And one day a right wing government will shut down left wing speech they call "hate speech" or "harmful" and your "reason" will take flight to the winds.
Won't work. The reason multiplayer games work over the internet is game engines compensate for latency by prediction. But when I move my mouse I don't want to wait a third of a second for the view to change. The problem with Google is they test everything on local 10G networks with near zero latency and the servers are walking distance away. Then they produce these abortions of products that are killed off 2 years later.
Yeah basic input lag is about as enticing as a 2KG chunk of a plastic helmet strapped to my head.
I bet in 10 years time we will still be playing on a PC with a GPU and a monitor on the desk.
Yup, as someone who wrote action networked games when I was in gamedev this is pretty on point. You're not going to get any chance at latency correction so jitter(which tends to be bursty) on the connection is going to really hurt you.
> or embed it in their applications (whether they ship those applications to customers or run them as a service). They can even run it as a service internally. The one and only thing that you cannot do is offer a commercial version of CockroachDB as a service
Great so I will write a little shim that loads libcockroach and call it TermiteDB and I'm set.
Intent matters in the law, and judges see right through transparent attempts to evade the spirit of agreements on a frequent basis. They aren't stupid.
The redesign did not make the aircraft unstable. I don't know how this became such a meme, but it's trivial to see that it's not true. Commercial passenger aircraft must be aerodynamically stable by FAA regulation: https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?node=14:1.0.1.3.11#se1...
The engine change really wasn't a big deal. The net effect is "flight stick feels lighter at high AoA with high thrust." That's it. My understanding is that the 737-MAX flys more like a 757 in this regard. Nothing crazy, just a difference.
Now, that's enough to require re-certification by FAA standards, because it's enough of a difference that it could cause problems of pilot error. But going on like the aircraft wants to fall out of the sky isn't helping anyone here.
MCAS was intended to be a small tweak that avoids the re-cert. And it would have been fine if they had neutered the system such that it couldn't input such extreme trim angles, or else has more reliability as needed in a system that could have such dramatic effects when malfunctioning.
The meme comes from the fact that according to the technical definition of aerodynamic stability, the MAX has pitch instability at high AoA.
FAA certification regulations appear to be willing to accept minor deviance in regard to them so long as they can be convinced there are sufficient technological controls in place to manage the instability.
This is the danger of self-certification by the way. The company signs off that everything is fine, and the regulator is blissfully unaware they've been rused until after people have already died.
Rather unfortunate customer service experience that you can't get help from the actual support and you can't get help from the official Twitter account. You just need to pray that your Twitter thread gets noticed hard enough for the actual co-founder to notice it so they can make the call that saves your company.
Also, even the co-founder doesn't seem to know exactly why the service was suspended, even though he clearly managed to arrange things.
Right? I hate that justice in these cases relies on the person tweeting and then that tweet hooking on and getting popular on Hacker News. So depressing.
