No they don't. Dragon takes 4, Soyuz takes 3, 9 people on the ISS, none of the other pods are rated for crewed missions.


Dragon can carry an extra two if necessary in an emergency.


There's 9 people on board the ISS right now. The Dragon can take 4. The Suyoz can take 3. The other capsules are not designed for crew.


Example?



X and US law both have rules against incitement of imminent violence. It's one of the only exceptions to the First Amendment. X extends that to making violent threats in general. Those accounts were doing the latter and sometimes the former.

The @vps_reports account named in the first tweet in your story is a good example. The Intercept claims they were suspended for engaging in "journalism", "organizing" and "documenting extremism". X claims they were suspended for making violent threats.

If we follow links a bit further we see what sort of tweets @vps_reports was making:

https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1596074770193604609/pho...

> "One last thing. ChayaRaichik10 should live in fear for the rest of her days. It's only fair. Put the PHOBIA in her transphobia."

(there are several more examples like that)

It's not surprising that such people would fall afoul of an anti-threat rule if enforced fairly. Pre-Musk, people like that could make violent threats on Twitter, or even coordinate mob violence there, as long as they were threatening right wing people. Musk fixed that. The Intercept is being dishonest.


VPNs are not illegal in China. About a third of people in China use VPNs and the govt is fine with VPNs unless you're using it to break the law.


You’re right, technically VPN is not illegal, as long as the operators abide laws. It is using VPN to get across GFW that is illegal: https://m.sohu.com/a/738815891_800907/?pvid=000115_3w_a#:~:t...

So, yeah, it is practically illegal to use VPN in China.


Let me guess, you've never been to China.


> 5 states and 2 symbols is just so few with which to try to encode undecidable behavior.

Would you be brave enough to say the same thing about BB(6) or BB(7)?


Yeah, that would definitely surprise me.


Would you consider the Collatz conjecture as potentially undecidable?

Because that one needs to be solved for BB(6) already: https://wiki.bbchallenge.org/wiki/Antihydra

Considering how we made basically no real progress on it mathematically in a whole generation, solving BB(6) within the next decades would be a miracle, and I would bet a lot against it.

I can't see us EVER getting to BB(10), no matter how advanced humanity grows (and it would be meaninglessly large anyway).

I think 765 is just a huge overestimation based on the fact that it is somewhat straightforward to construct.


First off, it's not Collatz, it's a Collatz-like problem.

But yes, I'd be very surprised if Collatz were actually undecideable, even if it's well beyond the reach of current mathematics.

I agree with your statements about BB(10) and BB(6), but they just aren't very relevant. I agree those involve extremely difficult problems likely well beyond the reach of current mathematics, but I'd still be very surprised to find anything undecideable in there. There's a big difference between being truly undecideable and merely well beyond the reach of current mathematics!

(Also, the current record for undecideability is 745, or 765.)


Isn't there a Dragon docked at the ISS right now?


That Dragon came with it's own crew, not empty.


However, in emergency situations, the Dragon capsule can seat up to, I believe, four extra astronauts, and there are only two on Starliner.


Is there a search engine that actually and consistently looks for what you search for now?

Once in a while I try Google but very frequently it completely ignores some of my keywords and I have to click the 'include XXXX' and try again. WTF GOOGLE WHY DO YOU STILL DO THIS


Kagi works like how Google used to a few years ago if they had just kept improving what’s useful to users. You can pry my Kagi subscription from my cold dead hands.


I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I mumble "I typed it for a reason" and "I even made it the first term" more than once a day.

Terms with low cardinality should never be automatically removed, or at least results without those terms should be sorted to the bottom of the result set.

And "verbatim search" is no answer as long as there is no way to enable that mode for all future searches.


When Google decided that all user supplied search terms were optional, result quality fell off a cliff.


Previous urban delivery drone services had trouble with noise complaints, could be related to that?


One way to solve the noise problem is a drone flying high and dropping the parcel on a long rope.


Thanks. The boat prop offers some efficiency gains in mid-range speeds and better hole shot acceleration, but I guess the benefits don't carry to smaller scales and less viscous surroundings.


With 4 counter-rotating props, that would not surprise me


Recently discovered Sharrow boat props. Apparently the guy who invented them first developed the the concept for reducing noise from drones filming orchestras. I'm surprised we aren't seeing more widespread availability yet of "tipless" drone propellers.

Previous HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33949895

Similar design MIT patented: https://news.mit.edu/2022/lincoln-laboratory-inventions-win-...


There may have been new attempts, but when I last looked into these types of drone propellers, nobody seems to have been successfully able to demonstrate they actually offer significant improvements (either noise or efficiency) over traditional designs.

To be fair, the limiting factor might be manufacturing capabilities, given most attempts were using 3d printed propellers which results in terrible surface finish, compared to injection molding.


RIP Google Cloud

calling it now


Let's hope not, most of their business will move to Azure, and is that ever a dumpster fire.


I think Azure is great if you are willing to do it Microsoft's way and are focused on B2B markets where factors like compliance matter in a way that can actually disrupt your sales cycle.

Put differently, if you can get over the principled nerd stuff like "everything must be open" and break out that wallet, you can stand to make a lot of money without as much headache as the guy who decided to roll his own IdP.

Getting "cost sensitive" on Azure is how you lose track of the rabbit. The whole point in my view is to trade money for reduced complexity and time. It lets you focus on solving really hard business that others simply can't seem to find the time to.


Describing Azure as a dumpster fire doesn't strike you as hyperbolic? Could you elaborate?


Almost everything from Azure is half broken, e.g. Bicep which they keep pushing.
