This is the best analysis of the situation that I've read. IMO, it convincingly demolishes the nonsense about psychographic microtargeting in political campaigns.
This is intentional because those are relatively rare use cases. We want them to stand out and be quite specific about what they're doing.

You still have `componentDidMount`, `componentDidUpdate`, and `componentWillUnmount` that should be used more commonly and do exactly what you expect them to.
LOE will always provide faster latency than Geosynchronous orbit.

I suspect that total bandwidth will go to the person with the most satellites, and LEO has much cheaper launches than GeoSync.

Geosynchronous orbit is more than 15 times farther away. That is why the communication will be quicker, and why the launches are cheaper.

I used to think along the same lines, but then over and over again companies demonstrate that they can't be trusted to do the right thing if doing the right thing will cut into their profits.

This particular case is a little silly, but what's the alternative? "Use common sense," is too vague and easy to abuse, so this is what we get.

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4159709-tesla-headed-credit...

This is just one (of many) "short case" articles against TSLA. According to almost every source I've come across, Tesla has continually shifted the goalposts around meeting their production schedules, and is burning through cash at an unsustainable rate.

Recently their credit rating has been downgraded, and they need, and it will be difficult to get, a massive amount of debt to continue operations.

I'm not real clear on what people base their expectations on them succeeding on.. hype?

An excerpt:

"In downgrading, Moody's states:

Tesla's ratings reflect the significant shortfall in the production rate of the company's Model 3 electric vehicle. The company also faces liquidity pressures due to its large negative free cash flow and the pending maturities of convertible bonds ($230 million in November 2018 and $920 million in March 2019). Tesla produced only 2,425 Model 3s during the fourth quarter of 2017; it is currently targeting a weekly production rate of 2,500 by the end of March, and 5,000 per week by the end of June. This compares with the company's year-earlier production expectations of 5,000 per week by the end of 2017 and 10,000 by the end of 2018."

That doesn't sound like "exceeding production targets" to me
If you trust a central authority such as the government, then blockchain doesn't solve a problem you have.

That doesn't change the fact that many people don't trust the central authorities, often because their situation differs from yours such that it is not rational for them to trust the central authorities. In some cases blockchain solves their problems.

Blockchain solves real problems. They just aren't problems you (or most people on HN) have.
Hey, thanks for the feedback on Roast My Site!

It's actually my hobby project and I put it together in a couple days time. Its still in early development stages, a lot of things are missing and some are not working.

Also, since there was no official launch, there is no traffic or users to actually submit sites and/or roasts. But they are coming soon and I think its going to be fun :D

And it started right after Trump won. Before that night the wisdom was exactly the opposite: that our elections can't be hacked, and we shouldn't believe claims about it.

Then Trump won and created mass hysteria in the political community, then the FUD went full steam ahead about Russia.

Instead of talking of the contents of the leaks, all we now can talk about was that there was a leak – and, oh – it was Russia hacking! (But don't discuss the details in the leaks, though. Instead pivot the discussion to malevolent hacking.)

I'm extremely skeptical Russia and their paltry spending had any effect on the election. Clinton and Trump were well known in this country long before the election anyhow. Clinton had a close relationship with Russia for that matter. And domestically Clinton/Trump and U.S. stakeholders spent billions of dollars to sway public opinion. Russia can't compete with that.
You should read some RV forums for the hoops they need to jump through to get coverage, and deal with data caps
Recurrence equation (3.16):
k0=1,
kn+1=1+min{2k⌊n/2⌋,3k⌊n/3⌋}(n≥0).
Thus, for example, k1 is 1+min(2k0,3k0)=3 and the sequence begins as 1,3,3,4,7,7,7,9,9,10,13,⋯ One of the authors of this book has modestly decided to call these the Knuth numbers.

Exercise 25 asks for a proof or disproof that kn≥n, for all n≥0. The first few k's just listed do satisfy the inequality, so there is a good chance that it is true in general.

The Chamber of Commerce could easily sue on the grounds that these regulations are overbroad and even the incumbent governor is on the record as saying so, but the cost of compliance (displaying a sign) is low and it's handy to have something to kvetch about.

