No, even Hubble still delivers great contributions to science which are not quite matched by earthbound telescopes. Those win on aperture for sure, but Hubble is the only large telescope outside of the atmosphere. This gives access to wider wavelengths and removes all other atmospheric influences. That is the reason, the final passing of Hubble would be a huge loss, if not replaced.

There are several aspects we could improve on the current situation: make "better" telescopes or make more telescope. Having only 1, soon 0 space-based telescopes is cutting it very thin. Having 5-10 would increase our research a lot as more things could be observed.

Of course, eventually there will be a need for large space telescopes too, probably those will be enabled by Starship. But first we should use the currently available technology to make sure we don't fall back into the level of the 80ies when Hubble dies. And use modern technology to make this a "cheap" effort vs. the extremely expensive Hubble.

These are dark patterns only if you exaggerate them as such. There is a lot of good that you can do along the same lines. Reflecting to your points:

1. Communication is key. People can't magically share your experience, you have to share it with them deliberately.

2. Basically the same topic. The brain is lazy and often tries to take the shorter route. Regarding other people, it's easier to think that they are simple, one-dimensional beings, and as such, it's easier to judge them. So, in order to be viewed as a human, you need to share what it means being you. If you humanize yourself, and try to remember others as human, you will get more positive outcomes not because ugly politics, but because you are a better company.

3. Caring about problems people don't like to care about? I think that can be really fulfilling and yes, if others see that you're not afraid to tackle undesirable problems, they'll think you're useful.

4. This is something that is a true bad behavior. There's also a flipside that you'll now be stuck with your miserable code yourself. Also any competent manager or teammate will spot this and work against you, which you don't want.

My advice would be that it's best to stay away from workplaces where politics go like this, it just will bring misery on the long term. One has to play the game to some extent, but there's a lot of difference in only playing the game and using everyone, and just adapting to how humans work in a social setting and working with that.

These studies almost always compare typical western diet omnivores to health-conscious vegans, which in itself is fallacious. Health-conscious omnivores will eat drastically different compared to typical omnivores. Exactly as you put it, people who care for their diet are likely to be of better shape. BMI is a bad stat here though: it is likely one will get bigger from eating proper meat than they would on a vegan diet, without any training involved. BMI doesn't account for leanness or muscle mass.

The biggest link between obesity and food is sugar intake. The thing that's making most omnivores fat is the needless sugar flavoring and breading surrounding a bad piece of food (be it vegetable, meat, fish, fruit, whatever) as something delicious. Nutritional sciences contradicts itself at any corner, finding healthy vegans, healthy vegetarians, healthy carnivores and healthy omnivores, except for the part where sugar is undoubtedly spiking insulin. Insulin in turn sets people up to be more easily overeat, as well as storing all those sugars as fat more easily.

Considering health-conscious people will avoid these foods, they will eat less isolated sugar, fructose and foods high on the glycemic index, even if vegans end up getting most of their daily energy from fruit. Fruit offsets this somewhat thanks to the fiber you're eating with it (also why people say not to drink juice, or at least drink the pulp with it), but fiber can only do so much and fiber being a "mostly good" thing is also being put under scrutiny.
I really don't understand this. What mechanism is there to ensure an NFT was created by the 'right person/people'? (whatever this means).

I could make an NFT for Mickey Mouse, and it _should_ be worthless, but if Disney created one then maybe it could be worth something?
It all depends on whether you understand what it means "to understand".

There are two schools of thought:

School 1: User's knowledge (this idea goes all the way back to Plato). You know how to use existing CPUs and existing programming language. This is akin to understanding the existing limits of existing technology.

School 2: Maker's knowledge. You know how to invent CPUs and programming languages from first principles.

The latter school inevitably leads to Wadler's law: semantics.

It leads to asking "What is it that I want to express and why?". This mode of thought pre-supposes pragmatic/goal-driven intent.
On the other hand, I'd fully expect NASA/JPL to have IMU telemetry from the EDL. If I'm not completely mistaken, they would eventually get published in PDS here: https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/data.html

For example for MSL (Curiosity, the previous rover) the EDL CK and SPK provides orientation and position data if I'm interpreting this description right: https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/pds/data/msl-m-spice-6-v1...

The downside being that it'll take probably 6-12 months until the data is put to public

(EDL = entry, descent, landing; IMU = inertial measurement unit; PDS = planetary data system)

> You might just be an edge case.

Yeah, aka the assumption is fucked. This dude cranks out shit on his blog as if it’s based on some objective stuff but realistically it’s a bunch of evidence based on his lifestyle.

> It's not just the cost of a new car. It's also the time and energy lost to the commute, the increased risk of a serious accident, the opportunity cost of all that time spent in traffic.

That’s the flaw again. “Time and energy” is not lost in a commute unless you waste it. If you are a competent SWE, you should be able to spend that time thinking about architecture, design plans, algorithms, data flows, UX, and on and on. Not to mention you can keep up on industry podcasts, industry news, and a bunch of other audio only shit.

