I recommend this video from the channel Wendover Production (a lot of stuff related to transportation and supply vhain), which explains what is actually the plane of tomorrow (or rather the plane of 2050):

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ql0Op1VcELw

Spoilers: It's essentially the same as today. As in, the exact same model. Maybe even the same plane that you flew in already if it's a recent release like the 737 Max.

Before that video I had never thought about the age of the plane I am in, but turns out a lot of the planes I flew in were older than I am.
Looking at how complex Twitter's internal systems appear to be based on Mudge's report [1], I doubt informed developers would dare certify things they do not fully understand. Depends a bit on what entity (system, service, environment) they have to certify.

> In January 2022, Mudge determined and reported to the executive team that (because of poor engineering architecture decisions that preceded Mudge's employment) Twitter had over 300 corporate systems and upwards of 10,000 services that might still be affected, but Twitter was unable to thoroughly assess its exposure to Log4j and did not have capacity, if pressed in a formal investigation, to show to the FTC that the company had properly remediated the problem.

> Mudge knew that the actual underlying data showed that at the end of 2021, 51 % of the ~ 11 thousand full-time employees had privileged access to Twitter's production systems, a 5% increase from the 46% of total employees in February of 2021 that Mudge had shared in his initial findings delivered to the Board in early 2021

Sure. As a general rule the general style of coding using in async-await approaches is primarily about one of two things

The first purpose is allowing more throughput at the expense of per request latency (Typically each request will take longer than with equivalent sync code).

The main scenario where an async version could potentially complete sooner than a sync version is when the the code is able to start multiple async tasks and then await then as a group. For example if your task needs to make 10 http requests, and make those requests sequentially like one would in sync code, it will be slower. If one starts all ten calls and then awaits the results, then you might be able to a speedup on this overall request.

Other main purpose is when working with a UI framework where there is a main thread, and certain operations can only occur on the main thread. Use of async/await pattern helps avoid accidentally blocking the main thread, which can kill application responsiveness. This is why the pattern is used in javascript, and was one of the headline scenarios when C# first introduced this pattern. (The alternative being other methods of asynchrony which typically include use of callbacks, which can make the code harder to develop or understand).

But basically, unless you have UI blocking problems, or are concerned about the number of requests per second you can handle, async-await patterns may be better avoided. It being even more costly in python than it is in some other languages does not really help.
Seems odd to lump in PayPal with Zelle here. PayPal-esk protections are what are being argued for.
Space could be an issue in some places. But there is a LOT of space in the US. And a good number of landfill land is reclaimed afterwards anyway.

Methane is not really related to plastics - if anything the problem is exacerbated by renewables. But landfills could actually be part of the renewables picture here: https://www.epa.gov/lmop/basic-information-about-landfill-ga...

Leachate is also a landfill factor that has been MUCH improved over the last few decades https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leachate

I think people underrate how good modern landfills are. I think you'll find for most plastics, landfills are much less carbon intensive than recycling. And in some categories, they may even be superior to reuse.
Yes, exactly.. this is the end state for crypto rather than a step towards being a normal market that normal people can use
The US Gov pioneered this. It didn’t work very well.
To be fair, we have never been more efficient at extracting carbon from the ground than now. The first 150 years we were terrible compared to today.

30 more years at this rate will double our total CO2 emissions.

We've already created a problem, but a small one compared to what will happen if we don't stop soon.
covid is over. it's been over the day we got something else we are supposed to be agitated about. at this point, it feels like a distant memory. nobody cares or pretends to care about it anymore.

so why shouldn't we go back to the old normal?
If they were really interested in sending a signal they would do something like shut down Amway. A company that is nothing more than a multi-billion dollar "legal" pyramid scheme which preys on the most vulnerable people in society operates with impunity and has for decades now. Literally brainwashes and robs MILLIONS of people on a daily basis.

The FTC, FCC, and SEC are toothless against billionaires. Just like the IRS, they mainly focus on harassing small-time crooks these days because that's the easiest thing to do. The large scale fraudsters operate with absolute impunity. If anything these organizations actually act as a barrier to entry for people looking to get into fraud, because if you don't get big enough fast enough they will come after you. But once you hit a billion in revenue, you are golden.
Hopefully it wouldn't make the well-funded bots more successful.
If you are that makes two of us, my partner just asked me why I shouted "what the hell?!" when I read that.
> “Try to be brutally honest with yourself: is the goal actual innovation? Or is really to appear innovative?” I have asked these questions of many senior executives now, assuring them I am not being glib

This type of reaction eats itself. If you're a person who prioritizes "actual innovation," why are you spending so much time complaining about a fucking logo redesign?

> explaining that these objectives are often in fundamental opposition to one another.

No, they're not. Is Apple innovative? Is Google? Both examples of companies who have demonstrated tremendous amount of investment in design updates over the years. Heck, they even created custom fonts for their blog posts.

