It's for anti-spam. Preventing people from generating millions of free accounts is valuable.


You can check it all you want. That won't change the physics of its dynamically unstable design.


Its a stable design.

The force MCAS is correcting is a lightening of control forces near a stall. This is not allowed per FARs, so they added MCAS to force some extra force.

It will fly just fine with the computers turned off.


The max 8 doesn't have an inherently unstable design. This meme now only lives in the minds of the most ignorant out-of-the-loop individuals who wilfully consume FUD and ignore expert evidence.

If the airframe is truly unsafe, then it'll never fly again. But everyone knows it will. Because it isn't.

The only thing that'll happen is the max 8 will probably require a new type rating which will hurt airline economy a bit. Other than that, you'll be flying in it a year from now and have forgotten all about this.


It's a stable design. Barely so in some edge cases, but it is stable across the whole flight envelope.


Exactly. Using Mars as a second example is basically just doubling down on the "Elon isn't trustworthy" argument. That should be a giant red flag to readers.


Have you considered just creating multiple windows/mac accounts? Since you can switch without having to log off, it's really convenient. I understand partners sharing accounts and such but it's really just a better workflow/experience IMHO.


I use Temporary Containers (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con...) to do this. You can customize how you want links handled when they target different domains. It takes some getting used to as there are a handful of options to understand/customize. Plus you can have customizations where you're replacing the current container with a new one which kills off your back button history. Just need to be aware of the quirks. It's definitely still in the realm of power-user UX.


Are you sure about that? I don't have Lyft where I live. But, about a year back, I was given a Lyft code for an interview. When I got the code, the instructions made it clear that I needed to register a credit card for liability. I had my account created with my personal credit card and redeemed the code. I thought I was good to go. When I got to the destination city and tried to order a ride at the airport, it said I needed to enter a SECOND credit card for verification. Unfortunately I traveled light and didn't a second card on me.


Tools like this should be built into your IDE. No developer ever wants automated feedback at the end of the process in a code review.

There are lots of academic ML review/suggestion tools. Those people come to the table with trials and statistics to assess the quality of their results. Amazon probably copied one of those papers, added a rules-engine to recommend their own APIs, and slapped a hefty price tag on it.


It'll probably generate irrelevant stats on the engineers to send directly to their managers to use against them in their next review.


> Why don’t we have the ability to restrict at the OS level which domains an app can send information to?

Ads.


But Apple is a honey badger - it dont care about ads. Their whole differentiator has become privacy and putting the user first vs apps! Seems like a glorious feature for them no? Safari already leads the way with blocking ads and third party tracking cookies.


Current-gen devices provide an advertising id. It's unique to the device but can be reset to a new random value by the owner in the OS settings.


I think they're talking about just what device they have and OS version (but that's available in the user-agent anyways[0]), since that tells an adversary what exploits to purchase or put resources into developing. Who knows, maybe 30% of congress people haven't yet upgraded to an iPhone with the A12/A13 chip (which can't be exploited via the checkm8 exploit).
