Both Rocket Lab and Blue Origin are currently ahead of China in developing re-usable rocket technology.

Blue Origin is admittedly slower than China in developing rocket technology (they haven't even reached orbit yet), but they have a good engine and the New Sheppard has mastered low-velocity vertical takeoff and landing.

Rockets designed in China are blocked from accessing the global launch vehicle market due to satellites containing ITAR restricted components (which is virtually all of them). The reason for this is to curtail China's military acquiring dual-use satellite technology, gaining capital to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles and reducing risk of nefarious actions on the satellites themselves.

China say they'll master first stage re-usability of a medium-lift launch vehicle by 2025. For those of use who want to see an actual space race, let's hope this is a case of "under promise and over-deliver", because that's a Blue Origin level schedule.

I'm also skeptical that chat is worth as much as I'd once thought. If it's not paired with an enterprise solution (Slack, Teams, Hangouts/Allo/Meet/Whatever), it has to make money on ads or premium features (emotes, stickers, "server boosts").

Google and Facebook are about to get reamed by the DOJ for anti-competitive practices, and I'll wager that privacy is one of the talking points. If you can't use chat to enhance your advertising moat, what then? Sticker sales can't amount to that much, and ads without purchase intent or social graph knowledge are pretty low value.

I'm curious what people's thoughts are.
Offering inexpensive paid plans to store conversation and file sharing history as a paid feature instead of for free.

Something like whatsapp's original plan of $1/user/yr, except for you actually get something out of it.

Another method would be offering corporate/enterprise support plans for anyone using it in a business setting or as a base for app development.

Strawman. Also, the rich are not a minority. they project so much power that to call them a minority is almost racist.

It isn't about envy. I don't want everyone to have luxury cars and steak dinners every night. But I also don't think we should be subsidizing wal-mart, amazon, megacorps who continually rape our country and avoid taxes. We don't need to tax that much more to help balance the scales.

Of course, we can keep ignoring it. And then there will be blood. Look at history - it will come.
Stan is one of those technologies I keep finding is actually powering the more 'friendly' interfaces I run to one off jobs - especially in the mcmc world. Every so often I think I'll spend some time to learn stan proper but it's such an all-encompassing project that I get intimidated and stick to the derivatives. My loss!

Bravo to the team behind it and for making and supporting such a powerful tool!
I use a paper notebook for rough notes. My use is for recording exploratory thinking while solving (coding) problems and early thoughts of tasks to do that I might refine and document in a digital tool such as Notion etc.

I could just as easily use a markdown file or similar for it, but I find writing quick and fairly effortless and I really enjoy using a nice combination of fountain pen and quality pad. It can also be nice to have something I can look at from time to time that isn't emitting light and causing eye strain.

The main difference is that the top 10% like software engineers and doctors earn much less and the bottom 50% earn more. So most people posting at HN would be much poorer while the top 0.1% are still very rich in Europe.
Yep. I use a dedicated paper notebook for journaling. Once or twice a month I spend like 30 minutes or an hour writing down what’s been going on, what’s on my mind, what I’m working towards. Usually I do this while watching some low effort tv show.
This is a strawman. It's not impossible to tax people.
If you are referring to upper limits on password trials enforced by chips such as TPM, T2 or those in Yubikeys, these are software and hardware — but not fundamental algorithmic — limits.

I wouldn't say an HSM such as a Yubikey is secure against a government agency. But apart from that, you can take out the hard drive and deal directly with random blubs, bypassing software limits.

Of course these measures are effective against the majority of the attackers, but we are talking about FBI here.
I think the don't-use-tables argument is from way before mobile devices were something web developers cared about. I recall it as being mostly about semantics, i.e. tables should only be used for tabular data, not setting up the layout of your entire page.
I've dabbled in Stan, and it's really good and state of the art for Bayesian inference. Starting using Stan is a bit difficult though, as it has a C like programming language that is difficult to master initially. Especially since statistics is usually done in languages like R, so the learning curve is a bit steep for beginners.

I've personally liked PyMC for simple models and relative ease of inference, as it's more integrated with the Python language. That being said, if you want the latest in inference methods and statistical alchemy, Stan is the place to go.

Not btrfs and anecdotal but fedora 33 / 5.8 kernel / default gnome was unusable for me on amd r5 3500U. Headphone microphone didn’t work. Bluetooth ear phones and mic didn’t work. USB headphone microphone worked though. Sure enough most of the issues were resolved by 5.9 but I can no longer recommend Linux on the desktop.
I can second this recommendation. Mapy.cz is especially awesome for me as I live in the Czech Republic. It has more updated satellite imagery for the CZ than Google, and shows all the hiking trails quite nicely. And the download function works pretty painlessly.

