Well, from a safety point of view, you'd obviously be much safer going with New Glenn or SLS.

Out of curiosity, are cookies being totally phased out or will websites still be able to use them for things like sessions?

I've made matlab scripts that pull true randomness out of the less-significant figures of the output of an audio microphone listening to static...it's not impossible.

If we were serious about it, sharing flash drives and even using couriers could make it work pretty well.
The rate of 1/10,000,000 is for commercial regular aviation. Private fights have a much larger rate, usually even larger than 1/1,000,000, what is a normal rate for civilian transportation (a few times more or less).

Space fight is a lot more dangerous than normal in-planet transportation, and the Space Shuttle is on the more risk side of it (but any project has too small numbers to generalize).
At some point we will have to understand what debt is.

Entrepreneur Raised over $60M for Real-Time Analytics at Cloud Scale
How is peak design a competitor though here, and in which way is amazon a monopolist? Peak design sells their merchandise through several other channels, so amazon is probably not a monopolist for "selling camera bags online", and on the marketplace, peak design is more like a paying customer, not a competitor. Amazon would probably be within their rights removing Peak design completely.
The utility isn't solely measured by the amount of money a financial service can move, or the amount of transactions it can process.

If that were true, Western Union would obviously have less utility than Visa. But actually, WU and Visa solve totally different problems with different risks associated, so it doesn't make sense to compare them in that way.
Since the moon lander version has high-mounted Dracos to touch down without kicking up dust, would it be possible for Earth Starship to incorporate a similar design as a backup landing system?
No way in hell a single gust of wind is going to be a problem - this thing is HEAVY even at landing and even then the raptors are powerful enough to not just slow it down to effectively hover but also flip it from horizontal to vertical in seconds. Unless you are insane enough to land into a Typhoon wind should not be a problem at all.
Not all usage of energy is equivalent. It requires energy to run carbon scrubbers, yet we would probably agree that carbon scrubbers are worth the energy costs for environmental benefits.

Can you prove that the energy bitcoin miners use would have been put to a more environmentally friendly use if they had not existed?
There’s plenty of counterpoints to this around the world and including in the USA today. Our ancestors just thought differently about family, progeny, and themselves than we do, and that’s fine.
Because our economy is somewhat of a Ponzi scheme, in which everything needs to keep growing forever. We are perpetually borrowing from the future, with the assumption that everything will be growing forever.

As people get older, they start getting more expensive. If you don't have a larger generation coming from behind to provide for that ever-increasing older generation, then the costs have to be spread among fewer people.
We Already Grow Enough Food for 10B People – and Still Can't End Hunger
"Embracing the current conventional wisdom, the authors argue for a combination of conventional and organic farming to meet 'the twin challenge of feeding a growing population, with rising demand for meat and high-calorie diets, while simultaneously minimizing its global environmental impacts.'

Unfortunately, neither the study nor the conventional wisdom addresses the real cause of hunger.

Hunger is caused by poverty and inequality, not scarcity. For the past two decades, the rate of global food production has increased faster than the rate of global population growth. The world already produces more than 1 ½ times enough food to feed everyone on the planet. That's enough to feed 10 billion people, the population peak we expect by 2050. But the people making less than $2 a day -- most of whom are resource-poor farmers cultivating unviably small plots of land -- can't afford to buy this food."

You’re getting downvoted but I think this actually is worth considering.

It doesn’t devalue diagnoses. These categories and labels are to some degree arbitrary, and the underlying conditions are often very elastic and amorphous.

The categories and labels are very helpful in some ways, but it’s unhelpful to rely on them exclusively to inform yourself if someone is having mental issues or not.

I’m not sure if this is what you were touching on or not.
given the inherent danger of space travel, I don't think the risk will ever meet parity with air travel.

Planes glide, and are generally only unsafe during a few critical moments after tire-lift.

Planes that don't glide are generally considered unsafe and highly specialized.

I fail to wrap my head around how a mechanism that uses active propulsion for all phases of flight could ever match the safety of a mechanism that exploits passive physics in the face of active propulsion system-failure.

That said, I couldn't tell you how to achieve space-flight otherwise except for maybe a shuttle-lander type system -- I am simply stating that the comparison of risk between air travel and space travel seems absurd to me.

Of course space travel would be more dangerous.
When Sprint invested $200M for a 33% share they had about 1 Million subscribers in 2017.

https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/7662726/tidal-sp...

Not sure why NYTimes said this was undisclosed. This would give revenues of approximately $240M a year generously assuming everyone is on the HiFi plan.

I haven’t been able to find more recent subscription numbers. Was Sprint able to push Tidal to their customer base?
It all seemed rather incoherent without this knowledge.
I don't read it that way at all. The article says BaFin is concerned Greensill presents "imminent risk that the bank will become over-indebted" so I think it's more likely that Greensill is overstating the value of some assets in order to juice the denominator and make the balance sheet appear more sound. If the assets they're overvaluing relate to Gupta's company (and from the article, it sounds like they do) it's possible Gupta's company is in on it but it's also possible the company is entirely unaware.

