Based on the linked GAO report, it doesn't even seem like the "little bit" is justified, nevermind the headline that Boeing is in any way meaningfully "ahead". The point of the GAO report is not to assess Boeing's and SpaceX's progress, but to assess NASA's ability to manage the project and its contractors.

From page 10:

> Boeing and SpaceX continue to make progress developing their crew transportation systems, but both contractors have further delayed the certification milestone to early 2019. These changes have occurred as the contractors continue to work to aggressive schedules, and they have had to delay key events regularly. Further delays are likely as the Commercial Crew Program’s schedule risk analysis shows that the certification milestone is likely to further slip.

> In addition, as of mid-June 2018, NASA officials told us that these dates may change soon but that both contractors have not yet provided official updates to their schedules to NASA...While NASA has begun to discuss potential options, it currently does not have a contingency plan for how to ensure an uninterrupted presence on the ISS beyond 2019*

A better headline would be:

NASA can't tell how late Boeing and SpaceX will be with commercial crew
There aren't many Haskell jobs where I live, I don't want to move, and it's unfeasible to suggest it at my (otherwise decent) job.
The environmentalist in me is thinking a single billionaire's carbon impact is probably lower than a 1,000 millionaire's carbon impact. A single billionaire (say Warren Buffet) has a consumption of probably $200,000 a year with the remainder held in investments. A 1,000 millionaire's consumption is probably also $100,000 a year, with the remainder held in investments. So the 1,000 millionaires have basically about 500x the environmental impact than a single billionaire.
Take down requests indeed. Especially for individuals, and especially with GDPR(right to be forgotten), CA privacy law(dont sell my data), etc. If someone else writes on DIRT that I'm an alien from an alien planet bringing a virus to earth (when in fact I'm a human from SF with no viruses), do I need to 1) PAY to get a token to challenge this and also 2) correct inaccurate information with correct information with no option to totally remove the entry (however "ridiculous" the entry)?

Applied to the case of getting accurate VC listings, DIRT has a ploy to get VCs to PAY to get tokens to challenge incorrect entries. Consumers also have an interest in the quality of information, but a primary concern lies with the subject of an entry.

DIRT -If I may, my request to you is to document the heck out of your policies and expected behaviors. The grey line of "ridiculous" that I point out is something that you've mentioned in another response, that you're not in the business of fake news. At some point, you'll need to be making decisions and providing ethical guidelines.
Or maybe, what if policy decisions were made based on experts?

Not internet comments or lobbyists or donors.
There is an alternative. Don't "smooth" it out. Just provide double the capacity needed. If prices go low enough, you can solve the problem by just throwing more solar panels at it.
> that point of view ceased to matter to me.

Except that you still feel the need to talk about them. eyeroll

I think you troll topics masquerading as legitimate commentary (almost every assertion you made is an ad-hominem), because you don't really know the difference. This is a common problem with people who have superiority complexes.
Nextdoor can fulfill that role to some extent. As long as someone cares enough to post.
http://www.ulb.ac.be/di/algo/secollet/papers/crs06.pdf claims a 6x6 board that requires 93 moves.

That could be a matter of counting moves differently (if you move a car two places, is that one or two moves?), but I think that’s unlikely, as it would require about forty such multi-step moves.

So, who’s wrong? You, that paper, or me?
#4 is sort of terribly worded, the summary line is something that is important and pretty independent, make sure you're working with expert users of the system... then the explanation brings in a Senior Dev as a good resource to tap. This is the wrong direction, you really want to consult with the system experts to see their rationale for requesting what might seem like odd functionality in the first place.

#4 also mixes a good deal with #5 in that any changes you make (even purely good ones in your view) will require retraining of users and cause a kerfuffle when rolled out to your user base, people _hate_ change.
Hi there - We are auditing our smart contracts prior to launch and plan to open source them. If you are interested in trying out the protocol on launch, send us a note.

Per GDPR specifically, I am learning about the regulations and my understanding is that the right to be forgotten focuses on personal information. Personal information is not a great fit for DIRT registries because it is not publicly verifiable. The concept of voting to determine correctness works best if that data is public and observable.
Another red flag not mentioned here: the old system doesn't have an end-to-end suite of functional test cases you can rely on.

If you fire those people, you remove your source of expertise on the old system. Yes, they did a poor job of maintaining the old system, but their knowledge may be valuable to understanding the old system and creating requirements for the new system to reach parity.

Red Flag #6: Key stake holders keep moving the goal posts.

If your goal moves from feature comparable but on a modern platform, to new features, to a complete reinventing of the product all without actually shipping ... you might be in trouble.

