That's not a straw man. What you're thinking of is a false dichotomy. Not everyone is in the same position you were, and it's stupid to think that your experience is the baseline experience. Sounds like you were doing a lot better than others.

Rough calculations with numbers plucked off google, if one wants to quibble over the numbers/data source/proportion of taxes in the calculation/importance of state where one resides/cost of university/etc. we certainly go that route; but the numbers certainly do not seem that dramatically far apart.
Yes, but your cell tower aren't moving around relative to each other.

Depends on the observer. If you move in a circle around a set of radios (driving around town) either you're stationary and the other radios are spinning or vice versa. Also, many satellites will share the same orbit, they will be stationary as far as each other are concerned.
So EG15 at 13.26 monthly salaries works out to about 70000, which is roughly a Assistenzarzt (medical doctor) makes after 4 years of work. If that is indeed true it is pretty pathetic. From what I've heard of people moving into industry with doctorates in physics, some of them make significantly more. One is a director of research at Bosch, the other works at IBM in Germany. Both had starting salaries north of 100k. Same is true of compensation at Siemens, I guess the key is to not be payed according to some Tarif.
As a researcher, I have been completely impressed by how Airtable has changed the game for collecting and sharing information. Howie has been personally interested and the whole team takes a strong interest in hearing the needs of an incredible diverse set of users and improving things as they grow. I have run a research program from Airtable, connected tons of different inputs and outputs using Zapier, and even planned a wedding inside it. It's not really a "one size fits all" product, it's more a portal for 'regular people' to get the value of a relational database without any coding, which ends up being extensible in the same way as say, Wordpress or Drupal (without the actual pain of Wordpress for the most part). (Edit for spelling)
Pi 2 requires a permanent SD card as its built-in bootloader does not support network booting. It does not support USB booting.

Pi 3 B has support for both USB and network booting in its bootloader, but they are disabled by default. They are turned on by modifying some OTP configuration bits, which is a permanent change. Once set the SD card is no longer required.

Pi 3 B+ has network and USB booting enabled by default.

Presumably Pi 3 A+ will support USB booting out of the box, who knows it it'll also support USB ethernet adapters for PXE.
This is a well informed answer to your question:

I'm guessing LEO satellites has a much shorter orbital decay so more likely to burn up in the atmosphere is something goes wrong.

This is for operating satellites, but the Air Force currently tracks ~21,000 pieces of debris in orbit (about anything larger than a baseball) around the earth.

For the communications, not the launch.
Well since it's in LEO and since the sats will have been destroyed or damaged they won't be able to maintain their orbits, so the debris orbit will be decaying from the moment of the incident and should re-enter in a matter of a few months. The scenario I'm sure will be simulated by numerous people/orgs by the time this project is in full swing.
I keep my CPAP in airplane mode because I have no idea how they protect the data or the protocols used to adjust the settings remotely. Based on what I know about every other IoT device, the manufacturer almost certainly knows nothing about computer security.

This annoys my doctor because it means she has to read the SD card rather than pulling my data out of the air, but I explained to her that I knew as much about computer security as she did about respiratory medicine, and if she knew what I knew she'd be horrified.
Im intrigued by the choice to enforce all lowercase usernames, why is it like this?
Absolutely not. I'm saying that if in an election using approval voting people carried out my strategy that overall happiness with the results would be higher than if people voted according to the 'normal' instructions. Purely hypothetical, but to me illustrates the point that approval voting destroys valuable information about voter preferences because voters will turn out happier if they encode those preferences in their vote.
The concept of a damaged metabolism doesn't make sense. Your body doesn't waste energy for the hell of it, there is not even a dial for the metabolism to change. Your organs just perform their functions using energy in the process. An organ can't reduce its energy expenditure without compromising its function. Not to mention that if it were possible to live with less calories, evolution would have eked out that benefit millions of years ago.

It is well known that the resting energy expenditure is a simple function of body composition, with no influence of age, gender or body weight [0]

The first study attributes the drop in energy expenditure to the non-resting energy expenditure, which isn't part of the metabolism. There is no saying that difference in energy expenditure isn't compensated for in real life situations, the study freely admits the difficulty in controlling for it.

