I honestly could not say exactly, though even the best laid protection can find a new exception and in the digital age and ability to propoergate lies as quickly as facts, it would be hard not to happen. After all nothing is perfect, well, accept nothing itself as can not add or subtract from that in any way to make it better than what it is.

Though even investigating can seem to push events into a fact when they are not by how they are handled. The whole Cliff Richard even in recent years testifies towards that.

Hence no single source can ever be infallible, even about itself. Why multiple sources at a consumer level and personal best judgment still carries merit.

More so in a time when opinioin is often dressed up as facts of the whole when they are facts based upon opinion of a one, however many echo them.
In my opinion, Google is getting worse constantly, which boils down to basically the following aspects for me:

1. I don’t like the UI anymore. I preferred the condensed view, with more information and less whitespace.

2. Popping up some kind of menu when you return from a search results page shifts down the rest of the items resulting in me clicking search links I am not interested in.

3. It tries to be smarter than me, which it fails in understanding what I am searching for. And by “understanding” I basically mean to honor what I typed and not replacing it with other words.

I try to use DDG more often but Google gives me the best results most of the time if I put in more time.

The Falcon 9 has an AFTS (Automatic Flight Termination System) that destroys the booster if it veers off course (which might take other parameters into account as well?) to avoid damage on ground.

As far as I know the AFTS consists of a detonating cord that runs along the tanks for fuel and oxidizer and rips them open when triggered. The substances mix and deflagrate and only the massive parts will actually reach ground (or sea).

I remember that. It still seems to make sense to research propulsive landings and gain NASA's approval for them eventually (while maintaining the well-proven water landing capability) if it would cut costs significantly.
The question is legitimate though as sometimes we do get 3D renders, e.g. when it comes to this image of the Korolev crater on Mars: https://www.esa.int/var/esa/storage/images/esa_multimedia/im...

They even added the fog (the fog in the picture is white and while there is dust on mars it's rather brown as the planet's surface https://mars.nasa.gov/imgs/mep/weather/PIA22520-600.jpg ).
Congratulations to the SpaceX and the whole team! That moment of truth when the thrust was lost and the module separated was actually way faster than I had expected. I could barely notice the exhaust plume was smaller and the dragon had already left.

I think it's incredibly satisfying to note that SpaceX is so good at the launch sequence with the Falcon 9 that there were zero delays except weather. With any new rocket system test, I completely expect there to be multiple delays with the countdown.

Again, congrats to everyone and their hard work.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it more a 65C816 than a 6502? Granted, the 65C816 was a better 6502, but IIRC, it’s closer to the former than the 6502.

But those pretend complaints aren't his complaints. His complaint is "why does this archived reddit page from six years ago without any updates come up on search results for 'things within the past month'?"

Which is... reasonable.
I checked the video (https://youtu.be/tiq0OL8rzso?t=925 at 15:25): She says "日本語を話しますか？", pronounced "Nihongo wo hanashimasuka?" meaning "Do you speak Japanese?", which she also translates for the audience in English immediately afterward.

Edit: Typo.
Very worthwhile if one is interested in rockets and SpaceX in particular. The interview was summarized in English on the SpaceX subreddit.

My experience using C/C++ is limited, but this always feel felt rather cumbersome to me.
Right, so then the question is if the other processes currently in place serve as mitigating factors to the inadequacy those qualifications present to the selection system's efficacy. I'd argue that they don't, in which case you're spending a lot more time and money for the same results.

If they do, then would fixing the qualification issue be less expensive than interviewing et al.? Again, assuming that you have a choice of similar outcomes at different price points.
I've been screaming about this for years and only recently have people begun agreeing with me - and I know exactly what the major problems are, and they are synergistic:

1. SEO has totally warped result rankings. Now instead of getting results which naturally match my keywords because of content, I'm presented with almost exclusively commercial websites which are trying to sell me something. Gone are the days where you could search for technical terms and not be bombarded by marketing websites.

2. Google's AI is far too aggressive for technical searching. It is clear that Google is using NLP to parse queries and substitute synonyms based on some sort of BERT-like encoding. The problem is that a given word may have synonyms that are actually orthogonal in meaning space. For example, if I search for trunk, Google may return results for "boot" as in car trunk, instead of anything related to SVN. Contrived example, sure - but here's where the real problem is: Google's AI is regressing to the layman's mean. It is effectively overfitting to Grandma's average search query. Think of it as the endless summer of search...and since there's no way to usefully customize your search now (can't give people too many options or they might get confused!), you're stuck combing through unrelated results and it is increasingly difficult to disambiguate your search query. Remember when advanced search existed and typing in a question to search was terrible practice? That shouldn't have changed - but as more and more non-technical people started searching, Google (rightly, from a marketing perspective) seized the opportunity aggressively.

