Death of an Heir: Adolph Coors III and the Murder That Rocked a Brewing Dynasty
That explains it, I suppose :)

Lived in the US, seen Thomas shows + books (not originals) for decades, and only now hear anything but Sir Topham Hatt.
Totally fair response.

Do you think the board failed to minimize the total financial impact, and that shareholders will now vote to replace most of the board seats?

Shareholders run the company. Are we mad at the CEO, or mad at the shareholders?
In general, I think the only part which is supposed to need regular replacing is the ablative heatshield. Regarding Earth vs Mars reentry, he said the following during the talk (my quick transcription follows): "You're going in, you're going very quickly, 7.5 km/s. For Mars, there will be some ablation of the heat shield. So, it's just like a brake pad wearing away. It is a multi-use heatshield, but unlike for Earth operations it's coming in hot enough that you will see some wear of the heatshield."
You kidding? There's no way I'm staying in my seat during zero gravity. I might pay more to do a couple of extra orbits and play around before coming down.
> It’s rare to need to background a console editor,

LOL. My experience with an average of 5-6 backgrounded vims *per each named tmux session" which I use to keep track of different source files I'm working on goes against this. Sure, I can use vim's windows, but I don't want split screen usually (I'll use the other terminal I have open if I do). I don't use tmux's windows either really. It's more a way to preserve session when changing workstations (these are remote terminals), and preserve against network drops. I use each tmux session as a contained work environment for the most part. I do all my software development using vim on a remote server, and have for most of the last two decades. I've worked with numerous other developers that work similarly for professional projects, personal projects, or both.

Let's just say that there might be people that use the combined features of terminal applications, terminals, and remote connections in ways that you might think were rare, but actually have large following and leave it at that. :)
IntelliJ is world class. Expensive, and world class.

It sounds like you're complaining about how much quality content there is now that unlimited streaming venues are available and nothing has to fit into a designated time slot. I for one am not wistful for the 90's and 00's monopoly of network and cable TV, which I remember all too well.
Will somebody for the love of god please rescue Hyperion from Syfy before it's too late, and give it a serious treatment?
I agree that he is responsible. But his contract doesn't read, "if any big bad thing happens, we pay you $0!"

That would surely be a great contract, but they would have a tough time hiring a CEO.

By analysis, every landlord should put a "if anything really bad happens at this property, you are fully responsible."
Vpsdime 2000 GB Storage VPS is $28/month. But better ask them if they allow it for your purposes
Musk's speaking is always a little awkward (in an endearing way), but did he seem significantly more nervous/emotionally affected than usual in the first part of this speech? It seemed that way to me, curious if anyone else interpreted it like that.

He calms down when he starts talking about risk and it being the anniversary of a launch.

edit: Good and fun presentation regardless!

edit2: Thoughts:

- Maybe he feels in over his head. The timing when he relaxed seemed to coincide with talking about a previous experience that might have felt overwhelming at the time but paid off.

- Maybe he typically takes beta blockers or something for speeches and take them until late this time (the talk did start late)

- Maybe it's just random.

Any spacex watchers have thoughts on cause?

edit3: Definitely not a diss. Love Elon/SpaceX/the vision.
The poorest citizens don't own cars.
The tech isn't going to die, it's just not going to change the world in any sexy way.

Maersk is using it for something as boring as secure claims for containers to fight corruption in shipping.

In government we're looking into running things like the land ownership registry and other public records on the tech. Not because it's hip, but because it'll save employee resources when we have to perform less audits, and because it'll speed response times.
The article and the comments here lack a bit of context. At the time where tickets were starting to be deployed (around 2011), ECDH ciphers were not in use and PFS was therefore quite expensive (and therefore, almost never used). Around the same time, the move from 1024-bit certificates to 2048-bit certificates were making TLS difficult to deploy at scale for everyone except Google.

Session tickets were primarily a mechanism to help to reduce to load of TLS connections. The reduced latency is a happy side-effect. At the time, it was already well-known that this would negatively impact PFS (something I already mention in my own blog article about session tickets in 2011).

