They probably won't be able to withstand hits. However they have the ability to maneuver if necessary, and even if there's no maneuvering capability each one should deorbit on its own in less than a decade.

Probably the biggest concern (and this is still a very small concern!) is debris making it back to earth without burning up. The SpaceX FCC applications list some parts of the satellites that won't necessarily burn up on reentry, and some of them are large enough to ruin your day. That said, the surface of the Earth is really really big and unless something goes wrong with a satellite they'll intentionally deorbit it over the ocean so no one gets hit by space junk.

Much of what is self-diagnosed as phone "addiction" is really some form of post-partum/separation anxiety-avoidance.

When you learn a behavior and reinforce it long enough, any disruption to that has a nasty tendency to "break" people. Take solitary confinement, or soldiers-- trained to lose their sense of self during boot camp and adopt a career specialty, a team identity and a surrogate "family" over the course of years and then get everything taken away due to RIFs. it's not just PTSD that contributes to veteran suicides.

With phones, we have entire generations who learn to swipe before they even know how to wipe. Kids and teenagers are on-call 24/7, ready to respond to meaningless notifications and updates anytime anybody on Earth does anything. Even in cases where they're being bullied to the point of suicide, they'll check in regularly for another dose of abuse until the bitter end. Go to a restaurant and count how many "couples" are on their respective phones instead of interacting with each other.

Our behavior is being shaped in ways our primitive understanding of psychology has yet to adapt to. Nobody is in a hurry to put down their phones because they're so connected the rest of the time, the isolation that follows is its own form of withdrawal.

Doesn't make it an addiction, but when compulsivity drives your behavior, you're not that far removed from it either.
Given that processor technology has underperformed Moore's law since 1999, I'm surprised that Rivest underestimated the time needed to complete the challenge. I wonder how that happened.
I got a nice phone holder and use Android Auto and "Ok Google" and barely touch my phone now
To turn this idea on its head...maybe SpaceX will be able to compete with Verizon/AT&T etc. by providing a global Internet service that also has some way of connecting to phones. I'm imagining having an Internet and cell phone plan in one, all powered by Starlink, with no roaming or other B.S. to deal with.
A minute of Googling gave me this: https://twitter.com/notch/status/22330335379333120
This sort of behavior is considered anti-social and is generally unlawful and I would recommend that you do not do that.
Feel free to port to a Switch emulator. I realize that the point of porting Core War is lost on an emulator. Even when the OS shell crashes, it starts right back up, anyway.
Oh it absolutely is. You park your collection satellite right behind the target satellite, so you soak up all the transmissions that overshoot.

http://spaceflight101.com/shijian-17-rendezvous-with-chinasa...

The NSA has been known to use their imaging satellites to find transmitters which they can then snoop on once they know where they are pointing.
If you are seriously asking, the answer is that these are dog whistles for white nationalistic and homophobic groups respectively.

Furthermore, the concept of "the white race" is unscientific, and was created to group together a majority against minorities. Italians, Jews, even the Irish were consider "non-white", while the Spanish conquistadors began calling themselves blanco in order to state their superiority over the aztecs.
Once there are space hotels, surely they’ll be the default internet provider
If their service is reliable, I would join right away. I'm in a populated area and our internet is absolutely terrible. My internet stops working at least 5 times a night. I called the provider numerous times and I plan on switching. The problem is that the competitor isn't much better. I can't wait until someone disrupts this POS industry.

It would be a very good idea to run the tests against Firefox as well as Chrome to avoid replicating Chrome bugs that the Chrome team might later fix.
I haven't seen any exploits from application level getting access to the OS. There is basically one exploit being used on the switch which uses a bug in the nvidia chip at boot which gives you a higher level of access than the OS and all of the security checks. Its such a powerful exploit that can only be fixed by a hardware change that no other exploit is needed.

I'm not a hardware guy, but i doubt it. They would need to reduce the size and power requirements by an order of magnitude each of which we are currently struggling to do nowadays. Most importantly though, the wavelengths they are using i do not think penetrate buildings well and I don't think any of other wavelengths can effectively transmit that much bandwidth through buildings from space efficiently/economically.
It was decided that the solution would be kept secret until the 15th of May, when the time-capsule shall be opened.

As the problem states: there's a number allowing to factorize n. There's also a little message.

Every WeWork is different.

I was one of the very first WeWork customers in New York. I was in the Chinatown building when it was still unfinished. I remember someone asking me about decor and what I thought they should do. I think it might have even been Adam Neumann himself.

