Yes, this seems to be one of the issues. Here is a talk by ISRO Chairman S Somanath at Indian Institute of Science (IISc) about the same and what they added. He goes into details of what went wrong. These are based on my limited understanding. One of the thrusters had an issue and got activated for longer (or may be activation profile of thrusters at its extreme's were different from modeled). They had a narrow landing region selected as final position (even one possible point). So now their control system tried to correct this but the algorithm had a bug and that caused it to be further delayed. At this point the correction required, i.e; thrusters to be activated, was outside the tolerance levels. So finally ended up with 50m/s vertical speed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ2sNRP1opY&t=1440s

With new one, they did couple of things. Larger area to be selected for landing based on camera input. Escape sequence to more achievable points, if something like this happens again. They increased the tolerance from 10 degrees to 25 degrees and guessing fixed the bug in code. They also did some smoothening of the trajectory for different phases to make it more continuous. I think they also made other changes in engines among other things and a whole host of testing.
No one has interest in everything that goes viral or gets popular. I mean I just tune it out, if its not interesting to me.

Which means whatever is currently at the top of any list (eg obama or trump), the Attention Economy throws up (including HN) doesn't really means what people think it means. There are lots of people who are paying attention to something totally different, cause whats available on the buffet is endless. Meanwhile those who go viral (ala obama and trump) think they are having impact.
> similarly well on most of the tests

From your link they checked exactly one thing: shivering response to cold following breathing exercises. Both twins did exactly as well on this one test. That's not "most tests". It's one test. And personally, being able to withstand cold is the least interesting claimed benefit of breathing techniques.
I have both installed. I use macwhisper because the GUI is convenient.
>Historical revisionism. For more than 30 years prior to iOS, general-purpose computing platforms were mostly open with no vendor-controlled store.

That's quite the historical revisionism.

Phones weren't "general-purpose computing platforms" for the most part of those 30 years (Gordon Gecko's phone didn't have apps). Nor where they considered as such.

And there were tons of capable of "general purpose computing" popular devices in those 30 years with closed markets or even restricted acccess to the SDKs themselves, almost all game consoles for example.
My reference in this case is Germany, not the US, so the processes are a bit different but the point stands: it's difficult to use the exact same plans for two different houses in different places, let alone if you want to make any modifications as those may have knock-on effects you're not aware of. To be fair, a lot of those were not in the architect's plans in our case.

But you're right that you can basically get a permit for nearly anything if your pockets are deep enough and the restrictions are often arbitrary. That's why I mentioned fast-tracking: the area we built in had fairly strict requirements compared to houses only a few blocks away and any deviation would have required a costly and lengthy approval process (measured in months rather than weeks) so staying within the requirements was primarily a financial decision.

Totally. The difference between the statement "i don't know what you do" and the request "I think it's important that you spend time explaining to me what it is you do" is vast.

But it's easy to read the first and hear the second.
That's a good point. The problem isn't the naming of software engineers, it's the practices that need correcting.

I think GP means “exists” as in “doesn’t require a third party to complete the value transfer.”

If you give me a $20 bill, I can immediately exchange it for a case of beer at the bodega with no extra steps. If you give me a money order for $20, I need to find someone who is willing and/or able to convert that money order into a $20 bill before I can buy my beer.
I mean everything has a cost but quadrupling the number of users is the benefit.

There’s no reason why an app can’t work as well either via command line or via GUI. The whole point of architecturing your software is so you don’t write something kludgy.
Yeah, my metric for whether cryptocurrencies were useful is the continued existence of PayPal. Anyone selling things has horror stories about them so the bar is pretty low to compete with them, but the blockchain pitch of “slower, costs more, less safe but at least it’s hard to use” hasn’t met even that level.
My biggets gripe with working alongside data scientists (using python) is the way everything is named with terrible acronyms. Virtually everything in this repo is named with a 3 letter acronym.

Because a 80/20 rule is much better than having to chose between "everything is controlled" or "nothing is controlled", and that's essentially the two choices we have.

It works just fine in most of europe since a very long time, and frankly people insisting to be paid in cash and then going out of their way to fully declare the taxes and source of the money is even weirded, why not take the easier shortcut.

Of course, maybe it's linked to how strange sending money seems to still be in some circumtances in the US ? Reading about Venmo and the likes is just surprising to me, a 10 minutes SEPA wire is free here, and as good as cash.

