> makes me wonder why any employer would ever prefer younger employees with nothing tying them down

Probably a lot of reasons, but a major one may be that young people with no family of their own got all day, every day, to think about work-related problems - especially so, if they derive a lot of meaning from their work, as many people do. It's probably also a lot easier to boss them around, especially if said people crave acknowledgement from some authority figure.
Apollo used specialised vehicles too, you don’t need gateway stations for that. Conversely using a gateway station means you cannot choose optimal orbits and timings for your mission, you have to use the pre-established orbits and timings whether it suits you or not.

Suppose I want to send a mission to land on the moon at a site not on the orbital plane of the gateway station. For an all in one mission this is no problem, I can match my Earth launch plane and transfer plane to line up with the destination. With a gateway station the lander has to do two plane change burns, on on landing and again on ascent back to the gateway. If you play KSP you know just how expensive plane change manoeuvres can be.

ISU is a great opportunity for sure, but we don’t have it yet. That would be a great reason for building a way station and a great reason for going to it on other missions. But without that reason what’s the point?
I think you are thinking #4 should be something like making a better Facebook or something global. I highly doubt that is what the concept means. It just means do things that benefit other people directly. Running the friendly neighborhood barbershop where you are not doing anything unethical (like recommending shady products) falls within #4.
Really a sad story! the attitude of University of Florida made me angry!
This article is referring to the effect of a class of compounds called "aerosols," which does not include CO2. Aerosols do prevent some fraction of solar energy from reaching Earth's surface, but this is separate from the effect of increased CO2 concentrations.

Ask HN: How to get traction without hefty marketing spend?

I think by now, the post title is a cliché. That makes me wonder what I'll gain by reading another lament about how we're Stuck In The Shallows. That in turn makes me wonder if the post isn't an example of what it complains about.

>You really need to think a bit deeper about this. You obviously don't have much experience with security and you make a lot of assumptions here

No it's you who is making assumptions and operating on "it must be this way" sense.

Simply because a project has not had changes in a few years (or even many years) doesn't make the project insecure or bad. Can there be bugs or security issues? Or course, any software can have those, but merely change rate as you see on the project download page has no bearing on that.
"Stopping at lunar orbit, effectively halfway, just costs a huge amount of extra fuel to stop and then start again. "

Wait, what? The standard "go straight to the moon" mission plan (e.g. Apollo 11) has a required point where you are at a lunar orbit. There's no extra fuel cost to "stop" there; as you're spending fuel to slow down between lunar insertion and lunar landing, at some speed you inevitably are in a lunar orbit and can spend some time there at no fuel cost.
Someone really, really, really needs to get this professor's current students to safety immediately. Don't forget that shortly before the student's suicide, according to a screenshot of a conversation with the student who took his own life (same Medium account, earlier article), the professor threatened to kill the student if he "ruined his reputation." His students are not safe and the focus should be on making sure they are safe.
Indeed system thinking is useful but you seem to be missing that no prediction js ever accurate, nor can any system model fully cover the real complexity. System thinking is a tool, not the ultimate truth, and your system model will always be imperfect.

Even if your model was perfect, you should not simply assume that a theoretical future really holds moral weight beyond that of the actual present. Feeding a duck today means two hungry ducks next year. Possible. Feeding a hungry human today means two hungry humans next year. Possible. But are you going to let a human (or a duck for that matter) starve to death to avoid theoretical future suffering, especially when the outcome is not guaranteed? What if the one you saved is a unique duck whose genes will make all offspring resistant to a certain pathogen? What if the human will be an important contributor to mankind's future? Or what if this human won't have children? Or what if they will be fed two days later by someone else regardless, which means your choice not to feed them only prolonged their suffering with no change in long-term outcome?

Brought ad absurdum: the only moral choice is nuclear war - kill us all now to reduce future suffering of our children, grandchildren, etc.

System thinking is useful, but don't think it has magical powers. Applied it helps you to see a broader horizon but it is always as flawed as your assumptions and model.

This is such a sad story. Nothing can bring back the dead, but we can try to prevent a repeat of the events, and ensure that their death was not in vain. It is heartening to see that ACM took the investigation seriously, and actually did discover and condemn serious academic fraud. However, while I can guess who is has been banned from submitting to ACM conferences for the next 15 years, apparently it is ACMs policy not to announce publicly! Just look at the report[0], it's completely anonymous. Am I mistaken? What is the justification for this? At a practical level, how am I as a co-chair of an ACM event supposed to enforce a ban if I don't know who is banned?

It’s a trade off:

Younger workers have less to lose, so tend to leave more — but they’re also less experienced and tend to have lower expectations for the workplace.