I had a rebuild go 6 months over. In the heated executive meeting at t+3 months I was called to defend my team and pointed out that the VP Product had just delivered “final” specs literally the day before. How could we be on track with development if PM is 3 months past “end of development” with design specifications. The fact that the specs were changing weekly because “we’re agile” is a whole other issue.
Nice! I like how the piece directions are indicated in the GIF.
> I would start by firing people that led to this situation

Thereby fomenting Red Flag #4, not "working with people who were experts in the old system.”
A Facebook post doesn't cover the PTA meeting and compile what occurred. A twitter update from the president is national news and just a snippet where an article about the tweet would provide a larger context about what he's talking about. Reddit is so likely to be astroturfed by big companies that it is becoming increasingly misinformation.
I carry a Kindle around with me for reading for two reasons: First, cause you can’t just switch to something else stupid. And second, cause you look like you’re reading a book to the people around you.

I never have asked this in 10 years on this site. Can the downvoter(s) clarify the reason? I have spokenwith 1,000+ parents and teachers individually. Easily 90% are very excited about it. It is simply a tool. I don't think every child should use it. In fact, I hope children that use it eventually stop because they have developed better study and time management habits.
One does not preclude the other. We'll set policies that increase competition among ISPs aside because literally everyone says that they agree with that idea. Moving passed that, what is your specific reasoning for opposing NN, and if you don't mind, could you offer up your definition of NN in practice, just to be sure we're addressing the actual policies and not semantics.
I agree with you and its annoying when people say you sound like a corporate shill. I don't think it should be federal level government doing net neutrality. I worry about these studies too, because I know my "unique comment" was surrounded by at least a hundred on either side opining the same pro-net neutrality text.
Why would you accuse Valve of 'missing the boat' just because they aren't the best at everything?

Do they, or we, even want a single company to run the most popular game distribution service, the most popular gaming chat service, the most popular game streaming service, the most popular VR platform and the most popular gaming OS?

That sounds awful to me.
Wow, I often as a child (still now) would see vivid purple and greens when I closed my eyes or in a dark room. I never thought about it but I wonder what the cause is.

The challenges Google thinks will take decades to overcome are those posed by streets that aren't new, extra wide, well marked, and with low traffic in an area that almost always has excellent weather conditions.

Basically, they have a solution that they are willing to put into limited testing in certain parts of Arizona, just as Apple has decided to do limited testing with autonomous employee shuttle vans between their campuses.

So Google has moved from "this is our moonshot program that we will solve in a couple of years" to "this will take decades of incremental progress".

Given that Google and Apple have both come to the concision that this is a long range incremental software problem, and given that you say that this represents an enormous failure on the part of Apple, how is this not also an enormous failure on the part of Google?

If we're actually resorting to quoting dictionary definitions then you missed ~80% of the page you copy pasted that from.

Try "The principles relating to or inherent in a sphere or activity, especially when concerned with power and status."

Regardless, I'm sure you understood perfectly well what the other commenters were meaning by "political", you're just arguing semantics.

(edit: sorry for the snark, but this is such a common, easy way to derail discussion without really adding any substance so I try to call out stuff like this when I can.)
Facebook and Google have the eyeballs, so their ad space is perceived to be valuable. Newspapers... don't. In the Boston area, the Herald just went under this year, and apparently the Globe has less than a million daily readers. And the Globe is a major, flagship paper. But, as with the Globe's ownership's other major concern (The Red Sox), they're catering to a graying, aging, dying audience.
It will be pay for use, like AWS. You fill up, and then depending on how compute-heavy your contracts are to analyze, you will be charged accordingly. Your costs will end up depending on complexity of your contracts.

Compare this to the alternatives of paying $20,000 - $500,000 for manual audits.
I'm surprised at what gets called a pattern these days. Fowler didn't describe it as a pattern, but just because Mr. Guru said it, it is now a pattern?
Great work! Was nice seeing this come together on Twitter over the past couple weeks.

It's a dream of mine to build an earthship-like house some day. But before that I would like to figure out how far I much I can cost-effectively retrofit my existing conventional house to be more passively heated and cooled.

I'm surprised that architects don't propose passive heating/cooling on new builds and major renovations. I guess clients typically don't demand it.

The definition of fascism according to webster: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.

I don't think corporate fascism fits. Corporations would need to use force to suppress you. They would need to control religion.

Not sure why the word fascism has come back into common language. We needed a new word to describe Trump but instead we recycled this word.
Why is the newspaper dying? Because updates about what is happening in people's world is no longer constrained by what is published in the local paper! And everyone involved in the old industry still can't wrap their minds around it.

This is simply not true. There is a huge demand, perhaps now moreso than ever, for trustworthy sources of consolidated information about current events. I don't follow Trump or the White House on Twitter. I don't follow Apple news on Reddit. I don't attend PTA meetings and I don't follow them on Facebook. Do you expect me to start doing all those things to replace reading the paper?

