Re:Three spacecraft heading to Mars this summer

I am curious to know this - how do various nations/ space programs ensure that the objectives of their missions are significantly different that they don't end up repeating the work/ results of other missions (from other nations)? Do all space agencies work together to determine what the focus would be (I guess not, but it'd be cool, if it were like that)!

Re:Ask HN: What collaborative whiteboard are you using?
on Friday May 22, 2020 @12:59PM (#23274268)
One of the main criteria for a whiteboard is to use it with a stylus - so I purchased https://air.bar/ to turn my non-touch-screen laptop into a touch-screen-one. However, its latency is not low enough to provide a smooth experience. Does anyone know of a good digital pen that plays well with Win 10. I suspect our company policies won't allow me to share screen via an iPad.

Thanks much for your kind reply. The first link has a lot of guiding philosophy despite it being attached to Apple, I will try incorporating this.
I am a FW developer and when I developed this GUI and put it in few users' hands, I realized how counterintuitive something can be in terms of usability.
Ask HN: How do you design UI applications?
I recently built a basic GUI application to help with the chore of selecting photos for wedding album prints from a digital collection. The app merely saves the names of photos that the user selects (/likes). I used tKinter in PY. A few of my friends were also interested, but I found that my app wasn't robust enough. I am curious to know what language/GUI programming paradigm is easy to learn...

Thanks much for your kind response.
I am planning to test drive this week and probably request for a couple of weeks of usage. I want to get a hang of how I would work my schedule around the charging needs of the car. Will try the reddit too.
Thanks again :)
Ask HN: Would you recommend buying a Tesla now?
Hello, I live in San Diego and most of my commute is to work with occasional <500mi road-trips once every couple of months. I see electric charge stations in our office (I don't have one at my apartment). I have been eyeing the Model 3 for a while now and would love to hear the pros and cons of purchasing it. I currently own a 10 year old Toyota that has served me reasonably well (although...

Ask HN: How financially literate are you?
Hello, I am in my late twenties and I often feel guilty about not doing enough financial planning - like regular investments, or long-term planning? - How are you managing it? - What was your starting point - any resources that helped you with stock related investment, how risk averse are you and generally what is your philosophy towards money?

My rocket-science knowledge is abysmal, but I thoroughly enjoyed this article and the Netflix documentary that I have linked to was incredible. Anyone even remotely interested in rockets should check it out :).
