They did. I flagged one as a scam and got a confirmation email from YouTube stating that the video was deleted within tens of minutes.

Also, I noticed that about an hour before the launch, all live streams were hidden from keyword searches. I could not get a search hit that was fresher than about 12 hours despite trying for about 5-10 minutes. The only reason I could watch the launch live at all was because I already had the NASA Space Flight live stream in my "history". New searches, or even manual browsing on their channel, was turning up a blank.

The inescapable real-world problem is that all of these scams were live streams mirroring another live stream that Elon Musk refused to make available on the official SpaceX channel.

So if you searched for any variation of "Starship Launch", you'd see zero official videos and a bunch of unofficial ones like NASA Space Flight. How can YouTube automatically tell if some of these are scams or not?

They elected to simply put the ban-hammer down and blanket block all live streams related to the launch from search results.

How sad is this for the human race?

Imagine if CBS News or NBC or whatever couldn't show the moon landing live because NASA refused to deal with "legacy media" and all available video feeds were from Russian pirates intercepting satellite feeds and injecting scams of some sort.

This is where we're at right now. Elon Musk owning X/Twitter means that he refuses to do business with YouTube (or any other streaming service), which means that millions of space fans are getting scammed instead.

What an obscene disservice to the hard working and brilliant engineers at SpaceX.

This is false. Lane changing, causing others to slow down, is a leading cause of traffic waves.

> Why don't Christians want to enter "christian unions" and cede control over the word "marriage" to the state as a legal construct?

Because many Christians to varying degrees don't see marriage as a legal construct (whether exclusively, primarily, or at all, depending on the person), but as a religious one. "Civil Union" is the name that designates the legal construct, as the name implies.

> Alternatively, why does the state not abandon the idea of "marriage" altogether and only recognize domestic partnership?

I think this is something everyone could get on board with. It lets the religious sphere take back the "marriage" term while putting everyone on equal footing in the civil sphere.

...then we get to argue over what qualifies someone to be a husband/wife vs a partner!

It's just wood, bolts, foam and fabric.

For cushions I already had some, but you can easily make them with more JOANN fabric and a big box of poly stuffing. Extremely basic sewing skills and a pair of scissors are all you need.

Why should homosexuals have less rights that other people? That's just bigotry.

The purpose of marriage is for two people who are are committed to each other to gain that legal and social status. That may be important for rights of inheritance, citizenship, residency and numerous other rights.

The idea that marriage is intended for procreation is false and a claim made by those who discriminate against homosexuals.

If procreation is a key factor then it should be enforced equally: you lose your marriage right or are prosecuted for not procreating.

I would argue that nobody does. Which is why people can have different definitions of what marriage means.

Governments can decide that a homosexual union can be called marriage.

Religions can decide that a homosexual union isn’t marriage.

But Religions can’t expect others to accept their definition. They don’t get to demand that the government accepts their definition, unless they can get the votes.

- Source for Vulcan total program cost? All I can find is their per-launch pricing. Tory Bruno himself apparently said that "new rockets typically cost US$2 billion, including US$1 billion for the main engine."

- Not sure where you're getting the SLS number, the GAO report at https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-23-105609.pdf claims, "Since 2011, NASA has spent $11.8 billion to develop the initial SLS capability."

- I think the marginal cost is a fair question. The whole party line out of NASA was that this time Moon exploration would be sustainable. If each trip costs > $1B before you even put a payload on the rocket that's a big problem.
Samy Kumar did a project about 10 years back, where he worked out how to brute force a 12 bit garage door code in under 10 seconds, using a childs toy: http://samy.pl/opensesame/

My garage door opener uses a 12 but dip switch config (and my last place used an 8 dip switch config, and I'm pretty sure still does).

Re reading that OpenSesame post was fun. It reminded me of a few names I need to go find out what they're up to these days (Travis Goodspeed and Michael Ossmann are names I remember seeing doing/writing-up some really cool stuff), and that the Mattel IM-ME toy he was using uses that same CC1110 "sub gHz"
Golang also has some of the worst tooling because everything is based off of what comes builtin, and because they're not specialized projects, they're very limited in capability and configuration.

Coming from ts, tooling like tsconfig has a lot of options, but sensible defaults can be set with a single flag like strict mode. If some org has some specialized needs, they can dive into the configuration and get what they need.

With golang, not only would it be a lot for any single team to offer all those features at a decent level of polish, the golang culture in particular is very, very resistant to small bits of comfort because of dogma like "worse is better". It's kind of similar to Haskell's "avoid success at all cost".
Yep that's what I was thinking of.

And that's something that a lot of people have trouble with, but ultimately it's a potential outcome (hopefully avoidable!) that comes along with Canada ceding back some power and control to FNs they stole land from or negotiated treaties with that they immediately reneged on or ignored.

In all sorts of aspects people hate to lose things and have things taken away from them, and so that's why these discussions become such heated flashpoints.

Ultimately I think the strongest drive from FNs on these issues is simply to become masters of their own destiny and to benefit from the wealth of their lands; to seek an end to the sort of resource exploitation that Canada pursued through much of its history, extracting resource wealth from FN lands while returning little of that wealth back.
That's not true. This trick only works if you have the power to value stock low, like real low, buy it with your IRA then push it through the roof to get all the tax free profits.

