As a viewer of the launches, I'd be sad if the broadcast moved out of Hawthorne.

We get to see a sometimes-messy slice of the culture, but we're also seeing how real engineers celebrate a real milestone accomplishment. There's not enough of that visible outside the walls of engineering; people still think of it as a boring profession.

A society gets more of what it celebrates. We should keep highlighting the joys of a gigantic plan coming together.
Which summarizes half the biz model HubSpot is advocating :)
It could be argued that flying to orbit with a first stage that's being reused will be as historical when SpaceX will do it.

The Space Shuttle did reuse SRB casings and the orbiter, it was a bit different but a great achievement too.

However this time there is more potential for cost savings. It can still happen that they can't be realized because of some details or even fundamentals we don't understand from the outside.

Not really (in the USA).

You pay income tax on the profit you made, but you can deduct property taxes, mortgage interest, maintenance expenses, and most importantly - you can deduct the entire value of your house (building, not land) over 27.5 years (at least in NJ). The idea behind that is that you will essentially need to rebuild your entire house after 27 years. However, since you can deduct maintenance costs along the way, you really don’t have to rebuild your entire house all at once, so it works out in the landlord’s favor.

The only down side to the last part is that if you ever decide to sell the property, you need to pay full income tax on the portion of the value of which you have deducted in previous years.

Either way, rental income is taxed fairly with respect to some other forms of business.
People who say the name will get kids into science. It really won't, it will have the opposite effect. And this is obvious, so it's disingenuous to claim that was their reason for voting for it.
Why another extreme? I spend 30-60 min on FB just to check events and answer messages, I don't think that's a waste of time, because it's still the fastest/easiest way to maintain relations with many not-very-close people and get information of the local events. I don't post anything and usually don't read other's posts and I don't go by my real name. I think it's strange that every time discussion about Facebook pops-up, people usually assume that FB users waste immense amount of time on it.

You've basically described Twisted. It's unfortunate that when twisted was initially developed python didn't have some of the syntactic niceness (coroutines, async) that would have made it a bit easier/cleaner to use.
The point here isn't how well it works but the interesting style of code.
That isn't always true. In the U.S. legal system, a person can be granted immunity, and in doing so have their 5th amendment protection against self-incrimination terminated. With that, they could be forced to provide testimony, and refusal could result in fines and jail time without due process for as long as the courts see fit.

Untrue, legally, at least in the UK where at least two incidents that cause you distress are required to have been committed by the same person/group. And then it's up to a judge to decide if the 'distressing' behaviour would be considered distressing by any reasonable person.
If using code from Stack Overflow is plagiarism, then something something glass houses.

I am not a rocket scientist, but:

I think this is only sort of true. Yes, the fueled rocket is much, much heavier. But not all parts of the rocket are load bearing as it sits on the pad waiting for launch. All parts of the rocket experience the 12g (or whatever it was) deceleration.

Also, rocket skins are really, really thin (relative to their size, the forces they endure, etc.) I've read that without the fuel inside to reinforce the rocket, it is quite fragile - think of trying to crush an empty soda can vs a full one. This is part of why rockets which deviate too far from prograde on launch are ripped apart mid-air.
Assuming SpaceX gets to the point where they are re-flying stages a dozen or more times, I might expect to see a discount on a "new" rocket, as opposed to a "tried and true" rocket.

Would you rather be on the first flight an aircraft makes after leaving the factory, or the tenth?
As well as declaring variables in if blocks

That's certainly not a valid concern. There's much simpler ways of serving such a letter.

>I don't exactly think that would be met by "incorrect knowledge" or "false insight"?

sure it would be met. your usage is obviously not what anybody means by profound. your usage suggests someone can say "I just read a really speculative physics paper which might be really profound, if it's true. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to test it today, so it's impossible to know whether it's profound or not. But it would certainly be interesting if it turned out to be profound!"

Go ahead and find a single person online talking in such terms about whether a journal article in a hard science is profound or not, where if it turns out to be true it's profound but if it turns out to be false it's not profound. Profound is a common word. Find a single person using it in science the way you suggest I use it.
> I have a rather faded memory of using a parallel port to transfer files

Indeed. It was called "Laplink" though that was a trademark (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LapLink_cable). In addition to the Laplink brand software there was Interlink which Microsoft bundled with Win95 iirc, FastLynx (FastLink? my memory is also fuzzy), and a bunch of shareware/freeware from the era (I remember simtel).

