What do you mean by per-launch capital cost? Maintenance? The increase in value of a F9 booster after use is more than the near-negligible per-launch maintenance cost.
That's because you can't really drive trains into buildings, and while you could technically do it with a bus, it's not that feasible nor that damaging. Flying a huge intercontinental airliner fully loaded with fuel into a building is quite different.

There's very good practical reasons the terrorists chose airplanes and not trains or buses.
I Stopped Wearing Shoes. My Wife Is Happier Than Ever

I used to own 10,000 pairs of shoes, so I had to buy an extra house just to have room to store all of them. My fridge was completely filled with shoes, and my wife dreaded even walking around in our home.

After going barefoot, I was able to sell the other house and now have room for groceries in my fridge, and my kids can now eat.

This is why shoes are bad.
Modern smartphones can hold the battery for over a week with minimal usage. You could just turn data on when every few hours or so. It's not automated though.

No, the dot was inside the quotes on purpose. If you want to go the typographic way, you have the wrong kind of single quotes in your message (' vs. ’) and of course the wrong kind of double quotes. Having the comma outside the quotes is considered ok-ish, especially in the programming world, but it should usually be inside.

Regarding the missing dot for your final sentence it’s alright; the smiley can sometimes be considered a replacement for it.
Of course! I’ve been using separate GH accounts for work and personal stuff in the past myself. It’s been years since then and I completely forgot.

One of the big issues is that the people making the memes, never actually met any of the people we're all talking about. It's easy to dismiss if it's not real for you. If you've been moving between say, Cambridge and Sommerville, you understand. If you haven't, you think you can do anything that top .01% of the top 1% can do.

How do you convince someone that there are people out there so gifted at everything that they make MIT and Stanford alums look like village idiots? You likely can't.

People reading our comments will think, "That's a myth. There are no people like that."
Second that. The state of internet in Germany is what always gets me thinking about how things will work when speed is slow, connections are spotty or you get offline. So many problems with Spotify in particular, as even when it detects that it is offline, it still insists to try fetching assets related to content that was already downloaded.
And in case they choose "no", that carbon tax for farm animals help to think second time.
In Finland, i get 5Mbps LTE uplink for EUR 4 per month, for a trailcam, with unlimited use (at least in principle). So $20 per month sounds expensive, but obviously there are places where one has no earthly LTE and then it could be justified.

In general, having low-bandwidth Starlink IoT connections globally accessible would be just great, I can see lots of usage.
LEO means less RF power and lower latency.
Author here. This was never reported. I haven't noticed it for myself either. Feel free to get in touch through the official email (mentioned on the homepage) or through GitHub issues. I'm in the process of polishing 3.4.x branch, eliminating as many bugs as possible, before focusing on 3.5.0.

It doesn't happen now, after 9/11. 9/11 was a one-time thing, and basically ruined airliner hijacking forever for other would-be hijackers. Before 9/11, people were taught to comply with hijackers because it was just a political stunt and people generally didn't get hurt. After 9/11, passengers will now fight for their lives because they'll assume the hijackers are religious kooks who intend to murder them all by flying them into a building. A few hijackers with razor blades today will be torn limb from limb by the other passengers.
I doubt it is going to work very well so just hold your breath for the moment. Also the space junk issues are becoming formidable, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is all gone in 5 years, if it exists at all. Or else I’d like to believe.
Citation most definitely needed. Perhaps the rationale is that the image is blurrier, or the contrast is worse, but both of those could easily be simulated by a monitor if you valued them.
Yes-ish. That line of reasoning could be used to explain why hereditary nobles and royals are the best form of government. And quite a few other counter-factuals.

OTOH, arguing that anyway might give you a far better shot at getting your hands on a few of those $billions than I'll ever have. GO FOR IT.
Simplicity always wins over complexity. I don't think the problem here is Kubernetes, but more like the way they used it. Any system can be made utterly complex, if you don't take the time to make it simple.
If I can spend 100k on a tractor cause 100t of pollution or 200k on a tractor causing 50t of pollution I will obviously choose the firmer tractor as the rest of the world pays the price of the extra 50t of pollution.

If the externalities of that carbon generation are priced in I end up paying more for the polluting tractor so I choose the less polluting tractor and make more money.

The issue with Microsoft until recently, has been the power of WinDev, which are the ones responsible for anything C++ on Microsoft dungeons.

