> I'm not sure if forcing manufacturers into a single, active cable would be impossible.

> ...

> That's why I think standardization should disallow this very attempt at costs savings.

There's a somewhat famous Common Lisp FAQ along the lines of "Why didn't the standardization committee just force implementers to do X thing?"

And the answer is: your premise is wrong. Standards bodies don't have the power to force anybody to do anything. If implementors don't like your standard, they'll just ignore it. Standards live or die by their ability to raise consensus.

If Generic Device Manufacturer #4823738 looks at the USB 4 standard and decides there isn't a big market for USB peripherals whose 2 meter charging cable (say, a gamepad that charges via a fairly long 5 W USB, like a gaming console uses) runs $75 because it requires fairly heavy gauge wire to additionally support (unneeded by the gamepad) 100 W charging and has to contain (unneeded by the gamepad) 40 Gbps active signalling circuitry, they're just not going to implement the bloody USB 4 standard. They're not going to implement it if there's a $1 to be saved by going some other route, honestly.

Instead of the "universal protocol" dream dying on the rocks of a hodge-podge of subtly incompatible cables, you've simply killed it by convincing manufacturers to ship USB 2 devices until the end of time, instead.

The standard committee can impose onerous, financially punitive requirements on anything calling itself USB 4, but they can't then make manufacturers adopt USB 4, so in the end they can't solve this by forcing anyone to do anything, which is why the entire idea of "one universal protocol" is hamstrung by its own internal contradictions.
> They freely admit that they never saw further messaged because of a bug in their process, so we don't need to imagine their interpretation.

No, what I said about interpretation was about the first query when it was a 1 in 50,000 chance. For the message they missed, we don't need to imagine their interpretation because they can't interpret a message they never received.

> Even if we were going to that extent though, clearly such an interpretation doesn't comport itself to how these things are resolved within the community of satellite operators.

At the level of the community, I don't see a problem here. ESA tried to contact SpaceX to agree on a course of action; SpaceX couldn't be contacted because of a bug on their end, so ESA acted on its own to resolve the situation from its end.

I can see a problem if they plan to be a significant portion of all space traffic and they can never be relied on to be contactable in case of problems arising from their satellites. However, this happening once doesn't seem like negligence.
TfL actually received ~£3b in subsidies in 2018. That's compared to total gross income from the LU of £2,799m.

> The total of resource and capital grants receivable by TfL in 2018/19 amounted to £3,016m (2017/18 £2,477m). [1]

Total expenditure on roads of £539m, minus Congestion charges of £230m, means that subsidies received by TfL (covered by fuel duty & VED revenues) exceeded TfL road maintenance costs by £2,707m.

The LU does not subsidize the roads. It's actually the other way around. The net-subsidy (a.k.a government's net loss) on the LU is calculated at 9.7p per person-km, compared to a net-taxation (a.k.a government's net income) of 3.8p per person-km for driving.

Type hints in Python are IMO great and quite expressive!

You can create sum types (a bit verbose but they are there).

You can introspect them at run time and create things like pydantic[0] and fastapi[1].

Strict null checks with Optional[T] are great!

Now I'm not too familiar with Go's type system, but with protocols, Unions, Optional[T] and other generics offered by MyPy[2] I'd wager the type system is __more__ expressive than Go.

The second amendment is meant to decrease means and opportunity of government. Here we have the give-and-take of foundational law.

I put it to you that shootings spring not from accessible weapons, or places to use them, but rather from moral bankruptcy. Christianity instilled morality into the United States, and has driven the country (in part) to seek a "better way". But that influence is dying, and with it the moral influence that was once passed from parents to children.

I'm not arguing for religion (though that would work), I'm arguing for the teaching of moral absolutes.

See that's just a cop out. The world's climate is sufficiently complex and unevenly distributed such that any given year, some record will have been broken in some part of the world. It's neither useful nor informative to predict extremes in general. If you don't a precise prediction about the world and the climate, then you don't have science: you have random guessing.

