Now in orbit. Congratulations!
Orbit!
Falcon 9 is now in orbit!!

According to the counter, they called orbit at about T+10 minutes.

Solar arrays deployed at T+11:50! And the crowd goes wild!
It blows me away that an object can go from standing on the ground to being in orbit in less than 10 minutes.
they mentioned it reached orbit... around the 10 minute mark. pretty fast! I think they mentioned at one point it was traveling at 3km/s. At 12mins, the solar arrays were deployed. They mentioned it would take a few days to dock with the ISS though.

I heard lots of cheering during the deployment of the solar array, I'm guessing past missions this has been the turning point?

awesome. thanks!
edit: I was watching it on ustream and couldn't see how. But this link worked.
I believe it'll take 2 days before they are ready to dock with the ISS.
Listening to the cheering when the solar arrays deployed made my day.
dragon has reached orbit and deployed solar/radiator wings. lots of cheering from SpaceX folks heard.
Well, it was in orbital with solar panels deployed after about 12.5 minutes. Then they said on the video feed that it would be "a couple of days" before it rendezvous with the space station.

It made it to orbit!

How about that roar from the SpaceX crowd when the solar panels deployed! Way to go humans!!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
No way! Don't forget that Musk started out doing "web stuff".

Today you are doing web stuff. Tomorrow...
she was so excited.
New to me, thanks!
Exactly. The biggest motivator for my "web stuff" is this "space stuff".

They've said a few times it'll take the rocket 3.5 days to get to the station.

SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch Successful

I don't visit gawker media sites, could someone post whatever they copied/aggregated? I guess it is a youtube video?
Wow that was just fucking awesome in all ways. I really feel pumped up to go to space after watching that. Thank you SpaceX and Elon Musk for unlocking the next frontier.
FYI, for the last 6 months I've cut out major sources of carbs. No rice, pasta, bread or potatoes, and no obviously super-sweet stuff (sugar, sodas, etc), and very sweet fruits (apples, cherries, pineapples, grapes...) only in moderation.

I still drink beer. I make occasional exceptions (been eating some chocolate every couple of days recently since someone gifted me a whole damn box). I eat lots of veg (salads, spinach, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc) and huge amounts of meat (anything from fresh steak and home-made burgers - no bun - to chorizo, Parma ham, and other fatty meats). I still eat lots of dairy products too - cheese in particular, nice mozzarella, Camembert, gruyere, emental, etc.

Result for me? I eat whenever I'm hungry, however much I feel like, and always nice food that tastes good, and my weight hasn't budged. I also don't get the 1-3pm carb coma anymore. And I feel great.

YMMV, but this works for me for maintaining weight. For cutting down weight, just combine this with a calorie restriction method and daily weight measurements/charting, as per : http://danieltenner.com/posts/0018-how-to-lose-weight.html
So amazing to see this and experience the launch with them. You can tell how much energy, passion and personal sacrifice these people and their leader, Elon, put into this. It's absolutely beautiful to see. Real innovation, a true testament of our capabilities as human beings. Not a company with 800+ million users that can't even figure out the ad business. :) Congrats guys!
It truly makes me feel what I do is not worth while at all. It's just amazing how far we have come. Imagine in the future when kids and adults will no longer feel like getting a rocket in to space is any kind of achievement.
Same here, man. I had my startup and failed. But someday I got to do this.
I believe this was the first deployment of solar arrays for spacex. The previous orbit was internal power only.
You have to consider how low that orbit is. ISS is closer to earth than SF is to LA for example.

The door handle could actually be described as an anti-affordance. I looked at the photo and thought to myself what a great idea it was that it gave you a comfortable ridge for your knuckles while pulling and a nice rounded bit (instead of a sharp-edged flat surface) to push on.

That is, it signalled to me the exact opposite of the designer's intended use. I would have been doubly surprised if pulling on that clearly "pull-only" handle didn't open the door.

I don't think we'll ever know how hard it was for a private space startup to convince NASA and the international community to let them dock with the ISS and to work with them to make it happen. Elon Musk is a legend.
Well this is the most exciting (and literal) launch of a startup I've ever seen.
I assume so. I imagine that once that big exploding burning thing has finished and shutdown, a lot of the "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly" kinds of events become far less likely.

As someone who bowed out of the SpaceX interview process because he couldn't see himself coding in C++ anymore, and now focuses on web and mobile instead... I wish I shared your confidence right now. That launch gave me goosebumps that no app ever has >.<
It's worth noting that the borders between these categories aren't simple vertical and horizontal lines.

