There has been no space exploration program without missed deadlines and budget overruns.

Lots of space exploration projects have gone completely sideways.

In contrast, SpaceX has made advancements at an incredible rate and on a tighter budget than any comparable program. If there even is a comparable program any more!

China is moving fast, but far behind SpaceX at this point.

Russia's capabilities have stalled.

NASA's capabilities have dramatically regressed. Their current promises are for a rocket that costs something on the order of $1 billion per launch. That's a promise many would laud them for breaking!

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Honestly really confused, Starlink hasn't been that behind the deadlines and the Space X launches have brought down space launch costs so not sure what exactly you're talking about.

What is a good way to use 3.35.4 on a system with a Debian version that comes with an older SQLite version?
Palahniuk got his fame almost solely by pirated copies of the "Fight Club". I remember first stealing it from a Russian FTP-site "Deep Repository" in 1996. Pirate Bay came years later.

Literary critics did not get the modern references like "I have constructed my life from Ikea-catalog". And they truly hated misogynist Jordan Peterson - style analysis of man's life "men are all brought up by women" and "everyman lives his days in quiet desperation".
But that’s exactly what psychedelics do, they rewire the brain. In neuroscience terms they disrupt the default mode network. In other words they open your mind up and allow it to break free of the tendencies, thought patterns and habits.

This is why they’re more akin to therapy than recreational drugs
This is untrue and a sure way to corrupt your database[1].

From sqlite.org on how to corrupt your database:

> 1.2. Backup or restore while a transaction is active
Systems that run automatic backups in the background might try to make a backup copy of an SQLite database file while it is in the middle of a transaction. The backup copy then might contain some old and some new content, and thus be corrupt.

> The best approach to make reliable backup copies of an SQLite database is to make use of the backup API that is part of the SQLite library. Failing that, it is safe to make a copy of an SQLite database file as long as there are no transactions in progress by any process. If the previous transaction failed, then it is important that any rollback journal (the -journal file) or write-ahead log (the -wal file) be copied together with the database file itself.

What you need is to follow the guide[2] and use the Backup API or the VACUUM INTO[3] statement to create a new database on the side.

The available $6bn probably wanted a greater percentage of shares than the pre-existing shareholders considered suitable, in terms of dilution.
Sure, for weed maybe.

But psychedelics are very different. They're really, genuinely not addictive -- probably because they're not "fun." In fact, they're exhausting. You may feel a lot better after, the experience may be fascinating, but you're in absolutely no hurry to do it again. The whole thing lasts a few hours, but literally feels like months, with numerous epochs along the way.

It's not like the kind of hollow calories of a bag of Cheetos, it's more like a long, difficult workout. That's hard to productize in that way.
Wouldn't the study design under exaggerate the effect of psilocybin, if anything?
What does "can't run embedded" mean exactly?

I've run Postgres in a pure RAM only configuration, never touching the disk except to start.

If you mean "it can't be compiled in to another application as a library", then yes that's true - it's not an embedded database.

Malapropism? Can just call it a typo (which is incorrect but people get it).

> The reusable feature of SpaceX is a business mistake, as noted by both ULA and ESA.

The ESA analysis was perfectly correct, for the launch rates they were projecting. Since then, SpaceX has unveiled plans and started filling out a constellation of 42000 satellites. That rather increased launch rates, to the point where SpaceX launched more than half of all the mass to orbit last year. If they stick to their schedule, they will launch 75% this year.

This changes the math of how profitable reuse is.
I would be shocked if that sub wasn't thoroughly astro-turfed. The constant influx of new devs and repetitive questions, the relative lack of experienced devs and the potentially large payoff make it the ideal breeding ground for manipulation.
> I don't believe...

The good news is that studies such as this produce empirical, scientific evidence that supercedes anecdotes and individuals' belief patterns -- whether they're negative or skeptical (as yours) or hyper-positive cure-alls (eg from psychonauts)
The $15 is debatable, mempool.space is closer to $5 for confirming within 60 minutes, which is many factors faster than what Mastercard do in the traditional world.

I would argue though that the magic of Crypto isn't buying coffees. After Silkroad we have seen very little interest in using Crypto as money, and even with "high" fees, alternatives have not become desirable for their ability to transact cheaply. I would also point out that even the likes of Coinbase have a 0.5% fee before spreads. Using crypto over cash or card (at least in Europe) isn't a cheaper of faster process end to end.

IMHO Bitcoin IS an offshore account, and the ability to move wealth anywhere in the world, without a middle man, entirely permission-less and trust-less for even at $15 is a massive achievement. Don't get me wrong, it can be cheaper, but what Bitcoin can do, and how individuals from retail investors to publicly listed companies are holding Bitcoin its a massive signal in terms of whats actually desired.
What does it mean "like other critical projects"?

