There is a long history of sails, but even modern sails can go quite a bit faster than their ancient counterparts:

The necessary developments in math and physics are not to be underestimated. I'm not disputing whether you could eventually do it without coal, I'm attacking the supposition that medieval-to-earlier civilizations (the Song Dynasty, the Abbasid Caliphate, the Roman Empire, etc) could have industrialized if they had only realized one or two key things. There's a whole framework of understanding that had to be established: calculus, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, et cetera; the Europeans had the benefit of importing knowledge from all over Eurasia, from paper (China, imported via Middle East ca. 1200s) to positional numerals (India), to algebra (al-Khwarizmi, born near Uzbekistan, worked in Baghdad). Leonardo Bonacci's schooling in Algeria was transformative for Italian mathematics. Et cetera.

A single wind turbine will only pump water at a measly rate up a large incline. In order to gather enough wind turbines' output to achieve useful energy storage, you need a means of transmission; the electric dynamo dates to 1831, while the electrostatic generator was developed around 1663, but could not operate while transmitting power. Pneumatics require, again, high precision. This stuff only seems easy now because we have so much understanding of the physical world that was unimaginable when Constantinople and Tenochtitlan were conquered. A modern train car can be pushed by hand; a sailing train car with the steel and lubricants available to da Vinci or Ben Sheng would hardly budge without a gale. Coal is so, so easy by comparison.
> I didn't ask people to add a dog warning label to each food that contains garlic.

Dogs can eat garlic. You'd have to be feeding them multiple powdered garlic packets to cause harm, if its even possible.

So you've failed at risk management. This is why we have to have these dumbed down labels.
I don't find any of the reasons all that compelling other than training astronauts.

Though the recent discovery that some pits on the Moon have constant and stable 63° temperatures is sort of mind-blowing. If permanent habitats could be constructed there, then I see a profitable incentive to do so: $500M weekends for the uber rich. There are 2755 billionaires. If they all take a Moon vacation, that'd generate $1.3775 Quadrillion. Makes those $3B rockets sound cheap.
This is the same thing as economic sanctions - it targets indiscriminately and it targets the wrong use case, but proponents will say it encourages people to press against the real problem and demand change.

Just like, say, random Cuban citizens do nothing to meaningfully harm the US, random houses in urban California aren't where water waste is worst. The real problem is agriculture and water rights that disappear if unused, encouraging farmers to pour water in a ditch so they don't lose their rights.

If you believe broad based economic sanctions work, you should believe this works under the same principles - the citizens will be so annoyed they have to deal with this they'll get the government to change.

If you don't believe this will work, then one must assume you believe broad sanctions wouldn't work either.
I admit I hadn't thought this is YC's name origin. I didn't research it, just thought maybe "Y" is actually supposed to be "why" and "combinator" had to do something with _combining synergies_ or something. You know, something cryptic that sv people think is cool.

This, on the other hand, is pretty clever with the recursion reference. Sometimes I forget that YC was a wild idea at its time too, aiming to realize other wild ideas. Thanks for sharing.

I sincerely hope this will be the first and last launch of the SLS. If the launch somehow fails spectacularly, all the better.

I'm not even saying that as some sort of retarded Starship fanboi, we absolutely lack a heavy lift + man-rated launch vehicle and we need a replacement/successor to Apollo and the Space Shuttle ASAP. I don't care if it comes from NASA, SpaceX, Boeing, or Bill Gate's dog's cousin twice removed.

But the SLS is not that replacement nor successor. It brings no technological advancements to the table, it quite literally throws away reusable rocket engines (Space Shuttle Main Engines) in perfect working condition, it costs far too much fucking money per launch, and most importantly it's a rocket to nowhere because NASA's goals change with the coming of every Congressional and Presidential party switch.

The only purposes the SLS serve are to keep prior infrastructure related to the Space Shuttle in operation, and by consequence and most importantly feed votes to Congressmen. As regards human space exploration, the SLS is an abhorrent waste of time, resources, and money that can't end soon enough.

