Fine in theory.

In practice we only get one planet, and trying to quantify whether taking care of it outweighs the loss of income of just letting the damage happen is not merely wrong, but outright terrifyingly inhuman.

Did you look at any of my math at all? 1/67000 is a pretty tiny fraction alright.

Ok, here’s some more math. The average distance between asteroids in the belt is apparently over twice as far as the moon. The moon is still very far away for us. There will be no rescues for a very long time and remember that humans die at 10Gs, so when I say very long time I’m not just talking about faster rockets. I’m talking about basic research in human physiology.

If a company can escape their (financial, environmental, social) responsibilities by filing for bankruptcy before they have to pay out, they should be paying it forward.

In my country, pension funds are always separate companies from the employers; they have to deposit part of your wage into the pension fund, after which they can no longer touch it (because well, it's your money).

Of course, whether the pension companies handle it appropriately is another matter.

To be fair, they technically already do when you take it with yours with you somewhere.

As long as the mounting plate is sufficiently isolated from the rest of the car's movement, they shouldn't need to suffer any vibration in excess of what they'd endure under normal use and transport conditions.

Of course, it's still a better situation for consumers: if the iPad does die, you can replace it that same day with an off the shelf part (or you plug your phone in for that day instead), it's trivially expensive compared to what head units of similar type cost (it's actually even cheaper if you can use a bargain-basement 50-dollar Android tablet instead of an iPad), and it's something that you can upgrade as you get the money to do so.

Plus, it also heavily discourages manufacturers from pulling a Tesla and refusing to start your car before you update the infotainment software, which is also a shockingly anti-consumer trend.

Sorry for making unclear references. My question was referring to "it is [lift], not thrust, that creates the problem MCAS was intended to fix", which I never addressed before.

The article you linked has some nice cross-sectional illustrations that makes clear that the thrust line of the MAX engine actually is higher than on the NG. I hadn't realized this but it makes sense given their larger diameter and needed ground clearance. That would indicate that the thrust dependent pitch up is likely smaller on the MAX than the NG so, if the MAX behaves worse, it stands to reason that the aerodynamic effect must dominate.

I guess the issue is that lift overall is just so much larger that a small shift in the center of lift has a large effect on pitch moment?

As for your comment about longitudinal stability, I agree that
the pitch moment due to thrust is independent of AoA and hence can't change the shape of the pitch moment curve. I gotta think about this some more.
What do you even mean by "international terrorists"? Is it what your government calls "international terrorists"? If so, then by definition they differ from, say, Al-Qaeda by the fact, that they are considered an ally by the USA (well, that, and that they have more resources).

Otherwise, it is your choice, whether you need a distinction like that. I don't see how it might be useful.

The Tesla Model S has been on the market since 2012, and the specification/design of the screen has not changed in that time. I don't think buying a 7-year-old product, that has been through 7 years of refinements and improvements, makes you an early adopter!

Further more, it seems to be relatively new screens that suffer from the yellowing problem. It doesn't seem to be a common issue in Teslas built before 2016 or so.

Which democracies is Russia trying to subvert in ways the US isn't? You could argue that Russia is supporting nationalist movements in most of Europe, but there are very similar efforts from the US.

For example, in my own country, Romania, US religious groups stoked local religious groups to initiate a referendum to change of our constitution to ban gay marriage (they actually made it through all the steps and the referendum was held, but so few people showed up to vote that it fell through). Would this count? It was done through false news and propaganda (and probably some minor corruption, but that's just par for the course), but otherwise through legal means - same as all modern Russian influence in Europe that I've heard of.

Let's not forget that the US has explicitly assassinated its own citizens for 'suspicion of terrorism' as well, though they're at least not assassinating their own citizens on their own territory, and not in the kind of huge numbers that Russia and China are.

I know some people know git in depth but for me its a tool that shouldn't be main the focus of my work. It should work and get out of the way (which it does for basic workflows).

> It really illustrates the adventurous attitude and boldness these astronauts.

I remember reading something years ago along the lines that the astronauts they would select for a hypothetical mars mission would be a totally different type than the Apollo astronauts.

The Apollo guys were more the cowboy and daredevil type, where for an 18 month space mission you’d need much more level head types.

Not sure if that was a thing NASA had already planned for, but it always made sense to me.

Ask HN: How to get paying clients (photography)
I don´t know if it´s the right place to ask, but i have a not tech related question and hope that maybe someone had a similar experience in the same or some other field.

I have done many photo shoots for free. The positiv feedback resulted in recommendations. People I've been recommended to and who also want a shoot now also expect free photos. What is the best way to ask for money without being labeled as "cash-hungry" ?

I want to focus on code and not be wrestling with a version control system.
Usually when someone breaks out an analogy like this it's because the comparison is not like for like and there is something they want to obfuscate.

Quite simply, because Steam is not Google. Steam's value is in all the games you want to play being on Steam, not in its discovery algorithm. It loses nothing by exposing that algorithm because even if you had it, you would not be able to build Steam as you do not have the games that are on Steam. It has vendor lock in.