Though it's disappointing to see simulation, it makes sense as there is no external vehicle to capture the live video and stream it. The lander cameras are showing realistic video though.

In principle, it should be clearly stated which is real and which is sim.

4 yrs at current company, flexible job with a small team. family commitments definitely affect my ability to focus beyond my day job.

If I could summarize how I feel out of my depth. When I encounter something I'm unfamiliar with I often feel like I've limited my self and played it safe. I feel I should be diving into these uncomfortable feelings and learning new things but it also seems vast and intimidating. Which often has me questioning why I want to do this work at all in the first place?

As for a new job, I applied to some new roles recently and found the interviews challenging. Which obviously is it's own thing I need to work on.
I'm not sure if I would call it odd given there are similar laws in place in some EU countries.
Precisely. If you want text labels and you're trying to sell the same washing machine in Japan and Germany, you've just given the user interface designer the challenge of writing labels where there's a 10x difference in the average length of the symbol.

Making up novel hieroglyphics and letting the user memorize them is just cheaper.
Not fine art it says, and 'many artists and art critics still saw it as a threat', I think that's to my point.

You are ignoring the tens of thousands of hours pre-built builders put into streamlining designs that can be put on almost any plot of land. Think of it as downloading a piece of software and saying "oh it just works everywhere" while ignoring the engineering time that went into testing and bug fixing on every platform.

Regardless of what you see as a casual outside observer, an architect and civil engineer are putting their stamps on each set of blueprints for each construction site.
The EU system is going to be based on Ideal, which is the NL system already in place for instant payments.
What I find really unfair in these situation is that the government is banning something but not really offering any alternative.
There are plenty of transactions where using large amounts of cash is perfectly legitimate and the best option. What is the Dutch government suggesting here? Personal Checks have the obvious issue that the issuer can just default on them long after they have received the good or service.
Cashiers checks solve that problem but you have to pay a fee of a few dozens euros/dollars to get them and they are cumbersome to get (and you can't change the amount if you need to).
Wire transfers suffer from the same problem basically.
Credit/Debit cards are controlled by private entities and being able to receive payment from them is hard and costly to setup.
So what's the alternative to cash for payments over 3k?

Elasticsearch: Comparison of New and Old Primary Election Algorithms
The sensor data is a reliable low-entropy indicator. The engines are probably cutoff based on the same data (most probably a set of load sensors on the legs). If the data indicates that the engine has cutoff, the craft is stationary and if the data is still streaming, then it's a pretty good indicator that it worked as expected. I would trust it more than the video - especially when the video is lagging heavily.

PS: I have worked extensively on something related. Video is good to have and helps in post-flight analysis. However, it can also mislead sometimes. Sensor data gives you a much clearer initial picture.

In backend dev, it's almost non-negotiable for what I would consider to be obvious reasons but I still see a learning curve for developers coming from self-taught or bootcamp backgrounds.

On the frontend, I guess you could make the argument that it's not as relevant but I still don't fully buy that after watching the last ten years in frontend development trends with React, etc. The whole thing just seemed like a way to escape the basics of dealing with web servers, basic HTTP, server-side development in "icky blue-collar" languages (anything not-JS or TS), deployments, SQL, etc.

Everyone has their biases and I'm no exception but this has been my experience.
Yeah. I think having a system where society is responsible would be best. Instead of private institutions that charge the tax payers. Systems where through hard work and service to the community they can learn to survive. Those that are a threat to the community can be given their own. This was the original idea behind these prisons. Only wall of the ones who would physically harm others until deemed they are no longer a threat. It’s a mental health issue and not a criminal vs non-criminal black & white situation as the layman to the law would have you believe.

It’s not about what is right or just, it’s about what you can prove. And us Americans love a good outlier to form stereotypes about a peoples.
Doesn’t this only apply to individual transactions?

Only it’s very weird to just assume that this might apply to bank deposits…
What's your point? I literally said "renewable hydrocarbons will be a better alternative".

I'm saying that hydrogen is a bad option, but if e.g. this renewable propane turns out to cost $1000/litre then hydrogen wins by default. It wouldn't be that surprising, current synthfuel is expensive AF. And this new headline hasn't been commercialized yet, so it might not be viable after all.

The benefit of hydrogen fuel is that, while it works poorly, it does work and is already in use today, in e.g. forklifts. It was in use decades ago, in fact. It's boring and low-risk, if we can't find anything good.

Tell me you don't know much about how payments are done outside USA without saying so directly.

