Much of the spacex workforce is manufacturing and construction peeps. Almost every part is made on site, for many reasons. As a result, the workforce is much larger than JPL. NASA and JPL are more 'customer' (to put it as Scott Manley did), and much of the stuff they have is outsourced from other companies. This leaves the NASA and JPL workforce more lean, naturally. Spacex has a lot of efficiency, and automation, but still needs such a workforce because of the size of the operation. The other half of the workforce make up the totality of NASA and JPL engineers and scientists for the operations themselves.

Ive heard a few times that SpaceX has a habit of trying to use a manufacturer, and burning them out due to speed and quantity, then as a result move that manufacturing inhouse either by buying the mfgs operation or starting a new one. NASA and JPL dont have this issue, because they are doing one-off things 99% of the time, and dont need a constant supply of widgets from a lone mfg.

And, SpaceX is more than a single rocket op. Falcon, starlink sat and starlink terminal, starship, are four, just to name the majors. These all require different types of people and while theres some overlap on them, are all specialized. Consider this, NASA and JPL contract out all of the various systems for a rocket and payload. Spacex, with the exception of customer payloads, does everything. That means a whole slew of systems need to be built. SpaceX doesnt contract a life support system or engine out, its all inhouse. And there is way way way more than a rover, in fact as far as i know, there is no spacex rover in plan, thats NASA stuff, SpaceX is aiming for people, and a long term (18+ month) ship is much more complex than power and telemetry for a rover payload.

Yes, but if a contract specified, say, a five year probation period, that almost certainly would be 'unreasonable' and not enforceable.

And yes, an employer does not have to specify a probationary period if they don't want to.

Why not count taxes and regulatory charges ?
It gets worse than that: it rewards people who try to break the law as much as possible without getting caught, while people who follow it are punished.

That's true of most laws, but the system punishes law breakers to make it better to follow the law overall. When the law is vague and subjective, the people who get the most reward are the ones who are willing to see how far they can push it.

Show HN: Free tool to convert newsletters to RSS feeds
I created a small free tool that gives you an email address, and every email that’s sent to it is added to the resulting RSS feed.

Similar tools exist already, the most well-known one is killthenewsletter, but imo it’s always good to have alternatives.

You can try it out here: https://lighthouseapp.io/tools/newsletter-to-rss

I tried to keep the time until an email shows up in the feed as low as possible. In my tests emails arrived at the inbox about 10-20 seconds after they’re sent, and then processing takes ~30s, usually it’s faster. The file is cached for 1min. So the maximum time until an email shows up in the feed should be 2min.

>But what is the official Russian position on it? Can it be called a war there?

Of course it can and is called war in Russia. You just missing the point: war is a juridical term. Technically neither Russia nor Ukraine are in war with each other. That's why officially it's called "Special Military Operation", and in Ukraine it was for years "Antiterrorists Operation", and recently rebranded as "armed aggression of Russian Federation against Ukraine sovereignty".

>The "peaceful" annexation of Crimea also came with Russian funding of separatist groups in eastern Ukraine and the shooting down of civilian aircraft. How peaceful is that?

Your should learn some history and geography. Crimea is a peninsula in Black Sea, majority of population are ethnic Russians. Russian special forces entered Crimea after the coup in Kiev, and peacefully blocked Ukrainian military there and let referendum happen, so it was annexed. Most of Ukrainian soldiers stayed in Crimea and were from Crimea, got Russian citizenship just like all the other population. Those who refused were peacefully allowed to return to Ukrainian territory.

Donbas is an Eastern region of Ukraine. First of all, how coup in Kiev happened? Ukrainian nationalists, driven by the idea of Ukraine dropping sovereignty and joining EU and NATO, attacked multiple military and police headquarters, got armed, entered Kiev, and after several weeks of riots in the capital that ended with mass shooting there, managed to force elected President of Ukraine and his government to flee. If you're unaware, this president was installed mostly by people in the Eastern Ukraine, opposing to previous one, that was voted in by Western part of Ukraine. So, basically, Western oligarchs (Ukraine during its 30+ years of independence was ruled by several oligarch clans originating from either Western (agricultural) or Eastern (industrial) part of Ukraine), their nationalists backed by USA embassy and Viki Nuland herself seized power in Ukraine. So Donbas with some help from remaining Eastern oligarchs started the uprising in Donetsk and Lughansk, and declared, that they want their rights for their language, religion etc be preserved (Most of Eastern Ukraine population are ethnic Russians and basically was part of Russia until 1922 or so, when Lenin gifted this territory and people to Ukrainian SSR). These people also started to raid police and military bases, got armed. So, coup government in Ukraine, instead of talking to these people, announced "antiterrorists operation" and moved army to get Donbass under control, and they started from bombing Lughansk. That's basically how it turned to war.

As to civilian plane, it was shot down many weeks after direct confrontation started, and it's up to this day very arguable who actually shot it down, as the court in Netherlands turned this case into the same farce as investigation of Nord Stream sabotage, where they were using only facts that suits their version, and ignored everything, that didn't fit the picture.

