It's not just recycled Space Shuttle materials, though - the program (if it ever gets far enough) will run out of recycled Space Shuttle launch hardware after 3 or 4 flights... at which point the plan for additional launches is to use new hardware (theoretically with improved performance) that is still in the process of being designed and built.

To me, that seems to be the worst of both worlds: all the cost and headaches of developing an effectively new launch system, but doing so shackled to a launch vehicle design that's dominated by ideas from the late 60s.
No I specifically said it wouldn't. It's gone from a money fire to a money inferno, but that is a political choice as distinct from an engineering one.
It's funny, this story sounds like something Lem might actually have written (perhaps just a little too twee), but someone going all-in on a book generator that produces descriptions like this but it's irretrievably shitty is also a story Lem would definitely have written.

So, if you had to choose between funding community theater and saving X lives, how large would X need to be before you'd abandon the theater?

It's fine to spend money on the theater, everyone spends money and time on themselves and their interests. If you consider community theater altruism though, I think it makes sense to acknowledge that it is ineffective altruism - that is, you're doing a little bit of good with your money, but not nearly as much as you might be doing.
They launched a rocket perfectly first time, with no spectacular imagery of failed launches to scare off human passengers.
Can it occasionally do something positive?

Maybe - I am unconvinced, my sister who is a Cardiologist (and so actually deals with this more day to day) certainly has changed her tune from 2-3 years ago to the point where she and the cardiologists she works with see it as a pestilence.

I think the commenter you replied to gives a good reason why. The false positive rate is so high, and the flow on effect to resourcing so great, that I find it hard to say anything positive about what is being presented as a diagnostic miracle. You've got trillion dollar companies behind these devices, that by themselves have annual turnovers for the product in question at the level of small countries' GDPs. You don't think their marketing teams ham it up a bit whenever there's the slightest story that one of their devices was involved in someone that was treated?

here's a nice pop-sci-feel-good article I found within seconds [0].
The first couple are completely unrelated. the A-Fib ones, which are the main ones that apple goes hard at (at least during initial marketing, and which all the promo was focused on) - are basically irrelevant. They sound impressive to the layperson, but AFib is very common, often intermittent in the initial stages (but very rarely causes any harm when intermittent) and very frequently symptomatic when it sets in which leads to presentations, which leads to prompt diagnosis and management.

Even my very tattered vellum-bound copy of the writings of Seneca (in latin) dated 1643 (the year Isaac Newton was born) which I picked up for a few pence years ago is just about readable with the pages firmly attached to the spine. On the other hand my paperback copy of Roger Penrose's The Road to Reality (2004) is falling to bits with chunks of pages departing from the spine.
I think this is a really cool idea and I like the simplicity of it!

Is there a way to have an endpoint take additional arguments to filter the data. In the case of the dummy CSV I would like to have an option saying "show only records where country == USA" or something like that. The easy monetization is also quite cool.

When I deploy a data set and create an endpoint, I cannot use the public page to query the set. The response is always: "No API key found in request".

What I could do right now is filter beforehand, but if I could do this kind of stuff with your tool, that would greatly simplify that.

Where and how are the the data sets stored? Since data is usually either privacy-sensitive or IP it would be great to know.

I would love to chat more about that if you want!

But the highest ever grant was $55M for "potential risks from AI". The 4th and 6th highest grants were similar.[1]

Yeah I’ve basically never had issues. I wish I could convert more people to Fastmail, they’re a great company.

The only time I had issues was when I made some gnarly config attempting to auto-sort all of my emails, and their support rep was very knowledgeable and useful. An actual response from real humans, who actually listened to me instead of checking boxes of “have you tried turning it off and on again”.

It’s a recommendation that I originally got from HN, and hopefully others will see all of the positive comments in this thread as well :)

Only thing that still frustrates me constantly: their mobile app doesn’t work offline. If you want that, you’ll need to set up IMAP with another email client (like Apple mail)..
Just a little reminder:

These taxpayer dollars aren't gone, they flow back into the economy. It makes tens of thousands of jobs possible.

People reacted the same over the price of the Perseverance (2.75bn) project, as if somehow all that money was now on the surface of Mars.
> Because motivated, high performing people need to have control over their own destiny.

This opinion seems to be peculiar to software and I think it has something to do with the fact that software is one of the few verticals where you can (attempt to) intellectualize everything.

Having control over your own destiny in any other skilled labor job seems to be 98% about finding a brand and model of tool that works the way you do, and 2% building your own tools or jigs for that specialty task nobody thought to build a tool for.

In software it's anywhere from 90:10 to 10:90 depending on how much emotional baggage your coworkers are carrying around.
I understand the grievances about delays and overruns, but I am disappointed that the complainers can't for one moment be excited about the most powerful rocket in 50 years launching a crew-capable module further than ever before.

