Its a tradeoff between complexity and results.

Think of it like this, every kg added to Starship is one kg less to Orbit. And maybe like 10-30kg less to Mars.

For what you are talking about you likely need 16-32 SuperDracos, you need massive tank. A highly complex system of tubes along the vehicle and so on. You would reduce the payload to Orbit and return by a huge margin.

On earth, for a system to be reusable AT ALL, is incredibly hard. Like seriously, super hard. Their margins are already very thin. I'm not even sure what you suggest is possible at all.

And such a system would only prevent some very few cases. You already have engine redundancy. It wouldn't save you in many failure cases either. So its a gigantic increase in complexity for a slight reduction in potential failure.

The extra complexity quite apart from the performance would also lead to many new failure most that must be considered. If in a full risk analysis this would actually be safer is questionable.

If you want to increase safety adding a 4th Raptor would like by safer, as well as starting the flip earlier.

P.S: The fuel would also be highly toxic and would make operations with humans much more complex and much more expensive.

Yeah, I was going to make this point - the consumer and employee protection laws in California are things to be emulated.

I think it gets lost in the AVALANCHE of ill-considered laws California makes that are pointed to as gov overreach, and rightfully so in my somewhat libertarian opinion - but it IS possible to have the one without the other, and one could argue the mountain of bad or hasty laws is doing nobody, including proponents of the rightful place of government in protecting citizens like this, any favors.

edit:
I should clarify I don't consider the consumer protection law in question is one of those bad laws of course, I just worry the scattershot lawmaking that California sometimes indulges in makes it harder to point to the successes of that model. I would appreciate the silent downvoters to explain, but I guess HN has gotten too far away from its roots and too close to the Reddit model of 'downvote things I disagree with'
It is less efficient. That said, they aren't carrying a payload and they don't have to run it full on fuel, so it doesn't matter. More importantly, they care about testing the landing which requires them to be a certain horizontal distance from the landing site, so it's easier to do that by hovering sideways so they don't get way too much height.
So 50 additional murders in Philly, and uh 3500 covid deaths. Yeah, wonder where the cost-benefit analysis lies on that one.

Moreover, I'm not convinced the economy wouldn't have declined if we hadn't locked down - consumers changed their behavior even in places that didn't lock down. The economic decline is likely behind the increase in murders (along with school closures).

In some ways the argument against Excel is like the argument against Electron: if you're comparing it to an elegant, purpose-built and well-tested application, yes... it falls woefully short.

But is that really the right comparison? Lots of people just don't have the skills or time to build a specific applications. Without Excel, what would they do? There are some places where a 90% solution is worse than no solution at all (at least no solution is a forcing function for a "real" application), and in many ways Excel isn't the best expression of the _idea_ of an Excel-like, low-barrier-to-entry declarative programming environment with a built-in UI, but it's truly a wonderful tool. It makes a lot of automation possible for a lot of people.

That's a broad claim to make. I have seen plenty of prevailing opinions and discussion the other way; commonly referencing Tommie Smith, prior country boycotts and similar events.

In any case, I think it's reasonable for Americans to think that US companies should not sacrifice American ideals on the alter of foreign profits by cowtowing to (perceived) regressive demands of foreign countries.

Sharing the reason allows for that debate, or alternatives. Maybe the customer has some sort of demo or something, and you could offer a workaround in that case.

Hard deadlines for some sort of fix or workaround do exist. Like "Earnings Call Tommorrow, and I can't just say ' I Dunno'"
They are offering some, whereas other roles are clearly needing to adapt to some consistent in-office time.

It will be interesting to see how all this ultimately plays out. My best guess is that companies like Shopify, who are fully committing to remote work, with in-office options, are going to end up with better retention. However, it also seems plausible that places requiring in-office schedules will simply attract people wanting that and the places offering remote will attract people wanting that.

From what I see, there is a pretty clear line in the sand between folks that want an office and folks that don't. While a 3/2 hybrid schedule may be better than in the office 5 days a week, it's still quite a bit worse than being remote 5 days a week if that's your preference.

