always), flying with enthusiasm, intuition, not too much alcohol, direct controls etc.

It’s bullshit, of course. The archetype, if it ever existed, has been in decline since 1945 at the latest. Within that time, miles traveled have increased 15-fold, accidents have been reduced by 95 % (for a combined risk reduction of factor 300) while costs have come down by 80 %.

The adrenaline junkie will get bored and kill everyone with carelessness or controlled-flight-into-terrain. Because the total number of exciting situation in your 30 year career is, to a near approximation, zero. A good pilot today is a bureaucrat, meticulously running through checklists day after day.

There was at some point a philosophical split between Airbus and Boeing, the former going for fly-by-wire including automatic modification of pilot inputs etc., while Boeing was culturally invested that archetype of a pilot and preferring more direct controls. The outcome: no discernible difference in the safety records of these supposedly different approaches. Pilots from very different backgrounds? No difference. What matters for safety isn’t character, it’s process. And that’s great because processes scale, natural-born aviators don’t.
I think the most important quotes from Feynman's address are the ones about being fooled, such as this one:

> The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that. After you’ve not fooled yourself, it’s easy not to fool other scientists. You just have to be honest in a conventional way after that. [0]

There are assumptions at the root of all human endeavors. We can't replicate all the experiments ourselves, so we must assume our forebears were on the right track. But there's no good process for fixing science-mistakes, when the science-mistake becomes sacrosanct ("regarded as too important or valuable to be interfered with"). For example, Feynman discusses Millikan's falling oil drop experiment, and how hard it was to replace the Millikan's not-quite-correct-but-published result.

You can have integrity and 'utter honesty' but still be wrong if your starting assumptions are wrong.
> The best people live everywhere, not concentrated in one area.

Meaning that the best people are nomadic because its such a common choice amongst the best people, and would be a common choice among people with a choice. This is the experience they have with recruiting, and the CEO then pretends its because of a diverse pool of people that happen to live in a variety of towns where they stay all the time.

Just helping someone read between the lines!
Canada is one of the exceptions. If I as a Canadian tried to approach CBP with that intention then I wouldn’t be admitted.
> 2. You can move anywhere in the country you work in and your compensation won’t change

> ... Starting in June, we’ll have single pay tiers by country for both salary and equity. If your pay was set using a lower location-based pay tier, you’ll receive an increase in June.

I wonder if an Airbnb employee's pay was set using a higher location-based pay tier, would that be down adjusted, conversely? A single pay tier in U.S. means there are wide pay gaps between San Francisco, California vs. Billings, Montana for the same skill set/job role to be reconciled, correct? It only makes sense to me that they aren't adjusting everyone to the Silicon Valley pay rate in June.

Can someone share lights on how that single pay tier for a country would work?
We all know who this is marketed to.

My hope is the females of the world decide selfies are narcisstic, predictable, and shallow.

They refuse to watch programs like the Kardashians, and selfies will just die out like disco.

I recall similar in function devices already existed for military use - except they made water from air, which is even more available than seawater:

Hey! Maybe we can trade them for some nuclear waste from Fukushima.
It would make more sense to compare systems with similar price points.

In this case that would mean ThreadRipper systems and not Ryzen.
look. in india, when someone wants to "inflate sales", they have to pay "indirect tax" or GST on it. at 18%, it gets VERY expensive to do this thing. say you want to double your sales. fine, the government says. just pay full 18% tax on the new 100% sales, which defeats the entire purpose of this. sure, you can increase expenses all you like and the "income tax" law says as long as an expense is actually incurred and is related to business and is not disallowed by law, it is permitted so you can reduce your incometax by any factor but still.

from this year i think, there is something called "expenditure tax" so in case of a p&l statement, if you increase your expenses to reduce NPBT, you pay MORE expenditure tax and vice versa so even this loophole is now effectively closed.
When they say "may vary", they mean by a fraction of a degree! Astronomers care a lot about precisely accounting for atmospheric refraction because if you want to look at a specific star or whatever, it kind of matters that you point your telescope in exactly the right direction. But for just pointing a solar panel roughly towards the sun, the simplified model from that site should be more than sufficient.
This is a major accessibility issue. Try looking up a recipe using a screen reader.

I think it heavily depends on the kind of work you're doing.

I've used i3wm for the last 4 years, and it's very helpful for when you have a bunch of short-lived windows (like terminals) or you frequently switch between two different sets of windows (like docs/code, or code/web-app).
Even then, I think remote work can be a gain...but companies should be providing stipends/reimbursement for coworking spaces rather than investing in offices. Then the org still has to learn to function remotely, but enables people to connect with others through the social construct of 'work', without most of the downsides, a bunch of new upsides,and missing few of the upsides of being in an office with your actual colleagues.
But the second driver of a tiller truck only steers the rear wheels, more like the pilot of a glider being towed.
I don't know. Have you met my kids?
Not all kids are the same. Assuming the candy bag is big enough tossing a few isn't the worst thing to happen.

I do agree that, as I read this and thought that there's some really nice advice in there this one struck me as slightly off putting.

I can only speak from experience with my own kids and while I try to encourage them and to be respectful there are situations when they need to learn what happens when you cross the line.

