Given how many pieces were being burned away, the fact that the camera and telemetry survived is amazing.
The guy that designed the flaps of the main starship needs a raise. The thing was glowing red hot, almost disassembled and still functioned and they managed to do a second splashdown. Amazing work from the Spacex team.
Our machine bootstrap script at work supports Arch, Ubuntu, Debian, Pop OS, and more thanks to Homebrew. The only thing that uses the package manager is when installing Docker.

It just landed (though difficult to say how softly), with a partially melted front canard stil actuating lol. This thing is built.
Holy shit, that was incredible.

To be honest, UN organizations have not been of much help recently.

Last week, there was a mass starvation near an Ethiopian refugee camp.[1] The refugees left the campsite due to constant harassment, kidnappings, and murders by Ethiopian militias. The UNHCR's response was to urge the refugees to return to the campsite despite the dangerous situation there, or they will withhold resources, which led to the mass starvation.

But on the other hand, Apple isn't telling their customers to put glue on their pizza sauce. Pros and cons.
Incredible. And still, the guy who makes things possible again and again gets a lot of poison thrown his way.

Human nature at work. On both sides.
Seeing the fin still moving and keeping attitude despite being chewed trough was amazing
Apple clearly doesn’t need to do it all to win.

They can partner with AI companies and build expertise for on-device AI (as they have with photography) leveraging their hardware design talent.

I stand by my characterization, this comment is symptomatic of the same problem. That a country with high unemployment has the nr of workers in the construction sector as the major limitation in construction of new housing seems very implausible. What about zoning laws? To the extent a country with high unemployment can’t find enough construction workers it’s likely to be some kind of government/regulatory failure. Read Matthew Yglesias, he’s great
Watching that fin burn away was crazy, I can't believe that they were still able to actuate it afterwards!
The upper stage re entering was the craziest thing I've seen live. Can't believe it was burning thru the flap and still had a gentle splash down.

One that stuck out to me: Don’t implement something unless you need it right now

This is a constant battle I fight with more junior programmers, who maybe have a few years of experience, but who are still getting there.

They are often obsessed with "best-practices" and whatever fancy new tool is trending, but they have trouble starting with the problem they need to solve and focusing on the minimum needed to just solve that problem.
You didn't hang around till second stage relight I see... somehow the smoking remains landed lightly in the ocean,
It actually made it through the belly flop and maybe made the landing burn which I also was not expecting. We got some better looks at the flap near the end and it had a huge chunk burned out but seems enough remained for it to keep working and keep the craft under control.
I remember reading that one too, the child commanders were hyper-precise with their motion controls, getting down to microns of accuracy.

Yes, but not at this stage. We want to grow a bit and offer blockchain-powered features as an add-on to the premium account. We deliberately don't want to include blockchain from the very beginning as we are targeting the mass market.

We already have ideas on how we'll implement blockchain in the near future, though.

It seems to me that we could start with a conservative approach and adjust from there. For example, define a property as vacant if it isn't occupied for 1 continuous month or a total of three months out of the year.
Watching pieces of the ship melt off, but then seeing it make a relatively controlled landing, is perversely confidence building. If it can survive that kind of damage on a control surface maybe it's a quite robust craft.
How about the other 10K+ people who did the actual work to make this happen? Or is it all about that one guy? :)

Looks interesting; how do you plan to monetize Exograph? No mention of pricing, code is on github, runs on serverless platforms, appears to be essentially a language/DSL, but is licensed under the BSL and so I wonder if you do or do not want to incentivize use by and contributions from the dev community. No shade, am curious.
>I'd put Starship Soft Landing first.

So that just happened. Been even better if the camera wasn't mostly melted, but looked like a slow enough landing.

Well, you can define something meaning "finite" in first order logic. It just won't mean what we want it to mean.

Take your example. "All natural numbers are finite." How do we define the natural numbers in first order logic? Let's use PA. Now take a nonstandard model of PA in which you can prove that PA is inconsistent. You will have a "proof" in that model that PA is inconsistent. That "proof" has a length. In that model, that "proof" will be of "finite" length.

There is no contradiction here...but only because that "proof" is (from our point of view) infinitely long. So the proof can go wrong even though it goes wrong at no step.

From my point of view, first order logic captures the idea of "finite" as well (or poorly) as classical mathematics captures the idea of "exists". And second order logic requires accepting the truth of unprovable things. But if you're willing to accept the truth of unprovable things, and the existence of non-constructible ones, we get the standard mathematics that mathematicians use without questioning too hard.
Only if it requires less input power than it outputs, which it probably doesn't.
In team fortress 2, players can receive loot boxes/in game items during normal gameplay. The loot boxes can be unlocked by purchasing a "key" for ~$2.50, to receive cosmetic items. Many of the cosmetic items can sell for a lot, on the scale of hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

The cosmetic items from loot boxes (as well as those attained from normal play) can then be sold in online markets (such as scrap.tf or marketplace.tf) for real-world currency.

This is probably what the primary goal of the bots is. Ironically, the source of TF2's profit for Valve (microtransactions for cosmetics) is also a partial cause for the bot crisis.
No. But even if they did, having the same DNA isn't enough to have the same impact. See for example prions; same protein, but a different configuration results in a wildly different result.

