This happens a lot when your flying with Alaska or Southwest. Both airlines have significant MAX fleets and will change the dispatch schedule for aircraft fairly often, in my experience on Alaska it happens about 10~20% of the time.

Also, Southwest does not assign seats and Alaska does not have a difference in seats between their -900 and MAX 9 aircraft. Although with Alaska I have had my seat reassigned because they changed from a -900/MAX 9 to a -800 before.
I wish they would go into more detail regarding the health effects. Eyesight, bone density, cancher risks, etc. I think it helps to be older though, slow cell divide and regeneration, slow down even "aggressive cancers"
Digital sort of has this, at least on Amazon. I can watch Paramount or Starz or HBO Max content via Amazon Prime if I have a subscription to them, for example.
For what it's worth, in "Flying Blind", the book written about the first round of 737 max issues, the author has a pretty negative outlook on Calhoun as being mostly aligned with Muilenburg.

> Robison, however, finds little reason for optimism. While Boeing has now accepted responsibility for one of the crashes as part of a settlement, no one at the company besides Forkner has been charged with a crime. Muilenburg was ousted as C.E.O., but still collected a $60 million golden parachute. After being grounded for more than a year, the 737 Max is back in service. And today, Boeing is led by Dave Calhoun, another Jack Welch protégé who was on the Boeing board for years, and was intimately involved in the company’s botched response to the crashes.

Somewhere I've got a flow chart stencil identical to the one shown in this post, with sleeve. An older programmer gave it to me; it was originally from IBM, I believe. I haven't used it since the early 90's.

I was especially charmed by the phrase "pajama paper" to describe the old printer paper with the alternating 3-line high bars of color; I've never heard it called that before, but I plan to call it that from now on. On the, um, rare occasions the topic arises.
Regardless of whether they allow it or not I know a lot of people with two personal accounts. One "professional" real name account that they list on their resume and another "anonymous" account with a screen name where they work on projects they don't want to be directly attributed to.

It is interesting that they tried some experiments with kids who were just learning to write.

My speculation has always been that it is a ritual that we were taught, memorization is just correlated to note-taking by hand for ~20 years for many of us. So it would make sense for that to put our brain in a “let’s memorize” mode (after all, people in the past, before widespread writing, memorized things—presumably they had a different ritual). I assumed people raised on typing would memorize better that way. But the experiments seem to contradict my worldview. :(

> immediately offsetting a product/service's carbon footprint.

What offsetting do you find acceptable? Most carbon offsets sold are complete bunk, thus costing very little. Stuff we can be sure about (like DAC) are well over 500€/ton right now, implemented now this would be sure to lead to riots, especially since it'll probably affect people with less income the most (relative to their income). A carbon price is a great mechanism, but one this high is (IMHO) unworkable and there needs to be accompanying measures to ensure that the carbon price isn't so low as to be ineffective, not strain citizens to much and not make local industry non-competitive.

If we only implemented it for non-strictly-necessary stuff (like meat, flights, big cars, cars outside rural areas, living and heating a larger dwelling over 18°, ), it would still be very unpopular (and probably lead to riots)
Selecting an engineer doesn’t absolve the board of the responsibility to choose the right guy.

There are incompetent engineers, unethical engineers and there are engineers who are bad leaders.

But an accountant as CEO is not going to restore a culture of engineering excellence.
That's not at all true. Spirit manufactures what is essentially a shell, the majority of the assembly (and all the work done by Boeing itself) happens in Seattle.
This is a masterful troll. University of Kansas is extremely well known in aviation. Boeing Wichita has been around forever and now that it’s Spirit, it’s an Airbus supplier.

So very limited actual power compared to any real parliament. Maybe it’s not a joke but it’s about on the same level as the partially democratic European Monarchies from the 1800s as far as being democratic (I assume that’s enough for some people).

True mitigation would be spin-wheel sleeping and standing. Basically a centrifuge with spacesuits at the end, so they sleep/train in simulated gravity. They do not have that on the iss- although the snake-robot crane could do the job.

Side note… I find it kind of ridiculous that my comment got flagged. There are many similarities here. Higher level entity controlling your existence, world entirely dictated by that entity, “true self” just temporarily existing in the provided world but it’s not the “primary” plane of existence. I really struggle to see how this is problematic to discuss.
That's amazing, if they could project this on a HUD you'd have solved the problem basically.
Anecdata: My experience when asking others around my region (mid-southern US, not quite Midwest) is that no one ever looks at that kind of thing. If they do look, they look at the projects being made and how your methodology / way of thinking handles a situation, not how active the profile is.

