I think you heavily overstate the difficulty and cost of diverting a spacecraft, especially in the case of cubesats, which in general do not have any propulsion systems to do the delta-v manuevers you state. For collision avoidance for cubesats, realistically you just change the drag profile to bring the spacecraft into a higher or lower orbit. While this can in some cases have an impact on lifetime, they're not generally going to be manuevers away from their existing orbit enough to change performance or reception characteristics as the new orbit is always going to be an orbit that the spacecraft would be expected to hit anyways.

Additionally, as other comments have alluded to, part of the FCC requirements that these spacecraft have to meet is a maximum deorbit time, which is (I believe) 25 years. For satellites as low as these ones were, that period will be lower.

I'm all for the FCC throwing the book at this company, but just want to make sure we don't have misconceptions as a community about what or why these things are regulated and how they work.
I completely agree with your assessment.

I watch a fair bit of pro play, and also play enough to bounce between low diamond and high platinum on NA. It is almost always my macro that wins or looses games.

Most people at my level wouldn't even have consistent enough play to be able to notice the difference between well and poorly micro'd games. But if they miss an upgrade, or build the wrong comp, or worse, don't expand, that is the win/loose for 98% of games below masters.

Which all around sucks for me, because my micro is on point :)
This is sometimes called the game's "meta" but it's very unclear how much of this is real and how much is basically just fashion.

Some good but not quite star quality players like Ketroc deliberately ignore the meta. Ketroc plays with loads of Ravens, he did this when people said Ravens were strong but hard to use, he still did it when the accepted wisdom was that they were now useless, and last time I looked he was still at it after yet further balance changes to SC2. How he uses them changes, but he likes Ravens and they never stopped being viable.

Games like Chess have meta too. A year ago humans believed that materiel was essential and strong position made up only for small differences like losing a pawn or two. Then Google's Alpha Zero AI says hold my beer, sacrificing loads of my pieces for positional advantage is fine, because I can use that advantage to pin your extra pieces and still mate you away.
So I've developed a medium-large Haskell project that used nearly - but not quite all - of those same extensions. I would never think to describe this as "a few lightweight GHC extensions". To me - and I think most others - it's just normal Haskell, but why even bring up "standardish" if this is what you do?
Why do you think it takes two days of work to give "proof of capabilities"?

10,000 miles? That seems like way too often for an "engine overhaul".

For example, Southwest 1380 (this recent flight) was a New York to Dallas trip, 1264 nautical miles (roughly). That means an "engine overhaul" (and I'm not sure exactly what that entails) would be required after just eight of these flights -- or, say, four round trips -- and possibly even seven if it's 10,000 statute miles. I'm not a pilot or jet engine mechanic but that seems a bit too frequent.

If that standard is specific to this engine because of its age or history of issues or something (and "regular" engines have a much lower standard), that would make more sense.
> regardless of it getting hit.

How is that possible? I mean that sounds like a problem that is physically impossible.

We can't prevent problems when collisions occur at 100km/hr, let alone 10000+km/hr.

Unless I'm misunderstanding your proposal....
Bottom line, SWARM should just move offshore and use offshore launch providers as they already did, then the FCC has no standing.
Interesting. It seems that this is possible mostly by the lag time between target acquisition and firing by the siege tanks, compounded with the relatively high speed of the zerglings - most any other unit in the game wouldn't be able to react in time.
I’m saying that laissez-faire is what Somalia actually is. The author says he advocates laissez-faire, but I’d guess he wouldn’t be happy if he got it.

Instead, the author is a hypocrite who just wants rich people left alone, but others very much not left alone. This worldview is typically accompanied by an astonishingly naive accounting of the benefits that one must enjoy from society to attain their position. Objectivism, as espoused by this article’s author and Ayn Rand alike, is a childish and cruel ideology.
Hi HN! Here's the backstory: my company (Zinc.io W14) builds APIs to automate ordering on Amazon, Walmart, and other popular online retailers. Our team got sick of the spreadsheet mess and back-and-forth coordinating office orders, so we built buybot! Now we just paste things we need into slack and they get ordered (with approval).

It works great for us so we thought we should share it with other teams. Any questions, feedback or cross examination would be much appreciated!

The Venture Capital Working Group isn't claiming they weren't securities at launch. It's claiming that some of these tokens do not qualify as securities any longer.

This is in line with SEC Chairman Clayton's recent statement that tokens can start off as securities but become non-securities and vice versa [1].

In particular, refer to his example:

"If I have a laundry token for washing my clothes, that's not a security. But if I have a set of 10 laundry tokens and the laundromats are to be developed and those are offered to me as something I can use for the future and I'm buying them because I can sell them to next year's incoming class, that's a security. What we find in the regulatory world [is that] the use of a laundry token evolves over time. The use can evolve toward or away from a security."