If your bank is carrying your mortgage on their books at x10 it's actual value you wouldn't have any idea, would you? This is one of the reasons that financial audits typically include a letter sent to random customers asking to confirm whether the balance of their account or loan matches the value recorded in the bank's system.
Since you mentioned this is for a startup for the film industry, having a permanent sysad on the roles doesn't make sense. (Rates vary from 60k-200k depending on experience, expertise, area).

Instead, I'd look at contract system administration labor. It'll probably set you back 100-150$/hr with minimums of 2h. However, sysads can catch problems, set up alerting, and fix structural issues before they turn into humongous problems.

It would be my recommendation to do more hours with onboarding a consultant and a full audit (not SOX or FedRAMP or the like - but to get you aware of what you're doing even if you weren't aware). From there, a plan can be made to keep you up and running with low/no impacts. And once the hard part's done, should insulate you from any oopses. And the monitoring will help catching them in the act in case there's a new type of oops.

I hope I answered you adequately :)
Investigate Exchange Logs for the Hafnium Exploit
I've read the entire comment chain and the myopic focus on roguelites makes me feel like there's something that isn't being said.

Roguelites are designed for huge replayability so of course there's an element of randomness and difficulty in place of pure linear progression. Personally I don't see exploitative gambling/addiction mechanics in a game like Spelunky or Risk of Rain or Dead Cells.

It's utterly disingenuous to put these on the same level of cynical mobile titles that rub their exploitation in your face and continually blueball you with arrays of counters, timeout mechanics, fake currencies (backed by real money), and loot boxes. It's absurd to draw equivalence to the practice of exploiting 'whales' and young children, to squeeze as much money out of them as possible.

If Spelunky or some other roguelite had a mobile version that monetized every element of gameplay and made it 'freemium' then it would be another scummy mobile game, and would warrant the comparison. But not until then.
> The brown M&M’s principle is the idea that small details can sometimes serve as useful indicators of big issues.

> This principle is named after a rock band (Van Halen), who had a “brown M&M’s clause” in their contracts with event organizers, stipulating that the organizers must provide M&M’s in the backstage area, but that there must be no brown M&M’s available. This small clause gave the band an easy way to check whether organizers actually paid attention to all the details in the contract, which was important given how complicated and potentially dangerous the band’s production was.

Ok, but it also means that somebody touched all your M&Ms.
Perhaps it disagrees with their personal worldview, because it would make their Bitcoin investment a questionable move for the world. There's a lot of justification going on around people's bitcoin investments; you can't say a negative thing about it right now without being dogpiled.
Yup. This is the same phenomenon in India as well - the salary is "high", so you can splurge on furniture, buy reasonably priced cars etc. much easier than earlier generations. But we cannot afford to buy the same house my parents lived in at our income level.
Quite interesting that this story has a German angle as well. I wasn't aware, but aparently a lot of Greensill's liquidity came from its bank in Bremen / Germany.

Well, at least all the deposits re covered, up to 100k € by law and up to 75 million per client because Greensil is member of a dedicated fund run by private banks in Germany. Still, that would be the highest sum this fund has to pay, if Greensill goes under, since Lehman Brother's bancrupcy. And it would force banks to replenish the fund, most likely by raising banking fees.
Also in psychological evaluations. A questionnaire may include items that people pretending to have some condition think they should answer a certain way, but would be untrue in (most) actual incidences of that condition.
The space shuttle didn't have go-arounds; it was an unpowered landing, so they had to nail it the first try.

Starship actually _could_ have go-arounds, depending on how much fuel margin they have available.
And if I have many single-use functions in a module? I call them _f1(), _f2(), _f3() etc?

Naming things is a burden, one of the two hardest computer science problems. Mandating that all functions be named is like mandating that all values be named - no "x * 2" for you! You have to do "doubling_constant = 2: x * doubling_constant". It's true that beyond a certain level of complexity, a name can help convey intent - but that's a decision best left to the programmer, not enforced by some stupid arbitrary parsing rule.
Other than needing to change the oil (and filters that are done at the same time) that is about what you would expect from an ICE. Okay, tires would be replaced, but as others have pointed that is about the rubber and the wear is identical.

It's strange to see the rehabilitation of the famous Van Halen rider. Until it was finally discovered in 2011[0], the phrase "no brown M&M's" was interpreted as an example of crazy demands from entitled rock stars.

Replacement rates of brakes on electric-powered vehicles are probably on par with manual transmission vehicles, if the driver uses the engine to brake. Anecdote, but the brake pads on my old VW lasted 4+ years and 120k km, and changing them was almost trivial. A bigger issue is replacing brake fluid every two years, and electric vehicles are no different in that regard.
No. They're saying that toddlers also get socially conditioned from birth. So the behaviors that they display are not 100% inherent. So how toddlers act isn't really a good (scientific) argument for nature vs nurture.
The clearest impact is has is on accounting for our social safety nets. For example the Social Security program is solvent to 2035, and that will probably come down quite a bit in the short term even with increased immigration.

