We'd probably also want to see separate stats for issues that occur shortly before landing or after takeoff -- stuff that may be more likely to come up with every flight regardless of duration.
The problem is that someone always has to be in charge. If no one is in charge, usually nothing good happens.

So for example, we have Ecosystem A and Ecosystem B, each led by a company. Their users (note: NOT those companies) want an enhanced messaging standard between them. Who should be in charge of it? One of those two, or someone else? WHY would either company be incentivized to do so, since it hypothetically facilitates losing users to the other ecosystem? WHY would a third party come up with the best possible standard between these two (as well as maintaining it!) that they wouldn't then be compensated for?

So when you say "technology should serve the user", who or what "should" do this, and why "should" they do it? For free? You have to find or build the right incentives if you want something to be.

This is the same reason we are still grappling with a single medical records standard/exchange format. No one wants anyone else to be in charge of it, and yet someone must be, otherwise you have dilution of responsibility and perverse incentives.
Maybe Space Cadet style modifiers will make a comeback!

Great way to mess up muscle memory again. The original addition of the windows (or meta, if you're so inclined) key wasn't too bad, as most keyboards had a blank space there. But then people pushed the Fn. And the menu key. And the bottom row became a mess. With some keyboards having Fn>Ctrl>Win>Alt, while others have Ctrl>Fn>Win>Alt, or a permutation without an Fn key.

None of my keyboards have a menu key. And none of my laptop keyboards have a right Win key. There really isn't any room for another garbage key there.

Don't get me started on how the home/end/insert/delete/pgup/pgdown cluster got massacred and merged with the arrow keys. Some keyboard designers really have no respect for the people who actually use their products.
Red Hat does provide all of that to RHEL customers. This is a discussion about what non-RHEL customers get.

Even non-customers are provided with all of the sources they they could use to build RHEL, given some additional effort. It's less trivial than it used to be, but not particularly difficult.

Alma takes the approach of reconstructing RHEL using these public sources, Rocky takes the approach of buying AWS VMs running RHEL for a few minutes at a time so that they can download RHEL sources as a "customer" while only paying a few dollars a month to do so.

The point is, even non-customers can rebuild RHEL using sources made publicly available by Red Hat if they so desire. It's not "effectively closed source", even to them.

CDPR leadership has repeatedly gone on record about their loathing of DRM, so that doesn't surprise me.

They also run GOG, which is mostly DRM-free games. Another major recent title available DRM-free on GOG is Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian.

The common theme for both studios seems to be that they don't use a publisher, which is the likely reason neither add garbage like Denuvo to their games. I feel like DRM/no-DRM might be a good indicator for whether developers or MBAs were in control of a project.

I know this is positioned as a hacking tool, but it seems actually pretty useful. It's pretty easy to lose track of where your keys are used and how you might perform hops. Having that diagram be generated for you really looks useful and can help you navigate this.

I'm sure there are good practices to solve this (and please suggest them, I'm always looking to learn more), but I'm no expert. I do daily drive linux and am terminally terminal, so it wouldn't surprise me if the GUI people are even worse. I think this is a general problem with a lot of terminal based tools, is that there are far higher expectations to read the documentation and less focus on design (and importantly, design that makes sense to someone that isn't you). Totally fine for hacky projects but with something as mature as ssh it seems like we'd have far better tools built in or to exist. I'm sure many do exist, but are they well known? (I'm happy to see any tools if you all have some suggestions)
You are correct. Apologies, prior to seeing your response I had updated my comment stating that, and also found some data.

I don't know why we're still stuck on the Berlin <-> Madrid topic, but I'll bite :-)

I added up the population of all those cities: 6.13 million. The population of Berlin and Madrid alone is 6.86 million, and our theoretical journey would take us through several cities of 1m+ along the way: Cologne, Brussels, Paris... The dense parts of Europe have 500k+ cities basically overlapping.

As someone who grew up in the Midwest, I would absolutely love this theoretical train, but I'm not surprised it doesn't exist (yet)!
Correct me if I'm wrong but I am under the impression that Starship does not use that, the least expensive fuels for rockets are highly CO2 emitting, and the least expensive fuels are what will get rolled out in mass numbers if SpaceX, Blue Origin, and others succeed in building a rocket transportation industry.

I would be ok with people wrecking one's health on the condition that it means they automatically lose any rights to the state's help (health care, housing, any kind of direct cash handouts etc.).

