Stainless strength is ~1600MPA at -200C, Titanium is ~900MPA. Density difference is 8.0g/cc vs. 4.5g/cc for titanium. So at low temp, strength to weight ratio is about even.

Maximum working temp for stainless is ~800C vs ~600C for Titanium, therefore requiring a smaller heat shield. Some parts of the vehicle will require no shielding or insulation.

So strength to weight is a wash at low temp (fully loaded with propellant), stainless is better at high temp (re-entry) and Titanium costs ~10x more. Aluminum is also cheap and easy to work with but will require larger heat shields. SpaceX is making a trade-off between weight, re-usability, development cost, and development speed. I really think between the marginal performance benefits and significant manufacturability challenges Titanium just doesn't bring a lot to the table.

Yes. What you've described is common. Think of all the encounters with racist old people that we tend to laugh off with "she's from a different era". The brush off we do doesn't change the fact that they have grossly outdated and evil views by todays norms. Also think about old people that did change. We don't judge them too harshly for past behavior given it was the norm at the time.

As a personal anecdote; every time i've been slow to adapt to the new societal norms, when i look back it's been me who was wrong, not society. It's just taken me time to realize it. I've learnt to force myself to accept, based on repeated past experience, that it's probably not society that's wrong when the overton window moves, it's probably me. I'm yet to regret adapting my viewpoint even if at the time it irks me somewhat. If you're over 30 think back to the school yard gay insults and compare your own viewpoints now. It's not wrong you've changed is it? Take that lesson into account with todays changes and you won't regret it.

What i'm trying to say here is that fighting against changes to the overton window will cause you to end up as a sterotypical old person with grossly outdated views. There's no need to be this way.
I'm far from a Linux proponent but if I were you I'd try to just add a regular 3.5mm mic and use the TV speakers.

But yeah, much much simpler solution to just install Windows on it.
No they're not. You don't define the overton window, society does. I'm right of the democrats but I'm not far right, that's the society we live in.
Hmm; apart from restaurants, I'm not sure many Houstonians would agree that Houston has "a strong Louisiana influence stretching back generations" — if anything we'd probably say it's the other way around (but then that might be just local boosterism).

As to Hurricane Katrina: We took in about 250K evacuees but only about 40K stayed permanently (which is a bunch, of course). I'd guess most of those were the sort who liked being here better, so they made lemonade out of the lemons that the storm forced upon them. [0]

You edited your post. How about some good faith here?
> Your hypothesis on knowing presumes that we have knowledge at all and that rationality leads to truth.

So your plan is to rely on some extra-rational means of developing this epistemology? That's quite a feat. Though I shudder to ask: how would you know your method leads to the truth?

> Thirdly, these knowing agents are often victims to fallacies, delusions, and severe hallucinations

How would you know? Wouldn't you need to have apprehended a truth by which you could judge something to be a hallucination?
1. You're implying that increased housing density makes it harder to find infrastructure.
This is just false since high density makes infrastructure cheaper per person.

2. Why should it be the developers jobs to build out new infrastructure that isn't directly needed by their building. It's their job to build housing which brings people, those people bring taxes and those taxes pay for upgrades to infrastructure.

This article should be thrown in the trash.

The EXAMPLES for a raidz and raidz2 and raidz3 are mis-aligned in the article. They will obviously have terrible performance, and waste space due to blocks not fitting nicely due to non-standard physical block sizes.

mirror's are easy because you don't have to worry about ASHIFT values, and physical block sizes of devices and making sure all of your blocks can be divided nicely into 128K block sizes.

I get the feeling that the author of the article never actually has ran a properly configured raidz(x) with SLOG and cache devices.

I was absolutely astonished by the civility and depth of understanding people showed for each others' positions when I visited that sub. I think in order to have a successful post you can't just dump on "the opponent", you have to make something everyone from any place on the compass will laugh at, even if it's a bit of a dig. That really incentivizes empathy since you can't laugh _with_ people you disagree with if you don't really understand where they're coming from.
Probably, at least in practice if no critical components in the chain fail due to bugs/exploits and are as secure as intended (excluding the metaphorical "hammer VS fingers" attack).

I think the difference here between you and the poster you replied to is that you're probably correct given certain assumptions but the earlier post also remains correct in a conceptual or theoretical sense, like pure information/security theory

In your opinion.
It's a slippery slope for sure. I think a big concern is that if far-reaching conspiracy theories are allowed to flourish then it could lead to the development of more extremist groups using scapegoating tactics to influence violence on particular groups. I see both sides of the argument.
I thought of the Russia collusion story too. It's pretty much this narrative in reverse: our election was stolen + invented facts. anybody who believes that the pee tape was real ought to be able to make the logical jump to believing that Biden stole the election because there's exactly the same amount of evidence for both.

The US has become so incredibly partisan though, that both sides literally experience different realities. The same people that believe the pee tape is real will scream for censorship of Trump's lies and vice versa.

Note: the below is an anecdote from my life. I have no medical/psychological training past a psy 101 class in uni.

I took a fair amount of MDMA in my late teens/early twenties. Mostly in nightclubs and music festivals. It was cool at the time (great memories and the music 100% was better).

In my late twenties (after 5+ years without MDMA), my partner and I decided to roll after getting some MDMA off the dark web. We went to a bar, which was my past go-to, and had an OK night. We left pretty early and went home.

When we got home, we had 100mg left each and decided to roll in the peace of our house. We both dropped a cap and spent the next 6 hours having very deep conversations and just caressing each other (I especially enjoyed touching her hair).