NOAA, one of the leading world institutions in climate science, predicted in October 2018 that the U.S. would have a warm winter and the West's drought would continue.

They were way off. They can't predict the next six months with a high degree of accuracy, much less the next century.

I'd pay for it, if it was reasonably priced. I built a pair of these, one for myself, and one for my wife, and it was really a bit of a pain. I still don't really feel happy about the kits (do i have exaclty waht I want? Are the first aid kits good enough? etc)

One thing that would be nice is to have a whole suite of code around it. Some ideas:

- email me when 6 mos, 3 mos etc before my food/meds expire

- make products, etc customizable. For example, allow me to pick if I want a filter straw, or a water boiling kit, etc.

- group needs and resources by different types of situations. So I know that I am covered in a hurricane, but maybe not in an earthquake. I dunno.

Oh, and you can do a preparedness blog as marketing

> You've established the article is just about the Amazon Basics keyboard; just refer to it as the keyboard for the rest of the story.
> Way too clickbaity/SEO method of writing it.

I did that because I talk about other keyboards through out the article and when people skim it gets hard to track what "their" or "the" really means (especially if they are clicking links).

If you do a search for "the keyboard" you'll see I use that phrase 9 times and "their keyboard" twice. When combined together that's more often than I use "Amazon Basics keyboard", so I'm not just spamming phrases for SEO. If anything doing that will de-value your page rank for keyword stuffing.

I mentioned the keyboard by name the least amount of times to keep the article skimmable and making it clear that when you click a link, it's leading to that keyboard. In other words, it's a UI feature not a bug!
I'm from Georgetown, KY / Lexington area (the horse capital of the world) and I have a program where I can input data from upcoming races, including weather predictions, that can simulate a potential race over and over, resulting in some meaningful numbers.

> Sensationalized TV coverage of mass shootings may encourage more of them

Sensationalism sells ads. You're asking the media to act against their own interest in order to serve a greater public interest. But if one outlet doesn't do this, another will. Therefore such coverage is inevitable with a competitive free press.

A non regulatory solution would involve making such coverage not sell more ads. That means making sensationalized murders less attractive to viewers. That means reshaping human character in a fundamental way. Quite a project.
>First comer advantage is huge.

No. It was first comer advantage in affordable wifi MCUs since they existed just fine before but only as more expensive solutions as I mentioned. You can keep on claiming otherwise but the facts don't support you in claiming that there weren't wifi MCUs before.
Very few systems in the real world implement OAEP, and even with OAEP you have to watch out for Manger's padding oracle attack (susceptibility to which may be commented out of the Javascript RSA you've posted here --- I'm like 50/50 on this because I've never taken the time to implement Manger because I've never been professionally asked to look at an OAEP implementation because, again, OAEP is pretty rare --- at this point, if you're designing a modern system, you're not using RSA.)
What's your point? Every human with a pulse can't get a weapon. You have to be the right age and pass a background check.

How much does your ISP spend on lobbying?
You forgot the case 5) ports match, some protocols match, port works at much reduced capability.

This is great for backwards compatibility, but can confuse users. You could have a TB3 drive attached to a TB3 computer by a USB cable with type C connectors that only operates at USB 2 speeds. It will silently fall back to a very slow transfer.

I don't know how the committee could have done much better though; this kind of fallback is important. Some mandated labeling would have helped a lot though.
It means the second amendment gives no individual right of gun ownership, at all. Zero, zilch, nada, nothing.

It's absolutely absent, it's not there. There is no right.

Perhaps there ought to be an individual right, but the second amendment doesn't have it.
There's about a thousand cynical answers to your question, but the truth is simply that not everyone is like your (or me): all measures (return visits, pages/visit, conversions, etc) just happen to be better for autoplaying video.

I would totally agree with you and the others that it's an annoying practice. Yet then again when I blanket-banned autoplay, I was annoyed by youtube videos no longer doing it.

