Post Columbia accident, most of the shuttle missions were focused on the ISS where the crew could have taken refuge had there been a problem during ascent which prevented safe re-entry.[1]

As you note the Hubble mission (STS-125 with Atlantis) wouldn't have that option available due to its orbit, so NASA had the shuttle Endeavour ready to fly as STS-400 as a contingency.

[1] The plan would have been that crew stranded on the ISS would be picked up by a later shuttle, so NASA was obviously comfortable with the contingency of leaving a crew without transport off for a period of time during an emergency. These were designated STS-3xx missions and would have launched within 40 days of call up. The ISS could have supported the additional crew for 80 days.

Tesla Autonomy Day 2019-04-22:

"By the middle of next year [2020] we'll have over a million Tesla cars on the road with FSD hardware feature complete at a reliably level that we would consider that no one needs to pay attention. Meaning you could go to sleep. From our standpoint, if you fast-forward a year, maybe a year and 3 months, but next year for sure we will have over a million Robotaxis on the road. The fleet wakes up with an over-the-air update. That's all it takes."

All true, but when A) your entire business model relies on keeping those IDs hidden and B) you’re storing them on intentionally “promiscuous” media (RFID), it definitely increases the attack surface in a big way.

I’m sure this is a calculated risk, they probably feel confident in their ability to detect unauthorized attempts to read the tags.

Cultured meat is meat, it's just not taken from slaughtered animals. So there's a world of difference between processing vegetable matter and faking it into meat-like substances, vs. culturing meat "humanely" with technology to avoid the perils of factory farming.

All things being equal, the promise is that cultured meat will be equivalent in taste, texture, nutrition, etc. to animal meat.
LTSpice is pretty great. I used it in undergrad to design and simulate a single block of CMOS memory. It was a little tough getting going, but once I figured things out it was a great experience.
Sorry to sound stupid and probably out of topic, but at the end of the article the author placed a (I infer) satirical image of what appears to be doubly linked gravity wells, a typical wormhole by Hollywood explanations. At the top the author placed “This is not a wormhole”.

Is this a reference to “this is not a pipe” (related to the description ≠ experiment argument of the article) or they actually mean that that rendition does not represent a wormhole?

here's a question to you...since ur like, almost from the Java world!

Why not clj-thymeleaf ? or even clojurescript ? this is very interesting that you find HTMX better than clojurescript - typically clojure devs prefer to stay within the lisp world for any markup.

ive been getting pushback in a java team against htmx. cos the value prop is unclear vs jsp or thymeleaf. Would love to hear ur perspective.
This is one of the most naive takes that I hear often.

An assailant with a gun is prepared to do you harm. There is a 100% chance that they are going to have their gun with them and be ready. They are no more going to wait for you to prepare to defend yourself than the person with a knife is going to swing it widely in a way your corner self defense class is going to prepare you to defend yourself.

That’s like people saying they want guns to protect themselves from the federal government when a small town SWAT team could take them out without breaking a sweat. Let alone the federal government with the worlds largest military.

That doesn't work; without additional configuration you'll just end up entering the same ascii that matches the keys you press.

You have to enable the IME. (In the example you appear to be suggesting, you do that by hitting shift.) You can't be in Chinese input mode all the time, because that would make it impossible to type non-Chinese text.
why hyperscript and not alpine.js ? just asking. alpine.js seems to be a lot more popular generally (even without htmx)

>"Don't publish someone's location in realtime (24 hour delay is required)"...why should LibsOfTikTok be required to stop criticizing liberals or children's hospitals that do gender-affirming surgery?

LibsOfTikTok has called out doctors using their names, photos, and their place of work. Isn't that effectively revealing the location they will be at most days? Is it any less likely that a crazy person will wait outside those medical facilities to attack a doctor than it is that a crazy person will wait outside an airport for Musk? Isn't what LibsOfTikTok is doing even more dangerous considering they intentionally frame these doctors as a threat while ElonJet is purely informational?

This arguably makes cheating less likely. If someone in production knew both players’ hole cards, which was the theory, this would be a nonsensical place to cheat. It was still a coin flip to either lose everything or, best case scenario, win a hand with a remarkable call that was sure to draw scrutiny.

If they were that unbelievably reckless, this wouldn’t be the only hand they cheated in. Yet there weren’t other examples of notable calls or folds that indicated cheating.

The simplest explanation in my mind is that this rather inexperienced player made a very loose call and got lucky. I can’t rule out the possibility of cheating, but there’s not enough evidence to make it more than a conspiracy theory.

