Even if AI robots somehow replaced all of the airline employees it still wouldn't be economically viable to have more than about four major airlines covering routes between all major US airports. The limiting factor is gate access. If we wanted to make room in the market for more airlines then we would have to expand most airports, or build new ones.

There are a number of smaller airlines competing with the big players but they have limited route networks and little opportunity to expand.

> When you eat at a restaurant, are you making an informed choice?

Given that they don't give me a tour of the kitchen, and that I can't actually verify that they haven't been using meat knives to cut my salad, no.

I take it on faith that the food inspectors will ruin their business[1] if they are regularly pulling those kinds of stunts. I take it on faith that the staff have regulations to lean on when they push back on systemic unsanitary practices.

And no, Joe Somebody complaining on reddit that Earl's gave him food poisoning last week and that we should stay away from Earl's doesn't actually inform me that I should avoid Earl's. I don't know Joe, I have no reason to believe him. For all I know, he's just a disgruntled shill who is just making stuff up. Or maybe Earl's bought a batch of contaminated products from further upstream. Or maybe he caught a stomach bug from somewhere else, and is blaming them. Or maybe he's right, but Earl's actually has a lower incidence of food poisoning than the chicken joint across the street, and they just got unlucky.

I have a lot more confidence in an inspection, than in some noise someone's making on the internet, or in some celebrity endorsement on the TV.

But there is some aspect of eating at a restaurant where I do make an informed choice.

Does the food look good? Does it taste good? Is it cheap?

These are the easy to observe bits of information about it. I can actually meaningfully express my preference there, and make an informed decision.

And guess what? There aren't any inspectors for any of that. My town doesn't employ a taste comissar, or an art critic for their FoodSafe team. Because I can tell at a glance which I prefer.

I can't tell at a glance which restaurant is less likely to have the kitchen staff poison me.

> In my experience, having watched friends enter that position, it's drugs which cause drug addiction. Mental health might play a factor, but if I gave the average HN user meth or crack every day for three weeks, their brain chemistry would be almost irreversibly changed and would spend years, if not the rest of their life, wanting more. Same goes for powerful opioids.

I bet if you gave the average HN user meth or crack every day for three weeks, almost certainly nothing would change except their toilet flushing slightly more frequently!

My point was not about basic mechanism of dependence which sure will happen to anybody. It was about what causes them to seek out and take those things in excess in the first place.

> One can argue that certain people are more predisposed to enjoy being high, I'm one of those people. When you see incredibly rich and successful people like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Chris Farley, and Philip Seymour Hoffman ultimately losing it all to that desire, I feel like it's hard to blame something like lack of opportunity or government welfare dependence.

Individual cases and especially these extreme outliers are no good. It's not that one single government policy or social problem is the cause of all drug addiction, but they could contribute to the issue on a population level.
Thanks for pointing this out. I was worried something might be fundamentally wrong with airlines, but now I can rest assured that it was just Trump all along.

Yes, I agree, only it’s less intuitive than it sounds. People experiencing thought control do not have a coherent “sane” explanation.

You will see many, many accounts of “the voices in our heads”, or watchers (targeted persons, etc.)

The intelligent conventional solution is to disregard as “crazy talk”. Schizophrenia even, the truth is that we are not alone in our own minds, that our minds may be entangled and a long standing culture exists among us messing with us. A mob culture, without coherent morals.

This cryptogram is a startling example I must admit. This is happening everywhere and society is predisposed with incredulity. Acknowledging the voices in our heads, or that our minds may be influenced is among the greatest taboos of our society.

> The wings are so utterly critical to flight I can’t possibly imagine any situation they’d be engineered to snap off under.

I don't know enough about the details of the CRJ-900 to say for certain, but in general aerospace engineering does include considerations of this sort, where if a component breaks off you want to ensure that it separates in a specific way.

from an Admiral Cloudberg article [0] about El-Al 1862 [1]:

> The Boeing 747 engine pylon is attached to the wing by four fittings: one at the front, one in the back, and two in the middle (or midspar). Each of these fittings consists of a wing-mounted male lug and a pylon-mounted female lug, which are connected by a fuse pin. The four fuse pins are the weakest part of the pylon, but this is by design. Every airplane system and structure contains planned failure sequences which work to minimize damage in the event of an overload. In the case of the 747’s engine pylons, the fuse pins were designed to fail at a lower load threshold than the fittings themselves, ensuring that if the engine is torn off the wing — perhaps due to extreme turbulence, or a gear-up landing — the fuse pins will fail first, causing the engine to separate cleanly without ripping open the fuel tanks located directly above it. In theory, this should allow an engine to break off upon reaching its design load limit without starting a fire or otherwise compromising the plane’s ability to fly.

Yeah, damaging their brand would only matter if their brand was worth a lot, which would only be the case if there weren’t too many airlines for people to keep track of.

It's an honor to get a reply from the ELKS inventor! In your own assessment, how much would you say does ELKS have in common with the Linux of back in the day? I've read you say something along the lines of "many of the structures are similar to pre-SMP Linux", but I wonder how much of Linux-of-back-then translated well to x86's segmented memory model without MMU and privilege levels of any kind, and how much of it required significant reimagining. I imagine segmentation instead of paging alone means that the mm layer is probably its entirely own design?

