That's what I want to know as well. This github[0] mentions the sensor as a standalone item, and this appears to be the manufacturer[1]. This[2] is the closest I could find for purchase (24GHz, as opposed to Soli's 60GHz, and nearly 300 bucks to boot).

Because the user is the product. It's a data mining operation wrapped in a deceptive package.
In both cases the question is if a company should assist in something unethical. The scale is very different but the principle is the same.

The question is hypothetical anyway. Markets select for profitability, not ethics.
You can still do it the normal way.. It's a neat idea and new interaction methods coming up means we can experiment and maybe find things that work even better. Soli if they work out the kinks would be great because you could increase the interaction area available without having to make a bigger device.
I think you're making a lot of assumptions here.

First off, these constellations will (in theory) have fewer tradeoffs vs terrestrial networks.

At only 350-800 miles up, they are much lower latency than current satellite based Internet. These in theory add similar levels of latency as DOCSIS - and tolerable levels to most internet based applications.

It won't replace fiber for very latency sensitive applications - but being able to deliver a tremendous amount of bandwidth virtually anywhere with a penalty of only ~7-10ms is very compelling.

Secondly, in rural areas, everyone has a view of the sky. Very few have compelling fiber, or even cable/DSL options.

This could dramatically reduce the cost of backhaul services to ground based cellular stations - and improve connectivity in a variety of other ways.

If it's cheap enough.
They deliver better latency than current sat-based internet. They also want to use fixed phase array antennas instead of large dishes or tracking dishes. This is a new kind of service that has not existed before.
Interesting analogy. Only after reading this comment did I realize that my mental model has been somewhat similar. Although if I had to write it down, I'd phrase it in terms of data structures.

If you have a sparse matrix of nouns and verbs where cells show whether a given verb(noun) pairing is valid, indexing by noun is clearly more efficient, because most of the time you know exactly what you're operating on, but not necessarily what the operation you want is named. The variables are likely right there before your eyes, a couple lines above the cursor, but the functions are spread out all over the code base.
actually it's almost exactly Venus' orbital speed.
Having the calls go through Dapr is actually a pretty powerful feature: Dapr will handle retries and handle failures and guarantee an at-least-once delivery. For high-throughput scenarios we have a gRPC client which can see a much higher throughput than regular HTTP.

Yes, you are right: from the consumer's viewpoint, it's "ask to subscribe, ask to publish a message" and you're off.
You mean like licensing terms?
I'm no expert, but as far as I'm aware it's a combination of beta decay and thermal neutrino pair production.
Not BTC being anonymous, but that BTC "mixer" services would anonymize the data in an untrackable way.

I never trusted the mixers personally. But it was a hot debate item a few years back whether or not law enforcement could track transactions through a mixer.

Its always been my firm belief that a mixer was just automated money laundering and probably puts you up for legal scrutiny as well. But we'll see how the FBI decides to handle those...

To be slightly pedantic here: Power is energy per second, so power consumption itself would go down. Total energy consumption, which is power*time could go up.
Private investors still like to be "wowed"... even if they don't do their homework either.
Not enough demand? The 3 or 4 billion people without internet don't get to participate in the conversation?

Big cities could benefit if a lot of the load on existing networks shifts to Starlink. Better service for everyone.

Not everything is simply competition / winner-take-all in market economics, even if that's the tendency.
You seem to be confused as to the purpose of renter's insurance. Renter's insurance does not cover the cost to repair broken appliances or problems with the apartment that reduce habitability. Not sure where you got that idea from. Renter's insurance covers the renter's property if something in the apartment damages it. For example, if there is a fire that damages your computer, renter's insurance will pay a replacement cost, but will not pay for the repair to the apartment. That is up to the homeowner's policy the landlord pays for.

Source: have rented solely in buildings requiring renter's insurance, and have never filed a claim for things breaking in the apartment. The landlord always fixes it.

I remember hearing a story about some fluid getting in the eye of an astronaut working on the exterior of the ISS, and them not being able to wipe it away due to the helmet, so just continuing while in pain / discomfort.

