In a similar boat (small team, have to balance new stuff, maintenance, customer requests, bugs, etc).

We ended up with a system where we break work up into things that take about a day. If someone thinks something is going to take a long time then we try to break it down until some part of it can be done in about a day. So we kinda side-step the problem of having people able to focus on something for weeks by not letting anything take weeks. The same person will probably end up working on the smaller tasks, but they can more easily jump between things as priorities change, and pretty often after doing a few of the smaller tasks either more of us can jump in or we realize we don't actually need to do the rest of it.

It also helps keep PRs reasonably sized (if you do PRs).
Seems like a perfectly valid question to me. Why the flagging? Redirecting to IndiGoGo makes it look like it's not yet a real product. Linking directly to the product mentioned when the link was provided seems like a much more helpful thing rather than some generic self promotion. So is the product being pitched actually being sold as claimed, or is it hoping to become a product while looking for funding?

So, why is the link redirecting?

It absolutely is. Don’t know the details. But there is usually a minimum purchase guarantee by the buyer.

Probably. Though collecting might be difficult.

Damages, no. Concessions? Probably.
I said "Raleigh doubled its zoned density overnight." You said "No they did not" and "No city has implemented anything like zoning reform." Both of these are false.

You can refer to the text changes. They doubled the zoned density in nearly every residential zoning type in the city. It is a huge change, though I suppose you can claim that's not "reform" if you want. It is sufficiently reformative for my purposes of increasing urban density over time.

Changes will take time to kick in, and obviously they should take time to kick in because simply clicking a button and doubling actual built density would crater the economy. It makes no sense. The zoning change removes an artificial restriction on the natural supply/demand curve, so now supply can grow as-needed in the forms desired.
This and many other suggestions have been explored, and usually found wanting (see e.g. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/knowledge-analysis/#NoFal...).
The solution here is to build tooling to track dependencies in statically linked binaries. There is no inherent reason that has to be tightly coupled to the dynamic dispatch model of shared objects. (In other words, the current situation is not an inherent fact about packaging. Rather, it is path-dependent.)

For instance, many modern languages use techniques that are simply incompatible with dynamic dispatch. Some languages like Swift have focused on dynamic dispatch, but mostly because it was a fundamental requirement placed on their development teams by executives.

While there is a place for dynamic dispatch in software, there is also no inherent justification for dynamic dispatch boundaries to be exactly at organizational ones. (For example, there is no inherent justification for the dynamic dispatch boundary to be exactly at the places a binary calls into zlib.)

edit: I guess loading up a .so is more commonly called "dynamic binding". But it is fundamentally dynamic dispatch, ie figuring out what version of a function to call at runtime.

The old reason for shared libraries was to share memory/cache and not waste disk space. That's not gone, but maybe it's less important than it used to be.

The modern reason is maintenance. If 100 apps are using libfoo, in practice nobody is going to maintain a hundred separate versions of libfoo. That means your choices are a) have hundreds of broken versions nobody is maintaining spread all over, or b) maintain a small number of major releases forked at the point where compatibility breaks, so that every version of 1.x.x is compatible with the latest version of 1.x.x and every version of 2.x.x is compatible with the latest version of 2.x.x, and somebody is maintaining a recent version of each series, so you can include it as a shared library that everything else links against.

But then you need libraries to limit compatibility-breaking changes to once or twice a decade.
I'm not sure if this counts as being "empowered to be more productive", but both Airbnb and Uber are (to me, at least) still miles ahead of what were the only options pre-Airbnb and pre-Uber.

The hotel experience of course was (and is) not universally bad, but I still prefer an Airbnb in most cases, for most trips I take. And when it comes to taxis... no thanks. Unless I have foreknowledge that taxis are significantly cheaper than Uber/Lyft in a place I'm visiting, I will take that Uber/Lyft every single time.

Airbnb is certainly more fraught, given the problems for communities that rampant short-term rentals can cause. And I won't claim that Uber/Lyft is fair to their drivers. But I don't really care if they had to break laws to get where they are. Sometimes laws are wrong. Sometimes laws are the result of corruption and lobbying that isn't in the interests of the actual constituents. "Social expectations" is a bit of a weird thing to bring up, since it's so amorphous and hard to pin down. I don't think I ever had any "social expectation" that people can't rent out their house or apartment for a few days or a week. I don't think I ever had any "social expectation" that the only way to hire a car was to call a number that often doesn't pick up, and then wait 30-60 minutes for a car that often doesn't ever arrive.

>It's really hard to discuss any topic that brushes SpaceX tangentially on HN. I asked about the research, not about the rockets, but if one even mentions SpaceX in anything less than glowing terms they get six (so far) responses re rockets, all defending SpaceX, and not a mention of the research.

Everyone's just pointing out the obvious fact that SLS wasn't going to be able to do the mission on time or at cost anyway, so the delays were happening regardless, and Falcon Heavy was the only other option. You phrased your question with the assumption that SLS was going to launch on-time, added in the implication that SpaceX lobbied for the launch and caused research to be delayed by a few years, then decided to complain that everyone else was being biased.

