If I may emphasize your point, the frequency reference doesn't come from a neurological time-keeping mechanism. Instead it comes from physical resonance. So it is definitely still a "clock". It's like having many pendulum clocks in your ear. However it is unlikely that whatever you use to count by seconds has to do with the little pendulums (pendula) in your ear.
They can have inclination other than 0. If inclination is 0 thats a "geostationary" orbit, a special case of geosynchronous. In fact these are not stable and degrade into mere geosynchronous orbits without station keeping. In general though geostationary orbits are more useful since they are fixed competely in the sky. Ground antenna dont have to track the satellite as it moves north/south in the sky.

That's true, but it doesn't answer my question.

Geosynchronous satellites can and do modify their inclinations and eccentricities to increase their coverage beyond one spot over the equator.

Why the assumption that a smaller global population is better?

Most of the things that make life good come from other people. People are moving to cities because, on balance, it's better to live around more other people than fewer. Prices for natural resources continue to fall in real terms, because we have more than enough - the most limited resource that modern civilization depends on is human ingenuity.

The hardest part of talking with experts is to make sure they answer the same question as you want answered.

"How quickly can we get something that more or less works for a demo?" is very different from "When will this be ready for mass production?" They can't read your mind and often to consider context you are not even aware of.

You are way out of touch here. Disclosing a phone number is absolutely not a nerd problem and very much a normal people problem. Particularly women or vulnerable people.

I don’t even need to warn people about it, they already don’t want to share their phone number with strangers. That’s in spite of them not even knowing a fraction of what a dangerous person can do with your phone number.

Journalists and nerds know how to get burner numbers. They have less to worry about. I know people who have been sim-jacked to bypass their 2FA and steal their savings, which they did not get back. I know people who have been stalked using cell tower geolocation. I know (of) people who have hacked LexisNexus accounts and can get your whole life with a phone number. Hell, I know which forums I could spend $20 on to get that info.

Aside from the really dangerous stuff, many people don’t want harassing texts or calls from creepy nerds, so they have reservations about sharing their phone number (and rightly so). The set of people I want to casually message is far larger than the set of people who I want to have my number, and I’m not even particularly worried about these things.
I don't think this is a fair analysis of either current feminist thought or the current state of affairs. The reproductive rights of men are important and there's no suggestion any should be removed, but that doesn't mean that in a sexually dimorphic society both members of a childbearing couple (or more generally, all members of a childbearing group) have the same _options_.

Men and women both have the right of bodily autonomy. In a "traditional" childbearing couple of one straight, cisgender man and one straight, cisgender woman, this identical right expresses itself in very different ways between them, but that doesn't mean that "reproductive rights for men are ended at the point of conception" unless you really, _really_ try.
>MO any introductory programming environment that doesn't let you do something like 10 PRINT BUTTS <RET> 20 GOTO 10 <RET> and get BUTTS BUTTS BUTTS... out of it is a failure to launch.

But Python doesn't let you do that - there's no goto...

While I'm being somewhat tongue-in-cheek, I do think it's true that

while true:
print("BUTTS")

carries quite a bit more conceptual overhead than the BASIC equivalent, and is not exactly a "very simple imperative syntax". You don't have the simplistic and obvious "goto" - instead you have the ungrammatical and obtuse "while true". And then there's the indentation, the colon, and the parentheses around the argument to print... all explainable of course, but all requiring explanation. To fully grok it you need to understand booleans and conditions, block structure, and function calls. Of course it's all perfectly obvious to experienced eyes but remember the mountain you have to climb when you're first starting out - more than one or two seemingly inexplicable things when you're first starting out can be very discouraging.

Worse, to my mind, is the loss of that small moment of enlightenment regarding complex behavior emerging from computer programs - with 10 PRINT BUTTS : 20 GOTO 10 you are composing two atomic, individually obvious statements to create something more - an infinite loop. When one of the statements is a slightly more complex line that essentially means "do an infinite loop", some of that magic is lost.
How could it be good? At best it’s probably neutral. But given our ancestors didn’t eat microplastics and our digestive systems evolved from them, I have a hard time imagining we’re able to digest microplastics well.

A political piece of text (to not say crap)
This is pretty common for large enterprises. They have an official PR mouth and any public communication regarding the company which doesn't first pass the PR filter is often a fireable offense, even if it's all positive and puts the company in a good light. If Amazon talks about being vocally self-critical, they almost certainly mean in the context of internal improvement, not talking freely to the press. Even if employees try raising issues internally at first, most companies won't take kindly to an employee going public. Please note that I am not defending Amazon, simply saying that this is bog-standard and not surprising.
DDD, event-sourcing and CQRS – theory and practice
I’m looking forward to a future where I no longer have to use languages that require the use of different mechanisms to reference functionality from library code than one uses to take advantage of your own source ... all the incidental complexity around custom compilation processes are in reality, just enormously non-productive relics of the past.

