Great points. I'm not sure how baybal2 arrived at their conclusion. To add to your list, newer cars have NHTSA/IIHS-advised brake assist and obstacle detection, more and better airbags, seat belt load limiters, better use of high-grade structural steel and adhesives in critical joints, and wider tires for better traction.

Most of the safety improvements are only very mildly correlated with the weight increases. Of course the safety features add weight, but comparable cars and compact SUVs have grown by at most 10-20% in weight over the past two decades. Most of the weight increase on the road is from pickup trucks (which don't satisfy many of these safety criteria and are bought mostly by people who don't care as much about safety) or people insisting on buying bigger vehicles.

In addition to orbital velocity (~1.7 km/s) and gravity losses (~0.2 km/s?) you should take into account all safety reserves - Eagle could hang a minute or more above the surface selecting the place to land. Given that we can't ignore safety, it's better to budget 2200-2500 m/s delta-V to get from the Moon orbit to the Moon surface.

We need both Lagrange point stations and surface bases. It's arguable what should go first; an argument for Lagrange station is that it's easier to build.

>their API is a little bit... bloated for simple needs

I used Stripe about 7 years ago. I used it because their APIs were simple and PayPal etc. was complex and bloated.

It seems that this cycle repeats throughout b2b startups. Is there now an opportunity to create yet another simple lightweight API but one that doesn't cover all use-cases?
FLOPs is probably not a very sensible measure for measuring hardware from 1985, nothing had FPUs back then.

Umm...the Intel 8087 was '80 or '81, and it was AFAIK the most popular PC upgrade after memory. The 68881 was '84. My NS32081s have '84 datecodes but came out earlier. The Am9511/C8231 were mid to late 70s and all over the 8-bitters. Weitek had 3rd party solutions for 68k, x86 and lots of others in this timeframe, and MMI was pitching the 74S516 for the 68k early 80s.

Almost everything had an FPU option in 1985.

The actual document is here. [1] US$56. Here's a useful summary.[2]

"If an installation is outdoors, then it is either classified as remote or near exposures. If an installation is remote, it needs to be 100 feet or more away from any exposures such as other buildings, walkways, or combustible materials. If the installation is not a remote installation, then it is considered to be near exposures. Other acceptable outdoor installations that have specific requirements are rooftops, open parking garages, and standalone walk-in units such as shipping containers."

"Three feet of clear space is required between every 50 KWh grouping of ESS, as well as between the 50 KWh groupings and the walls of the room."

"A sprinkler system is required to be installed ... with a 0.3 gallons-per-minute-per-square-foot density over a 2,500-square-foot design area ... One of the major concerns in extinguishing an ESS fire is cooling the energy storage system down below the auto ignition temperature of the flammable gasses the ESS may discharge in a thermal runaway event. Water is an effective extinguishing agent for most ESS fires including lithium-ion battery ESS, and that is what the committee settled on for a requirement."

So what they're requiring is that units be spaced out enough that one fire doesn't take out the whole installation, and the sprinklers can usually contain the fire to one unit. Tighter restrictions apply if there are "exposures", by which they mostly mean buildings with people in them.

Makes sense. There are similar spacing rules for above ground fuel storage tanks.

>What I'm afraid is that the new iPhone dark mode (or even the P30 Pro and other phones with post processing) will also process the images too much and stack them thus losing a lot of detail. When put on instagram or made smaller for Facebook/websites, you won't see the missing details, but the colors will be vibrant and that's "good enough" for most people.

BTW - one nitpick, stacking images will _improve_ image quality. Specifically - averaging images (after aligning them) taken sequentially is a common way to reduce noise artifacts. Photon noise follows a Poisson distribution and so if you take multiple images and average them you will generally get a cleaner image. The caveat being that you must be on a tripod and your subject must be still for those shots.. (ideally landscape kinda shots)
You're picking a rather particular example. Most people don't live within 15 miles of an Amazon distribution center. To pick my particular example for contrast, I'm also relatively close to an Amazon facility, but it's still over an hour away by car. And I imagine that, for most people who drive to get around, the nearest big box store is close to their route home from work.

There's also an unstated major premise that packages never come from any further away than the nearest Amazon distribution facility. I suspect that the truth is rather far from that. It at least isn't true for me - I kept an eye on my Prime orders from last year, and 1/3 - 1/2 of the things I ordered originated from a more distant Amazon warehouse, and getting it to me within 2 days involved burning a whole mess of jet fuel. I suspect that the GHG emissions from doing that end up being a massive portion of Amazon's overall pollution.

Usually a good incentive for devs is a higher cut of the sales. But I’m not sure how much Chinese users usually contribute to a dev’s revenue stream compared to US or EU users for example.

I remember reading a while ago that iOS is an attractive OS to target because the users tend to spend more in apps than the average Android users. If the average Chinese users spend even less it may be a disincentive. Not sure if this is still the case.
This is a super weird way to think about it.

