I just came across Vue.js the other day, while exploring options for quickly banging out small tools. Getting tired of the clutter in a full-featured React project.

It offers more than one strategy for managing state; there is simple two way binding between a JS object and the DOM, there is the Elm-inspired vuex, and also it can integrate with Redux. http://vuejs.org/v2/guide/state-management.html
Claiming that labor in the USSR was slave labor is disingenuous and quite a stretch. By the same standard, I can claim that Western wage labor was also slave labor.

I'm also dubious of your Kansas claims (Google search comes up with nothing). Again, by the same standard, I can claim that the US "cannot even clothe itself" today. I'm sure reality is a lot more nuanced than that.

I can expand further on history of the USSR and long-term effects of WW2 on that country's population, which had massive waves of effect well into 1990s, but I'll stop here.
Even LEGO sells mass-produced kits.

And sure, kids predominantly play with LEGOS by building their own things. But when it comes to toys, LEGO isn't the only thing out there. And which helicopter would you think kids play with - the make-believe one that they have to wave around and pretend flies, or the mass-produced quadcopter that actually flies?

Just because Amazon does what it does now well doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't keep expanding. Quite the opposite - if they're able to optimize processes so well at the levels they work at, why not move up to higher levels and continue the growth?
It's funny because it's called "Mandlewat", right?
I've noticed that during the webcast they talked much more about their planetary colonisation project than they usually do. I guess it makes sense since today is the first time they actually implement the re-usability plan they believe is the key to this colonisation.

But frankly, is the cost of going to mars really that important for its colonisation? I mean, I wouldn't move to mars even if going there was free. For one, there's no breathable air, for Pete's sake. They are talking about building a city on a place where there isn't even breathable air. That's insane.

This whole thing is very conflicting to me. On one hand I can appreciate the technological achievement and I acknowledge that re-usability will be extremely useful for space exploration, but on the other hand I can't help thinking that those people who get excited about building a city on mars are completely delusional.
I don't mean his to be snarky but your comments strike me as naive given the daily displays of cognitive dissonance in matters political.
In the CPR, Kant proposes a synthesis of both rationalism and empiricism: although some knowledge comes from sensory experience, there are some things that we just know -- e.g., pure mathematics. So I'd say it's the result of his beef with everyone!

You can use log compaction to remove all messages apart from the latest for any given key. This gives you a Kafka queue with a bounded size, that is proportional to the table size that you're replicating.

I have to be more than a little bit skeptical with that premise.

There are 600+ million hispanics in North and South America, Canada has managed to allow a whopping ~400,000 of them in, representing a minuscule 1.2% of the country. The US is over 20% hispanic and about 16% black; Canada is 2.9% black. It sure looks like someone has a claim to the land.

Canada's merit based immigration system was designed to intentionally keep poor immigrants out (ie the majority of the population of Latin America).
Speak for yourself. I don't think hospitality is a broad Canadian value. Individual people in Canada are making the decision to host refugees, they are the kind of people who can do that and want to.

I don't know how much you know about Americans, but as a Canadian I don't really see what you see, and it seems a bit condescending.

Personally I think that it's cruel (even if the intentions are good) to play saviour for a few hundred thousand people while an entire nation suffers. We should be investing in their ability to sustain their own society, not placing their failed society's burdens on our own. On top of this, the enormous cultural incompatibility is already breeding flaming resentment in communities with many landed refugees. If we keep this up without thinking about how to do it right, we will get the worst possible outcomes.

This brings back memories of my being in high school; I'd get there in the morning, run over to our Computer Programming classroom, and load a floppy into the one Apple IIe that was connected to a color TV.

I load and run a Applesoft BASIC program that plotted the Mandelbrot set - oh...so...slowly. It's one saving grace was that it used a special ML program (something I found in Byte magazine or somewhere) which - on a machine equipped with an 80 column card (and the extra memory it afforded) would enable a high-resolution mode with access to all 16 colors.

So I'd run it - and let it plot...

By the time lunchtime came around, it would be finished, and it saved the image to the floppy. I'd then manually pick some new coordinates, and run it again to "zoom" in to an interesting area.

My last period was in that class (it was an elective, and one year I took it twice per day just to pass the time and gain an easy "A") - and by that time the new plot would be done and saved.

The next day I'd repeat it again. After about four iterations, though, it would be running too slow to finish a plot in time. So - I'd start again, and zoom in somewhere else. The teacher enjoyed it, and the other students liked seeing the pretty pictures.

