> The author's claim that the potential benefits of Starship are not understood by NASA is cringeworthy naive.

> Makes me wonder how old the author is.

The author works for JPL.

> Starship is still extremely unproven. If you look at the history of rockets, mayyyybe 1 in 5 that make it to an orbital launch debut (which is like 1 in 50 paper rockets) in turn make it to commercial rollout.

How many of these had 10+ prototypes fly and had a dedicate launch site near to complete?

How many had a working next generation engine for there first and second stage?

How many were designed by companies that had already developed the largest rocket in the world?

> burned many times by the promises of the next shiny rocket: DC-X, VentureStar, NASP, Ares, SLS,

Non of those were even remotely close. DC-X was a sub-orbital technology demonstrator. Even had it been successful it would have been nothing more. NASP is another technology demonstrator.

VentureStar was far, far away. Comparing it to Starship is just not accurate. It was basically almost delusional to think it would ever happen. And many people even back then were very skeptical of a SSTO Spaceplane. And beyond that politically it getting the needed funding was also not gone happen.

Ares, SLS are basically just warmed up shuttle concepts. These are designed to keep contractors employed, not to solve the problem. They no potential to solve anything.

I wonder if it would be a good idea to form an NPE solely to assert patents against the government. It might finally irk them enough to improve the patent laws.

Well done. I was working on something similar (diff for formatted html that handles moved sections) and there were a lot of gotchas.

I’m curious as to what the data actually shows about the client “annihilating the battery” when run under Rosetta translation, as opposed to a mere unsupported declaration/assumption that it does.
I remember when Travelocity went through layoffs in 2009. A thousand people out the door, about a third of all employees. No me, and I had just received a critically negative annual review for the prior year.
The environment is fine right now, and according to you, no policies have been in place to "help it". So I guess "anarchy" or "wild capitalism" works just fine.

The economy on the other hand is in total ruins, largely because of policies related to COVID-19, which also had a marginal impact on emissions. Imagine policies that have significant impacts...
If it was just 'hype' why did NASA select them for HLS?

They had all the data and they officially declared it was very doable and that SpaceX had a path to get there.

So its ok to plan for it but pretend it only exists for that one thing they contracted if for, and ignore if for everything else.

Your issue may be related to the connection. The limitation of 30 Hz makes me think you're connecting via HDMI. If that's all you have, you're SoL.

4k@60 requires HDMI 2, but Intel CPUs only recently have got that. 8th gen certainly doesn't have it.

You need DisplayPort for this to work. Laptops don't often have DP connectors, but they may have USB-C and/or Thunderbolt with DP alt-mode. This is what I use, hence the DP-xxx output name.

Yes, and the people who prioritized the 16-bit size were OK with Japanese looking ridiculous in order to achieve their goal. From the article:

> if the equivalent symptom was happening with English text, ιҭ wѳuld bє lѳѳκιng sѳmєҭЋιng lικє ҭЋιs.

From a page linked by the article, "I Can Text You A Pile of Poo, But I Can’t Write My Name":

> To help English readers understand the absurdity of this premise, consider that the Latin alphabet (used by English) and the Cyrillic alphabet (used by Russian) are both derived from Greek. No native English speaker would ever think to try “Greco Unification” and consolidate the English, Russian, German, Swedish, Greek, and other European languages’ alphabets into a single alphabet.

If there had been a proposal to sacrifice English in order to cram Unicode into a certain code space size, is there any question that the people on the panel whose first language was English would have quashed it?

But people who might have spoken out for Japanese, or for Indian languages, etc. were seemingly not in a position to do anything.
I know everyone loves showing hello world but for a "cloud language" I though it would be a one liner builtin to make a rest api that returns hello world.

For docs you can host a web server such as nginx or Microsoft IIS. For instance I stashed a copy of the Python docs on my laptop so I could access them on the go.

You have to make peace with build issues. There are systems like maven, pypi, npm, etc. that are endemic. They do a lot of downloading so you need to plan around that.

Yeah, I got this advice before and it makes sense. Even if I was looking for more of a "full-time-like" position that would happen to hire through a 1099 contract (not exactly sure if it's that form exactly for foreign contractors).

I ended up finding a job exactly like that on a small startup, so I am happy. But next time I am in the market, I will for sure apply to those "Remote(US)" jobs. Even though, in Substack case, the internal recruiter that told me that I couldn't apply.

Through surfaces on the horizontal stabilizer, the pilot controls the angle of attack of the wing, and hence the "lift" force perpendicular to it. If the pilot doesn't want any lift, there's no lift. The "vomit comet" for instance achieves weightlessness by flying a totally ballistic trajectory; the wings produce no lift for up to 30 seconds at a time.
I agree. It was funny once or twice, but at this point I'd rather not see comments like the parent comment on hacker news.

