"AeroTime columnist and pilot Captain Michel Treskin commented that the update shows there was no problem with the aircraft but does paint a scene of confusion in the flight deck. "

It shows there is a huge problem with the control systems. Am I the only one who sees it?

It used to be (did it? I am not an engineer) that the controls were hydraulic and connected. So if you tried opposing moves it was immediately apparent. With "fly by wire" not so much.

A good thing the aeroplane landed safely. Others have not

Namespaces on redox are probably what you are looking for. They are incredibly powerful, but difficult to describe. Processes can offer isolated filesystems called "schemes". These are usually at the default namespace (1). Processes can move to the null namespace (0) which disallows them from opening file descriptors from most schemes. Moving to a new namespace allows a process to control the view of the system for all its children. This can be used, for example, to implement chroot.

Syscalls are mostly sync, but with some syscalls for doing blocking operations asynchronously, like on Linux.
Isnt this like the only year that isnt true? Or does this used car premium not apply to luxury vehicles.
Working at System76, I have mostly been developing with those devices in mind.
Very exciting.

As soon as there's a working compiler it might be fun to implement something like gentoo's ports system, would be quite fun to run something like that as an excercise in how far pure rust can get you. :D

>If you move, your compensation won’t change. Starting in June, we’ll have single pay tiers by country for both salary and equity.

I wonder how that will look like in practice, countries differ enormously in required pay for a decent living, especially within the US. Wouldn't states/regions for a few countries work better?
I mean, our agricultural system was highly dependent on fertilizer from Russia. I don't think that it's all price gouging right?
hmmm.... im trying to understand the benefit of secretless broker... if someone compromises thisnwouldnt they have access to all credentials for everything?

now we are just moving from trusting a bunch of distinct services to trusting this single broker... just moving the responsibility of trust to a single point of potential failure no?

Also dont credentials have to be passed to secretless broker? how does it know the application has access to the service? isnt that still at risk of being leaked.

i like the idea of not thinking about secrets but it seems to good to be true.
lol I have accepted this phenomenon, when people reminiscence about simpler times

Hey dang. I have a question too.

Does it really need a 2011 tag?

I thought only blog posts and news articles got year tags. 12FA is guidelines website that is mostly timeless.

What's the criteria for a year tag?

I haven’t read the book, but was wondering if you might be able to answer this: is the general theme that companies are able to do this legal thing of changing practices and use it maliciously?

the question is serious but also - *Clairvoyance limit test )
This is beautiful thank you
Hah! It's actually my 23rd birthday today. I've talked to a quite a few people about this and most seem to think we've been going downhill since at least the early 1990's. Some would point back as far as the 60's.

I picked 1999 since I don't think I've ever talked to someone who chose a later date than that.

Of course, people from 2nd world and 3rd world countries likely have different views.
'Ownership' is also same. For either case, one does not get any extra compensation.

Given all the itunes custom tags I see in RSS feeds of some of the podcasts I listen to I'd say that's a safe bet.

This is all kind of old tech though. Mice, keyboards and printers have been wireless for ages. Yes, I realize there's a gamer population that prefers wired peripherals for the latency, but some gamers only play on CRT monitors for the same reason - it doesn't make them not outdated tech. If I started a new job and they gave me a wired mouse I'd think they hate me.

The storage solutions you listed (thumb drives, hard drives, optical drives) aren't used daily by most people, and are all widely available with USB-C.
What advice can you give the OP?

What questions would you be willing to answer from someone trying to improve a service that you were using--or perhaps even paying for?

How would you like to see them phrased?
> 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 how this will change things for companies like Figma, which allow full remote, but pay remote workers less.
Old people are in the same group, though age is definitely related to unattractiveness.

With many sick people, it's also impossible not to discriminate (although that also correlates heavily to getting old).
It’s a zoom thing, turning do not disturb off made no difference
The best autopsy of Jan Hendrik Schon case is "Plastic Fantastic: How the Biggest Fraud in Physics Shook the Scientific World (2009)", by Eugenie Samuel Reich. It explains a lot of the questions asked in this article, such as "how 16 fraudulent papers could have made it through the peer review process of the two premier science journals in the world".

