Kubevirt is great, but, I'm not sure why you wouldn't just run weechat inside a container.

There's nothing so special about weechat that it wouldn't work and you can just exec into the container and attach to tmux.

Running tmux/screen inside a container is definitely cursed, but, it works surprisingly well.

I'm sure they aren't exactly angry that they are stuck there, but, they were planning on a 9-day tour.

They are missing spouses, birthdays, weddings, they will miss thanksgiving and christmas with their families.

I'm sure it's great to be there and they are lucky to be there, but, it must also suck to miss out, especially unexpectedly and when you have no real choice in the matter.

I have a https://sleep.me/, it keeps you cool at night and then raises the temperature to wake you.

I have it set to warm wake me ~15m before my alarm goes off, and I'm virtually always awake before the alarm.

You seem to be agreeing that our government is not competent enough to handle Boeing from an oversight perspective, let alone actively running the company.

I agree with both of your points, the government should never have allowed the McDonnell Douglas merger (I assume that's what you mean) and I can't possibly agree more that the FAA's "self certification" regime was a hilariously bad concept which was made worse by their implementation.

> The component “didn’t perform as designed,”

What they are saying here is that the component was designed to X, but, not manufactured to those specifications.

Depending on who made that actual component, this is either a failure of Boeing directly or a failure of Boeing to ensure that their suppliers have adequate processes in place to capture these kinds of problems.

This is actually a much more serious failure than a design failure because the problem can't easily be systemically addressed, there is no single component they need to address now. Boeing can not simply say "we checked the other engine mounts in production and they are fine". Even saying that they addressed the issue with the production of that component is insufficient. The real root cause here is why any component which did not meet design specifications was accepted and allowed to be installed on the aircraft. Boeing will need to do a huge review to understand this and may need to inspect and replace huge numbers of other, seemingly unrelated, components.

Our government is not competent enough to do that.

Much of the issues Boeing has are as a result of government involvement.

Just look at the entire starliner debacle, in any truly free market Boeing would have been fired as a vendor years ago. They were (and are) way behind schedule, their unmanned demo flight was a failure, they still went forward with a manned flight which has been an abject failure -- the crew is on month three of what was supposed to be a 3 hour^W^W9 day tour. They might not be coming home till February. I hope they have someone watering their plants.

The amount of Boeing failures is so problematic, it points to the kind of cultural failure within the company where in almost every other circumstance it should just be shut down and sold for parts.

The problem is that that is such an unacceptable situation that it can't ever be allowed to happen.

Boeing is a huge employer in the US, not even counting all the direct subsidiaries who would shut down if it was shut down.

Boeing is developing critical space hardware for NASA. As great as SpaceX is, the US should not rely on a single company for this. I don't think even SpaceX wants this.

If Boeing did fail, that leaves Airbus as the only commercial jet manufacturer? I don't think anyone, including Airbus and definitely not any airline which has used the airbus-boeing dance during price negotiations wants this to happen.

Not to even mention the supply chain issues with keeping our massive fleets of Boeing airplanes flying if Boeing goes defunct.

We also have to consider the defense implications of loosing what is now our only serious domestic manufacturer of many military aircraft and other ordinance.

Boeing literally can not be allowed to fail, the implications would be too great. I also literally see no other path for Boeing but failure.

I also think out of the ashes of that failure something much more focused and better would emerge and that, without that failure, it probably never will but still the failure cannot be allowed to happen.

Not exactly a single point of failure.

It's obviously not good if one fails and the engine falls off the plane, but, a 777X should still be able to fly with a single engine.

Of course, that capability is more geared to "we saw a high temperature on the engine so let's proactively shut it down and land as soon as we can" and not "the engine fell off the plane and landed on someone".

Make your sponsored segments worth watching.

I watch a bunch of travel vlog channels and for the most part they advertise the same things (If I ever see another athletic greens sponsor segment or a four sigmatic ad I will scream -- I even actually LIKE four sigmatic products) but I have several channels whitelisted in SponsorBlock because the ads they do are hilarious.