Moreover, many seem to build a scenario where session tickets are recovered by an attacker but not the private keys. Usually, session tickets are in memory only and private keys are persisted. This makes those tickets more unlikely to be recovered by anyone unless you get access to a running web server. In this case, you have far more serious trouble than those tickets (even if the attacker still cannot decode past recorded data).

Even today, TLS handshakes are quite expensive, both for the server and the clients. Using session tickets (with rotated keys) still outweigh the downsides of not using them. That's why every major site are using them.
It is not very expensive. It is not a utopia, it is a tiny but meaningful increase in quality of life for the vast majority of citizens and society as a whole. And your question is fundamentally ideologically flawed: were you concern trolling about how we were going to fund the bombs we dropped on weddings last year? How did we fund the Saudi Arabian genocide in Yemen? What taxes did we raise to give them this money?

Corporate taxes basically don't exist in the US. Taxes on the wealthy barely exist compared to the most productive period in US history, when they were 94%. Your question reveals more about its asker than the subject. The whole point of having a country is so that the resources we generate together can be used to help the country, not so that a tiny wealthy oligarchy can siphon off all our resources and leave us to die, then when we ask to live, say "how will you pay for it?" [because I, after stealing your money, obviously won't give any of it back to you]
Show HN: Donate your CPU time for Charity
In all likelihood the carbon footprint of spectators going to watch the launch would be at least an order of magnitude higher than the launch itself.
> feel like it's a shame that I have to ignore most of it, until such time as I no longer need to work or spend time on my own creations

That's the thing though: none of those great pieces of entertainment will be things you put effort into.

If all the reviews of all the things are five stars, maybe the scale is wrong, no?
For a few years at the beginning of my PhD, when I typed 'f' into the URL bar of my browser, www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/III_toc.html was the autocomplete instead of www.facebook.com. They are genuinely amazing once you have already studied some physics because they are so basic, yet so deep.
I hope they don't end up reveling in the dystopia rather than accepting that it's the backdrop, not the story. I think The Man in the High Castle rather overdid the dystopia-part and suffered for it.
He did seem way more nervous than usual.
Sample quote: "Dr. Seuss is a bit of a cliché, a tired and worn ambassador for children's literature. … Dr. Seuss's illustrations are steeped in racist propaganda, caricatures, and harmful stereotypes."
Strictly speaking, it's not known if the name is a pseudonym either. There are people in the world that have that name and they haven't denied being the creator.

> The show premiered in Canada on CBC Television, then went to PBS (Public Broadcasting Service), was on Qubo in the US, and at one time had appeared in eighty different countries.

Looks like PBS Kids (the most likely syndication for Americans) ran it to some degree from 1993 to 2002.
SpotHero hiring Account Executive (NYC)
Elon's stated goal for ticket price to Mars is $200k, not $500k.
Keeping it simple is good advice, but that's not shell scripts once you have more than ~10 boxes.

Picking a good config management and deployment tool, getting everything checked into git, and being disciplined about how you do things will save you mountains of time in the long run.

I'm currently on saltstack and it's a nice system; it eliminates a lot of the slowness I experienced with Ansible while conceptually working similarly (playbooks -> states, templates, inventory -> pillar, roles, etc). Everything is committed in git; sensitive data like keys are encrypted with a secret not in the repo using nacl. When I deploy, I know every machine is in exactly the same state running the same software and packages -- that is much much harder with ssh and shell scripts.
I'd just shit my pants on liftoff.
Hey, I'm a bit overweight and I would be very much happy with the G's :).

That said, I think those are the two primary issues. Airplanes, cars and trains can break on you, but they generally won't explode.
SpotHero Hiring Account Executive (SF)
Yep, agreed. It's not really that universities are bad, just that they're outrageously overpriced and inefficient. And from my personal experience, most professors don't seem that passionate about educating (many of them rightfully think their time would be better spent elsewhere). I think the two missing pieces for university alternatives to pick up steam are industry acceptance and a more curriculum based format (vs single courses).
So that's basically the first privately-owned ICBM?
I see what you mean. But what else can we do other than prepare children to be assessed in terms of now-usefulness?

