I don't doubt you're right for most existing rockets, but I think the main difference here is that SpaceX has every reason to test the hell out of their propellant-producing appliances here on Earth, even if it's not economical at the beginning. They depend on these appliances working perfectly on Mars for the return trip, so they need to be _very_ reliable.
I'm glad to see this story on HN. It's one of the biggest corruption reports ever in Russian history, from what I can think of (I'm not Russian, so my knowledge is limited), and it's a bit disheartening to see this story drown among all the attention Biden's inauguration is getting.
I would love to see Intel buy Intel's fabs, glofo or something.
I was under the impression OOP with classes is not cache performant when doing common game engine tasks like mass updating the velocity or position of objects.
I don't mind automatic updates per se as long as they're thoroughly checked and vetted. I'm not convinced Android and the Chrome web store do ANY checking / vetting. I have more trust in Apple's stores.

Vetting could be better with a lot of companies as well; remember not so long ago when Windows Defender decided a critical system file was malware and broke a ton of systems?

Verification. Vetting. Gradual release. Automatically disable extensions if they changed ownership, or if there's suspicious activity on the account of the owner (e.g. new login in another country).

And they need to take a MUCH harder stance on malware. Right now they're not even acknowledging there's a problem, let alone acting on it.
The persistence of memory in B cells: Hints of stability in Covid immunity
Sorry to break it to you, but as with many things in the US constitution, the reason the President can pardon people is because it's a modified copy of the British constitutional system of the time. The House is Parliament, the Senate is the House of Lords, and the president can pardon people because King George III could and the office of the presidency is a limited term elected kingship.

Executive orders are Royal decrees. The president signing laws is Royal Assent. Presidential pardons are Royal pardons. The power to adjourn Congress is proroguation. It goes on and on. Of course there are differences, but a lot of these things are still direct copies that never got reformed.

“His name may not ring a bell. Don’t worry, we didn’t know who he was either when we started.“

This really sounds like a weird quote that doesn’t help promote their book at all. Why would I want to read a biography written by people who didn’t know the person until five years ago?

I guess that sentence tells all about who the target audience is for the book.

Right now I'm learning Rust and it looks like that GTK is the best option for GUI programming in Rust.
Can someone tell me what toolkit should I learn for Rust? Should learn a Rusty Gui toolkit?
According to the homepage of a company that buys apps, and as a first approximation, that would be "anywhere between 8x - 36x monthly revenue for apps. In most cases this is well above the standard market value of 6-12x".

Whether they are lowballing candidates with that offer, I can't say.
I personally don't have children and I didn't _really_ understand how difficult it is to have kids at home while working. When I moved back East, I did spend 3 days at my brothers.

He has two adorable little girls; 1.5 years old and 2 months.

His kids are pretty calm, by most standards.. but you can't let the older one out of sight for a few seconds.

I certainly feel your pain even though I don't have kids.

I'd love to see this answered as well. Do KLA or Lam produce any of this manufacturing equipment?
I really thought we'd have grid computing, aka utility computing. Running our self-contained software agents, persisting data and state in ubiquitous tuplespaces.

That's my excuse for being so slow to grasp "cloud". When AWS made EC2 public, I really didn't understand why anyone would want to use it.

Cloud era "serverless" just pisses me off. The applicable cliche is "Every sufficiently complex C project recreates LISP, poorly."

It's seems like we're doomed to repeatedly reinvent the past. Championed by youngsters who never read the book.

Maybe this explains "worse is better".

I know, I know. I've become the old crank. All you noisy kids get off my lawn.
The Secret Service referred to it as a demonstration, but people who are upset that the alt-right invading Capitol is a big deal, so they want to retroactively create equivalency to everything that happened over the summer...