Let's just celebrate this moment, for a moment.
On the downside, it can be particularly bad to find a place where the kind of fucked up they have and the kind of fucked up you have don't work well enough together to be happy or healthy, not bad enough to get worse, and you are all sort of locked into a slow slide of dysfunction that just gets a little worse month by month, but not enough that anyone makes a big change.
It seems this is still based on changing history - Does hg have something to address the downsides of rebasing that are present in git? such as chilling effect on cooperation of branches (eg you don't dare touch or use remote branches which someone may use rebase on, and destruction of actual history for use in eg reconstructing a timeline of a bug and fix later found to be important).
Considering most of these are run off small VPS instances, you should look for one geographically close, without too many users, that isn't on the banlists of servers you want to talk to (I'm assuming that you aren't interested in self-hosting). Maybe you should first identify some people you'd want to follow, and use that to narrow things down?
More realistically funding for NASA probably needs to be decoupled from political will in the specifics and it should be allocated a yearly budget that it can spend however it wants with no pork barreling.
Thanks so much for your plan! Much appreciated! I'll give it a bit of a whirl!

> I will consistently try to save my family member

Sure, but that's because we all prefer living in a society where everyone abides by their obligations to the people closest to them - nothing wrong with this. That's special pleading, though.
What are you talking about? source?
Couldn't NASA have put a little of its giant budget into a presentation that's more appealing than a Wordpress blogpost? I don't think it would just be sugarcoating. Millions of people are passionate about space and billions were around the first moon landing. SpaceX has done a great job reviving this space age excitement with their pre launch interviews, life coverage and analysis. NASA could easily have done the same by directing 0.0001% of their funding to this aspect, but for some reason chose not to.
> Nor does it mean otherwise, what's your point?

And I never said otherwise. Which is why I opened my original post with a question about what actually happened.

Yes, both cases you mention are damaging something. A better example might be - is a person who draws on a sidewalk with sidewalk chalk damaging it?

If someone moves my trashcan on the street 2' to the right so they can park where it was, have they damaged it?
I think people are assuming that a nuclear disaster would be the end of the world.

There are all kinds of scenarios where a nuclear disaster comes into the picture but society is intact, while also massively disrupted. In such a case more people would lose their lives from panic, starvation, infection, lack of clean water than anything exotic like radiation or a nuclear blast. This is why I have some preps; it’s not to survive if the world turns into a Walking Dead episode but as a way to prevent dying over something mundane before help arrives a few weeks or months later.

Did you reply to the wrong message? Or did I reply to the wrong message? Your reaction is confusing.

Anyway, latest headlines are saying things like "Poland missile ‘unlikely’ to have been fired from Russia" so the media did, in fact, manage to correct the misleading initial reports within about 12 hours.

Uber Eats sometimes uses the "delivery code" system too, but not always. I've noticed this in multiple countries. I think it depends on what address you're delivering to.

Why? They just launched the most powerful heavy lift rocket that can currently fly. It's an engineering achievement no matter how you look at it.
> The US ranks 27th in terms of "least corrupt"

Oh yes, that's why I consider them the worst. They're so corrupt they legalised it and have conned organisations like Transparency International into believing that in the US, paying off politicians isn't corruption. That's the funniest part... they call it speech.

But the same "speech" in any other country is considered corruption and bribery.

You were able to point to the NZ example with Peter Thiel precisely because corruption is so rare there and there was a massive outcry about his case.
Reading this blog post caused me to believe that EA was not a big contributor: https://milkyeggs.com/?p=175

Hmm making the comparison to the Falcon Heavy is unfair. It's meant to launch stuff into orbit while the SLS is meant to carry humans to Mars.

All Turbo Pascal editions up to TPW 1.5 also had plenty of nice manuals, and in similar number.
Shouldn't NASA launches be cheaper, or at least on budget, if they're leveraging all that as well?
Yes this, and night launches are terrible anyways.
Since the jobs are scraped and not fetched through an API, I'd also check whether the structure of the site changed in some way.

I'm very suspicious of the data, because a 33% decrease in less than a month is unreasonable. Even at the height of Covid, there wasn't that much of a drop-off.

I haven't watched the video (yet), but for example wikipedia has a stellar near-perfect rating, but still devote 15%/$12M of their budget to salaries which surely could be cut drastically if they wanted to really be on a shoestring.
Three things:

1. Efficiency is not an American value. The society almost always chooses decentralization over efficiency. For good and ill, the SLS project looks like America.

2. I don't think SpaceX is lacking talent at this point. Their primary constraint is time, not money. The Starship will fly when it's ready.

3. Three Falcon Heavy rockets can't launch the same payload as a single SLS. Cost per payload mass is only one factor. Maximum payload and the physical dimensions of the fairing are often equally important constraints. And those, rather than the price, are the main reasons why the Starship looks so promising.
On that reasoning any company that is successful and people make profit early on then fails would be a Ponzi. It still looks like Alameda/FTX was initially profitable and then began to make losses which resulted in FTX customers (not investors in Alameda) deposits being loaned/stolen.

