That's just theft — plain and simple. The only half valid argument I've heard is to discourage carelessness leading to loss of the key and weakening of the building security. But that's moot in places where the garage gate is broken and left open half the year (my current place) or where people can casually wait for someone to walk in and tail gate them without anyone complaining.

By the way, I purchased a proxmark a long time ago to play with and to date, it has paid for itself many times over, by allowing me to carry my building keys the way I like to (cards vs bulky key fobs) by duplicating them where otherwise it would cost $100 or impossible.

Can't wait for keys on Apple Wallet to become mainstream.
Because if an asteroid destroys earth, your volcano base ain't gonna save life as we know it.

Because any such project is going to require herculean effort on the part of many humans, and many humans are interested in colonizing Mars but not so many are interested in colonizing volcanoes.

Your question is basically: why do people care about this thing I don't care about and instead care about this thing that neither I nor they care about.
Ask HN: Article aggregators that you enjoy?
I really like a "fire hose" of content, lots to look through, finding interesting things you wouldn't have thought to specifically look for. That's why HN is so popular, a lot of stimulating stuff everyday.

What websites that aggregate content do you enjoy and what are some good implementations you've seen?

I am interested in making my own.
As well as a open source software that streamlines the process of setting up a particular themed aggregate. Where the maintainer would just have to configure new sources and moderate comments essentiually. But this is just in the brainstorming stage ATM.

Also will be attempting automated classification of the data to organize it a bit better, while keeping hands off. Looking at stuff like openai.com for that.

If you want functioning, robust, maintainable software (or even better, software that doesn't require maintenance), then spend a long time modeling the problem domain. Build it as a system of types, a protocol, perhaps even a language (or at least an AST with semantics). Prove things about this model, particularly some useful things about soundness, consistency and (in)completeness. Learn all the funky symbols people use in the literature, learn about the strange tools you weren't told about in undergrad like dependent typing or higher-order contracts or CRDTs and lattices. Spend a lot of time doing this. Then, when you have determined the essential shape of the domain and nothing more, implement the software. At that point, the code almost writes itself.

I submit that if we did that, we would have excellent, elegant, simple software, but following the process would be incredibly hard. So hard, in fact, that it couldn't possibly be distilled into a conference talk.

Starship itself has ~1000 cubic meters of payload volume, and ISS has ~900 cubic meters of pressurized volume. It's not too much of a stretch to expect >500 cubic meters of pressurized volume in a crew-capable Starship, in which case two Starships would provide a broadly similar amount of pressurized volume in orbit.

If you want to summarise my point, it was that your analogy was poor. It doesn't make any sense to compare sending a resume in response to a job listing with adverts for products I have not requested information about being inserted inline into web pages.

One is a response to a request, while the other is unsolicited and usually explicitly undesired.

A better analogy to sending resumes in response to job ads would be a salesperson describing the features of a product I've gone into a store and explicitly asked for information about.

> Regarding companies creating a role, would that imply that ads as a response to a search would be acceptable?

Most of my searches are not for products, so it doesn't make sense for Google etc to shoehorn ads for products into the results. If I'm searching for a product, then yes I want to see some ads for those products.
My theory is that they aim to disrupt Earth travel (airlines). Elon pointed out that the reliability of Starship would exceed that of commercial airplanes, and the fuel costs are not that different than, say, a 747. Fewer moving parts than an airplane, less human costs, order of magnitude faster...
>you have no guarantee of ordering there either,

Here's your fundamental misunderstanding. You absolutely do have control of ordering. Unless you explicitly yield execution, you know you have full control of that thread and will never be pre-empted. That is a useful tool used all over UI dev and game dev.

People are subjecting themselves to voluntary surveillance and it's amazing to watch, Apple's promise to cooperate with "Law Enforcement" in most of the world was chilling.

I’m unsure there’s much to discuss in that specific regard? If you believe in cheap heavy lift and humans colonizing Mars, you agree this project has merit (and the costs and human effort involved reasonable). If you don’t, you see this project as superfluous and wasteful. Is that interpretation inaccurate? It’s somewhat, but not entirely, binary.

From the presentation, development costs will be 5-10% of the Saturn V program (2020 dollars adjusted). Thats a bargain for the capabilities delivered.

So just so I'm not misunderstanding: this changes the innerworkings of the "mixing" function that takes a number of raw entropy inputs and mixes them together, from an LFSR-based one to a hash-based one backed by blake2s.

But this doesn't change the chacha20-based CSPRNG that actually ends up being the output of /dev/urandom?

But am i correct in saying this entropy mixing eventually leads to some seed data that seeds the chacha20-based CSPRNG?