Buying more groceries at a time is another obvious batching that one can do. So is cooking in bigger batches. Fixed cost in household chores is mostly about time, so you should try to batch them to save time. Buying groceries monthly vs. daily saves you 30 hours in a month, if it takes an hour for one trip.
"don't take it"

Yup. You have to pay for what you use. For some things, that's a pricetag in dollars that you can look at on your balance sheet. For all software except that cast into the public domain, that's an obligation to use it in the ways that the license requires. If the price for a library in dollars is too high, you either grit your teeth and pay it, or you find some other way to accomplish your goal within the law. If the price for software in usage rights is too high, you make the same decision.
If these vehicles were from anyone besides a company whose explicit goal is to develop an interplanetary colony ship whose duty cycle will require the launch infrastructure on the other planet to convert atmospheric CO2 into methane using solar power, I’d agree — it hasn’t been done, it’s not economical to do it that way yet.

But Musk needs this process to become economical so that Mars can become economical.

(The same tech may, ironically given Tesla, compete with batteries for the energy storage PV calls for).
You don't have to be high-profile or the President's buddy to receive an executive pardon (you can realize this by going through the article's list). Anyone* can petition and receive a pardon.

I believe that the most useful parts of the history are the parts that are not taught in history classes. Especially monetary history and past enterpreneurs, inventors and scientists. Not history written by winners of wars.

Here’s an example:

My 4 year old son manages to beach-ball the big sur lock screen about twice a week. It has resulted in lost work more than once.

On the previous version I believe he managed to unlock the computer as well, just by hammering the keyboard.
I’d go further. Most current news is purely entertainment. You really don’t need to know everything that’s going on. Almost none of it is actionable. It’s fine as entertainment, but people are convinced they’re doing something important when they read the news, when as far as I can tell it’s just something they enjoy as a leisure activity.
Investing of any kind and everything affiliated with investing of any kind is 90% marketing.
If you have laws that are passed with racial control in mind, such as our drug laws, then mass pardoning is an act of justice and not someone becoming the arbiter of law.
jwz has a lot to say about complex graphical toolkits/desktop environments and their complex locking mechanisms. It's an interesting series of posts.

If you are not running xscreensaver on Linux, then it is safe to assume that your screen does not lock. Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.

The lyrics of the poignant song Runaway Train by Soul Asylum come to my mind.
head of state pardons are common even in the rest of the world.

In France, Germany, Greece, and Italy it's also a prerogative of the president, for example.

Some rocket engines use oxygen & hydrogen fuels which, after combustion, turn into water. I'm not sure I'd count water as pollution.

Don't worry. The electric fence will keep you out of their territory.
I like the article here as it makes a powerful argument about open source. FOSS is eating the software world.

In Social Architecture, Peter Hintjens (ZeroMQ) has another way of putting it. Paraphrased he says that:

Open sourcing a particular product can be a "market breaker". Imagine someone all of a sudden open sourced a great Photoshop alternative with a nice community. Suddenly, the for-profit market would collapse as photo editing became free over night. That's open source eating software.

On the other hand, (1) licensing your software under the GPL family without asking for contributor licensing agreements and by (2) claiming your trademark (in his case: ZeroMQ) is the control mechanism that defends your product against exploitation.

(1) GPL as it allows to create a piece of software that has a huge number of owners and hence becomes impossible to capture by anyone. And also because GPL may force an exploiter to contribute back (APGL).

(2) Trademarks so that nobody can come along and offer a "ZeroMQ service" without your consent.

Post Script:

I love Peter's argument for choosing GPL (1), which is that it creates a huge number of owners for the software. Imagine being an infrequent ZeroMQ contributor and now AWS comes along and hosts your product. Then, essentially, they're messing with YOUR intellectual property. I think this dimension is often overlooked. I'd love to see a contributor class action lawsuit one day :D
I don't deny there are camps. I deny there are concentration camps with the intention to murder people. Big difference.

I don't say all camps are good. I don't say nobody is being ill-treated. I'm sure there are incidents. But I deny that it's a mass concentration camp with the intention of murdering 2 million people. Big difference.