I've been working remotely for the past three years and it's crazy to think back how relatively rare of an opportunity it was when I started doing it. It's everywhere now and a ton of people across the world have gotten the opportunity to try it out. You hear a lot about how COVID accelerated a lot transformations by 3-5 years. I think it accelerated remote work by at least a decade, probably more.

Yes, however, there's no evidence that's less effective in the near term, and there's mounting evidence that spreading out the second dose is as effective - or more so. [1] So I guess it depends on what you're trying to measure.

tl;dr: is that spreading out the dosage of Moderna vaccine to 9-15 weeks actually makes it a more effective vaccine. Spreading out Pfizer, more relevant to Canada, also reduces the number of hospitalizations and deaths over the recommended schedule. [1]

Note that if you do this, rather than actually setting up HTTPS, outside of Send itself a bunch of stuff becomes impossible (you presumably don't want to do any of this stuff, but if you ever do try it just won't work) because you lack Secure Context, and gradually over time you can expect more errors and problems.

Okay, so what does explain the difference in death toll? I certainly don't think it is only policy diffferences.

If we had Canada's per capita rate, 400k fewer people would have died.
That would require a central repository of "actual facts". Even if there was one and everyone agreed on every entry, there would still be the issue that a vast majority of political speech is opinionated interpretation of a selected group of facts. Fool-proof automatic fact checking might be nice, but it wouldn't solve the problems inherent in the current state of political discourse.

The US is the only developed country without universal healthcare so it is hard to assess whether this is the critical factor. Israel and the UK has a socialized system and both are doing well. Australia and NZ also have a socialised system and they both did well by closing borders effectively.

It might be that right wing government did better as all those countries except NZ has right wing government and USA was too in the beginning half of the pandemic and they all acted fast whether it was with regard to porcurement of vaccines or securing the borders. I still remember how much Trump was criticised by the democrats and media when he wanted to close the borders for Chinese, but at least they didn't stop him for pushing the vaccines production and procurement right from the moment it was available.

Altogether it is hard to say though, there are too many other factors and too small of a sample size.
Dogecoin keeps outpacing everyone’s expectations. Nothing would surprise me at this point. The momentum is so strong.

As far as I can tell, we actually have no way of knowing that the NY variant doesn't spread more easily than other variants. There just isn't the data to disentangle whether that variant became more widespread because everyone did a worse job of stopping that particular set of cases from spreading, or if everyone was less successful because the variant in question was worse. We'll probably never have a definite answer.

There's a big gap between

> reasonable conclusion from the way the person's workplace is structured, and the way their coworkers judge their coworkers

and

> Chuckling at the idea that trans identity amounts to "wearing a dress" is not a "reasonable conclusion", it's a hurtful caricature.

The workplace they described discriminated against the dominant white male identity, and waived it for people who deviated from it in dimensions including gender, sexual preference, and race. It is reasonable to conclude that their workplace would welcome or tolerate a dress-wearer as well, being a deviation of Western male fashion norms, with no comment on its relation to trans identity specifically, or even cross-dressing, which you somehow inferred.

To be charitable, sibling comments have made this inference as well, but I disagree that this inference is reasonable. As you mentioned,

> the idea that trans identity amounts to "wearing a dress" is not a "reasonable conclusion", it's a hurtful caricature.
Correct. Operating assumptions help in planning disaster recovery operations. For instance, which are the areas that you have a very high degree of certainty will survive? These are the areas in which you want to muster your defenses so to speak.

I read that as, "we can use I-5 as a distribution backbone if we prioritize its repair because it is very unlikely to suffer too much damage." I also assume that simulations indicate it will not need much repair. Bonus points if we've already re-engineered the sections of I-5 most likely to need repair. It could save time later.

So now we can make a plan around what we're likely to have, and if we have more when the time comes it's gravy.