>async rendering which solves a problem that very few web apps have.

From my experience of talking to React developers, data fetching is the most common problem people bump into with React apps. Async rendering is key to making data fetching easy and natural in React, and to providing a great user experience whether the user is on a fast or a slow network. Please watch the second part of my talk for a demo if you’re not convinced: https://reactjs.org/blog/2018/03/01/sneak-peek-beyond-react-...

>We’re losing some important escape hatches

We believe that the combination of new lifecycle hooks and the non-legacy old ones covers all use cases we are aware of (including escape hatches!). If we missed some use case you relied on, we are asking you to let us know: https://reactjs.org/blog/2018/03/27/update-on-async-renderin...

Escape hatches are core to React’s philosophy. To reiterate a point from the blog post, we have more than 50,000 React components at Facebook, and they aren’t going to rewrite themselves :-).

So we are committed to both supporting those lifecycles under `UNSAFE_` aliases (as mentioned in the blog post, they will continue working in React 17), and will provide async-safe hooks for use cases we might have missed (please report them!)

Thanks.
At the beige box retailer I worked for, about a decade ago, we got a couple of the local high school's computers in for repairs. They told us the systems just wouldn't boot, and they "smelled funny."

Took the case off, and behold! The Intel fan had seized, melted, and caught fire. It wasn't a particularly old system so I'm not sure how the thermal protection didn't kick in, but that had happened on two near-identical systems. No saving those boards.
> I enjoyed the movie, and assumed much of it was dramatized.

Same, and this multi-thousand-word nit-pick is just weird. E.g. "Movie asserts: Joan is in her early 30s when they meet. NO. She was 28. Ray was 55." Does 28 vs. 32 really matter? Neither is okay by the "half plus seven" rule.

Seriously, some people need to chill out and enjoy a Michael Keaton movie.

These are very low orbit satellites, not geosynchronous ones. 200 miles, instead of 36,000. Should be much better latency
Apple has actually gotten quite good at adopting Swift for new projects where ABI stability is not an issue. Off the top of my head, Picture-in-Picture, Dock, and Touch Bar on macOS, and Calculator and parts of the WWDC app on iOS are mostly Swift. New developer tools, such as Playgrounds and parts of Xcode are Swift as well. Of course, you’ll notice that none of the uses I mentioned were core frameworks, since these are places where Apple cannot use Swift code.

I don’t think that those convicted of crimes should be relegated to working at gas stations for the rest of their lives.

That is punitive justice and it doesn’t work. In fact, I would posit that it increases recidivism. If criminals aren’t offered a chance at a stable life, why should they even try resolving their issues?

In this case it sounds like mental illness as opposed to hardened criminal to me.
Just wanted to say, for sure there's wrong stuff everywhere (a couple of versions of failed missiles maybe), somewhere in the system, but America is by far one of the best countries in the world to have been born, and I'm not being a crazy fan or something, just stating the facts. I think many people in there just like to critizice a little too much about everything, not usually from objectivity (not knowing how actually difficult is to keep things going ok). Many would like to have half a country like the one you have there. Just saying.
It's interesting that the issue becomes one of picking the lesser evil, isn't it. I'm a perfectionist, in the sense that I think we can always do better, but there is a cost to that, too, so I don't continue forever on a path of improvement (which makes for straight roads, as William Blake pointed out).

Current internet satellites with a geosynchronous orbit are about 35,000km above the surface. These Low Earth Orbit satellites will be less than 2,000km above ground, and as low as 300km above. This difference should have a big impact on the current latency number of satellite communication.

[http://www.vsat-systems.com/satellite-internet-explained/lat...]

Edit: Please note that the data packets make a two way trip from the satellite. Many network communications assume a lot of two way communication from client and server, so this decrease in distance should have a big impact.
I have a few qualms with this app: [1]

1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by writing a shell script, compiling your own custom X server, and then monitoring the screen state for full-screen apps. For Windows or Mac, you just remote desktop to your Linux box with built-in software.

2. It doesn't actually reroute the notifications. Most people I know want to be able to perform presentations without the visual clutter of notifications, but they still carry a phone to check their Instagram while presenting. This does not solve their notification issue.