We didn't have any major issues in our relationship leading up to that night, but we did have a bit of friction over our future plans. After that one night, our relationship was at least 30% more pleasant and we both felt significantly closer to each other.

We still have a great relationship 2 years later. Obviously, the MDMA isn't the only factor, but it helped to dramatically strengthen our feelings towards each other.

One downside was sex. She was very in the mood and I was unable to perform on MDMA.

YMMV.

That's right. I do believe that booting white supremacist content off youtube is good and booting blm content off youtube is bad. The merits of the content are meaningfully different. If people want to argue the white supremacist content is merited, they can certainly try.

The game is already dangerous, even if youtube decides to host literally everything its users upload.
Wasn't this specific story debunked? (Don't shoot me, I'm genuinely asking)
First, I think this is a great comment and worth discussing.

Second, I'm not sure I agree with your assertion that we (entities with the capability and responsibility) should be required to allow something fundamentally dangerous to the nation's integrity to be an amplified message.

The reasoning is that to get to "every human being to get a great education", we need a phenomenal, unified, progressive nation that values education very highly. To get people to willingly interact with people that look different from them, we need a shared belief in the value of diversity. I believe we have evidence that large proportions of the population are readily influenced and manipulated by media, and of course peer-sourced media may have become even more powerful than what was once reputation-based journalism.

Now, I don't think cutting off the amplification of substantially dangerous ideas does fix the underlying problem, but it seems rational to believe it is currently contributing to the problem. It's in the causal chain. To reach the better society you envision, we need the same elements we hope to achieve - great education and humanity and valuing diversity. Basically, it's hoping that the majority of individuals flip a switch and embrace the changes we need, and from there we can continue to propagate the change.

I don't feel like I have the answers, because it's a difficult problem, and I don't believe the trajectory is currently positive. Spreading misinformation is getting easier. Accepting misinformation seems to be growing more prevalent. A once seemingly foregone conclusion of the inevitable ubiquitous acceptance of diversity appears to be tragically stalled. The entities we elected to solve these problems are no longer content to work together in civil discussion and compromise in order to discover and implement potential solutions.

If there's a choice between the band-aid of social media trying to put a finger in the dam to stop the flooding, and an effective remedy to the core problems, I'll gladly choose the remedy, but given the apparent non-existence of such a remedy, I'll begrudgingly accept the band-aid.
There’s a book called CLR via C# that explains the inner workings of the CLR from the standpoint of a C# programmer. I’ve learned more about JIT compilers, static typing, object oriented programming, and language runtimes in general from it than I ever would have expected. I also work in Elixir at my day job, and that book doesn’t describe the BEAM directly, but it gave me a pattern for how to think about how BEAM works that maps better than you might expect.

I fail to see how massive global wealthy companies with immense influence and who by now control a sizable chunk of the places where public life and moreso public discourse takes place are so much different from governments in this context. Other than that we actually elect governments, meaning the mega corps are even less accountable to the general public. The Googles and Facebooks have more power (money, influence, etc) than a lot of actual nation states and their governments already, and they are constantly increasing their influence by means of lobbying (including keeping competitors at arm's length with regulatory capture), directing public discourse and quite often just "doing things" and waiting if anything bad will happen to them - which usually won't.
In Germany it's common for larger, well performing companies to retire older, less productive employees by way of 'Abfindungsprogramm' - programs that offer these employees generous monetary compensation (up to ~2-5 annual salary) in exchange for them retiring early. I know of four people who took such an offer.
Reddit owns reddit.com so they can do whatever they want with it. And indeed, over time, they've added ads and analytics and generally made it more commercial and less user-friendly. This is a subjective opinion as someone who's used reddit off and on for the past 10 years.

My site is owned by me. I expect to be the primary contributor to it after the initial hype dies down, and I would prefer to spend my time contributing to a site that I control.

Privacy policy is at https://100millionbooks.org/privacy/. You can judge it for yourself. I run my own mailing list server and analytics server. There are no trackers on the site. Since launch 3 years ago, there have never been any trackers or ads on any 100 Million Books apps or extensions (not even affiliate links). That's a pretty good track record, and you can bet Hystoria will benefit from all of it.

The vast majority of bot traffic identifies itself though. Search engines from all over that you've never heard of, but they're all showing accurate user agents. I don't attribute every access by far, of course, but for a small website (with peaks to high HN ranks, so it's not unknown or that badly linked) it's manageable to tail -f the access log and see that the traffic you're getting matches what you expect after e.g. posting a link in a chat group. About 99% of traffic in such a case fall within the categories "human-looking user agent visiting this newly created URL that I just shared in the group" and "random bot traffic".
for clarification:

TY isn't propagating content - meaning there are no people who sit in front of a computer and choose what people are seeing in their "Feeds" or what they see when they land on the front page.

That is completely different than an algorithm specifically designed to recommend content to you based on what video's you have watched in the past to maximize your time on the site.

IF you have one, you don't need to the other.

Also, the content you see when you are logged in to google vs. logged out is also completely different for reasons that shouldn't require any elaboration.

I don't think it would really be any more difficult if it were binary. The only real reason to use XML is better integration with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, which is admittedly a compelling reason.

Huh? Look it up again. Freedom of speech doesn't mean you have the right to say whatever you want any place you desire. Referring to the First Amendment, it protects from governmental repercussion. Google's censorship of its users presents no First Amendment implications as no governmental, or state, action is involved.

By censoring what is said on it's platform, Google is exercising it's own free speech. Google has a right to censor dangerous and shitty takes on it's platform. You have zero rights to be heard on Google's platforms.