Turns out we like it where we expect it. Just not from random google results to sites we rarely visit.
The process of the scientific method involves making conjectures (hypotheses), deriving predictions from them as logical consequences, and then carrying out experiments or empirical observations based on those predictions.[5][6] A hypothesis is a conjecture, based on knowledge obtained while seeking answers to the question. The hypothesis might be very specific, or it might be broad. Scientists then test hypotheses by conducting experiments or studies. A scientific hypothesis must be falsifiable, implying that it is possible to identify a possible outcome of an experiment or observation that conflicts with predictions deduced from the hypothesis; otherwise, the hypothesis cannot be meaningfully tested.[7]

Indeed, I don't even know any Japanese people that use the kana keys. I don't know the recent data but in 2009 there was a study that found only 12% of Japanese people used kana input.

Something that is disappointing about these keycaps is that they mostly only make these for US keyboard layouts not actual Japanese keyboard layouts. I have a Japanese keyboard that the keys were getting worn on and something like this seems like it would be a good replacement but it isn't because several of the keys that aren't letters such as shift characters on numbers and other special characters are labeled wrong for a real Japanese keyboard.

There are some Japanese layout replacement keycaps but the selection is very limited compared to how many of these stylistic kana keycaps they make for US layouts. I cringe a little bit every time I see these keycaps. I mean I get it, but still.
You are wrong. There were many Wifi MCU solutions available before.

Not sure what relevance your metaphor has on Brexit since the voting public did not have "all the available information." Because no one could have possibly known what the terms of Brexit would be, because they would have to be negotiated.

Which was the problem with the referendum. As in the example comment above it was like asking "Do you want lower taxes?" Well that kind of depends on a lot of stuff. Are the lower taxes coming from budget cuts (if so, from what), debt increase, or what?

> If cash is only a good asset class when shit is hitting the fan, that probably implies it’s not a very good store of wealth!

Why do you think the same about any other asset that relies on inflationary monetary system?
Exactly.

And now 6+ hours and hundreds of comments later I went through the comments and I still haven't seen anyone post a single mechanical keyboard that matches my requirements at any price point. It's just dozens of posts about needing to be a keyboard surgeon and assembling a selection of carefully picked pieces without any end to end guides.

For the most part I just want to plug it in, have it feel good and write code.

Your $150 recommendation from below almost fits the bill but it looks like a super condensed keyboard with a non-standard layout that's missing a bunch of extra keys, and I can't find any concrete proof of what it sounds like on video. It also has a lower average star review than the Amazon Basics keyboard (but I wouldn't put much weight into that).
We are all perpetuating this system every day. That’s not in itself a sign that we’re doing something wrong, as most of us have little power to change it. But I think it’s time we form collectives that have enough power to serve as alternatives to the unfair system we have today.
Ok? I never said it was wrong to speculate. That's all anyone in this thread is doing, and of course that is fine. As it happened, the real story was just that the message never got to the human Starlink operator. SpaceX didn't refuse, decline, whatever, they just didn't see the email. Just goes to show you that our assumptions about these types of things can be wrong.

Can't some words written down nearly 230 years ago be updated to account for what we know to be dangerous now, in 2019? All safe, responsible reporting can still be allowed.

I don't think the founders ever considered 24-hour cable news, or sensational (and often false!) instant-reporting via the internet and social networks. That's what's feeding these copycat mass shooting events today. In 1791, when the 1st Amendment was written, it'd take days for news to reach the next city, and weeks to reach another state! And printing presses were generally only wielded by a small set of accountable people.

Of course there's no "reporting licenses" – yet. There are powerful lobbies that have shot down reasonable reporting restrictions, whenever they've been proposed. But such licenses could restore the balance of reporting to that which existed, when the Bill of Rights was written.

And the 1st amendment is just an amendment – not even part of the original Constitution. It can be further reinterpreted, or new exceptions added, or revoked, if necessary. We'd still have the other 9 amendments in the Bill of Rights, in any case.