I’m curious if the Ivermectin crowd will latch onto this drug that actually appears to help with COVID.

Probably not because the Ivermectin crowd is a whole lot of snake oil salesmen and they can’t profit from a drug that your doctor might suggest.
Same. Very lightweight, does its job.
Maybe some brainstorming ideas. But I would be surprised if they've put effort into actually designing it yet.
Why is that, though? I think it points back to problems with earlier schooling. People used to be pretty independent at 18 in the past, as far as I know, with formative years being much earlier.
Probably make more custom satellites for scientific projects. There’s an infinite amount of such work to be done.

What is to prevent "franking" of capital gains the way dividends are franked (ie. every shareholder gets paid back whatever capital gains taxes they would need to pay to keep their stocks/control stable) ?

Obviously shareholders who are all equally affected by this would find this to be a fair deal. Likewise these companies exist because of the vision of the founders (or at least, that's a good argument to make. See Yahoo vs Google for example, or even Yahoo by itself)
You have it backwards.

This will be attacked by the alternative crowd.

Alternative medicine is nothing more than medicine that isn’t tested, because once it’s tested and proven it becomes, medicine.
> Second, you need redundancy.

No you don't. Just as there was no redundancy for Saturn V. As there is not for Falcon Heavy. There was no redundancy for Delta 4 Heavy. There is always a largest rocket.

And if you do need redundancy, SLS is not how you would get there.

If Starship doesn't work, then there will simply be no moon landing. Period.

> Iirc, NASA is trying to shift SLS production to the private sector, to try and "get rid" of this ugly duckling.

That is just contract mombo jumbo that changes nothing about the actual project.
Based on the fact that it would be more flying mass than the domestic airline industry.
This reminds me of an old episode of The Screen Savers where RMS was interviewed. This was when BitKeeper was very popular, but not yet open source, and Git did not exist. RMS was questioned about this and his immediate response was "just use UUCP"

A lot of times it is due to direct or indirect dependencies. Before the M1 there weren't many ARMv8 AArch64 users. Only a couple of distros starting providing ARMv8 AArch recently and even then not a lot of their packages could be built for that target.
It’s funny that he got so pilloried. We tell people that we value outside the box thinking, and a willingness to ask questions with no regard to looking stupid. But when these traits are actually displayed, the person will be mocked. Now…if he had followed through on it, after being told it’s dumb…
The only possible situation here is "A-types hire A-types; B-types hire C-types". If a single applicant can replace your entire engineering team (which definitely happened in this case) why wouldn't you hire them to build a widget?
Most people. Why? A myriad of reasons, potentially, but here are two big ones:

1. Because ad-supported hardware makes for low prices and people prefer to pay less.

2. Most people are largely uncaring about seeing advertising on their devices. It's why less than 30% of US residents block ads on the web.
That works if they are willing to treat you as a contractor (external provider as you say), but if they're hiring remote employees it won't fly. The company generally has to have a presence in the jurisdiction where the employee lives, and that adds overhead.
I started using MountainDuck and use Backblaze B2 as a storage provider. It helps me keep some stuff locally(and synced to B2) while other stuff only on B2 with the ability to simply pull down on demand. So far, it’s been great. Although I’m still on intel Mac. Don’t know whether they support M1 yet. Looks like they do.

Things go from “under investigation” medicine to medicine once good peer reviewed science shows them to be effective.

If the peer reviewed research shows them to not be effective, and if snake oil salesmen figure out a business model to fleece people with it, that’s when it becomes “alternative” medicine.

> That is still a 200-ton to Orbit launcher for the cost of a Falcon 9 or cheaper.

If they can't prove rapid reusability for both stages, it's extremely unlikely the cost will be anywhere close to as cheap as current estimates. And if they can't refuel in orbit (which as of now, has only been performed a handful of times with small satellites), Starship will be unable to leave Earth's gravity well.
> I am tempted to merge it with the HTTP model as well, add JSON tags to it.

If you add a property which shouldn't be public you have to separate them. For example in the domain model you have a user with email but do not want to expose the email.

Second argument: I usually create a simple struct for each method. For example I do not want, that they provide the id for post requests. I want to send the id on get requests so that they can send an update request with the id. I prefer only "non-null" arguments and as a bonus you get a clean (auto-generated) api documentation.
While you missed the joke, rclone and rsync are nice.

