For what it's worth, we would have loved to sell The Public Radio for $25 and tried for many years at $40/45. I think that our experience is a testament to the idea that at least sometimes, it's okay to raise your prices above what you personally would be willing to pay. But yes, it's a very expensive member of its category (battery powered FM radios) even without the UI limitations.

Pretty obviously because the role of the state isn't to reduce harm to the exclusion of everything else. It has multiple goals which it imperfectly pursues. Just like any human institution or individual.
What about the two channel system that is so common on youtube? One for major productions, the other for faster-release-but-narrow-appeal videos like behind the scenes or development progress? That way super fans can follow the bonus channel without having to go through your website to find videos.
What it got to do with drones? assuming the report is correct which I doubt, a lot of civilians got killed in wars even before drones got into the arena. If anything, overall drones helps a lot with verifying viable targets compared to times when commanders didn't have those eyes in the sky.

Prod needs n + 2 if you want to survive losing one (machine, datacenter, whatever) while you have one out for maintenance. Buying three when you need one is pretty expensive; buying seven when you need five isn't as big a deal.

Staging just needs n > 1 to test that sharding works at all.
Not only does your logic bending (to for some reason avoid the basis of wartime morality?) fail in its own premise as the Taliban is not allowed to meet your standard as they are not a sovereign nation able to be a signatory, the convention itself does not work as you imply:

These aren't arbitrary judgment calls. There are laws.

And sure, the existence of those laws might be arbitrary. But the laws themselves are specific.
I'm not sure that I understand your argument. War consisted of making life or death decisions based on insufficient information both before and after the Geneva conventions.
Luckily we still live in organized societies where destructive behaviour eventually gets shunned, and there is a (survival) incentive for everyone to foot the bill.

I think they might be suggesting that Scott may have specific exemption from Apple's PR policy (summary: "say nothing to anyone") to be allowed an independent public voice - particularly on a technical/engineering topic. Apple is not, so far as we know, currently developing orbital-class rocketry, but there's genuine potential for product topic overlap in Project Titan vs Tesla and perhaps more besides.

I would not be at all surprised if there's a List Of Things Apple PR Hereby Politely Requests That Scott Doesn't Mention.

When I was at AWS I was similarly forbidden from mentioning anything to do with video games to just about anybody, despite not having anything to do with video games myself, and many other topics besides the obvious (e.g. "don't disclose EC2/S3 capacity numbers"[1], "don't reveal how Glacier works"[2]), and in fact there was a whole programme of PR training and tiered permission to speak at conferences or to the press/analysts that boiled down, mostly, to knowing what you could and couldn't say, and how diplomatically you parried questions on the latter.

Either that or Terry Pratchett's law of rewritten rules applies.

I am actually thinking of something similar. Instead of 12v DC I probably would go for 48v or maybe even higher. With 12v your cables soon start to become too thick to be practical if you want to run serious things like garage doors / window shades etc.

Crystal is dead, exactly how can you expect to have a language that compete with Go with only 2 full time devs?
You should try selling it to the DPRK, except tuned to a different frequency.
From everything I've read, by people versed in compilers, the implementation is pretty basic too (regarding optimizations, shortcuts, compiler design, etc).

In fact, the Go core team themselves have said time and again that they preferred simple implementations and implementation convenience over more powerful but complex ones...

Why not? Someone smashes a window, crawls through it, walks around to unlock the main door, through which the burglars unload your stuff. It’s a lot harder to move things through windows.
I feel people gave Golang attention because it was a good language. It also has the best standard library I’ve ever seen.

Are you talking about the monetization model, or is something broken with opening salvage packs?

I assume the former. The goal was always for Bot Land to be free-to-play, and there were many different approaches to monetization discussed throughout development. In the end, I settled on the one you see in-game now, but the tenets were always the same: https://share.bot.land/monetization.html

For reference, salvage packs are the single monetization point of Bot Land. I'm not planning to include advertisements, and I don't want to do subscriptions or anything. Salvage packs contain only cosmetic items, and the rarities are included up-front (which I would have done even if certain platforms like Apple didn't require that).

