Cool video, thanks! They also mention this website[1] where you can see the status of the whole DSN live, what antennas in what locations are communicating with what spacecraft, with signal strengths and transmit powers and bitrates and all.

They mentioned that the received signal from the Voyager spacecraft is actually stronger than the signals from several closer craft, because the Voyagers have such good antennas.

The videos of their decoder screen brings back memories of doing very similar things with oilfield tools. The same sorts of techniques are used to get data from deep below the earth, though not with RF but mud pulse telemetry instead. Same digital encoding types and decoders. I got to work with the guys who designed all of the telemetry systems and wrote the decoders for that stuff too.

There is no way to drive down demand but keep prices high. That's not how economics works.

Software Engineering at Canadian universities does not contain a dramatically different level of vocational training (with the exception of Waterloo).

Co-op programs are optional, and take place in the summer or in a gap year. The affiliation of companies hosting co-ops is loose, and the schools charge large fees for participating in these programs (with the exception of Waterloo).

Speaking from personal experience, results may vary.

A comment there mentions the specific time that causes it:

I found that the crash problem occurs when the datetime is after 2017 Dec 02, 12:15am. The problem does not happen at 12:14am, but once the time goes past 12:15am, and I do a hard reset, the problem returns.

...the real question then, is what is special about 2017-12-02 00:15 ? It's not a leap day[1], there are no leap seconds, and nothing about the epoch timestamp stands out either. I'd love to read about the cause of this bug.

You really, really don't want to put fuel and oxidizer where they don't belong.

If you run fuel lines to the cargo compartment and something goes wrong with the mission halfway to Mars, it would be much more difficult to figure out whether the incident was caused by a fault in the rocket's design or by the one-off modifications.
On a side note: Can we talk about fence height restrictions? Ain't that some bullshit?
If they're planning on Mars orbit, and not a Mars flyby there's a propulsion system.

edit: Unless by Mars orbit, he means, a solar orbit similar to the orbit of Mars. Which actually probably is what he means. It's just the right blend of technically correct, but slightly misleading.

Potato, potahto. If the experiment produced different results, mathematicians would not be asked for an opinion until the physicists came up with some other math. Because the experiment matched, mathematicians were obliged to invent a framework to justify it.

Maybe I am not reading this right. However, it seems he wants to put a Tesla Roadster in orbit of Mars? If so, that is a terrible idea. Our own planet has so much space junk floating around that it is becoming unmanageable and actually harming future launches. Why ruin the orbit of another planet? I certainly hope this car has some sort of de-orbiting mechanism.
Vivid Subject Matter by Genia Volkov
Crimes generally involve a mens rea and actus reus — a guilty mind and a guilty act. For example, battery is the intentional touching of a person, either against their will or to cause them harm. If it weren’t like that, then every time one person bumped another in the street it would be a crime.

> A few years ago, AdaCore's Robert Dewar observed that nobody has ever been killed by a flaw in Avonics software.

While that may be technically correct, I would consider the crash of Air France Flight 447 to be partially an avionics software failure.

Responding to an inconsistent airspeed measurement by disconnecting the autopilot and then dropping into a weird, modal operating state (alternate law) and throwing control over to the very surprised humans counts as a software failure in my book. Having a stall warning that tells you to do the wrong thing is a software failure in my book (the stall warning turned off when inputs were invalid, but then turned back on when the pilots actually made the correct maneuvers because the inputs weren't invalid anymore).

While ultimately the failure for that flight was human error, a smart reaction by the software at any point would have prevented that tragedy. The biggest "smart reaction" would have been to flag the invalid airspeed to humans but don't change anything.

Whoever thought that dropping a suddenly dynamic system into the hands of surprised humans was a useful action should be shot. In reality, nobody thought it. Each individual subsystem had their own failure procedures, and nobody ever tested what happened when they interacted.

At least it makes a tiny bit more sense than sending a car with an internal combustion engine to a planet with no oxygen in its atmosphere. It sends a very clear message: you're not gonna be driving that gas-guzzling SUV on Mars. Electric is the future.

The next mission might actually carry a Tesla rover to the surface. Then maybe a large battery-backed solar array so the rover doesn't need to worry about its energy budget anymore. The "silly" mission could even help Tesla/SpaceX gain important insights about how their batteries fare in space. Never underestimate Elon Musk, even when he seems to be having too much fun.

One problem is that Apple did NOT release a security update for older systems along with 10.12.0 and 10.13.0. Only when 10.12.1 and 10.13.1 came out did they publish patches for earlier revisions. That gives everyone a choice between using a .0 release (ouch) and running an unpatched OS for about a month.

I get woken up by kids, birds, whatever, very often and I'm afraid I'll never get a constellation at this rate.
Apple used to release a security update for revision N-1 and N-2 every time the current release got a point upgrade. However, 10.12.0 and 10.13.0 were both released on their own. Only when 10.12.1 and 10.13.1 were released did older systems get patched.

So every time a new macOS release comes out, everyone has the choice between running a .0 release, or running an insecure OS for about a month.

Even if it gets to Mars there's no way to put it into orbit. It'll either hit the planet or go shooting past.

The homeowners already have the greatest carrot of all: their homes. They could sell at any time for at least a million, move somewhere without crazy housing demand, and gorge themselves on steak and lobster for the rest of their days.

Their entire ask is the desire to keep their neighborhood the same. The only way to give them that carrot and build more is to build humongous interconnected complexes underground which, besides being too expensive, is arguably unethical (lack of sunlight / fresh air).

Shearwater (Techstars '15) | Software Engineer, Senior Software Engineer | Boston | ONSITE | Full-time | $70k - $180k

We are a tech startup that helps schools deliver 1-on-1 mentorship to all their students. Our customers include Tufts University, Washington University in St. Louis, University of South Carolina, Northeastern and Penn State. Our users are students and alumni of these institutions.

Our mission is to directly increase the national graduation rate. We do randomized controlled trials to measure our impact on a given school. At the same time, we are constantly A/B testing new experiments to make progress on the deep human questions that underlie what we do:

- Out of the thousands of alumni from this school, who will make the best mentor for this student?
- What ingredients go into a profound mentoring relationship? How do these relationships get sustained?
- What helps students stay in school?

Overall, we have a nonprofit's mission and a tech startup's culture. We raised our seed round and went through Techstars in 2015. We are on our 4th consecutive year of tripling our revenue and are fortunate to be profitable.

We currently have 2 engineers (an overall team size of 16), one of whom is writing this message. We are hiring a 3rd. Our stack is Heroku/Postgres/Ruby on Rails with an EmberJS frontend, but we don't dock you points for not already knowing these technologies -- we care far more about demonstrated ability to learn. See http://shearwaterintl.com/engineering/ for more about our engineering culture and processes.

* While this is an onsite position, we have an extremely flexible remote work policy: work remotely whenever you feel like it and it's OK with anyone you're meeting with that day. I work from home two days a week.

Apply through AngelList (https://angel.co/shearwater-international) and mention HN in your note. Or send me an email (eli@shearwaterintl.com) and let's talk more.

Can you explain why?

If you think it's immoral for the profit motive to be in play when it comes to healthcare, then fine. But to single him out like he's some kind of extreme amoral outlier or something seems really unfair.

Most people got the drug for free or at an extreme discount, and he spent all the profits on drug research. What he did is pretty much how the entire pharmaceutical industry works.
