My boss used to keep saying "move fast and break things!" Then a new guy seriously messed up and almost lost us a valuable client. The boss demanded an explanation. I said the new guy moved fast and broke things.

He actually wrote that in the explanation to the client. I haven't heard that phrase from him since.

2. Many companies that help build those rockets have ceased to exists

3. Technology and tooling have changed substantially

4. Standards to deem a rocket flight worthy for human space flight have changed
> Censorship is obviously a tech topic.

Censorship is not a tech topic, it's a political topic that sometime intersects with tech. And many stories about censorship fit exactly the description of off-topic stories.

> Just yesterday there was the lengthy discussion of the atomic bomb & WW II, which is arguably less relevant than censorship.

We could debate the merits of the specific articles but (1) that, not the merits of the broad subject matter (“censorship” and “the use of the atomic bomb in WWII”) is what is relevant, and (2) even if the particular article excluded today were agreed to be “less relevant” than one not excluded yesterday, that wouldn't make the flags on the other one necessarily abusive.
I first had the pleasure of using Teams in 2016 or 2017, I forget exactly when, and at the time they didn’t have accessibility features. None. You couldn’t even increase the text size in the app. It was nigh unusable then. I left for a different job and within a year, Teams again reared its ugly head. I’ve thankfully moved on from that job too.

Whatever cost savings Teams affords, the difference is more than lost in confusion, miscommunication, and frustration across the workplace.

May I never have to use it again.

Interestingly, my team now uses Discord for communication and we really love it.
My doctor had to fight to get me one. I workout and was highly insulin sensitive (she made me workout less and gain some weight by doing less cardio - drives me nuts, I liked running). The insurance companies didn't want to fork over for the upfront cost, even though I had been to the hospital several times for low blood sugars. This included a stroke caused by a severe low blood sugar (yes, I lived alone at the time, pre CGM. Coworkers called a friend who had a key).

Granted this was 4 years ago, so I'm unsure how things have changed. The CGM is a game changer. I wish I had had it earlier. Would have kept me (hopefully) from a lot of issues and putting my friends and family through unnecessary pain.
Fair enough, as long as those nearby devices have very precisely known locations in some database.

But there's also the factor of battery usage, I'd like to be able to allow bluetooth but deny GPS hardware access for those occasional apps that like to trigger the GPS constantly for no good reason.

Not exactly related, but this reminds me of this triple nuclear plant project that ran into trouble by the time they're on their third, because it took so long, people with the requisite knowledge was gone and the remaining people had no idea how to fill the gap.

The design is based directly on the design of several (what we now call) 'Web 2.0' sites so the idea it's a sop to the retro-hipster sensibilities of 90's-longing users itself feels like a bit of an overwrought personal indulgence.

Teams at least is slightly better than Skype For Business, which would hijack copy paste to put the sender's name and for some reason insert zero-width characters between every space.
"dirt cheap Starship" kinda reminds me of a backwoods project where all that was needed to achieve spaceflight and warp drive was a drunk James Cromwell and a few wise-cracking Starfleet officers who traveled back in time...
Yeah, under ordinary circumstances your boiler or whatever should not contribute enough CO to cause problems. It's when something weird happens that you have to worry (usually). Like if the jet is clogged or something else happens that can cause incomplete combustion. Incomplete combustion is your enemy when it comes to CO[1].

One of the recommendations I read on some github issues was to put the z-stick on a USB extension cable to rule out interference from other ports. I was skeptical of this but it did seem to improve my experience.

I still get the issue that makes it need to reboot every now and then however. Edit: https://github.com/zwave-js/node-zwave-js/issues/3906 -- apparently there is a firmware fix for this now? Will try out later.
the ironic thing with Teams is that the one thing on the label - managing teams- is AWFUL. I'm sure company culture comes into this, but for an app that sells itself on the idea that it makes little teams for people to join, it's awful at letting you manage the teams. i'm a member of like 80 some odd teams and maybe 3 of them give updates. All the rest are silent.

it's a disaster. it's fine for voice/video calls, but it's slow and not fun to use in the app on my dev machine (i7/32GB RAM)
We could also have that, or at least level off, if we got a handle on illegal immigration.

