Or even does business with US citizens.
I'm sceptical. Is it possible for anyone to "completely change" a large corporate entity? If possible, is that even a good thing? It will certainly take time for the metaphorical dust to settle, and we see if any unintended effects follow on from a complete change, eh?
I'm not sure why you assume that removing the union will result in all pilots making a pittance. I am not in a union, yet I make more than $16,000.
I don't understand this "trend" of posting the entire S-1 document that a small portion of people are going to read in full. I'd much prefer to read a news article rather than trying to skim through it all.
What do you mean by "vendetta"?

I'm not particularly conservative, but I am relative to Metafilter and I've argued center-to-right positions there (for example, pro-life).

I think it's true to say that it can be very challenging to engage the membership in a way that goes against the lefty gestalt, and if/when you do, there are certainly members who will be less than kind or thoughtful about responding to that kind of participation. But I've rarely had any problem with negative attention from the mods, certainly nothing that I'd describe as a vendetta.

Does anyone know the specific rules or statutes that underpin this argument? What are the actual rules designating how much experience a pilot/team needs with a particular airline before they're allowed to fly?

It'd be interesting to dig into the history behind them. (Did pilots lobby for them, or did they make sense at some point for safety?)

I've been delivering apps just like that for 15 years without problems. As far I can remember there hasn't been an single case where this would have been a real problem.

I'm well aware that it isn't a perfect solution but it just works.
The vast majority of Metafilter pageviews are people who lurk and just read the content. (The $5 barrier to entry and reasonably small community is a feature, not a bug)

The vast majority of these lurkers originally hit the ask.metafilter site by searching for a specific question and landing on a thread where a MeFi member has asked the same thing. Those users were the ones being targeted by ads. So yes, it's pretty easy for a google algorithm change to reduce traffic by that much.

They aren't optimizing the site for search traffic or for growth. They're optimizing it for fantastic discussion and community. I realize that's a foreign concept here on HN, where growth and monetization are king, but I believe it's why Metafilter has remained a popular and influential site for over 15 years. (That's like 100 in internet-years...)
I believe it's just that GoPro + Internet allows for more action sports footage from many more perspectives to be broadcast to a wider audience compared to what was available ten years ago. I know theberrics.com uses GoProp for a lot of their footage.
I agree that it's more rational than the academic, but that's exactly my point, what is the rational course of action in these cases for selfish individuals in aggregate creates an environment where bad outcomes are enriched. The bad outcome of the PI's lack of introspection, is a really low bar to be comparing against.
Running a 10 minute stopwatch over the message count (at 8:30pm pt, a popular messaging time I'd imagine), I recorded 43k messages sent; extrapolating, that's 6.2 million messages per day; given that there have been 1,593 million messages sent in total, this is a 0.388% daily growth rate, or compounded a 12.6% monthly growth rate.
What if they said they'd bing for the answer? Would that count against them?
Suppose I have a binary tree, created by Combinatory Logic S, K and I primitives. The S-primitive doesn't actually duplicate anything, it just increases a reference count. So my binary tree is actually a Directed Acylic Graph of a sort. See http://stratigery.com/cl/#INTERPRETER

I'll be examining these algorithms closely, but does an algorithm exist to traverse the DAG so created as if it were a binary tree? I want to be able to count the leaf nodes of the tree, without the traversal getting hung up in the situation where an interior node's children are both the same node instance, with a reference count of 2.
generating revenue isn't the same thing as providing a valuable service and it's kind of sad that i have to point that out in the first place. there's a reason i've read metafilter every day for over a decade and reddit is generally considered a step above 4chan.
"takes one to know one" principle. I like it.
You sexist... How dare you challenge feminists, They have every right to fight mother nature... So what if they are biologically and mentally a perfect fit for taking care of children and domestic duties. So what if men are the obvious natural choice as breadwinner. So what if this ruins countless marriages and families, so what if kids are raised by day care providers who don't give a lick about them, so what if it causes tens of thousands of abortions by career women each year.

