> Based on what, your gut feel?

Based on the fact that every orbital launch requires airspace restrictions, local road closures, blocked patches of sea and launch permissions.

The regulatory framework alone is incapable of dealing with that (keep in mind that every orbital rocket is basically an ICBM), let alone the fact that you'd have to spread launches over multiple sites therefore rendering considerable patches of air- and waterways completely closed up for weeks on end.

And that's just the regulatory side of things. There's also the logistical side wherein you'd have to consider methane production and -storage as well as ground operations.

100t-class orbital rockets aren't aeroplanes and the procedures involved in checking, refuelling and launch are much more involved. Keep in mind that SpaceX of all companies was the first company who managed to lose a rocket during fuelling in over 5 decades.

Now scale that risk (of currently 1:129 - make that 1:1000 since I'm being generous here) to 9,000 launches and you'd be looking at about 9 major explosions (worst case) per launch campaign and that's without the added stress from an unprecedented launch cadence taken into account.

You'd be looking at this: https://youtu.be/AOFVuAmcoCA?t=43

two times a week and handwaving that away by quoting fantasy goals for the achievable reliability isn't going to change the fact that even one such incident would halt the entire program for a considerable amount of time.

> You are being deliberately misleading with this statement.

No, I wasn't. I simply stated he wasn't there, and he wasn't. I didn't imply anything beyond that he wasn't there.

> proves the parents point.

No it doesn't. People violate different things and are allowed to continue to operate. Virgin Orbit was just stopped from operating and had to go threw review.

Doing a review of company and its safety culture is standard procedure.

This is not a human launcher, those have far higher requirements.

Can you actually show that if it wasn't SpaceX, the company would have somehow been stopped from continuing?
I don't think my ISP can easily intercept the content of DoT DNS requests.

They would need a valid certificate for 1.1.1.1#cloudflare-dns.com or 9.9.9.9#dns.quad9.net from a trusted (by me) CA, correct?

Now obviously that's not impossible but is a VPN any better in that scenario?
It wasn't until 1786 that the British government first employed one of the (relatively few) black men in a minor role, yet I'm supposed to believe based on a contemporary reading of this text (before "black" was nearly widely used to mean what it does today) that this (at least 3rd generation) British professor at Cambridge was black?

Highly doubtful. I'm not sure what statistics you are basing off of.

Here's a more reputable source than me:

> An account apparently purports him to be "a little short man, of black complexion, and fat", though we have been unable to locate any specific contemporary source. However, such words even if used do not necessarily indicate he is of black-African descent, as the term can refer also to Spaniards, Italians, Greeks, Arabs, Ethiopians, or Jews. Jonathan Swift uses the expression "a tall, thin, very black man, like a Spaniard or Jew." In the given context it is almost certainly intended as a slight against Michell by painting him as something he was likely not. The Royal Society famously refused election to Jamaican scientist Francis Williams (1702-1770), on account of his complexion, and it almost certainly would not have elected a black man as early as 1760. Moses Da Costa became the first Jew elected to the Society in 1736, and a second was elected in 1747; the first female was not elected until 1945. The earliest black individual we could determine that attended Queens College, Cambridge was an American, Alexander Crummell, who graduated 1853.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the plus side, it's more secure (which is especially nice since my less-than-tech-savvy family use iPads quite a lot). Moreover, even if you had an unlocked iPad, it would be inferior to a laptop in most respects anyway (most standing cases don't allow you to actually work from your lap, keyboards are awful, etc). So while it would be neat to be able to do development work from an iPad, it's really only useful in those rare occasions where you really can't afford an extra cubic inch (or whatever the difference between a MacBook Air and an iPad is) in your luggage.
A Case for Public Transit
I'm not up to date on if there are any counter opinions to this, but I've heard that placebo's are similar in effect to SSRIs[1] - Though as always there's a lot of buts/ifs there.[2] My assumption is that a placebo causes people to expect things to get better and reduces stress levels, increases sleep quality and so on. I would figure a very supportive social network (family, prayer group) would probably have a similar effect.