All of the above are very likely done electronically in Netherlands.

Denmark has an even lower limit (€2700) and there has been no problems with this. Denmark no longer supports payments using checks.

I've never heard of anybody being paid wages in cash in Denmark. It's so uncommon that the Danish IRS even had to explain it is actually possible to do so.
Of course people spend that regularly, but not with cash.

On a light note: There is a difference between micro-wave meditation and slow-cook meditation! Personally, I'm a slow-cook kind of guy. This article seems to be describing various ways to short-cut or accelerate the process, and I'm not sure of the wisdom of that game plan.

One important aspect of meditation practice for me has been the gentle unpacking of suppressed trauma. Thomas Keating refers to this as the evacuation of the unconscious. In my experience this is an evaporative process. With gentleness and patience, this process happens naturally and organically over time.

Inner psychological defenses and coping mechanisms tend to fade away as they become less needed, because the inner demons they were containing have evaporated and are no longer lurking in one's subconscious. But trying to accelerate the process and crash the door down before one is ready via some artificial short-cut may not be advisable for some people.
conceptually yes, computationally no. For starters, no tricky rules to observe when multiplying, but when dividing? oh boy, we best not put zeros wherever we please or we shit the bed real quick. On top of that, you ever multiplied integers into non-integers? I haven't. Real easy to get real fuck numbers REAL fast if you're not careful when dividing. Add in floating points? forget about it. Wanna multiply to some big number using only small primes? easy! wanna divide down to smallest possible prime factors? good luck, buddy. Division is a whole different ball game. Cryptography relies on that fact.
I'd be curious if it's at all interesting from a technical perspective. It was impressive in the 60s and 70s because a lot of new things needed to be discovered and understood to make it happen. But now a days.. are there really technical aspects that would not be covered in a typical engineering course?

I get it's very expensive and hence difficult to pull off - but this makes it comes off as mostly nationalism and a big display of disposable income (which for a country with so much poverty is .. something)
You need to think architecture instead of software development.

The same way an architecture would be wise to converse with software developers to start building a mental model of their industry, so should you in the reverse.

At least in NL there is no such thing as a 5 day hold on a transfer. Typically these are instant, at worst next business day, and if you use something like "payment request" or "tikkie" all it involves is sending the buyer a link or posting a QR code somewhere to allow them to send money directly, instantly, to your account.

No chance of making errors in the bank nr, you can pre-specify the required amount in the request. No chance of making an error counting out 3K or more in cash notes.

Within the NL banking/payment landscape I'd argue that large cash transactions are more bothersome for everyone involved. (well, unless involving a bank is bothersome to either of the parties, but if that is the case we're probably entering "dubious transaction" or "dubiously sourced money" territory..)

How are we not more critical of credit card companies for pushing this?

They take 3% of the transaction. Of course they have a vested interest in eliminating cash.
It depends, do they have Netflix in the afterlife?
Yes.

One of my banks forbids making bank transfers of over 10,000 EUR. The other is not far behind.

Even then, sometimes they simply decide that they're not going to allow you to make bank transfers to certain perfectly legitimate accounts. There is no way to override that.

For the past couple of days I've been trying to set up an automatic monthly transfer for paying my rent and my bank is not allowing me because it's "exceeding the allowable daily limit", even though I haven't done any transfers or significant payments lately, and my rent is way below the 10,000 EUR limit.

You also can't withdraw large sums of money easily.

Furthermore, even when they allow these large transfers (which presumably would require you to physically visit a branch which might be in a different country or even continent), it's not uncommon to charge a not insignificant percentage of that money as a fee. This is significantly more common for large transfers than for small ones.

Large inbound transfers can be even more of a hassle, as banks often require you to provide documents justifying why you're receiving that money, which not only might be difficult in some cases (even when you're not doing anything illegal), but also invades your privacy and can be a significant security risk in some situations.

All of this basically makes banks a prison for your money, which not even you can access easily.

And besides, all that is assuming that you are even able to open a bank account.

There are many reasons for why opening a bank account is hard or even impossible in many cases.

And believe me, this doesn't happen in just one or two banks, it's quite common procedure in practically every bank, and increasingly so.

The USD $100 note was introduced in 1914, and at that time was equivalent to several months' wages for an average citizen.

If currency note denominations were to keep up with inflation, today the Fed would be printing $3000 bills. Yet $100 is still all that we have, effectively making cash transactions less and less feasible every year.
