While the tried and true method of splashing down in the ocean seems like a reasonable first effort for landing the dragon spacecraft, watching the difficulty the boats have in reaching the spacecraft (the hosts of the stream mentioned it takes them 2 hours!), and the difficulty the SpaceX team had in getting reasonable weather conditions for this test, it seems to me that a propulsive land-based landing would still be a reasonable future improvement to pursue.

That's similar advice to what my mother always told me. For me the unspoken part of this advice is that it leads to you not expecting much from people. Not in a bad way, in the way that everyone has their own life and problems. They wake up in the morning to tackle their own life and problems and when they do take the time to do something for you be grateful because the do it by choice. Thanking people was a big part of African life accompanied by gestures such as clapping hands in a particular way and using poetic language to thank person. Seems to be a dying practice. People seem to complain more about things people haven't done for them.

> Meanwhile there appear to be many people who (I must admit much to my puzzlement) seem to still enjoy writing C++ and want to add even more features and paradigms to it.

I enjoy C++. My general approach to programming is that you should make a domain-specific language to express your problem, and then solve it in that DSL. C++ is a good tool for that when you also need deterministic performance guarantees. So any "new feature" that allows me to write more expressive DSLs is welcome.
Why did the booster explode? No thrust causing it to lose direction?
If you were the astronaut and it was an emergency that triggered the abort (e.g. the launch vehicle blew up like the Falcon 9 just did), would you really prefer the Dragon tried to land instead of at sea?

Keep in mind it wouldn't be able to choose its landing site either.

Structural static typing lets you do exactly what you claim static type systems are incapable of letting you do. It's fair to say those systems are not common--Typescript is the only one I know of--and I wonder why that is, but it's not an inherent failure of static type systems.

my guess is that legacies are just a good proxy for donations in general. if someone encourages their child to apply to the same college they attended, they probably feel more connected to the institution than the average graduate (and have donated more accordingly). legacy admissions policies may also encourage people to donate more because they know their children will have a better chance of benefiting from the investment. it's likely a decent proxy for wealth, too; someone who graduated from an elite institution is probably well above the median income.

so basically it correlates with a lot of things that the institution wants, but doesn't want to state as an explicit policy.
There aren’t a fixed number of jobs. Everyone who has a job and produces things generally also creates jobs by consuming things (or by putting the money in the bank and having someone else borrow and invest it). It scales with the working population, otherwise we would have run out of jobs a long time ago. There are other reasons for problems with unemployment/underemployment.
Best practices for tagging your infrastructure and applications
Agreed, perhaps it's something like the difference between top-down vs bottom-up learning in teaching. People don't all use the same mental models and allowances need to exist for both groups. But I suspect this is true of most contentious topics in programming.

For what it's worth I definitely agree there can be a lot of overhead added by typed code especially in Java or C#, but I suspect it might have less to do with the type system and more with the enterprise-ness or otherwise of those code-bases. Designing a good typed API for other people maintaining the same code-base is difficult

That would require significantly more fuel and a different design, likely limiting the Dragon's crew payload.

This abort happened after the rocket reached max Q (highest dynamic pressure) when it was flying East (and still upward, but to get to orbit you must fly sideways over water). Returning West to get back over land would be fuel prohibitive on a fully loaded crew capsule.

The reusable falcon 9 stages have almost nothing in them when they fly back to land.

That was the original end plan, but AFAIK it was mixed a couple of years ago.

“The reason we decided not to pursue (powered landings) heavily is it would have taken a tremendous amount of effort to qualify that for safety, particularly for crew transport,” Musk said. “And then there was a time when I thought that the Dragon approach to landing on Mars, where you’ve got a base heat shield and side-mounted thrusters, would be the right way to land on Mars, but now I’m pretty confident that is not the right way, and that there’s a far better approach.” [0]

My hodgepodge of notions about jobs, people, geography.

I have a very Adam Smith (Wealth of Nations) and Jane Jacobs (Life and Death of Cities) themed view of population centers. What would it take to recreate (clone) Silicon Valley, Shenzhen, etc? Rhetorical question, everyone is already trying to do this. It comes down to clarity of purpose, investment, and riding economic trends.