Older workers are less likely to leave because it’s disruptive, but they’re also more experienced at the political side of life — and tend to insist on things like reasonable hours, professional management, etc.

My personal stance is that trying to exploit your workers is a losing game — but from the employers who act that way...

There’s some who prefer the lower expectations (eg, Amazon) and some who prefer the more stable crew (eg, ATT).

No, you assume a lot about me while knowing 0. The bigger problem here is that you assume that people in corp care that there are hidden agents taking some data out. Let me open your eyes: they usually don't and ESPECIALLY if its not visible. If you replace their main site front page they will care.

Dude... go read my post again.

> Would you want a bunch of foreign companies sitting in your network, siphoning all your hard work out for free?

I don't care. Its up to my stakeholders, I don't work for my granpas company. WHEN they care, I do it. Mine is to inform. Theirs to decide. Guess what: they always decide against it, naturally, as it costs more otherwise. Security is a feature. It costs money. It can be theoretically done forever and take infinite amount of money. In last decade I had just 1 stakeholder requesting "unbreakable system" and we did the best we could.

Your main mistake seems to be to extrapolate your context to entire world. Context is everything.
Lmao! Do you see the irony!?

It's tragic that academics have no metric for quality in published work.

The only metrics are journal status and citation count, which is partly why we're in this mess.

There should be some form of public post-review attached to all public work, with explicit requirements for rigour and reproducibility.

Some domains - like math - do at least attempt this, more or less. But CS doesn't seem to.

Aside from motivations - now skewed towards business outcomes - the underlying problem is that paper publishing as the gold standard for disseminating new research is a 17th century process and badly needs an update.

Three Types of Startup Advisors
> The last line of defense against a rogue engineering team is managers who have studied this stuff.

If your engineering team is the one pushing in that direction I'd reckon the company was in a bad spot to begin with to have hired that team because it strongly indicates that the management layer (head of tech/CTO) has no technical clue.

Hire strong Lead Developers with a proven track record of delivering value to companies they worked at and you'll be mostly fine.

Also there's not much to study, in 99% of the cases in a web based startup if your stack deviates from a monolith with one of PHP/Ruby/Python/.NET/Go + Mysql/Postgres/MSSQL you're doing it wrong.

I'm a Debian developer. It can look a little chaotic from outside.

But there are a few simple principles operating here. Mostly they follow from the Debian being a collection of 1000 developers, all equal. There is no CEO who can decide what's important and force someone to do something. Instead, Debian is a do'ocracy. If there is a dispute, it always takes the form of two Debian developers wanting to do something different. (This means users don't get a say. Not because Debian doesn't care, but because it's a do'ocracy and users can't do anything without going through the lengthy test and evaluation process that Debian insists all it's developers must go through.)

Asking for help, then not taking up an offer breaks this first rule. We don't have two Debian developers doing conflicting things, so there is no conflict. It may not be the nicest way to behave, but shrug no one can force someone to do something like supervise a newbie. After all Debian developers are unpaid volunteers, and you can't force an unpaid volunteer to do something.

Lets take it further. Lets say we have two Debian developers proposing to do different things. Lets say a Debian developer wants to upload a new version of libreoffice. A second rule comes into play here: the package maintainer is king of his packages. He can resist just about anything providing he isn't breaking any policies. So providing the libreoffice package is in reasonably good condition - not too old, all CVE's fixed, yada yada he can resist the new version. In fact I've resisted people wanting to update my package to a beta release, so I've don't just that.

Now lets say Debian packager of libreoffice has let it languish, in fact languished so much it's accumulating CVE's. And worse, in order to resist he must be actively deleting the new version. So we have two people doing different things, and they conflict. At this point either developer can invoke Debian's dispute resolution mechanisms. Interestingly the team doing the dispute resolution isn't allowed to do something themselves, they can only chose which (or perhaps neither) of the things done can proceed. In this case not updating a package accumulating CVE's breaks policy, so they would probably allow the developer uploading the new version to proceed.

This is a very different way of going about getting work done then people normally experience in their working life. A work environment is typically far more hierarchical and authoritarian. A boss can actually order someone to accept help for example :). However, Debian's system is demonstratedly every bit good as RedHat's. Security patches come out just a quickly, and it has far more packages. And clearly as there are 1000 of us developers all pulling together, it can't be too hard a system to work in.
This is quite cool.
You could position this like product hunt for workstations, just would need to add in the voting and change the layout a bit.
I don't see how the free market could have ever succeeded here. Even if it somehow accounted for events of the last week: the lost lives, damaged properties, and economic impact, it was billed as a once-in-100 year event.

