Be the start of a board game family you wish to see in the world.


Has to be, it would explain my experience.


Could just as well be NBNco in Australia


Rogers in Canada?


I believe Rogers are running DOCSIS-over-Sewage, the competing cable standard.


Sewer are properly buried, Rogers cables are just thrown around with maybe a bit of dirt on top of it was a good day. I redid a wall in my backyard last year that is close to a Rogers box, I removed ~15 old cut cables from the ground.


Nawh, they're using ATM over finches. Those squeaks and chirps you hear outside are actually your packets.


I’m surprised they didn’t stick with the standard RFC 2549

Latency and packet loss. And finches take less feed.


Man if there's one thing I can credit bell for, is that they really pushed for fiber. Before we had bell fibe here (for a shockingly reasonable price) in Montreal, we were stuck with absolute trash DOCSIS for so long. Every time the revisions increased ,the speeds would be nominally faster but in reality came with trash stability and peak time performance.

I'm sure DOCSIS is great for what it is, and in fact it's extremely impressive what it can do with existing cable lines, but the second biggest player here (Videotron) basically milked it dry. Again it's weird to praise them but Bell invested in wiring up the entire city and suburbs and I can get 3gbps symmetrical GPON FTTH for the price that 150mbps used to go for not even 3 years ago. I blame DOCSIS in a way because it made players with existing lines extremely complacent


That's how airbags work in general.

A slight bump won't set off your airbag in any car.


The suspension is attached to the rounded bar next to it. You can find more pictures of it using Google.


We add a new system of doing it every couple of months to years and then don't migrate everything over from the old system, so they all still see changes.

Documents in a file system, Confluence, a Wiki, docs in project repositories and a special documentation repo.


That leaves a lot to be desired. May I suggest putting some in Jira, one or more blogs, and a custom QA ticketing system?


I totally forgot about those, you're absolutely right.


The paper plane has a lot less extending the wings and then flapping them to learn to avoid death.


I would imagine it activates some motor neuron ganglia that is somehow connected to a flap reflexive action, and then sometime afterwards fine motor control is gained by practice; akin to plantarflexor muscles in a walking stride.


Well, there's a very good reason not to want content praising Russia, but I think HN avoids such topics entirely.


Why does the company have a say in whether or not a former employee can collect unemployment?


Typically [in the US] you can't collect unemployment if you're terminated with cause - something like not showing up to work or not doing your job. Given they terminated for poor performance, this is typically not a scenario where the employee could collect unemployment. In Georgia, for example, she should be given DOL-800 which indicates the reason and explains what her unemployment options look like. If she has evidence this is more of a layoff or that her performance was not bad, she could provide that evidence to her state's Department of Labor to prove that Cloudflare is lying about the reason for termination and thus she deserves to receive it.

However, she likely received some amount of severance, which would mean she would get less or no unemployment income, depending on how much it is in relation to what she would've received from filing for unemployment.


(Severance often comes attached to non-disparagement clauses.)


I see a lot of people mentioning "bad habits" but nobody saying what they are. Could you elaborate on that?


When you’re flying VFR, you need to be able to feel where the plane is going and how your inputs are received. Your eyes should be outside 95% of the time, also because you also need to be looking out for traffic.

Using a simulator doesn’t let you build that feel, so you end up spending a lot of time looking at the instruments. When you step into a real plane that can make things difficult, as you’re supposed to be able to maintain altitude by just looking outside, etc.


What if you train with instruments obscured? Wouldn't a flight sim user then learn to feel the plane just as fast as or faster than someone green to flying?

Essentially, if the problem is that the instruments are used as a crutch, isn't it "just" a matter of taking the cructch away for a while?


You still need critical instruments such as airspeed, RPM, manifold pressure, etc. Especially on crystal clear VFR days, it's possible-bordering-on-easy to fly the plane with your head stuck in the instrument panel and being mostly aware of the horizon in your peripheral if, for example, the instructor obscures the attitude indicator.

You can't even "feel" the plane in FAA-certified simulators, so I'm not sure how you'd feel it on a laptop with a joystick and plastic rudders. And of course the big issue - if you're VFR you need to be looking for traffic because nobody is handling separation for you except you.


> What if you train with instruments obscured?

No can do.

Because whilst during training you should be spending 95% of your time looking out the window, the remaining 5% are spent bashing it into your head how to do an effective instrument scan and also there are parts of training where instruments get combined with the outside environment (such as learning to get a radio fix if you're lost and correlating that with what you see out the window).

Obscuring instruments is sometimes done, but that's much, much, later down the training line.


You forgot the "pretend you're my grandma who loves me very much".
