I agree with you. Walmart already revolutionized pharma once by offering a huge list of drugs for $4/30-day and $10/-90 day. Even if no one reading this buys those drugs from Wal-Mart, you get them cheaply because Wal-Mart forced everyone else to drop prices to compete. I wonder if it could be calculated how many lives have been saved by doing this. Anecdotally I know a lot of people whose lives have been improved by being able to take those cheap options. And I know a couple of doctors who say they point their patients in that direction to help them save money.

>But I’d never buy non-consumables from them.

I'm curious, would you get a Wal-Mart xray or MRI? Depending on the issue, I think I might.

You have the wrong question.

Whom would it waste resources to deport?

Then can they use this to easily create legal pretext to do so?
I think there are a lot of factors at play. For one, there is an increasing demographic trend of people moving into cities, for people who grew up in suburbs and are used to storing many things for the long term could be large consumers of this sort of service.

I was very careful not to draw any conclusion besides "closer" because this is not my wheelhouse.

Some of the low cost wireless broadband projects have proposed the use of a ground station fairly nearby as the upstream network provider but I haven't the fuzziest what SpaceX has planned.

In your opinion what fraction of the overall delays in the network are attributable to the diameter of the orbit (great circle distance and ground-to-satellite distance) instead of the limitations of the hardware?
I agree. Even with force feedback I don't think these interfaces will ever be as good as physical knobs, buttons, and sliders. "Good" in the sense that they can be reached, perceived, and manipulated with our senses completely without eyesight. For instance I recently drove a Volvo V90 (every control on a large flat screen) and the climate control for seat heating was tiny and slow to update -- I had to take my eyes off the road to find it, aim at the specific setting I wanted, and wait to see whether the setting had changed as intended; by contrast in my current Volvo V60 there are physical buttons that I press (without aiming because I know exactly where each one is) and they instantly change the settings as desired.
Bitcoin has been artifically overvalued by "investors" (with little to no technological understanding) ever since the rally last fall. It's returning to its real valuation. I don't see that as a failure in the long run. I still expect it to grow - with its ups and downs - in the long run.

My point is that if you claim to read HEIF files you need to read all possible HEIF files, including ones that contain H.264/5 data. Don't claim to support a standard if you don't support the most commonly-used part of it.

They were only referring to ability to sue over misuse (say I make a KodiBox and sell it). Google omitting from auto-complete isn't relevant.

What are your thoughts about showing pricing on the landing page?
The smaller the pixels get, the closer to log response dynamic range per unit area you're going to get.

That's simple because of statistics of photons registering at random locations. Happens even if readout noise or whatnot increases.

For those who doubt: imagine a sensor with so high resolution that each pixel is only being hit by just one photon or none at all. Such a sensor would have the ultimate dynamic range. No burned highlights at all. (Of course you might want to downsample the result before use. :))

Although you seem to be after quantum efficiency and low noise. You certainly wouldn't be getting either of those with the ultimate dynamic range extreme pixel count sensor.
It's still going to be more expensive than wired Internet. In the developing world where PTTs impose crazy prices they will impose those costs on top of whatever SpaceX charges.

As I recall, SpaceX will route user<->sat1<->sat2<->server. At low orbit, rtt for sat1<->sat2 is comparable to that for user<->server. Maybe even less, because ~vacuum vs fiber or copper. So you just add 50 msec to the landline rtt.
Exactly!
There's a great book called Wisdom of the Native Americans [1] that curates a lot of the oral tradition that was only ever recorded during the first trials with the US government. Reading that book really gives a sense of the responsibility felt by the individuals to nature. It's easy to extrapolate from that book and these new studies that are coming out with the population sizes involved how a comparatively simple societal structure could give rise to such large ecosystem refinements that made such large populations possible and subsequently have given us so many of the foods and medicines we enjoy today. It truly is staggering.

Lol and so? If school shooters had used ak47's, which fire a larger caliber bullet, are extremely available, have higher capacity magazines and will never breakdown. No one would give the slightest fuck, because everyone already knows bad guys use ak's. American's just have their panties.in a knot because the good guy guns are being used by bad guys. Hell you can go buy a semi automatic shotgun with a big enough clip that would leave a classroom splattered with nothing but pieces of children....but yeah....ar15's...Lol.
Sony had an ad for a eye-of-sauron type application for a gigapixel imager array that could track someone across an entire city from one location. Surveillance will be the major consumer of >100MP sensors.
There are many. There’s even an “official” one, SwiftNIO, that was released recently.
delays in geostationary orbit based systems are limited by basically two things... one is the distance, assuming dedicated 1:1 capacity. From a consumer internet user perspective the other delays are oversubscription and TDMA timeslice related. Consumer grade VSAT-based internet services (hughnesnet, viasat, etc) that you can buy for a cabin in a far rural part of Idaho are oversubscribed at a 16:1, 32:1 or greater ratio. So the RTT latency will be anywhere from 495ms in the middle of the night up to 1250ms during peak evening hours. This is a network architecture limitation/capacity limitation at layers 2 and 3, not so much about the physical distance that the RF has to travel.

