No idea about the feasibility of this, but it seems like hitching a cheap rideshare to a non-ideal but heavily populated/serviced orbit on a bulk carrier like Falcon 9 or Starship and then contracting with a little ferry to help your sat get to its final orbit could help SpaceX negate one of the big advantages of the companies launching smaller rockets that launch direct to final orbit?

Kind of like remaking the old hub and spoke model, with Starship being the bulk 747, similar to the era when air travel was prohibitively expensive and demand was still too low to support direct point to point everywhere.
The models they are using are probably already public.

In what way?
I would push back on this framing. Do you consider the FDA or the FCC to be authoritarian? There's a lot of genies they put back in bottles - and while there are some places where people might feel they've infringed on general freedom (the regulation of the content on the airwaves, for example) the fact that our home electronics don't mess with our wifi is something we all take for granted.

Another good example is how you can't photocopy money. Did that stop counterfeiting... no. but it sure did tamp down a lot of casual counterfeiting - and i don't think it actually did harm people's liberty very much.

Genuinely asking. Do you then think we should drop age restrictions on tobacco and alcohol sales?
Ah I see.

Right so the 0th rank version you've presented here could be written as

-- Assume countLower exists and is [Char] -> Int

lowers : Functor f => f [Char] -> f Int
lowers xs = countLower <$> xs -- Also: lowers = fmap countLower

This `lowers` works for rank 0 across arbitrary rank collections so you can have as many nestings you'd like.

Now if you want to vary the rank at compile time, that is possible by generalizing `countLower` away from a concrete list and instead to something like `Traversable`.

The issue as you point out is if you want to vary the rank at runtime, which is easy to do in APL and other array-based programming languages, and which is quite difficult to do in a way that plays well with Haskell's type system (you could eject and instead use dynamic typing in Haskell instead, but that is probably going to look quite different from the rest of your Haskell code).

And this indeed is part of the infelicities I was talking about.

To really type this well you need dependent types, which you can kind of do in Haskell, but it rapidly becomes very messy.
"Never" is a big word. Let's extend this to its logical conclusion - imagine a world where every person had a button that would glass the planet. How long would humans last? Seconds? An authoritarian government would be acceptable in comparison to the immediate extinction that would follow.

We've already accepted as a society that some technologies are too big and dangerous for private individuals to have access to, for the sheer pragmatic reason that there are people crazy enough to do literally anything. Technology that allows a single human to kill every other human on Earth is a really good candidate for restriction. Biohacking is such technology. It's real-life nanobots.

A $9T Binge Turns Central Banks into the Market’s Biggest Whales
A couple of times in recent decades, North Dakota had an oil boom. The jobs were out in the middle of nowhere; available spaces in nearby small towns quickly filled. Somehow the people hiring managed to find hundreds of mobile homes for the workers to live in, and a location or two near the job site.

OTOH, towns that want permanent workers better wise up.
> It's non-trivial to pick up a front-end/full-stack engineering position at this point without having committed to React-specific development

I’m speaking from experience. I write PHP, jQuery and plain CSS. There’s plenty of market. Never felt React (or Angular, Ember, Backbone) where worth the trouble. Same for SASS, Typescript, WebPack. So I don’t use it. And it’s fine.

There’s of course job opportunities for a specific tech. Just don’t get those if you dislike them. There are plenty others.

Our industry is indeed much more fashion driven than it should for a field that aspires to be a hard science. But it is also so freaking huge that even niches can support a lot of people.

I'll play devils' advocate here. Why is this harmful?

Say you're a middle class gentleman, rich but humane cannibals offer you 5 million dollars if they can have a surgeon remove your arm, so they can eat it.

Losing and arm will be tough, without that $5 mill it'd be very tough, especially to keep work. Since you're rich you're not going on disability or anything, so really it's self-sustained.

The only person out anything is the person who lost the arm. How is this harmful to society?

