The good news is they can be rented back from Wall St firms who have been snapping up rental properties with that windfall.
> let's imagine I create a company in Western Sahara and launch a satellite from there. What would happen?

If you're launching out of Western Sahara, it strongly implies (a) you're doing something naughty and (b) procured your equipment through illicit channels. The reasoning behind (a) is you'd spend vastly more on (b) trying to do this out of Western Sahara than you ever would on compliance in an ITU-member nation. The reasoning behind (b) is export controls.

I thus presume the response would be military (i.e. detainment, not blowing things up). This would probably be the responsibility of whomever you're a citizen of, or whomever gets angry enough about you. (In Western Sahara, probably NATO, Algeria or Morocco.) The more realistic concern is someone bribing officials in an ITU member state.

Posting like that is a bannable offense on HN. It's not ok to slur another country—any country—regardless of how you feel about geopolitics.

More generally, HN is no place for nationalistic flamewar, so please avoid nationalistic flamebait when posting here. It may be upticking on the rest of the internet, but that makes it more important to avoid here.

A software author consulting on software they wrote is a far, far different situation than someone regulating an industry then going to go work for that industry.
The definition of "we" and "survive" needs to be established clearly first and I don't think all those fancy graphs and market trends will define them.
There's a lot of people that ended up bankrupt, in a bottomless depression, turned to drug abuse or committed suicide because of the last crisis. Wages are still relatively low while prices continue to climb. Many people are working 2-3 jobs and having trouble affording rent across major cities in the U.S.

Super late to the game here, but we're (https://textile.photos/) seeing pretty great results on mobile running a 'lite' IPFS peer. Battery consumption is not bad compared to other network-driven apps, and with intelligent swam on/off optimizations, mobile peers can share and pin files quite nicely. It helps if you have a network of 'always on' peers to back them up of course :)
Another (mostly) happy VSTS user here, also loving the CI/CD functionality.

I too have had builds break recently out of nowhere:

1. Related to NPM being upgraded on the hosted agent, which was fixed easily enough (after trawling through logs) by forcing the task to use an older version

2. SQL LocalDB connections stopped working, so integration tests couldn't run - this lasted for around 2 weeks!

I also ended up on the Microsoft support forums... unfortunately, responses on those forums from Microsoft staff are invariably late and of infuriatingly poor quality.

I ended up on the VSTS Agent image GitHub site instead, and raising an issue there was far more helpful.

VSTS is a great product, I just really wish there was a decent support option for when things go wrong.

I also wish Microsoft would actively communicate with impacted customers to notify them where there are outages.

Oh, and I wish the hosted build agents ran on better hardware - they are slow, even compared to the smaller Azure VMs. For example, we have a build that takes 14 minutes on the (paid) hosted agent, or 3 minutes on a B2ms Azure VM. Some of that is down to NPM and Nuget package caching, but even the actual msbuild and test stages are much slower.
I thought "Quantitative Tightening" was code for "stop the money printers"?
I'm not slamming someone for saying that. At a huge company they will be exactly right and may fit in great there. If they can't change that opinion when working at a startup, maybe they aren't the best employee #7.

"I like to work on a team with strictly defined roles."

"I like to know exactly what I'm working on from day to day."

"I prefer to have my worked planned out weeks/months/years in advance."

All three valid, but not necessarily great for a startup.
What are you even talking about? Aesthetics is literally considered a branch of western philosophy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Branches_of_philosoph...

I'm not suggesting my definition of beauty is better, but it's definitely more appropriate given the context. Language is meant to communicate, which is why it's context sensitive. If someone tells me they have a theory about why the sink is blocked, I don't expect it to be a scientific theory - given the context.

And since I make a living from art and design, yeah I feel that I am qualified to have a few opinions on art. But maybe I should just leave that to the philosophers eh?
I think that's exactly it, as well as the comparative twitchiness of the game. You don't have time to fiddle with an extra button in something like Overwatch while you can probably exchange a couple of emails and check twitter during a single FF14 GCD.
On a handful of occasions, I've said "yes" to hiring somebody, despite having a nagging doubt about them, because they seemed to have the requisite technical experience and interviewed OK, and I didn't feel I could justify saying "no" on the basis of an intuition.