In general, a solid framework for evaluating tokens that should count as securities vs. non-securities is the one put together by Coincenter, which is available here:

I wish I could believe that you're being rhetorical, but it's evident by your other comments on this thread, and your handle, that your views are indeed as undistinguished and juvenile as they appear to be.

It's true that under capitalism, a laborer is only valued to the extent that their labor can be exploited to further the interest of capital, but it is incorrect to believe that this is the only possible system (it is not), or that it is somehow natural and correct (it is neither), or that the inherent value of Amazon's serfs is truly set by market forces (it is not) rather than the value of their own humanity.

Applauding Amazon or any multinational corporation for squeezing the maximum value out of workers is rather disgusting.

Great points, except child care. With subsidized childcare, I’m afraid, you will def be promoting all the wrong (and quite selfish, to be honest) goals and values.

Richest country in the world? That’s quite arguable and very common mistake. It’s not fair to compare US to countries with negative GPD (this sentence is sarcastic, not literal).

I have been unfortunate enough to to leave in a state built on top of socialist agenda. Where the concept is extremely fragile. Once you increase the government’s role in lives of ordinary people (which sounds great in theory! As per Marx’s and Lenin’s paperwork) you are risking of turning the whole country into the ordinary DMV Office (one we all hate an avoid) wherever you go. That’s a nightmare that’s not that far from reality if we jump collectively on this socialist bandwagon.
Not at all. One buyer does not drive a market.

What do you have to lose by trying it out?

Get a job and relocate. Promise yourself to stick it out for at least a year.

If you love it, stay.

If you hate it, return to where you are now, with a greater appreciation for the things you missed. No harm, no foul.

And if there are some aspects you love and others you hate, perhaps check out one of the other tech hubs (Seattle, Austin, New York, Denver, Boston, etc) - they each have a different flavor. Different pace. Different weather. Different focuses. Different balance. Different values.

I still have what I believe is one of the last great laptops with a 1920x1200 display. It's a 15 inch Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz Dell with gigabit Ethernet from around 2008-2009. It's not my primary driver. It's used as a Plex Server running Windows 10.

I'll occasionally use it for browsing when I am working from home using my work laptop on the VPN.

I usually have a two monitor setup, but my next personal computer will be a 27 inch 5K iMac. I want to be able to use one monitor with an IDE on one half and the browser on the other half.

Rather than looking at which leads to a better "positive" outcome (as some have done elsewhere in the thread re: DARPA), I would also consider which leads to a better "floor" (Max-Min type of strategy, where you find the best of the worst-case scenarios.)

Transforming Python ASTs to Optimize Comprehensions

Here’s how we did interviews at the startup I used to work for.

Phase 1: 30min non-technical phone screen. Usually we would have three people on our side of the call, but only one of us would do most of the talking. The goals were simply to describe the company and role to the candidate, gauge the candidate’s interest and ability to communicate, and allow the candidate to ask basic questions. We would discuss and decide whether to advance the candidate immediately afterward and usually notify the candidate on the same day.

Phase 2: in-person code review, typically 1hr. We’d give the candidate the option of providing us with a (working) code sample from something the candidate had written previously, or of coding up a solution to a problem faced by our actual product. While I was there we had a good mix of candidates picking each option. The “homework” problems were always drawn from the product, so they were real, but we also kept them small, so that an average candidate could have a working solution in an hour or two. And we’d give the candidate a week with no other constraints. Candidates could use any language, could research solutions however they liked, and could email us any clarifying questions they had. Whichever option the candidate picked, the goal was just to get our eyes on a dozen sample the candidate had written and could be expected to understand. At the on-site, we’d have the candidate explain the problem in the candidate’s own words, then walk us through the solution. The goals were to determine how well the candidate understood the problem and how comfortable the candidate was with explaining technical decisions. It didn't matter to us if the code ran or even attempted an optimal solution; we advanced some candidates whose code samples did neither, but who were able to talk us through what they had tried to do and explain why it didn't work.

Phase 3: working interview. We hired candidates for a day, paying $1,200–$1,600 for the day, depending on the role. The candidate would pair with a member of the team and work on some aspect of the product. The task was selected to be representative of the work the role required, but also simple enough that could be completed in a single day. At the end of the interview, the candidate got to ship the code to production (for which purpose we had a big, important-looking, physical red button). The goals were to determine how well the candidate functions in a working environment, how readily the candidate asks for help or conducts research, how the candidate responds to frustration, and how interesting and engaging the candidate finds the work.

