> Starship is designed to be able to launch bulk cargo into LEO in >100 T chunks for <$10m per launch,

So, for the cost of a single SLS launch ($4B), Starship would be able to put the mass of the battleship USS Texas into orbit.

If the cost is reduced to $1M/launch, it could put the mass of four Nimitz-class nuclear aircraft carriers into orbit.

Don't choose such a unpopular candidate as Kamala. Have a primary instead of appointing someone.
American social networks are already banned in China and have been for a long time. Even TikTok doesn't operate in China because they have a different message they want for their own citizens. Douyin - the Chinese version of Tiktok - promotes learning about science and technology, shuts down at night, and limits how much children are allowed to use it.
Yep, the pure delusional thinking required to seriously run for the presidency when they don't have a single elected federal position anywhere. It's beyond absurd.
The author claims that the reason people reach for namedtuples is brevity, but I'd argue to the contrary and include the modern syntax for defining a namedtuple. The syntax is nearly identical to TypedDict and dataclass.

There are other reasons to reach for namedtuples, for example when order or iterability matter. I don't see a general rule of not using namedtuples in APIs to be that useful. Use the right tool when the need calls for it.

Sad truth.
If we are talking about election interference what should we say about the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story just prior to the 2020 election.
This include the politicization of the CIA/FBI to suppress the story by influencing social media companies, then getting 50 intel officers to all lie in unison that it had "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation".

By any measure this is way worse than some stupid accounting classification with regard to hush money for a porn star?

I agree but would like to point out that I have seen several groups of dancers practicing K-pop dance or something I don't know outside of Sydney convention center recently. So it seems there is still a social circle where people dance but not ballroom or salsa.

1) That's a list of systemd features. Some of which are nice to have, but none of which are needed for the software I mentioned.

2) On-upgrade merge conflicts for entirely-unmodified-from-their-stock-settings system configuration files are why I gave up on Ubuntu. Systemd doesn't solve anything here.

3) Systemd doesn't handle BIND configuration... or any non-systemd application configuration. And most nontrivial init systems (with systemd as one notable exception) have facilities for printing info, warn, and error messages in service startup files rather than demanding that you pick through the application logs to find out why startup failed.
I think this comment[1] from the post's author does a good job of answering this:

> I would word the intended message as "whether or not someone shares our values is not directly relevant to whether one should cooperate with them". Moral alignment is not directly relevant to the decision; it enters only indirectly, in reasoning about things like the need for enforcement or reputational costs. Monstrous morals should not be an immediate deal-breaker in their own right; they should weigh on the scales via trust and reputation costs, but that weight is not infinite.*

> I don't really think of it as "pro-cooperation" or "anti-cooperation"; there is no "pro-cooperation" "side" which I'm trying to advocate here.

You only get + or -.

I love to see a wry comment being taken seriously too and this one did not disappoint.
"What I want to do is this. I just want to find, uh, 11,780 votes"
The article you link is from April 2021, before the inflation burst and the subsequent recovery. You're not seriously saying that people are voting against economic conditions that prevailed three months into the Biden presidency?

Again, this idea is just wrong! And I hear it from people on, as you point out, both the left and the right. And it's wrong, as a simple matter of data! Something terrible happened with messaging this cycle.
The Fed is really not printing anything, and they have a lot of power to control money supply through open market operations. It is incredibly efficient when doing this, and can increase the cost of capital very quickly. But like you said, it is hard to come to a definite conclusion or come up with a proof.
The other parts of the equation that I mentioned are very hard for anyone to control.
> In my past life, I was a chef. I owned a restaurant in Ireland. I only purchased the cheapest Chinese truffles money could buy. Why? People only want to taste the oil anyway. I've worked with high end white truffles and the flavor is very vague. I'd estimate that I've eaten several hundred grams of white truffle.

Doesnt that have a lot to do with region? I ask because I worked all over Europe and N. America during my chef days and I can definitely tell you that my stint in Croatia made me realize that truffles are not that highly regarded--I saw black ones thinly sliced on slices of $1.50 pizza slices at the bakery during the heavy season--when they are plentiful, and the oil was entirely non-existant. What wasn't used was canned and labeled a delicacy next to the little spreadable ham things that sold for like 80 cents back then.

