It's not really comparable to the space shuttle. It's about 30 feet long (compared to the shuttle's 180 feet) and launches as a payload of a regular rocket.

It has some similarities in its heat shield, the wings and the runway landing, but as a tiny robotic vehicle that doesn't need fast turnaround because it's in space for many months at a time many of the problems of the space shuttle don't apply.

>The point of economics is that it keeps us alive so we can do math

Well yes, life continuity is not something to subestimate. Thinking derives from perceiving and acting in the world. I agree that the achievement was finding the _closed-form solution_. But it will have a beautiful impact in wealth creation, now and in the future, no doubt. Can't be seen now and who knows when and to what extent this could disrupt optics for the better. Maybe not too much or maybe four decades from now this make possible to start using devices that we can't recognize now.

I believe that Ubuntu gets their packages from Debian unstable not stable. So the latest Ubuntu most likely already has very similar packages (if not slightly newer) to this.
Announced as in "it was described as such in the blog post that announced the Vouch feature": https://blog.ycombinator.com/two-hn-announcements/

Though I agree with you that India and China should do more but they still are way behind in carbon use per person. And are investing heavily on renewables so hopefully will never use as much per person as US or Europe are now.

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2019/01/chart-of-the-day-thes...

But this is the reason I don't believe we will be able to stop or even slow down climate change much as major power consumption growth is going to be outside US and Europe. So even if they are able to bring down carbon use the growth of carbon use in other places like Africa and Asia will offset it. The world is fucked and I am very pessimistic about it. The world population is expected to go over 10billion in the future but the world can't sustain the 8billion we have now.
I don’t think anyone here has the knowledge to say. You’d normally want the thrust vector to pass through the center of mass. Maybe on orbit it hangs stuff off the starboard side.
Ubuntu is cut from Debian testing, not stable. Testing uses a rolling release, so any recent Ubuntu will already have most of the changes that went into Buster today.

I have a friend who worked at a call centre located in asia for an American company. They were threatened with termination if customers heard them speaking in their native language and the training for the job consisted mostly of faking an American way of speaking as much as possible.

> people still don't like super visible RNG affecting the outcome.

Everybody says this, but the problem is that RNGs are friendlier to noobs.

The real problem is that any game like this has two markets--noobs and experts. And you have to win over both--that's a tall order.

You have to have a continuous influx of noobs or your game dies. However, the experts have to be able to fleece the noobs and gain enough money consistently or they will leave and you will have nobody encouraging the noobs.
The problem with testing is you may wait for security updates much longer.
I don't see the correlation here. Is every equation henceforth discovered guaranteed to be more complex than any before it? I hope not.
A chromium project called Bromite exposes this flag[0], but I don't think it's ever been available on Desktop versions of Chrome (probably due to the likelihood of Schools, Enterprises, etc. getting mad if a user uses it to circumvent DNS blocks).

As per a comment by Eric [unknown surname] at Microsoft here[1], you can enable it on desktop chrome by adding the following to your chrome launch options:

--enable-features="dns-over-https<DoHTrial" --force-fieldtrials="DoHTrial/Group1" --force-fieldtrial-params="DoHTrial.Group1:server/https%3A%2F%2F1.1.1.1%2Fdns-query/method/POST

This can easily be done persistently via Windows, but I'm not sure what it would take on Mac. The official Chromium guide for starting with launch options[2] only recommends opening terminal every time, which would mean it can't be easily ran on each launch with the shortcut/dock icon.

> How anyone can argue against faster wireless internet connections seems crazy to me.

If it came without costs nobody would be against it. The question is if's worth the cost and opportunity costs.
Trick question. False dichotomy. Its the company that spent those years best serving their customers with whatever technology worked for them.
The keys were good to my grandparents. My grandfather met his closest friend there in the 1960s when their families both vacationed there. His friend was an economics professor at UIUC, and the two of them would never have met otherwise.

Another surreal Keys moment for me was seeing the MTV cribs episode with Aaron Carter. I'm virtually sure that compound previously belonged to another of my grandfather's friends. His business was helicoptering around financial documents in sort of the pre-networking version of HFT. I used to bike in that compound as a tween.
Also it was the most deadly launch system ever created, killing on average one astronaut for every ten launches.

