I remember reading something about how in old Twitter high profile political figures and representatives were allowed more leniency in how their account were moderated because it was considered more important that their message be seen out in the open. There's still some lines that shouldn't be crossed, but I don't think it's unreasonable to apply different standards for world leaders when their words carry the weight of their country. When a diplomat visits a foreign country they also don't have the same laws applied to them, broadly speaking.

Trump in particular was limit testing constantly, and eventually it became clear that he crossed too many lines. We also have the benefit of being able to look back and see that all of his attempts at proving the elections were rigged have failed in the courts.

"The capsule" here means a decade of R&D and half a decade building production models. If turnaround is about 6-8 months, they're going to need at least two and I'll bet they build three or more because reuse and refurb won't go as well as they hope.

That means about 10 years of R&D since they got the initial contracts and then about half a decade of production for the flight articles and then a wind-down of a couple years and a skeleton crew to make the last few flights.

A 15-20 year project that sends dozens of people to space for the last years of the ISS's lifetime is not going to be a disappointment for 95% of the people who worked on this.

The fact that it was sold, but the selling was not announced, is incredibly shady. Normally, a developer shouts it from the rooftops, so it makes me raise an eyebrow and wonder if a condition of the sale was to not announce the sale.

Its not at all, even if you mean “social media age”, and not “information age”, it's just one of the first (there are other disputed candidates, e.g., in Ukraine) that are getting first world attention other than after-the-fact.

The Rohingya genocide in Myanmar in which Facebook’s role was widely discussed (largely, in the first world, after the fact) was probably the first social media age genocide, if you don't restrict it to ones with immediate first-world attention at a significant level.

Part of this is a corruption in the field/industry that results from greed and chasing a gold rush.

Many "AI/ML" teams have been doing more alchemy than science.

One memorable team "revelation" was when they figured out the hard way that many objects and human subjects, in particular, register completely differently based on the imaging spectrum used (e.g. human visible light, versus near infrared wavelengths).

People familiar with the "old ways" probably would have considered this to be obvious, but it seems that the "new ways" are often correlated with an absence of domain knowledge related to what the "new ways" are being applied to. This isn't a new story, and history seems to repeat itself.
Official tables can have either style.

Please don't misinterpret this as gate keeping, but Vulkan is designed by and for professionals (not hobbyists). It is certainly not a rapid prototyping tool. Vulkan and OpenGL aren't comparable because Vulkan isn't merely a graphics API, but rather it's a low-level GPU API. For example you can use Vulkan in place of CUDA for running highly parallelized computations on the GPU (no graphics implied).
From some quick reading it seems like the crewed Dream Chaser is intended to fly without a fairing. The cargo version's ability to fold the wings and fly within a fairing seems to be for 1) compliance with NASAs CRS-2 requirements, 2) wide compatibility with existing boosters that weren't designed for the forces that flying without a fairing would create.

Could be spin from Sierra but that's what they were saying to the press as of 2015 when they announced the cargo variant.

The whole point of Lisp is to allow you, the programmer, to make the language that makes it easiest to write the program you're trying to write. Said language will be syntactic abstractions in Lisp primarily built out of Lisp macros, but there are additional means available to integrate your language idea into Lisp outside of macros.

So, really, Lisp is in exact agreement with your position, with one proviso: Pick the language that makes it easiest to write the program you're trying to write—and express that language in Lisp.

Case in point: Lisp does have a powerful type system that rivals Haskell. Full type inference, multi-parameter type classes, parametric polymorphism. It's called Coalton[1], and it's... just another Lisp library.

Whether or not you can be bothered to spend the effort to align Lisp to your domain is another question, but the mere fact it's both possible and reasonable to do is a testament to what some people mean by statements like "Lisp is powerful".

Also I already know what you’re saying is true, doesn’t change the fact the food has something off about it now. I don’t recall people having midnight black shits and stomach pain from eating McDonald’s in the 90s.

I have a different theory. There are tons of wars and conflicts in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia vs Yemen, Iran vs Irak, Pakistan vs India, civil war in Syria, civil war in Somalia, civil war in Sudan, and everybody else is fighting ISIS. It’s not like the US/West are not involved or that the conflicts are any less bloody or that the parties have "better reasons" to kill each other. And still, they receive no where near as much attention and criticism as Israel/Palestine. I also don’t think the reason is antisemitism (at least in the West). I think the reason is that the West has to view everything through the lens of the culture war: it’s white vs brown and white is evil, therefore Israel is evil.

You cannot call any criticism of Israel or its hold over US politics anti-semitic just because Israel happens to be Jewish majority. When people criticize the US they aren't automatically anti America, any other country holds the same.

US presidents always visit Israel and cater to it if they want to be elected, it has 0 to do with Judaism or the fact that Israel is founded on Jewish principles.

you definitely missed some...

"Although it was originally planned for a 2017 launch,[15] various delays pushed the launch back to no earlier than July 2023.[47] Then on June 1, 2023, Boeing announced the flight was indefinitely delayed, due to problems with the parachute harness and flammable tape on wiring.[105] On August 7, 2023, Boeing announced that it was resuming preparations for a launch, and that it hoped to resolve the issue with the flammable tape by September 2023, and to address the parachute harness issues by November 2023.

The Crewed Flight Test was tentatively scheduled for a launch date of May 6, 2024,[106] but due to a problem with an oxygen valve on the ULA Atlas rocket, the May 6 launch date was cancelled approximately two hours before the planned launch time.[107] The launch has been further delayed due to a helium leak in the Starliner service module, which was originally discovered during the May 6 launch attempt.[108][109]

A launch was attempted on June 1, 2024, for 16:25 UTC (12:25 PM EDT), but was aborted at 3 minutes and 50 seconds prior to liftoff. Starliner successfully completed countdown and lifted off on June 5, 2024 at 14:52 UTC (10:52 AM EDT)."

