Also, pretty sure she's leaning into the "Mrs. Frizzle" vibes.
Me too. I’d put rip currents in the general category of beach safety, though, along with paying attention to incoming waves when you’re in range of them, being aware of safe places to exit the water, being aware of tides, etc.

Sneaker waves are among the unusual location-specific risks that are why one should research the specific beach before playing there.
>"Doing something" isn't a goal in itself.

Almost all space activity, with the exception of satellite launches, is useless. Let's say we build a Mars and Moon colony, then what? You do it, because you want it as a goal in itself. If you don't grasp that, you don't understand anything about space.

The same fundamental problem also applies to the idea of an economy that is 100% productive and that consumption is evil. If you get rid of consumers, you can also get rid of the producers. You can get rid of the economy. No human existence can be justified under the guise of "productivity" unless that productivity leads up to some consumptive activity.
There are two things that control the ruling headway on a subway system. The first is platform dwell time. While a train is stopped at a station, you cannot let another train move into its position as if it was going to start moving on schedule, because it's actually quite likely that it won't. Given that platform dwell time is about 30s, and taking into account time needed to decelerate and accelerate to/from a stopped position, this limits minimum headways to about 1m.

Similarly, switch fouling time is another constraint: you don't want to move a switch while a train is allowed to path over it, in case the switch fails to switch. From what I've heard of existing urban systems, this leads to a minimum headway of ~90s, although I don't know how much of that is signal-induced padding.

The next thing to point out is that these are theoretical maximum density; the practical maximum operational usage is generally far less. Most subway systems have the physical capability of operating ~45TPH on a subway line, yet you'll notice that extremely few do. Moscow Metro has managed 40TPH on an unbranched line; branched lines struggle to get to 30TPH, and heavily reverse-branched systems like the DC Metro or NYC Subway struggle to make even 20TPH. Introduce branches into the mix, and you need trains to make it onto the mainline in slots, and there's going to be variance in arrival time because the system is used by humans; reverse branches makes the problem worse because these slots need to line up well on multiple lines at the same time.

> Trains would be able to hitch and unhitch whilst moving 100 mph, allowing different loads to be sent different directions and different sets of passengers to stop at different stations.

No. There's a reason railroads have banned the practice of unhitching at speed (it's incredibly dangerous), and hitching is even worse. And if you're talking about EMU passenger train sets, most of them are designed to not be hitched or unhitched particularly frequently--these aren't your standard automatic coupler system (which doesn't couple brake lines or electrical lines or other things automatically anyways, FWIW).

I'm wondering if the problem has something to do with TCP retransmissions exploding the number of DNS requests. In the iodine client terminal there was a continuous flow of DNS requests and (most of the time) answers, so the communication at that level was kind-of working... but at the SSH level, it was practically unusable.

To my knowledge, in the case of NASA’s launch contracts, only US companies are allowed to bid on these. It’s quite understandable that Europe would like to keep domestic capabilities the same way NASA aims to maintain the US’ domestic capabilities.

> Nashville-based Girls in Tech Inc. may be forced to shut down by the end of summer. [...] needs to raise $100,000 or it faces imminent closure. [...] Girls in Tech has a membership of 130,000 "women and allies" across 50 cities and 38 countries.

Was the membership base already tapped out, or the org didn't reach out to the membership on this, or the org had larger near-term funding needs than the immediate $100K?

Also, is it possible that funding isn't the only consideration? For example, even if the org could be saved with heroics, there's opportunity cost to leadership (personal, professional)?
There are lots of possible definitions for success— making it until death parts you is the obvious one, but "success" can also be producing fruit in terms of community, family, or even career.

And there are of course marriages that make it until death, but the partners and everyone around them spend the whole time miserable; that's hardly a success either.
India's First Data Privacy Awareness Card Game
Good for that guy, sounds like he got out of a bad place. I'd absolutely quit if someone tried to force me to be on-call without an enormous pay raise (e.g. at least local minimum wage for every hour I have to be responsive to calls, regardless of whether a call actually comes in).
This looks like a huge overkill to solve the problem that's while real, isn't really so difficult to solve with existing tools... Kind of reminds me of Jucero.

Also, any solution of this kind will inevitably introduce a number of new problems proportionate to the internal complexity of such solution. I.e. this is just asking for a lot of problems, while offering very little in return.
Reading some of the comments it seems you get a different video each time and I just happened to get one that does look exactly like what I would expect and what you described.
The economy and startup world isn't a zero sum game.

Ultimately the AI play* is open source for the foreseeable future, even more so for AMD if they want to sell their chips.

And if Silo AI's people accelerate competition in the AI HW space by accelerating Triton development/ raising the industry's competitive edge against Nvidia, we all benefit from stronger competition.

And in most other European startup hot spots, senior staff/ founders with previous exits reinvested their earnings into the domestic startup scene through founding again or becoming Business Angels or going VC.

