Elon Musk: Rockets will fly people from city to city in minutes
It won't make sense for most people for the first 30-50 years. That much is clear. However, it still has to make business sense from day one for some people. Otherwise the project is dead and forgotten, just like it happened to the Concorde.

Vanity is a sin in the New Testament too.

And, religion or not, is a silly sentiment that ticks other people off, leads to bad decisions, makes people unhappy, and life itself punishes in several ways anyway.
Unconnected? these parts are all on a single IC these days, "connecting" is almost always a matter of firmware... you think they would have bothered including a physically separate device that they intended to not use? the reason old models had FM is because it's all on one chip based on someone else's design that is difficult to modify, unwanted features aren't worth removing on that scale.
The comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I'll accept that I oversold it.

I was curious how RNNoise would perform on a noisy street scene. I grabbed a section from a random noisy video and ran it through RNNoise as well as light naive use of the noise removal plugin in Audacity sampled from the 43rd second. The speaker distortion, as noted by ZeroGravitas from their fancy example, is quite evident but I'm still pretty impressed.

Isn't that done for the safety of the ships, in case of debris coming down on them? If they make rockets reliable enough for passenger transport that wouldn't be an issue anymore.
Same, my local grocery store added more machines after an initial phase and there are disproportionately bigger lineups to use them than the cashiers.

Not to mentioned Ontario, where I'm from, just passed new minimum wage laws ($15CAD/hr) and a bunch of retailers are responding by investing in self checkout for the first time.
That's... really awesome. I think that may have to be a follow-up feature for this project.

Thanks!

I didn't do any technical analysis, but to me RNN sounded as if they had just cut all noise between the narrators speech, and played all sound during their words, giving you a sharp amplitude difference and "stabbing" sensation.

At least that's my take on why Speex is subjectively more pleasant, with which I agree.
Source? I've heard quite the opposite...

Edit: according to an international study theft increased from 1-2% to 4% but 60% of the people polled said they only stole it because the item wouldn't scan. This seems to be a technical and UX problem. There is a lot of room for improvement with the machines and from my experience it varies by store.

Otherwise 75% of people said it made their experience faster.

I wasn't able to find any evidence of 'lots of stores removing them' though...

0. I'm not sure that quality is actually better. Yes, the highest frequencies of FM are lower, but a. Not everyone can even hear well above FM's 15 kHz. b. FM is analog with no lossy compression. Mp3-based radio stations @128kbps are noticeably worse than e.g. 256kbps and CD-quality audio. 256kbps stations are probably undiscernable though.

1. Only radio stations over a certain size. That necessarily means more commercial, less off-the-beaten path material. When I visit Miami, for example, there are many small, interesting radio stations with no internet portal.

2. Discovery. If you don't know what stations are available in your area, there is no simpler way to find out than simply spinning a dial along one axis. And what's the advantage of stations in your area? See #3 :)

3. Relevance of local culture. I like to hear banter, jokes, news, weather and concert listings from around my area.

4. Use of a single device. This is more of a cell phone vs. FM radio question. Of course if your phone has FM radio, you can tune in, but then you can't be on the phone and using your GPS at the same time. In my car I can scan for local stations while the GPS is running on my phone.

5. Tracking. If I'm using FM radio, I'm listening anonymously. If I listen via digital network, that info can be sold to many different countries.

6. Quality of experience. On FM, the transition between stations is nearly instantaneous. On digital wireless networks, there's always buffering, making it longer to find something good.

7. Convenience of calling in to the DJ. I often like to call DJs on local stations and ask them about the music they're playing. This is more complicated when I have to turn off the station and turn it back on when i'm done. It often takes a few minutes for them to respond. I wouldn't want to have to turn off the radio while I'm waiting for them to answer. Of course, this might not work as good on a cell phone - like #4 above, it might depend on the implementation.

`apt-get install emacs-nox` pulls in 83MB on jessie. The installed-by-default one is vim-tiny (clocking in at 27MB), not vim-nox (which pulls in an additional 21MB), for which there is no similar emacs package. Turns out nano is ~370kB, that makes for a small non-modal beginner editor, the modal one being covered by vim-tiny.
>soap opera

Soap opera isn't really the term you're looking for. Soap opera (besides the literal meaning of daytime soaps) suggests lots of (possibly overblown) drama about emotional and melodramatic relationships.

You're really just talking about TV series without fixed end points.
Of course, just as you need to sell it to make any money. I was talking about "marketing" and "sales" as in department sense, so what I want to say that you can run a company with just engineering department, but you can't run a company with just sales and/or marketing departments (in a product orientated business at least). Sure, it's probably not the most efficient way either. For example, in my previous job I was working in a small, niche company (optical equipment) that had only engineers (~40 total), CEO and an accountant and it was doing pretty good, we had hard times fulfilling all orders. All "marketing" we did was our CEO + few engineers going to the industry related conferences and shows to generate leads.
"a loving father is angry"

And he acts against the man who kicked his child. We call this normal; permitted, even recommended, by our common ideas of morality. But if he went on to commit a genocide against the man's family and every member of his tribe, young, old, and unborn, we call that "biblical". And that's why the old testament god is a genocidal maniac.
On the other end of the spectrum, you have people who spend so much time agonizing over which PC/phone/blender to get that they end up in a circle of not being able to decide.

