The crew were likely alive, but not conscious.

The crew capsule experienced high g force on multiple axis' pretty quickly after the explosion.

That's enough force to put even the best fighter pilots to sleep VERY quickly.

Nasa also concluded that the emergency air system wouldn't have been sufficient to maintain consciousness with a complete loss of cabin pressure at their altitude. (https://www.nasa.gov/missions/space-shuttle/sts-51l/challeng...).

The emergency air system was designed for an evacuation on the ground, not at altitude.

I think both sentiments are true.

What I think the parent post was highlighting was how some people self sabotage because they don't like the effort or expectations to achieve their own goals. It is not that they are quitting to optimize their satisfaction elsewhere, but quitting without an alternative for satisfaction- essentially overvaluing their time, while spending it unsatisfied.

In some sense, it is like a protest vote against reality.
I was recently in Copenhagen as a tourist, taking one of the little tour boats around the canal, and the tour guide explained these nice kayaks which you can get for free if you return having picked up some garbage from the canal. According to him, this actually has been too successful as there now isn't much trash available to be found in the canal anymore, so the kayaks have become less popular. An interesting example of perverse incentives?

From a big tech POV, a political scandal would be most PR-damaging right before a big US election. The time from right after to two years before or so, it wouldn't be as big a deal. Once you open Pandora's box, then a scandal in the next election cycle wouldn't be as big of a deal in terms of the company's responsibility/optics since the tech is already out there and it's a "new normal" at that point.
Is it feasible to try to build this kind of approach (hot SSD cache nodes sitting in front of object storage) with prior open-source art (Lucene)? Or are the search indexes themselves also proprietary in this solution?

> it's easier than ever to develop software

I agree that there are a lot more solved problems, but I find it much more complicated to develop software now than in the past. You used the example of web front ends, but how large is that toolchain? How many different steps and tools do you need to be familiar with to take a project from concept to end user?
So it sounds like these PNNs are essentially analog implementations of neural nets? Seems like an odd choice of naming to call them 'physical'.
I know almost nothing about non-profit fundraising, but this benefits tier membership model looks very familiar as a tech for-profit service, rather than a charitable non-profit for the benefit of all.

(Specifically, in a tech, like a SaaS, the free tier are sales leads and inflated "market share" numbers, and the premium tier are the real customers of the service value you're providing and is your whole reason for existing. In a charity, however, you don't measure out benefits based on how much that person is paying you. Though a charity will have special recognition for exceptional donations, like the donor's name listed on some page, or mentioned as a sponsor of an event.)

Given the dire runway situation they were in, I wonder whether they sent out a recent urgent appeal to their free-tier, as more like a charity, asking for donations? (And if so, was the obvious benefits tier model hurting any charitable goodwill they might've otherwise generated?) Or did they try to push their free-tier members an upsell to their premium tier, like a business? Or neither?

This was undoubtedly true (and not even close) 20 years ago. As technology changes, it can be worth revisiting some of these axioms to see if they still hold. Since virtual circuits require smart switches for the entire shared path, there are literal network effects making it hard to adopt.

Yep. Fluke, an electrical instrument manufacturer, has a copyright on the look and feel of its handheld digital voltmeters (DVMs). Anyone in the industry will immediately know a Fluke by what it looks like. And they are pretty much the gold standard of handheld DVMs.

Some years ago, a containerload of cheap DVMs from China arrived with a similar appearance, but not made by Fluke. Customs seized the lot and informed them. I forget the details of what happened next, but they were not allowed to be sold in the US since they were in violation of the Fluke copyright.

I feel like IAM is not actually that complicated? Most services have permissions that are in direct correspondence with the API calls you want to make. Of course a few of them decided to do mad shit (looking at you API Gateway), and a few others require you to have nearly all permissions to do some of their most common API calls (S3 needs like 15 permissions to set all possible properies on an S3 object).

It’d be nice if AWS could fix the madness and standardize on one List/Update/Create/Delete call per resource, since most services are already like that.

This is the best explanation I've seen yet.

The summary is that you want a buffer of air between the hot gasses of the running motor and the o-ring seal such tat the air gets compressed but remains between the hot gasses and the o-ring thus insulating the o-ring from the hot gasses. But to avoid a pressurization test NASA went with a two-o-ring scheme where the space between them is pressurized, which forces the inner o-ring to be on the wrong side of where it should be, thus leaving little or no air buffer between that o-ring and the hot gasses. That in turn can cause point failures in the inner o-ring which will result in concentrated jets of hot gasses impinging on the outer o-ring which then cannot hold (because the pressure isn't uniform across the o-ring's circumference, instead it's concentrated on a point). Add the cold o-ring brittleness and boom.

