The planes are so expensive because they're specialized planes meant to be in the air nearly 24 hours a day - this justifies spending a huge amount of money on improving their fuel efficiency. A friend who works in large commercial aircraft once told me that the break-even point for money spent redesigning planes to be lighter was $1,000,000 in R&D spending per pound of weight saved. Older models which are typically used for intermittent cargo service can cost just $20m for a 747.

Do you actually think the comment you replied to was complaining about requirements like central heat or bathrooms? NIMBYs will trot out every excuse and misdirection to avoid addressing the dire shortage of housing. This anti-growth mindset is a philosophy of death. I suspect that deep down, many want the world to end with them and are actually sabotaging efforts to solve societal issues out of some sort of Freudian death-drive.
Makes sense that effective militaries are well-organized like this. Militaries have conducted big engineering projects for civic purposes, all thru history - don't remember the exact anecdote. But found a wiki[1] by quick google search.

This is a launch of falcon heavy, there's only been a handful (unlike single falcon 9, which are more common and might be the "random SpaceX launch" you had in mind). It's also a live stream instead of a news article.
But other space news events are interesting too of course
Super interesting to read about the implementation details of IPFS. IPFS feels like one of those developments in the space of decentralized applications, that's more likely to stand the test of time.
I guess whoever inserted it probably didn't quite anticipate the rise in neo-nazism and the far-right in recent years? Like before 2016 it's an edgy joke that'd make most people roll their eyes at worst if they know the context. Afterwards, and particularly after Charlottesville, regardless of the intent it does look like a very particular and sinister kind of statement.
I think it’s more that unlike in video games, real football players cannot see behind them without turning their heads and slowing down.

Maybe something like SLSA could solve your issue https://slsa.dev/ the idea is to create a metadata standard so that packages can provide build providence information. So public build systems like github actions can sign a manifest explaining what build actions were executed and what the input and output of those actions are. That way you could verify a package was built from a specific set of sources with a specific set of build actions without requiring reproducibility. This assumes you trust the public build system not to lie though.
The most surprising to me is that NodeJS says they are affected https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/openssl-november-20...
Again, it's just because sometimes things are different. That's why I used pies and trucks as an analogy. Both pies and trucks are well established, serve their needs well, have plenty of variety, and room for improvement and innovation. That does not mean all work on desserts and automobiles should contain crusts and beds. Those are design decisions that serve some purposes very well, but not everything.

Most importantly: programming, like baking and automobile design, is an artistic craft, not just a solution to real world problems. We as a society already have well established solutions to tasty treats, transportation, and interacting with a computer. Trying something new will not harm anything, but there is a chance it may revolutionize everything. If it meets the authors requirements, while satisfying their creative urge, then the cost is well worth the benefit. Even if they are the only ones to ever use it.

That said, if you are asking why is it worth it for you or anyone else to invest their time into learning how to use it, that is a very different question, and I have no idea. I will not be using this any time soon, but I wish them luck, and I am glad that they are trying something new.

Not disagreeing but unfortunately a lot of data sources have different opinions on this. And sometimes categorizations are actually useful indicators to tell what is what.

Composable and namespaced tags is exactly what we do in my company. It gives us a lot of flexibility and it mirrors what OSM does. You can do a lot of duck typing against such a system and it will work as good as your data is without breaking completely when you get bad data. You just loose some features.
Serverless Inc. | REMOTE (Americas & Europe) | 2 Full-time Senior Software Engineers | https://www.serverless.com/

Understanding and troubleshooting our architectures is getting harder as we embrace more cloud infrastructure. Serverless Console's mission is to solve that. It's a powerful observability solution teams can use at scale in production, but it stands out because it's incredibly useful in the development phase as well. It does this through innovative ways of streaming logs, traces, infrastructure activity from AWS to its user interface, allowing developers to get real-time feedback on their cloud applications in one place (rather than going on a scavenger hunt across AWS dashboards to troubleshoot).

Ultimately, we want Console https://serverless.com/console to be the sidekick every developer has open while they build on AWS.

We are a globally distributed, fully remote Series B startup and we are hiring back-end engineers and architects for Serverless Console, a new developer-first observability solution for apps using modern cloud infrastructure on AWS.

Follow this link to read the entire job listing, and to submit your resume. Senior Software Engineer - Backend - Serverless Console - https://jobs.lever.co/serverless/4ba58c9f-037b-4015-9cca-64e...

