You typically see COPVs attached from the top and bottom with linkages. And a regular tank can be overwrapped in a composite as well. The top looks like a regular tank dome to me, maybe a common dome.

I don't think it's a helium tank. A high pressure tank (helium or otherwise) in a rocket is normally a COPV [0]. Those are welded, don't have rivets/bolts, and are wrapped in carbon fiber. To me it looks like a regular f

Haven’t had a chance to play because I’m on mobile but I have to say I love the ambiance! The green tint, the music, the sound effects, all very cool. Kudos!

You need to check on those definitions. And Global Entry only requires to show a valid passport and state ID. There’s no thumbprints involved. So in effect, Global Entry requires only information that the government already has, especially

If you are a naturalized US citizen the government has your biometrics already, you can't become a citizen without giving them up. If you are a natural born citizen and have a passport the government has your picture. If not, there&#x2

So disingenuous. SpaceX’s “craters”, whatever that means, are not from mission failures but from working on booster landing and reusability, _after_ successfully delivering their mission payloads.

Dragon 2 is _not_ an iteration on Dragon 1. It’s a completely different vehicle and it was risky for SpaceX to go the route of developing a completely new vehicle. Yet they got it done, cheaper and faster.

She takes care of everything except the Mars program. Falcon is well established at this point and very few engineering iterations remain. It’s a “done” product and the cash cow of the company. Elon runs the Mars program out of Boca Chica

Starting with something as basic as bringing back the path input textbox in file dialogs. I mean... it's a file dialog! What else but inputting file _paths_ is it good for?

One man's basic is another man's low intermediate.... but I agree that none of these seem overlooked to me,. They are pretty basic things once you get past the few chapters of your first python book.

It probably doesn’t, but it _bugs_ me not being able to put the exact rate ;) you know how we are.

Very nice! Small improvement request: when adding a mortgage I can only input 2 decimal places for the interest rate, but it is common for rates to have more places, e.g. 6.615%

You should list your email in your HN profile. That way the Internet could check with you to see if you approve whenever someone starts a new personal project.

You obviously got it wrong. The parent commenter explained that there is no elitism in Germany, because a professor said it in an interview, in German. Don't you know that Germany is the sacred, holy land, unique amongst all other land

We will never have this because neither side wants it: Schools do not want it because they lose total control over who they accept. Harvard wants to accept the children of the current ruling class knowing that they will become the next one,

It's because schools want to retain a measure of control over who they let in. A true merit based admissions system (say min SAT score + lottery after that) is uncheatable and therefore schools have _zero_ control on who they have to a

Realizing that 99.9% of the bugs I will find I can solve by myself. Really, just work the problem a little bit at a time. How many times have you found a bug that you absolutely couldn’t figure out? Scant times most likely. Now, the other s

Very interesting! A question from a layman: what is a “signal” in the context of a neuron? Is it discrete binary ON/OFF, or is it discrete with multiple levels, or is it fully analog? Do we know the “encoding” of the signals? What do t

We are seduced and captivated by raw genius. I’m sure Landau was one of the highest caliber. To pass his examination, to be well regarded by him, to be part of such a select group, who wouldn’t want to? Don’t be hard on yourself.

If you are a paying customer you can get the SRPMs, so nothing has/will change for you. This will definitely be one of their possible next steps, as they seem bent on locking down RHEL. I see people frequently disparage the GPL here in

Indeed. I recently found this piece of code: if (X) assert(false); // we never do X, ever, anywhere. Then I look over to the other pane, where I have a different, but related file open: if (exact same X) { do_useful
