Unless that ship is headed to the Gaza Strip: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_flotilla_raid .
The argument about privacy is a bit of a red-herring IMHO. The audio should be recorded for each flight plan (whether one segment or multiple) in its entirety. The system can automatically delete all recordings finished N or more hours ago on next power up (say 6 hours).

In a crash scenario obviously power will be lost at some point and not return so the data is safe.

In a malfunction scenario standard procedure would be to pull the box before powerup so even if maintenance doesn't get to the plane quickly or the pilot's incident report arrives after a few hours the recording related to it is still present and maintenance can go back and grab it. Or for scenarios where a malfunction beings on the early part of a multi-segment flight plan the data would still be available.

But for pilot privacy the recordings are not held forever. During normal operations the plane will be powered down, eg while parked in-between flights, and when powered up older recordings get truncated.

All telemetry should be streamed to a cloud service in real time. Absolutely no reason not to do that. No one should ever need to "search" for a plane or wonder what happened to it.
How dare they!?
Almost. Every domain (or rather “zone”) has an authoritative name server that maintains the dns records for that zone. When you perform a lookup from your device, it will ask your configured name server (from your ISP or 8.8.8.8 and friends), which will then look up the authoritative server and contact it to resolve the answer and send back the result (which it caches).

You can tell dig to bypass the normal way of things and ask a specific name server instead. This can be useful to bypass caches and debug DNS issues.
Like saying "Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!", post a coin article on HN and I shall appear ;)

A few interesting (perhaps) tidbits of nerdery:

1:

> "But when Dr. Ortega and Ms. Bravo Hualpa bombarded the 1899 coin with X-rays and measured the light it re-emitted, they determined that the dinero was largely made of copper, zinc and nickel.

This sounds extremely fancy (and technically it is), but what you may find surprising is that the technique they used (XRF eg X-Ray Fluorescence analysis) is so useful in the coin/bullion industry that you can buy handheld "XRF guns" that perform a metal composition analysis on the spot and present the readout in a very easy-to-consume way on a small LCD screen. And you can buy them on Amazon!

https://www.amazon.com/XRF/s?k=XRF

(They are not cheap.) But they are ridiculously useful and it feels like a magic trick to point it at a piece of metal and have an instant elemental readout. As you might guess, 99% of this is to check whether a piece of gold/silver is actually gold/silver.

2:

Unlike TFA's example, among US coins there are lots of counterfeits out there that ARE made out of the proper base metal (typically 90% gold, as much US gold coinage is composed).

Why on earth would someone do that? The answer is that in the mid-20th century, many countries (including the US) imposed restrictions on import and export of gold but had exclusions for certain types of currency. So one clever way to transport quantities of foreign gold into the United States was to make sure you were transporting exempted US currency. So many countries developed sophisticated counterfeiting techniques to turn non-US-coinage gold into US-coinage gold. This worked quite well for getting gold into the US but has been a thorn in the side of collectors here for a while, since you might buy a rare US gold coin that's actually truly made of gold and yet is still a counterfeit :(

If you want to see Jeff Lawson in action, you should watch a great talk of him about company culture and values [1]. Even though I'm a programmer and usually don't think too hard about such topics, I can fully relate to his ideas. He's sharing the process of how they arrived at twilio's company values [2], which really are exceptional.

Usually company values are just written down as a checklist somewhere, which you once read and then forget about. But twilio's values are fun to read, think about and easy to follow.

we are building a startup exploration platform
we are solving the problem of limited visibility of startups. let me paint a picture for you —

while scrolling through your social media you accidentally came across an ad or a post of a startup to which you got very excited. then you followed it, and maybe eventually you liked the product and purchased it. but have you ever thought that was accidental and several other startups are building such innovative products and you might not be able to know about them.

now for someone like you who is a startup enthusiast (or is starting a startup), has it ever happened to you that you are interested in a startup and you strongly believe that as soon as it is launched it will blow up the market. but when you launch it on social media no such thing happens!

if you could relate to the above, you would have realized that this is because social media is noisy and startups compete not only with startups, but also fully grown and mature brands, and most importantly, content creators.

