My experience with youth sports is that the kids who "just get it" are the ones who have been watching/playing sports since very young with their family and friends. My family wasn't really in to watching sports and it took me a while as a kid to figure out that that's why everyone else on the team knew how to play and I didn't even know the basic rules. Looking back it would have helped me a lot if a practice or two was devoted to learning how the game actually worked.
> physicists say it’s a reasonable assumption that there might not be anything new to find until energy scales of 100,000,000 TeV or more

This is an extremely pessimistic view. Yes, we're almost certainly going to find something there, but that doesn't mean there's nothing before then. I'd bet a reasonably large sum of money that there's something before around 10TeV.

Also, this collider isn't looking for new particles so much as trying to improve our understanding of ones we know about already.

We package it into a docker image using distillery and then deploy to Kubernetes using Peerage with KubeDNS for auto clustering. It was tricky to figure out everything at the start but after figuring out once, it's pretty easy and works really well. Only issue we had at the start is figuring out sys.config but we use Environment Variables for almost everything and set `REPLACE_OS_VARS=true` while building the Docker image, which solved most of our issues.
It's still really boring and has been rehashed many times (as has the 'thing X of HN is getting worse' bit). What's even worse, as you can see here in thread, it brings out the sort of people who really enjoy talking at length about these things, insist people who disagree with them owe them a Coq proof demonstrating the faults in their logic, bemoan the suppression of (nay, censorship!) of dissenting opinions, and on and on. None of the times this has come up (about monthly or so) over the years have made any of these points less repetitive, mush-headed and tedious.

Something much more common and harmful to the quality of discussion is dumb stuff getting upvoted. Oddly, you never see anyone meta-fuss about that.

This is one reason why I am VERY skeptical of this conclusion.

From my reading of the article, the primary evidence they have is a bright radar reflection. That is the long-wavelength equivalent of saying "we found some white stuff, it's probably water ice!" There are other things besides water which reflect strongly. The fact that the conditions at the site are extremely non-conducive to liquid water tempers the idea that there's water there. AFAICT, there is nothing null-hypothesis rejecting here. In fact, it seems barely as good as "it's not impossible that it's water." I suspect the current hoopla is premature at best.

I've not heard honesty considered a peculiarly Christian virtue. They're sort of orthogonal.

Perhaps you're thinking of guilt and conscience, which means people might think that not being affirmatively honest could be considered wrong. Christianity is sometimes conflated with guilt culture (which emphasizes personal conscience), but Western guilt culture comes from Greek Stoicism and it took awhile to permeate through Europe--much longer than Christianity (like millennia longer). And there are plenty of modern Christian converts (entire countries, in fact) which are devoutly Christian but absolutely have not internalized a guilt culture. Very little, if anything, about Christianity requires a guilt culture--indeed, all of the Old and much of the New Testament is perfectly consonant with a shame/honor culture.

Note that not telling the truth is not the same as lying. For example, you could choose simply not to disclosure unless asked. Also, the Abrahamic commandment, "thou shall not lie", aka "thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor", was a legal rule. Most societies have this rule. Twisting it into a personal moral rule about how you go about your daily life is a result of our guilt-based culture which, again, is separate from Christianity, per se.

You don't understand what "literally", "random", or "boring" mean. The Hubble was pointed at an apparently "empty" area ... that was anything but random:

"Wiliams suspected the billion light-year stare might capture eons of galactic evolution in a single frame and uncover some of the faintest, farthest galaxies ever seen. And to him, the potential observations were so important and so fundamental for understanding how the universe evolved that the experiment was a no-brainer, consequences be damned."
I never owned a model, but I think it was one of those pieces of tech where the UX and timing were poorly executed.

I have a Google Home, and there's some inherent privacy / trust issues in having a "gadget" that's always listening in your home; however, a couple of things to note with this:

1. It doesn't affect anyone else. The voyeurism issue that Google Glass presented / presents is still an unsolved issue. I wonder if the UK, where surveillance is more less ubiquitous, if Google Glass would had been more successful had it only launched there?

2. I think the idea of “tech” glasses is great, but a camera was necessary. All the horror stories centered around this ethical issue of, “am I being watched?” by the wearers.

Google kind of botched the entire market with the launch of this. I’d love to see someone do this without a camera and better design / UX.

There are a number of reasons I disagree with the conclusions reached in this article. For one, what the author calls 'rent-seeking behavior' (getting favorable regulation) is because a lot of the entrepreneurship we see in America is fighting old incumbent industry's [1] (SpaceX, Uber, Airbnb). Obtaining favorable regulation is a necessity for these companies to stay alive. The arguments also suffer from the 'fixed wealth fallacy' in which inequality is deemed as an inherently bad thing. It is in many ways a very good thing [2]

They do use GPS for military navigation, but as part of a broader suite of systems. For example, Tomahawk missiles use INS for continuous estimates, plus a combination of visual and radar terrain contour matching and GPS to correct the inertial fix. And probably a few other things they don't talk about publicly.

