Interesting article.
If a country has some kind is social net for low income folks, (most developed countries do, even the US) then the assumption is that the whole society is helping them, and some of your own money is going towards that help via taxes.

If a low income person is spending money on things that are not necessities it might feel like their are miss-using the help they get.

I think it is almost a tribal/low level human reaction to that. It might make you feel like you are being taken advantage of, and the feeling of unfairness might come out.

It that person is low income, but not receiving any support, then another feeling is just sheer jealousy or inadequacy, where this person is dressing better/and has better phone/car than you.

Far more so. Government corporate welfare is a terrible idea. Yes the government can and should contract to private businesses but at that point they are the customer and there should be huge amounts of scrutiny on how the money is spent. This should also apply to infrastructure if the government is spending too much on a contract but keeps using that business that is clear and present corruption.

And that's fair.. for a dyslexic, written communication is worse. I wasn't trying to imply that, for all people, which medium is better varies for each individual. I was trying to say that, over the set of all people, which medium is better tends to vary by person. That neither medium is "better" for everyone.
I wonder if you'd consider also creating a deb for Jailbreak users? There are alternate ways of installing IPAs on Jailbroken devices, but it's easier/cleaner to just install a deb in Cydia.
The Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer is scheduled to launch in 2022. It is scheduled to do 2 flybys of Europa, and several more of Callisto, before settling into orbit around Ganymede in 2032. [1]

The Europa Clipper is scheduled to launch in 2024. It will conduct many (wikipedia says 44) flybys of Europa before eventually being destroyed by radiation. The flybys should provide spectrometry and ground-penetrating radar images of the entire surface, and mass spectrometry of any dust it flies through at low altitudes. [2]

Finally, the Europa Lander is currently proposed to launch in 2025. Among other objectives, it would analyze the composition of the ice, looking for chemical signs of life. [3]

Unfortunately, neither of these Europa missions will provide spectacular, years-long presence like Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, or the various satellites in orbit around Mars. The radiation is too intense. Europa Clipper will do flybys to allow its instruments to capture brief deluges of data, then give the radios lots of time to transmit while the spacecraft isn't bathed in radiation. Europa Lander will not have solar panels or an RTG, instead being powered by non-rechargeable batteries. The battery duration roughly matches the estimated electronics lifespan in the high-rad environment: about 3 weeks.

If SpaceX gets a contract to provide X in exchange for $Y from the government, and delivers on their contract, the government has no further business scrutinizing SpaceX's spending.

If the government gives SpaceX money with no strings attached, just a vague "expand production facilities", then the government would be right to be upset if SpaceX spent it on keggers.
Mainstream opinions are shifting more towards the narratives you’re describing.
Depends in your definition of "everything"

If you want to manually manage all memory, then yes you'll have to not use `base` and any pure functional data structure.

There's been a lot of "this feature is going to ruin the ecosystem" FUD but it's not much more that that imo
Early Christianity had some splits, but they primarily happened in the Eastern Mediterranean. Some Germanics were still Arian, they were usually tolerant though.

Religious fanatics were around, but there wasn't a strong wave of fanaticism in that period. Losing access to Greek did far more damage than losing Arian theology.
Starlink is much more like a WISP than traditional satellite internet. Starlink satellites orbit at 550km vs traditional satellites at 36000km.
For those against -- do you really prefer that only well-connected billionaires are allowed to invest in startups, and actually capture the rapid growth?

Most unicorns (and no, they aren't all scams -- many are pretty stable, or exited successfully, a la LinkedIn, Salesforce, etc) were private until they were worth tens of billions. Any gains post-IPO are small multiples of the original investment.

The only people able to invest, and actually capture that growth, were already wildly wealthy. Do you think that's fair?
“Rebel Cities” by David Harvey (2012)
This is just begging the question: why does it become everyone’s business? Once you give someone something, it’s theirs (in the most simplistic sense). If there are social welfare programs that are doling out cash to low income families, we shouldn’t care how that money is spent, but whether or not the money alleviates the issues we are trying to eliminate. How and what that money is spent on is irrelevant as long as the problems are dealt with. Fortunately, we don’t need to know what the money is spent on to measure whether or not the program is working.
I'm sure they will find a way to cut the usual suspects in so they can make their money without lifting a finger.

I spent a lot of time and money on a rural internet project in Canada. Every time we entered a community suddenly there would be a project from the local telcos and cable companies to wire up that one community. They would never do this proactive, just reactive and unless we threatened to move in they would never lift a finger and continue to charge an arm and a leg for some ridiculously slow service.

These government sanctioned monopolies are terrible for Canada.

> Please avoid misleading statements like "orders of magnitude faster". If that were true, even super-complex projects would compile in a few seconds, given it would be at least 100x faster than compiling C++.

The tests of my Rust range-v3 like library compile in ~12 seconds. The tests of C++'s range-v3 take ~320 seconds to compile.

> Please avoid obvious exaggerations...

