It would take a tremendous amount of fuel to do what you're imagining, probably to the point of making the craft impossible to build with current technology.

Your orbit would have to be high enough to do a burn to cancel your orbital velocity (lots of fuel), then you have to burn against gravity for a slow vertical descent (lots of fuel). The rocket equation says... you'll need a larger craft and more fuel to carry the extra fuel in to orbit. It gets pretty out of hand.

Instead of using fuel to slow down, spacecraft make a small burn to have the orbit intersect the atmosphere, and then use drag instead of fuel to slow down.
Well, TIL. When I see a school named after someone who is not widely famous I assume they were an educator or politician.
I don't think they fueled it up all the way. But I do thing the booster and maybe also starship itself is a little heavier than they plan to have it at the end.

*update* if you check the video just before launch (39:54), you can see that the fuel bars for both the booster and the ship is not 100% full: https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1OwxWYzDXjWGQ

I think large trucks and SUVs should not be legal to drive through the city without a valid business permit. Special temporary permits can he granted to newly purchased vehicles.

Large vehicles are a safety hazard to pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorists in smaller cars. They take more parking space, and consume more gas/electricity.

Asia is full of trucks and vans that are smaller than most four door cars in NA... There's really no reasonable reason for someone to be driving a vehicle the size of an F-150 in the city unless it's being used for construction IMHO.

In Montreal, areas with permitted parking charge by e.g. the weight of the vehicle, the size of a vehicles engine, or the length of the vehicle (it changes by borough/year). It's an OK proxy for big cars, but people still are willing to pay it.

We got rid of horse drawn carriages in Montreal relatively recently for animal cruelty reasons.

> It is not what happens in Barcelona. For six months the "okupas" have been inside an apartment that a family left completely closed to go away for a weekend, the Mossos arrived 15 minutes after the occupation

If that was the primary residence of the family, it wouldn't be considered a "occupation" as discussed in this submission, but rather "breaking and entering" ("allanamiento de morada", or similar), and police should definitely get them out ASAP, anything else is a disgrace.

But again, has nothing to do with okupas because it wouldn't be considered an occupation in the first place.

Try go to the local news, because if the police does nothing about this, I'm 100% sure the news are interested in this story.

Ask HN: How much time do you spend in meetings?
How much time per week on average do you spend in meetings? Is there a difference in what meetings you have scheduled compared to what you actually spend in meetings, due do them going over time or ad-hoc meetings that happen?

I'll go first. Since I moved into management, I have ~12h hours of meetings scheduled on average for each week (give and take an hour on alternating weeks), including one-on-ones and stand-ups. All of them virtual at this point.

The people I manage have about 4 hours of meeting scheduled, give and take an hour on alternating weeks as well, so it's 3 one week and 5 the next.

The problem is that the altered images represent a still plausible theory. There is a reason why they were believed in the first place. It isn’t that these false images are negative evidence. Instead, they don’t help or refute the underlying hypothesis at all.

The real question (that I’m not sure about) is if anyone else has been able for replicate the original experiment.

You make an interesting point, TotalCrackpot. These “activists” do seem to be captured by the strange illogic of a mind virus.
That’s not a hard claim to verify. They simply have.

Gen Ai has a long way to go and multiple languages and cultures to mesh with before it achieves the ubiquity of a container.
They're also planning to go to Mars, and Starship is the smallest vehicle that could enable that on the scale desired.

It's certainly a gamble that there will be a million people willing to spend $200k to do this, which… well, I think it's not entirely impossible, as the idea was something I liked until Musk's own personality put me off the idea of being stuck on a planet with only his sycophants for company.

Which is a bit of a shame, but still, I'd give it 50-50 odds of being a product-market fit just for that.
Oh for sure, price rises mean more selling. One sort of unique thing about GME is that a very unusual percentage of holdings seem to be held by ... r/wsb and r/superstonk retail holders, and they have talked themselves into never selling.

there’s a sense in which IBM was right to fear the PC - it, in fact, killed their main industry, and they were not able to compete well in the new space, despite defining the standard. maybe they could have pursued it more enthusiastically and done better in the 1990s, but, it still would have been fighting against the tide

I understand the atmosphere is used to slow the vehicle - it's basically free brakes that you don't have to carry with you. I never suggested using rockets in reverse to slow the vehicle down. What I am asking is, instead of effectively standing on the breaks and generating enormous amounts of friction in a short period of time, why can't the vehicle ease onto the breaks and spread the friction out over time so it can be more safely dissipated (via a more shallow reentry angle).

> It’s one of those things humans will never do better than a machine.

I think it's important to note that humans still arguably do better in this case. The robot seems fast, but it cheats compared to a human. It sees all four sides at once, and the timing does not include picking up the cube or setting it down.

I will be impressed when we have a robot that can pick up a cube, look at it with two cameras from the same direction, solve it, and put it back down in under ~3 seconds (which is the record for a human). I doubt very much we are there yet.
Horses would often be swapped out at stations when a wealthy person would have to travel very quickly across a long distance. Maybe this is an average since the speed with which horsemen could travel would depend on the rate at which they exchanged their horses.

In an extreme example from the year 9 BC, the future emperor Tiberius traveled on the Roman Roads 330 miles (531 km) between northern Italy and modern day Mainz, Germany in 36 hours without sleep. He was rushing to the deathbed of his older brother Drusus after the latter suffered mortal injuries in a freak horse accident. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drususstein

> Only on Mercator projection that is younger than many of the sites on the line.

People have been specifying locations in terms of NS/EW coordinates since the greeks. Celestial navigation ensures we always have a clear idea where north is, and when two locations are at the same latitude. It's the most natural way we've understood and discussed far-away places.

