I think it's valid to think about both. I just think sometimes people try to reduce risk to zero with no regard for the fact a zero risk society is one without civil liberties.
... and buy separate devkit hardware (relatively cheap compared to Wii U days, but still), make an actual game (devkit does not play retail games, and retail console cannot install dev-signed apps), get it through TRC/lotcheck, pay the fees to publish the game, give trailers/launch material to Nintendo, never once mention its secret purpose as a jailbreak, and then secretly share it with all your friends without any bit of the hacker community finding it out. Extremely easy.
Then again based on the trajectory of phone sizes the past few years, it might not be too far off in a couple of years. ;)
You know, Drupal feels like this for me as well. We have Jenkins testing and deploying Drupal projects and it's like one of those cranes at the tip parked on top of a mound of garbage, shifting crap from one mound to another.
competitive gamers make up a very small percentage of all internet users (or even gamers!). Like professional athletes, they will move or go to a special facility for this sort of latency requirement.

Many games are not as latency sensitive as you think - people used to play over modems!
Good to know, thanks. I suppose at the scale of SpaceX, ASICs may be an option.
That's not 30ms ping, that's add 30ms ping.

That sounds more like the car insurance schemes to give a discount by sharing your data. Are you sure she didn't opt into that? Just curious as first I've heard of such a thing outside of auto insurance.
Comparing the expectation of relatively apolitical professionalism to slavery is absurd.

There are valid reasons why keeping the workplace apolitical is valuable. When it isn't, one political group usually established dominance and suppresses the opposition. The workplace becomes an environment where a subset of political views monopolize conversation, and a large portion of workers are alienated as a result. If your goal is to hire the best employees regardless of political leanings, then maintaining an apolitical workplace is a good choice.

It is okay, just don't buy anything made by Nintendo unless you're ok with Nintendo's restrictive 'nanny console' TOS. You can run Linux and play GTA and Mortal Kombat on other consoles. Nintendo is geared towards people who like Nintendo.

Hey All! Cryptophage team here (https://www.cryptophage.com). Feel free to ask any questions about our alternative approach to solving the puzzle that Bernard just cracked!
Why the dependence on Kubernetes everywhere in these new tools?
Wow, this is so much better. I hope they deprecate cout and its inane operator overloads. Call me old-fashioned but I like an operator to do something at least logically consistent with its intended use. Shifting shouldn't print or read from a stream, what on earth made them think that's a good idea?

One thing that drives me crazy about C++ is that if you incorporate a few different third-party libraries you often end up writing a few different DSLs. Everyone has their own subset of operator overloads that do different things in different contexts and you just have to remember which one does what based on your receiver type -- which is often 'auto' these days anyways. It's maddening. Worse still, the STL plays this game. Time to move on.

As HN: Has anyone kept objects and types separate in OOP?
Objects are really prototypes, not true types. So they should be subsumed under a type system (preferably not one that just types them ass as "object") instead of being made equal to types.
30ms would be you and the game server both on Starlink, on the same satellite. Otherwise, you have to add that to the latency between the ground station and the target server.
My experience at wework was also very positive. got to meet some attorneys at an adjacent office and grew quite friendly with a few startups down the hall. They also take care of all the events throughout the work week, and open it up to every company in your office. This results in a lot of interesting conversations that I otherwise would not have had.
I've never understood this example.

A razor without the blade is just a handle. All the engineering is in the blades. Of course the handle is cheap and the blades are expensive.

”Diet data were collected using food frequency questionnaires or by taking a diet history. Each participant was asked a long list of what they’d eaten for the previous year or month. The data were collected during a single visit.The study had up to 31 years of follow up (median: 17.5 years), during which 5,400 cardiovascular events and 6,132 all-cause deaths were diagnosed.
A major limitation of the study is participants’ long-term eating patterns weren’t assessed.”

You can probably start eating your eggs again.
Food questionnaires are pretty much useless, and more so the longer the time period you’re supposed to try to remember your food intake for. People usually can’t remember what they’ve eaten for the last week, much less the last month or year. These dietary epidemiology studies get way too much attention and can’t prove anything. Here we’re supposed to act on a single questionnaire being administered, asking about an already-at-the-time maligned food product, and a followup decades later, with no interim data, and no data on other factors known to influence heart disease (exercise, stress, etc.)

