Shouldn't the purpose be to help prospective graduate students evaluate the strength of PhD programs in the fields they are interested in?

I think that excluding research in companies or universities without PhD programs is much different than excluding EE/ECE professors who happen to be at universities where the bureaucracy makes it difficult for them to have some sort of "official" appointment in the CS department. It is also much more rare that these entities publish in the top-tier conferences that csrankings counts.

Note that it is not just professors who can advise CS PhD students, it is professors who can SOLELY advise a student for a CS degree. It would help even if EE professors who have co-advised CS PhDs at the same university were allowed to be included.
> You have no clue what you are talking about.

If you're going to make personal attacks, you should at least strive to be factually correct with your own claims.

> ULA has no commercial flights anyway, and their military flights are much more expensive. That is not close by any definition.

False. ULA has launched commercial flights in the past[1] and have more on their future manifest. It's true that their launches for the government are more expensive, but that is also the case with SpaceX's government launches: they charged about $90 million each for the most recent GPS-3 flights[2]. Since government payloads are typically uninsured, you also need to take that into account that higher premiums with SpaceX aren't reflected in those launch costs (because the risk is assumed by the gov directly)

> And comparing those tiny rockets to Falcon 9 is a joke.

Rocket Lab is winning contracts that would've previously gone to SpaceX (either directly or through a rideshare provider like Spaceflight (RIP)). They're targeting a different market but there is still some overlap. Pound for pound Rocketlab is still more expensive, but there's value in being able to choose your own orbit instead of being stuck with wherever your ridebuddies want to go. Anyone who has used Uber Pool or Lyft Line is familiar with this phenomenon.

> Ariane 5 costs 200M$ (sic)

No. An Ariane 5 costs around €100 million. Unless you got really unlucky with the exchange rate that isn't 200 million USD.

> For the most part the only reason ULA has any flights at all, is because both NASA and DoD pick them to keep multiple providers in the market.

I think that is unlikely. ULA would certainly have fewer flights if the DOD wasn't trying to ensure the viability of multiple EELV/NSSL launch vehicles, but they would definitely still have some. In particular the payloads that no other American launch vehicle is physically capable of delivering (e.g. when it comes to requirements like big fairing, and horizontal integration. There's also a number of orbits that a Falcon 9 can't hit with the sorts of heavy payloads that the IC likes to send via GTO or even direct to GEO-- it will be interesting to see how that changes now that the Heavy is certified)

> 10x was wrong

Agreed. It's hard to make a totally apples to apples comparison, but based off of recent awards[3] they are certainly within the same order of magnitude. ULA costs maybe 50% more, but it's hard to judge how the different launch providers affect the mission capabilities. e.g. if ULA is able to send something direct to GEO and get closer to the desired apogee, the bus might save a year's worth of propellant. For a constellation like SBIRS where each satellite costs just shy of $1 billion, another year of capability is nothing to sneeze at

I actually disagree with you. For one, consider that Starship is ultimately intended for manned spaceflight... yet SpaceX is still trying things and blowing stuff up (or imploding or...)

From my armchair perspective I think the risk adversity criticism is justified. NASA should take much more risk even in human spaceflight... in the early stages of platform development. First see if you can build the damn thing and build it repeatedly. Later, after that period, reduce risk and prove out and refine things to the human spaceflight standard. If you jump immediately to, "my God people are suppose to fly on that thing!" well, you're probably going to pay the Russians a lot of money for a fairly long time.

I do agree with you that the political management becomes a real issue. Politicians and bureaucrats are naturally disposed to a certain cravenness about such issues once they get to significant positions of power (senior execs of many companies do, too). But I think a charismatic leader that's out in front of the messaging could pull it off.
Well, I'm asking specifically if the author saw corruption that snuck past the checksumming features that postgres has.

Extra layers are always good, but since I was one of the main authors of checksums in Postgres, I'd like to know if there's room for improvement. (Aside: the page checksum is only 16 bits, so if you have frequent corruption it's entirely believeable that a few sneak past. But I haven't seen it personally.)

You're yelling at a strawman.

If 'obviously' there is no night shift, and people had to adjust schedules for this, then this is an instance of "highly fatigued day crew". Because there is no night shift, none of the rocket workers are being insulted.

Also, 'petty' is a very bad description of their argument.

Also, the comment doesn't say there was no reason to do the test at this time. Obviously there was some reason. The comment is questioning whether the reason is more important than having the best engineers in their most awake state.

4. "Covid-19 is a bad flu, be damned those foreign agents who brought it here. Still a flu, though"
5. "Things are under control, don't panic and keep up with normal life"
6. "Everyone stay home, let's close everything. Anyone breaking these rules will be punished"

Q1: Can we imitate "thinking" from only observing behavior?

NO as you are measuring actions and not the process that instigated those actions.

