> The end-product of NASA is a large, trained aerospace workforce.

You would get a larger better workforce if you actually developed new things, not put together 50 year old parts.

> less modified options still based on shuttle technology

Everything based about anything Shuttle is basically a horrible idea. Shuttle is what has dragged down NASA for 50 years now.

Literally non of those solutions would ever be even close to be cost efficient.

> with SLS they had the opportunity to research and develop new materials and techniques that may be employed elsewhere, much like previous programs had vast spin-off industries.

What are you talking about? SLS is maybe the list innovative large rocket ever made. The engines are literally Shuttle engines. The Upper stage is literally a Delta IV Upper Stage with an adapter on it.

The boosters are mostly the same as Shuttle booster with one more element (that mostly seems to have been added so they can give that contractor a couple 100 million in development money.

The core stage is based on the Shuttle external tank and outside of a some welding technology its not innovative at all.

The whole SLS program was LITERALLY designed to be the least innovative possible program. That's what is his whole justification was that it would be minimal development.

NASA own evaluation pointed out that they would end up much more cost effective by doing some development but congress killed that:

> All this investment should be able to make American aerospace companies more competitive in the global market.

Funny then that US had literally 0% of the global commercial launch market. Seems like they achieved the exact opposite, make companies that are depended on government contract that were mostly good at maintaining legacy systems.

A lot of the best sat companies were from places like Canada and Britain. The companies that made the most money from NASA are exactly those that are not that competitive.

> Is SLS a better rocket than Starship/Superheavy? Probably not, but, again, that's not their goal.

The goal was to pay the same old contractors, in pure pork program.

You don't have to be close to Starship to make a rocket far better then SLS. SLS spend 20 billion and they didn't even reach the 130t to LEO rocket that congress demanded.

The SLS that will finally launch in 2022 is like 70-90t to LEO rocket and to get to the actual design goal it will require another 10 billion or so.

Not being critical of it with the defense 'it was designed to be pork' makes no sense.

I was responding to the original OP who mentioned Intel only.

I doubt it'll remain that stable. The mobile OSes have already embraced a number of platforms, not even all ARM based. Android seems to be quite flexible regarding architectures with its pre-compilation. I think this is a sign of what's to come.

RISC-V is also an upcoming player and if it's successful it may spawn more fully open contenders. As we move to more AI integration there's a whole new lifecycle opening up too in terms of ML coprocessors. We're in the same situation as early computers with multiple vendor-specific solutions.

I think on the security side there'll also be more hardware signature checking rather than the chain-based checks of Secure Boot. Rather than the OS checking if a program is legit, the CPU could do it (already done on some custom like consoles)

So I don't think computing is really mature at all. It just has had a stable phase for a while.

Why do employees at big tech names (FAANG et al.) are so often so cautious as to include this as a foreword everywhere? Twitter bios are full of that, for instance.

It is crazy to me; who would expect anything else that our opinions being your own and nothing more? Who would expect that your word (with all due respect) is worth anything with regards to the company's PR?

Is there an actual risk in the US? Have there been trials or anything that push people to add such statements?

Even if it does work for you, I think it should obvious that most people can't use their laptops/desktops like this and anyone who sings praises for a laptop like Framework should mention the flaws as well.

It is indeed true that in all of my examples, someone's paid to print something. Printing is part of the cost.

In the case of Wikipedia, people sit in offices and print letters, for example its lawyers who respond every time someone sues the foundation. I don't believe that printing letters to the courts forms a major part of fighting those lawsuits, though. Britannica itself hasn't been published on paper for almost ten years now, but even when it was, printing was a small part of the cost. The editors cost much more. The school paid for the school books and the teachers, and again, the actual printing of the school books is a minor part. The teacher's salary is much, much more, and even the school book publisher's authors and editors are paid more than the printers.

Focusing on some minor cost and insisting that it's unreasonable, and therefore the whole is unreasonable, is stupid.

I'm not sure if this is right, but the Dutch standards body seems to have this document available [0] for free with part of it available for evaluation [1] and it seems like it's the real deal. Most other parts of the standard a shit ton of money (>€200 per part, with over 12 paid parts), but some others [2] are free as well. There are also outdated versions of the document available for free or cheap if those suit your needs, but I'm sure you can find cheaper alternatives for that as well.

I don't know if there are any requirements for access (like an address in the Netherlands, or Dutch citizenship) but it seems like you can just grab the standard from here completely legally.

It's not nonsense. From the point of view of the standards body (which the comment was talking about) the work is free. The standards body doesn't pay anyone for the production of the standard.

Yes, the writer is typically employed by a relevant company. They're not working for free. But the body from which you must buy the standard is getting it for free.

This is exactly the same problem academia is facing. The big journal companies charge huge amounts for access to journals, but don't pay for their production. That's funded by universities.

In both cases, the bodies collating these documents are rent seekers making far more money than their services are worth.

No, its not. Well, unless you mean the universal assumptions of empirical science, that the universe is deterministic and operates by consistent laws.

It's true that there are some concepts (like the rational actor concept) that are influential in framing economic models, but these are generally recognized as, at best, simplifications, and there are approaches within economics that have done away with any one of them, and even within those that haven't an important area of work for decades has been identifying and quantifying the areas where those common bases are materially wrong and the impacts of the deviations from them.

> N+1 issues aren't nearly as devastating as N^2.

Depends on the project, i guess: if you're unlucky enough to be working on a monolith and suddenly a page takes 5'000 SQL queries to load as opposed to 100, because someone thought that initializing data through service/DB calls in a loop is "easier" than writing views in the DB, it might still kill the entire system anyways, depending on the count of users.

And once this data initialization is sufficiently complicated and convoluted for you not to be able to rewrite it and them not wanting to rewrite it, all while "the business" is breathing down on your neck, you might either want to introduce caching (and possibly run into cache invalidation problems down the road), or just freshen up your CV.

I guess i'd also like to expand on the previous suggestion and advise others to consider performance/load testing as well, especially when coupled with APM solutions like Skywalking or even Matomo analytics, both of which can allow you to aggregate the historical page load times, CPM and overall performance of your applications, to figure out what went wrong when.

Nope, but every single engineer who knew about this ( i doubt everyone was fully aware of this, it's very complex hardware and probably few engineers know everything about everything) and let it happen is a total piece of shit who deserves at least a couple of months in jail. How do these bastards sleep at night knowing they let a terribly poor aircraft design out of the door and that cost people their lives? And why, just so that someone higher level than them can get a higher bonus for delivering the plane faster?

Note: for me MCAS isn't a problem per se. It would have been better to have a new design from scratch, but that's a whole other issue. Lying about it(chances of failure, risk when it fails), hiding it, and to top it off using a single sensor that is known for occasional failure. And making it near impossible to override even when the pilots knew about it ( which they didn't, thanks to Boeing hiding it from them). That's criminal negligence by tens if not hundreds of people every step along the way. Every single one of them should be tried and have to explain why their manager's or their bonus matters more than human lives.

Why is it logical? There’s tons of changes being deployed at all times, at all large companies.
