I think decoupling retry logic from the “there’s something wrong” UI ends up being a better experience than tieing the UI state to the details of network retries. (For one thing, it gives you a chance to fix the “everything is broken” UI without any action on the user’s part.
This is one of the most obviously nonsense statements I’ve ever seen made.

You can vote on your government and you can move to a different country.

For average person it's easier to change the government than to change Google CEO.
Hmm? The center stage can definitely be reused, they just lost two (one on landing, one in transit on the drone ship) and had multiple missions that needed the extra performance from expending the core.
I absolutely understand that why you don’t like the price implications.

I am curious however what features you don’t want/need in the other tier
If it has no value then why don't they stop?
Yeah they could start eating the core, but my experience has been the opposite.

They are already facing fierce competition fron Gitea and sourcehut. If they start taking toys away from big open source instances like Debian, GNOME, Free desktop, et cetera, the community will migrate.
What about the scourge of forced/economic-imperative based labor and social murder?
I suggest it is wrong or even dangerous to plot unauthenticated sites.

For example: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.9465831,-2.6376033,18.96z?... shows "Crafting by Steph" in the middle of a road that sees at least 30,000 cars per day. Steph will be hit at 20-50 mph.

Here: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.9461045,-2.6390567,42m/dat... There is a business called "Napoca Taxi" listed.

That area is actually a grave yard.

I agree with Elizabeth Laraki - the colours are wrong on G maps
eMMC is such a nasty invention! We could have just had microSD cards as core storage on all these tiny thin devices! They make cards with good wear leveling.

The tech is already there, no need for soldered on stuff.

Soldering is kind of a "Worst possible solution except all the other ones" kind of technology.
You are a travel nurse?
How much cost is there to get a reused stage ready for the next flight? E.g. where does it land on the scale from "replace 30% of the parts due to wear and tear, and do a full disassembly reassembly, saving only 5% of the cost of the booster" to "full up the gas tank like a car and yolo the next ride"?

All I know if is the one tweet from musk years ago that said 90% savings. But ... musk tweets a lot of bullshit so idk

Arianespace is a shitshow. Our Yankee analogs are Boeing and Lockheed. They could each absorb unlimited funding to design substandard packaging for peanuts.
It's visible now, so your vouching worked. It seems obvious to me GP is writing about COVID-19. The US CDC lists estimated US deaths from COVID at currently 1,153,910.

Unless you have a strong familiarity with ISO/FTR markets this article will be pretty opaque.

The short version is that electricity delivery forecast is managed by a financial optimization process. Market participants (generators, line owners, and consumers) basically buy and sell their electricity in advance. Sometimes as far ahead as 2 years, all the way up to the day before (at which time the real time market takes over IIRC).

So in addition to the primary stakeholders you have financial participants that buy/sell electricity without having access to any apparatus for the generation/transmission/consumption. These participants sometimes have very manual processes for buying their contracts.

My guess would be some poor fresh grad was under supervised and transposed the source and sink address. Instead of buying at 203.40 they sold at 203.40 by reversing the source and sink.
> In my mind abs(x) = x * sign(x) which is why the above formulation seems correct.

> This is an interesting idea...how would you define sign(x) in a higher dimension?

You could think of the sign as the direction. In the 1-d case, you only have two directions. Positive sign means to the right of the origin, negative sign means to the left of the origin. But in higher dimensional case, you don't get a higher count of directions, instead direction becomes a space.

To see this analogy we can rewrite your abs(x) = x * sign(x) as x = abs(x) * sign(x). (Because 1/sign(x) = sign(x) except at 0, where the two equations agree anyway.)

Now consider that in higher dimensions, we can write x = ||x||*(x/||x||) for any vector x, where ||x|| denotes the magnitude and the term x/||x|| is the unit vector in direction of x. This term then plays the role of the sign.

A simple reflection can then still be done by multiplying this direction term with -1, which in the 2d case reflects at a line through the origin and perpendicular to the vector.

I can't comment on the Laplace transform, it's been too long since I used that.

Made in China products by Japanese ventures is fine, just like iPhone made in China. We know China is great at cost effective manufacturing. It's annoying that some "ventures" just rebadging existing Chinese products with Japan flag and minor improvement. Recently I tend to find such products in mobility area like this.
It took paper money hundreds of years before a use case was found. 15 years is very short for a new technology. I suspect that the generation that comes of age after its creation will find a use. My guess is that after 2028 we will start to see the true use cases. In any case, they are not going away.