All the interviews with people who say there are concentration camps, are with Uyghur separatists who have ties with extremist members. The very same people that just a few years ago the US would have labeled as terrorists. Don't you think their answers would be biased? Look at the track record of North Korean dissidents, it's been proven again and again that they have an incentive to lie and that not everything they say can be 100% trusted. What makes you think Uyghur dissidents are different?

Heck, for years I've heard stories about Falun Gong being painted as wholly-innocent people who are wrongly prosecuted by the CCP. But now, the New York Times exposed them as spreaders of pro-Trump misinformation. This is another example that shows that people who are in conflict with the CCP, are not automatically trustworthy or honest people. Yes maybe the CCP's treatment on them is wrong, but two things can be true at the same time: CCP could be wrong to treat them like that, AND they could be untrustworthy or have a evil agenda of their own.

Even this point is discussed extensively in the video.

If you're gonna argue whether China's anti-terrorism efforts use too broad sweeps and is heavy-handed, fine, I don't disagree with that. What I do disagree with, is that it's a genocide/enslavement of 2+ M people or whatever the made-up count is today.

You mentioned Taiwan. Whatever I spoke about here on HN about Taiwan is neither in support of the mainland position on Taiwan, nor against it. I was just providing perspective so that people gain a more accurate understanding of the issue. Perhaps you think CCP is "the enemy" and their perspective is automatically invalid. No I don't agree with that.

I don't consider myself pro-CCP. You're not gonna find me in agreement with the great firewall policy for example. But that doesn't mean I need to be necessarily against everything they say/do either.
No, people who don't oppose CCP at every turn, are not pro-CCP. As I said: I'm pushing back against people who are against China for the wrong reasons.
This looks really good. Most programming languages look like gobbledygook but I can understand what’s going on.
Do you know the term 'histogram'? Think about three pillars superimposed on the image you can see in the Wikipedia link - people around the middle, people below the middle group, people above the middle group. Most people are in the middle group. Most people are about as smart as you. A smaller number people are less smart and a smaller number are more smart. Get it?
Probably not. Assange and Snowden didn't get pardons so I wouldn't expect Ulbricht to get one.

Ask HN: Is it worth to move to another country for 1mil$?
Lets say you made it. You always wanted to be independent. Your cooperate job sucked. So you started your amazing side project. It took off.

What was previously fun requires now serious decisions. Your life. Should you resign from you boring job, although it makes now somehow a bit fun. Should you hire people. Should you change anything at all.

But maybe the most urgent decision would be:
1) Staying where you are. Paying 45% Tax rate. With rather bad regulatory conditions
2) Moving to a business friendly and tax friendly country like Switzerland. Paying 10% Tax.

What would you do?

PS: Some of my own thoughts. I never would go away to Swiss for a raise from 100k -> 200k. But it is somehow more difficult when we are talking about millions. Especially when I have the feeling that my government doesn't spend the taxes well.
Not sure yet what I would do with one million more, but guess something like starting a new company or helping parents and so on. To be honest kind ofparalyzed regarding this since there seem to be no rational solution. Moving to a new Country could really suck. Especially since friends and family would be somewhere else. On the other hand. Just doing it for a year would result in multiple millions of net worth. It could also be a nice experience - but not sure about it. So really struggling.
The amazing-yet-illegal ways in which a civil servant earning about $110k per year can amass a billion-dollar fortune.

The latter is the goal of most HN readers, so watching the video is instructive.
well, you don't need to manage a server to run the process. So, technically, it is less server. It's not no-server, just less.
Oh man this brings back so much nostalgia for the old school computer exploits we used to find.

Only approved programs software was supposed to run but you could actually run anything as long as the .exe was on the desktop.

7-zip would let you explore the entire network drive, including teachers folders that we didn't have access to.

Unplugging the reconnecting the Ethernet cable wouldn't reconnect you to the teachers monitoring software.

