They still are very ahead — of course, the Merlin and RS-25 are amazing designs, but they're still more of the brute-force American methodology that made the Saturn V so brutally effective at travelling to the moon. The Russian aerospace industry has always tried to approach rocketry with a lot more emphasis on finesse, precision, and clever engineering solutions — the astonishing reliability of the Soyuz is a testament to this. von Braun and his team at Marshall always pulled off amazing technological feats, but at the expense of greatly increased complexity and less efficiency. That legacy has largely carried on to the present day; I hope that this newer generation of American LVs (Falcon 9.1R, Vulcan) will turn things around in the opposite direction.

Did you not read all the comments here from people from poor, rural families for whom the post resonated? Many, if not most of them are likely white (some even explicitly stated it).

What exact privilege does growing up desperately poor in rural West Virginia bring you? A person from a middle class black family in NYC would have much more opportunity.

Yes, each person would face their own set of challenges (ie, the black person vis-a-vis the police, although believe me that unjustified police brutality happens to white people too). But it's wrong to judge one as being "privileged" based solely on their skin color, without knowing anything about them.

Sadly, I noticed that most of the people shouting "privilege" at others themselves come from very privileged backgrounds, and have learned this attitude at some expensive private liberal arts college. I'm not sure what is driving their crusades (guilt?), but again, I was raised that it's not right to judge people based solely on their skin color, regardless of the rational behind it. And fail as I may sometimes, I will continue to strive toward that goal.

Finally, what about those of us coming from a mixed-race background, with a grandparent or great-grandparent from a "non-privileged" group? If you look hard at some of us, you can see evidence of that group. Are we partially privileged? Or is being privileged a discrete state?
I love how concise this is an handles a lot of "Gotchas" when working with ES6, but can we call a spade a spade and NOT call this a "cheatsheet?"

I think it would be better titled, "ES6 best practices" since I think that's a more accurate description of what it is.

>I realize I'm going to sound absolutely bonkers, ...

At the risk of sounding even more bonkers, The Hunt for Zero Point[0] claims that most UFOs are attributable to an exotic man-made propulsion technology first developed in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

While I don't particularly believe the book's claims, it's worth mentioning because Nick Cook wrote it. Cook was the former aviation editor for Jane's Defence Weekly, which was quite a prestigious position during his tenure.

Though I read the book over a decade ago, I'm still puzzled.

The book basically claims the U.S. launched an anti-gravity program based on technology it extracted from Nazi Germany in the later stages of WW2, and that the subsequent rash of UFO sightings in the U.S. were related. Supposedly the technology then started to make its way into the mainstream[1], and was abruptly quashed.

It also advanced a couple of theories suggesting the B-2 bomber is more than the public was led to believe—ranging from having hypersonic propulsion capability at altitude (unlikely), to a more benign theory of an electrified leading edge for both aerodynamic and stealth purposes. If I recall, the latter theory required the use of a highly toxic substance, and I could see that given the Air Force's troubled history[2] with stealth coating toxicity.

The book also made claims of seemingly impossible transmutations being conducted by a fringe experimenter in his apartment, using high-voltage electricity. I'm sure there was more crazy stuff I failed to mention.

The reason the book continues to puzzle me is that, while it's easy to just say "Nick Cook went off the deep end", that isn't necessarily true. Despite the book being published in 2003, Cook remained as a consultant to Jane's from 2002 until 2008. In 2006 he uncovered a classified high-altitude UCAV program[3] by digging through budget requests. Now he runs his own consultancy[4]. Not exactly crazy.

My opinion is that while the majority of the book is probably not true, Cook may have been on to something. What exactly I'm unsure, other than that when you apply ridiculous amounts of electricity to objects in novel state or material configurations, you get interesting results. Whether that means there's some long-running government conspiracy to conceal such things is another question.

Huh? ULA's heavy lift capability is dependent on the Delta IV (specifically the Heavy variant), which does not use Russian engines. ULA's most economic launcher, Atlas V, uses Russian engines however.
We are in full agreement that risk and reward go together. In fact, my suggestion is a way to shift more risk and more reward onto investors.

If I impose the condition that investors get paid only after employees get paid, I expect that I'll get investment at a lower valuation. Which means greater upside for investors if the company becomes a big success.

Alternatively, if each employee's upside is limited, then that leaves more of the money (again if the company succeeds) for investors.

In either case, the goal is to shift more risk AND reward onto investors, not only risk.

However, I wouldn't have gotten this role without another credential I got (front-end certification at Free Code Camp); without that credential I wouldn't have been able to apply for the job.

The same wouldn't be said of Udacity, but I did need to attend office hours more than a few times. Had I not had access to office hours, I may not have continued on with my free curriculum. There's only so many times you can bang your head on the wall alone before you give up on something. But if you have someone else there to help you when you need it, then you can get past barriers more easily.

Protip: do as much of the free courses you can until you get stuck. Then enroll. They might hate me for saying that, but even Mike Wales (curriculum developer at Udacity) suggested that :)

By same token investors should be assured only a % of their principal in case of down rounds. You want the big payoff you have to take the big risk.