Do you mean like buildings or lawyers? Certified AI architecture now? Nobody even knows what such process would entail!

The biggest hole is that the AI or statistical systems are not explainable. When push comes to shove, their reasoning is a black hole. Any such system, whether ran by people or automatic, is instant corruption and inequity magnet.

5 if statements are explainable and subject to proper scrutiny.

Do you think you will be able to get the same up/down speeds once they go mainstream and start adding more users to each node? This is a concern I don't really see discussed, would be nice to have actual data from Spacex on this.

Those look like really good stats but my concern is that the satellites are likely to have a muxing limit where performance eventually degrades with more users.
If you return the cart, then on one hand you do what's best for the individuals that might have been inconvenienced by your not returning of that cart.

But at the same time you enable the decision makers to keep avoiding introducing the policy that will make the carts be always returned.

So what should you do?

Be the person that is kind to individuals and labeled as "good" by policy makers that are exploiting your morals to keep sub-optimal solution that is cheaper for them?

Or not return it and be the asshole, but make it a little bit more obvious that the current solution isn't really working?

Good and evil are not one number on the axis. Good and evil are separate concepts, and both are multidimensional.

I think it's going to be hard to create regulations for an industry that largely doesn't exist yet, without strangling it at birth.

The rules don't really make much sense either:

> Social scoring systems, such as those launched in China that track the trustworthiness of people and businesses, are classified as "contravening the Union values" and are going to be banned.

Does this mean stuff like Yelp reviews will be banned now? Or is that not "AI" enough to count?

Between this and the horrendous anti-GM laws, Europe will struggle to compete in the future. But I guess it'll create jobs for a whole new load of bureaucrats.
>but reporting that this is what parents often tell their kids in private //

I correct my childrens' pronunciations. I've honestly never thought of it as a class thing. In part it's "inherited", so it could have consciously been a class thing for one of my ancestors. But really to me it just seems necessary for preliterate speakers to understand the proper way to say a word based on its spelling, which they don't know. I find myself correcting USA-ian word use ("garbage") and pronunciation far more with my youngest than I had to at that age with my oldest ... we probably let him watch too much TV (several shows, like Paw Patrol have shifted to USA versions from British English versions).

It's hard to discern every phoneme from a new word, and hard to say some of them.

I do shift my accent, and vocabulary, to mark myself as a local I guess (when I'm back in that area of the country). If I get to use certain words in their localised (to about a 20mi long area) meaning it makes me happy for some reason. But I've never consciously worked on my accent to sound more/less posh; but have modified it to be more understood.

My wife is what I call a 'sympathetic speaker', she very quickly adopts the accent of those she's speaking with. An interesting phenomenon.

I highly recommend Matt Stoller’s work on the subject.

There is nothing wrong with definitions of anti-trust, it’s the enforcement that has been gutted since the 1980’s.

If there had been reasonable enforcement GAFA and many others would literally not exist today to begin with. There would be no regulatory approval for all the merging.

Debt is NEVER a positive thing; not even when it's leveraged, not even when it's used to lower one's taxes. All debt is toxic, for as long as one carries debts, one is not free, not to mention that in case of non-liquidity id est inability to service debt, one can easily lose everything. The current economists' debt is good hypothesis will lead to a big reset and a global economic crash.

By the way, you incorrectly assume that I am financially illiterate. I have done more than 100,000 trades with complex financial instruments. Debt is extremely toxic and dangerous.

I see, it [apparently] may still have serious implications. I still consider a serious discussion to be one where you can be right and I can be wrong - politely. It is then up to you to enlighten. Next round you get to be wrong and ill be there to point it out.

The exception not the rule. Normally I don't reply if I disagree and you downvote.

Now that I think about it the downvotes should make an interesting data-set to judge the founders by.
My hunch is that it has more to do with the amount of money you've taken from prominent/powerful/connected Rich Guys than how strictly large you are or how many you employ.

"can't run embedded" means you have to have a dedicated DB server process. For anything I would use a database for this is a non issue, but if you want a DB in your mobile app (for example) it might be.
No, not really, it's getting pretty bad in the southern states lately, or perhaps it's just the propaganda I prefer...but it does appear like a bunch of red states have passed abortion restrictions, some states worse than others, and these laws will be challenged in court, and with the supreme court being the way it is, it's really iffy.