Hence the failure of Longhorn, or any attempt coming out from Microsoft Research.

Ironically, given your Sun remark, Microsoft is back into the Java game, having their own distribution of OpenJDK, and Java is usually the only ecosystem that has day one parity with anything Azure puts out as .NET SDK.
It took roughly 20 years for the EU to deploy 30 satellites.

How long do you think it's going to take to deploy 300 or so of them when the Ariane 6 had only one launch (with a partial failure) in the last 14 years?

If you want to build a constellation, you need the means to send payloads in space at a relatively low cost. The EU can't do that so it will be an expensive and slow endeavor and by the time those 300 satellites are up there, Space X will have deployed 10s of thousands of them.

You can say, that the EU does not want to compete with Space X or that their goals are not the same but either way, it's just too little too late IMHO.

Is it? If there is anything the 45th and the aftermath has shown is that there are people clearly above the law. And even without the 45th, Musk himself has escaped justice many many times - especially the SEC whose explicit orders he openly defied multiple times.
In the U.K. farmland has a rental value of about £100 an acre but a purchase price over £10k an acre.

The value in the land isn’t in its use (which is getting 1% ROI), but in speculation it may be granted permission to be converted to housing, or because of tax loopholes.
Unfortunately I think that access to all kind of IP cameras is too easy. Normal people mostly don't care to install, don't bother to deal with setting up the recording infrastructure. Creeps, psychos, delusional people go wild with them, including pointing camera at neighbour doors, windows, garages in residential areas. Yes, you can tell them to turn the camera away but they are delusional so discussion rarely makes sense. Some people draw this sick perverted satisfaction in recording their neighbour and sometimes only violence works as an argument.

another point is: since WW2, denmark has one of the highest, if not THE highest, percentages of area under agriculture. During WW2, we temporarily allowed agriculture on very poor farmland. It was meant to cease after the war, but our strong farmer lobbyists kept extending the permission.. So it is not about giving up 'good farm land', it is about stopping abusive agriculture which is only possible with extreme chemistry. Source: am Old dane.

What's sad about it is that it's a lawyer. Now I don't mean to poop on lawyers, but the kind of recruiter we are talking about sells a very specific narrative of success, which is that if you're a top kid in school, your natural path is law/consulting/finance.

I went to a famous institution, and there were loads of kids who bought into this. If you don't know quite what you want to do, it is very easy to fall into the trap of "oh I'll do this well paid thing for a while and see how it goes".

You then get there, and it's a treadmill. Nobody thinks it's a meritocracy either. But everyone looks down on taking a normal, non-elite job.

People are surprised over Trump, because of what it applies about conservative peoples hypocrisy. Conservativism is typically approached with massive amount of naivety and undeserved trust. They lie, they complain about things they don't mind, then they state their plans out loud and pundit class is still "they cant be as bad as they say". Trump and the people he is choosing winning three times clearly show who these people are ... and pundits cant admit it. Moderate republicans cant admit it either to themselves.

The confusement is because if Trump won primaries three times, it clearly means you do not care about respectability no matter how much you pretended being outraged over minor non-issues in the past. It means you do not mind lying, actually. It means you do actually want pure destruction and are in fact motivated by misogyny and all those bad things.

But, we want to believe in good of the massive amount of people. We do not want to believe that conservative Christians will do anything just to get control over women back. Or that they actually want to destroy the democracy.
What solution do you propose for private businesses? Having cameras is sensible, if not a must. People are abusive, burglars break in, staff steal, etc.

These days I prefer to use local VMs to compartmentalize different areas of work (personal, consulting, etc) so my git config is plain and simple. Lately I’ve been doing mostly consulting work around open-source so I’ve been using my primary GH account for the most part, but separate VMs allow me to use a different key (account) without advanced git config incantations.

Well I make a lot of memes, so I'm not sure I agree with your first statement haha. I think you'd be surprised at the educational backgrounds of the people that actually make the memes (vs the ones just spreading them).

I think my basic thesis is that, if you come from a normal background, and go through these institutions, this is a major selection factor for some level of charisma. You understand the game and you understand the normal person. This is why the first 'round' of purely meritocratic admits worked. The graduates were inevitably going to be so irresistibly charming, they'd have no problem dealing with the world.