Is the RC any better than the beta when it comes to having `~/sdk` hardcoded as the location for Go's files?
There is an upper limit to scaling. Bigger engines do not mean more power / weight. Bigger is also harder to build and maintain. SpaceX is finding the sweet spot.
This article talks about a pretty full-featured ray tracer. If you just want to play around with some ideas and have fun, you can make different tradeoffs and still get very nice and fast renderings. Here's a ray tracer that I made that's GPU-accelerated and can make some nice looking images quickly in 1000 lines of code. https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4ddcRn The tradeoff is that it's all procedural graphics. So there are no triangle meshes and it would also be a bit tricky to implement a bidirectional ray tracer like this.
Yeah, I don't trust and wouldn't use RT at all for any purpose, but appears they just posted a legitimate video that just happens to fit their agenda. Here's the same thing from CSPAN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DTSSvtg19I.
I strongly suspect Microsoft has trouble getting decent developers to work on Office. There is no other explanation for why their new stuff is such a regression from the old stuff. New Outlook, for example, is a joke. It's a facelift of Oulook for Mac and Windows, but for some reason doesn't have tasks, which Outlook has had forever. Instead it opens up the web version of MS Todo. New OneNote has been out for years and again has a fraction of the features of Outlook 2016.

Only if force were strictly physical violence and not the threat of it could what you say be true. It's not.
That's because currently it's impossible to ensure that rustc won't short-circuit a function if it sees an opportunity to do so, which means it's impossible to write constant-time functions which is a necessity for any kind of production ready crypto code.
That blogger is a smart fellow. Thank you for posting.
That's yet another weird combination isn't it: teams, Skype, Skype for business, 3 calling products from the same company and still not compatible?

You can probably guess the expensive way that became ritual.
I don't think they have even attempted to build a large engine. But SpaceX is setup like an assembly line rather than some bespoke engine maker. A larger engine would require larger tooling, 3d printers, etc. Also with 30+ engines its less of an investment if one goes bad, just swap it out.

They always have the option of designing another larger engine later.
Pretending the threat of violence is not violence is not civil.
"Legal" is a strong word for it. It's possible because there is a law that lets the government suspend due process when there is a war or something. And they've chosen to frame the protest as something dire enough to invoke that law. So who's going to stop them?

This is exactly the kind of thing that people were worrying about Trump doing in 2016: breaking societal norms and acting like a strongman, and getting away with it because the legal framework assumed leaders would all act like gentlemen. It's what you hear about people like Orban and Poland's leader doing, ignoring convention to push their own agenda. And now it is happening in Canada
No. There are other good reasons to use lots of small engines. Redundancy. Ability to throttle down (very important for Starship). You can use the same engines on both stages. Easier to gimbal.
Surely you're not extrapolating globally data that is occurring locally to you and thinking things are hunky dory.

> I think it's also affected by any ad blockers used by iOS Safari such as AdGuard, so there's very little disadvantage.

It’s definitely not affected by AdGuard (as a content blocker) it’s only affected by AdGuard as a dns Adblocker, and if you see no difference between content blocker and a dns blocker I envy you and you have a way higher tolerance for web bullshit than I do.

The CuriousMarc YouTube channel [1] features a current series where they work on some Saturn transmission equipment (Apollo Comms). They also also restored an AGC (Apollo Guidance Computer). Those were incredible designs for the time, but you wouldn't build (and probably couldn't even if you tried) these modules this way today.

I'd say the loss is more one of history than actual utility. The only way would have been to keep the Saturn V going during the whole time, and upgrade its technology as time went.