Taking a bit overly generous interpretation of redis_mlc's comment I assume they are referring to how SpaceX's reusable rockets brought the cost of rockets too low combined with the demand for rockets actually being much more inelastic leading SpaceX with a bunch of cheap rockets without adequate buyers. Aka why SpaceX went forward with the StarLink program as it requires a massive number of satellites
I mean we could just discuss the issue of freedom and making it illegal for people to grow and consume a mushroom and stop making it about just drugs. Marijuana is the same way. If it isn't for someone then they shouldn't do it and we should make as much information available about something available and provide safe environments, but making it illegal especially when plenty of people have experienced positive effects sometimes profound religious experiences it is just another mechanism of control and taking away freedom and natural rights.

> One key difference between wxWidgets and Qt or GTK is that wxWidgets, as far as I know, uses native controls to create the UI, unlike Qt or GTK which draw everything themselves. Qt is really good at imitating a native feeling but wxWidgets provides a real native UX.

This is kind of a strawman, especially with wxPython. The basic widgets are native (like e.g. a button, text input, checkbox, combobox), yes, but most of the "advanced" widgets aren't (e.g. AUI, list and tree controls, which are not native on Gtk, dataview, propgrid, ...), and everything in wx.lib isn't (avoid wx.lib.agw btw.). Most of the latter category has no or limited support for Hi-DPI. Most of the latter neither feels nor looks native, to varying degrees.

Personally I find my opinion of wx has sort of evolved like an inverted parabola. It started off kinda low, because a lot of stuff has confusing names, things are done in mildly weird ways and stuff like the layout system works in mysterious ways. It reached a high point at "this is pretty ok". Kinda went downhill from there: the layout system is just a massive pita, basic things seem to be missing because they're basically not doable with that layout system (e.g. notice how there really isn't anything in wx which provides an automatically line-wrapping text/label widget), support for rich-text/HTML/markup is abysmal, the event system is a PITA, most of the advanced widgets have are barely usable from both a programmer's and a a user's point of view (wxPropertyGrid...), there is a distinct lack of APIs for system integration (try putting or getting HTML from/to the clipboard, which is a one-liner with Qt), somehow not-flicker-free drawing is still a thing in wx, and it is not taken to be granted, the menu system is the thinnest of wrappers around the lowest of common denominators; QAction/QMenu is a far superior system of interactions. There is a pattern to this; wx generally chooses to make something a "thin wrapper over lcd". Qt generally chooses to rather make a stable abstraction (works on OS 1, probably works on OS 2), and, well, abstract. Qt has Model/View, which can be a little intimidating if you use it for the first time, but it actually works really well. wx has
wxListCtrl::OnGetItemText (it also has dataview since a few versions, which is in the odd place of "way more complicated than a callback, not nearly as good as Qt MV"). Qt has QAction, wx has... wxMenu::Append. wx's way of doing things definitely has advantages (for one thing, wx is far, far less code than Qt Widgets, and if the controls you are using are native, everything truly is native, though this arguably doesn't matter any more).

FWIW I probably struggled more with layouts in a single wx project in a few months than I've done in all Qt and web experience prior to that. There are just so many weird happenings which just... don't exist outside wx.
Crows would know exactly why we kill and eat things, since they're opportunistically predatory omnivores who'll kill and eat smaller animals. They'd probably be more interested in why we leave so much free food for them beside the road.

Sophie Zhang mentioned that there was a Guardian article where she publicly blows the whistle on Facebook management (and lack) of inauthentically published information. This appears to be that article: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/apr/12/facebook-...

FWIW I'm sad that this thread is full of trolling, negative comments. I for one am glad that Sophie took a stand to do right for society and the world in the capacity that she had in Facebook. A very small silver lining, is that her work is an example of abuses on social networks being fought successfully, if given resources. And perhaps her Guardian piece will provide leverage to get those resources.
Which psychedelics?

I've pushed the limits with many tryptamines (at least 300-400 discrete experiences) and 15 years later my cognitive abilities are measurably excellent.
Then we have way too many measuring sticks.

1. Medical consensus say it's bad, but it's kept legal: tobacco, alcohol, drinking bleach.

2. There's no medical consensus, but it's forbidden anyway: LSD, mushrooms, DMT...

3. Medical consensus say it's bad, and it's forbidden: cocaine, heroin, meth...

4. Medical consensus say it's good, but we ban it anyway: MDMA in the context of psychotherapy [0].

5. There's no medical consensus, but we ban some yet not others that have an identical mechanism of action: poppers

That's without getting into the fact that the federal schedule system is seemingly impermeable, and cocaine or heroin have accepted medical uses, but somehow weed doesn't, despite all the evidence it does.