For a good critical look at the heart disease question, I recommend Dr. Malcolm Kendrick’s series of posts on the topic

When your software needs to build on, or run on multiple targets, it's useful to define it in a matrix. Here's an example: https://0-8-0.docs.drone.io/matrix-builds/

It's going to be a similar situation to cell phones. When you purchase the product, you know that it will be slow some times outside of your control, but that's the trade off for being able to get connectivity almost anywhere. With no hassle as long as you can see the sky. On your boat? Sure! On your farm 30 miles from anything? Sure!

It will be interesting to see if they geo-lock the base stations or will allow you to move them and then re-calibrate/re-register your location for load balancing.

I'm so glad that this is legal at least somewhere. I hate sitting at a red for minutes with a full view of a clear intersection.
Which raises the question, has someone maybe hidden something like this somewhere already on the earth?

But they're not being asked to produce a justifiable answer. This is multiple choice with only 1 'correct' answer.

The only way to really test comprehension is through essay questions but then the complaints on subjectivity are raised and we're back at standardised multiple choice
Frats make everybody pay to join.
You could, but it'd be harder to do accidentally which is where most of the GitHub databreaches happen.
they're not being taught to read a piece of literature, identify literary techniques, or think critically; they're being taught how to choose one "correct" answer from a selection of garbage. whether they can justify that choice or not never enters the picture, this is a standardized test and there is only one acceptable answer.
Just bin case anyone needs a datapoint on whether or not Zendrive is a creepy data mining and privacy-invasive kind of company...

When I went to their website, I was soon greeted with a chatbot that asked":

"Welcome $myCompanyName! What brought you here to check us out?"

I've never visited them before. I'm at an office that shares an internet facing IP address with another company (I might go ask one of them to visit the site, to see if they've just linked that IP address to the company I work for, or if they're even creepier than that...)

Sneaking a look in dev tools is interesting...

Looks like they're specifically targeting 18 companies with tailored messages and CTAs.
Hmm, those seem to be gone and I never downloaded them before.

Hah, guess the reason I've never noticed any compat issues is they removed the apps they broke compat with.
I could see this actually reduce the costs in fact. Right now Tesla's all need gsm/lte support for updates. This would let the updates work anywhere in the world without the other infrastructure that's needed.
A city on Samosir, on the island of Lake Toba would look spectacular but quite impractical.
Wow I never knew Jenkins could scale its workers like that. We definitely have performance issues with our Concourse cluster running in K8s. It's got it's own set of dedicated nodes but we need to scale the workers better as they're ofter under heavy load throughout the day when the devs are pushing code and a bunch of tests are running in Concourse (and PR checks as well)!

Concourse definitely feels more refined than Jenkins. Like other commenters have said, it's a steep learning curve to grasp how things move between Tasks/Jobs.
The majority of the latency improvment from these hft networks is because the path taken by them is more direct. Fiber routes follow roads and railroad tracks. The series of point to point antennas takes closer to a straight line.
I guess my answer would be that this is the kind of decision that requires being able to see the big picture. Is an individual developer in a position to weigh future recruitment challenges?

My remark about firing a person merely wanting to write something in a different language was off base and end up derailing the discussion. But the point I should have made, and stick by, is that this decision is properly made at either the company wide level, or for large companies at the level several rungs up the ladder. It isn't at all, like someone suggested above, equivalent to picking a personal IDE.
Yeah, as soon as you start taking meetings or hiring employees you quickly start breaking insurance, HOA, and zoning. And quickly have to register your business with the city or risk serious fines.

If it's your second home that you have your morning coffee in and have a personal office that you do non physical tasks on, and occasionally have a friend or cofounder over for a beer you're looking pretty good.
This is what I’ve been doing lately. It has the advantage of being able to run the scripts without GitLab CI.

> If somebody is fraudulently selling snake oil then prove it transparently in court.

