I find the whole idea of carbon fiber inside a pressurized LOX contain a bit risky. Also, what about all those reports that we're running out of helium? Is that credible threat to ongoing space flight?
Was the stress primarily because of sleep deprivation/multitasking with a new baby? I am just trying to understand.
Not 100% sure, but each stage has multiple COPVs and there are two stages per vehicle, plus each vehicle is loaded multiple times (minimum two, for the static fire and the actual launch, and possibly more than that), so 700 occurrences of an individual COPV being loaded over the history of SpaceX (with ~30 total launches) is not totally ridiculous.

I'm not a vegan or vegetarian either and I've got chickens right now living exactly as you describe (as egg-laying pets, two of them going on 6 years old now). They also cut back on food waste since they'll eat most scraps and generate fertilizer for gardening. Though, dense city conditions would make that less accessible.
Law usually needs to be tailor to the specific facts of a situation. Here there is a clear difference in a building being used as a residence with a small and consistent set of people using it as opposed to a much higher volume of guests using it for a business purpose. Just think about the increased risk of accidents, fire, or crime introduced as multiple guests stay in a space: they will increase the risk of crime by bringing valuables in rotating shifts, increased risk of fire as some guests will smoke or bring faulty electronic devices; I could go on, but the point seems clear. Higher traffic use results in greater risk. These factual differences should be taken into account when writing an insurance contract (a form of "law") or regulation (also a form of "law").

If the end justifies the means, then I think it's irrelevant whether the change causes demand to be met so long as more people get the organs they need. On the other hand, if you don't believe that the end justifies the means, then it's completely irrelevant because you have to respect people's choices over their bodies (even posthumously) even if you think they are misguided or 'selfish'.

What I do: I help companies beef up their documentation for users. Using a combination of screencasts, blog posts and tutorials we can build learning resources for your users.

We're a great fit to work together if you have a successful piece of software (SaaS or otherwise) but need to grow your documentation. I'll learn your product and then teach it to others.

I call what I do "tutorial marketing." If you build good learning resources for your product, it both attracts new clients and retains existing ones.

I started off teaching for Envato with screencasts and written tutorials.

Late last year, I launched my freelance business to companies. We produced screencasts and other guides and the results were great.

> As you did heroin, you must know that the issue is getting people to _use_ the exchange programs and resources.

I snorted heroin, I'm not a fricking junkie :) But seriously, do you expect people to use needle exchange programs when doing so is tantamount to admitting to illegal behavior? It is very common for US police to bust drug users and pressure them into becoming confidential informants, and then work their way up the chain.

> I legitimately do not know where to buy drugs in my current city and not wanting to deal obvious drug dealers acts as an effective barrier.

I'm guessing you're not interested in using drugs, right? There's your explanation. If you are though, then I can only ascertain that you feel you have a right to use them, while other people, like the non net contributors to society you mentioned earlier, do not.

> I'd like to see some statistics on this -- my understanding is that police typically end up finding drugs as a secondary crime to responding to an existing issue

Ok, now you must be trolling! You need me to dig up numbers to show that US police spend significant time and resources on drug crimes? By the FBI's own numbers, drug violations account for more arrests than any other crime [1]. Speaking about policing more broadly, there are entire agencies like the DEA that deal exclusively with drug crime, and the NSA participates in efforts to catch drug dealers by coordinating with city police departments. Even Fox News will tell you that we've spent over a trillion dollars fighting the war on drugs [2]. That's not even getting into the money spent in the courts, prisons, probation system, etc.

[1] https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2012/crime-in-the-u.s.-...

The highest number of arrests were for drug abuse violations (estimated at 1,552,432 arrests)

The article doesn't mention "embedding" even once. How can an argument about discontinuities in language space leave out things like word2vec, etc, which are designed to make things continuous?
You do realize that main DL ideas have been developed in the 90s, or even earlier?

CNNs, RNNs, LSTMs, reinforcement learning, gradient descent, backpropagation - all that was used in the 90s, but given the limited computing power they had, people simply couldn't run large enough models on large enough data to get results.

Good comment. Whole heartedly agree. Our job is to give them what they need, not what we think is cool. I hate it when developers over-engineer their client's needs. It becomes a costly maintenance nightmare down the road for everyone.

could you add in your analysis of airbnb or how it relates to what you've written - you've left it entirely out of your paragraph and I can't draw an immediate conclusion.

(Though maybe you were adding information about hotel taxation without any thoughts about airbnb or how it relates.)
> Public safety regulations are not pointless red tape.

This is the typical refrain of people who are trying to pitch pointless red tape; "it's about public safety!"

Of course, 90% of regulations in any given industry have nothing to do with "safety" and everything to do with sustaining the bureaucracy that created them. Even those regulations that are nominally intended to increase safety are often counterproductive, and cause more utility loss than they prevent.

> Is your position that we would be better to just ignore fire and other safety rules for all hotels?

Are you really under the impression that the competitive advantage of AirBnB comes from ignoring fire code? That's insane for multiple reasons, but mostly that all residential buildings (including AirBnBs) have to obey fire code already.