There's no such lock in for Google. Google doesn't have exclusive rights to the websites it indexes and anyone could, it they had an algorithm as good as Google's (and the computing resources) build Google.

The only tech factor holding Google in place as the #1 search engine is that its algorithm is better than everyone else's. The algorithm is intellectual property that Google has invested billions of dollars in developing.

Providing the weightings (and allowing as some people are suggesting the ability to hobble Google's algorithm by using your own) would be the first step towards someone reverse engineering Google and be a material business risk for them.

As a small translation aid, when physicists talk about criticality, they tend to talk about "dimensions" instead of "degree".

In a one-dimensional system, a line, you can have at most two nearest neighbors, in a two-dimensional system 4, 3D has 6 neighbors, and so on.

Physicists have no trouble talking about fractional dimensions either, which can be realized in surfaces, fractal-like substances and so on.

Dimensions higher than 3 are achieved when interactions between non-nearest neighbors are relevant.
> Git is pretty nice, but I'm sure there is something much better waiting to he invented.

It is indeed being invented. It’s called Pijul: http://pijul.org/

This tool is based on strong mathematical theory of patches, instead of snapshot/commit-based. It seems simpler to reason with, but we’d have to unlearn a lot from Git.

It’s not suitable for big projects yet, but it’s already used by Pijul itself and other Rust components. And it already have its own „Github” called the Nest (because pijul is a bird). Pretty promising imho.

I have an iPhone 6 which once had a third-party screen installed to replace a cracked one.

The replacement screen looked great at first - indistinguishable from the original one.

But over time it has developed exactly the same issue: a yellow band/border/ring around the outside of the screen. I wonder if this is a wider issue within the LCD industry, rather than just being specific to Tesla.
McGhee v National Coal Board is probably the most instructive case on the matter. It brought a 'material increase in risk' test to apply to the causation step of analysis. The case has been widely cited and has had international impact.

Your jurisdiction might deal with things differently, but this case has had international adoption, as the framework deals with scientific uncertainty fairly elegantly.
You do need a plan for the next few decades.

Which is exactly what successfully managed cities do. There's usually something like a master plan that outlines the greater strategy for the next 20 years, or so.

Of course there's no expectation that it will be exactly implemented as planned, but is immensely helpful as a general outline and to define the overall strategy of where a city is going with things like housing, population, public and non-public transit, etc.

It is the interpretation of all of the international community except for the US and Israel. The UN has repeatedly voted to recognize this, often being blocked by the US. There is no real controversy on this.

The entire UN Security Council officially recognized this, with even the US not using their veto power (they abstained).

For a handful of organisations, yes - though the adoption of limited liability structures en masse dates only to the late 19th Century, at least in England.

Best advice I've heard here is that you need to talk less about how you're coping, and more about how it's still impairing you despite that.

An intermediary message broker can give you a HUGE benefit though. A touch more robustness (a service can disappear for a short while and hopefully nobody even notices), you get load balancing "for free" (with carefully designed services), and if you're careful with your framework you can keep failed messages sitting around for you to analyse or even replay later. Most likely with HTTP you're going to need some kind of middle man anyway (load balancers, proxies, etc). Though I agree with your conclusion, and I think it mostly stands for almost all tools. Know your problems and apply the appropriate solutions.
The Swedish courts disagree. They said that the prosecutor must use all available methods to progress the case, and if the objective is to interview a person of interest who is yet to be official charged then that is what the law say they should do. The law do not give an exception that it may give a precedent that people suspected of a crime may seek political asylum in a embassy and that the interview is then located there.

But let say this did create a precedent that you can dictate where the interview is located by seeking political asylum. Is that bad? In the US you can escape the reach of justice by just being pardoned by the president. Apple to apple comparison, the situation with political asylum seem like a better precedent.

>> The designers failed to take into account the physics of water in zero-g, which unintentionally allowed coolant water to mix with the air supply.

> They did not take into account that a space suit will primarily be used in… space. wat?!?

That's not entirely fair. It's easy enough to know that something will be used in particular circumstances, but not to realise all of the consequences. Water behaves very, very weirdly in microgravity as compared with here on Earth, and unless you, personally, have experienced it and experimented with it, it's very, very easy not to notice something, or to expect something other than what actually happens.
Temperature differences cause materials to crack, which is the main failure cause.

Assume your in the US but will chime in anyway. We are a payments company that works with ~10 banks across two countries in SEA. Most for financial operations, some for our own working capital. Ive delt with about 10-15 more banks previously.

The litmus test for me is how the account manager assists during account opening. The very best will sit down with you and learn about your business, its financial requirements and ask for your documentation. They will then meet you a second time with the filled in forms and show you where to sign to set everything up.

Banks with the above process generally tend to be much more responsive once your set up, with reps that tend to be much more organised and knowledgable of their banks products.

On the tech side, its important to note that for corporate accounts the main problem you will have is edge cases during processing (Incoming / Outgoing remittance problems). Ironically fancy new i-banking systems tend to fare worse with edge cases. The older, horrible-looking i-banking portals usually have things like audit trails etc that can assist you in times of need. They also load quicker (even if you cant press back without triggering an error)!
