The observed failure rate during fuel loading is 2% with a big error bar, based on one accident. And the cause of that accident has been mitigated.

The expected failure rate for the LAS is pretty high, high enough that the loss of crew/mission statistic computation doesn't include the LAS.

> Obviously it's impossible for compromising credentials to have no consequences -- if case, why do you have credentials?

For systems that only require a username and password to log in, someone else obtaining/guessing my credentials would have the consequence of someone being able to access my account. But if there's a second credential I have to enter in addition to the username and password, then someone trying to use the username and password alone would not be able to access the account.

Where I work, this second credential is the RSA token along with a PIN. But this could also be accomplished by using a client side TLS certificate on the work provided device or U2F with a work issued Yubi key.
This is not quite what I had in mind, but it's quite interesting. One recommendation: don't use a username, that approach has a number of flaws you can easily avoid here.

Apparently Bacillus Thuringiensis is used to genetically modify some kinds of plants/seeds like corn/potato/cotton etc, so the plants become naturally resistant to certain insects/worms. But these insects/worms are also now slowly getting resistant to the bacteria (evolution). It doesn't seem like there is genetically modified bacteria itself that is used as pesticide....

I love finger! Back in the early 90s, I wrote a thing that would let you see what was playing on the CD-ROM in my desktop Linux machine. I used some finger daemon that allowed scripts to be executed as part of a .plan. You would finger music@somethingorother.vanderbilt.edu and a shell script would call "cda" (a command-line version of xccd and it would look up the disc name and track names from CDDB, pipe it through some sed and awk-foo and send it out to the client. I got fingered from around the world all day long.

There were all sorts of fun things you could finger around the 'net. My favorite was a VAX at McMurdo Station in Antarctica. The latency was several seconds. I posted about this years later on Slashdot and a former sysadmin chided me and said that all of the fingers were chewing Ho their minuscule satellite-provided bandwidth.
Does the service require you to maintain a wallet with them? As in, you deposit money and transactions are drawn from your deposit? Otherwise, I can't see how accepting such a low amount per transaction could be feasible.

For some things I prefer the subscription model because of the incentives it creates, every article I read or day that I go to a gym lowers the overall cost-per-visit. With a per-article or per-visit model, I would be disincentivized to read and go to the gym. It also frees me from repeatedly making the same decision every day, do I value $1 more the content of this article? Do I value $10 more than going to the gym right now?

For me the nice thing about blendle is cheap access to several sources, if they have a prepaid plan that charges monthly at $10 for 60 articles (16c/article), I would do that.

I think it depends a lot on if you experience journalism as more similar to a gym (exercise for your brain) or netflix/hulu (entertainment).

SpaceX has lost 2 F9 so far. The first exploded in flight, but the Dragon capsule could have been retreived, if the parashutes had not been disbled in the starting phase. The second fueling for the static fire test. In both cases, no crew would have been in danger, and of course the causes of the failures has been adressed.

But it will at least take another 12 months till the first planned crew flight. If everything goes well, the Falcon 9 will have about 30 more flights till then. A lot of opportunity to build a safety record.
> gitlab [...] also [...] has no HA roadmap in sight unless you

We run a very large in-house GitLab installation and the HA is easy
because:

1) GitLab stores data on the FS, and you can outsource this problem
to e.g. a NetApp filer.

2) The data it doesn't store on NFS it stores in psql or MySQL, which
has established HA solutions.

Once you have that set up you can load-balance the GitLab nodes and
provision / destroy them at will.
The question is stated correctly, I believe the mix up is in the part about triviality.

> “Non-trivial” means here that there is some number of blue dots for which the statement would not have been true.

I think this is supposed to say "Trivial means..."

If there were 98 blue dots, your statement would not have been true, so it was trivial information.

Essentially, if the people of dot town can figure it out themselves, then you've given them a trivial piece of information. They know there aren't 98 blue dots, because they can already see that for themselves.
People need to understand that the alternative to ads is paying hundreds of dollars a month in subscription fees and then still not having access to all the services you would have had access to in an ad economy world.

