IIRC, this breaks a record that no other rocket has achieved. Prior to this mission, every single Rocket Lab flight with a paying customer has been a success. Many other rockets have had 11 successes in a row, but no other rocket has had their first 11 launches with payloads be a success.

(Rocket Lab's first mission was also a failure, but it did not have a payload. That failure was with ground equipment, so this current failure is their first rocket failure).

Generally speaking, today's big box stores are actually not the same physical ones as the first generation.

Walmart has not really opened new stores, mostly closing them in recent years: https://www.mashed.com/148703/the-real-reason-walmart-is-clo...

And to be clear, when I say big box store, I do mean the physical store itself; Amazon has a lot of the same market segments, but they are not themselves opening stores in large amounts.

>If you look at actual statistics on crime petty theft isn't some rampant issue in these societies.

How do you gather actual statistics when the locals don't pay attention or care, police see it but take no action, and some of the main victims (tourists) are gone in a few days and don't have the time or language skills to make a report?
i dont have an explanation for excluding those. except russia. a huge piece of red there would be a very easy giveaway something is wrong. however the authors can do a specific thing for a specific reason and still leave out some other places. the idea to leave out the us, the eu, brittain, norway, iceland, australia, new zealand, japan, etc in addition to those you mentioned can't be counted as mere coincidence. that's deliberate. the fact that the method is very flawed is painfully obvious from other things as well. those large very red swathes of lands in Niger and mauretania are a stretch of sahara, not some massive slum. i hope the authors will not be discouraged by their failure. next time i will hope they will include the west and not paint the desert/tundra/etc red.
A nice example is that Gauss realized in 1805 that Fourier transforms could be made less tedious by subdividing the problem (n=12=3*4 in his case), 160 years before Cooley-Tukey.

You've referenced engagement first, but then, you've ignored about it in your conclusion. That is, as long as the inflow counters the outflow of participants, the situation will not improve or will even worsen - just as we've experienced in the last decade.
Patent holders and genuine inventors can and will hold the development of technology back.

Often, society is wrong and capitalism is right.

When society is prejudiced against a group (not the fake prejudice that society complains about - major broadcasters like Fox and CNN are both probably championing groups who have plenty of support from society, but maybe other groups are actually marginalised but it wouldn't be broadly OK to say it if they were) then it's not society's moral code that helps them (if anything it hurts them), it's businesses that only care about money who will still deal with them.
“Functional core, imperative shell”

I would say this in a slightly different way myself. "Mathematical core, business shell". Code in the mathematical core is defined by it's behaviour. "sort", sorts a list. Functionality in the business shell solves business problems. For instance "add_customer".

In a year's time, sort will do the exact same thing. But "add_customer" may update a different database from what it used to, and in a different way. Code in the mathematical core will never become incorrect because the world has changed. But it can become irrelevant. Sorting may no longer be needed by the application.
This is only the case when your government isn't targeting you.
I always reflect on this right here when the subject comes up. I first read Starship Troopers as a high schooler in 1999. It impacted me greatly and I took what I wanted to from the book thinking it made me wiser. Upon reflection now 20 years later I think the book is a strong warning against incentivizing civic duty.
A strong sense of civic duty and a respect for law must be value enough without reward for a democracy to remain healthy. I am open to the notion that 20 years from now I will think that 2020 me was equally foolish to 1999 me.
It's just a bit of fun. Not everything has to be some sort of statement.

No, it was at the start. Then after a few months everyone who was reading the journal articles became aware that aerosol was the mechanism of spread and that normal human behaviors created aerosols that worked for this. The WHO and governments have lagged because they don't want people hoarding effective masks when hospitals need them more. But they can't deny reality for much longer and it's time to manufacture more instead of lying about spread mechanism.

Ask HN: What does Congress do to verify constituent communications?
Given the openness of communication with any elected official in the USA (see https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials/) what does Congress do, if anything, to verify the legitimacy of calls, letters, emails, etc that they receive from 'constituents'? If these channels are as vulnerable as they seem, does anyone know if any groups, foreign or domestic, have executed a systematic campaign of disinformation directed at Congresspeople?
The first language is lost; there’s no need for it to be “useful”. In some ways it’s mildly preferable for it to be a language that no student is likely to return to, but that is incredibly unlikely no matter what the first language is.

Then again, given the incredibly low level of bilingual native born Americans, one should probably examine the purpose of second language education given that it basically doesn’t stick.
Years ago I had a rule that I would not post anything after 8pm. I had discovered after some reflection that that was when my "witching hour" for toxic internet posting was most likely to begin. I don't follow the rule anymore as I've slowly disengaged from social media and am less likely to get riled up by that nonsense, but it was a good rule when I did follow it.

