Until you design and solder up a PCB with $50 worth of parts, then discover the timers can't do what you needed them to do. (Ask me how I know). If you're a hobbyist, the STM32 has so much more functionality, and I've wasted so much time trying to get the underpowered AVRs to work, I'll never touch them again.
There's definitely a lot of autoimmune type diseases that have mental and/or physical components.

Your endocrine system, sympathetic nervous system and central nervous system are all wired up together so of course changes/disfunctions in one can cause symptoms in another.

And there's lots of pathogens that cause "flu-like" symptoms, so it makes sense there could be multiple things that cause "UC-like" symptoms.
Yes it varied but the main format still stood - the serfs had a sizable share of the economic value and the lords did not have 99% share like they do today.

> Even the concept of the "church" being a single monolithic thing that received X% of wealth makes no sense

Church's own domains and the share that the church receives from the crops of a feudal lord's domain are different.

Why not? Unless you have severe allergies the excess additives will probably do very little to your health. And the quality of life and exhaustion wins probably make it a net win for you. Is it a principled stand?

Hetzner is a cloud platform. I don't think this is up for discussion.

Hetzner does have a far more limited catalog of managed services. It provides no function-as-a-service solution, metrics, kubernetes, etc. That's fine.

Link local addresses work the same as IPv6 addresses in the url bar, just make sure you're entering the full link local and not the first portion only. Static IPv6 is horrible to enter in browsers in general because you have to remember to [address] as well. Of course, if you're doing it for statically configured local DNS entries as in above then all of this is moot as you'd just use the name.
Then what is this hardware that you'd want to run in space, that needs more power than it can generate on its own?
The general idea is that if you care more about gameplay and features, use an existing engine, the engine itself takes advantage of Vulkan, or whatever backend is the most appropriate, so you don't have to.

OpenGL is kind of a middle ground. That's if you want to get technical, but not micromanage every detail and write pages of boilerplate. It is also a great introduction to graphics programming. More than an introduction actually, there is a lot you can do with OpenGL.

> There are large bespoke payloads (eg JWST) but these are inherently so expensive anyway the launch vehicle costs almost don't matter.

If launch costs are going to be $250M, you need a budget of that order of magnitude to make a mission viable. At that point, you might was well spend anywhere from $50M to $1B on the payload because that's where your budget is. Or, to put it another way, only payloads with a $50M to $1B budget can afford to exist if the launch costs are of the order of $250M.

However, if launch costs are of the order of $5M, then missions with much smaller budgets suddenly become economically viable. And there are a lot more potential missions out there with $10M budgets than there are missions with $500M budgets.

Satellites get smaller not only because the tech gets smaller, but because launch costs/kg are so expensive, or so limited. Currently it's worth spending $10M to reduce your mass by 10%, if doing so means you can reduce your launch costs by $25M. Or, if doing so means you can double your onboard station-keeping fuel, and double the lifespan of the satellite.

If launch costs are less and available upmass is higher, your budget for engineering to reduce your payload mass is less, and so is the reason to do so.
Wish Tutanota pushed out better information here. This is just a high-level overview.

Real mitigations include removing the telematics modules in the vehicle, often known as the Data Communications Module (DCM). Also replacing the default radio with a 3rd party radio can dispense with the embedded secondary LTE modem, GPS, hotspot, WiFi, etc.

Yes, exactly. This is what I was getting at!
Wealth always exists, and the world's wealth is always 100% at a given point, logically. The share that groups in the society take from that wealth is the topic here as another commenter explained. If the feudal lords could find a way to get 99% of that share like the billionaires do today, they would do it. But it was not possible. It has become possible because we let it happen.

Hello from Gainesville! Thanks for recommending the NASA Kennedy Visitor Complex. We will have to visit next time we make a trip to Orlando.
The idea of these phantom shares is pretty simple -- DTCC keeps the internal ledger of who has what in most cases. It usually takes a few days from when you buy a stock to when it's actually 'delivered' to your account. In the interim, your account shows you have the stock, but settlement and clearing are processes that were largely set up before we had telephones, and relied on paper.

So, for a minute (day or two, long weekend), any purchase of shares you make means you in fact don't have the shares yet, you have a promise of the shares from ... someone. Behind the scenes your broker works with settlement and clearing and exchanges to make sure you actually get them.

There are a bunch of good reasons we have this system now, and some bad ones, but it is the system we have.