Taking the man who is biologically programmed (via evolution or creation) to be the leader, head decision maker, and breadwinner essentially switching him into the minority power role because he is not the primary breadwinner? How could that ever hurt a marriage? How could that ever make his wife respect him less?

Taking the women and putting her in roles of abstract logic and non emotional decision making against her nature? how could that ever cause stress for her. How could sending her kids off each day to be raised by a day care provider ever cause her guilt or grief due partly to her in-built nurturing instincts/programming? How could she avoid hating her husband for not being the mother that he should be?

How could any of this negatively affect society today and for future generations? That would be obscene. Just look at the positives of where we are today... Emmm better get a microscope.

I don't blame feminists for their beliefs, I blame men (past and present). If men would have respected and taken care of their wife's and daughters the way they should have, they would have been happy, fulfilled, and never started rebelling and trying to turn against men and even against nature itself.
How did we get we busy? (or did we?)

Average American watches 5 hours of TV per day: http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/average-american-watch....

Perhaps people spend more time at work then they used to, but while not at work they spend way less time working on things like mowing the lawn, cooking, washing clothes, ETC.

Women blaming men for them being too busy need to weight their options IMO. If you are too busy, quit your job and stay home. To maintain the quality of life that existed while Keynes wrote this book, a single income is often adequate. It's not worth killing yourself over.

I think what much of what explains the wealth gap is free trade and illegal immigration. We import everything from China today. We would not allow these sweat-shops in our country with children working in dangerous conditions for pennies an hour. We wouldn't allow it here, but we do support it by buying these products. This breaks the whole premise that Keynes was basing his predictions on (Illegal immigrant employment as well). People can get rich paying illegal workers almost nothing, or importing a product from China and marking up it's price by 8-10x.

This throws things out of the balance that he envisioned.

I recently bought another copy of DEFCON as I'd lost mine. That's the most chilling game I've ever played (and looks amazing!), so I think the DEFCON map style is appropriate here...
Interesting and seems to match my experience.

My guess is the freedom to try new things would be a way to maintain or improve ones happiness. There are a ton of things I wish I had time to do/learn/experience, but the general trend of society is to chase the dollar through "steady" work.

Thoughts on Martini – Introducing Negroni
Good points but avoids the reason why pilots actually start at such a low salary. It's not just the senior pilots.

Essentially it is supply and demand.

The supply of people that want to fly an airplane [1] exceeds the demand for pilots. So we have a race to the bottom in starting salaries.

There are people that love flying enough that they are willing to work for peanuts and that excess supply drives the salary down to the levels mentioned - "$16,000 per year" (I will assume that is correct.)

Remove that excess supply and everything changes in the equation and what the unions and airlines can do (with an established airline as well as a startup).

This is really similar to what happens in several industries with desirable jobs (entertainment is one of those).

[1] And will do so for the salary that is currently offered to start in other words.
US Airways was in bankruptcy in 2005; America West essentially took over US Airways, but then dropped its own branding and operated the merged airline as US Airways.

Last year American Airlines was in bankruptcy; US Airways essentially took over American, but is going to drop its own branding and operate the merged airline as American Airlines.

In the America West/US Airways merger, as I understand it there was never actually integration of the unions; they ended up in two groups, "West" and "East", and did not mix due to inability to agree on a merged seniority list ("East" was a larger group with more seniority by date of hire, but "West" didn't want to be effectively demoted by a straight seniority merge).

In the US Airways/American merger, meanwhile, it's the American Airlines pilots who are the larger group, but the US Airways pilots who would come out on top by straight date-of-hire merge. So that's going to be fun to work out.

And American's regional subsidiary Envoy (formerly American Eagle, renamed to avoid confusion with the umbrella brand for AA's regional services operated by multiple airlines) recently rejected a contract that would have brought new planes with a wage freeze, so AA is in the process of downsizing and threatening to downsize the Envoy subsidiary.
No examples of a union being "busted" but in a few cities there's been a pattern of massively increased junior salaries for teachers, together with a significant weakening of teachers' union power.
tldr. I'm basing my below comment on the title of the article.

