What are you talking about ? So far Ariane program seems to be a commercial success. ESA on a scientific point of view too.
It is true that Ariane 6 will not be reusable, although cheaper than Ariane 5, just like ALL reliable commercial launchers today (even tomorrow for ULA) outside of space X. It is clear that this is the future. However, these are only the first steps. I am not sure that today space X will be able to be profitable with it.
Talking about tax money, note that SLS will not be reusable too...
The Ford study is one of the weaker ones, it's a retrospective study and not a randomized controlled trial. There are better studies available, so it doesn't make sense to focus on this specific one that is inherently weaker and subject to more confounding factors than a randomized trial.
Both your comment and the article sound a bit like the inverse of the problem addressed by "Domain Driven Design".

In the case of the book/approach, the problem is that the IT side doesn't match the business side (in terminology, code organization, etc.). The solution is for IT to become more aligned with the rest of the company.

But in the case of your comment and the article, the mismatch seems to work the other way around. Out of some 'two-pizza methodology' or whatever, the business side now has to split up what should be a single problem/domain in a nonsensical collection of different domains.

I might be entirely off here, though. But if I'm not, is this problem perhaps particular to companies where IT is more in charge than in the types of companies where DDD has been a solution?

Many are suggesting that TikTok would be overvalued at $50B.

If that's the case, do you believe FB is overvalued at $662B? Instagram, as of 2018, was estimated to be worth around $100B on its own (with about 1b MAUs, versus TikTok's 800m).

TikTok seems at least equally addictive, and its algorithm does a fantastic job at quickly showing good content that matches your interests.
The issue seems more complicated than just the first amendment, which only proscribes the restrictions of your free speech. In general I think the underlying dynamic is that culture itself has become a hostile battleground and expressing an opinion is likely to get people riled up and breathing down your neck. In short, people are flat-out shitty to each other these days. It sucks. No one wants to speak up in that environment.

But even then I'd challenge your first couple of statements. There are whole lot of consequences for defying the political leadership these days, especially when you bring evidence that they might have committed crimes. It's a nightmare right now.
China does the same things the Republican government would do without hesitation. Are kids in cages and racist war crimes in Middle East somehow dissimilar to China's genocide of ethnic minorities rooted in, say, islamophobia (Uighur Muslims)?
Ask HN: GPT-3 for Software Documentation?
GPT-3 can write a coherent paragraph, and can understand enough syntax and structure to generate some shallow code. Passing the Turing test and creating production code is a ways off, but it's at a level that could be capable of generating software documentation.

A GPT-3 generated summary of what a short function does that is always up-to-date would be better than no documentation or something that is years out of date. Also, this could be a benchmark of readability of code. If GPT can't read your code, it may need some refactoring.

Am I overestimating GPT-3 capabilities in this?

Are there any groups working on this? A quick search didn't bring anything up.
Taking in mind absorption rate by plants, I wonder if you could do a controlled release in somewhere like a rainforest such that a minimal amount would make it back into the atmosphere and a majority would be taken in by trees and plants. Alternatively build large green houses and vertical farms and pump it directly into there.

I worked at a company where their k8s setup was implemented by someone who did not grok k8s. It was basically a tangle of bash scripts that imperatively set up the infrastructure, including many loops of polling to wait for things to be ready, and direct search-and-replace of string tokens in the resource definitions. The incredible thing was that it mostly worked. The downside was that it was quite brittle, so you had to make changes with great care. It could easily get stuck in an loop, or hit a timeout - often both. This would leave the cluster in a bad state. Then one would have to run a clean-up procedure before retrying. All of this was slow beyond belief.
I think this is a new model of job security?

It generally looks like:

- Go to company with major growth

- Tackle a problem they face

- Leverage company resources to build a open source solution

- Sell management on all the benefits of open source

- (Optional) Wait for stock to fully vest

- Create consulting services company for the tool you built

You're missing the trick. If you've got "free" energy, you can reverse the process: combine the CO2 with water and turn it back into high density hydrocarbon solids that you can safely bury. Or, if you can pick the hydrocarbon, use them in construction.

Doesn't help with the amount of gas you'd need to process, but the storage part is doable.
I studied hypnosis for a while (out of an interest in mentalism, and not so much the medical aspects), and this is pretty much what every hypnosis book and course preached.

Basically, pick a simple metaphor and state everything in positive terms.