Perhaps spacesuits could do with some kind of manipulable swab within the helmet to deal with situations like this.
This was likely done to discourage any further investment in competing networks like OneWeb, Telesat, etc.

It'll probably work, especially since SpaceX is also the only network operator that can control launch costs.
Humor me. How would you phrase it based on personality types? Give me some examples.

I'm explicitly pushing you on this point because you have yet to make any suggestions for how to actually construct what to say. It's like if I asked an engineer how they would implement a sorting algorithm and they stopped their answer at "I would make sure it satisfied the requirements of the problem." That answer doesn't require you to put real stakes on the table.

Everyone I have ever asked had their own framework. What's yours? How would you actually do it?
> very few people claim that capitalism alone is the solution to human progress.

I see people claiming that all the time.
You sure you're using the right units?
Or, they will all pre-emptively adopt stronger policies to avoid freeloading. OSS apps don't pay for bandwidth used in downloads, and Google is the one benefiting most from all the free apps on their platform. So if _they_ aren't comfortable with the situation, I can't see a breakup solving that.
> power is the goal (their power over you)

working remotely gives too much power to workers because interviewing elsewhere becomes so inexpensive. In fact I'd argue most remote devs that are not already at the top of their potential compensation/status (say, someone working in the linux kernel team) are interviewing constantly. Most companies not aiming for top tallent are better off taking on contractors than remote full time developers.
One spot where it's already improving things is in the face unlock. It uses the Soli sensor to detect when you're approaching the device then uses the camera (maybe combined with to the Soli sensor) to unlock much faster than even the iPhone. In MKBHD's initial review it was fully on and unlocked before he even brought it all the way up.
All you need is a 10 minute standup to solve that problem every day. You can even do it async and have people post it on slack or something. If people aren't saying it in enough detail, then ask for more detail.
Not to mention the populations in Urban America that simply don’t have access to fiber.
Remember, those who yell the loudest about something, are usually guilty of indulging in it the most.
I don't think Bitcoin can be anonymous if it goes through an exchange, because you have to create an account with identifying information. I you host the endpoint yourself, it may be possible to completely mask the source, but I'm really not sure.
You make it yourself and its a quite easy process. Look up dmt tek
I tried to comfort a co-worker who was lamenting a low productivity quarter by explaining on a long enough timescale all human productivity will likely be lost. So 90 days isn't really a big deal. She didn't see the humor in my observation.
Name a single notable person.
Yeah, I have no idea what those folks were doing. I know I can get the result because I did, back in the day. I'm not a licensed hypnotherapist but I went through an exploratory phase in my 20's which included experimentation with hypnosis. It was easy to develop "profound" hypnotic phenomenon like arm catalepsy (your arm is basically asleep, if you feel it with your other hand it feels like someone else's arm, etc.) I don't know what to tell you.

I actually only ever tried smoking cessation once, at a party, to demonstrate hypnosis. A friend of a friend went from two packs a day to two cigarettes a day, and a month later she was still barely smoking. YMMV.

Oh man! I just remembered what happened: I went into an online quit-smoking chatroom and offered to help people quit and they tore me a new one. People were howling for my blood! That's why I never went into business as a therapist. (That and I'm kind of an anti-social curmudgeon.)

Isn't there already a separate word—subspecies—for "isolated reproductive groups, with different phenotypes, which could still interbreed if the opportunity arose"? My understanding was that every phenotypically-distinct isolated reproductive group was considered a subspecies until its genetics diverged enough to have speciated, at which point it was now a species.

It seems to me that if e.g. American black bears and Asian black bears can interbreed, then we could call them all one species—black bears—and put all their subspecies together in into that taxonomic category. Maybe with some optional taxonomic level between "species" and "subspecies" for describing their phenotypic groupings.

But I see, looking at various sources, that those two types of bears are indeed considered separate species. Why do we do that? What's better/more useful about drawing the species boundary there?
There is a dead comment on this thread which is suggesting that Bitcoin is more useful than any other form of money for law enforcement because it is only pseudo-anonymous. I'm not sure why it is dead (perhaps the reference to Stasi/etc) but I think this is a valid point and is why I didn't buy more than a few hundred in Bitcoin many years ago to get a feel for the currency. I gave it all away because I did not believe it is a valid form of money.

