The difference is, that was a state-operated flight to the ISS which sold surplus seats. Equally, the shuttle could have carried a tourist on some missions.

This flight is purely for paying customers, organized and conducted by a private company. If there were enough paying customers, SpaceX probably would be happy to have such a flight every month. With this mission, space travel has become something you can commercially book, though at a very steep price - that might come down with the Starship.
Any reference for the variance on them? I doubt it's too big but would prefer to just see what this is based on.
I think “too clever” often equates to “too short.” There is real intellectual pleasure in figuring out how to express an algorithm in as few lines as possible. I personally love doing this. And, usually, shorter code is better code. But I have seen many cases where people take this too far. People reduce their code so much that it becomes incomprehensible. (No doubt I have been guilty of this.) So to your question of what is “too clever”
I would say that I would prefer 10 lines of readable code to 1 line of unreadable code.

There you go.

The hard work from brilliant engineers of any giant tech company to make all of this actually work and become a reality is always overlooked and the spotlight is focused on the individual who gives out unrealistic deadlines for the engineers to meet.

If they meet the deadline, no one cares and it's business as usual. If they miss it; angry meetings, delays, reshuffles and layoffs happen.
As far as I can assess this, I believe it is safer to do this instead of copying to the clipboard. The clipboard might be read by a malicious process while autotype with passmeni will only pipe the password to xdotool and that will generate keystrokes. it's only important to have the correct field selected before autotyping or you might end up googling your password :)
One big problem here is that Node (and Javascript)'s standard libraries do / did not have a lot of these utilities yet. It's the same with e.g. Java, so Apache Commons is one of the most common libraries to find in a Java application.

Go seems to have done a better job with a lot of utilities found in its standard library. But, it also has a mindset that it's better to just copy code than to add a dependency. Another factor there was of course that dependency management was a bit painful and fragmented until a few releases ago, unlike NodeJS which had NPM and its ecosystem not long after it came out.

I’m not clear on your interpretation. Aggregate demand/supply and such models you find in Econ 101 are all about demonstrating the effect of things changing, as you just described. In a supply shock for example, convergence to equilibrium is the change.
the variation may be because the pill isn't uniformly distributed so one half pill doesn't necessarily mean half dose of melatonin, which is why I was wondering if he crushed them. Check out the other responses, there seem to be liquid alternatives which are easier to dose.

You are vastly exaggerating the risks of attempting to self medicate with something as safe as melatonin while underappreciating the potential benefits.
Shared borrows and unique borrows also behave very differently in Rust. '&mut' for unique borrows is a bit of a misnomer, because passing some objects via a shared '&' reference might also mutate state 'indirectly' via internal mutability.
The game changer here is SpaceX's Starship. If you can lift 100T to orbit in one shot, that suffices to deploy around 6 MW worth of the current solar panels we use for the ISS, which clock in at around 120KW/2T. Solar panel efficiency has improved greatly since they were designed and built, so even accounting for the overhead of assembly, refueling, the transmission component etc, 10MW+ per launch seems quite feasible, particularly if Musk gets costs down to the mooted $20/kg or so.

I do this with warnings, rather than build failures (for the reproducibility issues mentioned). It's especially useful if we need to work around some immediate problem, which will hopefully be fixed in later versions. I don't like depending on external state, so rather than e.g. checking if a github issue is closed, I prefer to either test that the broken functionality is still broken, or else check the version number of the relevant dependency.

Warnings are nice since we can choose how to handle them. Usually it's one of the following cases:

- A warning appears to tell us that some workaround is no longer needed, after we just bumped 'dependency-foo' to a newer version. We can delete that workaround as part of our version bump, reducing our codebase's complexity. (Deleting the workaround has a risk of causing unexpected problems, but so does the update of dependency-foo; in fact, the out-of-date workaround itself is a risk for the update, so deleting it is usually a good idea)

- A warning appears but we're rushing to hit a tight deadline. Things seem to work, so we can take a look later. (This is fine, as long as we actually do the maintenance later ;) )

- A warning appears to tell us that a dependency with known problems has been updated, so our workarounds might not be needed anymore. We try disabling the workaround, but the problem still exists in the new version; we update the check with the new version number, so the warning disappears for now but will re-appear next time that dependency changes.

- A warning appears, but we can ignore it since we're building an old version of our application (e.g. to investigate a regression).
Oh, interesting! All the extensions I ever tried were just there. But those were just uBlock Origin and NoScript.

