Perfect example of mistaking measuring for knowing. Everything that can be measured can be known, but not everything that can be known can be measured.

Correct answer to the question about capitalization: "I don't know; neither do you; somebody could trivially ask the poet; regardless it's not really of primary importance; and arguably (postmodernism) the answer is up to me anyway."
Someone still needs to invest in Starlink and pay for upkeep.

Just because you own multiple companies doesn't mean one company can provide services to the other for free.

That would be like your family member working for you and you not paying them because they're family.
Literally the first time I'm hearing this. :P
A little over a year ago I (female who had never ridden a horse) did a ten day ride across Spain and into Portugal. All of the Americans in the group were women but all of the Spanish and Portuguese riders were men. I definitely got the impression they viewed horse riding much the same way Americans would view motorcycle riding.

With the right type of architecture, low-earth satellite could offer better latency than terrestrial.

terrestrial internet goes through optic fiber in which the speed of light is maybe half the speed of light in a vacuum. Already HFTs use microwave links to shave off a few milliseconds between New York and Chicago. From Boston to Seattle the extra 600 miles up and down from the constellation would be overcome by the fast path along that route.

Note that requires switching from one satellite to the next, not the "bent pipe" architecture to your local rent seeking wireless company that StarLink and other LEO constellations plan.
But then it would be surprising if the emergence of a new medium for everyday social interaction doesn't count as "major social/economic issue" that creates just such a wave.

So yes, I'd expect the "millenials" to be different. I agree with you though that "Gen X" etc. are just a smooth and unremarkable cultural evolution from what began with "Boomer" parents.
The Vegan Society have an explainer on this:

https://www.vegansociety.com/go-vegan/honey-industry

In practise, the answer is because it's a form of exploitation and exploitation is considered Always Bad by the VS. It's probably easier to explain this to people than to try and nuance (ie soften) the stance. Not a criticism.
If your answer to "Why is it bad to use a phone when stopped?" is "Some drivers use phones while moving, causing accidents.", then that's not a very strong argument.
I was skeptical because the headline just sounds _too_ good. But yep, this is as stupid and cynical as it sounds. An a-b-c questionnaire about the meaning of a poem. Wow. Something went WRONG here.
Sorry, but there are no laws of physics preventing innovation in the antenna space.
> phased array and be expensive

There isn't any question about the type of antenna. The details have been filed with the FCC. The antenna will be phased array.

Obviously there is a high front loaded capital cost to developing a phased array transceiver for this system. The scale of the market, however, is vast; hundreds of millions of units. I believe the per unit cost of manufacturing these transceivers will be low due to this scale.

I can't know that however, so we'll have to wait and see.
I found a non-weWork type small office building, 250 private sqaure feet, one year minimum lease, cooler neighborhood and 75% the cost of any of the WeWork (et al) type places. We've got a 12 person conference room and three more counting the coffee places and restaurants that have private/reserved area that are all within two blocks. I just didn't want to be "downtown"
“Gentrification seems to be a noisy minority issue”

It does tend to affect minorities more. See Inglewood and Boyle Heights for recent examples.

Expensive gelato and coffee shops are not things these communities “would kill for”.

I understand your point, but it does seem quite tone deaf.

It’s not about “annoying yuppies” it’s about family businesses and lifetime-long residents being pushed out due to rent increases.
No idea, I don't live in California.
Not only that, but phased array relies on the radio signal hitting different antennas at different times. So the array of antennas have to be spaced a minimum distance apart depending on the wavelength used.

Working for a company while using it as a staging ground for a coup against it is unacceptable.

You seem to have an internal inconsistency in your argument -- assuming that it has the potential to destroy the company, if one fundamentally disagrees with the areas and methods that the leadership has chosen, by far the most effective means of preventing those actions would seem to be using it as a staging ground for a coup.
That is exactly what it was, a very interesting piece of foundational research in anthropology justified by allusions to the dangers of nuclear pollution.

Several minutes? If you wait 3 seconds then you would have to have more than a hundred people stopped directly behind you to get that far!