Women who earn more also are more popular, IME. We all are familiar with the 'provider' stereotype for males, but that could be an artefact of the fact that more males were providers. That is, the fact that it happened in the past doesn't mean it is somehow necessary or inevitable (like being a hunter-gatherer, which is most of our evolutionary past).

It would be interesting to see evidence that compares the affect of wealth/income on the popularity of males and females, and also to control for social conditioning, especially of older people. Remember that part of the claim (which I am dubious of) is that it has something to do with biology.

Starship is literally also slated for missions to the moon. If those go well someone probably will pay to build a moon base.

That being said, there are a number of reasons why Mars is preferable to the Moon if your goal is a totally self-sustaining colony.

The fact that average of D is sqrt(2) is the easy part. But average doesnt mean that random D values would concentrate in that spot. D may be evenly distributed. So the question is what's the variance of D? Using your formulas above:

D^2 = (1 - x1)^2 + (1 - x1^2) = 2 - 2x1

We know that x1 is 0 on average, but its distribution is restricted by the fact that we choose a random point on the n-sphere. So what's the probability of that random point falling into a thin stripe where abs(x1) < eps? And how does this probability behave for large n?

This eps-stripe is basically the (n-1)-sphere of width eps, so the stripe's area A(n)=eps•S(n-1), and so our probability p=eps•S(n-1)/S(n).

The "magical" property of n-spheres is that their area grows at first, reaches maximum in 7 dimensions and then falls off rapidly to zero. Using formulas from wikipedia, I get: p = eps•(n/4)^(n/2) for large n.

In other words, the distribution of x1 approaches the look of the delta function at the n^n pace and for all practical matters, D=sqrt(2) with high precision for n > 10.

Have you considered using LXD instead of docker?

LXD container instances are much better suited for portable dev environments. They are persistent by default and are intended to run multiple processes within a container instance. They can also be copied/migrated between lxd agents.

In contrast, docker was created to run a single ephemeral process per container. It's nice in production environments, but its also a huge pain for some tasks. That's why were seeing folks create things like docker s6-overlay.
“When you bet on a winner, diversifying is likely to be a case of you selling the winner to buy the loser.”

Well yeah, that assumes you know the winner. The point of diversifying is that you don’t know the winner. So, it’s better to make a few guess with a chance of making up losses than likely backing a total loser.

Do hardware stores charge more than a few dollars per key in your area?

A replacement key for my wife's car costs $1,200. And it's not even a newer, or expensive car.

It's been a long time since you could get many car keys done at a hardware store.

And it's not even the electronics anymore. One locksmith I called said it's about the fancy engraving. They can't afford the tools to do that kind of work, and they just refer people to the dealer and to suck up the $1,200.

You can make some progress by thinking of the imaginary numbers as being a two dimensional vector space over the reals, equipped with a very peculiar multiplication operator that is a combination of the usual stretch with a rotation.

Addition is the usual addition of components, but the multiplication (using polar coordinates) looks like

C = ABexp(T1+T2),

where the T are the phases of A and B.

To multiply two positive reals, since their phases are zero, it’s only a stretch: AB

To multiply two negative reals, since their phases are pi, it’s ABexp(pi+pi). But exp(2pi) is unity, so we have AB again, a positive number.

To find the square root of a positive number D, find a positive real (zero phase) that, when multiplied by itself, gives D. AA, for example.

So, real number arithmetic is a subset of complex number arithmetic, with zero phase. And therefore zero rotation.

Now, find the square root of a negative number, say -4. To do this, we have to step off the real axis for the first time: out into the Argand plane!

-4 is represented as

4exp(pi)

OK?

So we are looking for a number out here on the Argand plane that when multiplied by itself following our rule gives 4exp(pi).

And that number is

2exp(pi/2),

which is two units out on the “imaginary” axis of our Argand plane.

2exp(pi/2)2exp(pi/2)

equals 4exp(pi/2+pi/2)

equals 4exp(pi)

QED
It seems plausible to me that the crime we want to deter (shoving a sharpened piece of steel into someone) isn't easily or effectively prevented by adding carrying such a piece of steel to the list of crimes.

They're in every kitchen, how are we to prevent them from being carried out of the nearest one? Ask yourself!

The list of good reasons to carry a pocketknife which are aren't shanking someone is unenumerable and lengthy. It's an absurdity and I despair when I have to see Brits pretend to the logic of it out of some misplaced solidarity. Kudos for the NHS but the knife loisense fills me with pity for what a once mighty nation has become.
You can say this for ANY language. Literally any language that can assign a function to be part of some struct could be "OO"... which is basically any language including C.

So given the pervading reality, colloquially when we say the term "Object Oriented Language," we are not referring lisp or C or haskell even though all of those language are technically OO.

The same can be said for Rust. Rust is NOT OO.
