Like it or not, politics is pretty much your day to day life at vp+ level at these companies.

But we can all pretend to live in idealism la la land where everything is operating on someone’s best intention.
So you seem to be defining "success" in terms of completing pre-planned flight events, which is fine. However, this is not the only metric by which one can define and assess success. Surely you must agree it depends on the objective.

We might as well be arguing over if the launch was "good" or "bad", -it is subjective.

One objective question you can ask is "Did the test complete the pre-specified criteria which SpaceX said they would consider a success?", which it did.

We could then debate if they have a dumb criteria for Success, and what we think is a better one.
Few things:

- Okta is more enterprisey and complicated and works if you are a large company. It has now become one of those tools where "no one gets fired for buying IBM" analogy can be applied. CIos can justify Okta much faster than Google Workspace.

- Google Workspace is simpler but may lack some granular controls that Okta provides.

You got it right. Smaller companies are good enough with Google Workspace nowadays but larger ones need the "enterprise" stamp.
So, what do you recommend?
From this blog post, I could already feel the bureaucratic nature of their org. My money's still on OpenAI. I think their motivation is more pure, their objectives more focused, and their org more simple. I usually think of product dominance in two vectors: first to market and benchmarks.

Google took over the world as something like the 11th search engine to hit the market, but some of their benchmarks were 10x better.

OpenAI has both going for them right now and I don't think that's going to change.
The article does say that without the GPS service, they are 4% less efficient (in terms of slightly overlapping swathes of seeds/fertilizer/whatever) and this is enough to be uncompetitive. Back when I was a kid on a family farm, accurate within 4% would have been great (with manually driven tractors)!
Basically as far as I can tell a group of UFO believers within the Pentagon has been gaslighting and grifting the government to divert funds and resources away from surveillance for mundane threats like drones and spy balloons, in order to search for alien spacecraft[0]. The media, being the media, conflated numerous disparate conspiracy theories and stories into a vague quasi-narrative about tic-tacs and anti-gravity patents[1]. The government UAP hearing[2] wasn't the "disclosure" UFO believers wanted it to be, but the hype and speculation fueled the craze nonetheless. Finally the arc culminated with the Chinese spy balloon incident which people believed was secretly some kind of war between the government and alien spacecraft[3], but which turned out to be... a Chinese spy balloon and a whole lot of nothing. I think they shot down some kid's science project or something.

So yeah. It wasn't aliens. It's never aliens.

(puts on sunglasses)

or so they say.

At this level, we're creating the concept of a digital state, so we can't use that result to solve problems, it's circular reasoning.

If damping makes heat, how can damping it enough make less heat? Why are you assuming that it's heat resistant if this is the level where you design the amount of heat resistance it has? Who did that work? Nobody, you have to do it yourself.

There is no control logic. It's analog. Logic is digital. Digital doesn't exist until we're done.

Sorry, but I've done all I can. Good luck in your search.

I didn't put any words in anyone's mouth. I said you were manifesting a zeitgeist. But honestly you're manifesting another intellectually dominant school of thought. Whereby if anyone does anything less than word for word block quote it's: "i didnt say that. You're wrong." I can absolutely characterize your speech and identify it's meaning and regurgitate it all without resorting to quotes. In fact quotes are a pretty weak form of displaying understanding.

I bet it changes based on a few factors including age, prior mobility, etc. I do a few things at my current age:

I wear Vibram "toe-shoes" so that my heel isn't lifted off the ground when I squat or do other movements and unless I'm lifting very heavy I go below parallel
I warm up by doing either some prescribed warm-ups or by getting on the air bike/rowing for a few minutes + other warm-up activities
I do the exact exercise movement I'm going to be doing if it's a movement like a snatch, clean and jerk, deadlift, squat, etc. to warm-up

I don't do any stretching before or after. It's absolutely fascinating that so many different things work for so many people.
Great questions!

