> You being a techie probably configured your home network manually to some degree? It's likely your device(s) are now operating in a semi-manual mode where they don't pick up IPv6 provisioning from the ISP. Sadly, knowing and doing more results in less functionality.

It's a 3rd party wifi router I bought on Amazon or Best Buy or whatever like millions of other people have. It's sitting in front of the ISP's modem which is in bridging mode. So many people have this configuration (or they're doing double-nat, no bridge) and have never configured anything manually.
So what are your thoughts on people who won't take the vaccine because they don't trust pharma companies and the FDA?

Also, what are your thoughts on the EASA and why they haven't banned the Max?

I find it hilarious how many people who mock people who "don't trust the experts" and "do their own research" suddenly engage in the same thing when it comes to other domains. Make no mistake: anti-Maxxers are kinfolk to anti-vaxxers, even if you don't want to admit it.

I'm sketical, there are single digit numbers in service and I would be surprised if 差不多 culture doesn't result in a service record worse than the MAX once we have appreciable flight hours to look at. A lot can happen in 20 years but I can't see myself ever flying an MC-21 or C-919, though I won't fly on a MAX either.
Their planes are just rip-offs straight from Boeing blueprints with even more corners cut.
There is a whole genre of these, starting with (as mentioned in the paper's introduction) "What is Life?" by Schrodinger. I've been idly working my way through a bunch of them, including Monod's "Chance and Necessity" (dated but excellent), Nick Lane's whole series of books (notably "The Vital Question"), Nurse's "What is Life?" (good if you want to learn about yeast), Zimmer's "Life's Edge" (haven't finished it yet, seems good). Honestly, the details change, and the emphasis of each author, but they are all speculative and hand-wavey. Pre-paradigmatic. My favorite quote is from "Life on the Edge" by McFadden and Al-Khalili:

"Biologists cannot even agree on a unique definition of life itself; but that hasn’t stopped them from unraveling aspects of the cell, the double helix, photosynthesis, enzymes and a host of other living phenomena"
Some can't, saying otherwise is just being naive.

There's some good ideas in here but they're hidden behind a combination of confused thinking and intentionally provocative stances e.g.

> Sociologist Elisabeth Shove questions this standard and daringly suggests a controversial pathway for technological design: “…crafting buildings and equipment that do not meet present needs, and that do not deliver equivalent levels of service, but that do enable and sustain much lower-carbon ways of life.” Could engineers design technologies that are oriented away from cultural norms of speed, comfort, and convenience

That's basically the definition of a disruptive innovation. Remember when Linux wasn't good enough for phones/desktop/servers on various vital dimensions but excelled on others?
Perhaps a better phrase to have used would have been "not prior to a complex system" -- as the lump of plutonium exists only because of a complex system doing its thing, it should be considered a consequence of the complex system rather than an alternative.
This was fun to read. It felt conclusive based on the journey. Good teaching
Swapping out for a used display is still possible with a screen. Backlights can also be repaired on a lot of screens. Neither of those repairs would have been impossible with a screen. I've replaced a number of light assemblies for screens in the past. Both of your examples could still happen with screens, it's not inherent to them having little sticks turning around.

Any argument about swapping the parts not being possible due to DRM or gluing the assembly together can also be applied to something with physical dials. And from the sound of it the dealerships are already unhelpful at figuring out the problem aside from complete replacement, so moving to it being screens isn't a change there at all.
it's certainly possible with a modified furby. there could have been a voice recorder placed inside, but that threat seems possible with other toys as well, maybe there was some opportunity due to the popularity of furbys.

in terms of the furby's unmodified hardware capabilities, the microphone was simply used for volume level reaction. reading through the furby's firmware, the mic was used as a peak volume input.
The part where the user is on a line indented by 2, hits return, and gets a line indented by 2+4=6 doesn't sound like soft tabs at 4 to me. And I wouldn't expect hitting backspace to then only remove 1 space (if it actually removed 2 that makes more sense, but is inconsistent with what what it just added). At that point, hitting return and getting a line indented by 8 might make sense but is weird.

Another comment suggests it's using 2 and 4 for different settings and that's causing problems.
"Is the emergence of life an expected phase transition in the evolving universe? (arxiv.org)"

Easily answered:

* We don't know how consciousness comes into being, indeed we can't rigorously define it or unambiguously identify its presence or absence.
* We believe we have it, but we aren't sure whether other animals and/or objects possess it.
* Therefore, based on Occam's razor, we may provisionally assume that all matter possesses some degree of consciousness -- this is the simplest assumption.
* The alternative would be to argue for a consciousness exceptionalism in "life" forms for which there is no evidence and many counterarguments.
* Therefore it follows that ... wait for it ... life is not a special state of matter or energy.
* Therefore the emergence of life doesn't represent a phase transition that confronts physical laws or requires an explanation.
According to the official document that CNIL provided [1] (translated with google translate):

> The company AFL, a simplified joint stock company registered in the trade and companies register on January 3, 2000, is located at 67 boulevard du général Leclerc in Clichy (92110). Its turnover amounted to 1.135 billion euros in 2021, for a net profit of 58.9 million euros.

