I love in person events.

Online events give me loads of fatigue. In-person events energize me. The backroom conversations are why they’re great.

At the beginning I was always into the speakers. Later I realized they were really a gimmick to bring us together.

Clubhouse captures some of this in person magic. There was also a book club that was pretty good. Slate I think it’s called.

Let’s hope Apple can capture this. :)

Of course you need a variety of data sources in different contexts, but I don't think you need to put a microphone on people during their daily life to build an accurate model. Call center exchanges might be a good source of data, or recorded student online conversations on a variety of subjects.
Ask HN: Which newsletters made you a better engineer?
I'm a happy subscriber to several business-focused newsletters about the technology industry and would love to find similar quality newsletters which discuss topics closer to code.
I never used bitpay but I don't think it's their fault to have to request passport verification. As a money transmitter they are required to answer to KYC rules, which includes passport or other docs verification to ensure you are who you are.

If you are wondering why Paypal never asked for your passport, it's probably because you eventually linked Paypal to another KYC-compatible entity, such as your bank (by linking your bank, sending money with your credit card, etc).

I assume in the case of bitpay you would only link your btc wallet which in itself doesn't offer KYC verifications.

I'm not going to respond to everything, because I honestly don't want to keep this discussion going forever, so let me pick just one thing:

> Can you cite an example of this with Amazon or a similarly large company? As far as I know this is false, when it comes to labor laws. Companies that continue to commit the same breaches face increasingly severe penalties, and in some cases the potential for criminal prosecution against the company operators.

I'm not sure how this breaks down exactly, but this asserts that there are at least 12 violations directly related to employment issues, and 68 safety violations - but I think that rolls in both workplace safety issues, and aviation issues:

https://violationtracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/amazoncom

Since the year 2000, they've apparently been fined 100 million dollars. Last year, they had an income of 22 BILLION dollars.

As an analogy, this means that if I were Mr. Amazon and stole $20 from one of my employees, my fine would be half a penny, except that fine includes every other illegal thing I'd gotten caught doing that year.

I don't have any numbers on criminal prosecution.

> Your last sentence is just gross. It's fascinating when people need to resort to vile imagery to get their point across.

Well, if it helps you feel better, it doesn't seem like anything I say helps get my point across.
Well, obliviously they do have a comprehensive model since they are able to:

1. start the most advanced rocket engines (full-flow staged combustion cycle engines [1])

2. ascend to 10km gradually shutting down (and throttling) engines to keep relatively constant speed while methane and oxygen are depleting

3. switch from vertical ascent to horizontal descent flight profile, and from 10km "fall" (or rather fall/glide) into the 30 meters target of the landing pad

4. reach soft landing (almost accomplished by the SN10)

BTW Roughly only the first two of those items are in the "normal" checklist of any other rocket company for an orbital rocket.

SpaceX is following somewhat Soviet rocket development approach with many testing, which is not a bad thing by itself. It is just different to what we are used with NASA/ULA/et al. SpaceX is also very open with their testing, you can literally see the rocket from 50 meters away, and its launch (from 8km) freely. We obviously have an observational bias here, while not knowing how many failures others have.

I do not see what is wrong about this part (other than the illegal(?) nexus with lawyers). CC licences still have to be complied with (or the user can contact the copyright holder for an alternative licence).

This is the same process that produced the F9, now up to some 115 flights, many reused and reflown. It's very hard to argue with success.

Or, more likely, they'll just revert back to rips from Google Images. Maybe that's just the cynic in me, though.

It exploded mid air just after landing burn started.

In this video you can hear engines start then an immediate explosion https://mobile.twitter.com/TheFavoritist/status/137689513012...

Possible the burn started late right above the ground. But I reckon we would have seen a larger explosion on the cameras in that case.

> Unless the Raptor engines they flew were also old and obsolete.

They were, SN15+ will use pre-production Raptors instead of prototype ones. A few of the newer engines have already been spotted, they are much cleaner in design and their mounts are rotated compared to the earlier engines (making them incompatible with the rockets that have flown so far)
How to Analyze Incidents Better with the Right Metrics
For me one of the most important things about attending conferences is meeting people. Just for networking or some ad hoc problem solving. As well as being somewhat "away" from work.

I'm curious because so far I haven't attended any online conference: What has been done /experiment with during the last year especially to foster interaction between the people attending instead of just having someone talking into a camera?
Ooh do planes too.

Nice news: the link in that HN article goes to backstage.crew.co, which was 302ing to dribbble.com. And while IA didn't save a copy of the dribbble page...

...it did save copies of the original links before they started 302ing. In fact, it saved across two different site reorganizations,

https://web.archive.org/web/20160504110408/http://backstage.... (backstage.crew.co)

https://web.archive.org/web/20160903203745/https://crew.co/b... (crew.co/backstage)

Both pages are fully intact; I think the theme on the 2nd one is a bit nicer. (This feels like a bit of a "1st-world-problems" discussion, making commentary about the most aesthetically pleasing presentation of obscurely archived webpages that've officially fallen off the internet.)