> Tsar Bomba is a potent example of how nationalism, fear, and high-technology can combine in a fashion that is ultimately dangerous, wasteful, and pointless.

Yep. Some similar grandstanding by the Chinese Army in 1960s accelerated the Indian nuclear weapons programme (overriding the utter lack of political will of its then primary leaders). After, buoyed by newly acquired capabilities, in 1980s, the Indian Army conducted largest ever military exercise (Operation Brasstacks) providing much needed impetus & driving consensus in Pakistan to push forward no matter the cost, embodied in this notorious quip by their ex Prime Minister, "[Pakistan] will eat grass, even go hungry, but we will get one of our own [atomic weapon]."

> Linux doesn't support it due to requiring an FPU.

I have used Linux on a 386SX which did not have any FPU. Linux had x87 floating point emulation for a long time (AFAIK, that emulation has since been removed, together with the rest of the support for very old CPUs).

The main reasons Linux doesn't support the 80286 are AFAIK that the 80286 is a 16-bit CPU, and Linux (other than the short-lived ELKS fork) has never supported 16-bit CPUs; and that the 80286 doesn't have paging (it has only segmentation), which would require running it as a "no-MMU" CPU.

If you're early career, getting a household name on your resume can pay dividends for decades to come, even though the actual job (day to day work, compensation) will probably be not that great.

Conversely, if you're late career, selling yourself as being able to introduce BigCo know-how to a startup can be lucrative.
I don’t think anything about Japanese culture or generalizations like that tell you much about this.

Physical products: you are buying them for their software. That’s why you choose an iPhone over an Android phone. They’re all rectangles with screens.

When Sonos screwed up its app it was a crisis because: people pay for the software not the hardware.

Is this true about cars? EV design is converging. It will be. CarPlay controversy is a great example: people choose cars that support it.

Vanmoofs have a lot of hardware problems but the reason people bought them was software (like location tracking and e-Shifting).

So “well known when it comes to physical products,” that may be, but all products are software products.

“Software is eating the world” was all about like, replacing human labor or whatever, disruption. Marc Andreesen thinks he was saying something forward looking when it was all backward looking.

The story is differentiation and customer choices. Truly forward looking. But are Japanese firms incapable of that? Of course not.

Once there was a guy on here who said he had the brilliant idea of using a web browser to make an airplane UI. Listen brother, everybody knows how to write good software. It’s a business strategy not execution problem.
When I was in my early 20s I had a few friends who were obsessed with traveling and would do stuff like this to maximize long blocks of time off, then they'd pick where to go because now they have 9 days instead of 4, and decide where to go backed on what time of year they had that longer block.

If your trying to maximize "contiguous days off" and you truly don't care when it is, a tool like this is super helpful.

This is brilliant! It just shows what can be done with the raspberry pi and other small computers, and some time! I love seeing stuff like this and the like. BlueSCSI is another example. If you think outside the box, the pi can act as a DPU, to an extent, for machines. It can already act as a KVM… and the PiKVM project has the option of mounting storage to the host, and even networking. Very cool stuff!
So potentially there’s a full text search case (?) for doing this but I’d always just default to adding documents like this to elastic search instead. I just cannot see a good use case for this and lots of bad ones.
Getting fit and healthy is an objective, you now choose concrete sub objectives (such as running), more concrete objectives included buying a pair of running shoes. Like many things, inflection points along the way make all the difference. Details matter, just not all details.

Similarly, a higher level objective to "getting fit and healthy" might be "achieve long life" which in itself may have a range of sub objectives and varying levels of abstraction. So yeah, all just objectives, no "the what", no "the how".
What could those do special?
Yeah, fairly cheap. Can grab a sandwich for about the price of metro fare.
No way. The professionals I've seen use way, way simpler formats, often just simple lists of ingredients with very minimal instructions.

If anything, these formats capture way too much information. For example, you can't really measure cooking times reliably unless you do sous-vide, if you want to be precise, measure temperature.

The Galaxy S7 definitely had this feature.

The problem is, it was basically useless. The main use case for heart rate monitoring is continuously throughout the day/night, or during exercise. A watch is very good at this. An optical sensor on the back of your phone is not.

Periodically checking your heart rate by holding your phone in a specific way is not a useful feature for that many people.
> Neutrality and Empathy

i have somewhat ..doubts.. about the latter. Showing Empathy and Being Empathic are different things, first being just a theather, easily overdone and moving into familiarity (How are you Honey, today? You're so great! from some random nurse in hospital. Or hairdresser.. Like that robot from Wall-E..). And that puts me into defensive, or maybe even, "ignore-those-BS" mode. Maybe i've seen too many Fake smiles.. and i overreact it. But IMO the border between above two is very difficult to walk.
PowerShell does something similar with their pipelines, see e.g. the answer [0] and the question it answers. Something similar happens in Bash: $x refers not to the string $x, but to the list of the strings that you get by splitting the original string by IFS.

