Or, given the overall tone of the piece, she didn't feel it necessary to go into those details. I'm sure there are plenty of other details that also went glossed over. Your own tone implies they're lying for a possibly nefarious reason -- what is it? If I'm right, it might be more accurate to point out how she failed to mention the engineer's warnings to NASA and other supervisors about the high risk of failure of the gasket(s), as that, to me, makes them look markedly worse than the astronauts surviving the breakup.

I'm sure it's harrowing to have 2 and a half minutes to contemplate your inevitable death and try fruitlessly to stop it (and even for us to read about it) but I don't think it's nefarious to leave that bit out so much as some degree of respect to the families.

The Essence of Autonomy
There is a difference between "the app can read email", i.e. this piece of software that runs on my computer / my phone / in a Google datacenter can read emails, and "the app can read email", i.e. the app siphons your email off into a third party server, with no privacy or data protection safeguards.

This user experience is well known and understood in the desktop world. Leave it to internet adtech companies to disrespect user's expecations for privacy and personal data protection.

Google could be more honest and label the permission "this app will make your email public for all intents and purposes".

Fellow HN reader/fly fisher here. I tie my own flies as well. As a friend once said - you get to work on these flies through the year as a way to do something fishing related when you don't have time to fish, then when you catch a fish on a fly you tied you can tell it "I started catching you months ago."
Semantic web technologies have had quite a bit of adoption, but it's all pretty niche. JSON-LD embedded in html is the current widely deployed iteration and were it not for googles love of structured data it would not be nearly as big.

RDF shows up in graph databases a lot too.
We can argue what is "fair" all we want but what policy makers really care about is votes not "fairness". "fairness" is a moving definition that is associated with the political climate.

Not that we should completely give up on fairness and let political power decide everything but I feel a bit exhausted reading these arguments going in circles for years..

I recall my now ancient XPS M1330 was known for severe problems with overheating and motherboard failures (I had one replaced) - I also had 2 x HDD failures, and one CardBus slot failure. I knew about this though, so bought the maximum warranty and insurance - which came in handy when I tripped carrying it and smashed the screen.

So far I'm very happy with my XPS 15 9650 4K - but I do find that some apps still don't scale properly.

Yes. I expect the author's mother would seek out school districts with the lowest test scores (perhaps the lowest population of Asian-Americans) and send her daughter there instead. So if what the policy makers really want is to equally distribute Asian immigrants among the city's middle schools, perhaps they've hit on the policy that will do that.

The value of a good education lies in its signalling power too.

There are plenty of good professors in non-elite schools, many undergrad classes are approachable enough that a self-motivated student could absorb a lot of content with little supervision, and a lot of schools make their material available through online platforms. All these are great for learning but replicating the signaling part is more difficult.
Yes, we should punish children for the sins of their fathers.

Provide that definition, please.
They are bursty, and they probably won't keep up their last week of the quarter production, when I'm sure they killed themselves to get to 5k/wk. It doesn't really matter if they were 6k or 4k that last week. If we use the total over the quarter we can see if they were making progress overall, rather than one stupid week when they could do something trick to push up their numbers.

But the thing is, they did triple their q1 production, going from 9.7 to 28.5k so they almost trippled, or went from an avg of 9/12 weeks to 28/12 weeks, a clear increase. The newly announced goal is 6k by the end of August. It doesn't matter if through super-human work they get one week that is good, we can just measure their performance by total production, so I'd guess at least 50k would be another significant increase. It won't be 6k*12 weeks in q3.

Lost in this is the significant additional revenue they get. They aren't making their cheapest cars yet, so at 50k each, that last week alone was 250 million additional revenue. That 28.5 cars is about 1 billion more in revenue than q1. If they double that again, you are talking real money :-)
This seems to disregard some of the other factors that make Lambda > Cloudflare Workers. We run binaries on our lambda instance with a go-based function, since Lambda allows for up to 250mb of binaries, 3gb ram and 30s max, this allows us to perform computationally and ram heavy applications without worrying about our instance being killed off.

Also I looked into using cloudflare workers to write my own custom edge cdn but they currently don't allow you to change where in the call requests are processed or telling cloudflare what to cache vs not cache. If they could have some functionality that would allow you to easily write your own multi layered CDN this would be interesting.
Oh wow. Last time I looked at voat was when gamergate was in full swing and voat had just started up. Most of the content was fairly similar to reddit, maybe with a slight alt-right bent.

Nyc is full of amazing public high schools, as I mentioned in another comment. Moreover you can apply to virtually any public high school in NYC and be admitted based on whatever criteria they set up, meaning you aren’t forced in that case to go to your zoned (regional) school.

These articles misrepresent the situation. There are only three schools that use this test, and they often get the “I studied really hard but I was bad at homework and class participation” student. Luckily there is a mechanism (for now) to catch some of the potential of these students.
If any of the crew had actually survived the whole event, maybe you'd have a point. All I can get from your response is the deep desire for tragedy porn that at least some of the astronauts lived long enough to hit the water. Frankly, the distinction is sick.
"...while I can appreciate sticking to the view that free speech is best for all, there are some behaviours which society has mostly agreed are objectionable..."

Free speech exists specifically to allow people to go against "what society has mostly agreed is objectionable", that's the whole point.

