I'd more impressed in some other context since a willingness to skimp on validation and "red tape" is how a bug like this ends up in production in the first place.
>Would a 1cm³ / ~10 gram steel bolt be a problem? What about all of the chunks of debris created by previous space collisions and anti-satellite weapons?

The satellites on this rocket were launched into a ~500km polar orbit, which means that they're moving at ~7.6 km/s. If they were to run into something at the same altitude in an equatorial orbit, they'd have a relative velocity of >10 km/s. That 10g bolt has as much energy as a sedan going at highway speeds.

Chunks of debris from previous satellites are absolutely an issue - the ISS cupola was visibly damaged when it was hit by a literal fleck of paint.

Everyone would be completely floored if someone built a gun for the new knightship. It's likely to be several orders of magnitude harder to find a glider synthesis for the knightship, than it was to find the knightship itself.

To build some intuition on the difficulty, check out the list of spaceships for which a glider synthesis is known:
http://conwaylife.com/wiki/Glider_synthesis#Spaceship_synthe... .

Except for the macro-spaceships (some of which are pretty trivial to construct because they're self-constructing anyway!) and the Corderships, which aren't elementary and are made out of easily constructible pieces, the biggest spaceships with known constructions are all far smaller than Sir Robin, and most of them are lower period.

Every time you add a few cells to the size of an active pattern like this, you probably double the total difficulty.

"The task of constructing such a spaceship has been likened to building a Formula-1 race car whilst it's on the track and travelling at 200mph."

We have no Microsoft affinity but have moved our large SaaS application from AWS to Azure. Our tech stack is 80% linux / OSS and 20% .NET. And we're deprecating the MSFT portion as quickly as possible.

For us, Azure was a big win for security compliance and data sovereignty. Those factors triggered the switch.

After the switch, we came to realize that Azure is much stronger in support and in the ability to interface with the Azure product teams to help guide the direction of the platform.

I've seen some recent reports that Azure is growing twice as fast as AWS so I wouldn't count them out by any means.
Sure, there are certainly users who will mix the drugs, but mixing the two and then selling it as just cocaine seems strange. Supplying strong opiates to the (potentially) opiate-naive without their knowledge seems to be an unnecessary risk, and it is probably bad for business as you aren't supplying the experience that a cocaine user may be looking for.
I think this will work for certain modalities of products.

Deciding which products to replicate first is key.

The "CA ownership verification" ones are a bit excessive.. 'admin', 'administrator', 'webmaster', 'hostmaster', or 'postmaster' are the currently permitted localparts for domain validation. (From 3.2.2.4.4 of https://cabforum.org/wp-content/uploads/CA-Browser-Forum-BR-...). It was more 'CAs make up their own scheme' in the past though but thankfully that's been reigned in.
They also used to have a thing where you could buy, with real money IIRC, little icons for your "friends"; quite some time back I think.

So building a fully functional browser is not higher priority than getting the half-baked browser working in a niche environment? I'm half joking here, and half serious. How is a browser supposed to look differently in VR? And why does it need to be aware of the fact that it's in VR? People are still developing interaction and navigation methods in VR.

The rules on ebikes in California are very different - there is a 20 mph speed limit for throttle control, and 28 mph speed limit for pedal assist. But the limit applies to the bike, not the road. I got confused by the differences between the two laws.

Equifax is yet another form of financial corruption. The charge/fee incurred in freezing your credit is so close to a shakedown - this is absurd. Credit ratings of the population are a product they sell to financial firms and then they charge (read shakedown) that population for pausing the sale of that data so you the consumer can prevent irreparable credit harm. Then when they screw up and allow a leak of your data which will eventually cause irreparable harm they have the audacity to bully those they've screwed over.

Savings and loan banking, and the risks associated with it, is a separate thing from the basis of the currency. If Bitcoin-as-a-currency ever develops to the point that you can have a bitcoin-denominated savings account that earns interest, your bitcoin-denominated assets that you place into such an account will be just as susceptible to bank insolvency as any other kind of money you can deposit in a bank.

That, and, I think you have the analogy backwards. It's not that nothing is held in reserve - that would be Tether ;) - it's that everything is held in reserve.

LifeViewer has evolved in a somewhat different direction from the original LifeView, and is still a work in progress -- Chris has been contributing a lot of useful LifeViewer functionality to http://golly.sf.net , and vice versa.