The company I work for does it this way: you sign up without a CC, and you get access to an environment that has all the features, but you're not allowed to use it in prod, and it shows a "you're using this product in test mode" banner on the widget. Maybe that's something you could consider.
It sure has happened in the U.S. and Canada, and in large scale. To say otherwise is to be terribly misinformed or blatant gaslighting.
Many smaller engines is cheaper than one big one as you can streamline manufacturing. Also large engines develop combustion instability much easier. They're also harder to cool because of the square-cube law (more heat, less surface area).

It also gives you engine out capability and also the ability to effectively throttle the rocket in a much more fine grained way by shutting off engines.
I know a naughty person who decades ago hijacked a /8 IPV4 network block when the company that owned it went out of business, by registering their expired domain name and sending in an email from that domain, transferring ownership of the block to himself.

It was "hot" so he couldn't just squat on it or sell it in the open, but he laundered it by trading it to some shady company in exchange for free network services for life.

If I were him, I would have printed out all the addresses on little slips of paper and taken an "IPV4 Address Bath" like Huell's scene in Breaking Bad:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HrmD_vIMIk

>(sexy lip bite) ... "I gotta do it, man!" ... "Mexico, all's I'm sayin'!"
Which is essentially what is already happening. There was a minor uproar, that seems to have died out, on the RIPE address policy working group listserv over companies and individuals signing up for multiple RIPE accounts (called LIRs) to be able to get multiple /24 allocations from the waiting list. People register multiple LIRs primarily because the cost of signing up for a RIPE account--prior to 2022, it was a 2,000EUR sign-up fee and then a prorated portion of 1,400EUR annual fee, now it is a 1,000EUR sign-up fee and 1,400EUR annual--and waiting out the two years for IPv4 addresses to be eligible for transfer is a fraction of the price a /24 can fetch on the address resale market.

Several people on the list, including someone who has made quite the sum from collecting allocations and then reselling them, were outraged that this is going on and deem it in violation of the spirit of the waiting list (that spirit being that it is supposed to give small entrants one last method of getting onto the Internet with their own /24). One of the proposed changes is to make transfers of IPv4 space received via the waiting list non-transferable retroactive to January 2021. Of course, transfers that have already happened wouldn't be reversed, since that wouldn't "be fair." Thus, all of the people who got the last "free" /22 blocks around November 2019 and who have gone on to resell those addresses (like the participant on the list who is now advocating that addresses shouldn't be allowed to be transferred) when the 24-month transfer delay expired get to keep their gains. Everyone who comes after who signed up under those rules gets the rules changed out from underneath them.

The whole system of dealing with IPv4 assignments and allocations has gotten completely out of hand. We have these large entities all acting like they are just volunteers doing a charitable thing keeping this polite ad-hoc system going, when that hasn't been true for at least a decade.
The only solace I take from using Teams is that it's not Skype for Business.
In order to make a vehicle like that, you need the tools to make it. That doesn't just include wrenches and hammers - it includes the tooling used to form the curve of the skin and the area you assemble the pieces into. Almost all of that is gone, disassembled or misplaced.

Linus point has a slightly different nuance: adblocking is theft. Similarly to how Taylor Swift was against Spotify because (IIRC) people should buy albums.

My version was that adblocking damages revenue in very quantifiable ways* and you can work around that.

* I am almost sure that YouTube's recommendation algorithm does not counts watched ads as a metric, that is maybe watching ads increases the total watch-time of the video but otherwise an ad-full view is counted the same as a ad-free view. But this belief is not based on anything.

If this happened to be wrong then an adblocker could exponentially hurt a channel growth and that might equal quite a few water bottles.

Not just me, all ~8 of us using it. Mac and Windows both. Every single session (2-3 hours, usually) at least one person's client simply crashes. [EDIT] more typically, it's like one crash every 30-45 minutes, but I don't think we've ever made it through without at least one crash.

