There was no shortage of foam/ice strikes with the older foam either. STS-27 in 1988 sustained very severe tile damage from a foam strike during liftoff (around 700 tiles were damaged, including some which were completely destroyed), which resulted in partial melting of some of the airframe components during re-entry. They lucked out in that the strike was on the more durable part of the vehicle, if it had hit the leading edge as happened to Columbia the vehicle likely would have met the same fate.
This is awesome, thanks for the github link! I wonder what service is providing the data -- the lack of back-end in the repo and need for Web Workers makes me think it's something external. A brief tour of the source makes me think that the clue would be somewhere in satellites.js, but that is a doozy of a file.
You must be very good at yoga because that's a huge stretch. Property and intellectual property are completely different things to the point that intellectual property is a misnomer.
They're in the business of generating profit.

Management need to show year upon year growth no matter how little sense it makes. One way of doing that over the short term is to slash costs, with costs lower profits are higher, and thus the manager can receive a nice fat bonus and maybe get promoted. Only problem is these short term cost savings result in medium to long term damage, which can ultimately destroy a company's profit making potential (e.g. HP).

You see this all the time. A successful business brings in a CEO or CFO, they slash costs all over the place, the board loves them for 2-4 years and they leverage their success to get a better job at another business. A few years after they left, profits at the old business start to fall, because the slashing had unintended side effects (e.g. like making the business less competitive), but it took time for those negative effects to start to be apparent (particularly to higher tier staff and the board). However now everyone blames the CEO/CFO who took over after the "successful" one because nobody realised the delay between the cause and effect.

A lot of MBA-types have a trail of fire behind them. They've built a career on it. Your first warning should be slashing R&D departments.

I have never... and I mean this... never heard an anti-gun person say that we should go door to door and take guns from people. I'm just saying.

I take your point, I really do, but I think that you are overestimating the desire to have a meaningful debate on the progun side. The two sides are not equally obstructive or vitriolic. They just aren't. Perhaps you have heard people like me... some guy on a forum... say something bombastic, but the progun leadership are purveyors of extreme fear mongering and slander of their fellow citizens that disagree with them. They equate compromise with appeasement and negotiation with collaboration. Gun control people don't go around threatening armed rebellion.

I'm sorry for going on, but I get really tired of the way that no one seems to be able to change their mind. A large chunk of the vehement progun crowd are also fundamentalists who think the world is six thousand years old. I grew up around them. I'm very clear about their position.

Hardly a problem. According to [1], there is 64,285,009 km of roadway in the world. So every meter of road in the world could be addressed with merely a 36 bit integer:

64285009*1000 = 64,285,009,000 < 2^36 = 68,719,476,736

Remember that with every additional bit, the address space doubles. Exponential growth is insane.

> This outcry would've been minor if reddit had a male CEO without the failed lawsuit in the rear view mirror.

If the Reddit CEO were male AND their "failed lawsuit" were also about a dishonest attempt at smearing the name of innocent companies and people - like cowards and people without principles do - then I bet you the outcry would be the same.

Good people hate liars, and there's no coming back from playing the victim and seeking compensation unjustifiably.

I won't quote here but search for the points made by celticninja. It's incredible that we allow women to get away with so much that we even forget to acknowledge that liars and unprincipled narcissists come in all shapes and colors. Don't hate the gender, hate the (lack of) principles.
Let's start working on IPv8.
Just skimming the definitions they seem more than a bit naïve. A relation is really a more general thing than a program, since it need not be computable in any way.

The real mathematical models of programming are not all that difficult to understand. The most famous, the Turing machine, is really just a finite set of states and a function on it. The complications which arise later are real complications, describing things such as side effects and complexity — its not trivial stuff!
You mean this petition:

https://www.change.org/p/ellen-k-pao-step-down-as-ceo-of-red...

Which doesn't list any actual specific grievances, but does mention the completely irrelevant gender discrimination lawsuit she was involved with? The one that supporters are signing with openly misogynistic and racist slogans and nicknames? The one that's full of duplicate signatures and obviously fake names? That's the petition you're talking about?
Your opening potshot at MBAs detracts from the meat of your comment, which contains at least two important insights: (1) the Reddit "product" and community are inseparable; (2) to manage a community you must understand the community, which almost always requires participation in the community.