Nobody really understood the math, though.
Not really. The latest crop of unicorns have done a really poor job of managing capital and they're getting slaughtered at the public markets(see twitter and snap). Dropbox has probably set themselves up for a similar fate
Keeping all our prejudices aside, it would make logical sense to settle these refugees in Arabic speaking countries. They won't have to struggle with language, customs and other infinite issues that come with being transplanted to a totally alien culture. Being closer to their home countries will also allow them to visit their relatives still in Syria and also for those relatives to visit them.
It's not that straight-forward ... the components in these analog computers have very specific characteristics over their operating range. Some may be very accurately linear, some may be logarithmic, etc.

Digital components on the other hand are purposely non-linear in a way that causes the gates to be definitely a zero or a one. Some parts include Schmidt-Trigger inputs so that there is hysteresis when input signals might be noisy.

One interesting fact about 4000-series CMOS parts - you can add a feedback resistor across an inverter and force the part into a narrow analog range. It's not good enough for audio or anything but you can make an RC oscillator, threshold detector, etc.
I understand the enthusiasm, but I don't see enough hard data to convince me this will be a commercial success.

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Falcon_9_and_Falcon_He..., SpaceX has launched and landed about 10 of these rockets, and has so far reused one. That rocket was first used about a year ago.

Factors that might prevent this from making this economically superior to 'just' ramping up production are:

- the fraction of launches that can be reused.

- the amount of effort needed to prepare a rocket for reuse relative to that needed to produce a new rocket.

They will have been extra cautious this time, but from the above, the answers _could_ be "about 10%" and "almost one year, taking way more effort than building a new one does".

I would think the real answers are a bit better and will get even better over time, but I also don't think they already are at "close to 100%" and "a couple of weeks", because, if they were, I think they would have launched a used rocket earlier. I also am not convinced they can get there.

That's mostly guessing, though, as I'm not a rocket scientist and can't find hard information on this. Does anybody have that?

The obvious question: how much cheaper should this make it, per pound, to put something in orbit?
Should be in YouTube - they were streaming it there too, and YT streams are watchable after the fact. Look at the SpaceX channel.
Even worse than the expense of the payload is the time: some payloads take several years to build and some literally can't be replaced (e.g. Webb telescope, though it could be replaced it probably wouldn't get funded).
Very true, but domination by the Soviets wouldn't have been much better than domination by the Nazis.

AWS was already low risk, since they started with idle platform capacity that they needed to have for holiday shopping bursts. You're proving my point. They go for very asymmetric return profiles. Selling books online is exactly the same. Using expensive retail space to sell goods that have few good substitutes between them is a really dumb proposition. The market for books was well established, so that wasn't risky.

Don't get me wrong, it's brilliant thinking and opportunity seeking. But it is not moonshot behavior.

Are you claiming that the research on Implicit bias or Stereotype threat is not reproducible (which is provably wrong, just by looking at google scholar search[1])?

I would agree with you that the softer sciences historically have had problems with reproducibility and that there is a replication crisis, but I am talking about two specific, well studied (in multiple different settings) phenomena. I do not see how your comment contributes anything in this context.

While I agree that this is good to see, it doesn't scale at all. How many people can really afford to pay their own rent and bills, and still have enough left over to pay rent and bills for another family?

And to play devil's advocate, how does the overall cost (monetary, time, interruption, etc.) of doing this compare to the cost of "fixing" the situation in their home country? Granted it may not be feasible politically, but inviting in a bunch of refugees is a political minefield, too.

Cool, thanks for the links.

It ended up on HN because philosophy is what I studied in college/grad school, and I like the fact that HN seems to be a very intellectually omnivorous community -- sans the annoying dilettantism you find elsewhere.
"When [Tracy] Chou discovered a significant flaw in [her] company’s code and pointed it out, her engineering team dismissed her concerns, saying that they had been using the code for long enough that any problems would have been discovered. Chou persisted, saying she could demonstrate the conditions under which the bug was triggered. Finally, a male co-worker saw that she was right and raised the alarm, whereupon people in the office began to listen. Chou told her team that she knew how to fix the flaw; skeptical, they told her to have two other engineers review the changes and sign off on them, an unusual precaution."

This would happen to any junior dev. As the article doesn't actually tell if Tracy was a junior or senior dev, this doesn't demonstrate any kind of gender bias by itself.
But high level applications customers aren't usually price sensitive, if Amazon tries to compete with its customers and fails, then they'll leave, to someone like Google cloud.
You can just go back on the live stream.
10% is pretty bad. ULA has launched over a hundred times with no failures. The much-maligned Shuttle had two failures in 135 flights (and, strictly speaking, only one of those failures would have prevented a payload from getting to orbit). I'm pretty sure the Russians are the only ones doing worse right now.

Not at all. Most customers couldn't care less about money.