At the fundamental level, any regulation is a disruption to the free market.
I think people can both understand the motives of the companies and even choose to do the same themselves, but still be disappointed in the state of society where this is required.

I agree with you that this probably is required while the tech is new and then eventually won't be when everyone and their dog can run these things locally on their phone.
I'm not sure in the digital world what the difference is. I would think of Akamai or Comcast as a distributor, maybe.

The corporation's minimum burden is to follow the law and abide by court orders.

That doesn't mean a corporation should be exempt from criticism when it does the wrong thing despite fulfilling that minimum burden. Laws are inadequate, and have loopholes.

Example: A corporation could literally make it its mission to funnel all profits into buying dirty coal and burning it for no reason whatsoever. There's nothing illegal about this in many countries.

"They should immediately act on takedown notices, for example in the case of revenge porn, but are not a private replacement for law enforcement."

They don't immediately act on such notices. That's part of the problem. They've pushed their customer service division onto the taxpayers of rich countries. And they've outright screwed the people on poor countries (Myanmar?) that have no recourse.
Exactly. USB devices do this (seem to identify the device by (port, uuid?)) and it's highly annoying having to rearrange everything so the USB-to-serial adapter can reach the correct USB port so I can keep calling it COM5 and not have to switch everything over to COM1 or COM13 or whatever.

It also causes weirdness like "my scrollwheel scrolls in one direction when plugged into my laptop and the other direction if I plug it into the USB hub in my keyboard."
I see a bunch of probably unsuccessful knock offs.

I don’t see any out there that indicates they beat the original idea to the market by way of breached NDA or non-compete.
Rather than for scrapers I suspect this is for booking aggregators.

Wizz and other low cost airlines try and avoid these aggregators as they charge huge commissions and can keep them by threatening to take away a chunk of bookings, Wizz even mentions this on page 4 of their annual report.

This is probably to prevent any of these aggregators building a manual integration to enable booking, then hitting them up later for a commission once they have captured a share of bookings (similar to the strategies Postmates etc took at the start).
The largest agricultural crop in the US by acre is lawn. It's not just the lawns, it's the sod fields, it's the grass seed fields, it's all the support those things need.

Lawns are incredibly wasteful, much much moreso than pools or other uses. Yes, urban water use is small compared to agricultural use, but lawns in the desert really are inexcusable.
The value is having an alternative closer to C and farther away from the garbage lang that C++ has become.

No one is expecting you to rewrite your entire project in Odin but those that are starting new projects have a high value choice with Odin and others.
This is the kind of nerdy stuff I could read about all day.
If you work for a company so small that it's possible to have that transparency, the assumption that your job is safe should never have entered your mind. Startups that small are always a risk. Anyone joining a company like that must know that going in. Making sure people are aware of that risk is part of full transparency.
They are partially responsible. They are not liable because the law doesn't currently enforce that responsibility. Law != moral responsibility.
It really depends on where you are. About 90% of the ghost kitchens in my city are independently owned because about 95% of the restaurants that offer delivery are independently owned. Also, I've yet to see an actual unbranded corporate pop-up, let alone one that offered delivery. Maybe you mean an alternate menu produced in a corporate restaurant operating under a different brand?
It's worth mentioning the "single-use engine" you refer to is, in fact, the Space Shuttle Main Engine. Yes, those reusable engines used on the Space Shuttle.

NYC is the biggest and densest city in the US, so it has unique challenges. For example, what are the cops supposed to do to heroin addicts? Jail them repeatedly, send them elsewhere, or what, give the death penalty? Wherever you live isn't like NYC except more Republican, so you can't focus on small details like the right to buy cool-whip.

But SF truly is horribly mismanaged. Compare it to other dense cities. I'm glad I never have to work there again.
> "why are you hiring someone, when you could give everyone a bigger bonus"

Or even "we just invoiced $5k for that project, I didn't get $5k, that seems unfair". Some people find it difficult to see all the different places that gross revenue has to go in order to keep the lights on and the wheels turning.
Just curious, why isn't there positive news about China posted here?