While when I was in Italy you rarely saw them on menus outside of 100+ euro a menu places and typically only in season--I worked in mainly farm to tables is in the Emilia Romanga area so we got lots of parama ingredients all year round but truffles were a special occasion kind of affair that was limited to maybe 3 weeks or a so a year.

In London I just took it for granted that this was a marketing ploy to get the people in the city to justify the wildly expensive outings a reservation/menu cost, and in Cornwall they didn't even care about them at all. Germany, and Switzerland were pretty much the same.

I didn't have truffle oil until I got back to the US, and it was used for innocuous things like fries in a steak frites entree.

> I feel like "consider dataclasses as a useful default" is decent advice.

I agree.

> You get the stuff you get from `NamedTuple`, but you can also easily add helper methods to the class as needed. And there are other dataclass goodies (though some things I find to be a bit anti-feature-y).

I've seen examples where dataclasses were used when order matters, however, hence why I'm not comfortable with a general rule against namedtuples. Sometimes order and iterability matter, and dogmatically reaching for a different data type that doesn't preserve that information might be the wrong choice.

This labdslide Trump/Republican victory feels like the first glimmer of hope ever since mankind has been sliding down one slippery slope after the other since 9/11.

Trump has assembled a truly kickass team. If Musk and Kennedy actually get to be able to pull off what they have planned, the entire world will become a significantly better place.

- The US will hold Bitcoin - other countries will follow, we will be one step closer to having a new global reserve currency that cannot be abused as an economic weapon by the big bully in the room. The potential for global peace is finally in reach.
- Seed oils will be banned or at least villified
- Childhood vaccines will be banned or at least made optional
- The entire demonic trans movement will be cancelled, confused children will no longer be mutilated
- Academics will be able to speak their minds again, actual science can be conducted again
- Americans will eat and export the best beef on the planet, and it will be shown to be hugely beneficial for human health and for the environment
- The entire climate hysteria hoax will collapse - our children will no longer have to live in baseless fear of the future.

This is just from the top of my head. If the deep state doesn't finally succeed in another assassination attempt, the US is going to rise again as an indisputable super power.
So you're saying constant teasing is a fun way to weed out the jerks. Sounds about what I experience it to be. Never thought of it like that though: thanks!

You know it's the law in the US to have health insurance? Literally everyone must have health insurance otherwise you get penalized.

If you have health insurance it's not going to bankrupt you.

I know plenty of people without a job and are poor in the US... guess what? They get free healthcare. They don't pay a penny. You can even give birth and not pay a penny out of pocket if you are on Medical.

The US has a large population on free healthcare. California actually has quite a large "socialist" state. Lots of things are free or near free for people people. Similar to Canada or Europe. No one talks about it though.
I think for the same reason you should avoid TypedDicts for new APIs as well. Dataclasses are the natural replacement for both.

If republicans take the house and they already have the senate, and he has Scrotus, the first bill banning abortion federally from the House will pass the Senate and end up on his desk. I have no doubt that he will gleefully sign it.
You're being sarcastic but there was a video from Ohio posted a year ago and retweeted by Rufo after the debate. In it, the cameraman in an African American accent was exclaiming that his neighbors were grilling cats. Hard to verify that they were cats from video resolution and distance to the grill, but they were distinctively four-legged, skinned, and three of them fit on the grill at once...
Like imagine if China owned CNN and the New York Times and decided what stories they could publish.

Radio and TV have not had the addictive effects that 'social media' has on many. So many people of all ages struggle to put their phone down for an extended amount of time. So many choose to scroll or swipe instead of socializing outside/with others.

People talk about Rupert Murdock and Jeff Bezos all the time. Who else do you feel we should talk about? There is that one conservative owner of most radio stations in the US.

> People don’t like Musk owning Twitter/X, that’s a start

After Elon took over, he deleted my Twitter account. Still not sure why, but it happened around the time reporters who retweeted #Elonjet had their accounts deleted. And I did retweet it.

Media consolidation is an issue, but Musk with Twitter is so petty, racist, and blatantly self serving. I refuse to be associated with it.

traditional media != social media. The potential for manipulation is much greater with social media.

They prove you right?
If you want "universal healthcare" aka "free" healthcare, just quit your job.

Make below 40k or whatever the threshold is and you get Medical in California. It's basically free healthcare.

And if you have a job.. well then you have health insurance, and you won't go bankrupt because of it. And you get much better quality healthcare than in Canada.