To be assured the whole principal or 2X is ensuring that the risk is transferred to other parties.
> That's the point - being invisible is a privileged state.

So compared to a rich, white expat in some African or Asian country, the typical resident of said country is privileged? Because in that country, compared to the expat, the resident is essentially invisible, and the white expat is decidedly not invisible.

And many people will treat the expat with suspicion, or worse. Are all of those people "privileged", and the expat "not privileged"?

CPC 632 disagrees with you. California is a two-party consent state when it comes to recording of conversations, but it does not require consent of both of the communicating parties if "...the parties to the communication may reasonably expect that the communication may be overheard or recorded." [0]

I expect that you'd be hard-pressed to find a judge who would buy your theory that someone screaming out in public on the street corner would not reasonably expect that their communication might be overheard... regardless of to whom they were addressing their screams.

AFAIK, telecommunications law does not cover shouting-with-one's-vocal-cords-without-electronic-assistance-in-public. Do you have court decisions or rulings (that were not later overturned) that say otherwise?

This is awesome. A great compliment to the work SpaceX is doing. To put it in perspective this rocket went about 100x as high as an average international airline flight but would still need to go about 4000x as far to reach the moon. Not sure about the 3 mile per hour impact with the ground on my way home from work. I suppose with a nice soft seat it would be fine but by the time United Airlines gets done with it you'll be packed in like an NYC cross town bus with a seat just as hard.

My hunch is that most angels have random deals come to them, and most of those not being the specialty of this person, get tossed aside.

Then there is a group of angels who tag-team, and if one finds a deal he can't grasp, he would redirect to another member of the team. 12 people cold cover an area of expertise that's 12 times larger.

At least that's what I think should be happening... Does it?

There's no real way a turker would know if the data is bad. Really only the merchandiser at HQ who was checking with the supplier would have had the source data (dimensions, units for those dimensions, case quantities, and so on) or warehouse workers who actually receive the product and can physically look at it. Suppliers sometimes change product attributes, quantity per case or pallet, or packaging without giving advance notice so the warehouse often ends up making these updates as they notice them, if they do. Data quality in supply chains is a constant struggle for many companies. It sounds like Target got hit bad with this due to a perfect storm of poorly trained merchandisers and SAP having dummy data that probably looked somewhat reasonable to the untrained eye.

Aerospace vehicles are designed in a hierarchy with a whole lot of individuals specializing in one piece of one subsystem, but by the nature of aircraft everything is very codependent. You can't just design thermo, avionics, structures, aero, payload, etc. in a vacuum; the tiniest details of one subsystem have reverberating effects in all of the others.

At the top you usually have a set of old guys (you might have read Skunk Works, those old guys are Kelly Johnson and Ben Rich in that book) but in this case Musk and likely a few others... a set of people who have to know a little bit about everything and enough to drive the important piece of engineering of the moment towards a successful project.

There is no such duty in law. What they have to do is operate in accordance with the mission statement in the annual report and this is decided by the shareholders at the AGM.

If this said "we will pay maximum taxes in host countries where we operate" then shareholders could sue them for not doing that.

What are you talking about? These treaties exist to give a fair treatment to companies and individuals that do not cheat on the scale.
> RFC 793 and RFC 1122 both include Jon Postel's famous robustness
principle, also from RFC 791: "Be liberal in what you accept, and
conservative in what you send."

Which is complete nonsense that doesn't justify anything and only casts suspicion on the muddled reasoning.

The correct principle is: be conservative in what you send, and loudly reject nonconforming, out-of-spec input.

"Be liberal in what you accept" results in situations like some broken piece of HTML, CSS or JavaScript working in seven diffrent ways on seven different browsers.

> However, the phrasing in RFC 793 does not permit sending resets in response to TCP packets with a non-zero Reserved field, as is explained in the section above.

Non-zero in a reserved field that has no meaning now, and should be loudly diagnosed as an error until such a time that it has a meaning. Resetting a connection is a good facsimile of such a diagnostic.

Just like in a C program if you use a name like __foo that is reserved, cows can fly out of your nose; but diagnosing it is better: diagnosing it now, while it has no meaning. Once __foo gets a meaning, it will be too late.

If connections are reset when their machines send packets which infringe on reserved fields, they will quickly learn to fix things so that their machines stop sending that. Then when the time comes, it will be possible to actually assign a use to a previously reserved field.

If everyone uses a reserved field willy-nilly and never gets punished with RST's, it will be difficult to impossible to introduce a standard new use for that field. Hosts receiving the field will not know whether they are getting a genuine request with the new meaning of the field, or whether they are getting garbage which is a continuation of the widespread abuse of the field. And at that time, it will no longer be possible to send a RST due to the ambiguity, right? The time to spew a RST in the face of the offending systems is today.

The original meaning of RST is to inform the sender that they are sending data for a connection that doesn't exist. Sending a RST for a nonzero value of a field is a logical extension of this: it's a piece of data destined for something that doesn't exist: namely, the meaning of that field! The bits aren't, ahem, connecting with a meaning. See?

Really, what is the point of a rule that is not enforced? If sender are supposed to leave something zero, but nobody checks that and takes any action against nonconforming senders, why document such a requirement at all?