In the future — you have a set of entry points to your program, these are crawled by the language aware tool chain to identify and assemble all the requirements for the program (including 3rd party functionality). There’s no need for separate tools to manage packages, caches, and virtual environments — let’s just put all this logic into the compiler(s) — where necessary let the application describe the necessary state of the external world and empower language toolchains to ensure that it’s so ... let’s live in the future already ...

From my armchair--it could be somewhere in between what's considered purchasing power parity and the actual exchange rate, because goods aren't exactly comparable when the entire supply chain is less advanced. You may pay less for a washing machine in a developing country, making your money go farther, but that washing machine may also have a greater chance of electrocuting you due to lower quality control. It's hard to measure quality of life through qualitatively similar goods. Is a jar of tomato sauce from a developed country that's vacuum sealed in a sterilized glass jar the same as a tin can of tomato sauce made under questionable conditions?

This was always the case. Coffee shops are more about hanging out and finding a casual environment to work than about the coffee.

You could replace the coffee with an hourly charge and it would probably have the same effect, except people are not really used to paying for a place to sit, so coffee becomes the way to extract the money.

At least that’s how I, as someone who doesn’t drink coffee but finds himself in coffee shops all the time, perceive it.

Yeah, it was a great episode.

Generally speaking, I’m in favor of the US exiting this treaty, it really does seem like a clear distortion of the retail shipping market.

But I think it’s going to worryingly contribute to the dynamic where other nations, with quite a bit of justification in this case, see the US as playing a “heads I win, tails you lose” game with the world.

I also think people are fooling themselves if they think high-wage, low-skill manufacturing jobs are going to come back to the US because of this. Those jobs are gone, and automation is going to keep them from coming back.

This will mainly help highly automated manufacturing shops in the US, and online resellers with warehouses in the US.

Basically, I see this bringing more Amazon warehouse jobs, not many more much-mythologized blue-collar manufacturing jobs.

The title of the original article published in Environmental Science and Technology, along with a bit of the abstract:

Global Pattern of Microplastics (MPs) in Commercial Food-Grade Salts: Sea Salt as an Indicator of Seawater MP Pollution

A total of 39 different salt brands produced at geospatially different sites, including 28 sea salt brands from 16 countries/regions on six continents, were investigated. A wide range of MP content (in number of MPs per kg of salt; n/kg) was found: 0–1674 n/kg (excluding one outlier of 13 629 n/kg) in sea salts, 0–148 n/kg in rock salt, and 28–462 n/kg in lake salt.

-------------------------

I would tend to think that if you want to avoid these microplastics, eat rock salt, not sea salt. Much lower concentration of microplastics, which I am suprised are even present at all, really. I don't imagine the rock salt producers are allowing a whole bunch of plastic manufacturing equipment to abrade directly into the product. Not really sure what the n/kg unit represents, though (is it nanograms per kilogram?).

Second, having to fill up the containers with something at the origin, and unload all that something at the destination, are both huge logistics efforts to manage. Not at all 'free'.

What specific right do you want to give men after the point of conception?
It will hurt everyone, as a basic fact of economics:

1. American innovators buying components from overseas, which include many on HN and in SV, will now have to pay more, reducing their ability to innovate.

2. American consumers will have to pay more.

3. American consumers will have less innovative products, as their ability to get innovative products from other countries will be reduced, and as innovators in both the U.S. (see #1 and #4) and in other countries will be hamstrung.

4. American innovators will face less competition, which is certainly not what leads to innovation; it leads to profit-taking based on market power, not meritocratic competition.

5. Reduced international cooperation and trade will reduce American innovators ability to sell abroad; the U.S. is only 5% of the world's population; the other 95% of the market is elsewhere. Cooperation and trade will not only be reduced as a direct effect, but also as a result of the U.S. appearing to be an unreliable partner, and as a result of other countries responding in kind by pulling out of treaties when they find any problems.

6. As reduced trade hurts economies here and abroad, Americans will pay more, have fewer people to sell to, resulting in lower wages and fewer jobs.

Finally, the greatest American innovation is democracy, the belief that all men are created equal and that's what leads to prosperity. That innovation has resulted in an explosion of peace and liberty unlikely anything the world has ever seen, and it has, as a secondary side effect, brought an explosion of prosperity unlike anything the world has ever seen. The U.S. is now purposefully killing that innovation.

Piggybacking off that, OnLive never seemed to know if they were a hardware company, a software company, or a cloud company, and depending on which exec was talking and the day of the week seemed to have a different focus each press release.

Today you have major players that already cover all three bases (Microsoft and Sony) interested and playing in the space. You also have more opportunity to see minor players enter the space with less of need to be hardware companies (because more users already have capable hardware devices), or cloud companies (because more commodity streaming cloud options are available than ever before on AWS/Azure/etc), or even software companies as more platforms including the web platform have increasingly more high level APIs for a lot of the building blocks of game streaming.
Totally agree on the case for focus and efficiency.

I'd also add that much of what we hear or read has slight effects on us that can be profound over time.

In the case of books, nearly every book I read changes my outlook and direction, sometimes imperceptibly, but I believe the effects can be large over time.
