Right now, it will affect all flights, including those not flying to/from the US.

Only countries that are not members of the ICAO can still fly 787s after receiving the notification. (Congo?)

ICAO defines the rules and countries can change/add some parts of it using amendments (PANS). But those about safety/certifications cannot be changed.

When a plane is certified in a country, its local safety board is responsible for its safety certifications, decisions made by this safety board are reflected to all countries.

So, in fact, NTSB has jurisdictions over boeing certifications worldwide. If a boeing airplane crashes in brazil, NTSB will also participate in the investigation. If an Airbus crashes in the US, french authorities will also be envolved.

EDIT: (as noted by binarycrusader)

This seems to be a immediate service bulletin. So, the planes can still fly, they just need to be serviced before the next flight.

The claim by the parent is that they aren't just some new startup, but that they've been in the game for quite a while (12 years by parent's numbers) and are just now expecting profit. This isn't exactly the same as a blanket criticism of startups that aren't profitable due to the sheer magnitude of time for StumbleUpon.

I also think if you took a direct 100% popular vote right now (or especially the day after Sandy Hook), 50+% of people would vote for banning all guns. A majority of people would also support confiscating the assets of the richest 1%, etc., though.

What a relief that nobody is talking about either banning all guns or confiscating assets.
I can see it now, people reading 800 books a day by outsourcing or some other scam.
Its a non monetary transaction. You get to host you video on YouTube, YouTube gets to advertise in your videos.

No money passes hands, but there is a benefit for both sides. It is the video that generates the traffic, I'd consider that the payment.
There is a similar healthcare start up with branches in California and Nevada with similar pricing model(medlion.com). They charge $59/month per adult, $39/month for senior adults and $19/month for 21 and younger.
I hope this model catches on throughout the nation soon. US is in desperate need of some disruptive model in healthcare with more transparent in pricing structure.
You've been free to buy uranium from since George W. Bush backed you in a treaty modification with the nuclear suppliers group. You had been blacklisted before that, because your nuclear weapons pissed off the world (don't blame the world).

A quick google search turns up the Australian PM agreeing to sell you uranium:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-10-18/gillard-visit-paves-wa...

"Prime minister Singh and I have agreed that we will commence negotiations for the nuclear safeguards agreement, the civil nuclear cooperation agreement given Australia is now prepared to sell uranium to India," she said.

One of the biggest detriments to interface builder is the lack of code review. If you're a solo developer, you can maybe get by without this... but for a team that actively follows a code review process, nib files are black boxes with no searchable history.

Out of curiosity, have you maintained any of your large projects over a long period of time? Did you have any issues with nib files (i.e lots of duplicated bugs? re-introduced bugs? etc?) Personally I've avoided nib files like the plague because of this, but I'm curious as to how others deal with them.

Currency has no counter party risk, but does have Fiat Risk.

Your thread on gold not being an asset doesn't make sense for any common definition of asset, so I can't really respond. Gold isn't a currency, it's a commodity.

Productive assets (Bonds) have counterparty risk, and stocks quite often have correlative performance to a currency crisis in the country that they exist. I.E. If the US Dollar crashes, odds are the various exchanges will take a beating.

Gold is a tool in your portfolio, nothing more. Use it where it makes sense for you.
Conveniently arranged here in our article in 15 lines!
I would have both a Concealable permit and a HRF permit both include a General permit, but not include each other. If a gun fits into both categories, then you would need both permits. So in other words you would have 5 states; None, General, Concealable-General, HRF-General, All.

That all seems very reasonable to me.. which sadly probably means it will never happen.
If you want to enter US airpspace or even fly to Canada, Mexico or even Colombia the FAA will most likely have a say in it.

What you can trade for using your currency is what gives it value. At least IMO. In that case paper money is doing fine. The primary purpose of currency is too ease trade, not too keep score. As long as the value of paper money stays relatively stable over the short- to mid- term than it is doing it's job. 0-5% inflation a year is pretty stable, it's not going to have a large effect on when I chose to purchase things. In fact some inflation might be good to counteract the effect of technological advance: sure my money might be worth 5% 'less' a year from now, but I'll be able to buy something 50% 'better'.
He said that for emotional effect, he obviously doesn't actually believe it. Since somehow "This is killing hundreds of children every year, we need to act" doesn't connect with people, I give it a pass.
Definitely. And Super Debugger can be used just as well for IB projects too (some things you can't test out with IB, like a corner radius).

And of course, this tool isn't just for UI tweaking. It's for any kind of messages you might want to send to objects. It's an object spelunker.
I'm not sure, but in the Wikipedia article I found that the electricity problems in the Fukushima plant lasted from March 11 to March 22 at least (the problems continued for a longer time). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disas...

So 72 hours = 3 days would be not enough alone, but I also don't know how the other actions had made the situation better or worse.
It's similar to many jQuery plugins I've seen. "LOOK, you can do all this with one line of code!"

$("#mydiv").someplugin();

But then they show all the HTML adjustments you have to make to get the plugin functioning. Just tell me straight!