When they can get it, GPS reduces error, though I agree that systems are designed to be tolerant of jamming and shootdowns.
We've experienced a plethora of platform issues that were exacerbated by how BEAM consumes resources on the system. Here's a few that come to mind:

- CPU utilization can differ wildly on Haswell & Skylake. On Skylake processors our CPU utilization jump by 20-30% due to Skylake using more cycles to spin. Luckily, all of that CPU time was spent in spinning, and our actual "scheduler utilization" metric remained roughly the same (actually, on Skylake it was lower!).

- Default allocator settings can call malloc/mmap a lot, and is sensitive to latency on those calls. Under host memory bandwidth pressure, BEAM can grind to a halt. Tuning BEAM's allocator settings is imperative to avoid this. Namely, MHlmbcs, MHsbct, MHsmbcs and MMscs. This was especially noticeable after meltdown was patched.

- Live host migrations and BEAM sometimes are not friends. Two weeks ago, we discovered a defect in GCP live migrations that would cause a 80-90% performance degradation on one of our services during source-brownout migration phase.

GCP Support/Engineering has been excellent in helping us with these issues and taking our reports seriously.

To be clear, I'm not against HTTPS at all. I'm against exaggerating by marketing it as "secure", and on insisting on its benefits in the case of static websites, where the case is very weak.

Even if you don't use punycodes, many users are still vulnerable to another type of attack that Let's Encrypt allows:

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/14-766-lets-e...

Even without altering the network traffic many people fall victims to these vicious tricks. The big question here is how much attention do you pay to the address bar.

Nevertheless, the benefits of HTTPS are obvious - there definitely is some protection when the user is sending some data. But for reading a static website, I'm sorry, but I hardly see any benefit. I installed Let's Encrypt on all my websites, but each time I see someone calling it "secure" I really get frustrated.

You could use some smart heuristics to make corrections without a gps lock, like resetting the location to "home" if it is near enough and sits motionless over night, or making an adjustment whenever the location drifts too far from the known locations of currently connected cell towers.
While I agree deployment is probably the major pain point, I don’t see a reason to add time zones or time formatting to Elixir, given those problems are well solved in the community with the Timex and Calendar packages. I prefer the Elixir standard library to continue small and focused.
The reason your GPS receiver does not work on a plane is likely because it's processing algorithms aren't tuned for those speeds. The popular Ublox NEO-6M for example needs to be explicitly switched to "airborne" mode.

The fact that you are enclosed in a faraday cage also isn't helping, but they make planes from plastic now, so this shouldn't always be the case.

Probably not.

Its design features are:

1. Long-duration flight (low-single-digit years).

2. In very small numbers (at most one in orbit at a time).

3. Recoverability of payload.

4. Very high delta-V (i.e. can shift orbits a lot, and has been observed doing so in big jumps during deployments).

The most likely guess is a testbed for military satellite subsystems; put a camera or a radar on there, and you can get a feel for its performance at different altitudes/angles, and also bring the prototypes back down to do a teardown after the fact.
you will run in to issues when not exactly doing the default way. you will find open feature request tickets about it from many years ago.

> [...] I feel that if there are a lot of bugs, the project scope is too big and/or the requirements are not well understood.

Indeed. And I'm under the impression that the project's take on fixing issues (not just bugs!) is a central part of that, which goes against OP's argument somewhat:

Scope/requirements are usually not out of whack because nobody thought about it when the project started (that's a whole other world of bad project management). The fact is that we're not good at all at judging how the scope and the requirements will change in the future. When (not if!) that eventually happens, you cannot just go adding random changes and edge cases forever, or you'll end up with a horrible Rube Goldberg machine no one has ever even a chance of understanding. You'll have to consistently monitor the sanity and accuracy of your model and either choose to limit the scope of the thing you're building or to correct the model for those edge cases you haven't considered, lest you monkeypatch yourself into a corner.

Now, those bugs that cost so much to fix are usually those where your model breaks down. And that, in turn, is where it's necessary to regurarly step back, find out which part of the model doesn't fit reality anymore and how you can fix it. Then, you can make one of the two decisions above. I've seen my fair share of code in projects where that wasn't done properly, and sometimes, only ignorance on the management side can explain the lack of panic regarding that code.

> Quality should be in step with expectations; selling services that can't be achieved with in a specific time slot is worse than trying to fix all of the bugs.

This works the other way - you get to prove your assertion that inertial navigation could work with cheap miniaturized sensors. Anyone can cast a doubt without proof.

If your acceleration sensor is off by 1 part per million, 9.8 m/s^2 (i.e. gravity) will turn into a positioning error of ~73km in one day.

"Pujol did such a good job that when the invasion happened on June 6, Hitler was convinced it was a diversion"

Makes it sound like he achieved the deception single handedly. It was a tiny bit more involved than that. Operation Fortitude[0], included creating an entire dummy army group (1st Army Group, commanded by Patton) with regiments of inflatable tanks, landing craft and squadrons of dummy aircraft in the right locations for a Calais invasion. Also significant fake radio and telephone traffic to be noticed and intercepted. It was a huge, ongoing, disinformation campaign and enormously successful.

Pujol was a fascinating tale, and played his part, but it was a small one.

You won't get close to GPS accuracy with these. The uncertainty from cell tower triangulation is huge (relatively). But yes, some kind of beacon that works like GPS on a local scale or detection of known mapped landmarks could be used for corrections but there are issues with these too. These could assist GPS location rather than replace it entirely.
