The benefits may be small or large depending on how you look at them. Suppose you need 95% of your launch mass to be propellant for a pure-rocket SSTO design, and suppose you only need 85% of your launch mass to be propellant for a hybrid SSTO like Skylon. This seems like a small savings, but if you look at the "dry-weight" instead -- the mass that you put all the way into orbit -- the air-breathing design puts three times as much mass into orbit. This simplifies the design greatly, allowing you to add things like wings, a more robust fuselage, thermal protection tiles, and covers the extra mass-cost of the heavier engines that you need.

So you may end up with two designs with about the same launch mass and the same payload to orbit, but one of them is re-usable and one isn't.

I'm personally more than a little skeptical that the economics will ever work out, but it's an interesting idea, and it's not completely crazy.

>Are there really not enough stories of opressed women that you have to find Ellen Pao, a CEO (which already almost nobody can relate to) in the middle of extremely controversial fraudulent lawsuits, that is accused of being out of touch with its own userbase? And people try to make readers relate to her?

Welcome to Feminism: The Product. Reminds me of the business with Taylor Swift, defender of hardworking artists (oops, turns out she fleeces her independent contractors). Every powerful woman is a martyr for the cause of the common woman, despite every economic sign to the contrary. Meanwhile restrictive abortion laws are making a comeback, coverage of and investigations into campus rape have been roundly botched, the aggressive mainstream "feminist" narrative (at this point I'd argue feminism online is a news marketing gimmick, not a reflection of any real political ideology) stokes tensions that choke productive discussion. Women's rights are as critical as they've ever been but I get the sense all the talk I hear from self-proclaimed supporters is nothing but hot air with ads in the sidebar.

Such is the state of politics in this digital era.
These algorithms are trivial to implement for big companies. Google (in YouTube) and Microsoft (in Cortana) have similar things, it's likely Apple uses a custom-made version as well.

To answer the previous question, I'd assume part of their revenue comes from big music labels: knowing what songs are about to go big (before anybody else realizes it), from where their popularity originates, and lot more, is invaluable for them.
Yeah. I loved The Dissolve every time I remembered to visit it. Sadly, that really wasn't very often. Even as a fan of cinema, and of the sort of cinema that The Dissolve often used to write about, there wasn't much to remind me of the site's existence.

Thanks for posting. Googling elsewhere it seems only about 5% of tinnitus is objective as in being audible in a stethoscope or similar. Though it's remarkable how sensitive the ear is. Apparently at the threshold of human hearing the vibrations at the basilar membrane are of the order of 1/1000 of the width of an atom so I guess there could be stuff going on that you can't pick up with a microphone/stethoscope, perhaps.

Wasn't OpenStack a thing like that too? Big company backing doesn't really mean as much as people think.
If they were, we'd be in the final years of the Ron Paul administration.
I think it's more of a game-theoretic "principal-agent-problem avoiding" solution. If system X.Y.Z is having a problem, the way to allow the most degrees of freedom in the way it gets fixed (and therefore, usually, the way to get it fixed most efficiently) is to put pressure on component X. X will put pressure on X.Y, who will in turn put pressure on X.Y.Z. But if the system can also be fixed by, say, getting X to find a new X.Y, that's good too!

An example of this: auto insurance. When you get in an accident and want money, you don't sue the other guy; you sue your own insurance company, who sues the other guy's insurance company, who in turn sues them. If, somewhere during that propagation, an alternative is found (e.g. the two insurance companies agree that it was a no-fault collision under arbitration and settle for some amount), then you end up achieving the same effect while putting less stress on the system as a whole.

The article also ignores the fact that Pao didn't fire Taylor, and that the issue of how AMAs were going to be moderated was in Ohanian's portfolio, not hers.

That fact is more material to the article than the specifics of the moderator complaints about Taylor --- for instance, it speaks to the difficult situation Pao was in managing a team that included Reddit's charismatic founder and the chairman of the company, in an operational role. But it also isn't in the article.

I've been paying attention to this project for a while since the space for Lua frameworks is rather quite small. While I am interested in evaluating it once it matures, the biggest stumbling block for it so far is that the documentation and tutorials needs more polish and love.

I understand that it may be difficult finding someone willing to edit and clean up documentation, much less fill it in where things are currently empty, but it's not too soon to try and prioritize this. It may be worth trying to collect donations to start a bounty in the hopes of attracting someone who wishes to do the work and I personally would be happy to pitch in what I could toward it.
This seems to be the sort of "what have you done lately?" prediction that is commonly made at Apple product launches:

> The watch has failed to become the status quo object in wearables. For Apple, that's a flop.

It seems to be more a case of "after we moved the goalposts, Apple didn't meet them" than really of flopping. I think that people forget with what scepticism most Apple product launches are met, and how, so far, even the most initially disparaged ones of recent times have proven to be eventual successes.

