Because it would end up getting spent like the rest of the discretionary budget, so around $65M would go to the military, and $4M would go to science, of which about $80K would be allocated to AI research.
If you're giving away coastal properties, I'll take one.
Seems like clickbait title. I have seen this issue few times over the years and it was always a game of "Which encoding should I choose?"

Having an automated way to solve this seems pretty good to me. Especially if the solution works pretty much 100% of time (especially for non-ASCII languages, like Japanese or Chinese) - see paragraph Document-length Accuracy in https://hsivonen.fi/chardetng/
I'm particularly excited to have all the patterns from the slice tricks wiki page[0] shipped as a standalone package. (I'm not sure why the slices package doesn't include any of the good stuff...) Understanding those patterns requires internalizing the relationship between slices and arrays, which is important but too high of a bar for a simple, safe in-place filter.

You're welcome, if you want I can proofread the whole website, I noticed a few more typos as I was reading quite a lot there today.
I’m not convinced that making it easier to find the menu of cryptic encodings would help. I think users would more easily discover that chrome correctly detects the encoding so perhaps the issue is just that the auto-detector needs to be a little better. Indeed if users were just going to chrome that would not show up in telemetry and so a low number would still not mean the the menu needs to be more visible. But this is all speculation really.
That is the core problem with product management: Presumably every feature is useful to someone, somewhere, but you don't have infinite engineering resources to ship and maintain them all.

No one is suggesting the feature isn't ever useful. The issue is that they've reached a point where they have to choose what stays and what goes, and the least frequently used features are obviously at the top of the list for what to cut.

You can't make everyone happy in these scenarios, just as you can't deliver everything.
I thought that the Canadian Government sanctioned a number of Monero wallets as well? https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2022/02/16/canada-sanctions-...
> What do you mean it's off the rental market? The house doesn't dissapear.

I mean it's no longer available to renters. If it's no longer affordable to rent out, the alternative is to sell it off to someone who wants to live in it themselves. Of course the house itelf doesn't disappear, but the number of units in the rental market for that town now went down.

That's fine if those who were considering renting that unit are just as happy buying it as a homeowner. But I see many people saying they only want to rent, so for that audience, the rental supply went down.

> What is this weired attitude anyway, laws and markets change all the time and sometimes I have to eat a loss, are landlord some kind of divine nobility that never does?

I don't understand this comment. What I'm saying is that if the landlord find that renting out becomes unprofitable, they'll simply get out of that situation by selling it off.
>The author here points out that New Zealand's medical system doesn't always pay for CGMs, while the Australian system does.

Only for under 21s, and only recently. Once you hit 21, the rug is pulled out from under you.
You're implying that it's in some different category that can't replace the Saturn V but what is that? What can't the Starship do that the Saturn V could?
Whoaaa. If you look from the bottom up through the glass floor, it looks crazy awesome.

I think that's the most impressive little demo I've seen in ... quite some time. I can think of more impressive ones, but they're all extraordinarily complicated in comparison.

How'd you do the glass if there are no meshes? I'm about to pass out, else I'd dig in.

I'm especially curious how you're getting the refraction right. I forget my basic physics, but is it as simple as deflecting the ray slightly? But then how does it work on a curved surface? I guess it happens per pixel, so it shouldn't be too surprising, but... still, I was expecting a lot more aliasing than this: https://i.imgur.com/fdDVcCT.jpg

I guess I've never seen a real time raytracer that happened to trace through ripply glass, which is why it feels so neat.
yes, but also its that a lot of the data these days ends up in pseudo-append-only stores (like s3/glacier, or many data warehouse products) where deletes/updates to old data are extremely expensive. Or just having to scan petabytes of cold stored data looking for a particular users records.
Throwing away the key is instant and "free".
This works well until your team hits a certain size and suddenly you've got dozens of threads going on per day, and you're trying to somehow manage following threads, channels, and DMs.

I'm sick of Slack for this reason, and I think I'm going to start participating only as much as is required not to lose my job.
Absolutely. But if it's only needed on a small fraction of networks, it might still be worth doing in order to write code that can otherwise assume QUIC.
> 1. bigger and much more capable interplanetary probes

The limitation there is capable RTGs, not launch vehicles.

> 2. a much cheaper Webb telescope

Webb couldn't have fit into a Starship fairing either.

