We have trillion dollar corporations these days. Economically, this does not seem as far out of reach as you might think.
Less important than you might think if you have as much mass margin as they do. You can do years with just oxygen (Starship HLS will use oxygen from the propellant tank) and regenerative CO2 scrubbers (which are pretty simple). Also, they have access to NASA’s technical expertise, and NASA has been working with closed loop life support for decades on ISS, now.

Tons and tons and tons of mass margin covers a multitude of sins. A lot of the difficulties of “must haves” for Mars are really just a side effect of substantial mass constraints. Relax those, and it’s much simpler with tech close to what they’ve already demonstrated.
Got you. We will add the pricing soon just for the sake of right budgeting.
You might need to specify which kinds of gasses or particles you need to measure.

I would have assumed CO2 from the context, but since you mentioned cars I'm wondering if you mean CO, VOCs, and/or PM32.
The best no code tools empower non-developers (and are thus poorly understood by HN). You’ve named some good examples.

> doubling the salary

Except then word gets out that you’ll get a big raise at company X if you threaten to leave and they have to start paying everyone that amount. Even the people who would have otherwise stayed for 5 years at the lower salary.

This is why I’ve always assumed you have to change jobs if you want a raise.

Also - yes, precisely! The internet abounds with posts about how Apple's market cap is larger than most countries GDP already. If the trend of tech-giants growth keeps pace, we may have multi-trillion dollar companies whose revenue will rival nations' GDPs.

At that point, the 'guild' of workers around the world will may have enough political power to be backed by the company, which will have enough leverage to influence law everywhere.

What gives you the impression this would be costly? It should fit easily in a FaunaDB free plan, with Netlify or Vercel (also free) for serverless functions if you need logic.
I should probably write more but this is what I do on my stream at https://twitch.tv/agentultra -- we've built a streaming replication library for PostgreSQL (from scratch all the way up to released package) and are presently exploring different native GUI frameworks.

I tend to focus more on building things than the theory and hope that folks are seeing the practical side of programming in Haskell.
Even with the island fully submerged, I suppose the land won't be far enough underwater that you couldn't build a platform or something with foundations.
You've been pretty vague so far, so it's hard to offer concrete advice. A few thoughts, though:

>I hear the words "why not both" in my head, but I'm not sure how to pull that off.

In my time working with open source, I have found only one good way to monetize an open source project: hosting. Keep it simple: users can pay $x/month to access your service on your servers, or they can host it themselves for free. If you really want to turn up the heat, offer direct support tickets and feature requests for your paid users, but do not pull punches on your self-hosted version. Ideally, you can have your cake and eat it too: software like Grafana and Obsidian.md have gotten away with this for a while, and they've seen the benefits of both open-source and business customers. It's a beautiful thing, if you can pull it off.
>I certainly can't say it didn't happen, there were definitely some less stable mods and of course the subject of this thread was the top admin for most of the forums' life, but my experience tells me that your friend was likely not entirely honest with you about why they got banned.

Keep in mind I am talking about something that happened back in 2003. I long ago lost touch with this person. He was SA's biggest cheerleader and he couldn't believe I didn't have an SA forums account since I am a huge computer nerd that spent countless hours on multiple forums in those days and SA was the "place to be" back then.

He actually did show me a screenshot of the post that got him banned and I couldn't believe he got banned over that. No profanity, calling people names, nothing that got you banned from most forums. He was just calmly explaining why he thought a movie he had just seen that day wasn't very good in his opinion. He did register another account since his whole online life was based on SA at the time. By the time I thought about maybe registering an SA account it was already on the way out as being the center of internet culture.

One thing I could never figure out back in the day was SA's burning hatred of FARK.com. I used to go there just to skim the news and check out the comments. Apparently admitting liking FARK on SA was a big no no and would get you relentlessly mocked.

Again this is all ancient 15+ year old drama at this point.

This is my thought as well.

Its funny how quickly we've gone from people trying to redefine censorship, i.e.: "it's not censorship if a corporation does it!", to just blatantly pathetic attempts to squash dissent like this latest move.
If I do not drink and drive, why would I pay money to install a system to detect if I drink and drive? I would be throwing money out the window for zero gain.

However, I can with zero hypocrisy argue that everyone should have to do this before being allowed on the road, including myself. We can't tell who needs to have these installed, so we have to specify "everybody" for it to be effective. That would cover myself, which is annoying, but I would still gain a benefit from it would decrease my chances of someone else crashing into me while drunk.

And, I should not need to tell you this, but what is stopping me from paying higher taxes right now is that that is not a thing you can do. There is no voluntary tax payment.
I am an engineer with 20+ years of hands on keyboard, I've got projects that are now part of Apache, 1000's of stars on github. I've been CTO at a number of startups that have got significant funding. My point is to establish some credibility. I probably still suck.