The SpaceX system will likely operate somewhat similarly to o3b, which has a number of backbone link earth stations around the earth, adjacent to major fiber IX points. They don't want to endlessly pass data satellite-to-satellite-to-satellite because that will reduce the overall throughput and capacity of the system. Within a single moving spot beam I bet they are designing the system to pass data satellite-to-satellite if necessary. Or as few hops as possible. Once again using a rural Idaho example, at any given time a satellite or an adjacent pair of satellites in two orbital planes might "see" both a rural cabin CPE, and also a larger earth station/trunk link located next to terrestrial fiber in Boise. The goal is to get the traffic from the CPE to Boise in a few hops as possible. Ideally in a single "bent pipe" relay architecture.

Responding to "exists for a fairly rare use case" statement, I just searched the the web app I am currently writing and it uses componentWillReceiveProps() ~20 times. Most cases are for detecting changes requiring freeing/fetching network based resources where the data involved can get excessive if care is not taken. This would seem to be a common scenario for many domains. On a sidenote, I have thoroughly enjoyed working with react and RN over the last 4 years and have learned much from dan's work. Thanks guys.

Background section from one of the attachments to that announcement:

On November 15, 2016, SpaceX filed an application requesting authority for its
proposed NGSO FSS satellite system, comprising 4,425 satellites in 83 orbital planes, at an approximate
altitude of 1,110 to 1,325 kilometers. In this application, SpaceX proposes to operate in the 10.7-12.7
GHz, 13.85-14.5 GHz, 17.8-18.6 GHz, 18.8-19.3 GHz, 27.5-29.1 GHz, and 29.5-30 GHz bands. SpaceX
also requests waivers of certain Commission rules.
This service won't do that. This is not for satellite phones, that would be Iridium (or more accurately, Iridium NEXT which will come online soon), this is for fixed installation or perhaps vehicle based broadband. It'll require a fairly substantial, sophisticated, and expensive antenna (think pizza box sized) to use, and a lot of power as well. This won't connect directly to handsets. It'll be helpful for providing broadband internet access to remote or less developed locations, it'll be helpful to set a cost/performance baseline across the globe for broadband service, and it'll also likely be useful in providing broadband service for various vehicles such as planes, boats, and automobiles, if they are large enough to have the spare power and area to run the antenna.
Roam has put together a great team that has developed some very cool technology. I hope they are able to bring it to market effectively. Best of luck to them!
No chance it's going to be more expensive than comparable wired - fiber or cable - Internet.

You're leaving out the vast cost to build & maintain the wired infrastructure. Tax payers & consumers in those developing nations have to pay for that. That cost has to be included with the monthly fees to do a serious comparison.
I believe Apple has stated they don't ever throttle the CPU on their current generation iPhones, i.e., they wait until they've been out for a full year and replaced by the next generation.
Ask HN: Domain name strategy when expanding a regional app?
In law school, I created oregonlaws.org which makes the Oregon Revised Statutes (the "laws") much easier to read and link to. It's very popular, and it serves its audience well even though it's a ".org" because 99% of visitors enter via web search to a leaf node page. They don't type the domain name. People in Oregon call the site, "Oregon Laws". So I think it's important that each state site have some identity, and not be generic.

Now I'm making instances for the rest of the U.S. states, and some foreign countries. And I'm unsure about how to use domains for this "version 2". SEO is very important to this project. And so I may be overthinking the domain name strategy, but I want to avoid pitfalls. I've come up with these ideas:

* Since oregonlaws.org is a success, I can follow that example and register a unique name for every jurisdiction, whatever's available. E.g., `virginialaw.online`, `washingtonlaws.org`, etc.

* Come up with a new app name and use sub-paths for each jurisdiction. I prototyped that route with `weblaws.org`. I.e., `weblaws.org/newyork/law...`

* Use a new app name and sub-domains for each geographical area. This is what I'm currently going with. I registered `public.law`. The ".law" domain is restricted to attorney/law-firm use. I see this as a good thing. And so I'm prototyping e.g., `newyork.public.law`.

Generally, a person at one of these geographical/jurisdiction sites will never want to see info from another. Although, in the future, I will add cross-area search.

The tension for me is e.g. Paul Graham's advice to always use a .com: http://www.paulgraham.com/name.html

Also, the decision to use subdomains might negatively impact SEO.

Thanks for any feedback!

As you know, Saudi Arabia and Iran currently have a cold war going on, accompanied by proxy wars through out the Middle East. Qatar is a small peninsula sticking out of Saudi Arabia. It is smaller than the Falkland Islands.

In 2017, Qatar and Saudi Arabia had a major falling out.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017%E2%80%9318_Qatar_diplomat...

SA demanded that Qatar shutdown Al-Jazeera and all other news orgs, break off relations with Iran, pay unspecified piles of money that SA got to determine, and "align itself with the other Gulf and Arab countries militarily, politically, socially and economically, as well as on economic matters...".

SA and neighboring countries then closed the land border, and stopped allowing ships to unload cargo and transfer to smaller ships for delivery to Qatar. This affected almost all cargo headed into the country, since Qatar's port can't support large ships.