So, the homework assignment is - what if everyone mostly used the same place to swap shares? That is DTCC; you save time and money every time you clear a trade against someone else who uses DTCC for clearing. Over time, DTCC has become a large multi-billion dollar company.

Next question - why can't DTCC 'print' shares for you against your balance sheet elsewhere, when it's hard to procure them in the market? They already do it all the time for a few days while waiting for shares to show up.

The speculation, and I emphasize that word, I do NOT have any knowledge of how true this is, is that DTCC + some large participants have turned this into a line of business, and that there are times (a short squeeze being the obvious one), when large numbers of shares are magicked up to ease the delivery / deal with buyside liquidity problems. By the way, it's not clear that this would be bad for the market as a whole. Stocks going to infinite because shorts got overexuberant isn't like the best thing for the market. And, obviously, neither is shorts having infinite credit to pick on companies whenever they want. You want some sort of fair playing field to play on. r/superstonk and r/wsb feel the current system is not fair.

What seems fairly incontrovertible is that more shares are passed around and traded on exchanges than are issued for many companies; that might be a fun rabbit hole to go down. When I read about this in 2019, there were some interesting detailed cases that were mentioned in the reporting. It's a real problem with the existing markets for issuers -- corporations -- that go public.

> Is dividing the victims along arbitrary class lines and arguing that most victims are not “middle class” supposed to make it better?

That was in reply to the parent comment, arguing this is a serious problem primarily for the "not-so-rich middle class" that is being ignored because we falsely imagine it's mainly a problem for banks and rich people.

In fact, the data suggests this really is primarily a problem for commercial landlords and property speculators, and the risks for typical homeowners is very low.

This is in sharp contrast to most media coverage, and the parent comment, which paint a picture of substantial risks that your personal home will be taken over by squatters. That is not true. The real level of risk to the average Spaniard is very roughly 2x the risk that they'll be murdered this year - not absolutely zero, but not very far from something you'd worry about day-to-day in Spain.
I've found that having the "username" visible along with a hidden "password" field, then keeping that after confirming the user is a password based user on the password entry screen is generally helpful for use with a password manager.

[Username] Visible
[Password] Hidden
[Next] Button Clicked
|
V
Server checks username and user type (password case)
|
V
[Username] Read Only
[Password] Visible, with any previously submitted value
[Login]

Similarly for account registration, with a hidden username field and a visible password field if separating the password and account initial entry.

Just my own experience with a lot of experiments on implementing an authentication system and supporting a password manager for self-serving purposes.

With WebGPU/wgpu you don't get mesh shaders, ray tracing or shader subgroup/wave/warp operations. Its feature set is comparable to Vulkan 1.0, and Vulkan has progressed a lot since.

And WebGPU still requires all the RenderPass setup code which is a lot of boilerplate that Vulkan no longer requires.
A lot of the pins on STM32 are 5 volt tolerant (and almost all of them are on the smaller devices).

My opinion/bias is that small companies shouldn't continuously reinvent the wheel and sacrifice end user UX just to keep things in house. I've been at so many companies that insisted on building some shitty in house version of some commonly available thing, done with minimal QA and scaling and UX design. A couple years later it has to be completely rewritten anyway but the people involved in its initial implementation are all gone and a bunch of new mistakes are made. If it's not a core business function / major feature, why not outsource it, if not at the app level, at least the platform level?

It's just another facet of the on premise vs cloud discussion, really. But having a single VM handle global multi tenant chat seems like a good way to ensure headaches later on, when it's harder to change things already in prod with existing customers...

> I'm not sure that's true.

From the OIG report[1]:

> We project the cost to fly a single SLS/Orion system through at least Artemis IV to be $4.1 billion per
launch at a cadence of approximately one mission per year.47 Building and launching one Orion capsule
costs approximately $1 billion, with an additional $300 million for the Service Module supplied by the
ESA through a barter agreement in exchange for ESA’s responsibility for ISS common system operating
costs, transportation costs to the ISS, and other ISS supporting services. In addition, we estimate the
single-use SLS will cost $2.2 billion to produce, including two rocket stages, two solid rocket boosters,
four RS-25 engines, and two stage adapters. Ground systems located at Kennedy where the launches
will take place—the Vehicle Assembly Building, Crawler-Transporter, Mobile Launcher 1, Launch Pad,
and Launch Control Center—are estimated to cost $568 million per year due to the large support
structure that must be maintained. The $4.1 billion total cost represents production of the rocket and
the operations needed to launch the SLS/Orion system including materials, labor, facilities, and
overhead, but does not include any money spent either on prior development of the system or for next-generation technologies such as the SLS’s Exploration Upper Stage, Orion’s docking system, or Mobile
Launcher 2.

