While this is really cool, it's worth noting that this particular mission is a data gathering one - LightSail 2 will eventually re-enter the atmosphere and burn up, per their mission page [1]. We'll have to wait for a future mission to see one of these actually leave Earth orbit.

"LightSail 2's attitude control system does not have the precision to maintain a circular orbit and continuously fly the spacecraft higher. Therefore, as one side of LightSail 2’s orbit rises, the other side will dip lower, until atmospheric drag overcomes the forces of solar sailing, ending the primary mission. The spacecraft will remain in orbit roughly a year before entering the atmosphere and burning up."

Kind of interesting, would like to have a map of the known links/what is it at a basic overview level at least eg. file, site, image, etc...

Only concern to me is that "lack of distributors" if you compare against public web so what do you put in here? That depends though, someone has to host, you(pay bills), or big company that has free hosting like a forum.
If your "right" to a "better" life involves destroying the environment and the air that we all have to breathe, then why exactly should I respect your "right"?
I am skeptical that the Trump Administration that imposed the Huawei sanctions is so competent at high-technology industrial policy that it will guarantee Intel's success in this way. Also, I don't think the missing ingredient is so much expense as it is knowledge, though quite possibly the NSA could translate that knowledge from Chinese or Korean and supply it to Intel.
Funny,I tried two years ago to use Nix to have a new onegcc on an old Linux OS, I didn't succeed and finally recompiled gcc from the sources which I found much easier (and better documented) than using Nix.
Maybe force websites to be accessible through an API, so if their UI is crap you don't have to use it and you can use a third-party UI instead.

> the brand is still worth tons of money

What is the value in the brand? They don't manufacture anything - the product all comes from third parties and they're just a middleman dumping it on a shelf for you to come and pick up. They don't do anything else. Where's the value?
I feel like fasting and intentionally buying nothing is the only way to fight back against a consumption driven society nowadays.

I have a kinda pricey VR setup at home with a ton of added software, P3D, and some physical controls, in addition to an HTC Vive Pro. I also am an IRL private pilot. I'm not going to lie; it's not the same but boy it scratches the itch really, really closely. It also allows people like me to fly big airliners, which short of making it a career one never gets to do. I have friends who are commercial pilots who swear by the fidelity of the systems recreation in some of that software. In VR, it truly feels as real as it gets. Short of a level D sim, it's the best immersion you can get, and feels super, super real.
It's definitely rare. That's 6-10% of medical visits. Which tend to be made by a minority of people visiting very often.

In fact, to use that stat per 1000 people is not very useful.

Number of people per 1000 visiting a hospital for an emergency would be more helpful.

I suspect it would be much less than even 1%.
Mark Fisher's entire work can be summarised without much loss by saying "It's all capitalism's fault!" How is this interesting? I met him personally a couple of times, I don't think he would have been able even to say what e.g. fractional reserve banking was, or the labour theory of value, not to mention
Böhm-Bawerk's famous critique.

Anyway, since I've just violated de mortuis nil nisi bonum, let me finish by saying that Fisher had good taste in music.
This is very impressive. A ton of work went into it with all the interactivity and the explanation of what makes the sound sound like it does. Very impressive work and one of those things that really make me like the internet.

By the way, this thread is a goldmine of interesting links.
I believe it is. The big thing that made IntelliJ completely click for me is when you buy the Ultimate edition and you download some plugins for Ruby,Node,Python or whatever languages you use you have a full IDE that works for pretty much any language.

In my eyes it is a platform for doing modern software development.
I am sure Tesla has already put in an order to first buy one of these cars. See whether there is any significant leg up that their own car making team can get by buying lightyear or not. Reason being, Tesla themselves could already be working on a car design with solar panels, not as primary source of power, but just to help squeeze out a little more mileage
Glad to see it make another go at it. With the death of Radio Shack, I'd like to see them perhaps expand into electronics, boards, drones, maker stuff, etc. I wanted to say adult toys, but that has an obvious connotation, so not sure what the proper term is.
Electric aircraft are impossible until someone develops much better battery technology than even our most-advanced LiIon tech.
Oh, I didn't mean it as news or any reference to the article. I've just wrote my expectation for it to compete for the reasons the store disappeared before (e.g. because tablets took over toys)
Apparently you're not familiar with the documentation burden in the medical field. EHR's don't diagnose for you.

There is no "true" intuition in medicine, just years of study and practice leading to quick recognition of common problems like any other field.

> but nothing is written in stone. Those things can be fixed as they come up.

Unfortunately, this is not true. For example, a right that is taken away will be EXTREMELY difficult to restore again. It's not like a switch that you can flip back and forth until enough evidence is gathered from both states that you know the "correct" way forward... Software has A/B tests for this, law most definitely does not.
If it wasn't an exaggeration then I would think they apologize for the inconvenience and pay the guy back. 0.01% would mean 1 in 10000 have an issue.

> Why is this post not getting more comments!?

Because it was posted on an internal forum that discusses community management problem (Meta site of Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange), it's not a blog post. Naturally it doesn't have any visibility.