I think it's just an out growth of our evolution. I mean throughout human history we've had to be 'busy' to survive. Now there is a small historical ripple in that pattern where we empirically don't have to adhere to the same ethic to survive, but it's still ingrained into us from our history.

In case anyone is wondering, this occurred Dec. 11 - 17, 1999. (The year is missing in the article).
At 8000 meters, Vladimir took over and performed a cobra
maneuver. He flew level and pulled up so fast that the
plane stalled. The plane continued to move horizontally
in a flat stall while pointing up. At some point Vladimir
performed some magic and the plane leaned over horizontal
and flew normally. The result was a loss of 300 kmph in
seconds. This was described to me as a courtesy maneuver
to allow tailgating traffic to pass.

Which year was this? I thought 'cobra' was a post Sukhoi-27 thing. I didnt even know a MiG-29 could do that. Can all of them do it, or some later versions ?

@quickpost Thanks you answered my question.
I've been a long time reader and I am saddened at the prospect of MetaFilter's decline, but yes, the man-bashing is certainly one thing that's driven me away from the site lately.

I consider myself egalitarian; injustices against women and men alike are infuriating to me. So several months ago I posted a powerful article about a woman's struggles growing up in Hezbollah culture. This was very well received, but one of the first commentators felt the need to add, "I say [this religion] was dreamed up in the first place by men, for men, and it seems continually to be defended and further embellished for the benefit of men." This became one of the most-favorited comments on the article, and I felt put on the defensive there simply for being a man.

In contrast, I had also posted Susan Sons's Linux Journal article "Girls and Software" (very well-received here on HN), as I thought it was an interesting counter-point to numerous recent MetaFilter articles adhering to the popular view that the lack of women in computer science is due to some systemic bias against women in higher education and industry (as opposed to preferences formed in early childhood). It was quickly removed, with the moderator calling it a "fight-starter opinion piece".

But every community has its faults I guess, and I certainly hope MetaFilter survives this.

Apple went from near bankruptcy to that $159 billion by sweating the details. (and, I suspect, a certain amount of luck)
Following your premise, you should also not tell children that driving a car recklessly can harm them, or that firearms are dangerous if improperly handled, or that the stovetop can burn them, or that they should look ways before crossing the street...

Seriously. Tell your children about the positive and negative consequences of actions, sex included. Obviously it's pleasurable. Obviously it's procreative. It's also emotionally dangerous to have sex with someone for whom you don't have a solid relationship, because human beings are wired so that the act of sex creates strongly emotional attachment to your partner.

I see my job as a parent to prepare my children to be an adult. Adults make decisions about risky behaviors, and I want to do everything possible to make sure my children have the knowledge necessary to make good decisions when the time comes - no matter what the topic is.
To be fair, the algorithm changed.
The comment you are replying to says nothing about 'across the board'.
Why is this news? The article doesn't even explain in detail why the company has 'privacy' concerns, or why Piwik is an acceptable solution for their analytics or what, if any, are the tradeoffs on this deal.

My next HN article - "We're opting out of Amazon to MS Azure"

You know Amazon AWS? We had some vague concerns. Have you heard of MS Azure? We switched. Here is a link to go check it out. We are no longer in AWS. We are
awesome."

Sometimes HN's selections are truly useless.

I too find the moving background image style irritating. can't remember which one but only once have I found it acceptable and it was because the rest of the content was done well.
Sooo... your allegation is what, that the senior pilots will beat up the junior ones if they don't vote as they are told?
All these overbearing JavaScript frameworks solve problems nobody has. Web design is trivial, all you're doing is bloating it and making it less accessible by replacing native GUI elements (like scrollbars) with our own confusing, low-performance solutions. I see more and more bad habits from 15 years ago come back to hunt the web, how did it come to this?
Myopic about a social dichotomy? How do I lack empathy for the other side? Why do you even note 'gifted rulers vs. plebs' - I singled out the MRM, what the heck do they have to do with that?

