I think the fundamentally disconnect here is that its not 'the same' mission. Sure if you break it down to the extreme the mission to the extreme, its the same 'people on moon'. But if you think about it beyond that, Artemis makes quite a bit more sense.

> We are supposedly going to the moon in two years, but we have never attempted a cryogenic refuel in orbit (this seems like a biggie).

The 2024 date was always politics and its an open secret that it won happen. Everybody who has followed this topic kind of knows this.

> - Have many layers of redundancy. Apollo had 6-7 backup procedures for what to do if they couldn't launch the lander off the moon.

While true, its also the case that Apollo lander had 1 ascent engine that couldn't be tested and wasn't redundant.

> - Test. small tests, big tests, real tests, skin-in-the-game tests.

I think its strange that he points this out but then doesn't point out that this is exactly the testing Starship proposed to prove out the rocket and things like the Cryo transfer.
Useful info!! This is sort of a lazy-web thing, but do you know where this work is being organized or how one might start contributing to it?
to be fair, they didnt claim it is likely, just that it could kill.

You could make the same point about going 5mph under the speed limit.

It is somewhat interesting to think about the factors that go into setting a punishment. It is rarely the magnitude of potential damage (worst case), and often not even the damage adjusted by the probability of occurrence.

Most often, it has more to do with subjective custom and norms. Some dangerous things are OK, some are harshly punished.
I can't tell whether this is a joke or not.

I would bet you that over 99.99 percent of HIBP's users do not pay for the service. Troy's time has value, so working on a service that provides no income is not really something you can expect a person to do. Troy decided to create an enterprise subscription service to get a bit of revenue from something he's created. It's not cheap, but it's not something you're meant to buy unless you're a company looking to monitor your employee email addresses. This service is pretty cheap in that regard, actually.

I really do not understand why you feel that you're being ripped off here. This is just a lack of product-user fit, his pricing structure simply doesn't work for you because you use email canaries. But for a company with 100 people, this pricing is entirely reasonable, if not something incredibly cheap.

What you're paying for is everyone who doesn't pay for the service, the time he takes to add new breaches to the service and the time he takes to develop the service.

Just because their pricing model doesn't fit you doesn't mean it's a cash grab. Is this too hard to understand?

EDIT: Also, I assumed this was a common understanding, but product pricing is based on the value it gives to the person buying. For a company of 100 people, do you think paying $160/yr is worth breach monitoring? I think for any IT department, this would be a no-brainer.

Minor students seem to have a different standard for rights. Schools regularly have dress codes and stuff. Presumably they'd say "you can have games on your calculator if you want, you just can't bring it to school."
The fears I was talking about were around the toxicity and dangers, not the cost. While we're on costs why didn't you highlight the $7B/yr for Fukushima or the $68B to date for Chernobyl? What about the 200% cost overruns and scandals involving Virgil C. Summer & Vogtle in the US that have cost tax/ratepayers tens of billions? $2B/yr doesn't look that bad in comparison.
The elites were trying to fit in into that world extremely hard, but the ruling method was always самодержавие.

With each Who's Hiring, we see opportunities from many different cities. But having not lived in some of the cities, it's really difficult to know if we would be happy relocating.

What prompted me to post this "survey" is an interesting opportunity onsite in NYC. But from an outsider's perspective, especially browsing apartments online, it doesn't seem too attractive. I'm sure there's a lot to like, but it would be nice to hear the good and bad from people who live there.

So, please give your city and its pros and cons.

I dislike them (and many other news sources) because they've transformed from a "this is what happened" model to a "this is what you should think" model.

Worse than that I find they are among the worst offenders when it comes to refusing to provide primary sources for things.

Person X said a bad thing and you should be angry about it because of XYZ, but, failing to actually link to the tweet/video/etc which allows you to see what actually happened, how is that acceptable?

Important to know that Roku has an "adjust frame rate to content native rate" which, insanely, is off by default. It will make up frames on all content by default if it's less than what your TV is capable of. I just got a new LG C3, and this was making us nauseous until I figured it out. I thought it was the TV, but unbelievably it was the Roku.

Ironic that the "disinformation expert" seems to be peddling disinformation herself. From what I've seen, the self-proclaimed disinformation discipline is nothing more than an attempt to cloak censorship advocacy in scientese language.