We had a zip filled with games like Starcraft 2, Quake 3, Halo CE that was hidden on the shared network drive that kids around the school would use to play and LAN with each other.
Someone I knew at university, who prefers starting at 0 (for mathematical, rather than computational, reasons) made the following argument/proposal.

"First" is an abbreviated form of "foremost". So if you start counting at 0, "first" corresponds to index 0. There's no real clash here yet; "first" and "one" are entirely separate terms.

"Second" is from Latin "secundus" meaning "following"; the second thing follows the first. So "second" corresponds to index 1. Again, no clash yet; "second" and "two" are basically unrelated.

"Third", though, actually derives from "three". So "third" has to correspond to index 3.

This leaves a gap, which might perhaps be filled by a new word "twifth", corresponding to index 2.

So now we have the cardinal numbers: zero, one, two, three. And the corresponding ordinals: first, second, twifth, third.
Really? How do you enable it?
Quick tip, this would make a great gift for people. Would be nice to have a "Send this as a gift to someone" option.

This is all true. But there are static checkers to find these issues, it's not a huge deal. Having the power to ignore the convention when I want to is good :)
You asked for an example, so I gave a particularly egregious example of exactly what you asked for. You suddenly switch your position to "nearly every example" and do not address the very specific and relevant example I gave at all.

That's because hours are announced as points in time, while days are seen as time intervals. The duality
intervals/separators is essential to the different ways to understand ranges (specially for range differences).

I once developed a shortcut notation to simplify reasoning about ranges differentiating between "point cero" and "interval between 0 to 1", to make off-by-one errors less likely, but in the end it was functionally equivalent to the popular open/closed interval notations.
Huh. Am I alone in that I consistently test for a massive ton of random key or screen presses? Either manually or through automation?
No real way to get from a seaplane up to the rig deck.
This seems naive at best. The goal of studying history is not to be paralyzed and constrained by it, but to learn from it. Human behavior seems to be notoriously consistent across centuries, there is much to gain from understanding past mistakes.

Nor is every goal of our existence is about “building stuff”, it can also be about just living a just and considered life.

These types of boorish egotistical statements from tech talking heads masquerading as cerebral contrarian thought are much of what’s contributed to our current mess.
> Also, in some jurisdictions the car is not considered "stolen" until it has physically moved.

I don't really think it's about "both sides", I think it's about contextualizing the action. Because the Trump administration was so insane in so many ways, we tend to forget (or maybe misremember) that there is a very real and persistent form of corruption in our politics that far predates Trump. The end of the Trump regime does not mean the end of political corruption, not by a long shot, and we would do well to remember that.
I think one of my biggest fears with Biden is that because he isn't Trump, everyone will take a deep sigh of relief, and then ignore the more mundane "political corruption as usual" aspects of his presidency.

I'd say the poster is telling it like it is. Better than 99.9% of people downloading FOSS software have no intention whatsoever of adding code or contributing back in any way and have no interest in the FOSS philosophy in general. The only value to them is the "free as in beer" aspect. If that isn't exploiting FOSS developers generosity, what is?
It was a thing back then I used to share an office with some one who had worked at RAE and flew on choppers for experiments who mentioned it.

To me it seems like the real reason Parler was removed was because of the risk that Donal Trump would move there after being banned from Twitter, Facebook and Youtube.

This would undoubtedly bring a lot of attention and legitimacy to that platform that could create a rift in the tech sector and a new era of actual competition.
So you have to use an experimental version of Firefox. These nightly versions are less tested and can be a serious downgrade from any stable browser.

That's a feature, not a bug. I can get behind changing the presidential election to be based on the popular vote, but I don't think I want the Senate to be based on the popular vote given the terrible job done by the CA and TX legislatures.
By the time it's open to the public, I'd expect for it to be approximately as safe as air travel currently is, possibly even more safe, given the very reasonable apprehension the public will have to rocket travel.

And I'd expect the US Government to be heavily involved in ensuring that to be the case.