While no fan of former president Reagan, he called the Israeli attacks on Lebanon a "holocaust" and stopped Israeli atrocities against Lebanon by threatening cutting off US aide. Now all our representatives line up behind Israel in their perpetration of genocide-- especial Biden.

I don’t think you understand. It’s not 7 launches per capsule. There could be 7 launches in total for this.
Not really accurate at all.

The lowest the RTT gets is six minutes but that is a brief period every couple of years. The longest RTT is 45 minutes.

Even 6 minutes makes any kind of tele-operation infeasible and require system to function autonomously. This restricts the kinds of science that are currently possible.
Starliner is put on top of the rocket, not next to it.

This is the lamest of all excuses.

It's a very unlikely for one, we haven't had an extinction asteroid in 65 million years. Detection and mapping is very good today, and they're relatively simple to deflect given even with current technology, and a long enough lead time. Obsessing about asteroid impact is just an excuse to engage in fantasy.

But saying "We can improve our understanding of ecology by [designing] artificial biosphere", is just the chef's kiss of bullshittery. It's like saying, that we can understand the ocean by getting a fish bowl. Not exactly, and it certainly won't teach us anything about the actual biosphere. Instead, all you'd learn about is atmosphere scrubbers and water reclamation.
And once you swap the labels on the lower left, it appears that the sign of the sin is reversed.
> In this particular case, is there any reason why we simply can't take their word for it?

My concern is that if we take their word for it, we're actually buying into two assumptions which (AFAIK) are both unproven:

1. That "Internal Monologues" (not consciously forced by attention) exist in the first place, as opposed to being false-memories generated after-the-fact by our brain to explain/document a non-language process that just occurred. (Similar to how our conscious brains pretend that we were in control of certain fast reflexes.)

2. Some people truly don't have them, as opposed to just not being aware of them.
No, it's merely incredibly difficult. Sustainable living off Earth is far beyond that.

Humans definitely can't leave. Humans are even less well suited to interstellar travel than they are to living at the bottom of the ocean, something they also don't do and have no idea how they could ever do.

So, with tremendous effort humans could visit one of their neighbouring planets. All of these planets are terrible. Mars is by far more hostile to life than anywhere humans have even visited, let alone had a permanent settlement. But we could do it. To what end?

Live here, or die here, those are your options and you should get used to it.

They won't reuse any Starliners 7 times. Twice is more likely. Three times reuse, perhaps. They can't refub in time to send the same craft up twice in a year as required by the contract so they'll need at least two. If anything goes wrong with either of those, they'll need a backup. Now they've got three for 6 flights. These vehicles will get one, two, or at best 3 launches and then retired to the scrap heap while SpaceX Dragon continues to ferry people to the ISS if it gets an extension and if not then to the first private orbital stations. Boeing should never again get a NASA contract after SLS and Starliner.
> Once the current stock of rockets it did launch on runs out they will have no launch vehicle.

Exactly.

Just to elaborate for your parent, the Atlas V which currently flies Starliner uses an RD-180 engine that's manufactured in Russia. ULA is no longer able to procure any more such engines, and a rocket with those engines are no longer legally allowed to fly DoD payloads. Which prompted ULA to retire Atlas V in favor of Vulcan.

I think someone from ULA or Boeing (I forget which) recently said that they've begun the process of certifying Starliner on Vulcan, although I'll have to go back and make sure I remember exactly what was said.
In theory it's possible to make a carbon-neutral methane rocket based on atmospheric CO2, though that depends on how completely the methane can be burned.

But also the partisan support for the ban, on partisan grounds, from Congress and the government agency integrated Media. Which is government interference with the ability to speak via that channel.

All of this "should be able to do what they want" is a nonexistent reality. It's fantasy.

This is a purely anecdotal response so I don't think anyone should draw big conclusions from my answer. In my experience, the farms and outlets that adhere to organic labeling tend to care more about the quality of the product. Obviously in theory, being organic is orthogonal to being tasty. But if you're going for "air-chilled, organic, free range chicken breast" you're probably just shopping for a tastier product than regular chicken breast. Do be careful about which organic labeling is on the product as there's subtle differences to different organic labels.

Weirdest thing about their propaganda is that it seems squarely aimed at older wealthier Americans and politicians. The amount of content produced targeted at anyone under the age of 40 is much smaller and less sophisticated. There's this narrative that Israel is "losing the propaganda war" but I think they're just targeting it towards major stakeholders. We're not the intended audience of the billboard - it's the editorial writer, the business leader, the member of congress (and their staff).

The Israel / Palestine conflict is one of those low-valence issues with the general public where a politician rarely gets punished for voting one way or another with the notable exception of cash lobbying and super PACs for/against a given candidate.

Interesting. You're probably right, and it makes me think of some similar but slightly different situations

For instance what about cafes having magazine subscriptions that they give you a password for when you buy from them, much like they might have a couple of newspapers lying around (or daily coffee news prints)

I wonder if that would count as fair dealing... Not "selling password access" but "giving password access to paying customers of our business"

I also wonder how it's really any different than bars doing big pay per view events where they charge a cover to get in so you can watch
I dunno, if you followed the falcon 9 test launches, each launch made progress and often surprised everyone. I expect that this system is bigger, more complicated and so that iterative success will be a little slower, but generally I think it will continue as it has been: each launch is an improvement over the previous one.