Charging taxes for participants in a market you create feels like a giant loophole through antiquated economic policy. There may have been a time where if you built a mall, it helped local communities briefly by attracting stores that otherwise didn't want to manage the full cost of operations themselves.

At this point of technology and society, incentivizing markets and market walling has lead to a tax on the creators of value and their consumers. Because regulators have allowed market owners to set their own tax rates, they have ceded control over what type of content and goods we have available through something like VAT.

Would it not be better for the market to have a fixed cap on market taxes? What is the argument against it?
Nah, read a bit of the Deno vs Bun thing and it's pretty clear. Bun said that Bun was way faster (on 1 thread), and it is. But Deno were butt-hurt for these claims and said they were way faster (in 2-4 threads, vs Bun's 1 thread), and they are. But that's a ridiculous comparison for multiple reason:

- Bun does recognize they don't have multi-processor yet, so yeah cannot compare that (remember it's still alpha software!). So they compared what they had so far with a similar setup in Deno, pretty fair for that stage IMHO!

- In real-life you'd have either 1 thread for smaller apps, or setup a proxy with multiple instances if the program was single-threaded, so the comparison Deno made was in no way realistic.
Looks interesting but also seems kinda creepy

Snapchat is the only real social media app in my opinion. People seems to use it to actually connect with their friends via Stories, Messages and even SnapMaps. They don't mindless scroll like on other social media apps like Facebook, Instagram, etc...

However, it seems like Snapchat hasn't gotten that so they keep pushing useless content like Discover and Spotlight...
No, that's not what this means.

Oh, then yeah that's just annoying. I was annoyed off of it not too long ago as a long-time user, and it was for political stuff for me as well. We won't have a good picture of post-Elon Twitter until the 9th, but I'm cautiously optimistic.
I think there a few flaws with your thoughts

> A stabilizing population on an island with limited space seems like a good thing. A little more space opens up for living and real-estate prices might become more favorable. Maybe there's room for more parks and other things that make life good. When conditions become more favorable, people will be able to reproduce more.

Population density is not homogenous. Excluding pandemic era, the trend has been decreasing population density in the countryside and smaller cities, while more population moves to the big cities. In general, population size need not correlate for the average persons lived population density.

> I'd say that the human desire for reproduction might work in the same way, only instead of prey, maybe real-estate prices and quality of life is the cyclical variable to note.

This is likely true on the extremes to some degree, but I haven’t seen much evidence that this is a driving force of population dynamics.

> I've never understood why there was such an extreme panic by some about Japan's lower birth rates to the point that they urged mass immigration there.

This is generally because the population is not stabilizing, it’s on the verge of collapsing. If fertility rate rises “naturally” in the future, as you suggest, then it’s obviously not an issue. But maintaining a 1.3 or lower fertility rate indefinitely will result in an exponential decay of population which could itself result in a decline of living standards. For example, if the population decreases too much to support a high speed rail system so these are abandoned as unprofitable.

Yes! I think this is a key concept that is often overlooked. Taxonomies -- and ontologies for that matter -- can often serve as a guide to the corpus, particularly when a user has less familiarity with the knowledge space.

And yes, any taxonomy is by definition always a subjective, biased construct. But this is often useful in helping to reveal the preferences and motivations behind the creation and curation of the corpus itself.

The EU's Digital Markets Act[0] will require interoperability for various kinds of services between what they call "gatekeeper" entities.

You might be thinking "sounds to good to be true" or "no such thing as a free lunch", and if so - you have just won a prize: the EU's Digital Services Act[1]!

This second balancing act includes such wonderful requirements for hosting providers and data processors to pro-actively scan for and report illegal data (leave no bit unturned!), to identify and keep verifiable records of their customers' identities (match those bits!), external auditing and "trusted flaggers" (sell those bits!), full-access no-limits and thus decrypted sharing of customer data with authorities during crises (to ensure the security and continuing stability of the Galactic Republic!).

Hopefully this attempt at bringing the news in a comedic manner has helped to soften any feelings of hopelessness and impending doom :D

It's definitely a risk. I remember talking with peers in undergrad about the campus bubble we lived in compared to the surrounding community (which was not as affluent). Ultimately I think people need safe spaces to explore ideas. If they are surrounded by a world that is a battleground over identity, then they're going to dig in and fight. If they are surrounded by people they trust, then I think they have room to explore different ideas.