I do agree with what you say and also have nice memories of 8086 segmentation. I find it funny that we are continuously forced to add workaround on top of workarounds to the flat address space in order to avoid accidental memory errors. Segmentation had all that decades ago, and easier debugability to begin with. But it is clear to me that we are moving again towards something like that, even if enforced at a different level.

Your link does not say what your summary says. The Wiki article just says the Hakassi joined the Soviet revolution (presumably happily) and moved from nomadic to modern livelihoods. No mention of a massacre.

Now, I am not saying that a massacre didn't happen. But it also didn't happen they way you are implying. This wasn't "the Communists oppressed poor tribesmen" but rather "imperialistic 18th century power steamrolls some natives". I can name a few more imperialistic powers of the period that did the same or worse.

Also, the Hakassi culture is descended from Mongols, not Finns. Why are they more Finnish than Russian? That's right, because they are not. In fact, Hakassia is nowhere near Finland (it's in the middle of Siberia), but linking to the Finnish Wikipedia makes it seem like another little European country attacked by the Ogre Horde.

Lastly, you say that tiny Finnish stub article has more details than the Russian Wikipedia, and that is simply not true. In addition to the main article, there is a link from it specifically to a standalone article about Hakassia's inclusion into Russia, which is described as "painful": https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%.... The events are covered in great detail starting with the 1600s.

Does this explain why your comment is mostly Russophobia?

During military conflict, preserving lives of valuable and highly trained personnel has been paramount for USA. With a huge amount of resources and manpower available to the US, effectively the entire western world, materiel is essentially replaceable but pilots and crew are extremely finite.

They can just make another plane. Yes, it's 100 million dollars. But when you print dollars and the entire western world serves to make these jets (2% of GDP), the pilots are going to be the limiting factor. I think every aspect of the plane's production can simply be fairly rapidly scaled up, except for the pilots and the forgings.

What also hurts is damaging the plane's reputation. That is costly beyond calculation.
> Not sure that's how it works. I think the river/streams while changing it's course exposes the fossils.

That gives me another hypothesis, about how they died together. Some of those critters dug burrows, we still find those today[1]. It's likely sometimes those burrows caved in, entombing its inhabitants. Perhaps they were sheltering in their burrow, and died together when it caved. Then their remains spent thousands of years undisturbed underground, until the river changed course, exposing them.

Interesting set of Raku features to focus on...

The most important Raku features are Command Line Interface (CLI) and grammars.

CLI support is a _usual_ feature -- see "docopt" implementations (and adoption), for example. But CLI is built-in in Raku and nice to use.

As for the grammars -- it is _unusual_ a programming language to have grammars as "first class citizens" and to give the ability to create (compose) grammars using Object-Oriented Programming.

wiki is adequate most of the time for proper nouns.
I think you can "spoof" gps satellite timestamp transmissions with single transmitter inside the train. This would require on-train equipment but typically the trains know where they are and could translate that into the required gps satellites and timestamp signatures to allow any devices onboard to acquire a "gps" signal and decode the location using timestamp variation.

I don't believe any of those are encrypted and transmit ~1000-10000 time per second on 1500-1600mhz spectrum which is fairly simple to reproduce using even a cheap SDR kit.

It could also work with 0 input from the train's telemetry - in much the same way as the app - the device would get a reference gps signal (or wifi/BLE when it knows it's in the station), then with a built-in accelerometer (which it has the luxury of direction + stability if it's mounted in the train car) it can determine with greater accuracy where the train is and how far it's moved.
Was just about to say the same thing. I don't care as much about the structure but the presentation. Something I have also disliked is how recipes are standardized around ingredients and quantities at the top and steps below. I often have a recipe open on my phone and I find its a non-optimal instruction set.

Have been doing something exactly like yourself to split it into functionally two parts, there is the shopping list and for me the optimal steps of prep/cooking which includes the quantity for each item.
Yes, pre-packaged food is often poor quality when the shops are looking for the cheapest providers. That also applies to supermarkets, but they usually have better marketing and so customers think they're getting a much better product than they actually receive.
Show HN: 8arms – Marketing Campaign Generation
We just re-launched 8arms.ai after a long hiatus. It's a marketing campaign generation tool.

---

What it does:

The idea is you tell us what you're trying to market to the world, your audience, tone of voice and your goals for this campaign - we will then do the rest of the work and generate you a bunch of relevant, targeted content.

You then flick through the blog posts one by one, making any corrections you deem necessary. You are the subject matter expert, we are just your humble assistant.

We then generate you a set of scheduled and varied social media posts that relate to your content and campaign goals.

The final output is a content calendar which will tell you what to post and when in order to meet your campaign goals.

---

Why we love it:

The process of building a solid content marketing campaign usually takes marketers 4+ weeks to put together for a 3 month long campaign. With 8arms, the average time can be reduced down to one day for brand new start-ups / indie hackers.

We don't expect 8arms to replace anyone, just give people a decent leg up on their marketing journey.

---

Starter plans are free for 30 days - no credit card details required at all. We'd love some feedback on the product - especially if you intend to use it to market a new startup / product.

Thanks!
