That is a pretty awesome tour de force. Somewhere deep inside your computer is an (emulated) PC/AT trying to get out :-).

An interesting lesson about the use of 'beep' for the assistive technologies. I see those sorts of things in architectures which have grown up over time and I wonder whether or not you could know at the time "Hey we're using this weird thing, please deprecated at your earliest convenience" or if it was more "there I fixed it."

Compatibility at the GPIO level was so ingrained in the PC community early on (there was even a code name for it, "Is it FlightSim compatible?" which referred to Microsoft Flightsim, a game that tested the compatibility limits of clones.) So as a tenet to the community all sorts of hacks could be committed in its name. Something like "Well we can depend on this, if they changed it then it would break compatibility and they can't do that."

Also an interesting take on how much Microsoft has had to unwind in a compatible way over the years.

Finally, the Linux console used to beep the speaker this way (I have no idea if it still does) and sometimes when I lay there sleeping I would hear my server softly feeping, yes feeping on its console bell. Sadly it wouldn't stop until I got up and logged in and figured out what was complaining.

I've held several jobs which required me to keep an Engineer's Notebook. It was the place were I jotted down all my ideas, thoughts and random pieces of info I needed or found useful. It served 2 purposes:

1. I could go back in time and jump directly to the solution of something that I knew I had solved but couldn't remember how.

2. It was used by my employers to save in case a patent case arose and they had to find evidence pointing to engineers working on a particular idea. For that reason, the notebook had to have sequential numbered pages, entries had to be dated and binding had to be sewn (to decrease the likelyhood of tampering).
It's an inheritence of the famously low profit taxes. To make sure owners don't circumvent (the higher) income taxes by maximizing profit they have a compulsory salary or a management fee. This ensures they pay their part of the welfare system. They cannot pay themselves less than other personnel, and not below 48K.

It's a nuisance for incorporated startups for sure, but there's a catch: if you can show you can't afford it, you don't have to pay up. Problem is that you need a ruling for it, which you can request after incorporating. A classic Catch 22.

Otoh, to put 48K in perspective: if you work 32 hours a week the 48K comes down as well to the level of about 2K/m net income. If you're in Amsterdam you can count on 1+K just for housing so you'll need that kind of income anyway. Of course you don't really work just 32 hours, but your contract can state it without issues. 32-36 hours is considered fulltime in the Netherlands.

The system is designed on liability: when incorporated, you cannot not be held liable as a person, only the incorporation can. This has a cost, so to say. The Dutch systems assumes that if you need that kind of "protection", you have a proven business and revenue to pay for the "luxury".

If you choose the non-incorporated business types (a EMZ or VOF), you are personally liable and you get a LOT of tax rewards for it. I've been a successful freelancer for 15+ years before becoming a founder, and haven't paid more than 20K in taxes in all those years combined. You get so much tax benefits that it doesn't make sense to incorporate before you take home a profit of about 120K/y. With a median income <30K, that is a lot of tax to pay up for accountability.

But, if you want to go with investors incorporating is the way to go. You can't just incorporate in Estonia and have your company in Amsterdam. You'll be taxed like a Dutch company.

Long story short: NL is awesome for startups, just don't incorporate before you have investors or serious profits.

The satellite build costs $200m.

Launch 1 costs $600m: total cost, $800m.

Launch 2 costs $200m: you can build 2 spare satellites for the same cost (assuming you don't pay for the launches that go boom; and even if you do, that still gives you one spare satellite).
It's probably a bug in the foreground of the camera. You can see the same thing at around 1:06 in the bottom half of the frame before it explodes.
You raise an interesting point, but I think the data actually makes my point.

Firstly, I think you should count the "majority" of their investments as where the majority of their money goes. If they had one fund with a billion dollars, and $400 million went into Uber and $400 million went into a Facebook, but $200 million went into 90 tiny companies, I would argue that they are 80% (800/1000) late stage and not 2.2% (2/90) late stage.

Secondly, what they call the round is kind of arbitrary. Consider that many (most? traditionally?) VC funds earmark around $5 million for all rounds in a company.

They may put in $100k pre-product, $1 million after market fit and so on.

AH put $25 million in Clinkle's "seed" round. Imagine how valuable Clinkle must have been at that point.

Nonetheless, I think this shows that they are making much larger, much later investments than the "traditional" VC, and for reasons that Marc has talked about in public.

Of course he wishes he had got into successful companies even earlier. Everyone wishes that. I wish I had got into AirBnB in the Series A. So do you, presumably.

He fully concedes he is not as good as Peter Thiel (a, who is?, and b, this is his example) at going for the really early stage company and prefers to go in later. Its just really hard to tell which of 1500 companies is going to make it big, but it is much easier to guess that most of 20 big companies are going to get bigger.
If you compare to established, successful car companies like Ford or Honda, the best case scenario for TSLA is of the order of 2x-5x increase in market cap. And you might see more dilution to get the Model 3's rolling. So buying TSLA today isn't like buying Apple in 2005, but it might be like buying Apple in 2012.
Interesting on the fuel. Oxygen's boiling point is at -297F (turned into liquid) and its freezing point is at -362F (turned into solid). Lowering the temperature to -340F would be solidifying the liquid oxygen but not quite yet. I guess at that point the volume has reduced, enabling the packing of more LO into the container.

