Risking going off tangent, I highly doubt that would happen. When you work in a domain, your entire life becomes it, you slowly lose wider context and alternative perspective. I doubt there are many people who purposefully want to be the bad guys, it seems more like "learned indifference". Just like many people who eat meat on a daily basis but would be uncomfortable with a thought of a chicken being killed in a process (and some freak out from a sight of a live lobster in a restaurant tank). Maybe it's a negative side of the "flow" - losing some degree of empathy.
No, there will be one excuse after another. Starship isn't human rated and only Orion is rated for human deep space flight. So something else will still be needed to launch Orion to that lunar trajectory. That something else is SLS.

Now the obvious solution is to rate Dragon for deep space and launch humans in that on a falcon and have it meet up with a starship in LEO. But getting that will probably take more years and billions paid to to the Orion and SLS POR before it will actually come to pass.

That's kinda what did AND didn't work for me when it came to programming.

In college my first class was a class about C, the instructor read from the book (that appeared to be written about C for people who already knew C...) and then you worked on the assignment.

I didn't have the patience at that age to work that way and dropped the class / decided programming wasn't for me.

I did some other tech things and decades later ended up working with a bunch of engineers at a company and realized that we understood each other / how we worked really well. Company was bought out and I had time to think about what to do next.

By this time the world of web development and web apps had taken off and there was so much information available / folks sharing the land of programming seemed entirely different to me. Attended a boot camp and everything just clicked, the immediacy of producing something in a web app (even if it broke) really drove home what I was doing and so on. I've been happily coding since then.

AIS has a 50ms window to transmit data on just 2 channels(69,70). Not much of a problem when there are only a few ships in a few miles radius. But in a congested harbor transmitters may never get that window in a timely manner.

I've experienced cargo ships popping up out of nowhere in AIS (I could see them on radar) in Valleta harbor. A proper AP will have to ingest information from all sources (vision, sound, radar, AIS) to be able to work outside of the low traffic areas.

For me, programming was like being a little god in my own little world. For an introvert especially, it was exhilarating. You write a command, and it obeys. When you see something on screen is even more satisfying.

In fact, the all-night coding binges happen because in an intense period of learning, you are producing a ton of adrenaline, and that annihilates sleep. (Sorry, working, don't care to look for the study right now). But it checks out.
Despite having a good chunk of my "retirement" money in the market, I try to avoid paying much attention to it's day to day issues. So no, I did not see what happened to MSFT.

But look, the point is that there are two fundamental reasons to buy a stock. One is to collect dividends paid to stock owners (so called "blue chip" stocks). The other is because you believe the price of the stock will rise. (For the big players, there's also the issue of corporate control, but that's not a factor for most investors, even many institutional ones)

There are many reasons why the price of a stock will rise. One of them could be more people wanting in on the dividend payout, and them being willing to pay (a bit) more than the current price. That could happen due to demographic changes (ie. shifts in the number of people who want dividend paying stocks), it could happen due to a change in the expectation of what those dividends will be (as in your MSFT example).

But it can also (and demonstrably has) happen(ed) that the price rises because derivative beliefs about the likely future price. And that's precisely what happened in the case of amzn and dozens if not hundreds of tech startups over decades: there was never any profit (and in some cases there never would be any profit), but there was a belief about either:

1. that future profit would be above a certain level
2. the number of people who believed in 1, and so would drive the price up
3. the number of people who believed in 2, and so would drive the price up
4. [ repeat as deep as you think feasible ]

As for the Gates anecdote, I prefer the stories from German CEOs who express wonderment at the idea that anyone would pay attention to quarterly results.
There is the second chance, but stories that don’t resonate disappear quickly even after that. I included this in the tweaking the mods can do. I guess I went a bit far about editorialising, but it’s still a minor effect.
Even if you assume only basic first stage re-usability (that is well proven). That is still a 200-ton to Orbit launcher for the cost of a Falcon 9 or cheaper.

And for what it is worth, SLS should be canceled no matter if Starship exists or not. Its a program that embodies everything bad about the modern space industry and space policy.

Any tips/ideas for configurations for selective content blocking by device? I'd like to block content on the kids' devices, but not for the adults in the household. I'm not concerned about circumvention at this point. I'm currently using a pi-hole for ad blocking, so I'd like to configure something at that level, unless there's a better way.
There are ways other than legal systems to prevent that. I'm sure they would have no problem deploying their own police forces and providing basic protections against anyone less than a military force who would try to just take their land.

