Zooming into building on the moon vs. building in orbit, one big difference is that with some bootstrapping, on the moon a number of materials can be sourced locally. Some things will still need to be shipped in, but eliminating many of the most cumbersome materials (water, aluminum, iron, and titanium among others) will cut the number of supply missions down considerably.

In contrast, everything in orbit needs to be launched from Earth, and shipping up raw resources doesn't make sense because you don't really have the space for processing and manufacturing facilities.

That said, this assumes a more robust and steadily growing presence. If all you want is a tiny antarctic style outpost a lot of that doesn't matter.

Hear, hear, fine sirs!
Right. It's not just that they are random symbols. They are also inherently obscure symbols.

But just bad as or maybe worse are the variable names which are random, short, and completely non-descriptive. If you compare it to source-code, it's like the worst code ever written.

back then i was very pro ksmbd. and frankly a bit bent out of shape at how much disdain this kernel feature garnered.

i run a bunch od openwrt routers for myself & family, & this would greatly ease setting up the nas they have on them. it'd be nice to have in singleuser/recovery modes if there's problems on computers. it's a great capability to have. better than trying to do nfs, to me! far more interoperable. and so nice to not need all of samba.

yeah: this is a pretty embarrassing whoopsie. i cant escape that fact. im sure we'll find some other big problem somedayz but hopefully a little a better. anyone want to make predictions on how rocky this is going to be? how many stumbles will the next year have? the next 5 years? will we see active exploit attacks popularly? will we see unauthorized users get access? hiw dangerous do you think ksmbd will be?
It is so frustrating seeing someone work so cleverly to create a new syntax but restricting themselves to ASCII; I know the reasons why of course.

The semantic meaning of the 32 ASCII non-whitespace punctuation characters are so tragically overloaded between languages (with subtle, major, or even contradicting meanings).

The difference in meanings of ASCII characters usually varies within a language or requires “digraphs” like := or “trigraphs” like <=> and I laugh at our ancestors* using 6-bit* trigraphs (then I feel shamed that we have only progressed to 7 bit trigraphs).

* poetic facts + punctuation.

PPS: Any recommendations for a reliable swype keyboard for iPad that also accesses common Unicode characters such as dagger? I find Gboard on Android to be far superior to the Apple virtual keyboard.
Actually, if you bothered to look into this for more than two seconds, which you obviously didn't, you'd discover that Tim Cook has been receiving far less TOTAL compensation than all his peers, as well, for a long time now.

And that's without taking his performance into account, which is, of course, obviously the best performance by any CEO in the world.

So I'm pedantic and an asshole? Fuck that. Two can play at that game: you're a lazy jerk who paints sloppily with a broad brush.

> 82% of eligible Swedes have had one shot, and 70% are fully vaccinated

You should compare eligible to eligible, not 82% of eligible Swedes to 65% of all Israelis.

In Israel, "eligible" includes being over 12 years old (the vaccines aren't approved for younger children yet), and according to NPR, as of a month ago "78% of eligible Israelis over 12 years old are vaccinated."

The reason we don't have a meritocracy society is because failure is being rewarded.

Cut the welfare, stop punishing success with higher taxes and you'll see just how much better people can be.
My biggest concern regards the balance between privacy and monitoring is that children nowadays (and even adults) are highly enabled to commit social bullying. Nothing is really disciplining them properly, causing recurring “bowling for Columbine” events we see almost bi-monthly.

It doesn’t help that foreign states are probably working to purposely inhibit or even disable American society as a community function. (See news about Russian state companies and Facebook manipulation from more recent news)

Privacy is important, but public safety has a higher priority.

The biggest risk is abuse of the data, not the basic mission of these monitoring services
It’s interesting. Her run the U.K. vaccine take up amongst older demographics is nearly 100%, and the left/right split has major age differences. The right and old are massively pro vaccines because their man in government (Johnson) slapped a flag on it and said it was great.