- Some locations are filled with real people doing actual business and provide real networking opportunities.

- Some locations are dominated by a single startup.

- Some locations are filled with rich kids goofing off, drinking on the roof.

- Some locations are filled with scammers running all sorts of scams. (I've seen everything from bogus "information products" to outright ponzi's to fake doctors providing injections and transfusion for hangovers.)

- Some locations provide an address for otherwise illegal businesses.

I've probably been to over two dozen WeWork locations. Every one has its own vibe. They very much represent what's happening around them. I kept at least the minimum level subscription up until a year ago when I finally cancelled completely.

The problem with WeWork is, in my opinion, that you never know what to expect. You can't rely on it being quiet. You can't reliably have a serious meeting if there's going to be some idiots outside the door screwing around, or someone is going to use the meeting room across from you to host an informal audition for a porn shoot and there's a line of scantily clad women stretching down the hall.

I suspect that management knows this and it's part of the reason why they tried to drop the "work" in WeWork and just become We Company. WeWork is going to turn into something of a social club. Sure, you can work there if you want to, the same way you can work out of The Battery or the Soho House if you want. WeWork is just going to become a broadly accessible version of a social club. Pay a monthly fee and get to feel like you are part of something exclusive.

What do you mean remember HughesNet? People are still on it. Some of those people are young. All of them have been taught what latency is by having satellite internet.

There are plenty of non-technical consumers who have had a very unwilling education in what latency is and how it differs from speed.

It becomes an unreasonable burden when you have dozens or hundreds of small burdens/regulations that aren't unreasonable on their own, but collectively steal a significant amount of time from small businesses trying to balance developing something new and growing with complying with every little regulation they may or may not even know about.
It seems like we are still in a transition period. Every host device I have like my laptop and phone uses usb c and every accessory like my headphones and bike lights charge on micro usb even though they are new models. I'm guessing the reason for this may be that microusb is cheaper and offers no downsides when only used for charging.
> I cant believe people reacted so emotionally to my comment

I do not believe it is linguistically possible for me to have been more dispassionate than when I wrote There are roughly half a billion vegetarians in India.

Comments like moate's, "Data or it didn't happen," do not strike me as overly emotional either. You might want to just lighten up.

> Only 5 percent of Americans identify as vegetarian and of that 5% most are liberal. If you can give me a good argument for why those liberal people should be evenly distributed around the US I am all ears.

Interesting thought. I have no data as to whether this is true but if fast food is more of a city thing (I believe it), what you're saying would seem to make rolling out something like a good veggie burger a lot more attractive in terms of marketing demographics than the simple "5%" figure alone would indicate, which speaks to the question you were originally responding to.

> This entire thread is about a question that refers to the US so to be able to misinterpret my response so significantly is strange.

The comment you were responding to literally begins "I lived in England..." I don't think a little misunderstanding is a big deal. Fair enough, you were talking about the United States.
> much less use in their day job

Yes, some are indeed very relevant. In one of my previous businesses, we built a search engine where we used DAWGs (Directed Acyclic Word Graphs) [I didn't do this part]. And they worked really, really well, in fact they work well to this day.
They also weight 800g.
Standardized tests are designed to serve the needs of the school. Such tests let the teacher and school system assess multiple students efficiently and -- theoretically -- "fairly." They aren't actually designed to serve the needs of students.
You can solve some of the issues via technology but they can hinder your employees. Basically you have to get people onboard so that you're working towards a shared goal, and that doesn't happen a lot... Security management is a real pain.
Yes I agree, they knew about the possibility of runaway stabiliser and they were not morons. Boeing’s guidance was useless to them because it left out a description of how MCAS operates, and I’m not sure it even mentioned it by name but I may be wrong on that.

If they had known that MCAS is disabled for 15 seconds by pilot trim inputs, they could have saved the plane. Toward the end of the flight they went off-book and re-enabled auto trim, blipped the trim a few times and 15 seconds later MCAS jumps on and dives them into the ground. All they needed to do was keep making small trims.
that is true only when WeWork may be in danger of filing bankruptcy, otherwise contract law prevails.
I'm pretty sure that would be gold mining.
A lot of area with few customers. Will this tech truly work well? I recall using a satellite dish for access to more TV channels years ago was never quite reliable enough to be enjoyable. One storm or decent cloud cover and it was out.