Watch some of their videos and you will see what I mean. I was watching the channel for a year or more before watching a video while sponsorblock API was down (it's volunteer run so it happens sometimes) and realized I was missing out on a really hilarious and important part of their videos, instant whitelist!

> We can see exactly how federal agencies would or would not abuse their authority

I would argue that federal agencies have absolutely spent those decades abusing their authority.

I was trying to soften my opinion. I very much agree with you.

I agree that we are deeply dysfunctional but it's not about "outcomes vs process"

It's a very short-sighted thinking of how the process change they want to achieve their outcome today could result in someone else using that same process change for a very bad outcome in the future.

While I agree with you in principle, that the friction is "as designed," I still say our system is broken -- even when there are things which a supermajority of people agree on, our legislators are unable to craft solutions which align which the majority of people agree with, without inserting things which are designed to cater to tiny minority special interests, which can effectively "poison pill" a bill so that nobody likes it (even if it's passed).

Alternatively, we pass giant tomes of legislation (esp budgets) which literally nobody can understand let alone agree on.

Comments like this, where someone who is directly involved and deeply knowledgable, randomly jumps in are why I love HN.

People are so fixated on a result (in this case lowering CO2 emissions) that they can't see past that to consider the actual fundamental legal principles of court decisions, especially supreme court ones. I see this as a failure of our legislative branch, they are incapable of legislating effectively and people look to the courts to achieve their desired ends. Moreover it seems like people don't consider the negative effects if courts decided cases in the other direction (e.g. how federal agencies could abuse their authority if Chevron had been upheld).

I try to read the actual decisions, especially for Supreme Court ones, especially when I superficially disagree with the result and I very rarely end up disagreeing with the decisions. It's bizarre to me how the media only reports on how they disagree with the result (which is a legitimate opinion) and completely fail to discuss, debate or report on the legal theory behind the decision, they commonly seem to not even report on the actual legal question being decided! I have never seen a single mainstream news article which correctly casts blame on congress for failing to legislate effectively or unambiguously.

The file was just full of null bytes.

It's very possible the signature validation and verification happens after the bug was triggered.

Drinking 1000 calorie milkshakes filled with HFCS and artificial flavors and colors disguised as coffee on a regular basis is not good for your health.

I'm far from a coffee snob (I buy most of my coffee from Costco) but the problem is that starbucks over-roasts their beans, so, anything without sugar and milk added tastes bitter.

This is a bit confusing to me for a few reasons but makes sense if they meant "the datacenter" instead of "the nuclear plant"

Why would the datacenter care (w/r/t the ISA) if the nuclear plant had backup generation?

Moreover, the nuclear plant MUST have backup power because in the event of a grid failure causing a shutdown, the cooling pumps must continue to run for a specific period of time.

Modern reactor designs have made it so that reactors don't need as much cooling, or for as long, and can even use waste heat from the reactor for that purpose, or have designed things such that even without active cooling they "fail" in a safe way but none of these are good and a reactor needs backup power. No way the NRC or any sane designer/operator would allow a reactor without it.

If they are talking about the datacenter not being allowed to have "automatically running backup power generation" this still seems very odd to me. Why would the nuclear plant operators care if the datacenter has generators or not? It won't materially impact the amount of energy they buy and as long as the plants can supply power to the datacenter (regardless of which reactor its from) they won't even notice or care about it.

The whole situation seems unnecessarily obfuscated to me and it's very hard to see if it's a case of PJM being annoyed that this load will bypass their grid and therefore bypass their "tax" on it, or, a case where Talen and Amazon are trying to pull a fast one by relying on the grid without paying their fair share of grid costs.