I totally understand and appreciate design critiques. Aesthetic opinions are valuable in and of themselves. I even happen to agree with the author that the new Oxford Press logo is worse than their old one. But I have to jump off the wagon when this sort of exaggeration shows up.
Musk Risks ‘Battle Royale’ with Creditors as He Remakes Twitter
"En effet, son rôle n’est pas de rejuger les affaires. Elle juge le droit exclusivement. De ce fait, la Cour de cassation ne s’attache pas aux faits d’un arrêt ou d’un jugement, mais elle vérifie la bonne application de la loi à la décision attaquée. Autrement dit, elle ne se prononce pas sur les litiges, mais seulement sur les décisions qui concernent les litiges." [1]

It only checks that the law was correctly applied, it is not an appeal where the guilt is re-assessed (that's what I meant, obviously not very clearly).

I dream of a simple, cross-platform API for sandboxing. Imagine if forking/spawning a process sandboxed it by default and you had to pass in all resources a la WebAssembly.
I wouldn't be suprised to see ActivityFlow™ or such at AWS, some PAAS activity-pub server that can be connected to lambda, kinesis, etc etc to "add your product to the fediverse - infinately scalable (€0.002 per in- or outbox activity)".

Naturally, that would be a proprietary service. Or a service lifted off github and extended - the patches never streaming back upstream.
Some discussion elsethread[0] suggests that that may only be the case for devices that are encrypted, as the passcode in that case would be part of the key for unlocking the contents.

If that's the case, it's possible that this attack may still work from a fresh boot for unencrypted devices.

Buying a company, firing all the executives and then half the employees is also not very polite or professional.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Revenue of $5bn. Let’s say that you burn half of it down, so you’re making $2.5bn with ads, and $2.5bn with subscriptions. If there 200M DAU, then that means you want to make $12.5/year, per user, for subscriptions.

I don’t see how that would be possible, even under the most wildly optimistic scenarios.
Basically it’s just invest consistently over a long period and for all purposes forget about the money (or at least consider it in your mind to be beyond use).

An index fund is as close as investing gets to a savings account. It’s not a savings account, and will go down if the market does - but the logic is that unless you think it’s the end of the world then it will recover. So you just play the long game and end up retired comfortably (and probably early, depending on when you start and how hard you go at it).

Put the 8% you can reasonably expect into a compound return calculator and it’ll give an idea of what to expect. It’s not clairvoyance though - things (good and bad) will happen along the way and the numbers will adjust accordingly from the guesstimate.
Yes a blended wing would be stiffer, but wing stiffness isn't really relevant here. The wing bending isn't evidence of differential pressure between the two wings, it's only showing that the wings are the part of the plane that's most affected by turbulence while not accounting for the majority of the inertia.

The point is that air currents powerful enough to appreciably affect a large plane are large scale and therefore you're unlikely to have enough differential pressure from one wing to the other to impart much torque.

I'm not certain about this and I'd love to be corrected if I'm wrong.
Awesome, when can I expect to see an alternative to Comcast for high-speed (>=1gbps) internet in the Bay Area? The fact that all of Silicon Valley cannot solve this problem after decades is telling of the power of their monopoly.

Following the links, here's the actual meat of what "unfair methods of competition" means [1, pg 9]:

> There are two key criteria to consider when evaluating whether conduct goes beyond competition on the merits. First, the conduct may be coercive, exploitative, collusive, abusive, deceptive, predatory, or involve the use of economic power of a similar nature. It may also be otherwise restrictive or exclusionary, depending on the circumstances, as discussed below. Second, the conduct must tend to negatively affect competitive conditions. This may include,
for example, conduct that tends to foreclose or impair the opportunities of market participants, reduce competition between rivals, limit choice, or otherwise harm consumers.

> ...the second part of the principle examines whether the respondent’s conduct has a tendency to generate negative consequences; for instance, raising prices, reducing output, limiting choice, lowering quality, reducing innovation, impairing other market participants, or reducing the likelihood of potential or nascent competition.

And selecting from some given examples [taken from pg 13-15]:

> loyalty rebates, tying, bundling, and exclusive dealing arrangements that have the tendency to ripen into violations of the antitrust laws by virtue of industry conditions and the respondent’s position within the industry

> de facto tying, bundling, exclusive dealing, or loyalty rebates that use market power in one market to entrench that power or impede competition in the same or a related market

> using market power in one market to gain a competitive advantage in an adjacent market by, for example, utilizing technological incompatibilities to negatively impact competition in adjacent markets

California is an 'at-will' work state, which means you can both be fired at-will or you can leave a company at-will with zero notice (it goes both ways).
I know, because I've done it (left, that is, with only notice given the day-of). Unless this has changed in the years since I've left CA/the US.

It might be good to have a disincentive for the peripheral window seats. Some also find that feeling of falling / turbulence enjoyable.

