>They aren't even comparable.

It is true. SpaceX has delivered astronauts to and from the space station, whereas Blue Origin has yet to achieve a single orbital flight. They are not comparable at all.
Not to ruin you but try https://i.reddit.com
I don't fully understand the negativity around BO. They haven't gone to orbit yet, and they don't run everything they do as a PR campaign the way that SpaceX does, but getting a rocket to orbit isn't that big of a deal these days.

We first achieved orbital flight over 50 years ago, and many different groups have achieved the same since then. Given Bezos' deep pockets, why would BO fail where so many other have succeeded in launching payloads to orbit?

They appear to be making steady progress, both on reusability and on their BE-4 engine. There doesn't appear to be any real insurmountable obstacles between where they are today and orbital flight.

I'm not saying they will absolutely succeed, but their success feels more like a when than an if unless Bezos decides to pull the plug for some reason. Whether they can do this by 2026 is of course a different matter.
Yep. Murtha brought in tons of pork barrel spending in the Johnstown, PA area. So similar situation there.
Looks good, good luck with it!

I know for me I'd get pretty bored with doing just one thing (here, boxing, Peloton bike riding, etc.), even if the online "experience" varies things.

Also, while it's good for burning calories, it's just hitting (har!) one set of muscles. I'm doing a broad range of exercises through a streaming video service, including various weights/resistance training, and a yoga/tai-chi/pilates class that's really improved my balance.

So, for me, variety is something to shoot for.

Congratulations on the successful kickstarter!
>Motivation: Can there be in-universe traversable wormholes which can never be time machines?

There was a paper(?) that noted that specific configurations of wormholes (basically tree shaped, no loops) do not allow time travel. I think it or another paper postulated some mechanism for wormholes collapsing if they violate that property.
After years of squirreling away my cash like someone who spent their entire 20's working minimum wage jobs or in school I finally bought into some index funds. I too don't know what to do with my money - you can't save it (even in less crazy times it's eaten up by inflation), you can't buy bonds right now, so I said to hell with it, I'm not going to time the market, I'm just going to buy in to funds that try to match the S&P and hope that by the time I need it the market will be in a better place than it is today. I don't know what else you can do if you want to try and plan to have money 20 years out.

I'm sure others will have more nuanced options, and I look forward to hearing about them.

Hi HN,

You may have seen our previous Show HN [1] for Splitgraph, a tool to build, query and share PostgreSQL database snapshots. Today we are launching our first iteration of the service we’re building around that core code.

We’re calling Splitgraph a “Data Delivery Network” (DDN). It’s an integrated data catalog and distributed SQL caching proxy, built on the PostgreSQL wire protocol, with value-adds like access control and query rewriting. It can forward SQL queries from existing SQL clients to live upstream data sources, or to versioned data snapshots known as "data images" (including JOINs across sources).

For example, the public instance at Splitgraph.com indexes 40k+ public datasets and lets you query them directly from your existing SQL client or BI tool, without needing to install anything else. You can also consume Splitgraph data through a REST API powered by PostgREST, and you can build data images with `sgr` and push them to Splitgraph (e.g. it’s really easy to import a CSV, turn it into an image, and push to Splitgraph).

The public endpoint is at `postgresql://data.splitgraph.com:5432/ddn` and we provide instructions on getting credentials and connecting with a lot of popular clients like DBeaver/psql/pgcli/Google Data Studio, as well as some sample queries (you can jump right in at www.splitgraph.com/connect).

In the near future, we're planning to add more pluggable upstream data sources to public/self-hosted Splitgraph, letting it proxy to data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, etc.) and third-party SaaS APIs (Salesforce, Google Analytics, etc). As a proxy, we’re well positioned to add services on top like caching, granular access control, firewalling, query rewriting and scheduled queries. As a catalog, we have a natural UI to implement management of upstreams (e.g. sharing access to a table or view is as easy as clicking “share”).

We think there is demand for a data catalog, and we think combining it with a SQL access endpoint opens a lot of opportunities. In particular, we expect access control over disparate data sources to be a leading use case. Companies are rarely able to keep all their data in just one warehouse, for one reason or another, so adding an aggregation layer on top can make sense in some scenarios.