When they come into contact with team activities ( sports etc ), the world of work or even just small social groups they will be graded implicitly and explicitly by the value they contribute. Should we not prepare them for that?

Even here on HN those who are lauded as heroic engineers are those seen as Really Useful ( started a space company, have a lot of github contributions, maintain an OS kernel etc ), not the quiet cogs who churn-out CRUD apps in Fortune 100s.

It's always great to have a space or a time in which you can slob-out and be not-useful but Western society considers that exceptional and calls it 'vacation'.
I get the impression Elon's stance is, "If somebody else wants to build a Moon Base, you're welcome to buy launches from us. Here's how you'd do it." Elon himself pretty much just cares about Mars.
Tried to watch the video about P4 at p4.org, but it failed with

http://p4.org/html5boxplayer.swf - 404 not found

The P4 language is interesting. There are little programs, like shaders, which run for each packet. Presumably many units are running these programs in parallel. These programs can read tables set by the "control plane", a more conventional CPU, and can pass a packet to the control plane. That's similar to large routers today, but here, the lower level hardware is more flexible.

It seems sufficient for writing a router, but not, say, a stateful middlebox like a firewall or a SSL/TLS decoder. It seems designed for "software defined networking". The P4 programs detect that a packet isn't in a table that tells what to do with it, and pass that packet to the control plane. The control plane sets a table to handle routing for that flow, and, thereafter, packets from that flow are handled by the low-level system.

This is a threat to Cisco, Brocade, etc. in that it defines a generic architecture for commodity routing hardware.
The appeal of Ansible is that you can declaratively spec infrastructure and it happens (more or less). I don't see how this competes with that.
That's a very interesting way of slicing things. You think that the importance of the rule of law (obedience) isn't something which should be instilled at a young age? It's totally possible to simultaneously teach that following and questioning the rules is possible/appropriate/good.

Consider that the US military simultaneously teaches the importance of following orders and every soldier/sailor/airman/marines obligation to refuse illegal orders.
That's where the vacuum of space will clean up.
Why is the employment contract structured so that the CEOs pay goes up with shareholder value but doesn’t go down when shareholder value is destroyed? It doesn’t have to be this way. Companies used to be structured as partnerships in most cases with the executives personally liable for harm to the company and caused by the company.

Ironically, I think SpaceX will have a lot more trouble with any E2E ambitions than they would with missions to Mars. So much red tape, no one's going to want a space-port in their backyard, different/difficult economics, safety concerns, terrorism concerns, etc. etc.

Because otherwise they couldn't hire a good CEO. Unless the shareholders and the board are making bad hiring decisions.
Landlords often require renters insurance for this exact reason and definitely try to hold tenants liable for damage. Many states have laws to prevent landlords from doing exactly this.
The review scale is not wrong. It's the value we put into entertainment that is problematic.
There are a few things I like IKEA for (the aforementioned "Grundtal" kitchen racks work really well) but generally I prefer more individual furniture (watch Friends where Phoebe responds to Pottery Barn furniture if you want to understand better), and as I'm a little older, I prefer timber furniture (I had more steel/glass stuff when I was in my 20's), which is where IKEA fails hardest, because practically all their "wooden" furniture is just particle board/plywood.

So, for furniture I try to use smaller local places that either sell direct or at least are selling locally built stuff (this works in my favour when you consider the above - shipping assembled solid-timber furniture isn't cheap). This obviously doesn't work everywhere, but I detest living in the city so it hasn't been a problem for me so far.

For general housewares like kitchen utensils/etc I don't see a lot of difference between IKEA/<Name your local shop with homewares: Kmart, Target, etc> so it's just whoever has what I want, but IKEA's constant focus on low price also makes me a little wary of anything that isn't obviously just solid steel/wood (e.g. anything with a steel 'head' and wood/plastic/rubber handle, is basically guaranteed to fall apart) because in my experience these items embody 'you get what you pay for'.
iMessage is, as far as anyone knows, end-to-end encrypted.* There is a macOS client, so it seems likely that any backdoor in the encryption would have been found via diassembly by now.

