> However, two rockets both cost the same to build and one needs less fuel to orbit that directly translates into more payload to orbit. It’s a question of mass not money.

The way you state this is insufficiently constrained as to make the comparison I think you are trying to make. I think what you are trying to suggest that is that if two launch systems have the same per-launch recurring costs and the same gross mass the one that has higher payload mass fraction is better. Well, I can't disagree with the rocket equation.

If you are trying to relate this back to air-launch, my point is that for equivalent technology levels (meaning the same propulsion system other than nozzle area ratio, tankage with similar structural efficiency, etc.), the benefits you get in terms of recurring cost per unit mass from air-launch (by reducing rocket propellant consumed and dry mass of expended hardware) pale in comparison to the operating economics of having to additionally operate the air-launch platform. In other words, the recurring cost per unit mass to orbit, for the equivalent mass class, will be higher for air-launch than ground launch. And that doesn't even take into account the non-recurring costs associated with the air platform and need to amortize them.

> Alternatively, you can spend that budget on something else like a ‘single stage’ to orbit system which more directly lowers costs.

I'm not even sure where "directly lowers costs" applies in the SSTO case. I'm guessing you mean the case of a fully-reusable SSTO vehicle? At the end of the day, your per-fligt costs will reflect the need to amortize the non-recurring costs you've incurred. SSTO systems will tend to very high non-recurring costs, and the extreme sensitivity to dry mass means you will pay more per pound of dry mass for an SSTO vehicle than a multistage vehicle. The only people that think SSTO with today's technology will lower costs are the ones still hoping for the VentureStar to become operational.

> As to long term costs, having already built the aircraft that becomes a sunk cost. It might have been a poor choice, but it represents actually value before you can get satilite stock orbit. Which then allows a company to raise more money on better terms.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. If Strato can find a net cashflow-positive way to use their carrier aircraft, great. I think it's unlikely their launch economics will beat other systems in the marketplace so it won't win on pure cost short of Strato taking a loss on launches. However, in terms of launch, they may get some business if a customer really needs the logistical flexibility mentioned in the root post of this thread.
Like investing in eBay when there is Amazon?

Maybe not the best analogy? eBay and Amazon both started in the 90s and were both HUGE successes for investors.
I have observed similar things and so far the relationship continues to bewilder me. At times I return with a better ability for something I haven't touched in years, while when I was actively training it, improvement was slow. Perhaps some cross-pollination from another source, but still strange.

It's... not always encouraging, as at times it's very hard to say what has improved it and whether practice is all that useful.

Otherwise, you're asking double from the person whose boundaries were violated: First, the discomfort of the unsolicited contact. Then, second, the discomfort of causing a scene to assert their boundaries.

"Yes, Kuhn could be a bully, especially towards anyone who challenged him, such as Errol or our late colleague Harold Dorn. But for someone like myself, non-threatening and interested in science and the Enlightenment, Kuhn was kind and took his responsibilities seriously as a teacher. The first draft of my paper for his thermodynamics seminar was a disaster, but he took the time and trouble (and only 1-1/2 pages of single-spaced typed response) toward guiding me to see its flaws, and he taught me the simple, but invaluable lesson that before you write, you have to know what you want to say."

This reads like a serious case of Stockholm syndrome or an abused spouse.
Amazon is a decent comparison. Not because of a similar capital investment requirement though (which as you noted in Amazon's case went into things like warehouses). Rather, because the original business isn't where the great value turned out to be.

Amazon has a business that is worth an optimistic $150 billion if it were only traditional retail, without AWS and their relatively new ad business. That's assuming a richer valuation than their peers due to expectations of growth.

The real value to Uber is not going to be in the ride hailing. It's going to be somewhere else, spawned out of the original business, riding on the back of the huge network they've put together in some manner. They'll find something else to monetize with richer margins, or they'll never justify a $100+ billion valuation. With everything they might be able to touch with their scale, I'd bet on them finding enough other business opportunities over time (that said, I also wouldn't be a buyer anywhere near the IPO valuation). The $10b IPO will buy them another likely five or six years of additional cash burn. And if they're smart, in the first year after the IPO, they'll dilute again and go get another $5 billion or so. With their need to find another business, their AWS, they can't have enough capital.

A liquid rocket vehicle would have to be designed to be carried and launched from a carrier vehicle like Strato has, but that's eminently doable. You design in the load paths suitable for carriage and also for engine-on ascent loads. There will be more structure attached to the cylindrical sections. But this added structural mass further detracts from the delta V advantages of being released from a "Stage 0" air platform at altitude and speed. And yes, you also design for the bending loads associated with acquiring the ascent flight path angle you need. Those bending loads will be more severe than what a well-guided ground-launched system will be designed to endure. Strato's aircraft undoubtedly pitches nose-up pretty hard before dropping the rocket, but it's definitely nowhere near vertical.

Solid motor casings are inherently quite stiff, to deal with combustion pressures. There would be less attachment/carriage hardware mass penalty than with liquids.

Bottom line, there is nothing inherent to Stratolaunch that makes it incapable of launching liquids, and even with the additional structural mass penalty, it's entirely possible for Strato to have lower cost per unit of mass to orbit via a liquid rocket stack than with solids (likely, in fact).

