The problem of light is often an issue of street angle, not height.

A good example is Denver, where they actually changed street angle closer to the river Platte because of light issues, specifically to melt snow I believe.
The price might need to be flat for each satellite (depending on the orbit) + a price per kg as cubesats are becoming more and more prevalent.

It won't cost the same to fetch something in low earth orbit than in geosynchronous orbit.

This is a step in the right direction. The thing that made Flickr good was the community feeling, interactions with other photographers and groups.

The unlimited photos option made people use it like a backup/archival service. People would upload all their images without naming, tagging or organising them and the average quality of shot reduced. I'd like it to move back towards a quality over quantity mentality.

Hopefully the animated gif group invitation comments will be disabled at some point too.
Yes, it's bad. But I'm trying to figure out if this is "business as usual" or crossing a line.

If you do set up a ghost kitchen, would suggest you do some research first. Lots of laws and insurance and marketing and logistics.

I was co-founder of a startup for a few years heavily involved in this space ( https://www.thefoodcorridor.com ) and running a kitchen is not for the faint of heart. In fact, being anywhere in food is not (I also have a relative who runs a couple of food businesses).

Lots of cash flow, but skinny margins.

I love Hashicorp products and i personally used most of them throughout my career, so big congratulations. The only thing i was always wondering is how are you planning to make money?

I don't think you understand what a "free market" is. This is a free market. A more regulated market would require open hardware platforms from hardware manufacturers and open systems from operating systems implementors. Only government intervention can force that to occur.

Well goverments depend on consumer capitalism for tax money = financibg their debts. So the narrative we get is that we could continue consuming with some adjustments to current model (electric cars in pleace of combustion engines, no plastic bags or cotton buds).

Saddly it seems this won't be enough. If we want to save the planet we should alter the model drastically. But imagine:
- bikes in place of cars
- no more long distance travel
- no more cotton clothes that travel half the world, are purchased of of boredom and land in a trash next season. Spin your own thread, make clothes yourself, repair not throw away
- no more fancy food from all over the world, growing your own in the garden
- no more new apartments and concrete
- dark cities after 10pm

Just a few examples. But who will choose living like this? Let us enjoy musin on Titanic.

You are literally describing ourselves.
If they didn't, they wouldn't be customers.
Thank you.

It seems the major difference is that we are fiercely NIH, or as you put it a bit more mildly, DIY. We very quickly switched to our own socket implementation, we built our own IDE based on lua's remdebug and Scintilla (this was way before Visual Studio Code was a thing), etc. I wouldn't attempt to use a "lua JSON library", we'd wrap an existing C JSON library and have it convert to/from Lua structures. At our scale and business model - lots of reuse across products, small programmer turnover - this is quite OK; I don't feel like wasting work when I do something like that, it's investing in the future.

This is a nightmare for our digital history. Millions of valuable photos could disappear for good from the public Internet because of corporate greed. It seems very irresponsible of Flickr not to grandfather older accounts to avoid mass destruction of history.
I wonder why they landed on the "deleting oldest content first" format. The oldest items are the ones less likely to be backed up by users.

They had lots of options, including removing original quality images and just keeping resized images, archiving the photos off-platform and charging users to restore them from the archive, or deleting the photos that had the least views.

Not sure which, if any of those, might be a better option, but the one they went with has lots of downsides too.
Except, maybe, the universe itself?

Yeah, the change of meaning is often very subtle, and people can sometimes disagree on the direction of the change.

Usually though, the device is used to express a kind of understatement. Compare these statements:

He's not bad looking

He's good looking

Which one would you say is stronger? I think most people would say that the affirmative "He's good looking" is stronger than the first version. Another example:

It's not without flaws

It's flawed

If you say "not without flaws", you're usually saying something like "it's good despite its flaws", so that version understates the case compared to the other one.

Again, though: my point was mostly that the meanings are distinct and that language is not mathematics. You can't just replace two minus signs with a positive one and expect the to get the same thing on the other side. Nor should you follow any simple "rule" like that blindly.

Are you sure? We're already getting stories over here in the West where people are struggling with the results AI gives them when applied to people because the results are basically Wrongthink, and are trying to figure out how to get the AIs to conform better to their ideology and preconceived notions of what the AIs should be outputting. It's not a terribly far trip from there to Deutsche Physik or Lysenkoism, except wrapped in a much denser fog of complex math and enough complicated details to construct any narrative you want. Using AI to ideologically crack down on a population will eventually reach even the AI researchers and destroy their ability to maintain and develop the AI.

(I don't think it's an inevitable trip from struggling with AI outputs and preconceived ideological notions to Lysenkoism. But I think it is an extremely tempting path for the society as a whole. There are a lot of forces that push in that direction, as the nature of the AI and what they do and control moves from a scientific and mathematical matter to a political one.)
He frequently uses map details as a proxy for looking at techniques and goals. The details themselves are just an end to a means.

