FWIW, I prefer the European less-expansive version of free speech, over the American version where burning a cross next to an African-American family's house is protected free speech[1].

The trouble with strong 1A supporters is that they pretend like the free speech restrictions in the US are not both arbitrary and frequently racially biased due to the slow functioning of the justice system. You cannot shout fire in a crowded theatre, you cannot make direct death threats, you cannot incite riots, you cannot share information as an attorney or as a government agent etc. There's tons of exceptions that have only an arbitrary distinction from European-style exceptions. A common point with all these 1A exceptions is that they apply to the benefit of property owners and people who are otherwise privileged.

I.e. Americans who are strong 1A supporters think these rights are intrinsic and protected by the state because the exceptions to free speech pretty much all work in their favour, so they don't mind them.

She received an outright rejection before launch though, and she did it anyway. I think the "other companies got the approval after launch" story is either bullshit or at the very least a gross misrepresentation of how it applied in her case.
I've heard that quite a bit of venture money is flowing into "satellite IoT" to support things like precision agriculture, monitoring oil pipelines for leaks, etc. It seems that global regulatory, safety, and security planning are still at the early stages.
So how do you prefer the company collects money to pay their expenses?
correction: exaggeration often involves hyperbole.
If you can put a satellite into orbit that's definitely NOT "too small to be tracked"

"Utopia is a state of unhindered, continual learning at your own chosen pace."

That's a very specific view of Utopia that I suggest most regular folk would not agree with, moreover, it's a bit odds with metaphysical kind of utopias from antiquity.

Knowledge is ultimately still material, not necessarily enlightening. It's part of the dualist 'trap' that keeps us focused on what's right in front of our noses, 'playing some game' engaged in materiality. To me, bits of knowledge are just bits of lego blocks, tools for helping us describe experience.

Remember in Abrahamic terms were 'cast out of Eden/Heaven' literally for eating from the 'Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil', i.e. the start of dualism and this never ending thirst for knowledge which distracts us from simply 'being'. You see this in eastern philosophies as well with 'attachment' to things, including knowledge.

But I do like your point about supply/demand perhaps (think of it especially in terms of social status, not material things especially) and constantly needing something, in your case, knowledge/learning. Neat thought.
Because everyone and their dog would say they want it, or are interested in it, even if they don't actually want it. This puts up a (small) barrier that helps gauge true interest.

It's the same idea as setting up a landing page for a product that doesn't exist and seeing if people click "pricing" or "buy now" to determine if there is a market for it.
Going out to main memory is orders of magnitude slower than hitting cache. Even a stack overflow would be preferable to debug vs an out of memory error. At least with the stack overflow, the stack trace pinpoints the problem.

There are a couple of massive caveats to this.

Starting with that Germany example: there's a common pattern of saying "all Germany bans is Nazi propaganda, surely you don't object to that?", but it's not actually true. Germany bans 'insult', a category which produces upwards of 20,000 convictions per year. Disparaging the symbols of the state is prohibited, and a lèse-majesté law was present and occasionally enforced until January 2018. Distributing pornographic writing remains restricted, as does insulting a faith in a manner that could disturb the peace - both classes of law which are infamous around the world for enabling biased prosecutions along religious lines. And when it comes to the mechanisms of speech, Germany set the precedent on the infamously terrible 'link tax' rule being floated for the EU as a whole.

On to the question of the US First Amendment: 1A critics often have a blindspot about how the presence of extremely strong free speech protections anywhere helps people everywhere in the digital era.

The UK, for example, has ludicrous internet censorship standards ranging from banning hosting for large classes of content to ISP-level site blocking. (And it turns out those powers have been consistently used to enable copyright abusers and restrict LGBT content, exactly like free speech advocates predicted.) But the situation in the UK isn't terribly bad - because offending content is hosted under US laws and served back to the UK! We see this pattern all over. Turkish dissidents graffiti the IPs of US-hosted content to bypass DNS blocks. Chinese firewall-bypassers end up on Taiwanese and US sites for regime-critical news. Bangladeshi student protestors share videos on Firechat that eventually end up on Reddit under 1A protections. The 'right to be forgotten' itself acts as a bar to cursory investigation instead of full information hiding because US-based search retains removed results.

If free speech absolutism means saying "German and Chinese speech laws are equally unacceptable", then sure, that's absurd. But jumping from "Germany isn't totalitarian" to "1A stringency is needless because Germany's fine" is the same sort of mistake in the opposite direction.
It is a bit more complicated than that. The launch was done outside the US, by a foreign launch company.

It is a bit weird to me that the US would have jurisdiction over what a foreign rocket company outside the US, launches into space

Others getting away with skirting the rules has never been a good moral reason to do it yourself. If launching and getting post-approval was truly the norm, it would make a mockery of getting FCC approval in the first place. It's not like a website that you can take down when necessary.

Not to mention that if these devices turn into a community problem if they become LEO hazards. Making society pay for your 'move fast and break things' ethos doesn't sound right.
The US auto industry still has a pretty significant union presence, especially the US-based companies that aren't Tesla. The UAW has ~430k members[1] out of the ~950k total US auto manufacturing workforce[2].

Most of the foreign companies building cars in the US are quite anti-union though. Somewhat ironically the building that is currently Tesla's factory used to be Toyota's only unionized factory.

