The premise of my post is not wrong, because if you read what I actually wrote, you will see that nowhere do I state that this test was conducted entirely as if it was a real manned mission to the ISS - of course, it wasn't, including for all sorts of facts that do not have anything to do with the previous history of the capsule. What I actually set out, in my first post, is a principle for regarding tests as being as significant as real operations, and it so happens that this principle still largely holds even when a test deviates to some extent from a real operation. I did not state this obvious extension because I did not anticipate a pointlessly pedantic response.

Until the failure had been diagnosed, it would have been correct to consider whether the problem was entirely the consequence of the capsule's previous history, but by now, we are all - even you - agreed that the test did reveal a potentially serious problem that could be fixed. It turns out, fortunately, that tests do not have to be equivalent to live operations to be useful, because relevance does not depend on them being so (as this case demonstrates.)

How am I a targeted ad? I didn't say everyone on HN is a targeted ad. However, HN does show targeted ads.

Not even close. You should reread my comment for what it says, not what you want it to say so you can try to reply with a witless comment.
I'm not anti immigration in general, and in fact my whole family came here from eastern Europe decades ago - though I grew up American-ish, I've always felt different from the members of my communities, partly because culture in my home was not quite American. This is one of the costs of a liberal immigration policy - families from different cultures are less likely to interact closely and form civic societies. The barrier comes in the form of subtle but different social customs, and different values - there's a reason large groups of immigrants tend to self segregate, and it isn't just the convenience of language. That doesn't mean people won't be kind and neighborly, but it limits the depth of the average inter-familial relationship.

The millennials in my cohort, I imagine across the country, were raised by their schooling to be race and culture blind, in a well meaning attempt to encourage cohesiveness. This education did not erase the actual differences that drive different cultures apart, it only made most of us blind to them, which I think makes it more difficult to overcome subtle cultural barriers because it takes time for, especially "suburban white kids", to be aware of and mitigate the soft social friction that comes from cultural clash.
Well, you're discussing basically a subset of the rural poor, who maybe are more okay with/intentional about that lifestyle than we give them credit for.

However, there's the class of bloggers who advocate for being middle-class frugal, saving up as much money as you want, and doing whatever you want with the rest of your life. Maybe some of them are full of crap but I believe many of them actually are practicing what they preach.

And there have been countless middle class professionals who've done basically the same thing without writing blogs about it -- they've just quietly lived their lives.

That lifestyle appeals to me. It just seems so much simpler and more efficient.
I'd rather shift with my left, so my right can steer. Back when I drove auto, I'd often drive with just my right hand on the wheel, it felt completely natural. It took me a while to get used to left hand only, and I'm much more likely to have both hands on the wheel now. Aside from the argument that maybe I should always use both hands, my point is just that it's probably better for right handed people to shift with their left hand since it requires less dexterity.
> significant problem had escaped all efforts to eliminate unnecessary risks up to that point.

This test was part of the process of identifying and eliminating those risks.

There is no difference between a failure during a test and a failure during operation, in terms of identifying needed changes in space craft design.

There is a difference when it comes to evaluating the design and testing process of the company. SpaceX seems to be very good at balancing moving quickly with design, then testing safely, using those test to find weaknesses and learning from their failures to iterate rapidly.

Despite some early failures, it seems SpaceX is rapidly on its way to having the best launch safety record in the industry.
> Contrast that with visiting a city like Kiev where, in the evening after work, the city parks are filled with families enjoying the sunset (when the weather is warm)

Or any large American city with residential urban neighborhoods? I don't think it's fair to compare a European capital with nameless American suburbs. Thinking back to one of my favorite apartments I lived in Chicago, I had: an independent grocery store 2 blocks away, numerous small locally owned shops, bakeries, and restaurants on the main commercial thoroughfare, and large park (~1/2 sq mi.) less than a mile away, filled with families on summer evenings.
Interesting thought. Wouldn't you think though that women would have gained social capital by being in a workplace with other people rather than being at home alone?

Richard Penrose has written extensively on this subject in his book "Shadows of the Mind".
1. For instance, he mentions a FISA court order referring to the NSA's interpretation of section 215 of the PATRIOT act--FISA documents are rarely unclassified (it's a secret court, after all), and secret interpretations by the NSA are just as likely to be highly classified.

2. Sorry, I'm not well versed in this area. I imagine Patraeus followed the rule when publishing his memoirs.

On the plus side, my work as PhD is self directed and I can most often come in whenever I like, and work whenever I like. Also, of course, my work is very rewarding most of the time.

The downside is: I feel pressure to work always, also on weekends.

The alienation in the US very obviously has nothing to do with the internet, and in fact, I'd say the internet helped people be less alienated. I say this because pretty much every country is as online as the US is, and doesn't have the problems the US does.