However, as time went on and they had their own children, who did not experience the normal childhood, they are at a disadvantage. They have the educational background, but not the ability to connect with people.

For example, since it's all fresh in our minds. I remember people saying that Vance was going to appear weird at the debate and Walz normal. As evidence, they used the fact that Vance was rich and thus out of touch. At the time I thought differently, simple because Vance had been to Yale and then through the Silicon Valley VC landscape and -- from what I understand -- came out successful. Thus, in my mind, he was the perfect test to my thesis.

And I think that's what we saw, not only did he come across as amazingly likeable, he even seemed to make Tim Walz like him at times. And the general consensus was that he won [1]. Normal people don't make it through these institutions without the ability to -- at least temporarily, maybe even disingenuously depending on your politics -- come across as irresistibly charming.

> How do you convince someone that there are people out there so gifted at everything that they make MIT and Stanford alums look like village idiots? You likely can't.

That's correct, as demonstrated by the people that accuse them of cheating to get where they are. Or of cheating because they worked less hard than someone else who worked very hard at the wrong thing.

[1] https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/02/vance-walz-who-won-... . Doesn't matter your politics, he clearly was very effective, even if you think he was disingenuous -- like I said, you don't go through Yale and VC without being able to charm.
Fair enough, while I agree, in real project life, this calm, honest, factual feedback isn’t always enough for senior management to prioritise your issue.

Sometimes you need to a bit more assertive and blunt so that you become the top of the agenda, that’s what I meant by “throwing punches”.

Perhaps it means a much more over the top attitude in your view? (Happy to be corrected here)

> People are surprised over Trump, because of what it applies[do you mean implies?] about conservative peoples hypocrisy.

Technocrats talk about hypocrits. Lovers of the humanities talk about people.

People don't operate on principles. They operate on human emotion, which is a very real force. It is no less real than facts, figure, logic, or rationality. Trump's shooting, his McDonald's stunt, his garbage vest/truck, and his ability to exude his brand are actual skills, and signs of a different kind of intelligence. Until people get that, they will be perpetually confused.

A lot of pollsters around the issue of the economy for example threw their hands in the air this election. The numbers looked good, they said, so how come people feel that it's not working? They blamed 'the vibe'. But 'the vibe' is a very real force, that one must contend with when you study human behavior and emotion.

The problem is that -- instead of studying literature, philosophy, religion, art, music, dance, etc, i.e., the real humanities -- the 'humanities' PhDs, the sociologists, the pollsters, etc, all studied statistics for human management essentially. We've lost so much by not focusing on the actual humanities

> Moderate republicans cant admit it either to themselves.

Moderate republicans -- if you mean the lincoln project crowd -- are the worst perpetrators of the problems addressed in the article

Every study on security vulnerabilities has shown that "just don't screw up bro" doesn't scale.

Even if we ignore the absolute clown move of having no bounds checks by default (and std::span doesn't have them at all), it's very easy to get into trouble with anything involving C++ iterators and references.
For many of the most painful deletion questions, the root problem is that when the software was first made the stakeholders/product-org didn't think about use-cases for deleting things. At best, they assume a "do not show" property can be placed onto things, which falls apart when you get to legal issues that compel actual removal.
Swarm wasn't a competitor to SpaceX at the time, Swarm and Starlink wasn't aiming at the same market at all. And they didn't exactly kill Swarm. They launched Swarm satellites for a while and there was talk of integrating Swarm transceivers on Starlink satellites. I think once direct-to-cell became a reality, the idea of Swarm was subsumed into that project since it should do everything Swarm did but better. It's worth noting that the Swarm founders are now working on the direct-to-cell project.

Even the wizards are moving to Rust/Zig since C++ stdlib performance is becoming terrible thanks to the ABI-frozen till heat-death of the universe decision. Even wizards don't want to build a stdlib of their own from scratch.

Feel the committee was smoking weed that day in la-la land. You can ignore all the safety stuff from Sean Baxter, but saying no to performance on the altar of permanent, un-specified ABI backward compatibility - when such was never mentioned as a design goal of C++ - means its "Goodbye C++" for a long, long list of orgs and "wizards". The ABI was NEVER specified formally by the C++ standard - so why bother sacrificing the world for its immortal existence ?

C++ is NO longer the choice of language for greenfield native projects and the committee takes the full blame.