AFL is Amazon France Logistics. Which seems to be the entity that got fined. So the fine is more than 50% of their (the logistics part of Amazon in France) net profit.

Surely stock price is directly linked to demand from airlines, and airlines are successful because of customer confidence, convenience, and price. If an airline bails on Boeing because customers refuse to fly Boeing fleets, then damage control/stock price is an abstraction of passenger's requirements.
> government cannot allow it to fail, and if Boeing looks bad, the government looks bad

This is a myth. GM and Chrysler are also strategically important firms. They were allowed to look bad. And while they were bailed out, it was done so through bankruptcy.

Boeing's garbage is at least partially a direct result of Southwest being unwilling to accept a change in type rating for the new 737.
Not my intention to toss science out the window.

Why don‘t they scale up? They seem to have all the regulatory capabilities to get a commercial jet on the market already. I also never understood why e.g. China doesnm‘t just buy Embraer (or take over all their employees) and builds out from a functioning product?

Potentially crystals as well. While we don't typically consider them part of "biology" there are some good arguments for including them as a form of life.

This whole fiasco represents a leadership f$&* up of existential scale. A lot of this started when Boeing moved its HQ away from a core production hub. Leaders tucked way in offices make a lot worse decisions than leaders close to the literal nuts and bolts of a company.

Boeing’s reputation was on the quality of its engineering and production. “If it ain’t Boeing I ain’t going” was a real phrase. The current Boeing leadership has turned the company’s image of quality into the punchline of bad jokes. The only viable fix is a serious reset and sacking of most of the senior ranks to bring leadership back that understands the difference between short term profit and long term gain. This has all been sad to watch, but the flying public deserves better.
Can they ramp up production?
That's not an answer, that's an argument. Occam's Razor isn't like the second law of thermodynamics. It's a heuristic.
In my case I run a double NAT. I don't consider the subnet which the ISP's router offers to me as something belonging to me, but something the ISP owns. In that subnet I have one honeypot (old Raspi) and a router which treats that subnet as the internet and offers me my own subnet which I call home.

I don't care what the ISP does with the router it provides to me. If it uses IPv6 or whatever. In my case their router will only see another device which is only capable of using IPv4, so it better deal with it.

> A lot of kids who pick on "different" kids are actually acting abnormally – not descriptively, but prescriptively, as in disobeying authority figures (teachers, administrators, parents, etc) who have told them quite explicitly not to do that

Maybe, but much more likely you have the cause and effect reversed, and the authority figures told them because that is something kids have a propensity to do (i.e., if they weren't likely to do it, why would they be told not to?)
There's some slight overlap for the Max 7.

- the average 737 MAX 7 aircraft would typically carry between 138 and 153 passengers, range 3,850nm.

- Embraer 195-E2 carries between 120 and 146 passengers, range 2600nm

I love debating this with people but ultimately it's just playing games with semantics. The notion of artificial x natural is very recent and very localized.

>Samsung should get the memory card slot back.

They still have models with SD card slots, but they're never coming back to flagships because:

1. so they can milk you on cloud storage or on the expensive variants with more storage

2. access speed difference of UFS 4.0 vs fast SD cards is huge and unacceptable on a flagship that's supposed to compete with iPhones on speed

3. biggest and most important reason I learned from the horses mouth, people used to put the cheapest junkiest "value" SD cards off Amazon in them, which would be slow and negatively impact UX, and would also spontaneously die, taking the customers photos with them, so then the angry customers would blame the phone for both issues("your damn phone ate my photos/sd-card!"), so they had remove it to ensure UX and reliability across the board
Absolutely.

Is there a portion of my comment that indicated otherwise? I can still edit it for clarity (I thought that wasn't allowed after a reply occurred)
> These same feelings extend to other proprietary config languages like HCL for Terraform, ASL for AWS Step Functions, etc. It's fine that you want a declarative API, but let me generate my declaration programatically.

Yeah, I've had the same sort of opinion since the bad old AWS CloudFormation days. I wrote an experimental CloudFormation generator 4 years ago where all of the resources and Python type hints were generated from a JSON file that AWS published and it worked really well (https://github.com/weberc2/nimbus/blob/master/examples/src/n...).

> Config declared in and generated by code has been a superior experience. It's one of the things that AWS CDK got absolutely right.

