I think part of why it is going to fit in its budget is because SpaceX is willing to fund some of the development costs out of its own pockets, to an extent that other bidders were not.

SpaceX is designing a multi-purpose architecture in which the lunar lander is just a variant of a craft intended for other commercial purposes (Starlink launches, commercial launch customers, space tourism, etc), so it can share development costs between the lunar lander and its own commercial investment – the other bidders were proposing bespoke vehicles with little potential for other commercial uses.

SpaceX is also a young company with a high-risk strategy of betting the company on massive growth in the space industry–which is another reason why it is more willing to invest its own money (or its private investors money) than trying to get the taxpayers to carry 100% of development costs. Its competitors are mostly older companies with a far more conservative, financially risk-adverse strategy. (Blue Origin is in a kind of odd position, of being not much older than SpaceX, yet seemingly having a culture more in common with those old conservative firms.)
How slow is it? Genuinely asking because I wonder if it is much larger / more complicated than sites I've built so far.

Most sites I've created are _usable_ in about ~500ms, though they take quite a bit longer to fully load. There do appear to be tons of scripts and tracking crap loaded after initial load, but through (what appears to be) above-the-fold handling and a pretty quick (200ms) time to first byte they appear fast-ish.

Do you add a lot of custom scripts?

I agree! Having a _minimal_ barrier to communication acts as a filter, in a similar way that requiring registration acts as a quality filter for a forum. Folks must gather interest in the meeting, rather than interrupt and demand focus; this, at minimum, gives them some time to reconsider the concepts that they want to raise with their coworkers.
You’re right that it’s much worse for feral cats, but pets are also a problem. Here’s a good study that tracked house cats specifically
https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/12/world/pet-cats-disrupt-wildli...

> On average, the study found that house cats killed anywhere between 14.2 to 38.9 prey per 100 acres, per year. That averages out to about 3.5 prey each month per cat. The researchers believe this large number is due to the fact that neighborhoods can include a high density of cats -- more so than wild predators living in the wild.
I love old web design too. Sometimes I go look at 2007 WorldOfWarcraft.com on Archive.org to enjoy old design.

You can actually do validation for completely anonymous accounts. The most common version is DDOS protection where even read only websites can still benefit.

An anonymous review website could similarly rate limit how quickly reviews change, so someone spamming 1,000 reviews accomplishes little.
Keep in mind the alternative is that you are ironing out the kinks of a homegrown login system.

The big thing in my mind is the ability to migrate away from a SaaS.
Not sure if internal services necessaruly require valid certificates. Most of them don't even require encryption. Both encryption, decryption, signing, and validating signatures will only cost cpu-cycles and increase total power consumption.

Looking at what Epic is doing, I would encrypt customer data and everything that involves money. IMO only communication between data centers, with external payment providers, and with users must be encrypted and require valid certificates.
I was hoping you'd tie this in with some occult/pseudoscience stuff. Some people would gobble that up.

Not sure why this is down-voted. At the very least the people who invoke the CoC are among the most pushy and dominant ones in projects, even when they manage to cloak the dominance so as not to be perceived to be aggressive.

U.S. people are better at that game, since it is expected and rewarded in work life. This is also why they push for CoCs, which have nothing to do with manners or niceness, but are just another power tool.

I have never seen a genuinely nice person push for a CoC. Not once.
Also it can't dance.
If your automation has good logging and you have good alerting on logs, isn't it much better to see the automated process fail as a notification it needs to be done manually rather than relying on it being remembered?

(Ideally, you'd remember and never set the alert off, but still great to have that extra layer.
Okay, but in this case, the favourite framework has a GUI. Sure, you can't use WYSIWYG HTML editors with it, but it has its own sort-of WYSIWYG editor.

I only see one claim backed by experiment:
“The ferret-experiment shows that the measuring of—and then storage of—a maximally-simple experiential-fact (the duration of the interval between two simple events) occurs within a single huge cell (neuron) in the cerebellum. It also shows that subsequent single-spike input to this cell triggers the reading-out of this memory into a simple behavior: an appropriately-timed blink.”

The huge cell is a Purkinje cell. I don’t remember much about neuroscience, so I hope someone else can elaborate.