> Each of the station's two reactors has 1,350 MW available, and Amazon is already able to use 480 MW, and up to 960 MW in the future. If one of the reactors experiences an outage, the ISA says the datacenter is first in line for power from the other reactor, which leaves PJM with far less electricity than normal. That in turn would mean a lower energy supply for PJM's customers, who would have to pay more, at least according to the complaint's reasoning.

> The Talen-PJM ISA states that in this event, the nuclear datacenter will separate from the plant and get its power elsewhere, but AEP and Exelon are skeptical and want to know how exactly that would work.

This seems fairly simple for Amazon/Talen to answer, if they have a good answer for it.

"we are also installing 960MW of Diesel generators"

"this datacenter is 95% spot capacity and we will just EPO that if we lose power"

Lots of options. Simple to answer.

Exactly. I use BitWarden for this reason.

Also testing using postgres-native uuid generation

That extra "e" would represent a 20% bloat in the functions name, bytes aren't free you know.

I haven't answered my phone for anyone not in my VIP list in a year or two.

I can see when someone is calling and in realtime see them leaving a voicemail via speech-to-text and pick up the call if I want but 99.999% of the time it's spam.

Manipulating actual flight controls is probably hard.

Manipulating sensors is probably comparably easy, and, if you can adjust the AOA sensors to make the plane think its in level flight while spoofing altitude data, you can probably manipulate the pilots (auto or not) into a CFIT.

It's happened on other flights where pilots became confused by conflicting information (AF447 and many others) so giving them consistently wrong data is going to cause a consistently bad output.

Anyway though I deeply agree that once you have physical access all bets are off. Sure, you can put a bug in which causes a complicated aircraft failure but you could also just put a time-delayed container of thermite or tannerite in the right place.

I'd be much more worried about a software update causing a major issue, either intentionally or even more likely and more worrying, accidentally ALA 737Max.

I did this for years with a beefy arbor press (just for mechanical drives).

For our scale at the time (destroying 10s of drives a month) it worked fine and it was a great stress reliever.

Get off a frustrating customer call? Go take 15 and take it out on the stack of drives needing destruction.

It's possible it just melts the relay, possible there is logic to notice and open it, or possible just nothing happens.

There are other products I've used (https://www.amazon.com/MultiRelay-ZEN16-Sprinklers-Fireplace...) which don't have that issue because they handle the pulse logic internally, you set a z-wave option which says "pulse output 1 for 200ms" and then you call a trigger which says "pulse output 1" vs "output 1 on, wait 200ms, output 1 off"

Using that for some years on my garage door opener to make my "smart" garage door smart without paying them $20/month or whatever the stupid fee was.

> Could Obama be prosecuted for ordering drone strikes that unintentionally killed two Americans?

How about the one which intentionally killed an American child (16)?

Part of me wouldn't mind seeing that, but, I would have to agree that was an official act, regardless of how despicable it was.

My understanding of the case was that he consensually visited prostitutes in Sweden, which is legal, where he engaged in consensual sex with them.

Again, consensually, he did this without wearing a condom.

However, under Swedish law, that is rape and the charge is against the customer (not the provider).

So, yes, the women agreed on the facts of the case (Assange showed up and we had sex without a condom) but it was entirely consensual though illegal.

While I do have some understanding of why Sweden has a law like this (to encourage condom use) I don't think it fits anyones conventional definition of rape and under normal circumstances this would not be an offense that the Swedish government would be extraditing someone for (it's a nominal fine in most cases).

Please if I misunderstood something let me know, because, it has been years since I significantly researched this and it's one of the most politicized cases in memory.

In fairness, ULA has done that too.

Also literally everything Destin/SmarterEveryDay puts online is worth watching.

"move fast and break things" is an excuse for how this could have happened (not that i'm defending it) but the last bits of the article...

> the rabbit team is aware of this leaking of api keys and have chosen to ignore it. the api keys continue to be valid as of writing

That's just damning. Making the mistake is one thing, but, having it pointed out to you and refusing to fix it is unconscionable.