The combination of needing human crew for every single mission and not having an launch escape system (something basically every other rocket had) wasn't a great compromise.
>> these machines seem perfectly sufficient

That I do agree with. I wanted to buy an ARM machine to do CI for one of my clients, and currently the only real option for that seems to be Cavium ThunderX. And pricing is way out there in the stratosphere for what you get. Instead I could see them deploying a few of these for a fraction of the cost.
Ask HN: Recommend PR agencies for crowdfunding pre-launch campaign
I’m planning to run a crowdfunding pre-launch marketing campaign for our hardware product for makers. I would like to hear success stories with PR/marketing agencies, especially those who have a good hand in hardware/maker oriented publications. I’d also appreciate if you could share which ones to avoid.
I also run Debian (almost) everywhere. For those who want a rolling release, Debian testing is also surprisingly stable. One of my laptops has been on testing getting continuous updates for about 7 years now and still runs great.
I've been told before that this advice isn't appropriate for anyone who isn't a Debian developer. Things can break and testing may not get important security patches until a while after unstable and stable.
Python. I use it on Windows and on Linux and sometimes a Mac.
Out-Pirating the Pirates (2008) [audio]
I would argue that’s mostly due to the Linux kernel being stable. Not to take anything away from Debian the hard work of the maintainers and contributed of Debian.
Last time checked it's better to avoid fixed encrypted partitions. I didn't look into it any further but uploading a 100mb partition file every time for a 5mb doc file it's not practical.
That’s probably not a bad thing. We have the benefit of hindsight of decades of GUI management and it probably isn’t more than a weekend project to get a baseline library worked out to build cool things (like awesomewm and i3 and dwm) off of. Which probably already exists.
I love how it's 2019 and installing Debian still requires a PhD in forensic psychology to find the download link.
You're right, I'm pretty sure Zerglings are descended from insects.
Valve's revenue models are going to kill it. At least, kill it as a studio that can create high quality games. I not opposed to them making money and getting compensated for hard work but the level of greed is getting insane. For the Dota TI prize pool, they take 75% of the revenue from Battle Pass related sales (i.e. digital in-game items, like DLCs). Its not hard to understand why they do it, the profit is insane:

https://dotesports.com/dota-2/news/the-international-2019-pr...

However, why should the company ever spend the effort to build games? Making the Battle Pass content is vastly easier. I don't see how they are going to be able to wean themselves off such a juicy revenue stream.

Artifact was a result of this new reality. The game was designed from the get-go to optimize revenue from in-game digital items. Why should a digital card in a computer game cost $100? A rational person would realize it is an insane idea. I'm glad that Artifact crashed and burned.

I don't think Valve learned their lesson. The whole game industry is moving that way. E.g. free to play games with paid in-game items. I wish they could figure out a more healthy way to fund game development. Human nature being what it is, I'm not holding my breath.
> test chairs on your on as much as you can

This is the correct answer. I spent 8 hours researching, trying out (i.e. testing) 25-30 chairs since for over a year I worked completely remote from my home office. You really need to sit in them for a good 15-20 min before you can get a real sense of what is comfortable and what will cause your body issues (and every body is different).

In the end I chose a used Herman Miller Embody off of Craigslist. It was about 75% off, in like-new condition, and fit my body perfectly. The only way I came to that conclusion was from trying out so many chairs and feeling what was nice and what wasn't.

In addition, I'd also stress ergonomics and good posture in addition to comfort. Comfort can't be the only signal or else you could get a chair that rewards bad posture and make you feel good now, but way worse after years of poor posture.
Tremendously so, yes, but it's still going to be a lot of work.
You're still thinking like a passive consumer, you won't get very far changing the world like that.
> What we really need are distributed operating systems.

A lot of what you are asking for was and is in VMS.
Don't know why it's offset (probably just "form over function", it doesn't need to look pretty), but it's likely no big deal. Those thrusters are gimbaled anyway, it can point wherever you want, and is typically adjusted in realtime.

Some folks may not have 50 minutes to listen. Here's a print interview with Max Hardberger:

The unit of resolution of that photo is just a little bit smaller than the size of the hole in the middle. Thus you are looking at the inverse convolution function that generates all the in-between pixels as much as you are looking at the black hole.

Eyeballing it you can't judge much at all, maybe the central hole is really smaller, maybe the ring is a little thinner, maybe not. It is a Rorschach test as much as anything else.
> After every large financial event you are going to find some person who predicted it.

Yes, but not so many made a fortune from it, and even fewer who gave a proper explanation of why the crisis is going to happen and weren't just lucky.

These guys from "The Big Short" movie were explicitly betting against CDO, not against SNP500 as other lucky folks who also made a lot of money.

> I think you'll have a hard time finding someone who made more than one correct prediction (and none, or at least very few incorrect ones).

Predicting one of 5 crisis during lifetime (with real money) and simply not losing money during other 4 crisis is a huge success for predictor I think.

> It's easy to be correct if you just throw everything at the wall as see what sticks.

Only those predictors who throw real money at the wall count, not these endless newspaper analysts.

TL;DR I don't believe those folks from the movie were just lucky.
The technically superior but morally grey solution to this problem is to buy whichever version of the movie is optimal for the hardware + software you have and when the time comes for you to update your setup to the point your copy of the movie is no longer optimal you pirate a copy of the movie that is.
It might look a bit different if you are looking right down the jet that comes from the pole.
The total muscle mass of involvement with deadlifts is higher than squats because of the lever used by your arms (whereas you support the bar with your back in the squat, the same muscles that keep the bar close to you when deadlifting).

Rather than someone interpret this as "do deadlifts over squats" I'd say "do both because they're both great for your body if executed with proper form and weight."
>Why is the former political and the latter not?

