Yeah, there is that thing when optimism becomes euphemism for naive, not allowed to talk about problems and disadvantages. But I think that is manipulative way to see optimism.

Sometimes chances are low or times are bad and optimism should not equal refusing to see that.

The same reasons any country needs satellites. Telecommunications, resource monitoring, science, weather... Sorry, but unless you believe that satellites are superfluous in general, why are you asking if these countries need satellites? Are they something only rich/western countries need? Or should other countries simply be dependent on the countries that already build/launch them?

California is about 20% larger than Germany, in terms of land area, much longer when you look at the longest dimension. Germany is both substantially smaller and more compact for it's land area.
This assumes that an appreciation of music is specifically selected for, which seems far-fetched to me. I see music in the same way that I see other arts an humanities where the appreciation is a by-product of other selected traits, such as language acquisition and production, pattern finding, etc. I believe there has been some research to suggest that music can be composed for other animals, matching their hearing abilities, communication sounds and the like. This is contrary to "we evolved music specifically." Music may allow us to practice strong emotions, but so may painting, story, games, pornography, and cooking. That's a far cry from saying we evolved the ability for cubism and abstract expressionism in order to practice feeling emotions. You can say we can practice feeling strong emotions through art, therefor art. But it's hard to posit the inverse of that sentence.

> Being judgmental will do absolutely nothing to stop those people from taking advantage of you.

You're right if we're talking about people who know you wouldn't like something and do it anyway (sociopaths / assholes). But you might be surprised how un-subtle the effect of knowing "that person will get pissed if I do this" is on changing people's behavior. Most people are reasonable, and they try to take the feelings of other people around them into account when deciding how to act. If your demeanor is always "Everything's cool, I'm taking it all in with no judgement" you can't really be surprised if people don't consider your preferences when making decisions.
While an interesting article, I wish people didn't feel the need to try to make things out to be more 'exciting' than they likely are. I think it takes away a lot from the real reasons to be excited. This seems to be common in astronomy journalism.

"Hmm, we've observed something weird. What could be some reasonable explanations? We'll dedicate 3 to 4 sentences on those then spend the rest of the article talking about Dyson Spheres and extraterrestrial star ships."

Ask HN: I'm curious to know some of the task/project management pains
I'm very curious to know some of the pains of users of task management software like Trello, Monday, Clickup and etc. or even Issue tracking like JIRA What are some of the short comings? Some of the things that bring you back as well.

Typically I see task management as 1-4 weeks while project management being more of aggregation of planning, task management, communication etc.

Lack of planning? Is planning really needed or used?

I was reminded of a great start of a sci-fi novel:

“The star vanished from the centre of the telescope’s image in less time than a single human heartbeat. There was no mistake, Dudley Bose was looking right at it when it happened. He blinked in surprise, drawing back from the eyepiece. “That’s not right,” he muttered.

He shivered slightly in reaction to the cold air around him, slapping gloved hands against his arms. His wife, Wendy, had insisted he wrap up well against the night, and he’d dutifully left the house in a thick woollen coat and sturdy hiking trousers. But as always when the sun fell below Gralmond’s horizon, any warmth contained in the planet’s thinner-than-average atmosphere evaporated away almost immediately. With the telescope housing open to the elements at two o’clock in the morning, the temperature had dropped enough to turn his every breath into a streamer of grey mist.

Dudley shook the fatigue from his head, and leaned back in to the eyepiece. The star field pattern was the same, there had been no slippage in the telescope’s alignment, but Dyson Alpha was still missing. “It couldn’t be that fast,” he said.

He’d been observing the Dyson Pair for fourteen months now, searching for the first clues of the envelopment which would so dramatically change the emission spectrum. So far there had been no change to the tiny yellow speck of light one thousand two hundred and forty light-years away from Gralmond which was Dyson Alpha.

