That's just garden variety selective laser melting, nothing specific to Space-X. Though I've never heard of "shaking it up", the standard way to apply powder is to use a moving arm with a powder feed.

For a hobbyist, I'd expect these could be a problem:

* Lasers that can melt metal are expensive and dangerous.

* Optics for such high powers are also expensive.

* Atmosphere control is a must, you don't want oxygen near metal powder under a laser.

I think at this point it would be better to start your own company and earn money from it, it seems a bit much for a fun garage project.

EDIT: There was a hobbyist project for an electron beam 3d printer posted to HN some time ago, maybe that would be more achievable (at least the beam shuts down itself if air enters the working area. The potential for implosion seems nasty though).
Not sure I would call it hypersanity (as people said, it is a bit self-congratulatory), but I think it is closely related to the "Jester" archetype, which I kinda like (and hacker - probably Wizard in terms of archetypes - mentality is close to it).

The Jester is a free thinker, who ultimately doesn't want to be encumbered by thinking about how his own thoughts or observations affect other people. In order to do that, he makes an implicit deal with the society. He rejects power or authority, and therefore, he is not going to be a threat for powers at be, whoever that is.

This can be made clear by, for example, wearing a funny costume all the time, therefore the image. In exchange for this postulated harmlessness, the Jester gains access to information and also ability to speak freely with powers at be. Of course the latter is also limited, his free speech cannot be used to undermine the authority, because then he would actually had a real power.

Therefore, Jester often uses non-serious, funny manner of speaking about things. Being laughed at by the unprivileged (while making witty and true observations) is a part of his strategy. It is also beneficial for the powerful (and sometimes part of the deal, in fact origin of the term "court jester"), because they get to pick his brain while not being threatened by him or his motives.

Some examples of Jesters in our society: John Oliver, John Stewart, Richard Feynman. But they are at every place (in programming, the most obvious celebrity examples are Erik Meijer and Steve Yegge). Look around, I am sure you will find people who are deliberate in attempt not to look too seriously, and you will probably have a Jester on your hands.

Some Jesters still decide to actually get power, but it is very risky, because the whole freethinking schtick relies on general belief that the Jester is harmless. (There is also an occasional literary trope where a Jester temporarily and discreetly uses his privilege to influence the world as a force of good.) These are, strictly speaking, not true to the archetype, they just mimic it, so let's call them "Mimes". A good example is Boris Johnson, who is consistently trying to look harmless, but in actuality is interested in power.
They're not really doing much that isn't in the papers they're quoting. Their flaws, of which there are certainly many, stem from the flaws in those papers. That's a rather hard problem to fix, so I have trouble faulting them.
> The point of an EV is that it ties TLS authentication back to a legal identity. Ian even helpfully points out that that the two "Stripe" companies, his and the famous payment company, have different corporate filings. He even links to them!

But that doesn't matter. The whole point of EV was that users would see the name in the address bar and trust it. If the model requires users to click through and read the details of the corporate filings, then EV was already a failure before it began.
It does need a magical physics solution unless you are fine with keep using coal, oil, gas and nuclear as backup.

When you factor in the infrastructure to support you when you don't have power yourself then it suddenly looks less economically sound.

That's the point.

We've also had something similar with Islamic style insurance/takaful. Money is put into a pool and the takaful fund managers take a service fee for managing it. The people who joined early got awesome plans. The ones who joined later got mediocre ones.
Square Enix's account management on the PS4 allowed me to set a password with a space on the end, but their website strips spaces from the password field when you sign in.

Lots of products solve an emotional need. Here you have people feeling angsty they aren’t buying when they keep hearing “home prices are increasing!!”, but they can’t buy today.

So here’s a company that says “here rent with us and we will apply some amount toward a home purchase”

Also remember that a lot of people DONT consistently invest / save. So a service that invests 7% of their rent for them seems like a good deal, even if the rent is say 10%-20% higher than market
One of the issues with the EC fines is that they leave it up to Google to invent a remedy. Similar to how a child who doesn't want to do a chore might do a bad job in hope that they won't be assigned again, Google can try to engineer a worse outcome as a "fix". If the EC is smart, they won't fall for it.

Thank you, this is informative. I gives me a window into the historical development of the present world.
Same. I grew up on Long Island taking the bus to school, as did every kid of sub-driving age I knew. Under New York law, even private school students got subsidized buses if the school was in some reasonable distance. We watched sitcoms and movies from Pete and Pete to Christmas stories where kids took the yellow bus to school.

Now I don't have kids, but plenty of my friends around the country do, and I'm always shocked to learn that school buses don't seem to be an option. Either they just don't exist in the district, or they require kids to cross major commercial roads to get to a stop.

The depressing thing to me is parents sort of roll their eyes when I ask, like this reasonable public amenity that everyone I grew up with relied on less than 20 years ago is the equivalent of the neighborhood milkman.
This judaic model where all loans are forgiven after a certain period is relevant too. I guess the capitalist workaround would be for the lender to keep ownership of the house and just evict the debtor on that deadline.

