I have yet to read a compelling formal engineering argument as to why humans are the best vehicle for a long term space exploration system. I've long argued that increasingly complex probes, eventually leading to a generally intelligent stellar exploration system, would be the most efficient way to understand the universe.

I wish people would just admit that human space exploration isn't really about optimized scientific exploration to increase knowledge, but about adventure and excitement.
That and restarting an engine in-flight is faster than starting it on the ground because it's already spinning (by virtue of sailing through the air, like a windmill). This is, aptly, called windmill starting.
Tech blogging best practices: SEO and sharing
I hope more people will use open source self-hosted platforms like Ghost. We used medium before, but experience, including their api was just awful.
Right, but this happens automatically based upon time.

The mixed reactions were

1. There isn’t a chance to argue with the judge in an automated system. Maybe extenuating circumstances need to be talked about and this step is cut out by a computer deciding to notify the judge that a continuance should be given due to time.

2. It’s another system to be paid attention to when lawyers desks usually have cases on paper, in folders, in a briefcase. It’s hard to break tradition.
Funny to see caddy here, since they are already offering commercial licenses.

EDIT: In fact, commercial use is only available via the commercial license, even if a company decides to build their own binaries.
Btw since about 3 years I'm using lots of gmail filters ( like around 200+ and counting ) to separate mails to different labels and it kinda works.

I have lots of labels for each service that I use. They all include unicode symbol character, to visually separate it from untagged mails. For example " DHL", " UPS", " fitbit", "︎ Uber", "︎ Austrian Airlines", " O2" and others.

The logic is all e-mails coming from the specified domain e.g. dhl.com goes to the DHL label. Then another filter that takes newsletter@dhl.com which goes to newsletters and skips the inbox. This way I was able to handle the e-mail clutter and not rely on 3rd party service that I might be afraid will reduce my privacy concerns.

P.S. Ha. Bummer HN trimmed my unicode symbols anyway here is a screenshot : https://imgur.com/fpX8OLH

I was going to disagree with you on the sites accessibility but after taking a closer look it is pretty bad, though for different reasons. Tables everywhere, missing alt tags, doc language missing, no form labels..

As far as aesthetics I actually like the current site. It serves its purpose well IMO. The real accessibility issues should be addressed per WCAG.

There's nothing wrong with making money, but I also don't owe them money. Or attention, or to say nice things.
Your story here is why I hope to see more co-op based businesses come into being. I'm nearly the opposite of a communist, but it takes a fool to think labor shouldn't own a good amount of what they do. Particularly when your work requires pouring your soul into it.
We aren't in disagreement, I mentioned the secure key storage ("secure element") in my first comment, the problem is that people aren't using it.

I qualified my point with "largely" to be clear that I'm not saying it's unavoidable.

We have a task on the roadmap that I think will help with this. We want to add a message next to each subscription in your list that says something like "47% of users unsubscribed from this mailing list".

This will hopefully give you a metric with which you can decide if something is important or not.
Tech is the worst. Fetishizing disruption leads to neophytes thinking they're breaking new ground when they're just re-discovering long dismissed ideas.
What about Dragonfly?
It's an issue with the Apache package from the OpenBSD ports tree: it was set up in a configuration not recommended for production by upstream, which means bugs that weren't expected to actually trigger in practical use (and thus didn't get attention) could happen there.

It's worse now than the image above because AT&T is purchasing Time Warner

With relation to Facebook it's pretty obvious that everybody in the traditional media industry would like to see them lose influence because it costs them money. Instead of watching the news or buying newspaper subscriptions people get the info from Facebook. There really doesn't need to be coordination because it's in their self-interest to pile on Facebook.

Go back 20 years before social media and if the news and the newspapers didn't cover it, it basically didn't happen. The MSM has lost a massive amount of influence due to social media because they can't completely control what information is spread around.

What about Dragonfly? Is it also assisted by the government?
It is censored but it sounds like a rat trap.
Maybe the 787 won't allow airborne use, but other aircraft allow it. It's useful for steep descent. If the feature were more common, obstructions near airports (like mountains) would be less of an issue. We could build new runways at some airports.

The demo video is very compelling! Do you support proprietary datasets?

A small suggestion: the audio on the demo video was poor quality and difficult to understand. Perhaps a better microphone or higher bitrate would help.
I agree that facebook is just the most visible dimple. Internet causes a lot of stresses at the personal and social level. We could wipe it out, we could learn how to deal with it.. let it fly so future generation adapt to it for better or worse.

I’m a game developer, so my “side projects” usually making small hobbyist games. New “ideas” usually involve “I’d like to explore this concept” sort of thing.

I think the ideas mostly comes from being interested in video games though, so I’d suggest maybe looking to other hobbies for insight.
It’s normal to note spies with ties to foreign powers assigned the domonym of that country.

Several times daily we see “Russian hackers”, Russian bots, etc. No one complains. From time to time we see “Israeli spy”, Iranian Spy”, Russian Spy.