No power struggle?! Feminism is arguably the most successful (bullshit) religion in the west.
Bitcoin exchanges reportedly probed over link to Silk Road
From the article:

The mate explained that adults stupidly think that if you
tell children the truth about sex, they’ll have sex
earlier than they really should. He added that the
evidence indicates otherwise.

Evidence? Hopefully "the mate" had some data to back up his claims. Even so, surely the evidence must only apply to people who agree on what "the truth about sex" is, and how "early they really should" have sex.
Moving Tech’s Moral Compass From The Inside Is Harder Than It Looks
The 'make' trick is cool. Used that a couple of times. I just kind of discovered that on my own. Then someone told me about xargs, so now that is my default.

Sometimes by playing with the -j or xargs --max-procs you discover interesting bottlenecks. Remember spending time trying to speed up this script. Used the make trick, it still was not running fast enough, it turns out disk i/o was the bottleneck.
Very handsome visualization. I'm looking forward to the follow-up on how this was put together, especially the front-end.

True, there are application-specific mappings in Linux. But what gets me is the Mac keyboard layout is asymmetrical. The right-hand side does not include a Meta (Alt) key. That makes efficient keyboarding extremely inconvenient.
It's usually the way someone was brought up.

Lots of parents spend their days blaming other people for their lot in life, and taking no responsibility themselves. They do this loudly to each other while the kids are there.

Little kids have big ears and learn by imitating.

Once the pattern is set, it's like kiln-fired concrete. When that kid makes it into management - everything good that happens is their doing, everything bad is somebody else's fault. It's unlikely that person will ever change unless they have some sort of epiphany.

Personally I hold myself responsible for all outcomes assigned to me. In the cases where it could be plausibly not be my fault, I still allocate blame for not having foresight to avoid the situation. This is my hack to prevent development of a blame reflex, and to enforce learning from every poor outcome.

I had that fear under Ubuntu because a new dist upgrade is usually especially unstable. Now that I use Arch I don't fear upgrades. I do perform them fairly often though, because massive upgrades in general can be problematic.
I think it's a polite way of requesting that emails not use garish fonts and colors. Just imagine how many submissions he must get in illegible "handwriting" fonts.
It used to be that the captain had to have an ATP (Airline Transport Certificate), which implies 1500 hours of experience. The first officer could have a standard Commercial certificate, which requires only 250 hours. This changed just recently, so now that both pilots must have an ATP. By 2016, both will be required to have a type rating as well.

This link http://www.pilotscafe.com/new-first-officer-atp-rules-explai... explains it in pretty simple terms.
I've used Martini a bit and also tried some of the other frameworks (beego and revel) and I really don't see what makes people call Martini especially non-Gooey in comparison.

The reality is, when your language is as weak as Go (in terms of advanced features), a framework with any sort of significant features will be quite dynamic and "magic".

I think it's always best to be sincere. If you aren't really considering leaving, don't pretend you are. But if you have an offer and are considering it, don't be afraid to tell your boss so.
Intimidation and pressure is well documented within unions. They're constructed democratically but rarely work that way. It doesn't have to be physical. There are many ways to ensure compliance with voting.

As for pilots - I specifically said:
"I don't know which the pilots unions would use."

I make no allegations about pilots unions, merely comment on the way many unions are run. I have had experience with unions in the past, including being a member.
Mistake #1: It's not about you, it's about them.
Mistake #2: Not having frequent one-on-one meetings with your direct reports. For this I recommend you listen to: http://www.manager-tools.com/manager-tools-basics. One-on-ones are considered the core of the management trinity.
Mistake #3: Not giving timely, frequent feedback.
Mistake #4: Not coaching your team to help them grow.
Mistake #5: Not wanting to let go of your individual contributor responsibilities.

Cheers!
