"An astronaut (from the Greek "astron" (ἄστρον), meaning "star", and "nautes" (ναύτης), meaning "sailor") is a person trained, equipped, and deployed by a human spaceflight program to serve as a commander or crew member aboard a spacecraft."

They were trained (not as well trained as NASA astronauts, but still trained well enough for such a short mission)

They were equipped with whatever equipments they needed for this flight.

They were deployed by a human spaceflight program.

So by definition, shouldn't they classify as "astronauts"?
If we had a rail system instead of an interstate road system, the same thing would be said about highways.

In fact, the cost of building & maintaining the highway system is quite astronomic.

Trying to «gain» something from mindfullness/budism is a bad one. Is adviseable that people with drug use history refrain from using drugs for an extended period of time before taking on other mind altering experiences. I believe the grove of the brain need some repairing. Disrupting natural processes like breathing is not adviseable for beginners and probably unnecesary anyway. Beware of powerfull exercises and quick fixes, people get damaged by reckless/selfish/clueless gurus very often.
Usually slow, gentle exercising over longer period of time is more benefical. For sone meditation in motion like Tai Chi works best. And finally you will not stop being an idi0t just by meditating, you are likely to turn into an idi0t with a lot of energy! Probably the biggest pitfall.
It's disclosed in their filings e.g. "Among the vendors were a director of the Company and an entity controlled by such director"

It pains me that I have to explain this to adults on HN, but: yes, this is bad. The foreign investor/customer paid dearly with time and money for the research and development. The factory runs an additional night shift and makes another batch of product. They then sell the night shift products at a reduced price undercutting the original vendor because they do not have to recoup the development costs. The vendor with the higher price cannot sell his stock of product because the demand is already satisfied from the cheaper night shift product.

OK. That wasn't what I am talking about. I am talking about 3d printer vendors entering the market, not being duplicitous about it. 3d printers are often open source, completely out in the open. So you would naturally expect clones.

So there's no duplicitous dealings going on here.

Also, SpaceX knows how to put on a show. In comparison this felt like an amateur video. (not to diminish the mission itself, just how it was filmed).

Yeah I don't think it makes much sense, at least not for a long time. Odds of a plane crashing are on the order of 1 in 10^7. On the other hand, it was a major accomplishment that the Falcon 9 was able to perform 100 successful missions in a row. Rockets have to be safer by many orders of magnitude before they move from the realm of thrill seeking to commercial travel.

Sorry, I meant 'rich people' as a neutral term, I do not attach any value to it or intend to deride someone for their wealth. I think that in general people should do as they want, as long as they don't harm others.

To rephrase: I felt that the entire flight was a bit underwhelming, and that it felt more like an amusement park ride (with a very expensive ticket price) than an actual spaceflight with astronauts, even though it was communicated that way.
I feel the same way when software developers call themselves engineers.
> It will force major banks to rethink their overdraft fees as a revenue center.

I wish that were true. For significantly more than 10 years I have worked for a major bank that does not charge fees for overdrafts that pull from a loan or savings account. I still have seen few signs of the major banks deciding to follow our lead.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste - or to tinker with haphazardly. I'm reminded of when Palm came out with "Graffiti", their stylus-stroke way of entering western characters into the thing. Folks were hospitalized with aphasia, where they couldn't figure out how to write normally any more. They'd jumped the well-work grooves they'd been in since primary school and couldn't find their way back.

As adults we are a wired mess of stimulus-response formed by uncoordinated childhood and young-adult experiences. To start pulling those wires and plugging them in elsewhere, risks losing something. Maybe something you value.

Our only hope is that, at some point, the US can reap the advantages of tech advances elsewhere and go straight to really great trains, rather than having a bunch of meh passenger rail we can't justify replacing.

Kind of like how, supposedly, 4G networks were more widespread in pockets of Africa you'd never expect before they were widespread in the US, because those parts of Africa didn't have 2G/3G infrastructure to depreciate and customers to migrate off before 4G could be deployed.

On the other hand, at least if it's in CSS, it'll be a single standard method that you can turn off via a browser plugin or whatever, rather than everyone rolling their own.
> The execution is secondary, because a lot of execution is mediocre, and you just have to be good enough.

While that's true, you still have to execute. And when you see mediocre execution, that's still someone who put in the work.

In the context of games, which are more like creative works fighting for mindshare, an idea is analogous to a business opportunity, which is to say that the idea/opportunity will likely look different once it's actually executed on, and that journey is the valuable part even if it fails.

That's not to discredit someone who is good at identifying opportunities. That's a wonderful skill. But I think the author's take which I agree with is that someone who tries to execute, even with a flawed idea, makes more progress than someone who has an idea/strategy/proposal.

Also I think it's important to point out that this blog post is in the context of (board)game design. Everyone has an idea and the vast majority are under-baked, and the process of designing it and playtesting it is how you calibrate on what other people actually like or find fun. I think that's analogous to, say, tech startups, but game ideas are even cheaper than startup ideas.

