Ask HN: Great examples of 20th Century Engineering
On a HN thread about how pictures taken of the moon by NASA in the 60s were taken with film, developed in space, and then scanned and beamed back to Earth, brought up a lot of comments about great 20th Century engineering such as a bowling alley.

My question is what other great examples of 20th Century engineering do you have?
[Disclaimer: I'm not a physicist]

I thought that due to relativity, if the elements are travelling close to the speed of light then they could still travel for thousands of years even if their their half lives are much shorter. That's because the element only appears to be thousands of years old from our frame of reference; their age is much less when viewed from their own reference frame. Though given the size and mass of these elements that might be a moot point since it's unlikely they could be travelling at near light speed anyway, due to the enormous energy it would require for them to do so?
Individuals also don't care anything but their bottom line, so this whole line of reasoning is void of meaning.

The most silicon valley quote from an interview!
While we're at it, let's add a sugar tax, high-fructose corn syrup tax, fried food tax, GMO-food tax, extra car taxes,poor-taste book tax, and a bad-movie-tax. Hopefully this will force people to do what I damn-well know they should be doing, and make them run their lives better than they could themselves.
This has not been my personal observation of how it works, at all.

Rather, this reads as a dehumanizing portrait of women as fickle pursuers of status.

How I actually observe it working is that men who are open, thoughtful, emotionally vulnerable, and communicate without animosity can have lots of intimate partners.

Possibly not the specific partners they had their sights set on, though, which is where the “dehumanizing” part comes in.

>> To my knowledge, there is no reason to minimize jerk for machinery.

Maybe not for a blob of homogeneous metal parts, but with complex structures that jerk can multiply into bad things. As the nose hits air (the sudden high G-load) a shockwave moves down the vehicle at the speed of sound (sound through metal, not air). Shockwaves can do funny things in complex structures. Imagine that this thing had a solid rocket motor for circulization. As the shockwave moving down the metal walls at one speed, slower through the fuel, the fuel might crack in ways that are not-good for a rocket.

Fluid-filled things like pipes can also be subject to water hammer-like effects when g-loading changes abruptly as opposed to a gradual onset. The fluid gets moving quickly as the pipe stretches at one end, then must stop abruptly as the pipe hits its limit.

When I left San Diego for the Bay Area in 2008, I repeatedly heard from others, "I could never leave this place".

As I prep to sell my Bay Area house and move back to San Diego, I have only heard "I don't know if I can stay here much longer". That sentiment is the same regardless of the person's occupation, from VC partner to guy at Staples recycling my old electronics.

My gut feeling is that they had the prices for 1BRs and for 2BRs, and the numbers sounded more impressive with the 2BR. They could've easily displayed both so people could do their own calculations for roommates, etc.
Any examples that are applicable here?
* Case (Plastic) - USA Origin

* PCB (Milled, Drilled, Components Soldered) - USA Origin

* Connectors - USA Origin

* Firmware - USA Origin

* PCB Components (Items affected by the tariffs) - China or Otherwise

As far as I know that would qualify as "Made in the USA" or at the minimum "Assembled in the USA". Over 75% of the components have USA origins and the final transformative step is done in the USA.

Please note that I am not trying to be deceptive in my future product's labeling.(6+ months until launch.) However, with political changes like these tariffs they are something that can basically change my stance on how I decide to source in the USA.

It's difficult to be precise, but I'd bid it out as a minimum of 6 orders of magnitude less, and if someone wanted to bid out 8 or 9 I wouldn't fight them.

It's not a zero-impact issue, but there's so many differences between this and Heartbleed that it just can't be that large. For one thing, there's several orders of magnitude fewer users of GPG than SSL. Then you need a vulnerable configuration. Then you need to have been exploited. Those three things multiply out to quite a few orders of magnitude.

Yeah there seem to be this tension between people who advise to keep things as short as possible and those who recommend "selling" a message/piece of information as a captivating story.

However, it seems to me as if the story tellers usually win, even if they take more of the listeners'/readers' time.

On the other hand, one could argue that Seth Godin (mentioned in the tex) actually does both at the same time.
I mean, this is why I don't look to the Mises Institute for real economic analysis. This is blog post is case in point, they base the whole idea of the deductions reducing the marginal rate on one anonymous former accountant, interspersed with bitching about 'liberals'.