Basically, don't position all your recovery assets and facilities along the 101. Doesn't mean the 101 won't be there, it only means your plan has a smaller chance of falling apart if you position the facilities you'll need along I-5.
You can usually replace "AI" with "software" and not lose anything.

Well, going straight to seeing Linux output on the EFI framebuffer instead of having to develop things like m1n1 first would've been useful. Not very useful but still.

Yeah, not using the GIC is what I hate the most. If the SoC was less… custom, we could've even written our own ACPI tables (possibly useful ones depending on e.g. which particular Designware crap they used – the better DW PCIe controllers do support ECAM, etc.) and avoided having to redo all the work in every kernel anyone wanted to run…
On the other hand, here in the UK - the socialized healthcare system is making it much easier to ensure doses get to people who need them. Something like 95% of over 50s have gotten their first dose. While I may not like it, the vaccine rollout is slowly going down the age ranges (40+ and vulnerable people are eligible now), and your doctor will let you know when you can book an appointment. I think that this helps ensure that there is less inequality in vaccine access.

The AZ vaccine was also researched in the UK, with lots of production here too. That especially surprising considering very little vaccine production happened here before COVID. What is probably hurting Canada is their small population, making researching and producing their own vaccine much more difficult.
We have a person like that in the US. In fact we have about 328,000,000 people that are fairly sure they are that sort of person. (well, we can probably subtract out the population under 2 years old, that's about the age my kids started strongly expressing their views on how things worked.)
> There is a spectrum there, obviously, and I could argue for specific instance of him using "fight" as being sketchy, but really that he used the term over a dozen times is striking to me.

You called out using that term as the strongest indicator of his intent to incite yet you continue to refuse to pick out a specific example of it.

> Connecting patriotism and fighting alongside the election being stolen from them had a message that more action than usual was necessary. That was the underlying message.

None of that is inciting violence. There are millions of Americans that believe there were actions during the recent election that were fraudulent. There’s nothing violent about voicing such concerns.

It’s been done in just about every election since the dawn of Democracy. Nancy Pelosi herself is on the record, on video, rejecting the outcome of a Presidential election. And she has just as much right to voice her concerns as Trump or anyone else.

> He used a lot of euphemisms, and I think there is some evidence there that he knew the message he was sending to the crowd.

That’s totally subjective and totally conjecture. If that’s going to be the standard for banishing someone from the internet then the kangaroo court of the Facebook Oversight Board is perfectly fitting.
I’m sure you’ll see that change as J&J ramps up.

The supply chain around Pfizer is very difficult. Export beyond Canada in volume sounds like a tough proposition (it requires a dry ice cold chain). But.. two dose requirements don’t work for hesitant populations, which is where the US is now.

I would guess that US demand for Pfizer will drop and exports of Pfizer to Canada will happen as J&J is deployed more. (At least until kids can get Pfizer)
Perhaps the Taiping rebellion (Chinese civil war) would also qualify?

So what I've read, suggests that prions do not degrade in the environment very readily. A deer with prion disease can die, decompose, then the prions be absorbed into the vegetation to be re-transmitted to other deer. Naively it would seem that there could be an ongoing accumulation of prions in the environment.

This makes me think of fire policy. Although prions are resistant to temperatures of 200C or so, wildfires often reach much higher temperatures. It would seem, again naively, that a regular regime of fire (e.g. controlled burns) might curtail any such accumulation (as well as have benefits to fire-adapted and fire-dependent plant species). I'm not sure if controlled burns are ever allowed to get that hot though.
A peloton isn't an event, it's the group of cyclists in any cycling race. Since the original concept behind it is you're joining a group (class) on your exercise bike, it's a pretty appropriate name.
Protections for workers in tech are better too. Things like moonlighting and protecting your intellectual property is easier in California than most places in the states.

In most of the country, your employer can claim 100% of your intellectual output, no matter if your work was 'on your time'. If you come up with something clever on the weekend on your own computer, your employer still owns it.

(Aside, I think this is one issue that could be a motivation for unionizing tech folks.... or at least collectively bargaining.)
