The weight of the spacecraft in orbit is also extremely small, so the lift produced from the free flow hitting the surface at an angle is non-negligible. But as all weight is created by the drag from the same flow, reducing the cross-section is more beneficial. That's why it was designed to match the perfect orbital velocity at zero AoA, instead of using the lift.
I think it's astonishing the thing continued to fly after having parts of it explode and random engines seemed to shut off.

With the energies and margins involved staying in one piece through a failure is both amazing and critically important.

I'm curious about their launch cadence after this.
Thanks for the feedback!

Sounds like the SAML federation is pretty education focused, so maybe FusionAuth isn't a good fit. Maybe something more open source like Shibboleth would help? Seems like a tough spot, hope you find something.

I went to a talk by Heather Flanagan[0] about how the browser third party cookie changes are going to impact the education space, and the education sector does have some special requirements.

I will say that we do sometimes move items on our roadmap around and can prioritize certain features. This requires a customer to commit to contract of a certain size, of course. Our sales people would love to chat if this is you :) .

Well I didn't see that. My apologies!
Well the flight plan was to throw both stages into the ocean, so they couldn't have been overly confident about getting that far.
There were pdp-11s everywhere in the 1970s, and the designs were published (I have the schematics in my desk drawer here on microfiche). They were built from off the shelf TTL chips that again could be bought everywhere (things like UARTs often did use an LSI chip, bit harder to get hold of but still readily available) So it's inconceivable that a state level actor couldn't easily produce clones, even without ever having seen one! All the stories about "campaign to get its hand on American minicomputers" etc is theater.
You are very brave or didn't read the room :)

I think this could have been more successful
As a thought - unlike the current stable build - our nightly builds can open multiple "Browse Data" tabs at the same time. Aka: view multiple tables simultaneously.

We're really overdue for making a new official release, but the nightly builds are pretty stable in the meantime. :)
All those writes happen in big blocks with other updates, so the number of writes per update is still relatively low. Compare that to e.g. postgres where a single update causes quite a few page writes that probably don't get batched up (add new row version in heap, update old row version in heap, maybe update indexes, vacuum old tuple in heap, maybe vacuum indexes).
Thanks, that makes sense. Didn’t realize how many engines failed but when you look at T+1:22, it looks like 7 engines are already out.
I can't believe I am alive to witness this.

I can imagine 100 years from now a SpaceX plaque will be in some museum timeline with this very event being one of many "failures". It's so hard to put that into perspective when you are actually living these events. I think partly because society has been conditioned to expect success out of all things when in reality true technological progress is rarely a straight line.
Not to my knowledge at this point in time, though I wish there was. Gopher and other small web tech seem closer to the owned platform idea.

I would love not having to rent my platform from anyone, but our current system does not support owned domains for a non-technical user who does not have the tens of thousands of dollars to apply for owning their own TLD.

Being permitted to 'misgender' is relevant to criticizing policies that allow males to compete in women's and girl's sports.

If you're citing one of the many examples of when this has happened, but are compelled to use 'she' rather than 'he' to refer to the male athlete, then it rather dilutes the point being made.
Ha, great question! Coincidentally, at Weaviate, we are thinking about this too! There are a few ways to do this with AirByte (https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/destinations/weaviate/) or (potentially) with Spark (https://github.com/weaviate/spark-connector). Would love to collaborate on this; feel free to reach out over Slack or so.
I'm not proposing something, I'm describing it. This is what SpaceX is doing, and it's quite successful.

And you can look all the way back to their little hopper version of the Falcon 9 and see that this strategy has been the key to them undercutting the launch market significantly.

My prediction: SpaceX will have a 5th 100% successful launch of Starship before the SLS has a 5th successful launch. They'll just have ten not-100%-success launches before then.
Or more probably it can be a combination of both (and possibly more) explanations. There is no way to know, all we can do is speculate.

But to think that this is just chaos theory is as naive as to think these behaviours are fully planned. That would mean that tiktok has no business strategy nor preferred outcomes to optimize towards.
My introduction to PC Engines was finding a strange embedded PC board in a pile of electronics scrap. (I think it would turn out to be an ALIX board.)

Connecting to its serial port brought up a Linux prompt, but I didn't know the password. I popped the compact flash card into a reader; maybe I could see it in the password file in /etc? Hmmm... seems to be encrypted. Well I have write access too; can I just... make the password empty?

I was fairly new to Linux at this time, so the fact that that worked was a huge boost to my confidence. I played around with putting different minimal Linux distros on it, and just generally having fun fooling around with a tiny x86 SBC.

When I needed a new router for my home network, there was no question but that I was going to get one of these (though I got the newer APU2 board of course).

I can't believe PC Engines is shutting down! End of an era.
> I personally think the first man down the ladder on mars should be a woman

Shouldn't it just be the commander of the mission?

The way you speak is so condescending to women, as though they wouldn't have the ability to earn their place and it has to be handed to them. I can't speak to your intentions but it's not equality if you thought it was.
> The commentary around this frames the situation that cold hearted capitalists don’t understand the feelings of employees. Or some sort of emotional issue.