That was seriously some of the most dramatic television I've ever watched. Video of Starship being melted/torn apart by supersonic plasma, the broadcast stream dying multiple times maybe due to ship destruction, then finally back online, peeking through the cracked camera to see the nearly destroyed grid fin STILL ACTUATING. The announcers laughing about the ship being "maybe held together by some nuts and bolts" and then it still pulled off the fucking landing burn!

Absolutely wild and historic.
Those 10k+ people would all be doing something different if it weren’t for that one guy - so ultimately, yes.
A lot of people (like myself) don't even get broadcast/cable TV any longer. But lots of stuff streaming/purchased if you want it.

Being there is certainly different (plusses and minuses). But, of course, things like world-class opera and ballet aren't widely available (and are expensive).

There were definitely some big chunks tossed out during that relight so I'd also be very surprised if they tried it during the next test flight.

These sort of moves were made by pretty much every single multiplayer game around from the mid 2010s forwards. Even at the time it was very obvious what would be the result. But the casuals and new players loved it for a while $$$

Wouldn't surprise me if Valve sends a DMCA to their host for using their art assets
Holy crap, you're right, about 1h45m in the video (about T+1hr04m mission time): camera is nearly out but you can see engines relight and flap moving at Starship goes below 1km altitude. It got through re-entry and did a soft-ish landing!
edit: From the telemetry at the bottom of the screen you can also see that it righted itself to vertical just before hitting the water

> I've never been a fan of the word 'problematic' because it says so little about what the problem actually is.

I don’t think that’s the real problem with the word “problematic”. So many other words have the same problem—“bad” doesn’t say anything about what the badness is, “difficult” doesn’t say anything about the difficulty, etc. “Green” doesn’t say anything about greenness.

I think the problem people have with problematic is that you’re taking a subjective claim and making it sound like a property of the object. If the taste of the public is “problematic” then it means that someone has a problem with it, but that someone is absent from the sentence.

The word “problematic” is, eh, fine. Writers and speakers shouldn’t be injecting subjects into sentences just because the sentences express opinion. There’s not necessarily any kind of clear subject to introduce. The author/speaker is usually better used as an implicit subject for subjective statements.

I have other problems in Adorno’s claims here but I have somewhat accepted the word “problematic”.

Whose power outage?

The ISP needs to reliably track allocations despite some of their equipment going out, except in the extreme edge case of their entire operation cold starting.

If the client modem goes out it can just be told the same number again when it boots.

And that's not even getting into how trivially small this amount of information is to save to disk.

Non-persistent allocation has technical benefits when your devices keep moving between nodes or when they're offline most of the time. Otherwise not so much.

Like open a betting market for study replication. If no methodological errors are found and the study can be successfully replicated the authors get a percentage of the pool, replication effort is run by a red team that gets paid the same percentage of the pool regardless of outcome making their incentive to find bets that just attract a lot of bets.

This would incentivize scrutinizing big findings like the one in the OP where a failure would be big, but also act as a force for unearthing dark horse findings in journals off the beaten path where replication success would be big.
Except, America does acknowledge it, essentially 24/7 and ramped up around holidays. Almost always to exaggerated and misleading degrees.

Ironically, modern Americans have skewed views in the opposite way of what you're suggesting. Pop culture and public school textbooks present the Indians as being far more peaceful, advanced and egalitarian than they were and the European settlers as being far more powerful and privileged than they were (they were after all, mostly refugees and peasants from oppressed minority groups in their native countries).

In the case of Hawaii specifically, the people historically lived in poverty with frequent wars and violence between rival tribal kings fighting to expand their kingdoms. As the 20th century brought Japanese imperialism expanding across the Pacific, those tribal leaders realized joining the USA was far better than being conquered by Japan and moved swiftly to do so. Today, the people there live far safer and richer lives with more freedom than their ancestors could have imagined, although wealth inequality, drugs and environmental harms remain serious issues on the islands.

If you think about this, it doesn't make a lot of sense because different satellites are going to sit in very different orbits.

Geosynchronous satellites are an obvious case where satellites will collect into a limited number of orbits but they vary on what point of the Earth they sit over. Also getting to geostationary orbit takes a lot more fuel so the rocket has less room for payload than, say, low EArth orbit. I'm not sure one rocket can launch a geostationary satellite above the Americas and above Europe in the same mission.

But you can't really launch a satellite in a polar orbit and an equatorial orbit in the same mission, for example. Likewise, how economic is it to deploy one at 150km and another at 250km?

Starlink is a special case because it's a related constellation of satellites where a number of satellites are in the same orbit.
Here is a reminder that the only other rocket that can survive re-entry is Falcon 9.

So Apple has all these users just because they had a great pitchman who died over a decade ago??

I don't get this rationale at all. Yes, obviously Apple has built a very "sticky" ecosystem, but saying "Apple's value isn't it's tech" is ludicrous to me. Apple depends on at least the belief that it has the best products to sustain its user base. If that belief starts to waver, so will their user base.
The vision is that the cost per unit of mass to orbit will come down massively with Starship, once it's launching like the Falcon. That will open up hitherto unimaginable missions and markets. And customers. It's all about the the cost!