And that's assuming the entire pack of cars doesn't just catch back up to the one in front of you, where you had to wait anyway, dropping the actual time loss back to about zero.
Thanks, @rglullis, looks really cool! If I find time to play w/ it I'll let you know.
And you pay to be at WeWork ;-)

The frat analogy is actually really good here (ignoring all the negative things associated rightly or wrongly with fraternities here to not cloud the issue).

With a frat, you are paying for housing plus a social network with events. With wework you are paying for office space plus a social network with events.

Much like frats the value of that network is highly dependent on the people and varies wildly from place to place or even the same place over time.

For some people frats are great. They have experiences and make connections they wouldn’t otherwise make. For some people they suck and provide no or even negative value

But much like a frat, don’t think the social network that WeWork provides is in anyway unique or incapable of being produced elsewhere. Also don’t think for a minute that you can scale that experience or make it repeatable across locations and cultures. Because like a frat this is ultimately built on people, not Carafes of Cucumber water with bullshit slogans about “hustle” carved into them

Wework is an office space company and right now it’s social network is not proprietary advantage. Making the IRL social network more digital may be a way to solve that, But so far they don’t seem to be doing that
It has to due with the phased array antennas being used, which is basically a grid of antennas where each receives the signal at a different time (due to speed of light propagation). By delaying the processing of signals an appropriate amount from each antenna, all the individual signals can be combined to be the equivalent of pointing a dish antenna directly at a given satellite all the time as it is flying overhead.
I play League of Legends and have only DSL but my ping is only 35 ms and I can't complain -- many other players have it worse than me.

What did make it impossible for me to get kills was having 30 ms of latency in my display system. I think the network latency is well-compensated (if the typical user has 50 ms of latency, just delay me by 20 ms) but the display latency kills me. When I switched to a different monitor I started playing much better in about five games.

I think the game generates a 10 MB log for a 30 minute session so the bandwidth requirement is not much.

I had the same experience playing Titanfall earlier; in that case turning on the "Game Mode" on the TV turned me from someone who couldn't win at all to somebody who could get halfway up the ladder.
To be fair, plenty of Googlers/Xooglers/other Faang alumni produce hot garbage as well. Sure, on average you might have better code, but that doesn’t mean its good.
Latency is also much less important with highly cacheable content. At least, I can’t really think of examples to the contrary. My patience for loading pages browsing is many orders of magnitude higher than realtime uses. Bandwidth seems to dominate in this context.

Latency of multiple seconds, like you can see in some places around the world, is much more frustrating than the kind of latency discussed wrt Starlink.

The lack of a close edge node is kind of interesting, though, so i’m not trying to dismiss your comment in the least.

Edit: wording
I have no desire to see anyone taken down a notch. Except for maybe the wild fanboys who can't believe Tesla isn't perfect. I hope the company succeeds. I think they make a good product, though it has flaws, and I hope they continue to refine it. I think the hype is unnecessary, especially with regards to FSD. At this point I am planning to buy a Tesla myself, but only if they make through the next couple years and actually produce the Y.
While I'm certainly not trying to be quas-religious, what's the point of a definition of it means nothing? If there's meat in the patty because of poor preparation, that's plainly easily avoidable by scraping the grill, and bk just refuses to do it or find one of the other amazingly easy ways to not have it cooked in beef fat, you can't call it vegetarian. Absolutely there's no way for a company to never have insects, rats, and other pests in their foods even under the best of conditions. This isn't that. If they cook the patty in beef fat, is not meatless, you've made the beef fat an intentional part of the product, therefore not vegetarian. The patty itself is still meatless, the end product is not.