Within limits, the more talent you have, the less niceness you can get away with. In other words, the line between (I) and (II) slopes down.

The line between (IV) and (I) (and between (II) and (III), for that matter) might also slope down, but that's complicated by the talent threshold being more important, I believe.

Why can't I see this webcast? Using Chrome on Linux Mint.
I really like the idea of having a server running in your browser (providing it being secure!) NAT and firewalls, and non 24/7 up time being a problem, but not a show stopper.

Open services should be easily accessible/usable in the OS layer and across networks, but I guess they currently aren't - without some skill.

If I take my laptop around someone's house and want to share a few files - how easy is this? If I want to just play some tunes, or a video from my laptop on someone else's PC or set top, how trivial is it? Not very. At least not for the mythical average user.

A decentralised web sounds good to me also. And lowering the barriers to web publishing where you have control over the content in my eyes is a good thing.

Unite though feels like a component that could live happily outside of the browser (again ideally in the OS layer). The email client could be standalone also. Unless they want to go the Chrome OS way.
5MB seems a bit small, they'd also have lossless copies right?

Why does this organisation sell books? Is it to earn money which they can spend on their true purpose? Is it to spread the message contained in the books? A bit of both?

If the point is to spread the message, why use a technology whose only purpose is to restrict that spread?
I found github.exe:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\51DBXE19.R1Z\RGNBRRL3.Q0Q\gith..tion_8f45a2159c87c850_0001.0000_c87fd0df5204df40\github.exe
Same here. The science fiction dreams of our youth won't realize themselves!
From the pictures, it looks like each fret is separated into six pieces, one for each string.

Presumably, this is how it tells which note you are playing. Pressing a string to the fret completes an electrical circuit. At first I thought the bridge had optical pickups based on the way it looked, but according to the description, the thing has no pickups.

There are some serious flaws with this design.

1) It looks like you can't bend strings, because the frets are divided into six segments. The string would get caught between the segments. If there's some kind of non-conductive bridge between the segments (unlikely), then it will probably wear differently. If you can't do a whole-step bend, then there's an enormous volume of music you can't play.

2) It's going to sound like trash. Without pickups, it has to synthesize the sound. I've gotten usable sampled guitar tracks before, but I did that by recording samples specifically for the song and manually tweaking each note.

3) It's unnecessary. You could basically take a stock Stratocaster, add a hex pickup and a LED neck, and you're done. The LED neck isn't easy, and of course it won't sound like a normal neck, but whatever. The guitar will still be a normal usable guitar.

If you want to divide guitar players into rhythm/lead and acoustic/electric, it becomes clear that this is a usable instrument in none of these four categories. Electric rhythm guitar strongly relies on palm-muting technique which you won't be able to learn without regular pickups. For electric lead, you need the whole-note bend and left-hand vibrato technique. The bend is impossible and the vibrato can't be taught without the pickup. Acoustic players want to be able to play and hang out with friends but the synth is just going to get in the way. You see the picture of that guy at the park with three friends (of course the two sitting next to him are girls)? He would probably be happier with an acoustic. Furthermore, if you learn on this guitar you'll be fairly hopeless on an acoustic since the strings are heavier (if you play electric and switch to acoustic, your left hand will give out fairly quick).

Incidentally, I paid about $330 for my first guitar, a Fender Stratocaster, plus amp. It's more like $400 with inflation since 2003. Never had lessons but it sure ain't hard to figure out "Smoke on the Water" or "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

Congratulations on the successful launch Elon and Team!

Guys, don't beat up other startups and people on what they are doing or will do.

Celebrate this for what it is.
I was lucky to tune in about ten minutes before launch. I wasn't alive for the Apollo program, and I thought of our space efforts as a little lame as the shuttle program ratcheted down and finally expired over my lifetime.

This launch blew all of that away. I just have to figure out how to present it to my seven year old.

Godspeed and all the best, SpaceX.
Because when they started they didn't have the traffic, quicker to get to a running product. Probably easier now to cut back/change Django functionality than rewrite.
The loud cheer when the solar panels were deployed - priceless.
Because it's over, you missed it.

The Facebook Fallacy
It depends really. For someone learning an instrument for the first time, reading music isn't the problem - guitar tabs are really easy to read anyway. The issue is learning to co-ordinate hand and finger movements.

Once you're more comfortable playing the guitar, you can move onto more complex things like reading sheet music, or composing, or whatever tickles your fancy.