> 3. build a base on the moon

For whom? Launching stuff is one thing, but you'd need to design, build, maintain, and supply such station. If you think the ISS was expensive, a Moon base would dwarf the ISS costs. Even if launches would be cheaper, there's still a lot of logistics and support behind such station, which is one of the reasons no one did it yet.

> 4. make a mission to Mars possible

That could be done without Starship - as much as I think Zubrin has drifted into the nut job corner over the past decade, he still has a point: crewed Mars missions would've been possible since the 1980s.
I think it's pretty clear that whomever wrote the cookie consent law didn't know the first thing about cookies. Though I'm not completely discounting the possibility that ad companies are deliberately obtuse.

Why law makers decided people should be warned about the websites storing data client-side with users having full control over the content and who it gets shared with, is something I will never quite understand. Though I do recognise that some of the blame lies with most user-agents storing these cookies indefinitely and sharing them without question, by default, to this day.
Workplace Chat is like Slack and depending on the team, that can be where a lot of the discussion happens. For a couple of my teams I feel like it’s been the worst of both worlds. I still have emails, gotta check my WP posts, but also have discussion happening in chat all day long.
I don't read it unless linked a story, but I do remember it popping into the scene with long form in depth journalism and interviews I hadn't seen elsewhere, with a style similar to The Intercept. I guess all good things come to an end.
Houston has a lot of other land use restrictions. I should have been more specific. Even without zoning, you have rules like floor-area-ratio, parking minimums, setback requirements, etc.
Yeah, I have been looking forward to that for a while. I'm hoping that if their app isn't flexible enough to do menu-based dosing that it will be possible to side-load my own app to do that dosing.

As an aside, the OmniPod 5 was just released and already has App control[1]. The tubeless aspect of that is very attractive.

I know that engineers aren’t the most socially adept bunch, but it’s still weird how someone can go this long before having to realize that personal feedback needs to be delivered appropriately because people have emotions and aren’t just programs to be dissected like in a line by line code review.
Slack would become the best chat app for every company out there with just one simple feature (or the lack of it):

- remove the "user is online" green dot.

Really, it's not needed. Once it's removed then everything becomes async by default (and so everything slows down a little bit =>everyone is happier)
Not an expert, but off the top of my head:

- The end product of Deuterium + Tritium is regular, stable Helium, making waste disposal both safe, and cheap

- The input of the process, heavy water, while not safe, is way less dangerous than thorium or uranium

- The whole process is no way involved with nuclear weapons, making security concerns much less relevant

- Since the process produces magnetically charged plasma, steam turbines are not necessary, a solution of directly harvesting energy with electromagnets was proposed.

As I recall, the Soviet moon rocket failed because it had a cluster of engines that they could never get to work together. The Saturn V had a cluster of only 5, and barely were able to get that to work.

How did Musk solve this problem?
Your text is garbled:

"then you could even anity TACACS account "
Even the hardcore Tesla owners I know aren't happy about the yoke.

This feels like the automotive version of the designers forcing a backwards UI/UX change because it looks good in promotional photos and slide decks but makes the app worse to use for users.
Are you using Homebrew's `emacs-mac` (IIRC, the Homebrew packaging of "railwaycat Emacs", which you can also install directly)? It's holding up well on my M1.

Obviously, the other thing to say here is to share your emacs configuration, as is the tradition. But your call! :)
Pro-tip: press Alt and you get the menu back, at least on my Linux.
It's not at all obvious it can be done well, as the input methods are different, and the UI should match them.

At any rate, the video establishes how it is done poorly. Terrible GNOME UI, lots of empty space, functionality mostly hidden from the user, if not completely inaccessible.

Right, also if glowing is in fact detrimental to the fitness of these native fish it will not spread in the population, even if it gets introduced. That would be diametrically opposed to how evolution works.

> My god, I would give anything for a boss like that.

You probably wouldn't. A boss that won't give explicit approval for aspects of a project is going to throw you under the bus at the first opportunity. They're not going to take any responsibility if you miss a target. They will however take all the credit for your success.
Enough to get a million metric tons of cargo to Mars (the estimated minimum for viable long term settlement, as explained elsewhere in comments) on a reasonable timetable.