Edit: Most vegetarians you happen to know. I personally don't like the fluidity with which the term is used expressly because it leads to confusion. You want to eat meat, cool you do you, but don't make it harder to explain for people who choose to actually follow the definition by making it meaningless. It's like the term "green" when people guest started using it it had a definition that was understood, now it's meaningless. If someone is comfortable with meat intentionally being in their food for to preparation to the point that they don't mind if there's meat in their food, they probably consume far more meat products than they realize and I doubt that they are as vegetarian a they intend to be, which again is fine, I just dislike claiming to be something that, by definition, one isn't and trying to torture the definition to your preferences.
While on the surface this may seem true, this is actually totally false. For example, if you eat too much protein in one meal (even with no carbs) it will still throw the body out of ketosis. The science of staying in keto is way more nuanced than "no carbs" (which is nutritionally impossible, anyway). Again, read the blog I linked to if you want to know more.

Have you tried ConstraintLayout ?

It is based on Cassowary constraint resolution algorithm just as Apple's AutoLayout.

I hear you.

I took a college class. Environmental Biology, iirc. We were running out of time and the professor announced she would be cutting a few things from the curriculum.

Everyone was all "Hurrah! Yes! Less work! Feel free to cut even more and just give us As for doing nothing!"

Except me. I was the killjoy going "What if you actually need to know this stuff for a future class? Or even your job?!"

Everyone gave me the stink eye. I'm such a party pooper.
Low Code / BPM / Doodleware solutions are always the pits. Instead of letting you write code, we will give you either a half arsed UI (always Eclipse based) that spits out a million lines of horrific XML, or else they will give you an insanely complicated UI, that spits out a million lines of XML. And there's always a "script node" or "java callout" that end up with 90% of the smarts.

And I hope you like testing in real environment (SIT or Prod, sometimes you get to choose!) as they are almost always impossible to unit test.

Since you're offering anecdotes as information, I'll also add that about 20-30% of my friends are vegetarian here in the UK. None are vegan, though.

I think it's a two-parter: There's a degree of social pressure within groups, but it's also a function of where you live. As part of a university-dense area there's a lot of eco-conscious vegetarians here - which makes it easier to market to vegetarians - so they have more options - which makes it easier to be vegetarian.

Wait a minute, did the solution method amount to "do the straightforward thing using libgmp and then run it for 3 years straight?"
>"Forget joy of language and the fun of discovery in poetry, this is line-by-line dissection, painful and delivered without anesthetic."

Describes my experience with $first_language classes in school to a tee. I love reading and learning and discussing stuff. I loathed those hours where we were told to cram the (god-given) standardised interpretation of the problem, no matter how little sense it made to you or how you might have an alternative opinion or assessment. Stifling all creativity and capacity for independent thought, not to mention killing the joy of reading in millions of kids.
Accusations of "dog whistling" is often a cheap way of stuffing words into other people's mouths. Plenty of people alleged that "Black lives matter" was a dog whistle for either the supremacy of blacks (by implying that only black lives matter). Plenty of people accuse those of advocating racial reparations of "dog whistling" for Zimbabwe-style confiscation of property.

And seriously, think about what it really mans to take offense at the phrase "it's okay to be white". What would you think of someone who gets offended when people say "it's okay to be gay"? What would you think of someone that gets offended when people say "it's okay to be an immigrant?" Why, then, do you think it is at all productive to take offense at the phrase "it's okay to be White"? Whites will be just as offended as gays or immigrants, and rightly so.

Also, as far as I know the Spanish never called themselves "blanco". The Spanish word for lighter skinned people is "rubio" (though this is sometimes also used to refer to blonde hair). White Spaniards - using the modern understanding of the term White - during the conquest of the New World called themselvs "peninsulares" (after the Iberian peninsula) or "corillos" [1].

As far as the unscientific nature of the term "White" I don't find that particularly relevant. Race is a social construct, not a scientific determination. It would be just as (un)fair to criticize Black Lives Matter for referring to an unscientific concept.

That doesn't seem right. Napkin math:

GEO Satellite is 22,236 miles above sea level[1]. Speed of light is 186,282 miles per second[2].

Therefore the absolute fastest information could travel on a GEO network is 22236/186282 = 119 milliseconds (one way at the speed of light), which is 238 ms round trip. In reality there are going to be internal and network latencies so I would expect something more like ~300-500ms RTT.

