Even more likely than Mars production IMO is micro G production that drops finished goods into various gravity wells based on demand. At that point you provide interesting new manufacturing capability to Earth with all of it's capital available in return in a way that also let's you significantly more easily support colonization efforts elsewhere.

IMO, that's Space X and Blue Origin's goal. The first one to become Weyland Yutuni will also anoint the first trillionaires even without the colonization efforts.

You can see Space X leading the game here with their work on Star Link. That gives them experience managing a constellation orders of magnitude larger than any before, and shows the overall strategy of leveraging extra capacity in a way that people on Earth will continuously pay for, in order to bootstrap serious micro g infrastructure.
They said they were going to shut it down if search didn’t change.

I think customers would prob prefer that to losing it, so they should at least try rather than simply throwing it away.

Happy scale 2 could work. Or maybe some new feature, not sure how best to work it. They’d be the one to know what their audience might support, but I think they should at least try.

Though hopefully search gets fixed and it won’t be necessary.
This is slightly detrimental to the driver. Anything less than 5-stars is basically negative.

I’ve had a perfect 5.0 rating over 500 rides but would occasionally get lower ratings or 1-star for reasons I didn’t know. Bad smell outside comes through the vent? May a strong short stop in ridiculous traffic?

The ratings were meaningless to me, there’s no actionable result you can make. It just tormented me with some anonymous, ambiguous criticism of a already super stressful job that paid $20/hour.
Easy. Just use Firefox.
> fresh out of undergrad, I gave myself mostly 5/5s and a couple 4/5s where I thought I needed improvement.

Wow, I never would have expected that. I would only give myself (or expect) a 5/5 if I was really awesome in that category. On a 1-5 scale, the majority of my self-ratings would probably be 3s, with 2s for areas where I know I'm weak, and 4s for areas where I know I'm strong.

Ratings of 1 and 5 are, to me, reserved for the very end of each extreme. 1 means "nothing could be worse", and 5 means "nothing could be better".
This has to be one of the worst marketing ideas ever conceived of. What consumer, in their right mind, would admire their efforts to put their brand on wikimedia images? This is exactly how you should not do marketing.
I'm pretty confused as to why you think I contradicted myself, and your last couple sentences don't really make sense to me.

When making a game from scratch, you need to produce art assets (often 50-70% of the cost of the game is art assets alone), design gameplay mechanics, market the game, test the game, and distribute the game (which, in the old days, often meant making physical cartridges or disks). Let's say that 10% of the labor in making a game from scratch went to programming. When you're re-implementing a game, all you need recreate is that 10%. So if re-implementing a game is an order of magnitude easier than making a game from scratch, there's no reason to think that programming games has gotten any easier.
Your attitude doesn't account for the possibility that since you do business with somebody, you need or want to receive some of their emails.

This is the nature of any relationship. You can't be ruthless in eliminating aspects you don't like, if you don't want to end it entirely because it's net positive.
Thanks a lot for the reference, I will have a look!
I agree with making rules. But since developers as a whole can’t be trusted and there are technical ways that Apple can enforce to ensure that the rules aren’t broken (in most cases), I think they should.

Apple’s priorities have long been known:

1. Apple

2. Users

If I’m doing a google search, you’re probably right. If I’m searching my gmail account, you’re probably wrong. I’ve searched for exact phrases that occur in my email (for both gmail and outlook) and failed to get the matches anywhere in the results (and had to find them by other means). Same with Jira. It’s very frustrating to have to sort through hundreds or thousands of messages for the result you wanted.

Cool - Thanks for the reply! Will definitely be checking outschool in more detail.

I think the benefit of the pre-recorded sessions like from Coursera and Khan Academy, is that one concern is unsupervised teacher-learner interaction could be problematic if its unclear how the teacher has been screened.

For instance is the teacher in live mode going to do anything inappropriate or try to initiate in person contact with the learner, etc.
I agree. Paying 9.99 for 2TB of iCloud storage is an easy pill to swallow when it’s backing up my phone (and photos) automatically. I’ll never understand why Dropbox avoids the smaller tiers for personal accounts. They have to be missing out on a sizable market.
I think we'd need to look globally, because it's easy to outsource your energy intensive activities.