Violence is not exclusive to murder. Men are socially shamed for being victimized by women. My experience with sharing my stories of abuse have led me to completely hide it away from anyone; I will be judged as weak, incompetent, emasculate, or worse. To the best of my knowledge on the topic there
hasn't even been much serious inquiry into male victimization[1].

I do not doubt that given their significantly higher natural testosterone men have both a greater raw rate of violence and more incidences reported.

That said, Intimate Partner Violence carries significant psychological trauma. You are completely downplaying that trauma, focusing on only the most extreme and rare cases.[2] 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men report having experienced Intimate Partner Violence.[3]

I think you are doing some backwards reasoning based on the prevalence of English in computing to justify why we would only need the English alphabet.

> * Almost all languages have widely used, standardized transliteration systems into a Latin script. That's not true for Cyrillic.

There may be standard transliteration systems for non-English alphabet languages, but there are often multiple standard transliteration systems (e.g. Russian, Arabic). Also, Chinese transliteration is pretty gobbledygook without diacritics that aren't present in the English alphabet (and kind of gobbledygook even with diacritics).

> * English is far more widely spoken and read than any language written in Cyrillic.

What if the de facto language of computing was Mandarin instead?

> * The subset of the Latin script used by English is essentially the common denominator of all languages written in Latin. That's an extremely important property and immediately predisposes English for the role it has today.

The Latin script used by English is exactly all the letters you need to write English. Many other languages written in Latin script either have more (e.g. Spanish, Norwegian), or fewer (e.g. Italian, Serbian), or have different rules for certain things (e.g. Turkish).
Also, people fail to take into account that even with reduced consumption, we would still need to improve the electrical grid. We have to electrify transport, heating, agriculture, industrial processes, ... Even if we all stopped buying iPhones and computers tomorrow, if we are serious about decarbonisation, we still need more electrical energy.
> Homograph attacks are still a problem without unicode.

Sure, but with ASCII there are just two or three sets of homographs ("l1I|", "O0" mostly), whereas with Unicode there are potentially thousands of confusable characters, and more are constantly being added.

> As far as input devices have you used an IME hands on before? Non-latin characters aren't really any more "additional tools or configuration" than when during install you select "English" as your language.

This ignores the millions and millions of devices still in use (and not going anywhere) that don't have "input methods" or anything like it.

Try setting up an IME on a computer running DOS (which is still everywhere in many public offices), on an industrial machine with a basic keyboard, on an aircraft avionics system, etc.

Basic English Latin is the common denominator. That won't change until all those "long tail" devices are gone.
I am not really sure what facts have transpired aside from people being outraged and having political opinions.

B) There is a different guy (?) who allegedly obstructed a vehicle containing Elon Musk's child and climbed on its hood, is this a speech issue? Or assault? Asking that question mostly in earnest

It is technically possible to use a pound key (#) as an end of input indicator. It is almost impossible to change the users habits though, not mentioning the need to reprogram thousands of telephony switches. Another (better) option here is packet sending of DTMF string - digits are collected on a smart user's device (i.e. iphone) and the complete number is sent as a digit string, not one by one. Problem here is that there are still lots of dumb phones that don’t do that. Analog lines (copper fxo/fxs interfaces) are also present even nowadays. So as usual, legacy and backwards compatibility are holding back progress.

> So if/when fusion power is to hand, it will add to or replace existing decarbonised power sources.

There are a few misconceptions about energy I think it's important to clear up.

- New energy sources have never replaced older ones. Instead they were just added to the pile. We are currently burning more biomass and more coal than ever before. So-called decarbonized energy sources have never replaced fossil fuels.

- There is an interdependency, a symbiotic relationship if you will, between different energy sources. To pump oil you need steel, which means burning coal. To mine coal you need diesel-powered machines. To build solar panels you need to mine minerals with diesel-powered machines. To make wind turbines you need steel, and thus burn coal. To build nuclear reactors you need lots of steel, lots of cement, which also means burning coal. Even to be able to burn biomass (renewable, carbon-neutral, yay) on an industrial scale you need machines to cut all those trees, powered by fossil fuels. And so forth and so on...

- The mining activity related with so called "decarbonized energy" (solar, wind, nuclear, lithium batteries etc) is heavily based on fossil fuels. This, in addition to its multiple disastrous environmental impacts: destruction of ecosystems, water pollution, air pollution, aquifer poisoning.

