Some of it's paid for by the merchants

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/04071...

> When merchants accept payment via credit card, they are required to pay a percentage of the transaction amount as a fee to the credit card company. If the cardholder has a participating cash back rewards program, the credit card issuer simply shares some of the merchant fees with the consumer

And some is paid by interest being paid by other customers

http://www.bos.frb.org/economic/ppdp/2010/ppdp1003.pdf

> Because credit card spending and rewards are positively correlated with household income, the payment instrument transfer also induces a regressive transfer from low-income to high-income households in general. On average, and after accounting for rewards paid to households by banks, the lowest-income household ($20,000 or less annually) pays $21 and the highest-income household ($150,000 or more annually) receives $750 every year

I also have a vague memory that some cards from the same issuer (mostly American Express) charge the merchants more for the higher-level cards, and prevent the merchant from treating those customers any differently. I can't find a source for that, but some starting points might be https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/supreme-cour... and https://about.americanexpress.com/press-release/american-exp...
Literally all of these could occur more cheaply without deorbiting the spacecraft.
This makes it not just unnatural but an injustice.

The sleepy suburb gets the commercial revenue from having a major tech firm, and then most of the workers leave and the residentialists get to keep the revenue for their city services.

The service workers who had to drive until they qualified, they go home to more far-flung suburbs with financial problems and poor services. This is segregation by deliberate policy.

But it’s starting to fall apart. When there were still nearby orchards to pave to put up parking lots, the new homes were cheaper than they are today, and the rich suburb could still hire workers to provide the services. Now that there’s not enough room for both new single-family homes and parking lots, and they are refusing to allow sufficient multi-family housing, the housing supply is not keeping up with demand and the service workers are increasingly refusing to take the jobs. This is manifesting as chronic short-handedness in the schools, in the police and fire departments, in the transit agencies. By greedily holding onto commercial revenues, these suburbs are destroying their own ability to provide services.
Let's say you do sense and label the entire world (which in itself is an impossible problem). Do you think every single action that a driver takes on the road can be hardcoded?

What happens when a street is temporarily closed but doesn't have the correct signage? What if there's a police office or road worker signalling instructions by waving his hands? What if the lights at an intersection stop working? What happens if there's a car burning on the side of the highway and drivers need to change lanes to go around it?

And these are just some of the problems in a large American city. Think about rural areas, places with more aggressive traffic, places with wildly different written and unwritten traffic rules.
I am inclined to think that 99% of the time people blame a tool for being slow, there are very, very basic issues in how they use it. And often people are just not motivated to solve those issues if they don't like the tool anyway.

I was handed a T-SQL script once, that produced a report on a few thousand items in a document management system. I was asked to use it to get statistics on a few hundred databases with millions of documents each. Which would have taken a few centuries at the speed that it ran. So I looked at it and realized the core was a procedural loop, which ran a separate SQL query for every row of output. Once the procedural part was replaced with one SQL query, it ran thousands of times faster and then all that remained was to replicate it to a bunch of databases and build the report in parts.

My rule of thumb is that if anything is too slow these days, it's because something is terribly misconfigured or something is severely wrong with the algorithm.
They already ran plenty of tests in a controlled environment:

You guys it's OK for some guy to make ugly games, and for other people you don't know to buy them, right?

Space isn't like a highway where you can move from A to B at minimal expense. Switching orbits, both orbit heights but mainly orbit inclinations, comes at a very high delta-V expense and therefore propellant expense, which this craft simply doesn't have the volume to hold.

This cannot shuttle between LEO stations and switch orbits to imitate multiple observation sats unless those sats and stations are very close in terms of orbits.
I've been working from home for about 10 years. The only thing that's ever been a problem is maintaining a healthy work-life balance. It took years to realize and resolve all of the various underlying issues before I started feeling comfortable without being complacent with things.

My advice for people new to remote work: reserve an hour each morning for exercise, start reading fiction, try out the keto diet, avoid alcohol as much as possible, try to limit your caffeine intake, open your windows to prevent co2 buildup, keep eye drops within reach for long hauls, try to get all of your chores done in the morning.
Now this seems disrespectful.

Ok, but Celeste isn't free except the prototype game jam version. I've spent well over $50 buying copies of Celeste for friends and family as gifts.
In other news, I still cannot disable Windows update on the home edition. I've spent hours and hours and virtually every solution I can find other than giving MS more money to upgrade.