BTW, “increased risk of a serious accident” is yet another misunderstanding of a stat. “Deaths per million miles” in the US is a general stat averaged across commuters, drunk drivers, poor driving conditions, old cars, and bad roads.

I’d posit that my chance of death putting along on the 101 at 20-30 mph during rush hour in a car with modern safety features for an entire year was lower than on a single night on a two lane road up in Sonoma on the weekend.

All driving is not equal, and that’s just one of the many mistakes the money mustache blog makes. I’m all for promoting objective analysis of costs, but it needs to be done on a case-by-case basis. Trying to make general financial advice based on averages is as much folly as trying to make a shirt that fits everyone by sizing it to the average.
I'm not sure this analogy holds, exactly, for project hosting.

Washing isn't inherently collaborative, and the more one looks at the specifics, the more divergent the situations seem.

For example, Git(hub/lab) offer free project hosting while running one's own server would incur costs. This can be a big deal for open source, because paying bills or handling money tends to force a more complex structure on your "organisation".

For project hosting, there are network effects in terms of project discoverability, user account management, operational convenience (data durability, patching, ensuring uptime), consistency of interface and third party integration which tend to make using a centralised service more attractive than running your own, all else being equal.

It seems to me that only quite bad mismanagement of the major project hosting services could reverse this trend.
When you have 2.8 billion people using a web app, that's way too many people to be a community, let alone a useful one.

Facebook or Twitter as a whole is not a community. You can build actual community on top of them if you want. I have no objections against moderators of these groups doing their moderation, if I don't like your moderation I can always leave your groups or unfriend you.

The problem is, Facebook and Twitter themselves are censoring content. Apparently, FB even censors private messages with political views they don't like.
Most don't worry and it isn't A Good Thing. Most vegans need more B12 than they get. It really does require bloodwork at a doctor more often to eat, let's call it, outside the norm. Otherwise it could cause problems.

False equivalency. If you eat brain of prion-infested sheep, it will end with your death. With cannibalism it continues after members of your community eat you at your funeral, that allows for much wider spread of the disease. We don't practice cannibalism because of our own cultural norms, but that doesn't mean there aren't other good reasons for not doing it. (And question is whether out cultural norms against cannibalism didn't develop just to save us from this, after all there are speculations that it was kuru-like disease that caused extinction of Neanderthals[1])

China is the most populous country on Earth, and geographically, one of the largest. It has followed a similar strategy as New Zealand and Australia. That strategy has worked to keep the country essentially CoVID-19-free over the past year.
The numbers absolutely do support my claim.

A quick check shows the U.K. death toll increased by 15% in 2020 (600,000 in 2019, 690,000 in 2020). That was WITH the lockdowns in place.

40,000 people died of Covid in January 2021 alone as a result of the government's ineffective response leading up to Christmas.

Compare that to New Zealand’s 26 total Covid deaths, or South Korea’s 1,669 total Covid deaths.

I think my numbers support my claims perfectly well.

> Overseas parts of France are fully integrated in the republic, and citizens there have the same rights as in the mainland.

I'm sure you know that the exact same claim was made about French Algeria.

"the Mediterranean coastal region of Algeria, housing the vast majority of its population, was ruled as an integral part of France from 1848 until its independence. "

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Algeria

Such statements like yours were exactly what was repeatedly screamed out by perhaps what you would call your hero?, Jean-Marie Le Pen. His daughter also recently said all that torturing of some folks was good for Algeria. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20170420-le-pen-french-col...

Vous savez exactement ce que vous êtes.

> There have been referendums in New Caledonia about independance and people there still want to be part of France.

Again, such facts were also claimed about Algeria using the exact same tactics. It is not until 1961 where an actual fair referendum was held. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0035853590845221...

As one of France's longest-held overseas territories, Algeria became a destination for hundreds of thousands of European immigrants known as colons, and later as pieds-noirs. However, the indigenous Muslim population remained the majority of the territory's population throughout its history. In 1835, indigenous rebels organized the Algerian resistance movement against French settlement; the rebellion was suppressed in 1903 after the "pacification campaign" by the colonial forces, who used chemical weapons, mass executions of prisoners and civilians, concentration camps and other atrocities in order to put them down.

>What would a car engine look like

I know it would have to look way different.

>Thing is, they're designed for assembly.

Instead design for disassembly.

Seems to me the first single milestone would be to design for simple rapid robot removal of the whole engine.

No further disassembly required.

Even if replacement with a new freshly-tested engine needed significant manual intervention, it would still be a huge step. Especially if it was easy enough for a robot to remove to begin with.

Later upgrade the auto-removing robot to do the auto-diagnostics/auto-final-validation-before-deployment process.

Even if actual repairs still need to be done manually.

Reach this milestone without anyone ever wanting to step back, then maybe consider having the robot start removing your spark plugs rather than using an established expert.
The issue here is branding, not engineering or design.

Systemd is an umbrella under which many key userspace tools are being developed. The actual init system itself is a lot bigger than the old SysV Init system was, but it is separate than all these other things that also say Systemd on them.