The source code is not currently available -- see http://www.conwaylife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=&p=35511#p3... . That's also probably the best place to ask any further questions about LifeViewer -- I'm just a beta tester.
We use nats mostly for synchronous tasks (where the response has to be returned to the exact client initializing the request) and pubsub for everything else.

When cloud computing commoditized running your own hardware or datacenters, people started tightly-coupling their applications to these cloud providers. One of the great benefits of containerization is that it commoditizes the cloud providers, allowing you to decouple your service from them. I think "serverless" like Lambda is pretty obviously an attempt to "re-couple" these applications to the cloud provider in a sort of "de-commoditization". Interesting to watch.

The idea looks good on paper but in practice it is pretty pricey and impractical. You get free sandboxing, scaling, and stateless deployment out of the box but are charged by the second. It's really optimized for simple web apps (or microservices) - think backend for form processing or resizing a picture. Anything moderately complex e.g. python scientific software is impossible due to the 50MB compressed app size limit (including all your dependencies), if your app takes more than a couple seconds of compute time, it will burn a hole in your pocket.

> How is a browser supposed to look differently in VR?

Great question! Some of the best early work on this was done by ex-Mozilla, current-Google employee Josh Carpenter - check out:

http://www.joshcarpenter.ca/declarative-3d/
http://www.joshcarpenter.ca/vr-browsing-explorations/

There's a lot we can do that is even beyond these early explorations to deliver new features to developers to experiment with and users to try soon via Servo, alongside GeckoView in new VR/AR-focused browser products.

If you take a look at the link I provided above on remaining work and rough estimates to get things just working in Servo (and not FULLY web compat), you're looking at an effort of several years for the entire team, and that's assuming the web platform both stayed still and went ahead and finished writing all the tests and specs for everything on the web that is today neither tested nor fully spec'd. I don't see that in the cards for 2018.

Neither. It's just typical corporate lawyer arrogance in trying to bully and bluff someone into submission.

It really only works on complete amateurs. Given this guy is running a company whose sole purpose is to finance claims against Equifax, he knows how to deal with them.

All in all,I'd say this is a win for the US legal system. It shows you don't have to be a well-funded professional litigator to get access to justice.
Expensive, especially if you are utilizing API Gateway. Otherwise, it's amazing.
It's because you can initialize the array with particular values, like: `type a[3] = { 1 , 2, 3 };`.

But I agree that it would make sense to fill the array (or have an easier method to do that), it may just be an argument of speed. I think OSes generally hand over uninitialized memory zero'ed out to prevent reading of memory from previous programs - so it's a case of allocating the memory space and then continuing, as opposed to setting values for each position.
Because there are people who would press that button on non-spam calls as well. And then litigation hell will break loose.

Sort of, as low earth orbit is considered "international" space much like the oceans are further than 200 miles from a coastline. Or look at Radio stations that broadcase into the US. There used to be an FM station in Mexico that I could listen to at night between LA and Vegas because it was broadcasting way more power than the US would allow. But in that case it wasn't being operated by "US persons". And as an amateur I'm familiar with the rules the FCC has for me operating a space station, and they would pull my ticket if I violated them. However that leaves the question of the satellite. And the classification of it being a 'rogue'.
I'm really proud of what the Servo team has achieved and since I'm always looking at it from a big distance, I believe you are all able to judge this much better than me.

That said, this news do not sound good to me. Again, this is from a great distance, but from here, taking a future-focused team with great respect from the community, a team with an important and invaluable mission and that has successfully delivered over years, and shifting it (or forking it) towards complete uncertainty feels like a dangerous move that reminds me of the phone OS efforts.

Good riddance and may your vision be right. We need someone with Mozilla's goals looking deeper into VR so that we don't end up in the hands of the Big Corps in the near future, that is for sure, no matter if VR ends up being niche. How important that technology will be for the masses is yet to be proven and that's why I fear for the web, the battle proven real thing that faces the greatest threats from closed silos today. I don't feel it should be taken on equal terms with what is still fictional speculation. It needs full energy to make it to the future in good health. We already failed to deliver a beautiful, open and user centered internet to the future, we can't loose the open web.

Brahms and Bach were both in an unusual position: their profound mastery of compositional craft was partly made possible by their position at, even past, the end of the tradition of music they represent. By the time Bach was writing his intricate contrapuntal masterworks, the world had moved on to homophony, and while Brahms was crafting balanced, classically-proportioned works, Wagner and his followers had been boiling Romanticism into Expressionism.