Updates keep failing on my machine, which means it just tried again the next day and forces a restart, closing everything I have. Fails day after day after day. I'm not sure why, I frankly don't care. Just ridiculous how impossible it is to disable.
It's only because of time. If this were done on a newer platform/game or a game not as beloved, it would be closer to what you said.
I'm interested in building up math intuition too. I'm engaging with math very slowly and just as a hobby, but part of what got me interested was encountering resources that are unreasonably effective at building intuition.

A common theme I have noticed is whatever it is, getting a geometric understanding of it aids intuition significantly. Others have mentioned the 3Blue1Brown videos. They are an excellent example of this.

These HN threads always bear out great resources and I've made note of (and acquired) a few of these, so I'll list them here.

> What's wrong with just being a full-year ahead?

Nothing. That's why I called it out as an exception to my overall suggestion that G&T might not be useful.

Sure! I find it a really fascinating perspective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_purpose_of_a_system_is_wha...
Government can apply prop 13 style 'minimum payments' along with the deferred payment. Or make people do reverse mortgages and make the market sort it out.

Usually although, you have provide some sort of incentive to people adopt something, and no taxes vs some small amount taxes is attractive to a voting block. And democracy is getting enough voting blocks to get you over the pass rate.

Also since government works over large numbers and is very long term, they can do actuarial calculations to see when revenue would kick in and issue fairly reliable bonds based on it.
people who haven't played kerbal space program (with mechjeb for data) usually don't fully understand how expensive, in terms of delta V, a large inclination change maneuver is.
Companies may or may not have agreements in place with local governments, and those agreements may or may not include provisions for compensation, data sharing etc. However, just saying "you used public roads so you have to make your data public" makes no sense.
Related question, anyone know any good resources for learning and developing intuition in Abstract Algebra? Especially ones that explain it well, like Calculus Made Easy did for Calculus. AA is a prereq for cryptography, category theory and and other areas of interest for CompSci.

I asked this a few weeks ago but at an off peak time and not many folks saw the question. But I know HN probably has good recommendations so trying again here. Should still be relevant and helpful to OP.

The dumbest windows feature? When you accidentally touch the top of a window to top of screen, it maximizes. On Mac it's sort of the opposite: you can't relocate a window to another screen if it's maximizes. It "helps" you by force partitioning the screen.
> For example, "class" is just syntactical sugar

This was true up until we got #private vars in JavaScript. Now classes have their own very special rules very separate from prototype inheritance, to make this language even more confusing.

> Not sure the economics here are this simple?

The economics are pretty simple; electricity is about as pure a commodity as it is possible to get. The timeframes this plays out in are the 1-10 year windows where people make big long-term capital decisions.

> It seems like, if this distinction was meaningful, renewable operators would be turning off generation capacity when prices dropped this low.

In the short term people ignore market signals for all sorts of good reasons. I can ignore market signals all day if I want to. If they ignore a signal all year they will start to go bankrupt.

But the fact that renewable are ignoring a market signal is not a positive benefit to cite when talking about "energy industry FUD". When market signals get ignored; consumers pay more. This has played out in Germany, and it is playing out in Australia. $0 wholesale prices mean high retail prices over the year.

> Ignoring storage tech, it's also a signal that demand is too inflexible to redistribute power consumption (that is, an opportunity...).

Massive opportunity. If prices are $0; nobody is seizing the opportunity. It is waste. If someone were making use of this they would be being charged a low but positive number.
If you go up to a bunch of people doing a craft and you show yourself displaying extremely poor technique and care for the craft itself, those craftsmen will disrespect you, and they will be right. As an indie developer it's kind of tiring to hear all these developers constantly praising mediocrity and showing no will to improve their craftsmanship as long as they're able to make a living. You can also make a living and be extremely skilled and care about constantly improving, it's not an either/or situation.
Do a search for "reset windows update".

There are a few scripts around which will clear all the cache files and allow you to attempt the update from scratch.
An overview of how to set that up would make an interesting read. Also interested in any resources
Just plain old MTBF says there will be (some) early failures. Nobody's perfect, and outlier conditions, like really high temps or humidity, high salt, etc, exist in some buyer environments. And, as you mention, special circumstances like crashes, fires, theft/vandalism, and flooding.

I also don’t think the attack would involve changing orbits. The attack would be inserting electronic backdoor etc.
That one hasn't gone offline in years, so I've never thought of this. Perhaps you are right, but I assume that it should be easy enough to find new ones if you need them. I wouldn't consider this approach to be "high maintenance".
> Even in 1995 we were only really trying to delay the inevitable.