Suppose I have a computer at home I want to be able to access from anywhere in the world. I can pay a host, a vpn, something like aws or resort to proprietary solutions like teamviwer or similar options. I don't want to resort to any of these alternatives. I want something that is both open source and that I don't have to pay for. The only solution I could find was tor (or maybe i2p) which has its own downsides: high latency, low bandwidth and requires special tools. Is there any possibility I'm not considering?

Symbols are not context free, though. And words being compound symbols means they are heavily dependent on context. Pretty much period.

You can argue that I should be able to copy a method invocation and move it, but I confess I don't even really understand what that would mean or how it would help me. More, you are fixed in a global evaluation sense of the work, now. What if I want to take a formula in code, evaluate its derivative, and then use that for evaluating input? (That is, the exact same code depends on where it is

But, again, my point was not that we can find the reason it doesn't work. I don't know the reason it doesn't work. I don't even know for sure that it can't work. What I do know is that no other communication has distilled to this level of editing. Happy to be proven wrong.

I had meant to edit my post to refer to this all as "a" problem that this idea will face. Specifically that no other editing of anything that I am aware of happens at this level. There are some neat composition tools that can put together some scenes in this way, I think. Such that maybe there is more of a generalization there than I think there is. Seems very unlikely, though.

Now, oddly, I do think software is best made to enable this style of construction for what it controls. Easy example would be a level editor in a video game. That makes surprisingly little sense to do in a symbol based editor, as opposed to a palette based visual editor. Such that I think I'm open to the idea, at some level. Symbol manipulation is just not that level, for most things.

Agree. This video has made me more intrigued than anything Apple has put out.
sure that the case in lot of countries but is something really wrong with idea to have 2+ clients as minimum because reason why work done in that way is because person doing it don't wanna agree on terms that 'employment' contract is required and if that 'single' client is gone he always can get another one in few months. Sometimes you work with few clients in single year but sometimes it just one for 2-3y. And worth part that in some places taxes on self-employment might be higher.
Depends on if Trump takes the Whitehouse in the fall and how European elections go :-(

In either case, even a Ukrainian defeat means Russia will be a pariah state to countries with reasonable governance. Trade will be difficult and diminished, same as it is with Iran.

Putin&Lavrov have clearly made this calculation and decided this is in their own interests. Whether it's in the interest of the Russian people I think is questionable.

The "clickbait" headline corresponds to the paper's abstract pretty well, especially its final sentence:

"It is a puzzle why humans tend toward unrealistic optimism, as it can lead to excessively risky behavior and a failure to take precautionary action. Using data from a large nationally representative U.K. sample (N=36,312), our claim is that optimism bias is partly a consequence of low cognition—as measured by a broad range of cognitive skills, including memory, verbal fluency, fluid reasoning and numerical reasoning. We operationalize unrealistic optimism as the difference between a person’s financial expectation and the financial realization that follows, measured annually over a decade. All else being equal, those highest on cognitive ability experience a 22% (53.2%) increase in the probability of realism (pessimism) and a 34.8% reduction in optimism compared with those lowest on cognitive ability. This suggests that the negative consequences of an excessively optimistic mindset may, in part, be a side product of the true driver, low cognitive ability."
> they already have the SOPs and inspection protocols that reveal defects and proscribe ways to identify, document and address any defect

it's great to have those protocols, but when employees are retaliated against for bringing issues with no corrective changes made, what's the point in having the protocols?

> 1. you're not trusting anyone

Sure you are. You're trusting the client to send you valid data.

> 2. the UUID by itself doesn't authenicate or authorize anything

Okay, better hope no one ever considers the UUID to be a unique randomly generated token.

Besides that, users might be tempted to submit "vanity" UUIDs if they get to decide their own identifiers, breaking assumptions about the system.

Ok, well for this case specifically let's just assume that "reasonable" means "knows a UUIDv1 isn't random, and shouldn't be used as if it were".

You can probably sub in "suitably experienced" for "reasonable" if it reads better.

--On the second point, Autonomous car software is already an extreme example (maybe not, I've never written it). Most vertical SaaS apps are dashboards with front-end, back-end, and a database. It seems pretty groundbreaking if we even reach a point where all those can be built in less than an hour. Think about how many startups are just basically building a CRM right now.