The second study shows a drop of energy expenditure of a whopping 2%. Another explanation of the effect could just be that the formula they use to predict the resting metabolic rate is too simple, it literally only uses two variables: fat mass and fat free mass. You wouldn't expect such a simple formula to hold over a wide range of weights, it's surprising that it works so well, to within 2%, in the first place.

The third one, the Biggest Loser study, is the only one of the three that is just plain wrong. I'm very surprised to see it appear on Scientific American. In the study, they invent their own formula for the RMR by doing a multilinear regression in 4 variables on 14 subjects. This formula is different from the usual formulae and tellingly underestimates the caloric need of fat tissue (1.5 kcal/d/kg instead of 3.5 kcal/d/kg or 5.7 kcal/d/kg as in your second study). Then they apply that formula, which was calibrated only on the obese subjects, on the people after they lost weight and compare that to the measured RMR, instead of using a more standard formula, and interpret the difference as metabolic damage. No wonder it doesn't work. If you instead plug in the data in a more accepted formula, you see little difference with the measured metabolic rate. Heck, even I have massive metabolic damage according to that formula, their formula estimates my RMR at a whopping 2460 kcal/d, which isn't my total daily energy expenditure. The measured RMR in the article, 1903 kcal/d, wouldn't be unusual for people of that weight.

That study should have never gotten past peer review, and I don't know why it hasn't been retracted yet.

I don't understand the focus on metabolism anyway. Even if a damaged metabolism existed (it doesn't), that still wouldn't change anything if you ate less. The problem lies in a miscalibration between satiation and energy need, we should be figuring out why some people are more hungry than others, and what we can do to change that.

Somehow I've been super lucky. I've got a Pi B+ that has been running nonstop in my garage for years as a security camera. It doesn't have any kind of battery backup, though power outages here are pretty rare. I've also got a rev 1 model B set up with an RTLSDR dongle to log readings from my gas meter. Same situation.

For a ~$10 billion constellation with an individual satellite lifespan of 5 years, the system would need to average ~$170 million per month for something resembling break-even. Current US satellite internet adoption is at 6.7% percent; push that up to 10% so I have some number to work with when accounting for market penetration and the rest of the world, and you’re looking at 32.5 million users, which sets an absolute price floor of $5.25 a month. Give it margins that actually make this remotely profitable and $20 a month for service wouldn't be unrealistic; the upfront costs of the uplink would probably still kill you though.

Edit: Did some more research on competitors. It seems ViaSat currently has 1.1 billion invested in its 2 active GEOs, plus whatever’s currently going in their next generation constellation. Their bargain bin plan goes for $70 a month (fun fact, they too pull the 3 month deal BS landline ISPs do) up to $200 a month. Since it only has a single real competitor it probably services 3% of the US population, so with their midplan of $150 a month over 9.75 million users into a satellite constellation with a lifespan of 8 years they are charging in the neighborhood of %12,700 over their satellite breakeven (1.46 billion month revenue over 11.46 million per month payback).

Bringing that over to a $10 billion constellation with much more premium internet, yikes.

To weaponize means to make something that wasn't a weapon before into a weapon.

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion were a fabrication for a very clear and narrow purpose, it was a weapon from the get go.

I would say the same about Mein Kampf, but nobody read that. The Nazis rose to power on Hitler's speeches and violence, not on this book which nobody really read. Yes, everybody had it, but that's about it.

Did the Sayings of Chairman Mao really cause anything that wasn't already caused by the jackboots that forced people to have and quote from it?

How was the The Communist Manifesto weaponized in the last century? Who read or quoted from it?

> Public pressure led to the passage of the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act; the latter established the Bureau of Chemistry (in 1930 renamed as the Food and Drug Administration). Sinclair rejected the legislation, which he considered an unjustified boon to large meat packers. The government (and taxpayers) would bear the costs of inspection, estimated at $30,000,000 annually. He complained about the public's misunderstanding of the point of his book in Cosmopolitan Magazine in October 1906 by saying, "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach."

