Regarding leaks, yes, there were rumors of battery pack replacements due to corrections on welds and a separate production issue with ground terminal bolts.[1]

These issues could be due to the different composition of the 3 compared to the S and X - more steel, less aluminum - or with them trying to build a denser automated production line, or just general gremlins setting up new production.

We have the iPhone because Apple was so ambitious. Imagine if they had just partnered with existing phone manufacturers rather than trying to build a magic touch slate.

Wait, we do know what would have happened - the Motorola ROKR, which everyone should be forgiven for forgetting.

If they're faced with a low probability landing scenario, such as the fastest re-entry velocity to date, and they need to "test" their control algorithms, which first stage would they choose? A near end-of-life used booster or a late block booster from which they would hope to get another several good launches? - assuming all others characteristics support the current launch parameters.

They're amazingly deliberate in how they mingle bleeding edge R&D and commercial activity. Something that fascinates me. And rockets.

Not worth it - until the delta cost of fuel and maintenance on a FH is less than the cost of dumping a Falcon 9 second stage into the ocean.

Kapor Capital, investors in Uber, apparently also invest in "People Ops" startups. They're actively trying to feed a problem child into their own opportunities. Smart.

I assumed this Ask HN was a ploy for free research toward the $1M Satori contest.

Give me a break. When a successful tech executive says, "It has always been a priority for me to give back to people who are less fortunate," the Gates Foundation or the US Digital Service come to mind. Getting another highly paid job is not at all in the same class.

I recommend watching the Hosted Webcast on one device and the Technical Webcast on another. Either mute the Technical Webcast or have it on lower volume. They're both easily found on YouTube under SpaceX.

I did this for the previous launch, Iridium-1, and was treated to unbroken views live from the first stage on the technical stream, while the hosts narrated and switched views more frequently on their stream.

I believe the comparison was not with text-based debuggers, but with the more mainstream Node.js debugging options that also provide Blink or Chrome DevTools UIs:

1. Node Inspector (https://github.com/node-inspector/node-inspector), the most prevalent Node.js debugging tool, at least until Node v6.3.0. And which also happens to be mentioned by Jam3/devtool in the Comparisons section.

2. Built-in Chrome DevTools debugging support as of node v6.3.0 (https://medium.com/@paul_irish/debugging-node-js-nightlies-w...). Simply by running:

> node --inspect foo.js

Go to HashiCorp's documentation for fantastic examples of comparing software to others in the same space. Here is their "Vs" section for Consul:

Are there useful heuristics on where GSL is most applicable? Where it is relevant and powerful and not too meta; just the right amount of abstraction to represent a problem and its solution.

For example, "GSL is likely a good choice at <abstract problem description>, such as <some very concrete examples>. And it may not be appropriate for <abstract problem description>, such as <other concrete examples>. Because of <some specific reasons>."

I looked through the GSL website and also Scalable C and wasn't able to find any descriptions that place limits on the applications of GSL. A description of what a complex something isn't, from an expert, is almost as important as what that thing is.

Your writing style in Scalable C is incredible and enlightening. I will be studying and referencing that book, even if I'm not directly coding C.

Do others here use Square Cash? I much prefer payments to friends going directly from my bank account to their bank account. For all the alternatives I am familiar with (Venmo, PayPal), payments to me land in some intermediary account.

I feel either this distinction isn't important to many or that Square Cash is just widely unknown.

On graphs, I was really hoping to see provisions in the spec to support the property graph model, specifically for properties on relationships. We are building APIs that access data in a graph DB, and all the data in the graph has had an obvious representation in the JSON API model except for attributes on edges.

As an example, let's say that my graph DB has People nodes and a MARRIED_TO relationship between two people to indicate they are married. A MARRIED_TO edge could have a "married_on" property containing the date of the marriage.

Where would the "married_on" attribute be represented in JSON API? I could stuff it in the "meta" member of the link object, but that feels loose and hacky. Maybe it could live in the "linkage object" along with the "type" and "id" members. But the linkage object appears to currently be a closed set of only those two members.

Is this requirement to present a full property graph model not as common as I would imagine? I'm a bit behind on my sync with the current state of the spec. This is the first time I've tried to elaborate this need.

I appreciate the massive amount of work and the recent updates to tighten the spec.

One challenge with the churn is a lack of any high-level changelog (git commit history doesn't count). I have a team working off an earlier version of the spec, and I check back semi-frequently. But I haven't been able to find a document outlining "here are the major changes since the previous versions." I understand that would represent more work on top of work, but for such a large spec, the changes have been disorienting.

Would you consider graph to be a fourth type of database, after relational, key value, and document/hierarchical?

Based on your other comment, does this mean you use a commercial or custom general mental ability test in the funnel before screening and interviews?

It would be helpful to know more about what you do versus what you don't.

In fact, Comcast has a formal program to fund research grants and open source work. There is a lot more "real" technology in place here at Comcast than one may expect for a telecommunications and entertainment provider.

The ideal project would be something used within Comcast that doesn't otherwise have a corporate sponsor.

It is in their best interests to attract other developers and companies to the Scala community and ecosystem. The more that well-known companies advertise their adoption of [x] technology, the more comfortable others will feel in doing the same.

Coursera said as much that the Scala + Play community is modest in size.

To build habits?

My bank has free bill pay, so my wife and I have an automatic check sent out every month to a local all-volunteer charity that does very worthwhile work. We never see that money and we budget around the income we have left over. Whenever I peek at my bank statements and see those debits, I'm reminded of what we're doing.

Even a small amount, say $50/month, is a great start. This also forces you to find a worthwhile cause now, and to attach yourself to and actively re-evaluate that cause on an ongoing basis. It becomes a part of your life instead of your future.

All that said, thanks for the honest discussion. This stuff is important.

If you buy a license now, it's valid for ST3. No need to wait. It's in the FAQ.

First off, I completely fail to see the partner in khakis and black hat in this photo.

Second, the mirrored imgur photo is much smaller and compressed than the original photo to which the New York Times linked. If a crowd of people are attempting to identify an individual, it's unfortunate if many are looking at a suboptimal image. This should be a lesson NOT to use imgur for such a task. Just throw the original on S3 behind CloudFront.

This sounds an awful lot like Philanthroper, which Mark Wilson eventually had to shut down. However, it's a slightly new angle, and I sincerely hope they succeed. I created a nonprofit Facebook app many years ago in the same space. It's tough, but Google has the resources to see it through.

Your foul language appeared unnecessary. Combine that with a short rant lacking depth. Not trying to criticize - you're free to write whatever you want - but it is what it is.

The bro connection had nothing to do with your photo. I didn't even look at your photo until you asked.

A Pixel Qi display may fit your needs. There's a 10" DIY display available http://www.makershed.com/Pixel_Qi_display_p/mkpq01.htm although you may just want to pressure your favorite consumer electronics company to include one by default.

By the way, the earliest version of the Pixel Qi technology was used by the first OLPC XO laptop model.

Edit: Pixel Qis are not actually E Ink.

The end of Chris' post a week ago hints at Python support. What makes a hissing sound other than a python?