It was arguably under Muilenberg, an engineer, that many of the current issues with Boeing's culture were either created or allowed to flourish. I think it is "frequently framed" as an engineers-vs-accountants thing by engineers or others who like to think that STEM people can do no wrong.
I was at DEF CON 26 & 27 and people had punched/torn holes in the drywall in several places, and at one stairwell where you could reach up and slap the ceiling, chunks of ceiling were falling off from where people were gouging it.

DEF CON is a hell of a party, and I hope to go this year, but the attendees are a force to be reckoned with. Even I ended up fucking up a homemade badge, and tossing a failing lithium battery into the trash in the middle of a casino, only to learn later I created a trash fire, so I know firsthand that we're a problematic bunch.
> Suppose we're talking about an app where users can post events. Each public event has a page at /event/<uuid>. So any malicious user can trivially find the id of an existing event.

This is bad UX and bad design, usually human-readable event slug will be shown in the URL.

But I agreed that since UUIDs are not encrypted, they can be acquired by the attacker (but this equally applies to any other unencrypted data handled by the client).

> Suppose there's also an api where you POST a JSON body to /api/v1/event to create an event. This uses a client generated ID so the body contains the title, location, etc and the supposedly newly generated id. A malicious client could submit an existing uuid instead of generating a new one, and the server would need to reject this.

Again this is bad design, and the attacker will also need to either hijack the session, or to steal JWT token.

> I'm not saying this is a big issue, but saying "P_collision = 1 / 2^122" is misleading and gives a false sense of security. P_collision is 100% if a malicious user can specify any id they want and wants to specify a colliding one.

I agreed with you, but the attacker can copy any ID, including server-generated ones. So I don't understand the problem. Any external data need to be validated be it client-generated or server-generated. Do you claim that somehow validating UUIDs for uniqueness in the DB layer is more expensive than any other validation of the external data?

> I don't understand why you're bringing in idempotency keys. The way to fix this is to reject client generated ids that already exist.

Please read again, yes all external data need to be validated, so it equally applies to server-generated IDs (only they will need to be validated on UPDATE-s and DELETE-s instead of INSERT-s).

Idempotency keys just reduce the load on the hard-to-scale RDBMS database layer, so it will not be hit on every retry or replayed malicious requests.
Even without flags, it will ask to allow access interactively instead of silently aborting.

The YotaPhone did something similar back in 2012, I'm surprised it took this long for someone else to try it again. IIRC they had oodles of crowdfunding support but fumbled the logistics side of things.
Backstory to the above, if you want it:

In 1990 near DC, I did lawn care & hauling. I ingratiated myself with a guy who did GSA auctions and had a PC shop. I did auctions and learned to fix hardware for 2 years. His shop closed and DC is super expensive. I moved my kid and pregnant wife to FL (inexpensive back then) in 92. Worked as an mechanic at a car lot and at a small local IT shop.

In 93 I got a programming scholarship to college. In my last year the org funding me was shuttered as part of the Contract with America. I graduated but without connections, getting hired here was difficult. Two years of resumes yielded one distant job offer.

During that time I did residential IT, which is about as fun as it sounds. I also handed out cards to every local biz and chatted up anyone who'd stand for it. Three years of that led to my first real client, an org for developmentally disabled adults (ARC) down south. I supported ARCs for years until I picked up a nearby automotive group.

I got sent back to zero a lot. The 08 meltdown hit car dealerships. I pivoted to local medical but market changes from the ACA ended that. Next was wife's MI (5 kids by then) and that chaos left me with 2 small clients until she left in 19.

During the entire 30 years, I had a friend and on/off biz partner. I gave him my ARC and pharma clients in 04 to focus on auto. In 19 he moved out of state and returned the pharma along with a web retailer. I picked up another med practice and am really busy sometimes.

Combined with income from 3 sons, we're making just enough to cover FLs (now) expensive bills.

Interesting. Last night I watched the excellent 2018 biopic "First Man" (starring Ryan Gosling) about Neil Armstrong and was struck by NASA's selection criteria for Gemini and Apollo astronauts: they required pilots with an engineering background.

Frank Borman, chosen for Gemini and Apollo missions, "earned a Master of Science degree at Caltech in 1957, and then became an assistant professor of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics at West Point." [Wikipedia]

"After retiring from NASA and the Air Force in 1970, Borman became senior vice president for operations at Eastern Air Lines. He became chief executive officer of Eastern in 1975, and chairman of the board in 1976. Under his leadership, Eastern went through the four most profitable years in its history...." [Wikipedia]