- The global economy is still totally dependent on fossil fuels - for mining, global transport, food production and to a large degree manufacturing. Just about any object in your house or in your pocket was manufactured and delivered to you using fossil fuels. Those Teslas everybody is so enamored with won't exist without the coal burned to make the steel they contain, the oil burned to mine all the other metals (actually a substantial chunk of the periodic table), and also the oil burned getting them delivered to you. Not to mention the fact that you'll still need to burn some gas and coal in order to charge them.

For nuclear fusion, even if the technology is advanced enough to create a stable reaction that releases more energy than it consumes, personally I highly doubt it will be sufficient to ween us off fossil fuels. Nuclear fission (the most dense energy source we currently have) has never done that.
From that warp factor page:

> Although formulas to calculate a relative speed from a warp factor have existed in the writer's guides, these were rarely used for reference in the episodes and films.

They just winged it with the technobabble. They retconned it by explaining that it’s a relativistic measurement which take into account gravity wells and ship size. I.e. even warp factor 10 (infinite speed in Voyager) might not be enough to escape a black hole if it gets too close.

Edit: the ENT/VOY comparison makes no sense even with the retcon IMO, how is warp 4.6 in a mid-22nd century ship an order of magnitude faster than warp 4.7 in a 24th century ship?

> It’s doxxing if the info was not meant to be public, but was leaked via some source unintentionally.

I’m not sure you’ll find many who agree with you in this definition. The natural followup to “not meant to be public” is “meant by who?” Oftentimes people are doxxed through collation of various public records, kept and published by the government. I’m thinking things like phone books, arrest records, property transfer records, business registration, WHOIS registration, and many more. Then there’s times when the victim themselves didn’t realize they were leaking information. Even seemingly innocuous photos can be used by determined individuals to get a precise location [1]. I realize this falls under “unintentional” by your definition but would it be fair to say the person doxxed themselves in this case? I don’t think so.

To me the essence of doxxing is putting together otherwise disparate info into an easily sharable package. Something which raises the profile of the individual datapoints and their relation to each other until finding the victims information is trivial for anyone with a basic search.

How does having taken a ride make you an expert? That's a ridiculous argument on a level with trying to shut someone who criticizes Facebook's algorithms down by saying I use Facebook and never had an issue.

If you're into self driving tech, Cruise especially is regularly ridiculed for their vehicles blocking traffic. Take this latest example: https://twitter.com/as611/status/1597144790767788032

But more importantly in case you're not aware it's not true self-driving at all, they're geofenced and both Waymo as well as Cruise have been shown to have issues with even minor changes like a construction site. The tech isn't there, we don't really have full self-driving and if we actually put a million "self-driving" cars on the road as the above user suggested, it would be utter mayhem with current tech. If this will change in the future is to be seen and from what I've observed progress has already slowed as per ninety–ninety rule. It's easy to have some autonomy functions. It's hard to have millions of fully automated cars. So far, we're nowhere near it.

I wonder how much of this is actual decline in ability, vs. perception of decline. Can you give us some hard data, like your measured WPM over time?

I'm guessing that when you're young, you notice such mistakes less because you're happy and excited to be working on new stuff. Also, because stuff is new, you tend to be a bit more careful to do things "right".

As you age and slide into a comfort zone, you begin to get a bit lazy, and expect things to just keep rolling along the same way they always have. As a result, typos become more noticeable because they interrupt your flow which you've gotten accustomed to. And any slight decline will seem like a big decline because it's that much more annoying.
This looks amazing and some of you really need to stop yelling at clouds. Not everything needs to be “boring and functional”, it’s ok for things to be just fun.
You can definitely tell the difference in battery life when running Electron apps and badly energy optimized browsers (ie Chrome) in Electron apps.

Even on mobile, there is a huge difference in responsiveness for instance with travel apps than the equivalent websites.

> You're limited to web APIs, instead of native APIs. Which is why, I believe, there is a full court press on so many sites to get mobile users away from websites and into their apps

So how can you both want web apps to have more native capabilities and want to avoid apps because they have too many native capabilities?

> Almost all languages have widely used, standardized transliteration systems into a Latin script. That's not true for Cyrillic.

Well, it's not true by any measure. It is not the case that almost all languages have widely used, standardized transliteration systems into a Latinate script.

> The subset of the Latin script used by English is essentially the common denominator of all languages written in Latin.

This isn't true either. Why would an Italian consider the weird English letter 'j' more universal than the weird French letter 'ç'? The French might not mind 'j', but what are they supposed to think about 'w'?
It's not obviously not doxxing to post publicly available information about the locations of aircraft. It never has been and it never will be.