The neighboring countries also announced that anyone who shows sympathy to Qatar "whether it be through the means of social media, or any type of written, visual or verbal form", would be subject to $130,000 fine and three to fifteen years in jail.

And that's where things have been for the last nine months.

Australian cricket scandal: What we know
Ahh, okay. Fairly niche, I assume? I'm pretty religious about following HN and other tech news feeds, but have never heard of "Swift NIO". While, on the other hand, I've heard tons about node.js and Golang developments, even though I'm equally inexperienced with those.

Feels like Swift afficiciandos aren't quite as good at PR as their base competition.

I'm basically still back in the jQuery, Python/Django, Ruby/Rails, Tomcat/Java/Spring, PHP/Laravel, space. I understand the comparisons and tradeoffs with those. So, perhaps, I'm fairly agnostic about what's "hot" and "popular".
What you want is an Iridium 9575 handheld phone, or the model that they release when the Iridium NEXT constellation comes fully online and they start turning off the old satellites. This is not going to be for handheld satellite phones or things that weigh less than maybe 7-10 kilograms.

This may be more my emotional/irrational reaction than anything, and if so please correct me. Seeing how WalMart treats it’s own poeple, and the lack of concern they’ve ever shown to the impacts of their stores on communities, I kind of doubt their commitment to my health in this scenario. I wouldn’t trust them to deliver what’s best for me, just what’s profitable for them.

Oneweb and Telesat intend to build LEO polar orbit satellite networks that are, architecturally, very similar. Their objections are mostly about interference and spectrum use. If all three projects come to fruition and actually build thousands of satellites and launch them, we could be looking at not just spacex's 4,000+ satellite in polar LEO, but several thousand more from oneweb and telesat as well.
There are a lot of people who call this "due diligence." Receiving permission to visit a country is a privilege, not a right. This trend of wanting better data before making decisions is the natural result of there being better data available on which to make it. Banks, loan officers, job offerers, and now nation states are each equally right in taking advantage of whatever you've chosen to put out there in public. I personally have no problem with this, and to the contrary would call to account institutions that make decisions without considering the data.

Scraping the /popular page on del.icio.us:
https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit1.0/blob/master/scra...

del.icio.us/popular used to be very similar to Hacker News as a source of fresh web-scene-relevant article flow.

Between /popular, and per-tag RSS feeds, in some ways del.icio.us used to be a better Reddit than current Reddit. Tags and tag feeds were a very flexible way to monitor interest topics. What is now a network of reposts between subreddits, used to just be the addition of tags.

Saving a bookmark to your own set of bookmarks also served as an "upvote". This created a nice incentive alignment; if something was interesting, you would want to keep track of it, and add it to your collection, with the tags relevant to you!

Because del.icio.us was not explicitly designed as a "hype machine" like reddit, it turned over a lot of really original content that would have been hard to discover otherwise. It helped that the peak of del.icio.us was during the rise of blogs and self-published websites.

That only applies to notification to the data protection authority unless the breach "is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons".
I apologize -- I should have written "API internals". I did not mean to state that the component API changed a lot, just seemingly that the internals did, with fiber and the like.

I understand the team is hard at work making React better, and there is absolutely no doubt that you are succeeding and react is getting better. However, the amount of large internal changes indicates that as you improve and (most likely) shed unneeded complexity, that there must have been complexity to shed. Obviously no one is perfect, and hindsight is 20/20, but for such a "small" (yes, interacting with the dom is actually super duper hard, and edgecases abound) scope, I've seen more large-ish overhauls than I am comfortable with.

Many internal changes makes me feel like react is more Mongo than RethinkDB (the latter being a document store that actually got most things right and was well engineered but no one ever heard of while mongo started with a badly engineered product, good marketing, and pivoted to relative reliability and good engineering).

I want to also note that I'm not in the target audience for a post like this. There are tons of people who lovingly and productively use React -- I'm not one of them. I am just dumbfounded when people bill react as simple but have never heard of something like Mithril that actually is simple (almost "stupidly" so), and another post at the top of HN means there's that many more people I have to convince to pick something at least slightly simpler when they start doing web development for the first time.

Yes, but same general idea. It's 100GB, not 100Gb. Compared to terrestrial based networks it's not much - very easy to do far more than 100GB/mo with a land based WISP that offers last mile connections of 15 Mbps down x 6 Mbps up.

The oversubscription for consumer grade VSAT services is an economic necessity, based on the fact that with current technology and launch costs, it's a $150 to $200 million project to build and launch a new 5000-6000 kilogram high powered satellite into geostationary orbit. It will have an estimated 15 year usable lifespan.

viasat-2 weighs 6400 kg: http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/viasat-2.htm
> The capacity constrains on traditional geostationary consumer grade VSAT services result in terrible things (TDMA oversubscription that pushes latency to 1150ms during peak hours), and things like 20GB/month transfer quotas. That's for a typical $100/month, 24 or 36-month term with the latest generation of Viasat's services.

I live in a rural town. This is most definitely the status quo, and your description might actually be rosier than what happens in reality. It's quite a stark difference compared to the +100Mbps fiber connection that you can get about 60 minutes away in the city.