If there is any loophole in a centralized system, there are huge benefits to exploiting it. So, there are strong incentives to attempt that, and a matter of time before someone finds a loophole that's not easy to patch. Correspondingly, keeping up with attacks and patching loopholes is a necessary and intensive endeavor.

In a decentralized system where the parts are diverse, there is no easy way to game every subsystem at once. Further, if the parts are loosely coupled, even if someone manages to game one of the subsystems, the damage is quite isolated, and other parts can carry on unaffected.

That's like saying we can't design a fighter jet so we're going to melt a ball of steel into some shape, put an engine on it, and try to fly it

Very bad analogy. We have 80 years of past knowledge around designing fighter jets. The advice is to use actual data and knowledge, not suppositions. There is actual data around building certain kinds of servers. What I'm advocating is using actual data and experience. What you are advocating is to "melt a ball of steel into some shape, put an engine on it, and try to fly it." There's a wealth of aerodynamic engineering knowledge. Why not apply that and make a better shape, based on past art designing aircraft of the kind you want to build?

However, you shouldn't try to flight test and speed optimize that airplane if it can't yet fly properly, like if it's a vaguely shaped ball of steel with an engine on it. That would be counterproductive, if not dangerous. That is what I'm advising against in my comment and with the Kent Beck anecdote. Are you advocating to flight test and speed optimize that airplane if it can't yet fly properly?

(EDIT: Note that, even with this built up knowledge, there is still a lot of testing done, because often what engineers think they've built is not what they've actually built. Isn't what you're advocating more like just assuming you've built what you think you've built?)

I use openSUSE routinely (it's my go-to both for enterprise-grade stuff and for home users switching from Windows). I've yet to use SUSE itself, but given what I've seen from openSUSE, I have little reason to believe it to be any less excellent of a distro (and probably better suited to enterprise use, if only because of the available support contracts).
you can make test prep available to everyone, and in fact there are programs doing that.

a better argument is it's unfair to kids in shit elementary schools. and it is, but you have to try to just make those schools better.

it's a true shame if you don't give the most talented/driven kids an opportunity to go to a first rate school.

standarized testing is imperfect, but it is the most fair system.

Setting up a mail server is somewhat intricate as admins added hurdles to cut spam. This was on HN a while back and is good stuff https://www.c0ffee.net/blog/mail-server-guide

SPF, DKIM, DMARC all need to be set up. Check to see if the IP is any RBLs. Time also helps as the major MXers "learn" you are a real mail server.
Most of the busses are GPS tracked, but some less frequent lines still have no GPS, while others mix fixed data with busses that have GPS data. Its a patchwork, better than many other cities bus tracking systems, but still we have a ways to go.

At this point, I think signal prioritization and finishing the planned bus/streetcar jumps should yield significant reliability improvements in Seattle. If the #8 could just be timely, it would be a boon for anyone going from Queen Anne to downtown, Cap Hill, South Seattle or vice versa. Its sad that the I-5 commuters essentially wreck its schedule by parking in the road on Denny.

There's a big gap between making a working .deb file and getting something to pass QA to get into the archive.

It's been quite a while since I looked at it, but the documentation was fragmented and not up to date. Things have gotten better now you can use git-buildpackage [0], but it still feels arcane.

Challenge - take a package like wget and try to update it to the latest version from upstream Git (or whatever). It should be one or two commands but I've never been able to make it work easily. It's even harder if you're trying to port something across from Ubuntu or to use a fork like wget-lua [1]

Right. Outlook 2010 can read my email. Doesn’t mean I expect random engineers at Microsoft to be able to read my email.
Could build a system, that mirrors/pulls/aggregates all posts from reddit because anyone can pull those and use them via their api, and once a person 'connects' their account from reddit, it could import/transfer all comments over...for that one user... the key would be seemly duplicating all reddit, and moving their traffic to the federated version.

How does archive.org get away w/ archiving reddit pages and content?

You'd think their api would make it not possible to break the policy above, but you can grab comments/posts/etc json feeds without an api key, and agreeing to anything at all.

It says and 'to authorize others to do so too....' could that mean by 'others' anybody who accesses reddit endpoints via api? Or uses the .json feeds?
What is the "punishment" you refer to? Removing an unfair advantage that is so innate, it's almost invisible to those that benefit it?

PS: Not that I should be indulging your vague references... but actually, we do it quite often. Did Bernie Madoff's kids/wife get the spoils of his crime? Has not pretty much every war had a form of "reparations"?

Mostly the numbers. The "Asian" population in America is relatively small, and thus (perceived to be) easily managed. If one looks at demographic shifts, immigration policy, etc., over the course of the European expansion in to what is now America, the game should be pretty clear. Actually, Brazil is also a good example, if you look at their post-slavery immigration plan/policy.[2]

Anyway, I'm linking to an old post of mine from the Harvard discussion.[1] I highly recommend checking out Prof. Frank Wu's comments in the referenced video.

Also, it's worth noting that generally speaking, public schools are not considered to be elite. Elite schools are generally the exclusive ones where politicians, captains of industry, and the like send their kids to help them socialize with 'the right kind of people,' and maybe a smattering of common folk. I've been to those (as one of the common folk) and to elite public schools; the difference really is night and day.

This whole thing is just more divide and conquer. It pains me to see people continue to fall for it.