This feels like another of Musk's ideas that's like, "give me a ton of money and I'll make this happen, and it only works if I can launch 100 satellites which will cost a few trillion"

How many of these have panned out? When has Musk made a profit? Will investors do due diligence this time, or just throw money at him because they perceive him as successful, despite the fact that his only profit came from a lucky website sale just before the dot com bubble burst?

I guess banks will pump this so they can get the business, and the general economy will be left to absorb the blow when this fails to meet expectations, like the rest of Musk's promises.
Other people mentioned the issues with antenna obscura— buildings, walls, trees etc can all get in the way.

If you connect to a satellite at an oblique angle, it is also much further away. A satellite in a 500km orbit is 500km away from you when it's directly above you. But when it's on the horizon, it can be more like 2500km away.

This adds a little bit of latency (maybe 10-20 ms). It also hurts the signal, since going through atmosphere attenuates signals more than going through vacuum. Especially for Ka band signals, which particularly weakened by water vapor.

On top of that, SpaceX needs to have redundant coverage over an area. You don't want your customers' internet to stop working because a bit got flipped on one of your satellites or a thruster blew up unexpectedly. Also, a single satellite may be able to handle Alaska or Siberia but have bandwidth issues handling the state of California.

Musk has specifically said that this is not a mobile solution and won't be used for his vehicles. The antennae is too large to be practical (the size of a pizza).
That is exactly how we're doing it as well, though I am interested in checking out Cloudbees'Jenkins. We've recently incorporated Zalenium (selenium grid which autoscales nicely natively in kubernetes) - just had to work a little magic with automatic service creation during builds.
If you're worried about there being a browser monoculture, being able to fork is useful but not sufficient. For example, suppose Microsoft's new browser gets a large enough share that they (along with Firefox) can veto some of Chrome's changes? Since they have enough technical competence and resources to maintain a branch, upstream doesn't control what they release; they can take changes or not. And they also have ways to gain significant user share.

We are probably past the point where a scrappy new open source browser could gain enough developer talent and user share to be relevant, though. Particularly since it can't be done without mixing in some proprietary code for DRM.

So there may be competition, and a significant chunk of open source code will be involved, but it won't satisfy the folks who want a pure open source browser.
But for something more realistic for gaming, a player in Boston hitting a server in NY. The fiber message travels something like 200 miles, while the satellite message travels 2,200 miles.
I’m just pointing out that the slice of consumers who are a) internet gamers b) concerned about Starlink latency and c) still think Starlink is old school geosynchronous satellite. Gamers will of course worry about latency just like they optimize every other aspect of their setup, but not to the effect that SpaceX needs to mount a marketing campaign to that effect.

I need to keep gestational diabetes more in mind. I already knew of it's existence. It just never crosses my mind.

For some reasons, I think underwater transoceanic cables are much more reliable for high speed internet that satellite based internet connectivity, for now at least.
I don't use languages with garbage collection, which are a big waste of energy.
I managed to use DAWGs (Directed Acyclic Word Graphs) in a search engine, and later HyperLogLog+ and a Bloom Filter for a scalable distributed Multi-Armed Bandit implementation.

Otherwise I find that the built-in Clojure data structures are so good for all-round use that it's difficult to justify the time to use anything else, except in extreme cases.
Aside from the fact that we'd notice something that radioactive today. It is easy enough to hide something from being seen, it would be harder to hide it (especially something as carefully monitored as radiation) from a technologically advanced civilization.
People do own it, and when we bought the hardware, we were sold a game console that plays games specifically designed for it.

That's it.

If you expected more, you've been lied to. It does exactly what it's supposed to do, exactly what it was sold to do, and it does this very well.

If you want development hardware, then buy development hardware. There's no shortage of it; it's everywhere. Go nuts.

If you buy commercial hardware meant for use by end users, made by a company that fights hard against piracy, you get hardware that is anywhere between "annoyingly difficult" all the way to "virtually impossible" to use in your own way. This should not come as a surprise.

The Switch is sold as a game console, and nothing more. Certainly not a development platform. If you can squeeze a development platform out of an off-the-shelf Switch, you are lucky. If you can't, then you got exactly what you were sold, and you have (in my eyes) very little room to complain about the lack of development capability. You knew what you were buying when you bought it.

Everyone gets emotional sometimes because that's how humans work. Some people are just more honest about revealing their emotions and also may be celebrities so people magnify the drama out of proportion to what it really was.