If you look at previous articles, he does a good job of analyzing Google’s strategy for the future of maps.

Perhaps he feels Google’s ambitions in the AV space and vast data collection capabilities in the mobile space make it a more interesting case study than Microsoft’s or OSM’s.
As another commenter noted, you already don't have control over what leaves your network in that case. The new standards may make it more likely, but there's nothing stopping a device manufacturer from doing something similar now. Open a VPN tunnel back to the mothership and have fun analyzing that.

The real problem here is that you can't trust the devices on your network. Devices should give the user control, not work against them, which sadly seems to be uncommon these days.

Frankly, seems fair to me. The company certainly benefited (marketing wise) by offering these larger accounts, so they definitively have some responsibility. But I also don't think that should condemn them to indefinite hosting of all photos and videos ever uploaded, should it?
The real Super Mario' dies aged 84
Not much need to worry about GEO. Everything there is moving at the same speed in the same direction. It's all the stuff in upper LEO where different satellites are all orbiting at different inclinations where this is a problem. And only upper LEO, down where the ISS is at ~400km an object with a low ballistic coefficient like a screw won't stay in orbit very long.
I feel exactly the opposite is the case. Hooks can improve expressiveness a lot by helping developers to separate concerns and keeping logic that belongs together in a separate place.

While I understand the argument that hooks encourage to make dumb components stateful this is already the case with class based components. At the end of the day a developer is responsible for separating concerns of his application and he can fail to do so with class based components and hooks the same way.
Nope, but a box of Jenga and some small stuffed toys would suffice ;)

I agree. Back when Flickr was independent, you could upload as many images as you liked, but only the freshest 200 were visible. Your idea of offlining them and bringing images back when you become a paying customer sounds reasonable to me. I hope they heed your advice.

The weird thing about Kessler syndrome is that people use it as an argument not to launch sattelites.

So it’s kind of like we’re getting the effects of Kessler syndrome by trying to prevent it.
In a world where people like Tim Berners Lee are given the Turing award and people like Alan Kay are ostracized and ignored

Well, to be fair, Alan is a Turing Award recipient since 2003. He's hardly ostracized and if he's ignored, it's because his cause is ignored.

He speaks of a broken present leading to a wider broken future. And to conceive that things are broken requires a deep understanding of the fundamentals of what you're looking at. Is you car currently horribly inefficient? You probably (like me) would have no idea. It would require knowing what every part does and what was it designed to do and why. That's a big ask. It requires a deeply fundamental understanding of it all.

And this -- this -- is what he's talking about in the lecture. He's gone from proselytizing the brokenness to preaching how to build the new mindset that can recognize it, which is the first and best shot at addressing it.
Apple is one of those companies whose fiscal year doesn't match the calendar year.

The numbers that were just released are for their fiscal fourth quarter which covers sales through the end of September, so we are talking about a couple of days worth of sales in 2017 with only the (then) new iPhone 8 variants for sale but not the iPhone X and a couple of days worth of sales in 2018 with only the iPhone XS variants for sale but not the iPhone XR.

I don't really see any calendar related difference for Samsung's flagships between 2017 and 2018.

I don't see any of that being greatly material when you look to explain the difference between a tiny year on year smartphone sales increase for Apple and a massive year on year smartphone sales drop for Samsung.

Since that comes up from time to time...

In germany games with nazi imagery are as legal as books or movies containing nazi imagery. Legal through the art/science/research/teaching/reporting exception §86 StGB (3) [0]

What has recently changed is that the organization that does the age ratings for games changed its stance. Now they consider the exception rather than treating it as a show stopper.

Opening a VPN tunnel back to the mothership can be blocked. I can vouch that plenty of real security-conscious sites take steps that would prevent that for working for you. There are plenty of sites that seem to do a full whitelist-only connection list for their external network, with things in between checking the protocol internals to the extent they can too.

You can push a VPN connection over any port, but honestly, given some of the scrutiny I've been put through for some of the network stuff I've put out, I still wouldn't care to guarantee that some high-security customer out there wouldn't notice that your "HTTP connection" is actually a VPN connection. By the time you're writing something deceptive enough to get through that, you're running the risk of some very nasty stories being run in the security press about your practices.

It is not the case that everybody in the world just throws all their devices on to the network and then lets everything on it have unfettered outbound access.
This has nothing to do with Deutsche Physik but it fits the narrative of some people to associate China with Nazi Germany or any other dystopian regime.

According to [1] in the UK the major cost is employees - which make up 61% of costs, while fuel makes up 13% of costs.

Obviously, rural vs urban and local prevailing wages would mean this varies between locations - but I doubt Canadian wages are much different to those in the UK.