Commenting platforms should have "circuit breakers" that slow down activity. It's the easiest thing to measure and control. You don't even need to analyze content. Metafilter had (has?) a similar feature for posting topics, which only allowed one topic per day.

As others have pointed out though, slowing down activity decreases engagement and hurts the bottom line.
Which part? Republican obstructionism or Democratic capitulation?
Indeed.

Colin Kaepernick, on Twitter:

> "Black ppl have been dehumanized, brutalized, criminalized + terrorized by America for centuries, & are expected to join your commemoration of “independence”, while you enslaved our ancestors. We reject your celebration of white supremacy & look forward to liberation for all. "

Point of clarification: by "our ancestors" he's referring exclusively to his African-descended ancestors, not his European-descended ones.
> In the past, for example, Italians and other Southern Europes were not considered “white”

This is absolute bullshit. There was rampant and socially acceptable prejudice against Southern and Eastern Europeans as well as the Irish, North Africans, Levantines and Central Asians. They were however all legally white. There was no attempt to stop their immigration as such as there was with Japanese, Chinese, Indians and other Asians. They were not classified as legally distinct like Black or Indians (Native Americans).

Racism was completely compatible with considering the othered group white. Italians, Irish, Swedes, Germans, Poles, every non-Anglo white ethnic group suffered discrimination but the idea they weren’t considered white is ahistorical trash.

Fiorello LaGuardia was elected Mayor of NYC in 1933. Francis Spinola was the first Italian Congressman to serve a full term in 1887. Anthony Ghio was Mayor of Texarkana in 1880. Andrew Longino was the first Italian Governor, Mississippi 1900.

American racial politics was always about black and white with other differences paling into insignificance. Ethnic and religious prejudice there was aplenty but at no point in American history were Europeans considered non-white.
No they can't.

22% of Americans use twitter. Most tweets are from 10% of those people. There are many people who yell and scream so loudly on-line that people believe their numbers to be much greater than they are. It frustrates me when someone takes action because "people on twitter are mad". Decisions are being made based on who has the most active thumbs.

The only chance Gaelic has is the separation of Scotland from the United Kingdom. You occasionally see old languages come roaring back when a group of people is split back out from a larger political entity that they’d joined. This basically happened to modern Czech in the 1800s, with the elites rushing to revive a language that had been losing out locally to German.

But that ... is a much bigger ball of wax than just Gaelic.
You’re upset that he focused on the ones who were oppressed rather than the ones who were oppressing? Many Black people have white ancestors but ask how much of that was really consensual and how those children were treated.
>They hugely harmed competing projects and competing companies including Mozilla, many phone OSes, many grassroots programming languages.

IMO, we're the reason it failed. We as a consumer didn't buy FirefoxOS phone over Android, iOS. We haven't adopted Firefox browser enough for it to become have the major market share. The same argument can levelled against any proprietary product VS open-source product.

That proves my point, being 'completely community driven' open-source project isn't the only criteria for the success of a project.
I’m down. After reading the GQ interview posted here earlier, he’s a decision and direction guy who gathers experts to speak on what should e done and how to do it. Then he drives them to produce the best they can do.
I see what you mean. I mean, nobody should be expected to be always tuned in on this sort of stuff, much less so to, and this is something I specifically think is very wrong, to forget that whatever one may have learned, he was once ignorant of it that this is absolutely natural and normal and should be treated as such, inclusive to those that think they've gotten the absolute unquestionable knowledge.

So, any kind of moralism is just bullshit to me, and this just goes back to the "charity gap" I meant. Ppl going overboard with sermons, that is completely misguided, I don't think that was specifically the case here but I know what you're talking about.

To me this comes from insights I had from philosophy & stoicism, for the whole it's a much more complicated matter.

I’m not sure what you mean exactly by “political economy”? In any case, what is excluded usually from definition of means of production is human capital. Slavery is decidedly not that. It is the ownership and dehumanization of people. There is no choice, no labour market. I don’t see a reason why it’s not a means of production other than “the textbook said so”.

Really was hoping this would be for finding projects on GitHub, not for searching within a repo. I often find it hard to do advanced searches using some special DSL GitHub has come up with (or really any company/website for that matter) and would love to use a SQL query to find specific git repos. I definitely feel the same way about YouTube channels and videos.

I guess I'm missing something because I don't see how Windows 10 on Mac+ARM is ever going to happen.

- Will it even boot Windows (or any non-Mac OS. I suppose someone will write Linux support eventually.) ?

- Custom Apple GPU. Apple is not going to write drivers for Windows for it. Microsoft certainly will not.

- x86 only emulation. What are these 32-bit Windows apps (Other than visual studio, maybe by developers) that are widely used by Mac owners ? Games ? See GPU above.

I personally think this marks a permanent split of Mac and PC.

Would love to hear other takes.
Thanks for the detailed reply!