Having said that, I have been working with Microsoft PowerAutomate for the past 1.5 years and while it has saved a lot of time and been overall a good experience, there are times when the no code/low code gets in the way and I wish I could just "drop into code" to get something done. Examples are things like data validation.
This technology is not going to replace coding, the paradigm shift is really happening for people in the marketing and sales operations parts of the business. For these folks, this tech is life changing.
In a lot of ways, this tech felt like when you try a new framework in your language of choice; at first it's super easy and you get hyped, and then you hit a requirement where the nocode/lowcode environment really gets in the way.
> What do you think about this movement?

It's not a movement, more like a mini-trend based on rediscovery of an old idea. At least not a pure investor duping like "metaverse".

> Clearly these apps/platforms enable non-developers to solve a bunch of problems which would otherwise need a software engineer. Is this a paradigm shift?

If it is, it happened in the last century and many times since then already. You could still hype it up for a new domain to grab some investor money, I guess.
Sure. We will add email registration soon.
>Is there no category for 4-wheeled vehicles sort of like "buyer beware, this is a dangerous vehicle but you are welcome to purchase and register it with that understanding"?

yeah. it's a string.
The middle way would be if git tracked branches historically.

Platforms like Alteryx (https://www.alteryx.com/) used for large data cleaning strike me as a strange stop gap between a clunky system like Excel (which has its natural 1 million row limit) and Python/R/SQL that are full OOP and are likely considered too hard to learn for many business professionals. And yet watching people using the platform looks tortuous! Why not invest in an often free application that you can fully control instead of buying an expensive, no-code based application? Likely has to do with what allows you to maintain talent / not pay for 'programmer' up front in salary costs.
You're right, 'A G-MAN' is so much better.
There are also options to purchase power generation from wind only. This means that any generation fees charged to them would be put solely into the pockets of renewable energy providers. This would fund expanding demand for wind and solar in Texas. Now are they doing this? Possibly not.

Power usage isn't necessarily a negative for carbon reduction.
I disagree. Starship HLS with requires 10 launches per mission. An extra expendable Starship/SuperHeavy launch with Orion on top is not a substantial challenge in comparison (although lots of engineering involved, but they’re good at that).

One of my favorite mythbusters episodes actually tested drunk driving. Tory was the only member who performed very well while intoxicated. They showed the results, but avoided the obvious conclusions:

- This was not the first time that Tory drive drunk, and

- Clearly some people can safely drive with a level of intoxication to that is unsafe for others.

(To be clear, I’m not suggesting that driving drunk is safe or sensible on public roads, just bolstering what the parent said: the BAC level for impairment differs between individuals.)
Suddenly realizes why so many companies are moving to Texas.
> that this behaviour only happens when the other 3 parachutes are working fine

I'd love to see the causal relationship between both that makes it safe to land with 3 parachutes (I remember they added the 4th as an added precaution that reminds me of the O-ring issue)
I certainly don't buy that your car is freedom trope sold to our parents to buy the latest car back in the sixties. Most cars are dailies and only ever drive between home, work, store ad nauseum. So the rosy tinted idea that cars are freedom just means more traffic, complaining about fuel, complaining about tires, complaining about insurance, and the forgetful fact that humans are driving around a metal and plastic box with several dozen litres of flammable fuel at 100km/h - while listening to shitty breakfast show radio.

No thanks.

I'd rather we do away with the car is freedom trope. Most cars arent even useful, just signals to your nieghbours and friends that you are, in fact, balling. No thanks. Uber had the right idea. Don't own it, go where you want and pay up. Should be cheap when it's automated. Don't like that then take public transport...and if you can - just walk. What happened to just walking?

Right...you can't because our spaces are designed for car travel, not people. Do you see my point?
The glass 1/10th full side of this is that OEMs might figure out how to make the systems not suck and drive all those predatory breathalyzer companies out of business.
Agreed, low-code is the happy middle ground here. Code is the most concise way to express what you want to do with data, so tools should just embrace that instead of hiding it away.

We're running a low-code internal tool builder and everything is built / configured with code, but you never start from scratch, so it's 50x more productive then building your own.
I mean how do you want shells to deal with file names with spaces in? Do you think we should have to quote and escape all file names all the time? If not then how do you think it should work?

NASA seems to normalize deviance when they're under political pressure to do so. I'm not sure they can be entirely trusted when it comes to their own launch systems, because of the politics involved - but so far they haven't shown similar hesitancy with commercial launch systems. It's a good separation of concerns; when NASA is "just the customer" and it's not "their rocket" they are in a better position to hold a firm line on safety issues.

That NASA did not see the parachute as an issue speaks volumes. It looked bad visually, but having watched enough space launches and how mission control reacts to off-nominal data - clearly they were comfortable with the performance, because they didn't flinch at all. NASA just doesn't sign off on these commercial launches with NASA astronauts on board if they have any inkling that something won't go right - they aren't under the political pressure to "save the Shuttle program" or whatever.