EDIT: I mean, their charts are blatantly mislabeled (even against their argument), showing a top marginal rate of over 90%. These people are just incompetent.

It will make different if the encoding compression is different. Not all 1080p streams are equal. A 1080p FHD blueray is around 30mbps. I've read 20mbps h264 being almost indistinguishable from 30mbps blueray. In my own personal test using some Starwards bluerays, a 10mbps looks pretty good compared to the blueray. On YouTube I've seen anywhere from 2-4mbps being used for 1080p and 7+ used for 4k.

A 4k or 8k stream is coming into your computer at 10+mbps and being downsampled to 1080p can very contain more information than a lower quality 1080p stream coming into your computer at 4mbps even after downsampling.

The goal was to provide a more enjoyable writing experience as an alternative to the more traditional screenplay writing process. When your away from your desktop and you want to write a couple of scenes down quickly our app is a nice place to get it done. You can transfer your work from the app to the desktop and continue to write.

The implication behind Goodhart's Law is that people are good at gaming performance measures. You can game profit measures too[1], but it's difficult and there are strong incentives not to. Another counter-example that doesn't involve fraud is Amazon, which was unprofitable for a long time.

Have low aspirations, and set up camp in a boring job akin to a jail cell, in a place no one wants to be, doing something no one wants to do, and work alongside washed up people who are not inspiring to talk to, and perhaps have never had the chance to even try to become an inspiring role model for others.

Liferism looks like a DMV employee. Postal workers are often lifers, so not all lifer jobs are inherently disappointing, but certainly none are glamourous.

In the 1990's the internet introduced some existential threats to lifers working for the USPS, and since then, the USPS has weathered some rough seas. Putting yourself in the position of a lifer is not precisely enviable, since forces from beyond the protective shelter of the lifer job can still augment economic realities enough to affect such a station in life.

If you find your way into a lifer job, and you grow old while working it, should the day ever arrive that your lifer job disappears in a puff of magic smoke, you might never find comparable employment again.
So instead of indulging in the “hurrr it’ll never work” superiority stimulus, I’d Like to point out some rays of hope

When the enemy has limited personnel and equipment - targets such as body count, vehicles destroyed etc. are very good measures of progress.

And FYI the US handily and clearly won the Vietnam war; the South Vietnamese insurgency was defeated and the North Korean Army was obliterated.

Due to political pressure at home, the US withdrew after the war, and a short while later the North Vietnamese were able to rebuild their army and waltz in and topple the fragile S. Vietnamese government. The Communists then murdered 10's of thousands of people in the streets and imprisoned 100's of thousands and of course enforced totalitarian rule which kept millions in fear and poverty.

Were the Americans to have simply left a contingent of soldiers in the South, thereby keeping the legitimate threat of violence, it's unlikely the South would have fallen and might very well look like S. Korea today.

To your point, 'body count' is not a very good number to use when you're fighting an insurgency where there are a lot of irregular forces who can come in and out of fighting, or where soldiers can be replenished (i.e. North Vietnam can recruit willy nilly on their turf).

But it's still a valid measure and though you don't hear about it these days (for PR reasons) you can absolutely be assured that all NATO forces meticulously con't how many enemy forces are destroyed, and that it is a 'target' on many missions.

"If quark matter is found (or produced in accelerators), it may be stored and then fed with slow neutrons or heavy ions. The absorption of these particles means a lower total mass and thus a release of energy, mostly in the form of gamma radiation. Unlike nuclear fusion, this is a process that should be easy to initiate and control." -- Bob Holdom

Oh really? Does the paper give any idea about how that might be accomplished and where the energy would come from?

Then only problem with saying "everybody is the same" is that its not true, but when you say everybody is not the same, people use it to discriminate against them.
There was something like that in North of France last century. The coal mining companies constructed a lot of houses for their employees (wikipedia page, in french https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coron_(urbanisme)).

