strongly welcome this type of content, and this kind of talk - there are many unknowns and we are oft running wild with something that should benefit from a better integration with the legal system - for the outside legal boundaries, and for the inner integration with a world that still hears "Magic-Internet-Money" every time someone mentions Bitcoin
I like Tessa. I hope they succeed as a company. That said, their claim that the driver had his hands of the steering wheel for 6 seconds implying that they are absolved of any wrong doing seems hard to buy. They may eventually be absolved of wrong doing legally, however I think that statement is bad from PR point of view in addition to casting a bad light on the autopilot tech (It got confused within 6 seconds of him taking his hands off)!
No. I think this is people thinking that SpaceX is going to capture more market share from ULA and Ariannespace.
Tracks are a superior design in theory but fail to be flexible enough to work in varying weather conditions and complex dynamic routes. It's better to have invisible guidance rails and let vehicles maneuver easier.

tl;dr No. Commercial launch is a big market, and SpaceX is eating it alive.

SpaceX is finally following through on its promises and has put a lot of the technical risk of its strategy in the past. All that risk was priced into old valuations, so with a now-reliable and frequently-launched vehicle in Falcon 9, and successful follow-through on Falcon Heavy (less of a big deal economically than the media brouhaha makes it out to be), that risk has gone down and so the valuation is going up.

The launch business is a big [1] (but not enormous) one, and SpaceX has gone from around ~15% to ~45% market share in two years [2]. In my understanding, US DoD launches are a small, but particularly-high-margin subset of that market.

[1] $8.8B annually, according to https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180116005923/en/Glo...

Yes, that's the sense that's close to wordplay.

Betting on any currency is speculation, not investment. And although currencies may be useful, that doesn't mean that buying more currency than you need for practical purposes is going to turn you a profit.

Indeed, the opposite often applies. A good currency has low volatilty and is easily exchanged for other things. The US dollar has been a great currency for decades, but buying lots of dollars wouldn't have made you rich, because dollars are not productive assets. They just sit there. No serious investor parks lots of money for long periods in currencies; it's better to buy productive assets (e.g., stock index shares) in that currency.

If Bitcoin ever becomes a good currency, it too will be a bad choice for speculation. A financial company with Bitcoin infrastructure might be a good investment. But Bitcoin's high volatility, which makes it great for speculation, will have to vanish if it ever becomes a decent currency.
That sounds weird because I was just surprised to learn that here in Hawaii there are areas that don't have postal delivery. Not a "put the mailbox out on the highway" kind, but the "we don't go there, get a PO box" kind.
Please no. SpaceX is too important to be pulled into the financial mess of Tesla and Solarcity.

Unless handled very carefully, using affiliate links damages my perception of the writer's integrity. When money's on the line, maybe their motivation for writing wasn't to share their experience of finding the best product for the lowest price.
In rare cases, like the AppliedScience youtube channel, the quality of content is so high that the affiliate links in descriptions don't tarnish my esteem for the guy.
> If not, I'm not sure how having a driver's license is relevant?

The driver is licensed to operate the motor vehicle. It is their responsibility to be familiar with the safe operation of the vehicle.

Do you believe that anything additional was required here other than keeping the car in it's lane?
It's the reality of a large codebase that there will be parts that followed the best practices of 5 years ago, best practices of 10 years ago, and so on; that's not an anti-pattern (indeed I'd be horrified if the code from 5 years ago wasn't noticeably worse than today's code - that would imply that the industry and the team had made no progress in the past 5 years).

What makes the single supporting example given for this supposed "pattern" bad is that it's full of churn, parts rewritten in a different way that wasn't better, just different. The idea that this is an antipattern relies on the fallacy that all choices are tradeoffs and there's no such thing as a better way of doing things. Whereas actually e.g. NHibernate is enough of an improvement over DataSet that an application that's half NHibernate and half DataSet is much, much nicer to work on than one that's all DataSet, despite the inconsistency.