That being said like you say for something more severe the placebo alone isn't going to do much, but I would imagine if you gave people a placebo that they thought would improve their stage 4 cancer recovery you would probably see an effect.

Yes, except that you CAN instance collections. You can do linked imports of collections and you can do linked duplicates of collections. And I understand the difference conceptually, but what I'm saying is that the distinction always ends up being arbitrary to me from and actual usage point of view. If I've made a wall or a tower out of mesh data directly, or a collection of objects, it makes no difference to me in regards to my intentions. I have a wall that I would like to instance around my scenes, and I have all the same motivations for wanting to use non-destructive workflow as I would were it an object. If I were to have to combine my collection into an object, it defeats the purpose.

Say I was building a scene like King's Landing. For each building, I'd like to have a file representing that building, that I can instance around a scene representing, say, a city block. I'll do a linked import of the building, so any changes I do to the building will take effect around the scene, and I'd like to make use of arrays and other modifiers for ad hoc instance changes. Again, my motivations for wanting a non destructive workflow are completely the same, regardless of whether that building is an object or a collection.

Now, as of now, my only option is for it to be an object. However, what if I want to use a collection of other objects in order to build the building? I want a cellar door that I'd like to have instanced. I'd like a ladder outside, and a few barrels on the second story. I want these instanced for all the same reasons. My preference, of course, would be for the building to be a collection of all these things, but if I want to then treat my building as one of these such objects at the next higher level of detail, I can't.

So you're dismissive of my intentions by insisting that the difference is meaningful, whereas I simply see it as a failure of abstraction. Objects and collections are ultimately both worldspace coordinates holding mesh data, the only difference is if they're nested at all. And like I said, collections CAN be nested. That relationship is already established. Collections CAN be instanced, that use case is already established. It's really just the modifiers that are missing. And from a programming perspective, the logic of "get the mesh data from the object I've been assigned to in order to apply this transformation" is the only thing that needs to be tweaked. Rather than going one level deep, it will say "and if this is mesh data, stop, else iterate."
Right, I actually disagree still, not because of the genericness of the patent itself but because it was a good finesse. And also because we are looking at it from 2021's eyes and not 2001's eyes.

We need to rewind to 2001 and 2002 here, where the priority date of this patent begins.

TSA was created as part of a series of kneejerk reactions to the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks in November 2001. Congress was merely a tool here as there was almost zero original bills passed, just pet projects that enterprisers and war hawks had already written as bills, forwarded to their favorite committees when it was convenient.

Within 8 months this person has their provisional patent filed that predicts how these checkpoints will be structured and how they could further function. July 2002.

Here, I agree that it was patentable because this level of security really was not in use anywhere back then. There was no need for an efficient baggage binning system back then. Just a few government buildings had scanners for just a couple people at a time.

The TSA did not implement this until after this patent holder presented the proposal to them.

The TSA also had a choice of not doing these obvious things. The patent system allows for infinite permutations to be patented, as well as patents to cover many of those permutations. The TSA did a very specific one, this isn't really that ambiguous.

I agree with the patent examiner, I agree with the judge. Also thank you for validating my point about how non-practicing entities get scapegoated way too much, I appreciate that. Hope my perspective still offers more insight others can agree with.
I like this. We should do the same for copyright: the owner of the thing (patent; trademark; copyright) declares a value, then they pay a tax on the value; anyone else can “pay the balance” to buy off the monopoly.
Let’s not get in to debates about the masculine thing to do, when the person who said that is on social media cryin hard about perceived unfairness and retweeting people who’s opinions are hard right garbage.
NASA is hamstrung by Congress here. Congress mandated the SLS program. It's not meant to be competitive with SpaceX. SLS is a jobs program for key districts, no more, no less. It's welfare for Boeing.

I don't know if NASA personnel cannot plan for or even discuss SpaceX. It's probably not that overt. The powers there probably just realize it'd be career suicide to do so.

I completely agree that reducing LEO payload costs (in $/kg) by 2 or even 3 orders of magnitude will be game-changing.