By the way, there used to be some few MMUs for pre-286 x86 CPUs back in the day. It was all extremely custom stuff as far as I can tell. The one I'm mostly familiar with was for 80186, and made entirely out of 74xx style logic chips and a bit of SRAM. It supported page-granular mapping and protection across multiple (hardware-defined) process address spaces + kernel, and even I/O space protection (though original SINIX, the system that used it, did not seem to end up turning on I/O protection for some reason). No on-demand paging though, i.e. page faults had to resolve to killing the process instead of resolving the fault, as the pipelined design of even 8088 CPUs already made restarting instructions entirely unpractical.[1]

It would have been fun to see ELKS support such things, though I don't have the time and energy left to look into that nowadays (especially given that those super-bespoke MMUs were never very common, and are virtually extinct today). I also guess that the more interesting MMUs, i.e. the ones that do have page-granular mapping, also wouldn't fit very well with ELKS in the first place, as it's (presumably) entirely written for segmentation.

[1] There is the famous Silicon Valley lore of a workstation manufacturer running two 68000 CPUs in lock step to work around similar limitations, one CPU running behind the other one so it can be used to "restart" the faulting instruction, but that's a story for another day.
Toronto Pearson had wind gusts of 60km/h today.

Edit: listing to the ATC audio I think they said gusts in the 30s (man do they ever speak fast and mumble! Enunciate damn it! Unique New York), which is markedly slower than what the Apple Weather app reported for Pearson.

CRJ-900s have a crosswind limit of ~37 knots sustained (~42 mph) (though I'm seeing different numbers in a few different places, it maybe a little lower) in dry/bare conditions, and can be lower still on slippery runways. Reported winds were ~30 mph sustained with 40 mph gusts. Plausible this was a factor. I will be interested to read the report.

Edit: from an avherald comment:

> Tower ATC alert to Medevac :”Wind 270 Gusting 33”

(Runway 23 is at 230 degrees, so the wind is at 40 degrees relative to the approach.)

> CRJ 900 X Wind Limits:

> • Wet runway: 22 knots for takeoff and landing

> • Fair braking action: 20 knots for takeoff and landing

> • Poor braking action: 15 knots for takeoff and landing

> • High minimums status for PIC: 25 knots for takeoff and landing

> • High minimums status for SIC: 15 knots for takeoff and landing

> Crosswind estimation:
> The maximum crosswind component considers the wind's speed and direction. For example, a 30-degree crosswind has a maximum limit of 50% of the wind speed.

> So here a 40-degree Crosswind, gusting, wet/contaminated Runway with 2” packed snow, 1-2 inches wet snow, Blowing Snow and possible shear all add up to probably exceeding Limits.
In the New York City area time is the measure of distance. I think that's the same in every large Metro area.
I guess "hibernating" (writing VRAM to swap) works better than expecting userspace to gracefully handle device resets. One linear read vs. a thundering herd of processes re-initialising, decompressing, etc. should be more predictable/reliable at least.

I do wonder however how much VRAM is "volatile" - ie. framebuffers - and could just be thrown away. And web browsers seem to handle GPU resets just fine, so maybe they could opt-in?

I think “and we’re gonna kill NAT too!” is precisely where IPv6 overstepped and started making things worse for itself. It didn’t need to be this way.

NAT sounds like a bad idea at first glance, but it doesn’t exist just to alleviate address shortages (although it does.) It doesn’t just exist to provide security by default either (although it does that too.)

NAT is also the only sane choice in residential setups. Because your public IP address prefix isn’t static. That was never going to happen. And just saying “never put an IP address in any configuration file” isn’t a satisfactory answer. When a reprefix happens, and your clients are all only speaking on GUA addresses, your network is going to be fucked until they expire the old addresses. Not in theory, in practice. None of my devices in my household did any sort of reasonable thing when Comcast changes my prefix. I had to just go around and reboot everything.

NAT means I am in 100% control over what IP addresses I configure in my own network. It means I can actually run a DNS server and it works. It means I can configure devices with static addresses and it actually works.

ULA isn’t some edge case, it’s the only sane option in residential setups. (You know, that thing you need to maximally support in order for ipv6 to have a chance in hell at succeeding.)

The IETF finally releasing guidance that ULA’s should be on equal footing to GUA’s feels like them finally admitting that there might be something to this whole NAT thing. It happened entirely too late IMO.

I was just reading a great paper "Real Analysis in Reverse" by none other than a James Propp, if you are the same James Propp, thank you for your work!

I had a subpar mathematics education growing up which prevented my seriously learning it for a long time. Now, everything I know about math stems from my own, self-directed reading, and papers like yours (if you are the same person) are an absolute godsend. Thank you for all your work. I'm looking forward to digging into this post, in either case, as it seems to fit within the same category!
I've not seen any video of the crash. Usually, when there's a crash, dash cam or other amatuer video caught it.

Which leads to my repeated bafflement as to why there are no video cameras constantly pointed at flight ops at the airport.

If every 7-11 can have a security cam recording hi-def 24/7, why can't a couple of these be mounted in the tower pointed at the tarmac?
Canadian ATC.
We do and it does work, but we're talking about a plan some 17ish years in the making to collect all the pieces of Exodia. It really is hard to explain to anyone who wasn't around just how much they hated Obama— the most powerful man in the world, a black man?! The Barack HUSSEIN Obama era and how the party changed their mission to one of burn it all down at all costs. The Tea Party which started this mess was a direct response to Obama. The GOP got two once in a lifetime draws with Trump to finish the set and now all three branches are all aligned.
So are you saying that the root cause of this crash (and the others I suppose) is something that happened in the last 4 weeks?
In fact, I want to hear from authors, who write books and profits from their work, what’s their thoughts about this policy change.

Too bad the airport couldn't find the funds to put a dash cam in the tower. Grump grump grump.
> whenever a major incident like this happens, it almost always means those regulations were incorrect, violated, or didn’t cover a specific scenario

Having an aircraft (with no emergency declared) landing with a 40° crosswind at 23 knots, gusting 33 knots, with patchy snow, and active snow removal ops ongoing, lose control on the runway is probably not a favorite to be a maintenance omission or a regulatory dodge.