The incremental compile of the same library takes in Rust ~1 second. In C++, it still takes ~320 seconds, zero improvement because C++ header-only generic libraries do not benefit from incremental compilation.

> Modules are not even used yet by any big project nor properly supported yet, and they are not expected to speed up compilation much anyway.

I maintain a ~500kLOC C++ project that uses modules. C++ Modules did not speed up compilation at all over simple PCHs.

> It does have a cache per user/project/etc., which is basically the same and without it the speed would be atrocious.

No it does not. Check out any project from crates.io into a subdirectory, do a cargo build. Check it out into another sub-director, do a cargo build. All dependencies are re-built.

You'd need to go way out of your way and set up like sscache to get something similar, but Rust and cargo do not do this.

> It isn't hard: C can be compiled way faster than either C++ or Rust because the code and type system is much simpler.

Citation needed. On my machine, rustc spends ~80% of its time in LLVM, which is slow, because the translation units are huge. The other 20% is split into ~5% parsin, ~5% type checking, and ~10% LLVM-IR generation.

Even rustc's synthetic trait metaprogramming benchmarks do not spend even 10% of the compile-time in type checking.

So if you have a test for which rustc spends most of its compile-time in type checking, go ahead, and post a link. We'd love to add it to rustc's benchmark suite.

Also, on my machine, while clang spends less time in code generation, it is still over ~60%.

Clang spends more time in parsing and type checking, and that's because C++ overload resolution scales with the number of visible overloads, and the more header files you have, the more overloads there are (e.g. an error with operator<< on a ~500kLOC project produces ~2000 "potential candidates"). While that's part of the slowdown, still 60% of the time is spent in LLVM. The reason is that idiomatic C++ just produces more code than C due to templates, inlining, etc. for similarly-sized TUs.

Parallelizing compilation within a TU is hard to do well. Rustc tries without much success and clang does not. In C, you can simply parallelize by using more compiler processes to compile fully independent TUs in parallel. These TUs are also smaller because idiomatic C code doesn't use many macros to generate code, most functions are linked opaquely, generics also generate few code via void*, and the worst culprit of long compilation times in C, which is including too many header files, can properly be cached using PCHs.
C21 Billion for a super collider can be considered perhaps to be a form of Nerd UBI. At least there isn't much in the way of negative externalizes with that vs building weapons. Consider US defense companies have been lobbying against congressional efforts to stop Saudi Arabia from bombing Yemen.
Am I in the minority in thinking that if someone wants to go out into the wilderness with little or no preparation for months at a time, that it's no one else's business?

McCandless didn't ask for a book to be written about him. Why should anyone care one way or another that an individual they didn't know decided to do something for his own sake with little effect on anyone else.

If I, or anyone, decide tomorrow they'd like to take a very long walk in the woods and not return for six months, why does society at large need to weigh in on that? It's not a question of moral or ethics. People are consistently smug, morally prescriptive, and hindsight-ridden whenever the topic of McCandless comes up.
I find it a bit condescending and tone deaf too.
...and if you can't turn off "overdraft protection" then you should find a new bank. Especially if they charge a fee for overdrafting: it's just a fee for being poor.
Yeah, I can't wait to see how it performs. It's truly in a technology class of its own.
When power-saving states for CPUs were still new and Windows support was still lacking, there was a 3rd party tool that would decrease the idle temperature of my Athlon XP by creating artificial load with a low process priority. It would basically replace the System Idle Process and put the CPU in some new P-state.

Is there some standard way in *nix/Windows to create artificial CPU load while actually not increasing the energy consumption at all?
We are larger and more diverse. It's like the difference between a lean small company and a bloated corporation. The reasons why SmallCo A and MegaCorp B are different could be infinitely variable, but at the population level, it's generally agreed that the differences between the small company and mega corporation populations are simply due to scale.
Several scenarios described in the article made no mention of someone else paying the bill or providing funding to the person but the results showed the same scrutiny of their purchasing decisions.

And I would have thought this goes without saying but a person generally cannot financial-plan their way out of poverty. Poverty isn’t from lacking financial discipline it’s from lacking financial resources and opportunities. It’s impossible to fund a savings account when your income is just barely enough to keep a roof over your head and food on the table.
> The article talks about "constitutional rights"

No, it does not.

In the same sense that I am free to murder someone or free to modify and distribute proprietary software - free in the sense that nature won't stop me, unlike flying for example, but not free in any useful sense of the word, otherwise everyone would have free speech at all times and no matter where they are and at what era they lived in as long as they are not mute.
The handling makes perfect sense if you assume that they have been compromised. Compromised in the sense that their primary job is optics, not regulation.
"Optimism" and "pessimism" don't really apply here. While SpaceX hasn't publicly committed to what the "operational" value will be, it's likely they had a very good idea before they flew any hardware.
Same here. It was a romantic drive. Not even really for an adrenaline rush which is partly what something like base jumpers are after. And even then, only some of them could be said to have a death wish.
That's a good sales strategy for the book, but also for the rest of your life you're a "NY Times best selling author".

