Yeah but think about the difference in cost the space shuttle alone costed almost 200 billion dollars over its 40 flights its still 5 billion dollars a flight. Now compare this to these boosted they don't include a mission module but they cost about 62 million in there first launch and following launches are only about 15 million dollars. Note to mention the pace of launches are much much faster than the space shuttle. These may not be orbital boosters but they don't have to be these costs demonstrate the mistake with space shuttle is trying to do to much. Now I cited the total cost of the space shuttle and but to say just because these boosters haven't reached 39 flights so they are a long way off is silly they did this in 2 years the space shuttles lifetime was like 40 yrs.

A surprising amount of work goes into coming up with the nearly-nonsensical names for drugs, and the process often starts with a list of thousands(!) of candidate names which are winnowed down. For example, generic name needs to follow certain rules: the suffix indicates the class of drug (see the giant list here[0]), and there are other constraints about what must (and must not) go in the prefix. Brand names have some regulatory restrictions, but are also optimized for marketing: Viagra, for example, was supposedly named by combining 'vigorous' and 'Niagara [Falls]', which is...connotative of its effects. Something like this could be helpful for noodling around in that space.

On the flip side, Silicon Valley isn't the only expensive place and 132k was well below my full time salary in New York as a senior eng before I jumped into my own work. Actually I don't think I know any full time engineers right now in my personal network making lower than 150k and they're all very talented people who wouldn't be able to hop on something like this for various reasons related to that being too low.

My point is without high pay a whole class of very good engineers is unavailable to you.

Inspired by my travel style, for a long time foreign friends have asked me for suggestions and recommendations when planning their journeys in Italy, my home country. Motivated by these conversations, I decided to take the plunge and share these special places and experiences on Be MyJourney developing a UX to allow travellers to both get inspired and plan one-of-a-kind personalised journeys. The destination and service selections are critical steps of the journey planning, Be MyJourney will help travellers to choose the right places and services so they can experience Italy as Italians do and in a mindful way. This is my very first MVP, so I am looking forward to get your feedback on the UX or any other comments you might have on the website! Thanks so much, Andrea
That makes sense for a normal size organization but they literally only have three employees. And the majority of the fund raised was used for his salary.

If anything, it's not fair at all for the other two who did the substantial work and only earn 2k per month.

(To be fair they have changed the distribution this year.)
Not quite sure what you're trying to say: that applies in similar ways to basically every academic speciality. And what the parent quoted: it's just an observation based on theory, similar historical trends, and his own practice. It might be _wrong_, but it's not metaphysics or random association. It's not even really an academic point at all, it's a technical point: specific art styles are commonly used to communicate certain messages to the viewer. The utilitatarian reasons for "why this style" are all correct, but they provide only half an explanation
Ironically enough, I recall reading that if the overflow hadn't triggered a hardware exception and instead was silently ignored, the first stage would have survived; the code in question had just been carried over from Ariane 4 and was no longer important for the operation of the booster..
The necessary "glue" work that often doesn't get tracked but eats a lot of time, energy, and cognitive capacity is very often overlooked. I'm not saying that is or isn't what happened here.

I've worked with a lot of teams where no sort of solid leadership existed. Filling that gap is often difficult to justify because there's a tremendous amount of thought involved and it's a thankless task. Sure you can take the existing structure and direction and just plug away but ultimately, most efforts that do this fail. You need to look ahead and think about future adaptability if you want success. People often act like software development is as straightforward as data entry. You should have X entries per day. If you didn't add X entries then you must be slacking. Development requires not only technical prowess which is difficult to maintain in-and-of-itself but creativity, vision, and strategy. If you ignore the rest your project will fail or at least become an artifact of times past at some point.

That section explicitly addresses that question and says you should rewrite it in a way that avoids the warning, since "usually unhelpful" means "sometimes critical". It's certainly an uncompromising view but that's what you get when failure is disastrous.

How much does your healthcare cost you? Retirement? Self-employment taxes? Housing?
"No, employers are supposed to have to pay the market rate."

Supposed to? Says who? I say, employers are supposed to have to pay enough for a person to support themselves without government assistance. If we allow businesses to pay below a living wage, then the government is simply subsidizing their labor costs.
In every modern recipe for cooking almost any type of meat, there is an internal temperature listed at which the meat can officially be considered "safely" done. Restaurants, etc., have to follow such guidelines per government food safety standards.
That seems unlikely, since it's a nice city in a temperate climate. Absent any discussion of the job market, I'd like living there.

Now, given the cost of housing in the Bay Area, having to pay ridiculously high salaries for people to afford living there...