3. It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?

something like that already happened to me. i was coming into the us as a tourist (and i was a tourist, i was visiting SF because i found really cheap tickets and a cheap airbnb). at border control, the office starts typing at her computer, i asked her if there was something wrong.

she said, and i'm not joking, that she was searching for me on facebook because "she wanted to see the reasoning for me to come and go from the us". i said i had no facebook account (i don't, i don't like facebook) and she said "it was really suspicious for me not to have a facebook account, since everybody had one".
It's not relevant to you.

Enterprise pricing generally basically scales with the size of your company/budget and how much trouble they think you'll be worth as a customer.

As a rule of thumb, it starts at just above 1000 USD per unit, and goes up from there.

Many contracts are bespoke orders especially when you're dealing with a small company, so you can't have transparency since there isn't a single product.
I can't speak for anyone currently in the chain, but overall the thread is quite confusing.
Unless Kodi has changed substantially, even though it exposes an interface for live TV, it provides no mechanism for tuning, capturing a stream, or writing it to disc/DVR. That’s all passed off to a third-party backend like MythTV.
> How much is too much to build the future?

That statement is pretty irrelevant, though, when it comes to whether or not Tesla can be a going concern. There were tons of railroad companies in the late 1800s that "built the future", and same thing with telecom companies in the late 1990s. While we're still reaping the benefits of those investments today, almost all of those original companies went bankrupt.
That 2,000 number isn't meaningful to where they're at now, which is closer to 1,000 per week, or 12,000 per quarter. That should continue to gradually climb as the year goes. 24,000 in the last quarter of the year would be a solid goal.

At 50,000 units in the first year, it would be one of the most successful first year model vehicles in recent automotive history. At 100,000 units the second year, it would be one of the most successful luxury sedans on the planet.

Awesome, I didn't realize you did an interview! I have a ton of respect for the high standards you've been maintaining with data quality, keep it up.

My personnal reason for not moving to swift is concurrency. As long as there isn't a clear prefered model for concurrency (node-style event loop with asyncs or actors), i won't start developing on the server with this language (which is great).

Unfortunately i don't see a lot of progress being made on that front since Chris lattner wrote its concurrency manifesto.

To be fair if a function gets called, any functions called from it also... get called (whether arguments to them have changed or not).

So if anything, this particular example speaks more to React components being “just functions” (which is a statement I disagree with—but I don’t think this example is very relevant to that).
I'll tell you when I buy a car the first thing I look at is how many millimeters between the door panels. Nothing else makes me happier than to have a car with 2 millimeter gap between door panels. Driving Experience, fuel economy, range, safety - those are always secondary to 2 mm door panel spaces. And that is what people mean when they talk about Tesla's low-quality they mean 3 4 5 mm door panel spaces...
Musk's companies are putting better rockets in space than NASA. Optimism does get a premium sometimes, because sometimes it actually pulls through.

Unfortunately Apple still considers (Core)Foundation to be outside the auspices of Swift Evolution, which makes getting issues like these fixed much harder.

I think you have your distances wrong. Geosynchronous orbit is 36,000km not miles.

LEO is a range between 300km - 2000km. I suspect the satellites will be on the higher range to reduce atmospheric drag. The IIS has a 400km (250 miles) orbit and it's orbit decays at 2km/month without correction maneuvers.

He was charged with illegal insider trading. It turns out that is in fact a crime.

> Defendant Jun Ying (“Ying”) committed securities fraud by engaging in illegal insider trading. After being entrusted with material, nonpublic information about a massive cyber-intrusion and data breach suffered by his employer, Equifax Inc. (“Equifax” or “the company”), Ying exercised all his vested Equifax stock options and sold the shares prior to the public announcement of the breach. By selling when he did, Ying avoided losses in excess of $117,000.

So he has a million dollars, but to avoid losing 10% he risks everything, including jail time?
> Ying avoided more than $117,000 in losses.

Seems like a pretty high risk for such low reward.
So there wasn’t enough evidence against the executives that made smaller, relative to their total ownership, unplanned sales?