"subsidy" and "externalized cost" aren't mutually exclusive concepts (as you hint at in "...because subsidies aren't just externalized costs" [emphasis mine]), so your semantic argument rests on shaky foundations. an externalized cost can be considered a subsidy in many contexts, including legal/political ones.

like most words, "subsidy" may have a more specific meaning in a particular context, but understood differently in a general context. so taking a stance that one definition is better than another is relatively futile (in the sense that it convinces no one who's not already sympathetic).

so rather than relying on semantics, make the argument you're really trying to make, which, by context, seems to be that you don't think externalized costs should be used in the comparison.

I think this is definitely a problem with a lot of functional code styles so when working functionally myself I try to be quite verbose and explicit within functions, spacing things out in recognizable patterns and using lets to capture intermediate computation steps.

I love side-effectless code, but I hate the assumption that side-effectless code is maximally perfect when on a single line - don't use variables for variable usages, use labeled pre-computations to clarify what you're actually doing to try and maintain readable self-documenting code.

(all that said, the example above is... sort of a weirdly terrible one like most string manipulation tasks are, string manipulation usually has a high ratio of computation to significant design decision making)

"If you only look at these, and compare fossil fuels to renewables, you’ll come away thinking that fossil fuels are far cheaper than they actually are."

In the case of this discussion, you're looking at it backwards. The subject of fossil fuel subsidies was brought up in comparison to subsidies for renewables which in this case were already defined as specific government programs. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be being such a stickler. However given that we are comparing renewables to fossil fuels we need to be sure that we are measuring the same thing and to include externalities when measuring fossil fuels and not when measuring renewables is to be not measuring the same thing. (I actually got confused when I first saw the IMF link so I know my concern isn't hypothetical.)

Yes, I get that the case can be made that cost of using fossil fuels is more that the sum of direct gifts by the government to fossil fuel companies (fucking duh!) but that can be expressed without implying that governments gave $5.2T in tax dollars directly to fossil fuel companies in 2017. Where confusion is possible, it's best to make distinctions and clarify what is meant.

Adobe Experience Manager can be mentioned as an inferior product tech stack wise, but strong marketing including targeting the C level with PowerPoint presentations let’s it win customers.

This is also Adobe’s selling proposition (marketing cloud) and they have a point here, however weak, since for example Adobe Target is some very basic “if then” rule system. But it might impresses C level noobs. ;)

Possibly related tidbit - I used to roll my own cigarettes when working in the field as a geologist, left a pack of papers under the seat of my truck which had no carpeting, spilled 100% DEET on the floor, DEET absorbed into pack of papers. Months later found those same papers (what luck!) and rolled a cigarette without thinking about it, minutes later I was asking my now wife if she "could hear the helicopter sounds!!?" and thought I was losing my mind.
I put it all together weeks later when I remembered the DEET spill from several months earlier. Pesticides/insecticides, in my experience at least, can induce those symptoms, lol - maybe the mosquito spraying was a little heavy by the hotel? And now I hope I don't have brain damage, thanks internet.
> You don't need a legion of smart lawyers to hire from this large, unemployed, qualified, bonafide American talent pool

true, but I think the point is that the lawyer fees are less than the extra costs and risks associated with hiring from the existing pool of local US workers (i.e. losses from employees who freely leave the company after a short period, transfer knowledge to competitors, shop around for higher salaries, and confidently exercise the fuller collection of employee rights which H1Bs may lack)

> If you really know someone in tech that is unemployed and making nothing, then either they are not qualified or they have some other limitation making them unemployable.

That's certainly one interpretation of the matter. Here's another: If the labor pool lacked exogenous labor inputs, it is possible (though far from guaranteed) that corporations would be willing to use their resources to hire more from the existing pool of US candidates and then train them and/or help them to overcome other limitations.
I used to be an engineer at a startup that Groupon was acquiring. One day we were at their Chicago HQ being interviewed by their leadership team. I was waiting outside the conference room, feeling super nervous, when this really tall guy with messy hair just sort of saunters over. He looked pretty aimless and carefree. It turned out to be Mason, and he came over to talk to me. I was super nervous, as he towered above me. But he turned out to be so nice, and had a very calming effect. He knew about our company and even knew who I was, I was so surprised. Since then, I've always wished the best for Andrew, as I really believe his heart is in the right place, and he wants to build great things. Glad to see he has a new project cooking up.

I don't think you should judge it based on the syntax. With UFCS (Uniform Function Call Syntax), or a pipeline operator, it could easily be rewritten to something like:

xs.map(\x -> (div (n - length x) 2).replicate(' ') ++ x)

This is just pseudocode obviously, but you get the point I hope. There is nothing fundamental to FP about this particular syntax.

Also to be honest, I don't find the original unreadable at all. But that may be because I have more exposure to this style of programming? FP doesn't somehow remove the inherent complexity in tasks like string manipulation.

The previous discussion on HN highlighted Mens rea with regards to establishing intent, i.e. they didn't have criminal intent (they went in with the understanding that they had full rights and privileges to be there) and would probably (hopefully) be vindicated in a court of law.

IANAL but I've been tracking this pretty closely since I'm also a pentester; everything seems to reasonably indicate that the two guys should be released, but someone else is likely ending up in a court over this.