People getting married and starting families is mostly an economic decision. Consequently, young families will relocate as needed. Future employers and governments should be mindful and help.

There are always multiple trends working simultaneously. Cities, especially coastal, will continue to become more dense. But there's also a smaller trend (demand) to return to the land. So places like Kansas should invest in restoring locally owned, smaller farms and enterprises.

Both of these could be true. I have no doubt about your microservices anecdote, but I wouldn't dismiss Arrival's strategy outright because of it.

Arrival may have something in common with Nucor steel and its mini mills.

Legacy steel mills created steel by melting iron. This required a big, expensive blast furnace that was hard to start and stop.

Nucor recognized that it could use a smaller more nimble electric arc furnace to melt scrap steel. The timeline we're discussing was '68 so think Space Race Era. The concept proved successful.

Since then, Nucor has remained successful with its mini mill concept while other steel companies have faced myriad ups and downs. The technical limitations of the mini mill have gradually gotten better as well expanding Nucor's market. [0,1]

Arrival is claiming that:

1) Its "vehicles won’t require things like metal stamping facilities (the vehicles are made of composites) or paint shops"

2) So that it can create microfactories situated closer to its customers

Regarding Arrival's strategy, I see a similarity to Nucor. Arrival recognizes a new reality for how it will build EVs that it thinks will allow it to manufacture differently just as Nucor did with scrap metal and arc furnaces enabling mini mills.

Is this a viable strategy? I don't know. To decide that I'd need to weigh critiques from people with industry knowledge.

I'm shipping a test appliance out this week but we haven't completely locked on a production OS. This feels like an interesting path. Host level data persistence isn't something I need or desire, so a RO filesystem is perfect. For $reasons I've been on an Ubuntu track (changed from Debian because of an official upstream LTS). My hesitation about Fedora is the fact that it's bleeding edge (ish) and doesn't have an LTS path (reasonably, bases in the design goal). The evidence is in they fact that the upgrade path is not expected to be smooth here.

I can eat a lot of shakeup in my own data center or cloud but a shipped box makes that a lot more problematic.
I thought the U.S. was able to beat the Zero primarily by changing tactics. They instructed pilots to dive at, them make one attempt at a hit and then quickly climb back up to higher altitude to try again, rather than trying to outmaneuver the more agile Zeros.

No, that you would exclude in the contract so you keep it. If and to what terms of course depends on the specific case, as a new startup you'll have to give something.
And yet you give no attempt at an explanation of why the US is spending more billions on EU defense than the EU is spending for themselves. I mean beyond the not so subtle insult that I must be naive...

When bombing Syria the US actively seeked the public support from EU countries even if it didn’t involve much action. Again, there’s a fine line between fighting a righteous war and an abusive, terrorist one. Between the righteous US and the terrorist Russia and China. And that means keeping friends close. Not “public” as in you or me but as it our leaders. When Germany actively refused to cut economic relations with Russia or Iran the US proposed withdrawing troops. Then looked to cause more tensions in Iran which would make it unpalatable for EU countries to continue these relations. In this connected world being alone is bad even if you have the biggest army.

If what I say was wrong the US would go ahead with no approval from anyone. But even when nobody supports that war with actions the US still waits for the public approval. Not doing it risks turning them into “just” another abuser. Any repercussions arising from this (allies distancing themselves, or cooling of economical and political relations) will not be solved by the US being a superpower. China is a superpower but without any validation from enough legitimate allies (like the EU) the superpowerdom is not enough.

Realistically speaking an actual show of force against Europe is absolutely off the table without risking them turning their allegiances east. Hence the alternative means if keeping friends.

Don’t take this as geopolitical analysis, just as pragmatic evidence since nobody spends hundreds of billions every year for “strangers” out of charity. It’s more effective to buy influence in the civilized world than to beat it out of them.

- open source licenses (i think GitHub does this right?)

- code of conduct

- code testing template

- benchmarks

Apparently pilots who were a good shot benefited significantly from being able to place many bullets in the target.

