Yes because things like European weathers satellites serve the public interesting and vital infrastructure needs (GPS, for example). Those have higher priority over a private corporation's satellites.

> If it's the europeans had a lesser tolerance for close passes, why should SpaceX move?

Did you read my first comment? I said that of course SpaceX would have a lower collision tolerance because there satellite is much cheaper/less investment of resources compared to the EU satellite.

Even if SpaceX's satellite was also expensive and SpaceX still had good data, we should prioritize the needs of public institutions that are launching satellites that serve the world over private corporations.
Key-value stores satisfy a set of use-cases, as do NoSQL, and SQL.

Key-value is great when you have a key-value pair that you'd like to cache. Specifically in web workloads, maybe you'd like to cache the API response (value) to a certain API query (key) such that its returned without processing power from your backend. Or maybe user permissions per action, where they don't really change as they're reliant on the user's role.

I'm not entirely sure what a valid use-case would be for an embedded device, but if there's any kind of SQL query you would make on an embedded device that returns a response that hardly changes, you might also spin up some kind of key-value store such that it's returned without (well, faster than) SQL query time.

It probably doesn't make sense to completely replace a SQL database if you're trying to represent relational data.
Don't do allocations in the call until the API becomes annoying and unpleasant to use. Also weighted upon the domain and performance implications of the particular API

By nature of being a buffer means it can probably be used in subsequent calls. You dont need to read everything all in one go
Most of the important points have already been raised by others (version control, CI/CD, etc.).

I would only like to recommend one specific tool, which you can integrate into your CI/CD pipeline: SonarCloud (https://sonarcloud.io/about)

The on-prem version is called SonarQube (https://www.sonarqube.org/) which you can easily host yourself if you need/want to, but the cloud version is dirt cheap.

This single tool can bring tremendous value into your work life, especially if you have a team full of junior/inexperienced people. It has saved me countless hours on different projects by providing actionable insights on their code bases.

Disclaimer: I have no ties to the company making SonarQube, I am just really thankful that this tool exists. :)
It's pretty common to have a fee for a loan that's paid upfront like an arrangement fee.

But you're probably right in this case - Stripe likely include their fee in the monthly payments - updated the sheet.

Look at that! And then look at contemporary hiring. A phone screen, a video interview, an on-site, another on-site, a take-home exam, psychometric testing, dowsing, crystal pendulum, and it still doesn't work better than casting lots.

For those interested in this topic, Horizon Kinetics' 2016 presentation "Indexation: Capitalist Tool" is a fascinating read, as it points out some baffling structural mismatches between indexes and their underlying securities beyond just liquidity (which was the main focus of Burry's analysis).

Edit Some highlights:

> Does an asset allocation program or roboadvisor tool seeking foreign market exposure know that 6 of the top 10 holdings of the iShares MSCI Spain Index get 70% or more of their revenues from outside of Spain? That a purchase of the ETF is, essentially, investing outside Spain? The same holds true for emerging markets ETFs.

> the business demand of ETF organizers for liquid stocks has only increased, with the influx of funds directed into the same limited population of liquid stocks. ExxonMobil is one of the most liquid. Ergo, it will be found almost anywhere one can imagine that it can be placed. It’s Growth, It’s Value, Its’ a Bird, It’s a Plane...

> Would an active manager of a low-risk strategy be permitted the risk of a near-50% weighting in financials? ... These largest-in-class ETFs can legitimately be characterized as low volatility, since of late the financial sector has not been volatile. And the high weighting enables the ETF to attain its advertised low Beta.

Liquidity can be a very serious problem for open ended funds and they have to keep cash on had to meet redemptions unlike closed ended funds like investment trusts.
I have two questions for you, so I figured I piggy back off this comment.

* What does the entry level look like? This appears to be a decent way to launch a hobby into a business, but what is the income you're looking for? Does my app need to gross 1k/mo before it's an option?

* What are the term limits? Or what if the app is shutdown, or underperforms?

This appears to be a good way for people to launch hobby projects into full businesses, I was just wondering if that was indeed the case.

Nobody commercially perhaps, but I've been fathoming it for a while. I kept wondering when we would see a RAID controller with enough juice to run PostgreSQL directly. With a key-value store in existence maybe some more people will be looking into such things.

Sun Microsystems' motto was "the network is the computer" but over the last fifteen or more years there's been a steady trend in the opposite direction.

The computer is a network. I sometimes wish this would be embraced more thoroughly, not just in the way you mention, of offloading work to specialized processing units, but of building a network fabric inside the box. It's one of the things we never copied down from classical mainframe design.
Meta: I read articles like this, and some of the 5+ paragraph comments on this site, and it makes a ton of sense to me why people are downright afraid of the work required to learn how the economy works at a low level. It's crazy how often probabilities are presented as fact.

My mother-in-law works for the state doing financial investing, and I've seen some of the functions and constant values she's had to memorize to get her degrees. Constants that are based on models that are often decades old. It's all ultimately a form of forecasting based on models, but it's treated as gospel of how it will all occur.

Perhaps that's why it works at all - everyone's using the same models, and they behave in a set pattern (established by schooling and "how it's always been done") based off those models, which makes the models accurate.

As said by Patrick in a different comment, it really depends on how your sales are going therefore comparing it to a traditional loan with a fixed p.a. regardless of your sales doesn't make a lot of sense.

I didn't read the exact terms, but based on the landing page it seems like your downside is capped, which is a big thing. I.e. if you suddenly stop making sales, you don't repay them . (not sure if there's a clause that makes you repay if you never make sales for a couple of years after taking out the loan)

Part of the problem is any universal program gets attacked for helping people who don't 'need' the help and that being a waste of money. And on a certain face it's true, cutting some people out of a program will make the top line number cheaper but will also require administration and get into fights about just who needs what.