There are numerous people who are price sensitive, the amateurs who are running a test app and complaining that digital ocean is cheaper, then move to the weirdest hoster they could find because that's only $2 a month. These are NOT AWS customers.

I don't understand your suggestion. Are you saying that if we can predict someone has a high probability of being a C or D student that they shouldn't go to school at all?
ACK. We recognize this aspect of the docs (engineers writing docs == encyclopedia articles). We have real, honest to goodness tech writers now, and they are working on it. One piece at a time.
Indeed! I take back what I said previously. There has been positive response and even someone who's done before giving me hope it's possible:

>When comparing to some known value—especially zero or values near it—use a fixed ϵ that makes sense for your calculations.

If you're ever doing mathematical calculations of any sort, it is a good practice to have a handle on the scale your numbers will lie within. If not just to be a better professional, it helps you choose an ϵ that matches.
What a great time to be alive, to be able to witness such revolutions in rocket technology.
But you'd have to compare their first thirty launches with these to compare. Anyway, notice has been served today I think, now let's see what it leads to.

For comparison:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Atlas_launches

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Thor_and_Delta_launche...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Falcon_9_and_Falcon_He...

Of course the beginnings of what is now ULA were much more innovative than what SpaceX is doing because we simply had not launched any rockets of that size at all and so there were many more failures.

It probably won't be the last SpaceX failure either because they plan on making fairly big changes soon and those will come with new failure modes, the best way to get to very high degrees of reliability is to stop making changes other than to fix problems but that does not square with SpaceX's way of doing business.

The difference between launching something to space and to orbit is roughly the difference between a bicycle, and a motorcycle.

Blue Origin can go to space. They are nowhere close to going to orbit.

We've sent things to space and back a long time ago. We call them airplanes. [1]

Speak for yourself.

Hence use of phrases like "I believe" and "I think" and "My experience (for what it's worth)".

Was that not disclaimer enough for you?

I don't know how much you know about Americans, but as a Canadian I don't really see what you see, and it seems a bit condescending.

Certainly not the intent, and I hope it didn't come across that way.

I do think it's true that Canadians and Americans, as a whole, have an overlapping but different set of... rather than values, let's call them priorities.

If making that claim and observing the differences is "condescending", I don't know what to tell you. Certainly I wasn't attempting to ascribe a judgement to those priorities. I was simply highlighting that I believe they're different, and that the "age of individualism" is not a universal experience.

Of course, you're more than welcome to disagree with that, or disagree with the very concept of a national identity or commonly held set of priorities.

Personally I think that it's cruel to play saviour for a few hundred thousand people while an entire nation suffers. We should be investing in their ability to sustain their own society

Why not both?

not placing their failed society's burdens on our own.

What was that about being condescending?
Relay has some nicer ergonomics when it comes to composing queries from fragments for different components, and the mutation behaviour is a bit more "magic", but both of these benefits come with some serious restrictions on what you can do. The next version of Relay looks like it'll do away with this approach, bringing it closer in line with how Apollo does things right now.

I'm a heavy user of Relay (been using it since it was first open-sourced around 18 months ago), but given that it's going to be changing quite a bit in the near future, I think newcomers to GraphQL are going to be better off with Apollo for now.
The H1B program should be extremely disliked, it's a fraud.

The radical majority of the program goes to generate corporate welfare for India tech firms. It has been covered extensively on HN, because it's not even remotely coming close to serving the purpose it was set up for (or supposedly set up for).

There are several other ways to operate the system that would fairly distribute H1B visas. The approach we use now, is more than being abused and it's unfair to the millions of people that would like to come to the US from dozens of nations.

In the hosted webcast they explained that the droneship is on a satellite link and expected to loose connection as soon as the first stage closes in due to vibrations. Edit: someone else here said the exhaust fumes might also disrupt the satellite link.
Maybe think of the USA as schizophrenic.

I was raised Presbyterian. We've always sponsored refugees, fed the hungry, did missionary work, etc. Young me just thought that's what Christians do. We certainly didn't talk or brag about it; that was very gauche.

It wasn't until I was much older that I figured out my congregation was considered liberal.

There are more liberal Christians than not. But we're not vocal or organized. So the fruitcakes have way more influence.

> Now, will they fly this one again?

Probably not. For starters, Elon has said they only intend to get a few flights out of the Block 3 rockets. Additionally, the CTO of SES said Gwynne promised them some bits of the rocket for posterity.

The Block 5 rockets (to fly later this year) are the ones Elon expects to fly more or less indefinitely, with regular servicing and part replacement.
Truly incredible. I applaud the SpaceX team for making history.

Not much, because SpaceX is currently the cheapest launch provider in its category (except perhaps the Russians). And their capacity is maxed out. If anything they should put the price up.