- As can be seen https://docs.cozodb.org/en/latest/releases/v0.3.html, for concurrent writes about 200K QPS can be achieved with 24 threads on a pretty old server. I think it is enough for a small to medium social network.

- You can start independent instances and use them together in your user code. You can have as many as you like, but data can only be exchanged through your code: they can't talk directly to each other.

- If by git-like you mean point-in-time queries, yes that's what the feature is for. But git comes with lots of other things such as merge logic, etc. These need to be implemented outside CozoDB.

- We do use CozoDB for data storage in production systems ourselves, and we back up a lot. So far nothing disastrous has happened. Note that CozoDB does not have any meaningful concept of user/authentication/authorization (yet), so you must make sure that only trusted clients can reach it (only an issue if you use the standalone server, since the embedded DBs do not open any ports).

> Because I'm fairly positive that I was going to sign up for MDMA therapy for chronic pain in Chicago ~5 years ago because a clinic nearby offered it.

Very highly doubtful. MDMA is an amphetamine, and use of amphetamines for pain management is pretty rare. And even among amphetamines, MDMA is pretty undesireable for that purpose, due to its rapid development of tolerance compared to other amphetamines and risks of lasting negative side effects with repeated use in short durations - which rules out nearly all use cases for physical pain management.

> It's possible that was ketamine therapy

Ketamine is used to treat both acute and chronic pain, so this is much more plausible.

That used to be done. They're called "psuedolites". You'd put one somewhere on your property. It listens to the GPS satellites, and over a few hours, gets its own location very accurately by averaging error. Then it rebroadcasts a correction signal to cooperating GPS receivers nearby. Some airports have used these. They're called "ground based augmentation systems" in aviation.

The economic driver is status signals that you can show off to your peers. A home also has a multitude of opportunities to show off your status: art, appliances, garden, furniture, location, alterations, soirées, blah blah blah. Well known historically.

For most people, owning stocks cannot be as prestigious as owning a home. I agree it is for some investors, but they are the exception. Owning a stock has very limited opportunities for visibility or extra status variables.

Because defamation is still a crime and is still actionable regardless of if anyone is actually influenced by it. All you need to show to prove defamation is that the people or entity saying it knew it was false information and it was their intent to deceive people with it. It does not require any success.

I suggest you look up the history around Hustler magazine and Jerry Falwell. This is an example where no reasonable person would believe the things hustler said about Jerry Falwell therefore there was no libel or defamation against him. Because the point isn't if someone is actually influenced it's if a reasonable person could be influenced.

In the case of Fox News it is my opinion that nobody was actually influenced but as a news reporting agency spreading known false information a reasonable person could be influenced by it. My opinion that no one actually was influenced by it is because the polarization of our media is at such an extreme that only people tune in to the media they want that supports their confirmation bias.
Looking at the worst in history establishes that we have experienced much worse, and that expecting a black-swan event to last no longer than average is unsupported.
My company has been an Okta customer for several years and I'm responsible for administering it. However I don't have experience with other SSO products, so would be interested to hear what the experience is like on the other side.

The key thing for me is SCIM provisioning support, but not just that. There are quite a few apps that don't support SCIM, but Okta has built integrations for them anyway using API keys, etc. I understand you can build your own via Okta workflows also but I haven't done this.

We have oversight of all accounts linked to a given user, even if SSO is not supported by the service. Deprovisioning a user creates a task list of what should be manually eliminated also, which is great for our admin staff.

It interacts with Intune via SCEP so we can know that logins are coming from a trusted corporate device. This is mandated by some of our larger clients.

<potential-naivety>The final thing I like is that a large part of Okta's business is their IDP software (vs their Auth0 competitor they don't use). I do like specialist businesses for something like this. The software is less likely to end up in maintenance mode if it's not one product line out of hundreds.</potential-naivety>

> Since the Church considered the ’scientific’ domain to be part of its curriculum, new science was generally a threat.

I don't think that's true. Church only opposed science that was in contradiction with the Bible, which was a small minority of all science discoveries. Church never had any qualms with Newton laws or laws of conservation of mass (in chemistry) etc.