Which, yes, is a bit circular. The tech boom (plus dumb zoning choices, and also California's property tax laws) has resulted in that vast increase in housing costs, as too many people try to cram into the available housing stock. Note news stories about rent plummeting in SF as people went remote for COVID.

So why is there no traditional vaccine? I trust Sinovac. It's inactive virus vaccine, and they ship raw materials[1] to other countries and say "build it yourself" at manufacturers that have no connection to the Chinese government.

Bill Gates on the other hand says these vaccines are too complex and that safety and security issues[2] make it impossible for anyone else to produce these vaccines.

The media keep saying "even mRNA vaccines that are new don't enter the nucleus or alter DNA." Guess which could do that? The viral vector vaccines that have custom DNA run in the nucleus, which then produces the mRNA. This MedCram video[3] explains it better than me. Everything around the messaging for vaccines in mainstream media is so misleading if you look at the science. I don't know how someone couldn't be at least a little suspicious.

I have longcovid btw, I'm not getting the shot. People repeat BS to me like the vaccines will cure longcovid. They offer no proof whatsoever, no plausible method of action, and go off the media narrative how it "could help some people." I'm on longcovid forums, I trust the anecdotal experiences there than anything in the media.

Going back to Amazon, this brings up another issue: Amazon’s resellers sometimes claim (or try to imply) that gray market imports are domestic versions of the products being sold. I sometimes see gray market cameras being presented as domestic; I only know they’re gray market because of the price, and because the seller is a known gray market reseller.
Nope; only your first point is valid. Both of the other fail at the example of, well, pretty much every other developed nation.

>This blog post for me is evidence that we can make crowdfunded open source work, as long as the people receiving the money know how to effectively use it.

Isn't this a restatement of the problem? My (uninformed) impression is that there are structural issues that make it hard to effectively run crowdfunded open-source projects. As you say, the secret sauce appears to be a question of managing the organization.

Do you have any thoughts on how to reproducibly run such a projects?

Engine lost compression in two cylinders on my 5.7 GL Volvo Penta. ~ 300 HP, leaky exhaust riser. Took the opportunity to look into an electric option that can bring a 4,700 lb boat on plane, comparable power that is in production and available.

- Evoy hurricane inboard, 600 kW: NOK 1.497.000

- Battery pack: medium range, 252 kWh: NOK 1.476.000

In US dollars, that's $360,000 and I'd have to ship it from Norway. Closest second option was about half that price using BMW i3 batteries, at half power. Meanwhile, a new marine engine was $10,000 by comparison, or to repair exhaust and rebuild to last another 17 years, $5,000.

Boating is a luxury and I can't excuse it in environmental terms, same as I can't excuse electing not to walk 2 hours to my local starbucks for a consistent grande pike I enjoy in favor of brewing my own. But marine electric is currently nowhere near being a practical solution, and you cannot hydrofoil in all boating conditions, especially in choppy waters, or where there are seasonal floating obstructions.

Boats do have notoriously small efficiencies (1-4 mpg) in both displacement and planing modes, but consider that for an automobile to have its 25 mpg average we pour approximately 124,000 gallons of crude oil per mile every 5-10 years for a two lane asphalt road, a coarse byproduct of refined petroleum.

My whole point here is not to equivocate in any terms, but that it's easy to overlook externalized costs. Moving an object anywhere is a difficult problem.
Yes, a multi-day team (weekday) offsite every now and then is fine (and probably beneficial). But, in general, weekend getaways and things like that are bad practices.

Normally I travel a lot so nights and at least parts of weekends away are pretty routine for me. But companies should attempt to minimize it to the degree possible.

Depends on your usage and how long you want the batteries to last, generally anywhere from ~5k USD for a day's worth of backup power (using average-ish USA residential consumption, adjust accordingly) to 75k USD for a week (assuming you're using quality LiFePO4 cells with a good BMS).

I’m continually shocked at how little people appreciate just how lucky we were with this recent pandemic.
The Seychelles has been using a Sinopharm vaccine, not the Sinovac one. They're similar vaccines, but there could be slight differences. The WHO just approved a Sinopharm vaccine (called "BIBP"), and has stated,[1]

> A large multi-country Phase 3 trial has shown that 2 doses, administered at an interval of 21 days, have an efficacy of 79% against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection 14 or more days after the second dose.

There are two different Sinopharm vaccines, but I think that BIBP is the one being used in the Seychelles. And yes, as you note, the Phase III studies were conducted outside of China. In order to conduct a Phase III study, there has to be community transmission of the virus, meaning that Phase III trials are impossible in China right now. You would get the same result for the vaccine and placebo arms of the trial: no infections.