well, to solve this we are building a dedicated platform for startup exploration, it would be a place where only startups can create content and people like you and me, i.e. startup enthusiasts can follow along their journey. and since from user-content interaction we will generate a lot of data we process this data and provide analytics to startups for targeted growth (it acts as a tool for startups). we believe if used strategically startups can easily convert our users to their customers!

the platform tackles the challenge of limited visibility for emerging startups. in the current landscape, users discover startups through tv shows or stumble upon them on social media, leaving countless innovative ventures struggling for attention. our dedicated platform revolutionizes startup exploration. we empower emerging startups to showcase their journey through engaging content and offer exclusive analytics tools for their targeted growth. users actively participate in the startup journey and discover new innovative startups. it is a one-of-a-kind fusion of social media, product hunt, and analytics tools. we aim to reshape the startup discovery landscape, ensuring every innovative idea is spotlighted.

how it works:

- startups register and share their journey through posts, polls, and promos, fostering storytelling and trust-building.
- users engage with content, providing feedback, and, if they love the product, potentially making a purchase—resulting in the discovery of new startups.
- user interactions generate valuable data, processed and provided to startups for targeted growth strategies, such as demographics of engaging users.

please let me know your thoughts and feedback!

Maersk added $500-750 USD "season surplus" which is related to this for every shipment from North/South America and Europe to start with [1].

The shipping cost for items that have to go around is about double $1600 to $4000 ish as seen [2].

So the cost is quite a bit extra.

My reply would be pretty much what scottlamb said already. Of course HTTP daemons are nice, but these days they can just reverse proxy an actual HTTP service on a given route instead of using some knock-off protocol like FastCGI; you need a protocol and library either way, so FastCGI isn't an advantage there.
I think we're talking about different scenarios. What I'm considering is a scenario where some type of enforcement authority for illegal fishing is considering whether drones are a good solution. My answer is yes. However, I am aware that no such authority exists at present because the illegal fishing is not actually illegal under any globally recognized laws.

My larger point in the GP is that you don't need to threaten anybody with force to get them to comply with a (hypothetical, future) law or treaty like this. The people doing this fishing are operating businesses, and if you make it costly for them to operate a certain way, they will change how they are operating to become compliant. This occurs all the time in other industries, so I don't see why fishing would be different.

They never claimed their stack was startup-like, just the process. They are likely contrasting it with their usual[0] engineering practices: no focus-grouping, applying for headcount from 3 directors and making a 4-year roadmap after a gaggle of project managers finally agree on what to build. Perhaps its just one decision-maker and bunch if empowered engineers and no red tape - which would be very much be closer to startups, without denying themselves access to humongous datacenters.

Indeed, the FAA has just proposed to start doing that for new aircraft. Same as Europe where this has been put in place for aircraft manufactured from 2021 onwards.

The problem in the US is that there has also been more disciplinary use of the recordings (by the company, not the NTSB). In Europe things are a bit more strictly regulated and there wasn't any resistance to the 25 hour change.

Counter-battery fire is tremendously precedented and always done at standoff. You can also start hitting arms stores, port infrastructure, training and C3 facilities.

The beauty of this is it’s cruelly win-win-win. The Houthis can use the bombing to strengthen their domestic image, maybe even boost recruitment. Iran can piggyback on that. And America can claim it cleared the Strait. As long as everyone stays in their lane (literally), it’s a stable conclusion.
The "natural" UI place for that kind of begging would not be a pop-up, but the head end of the URL bar, where the domain certificate validity is shown. Usually that's also the place where the UI for revoking permissions that are already granted is launched. Assuming the best I suspect that this is already the future plan of browser makers: on both browsers I usr (android chrome and FF on the desktop) hair the begging pop-up point there already, perhaps this is not only done as a hint to the place where the permission can be revoked, but also as training wheels for a less annoying future where the pop-up is replaced with some simple notification state in that place?