Some of your point sounds a bit like this (please correct me if I'm wrong): "Deflation is always bad because it could be hyperdeflation." Namely, if deflation is significant enough that it incentivizes me foregoing a purchase for a few months (and then another few months, etc) it's _significant_ deflation. But why not make the equivalent argument "inflation must be bad because we can imagine hyperinflation" as well?

But instead of hyperdeflation, if we had -0.1% risk-free interest rates, would people really forego all purchases? I don't see why. If I need a new toaster, or some clothes, or gas for my car, I would not delay the purchase for 6 months to save 0.05% on the purchase. This seems like a realistic number if the deflation is caused by a population contraction in a country with an advanced economy.

It seems real-world encounters with deflation (at least since the inception of central banking and planned expansions of money supplies) have come largely during periods of _sharp_ economic contraction. But is such a scenario really comparable to a slow decrease in population?

Moreover, if monetary policy can offset deflation, what creates the need for immigration to offset the deflation? Why isn't the monetary policy enough?

What does that example have to do with this? Why are you talking about cops?

You entire argument relies on these kids already being hardcore racists instead of being misjudged reckless teenagers. If they smoke weed when young, are they hardcore drug abusers too? Would you say the same about kids in very rural or urban inner city areas that are predisposed to certain perspectives? Should they be doomed because they had no other exposure?

College admissions already has an intensive character test. Why do these posts overrule that test? Regardless of admissions, you're losing all nuance and expecting people to be perfect from day 0. Such people don't exist, and all you'll end up doing is creating more hate, divisiveness and letting in people who hide themselves better.
Maximum discharge rates for batteries are generally called "C" with units of hour^-1, though the units are often left off for some reason.

For the purposes of an installation such as this, C is essentially a constant, depending on factors such as the chemical and physical construction of the cells and thermal management system of the batteries. Given C and the maximum power output, you can calculate the actual energy capacity of the battery.

Describing capacity in terms of power rather than energy reflects its usage in actual practice. I doubt the C of the battery is higher than 1/hour, and peaker plants can be brought online on a timescale of 10 minutes or so. So if the grid has a shortfall in power, the relevant question is whether the battery has the power capacity to make up that difference. If it can, it should have the energy capacity to last until the rest of the grid brings online more supply (assuming it didn't start at a low state of charge).

If you look below the surface the sentiments of many of them seem to be similar to this excerpt from Frederick Douglass:

"Fellow Citizens, I am not wanting in respect for the fathers of this republic. The signers of the Declaration of Independence were brave men. They were great men, too, great enough to give frame to a great age. It does not often happen to a nation to raise, at one time, such a number of truly great men. The point from which I am compelled to view them is not, certainly, the most favorable; and yet I cannot contemplate their great deeds with less than admiration. They were statesmen, patriots and heroes, and for the good they did, and the principles they contended for, I will unite with you to honor their memory."

Here's where we're at with WireGuard distro kernel shipping support, as of writing (July 4, 2020):

- Ubuntu Focal 20.04 LTS: native built-in

- Ubuntu Eoan 19.10: native built-in

- Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 LTS: native built-in

- Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 LTS: dkms :(

- Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 LTS: dkms :(

- Debian: native built-in

- Fedora: native built-in

- Mageia: native built-in

- Arch: native built-in

- OpenSUSE: native built-in

- SUSE Linux Enterprise: native built-in

- Alpine: native built-in

- Gentoo: native built-in

- Exherbo: native built-in

- NixOS: native built-in

- RHEL/CentOS: dkms and elrepo kmod :(

- Void: native built-in

- Adélie: native built-in

- Source Mage: native built-in

- Buildroot: native built-in

The rule of thumb here is: distros with kernel ≥ 5.6 have it native built-in, plus a few distros that have backported it, like Ubuntu, Debian, and SUSE. I'm in the process of working with other distros to get it backported; we'll see if I'm successful. I'm also maintaining a 5.4.y backport for distros who ship this LTS kernel (like Oracle's UEK), to make backporting it easier: <https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux/log/?h=backport-5.4.y>. There are instructions for each distro on <https://www.wireguard.com/install/>.

If you're presently having "update troubles", make sure you're using the latest variant of any of the "native built-in" distros written above.
To my knowledge, a vast majority of crimes are committed in the home and without uploading evidence of it online. It would never be dealt with by outlawing any sort of encryption.

Would it not be better to figure out ways we could tackle that? Counsellors taking a close look at children? Teachers trained to identify abused children? CPS making a closer examination of suspicious households?

I know you're coming from but online crime really is a tip of an iceberg. An iceberg that is easy to spot but one which masks the true scope of the insidiousness going on below and makes it all too easy to say mission accomplished.

This is the sort of article that I could have really used at about year 1.5 of my programming career. I’ve learned many of these lessons the hard way and resonate/agree with the examples here.