One case that's happening now, which is very useful, is the burning of stray methane to create bitcoins. Companies are creating bitcoin rigs that can be placed near wellheads that are spewing methane into the environment since there is no profitable way to stop it or use the fuel. Bitcoin is the way to use the fuel that's being released into the atmosphere.
Thank you for the insight on the development process. Tbh, it seems a very reasonable path for the app without any economic and time pressure to succeed, considering you now have the perfect app for yourself.

It's too early to jump to conclusions without proper marketing for the app and any revenue-related metrics gathered.

The issue with delayed marketing can be that the product is too large to make changes fast and run experiments. Removing features considering committed resources would also be a challenge.

Regarding the Proxy Users, I think the idea is that customers should pay for a solution that solves a problem, not vice versa. You can install a session recording feature, watch app interactions occasionally, and do interviews with paying users (or invite active users to your podcast).
YouTube Shorts can remain unpaid, where you watch an ad after every short.
I don't hate the colours and they're now closer to real street maps. This is of course a subjective opinion as I haven't put the new colours into use to see if the desaturated scheme is more glanceable.

However there are examples of the night mode driving directions having unintuitive colours:
https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/17yv4qp/...

In this example the bright blue route (matching the directional arrow) is actually the optional path, the true path is the softer blue colour (as signalled by the turning direction at the top of the screen.)
Sponsorblock was already mentioned, but also have a look at what DeArrow does, which is allow crowdsourced titles and title cards to remove the horrible ":O" face clickbait.
So if I block the ads, I guess that makes us even.

Because they show ads to people. Do you think they should stop collecting your data just because you block their ads? I don't see why that would make any sense, they have no reason to incentivize ad block use.

It's good to document this stuff but I find that this enquiry is slightly misaligned in that they keep asking leading questions to people they don't like and not letting them ramble or even talk too quickly.

Getting everyone in the same chair is very expensive politically, get the most from it.

Cummings in particular I think was asked a lot of questions that I found unreasonable. Maybe he deserves it, who knows, but he thinks on a different level than anyone else they're going to hear from — there are loads of scientists, but that's not his schtick.
> It's more complicated than that because of the network effect. Few people host their videos elsewhere.

Yes, but these things are far from essential. Most of YouTube is entertainment, which is as fungible as it gets, and what isn't (for example repair tutorials) can usually be solved by buying repair guides or hiring professionals. There are alternatives. You might not like them, but they exist.

> Google did this to themselves and they are the one imposing everybody to play by their rules.

This is really peak absurdity. "Google made me use their service for free".

> Nobody asked them to kill their competitors.

YouTube has competition in all of its areas. They might be the leader, but they are not the singular source.

I have done some work with Kids Risk (quoted in the article) in the past, and it's been an interesting journey to watch Pakistan. The Osama bin Laden raid really screwed the GPEI in 2010 and still has knock-on effects. Thankfully the Pakistani health ministry is finally getting serious about polio again, but it's tough to rebuild that level of trust. The Taliban in Afghanistan also used to be good at vaccination, but that also changed with bin Laden.

You are free to use an adblocker. But it's completely fair for Google to refuse their services if you do.
No, it pits the entire relationship in your favor since they now don't receive anything of value from you while you still receive their service.

A trade can't be fair when only one part benefits. If you feel their services are worth nothing then stop using them.
YouTube is a service that competes unethically with others and censors wildly to further its political interests.

Some of us control our computers, instead of letting every third party do it.

Reign in unlimited military spending is not "limited government", it's "limited military". Making sure the pentagon stops "losing" trillions is not small government it's basic accountability. But you're right it's more than that. And the billionaires. But like I said, one point at a time! You've clearly read ahead of the class. And "no more pork barrels for democrats"? I said leftist, not democrat.

I still believe in state solutions to healthcare to start, since that's the topic at hand.

And yes, I know it's much bigger than the military and pentagon, but I can't exactly summarize Pikkety's Capital and ideology or the socialist manifesto by sunkara in a couple hn comments can I?

It was the Falcon 1, a small rocket with a single Merlin engine on its first stage. The Falcon 9 is a serious rocket with 9 on the same engine (hence the name) which came later.