I was a field service engineer in the early 90's and carried around a six-headed parallel/serial null modem cable just for this. I also got my hands on a few of those (awful) Xircom Parallel-Ethernet adapters some time later and those were just the thing for ruining an entire day getting some awful old machine backed up onto Novell NetWare.
Not a huge amount.

For about 300 million users (just in China) that's about $6.66, or about 40 Yuan, or about 4 minimum fares (paid fare) per user depending on city/type of car.

I've received far more than that in promotions (where the promotional difference from regular and promotional fare isn't deducted from the driver).
"... then it utilizes DnsMasq to proxy all requests to the .dev TLD to sites on your local machine"

This seems a poor choice as local TLD given that .dev is now an actual, real world TLD.

A far better choice, that would have served as a constant reminder of the Valet name, would have been .val

Why You Can’t Lose Weight on a Diet
Here's some rationale on why it's worth using HTTPS for everything, even the less sensitive things:

https://https.cio.gov/everything/

A lot of people focus on targeted surveillance of people visiting individual sites, but there are so many other threats and issues out there. Bulk modification of unencrypted traffic is a particularly nasty one, and has been seen in the wild, at scale, multiple times.
>If you visit any non-https site, then you leave a vector wide open for a MITM to perform numerous types of attacks.

how?
I love this. Another reason to use DDG for all searches initially, and then going to other engines as necessary.

No evidence of receipt. No witness.
I don't know what to think about it. The gradle.org website screams consulting with its slickness and free user guides/books etc. It does not look like honest, no-nonsense build software.

The source code is about 6000 Java files + 3200 groovy files besides many others. To me it appears excessive and over designed software. I will be very reluctant to use a build software which needs 300+ pages user guide.

TBH it is entirely possible that I just do not work on such complex software projects which needs tools like these.
There are historical reasons for that description. And generally it remains accurate. Particularly as those on defined contribution rather than (COLA indexed) defined benefit pensions become more predominant among retirees.

Yes, the IPv6 is a White House (not GSA) mandate, like https://https.cio.gov. It doesn't apply to the legislative or judicial branches, and in that blog post, GSA is advertising the services it can offer other agencies to help them achieve IPv6 compliance.

Yea I think that was a pretty terrible comparison to have on their site. The revolution of LC was they were open to unaccredited investors - no way they wouldve grown like they did if they were limited to just accredited.

Also fundrise invests in real estate and you don't need to be accredited. If you are accredited you can invest in more options on their platform, but it's not closed off to unaccredited.

Hell, my in-laws sing patriotic songs at the dinner table during holidays. They were forced to emigrate in the 60s, settled in the US, worked extremely hard to rebuild their lives, and revere it for the opportunities and freedom it provides.

Space started out as a national effort. Most space travel is still a national effort, both here (NASA) and abroad (national space organizations). Even though it's a private company, and the stakes are well beyond a single country, I can imagine a sense of pride for representing your country well at such huge scale. For these engineers and other staff, this is the Olympics.

In short, people have all sorts of reasons for feeling prid. These folks certainly earned it. Watching others describe variations of hand wringing and alienation seems silly in comparison.
If I was a betting man, I would bet the new "interesting feature" is related to time series. Or maybe that's just my wishful thinking.

> What do you use it for?

The answer to this question is one of the reasons I like Redis so much. It's not one thing, it's many things!

I've used it for a "dumb" cache (key => bytes), a "smart" cache (key => data structure), a message queue, a pub/sub engine, and even a lock manager.

For many of these use cases it's the best, for others, it's more than good enough and not having to add additional infrastructure components to a system is always a plus.
That was an unexpected and delicious bit of Hollywood drama. My first assumption with the flash followed by darkness is that it had impacted too hard and exploded or wrecked the camera. The autobalance stabilizing was a great big-reveal moment.
Could an NSL require you to leave canaries in place?
Any proud chant is problematic only to the degree of pride it conveys for the wrong thing(s). Landing a space ship in 2016 surely warrants significant pride.

Whether the USA is worth praising for this particular success, I'm not as sure. But damn, congrats to everyone involved. You just landed a fucking space ship. Good job.
If Windows Enterprise Licenses were on Amazon then Microsoft could not maximize how much money they make on Windows Enterprise Licenses. They rely on the information asymmetry to charge you as much as they think they can get out of you.
They can name it whatever they want, that ship has been recorded as "Boaty McBoatface" to my memory.

