These people should be jettisoned into the sun. This unwillingness to allow pro-consumer opinions to exist, be heard, be given power is vile vile vile. What a disgusting action of Facebook to demand such a qualified ideal person be recused.
I don't think that's true.

Many aspects of SpaceX's rockets are covered by ITAR, which puts strict regulations and controls on the exports of many aspects of SpaceX's vehicles.

I imagine exporting the rocket to a non-US based firm would be a much larger bureaucratic hurdle than getting FAA approvals.

How do you deal with merging Lightroom catalog files if they are all indexed remote? Sounds like a tricky workflow
Not sure if you're aware, partners have access to Windows source. They also get to review and give feedback on upcoming changes.

Laser cut edges are conductive, and will trigger a saw-stop.

Nice info, P and GP!
I built a RC buggy car with lipo batteries; it's amazing how quickly it goes, and how well we've suspension etc works. Sadly most of the time was spent on the build, too hard to get to the local track with family and such, but still a great experience. It's just so quiet compared to the nitro ones too.

Goes to show if you want to get somewhere, first you have to start. The other top trending thread on making a bit of progress every day comes to mind, it's amazing how far we can get over a long period of constantly making small improvements.
> Unless they mean it'll instantly show a loading screen, I'll bet it doesn't.

You absolutely can. I am not sure what tech Microsoft is using, but a similar experience can be had with VMware Horizon VDI product with something called Instant Clone, which is essentially forking an already booted up Desktop VM. On each esxi hypervisor host, you would have one of these parent/seed VMs that is booted up and ready in a frozen state, and when a new desktop VM is needed, it's created from the seed/parent using copy-on-write memory/disk and runtime state less than a second.
I always think SUN was too early. I find chromeos to be the successor to their intent with Google actually even occupying their buildings today.
Germany could also force all food establishments to add a little bit of poison to the dishes. Would that be an argument against government regulating food preparation standards?

At that time it was. Lots of business process involved creating documents to be printed, sometimes manually signed, posted and microfilmed eventually.
While a lot of internal stuff at corporations ran in computers, interactions between business entities, consumers and governments largely depended on dead-tree flows. Word processing was huge during the 80s and 90s because of that.

No, the two are not comparable. This is a standard "both sides argument", but it is false. There is data also to back this up.

Here's an entire book on the subject: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0190923636/

pp 352:

> The right-wing media ecosystem in particular circulates an overwhelming amount of domestic disinformation and propaganda, and its practices create the greatest vulnerabilities to both foreign propaganda and nihilistic commercial exploitation by clickbait factories.

pp 354:

> The right wing of the American media ecosystem has been a breeding ground for conspiracy theory and disinformation, aand a significant point of vulnerability in our capacity, as a country and a democracy, to resist disinformation and propaganda.

These are a couple of random quotes I bookmarked long ago, but the authors show and back up with data that disinformation and propaganda online is overwhelmingly right-wing.
The point is “don’t be fucking around with options if you’re a US Congressman trading options in a company regulated by your committee”. I favor the broader “Don’t be fucking around with derivatives or single names if you’re a US Congressperson”

It's not even luck. IIRC, most such machines are programmed not to pay out at all until they've taken in more revenue than the cost of a prize. So 99% of the time, your chances are nil, as opposed to infinitesimally nil.

It won't necessarily help the buildup of anxiety about the call itself, but I've found that I'm much more relaxed when using wireless earbuds on a phone call than when holding the phone to my ear. I'm not sure why, may be something to do with being able to freely move my hands.

A small untowered airport seems like exactly the type of place where someone could fly into a nearby tower.
I've been following Starship development closely, and I would be shocked if SpaceX was not planning to use this tower for the first orbital launch. Even as of the last few weeks, their aspirational goal was to launch this month, and the planned second tower would take months to build from this point - no evidence of progress on a second launch mount or tower foundation.
The problem is it's not clear about what the design system is for. After some digging I figured out it's for React. It shouldn't take that much time and effort just to figure out what it's even for. Why not just say 'open-source design system for React'? Why is it all so vague? Plus on the top of the page it says 'Open source design system for your next travel project.' What does that mean? I assumed it had something to do with traveling.
Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I guess I'd feel a bit more comfortable installing a CA with those constraints, though I'd wonder how many administrators actually know to do it—seems like a feature that's not currently well known and something that can be easily overlooked.

