terminous

Get this generationalist BS out of here. It isn't supported by the facts. Airline safety has improved with each generation. There were many more plane crashes in the 1970s-1980s when boomers were in their prime. Five times as many!

Flagged as irrelevant to topic of discussion.

It's a deep cultural rot that has apparently taken over in the 2010s, not a physical rot with older variants. There is no more of the classic Boeing engineering culture.

Read these emails and chats from Boeing employees in charge of safety and compliance, who brag to each other about pulling a "Jedi mind trick" on the regulators and how they deserve to get paid more for all the money they're saving the company.

> you can basically take whatever train you want that you believe goes towards your goal.

That's a big difference between Germany and Switzerland. Full fare tickets let you take any route, but reasonably priced tickets are specific to a schedule of trains. If there is a delay causing a misconnect, you have to queue at the ticket window to get it endorsed for a later specific train. And my ticket inspectors on the train seriously inspected the endorsement each time.

To counterpoint: in the height of summer tourist season 2023, I spent a week in Switzerland taking trains and booked several supersaver tickets in advance with 15-30 minute connections. I was told stories of the efficiency of Swiss trains, and that I could book 5-10 min connections with no problems, but chose to be safe and do 15-30 mins. Well, I missed 3 of these connections due to delays on the incoming train. I had to queue at the ticket booth to get it endorsed for the next train.

Because Boeing is 'too big to fail', proven in the last 737 Max case with MCAS. If there were no leadership prosecuted for that travesty and tragedy, none will ever be for this one. Proper accountability would cripple both the civilian and military sides of the US aerospace sector, which is dominated by Boeing.

So Southwest is all-in on not just Boeing, but 737s. That's their entire fleet. It makes a lot of things simpler. Could they boycott and switch to Airbus? Possibly, but at massive cost and logistics nightmares. Given their logistics failures elsewhere, they'd be fools to try to exit Boeing over this.

Don't think of it like a transparent camera. Think of the window as a giant external periscope lens, connected to the rest of the camera with such thin fiber optics that you can't notice.

I'll give your non-contribution to this discussion a quote in turn:

"Libertarians are like house cats: completely dependent on a system they neither understand nor appreciate, but nevertheless fiercely confident of their own independence."

That line also begins with "Now, take a deep breath" which an LLM cannot do.

For all the valid criticism of the Wikipedia Foundation, their combined salaries of all "officers, directors, trustees, and key employees" (aka board and C suite) was $4.2 million in 2021

Stop with this strawman argument. They're not saying criminals should just be released immediately and forgotten about until they commit their next crime. If you sincerely believe that this is the position of criminal justice reform advocates, you have been misled.

They're talking about criminals being housed in something other than a tiny cage with other criminals 23/7, who are all treated like they are irredeemable criminals who should never be allowed to re-enter society, even though most of them don't have life sentences. Turns out if you do that, the micro-society that results among prisoners is a warped society where criminality is rampant and normal. The strategies you learn to live in the prison society will cause you to become more of a criminal once you are released into the larger society, not less of one. In other words, prisons as they are currently run in the US are effectively a crime training program.

In what world is that logical? In what world would we not ask ourselves, "Is this really working? Should we at least try something else?"

Yeah pretty much no normal consumer wants to pay per stream.

Right, the classic phrase is "markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent"

> Welcome to HN

We don't allow ad hominem attacks here, Andrew. You made uncited assertions, got an uncited assertion in response, and then made this wonderful contribution to the discussion.

Yeah, that's just attention with extra steps

Oh my God, they were called newspapers and magazines, and this industry killed them.

This is the magic of broadcast media oligopolies.

There was a co-presence signal, but it had a 12-24 hour delay. It was called "the water cooler." You quickly learned what everyone else was watching and if you had picked the wrong network for that timeslots.

Sure, buddy.

In the US, driving checkpoints are only allowed to check for compliance with driving laws only for the driver: drivers license, car registration and insurance, and sobriety of the driver. It is part of what you give up to drive in public roads. But checkpoints can't search passengers or the car, unless something else that is illegal is in plain view.

> Breakthrough Listen at UC Berkeley

This is an announcement for a new partnership with an organization called "Breakthrough Listen". There have been no new discoveries. There is no breakthrough. There is nothing new to see or hear here.

Title seems deliberately deceptive to make people think SETI has had a breakthrough listening event. Fuck whoever made this title with a bent, rusty fork.

Without any information on how this is calculated, this is pure snake oil. Could be a RNG for all we know. Shame.

Sure it may not be a big secret, but I would say that any substantive report about any systematic platform anomalies that align with any geostrategic objectives are relevant posts for HN, be it a platform in the US, China, or any other country.

Refusal to discuss any of these because it is something everyone ostensibly knows... Now that is suspicious.

On its own, "from the river to the sea" is just a description of a geographic area. It is equivalent to a bounded GIS grid. It is not a complete sentence. There is no verb.

I wish for a future where there is peace and love, with no violence, from the river to the sea. I wish for a future where all people, from the river to the sea, have full human rights under the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I wish for a future where all people, from the river to the sea, are enthusiastic users of GNU/Linux and the worst conflicts are debates over text editors.

If someone uses "from the river to the sea" in a sentence where they call for genocide, then what would make that sentence wrong is the verb phrase calling for genocide.

> I've never heard anyone promote frequentist statistics.

At least in my undergrad education, I took two dedicated statistics classes and many more domain science classes that used statistics, all of which were so steeped in the frequentist paradigm that frequentist vs Bayesian wasn't even mentioned. Frequentist statistics simply was statistics for me, until grad school.

Open source advocates: "With enough eyes, all bugs are shallow."

These researchers: "I see your project includes a non-zero amount of CSAM."

Open source advocates: "How dare you point out an issue? This is a hit piece!"

Except that almost every landlord I've ever had has treated me like second-class citizen or a child, constantly invaded my privacy, and skimped on all the costs that you're supposed to be saving. No guests at any time. No candles. Inspections for "safety" every 1-2 weeks, often with no notice because of a contrived emergency. Wouldn't fix the freezer part of the refrigerator because the lease only said it has a refrigerator, not a fridge+freezer. Going off on long political and cultural rants against my generation and political party every time we interact. Cameras pointed at my front door 24/7, with detailed tracking of my overnight guests (for a lease that would only allow 2 weeks of overnight guests a year).

If you don't own your home, you don't own your life.

So does my Toyota RAV4.

I don't want someone like this anywhere near my company.

It's in the hardware.