What sort of consiparcy theories?

This is par for the course in any downturn. Those who've got assets gain more assets. Power in a capitalist society comes from assests, but assests are not taxed so the piles just keep getting bigger with little constraint. That is the fundamental problem in my opinion.

I'd have thought that commentary on asset consolidation was acceptable in a thread on consolidation, but OK.
I haven't used Xfce in a long time, but it will always have a soft spot in my heart. It kept my computer usable when I was a teenager, and was the first open source project I contributed to (translations). Congrats to the Xfce team on the new release, and on having hit their stride again, it seems, with the move to GitLab.
The parent commenter is wrong. Banks get a percentage cut of the funds raised. They lose by getting the price wrong in either direction. If the IPO is underpriced the bookrunner leaves money on the table for both the company, and by extension themselves.

Speak with the other investor, negotiate a buyout or negotiate exit terms and equity. I'm guessing you'd own 10% if you left after one year and left the rest unvested. You may need to risk a small chance of owning 40% of nothing to get this fair settlement. It's worth it.

The worst thing you can do is stay. Any compromises you make for the greater good in hopes of getting past this and putting it behind you are likely to come back to bite you 9 out of 10 times. Cofounder conflict doesn't go away so easily.
Hi. Here are the HN guidelines:

I draw your attention to the following one in particular:

Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
No. The article even says this; US deaths (unlike most other places) climb every year:

U.S. deaths increase most years, so some annual rise in fatalities is expected. But the 2020 numbers amount to a jump of about 15%, and could go higher once all the deaths from this month are counted.

One thing the article doesn't say is the size of the usual 'expected' increase, but if I recall correctly it's about 2%. So a 15% jump would be large.

The big question is why is the US so much more badly affected than other places. Sweden, which famously did very little, is on track to see a small increase of perhaps 2%-3% this year over 2018, or just a few thousand deaths, almost not noticeable on the scale of a country.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/525353/sweden-number-of-...

NB: 2019 in Sweden was the least deadly year for a decade which is one reason comparisons of Sweden vs Norway etc are misleading: the question is not "why did Sweden have higher deaths than Norway in 2020" because it would have done anyway, simply due to catching up from 2019. The question is "why is 2020 going to be a normal year in so many countries but not the USA"?

My current password is a bit longer than 10 chars and I wonder if I should upgrade it.
Yes and no. The "flex" display model was developed by Mozilla all the way back when they crated XUL for defining GUI's.

So this part of the spec was specifically developed for GUI's rather than documents.
You are taking your dog for a walk off leash and feel that others who are walking their dogs ought to do something to ensure you dog does not run off? Otherwise they don't understand the issue?

I assumed "off leash" because if he can run off even when on a leash, then it's worse than I imagined.
Well the magnitude of offense is of course completely different, but counterfeiting bills is just a form of copyright infringement.
> They're all different ways of doing the same thing. Of course there could be a benefit for cases where you have a limited stack size. The author says that there's no need to do this in Haskell, because the stack is allocated on the heap, but I still wonder what the constant factor overhead of doing this with a linked list plus data types is over simple recursive function calls.

When you use (non-tail) recursive function calls, your memory will grow faster than with an explicitly managed stack, because now at each recursion level not only will you store all the things you would store in the explicitly managed stack, but also all the other variables and some intermediate values. Explicitly managed stack, that is implemented efficiently (i.e. mostly contiguous memory, not a linked list like in the example given), will give you better performance and will be easier to debug, because now you can query its size and identify where in the program you're using a given amount of memory; in the debugger you can inspect it as a whole in a multitude of ways (as opposed to the black box of a function where you'll only inspect one recursion level at a time, leaving you with scattered information and without easy to read performance metrics). That said, recursion is usually the simplest thing to write on the first try, when coming up with a solution to a problem. But I do tend to "defunctionalize" later.
Eating out involves leaving the house, ordering and waiting for your food. That's also time.
You are only one person, taking on more opportunities takes more of your time and subcontracting investments can only do so much. Jeff Bezos turned 300k start to 100 billions, a 300 000 times return on investment. Do you think he could have turned 100 billion to 30 quadrillions? Obviously not, it would be something like 100 billion to 1 trillion at best.

Investing in yourself or projects you run is the main way to get rich, otherwise you just get average returns but if you invest in yourself you can bet on you being much better at doing things than the rest of the world expects.
Not a deep answer like the others but watch the kids TV show ‘Bluey’. I won’t spoil it by trying to explain, but the mum and dad (dogs) do an amazing job of picking up on and embracing their kids games. It’s impossible not to have some of it rub off on you after watching a few episodes.