You can play for free and obtain every item in the game. The game took not only a substantial amount of time to develop (4 years), but also a huge chunk of my savings that I'd built up from my past jobs. I do need some way to make money, and I don't think people would give a game like Bot Land a shot if it weren't free.
Doesn't change the fact that it can be called "basic" for that...
ieddit sounds quite close to idiot. You might want to change that (unless it was intended)

Then what would you call the 9,000 or so civilians killed by US and allied forces in the past 10 years. Or the 30,000 injured civilians?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet%E2%80%93Afghan_War#Muja...

> The mujahideen favoured sabotage operations. The more common types of sabotage included damaging power lines, knocking out pipelines and radio stations, blowing up government office buildings, air terminals, hotels, cinemas, and so on. In the border region with Pakistan, the mujahideen would often launch 800 rockets per day. Between April 1985 and January 1987, they carried out over 23,500 shelling attacks on government targets. The mujahideen surveyed firing positions that they normally located near villages within the range of Soviet artillery posts, putting the villagers in danger of death from Soviet retaliation. The mujahideen used land mines heavily. Often, they would enlist the services of the local inhabitants, even children.
Mujahideen praying in Shultan Valley, 1987

> They concentrated on both civilian and military targets, knocking out bridges, closing major roads, attacking convoys, disrupting the electric power system and industrial production, and attacking police stations and Soviet military installations and air bases. They assassinated government officials and PDPA members, and laid siege to small rural outposts. In March 1982, a bomb exploded at the Ministry of Education, damaging several buildings. In the same month, a widespread power failure darkened Kabul when a pylon on the transmission line from the Naghlu power station was blown up. In June 1982 a column of about 1,000 young communist party members sent out to work in the Panjshir valley were ambushed within 30 km of Kabul, with heavy loss of life. On September 4, 1985, insurgents shot down a domestic Bakhtar Airlines plane as it took off from Kandahar airport, killing all 52 people aboard.

> Mujahideen groups used for assassination had three to five men in each. After they received their mission to kill certain government officials, they busied themselves with studying his pattern of life and its details and then selecting the method of fulfilling their established mission. They practiced shooting at automobiles, shooting out of automobiles, laying mines in government accommodation or houses, using poison, and rigging explosive charges in transport.

In May 1985, the seven principal rebel organizations formed the Seven Party Mujahideen Alliance to coordinate their military operations against the Soviet army. Late in 1985, the groups were active in and around Kabul, unleashing rocket attacks and conducting operations against the communist government.
I hope that you live below your current means.
They signed an attestation, that is essentially using your authority to say something is yours. I would consider my ability to consent as something that belongs to me. This change indeed allows people to access my data (in this case, saying I have something I don't, and using my authority without permission).

If they automatically joined my keybase user to my hackernews profile without my consent, it would be just as egregious.

It's only less secure if there's something easy to break close enough to the door that a person could break it, reach through, and unlock the door. That's only really relevant if there are no windows anywhere else at ground level that a burglar could easily break and climb through.

Interestingly, the door locks commonly used in the US are much less secure in general than those typically seen in Europe. The average US household deadbolt can be opened with fast lockpicking techniques (raking, zipping) while European ones usually can't. That may be a surprise given the relatively high crime rate of the US.

One crime that isn't as high in the US as most European countries, however is burglary of an occupied residence. It seems the increased risk to the burglar's life may have some deterrent effect.
So for one, WNYC is actually one of our biggest customers to date. You'll hear our radios being plugged on Brian Lehrer (among others) periodically if you listen closely. Again, our philosophy is that customers are deciding on the station (not parent organization - the actual broadcasting station) they want to listen to every day and staying there.

For two, we definitely tried that early on! And we've had a lot of conversations about replacing the potentiomenter (which controls power and volume) with a rotary encoder (which, if you added a push button to it, could be used to control a lot of other interactions with the radio, including seek/scan, etc). The issue is that doing so would easily raise our cost by $5, which means we need to raise our retail pricing by $15 or $20, which ends up being crazy.