We have a blog post [2] where we detail our vision for it.

Hope you try it out and would love to hear any feedback!

If you think you could use Splitgraph at your company, we’re in the midst of developing a Private Cloud product and would love to talk. Reach out at miles@splitgraph.com (chatmasta on HN) and artjoms@splitgraph.com (mildbyte on HN).

I'd be very nervous about real estate right now. It requires a lot of speculation about long-time remote work and how cities are going to come out of this. That said, it's something I'd keep my eye on.

I agree gold has had a good run up but the adviser on my managed account just sold the gold position.

You can certainly have (and probably should have) some amount in bonds, etc. but the returns will indeed be pretty low. Unless you're super-pessimistic to the point where you just want to put everything under your mattress, it's hard not to have at least a fairly significant share in equities.
A Woman’s Reproductive Tract Can Weed Out Unwanted Sperm
Pretty much, yes. It's not "required" required, but in order to use the stdlibrary (i.e. use Unicode chars) you need to use Emacs and Emacs mode is extremely useful to develop Agda code. You can still compile and type check using `agda` binary but that's pretty much the only thing you can do.
Who hurt you?

This project is meant to make developers more efficient and support them in migrating projects to TypeScript. The entire point of TypeScript is to make developers more efficient, too, through clear structuring, types and assistance through its toolchain.

Static typing does not protect you from integrity issues. However, it allows you to extend existing code with confidence.

I'm not sure if you work in a team, but your general attitude isn't exactly conducive to a constructive, open and efficient working environment.

Greater analytics and no ad-blocking. I took a quick look at the Android app permisions

Identity: add or remove accounts; find accounts on the device

Contacts: find accounts on the device

Other: use accounts on the device; toggle sync on and off; run at startup; read Google service configuration; draw over other apps

(I deleted a lot of stuff but left the things that Reddit might find more useful). Compare that to the information about the user Reddit would have via a web login.
> Congress put on bandannas and robbed the tax payers of about $18,000 each.

On average, sure. But people who don’t earn much money aren’t going to be responsible for that bill because they pay no (or almost no) income tax.
"Trash" is completely subjective. And Reddit's resounding success demonstrates that most people disagree with you.
This article is talking specifically about corporate policy. It is good to have solid corporate policy, but not so good if it was written without proper forethought, and even worse if they do not have a mechanism to change it.

I work in this arena, in the public sector, and COVID brought massive fast changes to policy. But the public sector also already has mechanisms in place to regularly change it - regular board and city council meetings, specifically. And most organizations have a specific cadence on which they review and update their policies.

But the corporate world varies - sometimes the board sets policy, sometimes the execs, sometimes a compliance officer. Whomever it is, they need to not just write policy once and forget it - they need to treat it as a living body of documents, responsive to changes in their environment. Some companies are good at this, some are not.

I don't buy the conclusion of the article, though, that the leaders don't know enough to make decisions and policy becomes a way to entrench arbitrary rules and escape blame. Risk management and compliance are not about making life easy for the individual contributors. They are about looking at big picture risks such as litigation, regulatory compliance, and business continuity. They then set policy to be sure that well-meaning people who don't have visibility into those high-level concerns don't just make up their own rules. Yes, it puts some pain on us workers. But reduces risk. It is their job to choose those trade-offs.

That being said, not everyone is good at it, and there does need to be solid communication in the organization to let them know what problems a policy causes, so they can decide whether or not to adjust it. There also should be a communication path for people to ask why a policy exists, and start a dialogue about it.
Wow I didn't even realize this is what they were doing. I've been so confused every time somebody sends me a Reddit link in the last year.

The "top" comment always seemed to be referencing some discussion or context I didn't have, and I thought there was always an inside joke I simply didn't understand...
I recently bought a very cheap 4K RCA tv that has zero smart features. No networking at all. There is an undocumented USB port but if you plug a USB drive into it, it can browse the file system but can't play anything. It was on the very low end of the price range for a tv of its size and resolution. Maybe that's where to look. Time will tell how well it holds up but it's lasted six months so far.
Well, at least two of these problems have been solved already and just need to be implemented.