Try the episodes ‘Fairies’ and ‘Stumpfest’.
No. The leash put on US children was because of the 1981 Adam Walsh kidnapping/murder, and his dad (a cop) inadvertently instilling morbid fear in the American public by being on TV daily about it for over a decade.

Hard to believe, but one TV reality celebrity infantilized all later generations of US children over one kid. This has delayed childhood maturity by about 5 years.

A similar example is Dr. Fauci, who has admitted that the only thing he cares about is corona stats, and doesn't look at related lockdown considerations like DV, delayed surgeries, school closures, etc.

Basically two thoughtless simps have used the power of mass media to nearly destroy American civilization.

I haven't read this book yet, but it discusses similar issues that are (gravely) endangering Western society:

So is he. QALY analysis is used to allocate all treatment in places like the UK, realistically in other places too. Basically a very expensive treatment that is only expected to increase your lifespan by a few months if you're already very elderly may not get funded if there are other interventions with better cost/benefit ratios available in the queue. This obviously affects nearly 100% of the population in the sense that most people will make it to old age, and even the non-elderly are affected by getting treatment they otherwise might not have done.
CSS is an utter timesink. If I could only recover the time I've wasted fiddling with CSS layouts over the years. If Dart for web makes it we'll finally have an alternative. Thankfully there's now SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose for mobile.

The article claims that they are sold to a south korean company “Daegu ltd.”, but I was not able to find any information on this company online. One site even claims that it is an American company[1]. Although I agree that it sounds very much Korean for it is a name of a big city here, it would be nice to see it clarified if needed because there’s already a comment with how greedy korean companies are.

Does it take a knowledge graph and use it as partial input to help learn some other function?

Then whitelist it. Jesus.
I have the same methodology but I'd say it's made my browsing massively worse than the average person. Mostly because of NoScript whitelisting, Ublock improves things immediately out of the box.

Here's some typical examples of my interactions with the modern web:

I'll open a website and nothing will appear because nowadays it's normal to load all content through Javascript. So I'll whitelist only the site and its CDN. It still won't appear because the site will be misconfigured to not load unless googletagservices has finished loading. So then I allow google. But then some other scripts from the tens of third parties will also be necessary to load it so I'll try to randomly temporarily whitelist the least scammy looking ones until it works.

For e-commerce websites, I'll allow all scripts in the tab because I know it's a lost battle to shop without it and then during checkout I'll often be redirected to another part of the site or to a payment processor in a new tab without script privileges which won't work, so I allow scripts on this tab and reload the page but it breaks their process and now I have to start over.

With some websites I get memory leaks because of NoScript. Alibaba and Vinted were like that for a long time, I don't know if NoScript or Firefox fixed something on their end or if the websites stopped doing the stupid shit they were probably doing, but for a long time I couldn't open those without using 10s of gigabytes of ram and crashing Firefox.

I put up with all of it because I don't like being spied on but, man, am I mad that I have to go through this.
That's an urban legend. Some variations also say the drug is in the food.

> The unlucky bit is WireGuard. XDP doesn't really work on WireGuard; it only pretends to (with the "xdpgeneric" interface that runs in the TCP/IP stack, after socket buffers are allocated). Among the problems: WireGuard doesn't have link-layer headers, and XDP wants it to; the discrepancy jams up the socket code if you try to pass a packet with XDP_OK. We janked our way around this with XDP_REDIRECT, and Jason Donenfeld even wrote a patch, but the XDP developers were not enthused, just about the concept of XDP running on WireGuard at all, and so we ended up implementing the worker side of this in TC BPF.

Yours and the other comments below are all saying "yeah, it's fine, you can do it if you don't have kids nor health insurance". Which basically means "it's not fine". A good standard of living is not measured by how a person can live as long as she remains single and decides to forego health insurance.

Ratings are tough to represent but as your work has its own style it's giving it at least the air of an alternative (that's a compliment) which is a good thing.
Capitalism automatically allocates more resources to those who uses the resources well via markets mostly choosing to buy better or cheaper products. That works much much better than allocating resources via committees or strict laws, until you have a better solution for resource allocation any replacement for capitalism will fail.

However this also means that as long as we keep the resource allocation thing mostly intact you can manipulate all other aspects of it, like adding lots of taxes, giving aid to the poor etc. None of that messes with the main feature of resource allocation, which is why Scandinavian countries still have good economies.