If Corbyn had won in 2019 (from a higher youth turnout and lower elder turnout), there’s no way the press or the elder demographics would be so accepting, and the country would be polarised with covid as a pivot.
Oh cool, let's all go through another round of everyone thinking they're Socrates for pretending reality doesn't exist.
I was pro-UBI until last year. The labor shortage we're in now is what changed my position on it.

How is this remotely true? The stranger, after you stop paying them for the service, might spread lies about you, treat your child badly, show your child things you wouldn’t want (guns, drugs, movies, etc). The faceless corporation directly profits off the information it gains, but you can be sure the access control and security measures taken by them mean it’ll never be used to oust something embarrassing about you to your community. Only a dozen or so engineers at Google have direct database access and all of that access is logged and audited.

Nevermind "CSAM" and "right leaning" politics -- I can't even seem to find a place that will host the anti-obesity group that I used to enjoy reading on reddit. (It was removed by Ellen Pao when they cleaned up "hate groups".)
To be more clear, those who don't die first.
I think the phrase "how literate are you?" has meaning, though.

I'm a native English speaker, and fully literate when reading an English text. However, if that text is about macro-economics and written at the PhD level, I'm going to struggle with it, even if I know what all the words mean in isolation. But if it's about software engineering and written at a college level, I'll have no trouble.

Also, in these contexts, "literate" is used more to mean "has read and understood," not "could read and understand." Being financially literate doesn't mean "if I read an article about why carrying a high balance on a high interest rate credit card is a bad idea, I would walk away understanding those concepts," it means "I know why carrying a high balance on a high interest rate credit card is a bad idea, and I don't do that."
Yeah, but, is anybody actually using it for that?

Or is it just used for criminality, in practice?
Freenet development is NOT dead! :)

I have been contributing for ~ 12 years and now have acquired long-term funding (independent of Freenet's own funding!) to continue my contributions in a more intense fashion.

The core network which serves static HTML sites + audio/video is stable and usable. It has a bunch of reliable long-term contributors working on it.

Hence development on my personal side is focused on polishing existing dynamic applications which are built on top of Freenet, and implementing some new ones.

Basic implementations of notably forums, social networking, blogging and mail exist already, the goal is to make them easy to use (integrate them into the main UI instead of being standalone), add much more features, improve performance and security.

Here's a list of these and dozens of other apps built on Freenet: https://github.com/freenet/wiki/wiki/Projects

Developing dynamic stuff is taking so long because it is a complex endeavor:

On the regular Internet, censorship happens by "look up who owns the IP, go to their address, remove the computer."

Since this is not possible on Freenet as everyone is anonymous, censorship will happen by denial of service: For example forum systems would be spammed to death to get rid of unwanted content.

Thus the architecture of censorship-resistant systems has to be reinvented from scratch, you can't just take a regular forum system and stick Freenet on top of it.

It has to be decentralized to be resistant against DoS - there must not be Tor-alike central servers ("hidden sites" / .onion sites). Instead messages are stored across the whole network and replicated automatically if they are downloaded more often and thus need more bandwidth (the added redundance also makes them more censorship-resistant).

And spam filtering need to be a first-class application, I have worked for years only on that.

So the different architecture is the primary pitfall which many projects which decided "Freenet is too old, we're gonna build this from scratch with nice Javascript etc." fell into IMHO:
First it's "we'll develop a regular app, we can bolt Tor onto it later", then they realize that the threat-model is so different that this is just not possible and the projects never become anonymous/censorship-resistant.

So privacy needs to be built in from the start.

Luckily, Freenet did that right (even though it was the first anti-censorship + privacy network!), and I don't mind that it's taking decades to develop because of the extended threat model:

That's still better than being one of wheel-reinventing post-Freenet projects which then abandon the privacy idea in the end anyway, or postpone it forever.
I don't think either group is a monolith. As one data point, I am anti UBI for a completely different reason.
Because people don't care about the actual videos, it's the social aspect drives these sites. You could upload a video of paint drying and get an active comment thread going on some sites.

It used to be that Alice owned Bob, she purchased him fairly at auction. His duty was to clean all of the bathrooms in the house. Now, if Bob is released he will get a similar job for $2000 per month and someone like Alice's has to pay that $2000.

