Oh sure, but I think even Dragon won't make it quite routine. It's cheaper than Apollo per-seat by slightly better than a factor of 2 (Saturn Ib plus the Apollo command module was ~$500 million adjusted for inflation compared to ~220 million for Dragon Crew per launch), but the routineness is not much different than apollo during its prime.

That's why Starship is the most important step. It's like Apollo in scale of the launch, but will be launched much more often. And the vehicle itself can be refueled, which means you can send ~100 people to the surface of the Moon and back instead of just 2-3... And perhaps can send people all the way to Mars. And for maybe a tenth the price of a Dragon run to LEO.

THAT is transformative. Orders of magnitude more ambitious while being an order of magnitude cheaper per mission. Dragon is still just incremental, although probably a necessary step along that road.

Nor will you see Shape::TRIANGLE or the number 8 or Color::RED if you put a CPU under a microscope, but computer programs are capable of reasoning about all of them. What's your point?

Time Travel Simulation Shows Quantum 'Butterfly Effect' Doesn't Exist
I would say the same about the case that you’re making. It’s a vast assumption that produces more inequality than it reduces. It’s a question of nature versus nurture. Our preferences are a function of our expectations and the expectations of us. I agree that the underrepresentation of men in pediatrics, for example, is a function of preferences. But I think those preferences are functions of nurture more than nature. If men were the primary caregivers for children, I expect the representation would be flipped.

Taking today’s society and culture as a given, yeah I agree with you. But I think that’s a problem with the prevalent culture.

I was thinking of using a fediverse instance for my blog but I am unsure whether it's a good idea.
I've definitely heard that as well.

Where it comes from, I think, is that cow body temperatures are about 100°F, and someone assumed that the scale must have been calibrated using 0° and 100° as specific endpoints.

According to Wikipedia, Fahrenheit seems to have chosen 32°F as the reference point for the freezing of water [it's not clear why this number specifically], and found the body temperature of a human to be 64° more than 32°F [i.e., 96°F]--it being much easier to divide a unit distance in 64 = 2⁶ than to divide it in 100ths.

That does bring up an interesting point, though: while we modern people may think of the metric, base-10 system as being much easier to work with since it's all about lopping off digits, trying to divide a unit length into tenths with high precision is actually far more difficult than halves or thirds. This is why pretty much every customary system involves a lot of units that are twice or three times the next smaller unit. The metric system isn't really feasible until you get the dividing engine [1], which doesn't show up until about the 1760s.

This is great. But IMO, the real fundamental aspect of UX, from which all others emerge, is the law of having a great information architecture.

All you need to bring a traditional capsule design down to ~sea level terminal velocity safely is a blunt body with offset CG and the kind of circular ablative heat shield that's been shown over decades to be simple, safe and reliable. You don't even need active control unless you want more precision for hitting your landing target. The biggest risk, assuming your position and velocity were correct at interface, is the parachutes–which is why SpaceX took so much time testing and refining them.

Things can always go wrong, but we know enough about both classes of vehicle to be able to say that the Shuttle's design was in general terms both more complex and more risky.

This is slightly off topic, but the Shuttle was horribly unsafe on the way up as well as on the way down. Using solid rocket boosters with no means to get the crew safely off the stack until they stop burning is, for lack of a better word, demented. The Crew Dragon/Falcon 9 stack offers realistic abort modes from the moment fueling begins until the vehicle reaches its intended orbit.

Spacecraft Made from Ultra Thin Foam Can Reach Proxima Centauri in 185 Years
In a study that is due to be published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, René Heller from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Germany, and colleagues, propose the spacecraft as a precursor to interstellar travel—beyond our own solar system. They estimate a prototype would cost around $1 million, while the launch of an interplanetary mission would be around $10 million.

The spacecraft would be made from aerographite. This is a carbon-based foam that is around 15,000 times more lightweight than aluminium. It is versatile and light enough that it could be used to create solar sails—which harness energy from the sun for propulsion, a process called solar photon pressure.
...
The team found if its shell was just 0.5 millimeters thick and the spacecraft was released from Earth, it could reach Mars in 60 days and Pluto in 4.3 years—less than half the time it took New Horizons. Heller said these spacecraft could travel far faster than any probe ever sent by humans before. "Voyager 1 currently recedes from the Sun with a speed of 17 km/s (10.5mp/s). Solar photon sails made of graphene could, in principle, go beyond 100 km/s (62mps) or even 1000 km/s (620mps).

> The thing about price is: what are you paying to cover a certain square footage? To cover 1600 sqft with a window A/C, you need a 25,000+ BTU unit for $900+. The A/C units in the price range of that evaporative cooler only cover 450–550 sqft.

In societies that rely heavily on window A/Cs, people usually have one per room, and the goal is to cool only that room, so a high BTU unit is not needed. They also couple it with a ceiling fan to get an even temperature.

Used window A/Cs are cheap. I'm trying to sell mine for $75 and no one is buying.

> Not only did competition not end discrimination, there was enough discrimination that the act of not discriminating provided a significant competitive advantage for Townsend-Greenspan. And this is in finance, which is known for being cutthroat. And not just any part of finance, but one where it's PhD economists hiring other PhD economists. This is one of the industries where the people doing the hiring are the most likely to be familiar with both the theoretical models and the empirical research showing that discrimination opens up market opportunities by suppressing wages of some groups. But even that wasn't enough to equalize wages between men and women when Greenspan took over Townsend-Greenspan in 1958 and it still wasn't enough when Greenspan left to become chairman of the Fed in 1987. That's the thing about discrimination. When it's part of a deep-seated belief, it's hard for people to tell that they're discriminating.