The most comparable scale they’re targeting for manufacturing Starships is jet airplanes. They’re supposed to be space busses, essentially. The way Musk sees them is, as “cattle, not pets”.
Or, maybe, hear me out here: deliberately posting a link to an issue to a widely-visited community with an inflammatory title, with the explicit intent of dogpiling the maintainer led to them locking the thread? You know, something like what HN itself does to prevent vote manipulation?
Right but that’s a matter of life or death. Let’s have some perspective. Another comparison is perhaps a small back road that no one ever drives down. How many years do you keep maintaining it before you close it off?
Of course, it is not about the fatality. It is an example to point out that a rarely used feature does not mean it is not important.

Another example is Google search remove the ability to perform exact text search such as "some phrase I found important to search". Maybe based on statistic, it was 20% of user using that, 80% of users does not rely on this feature. The logic is saying messing up 20% of user is not a problem. We are serving the 80% of users pretty great.

The current paradigm of UX design for providing "good default" to serve 80% of users and removing customization to screw 20% of advanced user makes me pretty helpless for using modern app. That's why I prefer cli nowadays for the flexibility of those software.
> dealing with character encoding and supporting the feature is painful (though the will still deal with it under the hood). Mozilla have limited resources and they (and Firefox users) want the browser to be successful and sustainable, and this means focusing resources on things that will make the browser easier to adopt and less confusing rather than chasing the short-lived gains from appeasing a small and stagnant pool of ‘power users’.

Dealing with character encodings is indeed painful, but they are not dropping support for all of these legacy encodings. If they did, I am sure it would simplify things a lot in terms of maintenance, but they are too widespread in existing content to do that. Firefox will still use a legacy encoding if it detects it. All they are doing is removing the ability to tell Firefox that a website uses a certain encoding. The idea that this option is a maintenance burden is kind of hard for me to believe.
unless this is the new normal.
Note that Larry Page's parents did more than just to code. They embedded him from birth in the academic system so that he was prepared, at Stanford, to recognize the importance of, and capitalize upon the organic value of web content. He was also exposed to the Grateful Dead, which probably helped build a healthy dose of capitalism and libertarianism.

Similarly, I was raised in an academic environment exposed early to computers (4th grade) in a gifted and talented program that many other students didn't have access to. That same program was literally "grad school prep in elementary school" which meant that when I got to grad school, it wasn't like I was in some sort of foreign country; I was home. And when I finally got to google, eveyrthing there felt normal and natural since it was just an extension of grad school, but with more money and better sysadmins.

That said, I guess if you don't get a leg up as a kid and go on to be successful through grit you can always appreciate that your hard work and determination paid off?
In general I would suggest starting with a design approach to the problem rather than an engineering one. Yes its frustrating, but maybe also some empathy would go a long way.

You have people who are tasked with
- finding someone to do a job they personally dont understand
- given requirements often by someone who doesnt understand the requirements and often not the best interview set-up
- dealing with candidates who have limited time or interest in interaction and more knowledge than the person tasked with finding them (information asymmetry)

who then are working on commission and sometimes against other recruiters.

Yes, I am similarly annoyed but I find this mindset ^^^ leads to better tools then "you ignorant person, I'm going to replace you with a robot"
There are no proliferation concerns with fusion. You can't make a nuclear bomb with a fusion reactor. They'll be largely free of the nuclear materials and technologies handling and export regulations. Quite a few international deals for fission plants over the years have been scuttled over concerns about misapplication of the reactors or fuel.
I've seen internal Facebook-alikes a couple places and they've been gross LinkedIn-tone places taken over by HR and managers doing rah-rah-let's-go-we're-so-great stuff and a few workers trying to kiss ass. What about Facebook's kept it from being that? Broader culture, or was there some enforcement of it?

(plus, and this is just a me-problem, I find them impossibly confusing because they ape Facebook's UI, which I find so hard to understand that my one attempt to use it for about a month c. 2010 was nothing but frustration and wondering how the hell normal people manage to use it)
Elon wants >1,000 Starships due to the Mars launch window, every 2 years. He wants to get a million+ tons of stuff there quickly. At 100T per Starship, and 1,000 starships, it would take at least 20 years to get 1M tons there.

Because there may be more emotion involved doesn't negate its intellectual value - that's a scapegoat reason, and people avoiding intellectual interests that have emotion involved is avoiding learning and opportunities to learn. That's arguably quite detrimental to society, and "hackers" avoiding it who have domain expertise with technology and maybe could provide a unique perspective or brainstorm uniquely is then likely reduced. Arguably political issues, policy and information propagation are the main problems we have in society these days.