Israel and Hezbollah have been in a low-grade state of war for over a decade. If Hezbollah hadn't diverted its energy to the Syrian Civil War, they might by now have been in a state of total war. Hezbollah has units dedicated to infiltrating and attacking targets in Israeli Galilee. My guess is, and I could be wrong, that it probably doesn't make sense to attribute a motive of "dragging the US in" to Israeli strikes on Hezbollah. In many ways, Israeli strikes on Hezbollah are far more ordinary than strikes in Gaza are.

> So I'd rather just have my application speak HTTP over a Unix or IP socket that my frontend webserver proxies to. "Each HTTP-serving lib is another liability" is at least as true for "each FastCGI-serving lib" given that the FastCGI libs will be obscure (less well-tested and maintained) and (due to poorer familiarity/tooling) harder to debug.

True-ish, but complicated a bit because (as far as I can tell) the FastCGI spec is tiny compared to HTTP... even just HTTP 1.1, let alone 2 and (yikes) 3.

You are overthinking it. Some sysadmin copying the same cert into the chain twice because AWS is confusing and doesn’t care and OpenSSL doesn’t care isn’t resolving the grand problem of the trust graph, it’s just a loss overall, for everyone. Nobody wins here.

(Of course the 1.3 approach of throwing a bunch of certificates and then asking to resolve over all of them breaks BearSSL comprehensively)

> If the FAA does not mandate, at least, this from now on, it will just add to the pile of evidence that they are in Boeing's pocket.

It's the pilots' union that is opposing this. I doubt Boeing cares either way. If anything they'd want the extra data.
Indeed. This is how it works in Europe, with a 25 hour recording requirement for aircraft manufactured after 2021.
You mean the rockets that are intercepted? Which civilians have been hit, compared to the tens of thousands in Gaza in a few weeks? Those interceptor rockets cost Israel (and the US) much more than it costs Hamas to manufacture.

It's the same thing. The court just has more procedure around it, but outside the court it's the same thing. If somebody tells you "I saw John dining with Jack's wife last night at the restaurant" then unless you hired a private detective or the restaurant has cameras inside and for some reason is willing to grant you access to the recordings, there's no way for you to verify this claim. However, claiming "there's no evidence that happened" is nonsense - you just heard the evidence, and any reasonable person would conclude you did. Does it make you believe it's true, by itself? That depends, how much do you trust the person who told you that? How much are you sure they aren't mistaken? You seem to be confusing "evidence" with "ultimate proof" - and the Oxford is not doing its best job to set you straight, to be honest - if something makes you believe it's true, it's certainly evidence, but not all evidence will make you instantly believe whatever it suggests it's true - you would need certain quality and quantity of evidence for it to become proof.

What is worse, the media manipulators know that distinction. They do not actually confuse it - they know "without ultimate proof" and "without evidence" are different things. They never use it interchangeably, as it would happen if they, like you, were confusing the two. Instead, they use "no evidence" when they should have said "no ultimate proof" or "evidence, insufficient to make a definite conclusion" - to confuse you and present the matter as if there's actually only one possible conclusion, and you shouldn't even try to inquire about what it's based on, since there's literally nothing - "no evidence" - that you could look at. This is usually false, because if there was truly nothing, there would be little point of them trying to convince you. What they are trying to do is to prevent you from considering the evidence there exists, by falsely claiming "there's no evidence" and thus you should accept the conclusion pre-made for you. It doesn't mean if you consider the evidence you'd necessarily arrive at the opposite conclusion - but they are not willing to take the risk, they do not trust you. You can take that as another piece of evidence for how strong their argument actually is.

It comes from leftist roots in that Nick Land has (or at one point seemed to have; he's principally a shitposter so who knows) a roughly Marxist view of capitalism as a runaway optimization process only incidentally aligned with the interests of human capitalists. In the perfectly efficient world market towards which Marx thought we were heading, even the nominal owners are the "playthings of alien forces"; as profitability descends towards zero, firms that fail to maximize profit simply cease to exist.

They disagree, of course, about what happens next. Marx thinks that this process is ultimately self-defeating, whereas Land thinks that you can actually just eliminate all human agency forever, and also for some reason is on board with that.