Also I checked and even this idea isn't new: https://hackaday.com/2018/01/18/solenoids-and-servos-for-sel...

My point is that he is right. Ideas are 10 a penny and most have already been thought of. (Btw check out Half Bakery for a collection.)

The thing that's difficult is actually implementing it well.
Of course, different traditions will have different meditation techniques of varying lengths. There are many, and best to follow one path where people don't experiment too much on you and themselves. That the same techniques have been practiced for a looong time (think: like a vaccine!).

As a "beginner" meditator, 20 mins a day is plenty though. As an "experienced" meditator 20 mins is enough too (you may in time meditate anytime/anywhere).

It's when people take on themselves to "do much more", mix several spiritual practices or follow cults that do extreme regimes that things might sometimes get crazy. Most people do OK, but there are people who need medication or have deep-rooted issues that maybe should not be doing meditation, at least not until those issues have been settled.

Another issue is that some deeper practices were basically developed for monks, to be learned after years of initiation and acceptance.

are the members of the crew of Blue Origin 3 not 'crew members'?
Crew members have defined roles and responsibilities, and are important to the success of a mission beyond having paid to be there. The alternative is more apt here, I think: passengers.
For sure. And I want to caution against seeing all dowsers as fraudsters. Fraud for me is in the "knows or should have known it's a lie" bucket. But I'm sure a lot of dowsers believe in what they're doing.

As one of the sciencey experts explains, it's perfectly plausible that some dowsers do a decent job because they have a subconscious knowledge of landforms and how they relate to water. So this may not be fraud so much as ignorance of how they actually work.

Given the extent to which the tech industry is coughing up "AI" solutions that are also driven by neural networks, only some of which actually work and the rest work for mysterious reasons, I think we can treat dowsers as human.
To be fair SpaceX also has had practice, go back and watch some earlier launches and they have the same amateur vibe.

It's really funny how you translated "better taxation" into literally "totalitarian genocide machine" and then typed up a thoroughly straw-manned paragraph about hypothetical questions that no one is promoting or suggesting. It's completely disingenuous that you bring up all these arbitrary lines in the sand about wealth when no one is suggesting that obviously ridiculous approach.

We can tax billionaires so that they pay their fair share for the public resources they use without it going full gulag.
I do wish that was how policy was developed -- people see a risk to their interests and then they advocate to address the root cause in a way that helps all of society.

While we're wishing for things, it would have been nice for climate change if oil companies had actually transitioned to being energy companies a few decades ago in the interest of all current and future generations.

On topic: Musk behaves like Vanderbilt and Stanford in this way--he exploits vulnerabilities in the current system prior to regulators being able to address the concerns, leading to a de facto monopoly once market entry is prohibited.
That was my second option - canvas.

WebGL is a type of HTML5 canvas context. Unfortunately, there are major drawbacks which I also outlined - it's too low level and loses platform consistency, accessibility, usability, and really every affordance of an operating system - you're starting over from scratch and loading in dependencies or writing your own implementation of some immensely challenging concepts (font rendering on its own is usually several hundred kb of code and could fill textbook upon textbook).

If you're familiar with GL UI frameworks like dear-imgui, they do all work pretty well in WebAssembly. But again, they're compromised from the start because you lose all OS consistency and accessibility. And unlike in games, where these frameworks are often employed, OS consistency isn't expected, and accessibility is sadly ignored, the experience of a cross-platform UI framework appearing in a canvas element on the web becomes jarring very quickly.

There is an alternative approach, like Google Docs employs and the sibling poster linked - combining the DOM for input elements with custom rendering. But, this is really, really complex and challenging.

Every time I develop applications for the web, I yearn for an application-focused presentation layer which provides the expected fundamentals around accessibility, OS consistency, and rendering layout while ditching the hacks-on-hypertext minefield of CSS and the DOM.
To a government, the direct profitability of an infrastructure project should be a secondary concern.

The actual concern is whether it helps the people and business of the country to thrive.

Like think of the US highways... extremely not profitable to the government, but our country would fall apart without them.

In my opinion, they are still doing incredible work. SpaceX and Blue Origin can both bring their rockets down - no government space agency can do this today (and govt space agencies had a 60 year lead)

Privatization helps because NASA cannot afford failures today, but private companies can. And since space is a new and risky frontier, failures will happen. That's why I believe that privatization is a good thing overall
Capital One was an online-only bank before online-only banks were a big thing. It started as "ING Direct" before the sale to Capital One.

I've definitely had some issues with customer service (not refunding a fee they said they were going to), but it's nice to have a "bank" with custom support
Blue Origin don't need a revenue stream. They need Jeff Bezo to light fire under their ass.

As a company that started a year before SpaceX and funded by the richest man in the world, the company should have no problem with being aggressive.