I'd rather not live in a society where it takes hundreds, thousands or millions of people becoming sick, injured or dead to eventually bring a class action lawsuit against an entity that was allowed to openly sell snake oil to sick and desperate people for long periods of time.

> If somebody is using heroin then its none of your business.

It's society's business when a drug with a relatively low LD50 that has fatal interactions with alcohol and many common prescription drugs is sold on drug store shelves as a panacea.

1000 km / speed of light = 3.34 ms. Suppose you want to ping a server next door to you and your ISP is a satellite 1000 km away. The distance your signal travels is 1000km from client to satellite, 1000 km from satellite to server, 1000km from server to satellite and 1000km satellite back to client. 4000 km at the speed of light is 13.34ms (the transceiving latency is probably negligible in comparison, though I'm not 100% sure about the DSP requirements for this sort of system)

If the target server is far away and the signal goes 7000 km from satellite to satellite in space before coming back down, then your signal it will need at least 46.7ms more in space for a 14km round trip in space, which results in a minimum possible ping of 60ms to ping a server 7000 km away. Fiber-optics are 30% slower than radio links, so this 60ms minimum is 10% lower latency than the best fiber-optics can do: (7000 km / .7 speed-of-light) = 66ms

If the distance to your server is 2.333x the distance to your satellite you will have lower latency with radio than fiber optics. Bringing the altitude of the satellites down will make a big difference, but you also need a lot more of them in a constellation to have low average distances.
Wow. I've been a minor Notch fan since way back when MC first dropped in alpha. I've seen him go through some serious emotional crap but this makes me think he's abusing something.

This is sad.
If you look at the original article[1], it quickly becomes clear that no answer really makes sense, and for many of the questions there are multiple answers that could reasonably be justified, not to mention that the test conflates interpretation with authorial intent.

Those small iridium hotspots are also much lower bandwidth
Latency, yes: http://nrg.cs.ucl.ac.uk/mjh/starlink-draft.pdf with a nice video of the simulation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdKNCBrkZQ4&feature=youtu.be and a bunch of vidoes that include updated information here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-k1j7M2-hBfXeECd9YAQ_g

Bandwidth, not to my knowledge. As the nice paper above says its too speculative.

Nothing official.
Therefore all standardized tests are bad, and also vaccines!
No kidding? That's a huge step into the plant-based meat industry. I've never tried the impossible burger and I'm fairly excited to do so. Hopefully they don't change the original recipe completely.
Once you start getting to 3 or 4 people, forget about it

It can be done, remote teams much larger than that work all day every day without using their voices with each other, just Slack or git messages or whatever.

What if the money WW is burning through went to libraries to build more workspaces and conference rooms?
WeWork has a lot of competitors that do the same. The last start-up I worked for used to get almost free space from a local college and it would have many companies working inside of it. Similar vibe, similar folks as far as I could tell.

That's great it worked for you but i'm skeptical of it being its own business. Seems more like a side "we have extra space" type of business to me. But time will tell.
Ground station cost is actually more of a concern than satellite cost, from market analysis I've heard. Going to need more of them.
That is because you’re expecting ground access points to magically communicate with a satellite at 0 degree elevation. With a realistic elevation to deal with obstacles, diffraction, and electronic steering limitations, you’ll end up with a radius of coverage closer to 200 miles, which would give you that factor of 100. This shorter radius also limits losses due to distance attenuation. Your naive calculation assumes the limiting factor is the curvature of the only planet, which it is not; the earth could be a flat slab and you’d still need the same number of satellites.
The big innovation here is actually the CGM sensor. Having a sensor on your body that passively gives you information about how your body reacts to food, exercise and medication is amazing. I wrote a post last year on how it TOTALLY changed my life: https://medium.com/south-park-commons/the-wearable-that-chan...
I think another factor in the next recession will be the actual usage. My local Wework hit 100% dedicated desk occupancy, but if you walked around M-F business hours it was nearly a ghost town. Huge numbers of these desks are paid by companies and rarely used, they’ll be the first to go in a downturn.
No, but homelessness will directly impact the environment, Genius. So while you're focusing an iota on cleaning up cups, you'll have people shitting on the street. Much better.
Too many people think religion is something only found in a church.

