What's the prospect for second stage reuse? I know they have talked about it but my understanding is it is much harder due to energies involved and payload margin.
$1M today for sure.

Why? Because otherwise I have to trust some entity to keep paying me $5000 perpetually in my retirement. Thats hard to do with any entity involved - government, my employer, financial companies... virtually any entity can face a downturn 3-4 decades from now and decide to default on their obligations.

Better to pocket $1M and invest it myself. There is less chance of prudent investments going wrong over 3-4 decades or any entity seizing those assets (because if any of that were to happen, I would have much bigger problems).

It always happen right after you can barely see the fire reflecting on the barge. The vibrations from the rocket screws with the satellite connection.

I think its important to note that while you shoot for reusability, if the vehicle fails where it can complete is primary objective (but not return to pad), that's not a show stopper; SpaceX has an entire warehouse full of returned cores now. For ICT, same deal. Hope for the best, but if your core has a critical failure and must burn a bit longer to achieve orbit, thereby losing boostback and sacrificing itself, you start rolling out the next core to the pad as soon as telemetry tells you (if you're on the clock with colonists waiting in orbit for fuel before breaking orbit).

This is not without precedent; a Falcon 9 core previously had a failure of an engine in flight, and the vehicle recalculated the burn time on the fly to continue on with the primary mission.

It was a pissing contest between the superpowers.

That doesn't mean there's less merit in that. In fact, what they did in the '60s was a heck of a lot harder, achieving so much with less tech, and hewing a new path through a virgin jungle.

It simply means - and explains why - those achievements didn't last. We put in a humongous effort to reach so far, but once the initial impetus died out, we had to scale it down.

Well, now we're back.

Tracking is the hard part. The optics are relatively simple (if you do astrophotography as an amateur, you have the optics already). I have at least two optical systems at home that could do that, I just don't have the fancy tracking rig.
Well I guess we just have different standards of what makes something proven. To me there is hierarchy

1. Mathematical or logical proof

2. Proof by controlled, reproducible experiment

3. Proof by predictions bourne out reliably by observations

We certainly don't have the first two here, and for the third, given the time frames, we find that predictions (from computer models) from the past have been wrong compared to realised events. But I suppose if backfitting a model is proof enough for you then you already have all you need.

Logistics is getting streamlined as well. Range safety used to take ~150 people per launch. The Falcon 9 is now responsible for its own range safety, and will terminate itself faster than a human would if it deviates from its ascent profile substantially.

As an untrained person my first response to that picture was "yeah that looks like it would do the trick"
I don't entirely get your point, so I'm sorry if my comment is not related, but this has happened before.

In the 1980s, during the Lebanese civil war, the US under Reagan blocked Lebanese immigration, which led many of them to Canada. I believe we took in tens of thousands.

As a teenager, ignorant of this, I never understood why we had so many Lebanese restaurants and other businesses (Japanese and Chinese were literally the only other "ethnic" cuisines). I have no idea how their experience was compared to the Syrians in this article, but I know they have thrived, maintained their culture, and contributed greatly to our country.

As other comments have noted, Canada is far from perfect, but I believe as a whole we have embraced pluralism as the path to success as a nation.
Right. That's why government already investigated this and cleared her.

Hillary Clinton appreciates your support and making it clear that Trump is the problem now.

Let's now focus on Trump, since he is the government official that is being investigated for corruption now.

I would guess that being a valedictorian is not so much a sign of being smart but of obedience. Certain subjects like history require rote memorization rather than intellect/understanding. That's why the intelligent anti-social folk tend to do good at subjects like mathematics yet could care less about subjects that are testing pure memorization.

I honestly think that having As in subjects that don't matter much, shows a form of mental illness like OCD or a lack of self-identity. It may be a grim and rather crass outlook so if you have a counter-example, I'd love to hear it.

I honestly don't think they'll _have_ the chance to enjoy the margins. There will likely be a lot more competition in the future.

It is brilliant. But their track record doesn't seem to be all that great. They add services to Prime like Video and Music, but their competition is still around. No one is leaving Netflix or Spotify.

More importantly, the main reason to pay for Prime is shipping. The rest are value-adds that might dissuade someone from unsubscribing, but I just don't think many people think "Wow, I need to pay for Prime Video!"

Their SaaS offerings on AWS are the same. Do people get excited about Quicksight, WorkDocs, or WorkMail? Not that I've seen. They have customers. People use them. But compared to their crown jewels; EC2, S3, SQS, Lambda... they're nothing.

Amazon will inevitably try to expand upward. But I see it being as successful as Prime Music or Amazon Cloud Drive. Its too much "can we do this" and not enough "should we do this".

I have seen bugs that, essentially, were caused by a floating point less-than comparison. You can still get bitten if you're not careful. (A calculation was being passed to acos(x), which is undefined for x > 1. In our case, mathematically, the inputs evaluated to exactly 1, but in the land of floating points, it was slightly off.)

(The above bug is a restatement of bubblethink's sibling comment; it's an inequality where the two values are extremely (exactly!) close.)

The Go bug on the lack of a round function had several broken implementations, none of which had a direct equality[1].

The problem in the U.S. is that such a program of government funded private sponsorship is not even discussed. Instead government officials decide they want to dump refugees into cities and surrounding suburbs and "manage" them as an exercise in bureaucracy.

We've seen this done with Somalian refugees in Minneapolis, for example, with the result that Minneapolis has one of the worst rates of rape in the entire U.S. (They have the 4th highest rate.) [1] This, in fact, is identical to the sorts of problems now facing Europe, and the actual reason for the "growing climate of resentment".