Which company is going to take a hit to their profits each quarter so they can prepare properly? The companies who don't will be more competitive and successful right up until a freak event actually occurs. And if that happens, the absolute worst case is the your under prepared company goes under. Unlimited upsides and very limited downsides.

Agreed. I’ve just gotten well into singularity sky, and the Eschaton and it’s fantastic computational powers reminds me of the minds of the culture. Although I guess I am holding out hope the Eschaton has a good sense of humor if it ever shows up in person in the plot.

Beware of the dangers of preventative maintenance, where sometimes while replacing or inspecting or re-mounting inspected parts, the maintenance crew breaks something that was OK and probably going to be working fine for years.

That's a different issue mathematically, even though it looks somewhat similar visually.
Purely from a laziness perspective. There is not much need for a TV as it's just used to watch something in the evenings to take a break from the small screens. Plus, I tried to take advantage of the 0% interest rates that everyone has at the minute as well but it was a mission to get it done.

> How many passengers are even aware of contained engine failures?

All of them. If they somehow miss the noise and vibration, they'll definitely notice the fire and/or smoke trailing out of the engine.

Compressor failures aren't minor events. If it happens during certain phases of flight the asymmetric thrust can create a severe challenge for the crew. More than one airliner has crashed as a result. Asymmetric thrust due to an autothrottle problem may be why Sriwijaya 182 (a 737) crashed last month.

I'm not sure I understand your claim. Assuming she could get an exemption from an NDA, I don't think that means she can just grab all of the data she wants. Do you have some cases in mind where a whistle blower, or a worker was able to grab large volumes of data and send them to their counsel without repercussion? I think if she had taken a small number of targeted e-mails and documents and sent them to legal counsel, that might stand up. But it appears that she took thousands of e-mails and some number of documents (or maybe the e-mails contained attached documents). We'll have to wait for whatever lawsuit comes to find out if Google is exaggerating the total number of documents, and she only took a small handful. However, I would find it odd if an automated system would trip if she grabbed only a few tens of e-mails/documents. But maybe after the Uber incident, Google is a little more paranoid about when documents are taken off Google computers.
Narrative aside, Newscorp owns 100% of print media in Queensland and 70% Australia wide. Murdoch’s empire engages in anticompetitive practices destroying competition in Australia.

Newscorp’s power corrupts the political landscape as well, ousting multiple Australian Prime Ministers (Labor and Liberal), as recently heard by PM Kevin Rudd at the Enquiry Into Media Diversity.
https://youtu.be/Ap_LuSQ5NSc?t=953
Newscorp has created an atmosphere of fear in the political landscape and those who do not obey, are dismembered slowly but surely.

In my opinion, it’s an absolute crisis with media in Australia lulling people into uneducated and misinformed opinions, often pandering to fear whilst often exploiting minorities for headlines.

We need to act now to fix it.
Things to consider:

1. When under an abuser, frequently you internalize their narrative.

2. Allegedly the professor threatened to kill him if he "ruined his reputation."

3. If he was an international student (I do not know if he was), he could quite literally lose his visa for losing his spot in the program.

4. If your advisor hates you and you haven't managed to safely switch advisors, good luck getting a letter for any future academic pursuits. (Unless you're willing to speak out about what happened, or you have someone willing to write an explanatory letter on your behalf.)

5. When you're being abused and threatened with retaliation for speaking out and so on, you aren't thinking rationally. It's really traumatic and scary, and sometimes it's hard to imagine a path out that is tolerable, and death sounds safer and easier.

We in academia need to respond by setting up better systems to recognize and safely escape abusive situations without permanent harm to one's career and mental or physical wellbeing. And also by making those systems known to students and very easy to access and use.

I don't think it is "by design". Many Debian contributors are frustrated as well by the packaging processes and tools, but it turns out that it is not that easy to coordinate the work of thousands of people, most of whose contribute voluntarily in their free time. Debian was founded in the early 90's, developed by thousands and used by millions. It has tens of thousands of packages. You don't just migrate them to the newest packaging technology every day. Once upon a time the next big thing was Subversion. Now it is Git. What will it be next decade? It is difficult to keep up on volunteer work.

I don't mean to say that you have to accept it as it is. If you don't like it, just go somewhere else. If you are motivated to help fixing stuff, that's wonderful. Just don't pretend we like to make stuff difficult for the sake of it.

Intel refuse to document significant portions of their technology, and Linux works less well on their platforms as a result. They definitely do a better job of documenting things than Apple, but I'd really frame this as a difference in degree rather than in kind.