On a sidenote, I'm reminded how many ex-Googlers blog about leaving Google akin to how someone talks about leaving a religion. Very cult-like, almost.
I think the problem is that most manufacturers don’t want to spend time on good UI. I got a 2019 Ford earlier and it was like “hit the voice button, say something, wait, use the touchscreen to cancel the modal error dialog, try again, cancel the hilarious misinterpretation, try again, …”. I am unsurprised that people use the phone directly since the only thing which worked at all well was the sound output and Google maps display.

If it were up to me I’d ban touchscreens in the front row: voice or, better, buttons & knobs with distinct tactile feel, and the display has to be the same level as the instrument console and limited to navigation & basic info display. I think that’d avoid a lot of crashes but I imagine it’d get too much negative reaction until the toll of distracted driving is widely recognized, just as drunk driving took many years of awareness.

5G is going to kill any prospects this internet service will have in big cities within the next 5 or so years. That leaves the rural and less served areas. Can the service be cheap enough without subsidies when a big chunk of the population won't be using it?

10 years ago this would have been a great business. I suspect the business will end up being a place to sink money for Space X.
If by "competitive" you mean anyone who plays any sort of real-time game such as RTS, FPS, or even real-time mobile game. Many consumers may take a while to figure out that latency is the reason they lose/die when it doesn't look like they should, but they will feel the effects immediately.

Granted users in rural areas are likely the most apt to benefit from this service and those users don't likely fantastic internet to begin with. However, if SpaceX markets this to areas with decent quality internet they're likely to get a bad reputation for "crappy" internet.
Also worth noting:

Has anyone published the expected lifetime of those satellites? At the lower end of that altitude range the drag is going to be pretty severe.
You're using 2000s logic! Heroku is much more expensive than pretty much any other hosting model, yet people brag about their H/DO/AWS/etc. bills.
> what are the problems with showing the place around?

You and others coming during an event or even focus hours.

Also, I imagine that their willingness to do a tour at random directly correlates with vacancy rate.

It could also be a form of decorum and filtering you out. If they're not hurting for business, they'd probably much prefer clients that responsibly schedule uses of limited resources.
It will be sad when the vast majority of developers are automated away, it's going to hit them so hard because most of us don't believe it will happen due to hubris. Most think it will take some general AI to happen when we don't need that.
If you think of this as a graph database problem, it becomes pretty easy to solve. I'm sure this is how they will load balance between the satellites that you can see in the sky as any one moment.

Even better, you can pre-calculate this as long as you know where all the base stations are. Dynamic registration should be pretty easy to do too as it will need a GPS chip in it.
Show me a captive portal that exploits a hole in the security of the Switch, and I'll show you a whole line of captive portals that will very soon no longer load on a patched Switch. Also, I don't think JavaScript is required by most captive portals. Form tags don't require JavaScript.

Recovery Mode was the fault of Nvidia, not Nintendo. Soon after that was discovered, the silicon for the Switch was iterated and now you need a signed binary, even in recovery mode.

They plug holes as soon as they find them. I don't think it's fair to compare the relatively limited number of people that work at Nintendo to the literal army of people that work to break Nintendo's work every day.
What was the ascii sentence result and what were the factorization instructions (presumably just a large prime factor of the result)?
It doesn't. With credit cards we get (included at no additional cost) 30-day loans, chargebacks, various forms of insurance and rewards for spending. None of those exist with any kinds of cryptomoney. Privacy isn't really improved with most forms of cryptomoney as you have not anonymity but pseudonymity of fully public information. Once you identify anyone (as any merchant or transaction recipient can) you can immediately access their entire transaction history all the way back to day 1. Any reasonably advanced government agency can build tools to crawl and deanonymize network participants too.
It’s a poem meant to be performed, not so much just read. On paper, it’s rather lifeless. I definitely buy her arguments, in that context. Perhaps if the people at Pearson had actually considered that, they could have picked something more appropriate to the task.