Uh, not really. The only one emotions we are talking about here are the CEO's, and how they are impacting communication with employees.

> The reality is the company is failing, can’t pay people what you don’t have.

There are good ways to communicate this reality to your employees. If you think what the CEO did is a good way, then I wish you good luck.
Decentralized stuff like .onion, Ethereum Name Service, Namecoin, ...
I mean, that’s basically just a judgement call of how many users leave their start menu ads enabled. Obviously if you leave them enabled you’re going to find them more intrusive than App Store ads, and if you disable them you’re going to find them less intrusive than App Store ads.
That's exactly engineering. A complex system seldom has a 100% success on first launch, all engineering products are incremental success. There are thousands of small factors that can deviate a live test from their theoretical assumptions. The fact that they have got past the first hurdle for a completely untested product is worthy of appreciation. Just a few years back, everyone would have unanimously applauded the launch. But now, people are letting their personal bias about the CEO cloud their judgement about the achievements of the engineers working on the product.
> Alcohol

I think the real issue [EDIT with trying to restrict alcohol] is that alcohol is so easy to produce. I've got some "tea wine" brewing ATM that consists of tea, sugar, and bread yeast. You could literally make hard apple cider with just pressed apple juice in a jar with a lid loose enough to let the CO2 escape; the apples will have wild yeast on them already. No idea how to make MDMA, but I presume it's nowhere near that easy.

The engagement on HN tends to be due to interest in story but also time of day and other stories and specific wording of title and other fickle factors. I find that HN has a lot of interest in freedom of expression and how it interacts with banking sector, but sometimes topics slip nonetheless.
Unlike crypto.... agents can actually DO things that people find valuable.
As you point out, "success" depends entirely on your goals for the task.

SpaceX said their goal was to get off the launch pad going into this, which indeed may have been setting a low bar for success. However, there is no other alternative definition.

If you are tasked with recording X, and anything else beyond is bonus, doing X is success.
>Like all Proton services, Proton Pass will be open source upon release.

https://proton.me/blog/proton-pass-security-model So the beta isn't free software, but the release will be? I don't understand why you'd do that, surely the beta is when you most want people to try and break things, but the rest of their products do seem to be in their repos so it doesn't seem like a completely bullshit claim. https://github.com/ProtonMail

As long as the trajectory of the vehicle stays within the "safe trajectory box", the range safety officer has no reason to blow the rocket up.

SpaceX acquired a huge amount of data that would have otherwise been lost if the RSO was "quick on the trigger."

Example of a different rocket failure where the range safety officer let the rocket survive until it exceeded the safe trajectory box:

NSFW ads are never 100% reliably detected or voluntarily flagged, and it only takes one screnshot of Wholesome Brand™ next to someone's penis for it to be a PR issue.
What provoked this response? The headline makes no assertions about success or failure. It is extremely literally a description of what occurred.

It’s one thing to feel defensive about a misleading headline. This is just fanboyism.
That's a pretty simple solution: if some service inevitably deteriorates in quality when run for a profit, then run it as a non-profit! I mean, isn't that how imgur actually started? The Reddit team wanted a decent image hosting so they made it and just accepted that running it would cost them money so they'll have to finance it from the profits of their main business. But then apparently profit-optimization kicked in...

There are quite a lot of examples in the past (all the way to the Roman empire) of rich people spending their money on community projects just because they wanted some things to exist, not to make even more money.
I'm wondering what the environmental impact of all of these exploding rockets is though. Surely they won't be able to fish every piece of the rocket out of the ocean, along with all of the fuel.
I guess but it’s not a traditional database, if anything that can store data is a database then a human should count too
They did have to weld over the pez dispenser, though. Have they sorted that out on the new rockets? A blow-away structural component or something?
As of their releases from version 8 1Password went really downhill.

They no longer support offline / non-cloud vaults and force a recurring subscription.

Beyond that it shows the kind of attitude that's present within their company now - it's all about cutting costs to sell as many recurring subscriptions to pay off their VC funding and investors.
Exactly. That is the real issue.

This of course also means that China not being a democracy is just convenient to make them the 'bad guys', but is not really the issue and I expect things would be exactly the same if China was a democracy.
You're right - movies do not function as a reflection of reality. The Gold Rush is no more a documentary than Nosferatu.

But you can say the same about Michelangelo's David. An artist's output - and preserving it, is about preserving the culture, not a snapshot in time. "What did the produce, and why?" are compelling questions to ask.
I think HN likes to minimize the individual effort and success of great leaders because it plays against their personal beliefs. And I say this as someone who doesn’t like Musk very much.
> Finding a need and filling it was very lucrative

Any tips on how to find a project idea? What worked for you?
One or two engines looked like they actually exploded in flight, it just kept going like nothing happened. Absolutely amazing.
So yeah OK by that metric if a rocket lifted to a height of 1m above the launch pad, so technically being beyond it, before spontaneously disassembling, it's technically a success. Not 'moving goalposts'.
> that American obsession with prescripted medication seems maddening

Yes but don't confuse short term use of medication to help with therapy with long-term to help sell pills.