Agreed. I strongly dislike the philosophy espoused by the parent. "I recognize that other products are technically superior and allow me to do more things without inflicting undue hardship or learning curve, but because the animations aren't as nice, I'm just going to use this other thing." I have no interest in humoring those with such a vain and frankly indefensible perspective.
The debt is held by public institutions, and what money Greece receives from those institutions is going overwhelmingly back to those institutions.

> The lenders should have lost all their money

"The lenders" are mostly the Troika, and always has been. You seem to be working on a mental model where most Greek debt in foreign hands is owned by private banks (or was owned by private banks, or was originally lent by private banks). Not so.

> There was no reason to involve taxpayer money in this mess.

Also untrue. A currency union ABSOLUTELY requires large fiscal transfers from richer to poorer regions, probably in the neighbourhood of 30% of GDP for a region like Europe. This has been known for decades. EU taxpayer money was on the hook from the moment the Euro project started. (If EU voters were never told that, that's a separate issue.)

Sure. But doubt loopholes like these would be openly documented.

Best option seems like if I was still back at school and just asked some international students.
you might not be far off. I imagine there will be an ipv8 not because of address allocation but protocol standardization changes. Just a guess.
> Typically a system works okish if only the people at the top skim

That's not how that works though. People one level under the top will try to get their cut too, then the level under until you get to the bottom. The system is ok-ish if the overall level of corruption is somewhat reasonable. In the case of Greece, the amount of corruption at the bottom level is not the cause, but the symptom of the fucked up state all the way up.

Now, there is a difference between the top and bottom. The whole bottom level is creating a black economy. Not as good as a regular market, but something that self sustain itself. See Greece pre-euro.

The few people a top though are the one that forged the accounts of Greece and pushed the country in its death spiral.

It is simply not true, that this whole debate is about Germany vs. Greece. Greek media and Greek demonstrators created it and the German yellow press and right-wing parties gladly answered. If you have the same narrative than these guys, you are by definition being polemic.

In reality though there are Eastern European with lower standards of living than Greece that had a hard time getting these measures through parliament but ultimately took part in the rounds, too.

Germany is because of its size the biggest actor in most European things, that does not make them German.

I do not think the concept of a Troika of a central bank, the European government and the International Monetary Fund is that hard to understand, either.
I personally do not see a conflict with how I define guilt and how Webster defines it. And while not in perfect agreement with the Cambridge definition, I see them as similar.

I mean how can you be aware you have done something wrong or bad if you do see what could of been a better outcome? If everything you have to compare it to as possible outcomes is worse than what happened then you did nothing wrong or bad, you did the best that was possible.

I was never intending to say guilt does not exist just that it simply as Webster has defined and that choosing solutions which you later realize are sub-optimal are what Webster describes as something bad or wrong. I am not pretending it means anything other than what you have provided here as the definition. How can one recognize bad without good? These things are inherently relative as one can not exist without the other also existing.

>I didn't say there was an absolute definition of right and wrong. I said there are people who conceive of the world this way, and that's true; they are quite numerous.

How does one conceive of something which can not be defined? To me that seems like being able to visualize the concept of infinity. It can be defined in a relative sense, so I stand by my view that the relative sense is the only one that matters.

>By weakening to just the idea that certain actions in a definite fixed context could be correctly labeled "right" or "wrong", you pick up many, many more believers, practically the entire world.

I think you underestimate the cultural differences present in the world and the ability of anyone to actually define a fixed context which 'practically the entire world' will be able to relate to.

Any scenario you did manage to get 'practically the entire world' to agree on would be so vague and hypothetical as to be virtually meaningless. Like 'would you give everyone in the world cancer or ice cream', although the example I have provided itself is flawed I think most examples will have flaws. In my example if people have a violent enough allergy to ice cream they may in fact choose cancer as being "right".

This has been a rather long way about this but do you at least concede that we do indeed have different ideas of what a belief is and that only a small number of people if any would have beliefs which were consistent with both our definitions?
I don't understand. When you run into partitions, you need to make a decision, risk being inconsistent or shut down. Ignoring the problem is just choosing inconsistency by default. You haven't actually gone CA.
There are pro-gun that spout silly things like, "We need to arm every teacher!"