People in Europe will soon get this wakeup call. Services that were only marginally profitable are already shutting down because of GDPR.

Same here. My fault for reading too quickly, but I was seriously intrigued.
I hear this claim a lot (that Gmail's spam filter is so much better than others) but that hasn't been my experience. Spam was not a problem for my corporate email account at my last job that used Exchange and after switching from Gmail to Proton Mail last year (with the same email address on my own domain) I haven't noticed any real difference in the amount of spam than makes it to my inbox.

It may have been true that Gmail did a much better job than most other services when it first launched but I don't think it's been true for several years now.
From experience, one thing that happens is any "text messages" from your friends who still have iphones get routed into some black hole until you visit a page on the Apple website and "reset your number".
I think the idea is instead of having 1 user pay you $30 a month, you have 10 users (or more) paying you $3 a month, you end up with a net win (even at equivalent of $30 a month of revenue because now you've had more eyeballs).

The problem is most publishers still don't necessarily believe this model or think it'll work, or think it's too risky. Blendle was able to do it because they started their own platform and essentially required little work from the publishers themselves to integrate (Blendle devs did most of the work to import the content, publishers just had to agree), and the Blendle solution doesn't "rock the boat" for these publishers, i.e. doesn't change existing users on their web site's behaviors.
There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of state funded media but the Koch-linked corporate think tank narrative of "big bad bureaucracies" is a pretty facile one.
Maybe:

"The thing that drives the 1 in 270 is really micrometeorites and orbital debris … whatever things that are in space that you can collide with. So that’s what drops that number down, because you’ve got to look at the 210 days, the fact that your heat shield or something might be exposed to whatever that debris is for that period of time. NASA looks at Loss of Vehicle the same as Loss of Crew. If the vehicle is damaged and it may not be detected prior to de-orbit, then you have loss of crew.

I think it really depends on the actual numbers for both "chance" and "survivable." You want to minimize something like the product of "chance of occurrence" (frequency) times "chance of death, if event occurs" (severity). The numbers really matter.

I completely agree it is a dysfunctional work environment where the engineer's only recourse to having a sane schedule is taking their "manager to a dark alley."

That said, framing the problem as: "those skills are not skills we teach anyone" is the problem.

One-time payments for software amount to a pyramid scheme where you benefit from the money of future users. That's not without its downsides either, where your userbase grows indefinitely yet doesn't pay for its own support-email rent.

There's obviously a middle ground, like being able to at least use the version you paid for indefinitely but having to pay a smaller price to upgrade. But which direction a pricing structure goes also depends a lot on the niche and type of software.

Citing the worst examples of "subscription abuse" isn't really an argument either. Of course you can find examples on each end of a spectrum. But as far as most software pricing goes, if it's so bad, then people wouldn't pay.

I can't for the life of me understand how the HN success story Dropbox has a long term future.

For the same $9.99 a month that you pay for Dropbox's 1TB Of storage, you can get....

- 2TB of storage from Apple for iCloud

- 1TB for each of 5 users on One Drive plus access to the entire MS Office Suite for 5 computers and 5 mobile devices

- 1 TB per user plus everything else you get from G Suite.

-Amazon Drive is 1TB for $60 a year.

Obviously (in these cases) there are market segments that favor all you can eat subscriptions and those that favor à la carte. It makes sense that for most things the heavy users get the sub and the light users get to pay for what they use. However I thought of a counter example. Spotify. I would normally be a light user of music. I had some CDs in the 90s but lost interest in the whole thing by the time I graduated Uni. However it’s still nice to listen to some music sometimes. However I couldn’t imagine being able to buy all the singles I listen to in a month for less than €9.

That’s the secret. Price your subs so it’s a better offer for the lightest of users. Not hard in the music business that was ripe for disruption.

And I think that’s the message in the article. Subs themselves are not the problem , but the way they are priced . (Although the fact that he spends so much money on subs kind of negates his argument. It seems like people like him are happy to pay which reinforces the soundness of the business case).