I have more concern about NASA getting politically-imposed "go fever" with SLS.
The article maybe just hints at another issue that’s at least as important. Dictionaries are mostly descriptivist rather than prescriptivist.

Adding “deplatform” or whatever to the dictionary isn’t a statement about how proper it is as a word. It’s a statement that it’s a word in use, and so if you come across it, here’s what it means.

There is still much to be improved.

US crash safety tests only use dummies in the size and shape of adult males. Crash safety for women and children is not tested.

Safety for other road users: other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians, is also completely unconsidered in US testing, directly contributing to the trends of wall-frontend pickups and SUVs that are now often deliberately designed and advertised for their ability to cause harm.

I agree that presumably less CO2 is better than more.

I'm thinking that the specific CO2 concentrations matter if one wants to relate the readings to various research on human mental performance.

Maybe on the web. But I feel on the web they are often not even there to mask load times but are just used as powerpoint-transition-like-effect. And also to prevent the user from seeing page-jumps when the page first loads.

But as an anecdote of where a progress bar was more than just cosmetic:
Couple of years ago I attempted to upgrade to a new MacOS on my Macbook and the install ran into some error but gave no indication whatsoever. So the only info I had was that the progress bar hadn't moved at all in 5 hours. I waited another couple of hours before I switched it off and tried again. Without the progress bar I probably would've waited another day. I mean my macbook was still bricked but at least I could compare it to screenshots online of people getting stuck at the same point, allowing us all to blame Apple :)

That's quite a specific scenario but anytime it's difficult to debug what's actually happening, I wouldn't say progress bars are just cosmetic.

> When a crime is reported to the police they must believe what the victim is saying until they have a damn good reason not to.

> If they started with a presumption of the victim making a false allegation very few domestic abuse crimes would ever get investigated, let alone prosecuted.

I agree that these crimes must be investigated thoroughly. Is it really okay that men can be arrested based on allegations though? I don't think that should ever happen unless guilt is proven.

> Domestic abusers already claim they're being accused falsely.

I don't deny that. The guilty will lie to protect themselves, this is a fact. However, claiming false accusations does not imply guilt. It could be true. The possibility cannot be dismissed.

> If the police and public assumed they were telling the truth they would get away with it much more, and they already get away with it a lot.

Are you prepared to sacrifice innocents to make sure all these slippery abusers are punished? Stopping an abuser or making sure the innocent are not wrongfully punished, what's more important?

> That's the abuse that people should be much more concerned about.

Does the suffering of innocent men not matter? It certainly doesn't seem to bother the people I've talked to. I've always thought this was pretty interesting.
Heck, I'm still afraid to use caps!
> That seems weak but I guess the prosecution needs something.

From what I've read, the prosecution has been pretty weak. Their witness are often helping the defense at least as much as they're helping the prosecution, and the judge got angry with them the other day for likely deliberately going somewhere they weren't allowed to go.

What is old is new again. This has happened before. Graphical programming, low-code, no-code. They all inevitably hit a wall where it does not cut it. Either the performance is not good enough, they need to dip into real code to add features, etc. Then there are the issues like CICD and version control that they don't do well that hold them back, and then integrating with the rest of the company. Its just not worth it, its a dream sold to VPs and will die off in a few years and come back a decade after that.

I previously was supporting a company integration with Appian (building the AWS/Webservices integrating the two halves), which bills itself as a Low Code platform for Business Process Management. And their hello world example kind of worked fine for getting "a business person" to "write code". So the idea was they get these business people to write code instead of developers. But the problem with this platform was that we had to eventually get full time software developers (so no cost savings there, but also had the issue of these devs were now niche developers and not learning broader skill sets). Because their graphical development didn't cut it, so they had to drop down into their code proprietary DSL. Then the actual platform was a mess of no cicd, bad disaster recovery, bad monitoring, bad everything. It would have been cheaper and easier to literally just write a business process management from scratch in whatever language we wanted.

tl;dr No code, low code, graphical programming is a fad.

Also, the 1 failure was during a pre-flight static test fire. If it had been a crewed flight, the crew would not have boarded at that point. It's considered a failure because they test fired the rocked with the payload attached, resulting in its destruction. They have since stopped performing this test with the payload attached.

Pretty graphs, but I wonder how it stands up to the tests of the real world.

I've personally tried to use mind maps (a bit more general than solving technical problems) but gave up pretty quickly. I think part of the problem was the technology itself, mind map apps are mostly desktop only and the mobile experience navigating a 2D diagram is kind of clunky. The other part was just laziness, after building a mind map for an entire weekend I didn't even scratch the surface of what I wanted to achieve with it.

Also I take objection to the fact that we go straight to Google for solutions, I check the existing codebase I'm working on, code search in my company's internal repo, code search github, then go to Stackoverflow / docs. So there's some amount of intermediate caching.