Surely this isn't fair for Alice?
> I admit that Rust can get a little verbose

Heh. As a self-taught developer with a dumb ape brain, if anything I wish it was more consistently verbose. I've read through the Rust book and tutorials multiple times, and I've still not been able to wrap my brain around how lifetimes work. Personally I think the incomprehensible <a'> syntax has a lot to do with that. I'd love to see a kind of pseudocode that compiles to rust simply for the purpose of making it easier to learn the real language.

Maybe you're thinking "wait, lifetimes are easy, you just..." but I think the reality is probably that most people who want to learn programming on their own, don't have a job in the field, and have never had a compsci class are going to have trouble wrapping their heads around the concepts. I can write good Python code. I can write safe C code (because it's easy to understand explicit allocation and freeing of memory), but I've never been able to make lifetimes work in my head. The complexity of rustc's error messages doesn't help much either, last time I tried it.

That is because it was, in fact, a hate group, not an "anti-obesity" group.
ECHR contains the freedom of speech as a human right and so do most EU countries in their own constitutions. "Countless people have been successfully prosecuted for what would be covered under the 1st amendment" (and the ECHR) in the US too. The constitution only has value as long as it's enforced.
The per-bug write-ups seem really useful. Have you used them for internal training or just for your own reference?

If you're an unskilled worker, you probably didn't go there to begin with and so long as you're net ahead when going to Food City it seems like a net positive.

I don't know if you've ever worked with people in low socioeconomic strata, but I've been a camp counselor with some kids who's socioeconomics were such that eating off the dollar menu at McDonalds on their birthday was a big deal. I don't think Chipotle being more expansive is a material concern so long as actual purchasing power goes up.

I tend to think the minimum wage should be regarded as a moral concern - if you can't make enough to live decently then the line between effective indentured servitude and freedom is eroded, and this is dangerous in a society premised on the general welfare being such that each citizen has enough leisure time to be educated and vote.
That's a bromide though, political narrative is serial and synchronous, and distractions are designed to run the clock and cost time, which normalizes and consolidates all the evils that states have exploited in this.
Although I am not deaf I don’t see why this is considered “ruining” it. These accommodations are required by law.
Gotta ask how old are you?

I do remember a Playboy when it came out in 1971. The Willy Rey issue (girl on the stock certificate). Nice looking.

Not only were Playboys pretty rare, but they were a different kettle of fish than any modern adult images/video.

Are times better or worse? I couldn't tell you. Lots of differences. Many women never have children. Divorce is common. People aren't raised on farms with all the attendant physical realities of life. Slavery was common in most societies. People got married at young ages. Sex has been secretive or not depending on the era.

Probably the worst thing about porn is a scarring of the mind, sex as non-participatory act, exotica as normal, staring at screens, addictive behavior, the internet as a net negative.
Ask HN: Why was it flagged – Is Covid19 mass vaccination an orchestrated effort?
How does this question violate the policy of HN ?
It is legitimately valid debate/ concern. Whoever flagged it should study 1st Amendment of the US constitution: Freedom of Speech.

Don't flag it because you belong to the group of people that have been vaccinated! It's your choice but don't make it political.

Here's the original question:
What baffles me is how much both media and governments are pushing Covid19 vaccination effort. And how most people are taking all that information without questioning and letting "unknown" formula, that was orchestrated by pharmaceuticals, be injected into their bodies.
Given that both my parents were medics (dad was a surgeon), I just don't buy it.

There are some conspiracy theories floating around online, but even if we disregard a theory that the entire thing may orchestrated, it is common sense to be cautious, given the vaccine is very new and using unconventional mRNA sequencing as opposed to traditional, long-tested vaccines.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one (among my colleagues, friends, and even family members) that is questioning this.
It's pretty easy to find old video clips of both Biden and Harris talking very skeptically about how fast a vaccine could be rolled out, its efficacy, and safety before they won the election. Contrast with the administration's policy today.
How do you know for sure that everything you have ordered isn't counterfeit? The counterfeits have gotten extremely good. Many times you don't discover until a long time later and other times you may just think the poor operation of the device is expected and you are now thinking this brand is junk.

