I see an office one time with oddly long hallways 3 times the height and width one is used to. It had a marble floor that echoed loudly and ended in a Kremlin sized door with a single employee behind it. When I asked why it was that way they explained it was to force the visitor/coworker to repeatedly reconsider if his thing was really worth disruping that person with. To the question if that realy worked the answer was a description of the previous office where coworkers would fly in and out out of convenience. They would stick their head around the corner for 5 word sentences. Apparently productivity went though the roof in the new building.
I created some animated science education videos and guerrilla-street-usability tested them, mostly with adults. As a hobby project. I was surprised by the dramatic impact of reading-listening interference and cognitive load. It turned out to be well known, but lacking that background, I found it bizarre to have an character and simple environment appear, read text on the screen, and then when I hit pause, and asked for feedback, get "well, you might add mention of <thing that was just moments ago said and shown>". And at least once, when I replayed the same video, get "oh yes, this version is much better".

> specs and standards generally aren't written as introductions

Sometimes, but I often find them to be pretty good, and if I look at third party sources first, I usually wish I'd come to the spec much sooner in the process; the actual spec tends to make most third party sources redundant or plainly erroneous.

But of course, not all specs are equal; some are unreadable or poor introductions.
Ask HN: What tool for creating project templates do you use?
Creating a correct project directory structure, with all best practices put in can be a little tedious. Something like https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter would let me use pre-created templates other people audit/expand. Is there anything else you guys use?

The only exception is airline mergers - some Virgin America captains are eligible to join the ranks of Alaska Airlines captains, out of recent examples.

An even better launch platform is empty space (pick any Earth moon Lagrange point) where there is no delta V penalty.
The moon is a lot worse than any habitat on Earth, and will be that way for a long time.

Furthermore, do you have a list of what Bezos et al give to charity in attempts to improving the current planet? It's not negligable.
Yeah, but anything that ends up on the moon must have come from earth, so why not just launch from the earth?
I really wish I had enough karma to downvote this. Sure, using "free" ad funded services doesn't cost any money, but a price is still paid. Do you really think there is 0 possible consequences of every step you take both physical and virtual being persisted and replicated and mined ad infinitum? People think they pay with their attention, but they also pay with their privacy. Not the "my interests include fantasy football and romantic comedy" kind of privacy, but the "on June 4th I visited a gay bar 6 hours from home so no one would recognize me" kind. Then since you scrolled through Facebook while you were there, they start suggesting other people there as friends, and showing you ads based off of their interests.

Knowledge of who you associated with and what you do when no one you know is watching might not seem dangerous to you now in the western world living through the longest period of peace in Europe since the fall of the Roman empire, but that shit gets people killed. You don't have to look far back. You don't have to look far away either, shit happens today. How many people lost their lives in communist/fascist revolutions over the past century even, if only because "they associated with the enemy"? Can you imagine what the SS could have done with the kind of data that modern ad companies have?

More exciting to me would be a fully automated moon base. Much more realistic and the advances it will help bring to robotics can be exploited for profit here on earth, a win for everyone.

I don’t see how building a moonbase where people live really helps people on earth. For that matter doesn’t the low gravity leech calcium from your bones or something? Why would anyone even want to live on the moon. Sounds unpleasant.

The trick will be to developing a delivery mechanism for dropping and installing semi-autonomous robots on the moon.

Also, of course, we need robots capable of doing anything a person can do - even to the point of repairing other robots. Not talking self aware, just with the appropriate agility.

If you look at the moon as a really good space station as opposed to a planet, I think there are many good reasons to set up a base there.

* Gravity: enough to help with long term habitation, but low enough that getting on and off is much, much easier than Earth.

* Close to Earth

* Enough space that one could build a lot of things. It's a lot cheaper to dig than it is to launch more space station modules.
There is increased complexity when launching from empty space / manmade built platforms. There's also the potential for Project Orion to be launched from the moon, where this would probably not be acceptable from empty space.
Realistically though its much, much harder to cut down on regulations than invent new ones. There is much more inertia one something is in place, because some people's jobs depend on regulating it / some businesses have already sunk money into complying / etc
Herd mentality: if everyone is getting a degree, i must too. If getting a degree is an investment, why don't put as much money in there as possible, if ROI is constant?