The real antipattern in the story is making technology choices without team consensus/buy-in. If one developer adds a code-generation framework that only they can maintain, it should be rejected during code review. There's very little value in one developer unit testing on their own if the rest of the team doesn't care about maintaining tests. That's the real problem, and none of the suggestions in the article address it.
Nov 16h, 2017 Docker creates a blog post covering why Swarm is key to the future of Docker EE and K8s integration: https://blog.docker.com/2017/11/swarm-orchestration-in-docke...

March 9th, 2018 Docker creates a blog post highlighting a major new feature coming to Swarm in Docker EE 2.0 (alongside K8s integration). https://blog.docker.com/2018/03/enhanced-layer-7-routing-swa...

There's a lot more evidence that I hope to put into a blog post soon. No company will guarantee they will always make a product, but we've got years of enterprise support for Swarm as it is, and they keep adding functionality so I have no evidence of them stopping or even hinting at such a thing.
Also everything in English has dozens and dozens of exceptions that you just need to memorize.
I agree that the kana were pretty good. Everything after that was just incoherent and I'd rather sit down and read through Genki instead, memorise what I learned with a Anki deck and maybe even spend some money for a teacher in iTalki. I've also had good success listening to Michel Thomas recordings while commuting. While none of this except most versions of Anki is free, neither is my time and learning a language especially Japanese is a massive time investment to begin with. I'm happy to throw money at the problem, especially if we talk $50 for a text book or $15-$20/hour with a native teacher.
I actually made that statement with the pace of the front-end world taken into account -- ember actually churns additionally :( . Part of Ember's openness to doing things better often involves deprecating/removing parts of their API that they're convinced was wrong before -- it's not a bad thing, but it means that if you get stuck on some version, and the next version has gone a different way on some concept/part of the framework, you're going to have a bad time, even if the landscape hasn't moved much yet.

I spend a lot in frontend land and I've grown somewhat accustomed to it's insanity. I actually even like it at this point -- Let everyone go insane in all the different directions, watch how they fare, then let the good stuff rise to the top, and pull out the interesting paradigm shifts if there are any. Platforms like C# often have a lot more enterprise weight behind them and "stable" takes on a completely different meaning.

I might even say that churn in .NET is happening too, it's just way way more localized. For example the .NET core/standard move is happening right now, but I can only assume that the vast majority of codebases on .NET 4.x don't care at all, and are letting it work itself out maybe over the next year before they even consider moving (if they ever move at all). As a person who's struggled with porting a .NET 4.x package to .NET core/standard, and with some associated libraries (EF, mostly), it was not a pleasant experience, but by the time it gets to everyone else, it probably will be.
I'm a Docker Captain and Swarm consultant. Yes, lots of proof here's just a few things from a similar post last week https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16771118

Checking the box by default is a dark pattern designed explicitly to trick people into signing up without realizing it.

There was no trickery involved. Not even slightly, not in even one case where I was choosing to be a supporter. The indications of what would or wouldn't be sent were invariably perfectly clear, and the only things that ever have been sent were in line with what was stated.

Again, "dark pattern" is too often used as a euphemism for "something I don't like". If you have a genuine option that is clearly shown, that's not a dark pattern. And if most of the people filling in the form are going to choose to turn on that option, I fail to see how having it turned on as the default is unreasonable either.

We're not talking about something presented deceptively in the middle of a long and complicated page full of other options to add some unwanted but chargeable extra on your holiday booking here. We're talking about charities doing important work wanting to show their supporters that the money they're donating is making a difference, and showing an immediately clear and readily understood option that is part of a short, simple form for supporters to fill in. They did ask for real consent. You just don't like how they did it, and I'm not sure why your personal opinion should outweigh widely established practice that was doing no real harm.
SpaceX raising $507 million isn't going to dent much as it pertains to Tesla's funding needs, so that's almost guaranteed to be a no. Maybe they buy $50m or $100m worth of Tesla bonds, it wouldn't be a meaningful scale vs their funding needs in 2019-2020.

Tesla will do a minimum of a $2 billion funding raise whenever they need to next. They're claiming they won't need to do a funding raise this year (we'll see).