They are primarily coming from neutron capture (electron + proton -> electron neutrino + neutron). During much of the collapse even these weakly-interacting neutrinos get trapped behind the high-density shock wave. As it expands and the density becomes lower, they escape in what's known as the neutronization burst.
This is why you should exchange your Bitcoin to Monero.

Transfer the value to another anonymized blockchain and make future transactions nearly impossible to track.
Another point which may be missing from the analysis: if I were Musk and I wanted 3000 satellites in orbit I'd probably also make a filing for 10x that and see how much I can get / how much I will need to meet demand.
Even developed areas in the US typically are stuck with one broadband provider. If you do have a second one, everywhere I've lived it's been DSL service and I've never heard anything good about it aside from being cheaper than Comcast.
People are often a lot more upset when they pay money and there is no exit plan. Shut downs can be abrupt and chaotic, suggesting they monetize immediately doesn't seem helpful either. If that's the suggestion, I'd ask: how much would you pay and how long do you expect notification in advance of a shut down? Do you expect a refund? Full or partial? Do you expect portability? If so, what kind.
Iirc OSINT is information that is intentionally publically available, like county arrest records.
Using Magic Mushrooms and Ayahuasca both made me more in touch with my body, and pushed me to take care of myself more. I noticed, while on Ayahuasca, that much of my anxiety was due to physical pain (or vice versa!), and that self-medicating with alcohol & tobacco were ultimately causing me more pain and dependence.

I was addicted to smoking, but not addicted to alcohol. Now, trying either leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Although, for health reasons, ironically, I am trying to pick up drinking Pinot Noir on occasion!

I'm a little conflicted, because right now the experience around enabling E2EE is very alarming for low-tech users and a pain for anyone who signs in from many places, and if it isn't enabled I have better security just messaging my friends with LINE. That said, I really want to write some bots for it. Group chats are the future of social networking, they all say...
Pornography is absolute fucking toxic waste. It is misery inducing in both obvious and subtle ways. Not only does pornography destroy reputation and exploit the naive, but it also causes a seething undercurrent of repressed jealousy to transpire among sexually frustrated individuals of all persuasions, far worse than the body image anxiety that any glossy fashion magazine could ever hope to provoke.

If changes aren't made to reign in that extremely graphic pornography we see on the internet, with all the emphatic blockade tactics used against racists, malignant nationalists, child pornography and pedophilia, radicalizing terrorist propaganda and warring, retaliatory drug cartel snuff violence, you will see things get worse.

Repeat: You will see things get worse.

Much worse.

What makes Monero different than Bitcoin?
But isn't it relevant when the use changes the need for public services? Aren't the external effects captured when fair market value is the value against which a millage rate's applied? I'm not seeing what's gained by ignoring the use.
If you do not need enterprise use cases (single sign-on, higher level SLAs, shared authentication, etc) and your scale fits within our defined constraints, then free is the price.
As things currently are, I think the only realistic option in that scenario is to find another place to live.
My guess would be that the long tail of proprietary (due to existing market, mergers, de-facto standards, etc.) favors a greedy incumbent, which has basically never in history worked in the favor of the many. But published, open standards allow for greater adoption and participation, as well as a longer support lifespan.
The problem is that knowledge at foundation is axiomatic and circular. When we discuss science, we agree to do it in the good faith and subscribe to certain undefined concepts and (unproven by definition) axioms: what it means to know, what are basic established facts, scientific method, logical reasoning, Occam's razor, 1 + 1 = 2, and countless others.

Flat-earthers are just biological computers like the rest of us. But there is no path to reconciliation because they were not imprinted with our axiomatic system early enough. They happily do their computing (aka thinking) like the rest of us, but their world view is wrong in our perspective, only because we subscribe to different axiomatic system.

Pretty sad news. I get the feeling that, in general, no company wants to give users a way to share free-form content and have ownership over that content. Every new "social media" platform that pops up allows sharing only a very strictly-defined set of data, shared only in a limited way.