Both wrong. Most people who are getting college degrees nowadays simply can't make enough use of them to even break even. People have to stop! They are the only ones to blame; capitalism has no checks in place to prevent people from harming themselves, maybe that's bad, but ultimately, it is their decision to get a diploma they don't need and can't hope to put to good use, is to blame.
You can send 50 rockets individually to the moon to deposit fuel and use it as a refueling/relaunching point. 50x fuel can't go up with the passenger-laden craft in the same way.
It teaches us how to live on other planets, which is quite important for the long term survival of the human race.
I fundamentally don’t understand how anyone can see this and think, “nah, fuck those guys.” Clearly we cannot be a single-planet species forever and survive. Beyond that, it’s such a hard challenge to push our technical skills against, and the ultimate adventure for those who go.

The universe is vast and we haven’t left the cradle yet. There is so far to go for us. It makes me feel so much better about Earth and humanity just knowing we are doing this.

As was said by XKCD: "The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space--each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision."
There are much, much better ways to fix the current planet than to give to charity.
Why do anything? The reason we have all that we have is a combination of exploration and problem solving. Meaning often comes at the same time as you solve a problem, not nessesarily before.
While I haven't had the urge to get any 'smart speaker', I have a hunch that the current hype* around these devices comes mainly from the novelty of being impressed with voice recognition.

As someone who doesn't have a voice for radio, I much prefer being able to interact through dexterity. Besides, I'm very picky when it comes to which specific track of music is to be played (out of various similarly named pieces of music).

* I don't think take-up is quite as big as the tech world currently makes it out to be. People in my circles don't really have that kind of disposable income and are prioritising other purchases first.

So yeah, Alexa is a lot of extra literal work for little gain.
>> I fundamentally don’t understand how anyone can see this and thing, “nah, fuck those guys.”

It's currently en vogue to hate Bezos, Musk, and anyone else who is spending money on spaceflight instead of donating all of it to poor people / fixing the planet / fixing the government / whatever, as if it's a money-only problem and that these people don't have vast charitable giving programs.

I realize this doesn't answer your question, but that's the main opposition.
Probably isn’t that significant relative to wealth, and in Bezos case that wealth is built on the backs of warehouse employees who have to use food stamps and piss in bottles instead of taking a bathroom break.
not sure why you are being downvoted. It's a funny typo
> anything that ends up on the moon must have come from earth

For now.

The key multiplier to changing space exploration is making that no longer true. And you could do a lot worse than solid ground, with gravity, near Earth as a first permanent step.
Just ruining this planet and spilling over to other systems to do the same there would shockingly resemble what viruses do.

Probably true, and the majority of them can't be solved by throwing money at the problem. Spaceflight, however, can. The idea that Bezos doesn't give any shits about the current planet simply because he is interested in going to the moon is reductionist nonsense.
That could be debatable.
There's a lot things we can do. That's not a reason unto itself. This is just adventure travel, gussied up with delusions of species destiny from space operas.

Why not settle the Gobi Desert? Develop technologies to suck carbon out of the air, and reverse global warming? Develop technologies to cope with climate disruption, or even just purchase land for the anticipated climate refugees. All of these are really Hard problems, and billion times more pressing, and much more obvious impact.
I've noticed that I have been modifying my purchase preferences to favour Bezos and Musk (holding out for that Model 3). Not because their stuff is better but I'd like to think some of the money they make of me goes into uplifting world-changing things like this.
Out of all the organizations that do bad for public policy, you're going after Google. And out of all the things you can get Google for, you're going after the latent heat of their servers?
>charging companies for 0days in 3rd party code, in at least many cases, would not make sense.

Well you've just made the workaround trivial. Open source the majority of everything under a separate org and then use that stuff from the product being shipped. Therefore any vulns are not their problem.

>And if we're talking about router companies, they have the cash

I don't think you understand how tiny the margins are in consumer networking gear. Lowest price dominates.

Suggesting they be liable is a legal component.

>> Probably isn’t that significant relative to wealth

Ah yes, I've run into the Earth arbiter and judge of significance of charitable giving.

Some days I wish Bezos et al would reduce their philanthropic giving to $0 for a calendar year and see what people have to say about their previous stingy behavior.

But to what end do we need a really good space station?