I shoulder check but I'm not able to clearly make out what the other drivers are doing unless I'm way too close to be making a lane change.
People that are a lot smarter and more educated in this subject matter than myself have looked this idea over (at least I hope so). And based on my level of understanding, the phased array antennas should be able to dynamically adapt to interference similar to how MIMO antennas work on wifi routers (the ones that have 2 - 4 antennas on them). At least is seems like a plausible enough idea that multiple other companies are going to be attempting the same thing.

The legg up that Spacex has is potentially very low cost launches on reused rockets. But I have a strong feeling that the major cost savings will only appear if and when BFR is ready (and if it does what is claimed).
Yes, this seems more likely to happen in a business setting, or maybe in support of a nonprofit or community organization. But I don't see retirees (for example) having much of a need for end-user programming. Even as a semi-retired computer programmer, I see little practical reason for programming. Pre-existing software does pretty much everything I want to do. So it's a hobby at best. Or maybe art.

It seems like "imitations of things that already existed" is a flexible category that includes practically everything if you squint hard enough? Spreadsheets existed before computers. People did calculations by hand. You can do a lot of business things on paper.

"Things that already existed" also tend to be serving universal human needs that already existed. If you really needed it done and had the money, you could hire a human to do it. If the history of some human desire or need starts after computers, it's probably not all that essential, or maybe was caused by computers (like anti-virus software).
Maybe, but niche groups will keep physical accumulation alive. There are a lot of folks who like the feel of a hard copy

Shameless plug: if you are want a library for videos, I created an MIT open source Video Hub App - nearing version 2.0.0

Sorry unsure about good photo alternatives, but my first place to research is https://alternativeto.net
It's not the only place in the world where the work (educating students) is jeopardised by the evaluation of that work (tests). Tests in schools are even worse, though, because they conflate 2 completely separate issues: the success of the efforts of the education system and the success of the efforts of the student.

On the other hand, I will say that standardised testing is good at one thing: predicting which students will do well at standardised tests in further schooling. This may sound useless, but if you consider that the education system is what it is, you can help students either get better at the system or choose a different path after their compulsory term is over (like going to a trade school, running a shop, etc, etc).

In my brief stint at teaching English, I always tried to separate the activities of learning English and passing tests in order to progress on to further education. If you just want to learn English, there is no need for evaluation. You don't need to fit it into X years of school. You don't have to hit some arbitrary school board imposed targets. You just have to learn English. IMHO a teacher should always be there to helps students learn (and especially help them learn how to learn by themselves).

However, the other role exists and is arguably more important in the students' school years. You need to help the students align themselves with the careers that they are eventually going to take. That this involves considerable hoop-jumping is very unfortunate, but it is what it is. Students shouldn't confuse being educated with having a high mark on a test.
> Gives three examples of bits of mathematics with really strong concrete uses.

The point, I think, is not that those fields of mathematics have obvious concrete applications to computers, but that they support each other in how they are applied to computer problems. Like, one reason numerical analysis is useful is that it helps you better solve differential equations, a common way to model a linear system. So linear algebra, of course, has these great applications in computers, but they're still pretty indirect because it's not like we program computers by feeding them linear maps (or whatever).

I suggest you study information theory and antenna theory. What you are suggesting is theoretically impossible. If a satellite could paint the continent with a megawatt, it might work. But satellites transmit with tens of watts, which gets spread over a large geographic area. The ground antenna must be pointed for decent bandwidth, either physically (with motors) or virtually (phased array) to achieve the requisite S/N ratio.
Latency does not worry me, but the economics do.

An LEO satellite constellation has a bad urban/rural problem because most of the Earth's surface is ocean, uninhabited or uninhabitable. In the meantime, people from New York City and Detroit who hate their cable company will compete for network resources for people in the middle.

To take advantage of those thousands of satellites, subscribers will need to install high-performance phased array antennas that will probably cost at least $6000. There will be the capital costs for the space segment, also since the system is just a bent pipe to Verizon, AT&T or whoever your local rent-seeker is, they will take a cut.

Thus it is likely to be a very expensive service.