But, credit to the author, I always like seeing how people use the command line to accomplish things. One day, I'd like to make a "get_subs" command that orders Jimmy Johns for me.

Then you are the one being short-sighted here. A good engineer is a good engineer is a good engineer, someone with great learning aptitude is a great asset for any company. Say you hire someone for today's task, but next year the technology changes and the guy you hired is horrible at learning new things. What do you do? Do you fire him and hire someone for next year's task? What if the old technology still requires backward support, do you keep the old guy on payroll as well? What if the same thing happens the year after next?

You don't want people to learn on your time? That's incredibly short sighted. Real engineering is about learning all the time, whether it's taking a formal training session or just reading a long post on StackOverflow. If you don't want to pay your engineer to learn things then you simply don't care about the engineering quality of your company and all you care about is short term payroll bottom-line.

I feel sorry for the engineers who work under you.
Exactly. And even the collapsible stock is partially cosmetic and partially functional... but only for ease of use. It does nothing to make that weapon any more deadly than any other.
How to eat an elephant: Planning software development - fixed link
This probably predates SMTP, but I can't find a solid review of this historic issue. I'll look around.

UPDATE: It's mentioned here for example:
http://www.michaelrobertson.com/archive.php?minute_id=192
Its been a while. The best I recall, the model the theory used was for a random distribution of legal interpacket timings that didn't account for the rather significant minimum interpacket gap imposed by the hardware.

It was also significant here because people forgot all the preconditions of the original paper and just applied the sound bite synopsis.
It's a reactive target of opportunity, so to speak.

Josh Sugarmann, who seems to be the brain trust for the gun grabbers, had already worked up a campaign against civilian semi-auto assault rifles, based on their "scary" looks and deliberate conflation of them and real military selective fire assault rifles ("machine guns", although often it's just a 3 round burst for better control). And then the Stockton schoolyard massacre happened (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_School_massacre) and off they went.

(A couple of notes on things you won't get from that article: Purdy was able to legally buy his weapons with his SSI money because his crimes had always been plead down to misdemeanors; I'm also pretty sure he never passed the 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(4) criteria for a mental disbarment, so even if the NICS had existed then it wouldn't have stopped him.

Great emphasis is placed on these weapons being "high powered" ... which by definition they are not. And being based on military designs the cheapest ammo is FMJ, which is also the least wounding (Hague Convention requirement to make war more "humane"). According to Martin Fackler this resulted in ER doctors excessively debreiding wounds from them, resulting in greater morbidity and mortality under the real word got out.

I mention that because a lot of these efforts have very nasty unintended consequences, e.g. the whole "cop killer bullet" campaign about bullets that were never for sale to civilians did result in one thing: teaching a lot of criminals that a lot of cops wear concealable body armor....)

Anyway, you're right: if you really want to save lives, and/or want to minimize damage to your political side/party/whatever, it's a terrible approach. Cost the Democrats the Congress in 1994, according to no less a political genius than Bill Clinton.

Why does it keep coming back? I suppose it's viewed as low hanging fruit, easy to propagandize, and while you may "generally support gun control", a lot of gun grabbers are quite explicit about wanting to ban all guns and will take anything they can get (note, for example, how few of the current proposals would even in theory have changed the Newtown, Connecticut outcome; I mean, the police took at least 14 minutes to arrive after the first 911 call). So, again, a target of opportunity; rational policy by anyone's lights is simply not relevant.

I think the point is that I'm pro-life, I'm just "proer"-choice.

Obviously situations where the mother's life is in danger are kind of a gray area, but I think you could comfortably be "proer"-life and oppose the choice in non-life-threatening situations. Not that I agree, but that opinion wouldn't be "anti-choice".
It's not different, except for a few ads on each page.

The main difference is that wikipedia pages will now link to wikivoyage instead of wikitravel.

I've found Givewell to be incredibly analytical and thoughtful in their analysis of how to get the most bang for the nonprofit buck, and I always consult them before giving. I'd encourage everyone to visit GiveWell next time they have some reason they're going to give money (or some area they want to give to) but they're not sure to whom to give.

For an example of their work, an analysis of the value of giving cash directly to those in need (instead of, say, a cow): http://blog.givewell.org/2012/12/26/the-case-for-cash-2/

Their top recommended charities: http://www.givewell.org/charities/top-charities

(Fwiw: before I entered tech I was a consultant helping big foundations (like Gates, Packard, etc.) assess their performance (as part of http://www.effectivephilanthropy.org). So for a tech person I consider myself reasonably well-versed in nonprofit evaluation--and how difficult it is.)

Again, I generally support gun control, and I'm not looking for a political discussion about that. My question is why progressives continue to list such an absurdly poor idea next to more reasonable and effective proposals.
It's not an issue of handguns vs. drones, or rifles vs. tanks. It's an issue of ~20 million households holding 300 million guns. In the (admittedly unlikely) event that someone has tyrannical aspirations, those numbers present a real obstacle.
You don't have to have a Content ID system, but you have to take down the content in the face of a correctly filled out takedown request, even if it's plainly fair use.