I post it on HN because I believe the post is insightful and deserves public exposure.
Seems to be an excellent breakdown of how the Libra Association (of which Facebook is an equal among many) would control Libra, but not Facebook alone.

I think the strongest argument towards the latter is the long-run aggregation theory one re: Calibra owning the most Libra users, and not having to own the underlying Libra system itself.

So, I cannot speak how easy/hard is to collect debt abroad but I do know that it is possible for prospective employers to query the credit history.

I have recently applied for a job in the finance industry in Denmark, the institution did poke into my American financial life. That also happened when I worked for banks the UK and Wall Street.
They did improve on this a couple of years ago by including some sandboxes with the standard tiers, but yeah, it's excessive.
>Except that they get a big tax credit with which they can buy high-efficiency windows and a more efficient vehicle.

They will? It sounded like people with less efficient vehicles/heating would get smaller tax credits, not larger. So why would they get a big tax credit? It seems to me that the people getting a big tax credit would be those who have no children, live in warm climates, and have modern high-efficiency homes and vehicles. Not sure why anyone would think that includes poor people...

>Moreover, the argument you're making is that regions that use more carbon will be impacted more by measures to reduce carbon emissions.

The argument that I am making is that knowing a person is 'poor' is not sufficient to predict their emissions or amenities, and extrapolating the lifestyle of one poor straw person onto all of them is stupid.

>If anything it's the opposite -- there are more affluent people in cold places like the Northeast and suburbs with poor mass transit, and more poor people in the South and Southwest where it's warmer and commutes are shorter for the poor because real estate costs less so people can live closer to their jobs.

Lol. Maybe facts are actually important here.

I had one of the original 2012 Model B's (with the 256MB RAM) serving as a simple web server for years. I just recently retired it in favor of a VM.

Other than that, I have:

- A RetroPie attached to my living room TV

- A Zynthian (http://zynthian.org/)

- A PiDP-11 (https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11)

In the past, I've played around with them, making:

- A touch-screen enabled stand-alone SunVox synth

- A home audio server attached to my stereo

- An experiment to read MIDI files from floppy disks, also attached to the stereo

I have a couple spares laying around waiting for use cases... but I'm not really antsy to get to them. I'd love to build an OTTO (https://github.com/topisani/OTTO) when it's ready for prime time. I'm also considering building some sort of portable RetroPie.
As I recall that was their very first Falcon Heavy launch where we got to see the side boosters landing side by side in synchrony. Still gives me shivers that I got to see that.

I think you should cut SpaceX some slack. They pulled off the impossible and didn’t want to spend time on their record breaking live-stream speculating as to why the center booster landing failed. It’s not like they didn’t report it - later that day or the next, they explained exactly what happened.
Someone definitely pays for it. If Gilead reimburses the full amount, then those who pay insurance premiums are paying for those that don't.

Maybe those free doses are being distributed to clinics for people who are not capable of initially paying for or even filling out forms for reimbursement.
But packaging and distributing take a non-zero amount of time.

And none of those "benefits" have any advantage over running the web app in its own window.

It's a hack to use cheap web developers to check off the "standalone app" checkbox.
The pool of accurately labelled, relevant, sufficiently diverse, training data is actually rather small per problem.

Yep, and it's all irrelevant because it's a silly comparison anyway.
This is the whole reason CF will never be seen as professional. Incidents like this, blog posts that've clearly not been anywhere close to a PR department, the whole CEO-blocking-sites-he-doesn't-like incident.. no wonder Verizon ignored their emails.

CF is great if you need "free" protection for a pet project, not really anything more.
To clarify, I wasn't really commenting on the validity on any particular regulation so much as on the idea that "it's time for the pendulum to swing the other way." which seemed to imply (to me, anyway) that it's better to do something, anything, rather than doing what we're doing. I agree that doing effective things is better than nothing, but I think doing ineffective things is worse than nothing.

As to your second point, I also wish we spent more time adding features and fixing bugs from past legislation. I don't think that happens nearly enough, which is a major reason I don't trust our ability to just fix shoddy regulation after the fact.
Completely unrelated but... I had a issue with lightning instead.

We were paying some rather expensive home insurance, one time a thief broke inside, and they did all they could to avoid paying us, ended paying the bare mininum they could, barely covering the stolen goods costs.

Still at the time it didn't looked like bad faith, just fraud checking...

But then this time lightning hit our house, the insurance response was that unless we can prove it was a direct strike against the house, it would count as "electrical fault" that is not covered, because it would be blamed on the electric company instead...

So we argued that yes, the lightning DID hit our house directly (because well, it did, the path the electricity did was very obvious, with the endpoint being the pointy metal end of the structure that holds our gate upright), they just flat out refused to come check, because the likelihood of this happening was so low that they were sure it was a waste of their time to check, and that we should bother the electricity company...

The electricity company in turn, said they detected zero fluctuations on the grid, and would not send a technician to check, that it wasn't their fault.

So that day I learned that "lightning coverage" only cover a strike on the hourse itself... a strike on the lamp-post right outside for example, doesn't count, even if it blows up everything inside your house, becase the "fault" then is the electric company.

I grew up in Connecticut, and as I was reading this I had a feeling you were describing the Northeast!