It's one reason so many new social safety net programs are being suggested as variants of Universal X now, they're much less likely to get cut because everyone gets it and it's harder to do the whole 'welfare queen' style racial coding if the program goes to everyone.

I think crossfilter is a huge success and amazing project, in spite of its small size. Why? The code hasn't been updated in 4 years and it still works.

You don't have to be constantly tweaking and tweaking everything all the time. Crossfilter is like the I-Beam of construction.

I wish we could do this with more computer science parts. Building something amazing and leave it alone. Move forward. Stop spending all our time inventing and learning new libraries, frameworks, architectures all the time and get stuff done!

If you look at the first chart in that article, bank teller employment peaked at a bit over 600,000. If you follow the link to the BLS projections given near the end of the article[1], you'll see that bank teller jobs in 2018 are down to 472,000 and expected to decline by another 58,000 over the next decade. Bank teller jobs per capita is declining more rapidly, since population is still growing.

I believe a partial match would only be useful if the partial match mapped to a unique record. My point was that the data points that seem to be the most unique to my computer seem to also be the easiest to change.

If I get a fingerprint that contains some super unique font and is requesting the site in Mongolian then yeah, that can probably be mapped to a single record.

If I get a fingerprint in which the only data points that match anything in my database are that the user is on a Mac using Chrome 76 and has cookies and local storage enabled, I don't see how that can be used to track a user.

My point was that the data points that seem most unique to a user also seem like the ones that change the most frequently. If you're only changing one at a time like they would during normal use, then yeah, it's probably still trackable, but if you wrote something to change all of them on every page load, I don't see how you would be able to connect one partial match to another.

QUIC/Http3 could be another software example of this.

There is too much cruft in the TCP/IP + HTTP stacks, so the solution is to implement a new protocol on top of the lowest abstraction that can be practically used (IP+UDP) in user space; at least until kernels implement it.

I will delegate judging if this is a good idea to more knowledgeable parties though.

how exactly does the bassinet facilitate breastfeeding, and how were they feeding before?

> Liquidity premium isn't relevant here. The concept of the liquidity premium explains the differences in prices of otherwise identical securities as a function of their liquidity. What you're thinking of is called slippage, the difference between your target price and realized price for a trade.

Those are the same thing. An illiquid asset cannot be liquidated without slippage - that's why there's a liquidity premium.

> When running an ETF arbitrage strategy, your concern is not explaining the price of the relevant securities. However, you do care whether you can enter and exit positions profitably. Slippage models are highly nontrivial.

Again...slippage is the thing caused by a lack of liquidity.

Almost all modern crypto libraries avoid allocation. NaCl (https://nacl.cr.yp.to/), TweetNaCl (https://tweetnacl.cr.yp.to/), Libsodium (https://libsodium.org) (except for Argon2), Monocypher (https://monocypher.org) (even for argon 2, though users will never allocate hundreds of megabytes on the stack)…

From a systems point of view, the fact that modern crypto doesn't require heap allocations makes it one of the easiest domains to work with. (The maths are exacting, but the good APIs are a joy to use).
While that's accurate, it looks like the classification markers were blacked out post picture. That's important because it indicates that they didn't go and declassify the picture on the original system to share it.

So the picture was taken, the classification markers were blacked out, and then POTUS tweeted it. We don't know the classification of the device which took the photo, the classification of the system on which the markers were blacked out, or when the decision was made to declassify the image.

I have taken over a small business (expect to do ~$1.2-1.5m revenue this yr). Getting any sort of credit as a backstop is really really hard. Especially when you need it. This doesn't seem too different in terms of biz model and fees to something like Fundbox (which hooks into your Quickbooks account).

Ask HN: Is data science and ML a bubble / scam
before you tell me about chat bots, voice traslations, machine vision and reinforcement learning. I would like to clarify , i am not an expert in ML or AI i have no production code with AI or ML. My question is how does ML/data science fit in as a normal part of SDLC.

i would imagine the test scope is essentially infinite since we handle probabilistic states instead of deterministic states. And how would you identify a bug and reproduce it or an even more significant problem of how would you even identify the scope of values which are not allowed in a NxN dimensional vector matrix, and as i understand it the tolerance of error is marginal in customer facing applications as recomendation systems, voice translation, etc even a 95% accuracy is good enough to ship but how about medical applications and self driving where something like 3~4 sigma is needed.

i dont subscribe to the adversarial argument that the solution to a black box is another black box or that we achived 3 sigma because the adversary we designed says so. How many business's are aware of the fact that ML/AI SDLC has these fundamental difference's from reqular old web,system and embeded SDLC and the supposed ROI from being a replacement to manual work can be lost by just a few false positives in a business setting.

TLDR
what is the SDLC to handle state explosion in ML / AI systems design . I dont see many compeling arguments as of yet.

> LIGO does not record jiggling test masses. It records electrical signals that can be generated by jiggling test masses, and also by other means.

No, it records interference patterns at a detector which are produced by jiggling of the test masses. There are no other means of producing those interference patterns--certainly not by low frequency EM radiation happening to pass through the apparatus, which was what the post I was responding to was talking about.

The question is what makes the test masses jiggle. A gravitational wave is one possibility, but certainly not the only one. Seismic disturbances, a truck driving by the facility, someone banging on the wall of the vacuum chamber, etc.

The electrical signals you are talking about come from the interference detector. It is possible that there could be electrical noise elsewhere in the circuit, but that's something the experimenters already allow for and take great precautions to minimize, just as the test masses are isolated to minimize any source of jiggling of them other than gravitational waves.