In almost every case, they've ended up later either demonstrating some unprofessional behavior, like having an abusive temper, or been revealed to be incompetent in some aspect of the job. And yet, I still wouldn't feel comfortable turning somebody down purely based on a gut feeling. It's made me pretty uncomfortable about participating in hiring process at all.

I know this lock-in pain quite too well.

That's why I've started a web framework with the goal of being entirely flexible. I've made all code ejectable, minimized/simplified the glue code (so that you eject beautiful code) and made the stack flexible (you can remove/add a frontend/backend/ORM/database to your app easily and at any time). That should give you the flexibility you are looking for.

It's called Reframe (https://github.com/reframejs/reframe).

(The default starter "react-frontend" creates a static site.)
Thanks for the insight! Maybe it was just a brain fart, but I had to look up BQ (BigQuery) just now - the acronym might not be as well-known outside of Google.
Road funding should be raised by using gasoline, tolls, and/or mileage taxes. That would force uber to pay for their usage of roads. Many/most jurisdictions already do this.

Well, I personally believe its true in India. In last 7 years, my time to office has increased from 20 minutes to 35 minutes to now 60+ minutes.
The number of vehicles increased a lot but the biggest culprit is Uber and other cab services. These yellow plates (commercial vehicles) cut lanes a lot and make me break at least 15 times each trip just to get a few feets of advantage. And the worst part is other drivers seem to take them as an example and overall road traffic has become rowdier resulting in very high inefficiency.

> It caused a $5 trillion in transfer from wealthy away from the working classes to the investor class in that 2008 Mortgage crisis.

This sounds like a made up number. What is your source?

> The 2008 Mortgage crisis robbed the working classes

How? I.e. what did working class people own that was subsequently taken away by some other entity?

> Wall Street over leveragged had huge wealth handed to them in money printing that was giving directly to their balance sheets.

A common misconception. The government did recapitalize various Wall St. entities on favorable terms, and did, via quantitative easing, give owners of some securities more than they might have gotten in the market without intervention. But there were certainly not any "no strings attached" givings of cash to the big financial entities.

The other stuff about how working Americans were the ones most hurt by the financial crisis also sounds incorrect to me. If I had to categorize winners and losers, owners of mortgage debt and homeowners would be the biggest losers of the crisis. Working Americans suffered knock on effects, or direct effects to the extent they were in the other categories, but they were not the primary victims.

No one really knows, to be honest. But, many "active managers" were indexing before indexing was widespread, so it's unclear how much of a real change this is. Even hedge funds use index funds to back some of their riskier moves and it's common to use a blend of indexes and shorts. It really begs the question...how active was active before wide spread indexing?

It's not really as binary as many perceive. It's not as simple as active vs passive. The future is probably some kind of balance between active and passive.

Note that Samsung was neither the first nor the best to tackle this problem.

Motorola did it arguably "first" with the Atrix and the BIONIC on Android back in 2011. Once Android 4.x hit, they were able to remove the trashy custom Linux it ran and show the Android tablet interface when plugged in that way.

Microsoft, more recently, did a proper PC-on-a-phone implementation with Continuum on Windows 10. Pop a Lumia 950 or an Elite x3 into the dock and you have a Windows PC. But minus legacy apps, of course. This was the "best" implementation I've seen.

The commonality with both of these, is the hardware arrived ahead of the software being able to carry them. Android wasn't ready to support the Atrix at the time as it didn't even have a tablet UI at the time, and UWP apps weren't developed enough to equate to a "PC" either.
"The humans of the Culture, having solved all the obvious problems of their shared pasts to be free from hunger, want, disease and the fear of natural disaster and attack, would find it a slightly empty existence only and merely enjoying themselves, and so need the good-works of the Contact section to let them feel vicariously useful."

From A Few Notes on the Culture
Gas tax does not go nearly enough of the way to paying for infrastructure. Most road maintenance is paid for by property and income taxes.

$0.25/gallon is peanuts. New York (State) consumed ~135 million barrels of gas last year. That's 1.35 billion dollars of gas taxes. (Less in reality, because some commercial uses are exempt from these taxes, or can deduct them as expenses.)

The NY DOT's maintenance budget, alone is ~$4.5 billion USD. Not to mention another $7 billion earmarked for new construction.