In that example, I'd say neither one is political. Now, if the one side started saying "Blue-skyers should be deplatformed", THAT would be political.

>Here, you do not really explain why the intuitive thinking used by other authors (extrapolation) is less valid than the intuitive thinking you suggest

I suppose if you really want to get down to brass tacks, my "contraceptives are like bacteria" comment was an instance of paradeigma, a rhetorical procedure popularized by Aristotle in which one attempts to help guide one's audience by presenting analogous anecdotes.

The difference between that and the extrapolators is that the extrapolators, at least in most cases I think, are unaware that they are falling prey to an unjustified extrapolation. None of them have come out and explicitly defended the implicit logic "Inverse correlation for the past several decades => inverse correlation forever". If someone DID want to explicitly defend it, they might use paradeigma right back at me, saying something like, "The inverse correlation is like the sunrise. We've observed the sunrise for a long time, and the sun will certainly continue to rise". Of course, such a rhetorical maneuvre would be unlikely to win many debate points, because the audience isn't stupid and can clearly see that analogy's too much of a stretch!

>it is about the words that are not there

But then basically you can twist anything at all into being political. I could say "1+1=2" and you could say "That's political! You're trying to imply something about binary genders, since you didn't explicitly throw out a disclaimer that you aren't trying to imply something about binary genders!"

Not that I'm trying to accuse you of consciously doing that... I think I'm guilty, myself, of sometimes reading politics into things that are apolitical. It can be particularly tempting to subconsciously categorize threads into teams, like, "This guy is X party and is on my side", "This guy is Y party and is the enemy". I've been trying recently to stop doing that, because I believe if I can get past that, there's a lot to learn from the people I thought of as enemies.
'Kerfuffle' Erupts Around Newly-Proposed Try() Feature for Go Language
Hijacking top comment...

We can confirm that on 2019-07-06 there was a Canonical owned account on GitHub whose credentials were compromised and used to create repositories and issues among other activities. Canonical has removed the compromised account from the Canonical organisation in GitHub and is still investigating the extent of the breach, but there is no indication at this point that any source code or PII was affected.

Furthermore, the Launchpad infrastructure where the Ubuntu distribution is built and maintained is disconnected from GitHub and there is also no indication that it has been affected.

We plan to post a public update after our investigation, audit and remediations are finished.

Thank you, your trust in Canonical is important to us, which is why we make privacy and security a priority.

All that said, in space based operations your UV isnt going to be filtered and may allow you to generate more power.
Probably to fit something else there.

The thruster can gimbal/pivot, and the software already has to measure the current center of mass of the vehicle because payloads etc affect it enough to make you go in circles. So accounting for an offset thruster might not even be a software change since it's a parameter the software already has to find automatically.

Also note how the main engines of the space shuttles are really far offset at launch and fire at a weird angle to compensate.
Maybe it's just to save the expense, delay, and uncertainty that jury trials introduce in highly technical corporate disputes? This is not opting out of the court system, since judges still get to hear the case as usual.

I'm not sure I like it even so, but it would prevent Atlassian from financially pressuring founders in a litigation by insisting on a jury trial.
> My advice to anyone buying a Pi 4 would be “Just buy a Pi-branded power-supply.”

I agree in theory but not in practice. I use RPi largely with students and tend to prefer inexpensive USB batteries over fighting facilities to provide enough AC access for 35 students (or carrying a bag of power strips with me to every lab).

I’m going to be doing some testing, but it seems like I’ll probably be sticking with the 3B+ until the situation improves.

Scratch that.

How do you find that without knowing exactly where it is already? What do you click on? Where is it on the page? What and how much do you have to ignore before you finally get to the part at every stage that's actually relevant to the breadcrumb trail?

[edit] The "click Get Debian" responses are absolutely killing me. OH YES AND THEN WHAT? How many paragraphs of jargon do you have to casually slide past? How many links do you have to _not_ click? How do you know which links to actually click vs all the ones that you're supposed to not click? The definition of "free"? The "installation manual"? Will the small image be incomplete? What's the difference between a small CD and a tiny CD? What's the difference between a USB stick and a "flexible" USB stick? Can't I put a DVD on a USB stick? I swear this kind of UX aspect blindness is why people hate SWEs.
It costs metro $45 per ride to stay open late. It’d be much cheaper to just have WMATA subsidize an Uber.
I think even in small yards it's better to have a couple of upright trees. For pomes (apples, pears etc) in Australia we're seeing most nurseries now sell these on M27 (tiny footprint - will grow to about the size of a human), or M9 (bit bigger but still quite dwarfed).

3 x M27 grafted apples will take up the same (or less) space than a single standard multi-graft tree, but be easier to manage, be more resilient, while still giving you the longer harvest season & variety options.

My quantum physics teacher at the U of U was doing research in this area about 10 years ago. It was very interesting hearing him talk about that process, and the ways that different plant molecules capture energy in different ways.