The US is alienated from widespread fear of crime, immigration (aka the actual sociological results of Robert Putnam, rather than the yammerings of some Buzzfeed wanker), poisonous oligarch funded divisive politics, and the general disintegration of anything resembling a family life or social fabric in US society. There are various obvious ways of decreasing social alienation in US society; the problem with that is, most people aren't going to like it. The opposite of alienation and social atomization is basically conformity and homogeneity, and that's bad for business; and especially bad for the oligarch types who engender this kind of alienation.

Fiddling with the internet in a futile attempt to decrease social alienation is like buying a tank top to increase your physical fitness.

Ah, thanks! Yeah that makes a lot more sense
I'm sure there's a number of factors, but the problem I've witnessed the most is the general break up of the home. Most often I've seen caused by a father being absent. There has been a measurable decline in the lives of men in our society.
Can't happen. It would instantly be racist--it turns out the people with kids who can do math are the kinds of people who did not need the money. An instant wealth transfer to the well-off.

I used a Bloomberg terminal for years and years, both as a user and as a coder.

- It's quite convenient for business side people. I used it to trade all sorts of things (FI, credit, equities, fx, derivs on all those) and there was always some convenient function you could type in to give you a calculator for whatever it was. Whatever derivatives model you found in a textbook, you could find it in the terminal. With relevant data loaded in.

- Data is convenient too. Once you know how to work the API, you can pull a huge amount of data. A lot of it is available elsewhere, but nowhere has so much in one place, in one API.

- They are very serious about you not sharing the terminal or the data. Obviously once you have the data in a text file, they can't do much about that, but they do limit the amount you can download, and then they phone you once you trigger something. Sounds like a warning, but also a sales call at the same time.

- It's not so easy to share the terminal itself. The standard tricks like installing it on a VM, or installing remote desktop / VNC won't work. I'm sure someone has figured it out, but it's not as easy as sharing most other software services. They'd be fine with a small business sharing a terminal though, as long as it stayed on one machine that different staff would take turns on. And in case you thought a Bloomberg Anywhere would solve it for your distributed team, that used to use a special biometric device. Not sure if it's still there.

- Chats I'm guessing are not nearly as interesting as a few years ago, before the revelations about what was being said. I never got much gossip, but it really depends on where you're sitting in the market. You can use them as a replacement for voice trading, and everything is recorded. And it warns you if you're about to send a swear word, heh.

- A lot of small firms use the terminal to trade directly with counterparties, there's a whole OTC infrastructure in there. I never used it much but all the banks had their own Bloomberg pages for doing trades in all sorts of things with them.

- In terms of infrastructure, you can get a dedicated line for your bbg, they come and stick some stuff into your rack. This can fail over to internet if you want, simply a matter of changing the config on the app and phoning them. Also IIRC you can get a special data server, depending on whether the guy above scared you into buying one.

- The help function is for users, not coders. You'll wait for ages while the agent on the helpdesk figures out that he doesn't understand your problem if you're a coder. If not he'll find the business function you're after quite fast. Every time I got through to a dev about something that needed to be changed, it went into a suggestions queue and stayed there.

Crimea only appears as Russian if you're viewing it from within Russia, which recognizes Crimea as part of Russia, not Ukraine.

If you're viewing Crimea from Ukraine, it will appear as Ukrainian, because Ukraine recognizes Crimea to be part of Ukraine.

That seems fair, doesn't it?

I hate to say it, but this is cancel culture. The question is what other emojis are coming to get band because someone finds them offensive?

Listen, I'm not religious at all. This has lead to many intense conversations with my mother as well. That being said, but I celebrate xmas. Why? for me, it's about family.

Honestly, I'm very curious what's the next emoji to be banned? Wine/beer/champagne emojis because they "encourage" drinking? The Crescent moon () because some might feel it's "too islamic" lol

Can someone insert Michael Jackson eating popcorn or would that be offensive because of his legal issues lol

Okay sorry. I just had to say it... well not really sorry because I said it so saying sorry is bullshit on my behalf lol

Hopefully people learn to treat each other with respect and stop trying to censor everything.. it's getting a bit silly.
Have a look at other developer tools like IDEs (IntelliJ) or profilers (YourKit). Look at what kind of value you provide relative to what they do.

You should definitely charge for upgrades. Make the license for a particular version perpetual, but no upgrades after a year unless they pay again.

Most of your money will probably come from large corporate licenses. Think about how to structure them.
Not sure SpaceX makes it seem easy. To me it's more like they get a free pass for a lot of failures because people like what they're doing and think the company is cool.

Unpopular opinion.

Putting all the conspiracy theorists aside the intent of the law is actually to gain what western countries have a new phone that has localized apps that non-English speakers can use.

For some apps, like twitter, translation of the ui is enough for some others local apps are just better.

Knowing how laws are being implemented in Russia it is hard to tell what this will turn out into, most operators already wrote an open letter to the president to not sign the law, but it was still signed.