Yes, but those numbers increase rapidly in other states. If you think 3.4 is bad, Alabama’s 22.2 deaths/100k is really scary. Massachusetts is a bit worse than Switzerland, Alabama is similar to a war torn third world country.

In some states, like Wyoming, almost all of the deaths are suicides, so you are unlikely to be victimized by gun violence by someone else (the same is probably true with Switzerland, suicides were a big problem when I lived there). So feel free to visit Yellowstone, but maybe avoid that vacation to Alabama you’ve been dreaming about.
>This makes Taiwan LESS strategic, not more, for US security, because now the US can build its own chips and isn't vulnerable to a Chinese invasion on Taiwan.

I think you're failing to take into account a number of things. First and foremost the very foundation of the US is based on respecting IP law given we're almost entirely an "information" society. If we suddenly steal TSMC's business secrets because it's convenient, what's preventing Europe and our allies from taking ours? Why would they respect IP law if we don't?

Second, regardless of the technical reliance we have on Taiwan, there's no planet on which the US wants China expanding and taking over other countries in Asia for political reasons.

The factories in the US ensure that the US keeps sending business to TSMC.
that's also my point.

oh, I don't find that controversial in case my lack of stated opinion prompted someone to fill in their own.
But it isn't the researchers doing this. This is university PR.
How does one discover said companies providing a better service?

As an example, would Tesla be as successful without the massive PR efforts of Elon Musk? Is that marketing or something else?
> No, it can just use a different variable each loop turn?

How does that work? The call-frame needs to be of fixed-size, but it's rarely knowable at compile time how many iterations a loop will perform. Unless we begin heap-allocating loop variables or treat each loop iteration as a function call (both of which will kill performance, I think), I don't see how this could work?
> This makes Taiwan LESS strategic, not more, for US security, because now the US can build its own chips and isn't vulnerable to a Chinese invasion on Taiwan

Sort of.

TSMC's interests do not perfectly align with Taiwan's. TSMC putting fabs in the well-defended territory of its customers makes sense.

That said, China being able to credibly threaten a critical supply line is a security issue for America. It constrains U.S. response options to an invasion, threatened or acted upon. Removing that constraint does make Taiwan a bit less critical to America. But U.S.-Taiwanese relations predate TSMC. On the net, these plants free America to be more aggressive with China, which is broadly in Taiwan's interest.

Why now? In a word: automation. Semiconductor manufacturing has become far less labor intensive since TSMC was founded in 1987. That makes the American labor premium less material.

So the thing that paper does is it assumes you can make warp bubbles in any reference frame. The original paper makes one warp bubble and this doesn't lead to anything paradoxical.

But if I can make two warp bubbles in two different frames, I can make a round trip that arrives before it starts.

So you need to violate special relativity in a global way to avoid these issues. You have to have a spacetime where only certain warp geometries are possible.

I apologize for being a bit impatient before, these issues are subtle. The only real way to get it is to bear with the math onesself.
Note that this is a problem because there are more people than jobs, so the "least favored people" can be an unemployable underclass. It wouldn't be so bad if we had a more robust work economy (fewer hours per worker, more workers) or a solid "employer of last resort".
Considering the emphasis on real time data in MSFS, I'm surprised that shipping data wasn't already used to place ships in the game map.

I wonder, did I do something wrong (I'm not a .NET developer by any stretch) or does it simply take that much time on the CLR?

I've noticed this in the Rust embedded community, especially with STM32 HALs. Each MCU family is run by its own maintainers, and despite the overlap in the hardware, there's fragmentation among features and code style among between the HALs.

The part about priorities is especially relevant - A user of the library may care mostly about features, and correct implementation on a hardware layer, while the repo owners (who don't have much time available) stall bug fix and feature PRs over code style disagreements, long-term maintainability concerns, or not (no longer?) having the time available.

The code style issues can turn what looks to a use to be a clean kill (fixing a bug, adding a peripheral), into an extended back-and-forth, where one party loses interest.
I tried but this phrase stood out to me:

> They're also supposed to eliminate unnecessary material by making the battery itself a part of car's structural chassis.

That implies they're believing the article isn't talking about a structural chassis. Why are you treating this like a fanboy competition? It can both be true that Tesla is coming to market with a real product & that this announcement is an important advancement in the state of the art for structural batteries. They are totally different ends of the spectrum with the latter portending where the tech may be heading whereas the former is focused on proving that it's ready for large scale prime time.

This reminds me of 500px. I used to be a huge fan of 500px. It was the most beautiful photography site on the internet, designed with attention to every tiny detail. It allowed you to share your photos under a CC license, presented them beautifully and had fantastic curated feeds with photos by fantastic photographers.