As for the contract, it was a $1.6B contract, not small. And sure, it wasn't a grant, something was expected in return, but in practice, it was essentially the same, SpaceX wouldn't have been able to survive without it, and grant or contract, had they missed the chance, it would have been the end. Also, the US regularly gives new contracts to SpaceX, and I suspect at an inflated price compared to purely commercial launches. In theory, these are not subsidies, but in practice, I can't imagine NASA and the US government not do anything in their power to keep SpaceX healthy as they don't have anything better by far.
The google maps visual design always lacked contrast to me. I don't feel anything for the new design, but I will definitely not miss the old visual. Weird they waited 15 years before trying to better it.

Yesterday Jonathan Blow was complaining about some Maps app on his Twitter feed, but not sure if it was Google Maps or another product.

I do agree Google Maps can be annoying to use. But other Google products get more annoying to use as time goes on as well. I have huge annoyances with Gmail and Google Calendar. This in context of my iPhone SE (which, I guess, has a "small" screen size, so perhaps related to my issues).

- Every single time I visit the Gmail login page, it always tries to upsell me to use the freaking app, that I don't want to use.

- At least on my phone screen, the button to dismiss the upsell page is covered by other UI elements. Only way to get rid of it, is to refresh the page. Not sure if this is a dark pattern to nudge people towards the app.

- I have multiple Gmail accounts (2 company accounts from different companies, my own company account, a private account and a spam mail account). Sometimes I am logged into one Gmail account and want to see the calendar for another account. It's very hard to use the top right button to switch accounts. Inside web-based calendar app almost impossible.

And an annoyance I have in general these days, with many web-based apps, is the constant security crap to deal with (2FA stuff mainly).

... I long for a simpler web like we had 10-15 years ago ...

Of course you don't. But neither does Google have the obligation to serve you if you don't pay and don't watch ads.

You’re also stealing from the content creators who rev share with Google. No one seems to mention that a majority of the ad revenue Google gives to content creators. If you makes you feel better, you can keep thinking it’s Google.
I’m trying to figure out to find a niche. There a very few interesting niche roles that aren’t either looking for already established domain experts.
Sure but the post I was responding to starts with "Would you use the same justification for pirating movies? Or for stealing from large supermarkets?", that's what I was responding to. Also in this context the situation is amusing to me given that YouTube's early success was built on pirated content. That continued for a long time even after Google's acquisition.

With respect to server/network resources, like I said Google is free to restrict access as they see fit.
If they do, I'll switch back to Firefox

While I can’t confirm since I haven’t worked there and am not in the industry, I’ve read that one of the biggest issues Blue Origin is dealing with is trouble with retaining talent. One article I read couple years back called it a revolving door if I recall correctly.

If that’s true there’s likely major managerial or structural issues that are gumming things up.
Yes - the fact that the suggestion removed the useful words for people who don't interpret samey symbols all day spoke volumes.
So why don't they put that towards their own capital in terms of expanding retention capacity?
> But how many more decades until ESA finally has a launch vehicle stack with a fully reusable first stage? It’s like theyre still living in the 70s.

Their wider strategy was pretty strange too. I especially boggled at how they bought Zagat to help with trusted restaurant reviews, ran it into the ground, then sold it again.

Checking my memory on Wikipedia, I just learned that they did exactly the same to Frommer’s! Although in that case it was less than a year before the Frommer family bought the name back.

> The US government "funds" SpaceX in the same way you fund Apple when you buy an iPhone or Shell when you buy gas.

It's a bit different. Without the US gov as a early customer taking lots of risk, they company wouldn't exist. Apple or Shell wouldn't change even if 100,000 customers decided not to buy their products/service anymore.

> The first two Falcon 1 launches were purchased by the United States Department of Defense under a program that evaluates new US launch vehicles suitable for use by DARPA. The first three launches of the rocket, between 2006 and 2008, all resulted in failures, which almost ended the company. Financing for Tesla Motors had failed, as well, and consequently Tesla, SolarCity, and Musk personally were all nearly bankrupt at the same time.

Depends on the niche language one chooses, I think. But in the case of Clojure, a lot of companies are willing to hire you even without any previous Clojure knowledge, so long as you are otherwise an experienced developer and are interested in learning. Then, once you have some real experience with the niche language, getting new jobs gets much easier with recruiters reaching out to you and more companies opening their doors.

This blog post lists companies that hire developers for Clojure roles without any previous Clojure experience: https://jobs-blog.braveclojure.com/2022/03/24/long-term-cloj...

I'd imagine it would be similar for other niche languages, but I can't say for sure. All I know is to try to find a way to be a bit more special in your field as that seems to (in my case at least) result in better treatment.
