That's a whole lot of magical hand-waving right there.

For starters, even at these fantasy numbers, that's still $20,000 per seat. Who needs and/or wants that? Very few people, as Concorde found out, and as Boom will soon learn the same.

Rockets are also tremendously more dangerous and volatile than an airplane. If 1 out of 10,000 launches results in a total loss of the vehicle, and all passengers on board - we're not going to do it. Rockets are simply not a safe mode of transportation - particularly when compared to aviation.

Not to mention, you cannot launch with bad weather - or the possibility of bad weather... if it's too hot, or too cold, etc.

It's just not a realistic option.

On mobile, virtually the only extension that anyone uses is an adblocker. From what I understand, it still works perfectly fine. Mozilla has probably looked at the stats and decided putting a year of work and holding off the new version is not worth it for the 10 users who installed something else.
You cannot "delete" something from a long exposure, how would you think that worked?
16% of the US qualifies. Not a very high threshhold.
No, that's the distinction I'm trying to draw here. Lots of people, like you and me, routinely consume pirated content. It's not always torrents either, tons of unlicensed stuff shows up all the time on youtube. Do you validate all copyrights on all services before you watch?

The people under indictment wanted to have reputation in the scene, so badly that they were willing to commit a lot of crimes that are way more severe than watching pirated content.

I think the takeaway is that if you're torrenting content, you're probably fine. But if you're running a pre with unreleased content, the law takes that pretty seriously.

Then why can I scroll up the page and find multiple instances of people saying it isn't?
But hey, we can't criticize SpaceX UI because we're not astronauts and don't have first hand experience. That's the pushback you're going to get for saying anything against SpaceX's rampant disregard for basic aviation and space UI concepts. Just because Doug and Bob doesn't have problem with the UI/UX, doesn't mean that it isn't terrible.

Another example - the abort handle, instead of being painted with a hazard yellow/black stripes or some blaringly evident color scheme, it is painted matte black just like the rest of the dashboard.

Can you spot it in the center? https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0173/8204/7844/articles/IM...

You can easily mix it up with the handles for support on left and right side when its bumpy in the cockpit.

I can't see any defense to this. It is in a terrible place on the dashboard and on top of that it is painted black to hide it!
There's support for Cap'n Proto _serialization_ in Java, but no support for RPC at present.
I am not sure what sort of light pollution you're experiencing for this not to visible in 'your' skies. I can assure you, I've been camping in a few different locations the past few weeks, the Starlink satellites are consistently visible without magnification.

I was often star gazing and looking for shooting stars and I ended up confirming with a satelite tracker app, that most of the satellites I was spotting were Starlink trajectories.

They are planning to deploy 12k satellites, just let that sink in.
It's an iPhone; you already gave up control. This is just Apple using their control against trackers.
Unless something has changed recently deleting Firefox also deletes anything you ever downloaded with it. Be very careful about this.

Also there is no way to clear the list of downloaded files, there is only a 'delete' button, which if clicked deletes all your downloads. This is particularly annoying if you start downloading something only to find out you already downloaded it (i.e a podcast), the download history tab is the only place to cancel the download, but if you've used firefox for a while the tab is so slow to load that your download has often completed before the tab has loaded.
Yeah an important aspect of supply and demand discussions in housing discourse is that demand is liquid and can be effectively infinite because supply creation is constrained by literal real world factors (ie. how many labourers are there, how fast can home designs be developed and reviewed, etc).

So as I said it actually becomes more difficult to build the more you build.

Vis a vis labour demand there's also competition from non-residential construction projects (eg. Amazon building a big warehouse somewhere, dam construction, bridge construction etc).

Seconding that Ubiquiti Edgerouter if you want a mostly GUI guided config. They're solid enough for gigabit internet in the better models and the builtin firewall and tunneling options are good enough for most purposes -- the recent releases also let you install Wireguard, which is getting to be the preferred low-effort VPN solution for most platforms if you have a limited set of remote clients.

PFSense or OPNSense, which are based on FreeBSD, are also great if you have any remotely modern spare x64 computer lying around with two network ports.

IPv4 is purely outbound NAT, IPv6 I have several subnets carved off that will allow IPSEC traffic to certain local hosts for some of my remote office setup but I've mostly switched to using Wireguard from basically everything that hits the Edgerouter and drops me onto a private v4 and real V6 space.

Works great for my phone and laptops from basically anywhere and tunnels all my traffic back to my homelab and then out to the internet again. I have Wireguard uses UDP port 443 on v4/v6, which now that QUIC is common enough can tunnel out of every network I've tried, even normally hyper-anal corporate ones.

Locally I have a Microtik switch with 10G fiber between my work machines and gigabit ethernet to the rest of the house, then a few Ubiquiti Unifi "semi-pro" APs for the house and back yard.