>We know what chemical structures are deeply harmful to the body and what are digestible

No we don't, we only really start looking at new kinds of toxins when they start affecting us.

GMO have one or many gene flipped, as a result many things are affected at once but genetic engineers/companies will look at optimising what interests them and ignoring the rest of the effect for the sake of cost cutting/simplification/shorter time to market. (These things have affected civil engineering companies too, which make your bridges dangerous but bridges are much simpler to reason compared to a multicellular organism like plants and bridges don't reproduce or evolve on their own. The seeds will not be picked by intercontinental birds and dropped somewhere where they start displacing local varieties or evolve into something dangerous (toxic?) for humans. While bridges have small life, genetic modification can survive for a very long time.

Some changes induced by GMO process will take long time test.

By that time it would have spread to billions of humans, thanks to modern industrial process and globalization.

Heck, we can't reliably alter genes in humans which makes them taller then how can you be sure of GMO crops?

Genetic engineers look at correlations in genes then they try to flip some of them randomly and if they observe positive change in the feature they are optimizing, they call it success if it doesn't produce immediate negative effects.

GMO variety also isn't sterile, so it might evolve into something dangerous. Why it shouldn't? The genetic history of the plant which stopped it from being toxic to humans, encoded in its genes has now been edited out by genetic engineers.

GMO come from flawed understanding of how genes work. Most GMO supporters claim that the nutations we are inducing through GMO process are also capable of happening in nature on its own.

Sure, but genes not just carry info of function but genetic history too that's how we remember how to fight viruses/backterias. A person who has been burned by keep their hand on flame will not try the same second time, same way a planet which has mutated in past in favour of something which made it resistant and survive in nature will select against the feature which made it survive.

GMO people think mutations happen at random, without any peeking at past mutations (genetic history) which is incorrect assumption.

I feel like there are a lot more layers to this that aren't discussed. I think it's a lot like enlightenment, in that there are sometimes considered different levels. Some can be comforting (money isn't everything), and some very sane thoughts are very disturbing (is humanity's nature to destroy itself?)

It seems like one of the SV buzz phrases is "fake it till you make it"/"be insanely optimistic and project that excitement". And that rarely comes from a place of sanity, but it can still work too.

Being sane and self-aware can be great, but I think it's overrated in terms of creating happiness.
MVC does not mix view and business logic.
Well, the Internet everyone uses isn't really designed for it. HTTP is a request/response model. But the model of filesharing is that I have a bunch of data and I want to send it to you, not that I have a bunch of data and I want you to ask me for it.

File sharing over the internet means setting up a webserver, after which it works beautifully. But nobody wants to do that. They want to use browsers.

TCP isn't asymmetric in the same way, but who's out there thinking of raw TCP as "the Internet"?

We're in general agreement, but the problem with the educational approach is just the relatively long timeframe over which it takes place. Sticking with your ww2 example, you could say some people certainly saw the risks by the time of the Nazi regime's ascent to power in 1933, but lacked the time as well as the will to adapt sufficiently quickly. We have less of an excuse because while a fully networked society is certainly novel, we certainly have sufficient historical perspective to know and really understand the downside risks compared to earlier generations.

-Not an aeronautical engineer, but I know that a lot of thought goes into ensuring that pretty much no matter what happens to the engine, debris flying from it is not going to damage the structural integrity of the wing or fuselage.

With redundant hydraulic/fuel/oil systems as well, much can happen to the engine without turning the airplane into a brick with passengers in it.

That being said, I am glad I am not on the Trent 1000 design team.
then the headline would read: “Apple finally adds web option for AppleCard”
That's different though. The algorithm applies to all sites, and if apple.com does the same thing a spam-site does, they will be punished by the algorithm as well. Hand picking is very different, in that similar things aren't treated similarly.

> in this case, some better sites resemble spam enough that they were also hit. a basic false positive, collateral damage.

I believe that as well, though not necessarily because of "spam", but because of the topic. I was just trying to explain how people might think that Google doesn't manually curate their results.
Probably a lot of small businesses can't get by with paying people who aren't working.
I'm not sure the people you cite were following a Disney formula. But along the lines you're drawing, sometimes they are persecuted (Galileo) sometimes die in poverty (Van Gogh) sometimes killed by a mob (Hypatia of Alexandria) and sometimes they are hounded to suicide (Allan Turing, Aaron Swartz)

But far more often, none of those things. And either way, I never have heard such people say they wish they'd been average.
You've got a bit of circular reasoning here.

Phishers weren't using SSL before HTTPS Everywhere much because it didn't matter. Most users (and in particular, unsophisticated users that are more likely to fall for phishing attempts) who type in passwords by hand aren't going to notice the lack of a padlock. We needed HTTPS Everywhere before browsers could meaningfully penalize the HTTP experience, otherwise they'd be penalizing the majority of sites on the internet. And we can't have HTTPS Everywhere unless SSL certificates are easy to obtain.

Which is to say, the fact that phishers can obtain a LE cert today for their phishing site and therefore not have the "Not Secure" indicator is not meaningfully different from the old days where they'd use HTTP and not have the small green padlock that most people don't notice.