One example - chess - you see the move, but the thinking behind that move may elude. More so a bad move, as their thinking was that it is a good move when it is not.

Yeah, but then you have to live in a desolate theocracy instead of the center of the civilized word. You can always find whatever vice you want, the question is how much you have to sacrifice to get it.

> even if they manage the first orbital flight this year, there's no guarantee they'll stick the landing as well (took quite a few tests for F-9)

Sure, but they have 2 years to pull that off, and there is a way this happens even in one it's just a bit ambitious.

> Mars missions require in-orbit refuelling, thus a tanker version of the fairing and a docking adaptor need to be developed first

Tanker version is dead simple, just put more rings in both tank sections. In-orbit refuelling might be a bit trickier since it's reasonably novel (technically it's done with the ISS) - but the concept is really simple. SpaceX has done docking before and has complete design authority over both things docking together, I doubt the adapter part is a serious concern for them.

> and a reliable landing system for Mars

Who said anything about reliable?

> they'd still be missing any kind of payload to actually send to Mars

A cybertruck or something. The point is the PR and the capability demonstration not the payload. If they pull this off you can bet they can get significant NASA funding to do it with NASA funded cargo next time around.

I don't think it's possible to avoid politics in any profession. Teachers care about education reform, which is a political subject. Doctors care about the healthcare system, which is a political subject. Civil engineers care about building codes and safety regulations, which are political subjects. Accountants care about tax laws, which are an incredibly political subject. Social workers care about welfare programs, which is also a very political subject. You might not talk about it in the realm of politics while at work, but it has an impact on your work as well as the lives of the public.

You could even argue that being "apolitical" actually means that your political opinion is that the status quo is acceptable, which other people may disagree with. For instance, some people believe that selling water is unethical because it's a basic human need which you should always have free access to -- saying that the status quo is acceptable means that you don't think that for-sale water is unethical. There's nothing wrong with that opinion, but it is an opinion (and a political one at that).
As far as cost goes, I paid $250 for my pixel 3xl in near mint condition. New phones lose so much value in their first year that you can buy them for a fraction of their retail value. I can keep it till it's no longer supported in oct 2021 and sell it and buy another great phone for $2-300 and repeat every 2ish years.

The premium on buying brand new phones is outrageous.

I disagree - the hand you’re given, parents, status, genetics, etc pretty much decide the outcomes in reality. Similarly as you’ve pointed out the early rolls decide most of the outcome as well.
Paid upgrades have worked well for other platforms but Apple stubbornly refuses to support this, instead trying to drive users into subscriptions they don't want.

I think it's too late now. Apple has taught an entire generation of users that mobile software is not worth paying real money for and effectively killed the ecosystem of apps they need to promote the iPad as a general purpose computing device.

Some people are really against writable executable pages for security reasons. Eg. 20 years ago executable stacks were common, and people like OpenBSD and others made a stink about removing it. The W^X mitigations.

More recently, Apple got really strongly into the "no executable writeable pages" stance, banning JITs from the app store and a bunch of other somewhat unreasonable stuff that is really about not letting apps download code without going through an Apple reviewer, rather than a practical security concern. Since that time there seem to be mildly dubious or cargo cult hate for writable code in some circles, who insist it's legit security practices and not a walled garden enforcement mechanism.

If the players involved don't actively trade, then yes. If the players trade often with a reasonable range of decision-making proficiency, the game is very fun.

For example, just by dice rolling, you could get a lot of properties in the Red, Yellow, Green, or Dark Blue zones. But those properties are very overrated compared to Light Blue and Orange, which offer much higher revenue/investment and much higher landing frequency due to the adjacency of Jail and GO. A game with active trading where one player knows this and others don't is almost completely unrelated to dice rolling.

This is why playing against 3 AI opponents is often more fun than playing against humans.
How to know what would engage your IG audience that you have not done
I wonder if the graphs are affected by a "starting" bias, meaning is the mobility on the first date, February 17th for the charts I was looking at, used as the measure for seeing the trend on subsequent dates. The issue what if that date was particularly cold or rainy and then as we moved into March the weather got better of course you would see greater mobility movement as compared to a cold February day esp. the category of Parks and recreation

But instead had they used is sliding window for the baseline (i.e. using the average of the mobility for the past 3 years) for any given day then seeing what this year's date is as compared to that we would see (hopefully) a dramatic decline.

Just thinking out loud

Hot take (maybe): GitHub flavored markdown is the ideal markup language. If the author’s ideas were actually better, we’d use them instead.

It supports code well, it supports non-enumerated lists well, it supports enumerated lists well (if you don’t want view it in rendered markdown, you can view the raw and just disregard the numbers, understanding that the items are supposed to be sequential). It supports links well. It supports images well. It’s easily readable, even with no prior context (@toml, yaml, etc.).

It does whatever a static website could want, and it does it all decently well.