3. Primarily because of a combination of points 1 and 2 above, and the endless summer of non-technical users, informative websites have all but disappeared in search results, replaced by shitty SEO optimized blog spam and commercial websites which offer high level summaries primarily to generate traffic and sell you shit. Curious about how to repair your own roof in detail? Well don't bother searching "roof repair" (and quotes seem to be broken too btw) because the first two pages will be full of roof repair company websites.

So what is the result? The portal to the greatest asset in the history of the civilization, the internet, has gradually turned into a neutered, commercialized corporate service where users are a product. It's tragic to see all of that empowerment thrown away in the name of profit. As they say, if the user doesn't see it, it isn't there, and for this reason Google is effectively killing the internet.

I haven't even gotten into the demonstrated potential for search curation and autocomplete abuse, where Google becomes an effective, centralized arbiter of truth as the defacto portal to the internet, and how dangerous such a concentrated power over society can be.

Google really was admirable when it wasn't evil - now I'm about convinced that it needs to die.
But does anyone know why search on Reddit is broken? Perhaps intentionally? I don't want to get tin foil hatty but perhaps more not readily apparent false positives = more user clicks = more revenue via ad serving?

Before I just change therapists I'm looking for empirical evidence from HN readers that might have gone a different route that has yielded tangible (if personal) results. Does anyone have anything to recommend?

I still wonder how much more difficult it is to get proper weather conditions over open sea vs. land when preparing to land during a normal flight. I'd imagine strong winds become stronger over sea than over land, and of course, the ability for ships to reach you in choppy seas becomes much more difficult.

Fair point, though I'm satisfied at looking at Apple's marketed offerings.

You could take NeXT back to Thompson & Ritchie. NeXTStep as ur-Aqua is also a fair argument, but again, not occurring on mainline Mac generally. By that argument Classic Mac might be traced to the Alto and MOAD.
Yes, that stood out and by that glaring omission alone and the slant it took, diminished every other word upon that page - as doubt was raised. But that's how we trust sources, once we see them make such mistakes, we question and doubt all from that source.

But then anything political is always going to be full of such bias wordcrafting slants, however `neutral` a source appears due to multiple inputs and volume of input that such things can and as in this instance, do happen.

Fact is yes, the article and statement is true, but as always the context as you say - he was the Prime Minister of the UK, more than explains that and it's omission gives that observation without that context a major slant.
The author says that Rich Hickey has built a speaking career on emotional appeals to the superiority of dynamic types.

I would prefer to say that Rich Hickey has built a dynamic programming language which includes a powerful typing system and that he's largely responsible for its design.

It's difficult to reconcile those two statements.

The main reason it's expensive is because supply restrictions have pushed housing far above the cost of construction. We could fix this by allowing more construction, which is what I'm arguing for in the post.
There are pictures of the second stage coming down in one piece and exploding upon hitting the water (at a safe distance away from the capsule and recovery crews). So it certainly doesn't look like the flight termination system was engaged.
You have a bunch of rocket fuel and a very hot rocket engine in close proximity when the booster starts to break apart. The explosion was entirely expected.

I also have no idea what an unplanned or unexpected controlled detonation looks like. It seems like a controlled explosion has to be planned or expected by definition?
For non-web, give the Red programming language a try. Java is also another good one. I am afraid there just isn't a good, robust, free and open source system when it comes to client-server stuff. Rapid development tools also tend to be less mature on Linux, compared to OS X and Windows (Mac and Windows have a rich tradition of business/enterprise rapid prototyping e.g. FileMaker, HyperCard, Visual FoxPro). If you are on the Microsoft stack (and don't need gimmicks like multiple screen size support, Material-style shadows and animations), the standard WinForms system is also quite productive. I heard that the new SwiftUI system is starting to bring back the spirit of rapid development too though I have no tried it myself. These days "no-code" systems are also making a comeback with half a dozen new SaaSes showing up on HN every other week.

Getting even more off topic, your comment is completely right except for this:

“a body initially at rest relative to the Earth at altitude 300km experiences an acceleration of 0.89g towards Earth”

which is false in the general-relativistic way of looking at things. An accelerometer initially at rest at 300km would show no acceleration as it starts to fall towards earth. If the atmosphere and the earth could be removed without affecting the shape of spacetime the accelerometer would continue speeding up till it reached where the center of the earth was, then slow down, reaching a speed of zero at a point opposite from where it started, at which point it would repeat the motion in reverse. At no point would it register an acceleration. Nor would an accelerometer in orbit register an acceleration. In the general-relativistic framework, free fall means no acceleration, and the motion of a body in free fall is determined solely by the shape of spacetime. So, at best you can say,

“The shape of spacetime at 300km affects a body's motion the same way an acceleration of 0.89g towards Earth would if spacetime were flat.”