Personally I'd like to see a viable competitor to SpaceX here because competition is good and it drives innovation. But it isn't Boeing, ULA or even Blue Origin. I actually think Blue Origin is so culturally broken that you'd almost be better off starting from scratch.
DDD works well enough for translating a business domain to computer code, and if your main obstacle is byzantine business requirements it's great, but I wouldn't want to develop something like an MPEG encoder or an operating system based on that principle. They have quite different types of difficulties that don't benefit from DDD.
If that, then yes, of course. But does that hold?

If you've got Jon's money you can just buy help for your family. So from the perspective of a rich guy who can afford a live-in nanny, I'm not surprised he thinks 6 months of paternity leave is extravagant.

But for normal people, you're lucky if you have some family to help out a day or two in the first few weeks. In the case of my wife and I for our son, we were flying solo. And that's assuming a normal birth - if your new baby has to spend time in the NICU... that's extra nerve wracking and emotionally taxing even though technically there are trained staff "taking care" of your baby.

> Not sure how it’s causing him so many troubles.

The allegation is that Cloudflare's in the (anycast) CDN business, hence its customers do not require EDNS (ECS) to be steered to the geographically-nearest server, and so, they naturally want to kill EDNS (ECS) and that privacy's just an excuse.

As a consumer, I agree with what Cloudflare's doing (though they could potentially engineer a solution to send fake/blind EDNS (ECS)). Wearing my developer hat, I also agree with archive.is' decision to stage a protest.
I thought eReader screens were supposed to outperform paper? The problem with these is that they have very low refresh rates relative to typical laptop screens (but still far higher than paper!)
I was also thinking about this after reading the original thread.

If the port is full and the trucks are full, clearly we have more overall containers than before. Where did they come from? And is the place they come from now short on containers?

Those are of course separate problems. If we are accumulating empty containers, you could just dump them somewhere for the time being. Yes, the trucks would have to drive somewhere else than the port to dump them, but that's clearly better than economic standstill. And if it turns out that China is short on empty containers, then we might need to work on the incentives for ships to bring back the empties.

But unless this whole clogging was caused by a very temporary spike in container throughput, increasing buffer capacity will only alleviate the problem for so long.

I've been pondering for a while if being at certain points on the bathtub curve of learning/integrating new things (the disorientation phase, the sense of no progress) may create exponential sensitivity to emotional stress (like burnout) and make it feel 100x worse. Reading this, now I'm wondering if maybe a similar bathtub curve effect (specifically the "I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel" part) associated with the open-ended constant mental engagement of looking for work precipitates a similar sort of sensitivity to ROI outcomes (with obvious preferences toward lots of positivity).

If this is the case, then as direct as it is to say - these mechanisms are just that, mental mechanisms, and it just happens that when "low point of bathtub curve" bounces off of "really badly timed negative ROI event" bounce off of each other, it's like the result is amplified almost beyond reason. Long-term the signal value ("this will kill your spirit") is absolutely true, but in the immediate (ultra-short) term, compartmentalizing and ignoring it may be both safe and actively helpful. (Standard internet advice disclaimer applies)

TL;DR: Good luck, and may circumstances and equilibrium materially improve and solidify.

These scenarios are different for standalone app devs versus system or enterprise devs.

For enterprise or systems devs, the negatives of attempting to host a complex system environment on your laptop outweigh the challenges of marginal network coverage (except when there is no network coverage).

Because of those negatives, even dedicated full time dev machines on gigabit connectivity are moving towards CodeEnvy style local (and portable) workspace for edit, with remote deploy/run/debug models. That's basically thin client / thick client debate coming around again.

Vast majority of enterprise/system devs are not so remote as to have to run a simulated cloud environment (e.g. minikube) locally, and I've found almost zero rural areas in the US that can't do a mosh session over the iPad Pro's cellular chip.
I'll add that cryptography is such a complex topic it is widely known you should never "roll out your own encryption". (sources: 12,000,000 of them on Google)

theoretically there could be flaws in any component, including even stolen root certificates, or super computers, even quantum computers. it comes down to price of the safe vs. value inside.