I see this as a huge net win.

> There was a lot of hubris in the project in the beginning and now it’s clear that they are years behind.

That may be true of other projects, but LEO communications satellite constellations have a history of going bankrupt. Cost is very relevant in this case.

I guess 40-50% is technically a fraction.
That is the most sarcastic thing I have read in weeks.

But isn't getting a software stack the exact kind of thing they need? Is there no overlap in the skills at the purchased company and the skills needed to make the AMD software stack not suck?
We fired staff members for not coming in. This is one of those things where if everyone refuses then what are they going to do? Fire them all?

Long term, I'd be wary though.
How is them going down related to the market? They are a non-profit.

This is pure speculation but I would imagine that they reasons for closing are likely resource related (most likely financial) as organisers and managers can be replaced
Show HN: Check any crypto wallet address for unclaimed airdrops
I'm a fairly active onchain user (and a developer) and I like to try out new apps, networks and protocols. Some projects reward their early users by airdropping them tokens.
The problem is, with so many different networks, wallets and addresses I've used over time, it's easy to miss these airdrops. Projects usually require you to claim the tokens manually, and before that, you need to check each address's eligibility one at a time. That is, if you even hear about the airdrop before the claiming period expires.

I built AirdropHunt.fun so I would never miss an airdrop again.

To put it simply:
1. Check any address for unclaimed airdrops
2. Save and track address by logging in with Telegram
3. Keep getting Telegram alerts if any of your saved addresses become eligible for future airdrops
> OTOH, the harder (but better in the long run) way to create value with FOSS and Free Software particular to have stellar support and reliability. i.e.: Your code can be deployed, compiled, or built upon, but you're the best source to get the software in the first place.

...It's not obvious to me that the person who originally wrote the software is necessarily better positioned to support the software. Everyone has the current source code, so from that standpoint it's a level playing field. Another party could come in and build a business as the premier support consultants without most of the original developer's startup costs.

Now, I'm not sure if this has ever actually happened. If it hasn't, maybe I'm wrong. I would like to be wrong.
I suppose you could say 40 years ago London had Tottenham Court Road full of little electronics shops, the rest of the UK had at least all their local Maplins, all of Germany was plastered with Conrad Electronics, plenty of car boot sales for vac tubes, military spare optics (man, Russia-made stuff in 1990 - great optical quality, built to not just survive a nuclear strike but to be used for yhr counterstrike ... sold for a song), and so on. Nevermind the cornershops for electronic spare parts. Beijing had its block of electronics shops somewhere near Tsinghua University 20 years ago when I was there selling questionable CPUs to retail by the tray (half of them ceramic blanks).

I'm not sure why and when exactly things have changed, but it looks that between pihut and amazon, not much "toyz" were left. I must admit though that the web has made it easier to learn/work alone; you used to go somewhere that taught you how to solder, somewhere that told you resistor color coding, tra nsistor number meanings, yadayada - now you watch it on youtube. The social aspect is gone; even makerspaces are often "just" the 3D printing and woodworking crowds, with little electonics.

What wisdom do you expect people to drive from something not having a property until it has that property?
Not me, but I've had a direct peer fired because they did not comply. They received recurring monthly notices for about 6 months and were then terminated (no severance or other allowances were given that are typically given to performance-based termination).

This peer was typically evaluated as a high performer during performance reviews, but was denied for their request to remain remote, and they decided to ignore the order and accept the consequences.

The organization is also actively monitoring and blocking bonuses and promos for those who are not fully ignoring the mandate but are not meeting the full expectation.

"If you don't grasp that, you don't understand anything about space."

That's quite a self-confident, if not arrogant, take, which also misinterpretes my words.

Ariane 6 is a launcher, not a Moon base. Launchers should strive to be economical, because there is a real orbital economy, as you admit, and because the entities which launch them may be cash-strapped.

You yourself wouldn't buy a car or a bicycle that would have to be discarded after the first trip.

Or if your point is that Ariane 6 is basically a white elephant project, well, that would be pretty damning.
Imagine AMD simply put that $665M into tooling and driver development. The stock probably would have doubled.
Then they keep launching with lower strictness "because it worked last time" until something else fails. Feynman's section of the investigation report is basically the argument that's what was already happening at NASA and the O-rings were just the first thing to fail catastrophically.
It is important to understand the reasons for that negative correlation. If you do, your conclusions would be quite the opposite - sex imbalance is not something to accept, but rather to fix. Many authoritarian regimes are expanding their economic base by enabling women to pursue professional careers. In some developed countries there’s no such pressure, so they are simply stuck in the past. They are not doing better because women are enslaved in the kitchen or take only stereotypical jobs. It’s just ideological and/or religious trap.
"It doesn't matter what the market effect was, only that Google engineers meant well" is certainly an argument, but it both contradicts the question you originally asked (are customers better off), and also (to be blunt) is a really heckin bad argument.

