But some of the dates have errors, which one might, in some applications like to find. And alternatively, how well a scene matches the audience's clear indicators of era is valuable in entertainment – even moreso than accuracy, in so

Potentially, it might help find errors in the existing year-labeling - either via recognizing cases where guessers have wide divergences with a certain bias, or the explicit avenue via the about (email with errors). Or, help identify featur

People like to compete: seeing the same questions makes the scores comparable. Having common context of the same "daily pics" also creates opportunities for discussion & debate which don't exist otherwise. Trickling out s

But the comment that I was responding to claimed, "Southwest's meltdown was definitely not an attack." [emphasis added] I'm not saying it definitely was an attack, nor even that it likely was. Just that it's p

It's a helpful exercise for naive young people who always believe the simple publicly-reported stories, and haven't yet had the life experience to know there's often more to the story, which only comes out years later (if eve

Why do you think I believe it was definitiely involved? I just don't think it's ruled-out by the simple official story. Some but not all of the reasons why I believe there might be more to the story are based on decades of life ex

Sure, that's the publicly-reported story. Is it sufficient? Hard to tell from the outside. Just a tiny bit of blackmailer-sabotage or vandal mischief-making – the sort of thing often underreported for legitimate reasons! – could'v

Of course any major RDBMS would have no problem with the data. If the reports here are accurate, you could fit the last 5-20 years of all NOTAM messages into the RAM of a Raspberry Pi running SQLite. But if that's enough, why hasn&#x

You're right that the main challeges are political & bureaucratic inertia. That shouldn't stop us from honestly & plainly describing its core, & the industry's state-of-the-art for similar systems that don't

Any bog-standard database might work. But if so, curious the FAA hasn't just done that: say, SQLite replicated across many places. But the centralized team running it could still "fat-finger" it. Any "master DB" s

If the instructive content is invalid, you send a invalidation message. But if there's a violation of constraints , modern practice (both in and outside crypto projects) can do a pretty good job of precluding it, with test cases, wi

Crypto-skeptics downvoted my previous suggestion ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34349576 ) that NOTAM's sort of simple textual bulletin log – perhaps not even 150MB of data per year! – could be implemented as a d

This is great stuff, thanks! Can't shake the feeling a tiny team of professional modern software/system designers, paired with some aerospace old hands, could create a far-better (but also backward-compatible) system in short orde

Thanks! It looks like individual messages are rarely more than one, under-80-character line long. So we're talking, (1.5M * 80 bytes=) 120MB a year, uncompressed. (With the tiny controlled-vocabulary, maybe 6x compression possible?) Ev

Crypto-authenticated update & replication works really, really well nowadays. Lots of open-source support, extensive testing, proven track records even in adversarial deployments. Especially for a simple log-like system, with a limited

AFAICT, this NOTAM system is a nationwide bulletin-board, using some cryptic standard abbreviations (to save space as if they were paying 1990s SMS), usually filtered by locale/coordinates/path, so pilots have the latest news hat

Sure, but funds leaving were deposits held for others, so outflows reduce assets & liabilities in perfect sync. That results in no decrease in book value, so word choice "bleeding" a bit of a reach to create extra drama.

Beautiful, but tip for Ledger team: pics & video should include more common items for size reference. Even placing alongside some-generic-iPhoneish-smartphone isn't a great help, as those now vary in size so much. Here's a tho

Are you assuming Samsung's updates rigorously use SSL, with proper certificate checking, or do you know that to be the fact? These sorts of consumer-device companies often take other unwise security-through-obscurity, or only &quot

Why not? Do the Android packages Samsung sends to its own TVs use a different key or security mechanism? (Do we expect Samsung better protects its TV keys, than its smartphone keys?)