There is no such thing as a "disinformation expert" and anyone calling themselves that is displaying an obscene level of hubris.
I'll agree that's bad, but I'd also say that blaming != firing.

A position espoused by Bill Phillips [1], and to which I now adhere:

"You should be willing to take either side of the bet that confidence interval implies." (paraphrasing; he says it better).

For a concrete example, with a 95% confidence interval, you should be as willing to accept the 19:1 odds that the true value is outside the interval as you are the 1:19 odds that the true value is inside the interval.

Aside from being generally correct, this approach is immediately actionable by making the meaning more visceral in discussions of uncertainty. Done right, it pushes you to assign uncertainties that are neither too conservative nor too optimistic.

If the notion of letting your reader take either side of the bet makes your stomach a little queasy, you're on the right track. The feeling will subside when you're pretty sure you got the errorbar right and your reasoning is documented and defensible.

Edit for OP's explicit question: One standard-deviation errorbars are 68% confidence intervals. Two standard deviations are 95% confidence intervals. (assuming you're a frequentist, of course)

It's great to finally have a GTA game take place in a place I have intimate knowledge since I only moved here recently. A few things that I am hoping for:

-There better be a LOT of strip clubs, it's pretty bonkers that even where I live which is 30+ minutes away from Miami proper there are at least 5+ clubs in any direction

-I like that they captured the rednecky vibe and nonstop college party vibe from central / northern Florida

-I hope they explore the different Latin american communities outside of haitians and cubans. Venezuelans, Colombians, Argentinians, and Puerto Ricans are very numerous here and all are very distinct in terms of culture and social status

-Also hope they don't shy away from showing Jewish and Russian communities since they are very prominent in Aventura / West Palm Beach

-Biggest worry is that Florida is the flattest state and coming from GTA 5 and RDR 2 the mountains were my favorite areas, I saw some potential leaked maps that hinted at going to nearby islands and or a different country so maybe that will offer hiking / off road opportunities

-Also i'm pretty sure they are going to have a Disney / Universal Theme park and I genuinely hope they make it very lively with lots of roller coasters and more lively than the one in GTA 5

Overall very excited but it's a shame that PC isn't going to be a launch platform so I'm probably going to have to wait until 2026 or beyond.[1]

Risk of death for pedestrians goes up 250% when hit by a car going 32mph vs one going 23mph. Given the rising rate of pedestrian deaths in North America (at a 40 year high), it is an almost certainty that 5mph has made the difference in a great number of pedestrian deaths.
For what it's worth, my workflow is actually much closer to the parent's; I have a python batch job that spins up a julia runtime in a thread at startup and waits on a `Pkg.instantiate()` of a project with pretty substantial dependencies before it can start sending method calls into it. I think it takes like 3-5 seconds to start up. I badly want it to be a lot faster than that, but it's also fine. I'm not happy with it, but if I sat here thinking about it for a few minutes, I'm certain I could list a hundred things in our system that annoy me more than this.

Not flying is one thing, but so many US-Americans are scared of going into an actually different culture - somewhere where they speak a different language and watch different TV. A lot of people - not everyone, but a lot - could easily reach somewhere like that on that 8 hour road trip, but they won't, and they'll all try and talk about how it's "oh there's so much variety in the US I don't need to" which is just such a transparent lie.

As with most travel and retirement articles in a US/UK newspaper, the target audience for this piece is white people with a US/UK or other rich-country passport.

Which is fine. Just recognize these articles for what they are - part of the entertaining filler that makes up most of the paper - and not some hard-hitting analytical piece on emerging global migration patterns!
> He clearly argued against flashy technology demonstrations like orbital refueling, which if you have paid attention, doesn't apply to the SLS but Starship.

I think this ignores that a lander of significant size would need newly designed hypergolic engines and would need very complex orbital refueling of hypergolics as well.

> Fancy technology has been put on a pedestal, while the actual mission is being neglected.

I think this is just a misunderstanding of the long term vision for the program. I its not about Artemis 3 only.

> SpaceX enthusiasts think the moon mission is some irrelevant symbolic political boondoggle to keep NASA facilities open. They all want to go on the promised 100 people trip to mars.

That's unfair. SpaceX enthusiast for the most part are simply happy money flows into the Starship program. The real win here is the Starship program itself, not any individual mission.