> In tech, some people are concerned that increasing diversity will "lower the bar", but in sports, which has a more competitive hiring market than tech, we saw the opposite, increasing diversity raised the level instead of lowering it because it means hiring people on their qualifications instead of on what they look like. I don't disagree with people who say that it would be absurd for tech companies to leave money on the table by not hiring qualified minorities. But this is exactly what we saw in the sports we looked at, where that's even more absurd due to the relative ease of quantifying performance. And yet, for decades, teams left huge amounts of money on the table by favoring white players (and, in the case of hockey, non-French Canadian players) who were, quite simply, less qualified than their peers. The world is an absurd place.

The US needs to pass a Federal law making it personally (not just "corporately") illegal to pay ransom. That would stop them because it would kill the market.

Historically it's how they stop kidnapping in countries where it's common. It REALLY sucks for the first few people after the law is passed, but after that things get better.

I can't speak for every country, but in the EU I think it's likely the case will be thrown out due to the inability to prove that Apple has "substantial market power" with 25% market share.

The Commission considers that low market shares are generally a good proxy for the absence of substantial market power. The Commission's experience suggests that dominance is not likely if the undertaking's market share is below 40 % in the relevant market.

One of the benefits touted by the linked article is the forced offline aspect. The other is the much more restricted scope of apps, which keeps the user focused.

These are technically achievable with an iPad or Pixelbook, but require effort and discipline on the part of the user and on some level directly contradict the design and intended use of both products.

I think there are still significant savings to be had in terms of power usage/battery life. Lower power hardware puts a hard cap on how much any one application can consume and incentivizes efficiency on the part of the developer. The device's screen panel can also be selected for efficiency over density, brightness, color gamut, etc since those aren't priorities.
Whilst paying the ransom is often advisable in specific cases like these, it’s absolutely a bad thing for society as a whole. Seeing successes like this will encourage organised crime to keep doing this, as they know there’s gonna be a big reward. It’s like the prisoners dilemma. If people didn’t pay the ransom, there wouldn’t be ransomware. But people don’t take precautions, so they have to pay the ransom, leading to more ransomware... it’s a vicious cycle

Surely one must actually improve upon the current conventions before dismissing them, no?

Similarly the field is called computer science. Not every convention an engineer follows is simply because "we have yet to find a better one". I can certainly agree that the landscape has and will continue to change over time, but there are some truths when it comes to designing systems.

As for gleaning understanding, tests are useful for learning "what" a system is meant to do, but wholly meaningless when we need to know "how". Often the latter becomes the important bit when we need to extend/modify code.

I agree that there is a balance to be had. Not every LoC or module needs to be perfect. It's often more important (and practical) to choose a suitable level of abstraction, and make sure that the code at that level has an amount of agreed upon standardization.
The brain gut connection is incredible. For years I suffered with terrible IBS where I would almost always get nauseous after eating and would often need to immediately go to the bathroom. I also had a very difficult time gaining weight. I tried all kinds of drugs - prescriptions to treat nausea, malabsorption, even gastroparesis (slow emptying of the stomach). Nothing worked and a few of the prescriptions were nerve wracking. One was the original synthetic THC medicines that came out in the 80’s. Another one called reglan can give you something called Tardive dyskinesia which is horrible and incurable. All to just be able to eat normally and go to a movie afterwards.

I saw a doctor at one of the major medical centers and he knew my issue immediately. After ruling out a few things via tests, he started me on a small dose of very old tricyclic antidepressant called Nortriptyline. 25mg vs the therapeutic dose of ~150-200mg. It almost instantly stopped my issues. They cannot explain why it works, but he says it helps 2/3 of his fast gut patients without the mood effects or other bad side effects that have made them fall out of favor for newer drugs.

Just the idea that a simple pill can affect the gut by affecting the brain (or is it vice versa?) is really profound and tells us how much more we need to understand in the brain gut relationship.

So what's the current optimal solution, as far as precautionary measurements go - for these kinds of scenarios?

The more companies that shell out, the more it's going to happen / motivate these pirates to continue with such rackets.
Let’s look at the rule itself instead of making baseless declarations about what the rule is talking about:

Productivity soars when a computer and its users interact at a pace (<400ms) that ensures that neither has to wait on the other.

Further, from the original study itself:

"When a human being’s command was executed and returned an answer In under 400 milliseconds, it was deemed to exceed the Doherty threshold, and use of such applications were deemed to be “addicting” to users."

My answer has not been returned within 400ms, and I had to wait for the computer, and the site was so un addicting that I exited out after suffering through those animations only 2 times. Thus not a single interpretation of Doherty threshold in its original form has been met. It’s really quite simple.

If acknowledging input rather than returning an answer was all that was needed, the rule would state as such and the old hat engineers making the original computers would have had wired “Enter” up to “bell” and called it a day. Luckily they weren’t nearly as lazy as many in this thread seem to be.

For cases such as the “downloading a 3gb file” that get brought up, I’d consider the “answer” to pressing the download link to be the dialog box saying that a download has started. I would not consider the “answer” to clicking a link to be an animation saying... I’m not sure what; rather, the “answer” to clicking a link is clearly my browser starting to navigate to that link

Side note: just for funzies, I patched vscode to show a loading animation for 400ms before opening new files. After playing around with it for a couple minutes, I can assure you that if I pushed that to master, insiders users would come screaming tomorrow morning and all the “well actually this is in compliance with XXX law because technically...” would not appease them. If you wouldn’t accept it in your editor, why accept it in your websites?