Primary storage host is running FreeBSD serving iSCSI from local zfs raid with consumer NVME SSDs as cache on top of generic and easily replaceable SATA drives. I still have this IPV6 accessible with IPSEC so I can basically treat it like local storage from all over the world, but I'll probably turn that off now that I'm using wireguard nearly all the time (IPSEC is faster since the tiny EdgeRouter processor isn't having to handle it).

It's pretty neat being basically "in your home office" from almost anywhere with decent internet.
Thank you for sharing that. I understand completely.

> My issue with Brutalism is that it seems to evoke a sense of helplessness of the individual against the sheer size of the State. No wonder it was so popular in totalitarian regimes.

You have this backwards. Brutalism was popular in the Soviet Union because it is austere, symbolizing equality and utilitarianism. Back in the early days, brutalism was actually seen as progressive. It’s association with totalitarianism is a result of western propaganda and the failures of the soviet bureaucracy.

> I often think of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. A city literally built in the middle of nowhere and with virtually no sidewalks, making it incredibly costly for individuals to reach it and organize themselves to protest against the government. Its streets literally have no name⁰. Imagine living on SHS W2 or SEN L1!

Basically none of this is related to brutalism. What you are describing is a failed attempt at new urbansim. Brasilia is divided into "superblocks", which are essentially self-contained communities with all required services in the center. This design was similar to soviet urban planning at the time, though the superblocks were much bigger (and less successful) in Brasilia. This design ultimately resulted in large boulevards and car centric transportation, defeating its initial goals

My vision of an alternate app store still involves largely adhering to Apples rules for app approval. Except that an alternate store could have a different commission structure and in-store "experience".

For example, an alternate store could differentiate on search features, curation, free trials, ratings systems, bundles, periodic sales, developer interaction, developer support and (optionally of course) social recommendations. Exclusivity could even be forbidden.

In this scenario, Apple could still set the rules for App approval (with some oversight) and earn a fair commission (%5 to %10?) on transactions. It would still be profitable for Apple but encourage innovation and competition in the actual "stores".
You're delusional if you think individual people aren't threats to governments of multi-billion dollar corporations.

There are people with information that no one wants leaked because the information is incriminating without proper context or someone may have made a massive mistake and not known what the consequences were at the time. There are people all over the place that have to make decisions where both choices might be illegal.

There are powerful CEOs and politicians who are afraid of being outed for not being what they say they are. Some of them are simply paranoid that they will be outed as incompetent. You'd be shocked at how many CEOs are terrified of people finding out they just got lucky and applied for the right jobs at the right times. They walk around in complete and total fear that someone will find out they don't know a single thing about how their company is run or that they are banging half the people in their company.

There are startups that are essentially cults and the founders use cult tactics in order to keep an entourage of employees who are loyal to the point that they will sacrifice their dignity and personal safety for the company. If you don't believe in the founder and the company they purge you because they are afraid someone is going to figure out their business may border on illegality. These guys do the same thing, their employees run around harassing anyone who doesn't believe in their company and the founder.

This happens all the time.

uBlock Origin can filter HTML elements. That includes script tags. It can replace scripts when blocking them breaks pages. Safari content blockers can't work as well.
Not the OP but I think neediness is more than that. It's a mismatch between how much you someone need other people for their life satisfaction and fulfillment and how much that same person is willing to invest in the relationship.

So not all people who believe that other people are essential to their life satisfaction and fulfillment are necessarily needy, the ones who are are those who do not give back...

I partially learnt Vim some 20 years ago, but at some point stopped taking in new commands (possibly for lack of repetitive use), and am stuck in a sort of 'good enough' zone, but still awkward for certain things; the ctrl-c/v thing always throws me as I use windows primarily, gvim makes it easy to cheat using the GUI, so I do. Macros are amazing, but I feel there are probably easier ways of achieving most of the things I use them for (they, and regex search/replace are most if what I use Vim for outside of writing code).
That brings to mind one crank concept for bureaucratic reform of explicitly embedded purpose formatted laws to slow the spread of fire and perhaps "generally accepted solutions" added after testing to skip design approval.

Thus you could use setbacks as firebreaks, firewalls, or say something exotic like aerogel barricades.

> Since Android/iOS already have sandboxing and per-app permissions, the only benefit to having a single distributor is the potential of having that application scanned for malware...

Well, if a malicious app store application existed, I'd imagine it would work via social engineering and sending the user a different package than the user wanted. The user will be convinced to override the sandboxing, e.g. by giving permissions to install a 'new version of WhatApp', but the store app will actually be installing something else with the given permissions. That's a bit easier compared to other apps where the user doesn't expect to install anything. (Perhaps I'm missing a clever way to deal with these possibilities?)

I don't think that the risk requires banning 3rd party app stores. In practice we see the risk is very low. I have little worry about F-Droid, and I'm sure that the Samsung/Amazon stores are as secure as Apple/Google. But I think a bit of warning is justified.

>True that Steam is kind of questionable when it comes to security, but that's more the fault of the desktop operating systems which don't have sandboxing built-in.