Do people do this? Are there really people out there that are resistant to believing that machines can or eventually will outperform humans in any discrete task? I can see a reasonable doubt about general intelligence, but other than that surely every mechanical advance since the plow paints a clear trajectory.

These kinds of articles always strike me as absurdist handwringing. I suspect that it's just fear mongering for views. Is anyone here[0] actually in doubt about machines performing better than humans? I mean despite all of recorded history.

[0]I mean you, the reader yourself. Not speculation of other people's doubt, because I'm not sure these people exist.

I had a '91 Saturn sedan until 2015. Despite my model being out of production for decades, and Saturn having closed up shop for years, I could still find aftermarket auto parts.

> breaks record of orbital spaceflight

It broke it's own record of "time-in-orbit" and as far as spaceflight records go this is one of the least relevant. Once a spacecraft gets to orbit it is very easy to stay there almost indefinitely.

Hell, the ISS breaks the record for "continuous habitation in orbit" every day.
Credit card issuers don't pay for the cash back, it's the merchant. The merchant's are charged a credit card transaction fee that includes a fixed/percent fee determined by the negotiated contract with their bank (the acquirer), a small fixed/percent interchange fee that goes to the credit card payment networks (Visa, MasterCard, etc.), and finally a fee to the credit card issuer that provided the credit card to the consumer.

The credit card issuer fees can be the worst because of these high reward credit cards.

I'm very aware of this when shopping at a local small business. I'll pay either in cash or with my debit card, because the credit card fees are seriously squeezing small merchants.

In the right light, this is a competitive advantage for Waymo. Prove that it's possible to have a ride hailing app that strictly follows municipal stopping/parking rules, and then encourage cities to start strictly enforcing those rules and ticketing offenders. Self-driving cars would presumably be better than humans at following those rules (at least, if we're imagining a world where self-driving cars work safely and consistently).
I say this in all seriousness, Linux is probably a better experience if that's all she does. Give something like Ubuntu or elementary os test run with a live version and see if she's missing anything you'll either find out she needs Office specifically or it will probably work for her. Linux right now is in a great spot for people who need little customization and people who really love to tinker. If you're in the middle of that group is where friction lives. If linux won't work for you then the suggestions above are great.
I have so far resisted mechjeb (and other mods). Should I give it a try?

I think Jeff is pretty invested in his craft in general, but it’s just that he focuses on making an ideal product with the resources and abilities he has available to him.
But they made a lot more Saturns than they did Tesla Roadsters. That's got a lot to do with the strength of the parts market.

BTW-- congrats on the Saturn! I had a '94 SC1, first car I ever bought brand new. Good car.
Seriously what is with people thinking the draft will somehow be a great unifer or that it is an appropriate propagator of values? Veterans were lynched for wearing their uniform. The Kennedys lost family in wars and yet JFK started the Vietnam war.

I think we should just accept that the hypocritical institution is dead after Vietnam and stop trying to use it for power fantasies over society or advocacy - its only function is to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as it makes reasonable ideas grossly unreasonable.

Civil forfeiture seems like no big deal, I dunno what the issue would be here.
I can't make sense of the sequence you've laid out but what do does capital cost have to do with daily (or even momentary) fluctuations in price?

> To opt-out from our anonymization of your personal information...

Uh, I'm no lawyer, but the wording really gets my attention here.
Citation? It seems pretty crazy to me that every merchant would have to pay the difference when a customer decides to use a 5% cash back card. They can't even know the full list of cards out in circulation, and I doubt their contract says "the fee is whatever portion of the card's cash back we can't pay for" or something like that. It could work for a closed subset of cards they know about and might want to negotate separately, but I don't see how it can work for every card out there.

It is rare for any indie developer to be making any kind of "a living" from making games. The fact that Jeff does already makes him exceptional.

As a gamer, I could care less about whatever rubbish being claimed about his "technique" and "craftsmanship". His games are entertaining, unique, and better than most indies in my eyes.
In the pedantic sense, Objective-C became popular because it was the NeXT language. But by the numbers, its massive popularity was due to the iOS app store gold rush, not NeXT STEP or MacOS or OS/X.

So far it’s been a few high profile cases, but obviously the problem runs deeper than that.

I think J&J got hit because they have deep pockets.
They do not pay the whole cash back, but they do pay more for "premium" cards (that they cannot refuse, also). See for instance this https://www.cfib-fcei.ca/sites/default/files/pdf/5513.pdf (in Canada, but the same thing applies to the US)