I'm not sure people turn out ok if they never experience painful moments and I'm not sure protecting our children from every repercussion is the best way. I'm undecided on this very topic and I certainly try to be positive and encouraging in every situation.
Seems like you're right and I misremembered.
OP did. The original comment was about building your own machine for the cost of a Mac studio.
I think there’s a few problems with this point. It seems to imply that unless animal rights = human rights, then they don’t exist. The second is related to the first, but it commits the perfectionist fallacy. A third point, perhaps related to the first, is animals may not be capable of moral agency in the same way that humans do, so we may have to treat them differently.
Reading the post I was itching to point out XSL style sheets. They're so useful but underutilized. They're not the easiest to write and there's essentially no good tooling around them.
Without armchair parenting: people always say this, but the better parents in my life I have have never ever seen using punishment, only consequences that were clearly communicated ahead of time. And for those parents, looking disappointed or hurt seems to cut their kids like knives without any further punishment needed.

Perl encourages idiomatic programming styles which make collaboration difficult. I'm the eng mgr of a team which writes (among other things) Perl for big data processing applications and none of our programmers understand code the others have written without extensive (measured in weeks rather than days) analysis. I've never encountered the problem to this extent on Java code bases.
I had another idea for steganography in Jpegs specifically. So in Jpeg there is something called the Quantization Table that's responsible for weighting all the AC values in each 8x8 block. When you encode, you divide the DCT values by the corresponding DQT value so a large quantization value has a greater chance of reducing the DCT to 0, allowing us to truncate the high frequencies (we want this). To decode we just multiply by the corresponding quantization value and run the inverse DCT.

But nothing prevents us from putting 0s in the Quantization table. And any pixel put in those values wouldn't contributed to the rasterized image. So we can cut off some of the high frequency bins entirely and then store whatever in them.
People who need this sort of system aren't going to be looking to expand memory capacity in "a few years down the road." They'll be looking to purchase or lease the current model.

Also, if you really need more memory - buy the config with more memory and sell the old config. Resale on macs is usually superb.

I can't remember hearing a friend or gaming buddy say "I upgraded my ram." I haven't upgraded ram in any machine I've owned in twenty years and even before that, it was rare. There was never any point in putting that sort of money into an out of date CPU and memory architecture.

If you owned a trashcan Mac Pro and were a working creative, would you be upgrading its memory this month? Nope...
EnvKey[1] can help with process reloading, and can facilitate both restarts and hot reload updates. (Disclaimer: I’m the founder.)

The pros/cons of environment variables vs. files (or other approaches) is also something I’ve thought about a lot while working on EnvKey.

We use environment variables as a default approach, since it seems to be the most common way to pass secrets/config to a process in the wild and we want to meet people where they’re at. But we also make it easy to use files or system calls instead (I think system calls are actually the most secure.)

One thing it’s always important to remember though in security: if you make the “secure way” too hard, people will route around it, making matters worse in practice. There’s always a balance to be struck.

Honestly, I’m skeptical that threat models where environments are exposed but files are safe are realistic enough to be worth worrying about. At that point, it seems like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

It seems simpler to say “our last line of defense is the OS boundary.” You trust the host and go from there. If the host is breached, you’re screwed in a plethora of ways. There’s no point in sweating the particulars. Just don’t let it happen in the first place!

And when it comes to concerns about leaking the environment to sub-processes, this seems like a deeper problem. Even if you don’t store secrets in the environment, that doesn’t mean it’s safe to just send env vars off wherever. At this point, like it or not, environments are sensitive, because enough people and programs treat them as sensitive that it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. If they might be leaked, then the leak is the security problem in my eyes, not the data in the environment.

Not OP but I‘m using one by Anker that also has a SD card slot and two USB-C type ports with Power Delivery so I can hook up my MacBook to the power outlet and load stuff off of it at the same time if there is no other possibility. I don’t know about HN rules so I‘m not sure if I‘m allowed to link it. The Anker stuff however hasn’t failed me yet, I have some chargers from Anker as well.
Why does this sound so similar to Air France 447[1]? Iirc a major difference between Boeing and airbuses, was specifically the control inputs. In Boeing, the pilot and copilot controls were physically linked. In Airbus, they each fed into the autopilot and were averaged. This horrendous functionality was later deemed a contributing factor in the Air France 447 crash. Did Boeing at some point switch to similar controls as Airbus? (I.e. average pilot and copilot controls?)

P.s.
Tangent: apropos the air france 447 flight, 99% invisible did a solid episode on it some years back, including a bunch of discussion on the terrible HMI:

The whole point of job interviews is to perform discrimination according to some non-protected categories - for example, preferring more competent people over less competent people, more hardworking people over slackers, more reliable people over less reliable people, more experienced people over less experienced people, cheaper people over more expensive people, etc, etc.

It definitely is okay to discriminate over personal attributes, character and previous experiences, and employ the person who you want to work for you - which is not necessarily the same as the person 'most deserving of a job'. Freedom of association is an important right, people should be free to choose whom to deal with, and imposing restrictions on it (like the protected groups) is morally justified as an exception only if required by important reasons, for example, preventing the social harm done by racial discrimination in employment; in the default condition people should be free to refuse to associate with anyone simply because they don't want to.
Chances are, they will melt down and cry/yell instead of improving after throwing that candy. It is not even meaninful, it is making you feel like you got vengeance.

And it is pretty much guaranteed they will try to throw away siblings something is sibling is not doing whatbthey want next time. Kids minic and how you treat then is how they treat other kids in conflict.

Moreover, small kids in car are tied. Literally worst they can do is noise.
Including the 90 day almost anywhere thing. Except for notable exceptions like North Korea, Iran, California, and New York.

The latter two are for tax reasons of course. Still made me chuckle though.