And I think that is the most impactful thing about this, having impact all future deep space missions. So call me a SpaceX enthusiasts.

So unless you go to a tiny lander, its just a reality. Its in the critical path.
I'm pretty sure it is legal in the United States to buy a car and drive it uninsured on your own private property... and drive it into a brick wall at high speed. There is a YouTuber who is basically doing this now: Buying expensive cars and wrecking them on his private land. (I forget his name, but US-based guy. One video was him wrecking a highly customized Mercedes G Wagon.)
I've also seen people test two ingredients, one cheap and one not. If their sample can't tell the difference, it flies. The problem is, we're each sensitive to different things. So while I may not notice the difference between a pricey and mid-range whisky, I will notice when you sub out the Chartreuse. Meanwhile, my neighbor will likely be the opposite. Rinse and repeat this process and you get the beige this process predictably produces.

I understand where you are coming from, but I personally think that it's reasonable for a TV to show me sponsored content that is TV shows. I don't see this any different to how Netflix or Spotify show sponsored TV shows or music.

But my friend has a Samsung TV and it shows him ads for things he can buy from eBay, ads for games etc. in a similar area .. and yeah that's nonsense, that would really get on my nerves.
The question then is if you expect better outcomes from the same teachers you dont trust, who cant teach, and make bad decisions if you provide them a script they hate.

Do you expect better outcomes if they quit and you replace them with training videos?

It seems like this would be good reason to ban phones in school. I worry about the detrimental effects of not being able to concentrate. You could at least enforce school as a place to focus. If a student is using their phone during class, then they are not paying attention. It seems worthwhile to enforce this rather than give up on the kids.
That's not a response to what I wrote.

I never paid attention to the degree translation can shape our literary landscapes... Fascinating!

> At the conference, NORLA also underlined that translators are its most important talent scouts, not agents, making passion rather than profit the driving force of the literary export machinery. A month after the conference, NORLA gathered 150 translators from across the world at a retreat in the countryside. The application process for participating in the gathering had been open to anyone with a love for translation, and I assume NORLA encouraged all the attendees to like what they liked in the pool of Norwegian books and then to take it from there.

That's quite a lot of nasty to put onto me and I would ask you not to do that.

I'm not doing anyone's thinking. The position that typography carries associative and emotional weight is not novel here. I think you know very well that serif fonts carry a sense of formality and even authority that sans fonts don't.

I'm also not the one making these changes. I'm not sure why you think these decisions are being left up to me and people like me. The MFABoston has quite a robust inclusivity policy and they not only take on board research on these issues but they also facilitate direct contact where possible from people from various groups outside of their own sphere, including experts and service users/potential service users. Further to that they are also committed to a diversity and inclusivity policy with regards to their staffing, offering things like bias training to staff as well as offering staff "employee resource groups" that support staff who are members of societal groups that face systemic barriers to having their voices heard in order to help them overcome those barriers.

If you have any ideas on things they're missing you can contact them via their website.

> When you're destroying architecture you're destroying culture. The same technocrats who has filled the world with the most depressing brutalist architecture are claiming that some mysterious "others" suffer greatly from the classical looks of museums.

Which technocrats are these? The psychology of architecture is also not a novel idea, but it feels like you're speaking with incredulity here? Deyan Sudjic's The Edifice Complex is a fun book about this. There's a reason the White House looks how it does, it's communicating something and it's asking certain behavioural norms from the people who step inside.

I'm not sure what architecture is being destroyed. Here in Europe such buildings are generally protected from significant redevelopment becaues they're rightly recognised as cultural heritage in and of themselves. Is this a real issue?
You're way off. Comically so. A&P passing grade is more like 70%. It's not a comparable figure to PPL ground school.
I would recommend everyone jump every 1-3 years in early career just because it's hard to gain upper level skills when people see you as a junior and also you don't yet know what kinds of companies exist to see what you like and don't like. After that, I say stay until you're bored, burnt out, or feeling stagnant.

That said, if you're being promoted and given responsibilities at the pace you would have had you bailed then it's no problem at all really, although I think it puts you at risk of being afraid to leave you job when you emotional should and makes you inflexible in other types of work environments.
Just to make analysis more complicated, not all errors in are created equal: It may be better to have lots of safe errors versus a few huge ones.