I realize we can work on more than one problem at a time and that it is expedient to do so. But I often wonder how much space exploration, particularly manned missions, are a distraction from more pressing issues on our home planet.

Also, if space exploration is a more scientifically exciting problem than say, ensuring enduring sources of clean water for the millions of people who don't have access to it, well then, that's a sad world indeed.
The other great thing was the built in motivation, that you could get your homework done faster with only a little effort. I remember one of my earliest successes was a classical mechanics solver where you could put in whatever you knew (time and distance) and it would spit out whatever it could come up with (average velocity and average acceleration assuming initial velocity of 0). Pretty handy!

And of course you can have this device in your hands during many classes making it so at a moment of enforced boredom you have the opportunity to learn.
> * Close to Earth

* Close to Earth while maintaining a nearly constant distance.

* Always reachable. Never is it on the other side of the sun from Earth.

>> Also, if space exploration is a more scientifically exciting problem than say, ensuring enduring sources of clean water for the millions of people who don't have access to it, well then, that's a sad world indeed.

Enduring sources of clean water for everyone in the world is a scientifically very easy problem to solve compared to most of what is discussed on this website.

The problem is that it is a politically very difficult problem to solve. And you want Bezos/Musk/etc to fix this... how?
The general term for this is grammatical number. English gets by with just singular and plural, but this is by no means universal across different languages. A singular/dual/plural breakdown is quite common as well--Arabic, for example. You can also have a paucal form to represent "few", with or without the dual as well (Arabic has dual and paucal, Russian just has the paucal).

On top of this base strata are some more choices. You have some choices to make for 0 (English says that 0 gets a plural form, French believes it to be singular). You can also choose how the rules differ when you get to systematic naming for large numbers--do you lump it in with many, or do you reuse the rules for the small numbers when they show up in larger numbers? Note that systematic naming doesn't have to be based on base-10 (say, Danish), nor does the start of systematic names need to happen on a clean boundary (English starts it at 13, for example).
I see a few problems with those points:

* Yes, but unless all resources and future astronauts are all from said moon base then they have to leave Earth anyway. Stopping at the moon would take even more energy.

* Close to Earth yes. But not really to anything else (the moon is relatively right next to earth compared to any other object really worth landing on).

* Build what? This is similar to point 1. To get any resources there we still have to send them from earth. It'd be relatively waaaaay cheaper to send more space station modules then to either send raw resources + specially designed building equipment, or moon base modules.

Don't get me wrong. I'd vote for it and pay my share in taxes to develop and build a self sustaining base on the moon. My reasoning is more of a engineers "because we can" mentality to a fun (IMO) challenge. We'd also benefit on Earth from the technology developed.

As per the article, we as tax payers are on the hook for the debt that will be defaulted on, so the fact that this system has spiraled out of control will hurt all of us.

I think it's self regulating just fine. It's met the needs and desires of the majority. I just think Privacy advocates are a very vocal very small minority whom found themselves in power in Europe. Basically everyone save a select few would rather have the convenience Facebook has brought over the privacy GDPR tries to bring.

I assure you the majority would rather have free services than self righteous lack there of.

The majority do not want nor really care about Privacy to such an extent. The majority do not see themselves as easily manipulated, and do not see the harm.

I happen to agree and think the EU has killed the economy in the name of something no one really wants.

One risk in that case is if there's a heavy, early snow before the leaves are off the trees. That's really hard on trees, which is really hard on the power grid.

I have read this yesterday. I am personally sympathetic to JP but very apathetic to the entire situation.

He has built a large following for a variety of reasons and is attempting to do something which neither the author, nor myself can even guess. Let him have a shot at it, no point in these articles, they will never persuade his followers.

He has made it clear that he is more than willing to become a martyr and as such, nothing can stop him except himself. I truly wonder how far all of this will go.

How does anyone think it's a good idea to take out $1M in loans for an education? Yes, tuition costs are ridicules and in general students have no control over them. In general, I feel like students are taken advantage of. HOWEVER, students certainly can choose not to attend a certain school. If you choose to rack up $1M in debt, I feel like that's solely on you and your (obviously) poor decision making skills.
Oh God, I don't want to delegate the task of fixing to the world to just a few tech moguls.

I mean the US has blocked 3 major semiconductor deals recently. The free market is pretty important but clearly some compamies and technologies should not be sold.
