> The ESA analysis was perfectly correct, for the launch rates they were projecting.

Can you prove that they were 'perfectly correct'.

In my opinion historically ESA cost estimations have been utterly terrible. And those estimations were based on technology and cost available to ESA.

In fact literally all the leaders of SpaceX, not just Musk, basically said this analysis is wrong.

Even at 12 launches per year, SpaceX would have wanted to to re-usability.

My experience with DDG has been the opposite of yours. The results some of the times are just annoying. Mostly because I want it to be good enough to replace Google with it. I click on a second page from results and it turns out to be some dead unattended page.

I gave up trying to be too optimistic about DDG and use Google with no javascript and no cookies saved on the domain in my browser.

My problem with search is a user one. Not an ethical one. When I search for something I want the best results. I don't care if some cute furry animal had to be sacrificed in the production of this utility.

Maybe a fraction of the money, but you still pay for that cost elsewhere, mainly in terms of convenience. Of course with something so integrated like Peloton, you pay in lack of extensibility.
I agree with your last statement, but I think you are mixing cause and effect. Crypto is exploding because our system is already corroded. Starting with the creation of the Fed, and tracing through endless money printing and complex financial instruments which let well-connected companies and politicians create paper wealth out of nothing, we've decoupled money from value.

Savings pay no interest, manual labor doesn't scale, but rent seeking and financial games get many people riches in no time.

What are the incentives in this kind of a system, and where are the safe harbors for storing value? And if you can't in value creation, your safest bet may be to gamble.
This seems like a decent point for accounting but not really for law. Certifying a lawyer is not just about a finite set of things they have to know, it's about fundamentals and the ability to ingest facts and form an argument. Similar to your Haskell point, there are parts of the law that not all lawyers need to know, but are expected to be able to figure out as needed and the certification aims to check for that ability.

(Also, in both cases, the government hires members of the profession to define the standards.)

I'm convinced we could have a bar exam for software engineering, but I'm not at all convinced that we should. It would make my life easier personally, but it would keep a bunch of people who followed less traditional paths out of the industry and I think that would be bad.
It does not handle multiple writers well even in serialized mode with WAL turned on, most systems will throw "database locked" errors. It's up to the developer to coordinate between threads to prevent concurrent writes from getting blocked.

True, but it's the difference between making a single product that's identical and consistent, versus a made-to-order item. Inevitably when making a single high volume product, engineering decisions are made which reduce the envelope of theoretical potential capability compared made-to-order.

Right now I can go to the store and grab a console.

I was not able to speak to my father, let alone staying in the same room were he was, for about 26 years (~18yr old till recently ~44yr).

The background for this was my choice of leaving an ultra orthodox jewish community and going on my own.

I recently tried that (after 3 years of hesitation) and the magic happened. It affected my structure of feelings in several ways indeed, but in the context of this one, I would say that, at least for me, it was not like "I forgive you", "you owe me, but I let go". Not at all, in my case, it simply earased the "load", the hard feelings, completely.

Beyond the magic psychadelic affects, the trip is an emotional journey that one takes, a journey that you come back with compassion, understanding and rock solid outlook over the world.

SpaceX tackled started re-usability before Starlink and they had figured it out before Starlink launches even started.

Even without Starlink SpaceX would have done re-usability. The claim that they are linked is simply not correct.

SpaceX was totally convinced of re-usability and said it was a huge benefit to them before Starlink. All the leaders of SpaceX said this public-ally, Elon, Shotwell, Mueller and Königsman.

Multiple analysts and cost estimations have also indicated that their savings are quite large.

Yet I guess some people rather believe everybody in SpaceX is simply laying and all these analysts are wrong because they rather believe the competitors of SpaceX.

I partially agree with your comment, the math is fuzzy, and I'd say that saving 5 minutes per day is absolutely worthless, I don't care about that time, it's a rounding error. There's a cliff when doing this kind of math.

But I prefer to invert this thought experiment - my time isn't worth $x because I intend to use that time for something I can invoice, it's the amount you'd _have_ to pay for my time in order to incentivize me not to spend it walking around the park, watching a movie or whatever but rather do some marketable work.

So yes, I kind of know the value of my time, I'm willing to pay $x not to be bothered with some things, e.g. a washing machine. I don't care about spending +10 minutes when buying some item.

If you are going to do stimulus, the way we are doing it now is better. Even better still would be to drop money from helicopters.

There's an argument to be made that we have done too much over the past ~10 years and are risking significant inflation, but that's a separate argument and it's hard to say what else we could have done that would have been better. Inflationary blowoff is usually less painful than deflationary depression, but neither is good. Policy is often an exercise in choosing the least awful option.

I love SQLite but it's really a pain to do concurrent writes from multiple long-lived threads. Even in WAL mode, having multiple writers leads to tons of "database locked" errors and applications fall over. The writes don't even have to be complicated, single-row atomic updates with no table locking, and SQLite is not able to serialize them and handle them gracefully without triggering errors, that's up to the application.

The extra work of having to manually implement inter-thread coordination to prevent hitting the DB at the same time is a lot of work that never gets mentioned. When people talk about SQLite being able to handle tens of thousands of writes per second, there's a big asterisk, that's only if the application takes care of not making them write at the same time.
That seems like a weird generalisation since there's many more people buying laptops than stock and there's only a few specific groups that overlap. Do you have some real data here, or just subjective feeling?

It's your job to make it not to leak. You have to write Modern C++ wrappers around C libs.

It could be argued that they are - both indirectly (by electing the representatives that do make the decisions) and directly (by lack of [legal!] activism for their cause).

Why would people want deflation? Sure your dollars will be worth more but you’ll be out of work and the economy will be in shambles. People seem to hate the fed and its ability to print dollars until a liquidity crisis comes around. I will admit this fed is highly questionable for a few years now as it seems its primary motivation is boosting stock prices. If you’ve followed Powell from the beginning it’s hard to come up with another motivation he’s operating under. I think he won’t hint at a hike and then will leave his position before a hike is imminent as he doesn’t want to be blamed for a crash. It’s very concerning that the fed has basically become an extension of the White House and seemingly politically motivated.

I suspect readers here are more likely to be big Apple fans than big Peloton fans. The people I've met who own Pelotons love them SOOO much.

I believe they'd buy a Peloton fitness tracker / smartwatch. I believe it's the brand they value most even over Apple. People who value fitness (and their Pelotons) don't overlap highly with the people who value whatever it is Apple is good at (hardware? Idk, it's not ux for sure)
What he's saying is Peloton's market share and brand awareness is minuscule compared to Apple's. It's not about fanaticism. A minuscule market inhibits manufacturing savings at scale. They may be better off working with already-established players such as Apple and Fitbit. Creating their own fitness tracking market is going to be a tough slog.