The SpaceX capital would be far more likely purposed to help pay for BFR & Starlink.

edit: downvoters want to clarify what's wrong with what I said? It's extraordinarily obvious the $507 million raised by SpaceX isn't going to bailout Tesla. Mathematically it couldn't even if they wanted to put it to that use.
SpaceX is the only reason I see Tesla not going bankrupt. Not necessarily by directly funding Tesla, but Musk can certainly prop up Tesla by leveraging SpaceX's success in various ways.

Anyone who saw the SpaceX falcon heavy launch should have got the message that SpaceX and Tesla are BFFs.
I can’t help but think that the lawyers and marketing team for Donald Trump struggle keeping up with this same task on a daily basis.
After my first startup went down in a burst of flames I spent years angry at everyone and everything like a big black tumor carried inside my heart. It sounds dramatic but that doesn't make it untrue. I learned a lot but I lost a lot more.
Thank you for the feedback. We will add some extra information. In this particular examples there seem to be no warnings. However, as I said the new version is coming soon.
On the contrary, Musk reportedly took out loans against his Tesla shares in order to participate in this round - to the tune of $100 million.

It's interesting that the USPS is in fact a service explicitly mandated by the US Constitution, not merely an agency that somehow crammed into the commerce clause + necessary and proper clause.
I love this. I think I might add some tour-guide comments to our codebase.

As a buyer of commercial sex from consensual adult women, this is some background information:

* Consensual sex work doesn’t mean that they’re thrilled to be doing it. Just like you can hate your job you’re consensually employed at. Most of the women I see are doing it to simply make a lot more money in a lot less time and get to see their kids more, do other things, etc.

* Backpage was the bottom of the barrel in online sex work. More drug addicts (whom I consider borderline consensual to nonconsensual depending on the severity of their addiction) and pimped girls there than elsewhere, but also some less attractive or less put together consensual sex workers.

* Backpage was almost entirely about prostitution, unlike Craigslist.

* Post all of this, girls are harder to find for sure. The winners here are people with access to clients (pimps) as well as good escort agencies, as well as well established girls with regular clients.

* Internet prostitution brought a higher socioeconomic class of prostitute and client to the marketplace, and took some girls from street sex work to much safer online sex work.

* Likely long term impact is a big reduction in the overall volume of commercial sex work with the higher socioeconomic class women and men deciding it is not worth the risk. Markets will return to the street, with fewer participants, higher prices, and more danger for those who remain.

* From the utilitarian point of view, whether this is an improvement or not depends on how much more harm you think a pimped girl being raped in a car is compared to a college student getting fucked in a hotel room for $300 to help her pay bills rather than working 30 hours that week in the campus bookstore.
I don't buy that. That is what the media wants you to believe that it's a petty personal vendetta. Think about the conflict of interest there from the media.
> Journals are very much a profit center for the publishers.

For Elsevier, Springer, WIley, yes.

For IEEE? For ACS? For AIP? Not so much.

> nd it is not all the clear that these profits are commensurate with journal quality

THey're not. I shouldn't have to pay $35 dollars for an Elsevier PDF when Elsevier didn't even have the decency to spend some of that money on copy editing to help authors who don't speak good English.

But I should pay a price. Because the alternative is for someone else to pay, someone who does not have my interests at heart.
Generally Musk's finances aren't built around direct sales of his stock or transfer of capital from one business to another; it's all about borrowing using his ownership stakes in his companies as collateral [1].

Increased valuations give him a much larger ability to draw on third-party loans to dump into whatever business he likes: the risk being if his investments don't pay off, he risks losing control of SpaceX.

Effective demand has subsided. Some people who used Backpage will find another site, but for many finding one won't be worth the effort and they'll find another way to amuse themselves that evening.
Time Tracking: Coding vs. Compiling
As a remote worker myself for nearly 2 years now, I will definitely vouch for the advantages that come with being able to work at the same pace during on-call (off duty) events.

More than once I've been around when nobody else was, just because I happened to be already preconditioned to keep an eye on chat at all times.