Sure if it is just some plastic widget maybe its not so bad but at the end of the day the money is going not to the innovator but to some third party who had no business inserting themselves into this transaction.

Just the idea that what I receive is not what I expected to order is enough to doubt whatever arrives at my door.
I wonder about Universal Childcare, and it's not that it's not needed.

I wonder who's going to provide it.

Being male, I don't know if I would even venture into the area. I couldn't imagine being interrogated by parents, and the whole vetting process. And yes--it might make more sence for a woman to open up a child care facility? The list of government regulation must get onerious too?

Where are we going to find all these babysitters?

Second--the money will come on the form of a federal tax credit. Why do I feel that money will end up going to other things a young family needs?

At this point, I'd rather see a Basic Income that goes to all low income Americans. They could use the money for anything.

Geothermal: I asked a friend who's a retired petroleum geologist about this just recently. She said it's a real thing and there's a lot of money pouring into it, but it's not viable everywhere. The deeper you go, the more expensive the equipment has to be.

Her son lives near Madison, WI, and he actually looked seriously into installing it for his house. It sounds cool, to get all your energy, 24x7x365, but the reality was that it was just not cost-effective right now. Maybe soon.

Article is paywalled so I'm not sure it's thesis but I personally have been doing some approximation of "Lie Flat" for a while now. For the most part participating in capitalist-consumerist society is negative for everyone, so I've decided to "first, do no harm" and for the most part I have that on lock. I think that "Lie Flat" or some version thereof is one of the only reasonable approaches the current situation.

I'm not interested in the standard "I make a penny and my boss makes a dime" and I think a lot of other people aren't either. I'm not comfortable with exploitation. I think (or hope, at least) some people are realizing that "making it" for the most part means becoming part of the exploiter class and they're not comfortable with it.
horrible, especially since reducing thrust creates the same tendency as pitching the nose down... so just do what every pilot is trained to do reduce throttle into the flare and use nose up inputs to fine tune the landing

EDIT: there are times you want to nose down into a landing and thats typically in short field landings, but you are probably never doing that in gulfstream
Your second point, grim as it may be, is probably worth larger consideration. I'm projecting here, but I believe many of them were the kind of people that had 3 jobs in order to make ends meet and couldn't take time off to get the vaccine, and the subtext is that the economy was actually more reliant on that tiny pool of people (<0.2% of Americans) than we realized!

Israel was among the first countries to reach a vaccinated majority in March 2021, thats likely where this common wisdom comes from. but since then it appears that the vaccination rate has stagnated.

The article separates types from property testing, I can sympathize, it is true, it makes sense.

But testing is a tool for reliability to be used in conjunction with so many other tools like, you guessed it, typing.

In 2016 when this article was written, typing wasn't yet popular in Python. But now it is, and indeed more popular than property testing will ever be.

But Hypothesis doesn't support typing very well, though they do attempt [0]. But just take a look at that list of caveats. It is a hack job in comparison.

Even if you don't generate your Strategies from types, Hypothesis requires you to know whether the type you construct is internally a sum type or a product type. [1] The testing framework shouldn't have to know these details, this is unnecessary complexity.

If you think the QuickCheck strategy of having lawless unnamed instances is bad, there is now a Haskell library[2] where Gens are values, like they are in Hypothesis (where they are called Strategies). It probably became popular only after 2016, which could be why the article doesn't mention it. Hypothesis also supports "registering" strategies so that they are auto-discovered on-demand. It's done at runtime of course, unlike with QuickCheck, where it is type class based, as previously mentioned.

I applaud the article for cementing that property checking can work without typing, but I worry that readers will conclude that Haskell does it wrong, which is a false implication. You don't have to use ad-hoc polymorphism for discovering strategies.

In most Autopilot-related incidents, wasn't the driver somehow intentionally defeating safety features, such as by hanging a weight on the steering wheel? IMO, if you knowingly and intentionally defeat any safety system, you should be 100% on the hook for anything that happens that the safety system might have prevented, no matter how misleading any messaging may be.