I've spend more time than I'm willing to divulge, deciding which portable speaker to get, because every option is flawed in some way. Most of them seem to follow the Apple school of thought, "why would you ever want to take this apart?", and are glued or even plastic welded together.

In the end, I'll probably go with the Marshall Kilburn, simply for the fact that it's relatively easy to replace the batteries (standard 18650 cells) behind a panel that is simply screwed on, not glued or otherwise "permanently" sealed. I may not be able to service the class D amps or the Bluetooth module, but at least I can replace the batteries or the drivers if one should fail at some point.

As a drawback, it is somewhat bulkier and heavier than most other options.
This is my current hypothesis. Been too lazy to look at the figures though.
You can't fly NYC to Shanghai on a private jet (unless it's a 777 or equivalent, which 99.9% of private jets aren't). This is a real game changer in aviation terms.
If they can maintain all ticket prices below $10,000 that would probably work. It would still be 2-3x what businesses normally pay, but they would arrive 10x faster, so it may be worth it at least for some. Musk just needs enough customers to make the business sustainable and so he can afford to build more such rockets and then keep dropping the price.

I think if we measure the travel time from door to door the benefits of the fast rocket shrink in a relation to where is located.

With airplanes this is solved, by the big infrastructure ( cities sometimes have even 2-3 airports ).

Where I live ( Berlin ) with a flight to NYC would look like :

1. City center -> TXL - 20m
2. Check-in / security - 30m ( no joke, the airport is small )
3. Flight - 9h 15m
4. Check-out / luggage - 50m
5. EWR -> City center - 50m
------------- TOTAL ---- 11h 25m

This means that ( ignoring the BFR flight time, since it's just minutes ) the time between you leave the city-center and entering the BFR should take less than 5 hours ( for Berlin ), otherwise you will not arrive faster than a plane.
You can embed their runtimes. I'm not saying that's desireable, just that it's possible.
Industrial (Oil/Gas/Materials) repairmen. You're talking a few 100,000 for every hour they're not pushing product. These places are located at the resource, not where employees are so you're likely going to need to fly someone super specialized in the maintenance of this one item half way across the globe.

>Why try to whitewash the bible?

Understanding (and understanding in context) is not whitewashing. There's excellent scholarship in the bible, from religious and non-religious authors.

Knee-jerk reactions about "vile psychopaths" are not that.

For one, the "old testament Jehovah" was the person who gave life, the universe and everything to the people who died (e.g. in Sodom) anyway. So it was his to take. Psychopathy applies to people, not gods.
Let's optimize it a bit:

- Get everybody on a boat in NYC harbor with ferry level security (i.e. not much)

- As the boat is travelling to the platform, perform the more thorough check in, any security scans, etc. Everyone simultaneously straps down in their seats, last minute toilet runs etc.

- Slot the passenger capsule into the rocket like a cartridge and take-off immediately at arrival. Plot twist: the capsule was on the boat. Passengers might not even get to see the rocket.

I think that's true. But, in addition, in the US going to an Ikea is usually a bit of an expedition as there aren't that many stores. The stores themselves make things a bit of an event because they're different from the norm, have a fairly nice cafeteria, etc. Add it up and there's a certain aura to Ikea furniture that wouldn't exist if you picked up the exact same box at the local Walmart.
I am not all that familiar with kernel/low level programming, but wouldn't the C API/library internally use syscalls as well? If a C program is written with a dependency on a syscall, and this syscall is changed. Does the code still work after, or does it need to be recompiled with an updated compiler?

1) Removing inactive subscribers is a good thing. You stop bothering those who've stopped caring (but haven't bothered to unsubscribe) and pay less for your CRM/email software (if it charges by number of contacts).

2) Marketers should not rely on opens alone to determine who is inactive. Also look at clicks, and site activity from the past 6 months.

It's not slow or hard to use but you run in to the common problem of extremely unhelpful errors such as null pointers with nonsensical names in the generated javascript when you make a code mistake.

And here I thought I was the lone voice in the wilderness. From Roy Fielding's original paper:

The client-stateless-server style derives from client-server with the additional constraint that no session state is allowed on the server component. Each request from client to server must contain all of the information necessary to understand the request, and cannot take advantage of any stored context on the server. Session state is kept entirely on the client

I've heard enough verbal gymnastics to fill a book trying to excuse how modern web apps aren't violating this condition.
Around where I live, beside Walmart Superstores, those supermarkets that added some self-checkout have since removed them. Self-checkout is such an abysmal experience in supermarkets especially if you buy things like produce that I'll actively avoid any store that uses them extensively.

I think you can at least add a background-color of the color the gradient ends at, so it doesn't end with just white.
like this:

background: linear-gradient(to top, #30cfd0 0%, #330867 100%) #330867;

if I'm not mistaken, that should work, otherwise, just add the background-color property with the desired color.
