You must have missed the recent city council election, then. The parent comment is spot on

Three AoA sensors is still not enough to generate a confident consensus to allow an autopilot system capable of crashing the plane to function

On Lufthansa 1829, two of the three AOA sensors on an A321 erroneously agreed, causing a system similar to MCAS to kick in[1]

The sensors can fail due to being frozen, or also be damaged by birds traveling in flocks

Already underway[1]. It's completely viable, it just needs investment and commitment.

Care to cite? I'm curious

>Now with iMessage in iCloud, I do not know how the E2E encryption is done

It isn't done. Apple holds the master keys. The trust is that the iCloud server is not compromised.

Everything they have published shows that you can delete search history, among other things. They recently released a feature which is effectively a TTL on searches, for retention purposes.

>If the two remaining disagreed then the system would be disabled.

It seems like two sensors is not enough; nor are three. I'm curious whether it would be reasonable and feasible to add five to an aircraft

Slack is one of the most bloated apps on my computer, and my smartphone.

On both, it takes seconds to boot, and that's just to load the local cache. Syncing with the main server takes a few more seconds.

It has some good UI patterns. But overall, it's heavy and slow. It takes longer to load than the previous chat clients I used.

I'm in the same boat, and thinking of some sort of open source utility which will bridge rsync and AWS Glacier.

Meanwhile, Washington is at 29%[1] of the thirty year average. That's nearly an order of magnitude different from California's, which is just a quick drive away. Things are getting weird.

This works until two sensors fail in the same direction:

>The aircraft's computers received conflicting information from the three angle of attack sensors. The aircraft computer system’s programming logic had been designed to reject one sensor value if it deviated significantly from the other two sensor values. In this specific case, this programming logic led to the rejection of the correct value from the one operative angle of attack sensor, and to the acceptance of the two consistent, but wrong, values from the two inoperative angle of attack sensors. This resulted in the system's stall protection functions responding incorrectly to the stall, making the situation worse, instead of better.

You're right, and with that said I think you have some pretty interesting thoughts on this.

At first glance this is way too much to read for a comment. Consider a Medium post.

I agree with most of this post, while I feel it may be hand-waving away from of the details.

For example,

>changing out my furnace for a heat pump is not going to have a big impact on how I live my life

A heat pump is a significant investment which would put the majority of American families into financial turmoil. There needs to be much larger government incentive for these units, for reducing this 12% of emissions to be viable.

That was ~125 km/h (78 mph)

I don't have a strong opinion either way on this company (usually enjoy going to their stores), but it seems odd how many of these comments are rave reviews of them, bordering on advertisement.

Kind of promotional material.

Any take on how this looks for someone who doesn't work at Amazon?

I know Apollo is their deployment tool. No idea how they plays into a Kubernetes or even container stack.

Since it's in the healthcare space, have you considered hiring a consulting team? Or at least a firm? What other Hacker News readers use for authentication is largely irrelevant since we don't usually work on HIPAA-compliant applications.

>Then who are the creditors? If every country paid their debt, where would the money end up?

At least in the US, most of the funds would end up in private citizens or corporations in the form of treasury bond repayments.

Don’t forget your electricity provider as well. Of course you could run a solar system and mesh WiFi.

I see this browser as a skin on top of Chrome, much like Opera or (now) Edge. Hearing that it's 22% faster tells me it had a 22% overhead over the Chromium rendering engine.

What am I missing? I'm struggling to see serious innovation on display here - and I read TFA. The article is 99.9% a discussion on testing methodology, and not an analysis of the changes to Brave's core which may have resulted in the performance improvements.

As far as I'm concerned, Chromium released a more performant rendering engine and Brave merged it into their branch.

Context?

Demand almost never changes. Most bus routes are still virtually identical to the streetcar routes they replaced.

And the required infrastructure for light rail creates more demand for development along the line, as the rail itself signals more permanence to developers: they do not worry about it moving in a decade, like a bus route could.

Same in Vancouver, BC. The Lions Gate bridge has reversible lanes toggled by overhead signs.

There is literally no attention given to typography. This version lacks a stylesheet and does not have inline font declarations.

Does this include the energy in the refined gas itself?

Companies that use AWS are not owned by Amazon. WFM is. There is a big difference there.

Distributing them would imply it's a top-down company-sponsored/encouraged protest and not a grassroots event that the company permits.

Even still, having to wear company swag if done offsite was just an example of why it occurred on their campus. There are many other reasons to have had it on their campus rather than at LAX - including time away from office, the photos of having it at their campus, so on.

If they went to an airport and weren't organized with shirts/etc. (which given short notice would be extremely unlikely), they would just look like a group of protestors. Doing it on the Google campus, they look like Googlers - which I think is the intent.