It’s no big deal. In those countries you also see allegations of “American spies” even when the accused isn’t a spy, like in N Korea, Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, etc., etc. No one in the public cries about it. Of course family of the wrongfully alleged do get rightly concerned.
Well at least we know we're among good company.

And where would you store these logs ?
I'm sure the engine stores its faults somewhere, but i'm not expecting more.

You have to realise that you can run safety critical software on certified microcontrollers, which have usually like 10 mb of flash. Moreover it is an aicraft, and worse it is an engine, so I guess that the mechanical requirements are insane (able to withstand a lot of vibrations, operate in -60 to 160 deg celsius, withstand cosmic rays). A samsung ssd does not fit the bill.

It's probable however that the aircraft communications lines are recorded in a black box, but you can only see the data exchanged by the ECUs, not the relevant internal variables telling you about the bug.

Mind you i'm not working in the aicraft industry, my assumptions may be false, but my guess is that the engine controller is on the engine itself.
There's an interesting article on Gizmodo (so please take it with a grain of salt) about trying to cut Google out of your life - long story short, it's surprisingly hard and some things you wouldn't expect will break.

We do know that US Security agencies already interface and work with American tech companies to "safeguard" their commercial secrets and infrastructure. There may already be some well established protocols and processes in place.

Another (mildly) interesting tidbit to feed our theory - The Good Wife TV episode (season 7 episode 14) introduces an agency called "TAPS" or "Technology Allied Protection Service". In the episode, it’s supposed to be a multi-agency task force that works with Silicon Valley’s biggest companies to clamp down on technology theft.
I will never get over how "reporting" seems to amount to publishing a bunch of quotes by people without assessing their credibility. Why give Wisconsin Republicans, noted bad actors, a free mouthpiece in this article at all, let alone without context for whether their comments about "economic uncertainty" under the Dem governor hold any water?

Ah, I was only playing original Quake with a direct dial-up to a friend’s modem, for 1-on-1, but we did have it working in the computer lab on 10-baseT.

If somebody went to turn their desktop slightly, the coax would pop out of the t-connector and those further down the chain would be at a severe disadvantage.
Disclaimer: I'm Russian-American. I do not believe Russian "siloviki" are competent enough to pull off anything like what you're implying.

Russia spent $100k on FB in total, and they ran ads on controversial issues from both sides, not just Trump (and also organized "resist" protests after Trump won). For comparison, Trump's campaign alone spent $100 _million_. I don't know off the top of my head how much the Clinton campaign spent, but it did have 2x the money advantage, so it probably spent twice as much. If we assume the total FB spend of $300M for both campaigns, Russian money represented 0.033% of ad spend, and they likely used far less sophisticated targeting than the campaigns, and riled up both sides.

Tell me again how this could have altered the outcome.

Their goal seemed to be to sow discord, not to elect a particular candidate. I believe that's still their goal, and you, HN poster, is a great help to that end. They could not imagine a better outcome than Trump (or Clinton) getting mired in controversy and partisan gridlock, and unable to do anything about anything.

If you're going to talk about foreign influence, there are countries that are much more influential in US politics than Russia. No US president can even win a primary without pledging allegiance to Israel, for example. Clinton Global Initiative accepted millions from all over the world (donations dropped massively once Hillary lost, suggesting influence peddling). When it comes to hacking, China hacks the US far more than Russia ever will.

I don't quite get this raging hard-on for Russia that the mainstream media has manufactured. If it's outrage you want, there are far better targets.
I have been using it for the last month, thanks to HN, but also those who contribute. :D
They got their $4billion handout from Scott Walker and are predictably walking back on it.

Corruption from the so-called party of "fiscal responsibility"
It was used to figure out which parties were most susceptible to being manipulated with misinformation and outright lies so that they would vote for people whom would ultimately harm their own interests. For example figuring out which groups of liberals could be pushed towards a third party candidate with propaganda so that that a conservative candidate could win the election and disadvantage the same folks. This is straightforward harm even if the election was still technically democratic it was swayed by manipulation partially funded by our enemies and those who aligned themselves with Americas enemies to get a president elected by the minority to harm the interests of the majority in order to enrich a much smaller minority.
There are lots of ethical companies which are in the middle, too. But that's okay, your moral lackings are definitely excused by your lazy approach to job hunting.

do you think your understanding will be improved by reading people who have been carefully selected by a billionaire with no background in the field

When I first got to the Bay Area, I met a Thiel fellow. It was interesting, let me say that. Don't think I don't roll my eyes at some of what Peter Thiel spends his money on. That said, contrarians need to be able to have a voice. This is the only way they might eventually be convinced.

If you were reading about racial justice in the USA, you might read both left/liberal/libertarian/conservative thinkers, but would you feel the need to make sure you give perspective from Stormfront a good evaluation too?