Think of it like programming: we recommend beginners start on languages like Python, Basic or Pascal to ease the mind into that way of working.
> The sooner you can adjust your mental view to treating food as nothing more than fuel, the better off you'll be

The only reason I can imagine you'd have this idea is if you're operating under the mistaken assumption that "healthy food" and "food that you can enjoy" are mutually-exclusive categories.

This ties into a lot of quasi-religious crap surrounding diet in general, which makes every fad diet an orthodoxy complete with demonic outsiders (foods absolutely prohibited and made to seem inherently unhealthy), canonized sacraments (foods that are held up as perfect and beyond reproach), and the sin-guilt-redemption cycle.

Nonsense.

You can lose weight eating Twinkies if you mind your caloric intake and burn more than you consume. (You'll have to watch your nutrient intake as well, but that's a given. You always need to do that to some extent.) Therefore, you can eat good foods in the right amounts and it'll work. You'll also be more inclined to stay on the diet and make it a true lifestyle change.

Ask HN: opensource projects for space industry?
Today's Falcon9 launch [1] was extremely exciting, and it got me thinking - except for working for SpaceX or a space agency (NASA/ESA/Roskosmos/...), how can a programmer do something for the space industry?

Does anyone know any opensource projects that SpaceX or NASA use? Maybe some of their own projects accept help from the outside?

Yes, everything is MIT (that I wrote). Deployd is really awesome, congratulations. I agree that having an easy way to do what looks like direct database manipulations from the browser is really useful and it seems like the rules and stuff you have set up to secure that is a very good approach. I also think that mongodb makes a lot of sense because of its flexibility and ease of use.

My thing really isn't ready to show anyone but its at https://github.com/ithkuil/cureblog at the moment. I have a bunch of stuff to do including most everything related to security. I think at first I am going to try to cheat with really simple rules possibly inserted into the everything.now function call if I can, or something. Really a lot of stuff to work out.
I don't believe this. Github and Particularly TPW, and their successful bootstrap was the main inspiration for me to startup.

As many has said it, Github > Instagram + Pinterest. I would say at least 5B$.
It still requires travelling at mach 25, that's a lot of velocity to put under the belt in such a short amount of time.

I'm confused about how this works.

You add a line to my outgoing e-mails. This contains a link to a charity, and boasts about how many people have seen/clicked this link, but doesn't name the charity or give any real reason to follow the link. (“Donate now!” is not a reason when you don't state who the donation is to or what it will be used for. It doesn't even say that it's for a charity.)

How do charities gain from this? Is the link to a donation page on their website?

"The sooner you can adjust your mental view to treating food as nothing more than fuel, the better off you'll be"

Not true. This is a mechanistic approach to life, we are not machine copies. Machines are copies from us, witch is different.

A machine can not repair itself or reproduce or protect itself against the aggressions of the environment.

What you eat is not just fuel, but way way more complex. You eat proteins so you get aminoacids, vitamins, minerals, oils and water. If you don't eat some specific materials in specific proportions you die, no matter how many calories you give it(energy or "fuel").

E.g you could give your body too much omega 6 fat (cheap to industrial manufacture) over omega 3 fat and your body will start working very bad.

In my experience traveling around the world, the anglo speaking world has no idea what eating well means. Eating for enjoyment does not mean eating pizza, hamburgers or hot dogs, there is tons of healthy food around the world that is simply delicious(look for ancient cultures).
It is kind of sad that Facebook has a $100B valuation considering what SpaceX is doing, and plans on doing. One is just one particular web-profiles-and-chat service, not that hard or original. The other is frickin rocket science.

Re: (1), I can get any results in RSS, even stuff from 2010; the format is implemented as just a view of the normal webpage. Try clicking on "Oldest" on the webpage and then appending "&output=rss" to the URL.

It'd be nicer if they included paging URLs in the RSS itself, though.

Re: (2), while I wish they'd let you collect that, I think there's a difference between data you generate while using their services and data generated elsewhere that you feed them.

Gods that was fun. Just went through Wikipedia and updated all its articles to reflect that they're 3 for 3 on the Falcon 9. Such a raving fanboi over here.
"The sooner you can adjust your mental view to treating food as nothing more than fuel, the better off you'll be;"
I am like this. Trust me, it is not that enjoyable. There are two major downside:
1. 90% of all food tastes meh. I seldom go a day without having eaten something I truly enjoyed. 2. You start eating too little, because you feel you haven't exactly run out of fuel just yet.
Two can be particularly dangerous, at times I have almost fainted because of it.
I truly recommend against training yourself this way.
Yes they do! :)