I don't think it's fair to say mercator invented this projection so much as he famously published maps which used it.

(btw, I agree this line is a complete retrospective coincidence, just not with this particular argument)
How does this compare to the modern rail system?
You seem to keep spreading this baseless rumor. "Occupation"/"Okupas" is considering properties beyond your primary residential property. I'm sure there are cases where okupas tried to take people's primary residential property, but the police absolutely help you to get rid of them quickly.

I personally know a handful of cases where okupas tried to take people's primary residence that they just purchased and were in the process of reforming before moving, for example. And every single case was solved quickly by local police, as it's breaking and entering, not a occupation.
Innumeracy in this area drives me nuts. Case 17 in https://www.eia.gov/analysis/studies/powerplants/capitalcost... for instance specs out a solar installation that can store a bit more than an hour of its peak output energy in batteries and quotes $2,175 per kWh.

People are going to compare that to Case 9 and a $7,681 kWh for a dual installation of AP-1000s and declare it is game over but you're going to need a lot more than one hour of storage to get through the night and when you add that and consider the need that you'll either need storage or overcapacity to get through the winter the cost is going to closer to the AP-1000. Personally I am pretty irked that that paper gives a number for the capital cost of a PV system which is not dependent on the location because you could a difference by more than a factor of two in how much energy the same array could produce in different spots.

It's one of those things that adds to a culture of people just talking past each other.
The trip through their DC that is on YouTube (that I found on HN) actually stated that they use electricity for ac just a few times per year during most extreme heat days.
This is fallacious neocon reasoning. Countries are always looking to expand their borders, for many reasons. Few of them are Nazi Germany. What Russia is doing now is much closer to what Bismarck did in unifying Germany or Garibaldi did in unifying Italy. Or what Iraq tried to do with Kuwait.

Would it have been justified for Europe to intervene militarily when the US wrested California and Texas from Mexico? Maybe or maybe not, but it certainly wasn’t the first step in the US taking over the world.
Any normal measurement unit here is going to be hard to grasp on it's own without translating it into an equivalency; XXXXXX olympic swimming pools or XX Y ocean.
They already use a shallow angle. There's just a lot of energy involved. As soon as the drag kicks in, the angle gets steeper and steeper on its own as the drag slows the craft down.
Evolution results in other incentives. Beware the assumption that nature is somehow benevolent. It can go either way.

Some mushrooms are poisonous. They evolved to protect themselves from being eaten. On the other hand, some plants evolved so their fruit will be eaten and spread their seeds.

And then there are diseases and parasites.

Just watched the recorded live stream and... wow! What a show. Incredible views of a test that appears to have successfully achieved all potential objectives through reentry, rotation maneuver, relight, landing burn and upright water landing in the Indian Ocean.

The only unfortunate bit was some debris cracking the camera lens during the last part of reentry so the view for spectators was occluded but SpaceX maintained their live data feed all the way through, which is the important part. As they say, for these tests "the data is the payload."

I know when it is used as a slogan at political rallies, and they just simply call out things like "these regulations, so stupid, why can't we dump waste in the river, they are reducing our profits".

It is all about profit. The environment, or safety, anything in the way of profit is called '"red-tape" and is put there by some do-gooder.

So, yes, I think I can infer when someone talks about getting rid of 'red-tape' what they are "meaning". But that is also why I listed several categories of red-tape, since some 'red-tape' should be updated.
While true, that decreased cost will come with increased use. The situation described in the article would not have used a helicopter. Mayne it makes less sound, but makes it more often (per the residents in the article it's still an annoyance).

Academics have gotten AI wrong since its inception and now are relegated to the trailing edges of the field. Mostly because increasingly insist on theory-as-fact in soft arenas that are clearly still in motion. Reasoning has been one thing, it can continue to grow to be another. But even from your defition, I can provide abductive, inductive, and other examples of it reasoning to this degree just fine. However tour examples are a bit... silly to be honest.

But keep lecturing everyone -- its very common for post-grads to be so up their own behind in their research that they've closed their world off until they are the only ones right in it.
Seeing the Starship's flap visibly burning in the reentry heat and still survive well enough to move around and get to a splashdown was just incredible. Amazing progress in just four test flights.
It's the banal last paragraph desperately avoiding having an opinion that gives it away.
Many people hold values like this that are immediately dismissed once the technology in question can save something or someone they truly hold dear.

I very much understand and share the fears of a surveillance state. I would also throw those fears out the window if it meant a drone could find or track someone who kidnapped my child or loved one (and I can think of many even more horrifying examples).

I think the reality is far from the dystopic panopticon people imagine and also won't be free of occasional abuse or over-enforcement that will likely be mitigated by citizen pushback and regulation. I think people who talk about it the way you do are being quite hyperbolic and don't actually do a good job of swaying people to their argument.

Target's approach was quite similar to what Walmart did in 1994, when Walmart entered the Canadian market.

Walmart took over around a hundred or so of the long-established Woolco stores, and converted them to Walmart stores. The Woolco stores I'm aware of were then replaced with new larger Walmart-built store in the same area within a few years.

I think Target's main problem was more timing rather than execution. In 1994, Canada still had a relatively strong middle class with money to spend, although that would eventually be harmed thanks to NAFTA, excessive government interference in the economy, and excessive immigration. By 2011 when Target showed up, Canada's middle class was already suffering, and it has only gotten much worse since then.

All of the Target stores I ever visited in Canada were decent. The pricing typically wasn't as competitive as Walmart's was, but the Target stores were generally a nicer experience.