I'd prefer not to read the last source. The few times I've tried, I've only lasted about 2 paragraphs and half a minute. However, understanding why the extreme fringe thinks as they do, and how they fit into the larger historical perspective is important. Extremists get a foothold when experts stop explaining, when discourse breaks down, and silencing is practiced instead. Extremists especially should get freedom of speech. It's quite instructive how both far extremes manage to resemble each other.
Like everyone has said, a side project is one that scratches an itch you have. Basically, what day-2-day functionality needs improving the most. And, do you have the capacity to improve it (or think you can)? From there, the side project is born.

My current side project stemmed from another side project actually.

I wanted to make (basically) an art version of Reddit, but much more robust. It would have cool apps that would make the artist's life much better. I had (and still do) a ton of idea on how to do that, so I started building. I've made many versions, but it still wasn't quite "right".

I have release it, but there was no traction (no should there be, its a crudely built website).

While building the latest version, the project became more and more robust. I had some cool components in it, one in particular and came to a fork in the road. Should I continue on with the Big project, or spin-off a component?

I chose the spin-off and thus my project Vidcap was born. I'm about a week away from releasing it after about a month of develoment. The goal would be to help people annotate their favorite videos to get more information out of it.

Will I ever go back to the other idea, artjutsu? Of course. Its still a passion of mine and something that I want to finish, but I think that Vidcap could be something that could help me achieve that goal (and help others) much more quickly.

Any idea how many people are using fbook that do not have the same level of education that you have? and how much time is spent on the fbk by this group of people?

How many people are using the fbk that do not have the same familiarity with tech and apps? Same eye sight, finger dexterity?

Did you miss the recent stories about the thousands of people bilked out of thousands of dollars via sneaky game app purchases? Certainly some of that hurt some people's IRAs.

Funny you mention divorce. This is an anecdotal 1 data point out of millions.. but in the past year I watched a friend go through the struggles of considering separation and divorce for about 6 months. As I often rail against the use of fbk, she confided in me that the ad tech did indeed influence her on this decision.

For some time when she used the fbk system she saw ads saying she could sell her wedding ring for cash quick and easy.

This coming at a time of emotional distress, when searching for options for places to go, with the need of funding to do these things...

I'm glad you do not find yourself in a position to care to about these issues. I myself worry more about the influence of the less tech savvy, whether they can vote or not, have IRAs or marriages or not, these things affect people around us, and not always in a "lets connect the world to make it better and have a kumbaya party with fresh goat and laser beams" kind of ways.
These were engineers, not lawyers. Engineers understand what an acceptable margin of error or failure is, and whether that line has been crossed. In this case, they answered "no" because they felt the defined threshold for safety of the O rings had been exceeded, and the risk was now unacceptable.

In contrast, lawyers freely play with words as if they have no meaning, because they will claim, "In our legal system, justice is the responsibility of the jury. We lawyers merely serve as opposing advocates. Thus we are obliged to confuse and mislead the jury toward our desired ends, using whatever verbiage / argument best serves our client."

That's why I'm an engineer.

>When Levandowski was caught apparently taking files from Waymo (allegedly to give to Uber) he wasn't characterized as an "american spy".

That's a silly comparison. Ignoring the obvious and significant differences between how the US and Chinese governments act in this regard, a better example would be an American citizen working for a Chinese company who was caught with stolen IP on his way back to the US to hand over to a US competitor? Which words, I wonder, would be used in China to describe such a person?

>It is worthwhile noting that people are sensitive to titles like this

Well maybe they shouldn't be. There's no need to search for reasons to be offended; there more than enough actual, honest to God problems in the world to get riled up over.

I'm not the original poster but the harm would logically follow from USE of that data now and in the future not the process of collection much like the harm from a long fall doesn't come from the journey but rather the sudden stop at the end.

This is a question I lose sleep over. I keep going back and forth on it. Here's my current position:

_In my experience_, PlusCal is easier for the average engineer to start with, because it lets me decouple learning about behaviors, learning temporal logic, and learning basic predicate logic. It's also my experience that for many people, it's easier and faster to learn PlusCal and then TLA+ than to start with TLA+.

But PlusCal adds syntax and has its own quirks and logic. So if you are fine with TLA+, it's unnecessary overhead and can distract from the core ideas. Here's a quick test:

Op(x, y) ==
/\ x > y
/\ \E s \in S:
/\ x' = F(s)
/\ UNCHANGED y

If that makes sense to you, start with TLA+ proper.
Messy? Check!

Stay Up Late? Check!

Curse a Lot? Check?

So maybe I don't qualify. The article did say "Taboo Words". I'm not sure how taboo these words are.

Yes, I curse a lot, but I only use the seven basic curse words:

* Fiddle

* Foodle

* Diddle

* Doodle

* Piddle

* Foo

* Sticks

(Yes, really!, no joke, although it may be funny.)

You can combine them together, or use with various prefixes / suffixes.

* Oh, Fiddle Sticks!

* Piddly Foodle Piddle!

* Diddly Doodle Foo!

etc

One time when I explained this to my wife and daughter, they couldn't stop laughing for hours, because they knew it was true, but hadn't realized there were seven basic curse words.
There is Airplane pilot on HN? I am surprised, did you make a career switch from IT?