Military forces are a separate problem from legal problems. I think rather a lot of the people rushing to correct me are conflating the two in their heads. When you say "just being taken by other Americans", are you thinking of a rogue criminal or some sort of organized invasion?

Personally, I suspect that even if you tried the sort of organized invasion that a civilian might try to put together that you'd still find yourself up against some stiff resistance. Criminals in general are less than excited about stealing from people when they can almost count on being shot at. They steal from people who won't shoot at them.

The problem is when you get to military levels of invasion, at the level where you start putting together forces that count on being shot at and still overpowering you.

Who's "they"?

Surely you don't mean the Go team, which has had this in the language FAQ since 2009 [1]:

Why does Go not have generic types?

Generics may well come at some point. We don't feel an urgency for
them, although we understand some programmers do.

Generics are convenient but they come at a cost in
complexity in the type system and run-time. We haven't yet found a
design that gives value proportionate to the complexity, although we
continue to think about it. Meanwhile, Go's built-in maps and slices,
plus the ability to use the empty interface to construct containers
(with explicit unboxing) mean in many cases it is possible to write
code that does what generics would enable, if less smoothly.

There is no guarantee for that, but usually 5850U is used in ultra-thin laptops and they don't have enough cooling for more than 15W... For example, CPU in Thinkpad X1 Extreme GEN 4 is limited 27 WATT (at least models without vapor chamber) and it's a laptop with quite a good cooling and larger size.

Regarding your "Direct training-to-employment pipeline" I've been thinking about a very similar idea.

I have assumed you'd have the offer the course for free and then make your money by placing successful "graduates" with employers who pay a commission for each one.

I think this is generally a symptom of current leadership practices, where the people making decisions about technical direction are not people who understand how their product functions. This generally isn't top leadership, but the upper and mid level management, who feel they need to "make their mark" on the product to get promoted.

Yep, same same, but different. For me it was music and sound, starting with a blank canvas and mixing in digital signals and controls to build something out. Could have been with a DAW, but programming was just a more flexible and free-form blank-canvas for self expression.

If only we had easy access to scalable video (SVC). If a container format supported it, the web browser could perform range queries to get the interesting bits as needed, no need for additional code.

And the uploader would need to transcode only once. This doesn't solve the codecs issue, but I think you could get away with offering one or two common codecs.
There is a lot to how you perceive something that influences how you will react to what's going on.

I was just today thinking about the difference between how both my children were born. There were so similar in the time they happened, how they were late, how the birth was triggered etc. But in the first case we were picked up by an emergency vehicle (there was no emergency, they just told us to do this), so it was dark, with this scary blue light as if somebody is dying, to some hectic in the hospital. And in the second we went very quietly to our appointment, rode the bus on a sunny day, took a relaxing walk outside the hospital as we were waiting etc.

When it was done with the first, my wife was pale and shivering, completely out of everything, and with the second she was just exhausted but could still smile and enjoy taking our newborn. And she looked happy.

Of course there is the case of the first being more scary because of the unknowns, but you could also make a case that it was so traumatic that it should've ruined the second one.

I also fell down on ice once and had a case of whiplash. I got worried as I was reading about the potential long term, especially in the US. And I then switched to the German Wikipedia that said doctors in Germany tell patients to relax for a few days and it will go away, and that long term issues are virtually unknown.

You could go on and on really. When you go to a doctor and they have almost no time for you, you will not feel better. Compare that with going in to somebody doing homeopathy. A friend told me they went and got a cup of tea and an hour to talk about their health issues.

So the body is obviously complicated.
It's crazy that patents can be granted for 'inventions' that are nothing more than common sense. Being the first mover on hiring a patent attorney and filing the paperwork should not be rewarded.

I suppose drawing a definitive line where common sense ends and invention begins is difficult so we end up with the current system.

For a laptop, sure, but that's not what's interesting me in a desktop, which is what people are jerking themselves off over with the potential of the M1 and M2. For many workloads, power consumption isn't an issue. I want my CPU to draw 150W and burn as hard as possible to make my build finish as fast as possible.
Sure, but there are very few UIs that require 100% of a modern CPU core. Exceptions exist, but they're just that, exceptions.