If I buy my bread from a baker, I can say I don't need any energy to run an oven anymore, but that doesn't imply that when the baker gets as wealthy as I am the world won't need ovens anymore.

> I think a lot of people complaining about Angular haven't actually built an app in Angular 4+. [...] the 1 -> 2 transition frustrated a lot of people who jumped ship and never looked back.

I share this impression and feeling. Telling me that most of the stuff I learned for 1 was now useless (or worse, misleading) because 2 was doing everything differently was the first thing that soured me. The _promise_ of regular breaking changes soured me further, and the steep learning curve and high start-up cost sealed the deal.

With Vue, I can have a small proof of concept running without even a compiler in a few minutes. With Angular, I have to comprehend and set up the entire (new) project structure and sit down for hours learning concepts to be able to do anything - all that while remembering that the last time I learned their proprietary concepts, it all changed shortly after, and that the developers _promise_ that it will continue to change under me.

It _probably_ still makes sense for big projects, but damn, they're doing everything to keep people from trying.
Agreed. I have 32 GB for free after maxing out referrals and all of their DropQuests but would jump on a $2-$5/month plan with less storage. 2 TB is overkill for what I need.
I think the part that makes it hard to emphasize with this case rather than others (someone who became disabled and is unable to work and can't get social services, their work has been not fruitful enough for economic migration, or any of the other regular cases that pop up on HN that do draw out empathy). At what point do you understand the job is no longer secure? I feel like GM particularly has been such a popular dead horse to beat this article seems weird. 2008 financial crisis with the bailouts? The thousands of newspaper articles? When the majority of parts are made by secondary parties instead of GM? The constant layoffs and other plant closures?

I feel there is at least a minimum of 15 years of warning signs that the average person on the assembly line is going to get cut eventually and at least 8-9 announced layoffs that did just that. In that article he explicit references watching other plants suffer the same fate he later did. I have no idea how someone in his position would feel their job is secure other than blind faith, especially because the white collar jobs have been cut just as much as the blue collar ones at the auto manufacturers. He also seems to have actual skills (article references working in the paint shop) compared to others that he might not be quantifying accurately and I hope that he's able to figure that out after looking back on his tenure.

The only thing I feel is something I can emphasize with in this article is the part about feeling trapped in the local health care network that makes it not as feasible to do any sort of economic migration at the risk of not being able to recover the critical health services that they would have lost. If this was the primary point of the article I feel it would resonate better.
A few of the images don't even contain the logo at all (AFAICT). Maybe those were uploaded as distractions so it didn't look like a single-purpose advertising account.
It might create a monopoly of browser engines, but not a monopoly of browser vendors, which is the harmful part (of course we might be heading to a browser vendor monopoly anyway, but that's due to Google abusing their market position, not the complexity of HTML).
"First off, everyone at Netflix knew that DRM wouldn't stop piracy. They knew what Bittorrent was after all."

The objective of DRM is not to stop piracy, it's to put the thresholds of difficulty or labour beyond the reach of most people. Which it does, as evidenced by the robust revenues of things like films in iTunes, otherwise, that business could not exist.

Like by reducing the number of linkable devices from infinity to 3 for free accounts? I was enjoying my free 16GB of space from referring two dozen of my friends and family members. Guess how many angry text messages and e-mails I've received.

Hint: way more than enough to preclude me from recommending Dropbox to anyone ever again.
The only thing I'm missing on Firefox is when I am on my Macbook, is that fling when using my touchpad. It's essential to any MacOS app and it feels weird not to have it. I'm used to it on Linux and Windows though.
Ideally it looks at the delta from the average scores that you awarded when determining de-activations.
I agree with some of the comments on the article: there are good reasons to keep durability and atomicity separated, and to allow apps to specify what they need.