The main issue seems that Greensill has a (very) large exposure to the collective 'network' of Gupta's companies, and regulators / counterparties decided this was too risky. Supply chain financing has a bit of a record for being used to prop up failing companies in their dying days by disguising borrowings.

Not shocked at all. It’s hard to keep up with the pace of innovation in this space especially with a competitor as skilled as Microsoft in this arena. A text editor from Adobe never really made sense to me.

I am also surprised that Atom is still kicking and hasn’t done something similar

It definitely is, and believing anything else is delusional.

With that said, would you like to be the politician to stop the madness, if that's even possible? Things will not change until we have a crisis.
Converting sscanf from undefined to implementation defined behavior would, by definition, not break implementation defined behaviors.

There are real cases where removing undefined behavior blocks optimizations, but this doesn't feel like one.

I hate these tropes that exist somewhere in the "rules of thumb and vague proverbial advice that can be twisted to mean anything" space.

Scientific discovery is learning new facts about the world. Inventing new contraptions to help us in our goals is technology. I.e. I don't think anyone would call Henry Ford a scientist or Albert Einstein an inventor. I thought it's basic and well-understood distinction.
Wouldn't that have changed the semantics (since you're not calling the copy constructor anymore?)

The student accidentally changed the semantics by adding the extra call to the copy contstructor, and therefore Clang didn't know anymore that it could be removed

What if the effects of cryptocoins are expected to affect other assets more negatively (people reduce buying from businesses because they want to hoard tokens instead so all assets but cryptocoins lose value while tokens are gaining). Then cryptocoins increasingly seems like the only asset worth buying. This is what makes this a bad Nash equilibrium and vicious circle.

Now I think central banks can prevent this from affecting the greater economy by sufficiently stimulating investment (which would quickly push crypto coins prices up to a level where they can go down again). I think...

Have you tried Elixir or any Scheme? If the scope is dynamic languages, both put JavaScript to shame with much more power, useful tools and far fewer non-sensical footguns.

If the scope is programming languages in general, since it was stated that JS isn't a "bad language" after all, then you can include a long, long list of type-safe languages that are much better for dealing with both its role in the browser and in the backend. Elm, Reason, F#, OCaml, Scala, Kotlin, Swift, Rust, Haskell, to name a few.
A different environmentalist worldview that I was raised with (as one of four kids of environmentalist parents):

You are correct, the problem is exclusively with emplace_back; incidentally, there is an "official" discussion of this at https://cplusplus.github.io/LWG/issue2089.
I use to love brackets, especially with the responsive plugin. That made responsive development so easy. But then visual studio code came along and I stopped using it apart from for the responsive work. When the responsive plugin no longer worked I stopped using brackets all together.
Space Shuttle had no go around after the deorbit burn - you either land on the runway or ditch somewhere close to it (and ditching is kinda hard to do when landing not on the Cape but in the New Mexico desert).

Unlike the Soviet Buran Shuttle, there was no option to install an auxiliary jet engine and you had to be a very good pilot to compensate for the Shuttles brick like gliding qualities.
I wonder if then The Right Way of scanf-scanning potentially large strings is the fmemopen route?

/* ... goal: scanf some looong char *s in some loop */

FILE *s_as_FILE = fmemopen(s, strlen(s), "r");
/* loop loop loop */ ... {
fscanf(s_as_FILE, "FORMAT", &v);
}
fclose(s_as_FILE);

fmemopen is around for a while now, it should work with many libc implementations these days.

?
Yep, so much simpler and easier to read.

> just that it's a better ideal than growing out your set of assumptions. After all, if you take people and keep dividing them into groups based on shared characteristics, take that to its terminal limit and you're simply treating people as unique individuals.

I'm confused as to how becoming aware of how my privilege, which has lead to wrong, sometimes harmful, assumptions, would lead me to expand my list of assumptions

Removing assumptions about others is exactly the goal of checking ones privilege. The reason for privilege being a focus point is that assumptions arising from social class differences causes more harm in the world than any other cognitive bias

When you write "dropping unfounded assumptions about other humans and their experiences", you're describing half of what "checking ones privilege" is about

The second part is to find out how and why those privileges are not extended to everyone by contributing to causes that promote and work towards a more fair and equal access to those privileges regardless of social class, race, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, etc

The work arounds seem to be:

0 - Remove any skins / bumpers / cases from the device.

1 - Lock and unlock the device.

2 - Toggle NFC mode.

3 - Reboot the phone.

I've seen some speculation that on the Pixel 4 it could also be due to some flexing in the case. During a two week period where I couldn't find my wallet I spent a lot of time trying to make it work because of Chase's allowing tap-to-authenticate on their ATMs. Out of 100+ tries using those work arounds and several different ATMs (in case that was the issue) it worked once.

I ordered a tile for my wallet since I can no longer rely on my Pixel 4 as a replacement credit card.