* looks like Apple is trusted for key discovery. Abuse of this trust could be tested with the Mac iMessage client. That can’t detect a targeted attack, of course, but I don’t think that’s what you’re claiming is happening.
Considering Earth-to-Earth, can the BFR launch through most weather scenarios?

Have you ever started a company that successfully exited? Or managed a product from cradle to grave?

There is another comment in here about perspectives gained from taking on multiple roles. If you can’t think of a single case of a great salesperson adding multiples to a product’s performance, I gently suggest broadening your scope.

Liberal? Have you read Breitbart? Bannon has ideas about class and economy that support egalitarianism - if you're a Christian, support old-school western cultural values, and are white. Apart from a few populist notions I don't think there's anything about Bannon that could be called "liberal".
You could adopt Umberto Ecos attitude to his library. Once, when asked if he'd read all the books in his library, he said no, but why then have such a large library? It's to remind him of all the things he doesn't know.

Canonical (Red Hat, Ubuntu editon) tried to build a mobile OS. It got scrapped.
But is that because you'll pay someone to assemble similar furniture, or because you'll buy better furniture that isn't just IKEA flat-packs?
Right -- many states have laws to prevent landlords from writing such clauses.
Maybe companies should filter CEOs based on their own confidence in their performance. I wouldn’t hire a sales person that wanted a large salary or guaranteed bonus; that means they don’t believe they will perform and earn a larger bonus.
tbh I'd imagine most furniture wouldn't either. It's a one way trip.
Careful, people might get the idea from this comment that everyone doesn't deserve a trophy just for being physically present.

No, the current SpaceX rockets are ICBM enough. This is much harder - ICBM's don't need to land at ~0 m/s vertical speed, and if they carry nuclear warheads (are there conventional ICBMs at all?) they don't need ~1 m landing precision.
Everyone young is rushing to the cities in order to make any sort of decent living but finds that housing costs are so high it doesn’t really matter much. Those staying in rural America can maybe afford housing but they have no stability.

Ehm...where is this the case? Pretty much all exchanges that I actively monitor all list their order books, trade history etc. in bitcoin, with a varying number of decimals, and they also accept orders in bitcoin denomination as well. Sometimes they offer a switch in their own trading UI to use mBTC (milli-bitcoin, a thousanth of a bitcoin) as the unit, but that is always optional and I know nobody who uses it.

That being said, I also had a great laugh reading the article when it came to "200,000 satoshis". Although I totally believe her - it's hard to earn significant amounts of BTC via mining today without investing huge amounts of money and dealing with constricted ASIC supplies, so you need to have time and cash to blow at it. But she shouldn't have mentioned that number in the context of "yeah, our mining ops suddenly started to generate huge returns".

I suppose some of it would be lost to the vacuum of space, though it would have to be an impressively large space transport market for that to start making a global difference.

Also weird to think about the long-term implications of Earth's resources leaving Earth permanently/irrecoverably.
I should have been more clear. The very next episode ("Henry To The Rescue"), Henry agrees to help, and leaves the tunnel (which conveniently, The New Yorker writer forgot to mention).

I agree they left it kinda weird, especially if you only ever watch that one episode. And that's why it was later edited.
> If you can’t think of a single case of a great salesperson adding multiples to a product’s performance

more than a linear multiplier

Read more carefully.
Thanks for the detailed reply.

Personally, IKEA fits my lifestyle pretty well as a young urban-dweller. I don't really anticipate having my furniture for more than 5-10 years and their aesthetic definitely matches my preferences.

I've actually looked at some more "premium" stores and really disliked a lot of their merchandise unless it was obscenely expensive (ie. 10x the price of IKEA).
Elon Musk’s Mars colonization update: start time, streaming, and what to expect
We could also decide, as a society, that this is a problem; that the perverse incentives in place are harmful and change how companies are allowed to operate. For example, until the 90’s investment banks could only be general partnerships, meaning each banker was personally liable for the debt of the firm. What do you think that meant for how seriously they took underwriting risk? Similarly, law firms cannot sell stock and must only be owned by lawyers because society believes any other ownership structure would have a conflict of interest and harm clients.