Incidentally I subscribe to ms office even though I would never have paid a one off fee for it. I think it’s cheap enough to justify its value. I also subscribe to Netflix but should really cancel. In europe there is not much content there. When I first got it i watched maybe 4 or 5 interesting documentaries now I never see anything there worth watching. I might unsubscribe after my daughter finishes binging gravity falls. (She’s not a big user either we both find YouTube more interesting and relevant than European Netflix)

Everyone expects the LAS (launch abort system) to not be very reliable. So you're a bit optimistic about the outcome of the second failure: big danger for the crew.
It sounds like you are literally offering to give a monad tutorial, which is brave because, notoriously, so many people have attempted that, usually using metaphors.

Wadler's misleadingly titled earlier paper "The Essence of Functional Programming" is actually more elementary than the one linked to, and gets to the core of the issue:

"2.1 What is a monad?

For our purposes, a monad is a triple (M,unitM,bindM) consisting of a type constructor
M and a pair of polymorphic functions.

unitM :: a -> M a

bindM :: M a -> (a -> M b) -> M b"

If you can read this code and understand what a type constructor is, then that is the most general, least metaphorical way to understand monads in FP.
If people want internet without ads then need to pay for the service with different means. I can see a problem that it is extremely difficult to find a company that would process payments for you if the website you have is for adults only for example. Potentially this could be solved by cryptocurrency, so that you can run your own payment processor, but I have not seen a solution for subscriptions yet.

If you want to find a real master of the world then you should confirm how few people were among the true greater philosophers in our history. But that will be very hard for you without a guide because the ones who were alive in the past have already had their records changed past the point of usefulness to humans. Aside from that, use a search engine to see if one has appeared recently. What search term do you need to find such a being?

The principle of the world is that what happens is made by 'what is' in problems. People don't realize why things happen to them until a long time passes because they are not so conscious of the causes they carry in own consciousnesses. That's why Socrates said to know thyself. Then you will be able to see. However, how do you really get to know yourself? The answer is to know life. Like I said, every living thing does something repeatedly on the basis of what is in its origin of life. You can change results in your life for the better by changing to better problems.

It is also surprising how much other subscriptions cost compared with Office 365. Office 365 contains the most complete office suite in existence, probably larger than many operating systems. It also includes 1TB of OneDrive, and free monthly Skype minutes. And the 99 Euros that you quote are for five persons.

Most subscription software is a terrible deal in comparison. I have tried to avoid subscription software as much as possible. But we have a family subscription for 1Password because $REASONS. We pay $60 per year for (in comparison to Office) a small software product, with small cloud storage, of which we only need a couple of megabytes for storing encrypted passwords.

Also, I wonder whether this will lead to a slower development of the software.

Most likely. Once you are locked into some proprietary data format, it is often more expensive to move to an alternative, and it is easier to subscribe. Once a substantial part of the user base has a subscription, there is no more need to entice users with a new version.

Subscription software does not benefit the user.
So I keep a few GB of source online via CVS http://unix.superglobalmegacorp.com/ , and I have been shying away from git anything as I did a gitlab install for someone and was amazed at how much hardware I had to throw at it, unlike CVS+CVSWeb.

Although just seeing how trivial it was to deploy now I'm thinking about maybe running this in parallel at least. I still like being able to use CVS from ancient machines... But this does look nice. I guess time to look at cvs2git.

I agree somewhat, I've always wondered if the "work out instead of coffee in the morning" is a myth people like to spread, because I never feel like that myself. In the morning, my energy level is simply not high enough, and I end up running less or lifting less than I otherwise could. However, I enjoy exercises in a different way: after work. I'm a programmer, so after an entire day of brain exercises, it feels extremely refreshing to be able to exert physical energies at the gym. (I've read articles on this specific topic, where if you're tired mentally, it's better to engage in physical activities than taking a nap, because it uses a different area of your brain. Don't know the source off hand.)