I'd go one step further and say that if modern apps are doing that that they should move the CPU heavy tasks out of the message thread. (And most have, again, since we're like 10-15 years into multi-core systems being the default.)
COVID is in fact mild for the vast majority. That is a simple fact, and not one that can be dismissed with strange non-population adjusted comparisons. Actually nobody really knows how many people died from the Spanish flu, so I really wonder where you heard that idea. Wikipedia says:

"Estimates of deaths range from 17 million to 50 million, and possibly as high as 100 million, making it one of the deadliest pandemics in human history."

NB: The high estimates come from epidemiological modelling so should probably be ignored as such modelling has no legitimacy. But even for the USA alone, there's no agreement on how many died, especially as many people (especially in the USA) seem to have been killed by aspirin overdoses rather than the flu itself. At the time aspirin was new and considered a miracle cure. Doctors panicked prescribed doses that we now know are far, far too high. From a paper published in 2009:

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091002132346.h...

High aspirin dosing levels used to treat patients during the 1918-1919 pandemic are now known to cause, in some cases, toxicity and a dangerous build up of fluid in the lungs, which may have contributed to the incidence and severity of symptoms, bacterial infections, and mortality. Additionally, autopsy reports from 1918 are consistent with what we know today about the dangers of aspirin toxicity, as well as the expected viral causes of death.

The motivation behind the improper use of aspirin is a cautionary tale, said author Karen Starko, MD. In 1918, physicians did not fully understand either the dosing or pharmacology of aspirin, yet they were willing to recommend it. Its use was promoted by the drug industry, endorsed by doctors wanting to “do something,” and accepted by families and institutions desperate for hope. “Understanding these natural forces is important when considering choices in the future,” Dr. Starko said. “Interventions cut both ways. Medicines can save and improve our lives. Yet we must be ever mindful of the importance of dose, of balancing benefits and risks, and of the limitations of our studies.”

A big part of the cost of space missions is not making things as light as possible, but developing the scientific instruments. More upmass doesn't always make designing sensitive scientific instruments easier.

If said scientific instruments need to go on a rover, mass still matters. More mass can limit rover mobility and at some point the rover requires more power than can be provided with RTGs or solar cells.
We've been _under_ investing in scientific research, especially in regards to space, for decades.

What spending we do have is usually focused on militaristic applications.

How does this reflect poorly on space travel research? If you're using the current status quo to argue that spending priorities are broken, you're not arguing against NASA funding. You're arguing against the military-industrial complex.

If important research is done through public agencies, the public reaps the benefits of this research. If private industry is allowed to take the reins, corporate interests and shareholders are the ones who benefit.
Better to look at the claims, which define the scope of rights granted. That said, the broadest claim pretty much tracks this language. I wonder if the broadest claim survived, or if the verdict was based on a narrower dependent claim.

In the spaces where waves and wakes make a difference the tolerances are larger. The one exception is for example smaller commuter ferries without a ramp, then you might have to time it as you say.

Wind and current doesn't really matter as long as you have dynamic position which abstracts it away as long as you keep within your power budget. The real hard part here is moving through a shifting environment, for example the current often reverses along banks. Especially in a river based harbor environment where you've created piers and what not disrupting the flow.

In a previous life I worked as a skipper in just those conditions, passenger ferries in the 25-40m sizes with a couple of hundred passengers in river harbour environment. Two props and bowthruster and you have to keep all the considerations you mention in account. Especially since you can't angle the stern without angling the bow (duh) when you're applying reverse thrust to dock. And with some speed forward you move the center of rotation forward making the bow thruster less effective.

It was actually easier with quite a strong wind since then that would overcome the current easily and you would lie on the wind margin side of things. If you come too high just make the docking take a bit longer so you would blow down and land perfectly. In almost calm conditions you would instead have to guess which would win that time, wind or current.

That said, the ones with two pods, one at each end you just balance things out and go straight to the dock.
Counter-anecdote - I published a book through Wiley about 10 years ago and I felt like they added a lot of value. They had a copy editor proofread the book carefully and I was really amazed at how she was able to focus on the grammar in spite of the fact that she didn't understand (or much care to understand) the subject material at all. They punched up the title and the presentation a bit and did all the marketing - I'm sure I never would have been on the shelves at B&N if I had self-published.