Great investigation and data. While the M3 Pro looked pretty disappointing at first because of the loss in P core count, it looks like the huge strides have been made with the E core performance, so it's not the downgrade that one might think.

I own a 16" M1 Pro for work and a 16" M3 Pro for play, and wow I can really tell a difference in both performance and battery life. It's a nice upgrade.
I feel like you didn't read the article, since your comment doesn't address anything from the article itself.

In this particular case, the engine anti-ice system needs to be turned off within 5 minutes of icing conditions going away. The pilots union has said they are concerned about this. There needs to be a better system than that.

I don't see why game consoles or anything else should be exempt from 'on a computer' rules.

What it boils down to in my opinion, is that you own the device, and the company that built it should be required to give you all the keys to do what you want with it. The ability for companies to technologically lock out what their customers can do with the devices is relatively new, but there are quite a few areas of law that follow this principle of "once you buy it, it's yours, full stop", and I think this is just following along from that.

So I'd like to see general legislation in that direction, that would outlaw all these companies from locking down their devices as a first step. It doesn't have to be super easy, but it absolutely should be possible to run whatever code you want on any device you own.

I think antitrust surrounding these marketplaces is also due, but is much less fundamental and a lot more situational, where it matters less what the definition of 'a computer' is and more who's getting screwed, how badly, and whether competition is possible.
> Also Microsoft did not invent the Super/Meta key aka Windows key

AFAIK the Windows key generates a CTRL + ESC - so not a modifier key like Super/Meta.
(In a now-deleted post, the parent commenter requested citations, and also remembered Apple dragging their feet on TCP/IP support. Here's my reply since I'd already written it.)

A typical response was John Breeden's in The Washington Post: “The iMac has only USB adapters, no SCSI port…non-USB devices can’t be connected. Offices that have SCSI- or parallel-port printers will find the iMac an unsuitable replacement for older Macs. It’s odd, because Apple was a SCSI pioneer.”

It's true that AppleTalk was proprietary, but it was introduced in 1985. It was plug-and-play, amazing for its time, and showed what standards-based networking should aspire to.

Apple's MacTCP was the first OS-level, application-independent TCP/IP stack for personal computers, in 1988 — many years before TCP/IP was mainstream. Apple also shipped TCP/IP support by default in 1994, a year before Microsoft.
>Small drones carrying a load generally have a short range, which could make launching such an attack (and surviving the response) difficult.

I understand why such things are relatively rare, but its always sort of a wonder to me that fixed wing or tilt-rotor drones are not commonly suggested for deliveries of this kind. Obviously the flight plan is necessarily more complex when you have to have take-off and landing phases with horizontal components (which requires more pilot training), and the mechanical complexity of a tilt-rotor affair is substantial, but it seems like significantly improving the range could be a significant win. Are the training and design challenges the limiting factor? Is the maneuverability trade-off too much?

Anybody working in this space able to comment?

>The journey to Mars is similar in relative technical requirements and time-on-ship to the early European colonization of the Americas.

I dunno, this seems a bit doubtful. Water vs no air type of deal. I think going to Mars is a tiiiiiny bit more technical than crossing an ocean, even if a bit over 500 years ago that kind of an ordeal was much more difficult than it is today

But you're not given a choice at all. Look at sd card slots for example... cheap storage expansion, a standard not that long ago, but at one moment in time, pretty much all the flagship phones lost that feature. It wasn't an option, where you could buy a model without an sd card or one with the slot for $20 more, but the slot was gone, and the only phones with sd card slots were either old and shitty or some chinese noname store brand. Same for the headphone jack and user replacable batteries. If you wanted a fast phone with a good camera, you were stuck with either iphones, google nexus/pixel or samsungs (back then also sonys), and none of them have slots or jack ports anymore.

It's not this or another. In autocratic systems you use whatever methods you can – you steal, you copy, you cheat, you buy, you do your own research and you invent. And it's not so much about policy, but about money. Soviets for example did all of that as well, but eventually run out of money for various reasons.
It just runs counter to everything I think I know about capitalism. That all these disruptors and competitors would turn their nose up at a $93bn pile of money. The only other company more profitable that I could find was Saudi Aramco- a state owned petroleum company with all of the protection that that entails. Why is the iPhone so much more profitable (and the moat so much wider) than their other products? It doesn't pass the smell test IMO.
The type system would store it at compile time, while your type would only have it at runtime.
It is a mixed bag, but definitely improving. Some experiences: From Holland, It was impossible to do an online booking a ticket to Italy. Only possible via phone, or as separate legs. For long journeys with changeovers watch out that you don’t get stuck halfway due to a missed connection.
From NL, London, France, Germany is easily reachable, as well as Barcelona. I took a sleeper train to Stockholm last Christmas, we had delays, but made it in time.
In general if you have a long distance leg, it’s best to have it at the start of your journey so you don’t miss it.