He’d known there would be a change; it was the astronomy department at Oxford University back on Earth that had first noticed the anomaly during a routine sky scan back in 2170, two hundred and ten years ago. Since the previous scan twenty years earlier, two stars, a K-type and an M-type three light-years apart, had changed their emission spectrum completely to non-visible infra red. For a few brief months the discovery had caused some excited debate among the remnants of the astronomy fraternity about how they could decay into red giants so quickly, and the extraordinary coincidence of two stellar neighbours doing it simultaneously. Then a newly settled planet fifty light-years farther out from Earth reported that the pair were still visible in their original spectrum. Working back across the distance, checking the spectrum at various distances from Earth allowed astronomers to work out that the change to both stars had actually taken place over a period of approximately seven or eight years and was simultaneous. Given that speed, the nature of the change ceased to become a question of astronomy; stars of that nature took a great deal longer to transform themselves into red giants."

I’m not at all puzzled that a bunch of people commenting in a hacker forum don’t understand very much about engineering like this. Astronautical and aeronautical engineering are difficult. The fact that we’ve been in space 50-odd years doesn’t mean we’ve perfected anything to the point where we should expect a flawless mission on the first go even for something like this.
Yes, but not in the way I imagine you intended. In capitalism, perhaps 80% of the value you create as an employee is captured by others (see sibling comment.) You can also opt out -- by becoming self employed, by joining a commune or collective, or by becoming a vagrant.

In socialism, the percentage of value you create captured by others is nearly 100%, and opting out is illegal -- in many socialist countries, even talking about opting out gets you sent to a "re-education camp."

I totally agree.

I'm a graduate of Columbia's School of General Studies, alongside many veterans and other non-traditional students. I'm not a veteran, but I had many friends that had served. We had classes with younger students from Columbia College and Barnard and I felt like we brought a different perspective to the classes. I learned a lot from my fellow classmates and I feel so fortunate that I had the opportunity.
I had this exact thought as I was reading this. I wonder if ML could be used to speed up the process and look for anomalies - both appearances and disappearances. Someone in our team did his PhD in machine vision. Will have a chat with him to hear his thoughts.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

> They seem to think like vey corporations do—they should be able to “just buy it”. I don’t like that. Not everything is for sale.

Are you referring to buying land from a country? That's a form of cession, and it's certainly not unprecedented (see: Louisiana Purchase). In my eyes, it's the moral way to go about acquiring land, with the alternatives being annexation and conquest.

Under what conditions are you okay with territorial control changing hands? Can land only be sold to other existing governments?

I've worked for startups and big companies. In both cases you're making something for someone else. Even then, at least at a "Big Company" you can sometimes choose to work on a product that you personally use.

>The reason why is the math changed.

Very true. Making it even more unbalanced is that a startup exit may not be profitable to non-founders. I spent the first 17 years of my career at 3 different startups. Two were acquired and one is still chugging as a lifestyle business for the founder. The net value of my options (> 1% even after dilution in two of them) amounted to a $2000 capital loss due to there being no money left over after debt and liquidation preferences. I did get $350k payout for one of them since I was an executive.

I recently started at a FANG, where the new grads make cash and stock comparable with my startup exec compensation and it won't take long for them to eclipse it. I'll be making multiples of my previous compensation.

That said, I wouldn't change my path one bit. I learned so much in those startups that I wouldn't have learned anywhere else. I had a level of scope and responsibility that apply to nearly any tech job. It also lets me appreciate the benefits and stability of a large company. When I joined those companies, I was also not even thinking about making bank on an exit. I just wanted to work with nice people and build cool stuff.

It feels like the Internet is back to where it was in the 90s where you had malicious popup windows all over the place. I remember when browsers started adding popup blocking as a core feature, and also adblockers became a thing thanks to Firefox's extensions.

Now the difference is that the popups are within the page, rather than opening a new browser window. Since the browser has slowly become the window through which we do everything on computers, moving the popups inside the window pane makes sense.

The adblockers will catch up (I hope), but in the meantime I just avoid websites that are known to suck (which is nearly all mainstream sites these days).

May I suggest starting with the volunteering and teaching, costing only your time initially, then only offer financial support (with strings attached) once you've established a rapport and earned their trust? This isn't some predatory act, just have something in writing that they will actually pay you back for what you loan them financially. Your call if you pursue interest.