One of the key success factors in this Canadian experiment seems to be one of cultural adjustment. This particular example gives an anecdote of a statement (and acceptance) of values; "we expect you to work and support yourself" / "she lives here, she must know what is right". This tends to be another area where government tax-and-dump fails, as the same officials who want a bureaucracy-only solution also believe that American cultural values, such as they are, are irrelevant at best.

Voicing disagreement of uncontrolled ingest of refugees isn't about being cold-hearted. It is rational concern for our own children and families, and the character of our neighborhoods.

Talk to me about a plan for sponsorship like this one that includes acculturation; I'd vote for a tax increase on my income for that kind of a plan.

Of course every action you take to hide your tracks potentially leaves detectable tracks of their own. At some point you trade the ability to claim a lack of premeditation if you've clearly and extensively premeditated.
Yes obviously you can do that, but I disagree with the conclusion that you don't care about everyone. Clearly people don't care that much, but there is a difference between that and not caring at all.

Who's "we"? It's not any living person in the world today.

You may also have noticed how the government doesn't even follow its own rules?
I agree insofar as that being a lion or a bat is probably really different from being a human. It is a pity that I can not remember what it felt like when I was only one or two years old, that might provide a glimpse at the difference. In all the the time I can remember I was not fundamentally different from now, or at least that is how I remember it. I would really like to know how it was at a very young age, not speaking and understanding a language, not recognizing me in a mirror, maybe not even being aware of my existence.

Anyhow. I did not read the entire Dennett article when it was posted here a few days ago, maybe I should, but it was just not compelling to me [1], at least as far as I got. What I got from the part I read is that he seems to do exactly what Nagel warns of, dismissing the experience of being a human. I find the comparison with a computer much more interesting than the comparison with animals. What if we build an artificial neural network resembling a human brain? If that is not good enough, what if we perform a molecular simulation of a brain? Or even a quantum physical simulation of a brain if molecules are still not good enough, but personally I doubt that.

But what if? Does this artificial brain experience what it is like to be a human? As a pysicalist I think the answer is yes. But just as Nagel says, I have no idea how this could possibly work, how the transistors in my computer could go from controlling the flow of electrons by mindlessly following physical laws to being aware of their existence in a universe, seeing red, feeling joy and pain. What if I replaced the computer with a mechanical one made out of billions and billions of cogwheels? With stones on a beach simulating a Turing machine? With a gigantic printed look-up table mapping all possible inputs to their outputs?

I can not think of any good reason why the stones on the beach - together with someone or something moving them around to perform the computation - should be any less conscious than the human brain they are simulating. And this seems of course absurd. Thinking about this is what gets me the closest to becoming a dualist or something like that. There seems to be not even the tiniest bit of hope at the horizon to even be able to attack this problem from a physicalist perspective. So when Dennett says that there is no problem, assuming he actually says this, then I must disagree.

[1] I had prior exposure to Dennett and, as far as I remember, quite liked what he had to say but somehow not this time. Maybe the topic was a different one, maybe it is just the way the article is written, maybe I should just read the entire thing.

P.S. I just did some more reading on Nagel, it seems you are at least more correct than me. He seems not as open to a physicalist account of consciousness as I thought but the details are hard to tell without actually reading more of his works.
I got confused reading this, because first of all it has a picture of 64 bit floating point, then it starts comparing float to int32_t. Obviously 64 bit floating point is "double" not "float", but then it has a picture of 64 bit and program code using int32_t.

What I would say is that when you're considering comparison of floating point numbers, it's important to understand what the operation means in terms of the data which you're representing using the floating point numbers, in other words what does it mean in terms of the data for two values to be equal or not equal. Usually there is a precision inherent in the data itself which will guide you to how to formulate equality, if necessary.
My high school science fair project in 1989 was the Mandelbrot set, and I was using my Amiga to generate them, then some funky dot-matrix printer voodoo to get even grayscaling for the prints. I barely made the cutoff time, even though I'd spent weeks working on the project, because each possible render took at least a day, and my code had a lot of hiccups. (IIRC, everything was written in Modula-2. I need to see if I can find those old disks somewhere.)

It's funny that of all the things I'm 'jealous' of in modern tech, the thing that still blows me away is just how fast I can generate/zoom around fractal sets, just for the hell of it, on my phone. This much computing power in the palm of one's hand was inconceivable to me at the time!

Some time ago, I made a toy web app that creates fractals like the Julia set via functional iteration:

There's more on how it works and so forth if you go to the explanation link.

Edit: it's computationally intensive to create the fractals, so it's not very suitable for mobile (although, there's a progress indicator).
How is that a settlement and not applying their terms and conditions as it should have been the first time ? Maybe even a bribe to shut him up before this has a chance to make headlines.

Ask HN: Fair equity split for a far younger cofounder?
I'm being offered a role as cofounder of a startup in the Bay Area, with 4% of the company and a $90k salary. Does this sound like a fair offer? The teams profile:

Founder 1: Me. 2 years out of college. Math and CS degree from a top 50 university. Have worked as a developer at small early stage startups since graduating. Will be a full time developer at startup

Founder 2: A CS professor at top school (think MIT or Stanford). Will be spending 25-50% of his time on the startup for the first year.

Founder 3: Senior business development role. Has many of the connections that will make the company possible. Will be spending 50% of his time on the startup for the first year.

Founder 4: More senior developer, also will be working full time.

Founders 2 and 3 have 30 years on me, founder 4 is much closer in age. We are pre Series A, but have ~$500k in funding already