I've lived and done business in New England, N. California, the Midwest and Southeast, and the attitude you described is widespread. (Though by no means practiced by everyone.)

The Southeast in fact has been the worst IME, because underhanded practices come along with a big helping of Southern "niceness", and often a lower level of competence.
Show HN: Bandmule.com Band Calendar
Hi. Well it’s been a while now since I launched the Band Mule web app which started out as a shared band calendar for managing gigs. Just thought I’d post an update on how it is going.

Since then, following user feedback, two apps have been created for Android and IOS. A setlist manager and MP3 player were introduced to the apps.

One of the difficult parts I found was filtering user feedback and deciding on what features to prioritise. The set list manager and the audio player were two features that were requested often. Unexpectedly, the top request was for the new availability viewer. This lets band members update their availability for gigs/rehearsals. The aim was to make this as simple as possible so it’s basically one big scrollable view where users can scroll down and tap days that they are available.

The app and the idea has very much been influenced by Eric Ries’ Lean Startup book. I’ve aimed to let the users drive the evolution of the app as much as possible. Even the fact that the IOS and Android apps exist (rather than just a plain web app) was due to user feedback.

The mobile apps were also written using a cross platform framework initially (Appcelerator Titanium). Eventually this became more of a crutch than a boost and they were both rewritten natively from scratch. This has been one of the best decisions to bite the bullet and go native. Development is so much quicker and nasty issues don’t arise that get hidden or introduced by a framework.

The future will likely be more of the same approach. Keep listening to feedback and iterate, iterate, iterate. I keep all feedback as individual cards on Trello and regularly group them into common themes in order to determine what feature to introduce or to enhance (or even remove).

Have a look if you’re interested, links to the apps are below.

All the best.

yep, sounds correct. Broke hand, went to the closest urgent care, they did xrays, confirmed it was broken, put it in a sling, and referred me to a specialist (by just giving me a note confirming that they referred me with the specialist's phone number) that they thought was good and was close to where I lived. However, they didn't have to pick that specific specialist. In fact, they even asked me if I had a preferred specialist and/or hospital. I called the specialist the same day, had the appointment a few days after.

California and Harvard have been fighting it. I believe a bill was passed recently to block some aspects of forced arbitration, but I don't have the link handy.
Thinking about it a bit, it actually does make sense. The language gymnastics are there to clearly distinguish this sort of thing from an act of theft.

Change the scene to that of a CEO who defrauds investors. The money was "voluntarily parted" by the investor; she didn't break into their house and steal the money. The money was obtained through fraud.

So "fraud", "theft through fraud", and yes, "voluntary parting".

What were the problems that sunk Toys R Us in the first place?
That's very interesting. I did not know this. I saw your other response, it almost feels like the other options are not really optimal either.

I guess the 5-volt power board is the best? But browsing through the Aliexpress results, I could not find anything that comes already wrapped up in a box and ready for use, as you would with a normal UPS. I suppose most people prefer that.
Certainly an interesting idea, but I think you're raising the barrier to entry by not simply implementing this as a browser extension. By having to develop a completely separate browser you're wasting a lot of time and resources that could otherwise be used to achieve the goals of the project.

I also seriously doubt the willingness of most people to install yet another battery-guzzling Electron app.

The 1/3rd / 2/3rd pattern in a lot of blockchain BFT protocols is really elegant. If 1/3 of the voting power of a chain wants it to stop, then it probably shouldn't be running. It takes 2/3rds of the voting power for the validators to actually steal anyone's money or alter history.

Your botnet example is a non-sequiter. Since power in BFT protocols does not stem from the wasting of electricity, botnets have nothing to do with any possible attacks on a BFT system.
Electronics hobby store? That’d be cool. It would probably only exist in high density locations and would have to have knowledgeable employees otherwise it’s not better than an online store where things could be cheaper.

If you could go in and ask questions and get knowledgeable answers to technical things, it might be helpful. Like early radio shack, not like right before it died.

Sorry, no. Not only do doctors and surgeons vary dramatically in competency, specialty groups within a facility can vary a lot. Further - even if we take it to the seemingling simple, like where to get an MRI - how are you able to ascertain the quality of the equipment used? The competency of the operator? The competecy of the person do the reading of the results that will guide your doctor/specialist?

If you rent to someone and they don't give it back, the easy thing to do is call it theft, but legally its a breach of contract known in the rental world as "voluntary parting".

I know, it hasn't improved since they launched it. I feel like an hour or two tweaking it could make it sound fine. I can't believe someone listened to that and said, ya, that sounds really good, let's launch it.

Maybe they were using Christopher Reeves as the voice model.
The haggling/list-price distinction is also a headache, because it varies both regionally and by both business-vertical and individual.
> The implication (by the choice of words here) 'call you to convince you of the desirability of paying them several hundred dollars to place a single stock trade' implies incorrectly that retail brokers were not in some way able to earn that money by providing value. If that were the case they would not exist and money would flow elsewhere.

The market doesn't correct itself overnight. In fact the market share of retail brokers has plummeted since the invention of index funds and now discount brokerages, suggesting that they were not providing that value.
hopefully employees who were let go can be given preference when they are hiring.