I've said this elsewhere in this thread, but The Public Radio totally isn't for everyone! But a surprising number of people like it just the way it is, and we've worked hard to build a business to support their needs as efficiently as possible.
Depends how you define "design". Most engineers I know are not involved in the bog-standard design, but rather when the decisions get outside the comfort zone of the designers (either engineers or engineering techs themselves). From all accounts ("Switching to stainless steel is one of the best design decisions I've ever made"[1], comments from Tom Mueller about Elon leading the design team on Raptor[2]), Musk is performing the role of a head engineer.

Many jurisdictions would still have an issue with him using the title engineer. (edit: it's recently been determined to infringe on first amendment rights [3]. Still applies in Canada)

I think you ascribe too much malice to the press here. Drone is what the public understand them to be called. I fly a drone and that's the term used by everyone who raises the topic with me. I don't know that they led by the press, though it'd obviously be a feedback loop.
That probably could have worked, although I don't think I was the best at advertising things. :( As a streamer, I felt like one of the most difficult things to do was to alert people about news/changes for basically anything (my vacation schedule, a bug, the current task I was working on, etc.).

Now that the game has launched and my streaming schedule is up in the air, I don't know if I'll be changing anything with the YouTube channel. It's been around for so long now, and I don't think many people want to watch the past VODs anyway beyond skimming to see what's changed in that amount of time.
The point is that if keybase can sign the attestation on your behalf, they can further more sign other things on your behalf claiming it's you hence the reason he calls it a backdoor.
Yes, there are certainly people like that. But I'm referring to people with different moral value who really are wouldn't have problem. Its not that rare isn't it?

Its different, because everyone can get sick. The more accurate analogy is someone offering to work as nurse because they are not afraid of blood.
FH got delayed because they kept improving the F9, so they didn't need the FH for many of the original target payloads. Some of the delay was due to technical issues, but changes to the F9 were significant over that time period. Starship has no dependencies on the Falcon stack.

keybase uses private/pub key.
if keybase can use your private key to sign on your behalf, then maybe they can use that same private key to read private documents, transfer money, etc. no one but the user should ever have or know about the private key.
> Seems to me that every time this subject comes up, an arbitrary list of things are considered protected by whoever is making that point.

It might feel that way to you, but it seems you haven't bothered to look into the history of why certain classes are protected against discrimination in housing, employment, medical treatment etc.

One of those reasons is to fight the tendency for discrimination to create second-class citizens[1]. Along with our society's past and its contemporary history, we also have a several millennia of written history to look back upon to see just how easily and willing we are to make life very bad for people who are discriminated against.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-class_citizen
We have excess energy all the time. Many power plants have fixed, unpredictable (e.g. solar/wind), or slow-changing output. When demand is low, these plants often are often producing excess power.

An even more egregious example is gas flaring. The extraction rate is not totally controllable, so there can be more pressure than the plant can handle. Currently, most plants just burn this gas without generating anything, because it would be prohibitively costly (compared to the return) to transport that electricity.
Hasn't the past 20 years shown that anonymous posts and comments are a perfect breeding ground for trolls?
It's not. Same in Australia, I've never seen a house here you need a key to get out of.
> “It’s not cost efficient” isn’t a valid reason to discriminate against people, if you ask me.

It's literally the perfect reason to do discrimination. It is just like discriminating for having work experience, education, demonstrably market skills, etc.

How to write email, a self-documenting guide
--------------------------------------------

* Write to the correct person. If you don't know who you
are addressing, go do more research.

* Don't waste their time. That means be polite, get
directly to your point, and ask for precisely what
you want from them.

* Make it clear what they can gain from you. Sometimes
that's just the pleasant feeling of helping a fellow
human out.

* Your From: address must work and be correct. The natural
reply to an email is another email. If you don't read
the replies, why are you bothering to send this?