The first can be beneficial, the latter is very profitable. And because of the profit motive, millions of poor people with serious conditions go untreated.

What is really bad is the complete absence of any public debate about prevention. Individuals are completely blamed for mental health issues and society gets a pass.

> and are constantly challenged about their self-identification.

Huh? What are you talking about??
Is it normal that 5 or 6 out of 33 engines didn't ignite?
I guess their OS could defend itself from something like this by actively deleting any potentially compromising customer data as soon as it loses it's connection to the internet. No idea if it does though.
The condition is as precise as possible "pairs of distinct integers" is not equal to "distinct pairs of integers". Don't blame the writer when you fail to read what is written.
I focus on the external IO.

Once I'm convinced I have tests for most code paths(Unit if I'm being fussy, automated integration tests if I'm being lazy), I mentally go through and look at everything impure and think "What if that operation fails", at a fine grained level.

Sometimes I even put garbage code in, to simulate the failure.

If I do 3 network requests, I want to be sure that it won't crash if the internet goes down between the 2nd and 3rd, or if the drive runs out of space between writing the first and second file.

And of course, since everything I'm actually interested in working on is large and complex, I rely pretty heavily on reuse, which means my first line of defense is what other people say about stuff. If Google and Amazon trust it, I might to, if it's got 4 stars on GitHub, I'll probably stay away unless there's no alternative and it's small enough to debug myself without unreasonable effort.

I also like to have the computer help me with the reasoning as much as possible. My likes and dislikes as far as languages are heavily influenced by how well the linters work. If something is too freeform and allows lots of stuff then linter doesn't understand, I'll pass on that.
Highly recommend MDMA as a personal experience. I did not have PTSD or trauma to work through, but I realized how much I could love other people. It's an experience worth having at least once in your life.

SpaceX is doing the classic statistic thing[0], making spacecraft stronger where they explode until they don't. It's more like a hyperparameter search and less like QA for individual parts.

It's 16 + 6 (part of the restart contract) + 18 = 40.

And that doesn't count the 2nd stage which, for 10 flights, should be 3 * 1 + 7 * 4 = 31 RL-10s.

But yeah - a very different architecture.
Isn't that another electron "app"?
Now that Twitter has removed protection for trans individuals in their hate speech policy, are people who use Twitter thus transphobic? It's a stretch and a broad stroke. Whilst I understand the sentiment, it's making a lot of assumptions. A lot of people simply follow x religion because that's what they were brought up with, but they aren't a religious extremist or bigot.

Look at the number of Muslims who drink alcohol for a solid example, despite it being forbidden. Personal ideology is exactly that—personal.

If someone commits an atrocity in the name of god, is everybody who practices that religion also a violent extremist who hates anyone gay or female?
Saturn V was 110m tall and 140t in the 1960s.
Imgur changed hands, new owners took a more heavy handed approach with moderation policies, which removed NSFW-ish content, partly because they were deemed sexist, partly to appease advertisers and to make Appstore folks happy. This ultimately fostered the emergence of an insular, far-left leaning community.

The fuel is just methane (which mainly burned?) and oxygen, although I suppose this version did also use hydraulic fluid.
The classic Gen X parent “over-medicated child” scapegoat is stimulant medication for ADHD. It needs to be said that the reality for better or worse is that compared to other psych meds the efficacy is pretty damn high, and the entirely justified popular opinion in the ADHD community is that dealing with ADHD without stimulants is often like pushing a rock up a hill.

And, sure, argue that ADHD’s mere categorisation as a ‘bad thing’ is a reflection of society’s expectations of a person. But…so what? I’d love a socialist utopia. This is a big part of the reason I’d never ever move to the US in the first place. But I damn well still take my Vyvanse and don’t look down on anyone else that does so because we are all still cogs, even me as a fairly privileged tech worker.

Stroking your chin and saying “yeah, but we live in a society!” belongs right at the top of the metaphorical food pyramid. If you do it any more than rarely, you’re going to quite rightfully come across as a privileged dick.

This is notwithstanding the wider point that this whole thing is about using MDMA as a short-term therapy aid.
Referring to a male as 'he' isn't really in the same ballpark as throwing around racial slurs and so on.

When applied to a male who calls himself a woman, it's merely a philosophical disagreement over whether said male can transform himself to female simply by decree.

"You want to reduce the carbon footprint of your food? Focus on what you eat, not whether your food is local ...

Transport is a small contributor to emissions. For most food products, it accounts for less than 10%, and it’s much smaller for the largest GHG emitters. In beef from beef herds, it’s 0.5%.

Very little food is air-freighted; it accounts for only 0.16% of food miles.

Many of the foods people assume to come by air are actually transported by boat – avocados and almonds are prime examples. Shipping one kilogram of avocados from Mexico to the United Kingdom ... is only around 8% of avocados’ total footprint. Even when shipped at great distances, its emissions are much less than locally-produced animal products."