I suspect it's a sequence number that advances monotonically on at hardware controlled tick rate which is used as a simple high-watermark for establishing recency and probably (subsequently) ordering, and this thing is probably a 32bit integer or some slice of a 64bit one and after being online for ~51 days it nears the threshold of rolling over, which would then cause the receiver to never show new data because it thinks its very, very old data.

Higher-end can mean a lot of things, especially when talking consumer grade. I generally translate consumer grade high-end as being more aesthetically pleasing vs operationally. My expertise are more aligned with industrial grade equipment where size is typically not the limit. I've deployed a 16ft x 9ft high-res LED display for a customer in the past.

The trouble with looking at a "no ads" rating is that smart TVs can always put more ads in later: https://twitter.com/JobPlas/status/1235537095755739136

You could say "I'm not installing software updates" and be safe from ads as long as you don't need any bugfixes, but then you're also missing out on security updates. If you keep it off the internet maybe you're ok, but your TV might start connecting to a neighbor's wifi to give you more advertising.

It's worth noting a difference here...

With Tesla this car had supercharger access turned off and he could not get replacement parts to fix the car.

By going ICE powered he can get the parts and is able to easily refuel it.

The nice thing about the Thermapen is that it reads so fast that it's easy to explore the temperature gradients in the food. It's a learning process, right? In my own cooking, I'm correlating the measurements with technique and results, and when I finally cook something well I can reliably repeat it.

(Full disclosure. I have the surface temperature version of the Thermapen and a 4-channel recording thermometer, and I've profiled the oven, the griddle, etc. :-) We now focus on improving other aspects of cooking, confident that temperature is handled.)
> While I was busy learning the undergraduate physics curriculum, Voyager 1 was treading through the interstellar medium and revealing in stark detail how interstellar plasma and the solar wind collide and interact across a boundary layer called the heliopause, where they engage in a massive pressure-balancing act that shields our heliosphere from the great beyond.

I thought Voyager 1 was out in interstellar space for awhile now, beyond the heliopause, heliosphere, etc. ?

I'll also note,

> Almost 11 years ago, Voyager 1 crossed an unprecedented boundary: it became the first human-made object to enter interstellar space. I was just a high-school student at the time, oblivious to the milestone ...

It is a flawed comparison in the other way as well. The shuttles required vast amounts of refurbishment after each flight. While the thermal protection system was improved with the later shuttles, they required a lot of inspection and replacement of individual tiles, which was an enormous cost. It was also standard for the main engines (SSMEs) to be pulled out and swapped with ones that have been fully inspected. Even the solid rocket boosters (SRBs) needed to be towed back to port, disassembled, and completely refurbished for each flight.

The F9 first stage, on the other hand, typically goes through a relatively light amount of inspection and repair after each flight.
Can we first deal with the locked down hardware they are allowed to sell.
And you can't be reimbursed for it in any way.
Just because all their current flights so far have burdened them with enough payload to not achieve orbit doesn't mean they aren't perfectly capable of orbital insertion and manuevering. Don't forget they do have to do a deceleration burn once they release their upper stage; because without it they would continue on a trajectory that could easily carry it 2/3s around the world before hitting atmosphere again.

That being said you are kinda right in that they really can't be compared, considering the shuttle is more a payload with a really awkward engine arrangement and can't actually reach orbit without ditching multiple SRMs and a fuel tank larger than it is, but can actually do useful stuff once up there.
Impressive achievement and more power to them.
But does anyone else find the use of the word "showstopper" peculiar here. In management-speak, showstopper usually means - "There are issues. But we will live with them today. Hopefully fix them tomorrow before anyone notices"

No, he is correct. Alot of embedded software uses a more complex form of that exact technique that he is shown in the code.

You technically can have a dedicated timer interrupt for every task but there are usually alot more tasks than HW timers, so instead they use a dedicated HW timer for time-keeping and use that as reference for all other tasks.

Cars and certain power plants dump toxic chemicals into the air and occasionally the water supply. Society doesn't give anyone the option to opt out of putting these known toxins in their bodies because we can't. Society either has electricity & cars, thus poisons everyone, or it doesn't. The best we can do is work to mitigate the negative impacts.

We are at the the point where society needs people to receive a vaccine, or it will stop functioning. How much are you willing to personally sacrifice so that someone near you has the option to avoid getting a couple of shots that a billion other people have already received?

Factories can't run at full capacity until people are vaccinated. Our food supplies, specifically meat, are at risk until people are vaccinated. We are going to keep this society of scarcity until ~90% of people are willing to get two shots.