At #1 you were stretching for a retort. At #2 it became apparent you've run out of relevant critique.
The pointed nosecone on the top of the rocket came off and it lost aerodynamic stability, and started to tumble. The tumbling caused the fuel and oxydizer to slosh around the very thin (and lightweight) tanks that are not designed with withstand that kind of force. The sloshing accelerated the tumbling. The thin tanks rupture causing the fuel and oxidizer to mix in the vicinity of a lit rocket engine. BOOM.
> Yeah, and why bother making the country a mess by letting foreigners into your country?

I mean, that’s kind of the point, isn’t it? And unless you’re a proponent for open borders, you advocate a similar position - just a different scale. I’m also not really a fan of the “deny others opportunities” grandstanding. I mean you do it right now. I bet someone wants the job you have. Why not give your money away so others have opportunities? It’s easy to talk the talk with that. We all, by nature of our global system, deny others opportunities. The Swiss deny me an opportunity to move to Switzerland since I don’t have a million bucks. New Zealand requires me to invest half a million. Canada has a points system for immigration.

> People moving for opportunity is a fundamental part of what America is. To deny others opportunities that you have by virtue of birthplace is nativism, and it's ugly.

Well, like towns, you shouldn’t expect the idea of America to not change. There is like 350mm people here. Personally I think that’s plenty and the Statue of Liberty mindset just reminds me of 2nd Amendment arguments. I don’t want to end up like India, China, or Bangladesh with crowds and crowds of people (whether they are here due to immigration or birth). I think the US is overpopulated as it is. My idea of America is a lot of untamed wilderness, clean air, national parks, peace and quiet. Increases on population don’t really fit my vision (but that’s mine).

> Massive rents, struggling families, hideously long commutes: all the result of NIMBYism.

And this isn’t solved by building skyscrapers and having more people. It’s solved by having fewer people and jobs less concentrated in specific areas.

PG talks about taboo topics. Population is one of those I think, for me. I feel uncomfortable saying anything about it publicly, and I feel as though people have largely been indoctrinated that growth=good and you shouldn’t challenge that. I really just don’t see the value in adding more and more people to the US (birth or immigration). If we could have fewer, better educated people and less wealth disparity this could be an even better place to live. Imagine getting rid of jobs that people don’t want to do and then paying people a lot more money to do jobs they do want to do? Pay a barista $100,000/year instead of two business analysts making $50,000. It’s not like we’re going to add enough jobs to keep up with the pace of growth, unless we add mind-numbing bullshit jobs or create another TSA.

But I think the whole raison d'être for everything here in this tiny post is that our economy is built on a growth model. It’s a huge Ponzi scheme (in function not intention), so if we don’t increase the population or increase global population and sell to them, the whole thing falls apart. But it’s also this growth mindset that’s destroying the pristine wilderness we have, causing global warming, and contributing to nonsense wars and terrorism.

“This email should probably be attorney-client privileged, not quite how to do that though.

Anyhow, Sean and I have agreed that a price of one-half cent per share is the way to go for now. We think we can maybe almost justify and if not, we'll just deal with it later.

We also agreed that if the company bonusing us the amount we need for the shares, plus tax, is a good solution to the problem of us all being completely broke.

As far as Eduardo goes, I think it's safe to ask for his permission to make grants. Especially if we do it in conjunction with raising money. It's probably even OK to say how many shares we're adding to the pool. It's probably less OK to tell him who's getting the shares, just because he might have adverse reaction initially. But I think we may even be able to make him understand that.

Is there a way to do this without making it painfully apparent to him that he's being diluted to 10%?

OK, that's all for now. I'll send you the list of grants I need made in another email in a second. Sean can send you grants for his people when he stops coughing up his lungs.

Human space stations aren’t zero gravity (it’s actually 0.89g). The apparent weightlessness is due to continually falling and never hitting the ground. You don’t need to be in zero gravity to see the water form a sphere shape either, use an eye dropper and a high speed camera and you’d see similar results.
In the hypothetical world in which self driving cars are the norm and not the exception detours would be in the system so that SDCs would not need to read signs. Even now a lot of traffic maps get updated to show detours, delays, and temporary closures due to accidents.