Also really kudos to them, Boaty McBoatface made everyone smile when they heard the name and got them interested; Sir David Attenborough however... doesn't make that effect.
Based on some talks the first lunar landings were way more adventurous and lucky than what SpaceX is doing. Making a snooker trick shot is nice, announcing it and doing it twice is another thing.
Teenagers love when the people of the internet goes viral and manages to collectively upset/ridicule The Man.

Conversely, they really really hate when government bureaucrats show them that democracy can be a farce and people's choices are worthless.

Teenagers are on a complicated phase of life where adults ask them their opinions as if they were adults too, but then when they don't like the answers, use their power to override them. Which is exactly what transpires of this whole process.

Similar story... But not with a human sales person. Went to order github enterprise for our company. Went to Microsoft Asure as one of GHE's recommended hosting partners. The interface was extremely complicated and cloudy. Costs about $200/month for what seems to be a $40-80 VPS anywhere else. Performance is not that great, too. Found out a month later that bitbucket would fit our use case hosted for $10/month. Gitlab would fit our use case hosted for free. Management had insisted on GHE "for consistency".

I would make the decision based on the data available at the time.

It could easily be the case that the initial launches have the lowest failure rate.
It is still the case, as it is in nearly all countries (albeit to a greater degree than most).

The former can be asked of any library / framework. Visit React's website to learn about why it's useful. Others have covered some reasons: it makes reasoning about applications easier and makes falling into composition of (mostly) stateless components the default

The latter is because people might be interested in seeing what's possible in React. Even viewing the page in React's dev tools is interesting and shows the author is also using Redux.
Not trying to come off as a snake, BUT,

Since these trends seem to be at the beginning stages, how would one best capitalize on this?

I feel that actually owning a property is going to become less and less common for people as time goes on, so maybe now is the time to push hard to invest in rental properties? The wealth classes seem to be getting more and more quantized, so I’d like to try my hardest to get myself above the rounding point before it’s too late.

I have a lot of friends who will simply never be able to afford to actually purchase a house. They’re renting and living paycheck to paycheck, which basically means they’re “stuck”, as it’s very hard to save for a down payment for a house at that point.

However, if they were only able to get over the initial hump of getting the down payment, they would be fine, since mortgage payments in many places are less than rent, but I digress…

> self-contained exes

Not really. The VB6 exes required a huge runtime to be installed. Plus all the visual controls lived inside of OLE DLLs als native code and you had to ship these too (and register them on the target machine)

This was the biggest motivator for me to move to Delphi because that actually produced self-contained exes and allowed you to call any Windows API directly without any COM wrappers in between.

And you had a real type system. And pointers. But you still had an easy GUI editor and a very good class library that was incredibly easy to use.
love the way this escalated :)
the problem with saying "users should not publish their ssh keys" is that they will still do it and ping you with requests to remove them even if you have said it's not possible to do it, causing unnecessary support work.

What happened to the Europe of humanism, human rights, democracy and freedom?
Different use cases. This was a GTO launch which means the first stage had way more energy and therefore way tighter margins than the last attempt. This attempt used three engines to land and had a more difficult landing trajectory.
Since when is she worth attention?
We British would never dream of claiming our country was the best at everything - we might grudgingly admit that we get by all right considering - and my impression is that the rest of Europe is similar. Whereas Americans seem to get offended if you suggest there might be anything that another country was better than theirs at. Not to say it's necessarily good or bad but there is a real cultural difference there.
My guess is that they are bridge loans (A “bridge loan” is basically a short term loan taken out by a borrower against their current property to finance the purchase of a new property) which are often much higher rate. That or there is a leverage where there is some structure to the cashflow. So for instance, a loan can pay 4% and can be separated into two pieces, one pays 2% and the other pays 6%. When there is a loss, the 6% would take a bigger loss that the 2% piece.

It's probably the former though since it appears to be very short.

Edit: It's neither:

> As an investor, you’re usually funding loans, which are then used to buy and improve real properties, and you get paid for doing so. But because you’re not competing in the well-developed 30-year residential mortgage market, you can expect to collect annual interest in the 7-10% range, rather than the 3-4% that mortgage securities pay their owners.

So essentially its more like a REIT.

I think they set up a measuring scale and try to judge the size and distance of the released vapor cloud. They're...large. I couldn't imagine a person actually making such a cloud in a normal place, but my idea did come from seeing a person use a vape a couple years ago in a bar, nearly across the room, and the scent carried all the way to me. It was cotton candy. Quite interesting sub-culture over that direction hehe.
It may be obvious to you because you already think that's the case, but it isn't obvious.