I was pretty ticked that it was down right when I wanted to send an email to notify a client that I’d done something I’d promised by COB. Not like it happens often, though. They’re a good provider.
I'm downvoting because they're naive about long-term planning and political momentum, they're stating as fact potential alternate futures that would be far from certain, and they're wishing catastrophic failure to a complex program that would also represent a failure of engineering and safety standards, leading to its own set of negative conclusions.

They pretend that NASA/Congress would just say "whee, full tilt SpaceX" right away if SLS failed, and I don't see the evidence.
Musk's all-nighters at Twitter raise concern for Tesla investors
The 'state of the art' that SpaceX is pushing is nearly entirely a software thing aided by Falcon's unique engine arrangement. Hardware-wise Falcons are no more advanced than an SLS core stage, and are likely even ore technically primitive than most LVs. If SLS' mission criteria included an emphasis on reusability, NASA would have a fully reusable booster + core stage by now.

This decision was entirely due to doctrine. STS was designed as a mostly reusable product and failed costs-wise, so the government basically forced NASA to go with something expendable instead. It is genuinely impressive that SpaceX proved that reusable launch vehicles can be made cost-effective, but it's nowhere near the kind of massive quantum leap that SpaceX's legion of hardcore followers seems to be convinced it is. Everything on a Falcon or a Dragon is public domain 60s technology besides the code and guidance hardware (based on COTS components). The same is likely be true of Starship, which explains a lot of the significant teething issues it has suffered over the past several flight tests.
> I guess the math for such a business is:
- User deposits crypto worth X dollars.
- User can take out up to X * Y dollars as a loan.
- If the value of the crypto falls below X * Y * Z, it gets liquidated

My understanding is (deliberately) limited here but I have friends who participated in this or some other scheme like it, and the point is just purely speculative gambling. Take some slightly legitimate crypto token, take out a loan against it to buy shitcoin, rinse and repeat while hoping that everything goes up forever and/or you cash out right before everything comes crashing down.
I don't claim that anyone has to like ads. Only that when someone self-describes as an "NBA fan", that sounds like they're saying they're a fan of the NBA overall. When in the next sentence they complain about ads, it sounds like there's an assumption that the ads are encroaching on the NBA, whereas they're an extremely deliberate action by the NBA.

If someone said, I like watching basketball games but I don't like watching ads, that sounds different to me.
Recently Uber drivers have started delivering our food a street over, we just wish we could report the bug.

The announcement's top half reads like its withdrawing without imminent urgency, but its actually because they've entered voluntary administration.

Probably plastics and other long-lived chemicals in the environment, many of which can affect hormonal responses when they get inside the body.
Small point, I took it that the parent was talking about his experience with Deliveroo, in contrast to the post about Deliveroo’s service being good.
The point is that there are multiple ways to spend that money in a way that makes "thousands of jobs possible". You could fund healthcare, and spend the money for doctors, nurses and infrastructure.

Or you could spend it on education. Or research.

It's good in my opinion to have the conversation.

As an aside, I believe "creating jobs" should not be a societal goal. Making sure everyone can live a dignified life is.
Me too, like as it used to be in those days, we could get all kinds of software in Portuguese bazars at the cost of the material being copied.

However when I could afford the student editions of Borland products available to high school students, I bought TPW and Turbo C++ 3.1 for Windows, first TPW, and then TC++ an year later.
I think they put reasonable barriers to piracy. They are of course possible to circumvent, as every other barrier in existence, but you can also scan or make photocopies of a physical book. And this is actually a good thing. Mildly related: the other they I was watching something on Netflix on my phone and found something funny so I tried to take an screenshot to share with my friends, which quite frankly I think is fair use. It didn't work because it seems that although I paid for my phone, it's not really my phone.
It's just my assumption would be to not to get near it unless I knew for sure. The spacecraft would obviously be bombarded with huge amounts of radiation in space. Astronauts inside these vessels experience rather high doses of radiation. The question revolves around the materials used and whether they become irradiated or not and stay as such or not. I would assume that they would select materials that do not continuing radiating once back on Earth at a concerning level, but I don't know enough about materials to know that and this appears to be an external piece.
Need to add 3 billion more to that number to falsify the claim.

> The main thing is that information which is important to people will get converted to newer formats over time, just as old print books get reprinted if they're popular.

Vs. decent-quality old "dead tree" books, properly stored, can be ignored for centuries and still be perfectly fine.

You might want to ask a good historian or librarian about all the incredibly important (historically, to us, now) documents which we know existed, but we do not have, because there was no continuously-operated, high-budget "Holy Brothers of Document Preservation" monastery doing all the re-copy work needed to preserve them. (And maintain off-site backups in case of fire at the Monastery, and ...)

(If you aren't familiar - most of the materials used for documents in ancient times degrade fairly quickly. Unless (say) carefully stashed in a nice, dry cave in an arid climate. And even that stuff tends to be "crumble if you touch it" fragile.)
Australia also has Menulog (now owned by just eat) which was developed locally that had a head start and fills a similar segment to Deliveroo, often cheaper.