There would also be risks to users if installing these custom CAs became common practice. It might be safe to do it for certificates with suitable name constraints, but until certificate installation UIs add something special for this ("this certificate has authority over X, Y, Z"), users aren't going to distinguish between safe/unsafe (constrained/unconstrained) CAs.
And the whole point of cornering data at rest is that your client can "no longer access it". It's not about the authorities being able to decrypt that data. It's about hurting your business by making it difficult to continue operations.
This is really cool. I like that the author clearly sees a lot of things from Apple's side, particularly with regard to ClarisWorks, and its market positioning vs Office and MS Works. It makes sense that a ClarisWorks user would be less likely to upgrade to MS Office anyway, vs an MS Works user, since you're now buying from a different vendor. But he candidly says that MS Works isn't as good as ClarisWorks anyway.

I don't remember how things went down in the browser wars. The author of the email seems to think Apple might not be willing to ship a non-OS X-native [Netscape] Navigator with new machines. I do remember IE being popular enough on OS 9 or X, but I can't remember which, and I certainly don't remember if Navigator or IE shipped with OS X, but it had to have SOMETHING.
Or half an instance of VS Code.
Fuzzing Grub, part 2: Going Faster
This is exactly what VMware Horizon VDI does to create desktop VMs very quickly, called Instant Clone (aka VM Fork), and has been around for several years now.

With that, you don't even need to do deduplication after the fact, it comes for free. When a new VM is forked, it's memory and disk are copy-on-write from the source/parent VM.

Gambling should be a compulsory subject in primary school.

By the time they reach high school:

- Every kid should know how to play blackjack and poker.

- Every kid must know how to compute the odds of winning.

- Every kid should know how to verify the odds presented to them.

- Every kid should know at least three ways of cheating and being cheated

This might make the earth population a bit more resistant to panic and overreaction in times of uncertainty.
Hopefully, fewer people will drink chlorine, stockpile toilet paper, participate in ponzi schemes, go to a real war against a fictitious enemy.

Would you mind sharing why these photographers can't use Dropbox/Photoshelter/etc?

Photoshelter looks to have a $50/month unlimited cloud storage plan[0], which seems pretty cheap if they're going to really take advantage of the "unlimited" aspect. For a professional photographer $50/month to not have to worry about carrying around this stuff seems like a deal (and less if they don't have that much to store).

Are they just that lazy at plugging loopholes for congressman? I have a hard time believing this works for normal insider trading cases.
and the conversion kit (which “allows an operator of a Key Master game to convert the game” to a skill-based one)

I wonder what the "conversion kit" contains, since any one with a software background probably knows that it may take nothing more than patching out a single "don't let player win yet" conditional jump in the software/firmware. Indeed, the code skill-based game would be simpler from that perspective, since it does not have to behave randomly or track the payouts. Of course, setting the number of attempts to 1 (assuming there's no lower limit) could have the same effect.
The luck mechanic could be made obvious.

For example the game where the lights go around a circle and you try to land in front of you for the most tickets could instead have you land the light somewhere and then dice are rolled to determine your actual landing spot.

I'm sure a real game designer could think of something more fun where your skill at the game increases your chances but ultimately luck at the RNG determines your prize.

True but 78% of South Korean 20 year old men are circumcised, a relatively new phenomenon in the country but something that has clearly taken hold and appears to be a new normal. 90% of the Philippine's are circumcised so its not a strictly non Asian tradition.
I also wanted to thank you for making such an awesome piece of software.
In the freakonomics book Dan Ariely makes the same point. Here with real state agents when they are selling your house they tend to encourage you to accept the first rational offer because for them is better to move the house inventory tan the extra % in the commission.

However when they are selling their own houses... the houses tendon yo stay 3 weeks more on average, because there they have a better incentive to wait for a better offer.
In this case even the manual for the machine would be enough to show that it's not purely skill-based.

Also, not enough people know reverse-engineering, much less how software works in general.

>And it was still grainy!

