A fuel imbalance happening twice is not a "recurring issue". It's a problem that wasn't fixed correctly. It may or may not concern you, depending on your level of knowledge about aviation, to know that when it comes to r

So just to understand this correctly, you're saying that a type that the FAA certified in 1982, and a specific aircraft of that type that has flown safely for about the last 25 years, should be viewed with a red flag because of the 737

Delta would probably argue that they schedule their older frames on this route because of lower yield [0]. And you're right — political toy-spitting is one way to try to influence the decision away from the pure economics of the route.

Well, I wouldn't be too happy to board it when they had a pilot shortage, since I wouldn't be going anywhere. With the fuel imbalance though? Sure. It would be quite inconvenient to spend two hours in flight only to end up back wh

As I said, multiple turn-backs for the same frame inside a week are rare but not unheard of. Given the reason for the turn-backs, I don't agree that this is evidence of an objective safety concern. Components are expected to fail in se

Indeed, it has many routes, but it tends to skew towards leisure destinations. Also, Heathrow has the vast majority of the premium demand, so, for example, airlines that have aircraft with a First[0] cabin will schedule those aircraft to He

Solana claims to prove that a certain duration of time has passed, which is a different and much stronger claim than just temporal ordering. The details of their claims, last I heard (which was some talks in Berlin years ago) were extreme

Are they still using that hand-wavy "cryptographic proof that a duration of time has passed"?

I think consolidation has also lead to this knowledge/experience, at least among younger engineers, being siloed in larger companies rather than spread out among many smaller companies. I started in the industry when the Internet was s

This. Prestige is part of it, but considering that ACC has only a couple of North American routes and a handful of European routes, a flight to Heathrow is a huge win: it brings one-stop connectivity to most of the world. By contrast, a fli

There is no evidence for an objective concern though. Ghana is not in a better position to know anything about the safety of this airframe than the FAA or Delta themselves, and Ghana has a long history of politically-motivated actions in av

To be fair, it only takes out the core feature for people using Stripe Tax, which is apparently a small fraction of customers.

by jhugo 4y ago
Possibly only a small fraction use Stripe Tax to automatically calculate it. If you're selling internationally it's woefully incomplete, so often not that useful.

A lot of wear items on cars have been hard to repair for a long time. If we're judging "right to repair" by how easy it is to replace, say, a clutch on a front-wheel-drive car, I think computers are already ahead.

We're heavy k8s users at work. We used to use GKE, now we use a mixture of EKS and bare metal after migrating most stuff away from GCP. Honestly, GKE isn't better than k8s anywhere else in any meaningful way at all.

This perspective looks at programming like factory work: output == hours worked * some factor. But in reality, most employers in tech that have allowed some or all employees to reduce their hours have found no productivity loss, or in some

This is likely running JS in the same way that some embedded GSM modules "run Python". It uses the language syntax and semantics, but uses a different, small runtime with very limited features. Probably there are some host objects

Honestly, Amazon having the floorplan to my house concerns me far more than the PLA having it. If a state actor wanted the floorplan to my house, they don't need a backdoor to my robot vac to find it out.

They should have done a deal with Xiaomi or one of the other Chinese brands instead. They're honestly light-years ahead with indoor mapping & navigation. I bought a top-of-the-line Roomba when I moved to London a few years ago and

I think it's a big assumption that the ROI of tests in general is in the same ballpark as the ROI of static analysis. In my experience, many tests written in commercial software engineering have ~zero or even negative ROI. This mostl

Seems quite likely to me that the AGI hucksters won't deliver the goods before we're able to make the planet inhospitable for ourselves. Risky bet, in any case.

git is effectively a blockchain. Trying to use a blockchain for this has many of the same problems as described in GP's comment.