Part of learning to manage your finances is honoring debts. There's less incentive to save and budget if you're always receiving handouts without any expectation of reparation. You'd be helping them learn valuable lessons beyond IT.
It doesn't seem like you need any sort of machine learning. Just a telescope hooked to a computer that tracks changes in the night sky over time. Like 2 weeks ago there was a magnitude 7 star in this spot and now it is magnitude 9.
Yes when China does something worth being positive about.

But it's a bit hard when they trap poor countries in debt, detain millions of Muslims in death camps and try and bully their way into every situation e.g. South China Sea, Hong Kong.

How many hours of input is that based off of?
The other three lines are not unrelated. If you just take the first three lies (and the last one), it's fine:

a = 0
def f():
print(a)
f()

Maybe this is all obvious to you, but I'll bet you can't name any other language which behaves this way. Compare the original Python to JavaScript (or Lua, Perl, Tcl, Ruby, C, Scheme, Rust, Clojure, or ...):

a = 0
function f() {
console.log(a)
a = 1
}
f()
f()

This one behaves how I think most people would initially expect the Python snippet to behave. First it prints 0, then it prints 1. (Of course JavaScript has it's flaws too...) If you don't believe me, ask your coworkers and friends what they think it does before running it.

My only real point is that Python conflates variable declaration and variable assignment in a way which initially seems like a friendly time-saver, but which ends up being pretty subtle and confusing until you've learned its quirks. All of that just to avoid declaring your variables (in some fictional version of Python):

var a = 0
def f():
print(a)
a = 1
f()
f()

Here it would be clear which are declarations + initializations, and which are only assignments. And for just the cost of typing the word "var", the compiler could tell you when you've made typos in your variable names. As an added bonus, you could get rid of the "global" and "nonlocal" keywords.
I, for one, always thought 420 was a reference to a police code for possession (similar to 187 for homicide).

Eidiran's post just led me to a few posts about it, and I found this article where you can see a video of the guys back at the exact place of their high school they met at 4:20. I really enjoyed this.

> Do you have trouble with new words and concepts?

The trouble comes when a tiny minority (i) decides that the accepted meaning of common terms no longer suits their personal preference — I refer here to the use of they as a generic singular pronoun in formal language — and (ii) insists loudly that anyone who fails to conform to their new preference is being hurtful and disrespectful instead of merely precise.
5. Tesla is one of the most manipulated large cap stocks on Wall Street. You're observing one of the many rounds of a pump and dump and 6 months from now it'll be at just above 200 again as something "bad" is discovered by the "free" press just in time for the big players to cash out again. Anyone who buys at 420 is a sucker.

Ay and yer only a true scotsman if ya wear a kilt and have a beard!
There are two points that I think are very important but usually don't get the time of day in these discussions:

1. Your success is intricately tied to your network. Have you ever met someone who was ready to cut you a $72k check as a recruiting bonus to join a startup? (Referring to Garry Tan's story.) I will bet that the vast majority of people in the world never even came close to that kind of situation. My point isn't that any given individual has no hope of getting there, but rather that if you want to manufacture that situation for yourself, you do it by networking, not really risk taking.

2. Not everyone's priority is their careers. I wholly agree with encouraging young people to take risks, but for a lot of people that's not the right choice. Most people want to build their careers, but not everyone wants to make it personal the way you have to as a founder.

I worked on startups for my entire early career. I met a lot of interesting people, learned more than the equivalent big company career could have taught me, and I regret none of it. However, it also made me realize that the vast majority of startup people are also just grinding away, not necessarily "taking risks." My experiences with startups made me much more wary about working for a startup.

If you want an interesting life that might lead to money/power (but will definitely lead to interesting people and good stories), find an idea you love and start something. If you want a reliable path to lots of money, join a growth stage company or tech giant and grind your ass off.
Almost every time there is a story about a non western country launching rockets or satellites, the trolls come out commenting on how these countries need to be focusing on poverty instead of launching satellites. As if science isn’t a way to improving the lot of people. As if science isn’t a way to motivate a new generation of kids. As if all the communications, weather monitoring, and resource management that satellites make possible aren’t ways to improve the place. As if national pride amounts for nothing. As if countries can only focus on one thing at a time. As if western countries fixed all of their social and economic problems before working on technological advances.