Is SLS still using this o-ring design?? I sure hope not.
Interestingly enough, my personal philosophy is to write all backend code as if it is a library for my future self.

That is to say, I want to be able to forget everything about a project and still have the resources I need to use the project code as if it were a black box consumable library.
That's how it works when an industry is flush with candidates. Software development is the "in thing" right now, so software businesses have endless people to choose from, and thus get to be picky. All that goes out the window when you start having difficulty finding people to hire, though.

If you aren't opposed to Google, "Keep" seems to be fairly well suited for this kind of thing. You can share to it easily on android, it supports a bunch of organizational things (labels, colors, archiving) but they're not in the way if you want to ignore them, and the browser version works great. If you're attached to the chat style, then it might not be perfect, but it's easy to use it as a continually appended log style experience.

Must incentives exists in perpetuity? I would say the next course of action is come up with incentives for the next thing that needs incentivizing. Once that's done, move on to the next, so on and so forth. If there's a lapse and now there's a lot of trash again, restore the original incentives, etc.
PNNs resemble neural networks, however at least part of the system is analog rather than digital,
meaning that part or all the input/output data is encoded continuously in a physical parameter, and the weights can also be physical,
with the ultimate goal of surpassing digital hardware in performance or efficiency.

I am trying to understand what format does a node take in PNNs. Is it a transistor? Or is it more complex than that? Or, is it a combination of a few things such as analog signal and some other sensors which work together to form a single node that looks like the one we are all familiar with?

Can anyone please help me understand what exactly is "physical" about PNNs?

Entry-level jobs have become scarce. Someone fresh out of bootcamp, or fresh from self-studying with or without LLMs, will try to get one of those entry-level jobs. You will compete with hundreds of thousands of people who have experience but got laid off, and people with CS or related degrees (more credible than bootcamps and self-study to most employers).

Bootcamps mainly focus on teaching a small set of specific skills - Ruby/Rails, JS/React, etc. A developer has to know at least one language and set of tools, but that's not sufficient to get a job, or work on real software projects. I think bootcamps gave the best value to experienced programmers looking to expand their toolbox, and to give newbies a chance to see if they can learn the skills at all. As a path to actual employment bootcamps never did all that well, and with the current job market you might just be throwing money away. Depends a lot on the person and the bootcamp, of course.

Anecdotally (I have 40+ years of professional programming experience, so a lot of anecdotal evidence) almost all serious programmers I've known mainly taught themselves, with lots of practice, and mentoring if they got lucky. Few employers offer real training, mentoring, or career development so you're mostly on your own. And even if you get good with several years of practice, persuading a potential employer that you can add value and work with a team will require good soft skills on your part, and a leap of faith on theirs.
How is that a perverse incentive? It's reached a steady state after an initial (and predicable) overshoot.

Publishing the source code makes it

but that code is under the Business Source License, which is not an open source license.

What an odd person. I can't figure the Estonia thing out either. I think the idea is to provide plausible deniability that the company is operating in the EU??? By incorporating in the EU but doing nothing else there? I can't imagine what specific legal and tax headaches one would escape that way.

The CE marking is super simple in principle, right? Just self-certify that you meet all applicable European regulations, and that's when the fun starts. It would be impenetrable to do from scratch but as "negative zero" points out, you can bootstrap from looking at competing products' declarations of conformity.

Adding dynamic content to your Shopify store using App Proxies and Django
Hey HN,

I recently launch a side project selling software on Shopify and needed a way to for users to manage their software license. Shopify's sample Django app was out dated and didn't implement all of the security features so I've improved it and wrote a guide on how to set it up.

I've found Shopify to be a good platform for selling software minus a few things like subscriptions. It's nice to have most of the e-commerce features like discount codes, analytics, order management taken care of. The only limitation is their free subscription management app is very limited so you might need to pay or build an app to take care of that.

Hopefully, this should give you a head start on adding custom functionality to your next Shopify side project.
Maybe this whole cryptographic stuff has some use, but all that which was needed was for GitHub to declare when a file was uploaded manually and when by a workflow (specifying which workflow).

Not perverse; that incentive seems to have worked as expected. If they're running out of trash to pick out of the canal, they could expand the program to include sidewalk or other trash.

(The "perverse" variant would be people dumping garbage into the canal to earn free kayak rides, similar to the "Cobra Effect" story.)

There are no economies of scale required. This is not a commercial venture, and it's not required to be commercially viable. This is a strategic and political program, and as a jobs program it is wonderfully executed - the more to throw away, the more jobs will be required for the next iteration.
You're right that political systems are far too complex to get perfect in a thought experiment, but I would argue that thinking about it ahead of time can't possibly be worse than blindly forging ahead.