So it was weaponized by large meat packers? Because other than that, I just see Roosevelt agreeing with some things -- which is hardly anything being "weaponized" -- and the public only caring about contaminated meat, at least in this WP article. Or are you referring to something not mentioned in it?
FCC-18-38A1.pdf say 10.7Ghz - 12.7Ghz, that's a lot of spectrum. Depending on the SINR they get, which depends on the power, antenna sizes etc. you could get some pretty good speeds, probably above 100Mbps. But at those frequencies not likely to have any in car or in building. You can penetrate a building with higher frequencies if you have high enough power levels, but not from a satellite. So to use it you will have to install an antenna on the roof of your house.
Not sure what exactly "mask leak rate" means, but I know you want the device to form an airtight seal with your face so it's not blowing out the sides of the mask. The mask as a whole has small ventilation holes, however.
Considering how hard it is to get a cell signal inside a plane on the ground, and that these will require special CPE, and the airlines can't change the equipment on a plane without a ruling by the FAA, I wouldn't bet on it.
You're correct. Lamport has joined MSR in 2001 right after publishing "Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System" and has been there ever since.

I am not sure if he is still at the MV office but he was one of the reasons why MSR kept a presence in MV for a while.
If you ask a surgeon if your problem should be solved by a surgery in their specialty, you are more likely to get a "yes" than you should. There is definitely a confirmation bias there, tending to see patients for which surgery is necessary instead of a fair sample of those afflicted.
Obama singled out the Kochs in 2015. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/08/26/war-...

Pelosi and Reid attended a conspiracy movie about the Kochs in 2014 https://www.politico.com/story/2014/05/harry-reid-nancy-pelo...

Funny how we forget. I don't deny Trump is the loudest, he is Trump after all. But I could pull up Maddow, Moyers, etc episodes about the Kochs that are similar to how Tucker, Hannity etc have treated Soros. Trump has also attacked the Kochs (as has Tucker, Brietbart, etc,) fwiw. The Kochs are for DACA, for example.

The simple fact is, none of these men (the Kochs or Soros) are "evil," they believe in what they believe and they put their money towards it. Simple as that. And because of that they are boogeymen to each side; since somehow each side thinks they (Soros & the Kochs) have some huge influenced...and having worked in DC circles myself and having various friends that have worked on the Hill...that's just totally false. They all WISH they had that power, and honestly if they did the world would probably be a lot simpler.

Real politics is a lot more like Veep than it is House of Cards. That's not as thrilling as people want, but it's the truth.
Agreed. I have a ResMed that uploads the data daily over the cell network and then can view the data in a smartphone app. Like the article mentions it's not terribly detailed but it does show me data like my AHI, and how it has dropped dramatically since using the device.

Good enough for me.
True, the satellites within the orbital plane will remain close to stationary to each other. There will be some perturbations, but generally will be stationary relative to each other. In one of the plans I saw floating around the inter-satellite links within the orbital plane will basically be stationary laser links between the satellites. And the cross-links between the orbital planes will be done with phased array antennas so they can be electrically steered instead of physically steered.
> Utilities are weird, I could easily be wrong/offbase but going after them legally always feels vaguely like cutting off your nose to spite your face. The threat of inverse condemnation just feels like short term thinking of how you interact with your utility.

No. The short term thinking is saying "here, private corporation, fell free to turn a profit by not maintaining your assets in the knowledge that you will be bailed out when you burn down a city". The long term effect of this is that tax payers do the following:

* Pay the "profitable" corporation to receive what ever utility it is providing.

* Pay vastly more than it would have cost to simply maintain the utility when recovering from whatever disaster is caused by the utility not maintaining their system.

In the absence of liability for failure to maintain their network, a utility has (according to modern corporate policy) a /duty/ to not maintain their network, so they can maximize the money they give to their shareholders.

> if you really hold a utility liable like that, not only would PG&E probably go away, I don't know how you'd get another utility to step in.

You mean like an actual public entity? As has been the case in most countries for a long long time?