So I see it more as an attempt to created isolated marked similar to china one rather than total surveillance scenario.
On run of the mill singlemode fiber loss is roughly 0.5dB/km. Splitting off half of the light (and you don't need half, much less is fine), would result in 3dB of loss.

Fiber tramsreceivers automatically negotiate the power needed to sustain the link. So in case of datacenter or city networker, you could do a split-of without introducing too much loss and error rates.

Trans-oceanic fibers are different beast but I guess someone figured it out.
I find this so fascinating, is there more info on the software/hardware during this time period?

From what I've seen living a privileged community in a not so privileged country, its that culture tends to impact in a much higher degree than money or privilege. Yes, money can buy you the privilege of skipping those awkward interactions that make us human, but it is up to the person to actually want to use money with that purpose.

I know very wealthy people that keep very closed ties to their families and friends. It's true that finding real friends gets harder, but the isolation tends to be caused by a deeper cultural norm.

E.g. in Latin America the family is given a much higher importance than in the States or Europe. It is not rare to see young adults living with their parents even if they can easily afford a place of their own. Even those that live on their own tend to meet their families in a regular basis.

In the end it's all about prioritizing what is important in your life and in every society there seems to be a common list shared by it's inhabitants, if you end up in a place that values more independence than relations, maybe its time to start swimming against the current in that regard.

What's wrong with creating fake accounts? Nobody has to listen to what they say. This worry about disinformation seems to be the idea that people see multiple accounts making some claim and wrongly conclude that it represents a popular opinion, and so believe that claim themselves. But that's a ridiculous way to form beliefs even without fake accounts. Just the selection bias of people who would use a particular service already makes it non-representative, let alone whatever algorithm the service uses to decide what messages to show you. And of course popularity doesn't make a claim true anyway, even if you do get a good sample.

What if they're not even fake accounts, but some big group (like a country) just organizes its members to post particular things? Should those users be banned? Or a business pays people to promote their products (the business model of influencers)? What if that organizing isn't particularly formal but is gently guided in one direction in the form of propaganda or advertising (nationalists and fans)? Now do we have to ban all users from some country because they've been too brainwashed by their local propaganda to be trusted as acting like independent human beings? Ban all Christians? They seem to keep repeating the same false information like robots, and somebody might get fooled into believing it.
I feel like this idea of creating a private market for space exploration is a huge waste of public money. NASA worked better when produced everything in-house.

I am not American, so: not my money, not my country. I have no say in it... But I wonder if I am the only one to think like that.
> I think the best thing that can be done is wait 1-2 generations; by then nobody will believe anything they see in the media or in social networks.

That's not the best thing, that's the worst thing. The goal of disinformation campaigns is to make people so distrustful and confused that the adversary's social cohesion is compromised to the point where they become disorganized and less able to respond to threats.

This New York Times video explains it very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR_6dibpDfo.
It's important not to shift the goalposts. Western security establishments are concerned that once Huawei has overwhelming marketshare in systems like 5G networks, they will have the ability to use these against target nations. They (at least the credible agencies) are not claiming that current Huawei devices are backdoored now.

Even if you believe the worst about China and Huawei, it wouldn't make the slightest bit of strategic sense for them to implant backdoors into products now, when marketshare is still small and growing rapidly. You'd add the backdoors once you had network dominance, like the US did.

It's the fallacy found first in the list the causes the issue:

>- Calories are a lie. The model is incorrect (true) and should therefore be completely ignored/rejected (false)

>- Fats are good. Nuts are healthy.

>- 'Grazing' food all day is good.

Good fats are good for you and nuts are a source of such fats. For some, eating more frequent, smaller portions makes it easier to hit a reasonable caloric intake for the day. However, add in that calories are a lie and ignore the fact that nuts are calorie dense, and you get people eating 3000 kcal of nuts in a day by grazing on healthy foods.

In another thread, the mention of weighing foods for a while seems to counter this. It's just not that intuitive that a small bag of nuts can have enough calories for a meal (at least is wasn't always to me). As a child of the midwest, it took some time to deprogram my concept of healthy portions, so I can admit to falling into some version of this trap for many year, and still do on occasion.

I clicked on their 'Platform manipulation' link to find out what they mean by that phrase. Early on it says:

"We want Twitter to be a place where people can make human connections, find reliable information, and express themselves freely and safely."

I don't see how bulk-created accounts are consistent with that 'mission' statement. What kind of 'human connection' might result from a bulk account someone paid Twitter to create? How 'reliable' might info from a bulk account be? Why else would someone create a bulk account, except to manipulate people?

Appears they're blind to their own hypocrisy? Further on, at the top of their manipulations list they mention "commercially-motivated spam, that typically aims to drive traffic or attention from a conversation on Twitter to ..."

Yeah. Uh, the Twitter feed contains a constant gush of paid-for spam that is intended to do exactly that.