The best analogy is GNU. You don't complain that GNU contains a compiler, and also a text editor, and also C System Library do you? GNU is a project that develops a load of components that play well with each other. Systemd is the same.
So you have a Google server running in your PC? Copyleft only requires disclosure for source code that's actually shipped (which definetly applies to Intel).

> Perhaps unpopular opinion, but the US vaccination system is about the worst when it comes to preventing spread. Instead, it seems to be attempting to prevent death.

This is by far the most common approach around the world - the same approach is taken in the UK, for example. It's in place for three reasons:

1. We worked out that about 90% of deaths in the first wave would have been prevented if we had been able to vaccinate the most vulnerable groups. This is A Good Thing, both in ite own terms, but also in terms of preventing healthcare systems being overwhelmed.

2. There was no evidence at the beginning that the vaccine prevented transmissibility - only that it prevented serious illness. So the preventing deaths strategy made sense.

3. It's simple to organise and roll-out at speed - and speed is of the essence. Doctors have people's ages and medical vulnerability on record, so you can very quickly draw up lists of who is eligible for vaccination in each cohort. Compare this with trying to arrange vaccination by (say) profession.

The whole thing relies on a weird level of trust and belief in what other people believe to be valuable.
The money doesn’t disappear, it goes back into the economy. People use it to buy things they need. Most sane people outside of the 1% don’t just pathologically hoard wealth and jerk off to it.
The point is that that isn't what "hedging" means. If all your wealth is in one thing then you take on all of the risk with that thing. Property, fiat money, diamonds, cryptocurrency, whatever. How big a risk you perceive that to be is irrelevant.

The "debates" on HN about crypto always devolve into the pro and anti factions talking past each other which is very dull. A little linguistic confusion makes a nice change.
Great to hear you are healthier.

Yes I would bet just being deliberate and having a philosophy will have an impact.

>Technologies are idea-based, and culture is their memory.

This coda quote belongs as intro thesis, instead. The conclusion should have been: technology found in common artifacts and archived catalogs was popular, explaining historical occurrence. And it happens that popular technology takes similar shapes, because it solves the same problems in similar and effective ways.

Which is really a way of describing the thinking of man -- in other words, the abstracted container and transmitter of the technology -- as something which has remained remarkably similar over the surveyed occurrences of those popular technologies.

The immortality metaphor clouds that, unless you go all the way. To think of another set of alien species of technology requires a different way of thinking, which we can only speculate about, like about alien species which might live on a planet otherwise identical to our own.
Is there a specific fact, letters etc. from the time you’re arguing against? From what I recall his barbarism was seen to stand out at the time in England and Ireland. He used it as a type of shock and awe, so when arrived at the next town they’d just surrender or flee.
I don’t know how I feel about Wayland. On the one hand it’s being made by x11 devs so I think they more than anyone else know why they would need to start from scratch over improving x11. On the other hand, moving away from x breaks so many things and I haven’t heard anyone singing it’s praises yet about how happy they are to use it.

I understand apps are breaking because they relied on features of x that were security risks but it doesn’t seem like Wayland provides a safe or convenient alternative to the way apps were doing things before.

I wonder if it will ever reach the adoption level of x11
Wrong. Most NFTs contain a content-address (hash) that is pointing to data on IPFS. The buyer can pin and make sure the data stays alive for everyone. Kind of like torrents but for web.
No, that defeats the fucking point of open source. Nowhere did I say it was a legal obligation. I’m saying it’s not an obligation at all because that’s the entire reason it’s open source to begin with.

I write open source software. I don’t want my users means tested by the moral brigade to determine they should have coughed up money. I put it out there to literally prevent people from wasting humanity re-inventing the wheel.

It’s right in the damn license. If you want to create an obligation, stay the fuck out of the open source community.
Interesting take. I would say that the field is actually less dogmatic than it's ever been. Chomsky's personal influence is waning, and as the prestige of pure generative linguistics fades, younger researchers are having to broaden out their research programs to stay competitive.

The state which has the most international arrivals (NSW) just had its first locally transmitted (ie not in hotel quarantine) case in 55 days.

The positive case is a security guard that works at quarantine hotels. Immediate and immense efforts have been put into place to contact trace as many contacts as possible, and to sequence the genome to understand the direct link between existing cases.

We expect these occaisonal breaches in quarantine, and as long as they remain occaisonal they are relatively cheap and easy to contain. Meanwhile restrictions continue to ease and life is almost as normal as you could want - and will certainly be even better once the vaccination program is in full swing.

The mechanism that the "right people" communicate which minting wallets are the "legit" ones. I.e. even in the less-crazy levels (i.e. not thousands of dollars), you'll see artists announce their wallet key on Twitter/Instagram/their website, and it's on the buyer to check that what they buy has the right source. (If people think that your bootleg mickey mouse NFT has value and pay for it, well that's their decision, they just might not find anyone who agrees later)
> Vaccinating the most mobile people and isolating the most "immobile" (retirees, children, sick) is very logical.

Only if you know that the vaccine prevents or even reduces transmissibility - which we didn't until well after the vaccine roll-out