>NASA and SLS are actually the property of the people posting; their mission is to serve all Americans. SpaceX is a private business, whose mission is to serve only itself and, in the practice of its owner's businesses, has zero regard for everyone else.

SLS is the property of Boeing, another private business. Its mission is to transfer vast sums of taxpayer money to Boeing under a contract whose terms remove any expectations of good performance and whose use in Artemis is legally mandated by Congress for no technical reason. The NASA Office of Inspector General has constantly been expressing serious concerns over how bad of a deal SLS is for the American people. We've also had genuine technological progress held back because Congressmen wanted to transfer money to SLS. Its ever inflating costs threaten actually useful science programs every year. I don't see how anyone who actually wants American leadership in space can support it.

SpaceX, as you have noted, is also a private business. With NASA being one of its biggest customers, they are obviously beholden to NASA's desires. Unlike Boeing, who has explicitly expressed their intent to refuse contracts which properly hold the company responsible for under-performing, SpaceX consistently insists on such contracts. Currently, they provide most launch services to NASA and have saved NASA billions over the years. They maintain a mutually beneficial relationship, where NASA gains all sorts of valuable data and capabilities from SpaceX's private development efforts, and SpaceX gains business from NASA.

If you're dismissing this as a social media influence thing, despite all the technical points presented to you, then all that shows is that you were just concern trolling in your original post and have no interest in actually having your question answered.
Hmm. Maybe for a model that attracts hobbyists. But they have to cross the manufacturer's moat, and those guys do not want you to repair your own shit.

Superfastmatt on YT put a 50s jag on a tesla drivetrain. But, IIRC, he took care not to mix-n-match, in order to sidestep integration work.

Obviously an electric vehicle doesn't have fuel injection, so s/ecu/motor controller/g. But I understand what you mean.
Exactly, this is my concern as well. They say you have to be seated for 5 minutes at least, completely relaxed, not hungry, not having to go the bathroom, in a quiet a room, it must not be too hot or too cold, with both your feet on the ground, before you can have your blood pressure measured, otherwise the reading could be 'artificially' high. Really? It seems to me that if you do all these preparations, the reading will be artificially low, since such conditions are nothing like the conditions that you'll typically find yourself in through the day in your everyday life.

Surprising absolutely no one, I hope. Credibility seems difficult to generate for Tesla events. Maybe the secret sauce for Robotaxis is a human driver somewhere watching the cameras. Like driving Uber but from the comfort of home, and it's easy to hit the fridge or bathroom between rides.

I love JPL's straightforward bio:

https://www.nasa.gov/jpl/jet-propulsion-laboratory-history/

"JPL led the U.S. into space with Explorer 1, the first U.S. satellite, and joined NASA shortly after the agency formed in 1958. JPL spacecraft have flown to every planet in the solar system, the Sun, and into interstellar space in a quest to better understand the origins of the universe, and of life."

Not many organizations can say that: We've flown to every planet in the solar system. Wow. (And of course, they've done more than that.)
> Indeed your commentary consists entirely of snarky side tangents

I informed you that you are describing a model. And asked you a question about it, which you did not answer.

You are presenting your uncharitable take as representative of my stance, and then knocking it down with ease.

Might the same be happening with China in discussions in Western media (mainstream, social, etc)?

How could "worseness" of various platforms and these two countries even be calculated in a reasonably objective, unbiased manner? Is such a thing even possible?
>This gives an accurate reading and is often DRAMATICALLY lower

Just because it gives lower results doesn't mean it's more accurate. I can raise my arm during measurement or use a tourniquet above the cuff and get a lower result. That doesn't mean the measurement is accurate at all.

There are standardized procedures on how to measure BP. Your "accurate" method is not one of them.
> I do think python would make emacs more accessible

It would not be Emacs anymore. Emacs is specifically tied to Lisp. Emacs is not a text editor that uses Lisp as the configuration language. Emacs is a Lisp machine that has a text editor built into it.

An "Emacs-like" editor built on Python might be interesting, but it wouldn't be a "better Emacs" or even "like Emacs", it would be a completely different thing.

You may dislike Lisp, you may even hate Lisp, but the fact remains unchanged - there is an emerging class of applications that is significantly more difficult to build around non-homoiconic languages. Emacs is one of them. Stop fetishizing your favorite programming language as the quintessence of Emacs. The best one can do is to build a compiler/transpiler to spit out Lisp code, and people have tried that. Yet somehow, in over forty years nobody has succeeded in dethroning Elisp from ruling Emacs.

Except, the structure isn't 3500 years old. The find is no doubt interesting but the Greeks did not start their colonization until almost 1000 years later, as the actual article text explains. The settlement might be 3500 years old, but the Greeks (who build the structure) came much later.