I wanted to get some sense of how much weight that is in Chicago building terms. 1 million metric tons is like sending 5 Sears Towers (aka Willis Tower) to Mars.
Under current rules of the road, there are circumstances where big ships are required to avoid the smallest vessels. That can particularly be the case if the small vessel is a sailboat or otherwise has restricted maneuverability (alpha flag), but there are a variety of factors involved. Small vessels operating close to shore often have no radar.

In 2020 there was 114 orbital launches supporting all space missions around the world. That's 0.013 launches per hour. 12 launches per hour to support a single mission does not seem at least a little insane? I love SpaceX and am hopeful for their Mars plans but we are scientists and engineers let's think with our brains and not our hearts.
This "invention" (see paulgb's link to the patent) sounds far too much like stackable plastic milk crates with $Logo_Of_Dairy printed on the side of 'em.

Or even more like the stackable plastic trays (and carts designed specifically for them) that you could find in the dishroom of most large cafeterias 50+ years ago.

And running actual stacks of those trays through the big dishwashing machine (say, to heat up a bunch of clean soup bowls right before they hit the serving line) was "d'oh, obvious" when I briefly had a dishroom job in the early 1980's.
I couldn't be happier with self publishing. As someone who is an expert at overthinking things, I finally just bit the bullet and went with what was easiest - for me, that was Gumroad.

Transcontinental railroads provided routes between already populated areas, with viable trade between them.

I tried switching to KDE yesterday (still in PopOS) and it's been a much better experience so far. I was able to customize a bunch of stuff including dock/global menu to be more macOS-like which is what I prefer, and the touchpad also seems to be much better integrated. I will look into Manjaro as well.

I did the same and it is working fine. There’s just 3 things that are missing in maestral if you don‘t care for the productivity stuff like comments etc.:

1) No overlay icons in the finder (see https://github.com/SamSchott/maestral/issues/443)

2) No incremental sync for large files where just a few blocks change (the API does not provide this)

3) No support for extended file attributes (so you cannot sync .app bundles)
1) previous employers/clients (always leave on good terms, so they might consider you for a short-term need)

2) Hacker News "Who Wants To Freelance?" posts (similar to "Who's Hiring" and "What Wants To Be Hired" posts and usually cross-linked

3) post your availability on LinkedIn

4) check out posts in python Meetups on Meetup.com
> (some concepts were right)

I would expect a lot of incorrect past models of science and its precursors to still be based on (mostly) correct data, so bad guesses were still informed bad guesses at least.
This is not a binary thing. There is such a thing as an interface that is clean and uncluttered, while still using icons that are at least distinguishable from each other. Otherwise you get none of the benefits of an uncluttered interface -- e.g. you have to hover by each button and read the tooltip to find the right one, which is precisely the kind of thing a clean interface is meant to avoid in the first place.

Also, Blender is not a grocery list app. While disregarding novice users does result in an application that's impossible to learn and that's obviously bad, it's equally unproductive to optimize an interface for people who see it for the first time. Blender is the kind of application that you spend tens, if not hundreds of hours learning before using it productively (let alone professionally). That's the target audience you're designing for, not people who download it and uninstall it if they get bored in the first thirty seconds.
"Mars trip with the same number of flights that's 170,000 launches to transport that 100million tons? And this guy is mad"

I think the idea that Starship will get us cities on mars is pure fantasyland. You could have a decent base on the moon, and maybe a visit to Mars, but if you want million tons to Mars, you have to go beyong chemical rockets, build a mars transit vehicle, etc.

It makes no sence to forgo those technologies if you are moving billions of tons.
I'm no financial guru, even enthusiast, but my impression is that your average investor is interested in very short term profit. If you listened to last Telsa's shareholder meeting, one of the top questions was whether Tesla was going to pay dividends! People expect a company that's ramping up faster than any other in the history, building largest factories left and right, to pay dividends to its share holders! I'm in awe how they didn't just laugh the question off and didn't take back the shares from those shareholders (only if they could).

> It ends up being ~100,000 launches over 10 launch windows. Elon has talked about building 1000 starships

managing that many launches...spaceships mid-journey, refueling in space ETC... would the 'head count' at spaceX have to increase greatly, or would they keep a relatively small crew and just 'scale out' having it mostly controlled by code/automation
Which begs the question: If placebos (sometimes) work, (particularly when administered in hospital settings and when expensive, at least in the eyes/brain of the patient) is it unethical to administer/provide them?
If they were trying something genuinely new - like falling out of orbit and making a propulsive upright landing of a wingless booster - then some skepticism would be justified.

But what's new in Starship?
> The whole point is that Starship actually allows you to start thinking of the very problems you speak of.

Thank you for pointing that out - I just realized that with Starship, we even could start thinking about putting some smaller asteroids out of a potential collision course with it.