> or you're going to have to charge seriously high prices to make it worth the risk

No. If a company needs liability insurance at a feasible price they'd need to actively work to mitigate risk - private insurance would be a good hammer for that as failing to maintain your lines and equipment would increase the costs of your insurance. The other problem with this is it assumes that the cost of "seriously high prices", is higher than the cost for tax payers when they are having to pay to deal with whatever disasters and recovery costs directly.
Tasers tend to have problems with clothing and distance, CS is easy to deal with if the person is trained, and bean bags are ineffective against large targets.

Non-lethal force is useful in cases where the police have no reason to believe the other person is armed. It works sometimes but often it doesn't. Police and military are even trained to resist non-lethal chemical attacks like CS gas very successfully. When a person is armed with contact weapon like a knife or club, non-lethal is usually only used when a lethal option is in place.

Current US satellite internet adoption is at 6.7% percent

Current US satellite adoption doesn't matter in this case because the new product would not suck. Satellite internet is not a viable competitor today for the various reasons others have stated here. Starlink however would compete directly with my DSL service and since I (and pretty much everyone else) hate our telco, the sky is the limit as they say.
> Twice as expensive though.

Except that you don't need to buy an SD card. Or a special 2.5A power supply. And you can access the it solely over USB so you don't need to hook up an external keyboard, mouse, and HDMI to get it running headless. And you can actually get the chips and their datasheets for the BBB. etc.

But, hey, the RPi is half the price, man.
You're arguing semantics in a non-cooperative way. I had to re-read your first sentence five or six times to glean the meaningful difference. It's unfortunately put you in the camp of either trying to make a moving target argument, or dismissing your peers as children - neither of which is a positive end.

Like with anything, you have to pick what the likely scenario should be and build to it. You can build a nuclear power plant to resist 40ft high swells and still get a 50ft swell and be powerless. Obviously more protected is better, but also more expensive (which makes housing less available and affordable, etc). The recurrent nature of the problem suggests to me that the code may be too lax currently, and that the solutions are non-trivial: likely major work for existing homes (from a homeowner perspective, forest management may be able to do more).
The compact itself is ideological babble. Carefully listen to this interview and his views:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88KuVlYFXsI

This guy was in many UN meetings in relation to the compact. If you watch the interview, his view is that Europe has colonized many places, so it only makes sense that Europe now open its borders. He specifically states in the interview he has no concern for nationalists or those who worry about mass migration. He says that they need to drive the fear of mass migration out of the people of Europe through public education programs. He says that it's a matter of people's viewpoints needing to change. He's very much pro-immigration. The view that mass migration into Europe is inevitable, and that the UN and its surrounding organisations need to facilitate that and make it "safe, orderly and regular", is widespread among the people writing and setting up these documents and allocating the money the UN and it's partner organisations spend. That's why I said, Europeans are funding the welfare behind the facilitation of mass migration into their countries. If you want to find out more, consider documents like these and their supporting studies. It is also largely filled with ideological babble, which is why I am less than optimistic about mass immigration and the supposed integrated Utopia that is supposed to arise from that:

>Once you’ve written an application with Python and Qt, you want to bring it into the hands of your users. This turns out to be surprisingly hard.

The biggest hurdle for me personally. I really wish the Python ecosystem would get a single, officially supported packaging toolchain that is as simple as the `go guild`in Go.
Thank you for the article, but it really doesn't answer my question. That thread's answers assume that we are talking about the current situation we have around the Earth. We have no precedent for this many satellites orbiting at the same altitude, but at different latitudes/longitudes (which negates the safeguard that they are moving at the same speed, it doesn't matter if they can intersect). The satellites would all need to be moving at both the same speed AND the same direction to not have a risk of collisions (which would of course be a circle, useless to this application).
Sounds like Fusion. That’s still going on after 60 odd years.
I don't know what the statistics are, but they definitely tried this with me. Aside from the usual sleepiness and confusion, sleep apnea can also cause anxiety. (No wonder, you're basically running on cortisol by the time it gets bad enough to notice.)

I don't fit the standard profile for someone with sleep apnea, so they pushed anxiety meds pretty hard on me. Had to insist on a sleep apnea test.
