> The US government keeps funding SpaceX through a number military and civilian contracts

The US government funds satellite/space stuff generally. Look at how much money has been spent on DoD polar orbit, MEO (GPS, etc) and geostationary orbit satellite development, construction, launch costs and associated earth station construction over the past 20 years. Mostly from traditional DoD contractors like Boeing and United Launch Alliance. Throwing some money at SpaceX is actually quite "new".

If you stop building any highly technical thing for a long period of time, you lose the institutional knowledge base and engineers/technicians who can do it. The UK had a great deal of trouble and delays when they re-started nuclear submarine construction after a 15+ year gap with the Astute class, because everyone who was involved in that industry had gone and done something else or retired. It's pretty logical from a national-security point of view that the Europeans and ESA want to maintain a minimum level of capability to launch stuff on their own, even if it's not as "good" as a re-usable Falcon 9 / Falcon Heavy.

Almost all of spaceXs launches are to launch their own sats. Simply put if their costs were as high as other providers they couldn't afford to do it. Other providers costs are out of control.

I used to think like you do. But now I think, Logan2 will have your memory, it should even think "well that's done, now where's my wife, she said she'll meet me and after this procedure we'll go get ice cream.". Or things like "Ah yeah I got to deal with my brother, he said something hurtful and we need to fix this conflict.". And your "soul" should not notice anything being different.

If the copies are identical, shouldn't they generate the same thoughts, be triggered by the same things, like the smell of the wife's perfume or be e.g. irrationally angry at someone revving their car, and are we aware enough to think "Hang on, something's different?".

To be technical about it, it's like having a virtual machine's state be copied onto a new host system, I think even the process called awareness or soul is a result of our software/hardware configuration, and nothing external, and the awareness would be an identical copy.
Ah I didn't know the original comment was about "production"
I think they did. But that does not mean they drop everything they already have much further in the pipeline as if launch capability between now and whenever they have caught up wasn't part of what they are paid for.
Well yeah, we’re finite beings so the things “like us” tend to be finite as well — what we study in physics.

That's not a great example given OpenSSL versions are famously backwards-incompatible. Older versions get ABI-compatible security patches because people put in the time to backport all of them to every version still supported, in many cases by distro package maintainers. It's exactly the situation libraries should generally avoid, because there are maintainance costs for older versions of the library as well as migration costs for all of its users.

But that isn't a fair trade, you argued that your data is worth enough to them that you should be allowed to use their server resources without anything extra from you. But that isn't true, every user like you costs them much more money than they earn.

In such a situation where one part pays for the other parts benefits, you should expect the part that just loses out to try to end the trade. And that is what we see happening here, youtube tries to block you since youtube doesn't want you as a user, since you lose them money.

Ah, that was news to me, so Amazon Vega is predicted to be some sort of immutable OS with web apps. It seems they are thinking of starting some Chrome OS resembling thing. iOS also intended to only have Web apps and look where we are now. I don't have high hopes for OS developed for Fire devices, it will be soaked in DRM and filled with ads.
Yeah I think youtube is well worth paying for. That said, there are other websites that immediately throw up anti-adblock gates asking for money before I've even read the site at all. I just instantly leave those sites.

No, I will not endure ads to "sample" your site. If you want to charge for it then great, I applaud you, but you need a way to let have a trial or some way to know if they want to sign up to pay, and also set the price right. Your little niche website is not the same value as youtube or netflix.

Prions are just naked proteins. They're scary because that makes them resistant against normal sterilizers like alcohol (nothing to dehydrate), heat (simple enough to not denature easily I guess), radiation (no DNA to damage), etc., but since they're just naked organic molecules, just stick stuff in a strong oxidizer (bleach) for a few minutes if you have a reason to be worried about them.

But also, you probably shouldn't have prions just floating around your environment in the first place.

Well along those same lines, making a commit doesn't move HEAD, it's still pointing at the same branchname as before.

The problem is that the thing that Git calls a branch does not identify a specific path. Look at OP's example again: if you conceptualize branches as paths, then CA/DB and CB/DA are distinct ways to divide that graph into branches. But in Git there is no way to represent that distinction (at least, not as branches).

If you want to sleep with different people on a regular or semi-regular basis, you should be getting STI checks, and you should be practicing safe sex. That is a basic element of being a decent person.

What you're saying is that I am shaming someone for bad driving when I tell them they should stop at red lights. After they've repeatedly run red lights.