Also, a while back there was another paper that had a much better API as it allowed atomicity across files: https://github.com/ut-osa/txfs

Neither DRM nor the war on drugs works. Music is a perfect example. Almost all music is available DRM free. Yet Spotify and Apple Music exist. Why? Because they are easier.

Look at Portugal for proof that the war on drugs doesn't work. The decriminalized all drugs, and you know what happened? Usage went down, because people didn't feel a stigma for getting help.

The reason PayPal is ignored by most people is two reasons. 1. In its current form, it has less resemblance to what he wanted to do with it (its a better product because of this fact) and 2. He famously found the biggest hurdles for humanity and their solutions after selling PayPal and becoming a multi millionaire with nothing but time to spend it. Originally he wanted to put a mini greenhouse on mars as a media stunt.

"Not destroying the company through your own negligence should be basic standard practice. Repeatedly failing a phishing test even when given proper security education (like PhishMe provides) is negligence that can destroy an entire company."

The issue is that people are trained and required to ignore warning signs most of the time, so it is impossible to crack down too harshly.

Employees by definition do not really care about destroying the company, because they do not own it and can walk away if they like. So the company does not have unlimited leverage over them.
You're a fucking faggot, dude.
If I were you I'd send an email to prof. Erik Demaine about this. If you write your email thoughtfully enough, then I think he's the kind of person to answer. I would in his position send at least a quick reply.

I have the same question, except I already have a partial answer (i.e. less interested in going after it, I sometimes do these things if I'm interested enough). I'm currently working my way up 6.006, but I wonder why I'd have to do advanced data structures. My guess is: I think I don't, because it's more of a research area than anything else.

I would need to take a quick look to see if there are some interesting data structures solving some interesting problems.

Personally, I'd be interested in time travel and memory hierarchy (caching) as topics. I think they might have some immediate practical utility in those areas.

Does Wikipedia have a policy on logos in photos in general?

There is a ton of stuff companies could do that include their brand in an incidental way. Here is the article on kidney stones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_stone_disease

imagine a medical supply company took an objectively much better photo but had its logo in tiny letters somewhere on the tape measure or a beaker or something. seems to me a fair trade, it's pretty hard to take stunning photos and there are lots of subjects that don't have it. as long as it's just a few pixels and passes a normal human filter (it's better than what it replaced) I am just not seeing the huge harm. if the after picture was worse, it should get shown in this outrage article.
Yes, Google owns Widevine. But if they really wanted to hurt browsers that don't have EME, they'd deploy DRM to all youtube videos, including the free ones and maybe even offer other DRM types like DRM'd text and DRM'd photographs and use them in their web services.
Right, no false negatives. It's trivial to determine whether a message purporting to come from one of your corporate domains was actually sent through an authorized internal server. Plus the IM integration in Outlook makes it super obvious which messages came from legitimate internal senders and which did not.
Apple is behind WebKit and has a lot to gain by going against Google.

People depend on Chromium/Blink because there's no other options. You can't really embed Gecko, and WebKit (Safari) can sometimes lack desirable web platform features.

> the altitude seems to stabilize. So why the sudden drop before the crash?

> There must be a sudden behavioural change of the plane or the pilots right before it went down

The altitude was stable because the pilot valiantly countered the AND (aircraft nose down) trim input from MCAS with ANU trim (using the electric trim switch) again and again and again. And again.

From what I gather, he then handed the plane off to the copilot to look things up in the QRH (Quick reference handbook, checklists basically), and unfortunately the copilot did not trim up quite as stubbornly, allowing MCAS to trim down so much as to be unrecoverable with elevator control forces alone. Truly terrible.

> Second question: why did they retract the flaps? Wouldn't the wings generate more lift with flaps extended?

Standard operating procedure after the initial climb, you retract flaps. Yes, wing would generate more lift with flaps, but that’s not the problem if you’re pointing downward.

Having said that, deploying flaps would have inhibited MCAS and allowed them to control the plane, maybe, but they didn’t know that.

EDIT to add: I’m talking about the doomed Lion Air flight here (which the FDR data plot linked above pertains to, if I’m not mistaken).