Yeah, my 7950X is also limited to ~90W nominal (which is ~120W actual) - full power (170/230 or so) is very loud, rapidly wears out the weak-ass VRMs on my Asus B650 board (lesson: Asus can't be blindly trusted anymore), and buys 0-5% of performance.
> Most critical is the disappearance of dance

What is that idea that people don't dance? How and where people dance change, but people still dance. Example are:

- Professional dancers, and other performers with a dance component

- Partner dancers, who usually do in in some sort of club

- Partygoers, going to night clubs, music festivals and raves

- Fitness, doing aerobics or whatever name the latest "dance as exercise" thing has

- People in house parties, dancing with friends for birthdays, new years,...

- People dancing in front of a camera, for some social media

- Street dancers

- People just dancing alone at home

Maybe there are less balls with live musicians, but there are new trends related to dancing. Remember flash mobs? Where people just get together, dance for a few minutes and leave. And TikTok, one of the most popular social network today was built on people doing silly dances, and it is still a major component.
My actual passport photo is like that. We were on vacation, sunny place, warm, no pant, only a boxer. And only nature around us, no white wall. So I put on a nice shirt, was still in my boxer, and wife held a white towel behind my face while someone took a picture.

On the original pic you could somehow see that it was a towel and not a white wall but some photoshopping took care of that.

Why a shirt while in underwear? A shirt looks "serious". And real people like that. They like a shirt, it looks serious. As to why the boxer underwear: for the same reason as in TFA.

Next time I'll show up with the complete picture and cut it in front of the person asking me for the picture.

I would have thought the data is self evident, here you go.

Women account for 51.1% population .

There are 25(15D:9R) female senators (25%)

There are 126(92D:34R) congresswomen (29%)

There are 2424 (1583D:815R) female state legislators (32.3%).

In addition to be poorly represented they are mostly democrats with 2-3:1 split from republicans.

It is important to note that ratio grows poorer higher the office , beyond senate it is 45:1 for VPs historically and 46:0 for presidency .

Given the higher life expectancy for women and fact that political office comes late in life they should be if anything more than 50% if gender does not play a significant role.

if not misogyny then it is on you to show why either women are specifically unqualified(!) or unwilling or uninterested in public office and why republican women in office are disproportionately missing in what is already low numbers
I loved this game growing up as it was one of the few games which ran well on our family computer, despite not having an internet connection to participate in any of the PvP elements. It was probably the most played game of my childhood. I've also logged almost 300 hours in the redux version on steam.

Interestingly, since I didn't have the internet to participate in the MMO elements of the game, my views of it are entirely rooted in the storyline and campaigns. The community is something I haven't experienced. And none of these netcode or pvp bugs or phantom players showed up there.

I love the game. In the single player modes, you can play as the NSDF (US) forces, USSR, (and later as the Chinese forces too) in a sci-fi retelling of the space race where you discover alien relics throughout our solar system and try to piece together where they came from, and more importantly, where they went. And it did this while combining a first-person vehicle combat mode with a top-down RTS system that, in my opinion, worked really well together. And I still take inspiration from it in hobby game projects I work on.

Now that I've grown up as a software developer I've thrown so many hours into writing Lua scripts to build my own missions and AI, and creating custom maps!

> It's the economy, stupid

Probably not.

1) Exit poll data show that every household income band was basically evenly split between Trump and Harris.

2) Religions, on the other hand, were not split evenly at all. Evangelical Christians went extremely hard for Trump. Catholics and other Protestants followed too. But that's it. Jews, Atheists, other[0] religion demographics? They went for Harris.

Are you suggesting that only Christians pay grocery bills?

So what's the scenario where a voter ID check makes a difference - specifically, where an ID check eliminates more fake votes than it disenfranchises genuine voters?

The ID check is presumably still attached to the envelope rather than the ballot, right? (Otherwise you have massive deanonymity problems). If there is fake voter registration happening, presumably obtaining fake IDs by the same methods is just as easy.

I'm sure a certain amount of e.g. individuals submitting their dead relatives' ballots happens - but anyone doing that can probably grab their relative's ID too, and go to two polling stations. I doubt any large-scale partisan fraud via in-person submission at polling stations is going on, because it's impractical to make that happen while keeping it secret - the only way it could happen would be with widespread official collusion, and again in that case an ID check wouldn't move the needle.