> And we don't really yet know the cost of the EUS.

We have an idea of an initial cost estimate from this[2].

NASA agreed to buy 2 core stages and 2 EUSes for $3.2B. Since RS-25s are around $100M each and the SRBs are around $200M each, this pushes the cost of the rocket up to $2.4B, maybe a bit more.

Israel isn't involved in a genocide and it was their homeland once. If they are colonizer so is everyone else involved here at least. It doesn't carry any meaning.

Your tensions with Israel might indeed be understandable, meaning the prevalence of such animosity isn't really something new. In that regard I indeed believe that Israel needs to exist.

I also disagree that this was a plot by the west. Of course some pretty smart political moves enabled the foundation of Israel. But that was a special interest group. There were strategic considerations by nations involved, but there is much more to it.

If you want to get rid of your bad conscience of your colonial part, pointing your fingers at Israel surely is the wrong thing to do.

I'm reluctant to try this -- my experience with other attempts to try out tiling window managers on MacOS is that the just don't play nice. Windows get repositioned by normal interactions and the window manager is not able to wrangle them, and connecting external monitors is a disaster, and you end up with a situation where windows are overlapping in odd ways but you can't move them out of the way because the window manager is trying to manage them.

Does anyone have experience with this particular one and does it resolve these sorts of issues?

> The argument used to refute this is usually that people aren’t doing agile right and if only the people and companies were more competent and or did MORE Agile then things would be fine.

> Generally speaking successful tech companies don’t often put unskilled dispassionate middle managers in charge of software projects and don’t often use Agile processes

But do you think this problem is inherent to the agile process itself? We (as in "more technical department") manage to get our things done on time and budget with the same external agency. It might be due to us formulating clear expectations and behaviours and iterating over improvements, but I'd say this whole process of "lots of little steps" works fine for us.

On the other hand, when I think about it right now, we might be doing fine with a more traditional project management process too, because we are able to set expectations... Hm... not sure...

> Vulkan is an example of how the AAA gaming industry is skewed towards rendering quality and appearance. AAA game studios justify their budget with those very advanced engines and content, but there is a growing market of 2D/low poly game, because players are tired and realized they want gameplay, not graphics.

I think the driver here is more likely the financial reality of game development. High-fidelity graphics are incredibly expensive, and small game studios simply cannot produce them on a realistic timeline and budget. Would consumers reject indie games with AAA-quality graphics? I think not. It's just that few such games exist because it's not financially viable, and there is a large enough market that is fine with more stylized, lower-fidelity graphics.

I had a friend who bought a house that needed a lot of work. Before he could get started on the remodel, someone broke in to the empty house, changed the locks, and started occupying it.

I remember being shocked that someone could do this and be protected under the law. He had to follow a formal eviction process, even though they broke into his house and never had any agreement. The perpetrators were known to the police as professional squatters and they advised him on all the things to avoid doing so they wouldn’t countersue him, which was mind blowing.

Even weirder was to watch the reaction on his social media when he posted the story. A lot of people, including many of his friends, jumped to defending squatter’s rights or trying to make some broader point about inequality.

There’s something about squatting that appeals to people who think it’s always a RobinHood situation: Stealing from the rich, giving to the poor. It’s more fun to imagine these people as noble warriors against an unjust society, rather than seem them as people abusing the laws for personal gain at the expense of random victims. Even here on HN there are comments trying to downplay the issue by portraying the victims as mostly wealthy or landlords, which are presumably acceptable victims to people who like these kind of narratives.

For one, Starship+Superheavy will enable launching of large objects like space telescopes without forcing object in question to be engineered with expensive, delicate, failure-prone folding mechanisms (like the James Webb Space Telescope was). Just build the thing as big as it needs to be and launch it in its final form (aside from minor folding bits like solar panels).

It could have similar impact on other scientific missions like rovers and probes. The ceiling for what’s possible is much higher when you’re not having to question the worth of every gram and square millimeter.
It depends on the actual numbers, which usually don't support the fear coming from the media.