Debians/Ubuntus have (optional) AppArmor, and latest Windows 10 Pro+ has an sandbox which will work with Win32 apps. It's starting to become built-in, even if not yet. It'd would still take a lot of work.
Close enough. I have ample pique to spread among multiple parties who have a hand in this.
It's not particularly hard to get much higher leverage using futures. Leveraged ETFs don't go above 3x, so they're kind of middle of the road between margin accounts (2x) and futures (10-20x). Or with forex trading, retail investors can get like (50-400x).

In terms of risk, it's important to consider the volatility of the underlying and the leverage ratio.

New home owners are taking on massive leverage on a new home purchase, but usually the low volatility of real estate protects them from too much pain.

Whether or not the design elements there can be considered 'decorations' is subjective. It is much cleaner, automation took over most 'boring' things which required a myriad of buttons on the F-15. Like engine startup, it's a single button. The F-18 already improves on that.

Or even an F-35. https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oOmPM403VOo/XLiqWC0ubTI/AAAAAAAAB...

I could pretty much do the F-35 (assuming that's a real image) with this library, given some CSS and font tweaking. Only the animations would be different. And serious software can have animations if it helps enhance understanding.
Oh wait is it complete?! I need to check that out.
I agree that some of the examples GP gave don't quite fit, but their insight about consumer protection laws is key.

Say a consumer protection law that prohibits an appliance company from selling me a cheap heater that isn't up to code. That law restricts the appliance company's freedom, but it also restricts my freedom to contract with the appliance company. The law is restricting my freedom to protect me.

(Personally, I'm fond of Matt Levine's "stupid investment license" proposal, but I would not be in favor of an "unsafe heater" license)

For networking related problems you can deterministically control failures from the test using something like Toxiproxy. This can be especially useful if you’re working out a particular bug (e.g. gracefully handling a split brain situation or something).

A more general approach would be to just run your happy path tests while wrecking the environment (e.g. randomly killing instances, adding latency, dropping packets, whatever).

I’ve found that the latter often uncovers problems that you can use the former to solve.

Testing these sort of things with unit tests can work, but I’m more confident in tests that run on a ‘real’ networking stack, instead of e.g. mocking a socket timeout exception.

Executive MBAs are accredited, yes. And, although parent exaggerates a bit, their admissions standards are pretty close to "can you pay".

IMO: A real MBA with an emphasis on finance probably should count as sufficient education. An executive MBA definitely should not. Although a program with the same structure as an executive MBA but exclusively focused on finance, accounting, and contracts might be reasonable.

We respected it in our ad pixel server. DNTs didn't get tracked, just returned 200 blank, no logs generated. It didn't matter, though, in the end. Didn't get us positive/negative attention, users didn't really care, browsers stopped supporting it, and then it was just dead code.

Left the guard clause in, in the end, because of some misguided need to "do the right thing". It's just dead code. I'd just get rid of it now.

Despite online Internet attention, users don't care about this stuff so long as it's wicked fast (response times < 20 ms) and doesn't interfere with the thing they want. They want the thing it enables and they'll happily pay the price.

People online who talk about all this stuff visit whacky sites, get angry at being infected with god knows what from some shit Forbes.com or some crap or some porno site and then flip out at "Google for tracking me" or some crap.

Glad I'm not in that industry anymore. No one outside it knows what it does or enables.
I'm not part of "the Haskell community", just a random hobbyist. You seem to have invented some sort of persecution scenario that I'm pretty sure doesn't exist.

> Being lazy by default makes it very difficult to reason about Haskell performance really fast.

I think this is a ~complete non-issue mostly brought up by people who haven't actually used Haskell much at all.

> practical matters like, you know, building softwares rather than lenses library.

This is the classic completely idiotic "haskell isn't practical" argument. Let me tell you what's not practical: not having multithreading. Not having a well-functioning asynchronous programming system (Async sucks).

Also, OCaml does have a clone of Lens, but it was only written in the last year. Another example of how OCaml is very far behind Haskell in terms of development/production readiness.

This is the exact opposite of my thinking.

I want my experiments to happen on a remote server I don't care about...not on my home network that I really don't want to compromise/open up by accidentally misconfiguring something.

VPS are cheap - I'm paying like 7 bucks for a 16 gig / 4vcore. (Admittedly a once off deal). 7 bucks to have the blast radius of my networking noobness somewhere else seems like a bargain.

Concorde didn't fly over London at supersonic speeds, and I doubt it often flew over London a cruise altitudes.

The problem with Concorde on approach/departure was largely a function of its engines, rather than speed. https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/1973-07-18/debates/427... shows it was comparable to slightly older aircraft at the time of introduction (VC10, B707, DC8) but notably louder than what was arguably its biggest competitor (747-200). In later years, continued improvements in aircraft noise pollution meant the margin between Concorde and other aircraft operating out of LHR just grew larger and larger.