I'm not certain it is, I'm not saying it's right either... I mean obvious it's not normal, but is it really "harmful"?

The Private Life of a Cat (2020)
Hopefully if the UK Parliament abolished BST, postgres maintainers would update how the "Europe/London" timezone works to account for this change (as well as every other library that manages timezones). I would also expect there to be a transition period to ensure everyone is brought to speed and the relevant updates are made
While this isn't much of a company relationship thing: If you're getting paid every 2 weeks, sometimes you'll get paid the first/third week of the month and sometimes the second/fourth, which can be a pain if you're trying to keep a consistent amount in a checking account while also having bill pay and auto-transfers to savings/investment accounts.

Or, tl;dr, it makes it easier to automate money without leaving a large buffer of cash in a checking account.

The Falcon 9 has had 126 missions so far and only 2 of those were failures. It's not a perfect record, but it's pretty decent. And presumably SpaceX has learned from those failures. Compare that to the Ariane 5 rockets (which will actually be launching the James Web Space Telescope) which has had 109 launches, and 5 of them ended in failure.

I'm just going to assume you're referring to Starship's various explosions. It's far too early in the Starship development cycle to draw any kind of conclusions about it's reliability.

Starship is a prototype. It's a completely new vehicle with completely new engines, and they're building it with the expectation that the early versions are going to blow up. It's like saying Falcon 9 is unreliable because their early "grasshopper" prototype (for testing landing) exploded and at times. Also probably a good idea to note that these explosions all happened during their landing attempt, so in theory any payload onboard would have already been deployed. It's just the vehicle that would be lost. Of course they're still so early in the development cycle that Starship hasn't even attempted an orbital flight yet.

I get that it's weird watching these very early prototypes blow up so spectacularly and publicly, but that's the development model SpaceX has chosen. And we're not used to watching rockets being built and tested so out in the open. Personally I think it's exciting watching the progress they're making.

If I had to guess, it's likely shared code from SpaceX's other projects like Falcon 9, Dragon, and the Starlink satellites themselves, where bit flips can be much more common.
I really hope this isn't a "MAKE IT PASS, OR ELSE" situation.

this telescope doesn't deserve any functionality setbacks in exchange for more schedule setbacks.

a telescope made late because of fixes is a fully working telescope. a prematurely launched telescope is broken for its entire service life.
More likely is that it's easier to monetize. Or both of course

It's not even correct for one bedroom where the author noted $1200/month which would be $14,400.

It's also, frankly, just plain wrong. Just because a 4 bedroom house has 4 bedrooms doesn't mean people are renting those bedrooms out at that price.

The actual average rent for a 1-bedroom in San Jose is $2,150 / month which is $25,800 / year.

It's a shame this author has so many basic mistakes in their post as otherwise it is a valid discussion.
A very interesting topic, but the article is like something written by a 5 year old.
Yeah, the oldest school of conservatives, the ones who saw industrialists as upstarts and who said, "don't chop down primeval forests to build factories do seem a little less absurd given where the biospbere is headed. Even if they mostly felt that way because industry threatened their power structure.
The feature I missed about Subversion was, if you could figure out how to treat your code like a proper tree, individual teams would check out one, maybe two directories, and only the leads and operational people ever had the whole thing.

I never entirely understood what it was in subversion's internals that prevented it from being used as a DCVS. We could figure out version numbers with branches and multiple repos. If not then, certainly now.

There's a space between subversion and Git that could be occupied with something that sheds the worst behaviors of each and makes something better.

> We argue that these appeals to “health benefits” as a way of justifying medically unnecessary child genital cutting practices may have unintended consequences. For example, it may create a “loophole” through which certain forms of female genital cutting—or female genital “mutilation” as it is defined by the World Health Organization—could potentially be legitimized.

> you mint more of them to pull the price down

No, in order to pull the price down you need to mint more of them and sell those new DAI into the market.