For example, my cheap mirrorless cameras solves two of the problems on the list. It's phase detection sensors can both do depth estimation and position estimation quite rapidly in order to make the tracking autofocus systems work (autofocusing is really calculating the distance between object and lens).

You would really just have to do a bit of integration, it's really a solved problem already.
It is focused on producing static (or mostly static) binaries. Obviously not everything can be in the sandbox, but in the Bazel world, it takes over the build of all your dependencies (as it is also a package overlay).

>Open source and science is a gift economy where everyone contributes what they can afford, and a growing snowball of ideas

This doesn't work with pharma. It sort of works for early compound discovery/development, but not for the seriously expensive work: the process chemistry, the animal studies, the human trials, and if all goes well, the costs associated with facing off against adversarial regulatory agencies.
I'm interested in this as well, as a long-time Cortex/STM32 user. The barrier for me historically in exploring alternative languages/toolchains (especially in a work context) has always been uncertainty around tooling and peripheral support. Questions like:

- Am I going to get a network stack with this, and will it be as battle-tested as lwIP? What about support for USB, CANopen, etc? Will the USB stack look like it's working on a quick test but then have weird intermittent failures in the field? (hello stdperiph)

- Am I going to have a sane story for bootloading and in-system programming with this platform?

- What is debugging/logging going to look like with this platform? Will I be able to use tools like Tracealyzer without doing a ton of integration work myself? Is something that looks like GDB/OpenOCD with a standard JTAG dongle going to more or less just work?

- Quite apart from barriers in learning the new language itself, will it be a pain to get the tools set up for other developers on my team? Will people be building stuff from source and/or will I have to do packaging work?

Admittedly, some of these don't have great answers in the gnuarm world either, but to the extent that I've hacked around them already, it's a sunk cost. Anyway, I say all this not to be a downer, but to open a discussion about these kinds of issues and whether others have been impacted-by or have overcome them.
Other articles are saying that the US is sitting on a foreclosure timebomb. Not sure if real estate is safer than index funds right now..
It does, via https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_foreign_cc, but it's not always the best idea.
I wouldn't assume everything is doing poorly. There are big winners and big losers in this economy, and the S&P 500 happens to be constituted primarily of the winners. Almost anything digital right now is gold.

There's also the fact that many companies that are doing well right now are keeping quiet about it. I know from personal experience at the company I work for (fintech midsized startup) that executives are very careful not to be openly positive about benefiting from the pandemic. Publicly admitting that you profitted by a global pandemic and an economic recession is in poor taste, and companies are rightly tentative about doing so.

From my work I've seen anything adtech related explode. Publishers or aggregators whose primary revenue stream is online advertising income are growing at incredible rates. Assuming that everyone is hurting because physical businesses are hurting is a huge mistake.

Additionally, as many analysts have been saying, the pandemics primary effect so far has been to accelerate existing trends, not create new ones. We're seeing a fast-foward in economic transition. Companies that were well positioned before the pandemic for the economy of the future (automation, digital) are doing swimmingly.
No, I, am, not.

Sounds interesting. I've heard of some of the stuff on this subject but I'm probably not familiar with all the details or examples. Maybe I will check it out.

Video game console are general computing devices. Their input & output tends to be limited (no keyboard nor mouse, at least by default), but they still run arbitrary programs (namely, any game).

One major, technical differences from PCs, is the uniformity of the hardware. This is becoming less true, but consoles traditionally have fixed hardware. No "works on my machine" problems on consoles. This also guarantees stable performance characteristics, that developers can optimise for. (This is less true now that consoles are resembling PCs more and more internally).

This is even more visible on older consoles: take an N64 (PS2), plug in a cartridge (insert a CD), and voilà you have your game, completely separated from any other program. Perhaps one of those programs could be GNU/Linux, but the default would still to be running on the bare metal, without interference from other programs. Quite unlike the PC there.