You've probably heard the trope "Don't think of a pink elephant" which of course forces you to think of a pink elephant. Instead you can "notice how all the elephants in your mind are grey." It's the same reason it's not possible to tell Brain, your dog, "Don't Sit!" once you've conditioned them to sit upon hearing that command.

There are so many examples. In SF many of Connie Willis' stories revolved around constantly missed connections as someone ran around trying to find someone else. The film Play It Again Sam had a running gag in which one of the characters was constantly calling and giving a phone number about where he was at the moment. Anything written today that depends on a "missed connection" has to explain why someone couldn't just make a cell call (or otherwise do a search and reach someone).
> Whereas most of the world's electronics are partly or totally manufactured in Asia, it's mostly by or for American- or European-owned companies.

Do you have a source for this claim? I suspect it's incorrect, especially once you stop focusing quite so strongly on CPUs and programming languages and start considering everything that goes into a computer or mobile device such as RAM and networking, not to mention displays, which are just as important as the CPU.

> fighting medical quackery and disinformation

I would rather we fight the people who are preventing medical discussions from taking place. If you want to call the use of hydroxychloroquine "quackery" and "disinformation", then you should be able to definitively prove that it's completely ineffective. Because right now, there's indications that it can save lives, and the actual problem we're facing is that potentially life-saving information is being shut down.

If it solves a meaningful business problem for an adequately capitalized business, $1000/month is approximately free. Solving meaningful business problems for adequately capitalized businesses is a sound basis for a business. And charging $1000/month means you can have an adequately funded business with only a 100 customers or so. Which means you can provide good customer support.
> Can you give another example of a space corporation with such a consistent strategy of very publicly overpromising to win contracts and investment?

All of them? We call them cost-plus contracts, and they're very common in space/military projects. Bid crazily low, because the bid doesn't matter!

For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Webb_Space_Telescope
The tree of invitations to Lobsters is tracked. If A invites B, and subsequently B behaves badly, that in turn reflects badly on person A.

So before A invites B, A would naturally want to know who B is, and have some confidence that B will bring value, and will not behave badly.

So if you want an invitation you need to provide some information about who you are, and some indication that you will behave well and provide value. But your profile is empty, every submission here on HN is to the same web site. You've made only two comments, both of which are on the discussions of your own submissions.

What value do you bring?

Please note, this isn't a value judgement of you or your work, it's an attempt to explain some of the context and aspects of the situation of which you might not have been aware. And having said all that, someone might offer you an invitation anyway.

Regardless, good luck.

2031 is when the Sample Return Mission is supposed to return the samples back to Earth. Keep in mind slips happen in ALL sorts of space projects, not just SpaceX. I’ll take your bet.

I want 2:1 odds:

SpaceX returns a vehicle from Mars by the end of 2035 (UTC), and before the NASA-ESA sample return mission has returned its samples. I’ll buy you a beer/beverage (value not to exceed $10) if you win, and you’ll buy me 2 beers/beverages (value not to exceed $20 total) if I win.

That is a difficult question to answer. I imagine there is always a balancing act. Especially if the police have some rule in place, it could create situations that criminals would attempt to take advantage of. However, I have always been of the mind that I'd rather a guilty person walk free than an innocent person not. And there are always consideration of how use of force can affect those who see it, with secondary effects creating, what I imagine, are the more troublesome effects.

Now we attend until someone makes up a dictionary containing an anglophone translation for 'Coq'?

(Yes, this name is a bit ambiguous[1], two interpretations being (a) the symbol of france, a beast famous for making its presence known, as it would, early in the morning, and (b) a shortening of Thierry Coquand — compare CPL and MCPL)

[1] The latin ambi-, meaning 'both', suggests these are the only two interpretations. If one were especially puerile, one might attempt to come up with 2^144 interpretations (much easier if one's name is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23857339 Ireneo Funes) but there would be very little to recommend that beyond being able to write that it was a gross bit ambiguous.

If two Hubbles had been built the same, both could have had the same implementation error [0] that required the first repair flight.

Double jeopardy, I assume. There was already an antitrust case wrt. Microsoft in 1998–2001, so they won't need to defend those issues all over again.
Since the 1970s, some satellites (particularly Soviet satellites) have had some form of electric thruster for stationkeeping; these fire as needed, but spend most of their time off. This has become more common since the 90s.