On the contrary, I found it really precise. JIT processes in manufacturing are about providing the correct inputs at the time they're needed. If your desire is mastery over the material, a teacher who can predict or extemporize tutorials on the subject as you need them is invaluable.

The US has jurisdiction over the satellite company which is American. The company doing the actual launch is irrelevant.

Even otherwise, just because you can find a loophole in the system doesn't make it right - these approvals exist for a good purpose - there's real danger from orbital debris, so it would make sense to be a good earth citizen and ensure that everything is kosher before you launch.
Well, it was also only 4 satellites.

The FCC is also probably just happy that they are being consulted at all. If this was done by a fully foreign company (or perhaps sold to a foreign shell company), then there would be nothing that the FCC could do about it.
Yes, things are definitely much better under the careful gaze of bureaucrats. /s
To all readers who've never experienced it, working on a large Java (and other) codebases where the original developers completely overused patterns, your life will be hell in my opinion, just as much as a codebase written totally without thought or patterns.

Swarm Technologies is a US company so they fall under US jurisdiction.
> It is a bit weird to me that the US would have jurisdiction over what a foreign rocket company outside the US, launches into space

Swarm Technologies is a US company. The FCC isn't regulating the launch, they're regulating the radio transmission. The company that launched the rocket did everything right, got paid, and isn't in trouble.

Of course, if you like it, that's really all that matters. But art history, and contemporary art, are not really determined by polling the audience for what's liked most. Instead it's determined by those who have made it their passion to understand what makes great art and drives great artists. And they are able to agree on what makes it into art history (at least the Anglo American version) pretty well, for better or worse.

This is the ITU [1]. Its rules say countries are responsible for satellites (a) built by their companies and, to a more limited degree, citizens and (b) launched by their rockets.

India was supposed to check the satellite's clearance with the American government. If this satellite had caused any damage, the company, the U.S. government and the Indian government would have been jointly liable.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Telecommunicatio...
I believe you meant naive.
I don't think it's very helpful to make such a distinction between people who "get it", and those who don't. It's a spectrum. Unless of course when it's relating to a disorder, like dyslexia for example.
The problem is very real. It's not like the FCC's threshold for what is a sufficient size (in cubic cm of volume) is so huge, they're only asking for like a 1U cubesat or larger. The things that this company launched are TINY.

It's also technologically possible that they could have met the requirements, with a special size exemption from the FCC, by putting a radar corner-cube retroreflector on each corner of their tiny satellites, thereby artificially increasing its ability to be detected by radar, but they chose not to.

Great post!

A couple of thoughts:

1. It'd be interesting to see these benchmarks "under real-world adversity". For example, as data is ingested into the DW, as data shapes change, as concurrency of workloads varies.

2. It'd be great to measure "effort" to reach and maintain this performance.

DW vendors are trained on optimizing for static TPC benchmarks with concurrency of 1, which are useful, but can miss the boat on what users actually experience.

> If this was done by a fully foreign company (or perhaps sold to a foreign shell company), then there would be nothing that the FCC could do about it

If this were done by a fully-foreign company, the American taxpayer wouldn't be liable for its damages. If an American satellite crashes into a French satellite and the American can't pay, ITU rules make the U.S. government liable.

The “pursuit of happiness” is what is being discussed, given that “life” and “liberty” are already guaranteed. The question is, how exactly to pursue happiness.
Seems like a total dick move to launch anyway and hope that approval is obtained later...This story reads like Silicon Valley hubris - break rules anyway because we know better.

"Do it and ask for forgiveness later," has a threshold of acceptability, as a function of consequences. Generally speaking, loss of life is clearly beyond that threshold, obviously. Significant impacts on people's lives are also beyond that threshold, I would say. More specific to the topic: when your product involves the capability to implement an ICBM, you are probably dealing with energies that place the potential consequences of your product well beyond that threshold.

Yeah I was thinking that if what they need or are planning is truly unique or just needs to be homegrown (a la FB's ad system tightly integrated with first party data), maybe it really does make sense.

And if a freelancer takes a vacation, they can expect to lose contract volumes. This is why people form teams, so one person can take a break while other people pick up the slack. If you're making a lot of money, you should be able to take the hit and re-organise in a more sustainable way.
What's the possibility that harsh regulators are hired more to create a kind of regulatory capture. The harsher the regulation, the more you need the expert to know how to navigate it, and the less likely competition will be able to navigate the regulation.
I personally think so, yes. Evidence in the literature is more scant, but there are documented cases.

The more I think about the anatomy of cranial nerves, the more I wonder if different dementia subtypes are caused by different viral strains that have gotten really great at infecting specific nerves. Take for example the trigeminal nerve. There is literature out there showing that a large fraction of people (>70%) have HSV-1 present there at time of death : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3546524/

How would the virus get in? Im wondering if its via the nerves in your teeth! http://teachmeanatomy.info/head/cranial-nerves/trigeminal-ne...

For dementia .... still working on that.... Im convinced though now that frontotemporal dementia might have something to do with the facial nerve getting infected somehow. It would make sense, given the facial paralysis present in bvFTD patients. Can't find it now, but theres a paper out there connecting coxsackievirus to FTD