Increase the gas taxes to $2.5/gallon, and then I'll agree that road users, in aggregate, are paying their way, instead of freeriding.
Investing in total market index funds is literally investing in the economy as a whole. (Or as much of a whole as the index represents.) So while yes, they will crash with future market crashes, of which there will be many in each of our lifetimes, historically in the U.S. so far the market has always recovered.

I certainly hope Syria will rise again - but I'd say it's a big difference between being well educated, functioning civil society bombed into the stone age - and being poor.

Norway followed a similar path as Sweden - being quite well on its way even before we stole (negotiated for) most of the oil rights in the north sea.

And like most countries after ww2 - while the devestation was great, the rebuild was rather quick. Once there was peace. And one important part of peace, was liberation and independence.
> Xanadu concepts are, to a great extent, an alternate (and alien) universe.

Many of the ideas, paradigms, and systems pursued by computing pioneers (especially of the 70s and 80s) feel this way, especially those that didn't catch on but are still often talked about.

I feel that technological path dependence and an overemphasis on the lowest-common-denominator user (and de-emphasis on power users) has really curtailed a lot of real innovation.

Just because tiny sats are not detectable by US systems does not mean progress should be held back. Time for inept regulators to step aside.

So if there's a Kessler Syndrome due to a proliferation of satellites in a class of orbits and payload sizes, due to an inability to enforce regulations, you just shrug your shoulders? Responsible innovators would first develop a means to detect those tiny sats. Corner reflectors aren't inherently heavy or costly.

so it seems quite likely that this move was an attempt to protect crony firms with existing sats and incumbent business interests.

That also seems likely.
Como llegaron los Israelitas norteños a las Americas
The "current government" is barely functional. I'd point to changes like the unpopularity of tax breaks for the wealthy, the increasing embrace of democratic socialism and the leftward shift of the Democratic party as signs that the American public is going to be far less forgiving the next time around.
For this example, I set up a hosted Kafka cluster on Azure using HDInsight, as I didn't want to mess around with setting up Kafka. It's probably an expensive way to solve this problem long-term, as we're not really using anything exotic that a stock Kafka install wouldn't do out of the box.

Your comment is lazy. You saw "pro-union" in the submission title and delivered a canned anti-union reply.

While consumers may have moved on to do most of their device time in front of a phone, tablet or phablet, the rest of us still spend many hours a day in front of a computer.

"Taiwan, Province of China, is not listed separately in the UN M49 but included in China." [1]. It is an unofficial member, however, which is why you can dial +886 to get to Taiwan [2].

I'm still unclear why you would think that people would openly discuss their prejudicial biases when discussing their interview processes and decision making.

The behaviour isn't socially desirable, has potentially serious consequences for disclosure ("The Triplebyte people won't work with us because I told them my interview process begins by throwing out all resumes with funny sounding names."), and assumes that the people involved are aware of their behaviour.

Yep, if everyone went passive, it would probably become a problem. But currently, less than 18% of global stocks are owned by index investors [1]. And there's likely an equilibrium point between 18% and 100%, where both active and passive investment make sense.

Totally agree. However, I will say anecdotally as a people manager that great additions to a team tend to bring new ideas and perspectives while simultaneously having something (values, perspectives, etc.) that anchors them to the existing group. If somebody deviates too far from the existing team it tends to cross a threshold from productive disruption to toxic conflict.

I kind of think of this in the context of material properties and teams having their own stiffness and strength. The higher the strength, the harder it is for imposed forces (i.e. challenging new perspectives and personalities) to cause team failure. The higher the stiffness, the more resistant to changing form under imposed forces. I assume high strength is universally preferred, but stiffness is a little more complicated; a high stiffness team ensures consistency but is difficult to alter and improve upon, whereas low stiffness enhances your ability to reshape and broaden team culture but also leaves it more sensitive to changes.
Which can still happen in a simulated way that minimizes harm but maximizes perceived harm by the inflictor. The gory death of an opponent in an FPS who respawns without incident elsewhere, for instance.
The more people invest in index funds, the more opportunities for active investors. The market balances itself naturally.
We had API cached by ClodFront. In the process of troubleshooting we turned it off and we attached frontend directly to API. There should be CORS headers though.