For example, how about the fact that major Chinese cities are much safer than major US cities? No random person who can shoot you with a gun at any time. No homeless/drug addicts patrolling downtown. Girls can safely walk alone at night. No one is going to pick your pocket. No one is going to steal from your local Walgreens.

Or how about that their public subway system is so good, so clean, so efficient that the vast majority of people don't need cars? Thus, people there waste far less carbon than the typical American in transportation.

These are things that everyone here seem to advocate for. Why not post articles of all the good things happening over there? Surely, 1.4 billion people will generate at least a few positive articles in the US, right? Right....?
It's in the long term interest of NASA for it to fail. I wonder what that does to the rigor of their QC process for a launch?
A response should be delivered quickly and efficiently, and in no uncertain terms. Filling it with heart and soul just gives false hope that some kind of appeal to emotion can be achieved. But it cannot.
There are plenty of such stores selling quality goods, brick-and-mortar is too general.

But in terms of big-box retailers it has indeed become a depressing reality in the USA, ever since Sears closed down.

FWIW the last few times I abandoned hope in the kitchenware aisles of Wal-Mart I found something reasonable at Bed Bath & Beyond, a brick-and-mortar store. But it did admittedly require still splurging on basically top-of-the-line variants at BB&B. Such options were nowhere to be found in Wal-Mart though, not even close.

My impression is that the big-box retailers just don't go deep on the quality axis, they instead go wide on the quantity axis in terms of kinds of products. Within the ~quality axis they often just have cosmetically different looking dolled-up variants of more or less the same garbage with a higher price tag.

But if you go somewhere with a narrower scope like BB&B, you can at least find tangible differences along the quality axis. And they sure demand top-of-the-line prices for quality levels we once took for granted before China turned up the wick on this race to zero :(
Eh, once you get to orbit you are more than halfway there. Once you get to the moon you need only very little deltaV to make it back.

But yeah, they’re on completely different levels.
Seems like if you draw something and hit start, but get the queue error, you lose the image prompt you drew as the frame is replaced with the first steps of diffusion noise? None of the results have a composition anywhere close to my image prompt, presumably because I can't get a run on first attempt.
The unfortunate reality is you can't have both an inexpensive and prebuilt keyboard in this space. I'd suggest looking for a used Kinesis Advantage 1 or 2 on ebay as that might be a little more palatable and the used prices are fairly stable so you won't lose too much money if you find you don't like it.
I've seen a lot of people claim that, but it's misleading. Falcon Heavy is the most powerful rocket to LEO, GEO, TLI (trans lunar injection), and higher energy orbits like the ones you use for Jupiter and beyond.

When SLS finishes development, it will also hold the record for all 3.
I live on Canadian island province of PEI and we have water restrictions here too, on an island! Yes there are lots of farms here and water is a big issue. With 50% of the entire population living in the capital city and growing fast water is getting scarce.

We don't have restrictor devices her yet. Water meters were only introduced about fives years ago and paying for water has been a shock to most people.

It's not just dry places like California. The eastern US or Canada don't necessarily have all kinds of water, and an island can also run out of water.
Programming and setting up production are simultaneously complex and complicated. Once you get past a certain level of precision or scale, management in either case becomes more of an art form than a science.

It's possible to build a manufacturing line that results in humans on the moon, but that line also depends on software. In then end there is no pure production chain any more. Margaret Hamilton saw to that. 8)
I can give you the opposite perspective: our CEO shares very little, and often far too late for us to be effective. It’s led to several resignations over the last year, increases stress, and encourages burnout as we all see a heavy emotional investment with little payoff. Frankly, it sucks being in a professional position with the potential (and job description) to direct operations, but to be in reality one of many assistants to a single bottleneck.

I realize that this may be a common arrangement, but I would suggest that it is not the best model for anyone involved, and would encourage you to avoid it.
It's not exactly what I was expecting, but educational regardless. Much like this site. My thanks for your contribution.
What is it designed for? Sucking money out of the treasury?
That matches what we were being told 18 months ago though.