I'm still kinda surprised that there are people that actually question that premise. Yes; our civilization is going to collapse and it's going to collapse quite soon-ish, in the next 30 to 50 years.

I think people are a) hard-wired to expect the tomorrow to be the same as the today and b) socially trained to just keep our heads down and not stir the pot, even in face of calamity.

Because of a) and b) we're still - as a society - acting as if everything was fine and so we continue to ignore the real and present danger of a total systemic collapse.

Hi, podman-apple-silicon developer here! I want to share some FAQs about this project. :)

Q: Does this run amd64 docker images or aarch64 docker images?

A: aarch64 images currently, but I'm going to patch podman to make it possible to run both amd64 image and aarch64 image. All I have to do for this is to make QEMU call and Linux image configurable, so it won't be very hard. However, if you are running amd64 images, you will have to bear the performance overhead due to CPU emulation.

Q: Is this toy or are you actually going to maintain this?

A: I'm DevOps engineer and I made podman-apple-silicon to actually use this in my day job.

Q: Are you going to merge this to the upstream?

A: I'll keep trying, but it won't be easy unless QEMU merges Alex Graf's Hypervisor.framework patch.

I may forgot to check HackerNews, so please feel free to ask me anything about podman-apple-silicon at https://twitter.com/simnalamburt
Let me explain both my threat model and my use-case.

My threat model is not state level actors or law enforcement. My threat model is simply individuals working at providers I use that get curious and go hunting for my traffic. So, for instance, someone that works at my ISP or for my cellular provider or (github/twilio/twitter).

I don't want these private actors to see my name or my phone number. However, VOIP numbers are typically blocked by providers for purposes of authentication and security because they need you to "burn" an actual SIM card number just to incur costs on you. This is their blunt response to a rather difficult spam/scam problem that would just explode if no costs were involved.

...

My use-case is that I don't want to carry around three phones everywhere I go and eSIMs don't work for these functions (again, their numbers are often discriminated against). I also don't want a single SIM card to correlate across multiple providers - that is why I have three (one personal SIM (not in my name) and two "mule" SIMs).

...

"It's still in your proximity even if it's not in your name so anyone able to obtain your IPs from the services you use would also be able to get the location of your mule."

No, they are rarely in my proximity. In fact, at this moment they are 12000 miles away from me. I keep them at my office and might move them to a datacenter ... but only if I can convert them from a phone form factor to a rpi-with-cellular-hat form factor ... or maybe ssh into the phone ?

Well, remember - their interactions with these 2FA Mules are SMS only - there is no IP/network connection made here. So the providers, at least, don't have an IP address to look up. Also, in case it is not obvious, I fully control my entire mail and dns infrastructure - as in, I own the machines and rent the racks.

I can certainly agree with the diagnosis! Putting things naively, do you think the primary call to action should be "change the law" or "change the politicians"?

Wasting resources and human talent is not a problem in itself. It's suboptimal, that's it. You can interpret it simply as taming the whirlwind so that it doesn't disintegrate the structure and law, putting us back to pre-industrial times.

While that aspect of paralysis is mild, the paralysis in response to the environmental changes, to a next pandemic, to virtually any possible physical danger (whether it's an asteroid or an AGI...) is the problem to solve now. Our system needs to be much much quicker when handling dangers on a global scale.

I mean, it would be so embarrassing as a civilization to fall over some trivial bump.

For reference, according to wikipedia [1] the US federal limit on microwave oven emissions (outside of the enclosure, ie, what you would experience if you smushed your face against the glass while watching your oatmeal cook) is 50 W/m^2, which is "far below the exposure level currently considered to be harmful to human health".

I don't like this particular writeup, the use of 'baseload' makes me think this is someone who doesn't understand energy markets trying to use it as an excuse for funding rockets.

But I do wonder if there might be better applications if you think outside the box.

Can standard PV installations be the receiver? Could this act as a complement to ground based arrays by using them at night or during winter by supplementing natural light? How does the math look for wavelengths that PV can capture?

The ability to inject extra power into the grid as required might make a small number of these cost effective for the whole planet, rather than as a bulk energy source.

Is there any way of extracting CO2 from the atmosphere or breaking down methane faster that could be done from low earth orbit with cheap enough energy?