Because the grain is not from video compression but because the camera sensor wasn't receiving enough light so it boosted the ISO to compensate which causes grain. Also the fact that phones have to live encode video which is very non optimal while movies are shot uncompressed and then a powerful CPU can spend as long as it needs for a perfect compression.
This project appears to be on the critical path to making humanity a multi planetary species. That should be balanced against whatever impact the environmental review finds. Not that it should give SpaceX a blank check. But to the extent that the environment is fragile and needs protection, it's even more important to not have all of our eggs in it.

An Event-Driven Mindset
> I think most people aren’t comfortable building a strung together shell environment

So please don't take my comment here as a critique on Warp. I was responding to the sentiment "I like my terminal as it is and I don't feel the pain outlined in the problem statement."

As in I too feel this way. I recognize there are a lot of people who aren't me, and feel differently about things than I do.

I imagine the desire for configurability and customization is similar to the argument between Vim/Emacs and IDEs.

Some people love the customization, plugins, and building a tailored solution. Some people are going to love the out of the box feature set of something like Warp.

The core I was trying to respond to really, was "The pain I feel is performance," which I also strongly relate to, and I wanted to call attention to another excellent Rust based terminal, Alacritty, which really has excellent performance for those of us who like cobbling together our terminal environments.

Ask HN: I have some non-trivial zeta/gamma findings. What next?
The story of this claim is quite absurd to tell in full so here's the short version. Back in 2019 I, by chance, found some significant undocumented behavior with the zeta function when I randomly tested what would happen if I used the Young modulus constants, Ramanujan congruencies, and logistic chaos equations in respect to the zeta and gamma functions in a variety of relationships. What I discovered at first resembled a kernel, but I'm no mathematician, so let's go with that theory naively. Since then I've played with the math during covid to kill time for the next two years. I never expected much of anything to come to light because I honestly couldn't interpret the significance of many of my results, however, they were curious enough to keep me going.

At least not until last month, when I stumbled upon the "missing" piece to the puzzle so to speak. As things are now, the model is what appears to be legitimate map of the primes (but I haven't done any complex analysis yet) I've tested up to a point to be convinced to take things to the next level. The model works, to my knowledge of time complexity, at constant time or linear time, which only makes sense if you understand that I was looking for "simple" constants and equations to explain everything initially, meaning there are no expansions to calculate nor summations/products, at least that is they aren't necessary to solve anything in regard to get the next nth set of primes. The goal all along was simply to find an algebraic map of the primes, not to prove or disprove the hypothesis.

Who can I talk to about all of this without sounding like a dummy? I'm a programmer (but curious novice mathematician) at heart. Covid was a once and a lifetime opportunity to learn much more than I expected I would ever end up doing behind the desk programming. I intentionally didn't want to know what professional mathematicians knew about the zeta and gamma functions because no progress has been made doing that, at least not ground breaking that is. What I've seen the zeta/gamma functions do is nothing less than revelational for me on a personal and almost "spiritual" level. I'm not in it for money or fame, just that glory I've witnessed, it actually wasn't even my idea to do any of this exploration--but that's another story.

Edit: btw I'm serious, sometimes it's hard to tell if I am or not, so there's no need to ask.
I believe he's saying the opposite -- it will open back up after the civil war.

> parler was the alternative to twitter and fb, and see how it was cut down for no real reason

Parler is an alternative to twitter and fb, it exists today, it was not "cut down"
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/parler/id1402727988.

The furor over Parler was manufactured outrage, Parler was suspended from the app stores because they didn't do what the app stores asked, a very common occurrence, we could all be so lucky as to have that much publicity surrounding the suspension of our apps from the notoriously capricious app stores.

> also, it was interesting how all the biggies - Amazon, Google, Apple, Visa all joined hands to squelch Parler an opponent of their enemy (for ad dollars) Twitter...

It's not that interesting, it was an obvious reaction to Parler openly courting extremism after there had just been an attack on the U.S. capitol. Parler made themselves toxic and nobody wanted to do business with them because they were extremely unpopular. Anyway, I suspect we probably won't agree on the details of Parler, but there's no disputing that Parler's temporary shutdown was under extremely unusual circumstances.