The thing about the Schon case is this: he might have got away with all of it if it had turned out that such electronic devices made with organic plastic crytals had actually been capable of being created with that era's technology. Imagine a scientist who guesses about the outcome of a particular experiment, but just isn't good enough to get the data - so they engage in fabrication of data, so that they can be 'first to publish' and hence get the credit. Others come along with more skill and essentially replicate the fraudulent results. The original fraudster gets the credit for the discovery.

The actual practical result of that case, by the way, was that now anyone publishing in that field has to submit electron microscopy images with their report as proof that they actually did fabricate some kind of device, rather than just inventing it all. Schon didn't do that, but now everyone has to. That's progress, at least.

As far as this quote: "Sometimes doing the right thing may mean not being completely honest in a larger social setting in order to prevent a great harm."

How does that work out in practice if you're a researcher in an academic department and discover your colleague down the hall is fabricating data in this manner? Most won't say a word, and their rationale is that (1) they'll be in the position of being the whistleblower, with all that entails, and (2) the fallout will make their institution look really bad and might hurt the ability of other researchers in that department to get grants. So it's not implausible that everyone in the department knows of the fraud, but they ignore it for years in the name of 'being good colleagues.'
Again, I don’t disagree. Don’t do it. But clutch your pearls about having kids, buying cars, and going on road trips.

> the root cause of most bad patents is obviously the lack of time patent examiners get.

It takes about 30 seconds to realize that the above patent has zero novelty.

I'm not going to disagree with the patent office being underfunded, but the fact is that whoever granted this patent had a complete lack of critical reasoning skills, and no amount of time was going to help that.

I see this all the time with the patent office. They'll approve any madlib-style patent without thinking about it at all. Any patent of the form "______ wirelessly" gets approved. "________ with a computer" is the other offender. Sure, maybe they reject it on the first pass, but it always makes it through the second pass.

Want to know the truth about how patent approval works? Talk to a patent attorney who files them. Here's some true things about getting your patent accepted:

1. Novelty doesn't matter at all.

2. The lawyer doesn't need to understand anything about the technology to write up the patent. They do need a few of your buzzwords, but that's it.

3. Patents always get rejected the first time, and then if your lawyer is any good they always get accepted the first time.

I've got a fistful of patents myself, and the acceptance of the patent application had no relationship with the inventiveness of the invention.
Could you lay out some of the differences between Zircon and Redox? I know that both are vaguely Plan 9-inspired, but some of the finer details are unclear.

> Were, say, the actions taken against Alan Turing acceptable simply because they were legal at the time

Kind of an odd example to use to defend that “protected classes make people think other discrimination is acceptable” argument, since protected classes didn't exist then and people thought that discrimination was perfectly acceptable.

> I must say, I'm surprised to see you defending prejudice.

As someone bearing down on age seventy I have to tell younger folks these resonate with me. A few are even new to me, like the 4 second rule when meeting people.

The IRS doesn’t write the tax (revenue) code; Congress does. And the tax code is the result of countless lobbyists peddling influence on behalf of their constituents, all of whom are looking for a carve-out of some sort.

People like to use the IRS as a political punching bag and it makes zero sense to me. Their job is to explain the code Congress wrote in terms laypeople can understand, design the forms, collect and process the returns, send notices, and take enforcement actions when cheaters try to flout the law. People who don’t like getting taxed or are frustrated at the complexity of the revenue code should take it up with Congress, not the IRS.

As a side note, it’s also incredibly weird that some very vocal people have a problem with the IRS, yet are staunch defenders of police, even though the IRS has never beaten up or killed a single person for breaking the law.
I've been working like this for the past year and a half. I'll never go back to a "normal" office environment.

Winners in this new paradigm: Owners of real estate in lifestyle towns like Boise, Boulder, etc. I also think borders between the US and Latin America (same/similar time zones) will become a lot more fluid.

Yep, pretty much mandatory in Korea. Everyone goes to professional photographers who apply copious amounts of photoshop, of course.

Exactly. Any mechanism that moves the panel to follow the sun, must be sturdy enough to also withstand high winds, which is inevitably costlier than proof of concept ideas.

Better to add more panels.

A better way to ensure more power output is to have a set of panels with a small battery back to automate cooling of the panels and cleaning of the panels.