> The problem with this argument is that it doesn't match economic reality. Compiler authors wouldn't disagree that it would be nice to not have to do these optimizations!

I think that the extent to which that's actually true is pretty debatable. Note that both Linux and Postgres use -fwrapv/-fno-strict-overflow and -fno-strict-aliasing. I'm not a compiler engineer, but if I was I might think to ask why that's the policy of these projects, and address the criticism on something closer to its own terms.

The author makes a clear distinction between "Optimization*" and "Optimization". That distinction might be a bit squishy, but not so much that it isn't still useful. Even the Fabian Giesen thing that you linked to says "A lot of people (myself included) are against transforms that aggressively exploit undefined behavior", right at the start. It's trendy to blame the C language itself, but surely we can expect C compilers to care about the C language.

If you want to simply limit amount of unwanted traffic, implement conventional image captcha with some minor twist. State-of-art bots do not (yet) have a human-like AI, so you will be safe(r) until someone adapts all existing bots to solve your modification.

If you want to hinder determined (but inept) adversary, impose reverse time limit: make your captcha a bit complex and deny answers, that arrive too fast. Legit users will spend a bit of time to solve captcha. Machine-learning-driven bots will blaze it. In addition to measuring speed of filling captchas you can measure amount of user time spent on other actions on your site — in process making your bot detector increasingly similar to Google's reCAPTCHA.

In general look for behaviors, distinguishing legitimate users from malicious. Hint: having Google account might or might not indicate a legitimate user, but it is probably more efficient to ask users for it directly than in roundabout way by using reCAPTCHA.

There is an enormous number of portfolios that can be constructed to be highly profitable if global warming becomes more widely accepted. There is no need for an actual apocalypse to occur. There just needs to be an increasing awareness that continuing on our current emissions path will lead to disaster if allowed to continue. Those who accept this hypothesis, and invest accordingly, will be helping to avoid an apocalypse. They are the ones who will help drive down the value of things that contribute to global warming, while driving up the value of things needed to combat it. If we are lucky, this process will play out quickly enough that we can avoid irreversible destruction of our environment. Governments could dramatically accelerate the needed changes through appropriate incentives/penalties to make long-term improvements/harms more profitable/unprofitable in the near-term.
People tend to upvote a lot more than downvote. I believe it's because one's ego doesn't want to associate themselves with being negative, instead we always try to attach ourselves to more positive traits.

These metrics should only be used for categorizing purpose only. We need to be very careful in using it as a driver for more of the same articles, because in the long run this will only create a feedback loop that will keep feeding us the same content and narrowing our views, making us blind to more critical issues at hand.

That's a nice assumption. Are you sure about that? Have you asked most people?

You might find that there are a lot of people who don't actually like it, but who find the consequences of making a fuss about it even worse.
That's an odd comment. I believe capitalism has done quite well. Let's talk about it a bit.

The US currently has a huge number of people rushing to cross the border to get in. So far as I can tell, other countries (not captitalist) do not have such a rush to get in. In fact, it seems quite a few have people trying to get out.

I would consider this a sign that captialism has worked, very well.

Your thoughts on this?

My kids are a bit older now but at the age, I find it was relatively easy to redirect their attention away from screens. At that age they're quite curious and will generally jump to the next interesting thing and quickly move on for a bit. I recommend engaging and offering productive playtime to help them move onto other activities.

As they got older we implemented a one hour screen time limit per day for all screen types (including TV) but that they could earn more screen time if they read, did chores, finished their homework early, help each other in some way, etc with a hard limit of 2 hours max screen time per day with rare exceptions to exceed that.

So far we're happy with the results and the amount of time they spend doing other activities.

There is a significant public benefit. The very existence of silicon valley is a testament to the effects pouring in government funding can have. That's of course not to say that it always works.

But such funding is also quite low risk for governments: even when the funded companies fail it serves to build talent pools, and a substantial proportion of every dollar comes back to the government in taxes because they get spent on things like salaries, and the remainder gets spent on products and services where a further proportion ends up paid in tax.

And when they succeed, the economic activity has a massive ongoing value both in taxes, reductions in benefits payments due to increased overall employment and indirect economic boosts (the successful companies increase other economic activity by buying products and services).

It's not either/or - there are many types of projects that are not suitable for VC funding for various reasons that can still have long term beneficial effects to society.
Further to that point and to their credit, ebay smashed Amazon in auctions.[1]

Auctions was one of a dozen or so large failures on the part of Amazon to find a profit center. eBay wiped the floor with them and Amazon gave up relatively quickly. Since then, eBay has generated over $15 billion in profit in auctions, a figure Amazon struggles to match in its entire retail history despite the scale difference.

All these years later, eBay is generating ~$2.3 billion in operating income and their auction business is under no serious competitive threat (it is a slow growth business however, basically fully saturated). Amazon's huge retail business is only barely able to match the profit of eBay's auction business.

The ultimate value in Amazon of course wasn't retail. For eBay, the value is actually in the ecommerce.

Hi, I've just tried Onubo and I'm both impressed and disappointed.

Impressed because it seems very simple to use. A lot simpler than faffing around with WSGI and nginx.

Disappointed because I couldn't get my app to work, and the error messages were unhelpful. Also there appears to be no help text anywhere.