My understanding is that Firebase is free. However, even if it wasn't I still think the link is tenuous to the point of meaningless. Spending attention on HN does not make google any richer, it stretches the definition of the word "support" in a way that misses the point within the context of boycotting a company. If every HN reader quit the site today only a Firebase SRE would take notice, if every HN reader quit using Gmail it'd cost google a considerable amount of money.

> You can "extend" any argument to an absurd extreme.

It isn't absurd - it's unfair to transmission manufacturers that they have to follow Toyota's rules! The horror! Everything should be allowed for everyone! Otherwise it's oppression! It's not my crappy business model, no, I can't take responsibility.

> It's more like if Toyota installed a radio that blocked transmission of all radio shows that didn't pay a percent of advertising revenue to Toyota. If they did that did that, people would complain and regulation would be an entirely possible, even likely outcome.

Perfect example to prove my point. The radio is already regulated by the FCC - if it wasn't, and anyone could stream garbage however they please, like the play store, it would be a feature in automobiles to block that out. Absolutely. And people would pay big money to get it.

Is there an implicit contract between the benefactors of social programs and the beneficiary that requires the latter to use the aid to at least try to pull themselves out of poverty? I definitely lean towards the "yes" side. Maybe it's because I've been privileged, but it makes sense.
Great, then tax breaks for big corporations, subsidies for the fossil fuel industry and the military industrial complex are gonna get a closer look then? Sweet.

The LHC and HL-LHC after it will run until the thirties. We’re squeezing the absolute maximum out of the investment in the 27km ring we can here. LHC physics has produced tons and tons of results over the last 10+ years, it’s just that not all of them are exciting enough to the general public that you read about them. Still worthwhile though.

I continue to be extraordinarily skeptical of companies boycotting each other as a social change strategy. The more we deputize brands for this kind of thing, the more we encourage people to ignore protests that aren't supported by brands.
You must have pasted the wrong link, because the linked article mentioned "survey" 4 times and 3 of those was in a short sentence saying searches for near-Earth objects will loose all twilight...

The severity of the noise for radio was not graded in the slightest, and the word "minorly" is never used.

Working class people have been ingrained with a crabs-in-a-bucket mentality. Meanwhile, we've allowed 1% of Americans to sit on over 50% of the wealth, and people still ask "but how do we pay for it?" when it comes to actually improving the material conditions of the working class.
I think we may be talking past each other somewhat. By "marxist theory" I meant the timeline and cause-effect chains that are generally in the textbooks, history books what your likely to be taught in college, etc. Marxist interpretation would have been a better choice of words.

The orbit those are doing (a Molniya orbit) means they are looking down at Russia for many hours, then they zip around the far side of the globe quickly, then back to hanging over Russia.

Geostationary is cool, but it's very expensive, and lots of Russia is very far North for which Geostationary sucks anyway. So, do cheaper orbits with more birds, but with a very eccentric orbit and voila, you've solved the problem.

correct horse apple stable eat (c.h.a.s.e) is, I suspect, closer to the spirit of the original suggestion. Just tacking the name of the company onto the end instead of weaving it in is, as you say, pretty weak.
Investing tons of money into developing a physical retail preference where people can go to if they have issues might not be magical, but it certainly is a difference maker.

I don’t want to troubleshoot my older relatives tech issues, I just point them to the apple store. Time is worth a lot.

As far as I can tell, only Apple wanted to invest in this route. Nokia, Google, Microsoft all have tons of cash, but no one wants to invest it into low ROI high liability physical retail options.

Nokia was perfectly okay letting the mobile carriers and their uneducated minimum wage staff deal with customer service. Apple decided to invest in customer service.

Also, all of this migration to smartphones happened in 2010 to 2014. If other companies had invested as much as Apple into the user experience (including what you do when you have a problem), maybe they would be in their position.
Contrary to the headline it’s also not a done deal yet. They recommend further R&D to keep the possibility of FCC available.
I don’t know, the money I spend subsidises quite a few billionaires, bureaucrats, managers, and shareholders. Where do you think companies’ income comes from? It does not give me the right to put my nose in Tim Cook’s spending habits. That’s not even considering tax-funded bailouts, pork and vanity projects.

Also, we don’t “give” money to the poor. We buy social peace by preventing them to get desperate enough. Riots and revolutions is the alternative, which is much costlier.
If poor people can't be trusted to make rational market decisions, what does that imply about capitalism as a system?

"Four-walling is when distributors rent out a movie theatre and buy all the seats," Mr Tabach, who used to work at BuzzFeed making viral videos, explained.

"So they pay a flat fee to the theatre, and any money they make off seats goes straight into their pockets. The moment we realised that was an option of distribution, we went for it."

They pay the fee to the theater, but as the distributor of the film they then get that money, or some large percentage of it.

Yes, absolutely! At the start of the program, we ask about nutritional preferences / restrictions, and the coach can also hop on a call to clarify anything.