Later on the interview suggests that every single neuron could store megabytes of information, but this seems more like conjecture to me.
Frankly I'm almost gobbling it up myself as I type it.

Unfortunately the financial systems of governments are getting destroyed and we are powerless to stop it.

Cryptocurrencies are not destroying government run financial systems. They are just an alternative.

Bitcoin's 7 tps is a base-layer limitation. Layer 2 technologies like Lightning aim to address this issue. Lightning is functioning well and growing rapidly.

I don't think it's fair to say most Bitcoin holders are unknown entities. The AML/KYC requirements for converting crypto into spendable fiat are strong. The criminal use of Bitcoin is a small compared to it's legitimate use as a store-of-value.

> There is just so much land, we can't possibly deplete all of it.

Given that we are currently using 40% of the world's land area for agriculture, and that we are using ~0.0003% of the world's water, I don't think this is a fair criticism of my post. Only a fool would think that former isn't something to keep an eye on.

> I love this comment :) Messing a bit with drops in the ocean is how we got here in the first place.

No, we got here in the first place by messing with carbon and water and nutrient cycles that take tens of millions and hundreds of thousands of years to cycle through.

The atmospheric water cycle, on the other hand, operates on a scale of weeks. Seawater gets separated into brine and fresh water, fresh water irrigates crops, fresh water evaporates into clouds, clouds precipitate over the ocean. All of humanity's historic water consumption is quite literally a drop in the ocean. [1]

The volume of the oceans is 1.3 * 10^18 m^3. Humanity's annual consumption of fresh water is 4 * 10^12 m^3. Annual worldwide precipitation is ~5 * 10^14 m^3.

> Did you see how much air we have? Yeah burning dirty stuff pollutes it, but then the wind blows and it's clean again.

[1] Meanwhile, all of humanity's carbon emissions dwarf the ability of natural carbon sinks to absorb - because in hundreds of years, we have released carbon that took tens of millions of years to accumulate. The atmospheric water cycle operates on an entirely different scale. [2]

[2] The orders of magnitude between the unsustainability of <carbon use>, <land use>, <freshwater use>, and <seawater use> are each ~two orders of magnitude removed from eachother.
The reason is that NASA doesn't even have the budget to afford a single winner, and SpaceX agreed to update its payment schedule to make the contract work.
Not really following or agreeing with most of your arguments here but on the subject of Checked/UnChecked exception I agree. Java would have been better off with simply Checked exceptions and errors and no RuntimeExceptions. The current lovefest for unchecked exceptions in Java is very unfortunate. New features like lambdas don't work well with checked exceptions and there seems to be little urgency in rectifying those shortcomings either. Instead everyone is just switching things to use unchecked exceptions. For people running stuff in web containers I suppose it hardly matters, a single request fails, no big deal but for other types of programs having checked exceptions is invaluable.

I don't think they can afford not to pay attention to the ecosystem regardless of what their concerns are.

>I’d like to see how well they would perform on Target/Best Buy shelves

I don't understand that comparison at all. Do you know what percent of the Target floorspace is Target owned brands? Or Ikea?

Imagine being a store that sells its own product, AND wants to augment their own product with some third party products. Like a sweatshirt company that also throws sunglasses on a rack. They arent really "making" either of these things. In one case they are throwing some branding over a product and having having it manufactured by contract. The other they buy generic wholesale. Because they want to sell both branded and unbranded goods they shouldnt exist? That would shut down nearly every retail business in the country overnight.

Where has the idea of a neutral marketplace ever been realized in brick and mortar America?
Thanks. Good thread. Sounds like FloC is definitely more anonymous than third party cookies that are already in use today. There might are some hypothetical situations with FLoC where some information might be able to be inferred given sufficient data, but this is not trivial/direct like it is today.
Well if you have 100K users you can still break through it in a day.
There's been some good writing on the general failure of "Hypertext books" (e.g. the first couple of paragraphs here [0]). I personally think this stems from some of the reasons that underlie some of those that you outline - books published on the web simultaneously try to be skeuomorphic in retaining the physical book metaphor (organized linearly, mostly static and plain text, etc), while still losing some of the real-world effects of the physical medium (being able to intuitively understand progress, markup, etc). The way that we publish and read text actually hasn't changed much, even though the target medium has of course changed dramatically, and as a result you end up with arguably the worst of both worlds. E-readers try to side step the problem by extending the book metaphor even further, but text on the web doesn't have that privilege.