By the way, an accelerometer on the surface of the earth, e.g., the one in your smartphone, registers a constant acceleration of 1.0g in the up direction caused by the normal force of whatever the smartphone is resting on. If someone knocks the phone off a table, the acceleration becomes zero till it hits the floor. (Air resistance can also apply an (upward) acceleration to the smartphone, but is negligible at the speeds reached during a fall of only a few feet by an object as heavy and dense as a smart phone.)

In addition to the loss of the aerodynamic nose, it also started tumbling simply because the engines were powered off. Modern rockets, falcon 9 included, are not actually aerodynamically stable during flight, and rely on active controls from gimballing the engines to keep pointed in the right direction. Once the engines power down, the rocket has little chance of surviving.

This is good, the usage for UV is huge and anything that reduces costs will only help.

The pipeline thing is easy to evaluate. It clearly gives Russia more leverage over East block countries. Now look who oppose it and who pushes it and you will know who our ally is. Doing huge business deal that destabilizes the region while having sanctions over Russia invading part of Ukraine is just big betrayal. We can't count on Germany helping us. The only big player left who is interested is US. Additional bonus is that they have proven throughout history that they are acually capable of doing something.

Why should I care if they would tolerate military presence in Mexico. I care about stability and safety of my country and our region. It's clear Germany is not our ally here while US at least does something.
My guess is that Google et al are all hell-bent on not telling you that your search returned zero results. They seem to go to great lengths to make sure that your results page has something on it by any means necessary, including: searching for synonyms for words I searched for instead of the specific words I chose, excluding words to increase the number of results (even though the words they exclude are usually the most important to the query), trying to figure out what it thinks I asked for instead of what I actually asked for.

I further suppose a lot of that is that The Masses(tm) don't use Google like I do. I put in key words for something I'm looking for. I suspect that The Masses(tm) type in vague questions full of typos that search engines have to try to parse into a meaningful search query. If you try to change your search engine to caters to The Masses(tm), then you're necessarily going to annoy the people that knew what they were doing, since the things that they knew how to do don't work like they used to (see also: Google removing the + and - operators).
It is insane how willfully someone with over 20k karma points on HN ignores the details of what I'm referring to (the manner in which it exploded not that it exploded) and bluntly assumes the dumbest thing possible about a somewhat neutral statement.
It's Reddit, not search that is the problem you idiot.
I'd understand avoiding a city that has these policies, but avoiding the whole country because of bigoted decisions in other municipalities strikes me as strange thinking.

It's not like every Polish person is in support. If you live in Poland and some municipalities (not even yours) passes discriminating rules, what can you do? Move?

Are we suddenly implicitly supporting every dumb shit done by people that are in some way or other similar to us? It's absurd.

> I think in this case semantic web would not work, unless there was some way to weed out spam.

That's not so hard. It's one of the first problems Google solved.

PageRank, web of trust, pubkey signing articles... I'd much rather tackle this problem in isolation than the search problem we have now.

The trust graph is different from the core problem of extracting meaning from documents. Semantic tags make it easy to derive this from structure, which is a hard problem we're currently trying to use ML and NLP to solve.

For anyone searching on this, a couple days after I asked my question here the register published some data on this question [0]. They report copyleft licensing of open source projects fell from 60% in 2012 to 33% in 2019. The percentage of copyleft projects continues to fall the ratio appear to be leveling off towards perhaps 25% copyleft (GPL-like) and 75% permissive (MIT-like).

I take a couple of issues with that:

-I wouldn't offer this person 30% if I didn't need them to get the company working. I sold them 30% under the premise /I will have 100% of nothing without her involvement/. To the extent that we're arguing about cutting up the rewards, presumably she brought to the table what I believed I needed her for. So I got my "payment" from her, and now I'm cutting her out of her end. Presumably if I didn't think she was critical to the company's survival, I wouldn't be paying her 30% of the company. So whatever she provided, it was clearly /what I needed/ at the time. I presumably wasn't giving her 30% as a one-time salary to a non-critical employee.

-It sure seems like employees have their vesting schedules be dependent on their continued employment, which is contingent on their continued work quality. Is there a reason this isn't valid for co-founders?

> It was a long-held belief that ... no isometric embedding of the square flat torus—a differentiable injective map that preserves distances—could exist into three-dimensional space. In the mid 1950s Nash (1) and Kuiper (2) amazed the world mathematical community by showing that such an embedding actually exists.

> In this article, we convert convex integration theory into an explicit algorithm. We then provide an implementation leading to images of an embedded square flat torus in three-dimensional space. This visualization has led us in turn to discover a unique geometric structure. This structure, described in the corrugation theorem below, reveals a remarkable property: The normal vector exhibits a fractal behavior.
Driving on the east coast or west coast, I see hundreds upon thousands of miles of sprawl. Californian sprawl even extends across natural barriers, with houses clinging to steep hillsides, houses built on ridiculously unstable land, houses built in shrub forests that obviously have an annual fire season. If people want to live that way, it’s fine. But they leave, and they build more sprawl wherever they go...