It was quite a time consuming process on our end, but it was extremely effective at finding excellent candidates. We never made a bad hire the whole time I was there.
But you missed the fact that the difficulty is increasing at a rate that makes old un-efficent hardware mostly useless, even in big numbers.

Even ignoring the power required, you'd need 67+ MILLION AntMiner S3s, and those still are just barely profitable if you are able to get power for $0.03 per KWh, and are still sold for over $100 a piece.

I'd be willing to wager that even if you were able to buy every single S3 that exists you wouldn't even be close.
Southwest Accident Shows Passengers Unprepared for Emergencies
Sorry, a bit of ambiguity here, I was talking about SC:BW, as the paper is also concerned.

I think that SC2 and BW differ in this respect because SC2 has been constantly updated throughout its competitions to make more strategies and units viable. The last balance patch for BW was two years after release in 2001 (although a recent bug fix is said to have slightly buffed valkryies, there is some dispute about whether this actually pans out in practice but I haven't looked into it).

Those arguments are wrong.

The GDPR deals with processing[0] of personal data[1], not data about anything else any entity wants to remain somehow restricted. Other legal regimes may deal with disclosures of that kind, but not the GDPR.

[0] ‘processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;

[1] ‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;
Haha, I'd love to see it if that's true. I love cool approaches to computation. FWIW as long as you can back it up with knowledge of what the relevant tradeoffs are (and don't scoff at a more KISS attitude for doing actual work), you're pretty much guaranteed to get a thumbs up from me if you give an answer off the beaten path.
They might be targeting the wrong market, hence the desperate marketing. For people who use MySQL/PostgreSQL a compatible, slower, but distributed database probably just doesn't solve any problem. Those people need a managed solution, not a distributed one.

Soo...when a mission critical system at your team goes down, you get the newly hired guy with no previous knowledge of your code, put him in front of a dev environment he doesn't know and keep pestering him over the shoulder while he tries to get the system back up?

Sounds like a great place to work...
To the degree that this is true, my impression is that it's due to poor fundraising departments at those organizations, which appears common enough to be a stereotype. "Nonprofit" really only affects how an organization's taxes are reported, all in all.
You're absolutely right. Distributed social networks are terrible, so we should stay on Facebook forever.

And if that is not what you are implying, perhaps you could explain what it is you do think we should be doing instead.

I live in the Bay Area and after growing up on the Gulf Coast and accepting 1-4 hurricane hits or near misses per year and seeing a lot of tornados/floods, a totally random earthquake seems acceptable. Can't do anything about either natural phenomena except be prepared as possible. Knock on wood.
To repeat my other comments, the issue is that BQ doesn't actually charge for compute but for data scanned. You already pay for storage (uncompressed but that's a separate issue) so paying again on that metric doesn't make sense for querying since you're using CPU cores, which is a time-based metric. If I use 1000 cores for 10 seconds vs 10 minutes, it makes sense to pay exactly that regardless of how much data was scanned.

We've run into the same issue where being curious with BigQuery actually becomes problematic as users are perfectly fine waiting an extra minute to scan 10TBs, but are afraid of the $50 bill that comes with that, especially for every little query that might be mistyped or out of their hands when using BI tools that run queries of their own.

Actually it’s not a trivial statement. He’s saying that we don’t have enough theory guiding us and instead we just spin up a tensorflow library without having any clue what’s going on underneath the hood. And I don’t mean understanding linear algebra in neural networks, I mean we don’t have a good theory of computation for Artificial neural networks like we do for Boolean electronic circuits. There is a little bit of work out there, but no one seems to be interested in the theory and why these work. The fact that we still represent networks as fully connected when many many of those weights w_ij are completely spurious tells me that we don’t spend enough time figuring out what’s going on and instead focus on the result. And this lack of attention will be why we’ll hit another wall. We should be reverse engineering intelligence and comparing that to AI so that we can build up the theoretical equivalent of aerodynamics.
I've known a few guys who've found out they had low testosterone after many years of struggling under various other diagnoses.

One in particular made a pretty dramatic turnaround after beginning to receive supplemental testosterone. Over two or three years, he went from an obese borderline alcoholic to a tee-totaling body builder. When I knew him, he told basically every man he encountered his story, and urged them to get their testosterone checked ASAP.

The fast and loose reference point he told me for a general indicator of a good testosterone level was how many days per week a man wakes up with an erection. He said if it's not at least 5/7 days, you probably have low testosterone. I'm sure that's not universally true (for instance, I would expect that decreases with age -- he was around 40), but I always thought that was an interesting thing.

Of course, this is all anecdotal, and my buddy was not a doctor. This is not medical advice or anything approaching it, just a story I know about the subject. Always speak to a qualified medical professional before making any decisions about your health.