(I know this sounds fanboi-ish, and I do own both a Mac and an iPad, but I am no Apple loyalist, just observing what looks like a trend to me.)

After you take out the difference in house prices and gas prices, the rest is minimal.

I'd say an apartment here would cost $2000/mo more than Nashville. Gas is say 50% more expensive; let's say that's another $4K/year. That adds up to an additional $28K/year after tax; or, roughly $40K/year before tax.

I agree that the Reddit "hivemind" does not hate a woman just for being a woman, and they can definitely hate a white man. I still think they are more likely to hate a woman. The hate against Ellen Pao started with her lawsuit which is related to her gender.

To take a hypotetical, let's say Reddit's CEO was a gay man who had sued a previous employer for something related to discrimination based on sexual orientation. I think Redditors would have been less negative about that, as Reddit is very pro gay rights. Then, when Victoria was fired I think the anger would have been less directed at the CEO personally and more towards the admin team as a whole, or at Reddit's owners.

We could also compare the recent banning of /r/fatpeoplehate with /r/jailbait earlier. People were upset about that too, but I cannot remember outright hate directed at the CEO personally.

I do agree with you about the racist posts. That seems like it's just a tool used to attack her.
How should you deal with auth and sharing Users info across microservices?
Stopped using mine after 10 days, and a friend of mine did the same after the same time. We both did for the same reason : we don't like to wear watches in general. We've got our cellphone to know the time if we want to.

Which means we lost the reflex of putting our watch in the morning. And since the apple watch doesn't have any major everyday use, we simply stopped using it.

Worse, whenever i feel like using it, such as going for a run ( sports being the only time when i feel like it's kind of useful), it's often out of battery, because I hadn't use it for a few days and left it on the table.

Ps : comparing to the ipad, the feeling is completely different. I was very skeptical at first, just like with the apple watch, but i left the ipad on the couch and used it all the time. All i would tell me skeptical friends is " you've got to use one to understand". With the apple watch, it's completely different. It really feels like a flop.

Or other criminals, or a straw purchase, or buying them on the street, or buying via the "gun show" loophole. Truth be told, I have friends who went down "the wrong path" in life.

To think that my owning a firearm is going to get me robbed is a flat out idiotic statement. I'm never seeking a confrontation, but my having a firearm is going to put me at a marked advantage over someone who doesn't.

Are there any successful tests in which synesthetes mix colors accurately and quickly when numbers are placed near to each other? That would be impressive.
(assuming you're serious?)

1) Victoria, the admin who interfaces celebrities and /r/IAmA, was abruptly dismissed. No cause given, which grew a lot of conspiracy theories, but that's obviously standard practice when you fire an employee.

2) /r/IAmA mods find out when a PR rep reaches out to them after showing up at reddit offices and finding out their appointment with Victoria was canceled. Mods don't know how to get in contact with other people who are supposed to appear that day. They take the subreddit private, with a short message about having to figure the situation out.

3) Reddit uproar starts. /r/OutOfTheLoop post asks why /r/IAmA is closed, an /r/IAmA mod explains, people get upset about Victoria leaving. Separately (in my opinion) — or centrally (in tptacek's)— the hate subreddits from prior incidents like /r/FatPeopleHate deletion and GamerGate kick into high gear.

4) Other subreddits start going private in solidarity. This spreads until over 100 have shut down, pledging a 24 hour blackout. I think the petition starts around this time. /r/all is basically just this drama.

5) General shenanigans. Flaming, offensive content, etc. /u/kn0thing (Alexis Ohanian) posts a flippant comment in the heat of the moment, starts getting flamed too. Mostly though, he says "Not going to talk about Victoria. Chill, we're gonna get this /r/IAmA stuff figured out," on behalf of the admins (reddit staff).

6) /r/IAmA comes back up, says they're independent from the admins and are going to run things themselves. Ellen Pao talks to news media, posts eventually but gets downvoted to 0 - all her comments were thousands negative and had lots of angry/offensive replies. (Later we learn many positive things were said to her too.)

7) A week passes, mostly dying down. Petition gets more signatures, ultimately reaching >100k I think. Eventually they post an apology, to mixed reactions.

8) Sam Altman posts that Pao resigned, but includes a reproach of the behavior exhibited in the prior week. Seems to get positive reactions from both sides – people welcomed a return to civility and also Ellen's departure. People suddenly start realizing that the horrible things she's been doing to reddit might be because of reason and/or outside pressure, not because she hates freedom and happiness.

9) People start using this incident to complain about internet behavior more generally.
It's not the hard to filter put the foul-mouthed content
I have wanted to know how Shazam works for a long time. Thanks for this article man!
To put the history in context, it’s nice to have some basic understanding of the physics/engineering involved in holding things together.