As I understood it, the problem was with the number of people being infected, because of the lack of any existing immunity.

Ie, most of the population has some degree of immunity to the flu, so it kills people in much lower numbers each year.
COVID was going to…and did…infect large numbers all at once which would wreak havoc on the health systems of countries and cause the death rate of all caused to skyrocket.
Counterpoint: America builds more things today than almost ever before. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/gdp-from-manufact...

Or at least, we did a few months ago. We seem to be hitting a recession this year specifically but our GDP from manufacturing is better today than from the 2010s, 2000s, 1990s, 1980s, etc etc.

------

While other counties struggled to get COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing, US companies mass produced highly effective next-generation MRNA vaccines thanks to a combination of supercomputer analysis, genetic analysis/sequencing, and high end health care testing in record time.

Then the formula was mass produced, largely in USA (though requiring lots of supplies from Europe).

We are making things, we are making new useful better things, etc etc. It's less gloom and more hope if you actually look at the numbers.
Wow. As someone living outside of the US this is quite shocking.
If I do a wrong and another person does the same wrong, it’s still two wrongs. We shouldn’t be defending TikTok because some other company did the same thing. This should be obvious to anyone.
I’m quite sure I am. I also find that most people I’ve talked to about this underestimate how many Jews are atheists.
Maybe I'm just old and grouchy, but I think that at some point we might need to consider just stepping back and letting a little bit of natural selection occur- occasionally, just once in a while- in Homo (sometimes-not-so-)sapiens.

Falcon Heavy is fully certified for the most difficult level of uncrewed launches by NASA and the Space Force -- including reusing side boosters.

NASA's crewed rating is one step farther, but not a huge step farther.
Solid rockets will never be effectively reusable. They may have made sense early on, but in 2022 they're clearly an evolutionary dead end.
> Until the end of 2017, Guantanamo detainees were allowed to take their art with them when they were released, or give it to their lawyers to take out.

> The artists could bring their work to meetings with their lawyers, who would submit it along with their meeting notes to a "privilege team", which assesses everything leaving Guantanamo for classified material or national security issues.

...

> Then in late 2017, under the Trump administration, it became clear that art was no longer being allowed out. Like lots of things in the world of Guantanamo, there was no official notification to the lawyers, no memo. Artwork was all of a sudden simply bounced back from the privilege team to the detainees.

...

The British spent enormous effort bombing V1 launch sites. Hitler apparently knew that the random hits of the V1 on London had little military significance, but it caused an enormous diversion of British resources to try and stop the V1. Hence Hitler kept it up.

Sometimes I wonder why the Germans didn't simply create lots of fake V1 launch sites out of sticks and cardboard.
Something that piqued my interest in that post:

> The confusion here comes from our misunderstanding of mathematics. Much of the math that mechanical engineers use is continuous math. This is where we work over a continuous domain, like real numbers. Things like calculus, trigonometry, and differential equations are in this category. This is what most people in the US learn in high school, codifying it as what they think of as “math”.

> In software, we don’t use these things, leading to the conception that we don’t use math. But we actually use discrete math, where we deal exclusively with non-continuous numbers. This includes things like graph theory, logic, and combinatorics. You might not realize that you are using these, but you do. They’re just so internalized in software that we don’t see them as math! In fact most of computer science is viewable as a branch of mathematics. Every time you simplify a conditional or work through the performance complexity of an algorithm, you are using math. Just because there are no integrals doesn’t mean we are mathless.

I'd be interested to hear more about this. What actually defines "math" then?
Republicans know that strategy and reject it. Their strategy is more about personal responsibility.

In fact, I'd expect a theoretical Republican leadership in NYC to ban the cool-whip too. For harm reduction, wouldn't allowing it be better if it's safer than the alternatives?
I may not want it to fail, but I fully expect it to. Do they really expect this launch to go right the first time?