In 2018 they were acquired by an investor company and partnered exclusively with Getty. As a contributor, you were now pushed to "earn money with your pictures", CC licenses were discouraged and (I think) eventually removed. The site stopped getting optimized for aesthetics, it was now getting optimized for selling stock photos. I deleted all my photos and left.

I hope this doesn't happen to Unsplash. But I'm not optimistic.
It's not like they have a choice. KYC is a standard requirements when dealing with money transfers.
I read it again and no, it doesn't. It claims that certain things the author happens to believe in are rejected by the GOP.

I think anybody who claims to represent "the science" or "scientists" already should be mistrusted. It's an anti-science stance. In my opinion, proper science should constantly look for ways to disprove its theories, not the other way round. So saying one should "believe science" is anti-science.

The case for Covid-vaccines simply doesn't seem to be as clear cut as for example the author claims.

Here in Germany they just halted vaccinations with Astra Zeneca, and there is a lot of debate about it. I guess the author of the SciAM article would say the German government is anti-science, too. In reality, there are aspects in favour of vaccination and aspects against it.

I think the anti-science notions people worry about are more about distrust of official proclamations.

My father did local delivery for UPS for 30 years. According to him, this is not something he or anyone he knew did, ever (including the long haulers). UPS is unionized, so maybe that has something to do with it. My uncle worked for USPS for 35 years and he has reported the same. So I don't think you can hold up examples of drivers peeing in bottles and taking meth as the status quo when both UPS and USPS don't drive under these conditions. Fedex I'm not sure about because they are all contractors, so they may be under the same pressures as Amazon. But that's all the more reason for Amazon drivers to unionize. I'm sure your could find some horror stories, but this is a pressure the union works explicitly against and it seems effective.

lol - what a bunch of nonsense this whole thing is!

i mean both the fake crypto enthusiasts who post this "crypto is winning" junk and the KYC businesses who introduce friction and complexity without any benefits or reasons to have crypto involved in the process.

for well and widely known reasons, crypto (apart from stable coins, which in this KYC setting have no advantages over fiat) is completely unsuitable for payments, plus you hav the KYC/AML nonsense to deal with, and your tax reporting burden increases.

this reminds me of those sad retailers who back in 2016 added BTC to their list of accepted payments mechanisms only to see $183 in BTC revenue in an entire year. what a joke...
There's a lot in this article, but one of the key points is that in addition to their upstream and downstream competencies, the largest oil companies (excepting Exxon and Chevron) are also extremely successful at trading commodities, including oil, natural gas, and more importantly biofuels and electricity. As these companies attempt to manage the energy transition, they see trading as a way to juice the profitability of renewable projects.

> As BP shifts its investments from fossil fuels to renewable energy, its traders will help it juice the relatively low returns on those investments, Bernard Looney, who last year succeeded Dudley as CEO, said in a presentation to investors in 2020. Renewable energy projects typically generate returns of 5% to 6%, he said, but the company’s expert traders can add about 2 percentage points to that.

The shared for-profit part of the scheme. It's one thing to hire a lawyer to get a license respected, it's another to institute to what amounts to a fraud scheme: Publish images with as hidden license requirements as possible, "hire" a lawyer for free with a profit sharing agreement, then sue who you can. That profit sharing agreement is illegal here, but hard to prove, and the Abmahnindustrie is actively protected by politicians (many of which are lawyers, pure coincidence of course).

Edit: When they send in that notice (die Abmahnung) they will ask for money for incurred costs. Since they did not pay anything in advance - the lawyer worked for free - there were no costs. That's not legal here.

Things like that make me shake my head every time I hear "Go is easy to learn."

No. It's not. There are way too many dark corners with things lurking there to bite you. It just "looks easy" until you try to do something non-trivial.

Used to love it but the more I learn about it the more I fall out of love. I can't help to wonder, would it be so successful if it weren't for all the Google-hype and the push because of kubernetes?

I don't mean to bad-mouth it. It's just that I invested time and effort to what now seems to me a bad language. A good language -IMO- should get out of the way once you spend some time with it. Be as transparent as possible so that you can focus on the real problem. And do that in a safe way. But here I am in 2021 having to worry about all different types of nils. Or having to decide which way to go about marshalling JSONs. Why put at least one inefficient way to do it? I know, it makes code reviews fun. And don't get me started with all the conventions and whatnot that half the community sees as holy - if they are why not putting them in the compiler like they did with gofmt and get done with it? I mean this whole thing started off on very good premises -cut down complexity, simplify, get unproductive arguments out of the way- but somehow it looks like it stuck somewhere halfway there in a grey zone that converts it to the new java fast. No problem with java here but I guess if they wanted to create a new javaesque ecosystem/community then why go to all that trouble. So my guess is that they didn't.

Dunno...