Doing this saddles the minter-seller with a long USD/ETH position: they have to lock up a bunch of collateral in order to mint new DAI, and if USD/ETH drops enough their collateral will be vaporized. If no sellers believe that USD/ETH is going to rise, none will be willing to take that risk.

DAI doesn't work like Tether. DAI aren't really "quasi-dollars". They're margin loans owed by other people. To bring them into existence, you need to find somebody who wants a margin loan in order to go long.
But all that spam would come into play with "generic" feeds. You don't expect spam from people, groups and organizations that you subscribe to.

From what I've read, and heard from friends in Kenya (where circumcision is a prevalent tradition and the area has a high infection rate), is that circumcision reduces the infection rate because it hardens the skin of the penis - meaning less abrasions and cuts, meaning less blood mixing/contamination.
There are some very surprising tradeoffs for being in Apple’s ecosystem. Especially if you’re used to Android.

Let’s just say this: Apple took the time to create a whole different interface for the TRRS headphone jack just so they could have buttons on the headphone cable. Then when app developers thought it was awesome to be able to use that button as a trigger while the app was in the foreground, Apple stopped them by removing their App store listing until the dev submitted a version without that feature. Same with detecting touch size (to ingeniously determine touch pressure).
The one year cliff is not that problematic to me since I would expect I am getting paid market, and the options are like a hiring bonus (which you often must return if you quit within a year). What am I missing? Is people really worried that a startup whose stock has risen will fire a productive employee?

That said, I have seen 5 year vesting (which seemed like a red flag to me), and have heard of Amazon's schedule where you mainly vest in later years. These were bigger red flags for me than a 1 year cliff.
Government isn't always the problem, but it is almost never the solution. Every problem that government "fixes" creates half a dozen new problems. Now they need a dozen more laws to fix those. Everything becomes so complicated that you can't spot where the problem was to begin with.

The problem is that government steals wealth through intimidation and violence, and then uses it for whatever purposes it sees fit.

The culture is sick because it sees theft as acceptable if they benefit from the theft. They overlook that theft is inherently immoral.

There is no person who knows how better to use wealth than the person who created or earned it.

"We" don't all bear responsibility for government. If you choose to be a Statist, that is not on me. You don't speak for me. Your State does not speak for me.

The world is made better when people create wealth, and people's living standards improve as a result. This happens despite the government pissing away much of that wealth.

And yes, personal responsibility is the moral way to live. There exists no right to other people's property or time.

> The fact that the L2 point is unstable and that thrusters are required puts a lifetime on the telescope - I think NASA plans for a minimum of 5 1/2 years and are hoping to get up to 10. That's entirely reliant on the fuel supply.

So when the fuel is exhausted the orbit decays and the unshielded telescope disintegrates on re-entry into Earth's atmosphere?
Does anyone have any resources on how you might make this yourself from scratch using machine learning? Obviously not this polished, but just a really rough-and-dodgy version to learn how it works.
Fair point.

If you can get a mortgage, I imagine it's even better.
It works in KSP because your a launching from the equator into a zero-incline orbit. In the real world, or modded ksp, the advantages of on-orbit refuel are very difficult to realize. It is basically only practical for geostationary sats. Everything else, everything inclined, would cost more fuel to get to than simply launching a new refueler for every task.
Usually they work just fine, and at home, I buy knockoffs for my hobbyist projects.

At work? Only name-brand stuff. A consistent product and process is more important than saving a couple bucks.
The idea is a bit different. Filming clones usually requires leaving the camera "still" without moving it, then you re-film the same scene and same position multiple times so you can drop the backdrop very easily using very basic cutting or masking.

This is different though. No cutting or masking, the actual A.I. itself is doing it automatically. No filming the same takes with the same camera position 3 times in a row then doing tedious editing that takes hours.

I have my doubts as to how well it would work... But assuming it did then it's a real game-changer in the editing world because it could not only save a ton of time, but actually produce new abilities, like cloning with object crossover, and while the camera is moving around erratically.