Yeah, the devil is in the details. I have a workmate that surprised me saying he's taking a year off paternity leave, getting a monthly paycheck from the state.

> 7. The Placebo Effect. We hear a lot about “pain gating” in the spine, but the PP model does a good job of explaining what this is: adjusting pain based on top-down priors. If you believe you should be in pain, the brain will use that as a filter to interpret ambiguous low-precision pain signals. If you believe you shouldn’t, the brain will be more likely to assume ambiguous low-precision pain signals are a mistake. So if you take a pill that doctors assure you will cure your pain, then your lower layers are more likely to interpret pain signals as noise, “cook the books” and prevent them from reaching your consciousness.

> Psychosomatic pain is the opposite of this; see Section 7.10 of the book for a fuller explanation.
I should have clarified this earlier. Personally I'm interested in how competitive Intel will be in the future (their stock took a massive dive recently).

Right now, it seems to me that Intel is behind both on the node and on the architecture vs M1 (and AMD). I expect them to eventually fix the node (or just buy from TSMC) but if they don't fix the latter that's a big deal.

From the POV of buying a CPU/laptop today, absolutely, power comparison and performance both are essential.
yeah I have a cheaper vizio and I found that just not connecting it to wifi is a much better experience. the 'smart tv' features are not very good compared to a dedicated chromecast anyways.
> 1. Dodged a bullet (booo on any company that would reject someone with this level of passion).

Passion is a double-edged sword: When a person's passions align closely with the company's needs, it's wonderful.

But if a person's passions conflict with what the founders want, the passion can amplify the conflict.

That's why it's important to understand exactly what the candidate is passionate about. If they're passionate about helping the company wherever necessary, that's one thing. If they're passionate about something tangential and they expect the shift the company in that direction by joining, that's something else.

Codeamigo appears distinctly different than Codeacademy in some key areas, as the author explains, so I wouldn't assume that his passions aligned exactly with what Codeacademy was hiring fire. I think it's best to give the benefit of the doubt to Codeacademy in this case.

Remember: Being rejected from a job doesn't mean someone is unqualified or a bad developer. There's more to matching candidates to a team and not every candidate is a good match for every team.

My recommendations for how to deal with this shit, in decreasing order of effectiveness:

1. Don't buy a Samsung or LG TV. Unfortunately, if you're in the market for a real high-end TV, you often don't have another option

2. Never connect it to the internet and use a dedicated streaming box/stick instead. If you don't have one, or don't want to give up a HDMI port...

3. Block the following domains on your router or via a free OpenDNS account:

- ads.samsung.com

- config.samsungads.com

- doubleclick.net

- gpm.samsungqbe.com

- log-config.samsungacr.com

- samsungacr.com

- samsungads.com

- samsungosp.com

- samsungotn.net

- samsungrm.net

- tvx.adgrx.com

No more ads.

This shit makes my blood boil. I have a laundry list of issues with this TV, which is a shame because when it's not actively trying to make me hate the company it's actually a very nice display. LG pull this shit too, but I think they're slightly less awful than Samsung. I didn't particularly want an OLED panel which is why I went for a Samsung LCD, and I regret that decision regularly.
The impact on truckers is a side effect... At the core, he's saying that the problem is a lack of unloading capacity. There aren't enough cranes, chassis, and railcars to handle both the regular shipping traffic, plus the backed up traffic from the pandemic... And the throughput gets worse, exponentially, as the system becomes overloaded. So the lack of capacity is making things worse.

But in the short term, the demand for cargo shipping is relatively inelastic. As costs rise, most shipping customers will just bite the bullet and pay the higher fees, because they'll go completely out of business without overseas shipping.

If everyone knew the port cargo crisis was going to be a long-term phenomenon, the shippers would probably invest money in buying more cranes, chassis, etc. to increase capacity. But those capital investments cost a lot of money up front, so they don't make good business sense if you expect the cargo crisis to end relatively quickly.

So far, the cargo shipping companies have just been jacking up prices, expecting that their customers will keep paying... But since they're not sharing the wealth with their drivers, by paying more & investing in infrastructure to improve throughout, they're exacerbating the problem.