Is that how CDK works? I've only dabbled with it, but it was pretty far from the "generate cloudformation" experience that I had built; I guess I never "saw the light" for CDK. It felt like trading YAML/templating problems for inheritance/magic problems. I'd really like to hear from more people who have used AWS CDK, Terraform's CDK, and/or Pulumi.
It is much simpler than hiring an employee or even a contractor in US - through B2B contract. Basically, you buy services from them. They send invoices e.g. at the end of the month, you do regular bank transfers (or any other legit way of money transfer). Since the contractors are outside US, you don't even have a burden of proof that they are not employees but real contractors.
Config-as-code is this strange nightmare made for non- programmers to trick them into writing extractable formal logic.
I don't either. -hell, since I found out that "set -o emacs" gives me history and autocompletion I go even further and usually only use /bin/sh on NetBSD.

I'm not sure what the use case for zsh and fish are, but I'm guessing it's different than mine.

(edit/update: apparently, judging by a quicky netbsd 10 vm install, you don't even need to explicitly "set -o emacs". /bin/sh does it by default)
Yes, the spires on top of rationally justified buildings is showing off.

In OKC, it's not just the spire but the entire building that is about showing off. The rationale is missing --- which is why I doubt it will ever be built as proposed.

I might be missing something, but how did they manage to swing this? I thought proprietary NDAs around the Switch's API were the biggest holdups preventing Switch support from being added to Godot itself.

I would have assumed this would be free but would require signing some kind of source-available license that forced you to still respect the NDAs.
also the networking is a small fraction of the area so you naturally expect it to have fewer defects
My current intuition goes something like this:

Energy MUST flow. No matter how energy is captured and stored, there is a pressure for it to continue moving.

The movement of energy means that matter is always moving, and new configurations are always being "discovered."

Some configurations allow for energy to flow more easily, and when one of those configurations is "discovered" the movement of energy keeps that configuration in place. I think it's literally a strange attractor from chaos theory.

Areas of stable energy flow create correlations across space time that allow for more complex correlations to emerge.
> The other replies you've gotten are inaccurate and about 15+ years out of date in thinking about protein structure.

I do not believe the case, speaking as one of the others replies, and having reviewed the others. But since you do, could I request the extra work of some pointers to the inaccuracies?

NMR-driven descriptions of protein structure flexibility are far more than 15 years old, and common in all graduate bio courses since the 90s, so if I'm perpetuating some sort of inaccuracy I'd really like to know so I can stop.
> and downvote the "in mice" comments

Since we're getting meta, there's often a lot of complaints about HN changing and "becoming more like reddit." So I just want to remind people that a thing you can do is to downvote low quality comments. People that simply leave jokes, comments that are more masturbatory in nature, and especially naive comments. And if anything looks bad faith, downvote and move on. Hell, I'll even downvote comments that make me laugh or even some I agree with if I don't feel like they contribute to the conversation. HN is the place you want to make it. Personal behavior, I even work on is not needing to correct people or always replying (especially to bad faith). The reason I came to HN was because it had a better faith community and was a bit nerdier community where there was a higher likelihood of a domain expert having the top comment than buried under a bunch of jokes or naive answers from non-experts.

But that's just me. Feel free to say what you do/want. Feel free to upvote or even downvote. I'm not a cop. You do you.
Somewhere along the way, I came to the belief that the rebuilt One World Trade Center in NYC (1776 ft because we count the antennae as a spire) had been protected by a special law passed forbidding other buildings from exceeding that height so that it would retain a record height in honor of the 9/11 attack victims and responders.

Does anyone else remember that being a thing? I can't find references after a few web searches and I'm trying to decide if I'm the only one or if this is a Mandela Effect thing.

Interesting! This is definitely good food-for-thought, thank you! (At current gig, seems even more clear that we're not making good uses of contexts/etc; both in the sense that we're not using them, and that when we use them we're not using them like this).

It does seem like this can cover a bunch of what I usually turn to Cucumber for - the higher-level descriptions - although I think it reinforces how I generally like to use it: for the multi-step full user flow integration "tests" (leaning heavily towards the "this is a product description" and away from "these should be comprehensive"). That is: use something like RSpec to get your ~100% test coverage via unit tests, and then use Cucumber to both (1) ease communication with what a feature does, and (2) exercise all the code involved in a main user path.

TL;DR - Seems like the happiest path is something like (1) unit tests that barely use contexts, (2) integration (request, controller) tests that heavily use contexts (your examples), (2) feature (cucumber) tests for multi-step feature flows. Unit tests should aim for 100% coverage (but it's OK to miss); integration tests should aim to cover 100% of the different kinds of situations that are encountered (; feature tests should aim to communicate what users actually do.

PS - haha, if you're still at Datadog, talking with a colleague of yours on the sales side about switching from New Relic to y'all. Knowing this quality of code is under there is a a definite point in your favor :)