> In light of a clear rationale for such regulations

You're making two false assumptions here; one is that most regulations even nominally have a "clear rationale", and the second is that regulations that appear to have clear rationales to some self-interested regulatory group actually do. Most people, including regulators, don't bother to look beyond first-order costs imposed by proposed regulations. It's quite likely that many safety-oriented regulations claim a great deal more lives than they save, since the increased economic burden of those regulations sucks up resources that would otherwise be used on e.g. healthcare or personal enjoyment. On an individual level, the difference is very smal, but multiplied over the millions of people who are affected by the regulation it adds up to a lot of man-hours and lives lost.

> That would be like a race between two cars, one that has a 40 mile/hour speed limit, the other no speed limit. Which car would you pick?

The unlimited car is clearly superior, so you're not exactly helping your own argument here.
.... So, ONLY a third? That leaves two thirds left, thats not due to that. That is still a big difference.
>I am just trying to find your take on the matter

I think you're right: it's ridiculous.
Oryol: A small, portable and extensible C++ 3D coding framework
My understanding is that there is a requirement to negotiate in good faith.

I don't know what that means in actual practice - as companies have certainly proven adept at NOT doing so.
The cool thing about tests is that they let you write code bottom up instead of top down. So instead of having to first build a UI so you can see if your algorithm does what you need it to, instead you can just implement the algorithm and write a little code to exercise it and make sure the results are what you expect. Then you can C&P that little bit of code and adjust it a bit to make sure edge case behavior is sane.

Things that helped me make the adjustment:

- a good test harness that made writing and running tests relatively effortless
- working for a few months on a team that used a methodology that wasn't strictly TDD but had a rule that pull requests would not be accepted without test coverage. (If your own team doesn't have this requirement, you may be able to find an open source project to contribute to that does.)
- Working for a different few months on a codebase that was already well tested and thus a) already had the tooling necessary to make writing tests easy, and b) contained plenty of examples of sensible tests.

Uber is profitable in the USA.

Agreed; killing port 80 just decreases the chances the browser makes subsequent port 80 requests.

I still think the referrer is only helping paper over a deeper design flaw (using cookies to carry post state) at the expense of getting some users to trade privacy for availability, and decreasing performance/opening up attacks for people that install extensions as a workaround.

I did mention the DRAMeXchange source though.
> Which hotel regulations do you think are overly onerous and ridiculous?

The many extra taxes and tariffs on guests. Occupancy taxes, tourism improvement fees, etc, that the city is only able to capture by abusing its control over the hotels.

It's easy to pass laws that don't affect people who live in your area because nobody is that motivated to stop you. Hotels and other legitimate businesses suffer because the city stole (took because it could, for no good purpose) money from the guests that they'd have otherwise spent on services they actually wanted.

The hotel should only be billed for services delivered. If the guests consume a lot of water the hotel needs to pay for it, etc. If that rate is below cost, it should be raised.

The extra tax is just a "because we can" and is one of the things an efficient economy will route around.

> they're definitely knowingly enabling their customers to do illegal things.

They're enabling a primarily legal operation - people renting things. It's not their job to police which units are legal to rent and which are not.

I could buy legal things at Costco and commit a crime with them and it's not Costco's duty to stop me.

If there are 3 in the first stage alone, and they static fire the stages before launching, I can see that adding up.
So are you saying we should get rid of any regulation where "customers love a service" that doesn't follow the regulation?

So we should allow a contract killer for hire on-line marketplace because drug cartels would really love to book their preferred hit man from an iPhone app?

I live in Belgium and the extension works (maybe it's due to the fact that I switched my Facebook language to English).
Actually no, owner-occupied residential buildings do not have to meet codes, under the liberal belief that it's OK for a person to subject themselves knowingly to certain hazards. However it is not OK for that owner to subject others to those hazards, which is why hotels and rental properties have to meet those codes even as the codes change. Therefore it is a regulatory advantage of AirBNB that unregulated residences are offered up as hotels without meeting the codes.
I don't think it's a valid concern, because they're effectively calling doctors murderers working on behalf of a nearby wealthy person.

If the system has broken down to where doctors will kill patients for the nearby wealthy person, why not just kill you outright to steal your organs?
We're not really running out, it's just getting more expensive because the government doesn't regulate it's availability anymore since the strategic helium reserve was done away with. It won't be a big deal for (already expensive) rocketry. Buying helium balloons for your birthday will be pricey, though.
I believe that it's very likely that SpaceX can recover the helium used during operation. The helium isn't expelled from the fuel tanks. Since the 1st stage returns, it could be recovered.
This and NoSQL terms are so abused, because it shows that people who coined NoSQL or NewSQL, don't seem to understand databases.

Also the whole thing reminds me of this:
https://mobile.twitter.com/edd/status/400190499585544192/pho...

It is missing NewSQL, which is happening right now, but it shows how we are going in circles. There are benefits of NoSQL, particularly for type of data that it is ok once in a while to have individual values wrong or missing (tracking users, shopping carts etc). CRDTs are also useful. I'm wondering what NewSQL would bring, but I'm thinking that we will go back to traditional relational databases once again. We probably end up with some kind of hybrid approach, and decide for given piece of data whether it should be distributed (at the cost of consistency) or vice versa.
That is a terrible idea because only reasonable people will follow it.
Culturally, yes.

It doesn't matter if that was the reality or not, the cultural narratives that surround environmentalism do have an effect on who takes part, which means overcoming personal prejudice is part of the movement towards a greener future.