Small nuclear plants have been tried and failed
multiple times.
A local IT shop still has a poster up urging people to hire them to update their PCs from Windows 7 to 10 when its EOL was around the corner...
That’s ok. They can be wrong :-)

Nuclear power has almost unlimited downsides
and fairly limited upsides.

It’s at least as expensive (and mostly more) to maintain a nuclear power station
As any other form of (non-carbon) power generation - and the costs of catastrophic failure and orders of magnitude higher.

This is just back of the envelope maths. Cost to maintain a power station of X GW for 100 years is X, cost to maintain solar panels of X GW for 100 years is Y. Cost of total catastrophic failure in fifty years of solar panels because the country fell apart is small y. Cost of total catastrophic failure of fission reactor is huge great X.

The simplest analysis just comes up with huge downsides.

Look I take the train past Battersea powerstation most days. It was built 100 years ago at the height (?) of the British Empire. It became disused as Britain fell into bankruptcy in the 70s and was left to fester for decades before people realised a vast shopping centre in the middle of London was quite nice.

If it was nuclear it would still be sealed off, any slacking of maintenance, any cost saving too far, would fuck up the world’s greatest city .

And if you think the worlds most powerful and richest country could always afford the very best maintenance - let me introduce you to political decision making in the 1960s, industrial policy in the 1970s and human beings who tend to hope as a strategy.

It’s not hard to pretend the obvious won’t happen, and if you take the risk sometimes you will be right. And the cautious man will look silly.

But in the end Warren Buffet looks more sensible than Dick Fuld.

And even Warren is aware he pays far less tax relative to his maid.
But it’s upto us to fix that just as it’s upto us to not make bad investment choices as a society that we will pay costly annual fees for centuries to come.

> All honor to Kairos if they can deliver, but history is against them.

History is not really against them. Our current reactors (mainly pressurized water reactors) are the way they are because Admiral Rickover determined that PWRs are the best option for submarines. He was not wrong, but civilian power reactors are not the same as the reactors powering submarines.

PWRs are expensive mainly because of the huge pressure inside the reactor core, about 150 times higher than the atmospheric pressure. For comparison, a pressure cooker has an internal pressure about 5 times higher than the atmospheric pressure, and such a cooker can explode with a pretty loud bang.

The Kairos Hermes reactor design is based on a design that was tested in the '60s, the Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment [1]. While such a reactor can be used to burn thorium, Kairos decided to go with the far more conventional approach of burning U-235. The reactor operates at approximately regular atmospheric pressure. This should reduce considerably the construction costs.

Of course, there are unknowns. While the world has built thousands of pressurized water reactors, it has built maybe 10 molten salt reactors. For example one quite unexpected effect in the MSRE was the enbrittlement of the reactor vessel caused by tellurium, which shows up as a fission product when U-235 burns.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is a very conservative organization, and they don't have much experience with molten salt reactors because nobody has. It took them 6 years to give NuScale an approval for a pressurized water reactor, design that they knew in and out. My guess is that they will not give Kairos an approval without at least 15 years of testing. But Google's agreement with Kairos is quite crucial to keep this testing going.

Does that mean a removable battery because who is to say that your bikes brand of batteries is going to be available for purchase tomorrow?
Another issue is people were “testing” them using an RTLSDR which very easily gets overloaded and shows harmonics where there are none. Even my local FM station shows up on my SDR at frequencies I know they’re not actually transmitting on.
Good catch. We'll fix that. Thanks!
Quite disconcerting to have a low-latency chat with something that sounds like you! Can recommend the experience, very thought-provoking.
> The main argument for using shared libraries isn’t memory or disk usage, but simply security.

“The” main argument? In a world filled with diverse concerns, there isn’t just one argument that makes a decision. Additionally, security is one of those things where practically everything is a trade off. Eg: by having lots of things link against a single shared library, that library becomes a juicy target.

> With a shared zlib, you will have to update only one package.

We are back to efficiency :)
That's not what they mean. They're saying, inside of a parking lot, cars can get into and out of the parking spaces solely by driving in the aisles and outer vehicle paths. They don't need to drive directly in front of the storefronts at all. People on foot have to walk directly in front of the storefront because they need to go inside. Making the innermost path in parking lots a pedestrian only path and restricting motor vehicles to the outer parts of a parking lot would be a much easier win than legalizing jaywalking and trying to get rid of crosswalks to make actual streets pedestrian centric like they were a hundred years ago.
Microsoft expects a large number of Windows 10 users to abandon their computer and purchase a new one. "Having a PC" versus "not having a PC" is a pretty big difference.

Generally the worst case is two weeks. In the middle of winter you often get cloudy low wind days for that long. Of course how you handle those worse cases are days need not be how you handle typical. If you can handle 16 hours of no input this will over the typical cases this will be enough to max a massive dent in carbon emissions and we can fall back to existing gas (or even coal) plants for the rest. Plus a lot of power use can turn off when needed - give my company a discount and we can turn the factory off.