As no kind of expert myself, I really enjoyed JE Gordon’s book The New Science of Strong Materials. It’s a nice easy-to-read introduction, I’d guess about 250 pages long, and talks about not only iron and steel, but also wood, glass, etc. I also liked his later book Structures, which is somewhat overlapping in subject but a bit longer, focused more on the engineering and less on materials per se or historical development.

The two books are from 1968 and 1978, respectively, but age pretty well. Used copies can likely be found for a few dollars.

I'd be very interested to learn more about your project and findings. Is that bot still alive?
When I started reporting for my college newspaper this jumped out at me immediately and it was maddening. So I recorded every interview I did, and then had to transcribe the quotes. It took forever, so I guess I can see how it isn't feasible in the professional world, but it never seemed right.
It's not just that they didn't mention why they fired her, it's that they didn't seem to have any plan in place to handle the work that she did, or indeed enough clue about her job to understand that they even needed one. If I remember correctly, one celebrity literally flew out to New York to do an AMA with her assistance and found when he got there that she'd been fired and it wasn't going ahead, and the admins didn't handle the other future AMAs that were relying on her any better.
I wonder if people would have been this kind and thoughtful if the trees were on Twitter, or Reddit (topical!). How would we interact with trees here on HN?
I'm going to ignore your implication that other problems I mentioned are unimportant.

Supposition:

"If she eventually succeeds in convincing a three-judge panel that the trial was unfair"

Aren't news supposed to be about what happened, not about what might happen if something else happens? I could understand if the story was about the trial, but it isn't.

Which brings me to the manufactured context part. The story is about resignation from Reddit. I understand that sometimes you need to provide more information about the subject so your reader fully understands what's going on. However, information about the lawsuit against an entirely different company under different circumstances does nothing of this sort. The only seeming reason it's included (and takes almost half the space) is because it supports meta-narrative NYT chose to pursue.

So instead of going to the authorities directly, describing the situation and offering to work together you propose sticking your head in the sand, trying to deal with the problem on your own and hoping the authorities won't ever come across child pornography on your site?

Especially at a scale where you need automated systems to deal with the problem, law enforcement will inevitably notice sooner or later. I can't help but fell that it's not going to go over well with them (and it shouldn't), if they notice you deleted that content and possibly destroyed evidence in the process.

Technology companies and law enforcement have cooperated on this issue for a long time very successfully. They have experienced people working on nothing but this kind of thing and you're not going to deal with some local low level idiot that barely manages to deal with noise complaints. There is no reason to be paranoid and to believe they are going to act stupid.
> there are no huge battles like in a war between two nations

Nor need there be! That's not how guerrilla or "asymmetrical" warfare works; the chief advantage for the guerrillas is that they disappear into the populace between attacks, so there's no one for the more ordinary sort of army to have a battle with.

The way you win a war like this, as the occupier, is to counter this advantage in a way that makes guerrilla warfare proportionately costly for the guerrillas, which ordinarily it is not. For example, you might respond to guerrilla attacks by taking hostages from among the populace, and if the attackers fail to surrender, proceeding to execute the hostages taken. While hardly nice, this method is very effective, and can eventually produce the total and complete pacification of the territory under occupation. (Of course, so can mass relocation or genocide, but those are absurdly expensive and time-consuming by comparison, not to mention far more costly in terms of political will, and are thus best reserved for cases where hostage-taking doesn't work, such as the North American aborigines in the early 19th century, or the Armenians in the early 20th.)

You can achieve victory in an ordinary war by blowing things up, more or less. In a guerrilla war, more subtle means are required. And nastier means, no doubt! -- I don't think anyone has ever tried to claim that military occupation and the forcible curtailment of guerrilla warfare were nice, and I'm certainly not making any such claim right now. I'm just pointing out that, on the one hand, this is what you have to do to win, and on the other hand, it is possible to win a military occupation, if the political will exists for it to be competently carried out.

In recent American history, of course, such will never does exist, because for all the generic American ignorance of history, foreign affairs, and military matters, we do at least have the basic good sense to recognize that engaging in military occupation, of a country which never did us harm and isn't about to start, is both wrong and expensively pointless. That's why it takes stupid, venal, dishonest leaders to fool us into supporting such adventures.

(Of course, it helped a lot that after Vietnam such leaders stopped conscripting the children of the mostly progressive elite, which did a great deal to mute progressive opposition when the Bush II claque came along; instead of finding some way to suppress people whose political opinions actually mattered, the Iraq adventurists could count on a volunteer military in which the elite had no significant personal stake, thus no significant reason to try to prevent being squandered. But that's a different discussion altogether.)