How can an account be fake? An account impersonating someone else? That's very different from an account that exists solely to boost follower counts. What's the problem with people paying to boost their follower count?
#5 has a converse - oftentimes, the only way to get a rebuild to succeed is to drop features, and it's a major red flag if management insists on 100% feature parity.

The way to distinguish this from the #5 situation in the article is to ask if you're dropping features because they're hard or because nobody uses them. The former is a red flag; the latter is a green flag. Before you embark on a rebuild, you should have solid data (ideally backed up by logs) about which features your users are using, which ones they care about, which ones are "nice to haves", which ones were very necessary to get to the stage you're at now but have lost their importance in the current business environment, and which ones were outright mistakes. And you should be able to identify at least half a dozen features in the last 3 categories that you can commit to cutting. Otherwise it's likely that the rewrite will contain all the complexity of the original system, but without the institutional knowledge built up on how to manage that complexity.

This strikes me as dangerous. Didn't the experts build the first system? Don't you want to deliver a fresher system? Won't the experts be attached to the old way of doing things?
Yes. I think the last US Presidential election is a small taste of the future rather than an aberration.
I'm still impressed that SpaceX, with <20 years of experience, is even in the same ballpark as Boeing and its 101 years.
People sometimes complain about how developers like to "write the operating system and then a language" when it comes to handling every foreseeable permutation of what the program might every be desired to do, but we're all so used to unstable requirements that sometimes the metaphorical programming language research is the only thing that will be general enough to find a use next week.

If you'll re-read my post a bit more carefully, you'll see that the word "all" is nowhere in it. Nobody (that I know) believes that " all modern Constitutional law and Supreme Court decisions are the result of judges and lawmakers simply making up whatever interpretation they like without any basis in, study of, or respect for the Constitution." I suppose that bit of hyperbole might serve to make my original statement seem less reasonable; if you did it deliberately, you're putting words in my mouth to try to discredit me, which is pretty scummy.

> The alternative would be to pretend to know in all cases what an eighteenth century philosopher would decide about an issue of law in the context of modern society.

No, the alternative would be to know what they said the rules are.

(Now, I will admit that deciding how the rules they agreed on apply in a specific situation can be very complicated. But I trust "let's look at the rules and see how they apply" more than I trust "interpreting the Constitution in accordance with its original meaning or intent is sometimes unacceptable as a policy matter, and thus that an evolving interpretation is necessary"[1]. The former view makes the Constitution the final law; the latter makes policy the master over the Constitution.)

The difference is, the newspaper paid professional reporters to write the news. They did a fantastic job (in most cases) of making sure they had their facts straight, and local news broke most of the big stories you eventually heard about on national news sources. Even today, a LOT of the national news starts at local news sources, either papers or local channels, but that is getting worse all the time due to the cuts.

Instead, on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, etc. you get a flood of "news", but you have to vet it all yourself to see what is true and what isn't. And many many people don't do that - if they trust the person sharing, they trust the "news". Or if it agrees with their world view, they trust the "news". Sometimes amazing things are covered - live Reddit threads have broken some amazing stories, with details from local residents. Same with Twitter, etc. But for every one of those stories there are 100s that are fake, or actually pushing alternative narratives that are not based in reality for their own ends. And that flood is just too much for the average person to actually separate the fact from the fiction.

Social media does not equal journalism. That isn't "old industry" thinking. That is just a sad fact.

Still not seeing $59k.

2.3 * 30.000 * 0.7 = $48,300 (30% tax credit)

2.3 * 30.000 * 0.5 = $34,500 (50% cheaper)

Total = $82,800

Regardless, adding up the cost of the second one in 30 years doesn't make sense for calculating kWh prices, depreciation and cost of capital are the only factors that matter and you are only including one of those.
I don't expect you to do anything. I was explaining why the newspaper is dying: Because people (in general, in aggregate) are preferring other forms of communication. It's obvious that in a world where the newspaper is your only option for "updates on things happening that are relevant to you", that it would do better than in a world where there are many more options to fill that need.

The number of Americans reading print newspapers has been declining since the web became popular. The average age of a newspaper reader is somewhere north of 55.
This is very astute, I was using the term "skyscraper city" primarily as colorful contrast with low-density Sunbelt cities.

Philadelphia is indeed the other contender! They weirdly haven't seen explosive job growth though, despite being an excellent city. They also don't have innovative land use policy. But the vast, partially abandoned north Philly is a "reserve army of underemployed land" keeping a check on prices--as is the excellent, fully electrified suburban regional rail network inherited from the Pennsy. Maintains a wide swathe of commutable land w/in 45 mins of CBD.