A small number of probes have used ion thrusters for propulsion. These fire continuously for long periods (months). This is fairly new (late 90s on), and no-one has much experience with it, but NASA and ESA have had a few each.
Lovely effect! Particularly enjoyed how it seems to 'fake' refraction by sampling higher or lower from the background based on the drop shape. The trails squishing back into raindrops to simulate surface tension is also a pretty nice touch, though perhaps a bit over-exaggerated.

One caveat is the merging of the drops sometimes looks quite unnatural, but I'm not sure there's any simple way to represent that as just a couple of textures and a transformation, as real drops would have attractive forces on a molecular level pulling them towards one another once they're bridged, deforming pretty unevenly.
> Clarified that the image server cannot see where the request came from. It may still be able to determine who the request came (ie email address validation) if the image URL has some kind of tracking data in it.

They will know if the mail reached or not, but they will not know if the mail was opened. Because, it is possible that you never open the mail but the image is still downloaded to the fastmail server.
Apps are easy to install... and easy to uninstall. Where's Snapchat these days? What about Vine? What about tumblr?

These companies make apps to try to monetize a community, but communities are fickle and easy to scare off. If I were an investor, I'd value these apps for the computers in their offices and the code their developers write and that's it. Maybe $100mil if you get me on a good day. You can't value them for their reach, because it's not the company or the app that makes them valuable, it's the community.

> The drug is well-known

So are its risks.

> there's the potential for a large success rate

Every treatment has some potential. Funny how there's been a chorus of "eVerY drUg hAS rIsks" to make HCQ seem unexceptional in that regard (even though most drugs don't carry disk of heart problems and blindness) while clinging to the idea that its potential is exceptional. In the case of HCQ for COVID-19 we don't need to guess about potential, because there have been many studies by now and we have empirical evidence of weak effect. It shouldn't be ignored, but it should be far from the top of anyone's list either. It's only getting attention at all because of who keeps touting it.

You talk about being disingenuous, but I think the disingenuous behavior in this thread is the extreme cherry-picking of favorable results while ignoring less favorable results and risks.
Is the human cerebellum (and not the cerebral cortex) what makes us human?
Very good point, thanks.
I'm glad to hear that, but it doesn't really have any context to this article where older developers are being subjected to ageism in the work place.
Yup, leetcode at least is fairly easy to make interviewers competent enough at giving especially if you restrict the problems they can give. Although worst one me and my friends have gotten were system design. Friend got interrupted with questions every 30 seconds, told to just answer them directly and then failed for not elaborating deeply enough on things.
Sure, law enforcement having gone corrupt in a more obvious way is a huge problem. I live in a small town and I'm absolutely careful what I post on local Facebook groups because our neighbor across the street is a cop with radically conservative viewpoints, and I don't want to get targeted. So the idea that there's some kind of left wing "cancellation" system is just ever more BS as the state is currently favoring fascist speech, not antiracist/feminist speech.
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. You're making a reasonable observation. Seems like when it comes to big drug manufacturers, suddenly big business and overgrown capitalists can do no wrong.
The last half of that sentence, which is pretty important, is "and you do something offensive enough to a large enough group of people that they want to ruin your life."

How is HCQ's effects on malaria even remotely relevant? Malaria is caused by a eukaryote parasite and SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus. They're radically different and unless you have some sources demonstrating some sort of biochemical pathway that is common to the two that HCQ affects, I don't see why you would even mention it.

I mean aspirin relives headaches, is part of the gold standard treatment for Kawasaki disease and prevents heart attacks and probably has fewer studies showing that it's not effective in the treatment of COVID-19, but that's no reason to speculate as to whether it'll prove to be another miracle cure.
Interesting idea that isn't fleshed out in enough detail.

I had a similar arrangement like this in the U.S. but it was for 1 year. When applying for the position it was listed as a term appointment and they were up front about the arrangement (same as OP; after a year, if everyone is happy, the term appointment becomes a FTE). The term position had all the same benefits as a FTE, it just had the time cap on it.

It's a bit amusing to see all the "suffer Snapchat's fate" comments here.

Snapchat has recovered from the low point at the end of 2018 when FB/Insta had copied the stories feature and all seemed lost. Their traffic is up, stock is up and revenue is growing quickly again ($1.18B in 2018 -> $1.72B in 2019).