You also have to "replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the counter notice, unless its designated agent first receives notice from the person who submitted the notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the service provider’s system or network."[1] (emphasis added)

It would be interesting to hear about what you guys have found effective in helping support fair use with vive.ly, but since the DMCA makes it essentially zero cost to spam takedown notices, even if only to achieve a chilling effect, the only tool you have (talking to the company posting the notice) is not very effective. You certainly (AFAIK) have no legal leverage as a safe harbored service provider.

When discussing the technical aspects of, say, Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will, it is impossible to leave our values out of the discussion. However, the topic is html5, in a technical community.

Let's talk about the effectiveness of using a bit of animation in what is otherwise a flat picture. The animated, half-mast flag is emphasized, and reawakens our alarm about the violence of guns by associating it with many other national emergencies, including the 9-11 Attacks.

Let's talk about the effectiveness of carefully moving our attention to a new topic by employing a fading background connected to the scrolling action. We have little room to pause and think and doubt the material, the next topic is already materializing before us.

etc. etc.

You may not agree with this message, but it is working.

Understanding why your outlook is being countermanded by the techniques employed by the Obama Administration (by way of an html5 developer) may help you see your POV to action far more than your own - text-based - propaganda here.
>Technical people do stuff like MAC spoofing all the time, as in the article. //

Yes to gain access to material they are not authorised to access, for example.

>I set curl and wget to spoof a more common user agent, because some things simply don't work otherwise. //

But you know that spoofing a useragent, eg Googlebots, to crawl a domain is unauthorised access. You do.

From what I've read recently Aaron Swartz was quite brilliant. He also appears to have acted morally in attempting to free JSTOR data (IMO a noble cause), but I very much doubt he was so naive as to believe he was acting legally in doing so. It seems to me to require suspension of rational thought to come to this conclusion.

MAC spoofing does really help prove mens rea. Authorisation was restricted to content based on MAC; a person spoofed MACs to gain access, that person knew that spoofing MAC was something that would gain access that wasn't authorised.

An analogy: If someone is offering free samples in the street, you may well be able to get lots of free samples by wearing different disguises, you may even be giving the samples to the needy, but claiming you didn't appropriate those samples by deception (ie fraud) is just lying.
This is awesome, trying it now.
It's a matter of degree. Matte black guns with pistol grips look "scarier" than the same gun with a traditional stained-wood stock and grip. People look at one and think "weapon of war" while the other says "hunting rifle". (Obviously both deserve and require the same amount of respect and caution.)

Look at the old Federal Assault Weapons Ban and it should become pretty apparent what I mean.

It can be useful as a currency as I mentioned. My point is that it's mostly useless in itself (for actual uses of the metal) as can be seen by the fact that we're perfectly happy keeping a lot of it locked away.
100% agree.

This is almost like granting power of attorney to anyone who hacks your Gmail account, making the threshold for controlling your whole existence your Gmail password (or even your Gmail session if you stay logged in and don't 100% physically secure your computer every time you walk away from it). The video shows no extra authentication step when the signing occurs, which is particularly egregious.

a) If it's legally binding like a real signature then I can't do it because it's far too risky

b) If it's not legally binding like a real signature then it's useless

The litmus test is what happens when a dispute arises in court over one of these signatures. If the defense "Somebody accessed my computer while it was logged in and fraudulently signed" is accepted then this thing is blown out of the water. No longer can the hand writing expert come in and testify whether it is in fact your writing. No longer will the fact that the signature is 100% identical to another document that you signed in the past be evidence that the signature was copied. All of the security features of "real" signatures are gone.

although less than previous aircraft from my understanding. I think i remember saying that the 787 Wiring harness was simplified by replacing alot of cables and wires with a Ethernet like bus for data.
So, it seems that the aircraft certifications are still valid, just the batteries need to be checked. That's just a immediate service bulletin then.
You know, a lot of private investors dumped a lot of money in the dot-com boom also. Everyone has heard stories like "If you would have invested $100 in Polaroid / Apple / what have you when they first started you would be a millionaire right now". That kind of thinking drove the dot-com era, and I think it is the same kind that is driving the alternative energy market. Many sources won't make it, but some will probably make it big.
"the amount of effort you expend to sign a petition is next to nil. Why would anyone expect, then, that signing a petition can affect any sort of change?"

If everyone did such, I feel that petition systems would be a lot more worthwhile.

The current answers seem good, but I wonder why you work? Or perhaps: why work so much?

You're pretty young and your parents are supporting you, at least providing housing, which is pretty nice. I'd tackle some of those personal projects you enjoy, and travel (at the very least, explore your own city), and learn to do some new stuff (learn Latin and read Cicero, practice a musical instrument, learn how to bind books, build a tube amplifier, other stuff we never have time to do 'cause working for rent/mortgage gets in the way). Go to the library (w/o a laptop) and sit and read, a lot.

I so wish I were young again...

And yeah, talk to your parents, being sure to let them do lots of the talking.