I just replaced an EV certificate with a free AWS provided one on our website. We jumped through a lot of hoops a few years ago to get our EV certificate. This was a tedious process that involved form filling, credit cards, lots of waiting and poorly documented ways of handling the actual certificates. I actually had to append some text files to that were sent via email to get a valid thing that nginx actually understood, etc. I lost non trivial amounts of time with this. Because it was so tedious, we went for long lived certificates. When we switched to amazon we preserved our investment and uploaded the certificate to AWS and used it on an ALB.

Since then the market has changed a lot. E.g. Letsencrypt happened and several companies, including amazon, now offer very convenient ways of getting certificates. So, last week the process was as follows: 1) I created anew certificate in the region where I needed it. 2) after waiting for it to deploy, I selected it from a drop down on the ALB where it was needed. End of story. It will take care about renewal, adds no extra cost, and requires no fiddling with text files.
Yep, the 60 km is straight line or nearly straight. As soon as you start to bank and turn you lose altitude faster than the ideal. So the 60 km is a maximum, not a guarantee.

I found https://medium.com/@mikewacker/googles-manual-interventions-... an interesting read on that topic.

> The person best positioned to lock down a program is the developer.

The person best positioned to lock down a program is the maintainer of the platform on which all the other programs run.

In fact the individual program developers should strive not only to ignore security altogether, but to develop a common set of tools that delivers arbitrary third-party code to the user's machine. This makes security theater unlikely as any given developer will only have expertise in their program proper and not in the security of their program plus the arbitrary third-party code. This also ensures maximum velocity of domain-appropriate development and focuses on ease of program installation-- the exact opposite of the problem being parodied in the article.

That velocity will rapidly grow the platform. This neutralizes any efforts to thwart progress through ad hoc program lockdown as futile. At the same time it puts massive pressure on the platform itself to gracefully handle misbehaving programs lest systemic insecurity decrease installation velocity.

Thus you get a system where arbitrary programs may be installed as quickly as possible with a security model that works even if 100% of the programs installed are malicious.

The cost is that arbitrary user data is exfiltrated during most program installations and runtimes (but that is a minor implementation detail).

I thought it would be cool to have something like this with apartments. A company has apartments all over a city/state/country. A renter can move to any of the properties without breaking the lease or paying crazy fees. (Dependant on openings of course)

This way the apartment company can keep good tenants and the tenants can move around as needed with less burden.

I don't belive this will work in the realy world because of greed and whatnot but it's a nice idea.
They are much more reliable, but also much more costly to build and maintain. There was an argument that the A380 wasn't less fuel efficient simply because it had four engines. When you only have two engines they need to be much more reliable, have much higher peak output, and the costs of maintenance are greater. Whereas when you have four engines each engine is cheaper to build, can have more efficient power profiles, and are generally cheaper to maintain. All-in-all it's mostly a wash in terms of cost efficiency.

The argument goes that what killed the A380 wasn't having 4 engines, but having 4 old engines. All the newer planes have engines at least 1 if not 2 generations newer. Notably, the A380 wasn't cancelled until it became crystal clear that engine manufacturers weren't going to invest in redesigned engines. That's when the Emirates order fell through. While their year long dance with Airbus over pricing is what got the most press, it was the backroom negotiations with Rolls Royce that controlled whether the A380 remained cost effective.
That's assuming you even get an EV cert though. EV failed because it didn't provide any benefit, as evidenced by sites like PayPal (which you would think is the poster child for EV) ditching it. Because it didn't matter to users if you had an EV cert, you didn't need to get one.

The reason why "Stripe, Inc." is interesting is because it disproves the whole claim that users can trust the business name displayed, because they can't. It doesn't matter if the CA has a paper trail for the EV cert, because nobody's saying people will use EV certs for large-scale phishing attacks (users don't even notice its absence to begin with so there's no point). But since you can't trust the business name, it means EV is actually an attack vector for spearfishing. Pick a single high-value target, get a misleading EV cert, get them on that site. EV is now a significant negative.
Personally, I find it a little grotesque how many people share in these poor parent's horrifying tragedy. So much airtime and public eyes watching the absolute worst day of your life as a parent on national television and all over the internet. It's pretty horrible all around yet uniquely American.

What I think is worse is the contrast of how flippant people are with flu shots. We rightfully scorn anti-vaxxers, yet people aren't lining up to get their flu shot every year. 50000 people died from the flu in the U.S. alone last year. That's sixteen 9/11s, and almost as many U.S. soldiers were killed in action in the entire Vietnam war. In one flu season.

There's nothing political about the flu, nothing to be outraged about (except if you are me), no votes or money to be made by people reading and sharing it's coverage, and therefore it is buried into the footnotes far below the more profitable ad spend. Another statistic, but something that everyone could actually do something about if they walked into a CVS and got their fucking free shot.
I do. Something like Hotel California that invokes a vivid imagery in one's mind seems unthinkable today. I don't know whether this affects the imagination or lingual abilities of the listeners, but it certainly can not produce the same emotions.