All of the above are applications of one principle:

Treat people with respect.

At every point, you should ask yourself if what you are
doing conveys respect for the person you are communicating
with, or whether you are trying any means you think might
be effective to gain their attention. Respect does not
mean being effusive or obsequious; it means awareness of
the limited time they have to conduct business.

Once you've made your point, stop.
I'd say it's absolutely vital to have the responsibility in the hands of do have problems with "pushing the kill button", and then provide them with psychological support services to handle that duty.

Giving people with no qualms or moral struggles with taking human life the tools to do so on a massive scale is an absolutely terrifying idea.
Before reading the article, I assumed it was about hobbyist drone pilots and how we might judge situations from a detached perspective. I suspect the detachment changes the way I view risk in subtle ways when flying.

My vague recollection is that I had to agree before Keybase would add a Stellar key to my account. Now it's certainly possible that they've changed things since then to do it automatically, but if so, you should be able to find the code for it as all of the apps are open source: https://github.com/keybase/client

Are you sure you didn't just accidentally agree to it without realizing it?
The driver's door of most German cars behaves that way too, or used to. For Americans used to opening the door, pressing the lock, then closing the door, this can give the impression the lock is broken.
I see very little marketing for Go. Compare, for example, to C# when in came out, or Java when it did.
I doubt that you could do that on Facebook. But on LinkedIn, you could obviously target people who claim experience in software engineering.

As you say, that might well effectively select for younger men. And as far as I know, that wouldn't be illegal. But you can't target by age, gender or disability. Because it's explicitly illegal.
Show HN: Aristotl – an intuitive logical fallacy lookup tool
Your argument certainly has validity, but the bottom line is that our customers don't interact with the choice of what to listen to (which is kind of the core idea of the product) on a day to day basis.

And, whatever philosophy we bring to the table is really neither here nor there. Our customers (apparently) like our product enough to buy it, and we have really low return rates, and the customer support emails (which I literally respond to 100% of) are almost exclusively positive and outright friendly. But that doesn't mean you have to like the product! And anyway the point of the blog post was to explain how our business works operationally - not to promote (or defend) the product itself.
Have the drone pilots not thrown their humanity away willingly?

I think there's s difference between doubting humanity of someone because of skin color or sexual orientation or natinality or whatever, and someone who voluntarily became a murderer as a day job.

The pilots can stop killing people any day. They continually chose not to.
Oh that's awesome - I wasn't aware of that at all!
The wording was unclear to me at first because it wasn’t explicit.

Anyway, I completely changed my comment to more closely go along with the point I want to be making.

Regardless, besides being unfair the idea that the policy is economically justified doesn’t seem to be immediately intuitive to me. It seems like you should advertise on subject matter for that kind of thing, e.g. people who watch EEVBlog would get an advertisement for electrical engineering jobs.
Conversely it will make it cheap to launch clean up missions and to test different strategies and find the best approach.
Does it have to “beat” Go or die?
Well, it depends on what the main objective of the job is. If it to kill someone then do you really want to give it to someone that have moral struggle?
The Go implementation has gotten more sophisticated over time. It now has an optimizing SSA backend, a rather intricate GC, etc. I still disagree with a fair number of the Go implementation design decisions, but I certainly wouldn't call the compiler a basic implementation anymore.
These violent lunatics have killed and tortured thousands of civilians in Afganistan before and during the war. Funding them was definitely immoral and illegal, as any lawyer will tell you.

You barely hear about it because western media reports on western things, if a thousand people die in Kenya, they barely get a footnote.
I think this is only true for a small subset of tech-savvy people. Anecdotally, everyone I know that doesn't work in tech loves their smart TV—it's way more convenient for them than having a separate device connected to the TV, and they don't really care (or even know) about the privacy implications. And I suspect that this must be true more generally, otherwise companies would continue to make higher-cost "dumb" TVs to cater to that audience.
I see ProPublica is rehashing everyone's articles as their own these days.

Didn't Gizmodo prove this and various other abuses a few years back?