Yes, walk before you run. SpaceX did this too, but their leadership has a sense of urgency. Blue Origin don't.
I use Node-RED to do home automation with Home Assistant, and I like it. As others have mentioned, it's easier to do than YAML automations - especially because you can throw in a JS "function node" when you need to just write a few lines.

Something I wish they'd get to is looping support. It's unusual that you need a third party extension to do a for-loop. Fingers crossed this can make its way into NR proper in a future release.
That's also a big O, so it's worst-case bounded by something on that order. By saying "how often do you," you seem to be agreeing.

This behaviour has nothing to do with scroll snapping.

Scroll snapping is just "can i have a carousel without javascript", and is primarily a touch interaction. See this extremely brief demo https://codepen.io/tutsplus/pen/qpJYaK?editors=1100

I wouldn't call Square's site "scroll hijacking" - usually we use that to refer to when the actual native scroll behaviour/events are highjacked and prevented, and custom javascript scrolling happens. Instead on the Square site the DOM page is still scrolling natively, but an animation is progressed depending on the native page position. Maybe not ideal, but its much smoother and less jarring than actual scroll jacking.
Clearly an Easter egg: an example of an incorrectly- and automatically-chosen synonym.
> Yeah I was trying to get in there to develop

I do a majority of my Pinephone related development on Gitlab. It hasn't stopped adoption for my work at all. Others use Github/Sourcehut.

The nice thing is that developing for the Mobian is nearly identical as it is for Debian (I use the Modem quite extensively for my apps, so I have to use the Pinephone for testing).

> but I will admit I would be pretty useless.

Everyone starts somewhere! The Pinephone is really my first dabble into open source development, and now one of my apps are on quite a few distros. The community is incredibly welcoming and helpful.

> Thanks I will get this phone working again,

Good luck! If the Mobian channel is a dead end, you can also find me on Matrix too.

Why not? Nobody's opinion should matter or not matter based purely on who they are. It should matter or not based on their reasoning, data, and experience. Shatner being an actor says nothing about the validity of his argument either way.

You could probably get away with SQLite too. This seems to work really well for our use cases - We integrate SQLite w/ C# and do have many functional aspects involved. C#8 is great about opt-in functional paradigms.

If you pick SQLite you can also lean on their exotic-tier test coverage and the fact that you can author application defined functions for utilization from SQL (i.e. your DSL in this usage context).
>let’s not kid ourselves that home ownership is somehow cheaper. It never is (except during the times when the prices went up no matter what).

It's important to take into account the intangibles of buying vs. renting. It's not just a straight up financial calculation. Buying makes your living situation far more stable than renting. If I miss my rent for 3 months, I'll be getting a knock from the sheriff and put out on the street. If I miss my mortgage for 3 months it can take over a year to be foreclosed on. On top of that, buying puts you in a community of owners. It's a completely separate population from renters. People are far more incentivized to act civil and be considerate of their neighbors when everyone owns and lives somewhere long term. Not to mention the ability to renovate, add on, and otherwise make a house into a home. Buying is an emotional decision as much as it is financial.
This.

I blame a modern world that puts a tv-box of constant stimulus over our heads. Folks rarely have a moment to their own thoughts, and have zero experience dealing with them.

I grew up on a farm. I had many hours a day with my own thoughts. I grew up quite comfortable with long silences and stillness. No storm rages in my head when I'm alone - more like a little wind, and I can easily deal with it.

I remember getting to college and encountering people who turned the TV or radio on the instant they got home. It took me years to understand why anybody would do that.
I am more concerned about nuclear war as a result of mistaken identity since it's the same technology used to launch ICBMs.
Precisely. Landing a booster is difficult but creating or orbital class rocket is an order of magnitude more difficult. SpaceX just did the hard part first.
One take I heard about yoga that kinda applies here is "if yoga is injuring you, your understanding of it is wrong"

I think the underlying issue with all these asian-spiritualism-turned-western-nouveau-health is that western people sometimes come in wanting things to be intense, clinical and goal-oriented. But that's literally the opposite of what most of what these disciplines are all about. Asian health upkeep practices (yoga, tai chi, meditation, radio taiso, etc) are mostly about gentle but consistent practice to keep gears oiled for the long run. Most of those aren't even meant to be healing disciplines.
I don’t think the comment deserves downvoting, but I cannot agree that this characterization - dismissing those who disagree as mindless and juvenile - is mature.

Plainly the best defense against ransomware. Had two attacks that probably could not have been avoided. Some employee will at some point open that funny looking mail. Scammers know our names and mail signatures (the colorful text, not the crypt sig for mails). Maybe they get some detail wrong, like department or a contact address, but otherwise the mails looked genuine.

A sensible backup solution made us come back within 30 minutes of severe attacks. The police tried to negotiate with the attackers but sadly couldn't get them. But at least they didn't get any money.

We have a bought backup solution that is quite expensive that does snapshots every 15 minutes I believe. Worth it.