Google could not reproduce it the first time so presumably they didnt pay up.
Yeah forcing Ticketmaster and Live Nation to unmerge, divest venues and reselling platforms, and preventing exclusive contracts with venues would be huge. Even in a very conservative interpretation of antitrust law there has clearly been an increase in prices to end consumers.
What is this "accountability" you speak of? How exactly does it work?

I hope you don't think "accountability" means some hill billies storming some offices and then going home having accomplished absolutely nothing, except in some cases going to jail.
I agree, but I think either full on-site or fully remote are both leagues better than partially remote. Partially remote is far worse than either - because now all the in-person tactics exclude the remote folks, and all the remote work tactics are an unnecessary burden to the in-office folks. An all-remote team of heads-down engineers is 99% as good as in-person, if not better, because now all the communication has been written down and recorded.
I would like to access my bank, or my investment account, pay my tax.

However in many cases I can only do that via an app, and apps are only available on iOS or Android. Your argument a based upon me being able to buy something from an alternative manufacturer, yet here we are. And I have to purchase Apple or Android to be able to function in society.

If Apple isn't going to follow open standards yet be the largest phone manufacturer then we are going to have to regulate them. You don't have to be the only company to be a monopoly.
That doesn't make him immune from criticism or being described as authoritarian. A negative view on an employer may not have an immediate impact but medium to long term it can make hiring and retaining difficult, which can drive up costs.
The US has uniquely good protections against abuse by government officials. Things like the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine, explicitly designed to keep prosecutors from overstepping their boundaries, simply don't exist in most of the world. Admissibility is complex and important in the US and basically not a concern outside the US at all, virtually everything is admissible in court. For example, it has been established at the highest level of jurisprudence in the EU that you can torture suspects and you can prosecute them with evidence acquired through their forced confession. That's because at a fundamental level, the prosecutors/court determining the truth far outweighs the right to a fair trial in most of the world. The idea outside the US being that you'll just prosecute investigators and prosecutors who overstep legal boundaries.
Because I prefer to be able to afford to spend six months to a year out of work. It's the same principle as startups working to ensure their runway is as long as feasibly possible.

No, you can generally just quit instantly if you want to. Companies can also fire you instantly (but mass layoffs do have some rules).

There's a general convention of giving two weeks' notice, but it's not a legal requirement.
In the context of the reserach it's helpful to know they were all psychoanalysts. They focus on the human needs we acheive through work that are overlooked from the functional or material needs/outcomes of work.

In a modern context attend means would be more in line with EQ. Being about to sense, contain or facilitate someone scratching the itch of a need. It could be simply to help clarify, to hear, to reassure, to encourage, etc. All situationally specific based on the individuals in the group.
> Water is healthier, but not a substitute.

It can be, if you commit to really reducing your sugar intake. I did it, 20+ years ago, completely giving up soda. My go-to drink for every meal is water, and I drink water throughout the day from a large water bottle. I still consume sugar here and there in food (or the occasional cocktail), but I eat much less of the stuff than I used to. It's hard in the US, where everything has so much sugar, but it's doable.

The less sugar you consume, the less your body/brain will want and need it. It's like an addiction...

If they are willing to learn, and I need a cheap, entry level lawyer, why not?

Show up at office, get paperwork for a lease or a will, pay the lawyer, and move on.

An entry level engineer who doesn't know Linux is fine. An entry level lawyer who doesn't know pacer is fine. You just have to train them and only give them work they can handle with their skill set.

Some of the strongest engineers who walked through my teams started with no practical Linux knowledge, but they had a can do attitude. Give me the inexperienced but driven engineer over the experienced but unmoving engineer 10 out of 10 times.
Ask HN: How can I further secure my Facebook after two hacks?
I've had a takeover of my personal Facebook twice this week. I get email notifications that the person has changed the email to an outlook address (Same one both times), despite their IP being in Vietnam, then Australia, then Bulgaria, so presume a VPN or something.

I had a unique password. It's not on any haveibeenpwned lists.
I had 2FA through Authy.

I had to submit photo ID to facebook to prove it was me and got it back, and am in the process of doing this again.

I'd changed to a new 2fa tool AND switched my password to a new unique one. I checked all apps, posts, messages, and forced sign out of every facebook device that facebook had registered for me back to 2014.

I don't care too much about my personal one, but I do need it as I have access to a few business pages which is more worrisome.

Clearly my previous steps weren't enough. Maybe they have an exploit, maybe I've missed something. In the hope I get back in this time, what else can I turn on to try and increase security?

We should have multiple formats besides HTML. In fact we already do have this, in the “Content-Type” response header, we just should use it more

Send data with Content-Type text/json and Firefox will display a fancy JSON viewer, send data with text/plain and Firefox displays plain text, pdf files, downloadable files, etc. Well, we can add text/markdown where the browser automatically renders markdown files. And when the next HTML replacement comes out we can add that as well.

What about backwards compatibility? We already have that too: webservers can check the User-Agent request header, and return converted data for older browsers. Though we’d need a centralized database or fallback solution to support niche browsers…