I'm just kind of blown away by the rapid shift from "this helped consumers", to "actually, no, the effect was minimal", to "actually, it doesn't matter if anybody was harmed, the result is immaterial." :)
Kind of reminds me also what Google Wave could have been, if it wasn't killed.
It's really going to come down to which firm you're at and who your manager is. I'm at a smaller shop currently, and it's great. I basically work 8-5 most days, sometimes a little later if processes don't come up cleanly for market open at 5P (CME basically operates 23 hours a day with different trading sessions).

There are firms that are more like sweatshops. I spent roughly a decade at Citadel; when I started, average tenure was thought to be about 18 months. Hours were brutal, but it largely depended on your manager. I had one (he was fired 6 months after I started) that insisted on 80 hour weeks, ass in seat, no work from home, not even on the weekends. The kicker was, my team didn't even have the work at the time to justify all of us pulling 80 hour weeks. I also spent months at times pulling 100 hour weeks. That is, if you slept, it was at your desk (there were cots/sleeping bags available, but I never saw anyone bother). Maybe go home every 2nd or 3rd day for a change of clothes (you could shower at the office). Then, I had other managers where it was more 8-5. But, I was always on call 24/7, even while on vacation. That was the truly rough part. I would say on a whole, the reputation of working for Citadel is worse than it deserves, but it really matters who your manager is. That said, not sure I know anyone left at Citadel anymore other than Ken G. (I've been gone over a decade now).

My best advice when you're interviewing people, ask pointed questions about work-life balance. Avoid asking overly broad questions like "How's the work/life balance?". Instead prefer: "When was the last time you took a 2 or 3 week vacation?"

edit:
At my current role, I do sometimes work outside of 8-5 and on weekends, but its because I choose to, because I'm working on something interesting that excites me. I'm not expected to, and no one gives me a hard time if I don't.
Just the default task dependency tree for a build.gradle/settings.grade. And sure, a default project might be pretty simple but add one or two plugins and it gets very unsimple very quickly. And no JVM project is using Gradle without leveraging at least a few plugins. At my last job I did this for a simple generic cron style service project (perhaps maybe 10-15 Java files, including tests) and still ended up with a task dependency tree of hundreds of nodes, due to the plugins.

I don't think that's the reason (it is a side effect though). What makes you think that?
When I was about 10, I was able to swim but I was not great at it.

For some reason (I think someone dived just in front of me), I needed to stop swimming and ended "vertical" in the water. It was quite unusual for me at the time. For a moment, I tried to go back to swim horizontally on the belly, without success. Then tried on the back, no success either. After a few tries, I began panicking like it is said the the video: I was just climbing an invisible ladder... A guard finally helped me reach the border of the pool and that was over.

After that, I tried to put me under the same circumstances: vertical in the water, 2 m from the border. And then convert to horizontal swimming. Every time it was easy. To this day, I still have no clue why I was not able to do that

> Is there a distinction between them as far as "women in tech" goes?

One involves being good at software engineering, the other involves being good at running a business.

Getting good at either involves very different experiences, schools, colleges, and mentors.

The stereotype* for software engineers when I went through my degree was introverted nerds with undeveloped social skills. The stereotype* for business people is cocaine orgies.

* to complain that the stereotype is inaccurate is to miss the impact of the stereotype on what choices people make when deciding which subject to do a degree in and hence where they go after graduation

> The ratio of both compared to men is pretty much the same.

The percentage of software developers who are women varies from 8-22% depending on my source.

Even if they were identical, correlation doesn't mean causation — this range of "% of x who are women" also overlapps with the percentage of furries who are women, and it should hopefully be obvious you can't answer that by asking anything about how many women are entrepreneurs.

I have seen data presented multiple times showing the relation between a country’s wealth and/or economic freedom and women’s participation in stem fields.

This lines up with my experiences as well. I know plenty of eastern european women, asians and latinas working as programmers. on top of that I've talked to many that didn't know how to code but would ask me to teach them as soon as they heard I was a programmer. yet I have met only a small handful of white women from america that are software engineers. furthermore, the ones that aren't engineers (in general) seem more dismissive of my line of work as if its somehow beneath them.
I'm confused as to why this needs to be standardized? OTel makes sense because multiple applications can consume metrics and logs. Feature flags are typically contained within a company and they typically don't need to be transferred across to other places.
I work on ML networks used for industrial control systems that characterize defects in the product and determine what to do about them. Not what normal people think of when they hear "AI", but it's not really much different from what LLMs are built on.

I'm saying it's an advantage since they publish their techniques, and you replicate it without having to do the research internally. It's better than this being dropped by a government agency or having most users notice that there are mostly only bots on the platform like they are now.