A lot of the open-ended nature of sharing on the web has gone by the wayside, while extremely narrowly-focused sharing methods take their place.

Flickr for example feels like some kind of relic, a holdover from an earlier time, where you can actually _join groups_ and share photos (incl. metadata!) in there and have discussions in those groups. I'm very thankful it still exists, and I dread the day it is shut down.

I used to spend a ton of time browsing Flickr groups related to my interests (R.I.P. "Macintosh" group!) as it was a perfect way to find great photos and some interesting discussion you cannot find elsewhere. I've tried to do the same on Instagram over the years, and it's just not the same. Browsing everyone who tagged their stupid coffee photo #macintosh is not even close to the same experience, and sharing a conversation with people is simply not possible in that context.

Not sure what else to say. It's just another casualty of the web I grew up with. The web I watch slowly disappear. :\
Slurm is not great. I found recently that when submitting an array of jobs, it will reject you if the upper bound is too high, regardless of the size of the array. I filed a bug but received no response.
This uses a compile to JS language . So you first have to compile it before running it in Node, which complicates things imho. There is nothing wrong with logging, but if you are logging stepping in out of functions you could as well use a stepping debugger.
I have never understood the appeal of BitCoin as a means of purchasing or selling illegal materials. The entire transaction history is literally encoded in a public ledger!

All Law Enforcement has ever needed to do is trace back the transactions - something that's almost impossible with conventional currencies. Heck the equitable principle of 'Tracing' exists in Law because it's normally impossible to do that once monies have intermingled.

The sheer practicality of it is demonstrated in the fact that it's only worthwhile or practicable for Law Enforcement to investigate _large-scale_ money-laundering operations. Yet with Bitcoin you can essentially read back the exact history of every single satoshi.
As a former sufferer, the headline is pretty dangerous, IMO. It'd be more correct to say that such people see _some aspects_ of the world more realistically, while others are totally bent out of shape. E.g. anything related to optimism and self-worth is totally out of whack: even if the person can _logically_ conclude there are reasons for optimism and non-zero self-worth, they still don't _feel_ like it's true.

So it's dangerous to suggest that their lack of optimism and self-worth is "realistic" in any way, because it never is.
I think the lack of "enforcers" of any kind throughout the episode is key to understanding it. The closest thing we really see is the Cuppliance drink. The stage hands hesitatingly start to step in near the end, but are waved off and aren't exactly jack-booted thugs anyway.

Those demoted aren't dragged away crying. Our protagonist does property damage without apparent censure (one is left to suppose the screens get replaced, eventually, while he's out, maybe or maybe not with a charge to his merit account, similar to the way "detritus" is taken care of).

This is why I don't think there's much room for ambiguity re: whether the outdoors at the end is real. If it's not then that's undercutting what's been the key theme of the rest of the episode, of timid acquiescence to a very gently coercive system. If it's real then that's the punch line of the whole thing—these people could just leave, and they don't because of some combination of social norms, fear of the unknown, fear of losing what (pointedly crappy and meaningless—the avatar skins and such) comforts they have, and (one may assume) some soft but effective persuasion techniques that might come up if they tried. Since assuming it's the latter is consistent with the rest of the episode and makes it much stronger, it doesn't make much sense that it'd be anything else or even be deliberately left ambiguous (why?).

It's all about how control and how a "trapped" state can occur absent anyone waving guns around. With more than a little commentary on social class, celebrity, electronic entertainment, and the hollowness of participation in an economic system and society heavy on alienation (the bikes), along the way.

[EDIT] I just skimmed the first few minutes again because I remembered there being a whole thing about fruit, and not only that, the opening's full of cartoony imagery of the green outdoors. The outdoors at the end is definitely intended to be real, not fake or even ambiguous, unless we assume incompetence on the part of the creators. It's the antithesis of the wholly false, not-even-trying-to-look-real outdoors scenes that are all over the beginning, which did leave room to wonder what the world's like outside this environment—the ending gives us the answer.