The other point that resonated especially with my work experience was the ability to quickly get in touch with anyone/everyone, from all levels of the organization. It's no different to me which window I'm typing into, though if I were in the office, I would certainly be hesitant to bother a director level person, even if I were completely justified in doing so.

I guess my point wasn't that damage containment was a perk. I view it instead as a lack of support- either cultural or structural- from the more experienced developers.

Microservice / faas may help mask it, but you're still stuck with a lot of bad code... Only now, there's less oversight and / or accountability.
I think GP's point is that there is no such thing as "semi-infinite" and thus they can feel superior to them for not understanding how infinite infinity is.

Where worker productivity really comes from
Could be more like hundreds of billions in the very long-term, as they plan to just keep growing it in size, capability, and per-satellite mass. Enabled by BFR.

That’d put SpaceX in league with other telecommunications giants.

That’s, of course, not the only possible outcome, but that’s why the valuation is so high.
Reading the indictment and doing some reading beyond that was tough to get through. Your bullet points lay it all out, and I just keep running through...

There must have been quite a few people involved in something that complex. I find it mind-boggling that so many people could live with themselves while profiting from, and enabling child sex trafficking. I accept that they clearly could, but assuming it’s not just staffed by sociopaths, it’s hard to imagine how they could. How did they rationalize it? How did they sleep at night?

I try to imagine the answers, but I guess I lack the mental horsepower to pull that off. I keep defaulting to anger or sorrow or confusion, and just hoping that they’re all sick. I don’t really believe that though, so I’m left wondering “how” a lot.
Almost every team I've worked on has explicitly forbid refactoring, as well as any check in not directly in service to an approved feature addition or bug fix. And the bug fixes generally need to be minimal. A long time ago, I believed I might get somewhere by promoting refactoring. That got me nowhere. Then, I believed it would be best to quit and find a team that liked refactoring. But I didn't find any teams like that. Now, I mostly work alone, so I don't have to give a hoot what the rest of you are doing or fretting about anymore :)
In industries that still make money--even ones with better software-chops than the New York Times--writing/researching an article, and presenting it, are still separate jobs--and for good reason! They require orthogonal skillsets and a decent amount of time and hands-on experience if you want a professional result.

No one is "only" hammering a nail here.
Cloudflare didn't drop Daily Stormer because of public opinion, but because of claims by Daily Stormer that Cloudflare supported Daily Stormer:

Our team has been thorough and have had thoughtful discussions for years about what the right policy was on censoring. Like a lot of people, we’ve felt angry at these hateful people for a long time but we have followed the law and remained content neutral as a network. We could not remain neutral after these claims of secret support by Cloudflare.[1]

Dropping them for that is 100% justified in my book.

Very, very few places are outright criminalizing it. They're just saying, "This is philosophically and mechanically no different than what already exists, so there's no reason why you shouldn't be following the existing laws."
Let me get this straight. It's a "loan" that's managed as a smart contract that pays off investors as the company turns a profit.

It would seem to me that in order to make this not just a pipe dream, the company would have to operate 100% on the blockchain, presumably Ethereum. Otherwise, how could the smart contract do anything? If I pay one of these "companies" cash, the smart contract knows nothing about that. I would have to pay the business in cryptocurrency, and specifically through the mechanisms defined by the smart contract.

This seems RIPE for abuse. What if they just...don't? Crooked "founders" doing a chunk of revenue through some off-chain business or anonymously outside of the smart contract. "Investors" get decreased returns because the business does not appear to be performing well, all while the "founders" laugh their way to the exchange.

> To access and transact on the Blockhive platform, users must fully register and receive the protocol's Future Loan Access Tokens (FLAT) (transferrable loans that can be assigned to third parties) as soon as they lend funds to the company.

That sounds an AWFUL lot like a debt security to me. They're not even trying to hide it at this point. So in essence, they've invented an ICO where tokens pay dividends over a fixed term, where you just have to pray that the company is being truthful about their revenue.

This sounds like the setup for a giant pyramid scheme. I can totally see a company doing one of these "ILP"s and using the revenue from newer "loans" to pay the interest on older "loans".

Two Years of Functional Programming in JavaScript: Lessons Learned