Having an additional phase change doubles the risk factor along the whole pipeline that it flows through, the container, the valves, the pipes, the chambers, whatever. Liquid to gas can be dissipated quickly. How bad can uncontrolled solid to liquid expansion be?

Edit: uncontrolled liquid to gas venting is equally volatile and dangerous.
Amazon New Product Demand Forecasting | Seattle | Full-Time | On-Site ($130-$250+ depending on experience)

Amazon's New Product Demand Forecasting team is responsible for one of the most challenging problems in supply chain optimization: predicting sales for products that have no sales history. This is a uniquely creative space in Forecasting requiring our machine learning models to capture both the nuances of the global consumer marketplace as well as customer behavior on Amazon.

We're looking for an experienced, data-science-leaning software developer that is comfortable with big data and can:

* Design systems that provide a stable base for innovation in a rapidly changing business

* Improve Forecasting algorithms through data-driven analysis and experimentation in our Scala/Spark environment

* Optimize for scalability and performance of both distributed computations and near-metal C++ code

* Communicate their ideas clearly with all members of a diverse team

As the seller, I paid a fee to FE International (my broker). Similar to having a realtor help sell your house, it was absolutely worth it. FEI compile a prospectus, distributed it to their network of buyers, advised on selling price, sat in on calls with potential buyers to keep the conversation on point, and overall helped me maintain my sanity.

A dear friend of mine quit smoking, cold-turkey, and she went completely berserk for 3 months, with dangerous mood swings and outbursts of violence. She had previously suffered a mild depression, which now emerged as some kind of dark nightmare of rage and guilt and hatred and also self-hatred.

This is what struck me: of all the SSRIs she'd had ever tried, none had ever worked as well as tobacco. Tobacco moderated her depression and mood swings more effectively than any modern drug that her doctors had prescribed for her.

So I when I read this passage, what strikes me is how much truth there is still in this, even in the year 2016:

"its virtues rarely get a hearing, and yet the latter are many and great. To quiet nervous rest; to soothe a ruffled temper; to favour calm and partial thought; to steady and clear (not to cloud) a confused, overworked brain; "

Ok, the Falcon 9 1.2 [1] is 70m tall [2], and the rocket fills up about 80% of the vertical frame [3].

Using the "Image = FL * Obj / distance" equation, we get:

.8 * 24mm = x * 70m/4080m

Where x is the focal length of the lens assuming a full frame camera.

This comes out to a x = 1119mm equivalent focal length. If you have a crop sensor, this isn't too hard to obtain. I'd be amused if the video was taken with a Canon EF 1200mm lens or something, but the probability of that is 0.

You can intentionally configure anything to be insecure, and what you describe is one such example. Most devs are either bridging or using a private network (the latter in our case).
Maybe I'm weird, but I still type things out even when I'm copying them from another place. Except, for example, string values or something in configuration data. But if it's just some code I'm learning, I type it all up. I mean, you're trying to learn it, right?
I think the suggestion to retype was specifically about learning things and not about boilerplate you already understand or don't need to.

Mocking a six ton payload is actually fairly expensive, to get the cg, vibration etc. right. A lot more difficult than payload = mock(satellite);
NASA did it for the Hubble but so the ground crew could practice operations and not drop the billion dollar space observatory, not to try and save some money if something blew up during testing.
Very nice indeed! Django+DRF and React+redux is like four of my favourite things combined. The frontend build file is gulp, so make that five.

> So a company that sells GPL'd software is only required to provide the source to any of their purchasers (however, those purchasers are not restricted in any way and can give the source to someone else). So the only way I could get the source code from that company is if I purchase their product.

That's not correct. The text of the license says:

> Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

It say any third party. There is nothing in there that limits it to only those who purchased it from the company. If the company elects to go with the written offer approach and I buy a copy from them, and then I give you a copy, they are obligated to give you source code if you ask even though you did not purchase from them.

As explained in the GPLv2 FAQ:

> What does this “written offer valid for any third party” mean? Does that mean everyone in the world can get the source to any GPL'ed program no matter what?

> If you choose to provide source through a written offer, then anybody who requests the source from you is entitled to receive it.

> If you commercially distribute binaries not accompanied with source code, the GPL says you must provide a written offer to distribute the source code later. When users non-commercially redistribute the binaries they received from you, they must pass along a copy of this written offer. This means that people who did not get the binaries directly from you can still receive copies of the source code, along with the written offer.

> The reason we require the offer to be valid for any third party is so that people who receive the binaries indirectly in that way can order the source code from you.

Also relevant from the FAQ:

> My friend got a GPL-covered binary with an offer to supply source, and made a copy for me. Can I use the offer myself to obtain the source?

> Yes, you can. The offer must be open to everyone who has a copy of the binary that it accompanies. This is why the GPL says your friend must give you a copy of the offer along with a copy of the binary—so you can take advantage of it.
correct, probably.

however, a 'badassery' sounds more like a place where you would go to eat badass than a 'badassity'.