I'm working on a product, Literal [1], that aims to solve some of your specific problems, specifically providing for a way to annotate and add notes to web content and enabling some degree of source management. My ambition is to move on to solve some of the other problems you raise as well. If you have an Android device and are interested in trying it out, I'd love to connect!

> What does it mean to have read a book? To read every single word and symbol? To understand the key ideas and points?

To understand what the author thought at the time, what he was trying to say, what he had said really, how he came to his ideas, ... One cannot predict what he'll find in a book before book will be finished. You cannot know what you do not know. The only way is to read it through.

Sometimes I read books twice in a row. From the title to the last page. With all the "thanks", with the contents section, even leafing through a section of literature. Because you never know what you might find.

When I need just key ideas from a book I could find them in internet, because someone have them written in her blog. It would take, probably, 10 minutes to read, and why to bother myself with the book?
> You don't need make from __future__ import annotations as default. You don't need to make async/await keyword.

It seems like SMS-based auth, with the "gimmick" that I trust this website instead of your website.

So already I won't use it because I don't want to authenticate via SMS. It also raises the immediate question of what happens when I change my phone number?

But why should I trust this website more than your website? Unless your website is fully zero-trust it is probably better to trust you to throw away my phone number than handing my phone number to this company and other data to your company.
Well yes "Sturgeon's law - ninety percent of everything is crap.". Online reviews are useless.

I get to know about things like series from friends or sites. But I don't have any expectations and quickly judge if it is crap or not, well with "it is a crap" as default and expect to be positively surprised.
It doesn't seem outlandish to me that the neuron would contain information about itself from the time it was formed/programed/activated// about what it is, how and when it should fire, etc. given the complexity of the neural networks, it would be more strange than not that the neuron wouldn't have some form of metadata? (Mostly thinking about the relationship between minicolumns and the neuron and the neural network at large)

Gateway will be almost completely useless for this. Gateway is in a very odd orbit, a near rectilinear halo orbit. that NRHO spends most of its time a massive distance from the moon. Most of the time the Earth is closer to the moon than the gateway is.

You can make a good argument for having a station in low lunar orbit, but NRHO is really silly. It was only chosen because it's all the Senate boondoggle SLS could reach.

Edit: NRHO is only close to the moon once every 7 days, versus a low lunar orbit which orbits the moon in 2 hours.
Note that the martingale, a common betting strategy, does exactly the opposite of the Kelly criterion. If you have a small edge and bet with the martingale against a very wealthy house, you have a fairly large chance of going bankrupt!

The whole point of the discussed paper and of their patent applications is that normal white paint is not good enough to cool something exposed to solar light.

The white-painted object will heat less than when painted in another color, but it will heat anyway.

The white paints described in the paper and in the patent applications, which use either barium sulfate or calcium carbonate instead of the normal titanium white pigment, actually cool the painted object, even in strong solar light.
Exactly. Google churns out awesome innovation, but hardly any of that makes any money. Proving the point that money making is not what measures research success.

It's not much different from a notification telling you the activity is due. The difference is mostly a matter of what kind of notifications your organization ignores, and well, I've seen both cases.

Anyway, the best is to shorten the certificates validity. The way Letsencrypt recommends is perfect, run it often and require several failures before anything breaks.
You could probably more easily do this with just a flat surface that you can rotate. Smaller the squares the better uniform distribution you can get but if you don't have those strict requirements then why go super small (e-ink)?

It would require a sea change in thinking, or get people comfortable with the idea of not belonging to nations.

As you point out Nationalism has been a pretty recent development. It has mostly been enforced by indoctrination in the education systems and culture. While it has had many many issues, we have seen it reduce the number of conflicts and wars by a lot, and thus it appears to be a reasonable solution.

Whatever solution aims to replace it would have to not only overcome all of these barriers, but provide better results as well.

This very much depends on the ecosystem they had in their specific embedded environment.