If you are having sex with other people, you have a duty to them to ensure that you aren't transmitting a variety of different diseases and illnesses, at least not without consent. Many STIs are easily and quickly, detected and treated, but many others are permanent and carry life long risks, and if you are too lazy or "embarrassed" to get tested, then you have no business sleeping with other people.
Fact checking is more than just acertaining the truth of the facts. It's checking whether there's omissions or deliberate emphasis on outliers.

Because there is effectively no way to store energy at scale, prices are extremely volatile, like from $1 to $1000 in five minutes.

If you want to buy a solar panel with a useful life of 10 years there’s basically no way to estimate how much revenue it will make. But if I promise to pay you $10 for that energy all year, you have some idea if your purchase makes sense.

The idea is to buffer changes in price. Started with crops originally iirc. Say I know I need 1 ton of seed for planting. It normally costs $5,000/ton. I am concerned that the rat epidemic might cause a seed shortage. It does. 1 ton of seed next year is worth $20,000. Because I purchased the future of 1 ton of seed for $5,000, I am not affected by this.

Made up numbers obviously, as I know someone is just waiting to “well akshually” me.

Gödel's first incompleteness theorem just guarantees that for every system of axioms that is computable and "strong enough", an undecidable sentence exists.

For systems we actually use, such as ZFC or PA, we know a number of actually "meaningful" examples such as the Continuum Hypothesis, which is independent of ZFC. But of course, you can always just add this hypothesis (or its negation) as an axiom.

Gödel's theorem has to rely on self-reference because we can't really give a "natural" example when we're not actually looking at a specific system, but trying to say something about all possible systems.

I assume the thinking is as follows: street names mattered on early paper maps, and printouts of online maps, because people would navigate through areas by comparing the street name on the map to the street signs around them. That generation is now aging. Whole new generations have been brought up who instead navigate by searching for a POI or address, and then simply following the line or the voice guidance that the map app creates to lead them to that destination. The latter users may not know or care about the names of all the streets along the way.

Sure, some people want to look at a map with street names just to become familiar with the whole town. But those users are probably too few for a company focused on profit to care about, and such independent-minded users might be harder to monetize anyway.
There's no proof yet reuse is actually cheaper. Even independent reports cite "a potential of 30% cost savings".
Actually, a good chunk of that is available via memfd + linkat.

- Unit files: memfd, fdatasync, linkat, fsync(dir)

- Temporary files. memfd, preferably within /tmp to avoid any disk I/O unless you have a particularly large file to buffer

- Log files. This is trickier. Probably requires running on a fs that supports reflinks and creating a new memfd that’s a true clone of the original file, appending, & then replacing it. The one piece that is incompatible with this is that other file descriptors are stale and you have to reopen to see new data but that’s at odds with APIs available today - either readers can see partial writes or you have to have a new file. There have been proposals to allow buffering writes but delaying publishing the metadata acking the data but that hasn’t gone anywhere unfortunately.

- Managed files. I’m not sure that completions are the right contract here because technically the kernel could defer that completion indefinitely whereas databases typical need some kind of latency bounds of “OK - I really want this to commit to disk nowish”.

No! No, they are not. This is a mistake you are making, and I'm trying (vainly, maybe) to correct it.

If you have a branched structure like that, and dump each commit as a patch, and try to trace a "path through the DAG" by applying those patches, you will find that they don't apply after the first merge commit. There is no single list of patches, because that's not the structure of the history. The merge commit "patch" must be a different delta depending on where you came from.

Lots of Clojure companies hire people without previous Clojure experience (how I got started). List of companies that do that can be found in this blog post: https://jobs-blog.braveclojure.com/2022/03/24/long-term-cloj...

Also, lots of jobs get posted in the Clojurians Slack channel, as opposed to job boards. Perhaps try to find where the jobs get posted with Elixir, because at least with Clojure it certainly is not LinkedIn or other mainstream job boards. And then, once you find the jobs, don't be afraid to reach out to companies even if you don't have experience. They might just give you a chance! Remember, you no longer have a massive amount of competition with niche languages, so it's highly likely they actually read every CV.

They pay to display the ad. Think of a highway ad. If you sell a highway ad placement and then cover it with a big blanket (with maybe another ad on it) so nobody sees it, that would be a serious case of fraud.

So if you tell them the ad has been displayed so you get the video, but no ad was displayed for you, then that is a form of fraud. I don't think that would hold in court since it is such a petty crime, but it is still fraud. You lie to their server so that you can see the video without ads, that is fraud.