I don’t think this will happen as fast as you’d like. There are tons of things in cities tons of people just don’t want to give up, chief among them a stronger network. It’s like the difference between remote learning and being on campus, at an Ivy League school.
Your examples and many in OP’s list are non-actionable non-concrete advice. For example, “take care of health” is non-actionable but “go running one hour after you wake up” is actionable. However, much better advice is not about what to do but what not to do. The absolute golden advice is what everyone is doing but why you shouldn’t in a specific context. This is more akin to a traveler coming out from journey and recounting what he/she considered mistakes.
Oh, I hadn't seen it before. Thanks for pointing it out, there's indeed a lot of great comments there.

Kind of a reach to claim the poster is defending prejudice.

Alan Turing was chemically castrated for being gay. Society finding you conventionally unattractive and thus passing you over for a promotion at work isn't exactly the same thing. People are discriminated against for lots of reasons, many subconscious, but protected categories didn't emerge from a vacuum. The reason being queer is protected whereas being short or ugly isn't has nothing to do with queer people having more power in government (lol) but because there was a history of actual violence, much of which was state-sanctioned, against queer people.

Then again being in a protected category has never really helped me avoid discrimination; having enough money to afford competent legal representation did. I wonder how many Americans can afford that when the majority can't make a $500 emergency expense. I'd argue the poor are the most clearly discriminated against group in our society and clearly there's a history of direct and indirect violence against them on that basis alone, but capitalism requires their existence and so they're invisible to our judicial system.
Ask HN: Which tech founder, company or tool will be remembered in 1,000 years?
What will future generations know about our time?

- How likely are they to know the work of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Elon Musk? Who will be most important to them?

- Will they be most impressed by the fact that we put a helicopter on Mars or the invention of smartphones? Which will be most important in their time?

- Will the tech companies of our generation be remembered and viewed negatively in the same light as monopolies like Standard Oil or colonizing entities like the Dutch East Company? Will the companies of our time be remembered at all?
Weird, but true.
Friends, family, kids, not having all your stuff, cultural and language barriers, etc…

It’s pretty obvious why this doesn’t work for a large portion of people. I am glad for the child free and those who have little need for stuff - but it’s just not… realistic for the rest of us (who are the overwhelming majority of the population). It’s good for that niche 22-28 crowd.
Servo never made it to a place where it could consistently render most websites correctly. People underestimate the amount of work required to get something like that production ready by several orders of magnitude.

Intentionally ignoring prior discussion because I don’t want it to color my response: a lot of this is really empty or reacts to incentives I don’t have, but some of it is very good general advice:

> If you stop to listen to a musician or street performer for more than a minute, you owe them a dollar.

> Courtesy costs nothing

My only note is I’d expand this to generally accepting people how they express themselves and their cares

> Efficiency is highly overrated; Goofing off is highly underrated. Regularly scheduled sabbaths, sabbaticals, vacations, breaks, aimless walks and time off are essential for top performance of any kind. The best work ethic requires a good rest ethic.

Two years into burnout, this x1000.

> Criticize in private, praise in public.

Mostly right on but sometimes public criticism is the only effective tool to right things that are otherwise wrong, or just necessary because the wrong is entirely immovable without public attention.

So will housing costs. The problems facing SF, Seattle, LA will spread to smaller towns. SF, Seattle, LA, will continue to be expensive because people spend $$$$$$ to live there for reasons other than tech jobs. Be careful what you wish for. I live in the Seattle metro, and would live nowhere else in the country, for what its worth.

You already see this happening in rural communities outside of big cities. "Tech-bro" approved towns such as Asheville, Knoxville, Ann Arbor, Twin Cities, etc, etc are getting so expensive the locals can't move. Where I am from in Southwest Michigan has been facing a worsening housing crisis for years.

Luckily for most of the country, the weather isn't as nice as it is on the west coast, so homelessness will probably not explode as much as it has here. On the other hand, you have to deal with shitty weather ;)

I think the reality is that our housing costs and our fuel costs will catch up with Europe's. In this case it sucks because never built out the public transportation capabilities that could facilitate this being as "pleasant" as it is in Europe. So now if you want to visit the rest of your country you're going to have to pony up for fuel.
Yeah, I don't quite know the details of how it works. Just that it does