That's a fairly unique situation. I certainly can't use an IRA to buy my company at a strike price, knowing I'll be selling or raising capital to increase its value.

> For example, the disaster surrounding London’s new Routemaster city buses disappeared into the depths of the web after Johnson made completely nonsensical statements in the media about building model buses from wine crates. Coverage of these statements triggered a flood of search queries on Google that displaced negative search queries and Google Suggest results related to Boris Johnson.

> Research showed that before the wine crate buses interview, 100% of Google Suggest and search results on page one that were displayed in connection with Boris Johnson had negative connotations. After the interview, it was only 20%.

> Additionally, when news broke that British Government members had flouted Covid guidelines to meet for wine and cheese during a ‘work meeting’, it was seized upon by the British press as “partygate.” Soon after, Johnson was quoted in interview saying, “I don’t work from home. The cheese will distract you.” As a result, negative coverage of the British Government’s party-gate incidents were glossed over by search suggestions and results, and keywords with negative connotations no longer appeared in Google Suggest prompts.

My previous employer was a GCP customer. Google did pull occasional shenanigans totally breaking us with random upgrades without notifying us. Their support wouldn’t acknowledge it was their fault until we were mad at them.

My newer employer is AWS. Their offerings are a lot more stable and support is helpful.

If you want to build a serious business I would avoid GCP. Google doesn’t really give a shit at winning Cloud. Ads is their core business.

I don't care about religion, but if the church invented the notion of marriage a thousand year ago why not let them use it and for state affairs use a distinct term? I would not consider the religion to be any sort of law in the land, just have a copyright on the "marriage" as a wine maker can have (ex: DOC). People who believe in a religion can have their marriage, people that don't practice a religion can have something called differently because it is differently. Religious marriage in my country has zero legal implications, it is just a ceremony in the church.
> But given the state of the industry it's possible you've never worked with anyone in the first several groups.

I have. I don't agree with your list and am taking it as a joke. DBAs, "managers", and "project managers" typically have plenty of dev experience. Everyone should be in the loop as much as possible. It's more often than not non-devs will miss tons of detail and oversimplify to the detriment of the project.

> You may be under the impression that your job is to talk to machines, but it's really not. Your job is to talk to people and develop that rigorous specification collaboratively.

>> The solution I've seen work very well is fewer meetings with clients and other stakeholders and more meetings with developers

I think you might have missed something I wrote. :)

I don't think we disagree and love collaborating with diligent non-devs who will trust the expertise of their dev team while giving their own feedback when compromises need to be made.

The question is simply who they need to spend more time with to get that good result. Every project is a little different, but more time with devs is usually the answer in my experience.

Im curious for anyone who has done this: what’s the point of going all the way from one-db to one-db-per-customer? Why not just split the customers to 2 databases, then to 3, etc? Seems like the same level of system complexity but you avoid the lots-of-databases scaling problem.

You probably don’t even need to be able to migrate people between shards… just put everyone on one db until you hit 50% utilization, then spin up a fresh db and put all new customers on that one. Repeat whenever you run out of databases under 50%.
I doubt it happens much in practice, but that seems open to abuse. I'd hate to be in a position where someone demanded my assets and I had to prove that I wasn't involved with them. Especially as it becomes ever easier to manufacture evidence like photos and video. Having both parties sign documentation ahead of time seems a little more secure and hopefully helps to keep things consensual.

There's no need for marriage to have any special treatment in the law.

The best thing would be to legally annul all marriages and make people apply for domestic partnerships if they want rights similar to what marriages give today like hospital visitation

> Since this is all being done on federal grant money

Its true that SpaceX has gotten federal money contract for landing on the moon to the tune of $2.9B. But the Starship program is going to cost a lot more than that, Musk estimated $10B and has done stock offerings to raise money. And you have to take into account that the federal money has to support 100% of the moon specific parts of development.

So, its true that the feds are helping w/ Starship development but "all" is not accurate.

> Because many Christians to varying degrees don't see marriage as a legal construct (whether exclusively, primarily, or at all, depending on the person), but as a religious one.

Whatever they “see”, it is, in fact, a legal institution, has been such as long as it has existed at all, and is a legal institution that in most modern liberal democracies (and many other regimes) has been entirely separate, and regulated differently, from any religious institution of the same name for quite some time.

There's lots of institutions like that, because religion and civil law weren't historically separate domains, and many institutions (minority/adulthood, for one pair) exist which formerly were shared between the two and continue to frequently exist in both domains.

That doesn't give religions the right to impose their rules on the public institutions, or to demand the public institution change its name.
A few years back I camped out on the Alvord Playa in this part of Oregon on a clear, moonless, summer night: it was spectacular!

I've been to quite a few remote dark sky sites, but this place was something else.

Later that night a storm rolled in and I had to get off the Playa due to the strong winds and blowing sand and dust.

I ended up sleeping in my Jeep next to a power substation since I only had a half tank of gas and that wasn't enough to get me to the nearest open gas station. At this time in Oregon even the rural gas stations were full service only so I had to wait until morning when the store at Fields Station opened up and I could gas up and get back home.

It was a memorable trip.