Railways do have single points of failure. A single disruption on a key piece of track can disrupt service for hours, even days. This is less of an issue with air travel, there’s usually other airlines, and alternative routes.
They're also far more accustomed to, and better at following, procedures, rules and regulations, because that's the culture they advanced in.

> The government of Ariel Sharon removed any Israel military presence from Gaza way back in 2005

Gaza is still militarily occupied. Israel controls the flow of goods and people, prevents Gazans from leaving the territory, uses violence and collective punishment against the civilian population, and discriminates against Palestinians.

> For decades they fired rockets on Israel civilians

for decades, the people of Gaza have been subject to apartheid. i don't agree with violence but claiming that Israel has the moral high ground here is ridiculous considering that Palestinian civilians have been terrorized since 1948.

> even took over a thousand of hostages including children

"An estimated 10,000 Palestinian children have been held in military detention over the past 20 years, with Save the Children noting that they are "the only children in the world who are systematically prosecuted in military courts.'"

yes, taking children as hostages is horrible. but your focus shows your bias and leads me to believe that you're not arguing in good faith.

> their only hope for freedom is the total and utter destruction of Hamas‘ network of terrorists.

we know this is absolutely false because this ethic cleansing predates the creation of Hamas. Israel was in fact involved in the creation of Hamas and supported it in the early days as a way to prevent the left-wing PLO from taking power.

in short, your "argument" completely ignores history and the context of this conflict.
These are not great comparison numbers. When rockets fly passengers it's ~4 people as compared to ~200 for a plane.

A modern 737 has a max fuel load of almost 30000L of jet fuel [1].

The density of jet fuel is 775-840 g/L [2]. Let's take 800g/L so that we can just multiply the lead numbers - that gives 24,000 kg of fuel.

According to spaceflight101 [3], the Falcon 9 uses 123,570 kg of RP-1 (similar to jet fuel) in the first stage and 32,300 kg of RP-1 in the second stage for a total of 155,870 kg, which is about 6.5x the total fuel load on the 737.

Falcon 9 launched 98 times last year (which includes some Falcon Heavy flights which have more fuel, but I don't think it changes the big picture here).

There are 5000 737's in active service [4]. Most of them are probably flying several times per day, but if we just assume once per day that's 1,825,000 flights. That's almost 3000x the amount of CO2 as produced by all those F9 flights. And that's just 737s.

Just as 100k jet airplane flights per day would have been unimaginable in the ~50s when the jet airliner industry started, I actually can imagine a near future where many more than 10k rockets per day are launched, if the industry has it's way and succeeds in reducing costs dramatically.

Yes, which was rolled out recently, and when these talk to each other it falls back to SMS, there's Messenger/WhatsApp/or whatever people are using today.

That's not the point I'm disagreeing with though, it's just a reminder that the claim that "most people" own an iPhone is delusional. It's just as ridiculous as someone only hanging out with billionaires claiming "most people fly private jets", and it can be healthy to consider the rest of the world from time to time.

I live in Europe and while iPhones aren't uncommon they don't have the status they (seem to) have in the US and most people use Android.

You may have a point with regards to Webkit, however even that is potentially tenuous. The difference that you are missing, and that was addressed is how Microsoft levereged their market postion in the OS market (>85% in the late 1990's) to stop vendors and OEM pre-packaging an alternative browser; USA vs Microsoft was never about IE being bundled - that came later and that was the EU - it was always about how they killed the main competitor to their browser with threats.

Again, that's invalid. "There is no reason room temp superconductors are impossible" is a proposition about reality, that, among all possible knowns and unknowns, there exist no reasons entailing their impossibility. The truth value of this proposition is literally unknown therefore you cannot assert this as if it's true.

My correction was that you should say, "there is no known reason ...", which is instead a proposition about our state of knowledge. This is a correct and accurate claim.