Incidentally, I could see a new game console solve the Thirty Million Lines Problem. https://caseymuratori.com/blog_0031 Fixed, powerful hardware with a well defined interface could possibly trigger the OS competition that is so sorely lacking rights now: Windows, Linux, MacOS, IOS, Android, and if you pick a particular niche (Server, Mobile, Desktop), you'd rarely see more than 2 significant contenders.
Sure, but there doesn't appear to be anything intrinsic to BO that lends itself a particular disadvantage to doing "the hard thing".

They appear to have the requisite resources & staff, so predicting that they will never do "the hard thing" seems a bit like spiking the football after the first quarter.
If only they cared. It’s pretty clear they’re not optimizing for user experience.
In the case you mentioned (top of HN with 10,000 visitors), each user would be loading the full webapp for the first time, so I think caching would be mostly irrelevant.
The “ad” itself wouldn’t be so frustrating if it actually worked! For the last year or so, clicking open in reddit opens the app store even though i have the app. i also prefer the apollo client, so either way this ad should be something i can remove.
I used to really enjoy reading responses on Quora, but at some point, it seems to have devolved into pretty low quality spam and self-promotion.
You don't need to poll the DOM yourself. Puppeteer's page.waitForSelector() does this for you. You can specify a timeout of how long to wait.
Those kind of “nagifications” are among my biggest pet peeves on the modern internet. Almost every social platform these days abuses the notifications icon to show you a bunch of not-actually-a-notification garbage to boost your engagement. LinkedIn is especially egregious in this regard.
This is highly opinionated, but I have been using and teaching how to use Selenium and Appium for a few years so that is unavoidable :) I would say the pros of Puppeteer & Playwright:

- generally higher speed

- higher reliability (specifically lower base false-positive rate)

These are mainly due to architectural choices (less moving parts between script and browser).

That being said, Selenium has been the open-source standard in cross-browser testing for a long time now, and is more polished and feature-rich. Also, multi-language support makes it an easier choice for non-JS teams. I would suggest a quick hands-on POC if you want to use these tools in a project.
Just from a very theoretical level, low interest rates means the net present value (NPV) of companies, ie their stock prices, are weighted more heavily to future earnings and not just this year's earnings. So if the market is pricing in some return to normalcy, even if it's a year or two out, you wouldn't expect to see much of a hit. Assuming companies can get from here to there without going bankrupt, something the government has been very explicit about helping with by providing cheap/free funds.

Edit: Plus there's FAAMG driving the S&P500 up, who for obvious reasons are doing very well right now.
That and the fact that they somehow make video playback continually less reliable somehow.

It isn't the budgets, it's the scope (at least in IT/computing). In the last decade(s) there has been a move away from "blue sky" research to focusing on ideas that can be implemented in short timeframes like one year or less. "Little r, Big D" it's sometimes called. Places that used to fund core research in higher risk sectors have scaled back to focus on things that can be transitioned into products within 1-2 years.
>Nobody really cares about Oracle and its corporate image outside of the software industry

Quite a few non-tech corporations that use their products care. I consult for Fortune 2000 companies and "getting off Oracle" is probably a top 3 IT priority for most of them.

That aside, I can't think of any logical reason why Oracle would even want to buy them. It would be like Google buying a dry cleaning chain. There's no synergy whatsoever.
Where can I find more of these?
I'm very much a dilettante but a piano teacher taught me a few boogie woogie songs when I was in middle school. That planted a seed that has turned into a lifelong love for the music of New Orleans, which is essentially the source and pulse of American music, full stop.

A benefit of exploring this music is that while the tradition is both deep and broad it's also very much alive, and there are tons of ways to get into it. A great start is to listen to WWOZ (wwozy.org) and to google all the artists that you like. I could do that all day if it paid.
Yes yes yes! Super excited for this, but... Make sure you get the balance between game and fitness program right. I tried the zombie run audio program a few years ago and didn't like it, it was just a regular fitness class but they would make zombie noises and yell at you to run harder bEcAuSe ThE zOmBiEs ArE cOmInG.

I want to play a game that has a side-effect of a fitness program. I'm not looking for a cut beach bod, I'm just looking to get mobile and get my heart rate up; I want a slightly more involved Wii Sports.

If it gets too fitness-y, I'm just going to pursue a proper fitness program and not waste my time with kitschy and campy video game facades.