> 1. bigger and much more capable interplanetary probes

One of the things I'd dearly love to see in lifetime is a return to the ice giants (ie Uranus and Neptune). We've only visited once and it was in the 1980s with the limited tech of Voyager 1 and 2. Think of what we could learn with a Cassini-level mission and Cassini itself is now ~14 years old.

But these missions take a long time to develop. We actually have a launch window coming up in the early to mid 2030s where we could feasibly reach the ice giants but the development period is so long and no proposals are at an advanced enough stage that we've likely missed it (which makes me sad).

> 2. a much cheaper Webb telescope

Would we make a cheaper version? Or would we take the opportunity to make an even bigger version? I suspect the latter. And JWST took 20 years to develop.

> 3. build a base on the moon

I actually believe we'll see a man on the Moon in the next 20 years. It could be much sooner but these are still government programs subject to change at any moment. I mean think where we could be if the SSC had been completed.

Apollo was driven by Cold War era competition. Our appetite for risk has changed. This means we may not see a Moon mission until rescue in the event of a catastrophe is actually possible. That will delay things.

> 4. make a mission to Mars possible

There's a thread about this from earlier today. IMHO a manned mission to Mars makes almost zero sense. Despite Musk's wildly infeasible and impractical predictions about Mars colonization, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see men on Mars before 2050.

All of the things you've listed here though aren't really commercial enterprises. Or at least they're far from it. They're flagship missions by governments because they're so wildly expensive. This creates some demand but is it sufficient to justify the program? I don't know.

I do suspect we need to find commercial enterprises to justify the Starship economics and I'm just not sure what that looks like yet.
The problem with this heuristic is that every nontrivial piece of software contains something obviously stupid.

Which sounds like a refutation of the validity of this inference altogether, but—no, take heart: It still works, because it turns out every organization has a broken system or process or larger organizational dysfunction.

So in a sense yes, this logic works, but you can save yourself some steps.
I doubt we taxed him anywhere near his fair share. That effective tax rates decline with wealth floors me. It also bothers me how cut throat capitalists grow into philanthropists as they become old and vulnerable. Years tax dodging, suppressing wages, lobbying, and engaging in veiled class warfare to gain every bit of wealth possible. And then they deign to give a fraction of what was owed the people (for roads, the internet, public safety, etc.) back in bits and spurts to be celebrated as generous. It makes me laugh.

At least your run-of-the-mill Scrooge has the decency to be consistent, to be hated.

While I say all that, I am also glad he's donating.
I like this change. If a website misconfigures encoding and users have an encoding override menu, the result is 99% of users see a broken website, 1% know how to fix it. The menu doesn’t meaningfully improve the situation, but it does keep the people who could improve it from caring. Take that away and I predict 10%+ of currently misconfigured websites will get fixed for 100% of visitors, and that’s a big improvement over 100% of websites being fixed for 1% of visitors.
Texas sucks just like almost everywhere else. Oregon's reforms we're pretty aggressive though. The entire Portland metro area is zoned to at least quadplexes in residential areas, and duplexes statewide. No SFH zoning allowed. California I think only made the minimum two units.
Mr. Margasahayam does not work on any mission I've been able to find. It sounds more like Business Insider being it's normal self trying to drum up false things about Musk businesses.
It's not even about likability, GNOME UI simply denies users access to functionality. Now, on a mobile, you typically don't have the time/attention/focus to actually scrutinize things much, and you need simple actions to be over-emphasized, so that kind of UI philosophy is tolerable (arguably beneficial); on the desktop it's the opposite.
It's as if there aren't multiple issues at play. There can be securities fraud, China level spying on your driving, terrible quality issues (the Model S), and all sorts of other negative things that contrast the good that is Tesla.

Spending 30k on a car is a huge financial decision and some people just can't afford to take that decision lightly no matter how much they believe in climate change.

For context I own a fair bit of Tesla stock and am a big fan. But I am hesitant to buy one myself, as much as I'd love to.
That's not true at all. Go core team always thought of adding generics in Go but Go core team couldn't reach a consensus on any proposed implementation and design for generics into Go, until this design.

If his signaling hypothesis is true, employers are reading the signal correctly.

Someone who doesn't finish high school, without a good reason, in our society which says finishing high school is important... simply failed to finish. They're more likely to fail to finish other things. The rational free market views that negatively.

If we lived in a society which expected people to get a 12-year hula-hooping certificate by the age of 18, you'd expect those with the certificate to be more employable. The employers in that world aren't irrational, the society is.