[EDIT AGAIN] I'd guesstimate its person-hour-of-use crash rate at at least 20x that of Slack, from what I've seen. Maybe quite a bit higher.
completely un-usable on linux as well, i had to keep the "native" electron app as well as a browser window open at the same time to be able to actually use the software

since i'm required to use it on my day-to-day, and use zoom for personal stuff, which is also super broken on linux, i'm back to Win11 now with 100% of dev work in WSL. I guess their strategy is working.
Super snappy for me (with countless of crowded servers constantly bombarding messages).
The design is now thoroughly outdated. It wouldn't be cost-effective to reproduce a Saturn V as-is.

The equivalent rocket is the Starship, which clearly can be built.

Technologies like 3D printing, new alloys, better fuels, modern computers, etc... have made dramatic differences to the design and construction of these rockets.

Have a look at the circuitry used on the Saturn V: http://www.righto.com/2020/04/a-circuit-board-from-saturn-v-...

Especially the "instrument unit": http://static.righto.com/images/lvda/IU-labeled.jpg

It's huuuuuuge! The computer power of that entire thing could fit into a single chip these days. Trying to reproduce something like that 1:1 in the modern age would be just absurd.

Note that the Saturn V design isn't just cost-inefficient because technology has moved on. It wasn't cost effective back then either! The per-launch costs were over $1B in inflation adjusted dollars, putting it squarely into the same ballpark has the SLS, which is a monstrously expensive pork-barrel project designed primarily to burn money, not rocket fuel.
I'm surprised to see just about all comments here agreeing with you. I was sure there would be a whole bunch of people saying that Teams is fine for their use, but I guess I'm in a minority as I actually don't mind using Teams and performance is fine. For reference, I just exited Teams and re-opened it and it took 13 seconds to open, log me in, and update my status. I do have an i7 CPU and 16GB RAM, but I wouldn't describe my laptop as performant - it's just a small and light ultrabook.
I want to know what the absolute cheapest way of doing this is, without having a lot of CapEx. I thought of renting dedicated storage servers (e.g. Hetzner) and slapping Ceph on them.

Do you have another, better, idea?

Your decision here is based on balancing security and convenience. It's a tradeoff that you have to decide on based on your situation.

Most average users are willing to trade the upside of the SaaS apps (sync is easy and pretty secure) for the downside (have to trust a third party like 1Password, that they won't send you a malicious client that slurps your master password).

We're technical, so we can use Password Store[0] and avoid the downside of the SaaS programs (have to trust a third party) while still having sync. If you're pissing off entities who might conceivably blackmail or hack 1Password, Password Store is the bare minimum.

[0] I'm not addressing that Password Store doesn't encrypt the sites it has logins for, just the fact that it doesn't require entering your master password in a web page.
I pay 35% actual rate between California and Federal taxes. IF I were self employed OSADI tax would add another 6.2%.

Federal actual rate 16.5% (24% marginal)

CA State actual rate 6.4% (9.3% marginal)

Medicare rate 2.9%

OSDI rate 12.4 %

CA SDI rate 1.0%

= 39% right there

Remember folks Elon has a way of, er, overstating. He promised that SpaceX launches cost what, 1% of current launches? So far, they're more expensive than the Space Shuttle it replaced in NASA contracts. Their own numbers say that in the fullness of time they may be 10% cheaper. So far, not so.

Space exploration is great, we should do it, and this rocket sounds cool. We should do it even if it is expensive.

But "dirt cheap" is probably an Elon-ism, closer to "full self driving by 2018."

When I was a strategy consultant there were only two important lessons to learn:

1. Be a manager. You are not there to be their friend. You are there because they are horrible and their leadership needs you to clean up the trash. If you are not there as some form of management with a title and ownership you will quickly become their bitch, which leads to my second learning.

2. Don't get sidelined. As an outsider operating under contract the problem people want you gone but cannot remove you. Their best weapon is to sideline you. If they cannot own you they will ignore you. They will rearrange their meeting schedules and ensure you are not invited. They will create and release prototypes and delivery plans without your involvement. They will write reports and opinions to their management with all kinds of complaints and fictions and you have nothing because you are out of the game.