Could these supplement the energy requirements of planes, boats or trains by beaming energy at moving targets? (Feels like the receiver would need to be too large for this to work well).

Is there any use for heating clouds? Can this cause rain to control weather? As well as the standard weather control thing, that could also help with terrestrial solar production.
Of course it's rigged.

That's not what "Smart voting" is about. The SV works by recommending the candidates that a) are not the ones actively pushed by the Kremlin b) have a shot at winning or credibly pretending they did. These could be some batshit crazy Stalinists, mobsters or whatever - the point is that they aren't the guys that the suits in Kremlin have already secretly anointed.

In short, this will hurt Kremlin's credibility and put an organizational tax on all its future efforts. With the pandemic, an economy in deep crisis and Putin's term ending in 2024 he'd need a lot of political capital and SV hits him where it hurts.

Here's a bit longer explanation. The point is that in autocracies elections are not rigged by altering an Excel column. In Russia we have empirical statistical evidence to this: the presence of poll watchers has a very clear effect on the electoral outcomes, the rigging elasticity is capped by the anti-Putin sentiment etc. This is a consequence of how the elections are organized: the local authorities are handed the required numbers and told to deliver, as a test of their loyalty, capability and popularity. They have limited number of ways for this: they can mobilize their base, force their dependents (state employees, the military etc) to vote or press local polling committees to alter the results. If they overplay their hand, they will face local unrest (this actually happens a lot) and the Kremlin will jettison them without a second thought - so this is a balancing act. The efficiency of all their tools is capped by the popularity of Kremlin and the overtly pro-Kremlin forces, and it is at all-times low and still going down. So to get things done they need to depress the turnout - and this creates an opening for organized opposition. If openly pro-Kremlin candidates are hurt en mass then the president's admin would have to renegotiate with both the winners and the losers, effectively losing a lot of organizational cohesion, and that's on top on very public humiliation. With Putin's popularity near its all-time low and going down and 2 years before a very uncertain end to his current term, that's a lot of damage - although likely far from enough to topple the guy. But we take what we can get and this may be a rather large take.

It seems to be really common to sling mud at the JavaScript/NPM ecosystem from developers who work in other domains.

One of the big constraints we have in front end development is that every added feature adds to the bundle size of code we have to send down the wire to the end user.

When I worked in mobile app development third party libraries tended to be very large with many many features. Only a tiny fraction of that library ends up matching your use case. However when you build you end up bundling up the whole thing into your app.

JavaScript has more of a culture of many many small hyper focused packages. The logical conclusion being single function packages like left pad.

This has two benefits. One - you have less dead code in your final build. Two - if one of your dependencies is already using leftpad you essentially get to use it "for free".

If everyone did what you are suggesting you would find multiple instances of leftpad. One version you wrote. One version your dependency wrote. One version your dependency's dependency wrote etc.

Nothing. There are even off the shelf solutions available (like Artifactory). But it's not part of standard tooling and many web developers don't really know what they're doing when it comes to this stuff. I do a lot of interviewing and I'm amazed by how many developers not only don't seem to care much about dependencies but don't even understand that it's a problem at all.

In another industry this would be used an example failure for training new engineers. But people seem to have an aversion to formal training and prefer on-the-job training. But that means you can easily end up with an engineer who simply "got lucky" for 5 years by not following any kind of good practice. Do you really want him to learn these lessons with your data/time/money?

You do not have to understand all aspects of privacy to realize that governments may have sufficient resources to track your identity and to put enough pressure on businesses to provide information they need.

At the same time, Tor is not the only, the required and the sufficient way to ensure privacy. There are different circumstances requiring different approaches. In many cases Tor will be redundant, in some cases it may be impossible to use, will offer insufficient protection or will actually put the person in an immediate danger, so giving this kind of advice is at least equally harmful as not having full disclosure on logs.

While that currently appears to be true, it may still turn out to be useful to have PV in a distant desert and connected by a global grid.

While batteries+overproduction is cost effective for overnight and even over-winter, we are still in the scaling up process for battery manufacture, and if that turns out to have a limit for whatever reason, solving the nighttime/winter problem can also be done with intercontinental HVDC[0]. And if batteries can do nighttime but not winter, those connections only need to be north-south not antipodal.

I dont see how that follows - you stated it but did not explain the mechanism by which it happens.

Population density would flow from the land value as it does now, albeit more efficiently since inefficiently used land would not just mean minimized profits but large losses.