It's definitely not bad. It provided poor miners with a decent place to live. Today a lot of them are still here, renovated and retired miners still live in them, most of them for free (my grandparents for example).
Yeah, that's the knife edge I feel like I'm on right now too.
Haha all you oldies will hate this. I think its time to admit that Javascript is taking over.
There's two ways to reach the desired state here (no full time employed individual cannot afford housing) - increase pay, and decrease housing costs. The trouble with increasing pay is that the rents themselves are set by the market - the bay area has dramatically under built housing for decades, and is still not building much. Raising pay for everyone is essentially a giveaway to current landowners - rent will just rise to absorb the new money flowing into the same amount of housing units. This effect can be observed (at a much higher scale) in the Mountain View housing market - landlords adjust their rent increases with the google stock price. Better solutions include:

1. Get rid of single-family-home zoning for large swathes of the bay area.
2. Incentivize developers to build more units per site, rather than fewer - https://www.sfhac.org/state-density-bonus-arrived-san-franci...

And FYI the US handily and clearly won the Vietnam war; the South Vietnamese insurgency was defeated and the North Korean Army was obliterated.

That’s a serious, if delusional claim that requires a loooooot of support. “Handily” in particular seems like a ridiculous way to state it, even if you only look at US casualties.

I did QA for a Pega BPM project at a regulated company, working with an off-site (though on-shore) Pega consulting firm. Aside from the usual big-co version of "agile", and that this was a legacy rewrite, the process was more or less the same as regular C#/Java development.

Funny thing with Pega is once you break out of the normal BPM-style flow, you'll write almost as much code as an all-code platform, just cookie-cuttered into form fields.

I just asked for a link to the Stack Overflow harassment survey in question because I was curious. To be honest I did have some doubt about the validity of the interpretation since the comment implied that users on Stack Overflow are anonymous, which is clearly not the case for everyone. So I suspected there was some misinterpretation in play. In any case I can't really have an informed opinion either way since this document remains elusive.

> No, it exists and I saw the original link.

Well I guess I have to take your word for it then. Apparently asking for the link rather than accepting the claims unquestioning means I am a brigadeering lynch mob scared cow with an agenda who cannot stand someone not toeing the party line? While referring to the claims without being able to provide a source is totally fine.

I am prepared to apologize for assuming you hadn't actually read the alleged source. I do think it is fair to ask for a source though.

Sorry to hear about the false allegations raised against you, hope you are better.

Exactly, it conveys underlying data model of dynamic languages, or to be specific, of a common subset of their data types.

As for data validity, this is completely separate question. I don't believe that validation should be a part of the language or data format -- my language lets me write 'age = "yellow"', and so should my data format.

It's also interesting how they design the warehouses to place the unnecessary items in the front (where you are excited to shop) and the essentials at the back (where you might be more hesitant to pick up anything). They also sometimes reduce prices on memorable items to induce the sense of affordability for the whole store.

Cygwin does a good job with the ssh config file on Windows, if anyone is looking for tool suggestions.

This wasn't in OPs question, but have to add that if possible, put your SSH keys in the servers known_hosts file and you can have secure passwordless login, which combined with the ssh config file on your machine is fantastic. I just do "ssh $SERVER" in cygwin, where $SERVER is my defined alias pointing to an IP, and that's it. Takes literally five seconds.

Just because one can make an analogy doesn't make it illegal. We'd have to read and understand the laws.

But to your point: IMO theft is not a good analogy for this. It's not theft, its inflation.

In the bank scenario the bank would still have a copy of the $100. And so would everyone else. It's true, copying money devalues it - just like openly spreading a secret does - so everyone has less than $100 inflation adjusted dollars.

Theft is not a good term for this. I think the crime should be called "Spread of trade secrets"

If I were the mayor of Chicago, I'd take that money and spend it at the airport itself. This line shaves 25 minutes off the travel time for a fairly small subset of people. The gains to be made at the airport are far greater. I get there 25 minutes faster, only to spend the next hour screwing around at the airport. If we:

1. Staffed security such that there was never a line,
2. Staffed the ticket counter such that there was never a line,
3. Installed double ended jet bridges so that we could load and unload the plane twice as fast,
4. Put moving walkways everywhere,
5. Improved staffing and efficiency of baggage handling, such that you could drop your bag 20 minutes before the flight and have it get on the plane,

We could shave 30 minutes off the airport experience, for every user of the airport, not just the ones that happen to be coming from downtown.