It is extremely tiny now- but definitely will be something worth thinking about when (here's hoping!) SpaceX and others reach their goals. When we run 100x or 1000x current launch capacity I don't think it's unreasonable to worry about rocket pollution.

> So I would consider a situation where a disproportionate number of judges have been appointed by one party to be skewed.

My observations concern your earlier statement "the law could require the ratios of federal judges to match the ratio of the popular vote in the most recent election". I said that had problems. The new criteria of "disproportionate number" is too subjective to provide meaningful policy.

After Lincoln was elected, and the then-new Republican Party got 39.8% of the vote, you would have let the new President replace a substantial number of existing judges?

You'll need to be careful as "party" is a bit tricky when you get to the details. If I'm a member of a state party, am I also a member of the national party?

Consider the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, created in 1944. It is NOT the US Democratic Party, but like all state Democratic parties it is affiliated with the US Democratic Party. Would party membership have changed due to the merger? Where once there were Farmer-Labor and Democratic Party judges, would some of them need to be kicked out because in 1945 they were the same party?

This could lead to all sorts of interesting ways to game the system, like a state with three Democratic Party-affiliated state parties, and bylaws that allow membership in multiple (affiliated) parties at the same time.

Or as another hack, legally abolish the party every few years and create a new one (X Party 2028, X Party 2032, etc), and allow automatic transfer of members into the new party. Poof - now every re-election the administration gets to change out any judge, because none of the existing judges were appointed by the President of X Party 2036.

What do you think this was supposed to be?
N1 got funding in 1964 and had it's first stacked test flight in 1969 (5 years). Starship was announced in 2017 (though the raptor engines in 2016) and had it's first stacked test flight today (5 years). So far development speed is the same, even with SpaceX's better technology.

Whatever technical issues N1 had, could have been resolved with enough iterations. We have no idea if Starship will work and if it does have design problems, we won't know until years from now if it fails or succeeds.

There were 135 space shuttle launches, of which 2 failed. There have been 162 launches of the F9 block 5 with 0 failures. Why do you think we have more knowledge of the long-tail probability of the Shuttle than F9?

True, few of those F9 missions were crewed, but that's the point. There's no difference between a crewed and a noncrewed F9 launch vehicle, so there's no reason to think the presence of humans would change the risk. So, you get to accumulate most of that reliability data without putting people at risk doing so.
That is so not true. Monarchy and dictatorships only need acceptance by other countries of the time to be legitimate. I mean even amongst their own people you make it sound like the british royals did not have the consent if the people to rule. They absolutley did and the people not only accepted as legitimate but also divinely ordained.

Every country in the last thousand or three years has had rules by which the military, people and ruling class elite all at least outwardly agreed upon as the basis if their governmental system. Anyone that rose to power through that system or was able to by any means change the rules is legitimate.

"Only the type of rulers I like in other countries and in different times in the past are legitimate" is a silly notion.

I briefly mentioned something related to 1) in my post earlier, but I want to add a bit.

When the recruiters stopped coming, and I started putting out more applications, I saw a nmuber of jobs. 6 months later, I open the job board, and I’m seeing the exact same crap.

I haven’t put out many applications recently, because I’m not seeing many new jobs to apply to that I’m reasonably qualified for.

Earlier in the year, I used uBlock Origin to try and cut out some of low quality “promoted” roles that seem to be a major part in making the job market seem so static. After filtering out those, there were about four non-promoted listings per page, sometimes zero.

Another issue, though it seems less common than a few years ago when remote blew up, are companies that instead of postings job that just says “Remote(US)”. They flood the job boards with an individual job posting for what seems like every goddamn MSA in the US. This particularly pisses me off when I try to sort by date posted and have to sift through pages of the same job.

Other job boards, Glassdoor in particular seem to be filled with jobs at companies with bizarre names that sound fake. I imagine some of these are crappy recruiting firms, but others seem to be written more like a direct company listing.