Hmmm; I suppose there are pro-gun individual who say we should arm every teacher, but I'm unaware of any; that certainly seems less mainstream than the very common calls for house to house confiscation, which we can see upon occasion in HN.

It is mainstream in pro-gun groups like the NRA to say it should be an option that teachers and administrators can be armed and that it should be encouraged to a degree, while it's no longer mainstream for anti-gun groups to admit they want to ban all guns in civilian hands (that may have finished going out of style when Dukakis' wish to that effect helped sink his presidential bid 1988 ... against the rather anti-gun G. H. W. Bush...).
Bad Design Thought: The Gas Pump Fallacy
What you probably mean is something like nice abstract accounts of memory models for C that at the same time capture all the optimisations modern C-compilers want to do, while still being implementable on existing CPUs. That is indeed an open problem [1].

True. Although CompCert [1] is a nice effort toward that goal: a proved C compiler that covers almost all C99 with many optimizations implemented and proved sound.

Meyer is trying to move up one level of abstraction; the `programs` he is talking about are synonymous with `specifications` so right away those words are being used in an atypical fashion.

Calling them `progspecs` would be gross and newspeak-y and calling them `program specifications` would be verbose. Regardless, the theory of these `programs` may indeed be useful.

Also, he's not saying that all relations are progspecs, but defining that progspecs are pairs of (relation, set).
I could not disagree more. What you are describing is craft and not art. Not to say that one is in any way better or more valuable, only that once something has a firm set of "particular effects or experiences" it have moved on from art and into the world of craft.
That's a good point. I like the fundamentals and really digging in, and for my friends who don't I ask why learn less about the fundamentals of what you're doing!? Those same friends seriously questioned their life choices during the theory/core classes. They later found their calling when they had a chance to explore things like web dev or mobile dev and they're happy now.

Different strokes for different folks.

This story has had major threads on HN, including on the front page right now [1]. Our interest is not in quellage but in keeping the front page substantive, i.e. keeping HN HN.

Big drama always brings many copycat posts and follow-ups. Most need to be treated as duplicates or drama will fill the front page, which is not what HN is for. Where to draw the line? Our answer is, have a major thread on (hopefully) the most substantive version of a story, plus a new thread when there is significant new information [2]. That's the best way we know of to balance the different factors, though we're open to a better way if anyone suggests it.

It's true that it's common for a user to miss earlier discussions, as you mention, but that's a problem with HN in general. No one sees all the threads. We try to point to previous discussions when we notice them, and many HN users helpfully do so as well (greenyoda and ColinWright practically deserve medals for it).

I saw the Space Shuttle Discovery up close at the amazing Udvar-Hazy Center in/near Washington DC. The scarred shielding tiles, partly because they are on the surface closest to visitors, were something really special - made the whole thing as an experienced object very real.

Not every other craft in the museum was built for war or commerce as there were many experimental aircraft built by hobbyists, but the shuttle was an iconic thing. I'd had shuttle toys in the 80s. Where other exhibits were more "Oh, that's cool", seeing the Discovery had a real impact on me.

If you're ever anywhere near that area, go take a look. Free entrance, $15 for parking, and you will spend hours there. It's a separate facility to the National Air and Space Museum that most people would visit in the centre of Washington DC - which is also very good.

To be clear, what I mean by "empty" is that the harm will be from the effects of receiving the message. The message is not a warning of an upcoming attack--it itself is the attack.

I assume this because I haven't seen any stats showing otherwise, and so I'm assuming that those making these threats are similar to those who make similar threats against athletes and entertainers, which we have more experience with.

The kind of people who will actually carry through with threats to murder or rape are almost always people who have a close connection to the victim, typically former spouses or former romantic partners or former business partners, or are people who are motivated by some kind of fundamentalist religious belief and believe they are doing God's work.

It's possible that this will change. The rise of swatting may be a sign that it is starting to, although swatting has mostly been directed toward non-tech targets so far. Swatting lets you call down offline harm with the emotional disengagement of online.

I think you are underestimating how different most people are online compared to offline. A heck of a lot of people who are civil offline turn very nasty online.
